00:01:16.000 Thank you, everybody.

00:01:19.000 It's awesome to have you here.

00:01:20.000 So you were at Clemson last night.

00:01:23.000 That's right.

00:01:24.000 Clemson last night.

00:01:25.000 And I apologize, I'm casual, everybody.

00:01:27.000 This is a chance.

00:01:28.000 Yeah, we're good.

00:01:29.000 All right.

00:01:31.000 Thank you.

00:01:32.000 I appreciate that.

00:01:33.000 We're all forgiven.

00:01:34.000 And yeah, so I was at Clemson last night.

00:01:36.000 We're going to University of Alabama tomorrow, and we're on tour all across the country.

00:01:41.000 And then we'll be up very late tonight, kind of seeing what happens at the Virginia governor's race.

00:01:46.000 So if you guys want to tune into our live stream tonight, we'll be watching that.

00:01:50.000 And it should be a lot of fun, but honor to be here.

00:01:52.000 It's become kind of a passion of mine and Rob's, who's here tonight, my pastor.

00:01:58.000 Can we recognize him for just a second?

00:01:59.000 Pastor Rob McCoy, would you stand for a second?

00:02:02.000 That was quick.

00:02:04.000 He was like, he was right.

00:02:08.000 Actually, he should be up here instead of me.

00:02:08.000 Honor to have him.

00:02:10.000 No, he should be up there instead of me.

00:02:12.000 And so, no, he's my pastor, and he's really kind of guided me and Turning Point in trying to get more involved in trying to get the Christian community engaged in these issues and trying to contest for liberty, which is God's idea, not man's idea.

00:02:28.000 And it's really going to be incumbent on the American church to do something about that.

00:02:34.000 And so I'm just honored to be here tonight and discuss that.

00:02:36.000 Yeah.

00:02:37.000 For the longest time, Charlie, I was under the opinion that, and you kind of shared this earlier, that church and politics should kind of be separate.

00:02:45.000 What was it that kind of switched that for you?

00:02:49.000 And you said, no, I think it's supposed to be the same.

00:02:53.000 I grew up with the same belief.

00:02:54.000 And I went to a great Bible-believing church in the suburbs of Chicago.

00:02:57.000 I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.

00:03:00.000 And I'd always have a passion for the country and for the nation and the well-being of our fellow countrymen.

00:03:06.000 But I always felt that there was a tension, as if there was something contradictory between the two.

00:03:11.000 And it wasn't until I met Rob at an event in California.

00:03:16.000 He said, Charlie, I want you to reconsider this.

00:03:18.000 He said, you know, you're in the business of trying to set the captives free.

00:03:21.000 You are trying to talk about liberty.

00:03:23.000 And as I said earlier, liberty is not man's idea.

00:03:26.000 It's God's idea.

00:03:27.000 And Rob challenged me and he said, hey, Charlie, what do you make about Esther?

00:03:30.000 What do you make of Esther, Mordecai, Daniel, Nehemiah, Jeremiah, or Joseph?

00:03:35.000 Any of the figures that we deem in a positive light in the scriptures of people that were pursuing righteousness in secular government for God's purpose.

00:03:45.000 In Jeremiah 29, 7, one of my favorite scriptures, and it's also right before Jeremiah 29, 11, which is one of the most commonly quoted scriptures in the church.

00:03:54.000 But people don't always talk about Jeremiah 29, 7, which is the Lord speaking, which the Lord says, demand the welfare of the nation I have put you in, because your welfare is tied to your nation's welfare.

00:04:07.000 That's a commandment for us to care about our nation, to care about our country, to care about our city.

00:04:12.000 Daniel fasted and prayed for the well-being of the nation that he was in.

00:04:16.000 There are multiple instances of God's chosen people dwelling and praying and fasting over what was happening in the community and the nation around them.

00:04:26.000 And there are many different kind of churches and movements that have said, as I grew up in, said, you know, I don't want to deal with this.

00:04:33.000 And I want to be very clear that it is the easy road not to engage in these issues.

00:04:39.000 But I believe that now more than ever, the body of Christ and congregations like this have questions about this for good reason. 0.84

00:04:47.000 Like, hey, Pastor, you know, can you help clarify to me transgender bathrooms? 0.99

00:04:52.000 Did God create men and did God create women? 1.00

00:04:54.000 You know, if the pastor says, you know, we don't do that around here, then I believe that's a disservice to the flock.

00:05:00.000 And the Bible says many different things about the proper way to set up governments, the proper way that human beings should live.

00:05:09.000 And there are a couple issues that are non-controversial in this regard.

00:05:12.000 One in particular really kind of showed itself in the last year and a half, which is that the church needs to take a stand and say we will never be labeled non-essential again.

00:05:21.000 We will never allow the church to be shut down while drug dispensaries, alcohol shops, abortion factories, and strip clubs remain open and the body of Christ and the bride of Christ gets locked down by government order.

00:05:40.000 We're not going to put up with that.

00:05:41.000 It says, do not forsake the gathering of believers.

00:05:45.000 You know, watching church on a live stream is like watching a fireplace on a television screen.

00:05:50.000 You can see it, but there's no warmth.

00:05:52.000 And we can never.

00:05:53.000 Somebody write that down.

00:05:54.000 That was good.

00:05:55.000 Only use that.

00:05:56.000 That was awesome.

00:05:57.000 Wait till I tell you who I took it from.

00:05:58.000 And that's a rob line.

00:06:00.000 So, no, but we trade stuff all the time.

00:06:02.000 But I do want to make this point, though, which is that it says in Romans to love what is good and hate what is evil.

00:06:10.000 That we are commanded to really, and we have to be careful the way we do this.

00:06:15.000 But as the body of Christ, say to our congregation and the community, say, you know what, we're not okay with eight-year-olds being exposed to pornographic sexual education in our local schools.

00:06:27.000 Now, some churches say that's not our role.

00:06:29.000 We're not going to take, you know, stances on that.

00:06:31.000 I think that is a disservice.

00:06:33.000 We know the way that God made man and God made woman for each other.

00:06:37.000 And then if we're going to take no stances in the public sphere, I believe then all of a sudden we're the ones that all of a sudden say, hey, we have the truth, but in order to get the truth, you got to come within the confines of our church only between these hours.

00:06:48.000 We are called to be salt and light in every single corner of our nation and our community.

00:06:54.000 I am arguing for comprehensive Christianity, not compartmentalized Christianity.

00:06:59.000 And at this time, whether we like it or not.

00:07:01.000 So some people say, well, Charlie, what about separation of church and state, right?

00:07:05.000 Now, let's just go through that.

00:07:06.000 Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that term separation of church and state.

00:07:11.000 It's in a single letter that Thomas Jefferson wrote to the Danbury Baptist Convention, and it's taken wildly out of context.

00:07:17.000 It was then used by an activist Supreme Court justice in the 1960s as an awful interpretation of taking prayer out of schools.

00:07:26.000 And I think we can all agree, as soon as we took prayer out of schools, all of a sudden our nation started to stumble quite significantly. 0.98

00:07:32.000 But let's pretend it was right. 0.99

00:07:35.000 Let's pretend that there is a separation of church and state.

00:07:38.000 Well, then why don't we keep the state out of the church? 0.71

00:07:40.000 Then why don't we say that the state never is allowed to shut down the church?

00:07:44.000 What they've always been saying is it's a one-way separation, saying the church can't impact the state, but the state can come in and all of a sudden, according to certain leaders of a certain political party in our country, say, you know what?

00:07:55.000 We are now, and they're pushing this in legislation, which will never, it won't happen hopefully anytime soon.

00:08:00.000 We are going to say that if you're a pastor, you must conduct homosexual marriages, that we're going to tell you that you have to administer things that are against your deeply held religious beliefs.

00:08:11.000 Let me give you another example. 0.94

00:08:12.000 Telling Christian universities that they must vaccinate their students or lose certain privileges or that we are going to send police officers on campus. 0.86

00:08:22.000 I thought it's separation of church and state.

00:08:24.000 In reality, that has been broken a long time ago.

00:08:27.000 And what we need to realize is that this church and this country was founded by the church being active.

00:08:33.000 55 of 56 of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were Bible-believing, regular church-attending Christians.

00:08:40.000 Every time the church gets complacent, you see the country fall apart.

00:08:44.000 When the church gets active, you see a renewal and a revival and not a political one.

00:08:50.000 That's far less important as the most important thing, which is winning souls for Jesus Christ and spreading the gospel to a broken world that needs it.

00:08:59.000 And so some people are still kind of skeptical.

00:09:01.000 I was just at a church in Denver and we had 3,000 people show up.

00:09:05.000 They said, Charlie, I'm not bought and sold because what you're saying is that the most important thing is politics.

00:09:09.000 I say, I've never said that.

00:09:11.000 The most important thing, number one, is to win souls for Jesus Christ and to spread the good news that is the gospel.

00:09:18.000 Now, there's a second part to the sentence.

00:09:21.000 The second most important thing at a lower importance is what I'm focused on, which is to make sure you could do the first thing.

00:09:29.000 My job is to make sure you can keep on doing the first thing.

00:09:32.000 My job is to make sure that you can continue to share your values, to make sure that the church doesn't get locked down again, to make sure that, as they've done in China, they just banned the Bible app.

00:09:43.000 Now, people say, oh, Charlie, that will never happen here.

00:09:45.000 Do I need to go through the last 18 months as just kind of as a quick history month of things that will never happen here?

00:09:51.000 Locking down our nation, mask mandates, vaccine mandates, double standards, hypocrisy.

00:09:57.000 I think we've all seen things that we never thought would happen in our country happen in the last 18 months.

00:10:02.000 And we must understand this idea of liberty.

00:10:04.000 What is the source?

00:10:05.000 The source is the church and the gospel of Jesus Christ, and it's incumbent on us.

00:10:09.000 In fact, we are commanded to contest for this in every single arena possible.

00:10:16.000 But Charlie, the pushback that I'm sure you've never heard, so this will be completely brand new for you, is Charlie, Romans 13 says that we're supposed to be submissive to government authorities.

00:10:29.000 So when the government tells us to shut down, we've got to submit to the government.

00:10:35.000 I know that this is brand new.

00:10:36.000 You've never heard that?

00:10:37.000 Never heard that before, actually.

00:10:39.000 Just initial thoughts on that.

00:10:41.000 So I'm going to give you all a quick answer to that that I think will really kind of open some eyes because a lot of Christians are confronted with this.

00:10:50.000 It also says something similar in 1 Peter as well, which is the submit to all.

00:10:55.000 And I'm paraphrasing, but in Romans 13, it says to submit to all people in authority because God put them there for your good.

00:11:02.000 And a lot of pastors take that as an unquestioned kind of stand down order.

