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'll 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 The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers.
00:01:09.000 Doesn't she look so beautiful, everybody?
00:01:13.000 I love you.
00:01:13.000 I love you.
00:01:14.000 This is special.
00:01:16.000 I was not anticipating this.
00:01:18.000 I thought we would just kind of walk out and they did the whole entrance things.
00:01:22.000 You guys that have waited this long, you're in for a real treat.
00:01:26.000 I asked him last night, I said, honey, what are we talking about tomorrow?
00:01:29.000 And he goes, I don't know, like family life, maybe about the election.
00:01:33.000 And I was like, you're lucky.
00:01:35.000 I don't need no cards.
00:01:36.000 He goes, I know that's why I married you.
00:01:39.000 Well, what a year it's been.
00:01:42.000 Wild.
00:01:44.000 In so many different ways.
00:01:46.000 Wild.
00:01:48.000 First of all, I have to say this without getting emotional, but I'm very proud of my husband.
00:01:52.000 And I know many of you are too.
00:01:58.000 I drink pride, but you have worked so hard.
00:02:03.000 And I know a lot of you have seen, obviously, his videos on TikTok and all the stuff he does on campus, but no one gets to see him from my angle except for myself and our children.
00:02:16.000 And the sacrifices that he made this year, he's amazing.
00:02:22.000 I'm very blessed.
00:02:23.000 And I would not have been able to do any of it without Erica.
00:02:25.000 And that's the real truth.
00:02:26.000 I'll tell you what.
00:02:28.000 Where I was going into battle, going into campuses, traveling the country, people that want us dead and they smear you and slander you.
00:02:38.000 And Erica is holding down the Ford at home.
00:02:41.000 And can you believe how good she looks?
00:02:42.000 She had a baby six months ago.
00:02:44.000 Can you believe that?
00:02:45.000 I mean, it's unbelievable.
00:02:48.000 And it's just, this year has been so trying and difficult in more ways than one.
00:02:55.000 You guys might remember a year ago, I gave a whole speech of here I am, Lord send me.
00:03:00.000 Does anyone remember that whole thing that we did?
00:03:02.000 Yeah.
00:03:03.000 And it was kind of this joke that we had.
00:03:05.000 As soon as I gave that message, we got so sick.
00:03:08.000 We didn't have Christmas.
00:03:10.000 Last Christmas, we had Domino's Pizza for Christmas.
00:03:12.000 Oh, yes, we did.
00:03:13.000 I remember him getting off stage and I say, honey, do you realize what you just did?
00:03:18.000 He's like, yeah, I just spoke.
00:03:19.000 And I was like, no, You said, here I am.
00:03:22.000 That is a very powerful statement.
00:03:25.000 And God's like, I see you.
00:03:27.000 And he just, I mean, it's been a wild year, but Charlie is so obedient to God, to the word of God.
00:03:37.000 And it's been so humbling to witness the way that God has used him this year because he made that declaration a year ago saying, here I am, I'm ready.
00:03:47.000 Wherever you need me to be, Lord, I'll be.
00:03:49.000 And I'm your servant.
00:03:50.000 And just put me out there in the thick of it.
00:03:53.000 And you did it.
00:03:54.000 And it's, but again, now I say, if you're going to stand on stage and say, here I am, make sure you tell me beforehand so I know what we're going up against so that we're prepared.
00:04:02.000 And we look back at this last year and we really left it all in the field.
00:04:08.000 And you guys saw that maybe on the video on election night where we did not even have words when they announced Donald Trump to become president of the United States.
00:04:17.000 And for us, it was very real.
00:04:19.000 It was very personal because who knows what our life would have looked like if Kamala Harris would have become president.
00:04:25.000 Who knows?
00:04:25.000 They would have come after Turning Point.
00:04:27.000 They would have come after us personally.
00:04:29.000 And so we just say glory to God.
00:04:31.000 And the lessons that we learned throughout this last year, you know, we welcomed our son to the world back in May.
00:04:40.000 And balancing that with two kids under two, Erica deserves every prize.
