Today on the Charlie Kirk Show, Scott Baller joins the show about spreading the gospel all across the country. We also have an incredible conversation about my campus tour and what I m learning about what's going on on college campuses.
00:00:44.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:02:18.000In fact, it was so overwhelming at the end, there almost was a creation of a tunnel where I had to walk through to be able to exit people asking for selfies and for signatures.
00:02:28.000It was very similar to like a college football team entering a stadium.
00:02:34.000There were a couple liberals, one interaction in particular that will probably go viral, of a young man who was not dumb.
00:03:17.000And for any of you that think the Democrats are going to adjust from the grassroots, it's not going to happen.
00:03:24.000Now, there might be a candidate that comes in and declares war on the base of the Democrat Party, but the base of the Democrat Party is more on board for this nonsense than ever before.
00:03:35.000The base of the Democrat Party thinks that there's nothing wrong with men stealing medals and awards from women.
00:03:42.000They have made a deal with the trans zealots of the base of their party, and they are married to it.
00:03:49.000But more broadly, the biggest takeaway is how the Democrat base has never had to deal with losing a culture war battle.
00:05:05.000I know in the general population a fair amount, but a little bit compared to this guy was he was like, well, Charlie, don't you see the similarities between the rise of Hitler and the rise of Donald Trump?
00:07:01.000Because every day we are winning over new converts.
00:07:05.000Every day we are winning over new young fans.
00:07:09.000And there is no sizable, well-funded opposition.
00:07:12.000And it really makes you wonder that once you start...
00:07:15.000Once you stop the funding at USAID, all of a sudden these campuses simmer down a little bit.
00:07:20.000Now I know I might be going a little too far in that direction, but it really makes you think, how much of a racket of a money flow was USAID towards the pressure campaign of the left?
00:07:31.000James Carville is basically saying this.
00:09:25.000These universities are now sending out panicked emails.
00:09:28.000We got an internal email from an Ivy League school notifying everyone that in all conference At their conference are brown bag lunches now.
00:09:37.000No more free taxpayer lunches, literally.
00:09:40.000James Carville says for the Democrats, stay put, don't do anything, roll over, play dead.
00:09:46.000While we at Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action are embarking on the most aggressive evangelism campaign, for lack of a better term, conversion campaign, persuasion campaign, and it's working.
00:09:59.000And obviously, I want the Democrats to fail, not succeed.
00:10:02.000But they're going all in that we are going to fumble.
00:10:38.000Because not all tax resolution companies are the same.
00:10:41.000First, Tax Network USA has a strong relationship with the IRS. And third, their genius strategies are designed to quickly settle your tax problems in your favor.
00:10:56.000Whether you owe $10,000 or $10 million, their attorneys and negotiators have resolved $1 billion in tax debt.
00:11:01.000I trust Tax Network USA. Call and talk with one of their strategists.
00:11:18.000In fact, the dialogue at University of South Florida, I had a young man bring up something in regards to the trans debate that I should have known, but I didn't.
00:11:26.000And I did some research called the Swire Syndrome at a campus at University of Florida.
00:12:42.000Israel as a place with sovereignty and borders.
00:12:46.000And Israel shines a lot brighter when you contrast it with the barbarism and the disgusting behavior, that's being very sweet, the butchery of its neighbors.
00:13:07.000For anyone that has eyes to see and ears to hear and actually reads the Qadith and reads parts of the Koran, you know that conquest is an Islamic value.
00:13:19.000To submit is literally what Islam means.
00:15:29.000There was a nine-month-old baby that just got returned home as a corpse by Hamas.
00:15:36.000But understand that that young man, which is not an embodiment of all Muslims, I get along with a lot of Muslims, but that young man, who I do not believe is a vast minority, believes that the example of how Jews and Muslims should coexist in the Middle East is what happened when Hamas took these Jews hostage.
00:15:54.000That's what he believes is an example of living peacefully when they slit the throats of these young little babies and return them back as corpses.
00:16:02.000The Israeli Hamas struggle is one versus civilization and barbarism.
00:16:10.000Even if you think it's a bit overhyped, AI is suddenly everywhere, from self-driving cars to molecular medicine to business efficiency.
00:16:18.000If it's not in your industry yet, it's coming fast.
00:16:21.000But AI needs a lot of speed and computing power, so how do you compete with costs spiraling out of control?
00:16:28.000Time to upgrade to the next generation of the cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, or OCI. OCI is a blazing fast and secure platform for your infrastructure, database, application development, plus all your AI and machine learning workloads.
00:16:41.000OCI costs 50% less for compute and 80% less for networking, so you're saving a pile of money.
00:16:48.000Thousands of businesses have already upgraded to OCI, including Vodafone, Thomas Reuters, and Suno AI. Right now, Oracle is offering to cut your current cloud bill in half if you move to OCI. For new U.S. customers with minimal financial commitment, offer ends March 31st.
00:17:46.000I think a lot of people saw that President Trump was on, made the comments about challenging Christians to get out there and vote, that he needed their vote, and that got a lot of play, I know, on a lot of the different networks, which is great.
00:17:58.000But, yeah, we were able to be at that conference, meet a lot of great people, a lot of great young Americans, and the results for us were great.