00:11:07.000 We can't do anything.

00:11:09.000 Now, here's a question is, well, who's actually the governing authority in America?

00:11:14.000 The people.

00:11:15.000 So who submits to who?

00:11:17.000 Is that the governor of South Carolina submits to you?

00:11:21.000 It's completely opposite.

00:11:23.000 Now, when Paul was writing that, when Nero was emperor, the sovereign was Nero.

00:11:29.000 The Roman Republic was over.

00:11:30.000 It was the Roman Empire.

00:11:32.000 It was a bloodline passing down of who was governor from Caesar Augustus to Tiberius to Caligula, who was a terrible emperor, to all the way down.

00:11:41.000 That was the way.

00:11:42.000 That was who made decisions, right?

00:11:43.000 The transfer of power happened after Julius Caesar, Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon, broke across the Roman triumphant, goes into Roman Civil War.

00:11:52.000 Caesar declares himself one year Caesar Emperor and became emperor for life.

00:11:56.000 And beware the tides of March, they kill him, etu brute.

00:12:00.000 You know the rest of the story.

00:12:01.000 And then all of a sudden, his cousin, Caesar Augustus, became emperor for life.

00:12:05.000 And that was the way Rome is governed for the next 500 years.

00:12:09.000 What happens in America is totally different.

00:12:11.000 We don't pick our leaders based on who your mom or dad is.

00:12:14.000 Our mission statement says we the people.

00:12:16.000 Therefore, if you read Romans 13, exactly what it says, God put people in authority because they are there for your good.

00:12:23.000 He put all of you in authority.

00:12:24.000 The natural rights that you have are put in and enshrined by the Constitution of the United States.

00:12:29.000 Therefore, the people who are in the state capitals, the people in Washington, D.C., they have to be submitting to you.

00:12:37.000 They have to understand that Romans 13 is written for the people in government, and you are the sovereign, and your rights come first.

00:12:45.000 And guess what?

00:12:46.000 Your rights come from God, not government.

00:12:48.000 So I would challenge and I would lovingly push back against some pastors that read that because from American constitutional civic context, the people are the sovereign.

00:12:57.000 The people in the Anthony Fauci or some governor of some state, they are there because we have given them the permission to be there.

00:13:07.000 And it's about time they start honoring that.

00:14:34.000 I wish he was a little bit more prepared for his answers.

00:14:38.000 Charlie, so when COVID was, when COVID was first announced, when they first said, you know, when I first heard of COVID, I thought it was going to be, you remember, SARS or something, like every two years, it seems like we have something, you know, swine flu, bird flu.

00:14:55.000 And it didn't seem like it was going to be a big deal.

00:14:57.000 But then all of a sudden, they start shutting down the NCAA tournament.

00:15:01.000 And so my question to you is, when COVID first started taking place, what were your thoughts?

00:15:10.000 And then at what point did you say, I think they're playing, play?

00:15:17.000 I mean, not that it's not serious, but I think they're playing people.

00:15:20.000 Well, and we have to realize that we were played on both sides.

00:15:23.000 And so I was actually one of the earlier people to take this seriously because our media didn't take it seriously for two months.

00:15:30.000 If you remember, there was kind of all this chatter on untrafficked websites, meaning like kind of the, you know, the place where, you know, information, you know, isn't allowed on Facebook anymore.

00:15:41.000 And you guys know what I'm talking about, you know, websites where it seems as if they're more right than wrong, you know, not the main institutional legacy media about this kind of bizarre cold pneumonia cough that's coming out of China.

00:15:53.000 And so I, it's real, you can go back and look at our podcast.

00:15:56.000 I was the only person that had an interview with Mike Pence that asked him about COVID in the entire month of January.

00:16:03.000 I had it, it was, I only got three questions to ask him for our podcast.

00:16:07.000 I was like, hey, by the way, what is this thing?

00:16:09.000 And he's like, oh, no, it's perfectly fine.

00:16:11.000 We got it under control. 0.85

00:16:12.000 You know, working with our Chinese counterparts. 0.96

00:16:13.000 And it's like, okay, fine, whatever.

00:16:15.000 And then you remember, Azar and Fauci came out and like, oh, no, we got this under control, nothing to worry about.

00:16:20.000 And so I was always kind of a little bit suspicious that there was something more to this story.

00:16:24.000 And, you know, I try to look at these things empirically.

00:16:28.000 I don't look at them pathologically, meaning I try not to get too caught up in the emotion or the feeling of things.

00:16:33.000 And then I started to research kind of more what we were dealing with, which is other countries were starting to experience big breakouts.

00:16:41.000 We really didn't have developed meaningful testing with this.

00:16:44.000 And I remember exactly where I was in late February, early March.

00:16:48.000 It was so funny.

00:16:49.000 I was actually thinking about this yesterday.

00:16:51.000 I was in South Carolina for part of this.

00:16:52.000 I just released my book, and it was like the worst time to release a book, right?

00:16:56.000 Right before the virus, but I beat up by like a week before people really took it seriously.

00:17:00.000 But I literally went from like New York to DC to Florida to Arizona, back to Florida to California.

00:17:06.000 I was all over the country.

00:17:06.000 I went to Charleston, South Carolina, and Denver.

00:17:08.000 And I remember being in Montana and something totally changed in the media.

00:17:12.000 You guys remember that?

00:17:12.000 It was like almost overnight.

00:17:14.000 It was like a directive on high.

00:17:15.000 And all of a sudden, it was like, okay, we went from this no big deal to all of a sudden like we're being invaded.

00:17:19.000 And then all of a sudden, something really bizarre happened.

00:17:23.000 And there was kind of this new ticker they had on cable television, like cases, deaths, hospitalization.

00:17:29.000 Like, well, that was fast.

00:17:30.000 You know, you alerted your graphics department really fast to kind of get that into gear.

00:17:35.000 And so I was really suspicious of kind of how that all unfolded and kind of all that happened.

00:17:40.000 And so then something happened that really bothered me was all of a sudden this term of a lockdown occurred.

00:17:46.000 And I was against the lockdown from the beginning, but I put up with it because I'm like, okay, we don't know what we're dealing with here.

00:17:52.000 Maybe that might be okay.

00:17:53.000 Because if this actually has a 30% mortality rate, then no one wants anything to be open.

00:17:58.000 But then around March 10th, and you could kind of trace back to my writings there, March 10th, March 15th of 2020.

00:17:58.000 Right.

00:18:04.000 I said, this lockdown is doing more harm than good.

00:18:08.000 We are causing a mental health crisis with our young people.

00:18:10.000 There's going to be a suicide epidemic, a drug epidemic, an alcohol epidemic.

00:18:14.000 We're persecuting the American church. 0.92

00:18:16.000 You're saying certain, like the virus won't spread at Home Depot or Walmart, but it's going to be a super spreader at church. 0.90

00:18:22.000 Like, you know, it made no sense to me.

00:18:25.000 And then I started to realize what we were actually dealing with.

00:18:28.000 And so, you know, Tucker Carlson is a hero in this story and a couple other people.

00:18:33.000 And I was kind of part of this community that looked at the Diamond Princess cruise.

00:18:38.000 You guys might remember this, you might not, but it was the most important piece of data that our leaders decided to ignore.

00:18:44.000 And guess what?

00:18:44.000 Everything we learned from that cruise is just as true today.

00:18:48.000 So you might say, well, Charlie, what was the cruise?

00:18:49.000 It was this really interesting test case where the cruise went two weeks off of the coast.

00:18:54.000 I think it was of California in the Pacific and COVID was spread.

00:18:58.000 And almost, you know, exactly as it spread, half the ship was just naturally immune and didn't get it.

00:19:05.000 Half the ship did.

00:19:07.000 And then a certain percentage required intensive treatment.

00:19:10.000 And just around 1.2% of people over the age of 65 ended up dying.

00:19:15.000 And a much smaller percentage of people, it was like exact, if you were to scale that for the rest of the country, by the way, these were people that were not given the same sort of treatments that we've now become aware of, right?

00:19:26.000 And so I said, wait a second, if this cruise ship, which is a more senior population, if we're dealing with, you know, 0.8 to 1.2 with bad treatment, I said, you scale that.

00:19:35.000 That does not justify the lockdown of the American economy and plunging people into poverty and destroying small businesses.

00:19:42.000 So I came out really aggressively against the lockdown after that.

00:19:45.000 And we took a big risk and just kind of putting on my empirical scientific hat, I said, if this is true, which is the most perfect lab, it's the most ideal lab experiment you could imagine, right?

00:19:55.000 It's a self-contained ship in the middle of the ocean, right?

00:19:58.000 You can't, you can't, and everything we learned from that actually ended up being true.

00:20:01.000 And then, so then I got a call from my friend from South Korea. 0.99

00:20:05.000 And he said, Charlie, you Americans are handling this all wrong.

00:20:08.000 He said, I said, why?

00:20:09.000 He said, you have to go look at anti-malarials.

00:20:12.000 And I said, what are you talking about?

00:20:14.000 He said, you've got to go look at hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin.

00:20:17.000 He said, these things are having a lot of success.

00:20:19.000 I remember calling the White House, telling them about this.

00:20:22.000 And there was a massive propaganda campaign.

00:20:25.000 I wasn't the only one that was doing it.

00:20:26.000 It spread really quickly.

00:20:27.000 Mass propaganda campaign against these sort of alternative treatments.

00:20:31.000 And so then April and May of 2020 came along.

00:20:34.000 I said, wait a second, America's still locked down.

00:20:36.000 Like, what's really going on here?

00:20:38.000 Right.

00:20:38.000 And we saw all of a sudden, you know, we started to realize that we were trying to kill a mouse with a missile and that the cure could be worse than the disease itself.

00:20:48.000 Now, let me be very clear.

00:20:49.000 I'm not saying that it's not something you should worry about.

00:20:51.000 I've never held that position.

00:20:52.000 In fact, early on, I think that our response was too slow.

00:20:55.000 But instead of going quick to mass inoculation, I've always been perplexed at how there's been a mass propaganda campaign preventing you from learning about azithromycin, hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, monoclonal antibodies, and aspirin.

00:21:10.000 It has been one of the greatest injustices of my entire lifetime, to be perfectly honest.

00:21:14.000 Now, it might not be for you.

00:21:16.000 It might not be something you want to pursue, but the fact that most people have never been able to be aware of these alternative treatments was something that was awful.

00:21:24.000 And so to answer your question, early on, then around April or May, I became an anti-lockdown crusader.

00:21:29.000 I traveled the country with anti-lockdown measures.

00:21:33.000 I saw the damaging effects it was having on young people, the lowering of education standards, what it was doing to dehumanize people by mandating masks on five and six year olds, which I maintain is child abuse to mask a child.

00:21:45.000 I do.