00:04:46.000 She's the Patriot of the Year award.
00:04:48.000 I'll tell you that.
00:04:49.000 That's the award she deserves.
00:04:51.000 And just kind of juggling it all and keeping the marriage strong and keeping that bedrock strong and still doing our best.
00:04:59.000 And we did a really good job.
00:05:00.000 I only, I think, I missed three Sabbaths this year, only three times when we did not do the full Shabbat, which I'm a big believer in, that all of you guys should honor a day for the Lord.
00:05:11.000 Turn off your phone.
00:05:12.000 It says it very clearly in the scriptures.
00:05:15.000 For six days you shall work, on the seventh day you shall rest.
00:05:19.000 And we do a really bad job of that as American Christians.
00:05:22.000 We do a horrible job of honoring the Sabbath.
00:05:25.000 In fact, the word in Hebrew literally means Shabbat, which means to stop, to cease all of activity.
00:05:31.000 And we should speak about how our family, I could be traveling for six days, but as long as we get one Sabbath, it makes up for all those six days.
00:05:42.000 No phones, no technology, just family inquiry.
00:05:46.000 Well, and it's quality over quantity.
00:05:48.000 And, you know, when Gigi sees you walk into the room, she just beelines for daddy.
00:05:54.000 But it's one of those things, too.
00:05:55.000 I mean, people have asked, like, how do you do it when Charlie's traveling and like all over the place?
00:06:00.000 It's because we understand our biblical roles in our marriage.
00:06:04.000 He is the head of the household, and I am not a servant.
00:06:09.000 I am not a slave to the master.
00:06:11.000 I am his helpmate.
00:06:13.000 I am the guardian of the home.
00:06:14.000 That is my domain.
00:06:16.000 And the enemy, and the enemy would love nothing more than that territory because those four walls are not just a home.
00:06:25.000 Those four walls are for when he comes home after battling and building.
00:06:30.000 And those four walls are the walls.
00:06:32.000 I mean, we're creating our child's childhood, which is so special.
00:06:36.000 But it's one of those things where we understand our roles.
00:06:40.000 And, you know, we ask each other every single day, how can I be praying for you?
00:06:46.000 Is there anything I can do for you to help make your day better?
00:06:49.000 And I always want to know, like, what do you need in order to, when you get home, take your shoes off, like an easy, soft landing pad for each other.
00:06:57.000 So it's just being a team and loving one another and knowing that you guys aren't against one another, but we're in the thick of it together.
00:07:06.000 Yeah, and then being able to go back into the war after that.
00:07:12.000 Hi, folks.
00:07:13.000 Andrew Colvett here.
00:07:14.000 I'd like to tell you about my friends over at YReFi.
00:07:17.000 You've probably been hearing me talk about YReFi for some time now.
00:07:20.000 We are all in with these guys.
00:07:23.000 If you or someone you know is struggling with private student loan debt, take my advice and give them a call.
00:07:29.000 Maybe you're behind on your payments.
00:07:31.000 Maybe you're even in default.
00:07:33.000 You don't have to live in this nightmare anymore.
00:07:35.000 Why ReFi will provide you a custom payment based on your ability to pay.
00:07:40.000 They tailor each loan individually.
00:07:42.000 They can save you thousands of dollars and you can get your life back.
00:07:46.000 We go to campuses all over America and we see student after student who's drowning in private student loan debt.
00:07:52.000 Many of them don't even know how much they owe.
00:07:55.000 WhyReFi can help.
00:07:56.000 Just go to YReFi.com.
00:07:58.000 That's the letter whythenrefi.com.
00:08:02.000 And remember, YReFi doesn't care what your credit score is.
00:08:05.000 Just go to whyRefi.com and tell them your friend Andrew sent you.
00:08:11.000 And I know what every guy is thinking in the audience.
00:08:14.000 How do I get a wife like Erica?
00:08:15.000 I know that's what you're all thinking.
00:08:17.000 And the answer is you don't deserve it and I don't deserve it.
