00:00:03.000 My name is Charlie Kirk.
00:00:05.000 I run the largest pro American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic.
00:00:11.000 My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth.
00:00:14.000 If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable.
00:00:19.000 But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful.
00:00:24.000 College is a scam, everybody.
00:00:26.000 You got to stop sending your kids to college.
00:00:27.000 You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
00:00:31.000 Go start a Turning Point USA college chapter.
00:00:33.000 Go start a Turning Point USA High School chapter.
00:00:35.000 Go find out how your church can get involved.
00:00:37.000 Sign up and become an activist.
00:00:39.000 I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.
00:00:41.000 Most important decision I ever made in my life.
00:00:43.000 And I encourage you to do the same.
00:00:45.000 Here I am.
00:00:46.000 Lord, use me.
00:00:48.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:49.000 Here we go.
00:00:56.000 Noble Gold Investments is the official gold sponsor of The Charlie Kirk Show, a company that specializes in gold IRAs and physical delivery of precious metals.
00:01:06.000 Learn how you could protect your wealth with Noble Gold Investments at NobleGoldInvestments.com.
00:01:13.000 That is NobleGoldInvestments.com.
00:01:17.000 And that's what Charlie Kirk does.
00:01:18.000 I want you to stand to your feet, put your hands together.
00:01:21.000 Let's give him a big welcome from American Faith.
00:01:24.000 All right.
00:01:31.000 Thank you, everybody.
00:01:32.000 Thank you.
00:01:33.000 Thank you.
00:01:35.000 Thank you.
00:01:35.000 Honor to be here.
00:01:36.000 And I just want to say you're supporting a very important cause tonight with American Faith.
00:01:41.000 I get these links.
00:01:42.000 There's Teresa.
00:01:42.000 She sends me the links from American Faith like every single day.
00:01:46.000 I think half of the web traffic comes from Teresa, I got to tell you.
00:01:50.000 Honor to be here.
00:01:52.000 That was a very beautiful presentation, wasn't it?
00:01:56.000 And I want you to think just for a second here.
00:01:59.000 I see my good friend Bill Frederick, who's doing some of the most important work in the country.
00:02:05.000 The people teaching your children think that display was ugly.
00:02:11.000 I want you to think about that.
00:02:13.000 You want to know why this country's divided?
00:02:16.000 Because the people running your colleges and high schools think what you just saw was inappropriate.
00:02:22.000 You know, it's inappropriate. 1.00
00:02:23.000 Drag queens in front of 12 year olds is inappropriate. 1.00
00:02:26.000 That's beautiful. 0.88
00:02:28.000 And, you know, someone just said, why?
00:02:30.000 How on earth could they think that's ugly?
00:02:32.000 Well, because they believe that that flag right there represents evil, colonialism.
00:02:37.000 Racism, misogyny.
00:02:38.000 If you don't believe it, come to one of these college campuses and I'll show it to you.
00:02:41.000 In fact, I recently did a visit at University of California, Davis, our mostly peaceful college campus visit, where they came with weapons and they tried to disrupt us.
00:02:50.000 And Riley Gaines, the great Riley Gaines, we hosted at a turning point event and they tried to hold her hostage and kidnap her.
00:02:58.000 And this is why what American faith is doing is so important because we're not debating policy anymore.
00:03:07.000 We're going to decide whether or not we want this country to continue to exist.
00:03:10.000 And I'm not being hyperbolic.
00:03:11.000 I'm not exaggerating.
00:03:13.000 It's the question of is this flag, our traditions, our customs, our history, worth continuing?
00:03:19.000 I believe a majority of Americans enthusiastically say yes.
00:03:23.000 But then what is the issue?
00:03:25.000 And this is really why what we're doing tonight is so important.
00:03:30.000 The issue is many things.
00:03:32.000 But if I had to simplify it, if I could wave a magic wand and fix one thing, it would be this I wish we had elites that loved the country.
00:03:42.000 That is what is so unbelievably unique about what we're living through: that this is a top-down revolution.
00:03:49.000 The people with the money, the wealth, the prestige, and the power are the ones crushing the normal people.
00:03:55.000 We've never lived through anything like this before.
00:03:58.000 You know, if you send your kid to government school, they'll hear that Andrew Carnegie and Rockefeller are the worst people ever, the Gilded Age.