00:21:46.000 It's terrible and it should not happen.

00:21:48.000 And so, yeah, I continue to be an anti-lockdown person because I take this position.

00:21:53.000 The way we handled this was imprudent.

00:21:56.000 The way we should have handled it is, hey, here's what we're dealing with based on the data. 1.00

00:21:59.000 If you're over 65, you should take this very seriously. 0.74

00:22:02.000 If you have underlying health conditions, you should take this very seriously. 0.75

00:22:05.000 But treating every single American demographic as precisely the same would be trying to do the metaphorical kill a mouse with a missile, as I mentioned.

00:22:14.000 And we continued onward with this as if every person was equally at risk of dying and getting severe hospitalizations from this virus.

00:22:21.000 And even worse, I have to say, as we continued, we started to all of a sudden see how the virus was really being used to reshape American life.

00:22:29.000 And this is when I started.

00:22:30.000 And regardless of your opinion of this, we can all agree it was used to change our voting laws.

00:22:35.000 It was used to change our addiction to social media and technology to massively vaccinate American society to keep us locked down, to bail out blue states, all these sorts of different things.

00:22:45.000 Like, okay, it's one thing to say that we want to protect our seniors and our most vulnerable.

00:22:49.000 What does that have to do with all of a sudden have mass mail-in voting in the state of Georgia exactly?

00:22:54.000 And they used it as an opportunity to unfortunately bring in a pre-existing political agenda. 0.57

00:23:00.000 And so I think there's a lot of lessons to learn from this, everybody, but I would encourage all of you to go back early.

00:23:06.000 The people that were signaling caution with the lockdowns tend to have been right about a lot throughout this entire thing.

00:23:13.000 I'm not saying that we've been right.

00:23:14.000 We've been wrong plenty.

00:23:15.000 But there tends to be this kind of rhythm where when you turn off your television, you start to look at things around you and look at people that have no vested interest in vaccinating your four-year-old.

00:23:27.000 They tend to be right about a lot at this current time.

00:23:30.000 So I encourage everyone to kind of break out of the simulation and find other news sources, especially, you know, in American society today.

00:23:38.000 Download it.

00:23:41.000 You got a podcast or something like that.

00:23:45.000 I do.

00:23:45.000 Yes.

00:23:46.000 Something.

00:23:47.000 We're going to plug that.

00:23:48.000 I could plug that now.

00:23:49.000 Yeah.

00:23:49.000 You can do it.

00:23:50.000 Thank you.

00:23:50.000 We do two podcasts a day.

00:23:52.000 Anyone listening to the podcast here?

00:23:53.000 God bless you guys.

00:23:54.000 Thank you.

00:23:55.000 Thank you.

00:23:56.000 That's very enthusiastic.

00:23:57.000 Thank you.

00:23:59.000 We'll plug this once or twice throughout the evening.

00:24:01.000 Everyone has a smartphone.

00:24:02.000 You guys can subscribe.

00:24:04.000 It would bless us a lot.

00:24:05.000 We're under constant threat of cancellation by these big companies.

00:24:08.000 In order to subscribe on Apple, you have to hit like a plus in the upper right-hand corner.

00:24:11.000 They made it super complicated.

00:24:13.000 But if you don't know how to subscribe to a podcast, I saw an 11-year-old around here somewhere that'd be more than happy to guide you through how to subscribe to a podcast.

00:24:20.000 I personally subscribe to four podcasts, only four, and you're one of the four, man, because you guys, I mean, two podcasts a day.

00:24:28.000 I can't do one a month.

00:24:30.000 It's crazy.

00:24:31.000 So I want to play a game of like word associations.

00:24:34.000 I'll just say a word or two and you just tell me what pops in your mind.

00:24:38.000 This will be so fun.

00:24:39.000 All right.

00:24:40.000 Boy, here we go.

00:24:41.000 Vaccine mandates.

00:24:43.000 Unethical.

00:24:45.000 It's only one word, right?

00:24:46.000 No, You can.

00:24:48.000 You can go.

00:24:48.000 Okay.

00:24:49.000 Unethical, immoral, evil, unconstitutional.

00:24:58.000 Unconstitutional.

00:25:00.000 Rip on that for a second.

00:25:01.000 Yeah, it should be.

00:25:02.000 I mean, let me.

00:25:02.000 No, I agree.

00:25:03.000 I agree.

00:25:04.000 Yeah, and the courts go their own direction on this.

00:25:07.000 But I encourage y'all, we did a whole podcast on this where there is a Supreme Court decision in early 1900s called Jacobson v. Massachusetts, which really kind of set the precedent for vaccine mandates in our country. 0.93

00:25:21.000 And that very same Supreme Court decision, Jacobson v. Massachusetts, was used by Justice Louis Brandeis in the 1920s as an excuse to sterilize 67,000 women that were deemed as idiot women.

00:25:35.000 Just to give you an idea of how that certain constitution, that Supreme Court decision has been used in a rather unethical way.

00:25:44.000 I believe very firmly that every American, regardless of kind of where you are, should be given medical and religious exemptions to vaccines.

00:25:53.000 That inherently breaks the whole idea of a vaccine mandate.

00:25:56.000 So some people say, Charlie, this vaccine, why don't you complain about measle mumps rubella vaccines, right?

00:26:03.000 That's a common thought that people say.

00:26:05.000 Charlie, we mandate that for our kids at school.

00:26:07.000 Why are you against this vaccine?

00:26:08.000 I'll give you three reasons why.

00:26:09.000 Number one, this vaccine by all independent metrics was rushed to the market.

00:26:14.000 It was not given the same sort of trial, the same sort of independent testing.

00:26:18.000 That's not to say there wasn't any, okay?

00:26:20.000 But in relation to most vaccines that are widespread with children, this was at an accelerated pace, the likes of which we've never seen.

00:26:27.000 Number two, if you try to get a religious exemption for measles, mumps, and rubella, you will likely be approved.

00:26:34.000 Religious exemptions get approved all the time for childhood vaccines, especially, I don't know, in South Carolina, but out west in Idaho and Arizona, they will give out vaccine exemptions all the time.

00:26:45.000 Number three, when it comes to this, with kind of the question of measle mumps rubella, there's nowhere near the adverse events that are starting to pop up to the MMR vaccines that we are seeing to the current vaccines.

00:26:58.000 I encourage all of you to do your own research.

00:27:00.000 Again, I'm not anti-vax.

00:27:01.000 If you got vaccinated, that's your own medical decision.

00:27:03.000 You should be able to make your own medical decision.

00:27:05.000 I'm not here to tell you any different.

00:27:07.000 And you shouldn't come attack me for not wanting to get this vaccine.

00:27:11.000 Everyone is different in the capacity of making their own medical decisions.

00:27:14.000 Find a doctor that you believe has the right motives for you and make that decision privately.

00:27:19.000 That's the way we used to do medicine in our country.

00:27:21.000 But the third thing is this, is that if you look at the adverse events, it should be a timeout.

00:27:25.000 The vaccine adverse event reporting system, which is VARES, VARES.gov, has an unusual spike in vaccine adverse events, in myocarditis, in heart-related issues.

00:27:36.000 Everyone can go look at it yourself.

00:27:38.000 Some people say that's underreported.

00:27:40.000 You could go do your own independent research.

00:27:42.000 I know in my own personal circle, though, plenty of people that have adverse events to this vaccine, people that have had paralyzed from the waist down, people that have had a lot of unfortunate things, heart issues.

00:27:54.000 Even I know one person whose mom dropped dead after getting it.

00:27:57.000 I'm not trying to scare you. 0.95

00:27:58.000 I'm not trying to fear monger.

00:27:59.000 That's not what I do.

00:28:00.000 It's just a factual thing.

00:28:02.000 But here's where it comes down to is the force, right?

00:28:05.000 Which is that if you think this is in your best interest, which there is some evidence to show that if you're over the age of 65, this vaccine can be an effective treatment in lowering your chance of dying.

00:28:16.000 That is true.

00:28:16.000 There is some data to show that if you weigh in the possible costs associated with it, but the question is, why all of a sudden, if it's a vaccine that prevents you from getting it, do you want to force other people to get it so you can't get it?

00:28:30.000 You need to have other people vaccinated, protect you from your own vaccinated status.

00:28:34.000 That's kind of weird, isn't it?

00:28:35.000 Like, I need to go vaccinate other people to prevent me from getting something the vaccine's supposed to prevent me, right?

00:28:41.000 But in reality, and this is important, is that the way they're describing it is that it's more like a treatment than it is a vaccine.

00:28:50.000 Now, if that's the case, then all of a sudden we should be allowed to come to the table and say, okay, we've been trying to talk about treatments that you guys have been covering up for quite some time.

00:28:59.000 Like vitamin D.

00:29:00.000 A lot of people that die from COVID have vitamin D deficiencies.

00:29:04.000 You guys can solve that by going to CVS or Walgreens rather cheaply, by the way.

00:29:08.000 Azithromycin, a ZPAC, super cheap.

00:29:10.000 We talk about ivermectin, talking about hydroxychloroquine.

00:29:12.000 We just helped a fellow pastor friend of mine.

00:29:14.000 I'm not at liberty to say who yet.

00:29:16.000 We are going to tell the story.

00:29:17.000 Someone that had some underlying health conditions.

00:29:19.000 He said, Charlie, what do I do?

00:29:21.000 And I said, I'm going to get you to a monoclonal antibody treatment center.

00:29:24.000 He had no idea that they even existed because every person in his friend network said, go to the hospital.

00:29:29.000 And not every hospital has access to monoclonals, but there was a doctor.

00:29:33.000 If you guys don't know what monoclonal antibodies is, that's okay.

00:29:35.000 It's otherwise known as regeneron, which is white blood cell treatment of people that previously had COVID, and it could help significantly.

00:29:42.000 I could go through ozone therapy or just basic aspirin.

00:29:46.000 Go tonight, go look at the Johns Hopkins story study done on NIH.gov.

00:29:51.000 It's published.

00:29:52.000 It was totally covered up.

00:29:53.000 Just type in aspirin COVID-19 hospitalizations.

00:29:56.000 Everyone here has been exposed to aspirin in one way or the other.

00:29:59.000 It's a miracle drug.

00:30:00.000 Now, like all things in life, if you take too much aspirin, you could bleed out.

00:30:03.000 Okay, we all know that.

00:30:04.000 But for some people, aspirin has been a miracle drug that has prevented blood clots and allowed you to go back to normal life, right?

00:30:10.000 It's also incredibly cheap, right?

00:30:13.000 I just want to say, aspirin is super cheap to make.

00:30:15.000 I mean, it's cents on the dollar to make a pill of aspirin versus a vial of a vaccine.