00:08:19.000 It's by God's grace.
00:08:20.000 That's the answer.
00:08:22.000 But in all seriousness, you know, we get a lot of questions about dating and I'm sure a lot of people are wondering.
00:08:29.000 I mean, I have a lot of thoughts on this, but there's this question of how does the church, how does the conservative movement win back young women and bring women back into this idea of traditional practices and roles.
00:08:48.000 How should people think about that?
00:08:50.000 I mean, I feel like it should be a duty of the church to help teach Titus II to women to understand how to be a biblical woman in society.
00:09:00.000 I think it was Elizabeth Elliott that said, being a woman does not make me a better Christian or a certain Christian, but being a Christian makes me a very different woman.
00:09:12.000 And I think understanding, yes, your biblical role, but also like you're be the woman that your future husband deserves.
00:09:20.000 Like be the woman that, you know, God wants you to be.
00:09:24.000 You don't have to be out partying.
00:09:26.000 Don't, you know, be crazy thinking like I'm running out of time when your God is the author of time.
00:09:32.000 So just chill, you know, like you're going to find your human.
00:09:36.000 God knows your timing.
00:09:37.000 And I think that that's another thing right now that you see too.
00:09:40.000 You know, young men and women, you hear it all the time, like, where am I going to find my future spouse?
00:09:45.000 How do I find my future spouse?
00:09:46.000 Maybe at America Festival.
00:09:47.000 But maybe I know.
00:09:48.000 So you never know.
00:09:50.000 But it's, you know, it's one of those things where it's really important that you have to have an environment where it's conducive towards swimming in a stream of significance where you, you know, you're around people that are pouring into you, that are loving on you, that are a conducive environment for you to be the person that you need to be.
00:10:10.000 It's really important.
00:10:11.000 Yeah, and I mean, my advice to young men in particular is you need to stop acting like grown boys and infants and actually become men.
00:10:19.000 And that starts with, it is not attractive.
00:10:22.000 I mean, Erica can support this.
00:10:24.000 It's not attractive to women how much liquor you can drink or how many drugs you could do or how many women you've slept with.
00:10:32.000 I think it's actually not interesting at all.
00:10:35.000 It's the opposite.
00:10:36.000 It's, are you able to support the family and do difficult things and be able to bear an obligation to be able to do this very challenging thing called life?
00:10:46.000 And what we've done is we have created a condition where it's okay for men to kind of continue to stay in that infant stage.
00:10:56.000 And that goes for both men and women.
00:10:58.000 Women, you need to demand more out of men as well.
00:11:02.000 And men, you need to demand more out of yourself.
00:11:04.000 And I say this all the time, which is I ask the question, like, why are you drinking alcohol?
00:11:08.000 It makes me feel good.
00:11:09.000 Okay, that's a really stupid reason, actually.
00:11:11.000 I'm not saying if you want to drink, it's fine.
00:11:12.000 I'm not trying to be a legalist about it, but to actually give me a good reason.
00:11:15.000 Is it going to help you succeed?
00:11:16.000 Is it going to help you flourish?
00:11:17.000 It's going to help you thrive.
00:11:18.000 And the answer is this.
00:11:19.000 The highest performing people that you guys like at this conference are people that actually don't drink alcohol.
00:11:24.000 Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump.
00:11:27.000 They don't drink alcohol, actually.
00:11:28.000 And again, if you want to do it, fine, do it in moderation, be responsible and all that.
00:11:32.000 I don't drink.
00:11:33.000 Again, I'm not trying to say it's because it makes you better, but here's the thing.
00:11:37.000 Your mornings are easier, way easier to keep off weight, by the way.
00:11:40.000 And immediately you become more focused and a much more clear thinker about the problems in front of you.
00:11:48.000 And you never have to worry as if your mind and your being is going to be put in jeopardy by some substance you put into your body.
00:11:56.000 By the way, you'll save a ton of money as well, just so we're clear.
00:11:59.000 Like a ton of money.
00:12:00.000 People say, I'm broke.