00:18:05.000We had, if you can believe it, within a month after that conference, we had about 95 zip codes adopted for SaturateUSA, which accounts for about...
00:18:14.000575,000 people that shared the gospel.
00:18:20.000Love the Believer Summit that we had and excited to continue to work and partner with you guys on getting the word out about Jesus Christ and sharing the gospel with people in the United States.
00:18:33.000So let's put up that chart that we had yesterday.
00:18:40.000saying that America's religious decline is actually curbed.
00:18:44.000It's flatlined a little bit, and it's going up slightly, Scott.
00:18:49.000As you can see in that chart, over the last couple decades, there was a steady march downward of people no longer identifying as religious or spiritual or Christian.
00:18:59.000And so they are, it was marching down.
00:19:01.000But in the last couple of years, post-COVID, We've seen it tick up a little bit.
00:19:06.000So during COVID, it went down, and now we are seeing a slight resurgence, dare we call it a revival.
00:19:13.000Do you see this in your work that you are doing at Saturate USA? And tell us some of the data and the stories that you're experiencing.
00:19:23.000You know, COVID was tough because obviously the government was keeping people from eating in churches, and so that's a very tough thing.
00:19:30.000But since then, I think we're seeing a huge revival in people's values, wanting to get back to Christian values, understanding that that's where we need to be as a country.
00:19:41.000We've actually had, on a guesstimate, there's about 120. We've had 53 million adopted already over the last four to five years, and it's been incredible.
00:19:54.000We see churches going out there every day, sharing the gospel in their neighborhoods.
00:19:59.000And the whole premise of SaturateUSA is not to uplift some organization, but really to get the churches back out in the community.
00:20:07.000And my personal opinion, as we've seen what's happened in the election here in November, was I think that we're seeing that people are realizing that we've got to get back to some truth.
00:20:18.000We've got to get back, as Musk said, about caring.
00:20:38.000And the hope is, I think as a country, is as we get back to more values of biblical values, I think then...
00:20:46.000Our values as it pertains to family, as it pertains to politics, it changes as well.
00:20:53.000And I think the American people have made a pretty strong case for that in the last election.
00:20:58.000As you look at the things that Trump, you know, went on and then the reaction and the numbers, as you see, polls with people really caring about their community and so forth.
00:21:10.000And then I think with Christianity, a lot of times when things get tough, which we know, man, they were really tough there for four years under Biden, that people rely on prayer.
00:22:31.000We must remind people the Constitution is incompatible with a faithless nation.
00:22:37.000The Constitution and a faithless nation cannot coexist, and we need a belief in the eternal and the divine.
00:22:44.000And I do want to mention this just because it's about this topic of faith.
00:22:48.000That there has been a terrible situation for Christians, and I'll connect the dots here in a second, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 70 believers were beheaded in church, and it received no attention at all whatsoever from the mainstream media or from any coverage.
00:23:06.00070 Christians were beheaded, and these were Islamic jihadists and are a threat to Judeo-Christian civilization.
00:23:13.000We as Christians need to realize how good we have it here in America and how amazing the freedoms and liberties that we enjoy.
00:23:21.000Scott, as you do this work at Saturate USA, remind our audience how all of them can take it upon themselves to spread the gospel and spread the word.
00:23:36.000What we ask people to do is get out there and either through individuals, through neighborhoods, through churches, to go out and spread the gospel through their neighborhoods.
00:23:52.000They have a DVD with online streaming capacities to look at the Jesus film in over 1,800 different languages.
00:24:04.000It has Magdalena as well, which is a movie about her, and it's a great movie for inner city people.
00:24:10.000And then the last one would be Jesus' film for children, which is pretty self-explanatory.
00:24:16.000Those are provided on the DVD, but really are provided streaming-wise for free for people.
00:24:22.000And then the last thing in there, there's a booklet.
00:24:25.000It's called Do You Want to Know God Personally?
00:24:26.000And it's a very simple way to lead people through accepting Christ as their Lord and Savior.
00:24:31.000The last thing we ask then for the people to do is to put in local church information in the packet.
00:24:37.000The goal is to get these people in their neighborhoods to be connecting with each other, with their neighbors, and then getting them into our local churches because that's where we need them to be.
00:25:00.000They're praying for houses as they do it.
00:25:02.000And they're putting these packets either in hand by knocking on the door, but most people leave them on the door and then follow up weeks later.
00:25:11.000And we have seen church after church after church have huge impacts in sharing the gospel in their community.
00:25:19.000Helping people in need and getting out there and doing that.
00:27:06.000You basically do it in your time, when you want to do it, and in whatever way you want.
00:27:11.000We're more than happy as an organization to tell you best practices or give you information and connect you with other churches that have done it.
00:27:19.000But the key is, is it's done in your time and it can be done at your speed when you want to do it and so forth.
00:27:25.000We are doing a special thing where we're really trying to do a big push for Easter.
00:27:29.000We would love to get 2 million homes adopted in the next month or so, so that we could have a big push before Easter.
00:27:36.000I think Easter is always a great time for the church to get people to come to church and to get involved in their community.