00:30:21.000 Study that shows that taking a dose of aspirin once you get the virus could lower your chance of being hospitalized between 40 to 60 percent.

00:30:29.000 That's pretty significant.

00:30:31.000 That's worth talking about.

00:30:32.000 And I kid you not, look up then after that the date of the FDA and CDC coming out saying, I saying that aspirin might, we need to rethink America's addiction to aspirin that 30 million Americans, mostly seniors, use as a way to prevent blood clots.

00:30:47.000 Like that's an awfully suspicious time to come out with a war on aspirin.

00:30:51.000 So what I'm just trying to do with this conversation, I'm not here to tell you what to do with your medical decisions.

00:30:55.000 I never have, but I feel it's important because not everyone is actually in the weeds as much as I have on this stuff.

00:31:02.000 And traveling the country, meeting lots of different people, seeing these things, I feel it's a moral imperative just to share with you what I'm seeing.

00:31:09.000 And you guys can make the best decisions you see fit.

00:31:12.000 And I have personally been able to help dozens of people that otherwise would have gone straight to a hospital be able to successfully navigate COVID from with people with COPD, people in their late 80s, people that have underlying health conditions, people that are 500 to 600 pounds.

00:31:27.000 And I'm not saying that I have all the answers by any means, but I am saying, dwelling over this for hours a day, I think that sharing this with you guys so you have the information to be able to deal with this, information is important and the truth will set you free.

00:31:46.000 You want to do a few more and then you want to do some QA at the end?

00:31:49.000 Sure.

00:31:49.000 Yeah, that's great.

00:31:50.000 Okay, we'll set up for that in a second.

00:31:51.000 I just got a couple more word associations.

00:31:54.000 I forgot.

00:31:55.000 That was a one-hour word association.

00:31:57.000 Listen, it's the easiest thing I've ever done.

00:31:59.000 I just say a couple words and you go.

00:32:01.000 I just want to say that I forgot to say this earlier.

00:32:01.000 And I just know that.

00:32:05.000 Just you openly saying that you didn't take these issues or you didn't do the politics thing previously and doing it now.

00:32:12.000 That's a courageous thing.

00:32:13.000 And you deserve a lot of credit for that, truly.

00:32:15.000 I wish more pastors had that.

00:32:18.000 I really want to say that.

00:32:22.000 Well, you and Pastor Rob had a big part in that.

00:32:26.000 You just, neither one of you would shut up about it for two years.

00:32:29.000 So I've either had to unsubscribe or just left with two choices.

00:32:35.000 I know, I know.

00:32:36.000 I can't unsubscribe.

00:32:37.000 So here's an easy one.

00:32:39.000 This one's easy.

00:32:40.000 It'll be Anthony Fauci.

00:32:45.000 Criminal. 1.00

00:32:53.000 Duplicitous, treacherous, double-minded. 0.99

00:32:57.000 Look, I don't say this lightly.

00:32:59.000 What he has done to damage the American society is more than any person that's never been elected to public office that has done damage to our country than I can think of in our lifetime.

00:33:08.000 No one ever voted to this guy.

00:33:10.000 He has had a huge, massive damaging effect on the American way of life, specifically children in childhood development and schools and education.

00:33:20.000 Necessary baseless fear-mongering.

00:33:22.000 Now he's pushing.

00:33:23.000 This is what's so amazing: he says, well, and he says in his raspy voice, we need to vaccinate children to prevent them because they have a low risk of dying from COVID, to have a low risk of dying from COVID.

00:33:34.000 It's like, it's like, wait a second, I thought they have a low risk.

00:33:36.000 So you want to introduce now 50 million vaccine vials to make someone have a, it doesn't make any sense at all.

00:33:44.000 And you actually look at the numbers of children risk of dying from COVID.

00:33:49.000 It's incredibly low, everybody.

00:33:51.000 I mean, just so you know, that if a child rode in a car here to this church, they are 20 times more likely to die in the car ride to this event than from COVID, just to know what you're dealing with, right?

00:34:03.000 And then Fauci lied under oath on May 11th of this last year of where this virus came from and the gain of function research associated with it.

00:34:11.000 And look, he also is kind of a creature of the administrative state, right?

00:34:16.000 Which is this unelected, unknown, kind of unaccountable power source in our country that is completely extra-constitutional.

00:34:25.000 In some sense, we did not vote for that, right?

00:34:28.000 We did not go to the polls and say, we want to give all this power to some public health bureaucrat.

00:34:33.000 And it's everything the founding fathers tried to warn against, which is for those kind of significant decisions, keep them local or at state levels, not going into the federal government in some sort of sense where he controls tens of billions of dollars of public health money to distribute as he sees fit.

00:34:50.000 And so I'm happy to do more word association with that.

00:34:54.000 And I will say this.

00:34:56.000 I hope Anthony Fauci finds the Lord.

00:34:58.000 I really do.

00:34:59.000 Because I think that would dramatically make him reconsider him trying to play God.

00:35:08.000 He is the most, how do I word this?

00:35:12.000 It is the most kind of, it's the best fit, I should say, of the archetype of someone trying to play God here on this earth.

00:35:19.000 He's as close as I've seen in my lifetime of someone that rejects the two things we all believe, that there is a God and we are not him.

00:35:28.000 I don't think he acknowledges those things.

00:35:30.000 I don't.

00:35:31.000 Everything he's trying to do is micromanagement, is mad scientist play, is manipulation.

00:35:37.000 And so this is what's so important about finding out where this virus actually came from and his involvement in it, is that the virus was not an act of God.

00:35:46.000 It was someone trying to play God that created the virus.

00:35:49.000 Think about that.

00:35:51.000 And we know it came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

00:35:54.000 Anyone who tells you different is just fooling you.

00:35:56.000 And therefore, it wasn't that it just came from some bat from the Himalayan mountains.

00:36:01.000 No, this was someone that was engaging in the same sort of treacherous, unbiblical behavior of Genesis 11, of someone that was trying to build a superstructure to challenge God himself, the Tower of Babel.

00:36:13.000 And God was so offended by this, he scattered the nations and the people of that tower into total confusion of the languages across the earth. 0.76

00:36:21.000 That sort of principle of you're going to try to challenge my authority, I'm going to sow confusion and chaos as a result of that.

00:36:29.000 And do not challenge God.

00:36:30.000 It does not work well for you.

00:36:32.000 But Fauci does not even recognize that.

00:36:34.000 He doesn't even recognize the sovereignty of God.

00:36:36.000 In fact, he tries to play God himself.

00:36:39.000 And Dwight D. Eisenhower, who I believe is one of the greatest American presidents that gets almost no credit for it, in his farewell address, many people know that in his farewell address, he mentioned that we should be wary of a military industrial complex.

00:36:52.000 But what most people don't know is that the full statement is he said, we must be wary of an unelected, unaccountable scientific and technological elite that will run our country into the ground, given the proper checks and balances that our founding fathers gave us.

00:37:07.000 That's a pretty amazing statement from a man who won a world war in two theaters against existential evil and served eight years as a president, someone who loved the Lord, by the way, and grew up in very humble beginnings.

00:37:18.000 And I think we need to heed that warning from Dwight D. Eisenhower of what happens when we allow people in the scientific and technological elite to run our lives.

00:37:29.000 I want to tell you guys about Good Ranchers, okay?

00:39:40.000 Tonight, when this event is over, you're going to be doing election coverage for, now, if you would have told me or anybody in this room, you know, a month ago that you like there's going to be an election in Virginia that's literally going to captivate a lot of a lot of, like, it's going to matter to a lot of people.

00:40:04.000 I would have thought you were crazy.

00:40:06.000 But tonight, why does that election matter so much?

00:40:09.000 You and me both.

00:40:10.000 I mean, I, you know, we wanted to find a place to speak on this night because we kind of had a free night between speaking at Clemson and Alabama because we had a team meeting and we said, hey, are we going to be doing election live coverage?

00:40:22.000 I said, ah, the Virginia race, he'll lose by like eight points.

00:40:25.000 Like we might do a little thing where it's now like, as soon as we're done, I'm heading into the office.

00:40:29.000 We're going straight into the live stream to millions of viewers tonight.

00:40:33.000 But you guys matter more than that.

00:40:34.000 So we're postponing that just so you guys all know because I always want to make good on my commitments to have these events.

00:40:40.000 Nothing bothers me more is when people, you know, I'm going to be there and they don't.

00:40:43.000 It just drives me nuts.

00:40:44.000 So that can wait.

00:40:45.000 And that's going to go probably till 2 a.m. or 3 a.m. knowing kind of all the nonsense out of Fairfax County.

00:40:49.000 But it's really an important question, which is, I think, one of the reasons why the church is starting to rise up.

00:40:54.000 So in Proverbs 11, 11, it's one of the verses that I think speaks very clearly to kind of why we need to care about our government and our leaders around us.

00:41:03.000 And I'm paraphrasing, but it's this contrast proverb of which a lot of proverbs are, which is that when the upright rule, you know, the righteousness prevail, but when the wicked rule, you know, people either scowl or complain.

00:41:16.000 I can't remember the exact word that it, the word that is used.

00:41:19.000 But also another proverb is, you know, set straight a child in its ways, right?

00:41:24.000 And again, I'm paraphrasing the essence of the proverb, but education is something that we as Christians are commanded to get involved in.

00:41:32.000 Well, the reason why this race in Virginia has all of a sudden went from a comfortable blue state to now a legitimate battleground state is because all of a sudden, from a 10-point margin, plus what happened in Loudoun County, Virginia, and what happened in the schools and school boards across the country has changed the American political dynamic in a profound way.

00:41:56.000 And here's what happened.

00:41:58.000 In Virginia, Democrats would win by eight points, 10 points statewide.

00:42:01.000 We don't know what's going to happen tonight, but it's looking very good for the Republican challenger, where all of a sudden in Loudoun County, Virginia, you started to see rumblings of moms and dads starting to show up to school board meetings and care about their children's education.

00:42:14.000 Now, education comes from a Latin word, which means to lead forth the truth, right?

00:42:19.000 So we are commanded to lead our children forth into truth and goodness and God willing a relationship with our creator and Jesus Christ.

00:42:27.000 But when you start to all of a sudden send your children to school and they get exposed to critical race theory or diversity, equity, inclusion, or pornographic, and I do not use that word lightly, if you look at this curriculum, it will take your breath away.

00:42:41.000 Pornographic sexual education for eight-year-olds, Christians should rise up and say, wait a second, I have a big problem with this.

00:42:47.000 So in Loudoun County, Virginia, this is when it started to hit kind of a climax. 0.55

00:42:52.000 A father went to the Loudoun County, Virginia school board meeting in late May and was screaming.

00:42:58.000 And he was, some people say, oh, he was out of line, but he had a message to deliver.

