On this episode of The CharlieKirk Show, host Charlie Kirk is joined by Laura Flynn, CEO of the Remnant Alliance and Founder of Turning Point USA, to discuss the events that took place on July 13th and 14th in the United States of America. President Trump was shot and killed in a Pennsylvania suburb of Dayton, Ohio, and the media are covering it as if it were some kind of good thing. In fact, it was one of the most evil things that has ever happened to our country, and it has been happening for a very long time. Charlie and Laura discuss why this should not be seen as good news, and why we should all be thankful that Donald Trump was gunned down in the streets of Butler County, Pa. on the 13th of July, 2019, by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) on the orders of Hillary Clinton and the White House.

00:00:39.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:02:10.000Can you believe this has been like the most politically eventful summer in history?
00:02:14.000And we are a fatigued nation, and that's okay, because God calls us to rest in certain periods of time.
00:02:21.000And I think we need to look at August as a time as a strategic retreat to reload, to rest, and then there's really no excuses from Labor Day onward to November.
00:02:34.000But let's just kind of recap what we've been through just this year and then of course this summer.
00:02:41.000He went to trial the entire month of May, which we thought was going to be the most kind of interesting thing happening in 2024, where he sits in a courtroom for a Soviet-style show trial for 34 counts, where they can't even tell you what the actual crime is.
00:02:59.000And gets found guilty, even though they can't tell you what he's guilty of.
00:03:03.000Then we enter June, and someone had this genius idea that we were supposed to have a summer debate of Trump versus Biden, where Biden just stared aimlessly into the oblivion for an hour and a half.
00:03:17.000And we were told that all of a sudden the media is allowed to now report on the fact that we do not have a president, but we have a corpse as a president.
00:03:23.000And then all this chatter that they're going to pull Joe Biden.
00:03:27.000And then the Saturday before the RNC, before we don't even know who the VP is.
00:03:33.000That's really important to this story, by the way.
00:04:13.000Vance's opinions of cats more than Donald Trump getting shot.
00:04:17.000And that was like two and a half weeks ago, just so we understand.
00:04:20.000It'll be three weeks on Saturday since Donald Trump got shot.
00:04:23.000And let me just say this, the more that we learn about what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania, I don't think I could have had a more dark view of the federal government leading into July 13th, but I'll tell ya.
00:04:37.000I gotta be a little careful the way I say this.
00:04:39.000I think we all know what happened on July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania.
00:04:47.000Maybe it was God who loves peace saying, I don't want to see America go into a civil war.
00:04:52.000And how God works out things for his good, Romans 12, 2, we don't always know, but for those who love him, God is always working out things for his good.
00:04:59.000So, Trump gets shot, they memory hole that, then we have an RNC, we know who our VP is, praise God, and then, oh yeah, they pull Joe Biden, and we're all supposed to like Kamala Harris now.
00:05:12.000So she goes from the most hated person in American politics that everybody would make fun of, to more popular than Barack Obama.
00:05:20.000And understandably, our side is like, oh my goodness, we have to go.
00:05:24.000We fought with the trial, and we fought with the indictments, and we fought through, you know, the debate, and Trump almost got shot.
00:05:34.000Because we are at war in this country for the future of the civilization, and the Democrats They've had basically three years of compressed energy that is now just being let out for what honestly is a hologram for the Democrat regime.
00:05:53.000She's like the most unlikable, fakest person ever to run for the presidency.
00:06:46.000I only have so much time to kind of make this argument and ask the question, what was God really doing there?
00:06:52.000And we were just talking about this at dinner, I don't know what God's purposes are, but allow me to introduce a hypothesis.
00:06:59.000Maybe God spared Donald Trump's life to test his church.
00:07:05.000Let's be honest, the American church is a joke in this country.
00:07:09.000It is a church that is filled with cowards, And people that call themselves pastors but are really motivational speakers wearing skinny jeans with new sneakers that run TED Talks with rock concerts with organized parking and good coffee.
00:10:07.000I'll try to save the college campuses.
00:10:09.000But I made the worst prediction in the history of American podcasting.
00:10:12.000So all the lockdowns started, and I was telling everyone, hey guys, this is communism, this is Marxism, why are we doing this?
00:10:18.000Oh, because, you know, COVID's gonna kill everybody.