00:04:05.000 They all had problems, we're all human beings, we're all flawed, but at least Carnegie and Mellon and Rockefeller loved the country that made them a lot of money.
00:04:14.000 These current oligarchs hate the country and they want to spend their resources and their money and their time and treasure to make it unrecognizable.
00:04:22.000 There's another unique thing that we're living through it's the first ever revolution where the people who want to assume control of the country hate the country they want to assume control of.
00:04:33.000 It's paradoxical. 0.50
00:04:35.000 We've never seen, and even the Bolsheviks said they loved Russia when they wanted to take over Russia from the Tsars. 0.95
00:04:41.000 It's, I think America's racist and awful and evil and homophobic, therefore give me power. 0.87
00:04:47.000 And that's largely insane because why should we give you power of the very idea and the very place that you say is bitter from the beginning? 0.95
00:04:58.000 Maybe you should leave that place if you hate it so much, not try to take it over.
00:05:03.000 But here's how you know we live in a great country America is such a great country that even those who say they hate it refuse to leave.
00:05:13.000 And they keep on wanting to bring more people in.
00:05:16.000 We do have a beautiful country.
00:05:17.000 And yeah, we're at the risk of losing it.
00:05:20.000 I'm a different type of speaker.
00:05:22.000 And in the sense I don't do hopium, I tell you the truth.
00:05:26.000 I'm not a fatalist, by the way, either.
00:05:28.000 So I don't believe that we're going to lose or win.
00:05:30.000 I'll get into this in a second.
00:05:31.000 Second, I tell you exactly how it's going.
00:05:33.000 And guess what?
00:05:33.000 We're losing.
00:05:35.000 We are losing.
00:05:36.000 American Faith is going to give us a chance to win.
00:05:38.000 Turning Point USA will give us a chance to win.
00:05:40.000 But the score is we're losing.
00:05:41.000 It's not insurmountable, but if we had a scoreboard, it's like, yeah, we're behind.
00:05:45.000 And let's talk about tonight how we can win that back because we can do some things measurably and in a real sizable way.
00:05:51.000 And one of the reasons why we're losing is because the American church has not done what it's needed to do over the last couple decades.
00:06:00.000 And God bless.
00:06:02.000 Influence Church and Jack Kibbs and so many of the other great leaders in this area, but they are rare. 0.99
00:06:08.000 A vast majority of the American Christian pastors are weak and they are cowards. 0.97
00:06:12.000 I'm sorry, I might get in trouble for talking like this. 0.99
00:06:15.000 Yeah, okay, well, very good. 0.99
00:06:16.000 They are cowards. 0.99
00:06:18.000 It's California, I can't get in trouble for that. 1.00
00:06:20.000 Well, let me prove it to you.
00:06:22.000 What percentage of pastors gave a sermon after the reversal of Roe versus Wade, thanking the Lord for his divine intervention into our land?
00:06:31.000 Less than 5% of American pastors even mentioned it from the pulpits.
00:06:35.000 Less than 5%.
00:06:37.000 I had a pastor recently ask me, Charlie, when is God going to intervene in the country?
00:06:40.000 I said, Oh, he has.
00:06:43.000 For my whole life, I was told Roe v. Wade would never be repealed.
00:06:46.000 I was told that it was the law of the land.
00:06:48.000 Don't even question it.
00:06:49.000 Don't think about it.
00:06:50.000 Don't pray about it.
00:06:50.000 Don't whisper about it.
00:06:52.000 And here, Roe v. Wade is repealed thanks to the prayers, the fasting, the activism of generations of Christians.
00:07:01.000 And God looks from the heavens, and most of his pastors say, Nah, I'm not interested.
00:07:06.000 Why should we expect God to act when we don't say thank you when He does?
00:07:14.000 It's worth thinking about, right?
00:07:17.000 In Jeremiah 29, 7, it says, Demand the welfare of the nation that you are in because your welfare is tied to your nation's welfare.
00:07:23.000 We are biblically commanded to care about the nation that we are in.
00:07:27.000 And America is not like any other nation.
00:07:29.000 Bill Fetter is the world's expert on this.
00:07:32.000 I'm going to do my poor man's version of it.
00:07:34.000 We are the only nation alongside Israel to be founded on eternal biblical truths.
00:07:39.000 55 out of 56 of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were Bible believing, church attending Christians.
00:07:45.000 We're a nation that understood the laws of nature and nature's God.