00:43:02.000 And I want every father here to tell me that you would handle this differently when I tell you this entire story.

00:43:08.000 He was arrested by the police for disorderly conduct at the school board meeting.

00:43:12.000 Now, apparently, it was so disorderly that the National School Board Association of America labeled him a domestic terrorist.

00:43:19.000 And then the attorney general of our country then said, oh, okay, we're going to use the FBI and the Patriot Act to go after dads like him.

00:43:26.000 But why was he screaming at this meeting?

00:43:28.000 Well, he finally got to tell his story here in October.

00:43:31.000 And I think he, honestly, I think he conveniently waited to tell his story for political purposes.

00:43:37.000 I honestly did.

00:43:38.000 I think that someone said, hey, wait a couple months because you're about to drop a bombshell on the entire regime. 0.86

00:43:43.000 Well, that father has a ninth grade daughter who was in a bathroom, and that ninth grade daughter was raped by a transgender student of a young man who thinks he was a woman who was accommodated to be able to use that bathroom. 0.81

00:43:57.000 They were debating transgender bathrooms that night at the school board meeting. 0.92

00:44:01.000 And he wanted to tell his story about how his daughter was raped at the high school, and they weren't telling the story.

00:44:09.000 Superintendent has the father arrested.

00:44:11.000 Then he goes under oath at the school board meeting.

00:44:14.000 The Dr. Ziegler head of the school board and says, we have no instances of rapes or any sexual assault, lying under oath, even though he sent a private email admitting to that.

00:44:24.000 Oh, the story gets worse. 0.57

00:44:25.000 So then the school board met privately and they transferred the rapist from one school to another school where he raped another girl.

00:44:36.000 And now you add on to that the thousands of people that were already showing up to the Loudoun County school board meetings, complaining about curriculum, complaining about the sex ed, complaining about mask mandates.

00:44:46.000 And all of a sudden, you had an inter-institutional collusion where they were more worried, everybody, about some political, correct, abstract transgender agenda than the well-being of your daughters.

00:44:59.000 So I'm going to ask that question again.

00:45:01.000 For the fathers out there, if that would have happened to your daughter, do you think you would have been a little disorderly at that meeting if they're trying to all of a sudden protect transgender bathrooms? 0.54

00:45:10.000 I'm surprised he restrained himself as well as he did, and no one would tell his story.

00:45:14.000 And so all of a sudden, this father went from the disorderly dad to all of a sudden the martyr whose daughter was raped and the school board covered it up.

00:45:22.000 Well, all this happened in the midst of a Virginia governor's race.

00:45:24.000 Virginia's wacky.

00:45:25.000 They do their elections in odd years, you know, 17, 21, 25.

00:45:30.000 And it's also kind of a weird year because every governor is only allowed to serve one non-consecutive term.

00:45:36.000 One term, you can't run for reelection, right?

00:45:38.000 It's the way it works in Virginia.

00:45:40.000 Terry McAuliffe, the Clinton operative, was up 10 points in the polls, raising money from everyone.

00:45:45.000 Obama, Harris, Biden.

00:45:47.000 It didn't even look like a race.

00:45:49.000 Then all of a sudden, Yunkin decided to ignore his Republican consultants and go on a campaign representing these parents that were talking about real issues.

00:45:57.000 And you know what's amazing?

00:45:58.000 Is that these were parents that voted for Biden?

00:46:01.000 These are parents that were Democrats.

00:46:03.000 These are parents that hated Donald Trump and said on the news, I hate Donald Trump, but I don't care.

00:46:08.000 This is so much more important than politics.

00:46:11.000 And like a storm, I'm telling you, and this is happening in real time, the results are coming.

00:46:15.000 All of a sudden, Virginia went from a comfortable blue state where the recent polls had him up eight points, up three points.

00:46:20.000 And here's how the political wins have changed everybody.

00:46:23.000 All of a sudden, all of this kind of abstract kind of march for justice, social justice stuff, it's all fun and games till they come for your children.

00:46:32.000 It's all fun and games till all of a sudden your seven-year-old has to go sit through some sort of kind of seminar saying that, you know, your six-year-old is a racist because of the color of their skin.

00:46:43.000 You're like, excuse me?

00:46:44.000 Like, I was all for kind of like Black Lives Matter until that started to happen.

00:46:49.000 Or all of a sudden, where I kid you not, hundreds of girls in the Loudoun County school system are holding it every day, not going to the restroom in fear of being raped by the men that also share the restroom.

00:46:59.000 Yeah, that's the real life implications of this stuff.

00:47:02.000 And so, for those of us that have kind of been involved in this for a couple of years, in some ways, you know, we've been waiting for this kind of parent rebellion to happen.

00:47:11.000 And it's an unfortunate, sad, and tragic thing that it happened to happen in this way.

00:47:15.000 But here's the importance, everybody, is that you have to always be on your guard against nice-sounding sound bites of tolerance and equity inclusion, because they can have real life implications, real life implications that can harm your children and your communities.

00:47:29.000 And we as Christians need to be wise, right?

00:47:31.000 James 1:5, which is to pray for wisdom and God will give it to you generously and say, Yeah, you know, that sticker and that soundbite sounds good, but is that actually going to do what you say it's going to do?

00:47:41.000 Or is that going to result in all of a sudden girls becoming targets for predators in the Loudoun County schools? 1.00

00:47:46.000 Is that going to create a mini generation of racists and have seven-year-olds care more about the color of their skin than actually the character of their fellow classmates?

00:47:54.000 And so, and here's the thing they never expected: they never expected it to have a political cost.

00:47:59.000 They thought it would just be moms and dads complaining.

00:48:01.000 No, no, no, no.

00:48:02.000 Loudoun County, if for the Virginia governor's race goes for Yonkin tonight, it'll be because of moms and dads who drew the line and they say, we are not going to take it anymore.

00:48:15.000 The reason, I think for me, the reason that story stood out to me so much is I have a 14-year-old daughter in the ninth grade.

00:48:27.000 And if that happens to her, I become like the Apostle Paul and start a prison ministry.

00:48:35.000 Don't think I'll make it to the school board.

00:48:38.000 So, Rob, do you have an announcement?

00:48:40.000 32% of the 45% being Republican.

00:48:48.000 And we got to manage our expectations.

00:48:50.000 It's going to be trickling in.

00:48:53.000 And I think a lot of fathers share that view, which is you touch my daughter that way, and it's worse than that.

00:48:59.000 And by the way, his anger wasn't even directed at the rapist. 0.92

00:49:01.000 That rapist should go to jail. 1.00

00:49:02.000 No, it's the enablers. 0.98

00:49:04.000 It's the enablers of the people that put up with that.

00:49:07.000 And that's where all of a sudden it's rage-inducing because this was so preventable, right?

00:49:12.000 And then you're going to arrest him for showing up at the meeting, for trying to prevent that from other girls.

00:49:17.000 And guess what? 0.99

00:49:18.000 Because they arrested him, another girl got raped. 0.91

00:49:20.000 I want you to think about that.

00:49:21.000 If he would have been allowed to testify at that meeting, it probably would have just been like a stoppage and that wouldn't have happened to another family.

00:49:29.000 Which blows my mind because I've always said, I've always said, if I'm at a restaurant or I'm at a department store and my wife and my daughter are in the bathroom and a dude comes walking up and says, you know, like Shania Twain, I feel like a woman.

00:49:44.000 I'm like, you're not, it's not a hate thing.

00:49:47.000 It's not a personal thing.

00:49:48.000 You're just not going in that bathroom.

00:49:51.000 Amen.

00:49:52.000 You're not going.

00:49:53.000 And we as men have to start to be willing to encounter all the bad names they're going to call us to protect women we care about, to protect young girls from being preyed on by these kind of mentally deranged people that go after them.

00:50:08.000 I don't use that word lightly.

00:50:09.000 I hope they get help.

00:50:10.000 I hope they get counseling, but it is a significant mental disorder to have gender dysphoria.

00:50:15.000 And, you know, some people say, Charlie, that's not loving.

00:50:17.000 No, I think it's very loving to tell the truth.

00:50:20.000 And I'm not going to try to do it in a bombastic way.

00:50:22.000 I'm not going to try to, you know, but I'm not also, I'm also honestly, I'm kind of over this entire thing that I kind of have to pander to your current feelings when innocent people's lives and livelihoods are at risk.

00:50:32.000 Like, I'm kind of over that, to be honest with you.

00:50:41.000 I've got one more question.

00:50:43.000 I know that we're going to do QA, but you're on the stage and I get to ask you questions and I may never have this opportunity again.

00:50:50.000 So I need to know from your, because every morning I get up and I look at like seven or eight different websites, seven or eight different websites.

00:51:00.000 For the past two or three weeks, CNN.com has featured an article about January the 6th.

00:51:09.000 A lot of chatter on that.

00:51:11.000 So why?

00:51:12.000 Because I watched that and it's, I didn't think it was a good thing.

00:51:16.000 I thought it was a horrible thing. 1.00

00:51:17.000 But at the end of the day, it looked at the time when I was watching, I'm like, it looks like a bunch of idiots running around taking selfies in the Capitol. 1.00

00:51:24.000 And they got it cleared. 0.98

00:51:26.000 And now my question to you is why do people need it to be, quote, the greatest terrorist event that has happened in our country since the War of 1812?

00:51:39.000 Yeah.

00:51:40.000 And that's the language they're using.

00:51:41.000 And so I denounced it on air as we were doing our broadcast.

00:51:44.000 I remember.

00:51:45.000 And so if anyone, you know, people say, Charlie, where were you?

00:51:48.000 I was literally doing my show in Phoenix denouncing it.

00:51:51.000 I have four hours of footage to tell you exactly where I was.

00:51:54.000 I don't like the idea of storming the Capitol on the left or the right.

00:51:58.000 I'm not a fan of that.

00:51:59.000 I said that at the time.

00:52:00.000 Do I think that people that did that should be treated any differently than the same sort of citations that other protesters get for that?

00:52:07.000 They're getting solitary confinement for going into the Capitol and taking a selfie and being treated like Timothy McVay.

00:52:07.000 Of course not.

00:52:13.000 It's disgusting.

00:52:14.000 And then they were able to insert into the narrative that it was deadly, right?

00:52:19.000 Well, the only deaths that happened were either afterwards of non-related issues, like Officer Brian Sicknick, who did not die from some sort of fire extinguisher to the head.

00:52:30.000 That's a complete and total lie, or Ashley Babbitt, who was killed by a Capitol police officer who actually shot her for being unarmed in the Capitol.

00:52:39.000 And then they said, oh, it was an armed insurrection.

00:52:41.000 They did not find one person that walked into the Capitol that was actually armed at the time, not one person.

00:52:47.000 And there is an open question about this.