00:12:02.000 Like, really, how much do you spend on liquor a week?
00:12:04.000 And the answer is probably a lot.
00:12:06.000 And going even deeper and beyond that, I think it's really important that we understand that the battle is between obviously your flesh and your inclination to try to do what you want to do whenever you want to do it.
00:12:17.000 But that is why God gave us the law.
00:12:19.000 And the law is a school teacher towards Christ.
00:12:22.000 Because look, if it was easy, then we wouldn't actually need the law.
00:12:25.000 You just kind of follow your flesh, follow your heart, do whatever you want to do.
00:12:27.000 No, you actually must restrain your impulses and restrain your desires.
00:12:32.000 And that is what actually marks a successful or person in pursuit of what is good, true, and beautiful.
00:12:38.000 Well, and on top of that, think about it.
00:12:40.000 If you, not just you, but if someone was drinking and totally inebriated and you got an emergency phone call at 3 a.m., like if someone really needs you that loves you, that's not good.
00:12:54.000 And basically, if you get super drunk, you're telling the world, I actually don't have that much important stuff going on.
00:12:59.000 That's basically what you're saying.
00:13:00.000 That actually, I don't matter other people that much.
00:13:02.000 But when you don't drink, you're like, I am willing to serve my neighbor, my friend, my spouse, my sister at any time.
00:13:12.000 Imagine being a young woman just finding out that you're pregnant, not knowing where to go or what to do, not even knowing exactly what is going on in your body.
00:13:20.000 While the whole world tells her it's just a clump of cells, you and I, we both know the truth.
00:13:26.000 We know it is a baby.
00:13:28.000 And once she has an ultrasound that you provide and she sees the truth of the baby growing inside of her, you help her choose life.
00:13:36.000 When you join us in providing ultrasounds with pre-born and she sees her baby and hears her baby's heartbeat, you will double the likelihood that she will choose life.
00:13:46.000 And 100% of what you give goes to providing ultrasounds, 100%.
00:13:51.000 Pre-born separately fundraises for administrative costs.
00:13:54.000 $280 can save 10 babies.
00:13:57.000 $28 a month can save a baby a month all year long.
00:14:00.000 And a $15,000 gift, I know there's some of you out there that can afford this, a $15,000 gift will provide a complete ultrasound machine that will save thousands of babies for years and years to come.
00:14:11.000 Call 833-850-2229 or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com today.
00:14:19.000 Again, that's 833-850-2229 or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com.
00:14:28.000 Well, and then I get this question all the time, and I want you to share with it.
00:14:33.000 You, you're a father now, obviously, but what advice can you give to young dads that are either about to have their first child or just had their first child?
00:14:45.000 What would you, I mean, we've been through all of that, but how, I mean, what would you say to help encourage them?
00:14:52.000 Well, I would say you need to understand the biblical role of the father.
00:14:55.000 Again, I'm still learning this.
00:14:56.000 I've only been at it, you know, for two and a half years.
00:14:59.000 But when it comes to your child, you are tasked to protect them both physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
00:15:06.000 And really outside the house and obviously in other ways as well.
00:15:10.000 Quality time is everything.
00:15:11.000 You're not above any of the duties or the tasks or the roles.
00:15:15.000 But you're also, you as a father and as the provider, you need to get your act together so much that your wife never has a financial pressure ever on the family.
00:15:26.000 And if you have not done that, then you got to get your act together.
00:15:29.000 And let me tell the men out there, you do not spend a dime on video games or sports games or things for yourself until your wife does not have to worry about finances.
00:15:39.000 You come last in the family when it comes to finances.
00:15:42.000 Period.
00:15:42.000 That is your job.
00:15:44.000 Your wife gets whatever she wants, whatever she wants.
00:15:46.000 The kids get whatever they want.
00:15:48.000 And I hear all the time, like, well, it's really hard to meet ends meet.
00:15:50.000 Like, let's go get a beer.
00:15:50.000 I'm like, you have no reason actually to do that.