00:07:48.000 The end of the Declaration of Independence could be interpreted as a prayer to the divine, a prayer to the Lord, pleading for God to allow separation from tyranny.
00:07:59.000 So we have this special thing.
00:08:01.000 We call it America.
00:08:02.000 And it's more than just the country, it's our home.
00:08:05.000 And it's being bitterly destroyed by people who hate your values and hate your customs.
00:08:10.000 And I want to challenge. 0.83
00:08:11.000 A thing I hear far too often, and I don't know if anybody here believes it tonight, but if you do, I want to challenge it because it's very, very prevalent in Christian circles, which is this one liner, which is, Charlie, why can't things go back to the way they used to be?
00:08:30.000 That's not going to happen anytime soon, and that is an uncomfortable thing for people to hear.
00:08:37.000 It's going to take a lot of little victories over a long period of time.
00:08:41.000 They have been doing this for well over a hundred years.
00:08:45.000 The progressives have been working for quite some time.
00:08:47.000 Another thing I hear is Charlie, we want the same thing as the other side, we just have different ways of getting there.
00:08:53.000 I never want to hear that again.
00:08:55.000 The other side does not want what we want. 1.00
00:08:57.000 They think it's okay to have drag queens in schools. 0.95
00:09:00.000 We do not. 0.51
00:09:01.000 We believe that 5,000 illegal people crossing the southern border is wrong.
00:09:05.000 They think it's admirable and wonderful.
00:09:08.000 We believe that there is a God.
00:09:10.000 They believe they are God.
00:09:13.000 We believe that life begins at conception.
00:09:14.000 They believe that it's nothing more than a clump of cells that they can eliminate at any time.
00:09:18.000 We believe the Constitution is the greatest political document ever written.
00:09:21.000 They think the Constitution is bitter and racist and should be shredded and rewritten.
00:09:25.000 I never want to hear again that we want the same thing.
00:09:28.000 We want something the polar opposite of these people.
00:09:33.000 Therefore, let's stop negotiating, quote unquote, in good faith with these people.
00:09:39.000 We must defeat them.
00:09:42.000 Now, what does that look like?
00:09:44.000 It looks like a change of attitude that I know you guys have here tonight, American faith, but I'm here to remind you.
00:09:49.000 You know, sometimes people say, Charlie, why do you preach to the choir?
00:09:52.000 Because the choir forgot the melody over the last 30 years.
00:09:56.000 The choir needs to wake up and start fighting.
00:10:00.000 We've got to remind ourselves how do we beat these people?
00:10:02.000 It's a change of attitude.
00:10:04.000 The attitude is the same type of attitude that Winston Churchill said we're going to fight you in every sphere, man.
00:10:10.000 We're going to fight you in the schools.
00:10:11.000 We're going to fight you in the churches.
00:10:13.000 We're going to fight you on social media.
00:10:15.000 We're going to fight you wherever it takes.
00:10:17.000 What I mean by fight, I don't mean violent confrontation.
00:10:19.000 That's them.
00:10:19.000 They're coming after us violently.
00:10:21.000 I mean that we're going to prove you wrong.
00:10:22.000 We're going to increase our ranks.
00:10:23.000 We're going to recruit more people.
00:10:25.000 We're going to push more young people into our value system.
00:10:27.000 And we're not going to let up. 0.99
00:10:30.000 Every single hour of every single day.
00:10:32.000 And this is not for the faint of heart.
00:10:35.000 I'm dedicating the rest of my life to this fight.
00:10:37.000 I'm 29 years old, and I've seen my beautiful country in 11 years become unrecognizable.
00:10:42.000 And some of you say, Charlie, you think it was bad then?
00:10:45.000 I get it, okay?
00:10:46.000 So you just got to sign up and say, as long as the Lord gives me breath in my lungs, I'm going to do my duty.
00:10:52.000 I'm going to do my part.
00:10:54.000 I'm going to be obedient.
00:10:56.000 You are not expected to win it.
00:10:58.000 God will do that.
00:11:00.000 You're expected to be obedient.
00:11:02.000 It's a big difference.
00:11:04.000 Are you going to use as an act of worship to the divine that I'm going to do my part?
00:11:10.000 And everybody's going to be called to do a different part.
00:11:12.000 That is the parable of the talents.
00:11:13.000 If you're given a lot, then a lot's going to be expected out of you.
00:11:16.000 If you're getting a little, then do a little with a little and multiply it.