00:52:49.000 And I say this again with the proper pretext that I did not support the actual entrance into the Capitol of the role of agitators actually as this happened.

00:53:00.000 And there is more and more evidence, suspicious evidence to show that there might have been federal informants and agitators that were cheering on the actual entrance of people going into the Capitol.

00:53:09.000 And I encourage all of you to look at some of the research that's been done on this and kind of all the kind of the proper context behind it.

00:53:15.000 Now, I'm going to answer your question because I'm not a politician.

00:53:18.000 I actually answer questions, which is why do they need this to continue?

00:53:24.000 Well, it's very simple.

00:53:25.000 It's that they're bringing the war on terror home, is that they want a new war of domestic surveillance against people that do not share their political beliefs.

00:53:35.000 They want to beat the drums of war against people that supported President Trump, people that are of more of a Christian religious belief.

00:53:44.000 And that is going to be kind of their new overemphasis and focus.

00:53:48.000 I'm sure none of you heard about all the climate activists that stormed the Department of Interior three weeks ago.

00:53:53.000 You guys hear about that?

00:53:54.000 Probably not.

00:53:56.000 Where hundreds of climate activists stormed their way into a federal building and insurrection.

00:54:01.000 No one even talked about it.

00:54:02.000 No, instead, what happened there and what they're trying to do is they're trying to justify a new Patriot Act 2.0 to spy on all of you, to spy on your text messages and then control you and then micromanage you.

00:54:16.000 But I have to say, it's not working, though.

00:54:18.000 It's not.

00:54:19.000 Right.

00:54:20.000 Because they thought that kind of our energy and our focus to retake the country peacefully would stop after January 6th.

00:54:29.000 They thought it would be kind of this quelling effect and it would be a chilling effect.

00:54:33.000 Instead, we started showing up at school board meetings across the country in record numbers and making a significant impact.

00:54:39.000 And let me tell you that the Department of Justice's letter saying that we are going to use the means of the federal government to go after moms and dads that show up at school board meetings is evidence to that fact.

00:54:51.000 So make no mistake, the same way they needed the narrative to justify the invasion of Iraq of the weapons of mass destruction is the same sort of reason they need to keep the drumbeat going to say, you know what we need?

00:55:03.000 We need a new division of the Department of Homeland Security against violent right-wing extremism.

00:55:08.000 That's what they're going to say.

00:55:09.000 We need new agents that are hired just for right-wing extremism.

00:55:13.000 And I've said this before.

00:55:15.000 I've denounced violence at our events.

00:55:17.000 I do not support it.

00:55:18.000 I believe that actually being violent plays into their own ambitions to create a broader security state.

00:55:25.000 I believe that that's not who we are, nor should it be who we are.

00:55:28.000 And I understand that some people say, Charlie, I'm so mad at all of this stuff.

00:55:32.000 Then look, what does the Bible say?

00:55:33.000 That self-control is a fruit of the spirit.

00:55:35.000 Pray for some, right?

00:55:36.000 That they are worried that we are going to actually be able to have peaceful ways to retake the country.

00:55:43.000 And that in some ways, I think they're trying to provoke us into something other than that.

00:55:46.000 But to answer your question directly, this narrative is precious to them.

00:55:50.000 It's precious to them because they want to keep it going to try to justify something that they would not be able to usher in otherwise, which is a mass leviathan that will criminalize half the country, that will criminalize half the country no different than ISIS or al-Qaeda or Osama bin Laden.

00:56:07.000 They're using precisely the same type of language, that people that walked into the Capitol building and took a selfie is somehow a moral equivalent to al-Baghdadi or Osama bin Laden.

00:56:20.000 Like, give me a break.

00:56:21.000 Are you serious?

00:56:22.000 Like, that's where we're at.

00:56:25.000 And then just to kind of add it more, just kind of about exactly what happened that day, the actual penetration of the outer fence of the Capitol, which was nothing.

00:56:34.000 It was like a bike rack.

00:56:35.000 It started while the president was still speaking.

00:56:38.000 I just, you have to all know the timeline of this does not add up with their own account, right?

00:56:42.000 Like, oh, the president incited it.

00:56:43.000 No, if you look at the actual chain of events, a mile and a half away, the president was still speaking while the bike racks were being kicked over.

00:56:50.000 And then it's kind of this weird double unfolding of what happened that day, and which is that the bike racks were toppled over.

00:56:56.000 And then all of the Trump supporters then stopped and did not enter the Capitol.

00:57:01.000 They were there kind of on that Capitol kind of kind of where they do the inauguration.

00:57:05.000 And there were prayers happening.

00:57:07.000 And it was just kind of a de-escalation.

00:57:09.000 And then inexplicably, and we've never gotten an answer on this, all of a sudden the police started launching tear gas on that crowd, almost re-agitating it and reanimating the crowd.

00:57:18.000 And then all of a sudden from that point forward, then people started to walk into the Capitol.

00:57:22.000 And so I encourage everyone just to take a pause.

00:57:25.000 If you're not convinced by anything I just said, here's what you will be convinced by, which is that what happened on those days, you do not have to support the violence, which you shouldn't, and support what happened that day, but also saying it is wrong to use the security apparatus of America to criminalize people that have different political beliefs than you.

00:57:42.000 It would be wrong if we did it with people on the left.

00:57:44.000 It'd be wrong if all of a sudden you say, you know what? 0.76

00:57:46.000 We need to use the FBI to go after atheists. 0.94

00:57:48.000 No, that's wrong. 0.55

00:57:49.000 That's wrong, regardless of your political beliefs.

00:57:51.000 And it's especially wrong right now.

00:58:01.000 The use of your vocabulary is unreal.

00:58:05.000 Like I'm sitting here going, I could never speak like this, even if I rehearsed.

00:58:09.000 And he's just flowing like a rapper.

00:58:12.000 It's pretty amazing.

00:58:14.000 Thank you.

00:58:15.000 I've actually never been convinced.

00:58:16.000 You are the political equivalent of 50 Cent.

00:58:18.000 So just know that.

00:58:19.000 Thank you.

00:58:20.000 Yeah, but you've never heard that ever.

00:58:22.000 That's new.

00:58:23.000 I have to say that's good.

00:58:24.000 Good.

00:58:24.000 We want to be known for something.

00:58:27.000 Did you know that if you shop at Nike, they turn around and give your hard-earned dollars to pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and the Population Council.

00:58:35.000 Sinister folks, by the way.

00:58:36.000 Did you know that Airbnb gave $500,000 to the Marxist BLM incorporated organization? 0.60

01:00:55.000 We'll run a mic to you.

01:00:56.000 That's the easiest way to do it.

01:00:57.000 So just let's do that.

01:00:57.000 Okay.

01:00:58.000 We'll do floating mics.

01:00:59.000 It's easier than the line because this is much easier.

01:01:02.000 Yeah.

01:01:05.000 My mom was murdered due to COVID protocol back in August and due remdesivir poisoning.

01:01:12.000 So are you sharing that information?

01:01:14.000 I know Dr. Brian Artis is heavily involved and I've been speaking alongside of him and just sharing that experience.

01:01:22.000 So just go.

01:01:23.000 Yes.

01:01:24.000 And so I want to make sure everyone knows the difference between Regeneron and Remdesivir.

01:01:29.000 I always mispronounce it.

01:01:30.000 I think you pronounced it right.

01:01:31.000 Rendesivir is extremely expensive, awful on the kidneys, and has adverse events like you wouldn't believe.

01:01:36.000 And we are covering it and we're getting lots of different pieces of feedback where people say, Charlie, they are just generously throwing Rendesivir at patients that otherwise, you know, would qualify for other requirements.

01:01:51.000 I want to encourage you, though, please keep telling your story about your mom.

01:01:54.000 That firsthand testimonies of what's happening at this time is incredibly important.

01:01:59.000 So what was your name again?

01:02:01.000 Courtney, I just want to say I'm so sorry for your loss.

01:02:04.000 And these numbers are mounting.

01:02:05.000 You're not alone.

01:02:07.000 A lot of people say, Charlie, I dropped my dad off at the hospital and I asked them to do these five things and they put him on a ventilator and I don't know what happened after that.

01:02:16.000 Now, I am not attacking our frontline workers.

01:02:20.000 I think that there's protocol, which is, I think, the right way to go after it.

01:02:23.000 That's from the top down, that is handcuffing our nurses and our people on the front lines to not do even what they know is best.

01:02:30.000 And so I want to encourage you to keep speaking out.

01:02:32.000 And I'm very sorry for your laws.

01:02:37.000 Hey, Charlie, I'm a student at Anderson.

01:02:40.000 And one of the things that my professors and peers often rail on America for is income inequality.

01:02:46.000 And I wondered if you could kind of speak to that.

01:02:49.000 So what school you go to again?

01:02:49.000 Yes.

01:02:50.000 Anderson.

01:02:51.000 It's like 10 minutes away.

01:02:52.000 Right down the street.

01:02:53.000 So yeah, this is an important issue and topic.

01:02:55.000 And I don't think that those of us who are conservatives should be afraid to talk about this issue.

01:03:00.000 And so as we kind of tell the world what we believe and why we believe it, we obviously believe markets is the best way to organize society.

01:03:08.000 But when all of a sudden we start to have externalities that we don't agree with or trends that we don't support, we don't have to all of a sudden become cheerleaders for those trends or those externalities.

01:03:18.000 Now, I would argue, though, that some of these trends are a byproduct of not market principles, but cronyism and backwards dealing and inside-out type government favors that go to companies that don't actually create the best products, but actually have access to lobbyists or trial lawyers or things of that nature.

01:03:34.000 And so let's talk about the income inequality.

01:03:36.000 We as conservatives should come out and we should say that you should be able to support a family on one income.

01:03:45.000 That should be a key pillar plank.

01:03:47.000 Now, not every conservative agrees with me.

01:03:49.000 Some say, Charlie, let the free market work it out.

01:03:51.000 I say that is horsepucky and nonsense.

01:03:54.000 I say that if you have to have both the mom and dad in the workforce, that's not an economy working for families.

01:04:00.000 That's an economy working for corporations. 0.89

01:04:03.000 And so this is a balance, right?

01:04:05.000 Which is that we don't want to have the mom and dad on government assistance, right?

01:04:10.000 We don't want to all of a sudden say that we want to expand the government apparatus, but we should say that in the 1980s, you could support a family of four with 36 hours of work.

01:04:22.000 Now it takes 53 hours of work to support, I'm sorry, not hours, 53 weeks.

01:04:27.000 Okay, so 36 weeks, 53 weeks, okay?

01:04:30.000 So in the 1980s, 36 weeks of work, you could have just the father work and support a family of four.

01:04:36.000 So that means that he could work another six weeks and work overtime and have some savings.