00:15:52.000 Like, you are tasked with the provider.
00:15:54.000 Oh, you want all the benefits of being called the head of the household, but now the responsibilities are the obligations.
00:16:00.000 And it comes with a lot of responsibilities.
00:16:01.000 And so, again, I speak very directly to young men.
00:16:04.000 Erica's the young woman outreach part of this.
00:16:07.000 But young men need to be talked this way, actually, because they say, oh, I want to be a dad.
00:16:11.000 Like, really, are you earning enough money?
00:16:13.000 Have you done the right work?
00:16:14.000 Have you asked for a raise, asked for a promotion, got up earlier, stayed up later to make sure your family does not have any financial pressures or issues?
00:16:19.000 People say, oh, you know, it's not that easy.
00:16:21.000 I understand that.
00:16:22.000 But then you need to come last in everything, in the sense where I'm not going to spend money on myself until my family is able to not have that kind of financial pressure.
00:16:30.000 And guess what?
00:16:31.000 You as men are a lot tougher and a lot more productive and can work a lot harder than you think.
00:16:35.000 You can push yourself even harder.
00:16:37.000 You could do a double double.
00:16:38.000 You could do an all-nighter.
00:16:38.000 You can do the red-eye flight across the country.
00:16:40.000 You could push yourself to be able to provide for the family.
00:16:42.000 Because here's the one thing I have found.
00:16:44.000 Once you have kids, there is this primal thing that comes into you where if you think you have worked hard before, when you have to go feed a child and provide for a family, you are willing to go to the ends of the earth and push yourself in ways that you never thought possible.
00:16:57.000 And that is your initial and most important task as a father.
00:17:05.000 So last year I was here.
00:17:07.000 I am.
00:17:08.000 What is the word?
00:17:10.000 You haven't told me yet, so I'm like bracing myself.
00:17:12.000 What's a good word for 2025?
00:17:14.000 I mean, right now, my word is just thank you.
00:17:16.000 Honestly, thank you to God.
00:17:18.000 Thank you to our Creator for sparing us from this terror.
00:17:23.000 I don't have anything more profound than that, honestly.
00:17:26.000 I'm just still kind of in this constant state of gratitude.
00:17:29.000 And our posture before the election was the same as it is now.
00:17:33.000 In one sense, God, what is your will?
00:17:36.000 If your will is to see this country go into the judgment that we deserve, then we will praise you.
00:17:43.000 Exactly.
00:17:44.000 I don't know if you guys heard that or not, but as soon as I said judgment, some sort of oxygen tank exploded or something.
00:17:52.000 It's very cosmic.
00:17:56.000 And so, yeah, I mean, I just say thank you.
00:17:58.000 And look, I'm actually excited for off-election years because I love reading.
00:18:04.000 I love studying.
00:18:05.000 I can finally get back to my 100 books a year.
00:18:08.000 I kind of got off that this last year because I was just too busy reading the news and looking at polling and turnout data and precinct by precinct modeling.
00:18:16.000 You're still listening to Prager.
00:18:17.000 I was still listening to Prager.
00:18:18.000 By the way, can we all just say a prayer for Dennis Prager right now, an American hero?
00:18:23.000 I don't know if you guys know this or not, but Dennis is hospitalized in a very serious condition.
00:18:28.000 I can't say more than that, but Dennis is in a very serious circumstance right now and deserves our prayers that God might heal him and God might bring him back to this stage right here on America Fest at some point.
00:18:41.000 Because we need Dennis Prager in this country.
00:18:43.000 Dennis Prager is an American hero.
00:18:46.000 But you're right.
00:18:49.000 I continued listening to Dennis and Larry Ayrn.
00:18:52.000 That is for sure.
00:18:54.000 If you're a parent, you don't need to be told that online safety is important.
00:18:58.000 That's why TikTok has over 50 preset safety and privacy settings.
00:19:03.000 And beyond that, parents can set up family pairing to help shape their teens' experience on the app.
00:19:07.000 With family pairing, parents can get visibility into their teens followers and who they follow, help restrict content that's not right for them, and set screen time limits.
