Learn English with Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, a Christian youth organization that fights for freedom on campuses across the country. In this speech, Charlie talks about the importance of Christian youth on college campuses, and how the church is not talking about it enough.
00:00:36.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:43.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:03.000I've been all over the country the last couple of days and it is special to be able to end the week here with the most important thing, which is to strengthen the church, to make sure the church is able and equipped for this moment.
00:01:18.000And I just want to first praise the TPUSA faith staff that have been working so hard on this event.
00:01:28.000They've worked so hard on all the little meticulous details.
00:01:32.000I also want to thank so many of the supporters that made this possible.
00:01:35.000I don't know if I'm, I don't know if I'm allowed to say your name on stage, so I'll just say thank you for those who donated to make this possible.
00:01:44.000So I want to share a couple, I want to share two things.
00:01:50.000One is a really fun kind of cultural victory and then one of a threat that I'm afraid the church is not talking about enough and then we'll do some question and answer.
00:01:59.000So as you know, I go to college campuses so you guys don't have to.
00:02:02.000I've been doing it for the last 13 years.
00:02:04.000Go and set up a card table, come to the front of the line, ask a question and we kind of have a nice back and forth.
00:02:10.000And they've gone somewhat viral, as you know.
00:02:15.000We believe Christ is Lord, Christ is King.
00:02:17.000We believe in the inerrancy of Scripture.
00:02:19.000We stand against the abortion industry, against the transgender nonsense, against the open border nonsense.
00:02:25.000And we do so on a college climate where that does not always win you friends in favor.
00:02:29.000But I think that's been kind of one of the kind of magic elements of what we've been able to see this be so successful.
00:02:35.000And so over the last couple of years, we've been putting these videos up on social media and billions and billions of people have watched these videos.
00:02:43.000And I bet some of you might have seen the videos once or twice or your kids or your grandkids.
00:02:48.000And it's it's really amazing because you never know the impact that you're making, right?
00:02:52.000And praise the Lord, President Trump won back in November.
00:02:54.000God granted grace on this nation and bought us some time.
00:02:58.000And one of the reasons why President Trump was able to win is younger voters moved almost ten points to the right.
00:03:04.000In fact, young men are the most conservative generation that we've seen in fifty years.
00:03:08.000And Gen Z is the most Christian generation that we have seen in the last fifty years.
00:03:14.000That's more important than conservative.
00:03:17.000In fact, church attendance is finally going a little up.
00:03:20.000The top music on Apple Music is predominantly Christian music.
00:03:25.000Young people are going back to the faith.
00:04:03.000However, God works in mysterious ways.
00:04:06.000I'm about to show you something, how only God can make South Park biblical, right?
00:04:11.000So we do these campus events, we do these debates, we do this back and forth, and billions of views later, all of a sudden, kind of the thing where we go to college campuses and we have that back and forth, and we're bringing people closer to Jesus and we're bringing them away away from leftism and away from Marxism and towards conservative values has obviously made a difference.
00:04:32.000And so last night they aired this entire episode with the obvious intent to try to make fun of us and to mock us.
00:04:39.000And honestly, I take it in good kind of step.
00:04:43.000It's a sign that what we're doing is working and that it has impact and real cultural weight, right?
00:04:50.000Not just that we're just talking to the converted, but we are going out and being salt and light in a broken culture.
00:04:58.000Not in any of my wildest imaginations could I have imagined that we would get South Park to be able to quote a Bible verse word for word in defense of the unborn.
00:05:14.000I'm telling you, this is Genesis 50:20, everybody, right?
00:05:18.000What the enemy meant for evil, God will use for good.
00:05:22.000And so just enjoy, I think it's like a 14 second clip.
00:05:25.000By the way, for those of you that watch a lot of our videos, you'll notice the little detail of the water bottle sip in between.
00:05:32.000You notice that's kind of a thing that gotta stay hydrated on these campuses.
00:05:36.000And I gotta tell the South Park creators, they crushed the hair.
00:06:06.000And there's another one where he, this character who apparently was playing me or whatever, um, quotes Jeremiah 15.
00:06:13.000I knew you before you were in the womb.
00:06:15.000And so goes to show just the power and the penetration and the virality of what we've been able to do.
00:06:22.000And I want that to just be a sign, everybody, that sometimes you can be doing this very difficult work when you can be outnumbered, where you can be in the ideological or worldview minority, and you can make a phenomenal difference.
00:06:37.000And really the lesson I take from that is, you know, they were trying to make fun of us.