01:04:40.000 Or he can have a couple weeks of vacation with his family, more leisure time.

01:04:44.000 Now it takes 53 weeks of work a year.

01:04:48.000 What does that mean?

01:04:49.000 The family either has to go into debt or the wife or the other spouse has to go in involuntarily. 0.93

01:04:55.000 I'm all for women working if they want to. 1.00

01:04:57.000 I want to be very clear.

01:04:58.000 Some people say, Charlie, it's misogynistic.

01:05:00.000 If you want to work as a mom, but you should be given the choice to be with your children the first 10 years of the child's life, which I think is precious.

01:05:08.000 And we as Christians should preserve that and not say, oh, no, you only get six weeks with your kid, drop it off at daycare with no other choice and then go back to your job if that's not what you want.

01:05:18.000 And so from the income inequality standpoint, make no mistake, that one of the reasons why income inequality is growing, number one, after COVID, it was a huge reason why income inequality grew.

01:05:31.000 The rich that had money to all of a sudden invest in certain products and services are richer than ever before.

01:05:37.000 The lockdowns made the rich richer.

01:05:40.000 The lockdowns were a gift to the richest people on the planet.

01:05:44.000 Amazon had more deliveries than ever before because people were afraid to leave their home.

01:05:48.000 Yet small businesses were totally crushed by the Amazonification of America.

01:05:52.000 I just made that word up, but you're thank you.

01:05:54.000 Yeah.

01:05:55.000 The Amazonification of America.

01:05:57.000 That's pretty good, right?

01:05:59.000 Thank you.

01:06:00.000 And so I got some more tricks up my sleeve or from more people using Zuckerberg's Facebook or whatever it might be.

01:06:07.000 And so we don't have to defend any sort of growing income inequality at a default position.

01:06:12.000 But the question is, well, what do we want, right?

01:06:14.000 What does success look like?

01:06:16.000 Success looks like we want stronger families and we want young people to be able to get married earlier and to be able to have more children without the same sort of financial pressures that they're feeling right now.

01:06:28.000 And now, some people from a market puritanical standpoint say, Charlie, tough luck.

01:06:32.000 You know, just cut the taxes, deregulate the economy.

01:06:35.000 We'll see what happens.

01:06:36.000 No, I am not okay with the birth rate going down. 0.99

01:06:38.000 I'm not okay with the most, the least married generation in American history. 0.96

01:06:43.000 I think we as conservatives have to say, you know what?

01:06:45.000 If we're going to stand for anything, we're going to make it easier to have children in America.

01:06:48.000 We're going to make it easier to get married.

01:06:50.000 And we have to entertain kind of what that looks like and how we're able to get there.

01:06:55.000 But also, I find nothing wrong with saying that it's unhealthy for a country where billionaires added $600 billion to their net worth in the last year and a half.

01:07:05.000 And you guys had the toughest year and a half that you've had in your lifetime.

01:07:09.000 I don't think we as conservatives should pick up our pom-poms and become cheerleaders to the billionaire class.

01:07:15.000 I don't.

01:07:16.000 I'm not saying we should take all their money away.

01:07:17.000 I'm not saying we should nationalize the industries, but I also don't think that these companies that also don't share your values, by the way, should be given a free pass and that we should become their cheerleaders just because we're supposed to be on their team.

01:07:30.000 Let's think more creatively and let's abandon the sort of kind of party team, right, team left loyalties that pre-existed us and say, here's what we believe.

01:07:39.000 Here's why we believe it.

01:07:40.000 Whatever team you put me on, this is what we're going to support.

01:07:43.000 So thanks for being here tonight.

01:07:49.000 Sorry, we hold the mic.

01:07:50.000 Bad experiences before us.

01:07:52.000 I can?

01:07:54.000 Oh, at the same time?

01:07:55.000 Is that weird?

01:07:56.000 Is that weird?

01:07:56.000 Oh, okay.

01:07:57.000 Hey.

01:07:58.000 So born and raised in Arizona, we're moving back to the valley, so hit me up.

01:08:03.000 Hey, one issue that I have with conservatives, because I've been a conservative all my life, was they tell us, hey, give us the House of Representatives.

01:08:12.000 We gave it to them.

01:08:13.000 Give us the Senate.

01:08:14.000 We gave it to them. 0.71

01:08:15.000 Lindsey Graham's one of the worst. 0.99

01:08:17.000 And then we gave him the White House and we got tax cuts.

01:08:24.000 And that is it.

01:08:25.000 When can they finally do something and tell Democrats, I don't care about this Russian investigation.

01:08:32.000 I'm not doing it.

01:08:33.000 And we're going to get our policies through.

01:08:36.000 That's a profound question.

01:08:37.000 And you should come to our stuff in Arizona because you're smart.

01:08:41.000 That's a great question.

01:08:42.000 It was really smart, which is many of you tonight say, Charlie, I like all this, but I've been voting Republican.

01:08:47.000 I've been losing the country, right?

01:08:50.000 Like we've been winning elections and we're losing the country.

01:08:52.000 So there's two things that are changing and one thing we have to change.

01:08:56.000 Number one, the citizenry is not putting up with it much anymore.

01:08:56.000 Two things that are changing.

01:08:59.000 We are demanding real action from our leaders.

01:09:02.000 And you see that in a lot of the states across the country.

01:09:05.000 You're seeing that in Florida, for example, where Governor Ron DeSanchez, who's amazing, has signed in the anti-lockdown measures, the anti-vaccine mandates, all these sorts of different things that he has done.

01:09:16.000 And so, but the second thing is that we have to realize that the extent of our relationship with government goes beyond just voting, everybody.

01:09:22.000 It's staying in relationship and in contact with your elected officials.

01:09:26.000 So, for example, if you're not happy with your senators, you do know they have town halls, right?

01:09:31.000 You can show up and you can talk to them.

01:09:33.000 One of the least utilized kind of, I think, measures by conservatives is showing up at town hall meetings and taking the time to talk to the people you send in D.C. You might say, Charlie, it doesn't make a difference.

01:09:44.000 Oh, no, yes, it does.

01:09:46.000 I spend private time with some senators and congressmen.

01:09:49.000 It matters a lot when people, especially congressmen in their district, start to complain.

01:09:53.000 Let me tell you how profound it is.

01:09:55.000 If just the people on this side of the room showed up at a town hall meeting for one of your U.S. senators, that would be a shot heard around South Carolina for a year.

01:10:03.000 And if every one of them complained.

01:10:04.000 But usually it's just kind of like, why is my Medicare not being processed correctly?

01:10:09.000 Or like the post office isn't getting enough funding.

01:10:11.000 Those are the people that kind of show up to the town hall, not like, wait a second, we put you in charge of these committees.

01:10:15.000 Why are we not getting action?

01:10:17.000 So I want to encourage all of you to have a more broad view of your activism, right?

01:10:22.000 not just showing up and voting and then getting away from it, but being involved 24-7, 365 and holding your leaders accountable.

01:10:30.000 So here's what you do.

01:10:31.000 You have to elect good guys, but just as important, sometimes even more important, is holding them accountable because we are on the very edge.

01:10:39.000 We are flirting with a dynamic where people that are conservatives say, Charlie, what's the use anymore?

01:10:46.000 Things don't change.

01:10:47.000 We win, but we end up losing.

01:10:50.000 Now, that might be true on the federal level.

01:10:52.000 I will say that.

01:10:52.000 But you look at the state level, the states, there has been some phenomenal traction in the last couple of years.

01:10:57.000 The state of Florida and the state of South Carolina, I could tell you by being here right now, is a profoundly different culture for the better than when you go to Connecticut or Oregon.

01:11:07.000 That it does matter, everybody.

01:11:09.000 That it matters how you stay engaged and you stay involved.

01:11:12.000 And there is hope there.

01:11:13.000 That the state of South Carolina is profoundly more free than the state of Washington.

01:11:18.000 And that's a good kind of message of hope to stay engaged, stay involved, and also hold your leaders accountable.

01:11:26.000 Thanks for being here tonight.

01:11:33.000 Hi, my name is Cole.

01:11:35.000 And real quick, I just have to say, mom and dad, could you stand up real quick?

01:11:39.000 Stand up.

01:11:40.000 These two people right here, they have taught me everything about being a wonderful human.

01:11:46.000 They have raised me.

01:11:47.000 They've taught me how to treat women, how to be a man, be a conservative, how to do everything.

01:11:54.000 And thank you so much for that.

01:11:58.000 Now, my best friend just got accepted into the Marines.

01:12:02.000 And I wanted to go into the military as well.

01:12:06.000 But I have a seizure condition and I wasn't able to.

01:12:09.000 What is something that I could be doing to help this country?

01:12:14.000 What a great question.

01:12:16.000 First of all, I want to thank everyone who served in this country and is serving.

01:12:19.000 You guys are heroes, and you deserve thanks and applause, truly.

01:12:27.000 God has a plan for you.

01:12:29.000 So now you can get involved in the fight here at home.

01:12:31.000 It's a different type of fight.

01:12:33.000 But boy, if you want to make a difference, we need more people that are really dedicated and want to work hard in everything that I talked about tonight.

01:12:40.000 And there's a variety of different ways you could do that.

01:12:43.000 And start local.

01:12:44.000 You know, start with local politics or start in kind of what's happening with our direction of our country.

01:12:49.000 I could give you a whole list of ways to get engaged and get involved.

01:12:53.000 But the first thing you have to do is commit.

01:12:55.000 Say, I want to do this.

01:12:57.000 That is going to be something that I want to go through with the rest of my life.

01:13:00.000 And here's some tough love.

01:13:01.000 And I tell this to audiences all the time.

01:13:03.000 People say, Charlie, what's it going to take for us to retake the country?

01:13:06.000 Step number one, everyone has to be the same person in public that they are in private.

01:13:11.000 And that goes for your faith as well.

01:13:12.000 Let's just talk about this from a faith perspective, is that no more cutting corners on your Christianity when you're around your friends, everybody.

01:13:19.000 No more being like, ah, yeah, you know, I go to church.

01:13:22.000 No, instead, like, you know what?

01:13:23.000 No.

01:13:24.000 Like, Jesus is my Lord and Savior.

01:13:26.000 He's the most important thing in my life.

01:13:28.000 Like, we got to be unafraid to say that, right?

01:13:31.000 That being the same person in public as you are in private is so incredibly important.

01:13:36.000 And you strike me as the type of person that's willing to do that.

01:13:38.000 But some people here tonight's like, Charlie, I'm going to get fired for my job if I do that.

01:13:42.000 I might lose friends.

01:13:43.000 You're right, you might.

01:13:44.000 But the country starts to go in the right direction when righteous people all of a sudden start to be courageous people.

01:13:50.000 That's one major change that needs to happen.