00:10:20.000It's like, well, obviously they're lying, because that's what the government does, but, you know, I guess I was just a conspiracy theorist.
00:11:40.000During the Summer of Love, the race riots, otherwise known as Floydapalooza, as the country was burning to a crisp, the pastors who told us that I'll never talk about politics, it's too controversial, were taking a knee and kissing the feet of their black congregants saying that we must have a racial reckoning because we're systemically racist to our core, because I watched a 90-second Instagram video on race relations and I'm an expert.
00:12:03.000And many pastors were afraid to speak out against this bitter lie from the pit of hell, otherwise known as critical race theory, because they didn't want to be called a racist.
00:12:11.000So I looked at this, I said, wow, not only are we closing down, masking our children, our schools are closed, we're burning our streets, and the church is silent, and it all made sense.
00:12:20.000And great thanks to Steve Maxwell and Paul Blair, and so many people to help connect the dots for me.
00:12:24.000I was in the first one, I said, oh my goodness, it's all happening because the church is no longer counselor to the king in this nation.
00:12:32.000And if we are honest with ourselves, we have not recovered from 2020.
00:13:28.000So you have a civilization that the foundation was once the church, and then we expect to get back to liberty without the church doing its job.
00:13:50.000Demand the welfare of the nation that you are in because your welfare is tied to your nation's welfare.
00:13:54.000You pray and fast for your leaders by name, as it says in 1 Timothy.
00:13:57.000You care about your nation so much that you are willing to civilly disobey evil because you love God more Then you care about what the government can do to you.
00:14:20.000But pastors will say, you know, I don't want to be political, I just want to preach the gospel.
00:14:24.000Okay, then get a pair of scissors and go into the Word of God and take out Esther, Mordecai, Nehemiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, Joseph, because you've got a lot of editing to do about people that we consider heroes in the Bible that were awfully political while you want to be comfortable.
00:14:42.000And I am talking this way because I don't want to be Christian famous.
00:16:40.000Of no limits on abortion, of mutilating children because of the transgender agenda, of no borders, and war in every hemisphere, and lying, and corruption, and the most demonic activity that we have seen in the history of this country, or a man who has been shot, saved by the grace of God, served one term, had a term robbed from him, was unjustly tried to be put in prison, and did everything he said he was going to do from defending Israel and securing the border, but you don't like his tweets?
00:17:07.000I have no patience for you anymore, people.
00:17:28.000And I look at these, and my friend Steve Dase is here, who's just been doing great, and I understand at times when Christians are a little hesitant.
00:17:38.000However, it's up to all of us to push and to pressure and to make sure the stakes of this election are very clear.
00:17:46.000I'll close with this and we'll do some questions.
00:17:49.000In 2016, Donald Trump received 72% of the evangelical Christian vote.
00:17:56.000And I'm afraid it's going to be even lower than that this cycle if we don't do our job.
00:17:59.000I see a lot of warning signs, but it can change immediately if the rank-and-file Christian and the rank-and-file pastor will teach biblical citizenship and biblical truth from now until the election.
00:18:14.000What a tragedy it would be in Arizona, Georgia, Arizona my home state, Georgia, Pennsylvania, if we fall 30,000 ballots short or 10,000 ballots short.
00:18:23.000Do you know we fell 41,000 ballots short in three states in 2020 despite all of their garbage?
00:19:11.000His crime was being a journalist exposing the fact that Planned Parenthood sells baby parts for cash.
00:19:19.000She was the one that boastfully said, I am going to throw every law in the California legal code after this journalist who exposed the fact that Planned Parenthood was literally having lunches selling baby parts from aborted babies for thousands of dollars.
00:19:44.000I don't think we've ever had an election where the differences were this dramatic and this stark.
00:19:48.000But there is this malaise of confusion that I believe is from the pit of hell, that has infected the church.
00:19:54.000And it's an attitude of over-religiosity at times, of self-righteousness, of smugness, of I am better than you, of that I know the word better than Donald Trump, and I'm some sort of, like, really tough guy because I can read biblical Hebrew and Donald Trump barely can say, you know, 2 Corinthians.
00:20:52.000Pastors will be judged a lot harsher for their lack of wisdom and courage than some purple-haired trans kid at the University of North Texas.
00:21:01.000Because at least the purple-haired trans kid doesn't do evil in the name of God.