00:06:41.000And again, in some essence though, what we listen carefully, which is that it doesn't matter about your feelings, it matters about truth.
00:06:49.000And all of you as pastors, you are in the truth business.
00:06:53.000You're not in their truth business, you are in the truth business.
00:06:57.000And when you are appealing to a higher standard above your own feelings, your own directive, that's when you as pastors know you are doing your job and you are doing it well.
00:07:08.000And so I just want to say thank you to the creators of South Park for witnessing to an entire generation and making the culture understand the arguments of pro life and scripture and all that fun stuff.
00:07:24.000I want to praise a lot of you in this audience that are, first of all, here for the first time, are here at a TPUSA faith event.
00:07:30.000We started this project a couple of years ago.
00:07:32.000Lucas Miles is doing a phenomenal job running it.
00:07:35.000Rob McCoy has been such a great mentor of mine.
00:07:37.000And I have so many friends in the audience that I can shout out and generally.
00:07:40.000And Jack Hibbs has just been incredible, and Frank Turek, and so many people.
00:07:44.000And we started this project with a mission statement that still remains true to this day.
00:07:49.000But we're actually one of the few Christian ministries that can say we've actually made progress since we started in the last couple of years, which is we wanted to kick wokeism out of the American church.
00:08:02.000At its core, of course, it is it represents itself as diversity, equity, inclusion, critical race theory, oppression Olympics, caring about the race of your congregants.
00:08:12.000But at its core, where it goes, it's a demonic unclean spirit that will go after the inerrancy of Scripture, the lordship of Jesus Christ, the truth of the resurrection, and Christianity at its core.
00:08:22.000It is a deconstructionist virus that has found itself in too many seminariums, too many youth pastor areas, and then too many parts of our churches.
00:08:31.000We must stand as guardians, watchmen, or watch women, but watchmen on the wall against this infiltration of the American church to try to destabilize our youth first and our elders second, to try to question what God has told us through Scripture.
00:08:47.000And wokeism does that better than anything else.
00:08:50.000Wokeism is an analytical tool that makes you question the truth of the Scriptures.
00:08:57.000And I'll be honest, we're making progress in this way.
00:08:59.000There's many pastors that are here today that you would not have been ever caught at a TPUSA event four years ago.
00:09:04.000I'm going to say, I'm glad you're here.
00:09:10.000And it's not a matter of like, hey, by the way, I find when we do these events at times, there's a little bit of like a kind of a little bit of a contest.
00:09:16.000Oh, I opened my church in June of 2020.
00:09:31.000And so I believe that God used the evil of the lockdowns and the terrible aspects of the virus as a way to wake up so many of you of the cultural influences that made themselves into the church.
00:09:46.000Now some people say, Charlie, I don't like how TPUSA faith is trying to get politics into the church.
00:09:52.000Our contention actually is we want to kick Marxist politics out of the church and it's not political, it's biblical.
00:10:00.000You see what we are doing is a defensive strategy against an offensive infiltration that has been occurring over the last fifty years.
00:10:13.000What we're actually doing is for us shedding ourselves of a framework, of a dialectical tool that leads you in the direction of a pastor on Sunday saying, well, maybe the Bible is just a series of stories and you don't need the Old Testament.
00:10:31.000You see, deconstructionism leads you to that moment.
00:10:34.000And eventually that pastor will say, all faiths lead you to heaven.
00:10:39.000Because once you start questioning the inerrancy of too many seminaries begin down that road because everything is processed through a worldview.
00:10:49.000This is what I tell our kids every single day on college campuses.
00:10:52.000You might think you do not bring a worldview worldview to the table, but everybody brings a processing matrix of how you input information and what you process it through.
00:11:02.000We believe scripture and God's word is how we process the information that we are consuming.
00:11:09.000We then hold it to God's perfect and pleasing will.
00:11:12.000Now, somebody else, if all of a sudden you have a deconstructionist analytical tool, they're going to be like, well, maybe I should, I'm going to hold it.
00:11:31.000And that is a demonic tool to try to undermine the basis of the American Church.
00:11:39.000And we're seeing more and more churches start to distance themselves from that kind of deviation and that detour.
00:11:47.000So many pastors that marched in BLM parades and locked down and did mass mandates, some of them have repented and some of them have quietly repented.
00:11:56.000And honestly, we should be open arms to say, welcome back.
00:12:07.000There's no like, hey, I'm a better pastor than you because I didn't do that or I'm a better church than you.
00:12:13.000We all fall short of the glory of God and we all have missteps.