00:19:17.000 Parents can also set restricted times so they're not on TikTok when they shouldn't be.
00:19:22.000 Because feeling good about the time your teen spends online shouldn't come with guesswork.
00:19:26.000 In addition to the already built-in safety and privacy protections, family pairing gives parents more tools to shape their teens' online experience based on what's right for their family.
00:19:36.000 Remember, when safety comes first, discovery and creativity can follow.

00:21:05.000 And we get some that are like, thank you so much for having this.
00:21:09.000 And I look at him and I'm like, this is what it's all about.

00:21:14.000 That's so special.

00:21:15.000 But no, it's thank you.
00:21:17.000 It's a fun, it's a fun ministry.
00:21:18.000 And the ministry is growing.
00:21:20.000 And she also runs Proclaim Streetwear, which is the best Christian clothing line in the country.
00:21:25.000 They have a booth out there that you can support.
00:21:27.000 So she's an entrepreneur as much as anything else.
00:21:30.000 But I highly encourage you guys, Biblein365.com.
00:21:33.000 Tell them the story of how that kind of came to be.
00:21:36.000 In a very brief spark notes version, I started for the first time 2016.
00:21:42.000 I was like, you know what?
00:21:42.000 I need to read the Bible cover cover.
00:21:44.000 I never have before.
00:21:45.000 And I created a program and I was like, I don't know who's going to do it with me.
00:21:49.000 So I asked one of my friends, Jess, to join me.
00:21:51.000 And she was very sweet.
00:21:53.000 She was my accountability partner.
00:21:55.000 And every day we would check in, what did you learn today?
00:21:59.000 What did, you know, which commentary did you use for this?
00:22:02.000 And we just kept diving deeper.
00:22:04.000 And anyways, at the end of that, almost towards the end of that, unfortunately, my grandfather had passed away.
00:22:10.000 And that was a very, it was a very rough moment for me because I loved him so much.
00:22:17.000 And so once I read the full Bible in a year, I just prayed on, you know, God, what direction do you want to take this?
00:22:27.000 And long story short, I'm not going to get into the deep details of it, but that's when Proclaim was born.
00:22:32.000 That's when Jess and I decided we should invite a few more people.
00:22:35.000 So we just invited, you know, the handful people that are in our community and our friends.
00:22:39.000 And then it just grew from such a small little, and that's what's so beautiful is when you have those small little home groups or those little communities, accountability communities, and then have it watch grow from there is really, really special.
00:22:52.000 I mean, it's not me or anything.
00:22:53.000 It's all God's hand.
00:22:54.000 So I take no credit.
00:22:56.000 As we close here, any final messages for the attendees here, the pastors here on Faith Night?
00:23:03.000 That's tough because I feel like, and just like you, we have been given such a beautiful blessing on a platter, like on a silver platter.
00:23:12.000 And it's up to us to really just continue to build and be leaders and know that like we obviously were made for such a time as this, but truly just own it and be out there.
00:23:25.000 Be the hands and the feet.
00:23:26.000 Don't be afraid to talk about your faith.
00:23:29.000 Be bold.
00:23:29.000 Don't be afraid to say, yes, okay, you voted for Donald Trump, but more importantly, you're a Christian and you're here for a purpose.
00:23:37.000 And, like I say, like your role is to make heaven crowded.
00:23:40.000 That's why you're here.
00:23:41.000 We're just here recruiting.
00:23:43.000 I say that all the time, but your role is to make heaven crowded.
00:23:46.000 And so, just for some encouragement, thank you.
00:23:48.000 I mean, honestly, you guys being here is a huge testament.
00:23:51.000 But just thank you for supporting my husband and being there for him and all the members for the members only for Charlie's podcast.
00:23:58.000 Thank you for supporting that because behind the scenes, I get to see the team get so excited when new members sign up.
00:24:05.000 And just to be able to see your support for his podcast and for his radio show as a wife, I mean, I can't even put that into words.