00:21:50.000We take the most vocal, Truthful arguments possible with zero pandering whatsoever, and you actually win the most people over, when you do not try to water down your message, and you go into hostile environments.
00:22:07.000I will go to college campuses, by the way, I'm doing 21 college campus visits this fall, the most I've ever done.
00:22:12.000I'm going to UW-Madison, I'm going to University of Michigan, Michigan State University, Penn State, University of Pittsburgh, I'm going to Georgia Tech, I'm going to University of Georgia, I'm going all over the place, right?
00:22:22.000I will be asked questions about the trans thing.
00:22:24.000So most pastors will say, for example, that Preston Prinkle loser, whatever, that guy who's involved in the Campus Crusade stuff.
00:22:32.000It's like, well, you know, we must use gender, the pronouns that trans people want to use.
00:22:47.000I think it's a mental disease, and we've allowed it to all of a sudden become an identity.
00:22:51.000I think that there are two sexes, zero genders, and unlimited personalities.
00:22:55.000And what we used to call a personality disorder, we now call a gender disorder, that we treat with body treatment when it should be brain treatment.
00:23:02.000So, transgenderism is a brain problem, not a body problem, and that's how we should go about it.
00:23:07.000People say, well, Charlie, you know, most people criticize, Charlie, that's too spicy.
00:23:10.000Well, you know we have a big problem at Turning Point USA.
00:23:13.000We cannot find rooms big enough to fit all the students that want to attend our on-campus events.
00:23:19.000There is something very promising happening on campuses.
00:23:49.000So, and I'm very honest, we have probably not done enough to secure the integrity of our elections.
00:23:54.000But you say, but Charlie, then why keep fighting?
00:23:56.000Because we don't know exactly to what margin are they're able to cheat or to what margin they're able to steal it.
00:24:03.000So look, first let me just tell you my theological attitude.
00:24:06.000Even if there was almost no chance of us winning, everyone should still fight because it's about honoring God, not about the probability of the outcome.
00:24:20.000Number two, I'll give you some promising news.
00:24:22.000This last week, probably the most, the best news of the week that was not covered by the media, as many of you know, we have hundreds of full-time ballot chasers in Arizona where we are going to try to drive low-propensity conservative Republican turnout to make it, quote, too big to rig, right?
00:24:38.000So we tested that hypothesis this last week and last couple of weeks.
00:24:42.000Where, as you know, in Maricopa County, we have some of the most broken elections in the country, right?
00:24:46.000Long voting, signature verification issues, and the person largely responsible for that is this not-great-guy-by-the-name-of-Steven-Richard, the Maricopa County recorder.
00:24:56.000And he constantly would go to the media, and he was, you know, close with Biden, talking about how the election was not stolen, all of that.
00:25:02.000So we launched a small-but-mighty grassroots challenge against Steven Richard, with no help of the Republican apparatus.
00:25:09.000No money, no support, but we had, thanks to many of you who donate to Turning Point Action, hundreds of full-time ballot chasers to try to drive low-propensity Republican turnout.
00:25:18.000Well, on Tuesday, despite the fact that we were outspent like 30-to-1 and they had a third-party challenger, we defeated Stephen Richer on Tuesday in the Republican primary in Arizona.
00:25:29.000And the significance of this is that if they could have found a way to rig to keep him in, they would have done it.
00:25:37.000So we might have probably won by 60,000 votes, not 20,000 votes.
00:25:40.000But that was such an amazing, what we call a red pill, or a promising development, because now they have lost their stakeholder who oversees the largest county in Arizona, who oversees one of the most important states in the country.
00:25:55.000And it's with driving higher turnout and making it so that the volume of the ballots are so great that it is so overwhelming that they basically throw their hands up and say, we can't engage on that.
00:26:09.000There are still there's still a lot wrong.
00:26:11.000With signature verification, a lot wrong with ballot custody because our Republicans have been too weak and have failed to actually act on the issues in front of us.
00:26:19.000So I will say, I'll close with this, we'll do another question.
00:26:22.000I'll say, there's lots of top types of fraud, but the greatest type of fraud in American politics is people who agree with us that don't vote.
00:26:32.000That is a fraud that we are committing against ourselves.
00:26:35.000So my passion, my obsession, is driving every single person who passively or very forcefully agrees with us to make sure they vote, vote correctly, and vote in huge numbers.