00:12:16.000And those that seek reconciliation and repentance and come back to God's perfect and pleasing will, we should accept them back no different than the prodigal son.
00:12:25.000And so I feel as if we're making progress on that.
00:12:28.000And I think we've had a lot of speakers talk about that these last day and a half.
00:12:32.000However, I'm afraid that we as the American church and this room can change that.
00:12:38.000Because I think there's another politically incorrect thing around the hill.
00:13:27.000people that may be of different faiths, but this is a uniquely Christian project.
00:13:31.00055 out of 56 of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were Bible-believing, church-attending Christians.
00:13:37.000Almost every single of the original states at the founding father era required a declaration of faith in order to serve in government.
00:13:46.000Almost every single one of the original colonies had their own theological or denominational allegiance, whether it be Presbyterian or Quaker or Congregationalist, or Maryland would be Catholic.
00:13:59.000The founding fathers were explicitly Christian.
00:14:02.000And so in Christendom, we found, we almost are afraid to talk about it, this amazing, prosperous civilization that has given us the wealth beyond our wildest imagination, that gives us charity and gives us generosity and gives us protection of individual rights and gives us all these things that sometimes we take for granted is under attack from yes wokeism, but also Islamism.
00:14:26.000And now we're going to get to the point where a lot of pastors are afraid.
00:14:29.000Now let me tell you, I'm uniquely positioned because I get death threats from two different types of jihadis, purple haired jihadis and actual jihadis.
00:14:42.000And if this conversation makes you a little uncomfortable, I'm here to push you and prod you.
00:14:46.000you because you as a pastor need to make sure that your flock is prepared for the infiltration and the invasion of Christendom, Western civilization, from not just the Marxist angle, but from the outright Islamist angle that is happening via mass immigration, infiltration, and non-assimilation practices under Akla and under Islam.
00:15:15.000We're honored to be partnering with the Allen Jackson Ministries, and today I want to point you to their podcast.
00:15:19.000It's called Culture and Christianity, the Allen Jackson Podcast.
00:15:23.000What makes it unique is Pastor Allen's biblical perspective.
00:15:26.000He takes the truth from the Bible and applies it to issues that we're facing today.
00:15:30.000Gender confusion, abortion, immigration, Doge, Trump, and the White House.
00:16:56.000However, I'm telling you, in the year of our Lord 2025, the equivalent is that right now there is a red, we talked about Marxism, green Islamism alliance.
00:17:08.000to destroy Christendom and to deprive the American church of our rightful role of being the primary cultural influence of this civilization.
00:17:56.000This did not happen because we had a southern open border.
00:17:59.000This did not happen because it was illegal.
00:18:01.000This was Christian generosity that was taken advantage of.
00:18:08.000As it says in Deuteronomy 28, one of the last things Moses said in his farewell address to the people of Israel is, be careful who you allow, and I'm paraphrasing, in the nation of Israel, because the foreigner can soon become your master.
00:18:22.000Now, a lot of you say, but Charlie, immigration is our strength.
00:18:31.000It is not by default a wonderful thing.
00:18:34.000No different than nuclear power can be used to power a city or to have Hiroshima or Nagasaki.
00:18:40.000But we need to talk very seriously as an American church and we need to be speaking out unafraid about the theological and the spiritual implications of what's happening here.
00:18:50.000And I'll be very honest, I have been underwhelmed by the American church taking the role.
00:19:04.000Now, that's the call to courage I want to have for you.
00:19:07.000Because we are about to enter a moment where the two previous Christian centers of the West are about to both have Muslim mayors.
00:19:16.000Don't tell me this is not a big issue.
00:19:18.000You're about to have Sadiq Khan in London and Zoran Mamdanin in New York City, largely made possible by our mass open immigration policies.
00:19:30.000But here's where a step further we need to understand.
00:19:33.000If any of you have had the opportunity to go to Europe recently, it is an unrecognizable continent and understand how this all works in harmony together.
00:20:09.000And so therefore Europe kind of becomes a former shell of itself.
00:20:12.000And they say, well, if we want to have economic growth, we can bring in a bunch of Muslim refugees.
00:20:20.000And as I will articulate through several pieces of teaching in the Quran and in core Islamic theology, and my friend Andrew Sedra has talked about this at length, that it is not an accident this is an architecture this is not a one-off this is a strategy to create a world global caliphate and you might say well this is kind of like conspiracy theory you
00:20:50.000know what's the difference between conspiracy theory and truth wait three years just wait a couple years now We know that Europe has largely fallen.