00:11:20.000 The Lord has blessed Turning Point USA significantly over the last decade.
00:11:25.000 If I would have had that mentality when we had nothing no money, no connections, no idea what I was doing I would have said, what's the point?
00:11:31.000 You know, this fight is too big, then the amazing movement that we've been blessed with of hundreds of thousands of young people and well over 1,600 high school and college chapters across the country never would have existed.
00:11:43.000 So we all have to do our part.
00:11:44.000 And who knows what the Lord's going to do with American faith?
00:11:46.000 Who knows what the Lord's going to do with the Lincoln Club?
00:11:48.000 Who knows?
00:11:49.000 You've got to serve, you've got to be obedient, you've got to get other people enlisted and involved.
00:11:54.000 So let me give you a couple pieces of hope because you need it.
00:11:57.000 I could tell.
00:12:00.000 Number one, Scoreboard, we're losing.
00:12:03.000 But what do we have that we have not yet utilized?
00:12:06.000 We actually outnumber the bad guys.
00:12:09.000 I refuse to believe a vast majority of Americans are okay with chemically castrating 11 year olds.
00:12:15.000 I refuse to believe that.
00:12:17.000 That is a radical fringe, alphabet mafia, rainbow jihadi belief where they believe they can go after our children in a groomer, pervert, freak way.
00:12:26.000 And we should say, you are not touching our kids any longer. 0.71
00:12:29.000 If there is a line, that is the line, everybody.
00:12:32.000 We're not going to put up with it.
00:12:35.000 And people.
00:12:36.000 People don't like it when I say, well, Charlie, you know, that's not very loving of you.
00:12:40.000 It's very interesting.
00:12:41.000 Psalm 97 10.
00:12:42.000 If you love God, you must hate evil.
00:12:46.000 If I were to give some very loving feedback to the American church, I think we're doing a great job serving coffee in our lobby of our churches.
00:12:53.000 We're doing a great job wearing skinny jeans and doing TED Talks.
00:12:57.000 We're doing a great job of building big buildings and filling them half empty, right?
00:13:01.000 Half filled.
00:13:02.000 We're doing a poor job as American Christians as hating evil right now.
00:13:06.000 We're doing a real bad job.
00:13:10.000 I want to talk to you about an issue so many Americans face, and that's health insurance.
00:13:16.000 There's an organization I really, really appreciate called Christian Healthcare Ministries.
00:13:21.000 CHM is a faith based alternative to health insurance.
00:13:25.000 And this is real stuff, folks.
00:13:27.000 Like, you got to listen in.
00:13:28.000 With CHM, you're not paying into a company's profit margin.
00:13:31.000 You're investing in a community with less overhead than the competition.
00:13:36.000 You get reliable support through the giving and prayer of fellow members.
00:13:40.000 Members contribute every month to help pay for each other's medical bills, allowing believers to afford the care they need.
00:13:46.000 Because they're not insurance, you get access to your preferred doctor or hospital without network restrictions.
00:13:52.000 You heard that right.
00:13:53.000 If you want to see massive savings in your healthcare budget, CHM. Has four low cost programs for every stage of life, starting at just a hundred and fifteen dollars a month.
00:14:02.000 Plus, you can enroll or switch your program at any time.
00:14:06.000 See why so many believers are taking a leap of faith.
00:14:09.000 Start today by visiting chministries.orgslash Charlie and use promo code Charlie for a fifty percent credit towards your first month.
00:14:18.000 That's chministries.orgslash Charlie and use promo code Charlie.
00:14:25.000 You are commanded as a love of you love God, you sing worship songs, then you should hate evil.
00:14:31.000 You don't have to overthink what is evil.
00:14:33.000 Jesus was very clear what happens when you go after kids.
00:14:36.000 The line's been drawn. 0.98
00:14:38.000 And yet, I feel as if Christians have a temperament that we need to change, an attitude we need to challenge, where they just say, I only do the gospel. 1.00
00:14:47.000 How many times have you heard that from one of the Wokies? 1.00
00:14:50.000 Right? 1.00
00:14:51.000 I only do the gospel.
00:14:53.000 Well, if you only do the gospel, how effective will you be sharing the gospel from prison? 1.00
00:14:59.000 I do what I do to make sure you can keep on doing what you do, Mr. Wokie Man, because they're coming after all of us. 1.00
00:15:05.000 Religious liberty under attack, religious conscience under attack, religious expression under attack. 1.00
00:15:09.000 The most important thing in the world that you could do is to get more people to believe in Jesus Christ.