00:26:48.000And my prayer is that we do our part and God does only what God can do going into November.
00:26:54.000But this week in Arizona was a very promising development that bad guys can lose even with corrupt elections.
00:28:03.000But, please, I'm a subject matter expert on this.
00:28:05.000I wrote a whole book called The College Scam.
00:28:07.000Colleges are actively destroying the country, and conservative Christians that keep on sending our prized possessions to colleges, you're playing Russian roulette with your kids' future, and if they survive, you're very, very lucky, and you should be very blessed, and thank God, but that's not directed towards you.
00:28:21.000Okay, so the first thing is that the education of your children and their worldview needs to start at age two or three, and it needs to be a daily discussion about what are our values, what are American values, so that if they go to college, then it's not even a question.
00:28:36.000As far as what all of you can do, the answer is so much.
00:28:40.000Whether it be first and foremost, as I said, leave the church if your church is not outspoken.
00:28:45.000Go to a good church that is, and assist them on a daily basis, or a weekly basis, or if you can, a monthly basis.
00:28:51.000Become a force multiplier in your local community.
00:28:58.000Or, let me give you another call to action that we have going on the show right now.
00:29:02.000At Turning Point Action, we have a donor that has funded this.
00:29:04.000We will help put you up in a hotel and give you a stipend for two weeks before the election if you want to leave Texas and go to Arizona or Wisconsin and chase ballots and go get low-propensity conservative turnout.
00:29:19.000You can say, hey, I'm giving three weeks vacation, you know, from my boss, and I'm going to give two weeks to my country, and I'm going to go to Maricopa County, and Charlie's going to put me to work.
00:29:27.000If you're interested in that, you guys can go to our website, you can sign up for it.
00:29:30.000Our goal is to have 10,000 out-of-state patriots flood Arizona and flood Wisconsin in a way that we've never seen before.
00:30:12.000Because if they try to take me out, which they're going to, of course, or they're going to try to take, you know, Michael Flynn out, it doesn't matter.
00:30:19.000The knowledge has now been decentralized into millions of different people that if you are actively learning and actively absorbing, then our movement is so much harder to stop, and then, you know, ten new Charlie Kirks can rise up if they try to take one out.
00:30:34.000That is why learning and actively knowing what is happening in your country is important.
00:31:11.000Do you recommend early voting or voting on Election Day, and what would you say to the people who say that you have to vote on Election Day to make it harder for the other side to cheat?
00:32:23.000Let me tell you my philosophy on early voting.
00:32:25.000I'm not saying it's the best way of voting, but it's time that we must engage in early voting month.
00:32:30.000Number one, election day is the last day of voting, not the first day of voting.
00:32:34.000Number two, our supporters of Donald Trump and our movement are so passionate, we should give them more days, not less days, to try to vote.
00:32:45.000They're so passionate, shouldn't we give them an opportunity to vote earlier than later?
00:32:49.000And finally, and most importantly, many members of our movement do not have the physical capacity to stand in line for two to three hours in the Arizona sun in a state that we need to win.
00:33:00.000I would rather have them vote in person early voting two days before election day than have their vote be jeopardized when all of a sudden half of our voting centers go down again and we have to say, oh it's not Carrie Lake that's governor, instead it's Katie Hobbs that governor.
00:33:14.000If you are an election day voter, that means you're a four out of four propensity voter and this is not directed towards you.
00:33:19.000And the final point I'll make is this.
00:33:21.000I'll tell you about my neighbor who's a plumber.
00:36:37.000If every single person, you understand the power in this room, the force multiplication potential in this room is immense.
00:36:44.000This room could win the entire election.
00:36:46.000If you became on fire and did Sunday sermon after Sunday sermon, talking about biblical citizenship, if you started gathering the pastors in your community, you started doing deployments, saying we're gonna go send a thousand of our congregants to Arizona to go chase ballots, we're gonna go send 2,000 people to Georgia to go chase ballots, this entire election, this could be saved by this room alone.
00:37:08.000And so the question is this, do we want it or do we want to stay comfortable?
00:37:11.000This nation was founded by people like you in this room.
00:37:15.000Liberty is God's idea, not man's idea.
00:37:18.000And liberty is on the ballot on November 5th.