00:21:04.000So they secularize and then they invite and you see this combination.
00:21:08.000What do we tell the women of the West to do?
00:21:10.000Go have as much sex as possible, get on the birth control pill, and have abortions.
00:21:15.000So we don't have kids, but we're going to go import a bunch of people that are going to have kids.
00:21:19.000Number one birth name in the top cities in Europe, Mohammed.
00:21:23.000Not Mitchell, not Mark, not Montesquieu, Mohammed.
00:21:28.000And it is a strategy to take over through the silent means of mass reproduction.
00:21:37.000And the church is like, well, we're told that we have to open our arms to...
00:21:56.000Nor does it say you should invite your future masters who don't believe what you believe and actually don't want you to keep on having to be able to do it.
00:22:05.000So in America, we are dancing with this issue.
00:22:11.000The mayor of Minneapolis will be a Muslim soon.
00:22:14.000But you might say, come on, we as Christians, we can coexist.
00:23:20.000We're talking about the macro ideology where many of them gather together and what that metastasizes into.
00:23:29.000So I want you to try to filter out any individual interactions because that is a distraction from what is happening civilizationally.
00:23:38.000And so we see in the country not just the birth rate, but also three words that I want you guys to know about.
00:23:47.000Well, the third one is by far the most controversial that credits my security team.
00:23:53.000We're going to have a whole other security threat profile, but they can't kill us all, and I'll meet you in heaven first if they try.
00:23:59.000So, which is, by the way, let me be very clear.
00:24:04.000The fact that we even have to be afraid of our personal security, of criticizing a worldview of people we invite into our country, shows that we shouldn't invite those people into our country anymore.
00:24:16.000Like, oh, I need personal security because I criticize your religion.
00:24:20.000What happens when you criticize Christianity?
00:25:26.000You see, there is not this idea that the state is where you go and vote and you kind of get your police force and then you go to the church and they're separate.
00:25:33.000That's a uniquely Protestant idea, by the way, just so we are clear.
00:25:36.000It is a Protestant idea that we separate those.
00:26:59.000The second of which is Uma, UMMAH, which is a global caliphate.
00:27:04.000You see, we are called to make disciples of all nations by winning them over, by converting them with songs, praise, teaching, scripture, prayer.
00:28:29.000This is a room of Christian leaders and pastors, and you don't know that the number one religion that's growing in the West, the greatest man ever to live, married a girl at age six.
00:28:40.000Meanwhile, on the other side, we believe the greatest man ever to live, Christ our Lord said, It's better for you to have a millstone hung around your neck than to lay a hand on any of these children.
00:28:57.000Let me read from, quote, the prophet married me when I was six years old and then consummated the marriage with me when I was nine years old.
00:29:07.000Mind you, they're not saying that like he had good ideas or he should reference the greatest man ever to live, the ideal that was given all this divine revelation.
00:29:21.000Continues, Aisha, Allah be pleased with her, right?
00:29:26.000Allah's apostle married me when I was six years old and I was admitted to his house at the age of nine.
00:29:33.000authentic in Sunni Islam and appeared in both Bacari and Muslim, the two most authoritative collections.
00:29:39.000So this is a, you're looking at this from a worldview standpoint, like, wait a second.
00:29:46.000So on our side, we have, one side you have a conqueror, genocidal maniac, engaging in the flesh, nothing new like every other conqueror from Alexander the Great to Genghis Khan.
00:29:56.000Okay, but Christ our Lord said, blessed are the peacemakers.
00:30:01.000He accepted the punishment and defeated the grave and was raised on the third day, defended children, said it'd be better for you to have eternal punishment if you dare put a hand out.
00:31:00.000We have an opportunity to say no more.
00:31:02.000We have an opportunity, honestly, to bring some of these Muslims to Jesus, which is what our wish should be.
00:31:08.000We should try to evangelize the Muslim population in this country and to bring them to Christ.
00:31:13.000But most importantly, we as the church should never sit idly by and roll over and allow our birthright brought to you by the courage of Christians of generations past to be desecrated by mass immigration of a worldview that wishes to slit the throat of many of us in this room.
00:31:33.000Thank you guys and let's do some questions.
00:32:06.000You can even skip a payment every six months up to 12 times without penalty, you don't have to ignore that mountain of student loan statements on your kitchen table anymore.
00:32:13.000Call 888YREFI 34 or go to yrefi.com that is yrefy.com may not be available in all 50 states.
00:32:23.000If you have distressed or defaulted private student loans, they can get you out of debt.