00:15:16.000 The second most important thing is to make sure you could do the first thing.
00:15:21.000 And most pastors are uninterested in that.
00:15:23.000 What else do we have working for us?
00:15:24.000 The other side, they are the most unhappy, paranoid, frenetic, and neurotic winners in the history of politics.
00:15:33.000 These people are never happy.
00:15:36.000 And it's so interesting, right?
00:15:37.000 They've taken over everything.
00:15:38.000 They control the CIA, the FBI, Stanford, Harvard, Google, Goldman Sachs, Citibank, the 100 biggest corporations.
00:15:43.000 They control our schools, the California teacher unions, and yet they're relentlessly unhappy.
00:15:49.000 Maybe because they have a soul problem going on, maybe.
00:15:52.000 But let me tell you why.
00:15:54.000 I have hope.
00:15:55.000 A paranoid organization is not an organization that can hold on to power for a long time.
00:16:00.000 These people are constantly paranoid.
00:16:02.000 I know it because they've come after many people in this room that try to shut down your church and mask your congregation and force vaccines on you.
00:16:09.000 Where Gavin Newsom was really worried that a couple people were meeting here or there.
00:16:12.000 These people want total and complete conformity.
00:16:15.000 And because they're paranoid, they know that what they're doing is not going to last forever.
00:16:21.000 You see, everybody here tonight, we have two things in common.
00:16:23.000 We believe there is a God and we are not Him.
00:16:26.000 The left believes neither of those things.
00:16:29.000 They don't either believe there's a God.
00:16:30.000 If there was a God, they would be the God.
00:16:32.000 You see, if we look at the scoreboard and we say, okay, we're losing, what else can we do to try to increase our probability of victory?
00:16:39.000 The other thing that I know that they are counting on.
00:16:42.000 If you say, Charlie, what do they think their death shot is?
00:16:45.000 And I know this from their propaganda, from all of it.
00:16:48.000 It's very simple.
00:16:49.000 They will win if we do one thing, if we give up.
00:16:53.000 Everything they are trying to do is trying to invoke your surrender.
00:16:58.000 Their entire campaign is to try to tire you out.
00:17:02.000 I have people come up to me tonight, Charlie, I'm tired and worn down, aren't you?
00:17:05.000 Of course I am.
00:17:05.000 So what are you going to do about it?
00:17:07.000 Give up?
00:17:07.000 Complain?
00:17:09.000 The rest of your life, you're going to have to fight these people.
00:17:13.000 If that is not a message you like to hear, then you're living in Narnia.
00:17:19.000 The rest of your life, I'm ready, and you should be too.
00:17:23.000 And we're going to have fun because we have the truth on our side. 0.71
00:17:27.000 And we have a new generation of young people ready to scrap for every inch.
00:17:31.000 You know, the best thing about being surrounded is you can shoot in any direction.
00:17:37.000 You throw a rock on the highway, and I'll pick a woke corporation that we can go after.
00:17:42.000 Pick anyone. 0.99
00:17:43.000 I've got 16 of them, if I pass here exiting.
00:17:46.000 I've got nothing but terrain to take back or new businesses to start, new families to build, new churches to launch.
00:17:54.000 Stop thinking fatalistically.
00:17:56.000 Let's start thinking like entrepreneurs to build new, big, beautiful things.
00:18:00.000 That's how our founding fathers thought when it looked overwhelmingly tyrannical.
00:18:06.000 Yes, these are bad guys.
00:18:08.000 Yes, they control a lot.
00:18:10.000 They'll fight amongst themselves.
00:18:11.000 You heard me right.
00:18:12.000 They will fight amongst themselves.
00:18:13.000 Look what they're doing in the California Senate primary right now. 1.00
00:18:16.000 You got Katie Porter, who's like a monster, throws potatoes on people. 1.00
00:18:20.000 Is that her name? 1.00
00:18:21.000 Katie Porter, right? 0.80
00:18:22.000 She's a real gem.
00:18:23.000 And you got Adam Schiff.
00:18:25.000 And he got all these people.
00:18:26.000 He's like, wow.
00:18:27.000 And they're just fighting amongst themselves?
00:18:29.000 Let them.
00:18:29.000 It's like Game of Thrones, red wedding on repeat every day.