01:13:53.000 And the second thing kind of goes with that is a willingness to lose things that might be comfortable today for something that might be good tomorrow.

01:14:02.000 Is that sometimes you have to leave your comfort zone?

01:14:04.000 You know, sometimes, like, you know, you do in this event.

01:14:06.000 I'm sure you got a couple emails and texts.

01:14:08.000 Blah, blah, blah, blah.

01:14:08.000 Why are you doing this?

01:14:09.000 Just a little bit?

01:14:10.000 Yeah.

01:14:11.000 But that's courageous.

01:14:13.000 It says in Joshua 1.9, be strong and courageous, right?

01:14:16.000 And sometimes you have to do that because there's going to be things that are meaningful in life usually have a cost associated with them.

01:14:23.000 Things that matter usually are going to cost you something.

01:14:26.000 So I can give you a whole variety of things.

01:14:28.000 Also get involved with Turning Point USA and Turning Point Faith.

01:14:31.000 We'd love to have you engaged or involved.

01:14:32.000 But don't allow not being engaged in the Marines as all of a sudden like, oh, I'm done.

01:14:37.000 No, no, no.

01:14:38.000 We need people involved in every single level of this fight.

01:14:41.000 And God bless you for being here tonight.

01:14:42.000 So thank you.

01:14:45.000 One or two.

01:14:46.000 Yeah, one or two, one or two more.

01:14:47.000 And then, yeah, we only got a little pushback.

01:14:50.000 A little bit?

01:14:50.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:14:51.000 Which makes me want to do it more.

01:14:52.000 No, I can't.

01:14:54.000 Non-sarcastically, a little pushback.

01:14:58.000 Probably more than a little bit.

01:14:59.000 Okay.

01:15:00.000 But I love that.

01:15:01.000 I love that because what I do, what I would do is I would look on their social media pages at all the stuff.

01:15:07.000 And what I want to do is dive in, but I'm like, no, no.

01:15:12.000 And that's why I know you're doing a good job.

01:15:13.000 If you've got the number of haters that you've got, then you must be making a difference because people don't hate on something that isn't making a difference.

01:15:23.000 And you're obviously making a significant difference.

01:15:26.000 And so, yeah.

01:15:30.000 That's why you have a trash folder.

01:15:32.000 So anyway, right here.

01:15:34.000 Hey, my name is Delena, and I really thank you for being here tonight because you just actually gave me a two-minute platform.

01:15:42.000 The Anderson School District board meetings are the third Tuesday of every single month.

01:15:51.000 Two months ago, I went, I just moved back to the area.

01:15:54.000 I went two months ago.

01:15:56.000 I checked the curriculum in the middle school comprehensive health.

01:16:02.000 The agenda has been taken offline.

01:16:04.000 I confronted them about it.

01:16:06.000 It's still not up.

01:16:08.000 Two months later, I went back last month.

01:16:10.000 I'm going this month.

01:16:12.000 Last month, there was the three rows right here could have filled the whole auditorium.

01:16:17.000 There was nobody there.

01:16:19.000 We need the parents to come out and fight for our kids.

01:16:23.000 I don't even have kids in this county, and I am fighting for your kids.

01:16:28.000 Thank you.

01:16:28.000 Please join me.

01:16:30.000 Okay.

01:16:31.000 Do you have a question or no?

01:16:33.000 All right.

01:16:34.000 Last question right here.

01:16:36.000 We say this is the best question.

01:16:38.000 This is the best.

01:16:39.000 There's no pressure.

01:16:40.000 This is the best question.

01:16:41.000 The last question is ever going to be asked at a Charlie Kirk event right here.

01:16:45.000 Here we go.

01:16:46.000 No pressure.

01:16:47.000 All right.

01:16:48.000 Well, first I want to thank you, Perry.

01:16:50.000 And Charlie, I want to thank you.

01:16:52.000 I really appreciate all that you've done.

01:16:54.000 I feel like I've seen you on Hannity a million times.

01:16:57.000 And the biggest thing to me that's the most overwhelming, I think, and especially seeing what happened last election and see how they used COVID to, you know, take over the election laws is the media.

01:17:09.000 I mean, like, how do we beat?

01:17:11.000 Like, I feel like it's so overwhelming to me, you know, with the, I don't believe anything about January 6th.

01:17:19.000 I think it was a complete, you know, fake event.

01:17:22.000 And, but I think that there's the media is the media is complicit with the liberal agenda.

01:17:29.000 And how do we beat that?

01:17:31.000 Like, how?

01:17:32.000 Because I'm a strong believer and I am a strong conservative.

01:17:38.000 And I mean, I've been completely disengaged from politics since January 6th because I just feel like we, I never give up, but I'm still, I mean, I just want to get away from it because how do we win?

01:17:51.000 So first, let me just say this, which is we as Christians are commanded to reject cynicism.

01:17:57.000 I cannot stand cynicism.

01:17:58.000 I'm not saying you're being cynical at all.

01:18:00.000 I'm not accusing you of that, but you're close.

01:18:02.000 But you're close.

01:18:06.000 But I'm not saying you're there, but you're in the zip code.

01:18:08.000 So, which is all of us, and by the way, I deal with this all the time.

01:18:13.000 Like, are the odds too overwhelming?

01:18:15.000 We can't get our message out.

01:18:16.000 You know, they control Harvard, the New York Times, they control the FBI, the CIA.

01:18:21.000 What's the point?

01:18:22.000 Now, we as Christians, we have the truth and we know the truth.

01:18:26.000 And we are just as a default kind of posture.

01:18:29.000 Nothing we do should be cynical, everybody.

01:18:32.000 We should always try to find the hope and the good in everything we are doing.

01:18:35.000 Always.

01:18:36.000 That's who that's who it's what we are commanded as Christians.

01:18:38.000 And so make sure you have that kind of posture when you look at things politically as well.

01:18:43.000 Now, when it goes to the media side of it, people say, Charlie, what can I do?

01:18:48.000 Like, I've done everything that I've been asked to do.

01:18:50.000 I watched Talker Carlson.

01:18:52.000 I bought the pillow.

01:18:54.000 Like, I've done everything that I'm supposed to do.

01:18:56.000 Is there a promotion code you want to throw it?

01:18:58.000 Well, it's promo code Kirk.

01:19:00.000 If you go to mypillow.com and get that plug in.

01:19:04.000 Yeah, the Giza dream seats are unbelievable.

01:19:06.000 The slippers are heavenly. 0.90

01:19:08.000 And if you want the best night's sleep that you'll ever get, made in America, guarantee.

01:19:12.000 Mypillow.com promo code Kirk, okay?

01:19:19.000 No, but and this is part of it, which is that we have to become our own media.

01:19:24.000 So you want to know what gives me hope is that with full media suppression and social media suppression, 65% of Americans are familiar with the chant, let's go Brandon.

01:19:33.000 Now, that might be a small thing.

01:19:35.000 You're like, oh, what difference does that make?

01:19:36.000 No, that's with the full suppression, that we are still able to get the message out to 65%.

01:19:41.000 Now it's way more than that because the media finally has to cover it, right?

01:19:44.000 The same goes with the CRT thing.

01:19:46.000 No one in the media covered CRT.

01:19:48.000 It was a full black, blackout, blanket suppression campaign.

01:19:52.000 But it started to travel through people texting stories to people, people talking to people.

01:19:57.000 And that's all of a sudden rejecting the cynical posture to the active optimistic posture.

01:20:01.000 We're going to solve problems.

01:20:02.000 We're going to get the message out, get the word out.

01:20:04.000 I agree with you.

01:20:04.000 The media is a huge problem.

01:20:06.000 Again, we do our two podcasts a day.

01:20:08.000 You know, if you guys want to get media straight from the source, that's fine.

01:20:11.000 But I do think that things are starting to change.

01:20:12.000 Rumble.com, R-U-M-B-L-E.com is a great YouTube competitor.

01:20:17.000 Everyone should use Rumble as your go-to video and streaming platform.

01:20:20.000 Things are starting to go in the right direction in a very significant and real way.

01:20:24.000 But look, the media is going to do what they do, but their ratings are collapsing like you wouldn't believe.

01:20:28.000 And I think that all of a sudden they're going to have 10 to 15% of the population that watches them.

01:20:33.000 But I think that a majority of Americans are going to start to wake up to this stuff, wake up to decency and wake up to pro-American ideas and values.

01:20:39.000 So thanks for being here tonight.

01:20:46.000 Everybody, this has been so awesome.

01:20:47.000 I want to reiterate the most important thing you can do in your life is give your life to Jesus Christ.

01:20:51.000 If you're here tonight and you have not done that, you got to get that done and understand the significance of what that means and being reborn.

01:20:58.000 My life's work is in the second most important thing.

01:21:00.000 I still talk about number one, but I just want to encourage all of you to do more.

01:21:05.000 Is that this nation, I believe, is a gift.

01:21:08.000 It is the most free, generous, successful, wealthy nation in the history of the world.

01:21:13.000 And I believe that it would be a disservice to what we have been given and for generations prior for us just to sit idly by and say, no, I'm not going to do that.

01:21:21.000 We have to be engaged.

01:21:22.000 We have to be involved.

01:21:23.000 We have to be aware of what's going on.

01:21:26.000 And that's the other thing, which is, I know it's tempting just to kind of watch the endless Netflix series or Hulu series, but you got to carve time to do two things every single day.

01:21:34.000 Number one, be aware what's going on in the news.

01:21:36.000 And number two, learn something new every single day about your nation.

01:21:39.000 We have partnered, we have partnered with Hillsdale College.

01:21:42.000 If you guys want to take the online courses, it's charlieforhillsdale.com because everyone here says, Charlie, I want to do more to save the country.

01:21:49.000 Be aware and learn.

01:21:51.000 Those are two things that are super important because how are you ever going to know what to do if you don't know what you have and you don't know what's happening?

01:21:58.000 If you're like, oh, I know what I do.

01:22:00.000 Okay, what's going on in the news cycle?

01:22:02.000 And then what does it mean?

01:22:03.000 What are your rights as a citizen?

01:22:04.000 What does the Constitution say?

01:22:06.000 How many articles of the Constitution are there?

01:22:07.000 What is the preamble?

01:22:08.000 What is the beginning of the Declaration say?

01:22:10.000 And what does it mean for you?

01:22:11.000 These things are so incredibly important, everybody, because we are in the truth business and we know the truth sets people free.

01:22:18.000 And guess what, everybody?

01:22:19.000 In the end, we are going to win.

01:22:21.000 In the end, victory is ours because it's the Lord's.

01:22:24.000 God bless you guys.

01:22:25.000 Thank you so much for having us here tonight.

01:22:26.000 Thank y'all for coming.

01:22:31.000 Thank you so much for listening, everybody.