00:32:28.000So if you know anybody in your life that might have student loan problems, private student loan problems, check it out right now at yrefi.com that is yrefy.com.
00:32:41.000Yes, we'll do a couple and then I don't want to keep you guys too late.
00:33:19.000I actually feel called to the conflict of good conflict and to the tension.
00:33:24.000And again, I'm not walking around trying to find issues where they don't exist, right, guys?
00:33:30.000I would much rather live and kind of be a college football coach or a baseball manager, the Chicago Cubs or something, right?
00:33:38.000But my friend Andrew Cedra and I, we were talking about this at the pastor's conference in Georgia before Mom Donnie, I even knew who he was.
00:34:00.000And I would go to Piccadilly Square and every single shop is in Arabic and the women are in the full garb.
00:34:08.000And then what's even worse, and this is what really drove me nuts, the unoffendability of that population where the native Christian Brits, like Charlie, you can't say this here.
00:34:24.000You see, we Americans, we don't really play by that whole ballgame.
00:34:28.000And I got a ticket out of Heathrow in like 36 hours.
00:34:31.000So, yes, I'm going to say, I said all the things, but they have made a deal with a treacherous ideology.
00:35:14.000Charlie, I follow you on Marty Ellett from El Centro California follow on Instagram as well as our Christian radio station we just got you on for an hour a week that's really cool thank you I'm a freshman city councilman my wife is a freshman a high school board member we just got elected just this last year so we got a big problem in California but we have you know elections are coming just a year away so we have three really good
00:36:11.000Honestly, I know that you're concerned about California.
00:36:13.000If anybody has never seen Charlie with with Governor Newsom you need to watch that that's very sweet that's incredible thank you and I'm only laughing because I just came from Tuesday I came from Maine and New York And they both basically had the same question.
00:36:30.000Hey, Charlie, can you do an event and save New York?
00:36:45.000Literally, this is like low on my priority list, trying to stop the suffocation of the West via the East, right?
00:36:52.000So look, I think some people in this room could definitely step up and do a forum like this, happy to help.
00:36:58.000And then whoever the nominee is, I will help with every possible piece of resources, energy I can to get them elected as governor of California.
00:37:07.000I want to thank you so much for bringing to the attention you saw from the hands that we as pastors have no idea about the seriousness of the Islam problem.
00:37:17.000But just as much as we are ignorant, we also have nowhere to no idea where to turn to find out what we need to know to be able to broadly proclaim the truth and stand up to questions without looking to be foolish.
00:37:30.000What do you recommend that we read or a website that we can go to so that we can become better informed to stand up?
00:40:08.000In the Bible, it says, welcome the foreigner so that they can become one of you, not that they remain a foreigner while they're in your land.
00:40:17.000And if they remain a foreigner once you've invited them in, it invites a whole different set of theological triggers.
00:40:56.000And if I may humbly just talk about what happens when I go to the most liberal pockets in America, when I go to University of Washington, for example, or when I go to UC Berkeley, the liberal places.
00:41:14.000They don't want to just go to church and hear a TED talk with good music.
00:41:21.000They don't want to just go to church and be like, well, the parking was organized and the coffee was above average.
00:41:29.000They want to be challenged and provoked and they want to be led towards eternal truth.
00:41:35.000And we talk about Jesus as a Savior, but how often are we afraid to tell the people we're trying to get saved what they need to be saved for?
00:41:46.000from and that is the word and my friend Barry we talked about this forever you your need of a savior increases the more you talk about sin and you sin can only exist because sin means off the target if you talk about the target So you talk about the target, realize you're falling short.
00:42:17.000You put, you make sense of it being like, you know why you're all those things?
00:42:20.000Because here's the target and you're over here and Jesus is the only way back to that.
00:42:24.000And they're like, wow, I never thought.
00:42:27.000And we laugh, but the other, you know what the gospel the other way is?
00:42:31.000They say, even though you're over here, this is the, this is the modern gospel.
00:42:34.000We're just going to let you stay there because it's a little bit too judgy.
00:42:38.000And we're not going to talk about the ideal, we're not going to talk about the target, we're not going to talk about how homosexuality is a sin or transgenderism is bad or that gambling addiction is wrong or adultery is wrong because we don't want to offend you because under the modern world, offending somebody is the greatest sin.
00:44:13.000With that, I'm kind of the unofficial chaplain, and wherever I go and I do my invocations I proudly proclaim Jesus as Lord this last time I had a couple people come up to me and say hey howl you need to kind of tone it down you know there's Jews in here there's Muslims in here we're all conservatives how do you react to that no don't do that so again what is the objection that people are offended
00:44:50.000And by the way, don't do it as a way to offend.