00:18:33.000 It's a Democrat primary.
00:18:33.000 It's really amazing.
00:18:35.000 It's only going to amplify.
00:18:36.000 We build.
00:18:37.000 They'll fight amongst themselves.
00:18:39.000 We build.
00:18:40.000 What does that mean?
00:18:41.000 More young people, more institutions, and yes, the place that we have to keep on coming home.
00:18:46.000 And I'm going to challenge some of you tonight. 0.99
00:18:49.000 If you go to a church that is being led by a coward, after you confront that coward and they continue to remain cowardly, leave. 0.99
00:19:00.000 That church. 1.00
00:19:01.000 Stop supporting cowardly churches. 0.99
00:19:05.000 Again, how do you know if you have a cowardly church? 0.93
00:19:07.000 The Roe versus Wade is one example. 0.95
00:19:09.000 Another example is Did your pastor mention in the last 30 days that there was a hate crime against Christians in Nashville perpetrated by somebody infected by the social contagion of trans ideology from the pit of hell? 0.99
00:19:20.000 If your pastor has not mentioned it, your pastor is a coward. 0.99
00:19:23.000 He might be a nice coward. 1.00
00:19:24.000 He might be a loving coward. 1.00
00:19:25.000 He might be an effective coward at preaching the gospel. 1.00
00:19:28.000 Stop supporting them. 0.94
00:19:29.000 It's wartime language right now, everybody.
00:19:31.000 This is Bonhoeffer Times.
00:19:35.000 I'll close with this.
00:19:35.000 I don't know how I'm doing on time, but I'll do a pastor's close.
00:19:38.000 So I got 45 minutes.
00:19:43.000 So I'll do a couple thoughts because supporting American faith is very, very important.
00:19:47.000 I mean that.
00:19:48.000 It's very important.
00:19:51.000 So, am I optimistic or am I pessimistic?
00:19:53.000 We're losing, right?
00:19:54.000 So, if I told you I was optimistic, you would go home and say, I don't got anything.
00:19:59.000 I have nothing to do.
00:20:01.000 Charlie said we're going to win.
00:20:03.000 If I said I was pessimistic, you'd go home and say, I got nothing to do.
00:20:06.000 Charlie said we're going to lose.
00:20:09.000 You see, the challenge of that question, and let me be very clear, I am eternally optimistic because the battle is already won.
00:20:16.000 Jesus will retake his throne eventually.
00:20:18.000 I'm talking more in the immediate, right?
00:20:22.000 The answer I think is we don't know.
00:20:25.000 And I think there's actually some excitement in that.
00:20:29.000 I actually think the thrill of the blessing the Lord has given us is the mystery of how this thing is going to end.
00:20:35.000 I do not like it when somebody comes up and they say, Charlie, you know, any day now the whole country will be taken back.
00:20:41.000 We have people that are going to arrest all these people in Washington, D.C., and they're going to go to get Mo.
00:20:45.000 And I'm like, you've got to read American Faith because I don't know what you are reading.
00:20:48.000 It's all, you've got to get off the message boards.
00:20:50.000 It's not true.
00:20:51.000 Not true at all.
00:20:52.000 Get off that.
00:20:53.000 Not true.
00:20:54.000 Or people say, Charlie, it's all over.
00:20:56.000 No chance.
00:20:58.000 We're all done.
00:20:59.000 Jesus is coming next Thursday, and I'm ready.
00:21:01.000 And I said, Are you sure it's not next Friday?
00:21:05.000 That's what I always say.
00:21:06.000 Now, by the way, if you believe that Jesus is coming next Thursday, let me just say this to all my wonderful Calvary friends out there.
00:21:13.000 I'm sorry, that's just where I get it the most.
00:21:15.000 Love you guys.
00:21:17.000 But Jack Hibbs agrees with me on this.
00:21:19.000 Do not allow your eschatology to be an excuse for inaction.
00:21:22.000 Do not believe your eschatology to be an excuse to not fight evil today.
00:21:27.000 Because you might be right, we might be in the end times, might be following.
00:21:30.000 Not my subject matter expertise, but do not allow that to all of a sudden say, I'm going to do nothing because I believe certain things are happening as history unfolds.
00:21:39.000 Instead, I think we're in the mystery of we don't know how this is going to immediately end.
00:21:44.000 And boy, what if this is a time where God is testing his flock to say, I gave you this beautiful thing founded on eternal principles and.
00:21:53.000 The forces of hell are infiltrating it.
00:21:57.000 What are you guys going to do?
00:21:59.000 You guys have more buildings, bigger budgets, more influence than ever before in my church.
00:22:04.000 What are you going to do about it?
00:22:06.000 And right now, the answer is I don't care. 1.00
00:22:09.000 Not you guys care, obviously, but most Christians don't. 0.98
00:22:13.000 If we double the amount of Christians that care about this, the whole game changes overnight. 0.99
00:22:17.000 Overnight.
00:22:18.000 If you double the amount of pastors speaking out about it, you know how I know this?
00:22:21.000 George Soros pumps tens of millions of dollars into the churches every year.
00:22:25.000 Trying to infect them with woke ideology, nonsense, leftism.
00:22:29.000 So, I don't know how this is going to end.
00:22:30.000 I just know the most important question for all of you tonight and for me.
00:22:33.000 I know what I'm going to do.
00:22:35.000 I'm going to keep on waking up early and doing three podcasts a day and three radio shows a day.
00:22:39.000 I'm going to keep on giving hundreds of speeches a year.
00:22:41.000 I'm going to keep on visiting college campuses so you don't have to.
00:22:44.000 I'm going to keep on hiring our staff and scaling on high school and college campuses.
00:22:48.000 Long story short, I'm going to keep on doing my role, my task to fight these people.
00:22:55.000 That's the answer.
00:23:00.000 Some of you are not convinced.
00:23:02.000 I can tell.
00:23:04.000 Arms crossed.
00:23:05.000 You're saying, Charlie, I've done everything that's been asked of me.
00:23:08.000 I watched Tucker Carlson.
00:23:11.000 I bought the pillow.
00:23:14.000 By the way, promo code Kirk at mypillow.com, just so we're clear.
00:23:18.000 I got relief factor.
00:23:20.000 I bought a lot of gold.
00:23:21.000 Charlie, I've done everything that's been asked of me.
00:23:27.000 Right, Teresa?
00:23:29.000 She's checked all the boxes.
00:23:31.000 Emergency preparedness, relief factor.
00:23:33.000 She's got it all.
00:23:34.000 10 out of 10.
00:23:38.000 Here's how you know if you're in the arena or if you're a spectator.
00:23:42.000 And as Teddy Roosevelt said, who is definitely a mixed bag, but I love Teddy Roosevelt in a lot of things, the man in the arena is what counts.
00:23:49.000 Here's how you know if you're in the arena or if you're a spectator.
00:23:53.000 If you have not lost something significant over the last year and a half because of your political beliefs, you're not in the arena.
00:23:58.000 It's that simple.
00:24:01.000 I had a pastor who came up to me once, he saw me in an airport.
00:24:04.000 And he said, Charlie, you know, you talk a lot about spiritual warfare because I believe everything is spiritual manifesting in the physical, right?
00:24:11.000 He says, I just don't feel that spiritual warfare.
00:24:13.000 I just don't.
00:24:14.000 He's like, and I said, well, are you taking a stand for the unborn? 1.00
00:24:16.000 Are you standing against transgenderism? 1.00
00:24:18.000 I said, no.
00:24:19.000 He said, yeah, Satan's not going to waste his time with you.
00:24:22.000 Like, you're not making a difference.
00:24:25.000 No, it's the pastors that are taking the boldest stands that have the most spiritual warfare and disruption in their ranks.
00:24:30.000 So look, support American faith.
00:24:32.000 I consider this to actually be a very hopeful time.
00:24:35.000 Because I get to be alive in a time where America's not dead yet.
00:24:40.000 I don't know how it's going to end.
00:24:42.000 I know how it started.
00:24:44.000 How this unbelievable group of men and women said, When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands that have tied them to another, deriving but the separate but equal station of powers, goes on to say, The laws of nature and nature is God.
00:24:58.000 A paragraph that changed the world, rooted in eternity, eternal truths.
00:25:02.000 That's just as true today as it is then.
00:25:05.000 That means it's true today.
00:25:07.000 It's a call for courage, a call for action.
00:25:10.000 And those were Christians who wanted to act.
00:25:13.000 Why not us?
00:25:15.000 I'm here to win.
00:25:16.000 I hope you guys are too.
00:25:17.000 God bless you guys.
00:25:18.000 Thanks so much.