00:44:52.000Don't do it as a way to taunt, but a simply stated truth claim must never be apologized for period ever on end of story and you can do it artfully and tastefully you could do it in a presentation where you say you know we're so blessed by christ our lord to be here today just that alone people will hear that and once you speak the truth it kind of hangs in the air you think about it and you dwell on it no matter the circum let me tell you
00:45:23.000right now politics is peanuts compared to the truth of jesus christ amen and period never compromise on that ever thank you so much if you want to make sense of the change and the chaos happening around us, you're going to need God's help.
00:45:40.000That's why Allen Jackson Ministries, a friend of mine, created the Culture and Christianity Podcast, the Culture and Christianity Conference, and their weeknight news show, Allen Jackson Now.
00:45:52.000Millions of people also listen to Pastor Allen Jackson's powerful sermons each week, I do, on radio, television, satellite, and online.
00:45:59.000In today's world, there's desperate need for truth.
00:46:02.000And Allen Jackson Ministries feels a sense of urgency to deliver God's truth and a biblical perspective to anyone who will listen.
00:46:14.000Their mission is to help people become more fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ, which is the most important thing, giving your life to the Lord, including here on the Charlie Kirk show.
00:48:14.000In Plano, in Plano, yes, I mean, it's great, but I want that Texas attitude, though, which I don't know where it is, because it doesn't exist right now, because there's something called the Epic City, the East Plano Islamic Community, where they have bought up thousands of acres, and they're building an Islamo-fascist, Islamist-only community.
00:48:36.000where the mosque will be the center of the community.
00:48:50.000And we think conquering only happens with tanks and drones and F-35s, but there's another form of conquering that is much more subtle, that is much more effective, and it's through infiltration, immigration, and maternity wards.
00:50:00.000I just wanted to mention the first mosque, I think, in Santa Barbara County was built in Goleta just a couple years ago, and we're right next to the the UCSB campus where we had the privilege to meet you a while back.
00:50:14.000But to me, it seems like besides the neighborhoods, communities that are being targeted for a strong Muslim presence, they're staking out the campuses in America.
00:50:26.000And I think it might be wise of us to create a counter-strategy where if they're going to come into our territory in that sense, to be very prepared to give counter-arguments or evangelistic outreach to the Muslim presence on so many of our universities.
00:52:14.000With those things, we align with them.
00:52:18.000But they, and also with the other denominations and other faiths.
00:52:22.000We in Las Vegas, in Nevada, we have question six coming on the ballots in 2026, where they want to extend our abortion to term, to birth, to nine months.
00:53:32.000London still has gay pride parades because it is a peace treaty that is administered between the Islamists and the obviously the LGBT mafia.
00:53:46.000Because as the Islamists will, of course, not like and they'll find the gay stuff objectionable, what's more important is the takedown of Christendom.
00:54:35.000So, our degeneracy here in the West, drag queen story hour, transgender operations, men kissing on screen, it actually makes the Muslims more fanatical.
00:54:49.000So this actually, it is a, our degeneracy is a deterrent from them assimilating.
00:54:56.000So what happens is they come here to the West, they see all the degeneracy on TV, and they're like, oh my goodness, all my Wahhabiist friends were right.
00:55:05.000I have to now go to more stricter Islamist views.
00:55:09.000So our degeneracy is actually a radicalization tool for Muslims.
00:55:50.000And the greatest missionary work, missionary catalyst ever is produced out of that church, producing the evangelists of Barnabas and Saul and Paul, and we know what happened from there.
00:57:11.000This is the only country where we can have a freedom of speech, a freedom of religion.
00:57:17.000And we must, on every cost, have to protect this nation, our Christian values.
00:57:26.000And I am very well versed in Islam because right from the grade one all the way to university level, we were forced to read the Quran in Arabic.
00:57:39.000And I know how difficult way I learned that, but I love Jesus Christ.
00:57:49.000He is my Savior and I love this country and thank you very much.
00:58:01.000And not only that, I have two daughters because we love this country and I really told my older daughter that she should join the military.
00:59:19.000What can we as pastors do in our churches to prepare our kids in the way that they prepare theirs?
00:59:26.000Well, again, I think what we're trying to do at Turning Point USA, but look, part of it is of course having them understand Scripture, we know that.
00:59:33.000But they have to have a robust appreciation and understanding of what is western civilization?
