00:00:44.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:52.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:42.000And so we need to ask ourselves the question, what makes Texas so special?
00:01:46.000Why is it that Texas has been one of the most prosperous states, one of the most freest states, and then the envy of the people that are fleeing California?
00:02:39.000But the other thing is that Texas has embraced the principles that have made America a great country, private property rights, free enterprise, freedom of speech.
00:02:48.000But also in Texas, you guys, and you're losing this, I'll be honest.
00:02:52.000There always was an attitude of we're not going to put up with nonsense.
00:03:28.000They rewrote the Second Amendment where it is not, you know, a right of the people to be able to own arms.
00:03:34.000It now says people can own weapons only if they're in a state militia.
00:03:37.000That's in Texas textbooks all across the state.
00:03:40.000And the main kind of message I want to convey to you is you have to get back to the attitude of we are Texas and we're not going to allow coastal values to come in here and destroy our home.
00:04:47.000They come here and then they start nickpicking.
00:04:49.000Like, actually, you've lost your right to complain.
00:04:52.000You come here as a refugee from totalitarianism and from tyranny.
00:04:55.000I'm not going to reaccommodate our entire state to fit, you know, this idea that you want men to be able to go and compete against women in women's sports.
00:05:05.000And I find this tension, which is Texas is almost too good of a state, that you're so attractive to people from these other states that haven't thought very deeply about these ideas that it might actually end up being the death of Texas.
00:05:50.000Obviously, I'm not here to try to make an anti-Abbott speech, but I think we all could agree that Texas deserves even better than what you're currently getting, right?
00:05:57.000I'm not trying to make it seem that it's all negative, it's all bad.
00:05:59.000He does some good things, but I think Ron DeSantis has set the bar of what is possible here to actually do.
00:07:37.000I mean, if I were to kind of list complaints of what I think the governor could do differently, for example, Ron DeSantis has said no CRT in our schools and he's taken over a university, a public, I don't know if you guys know this.
00:07:48.000He took over a taxpayer-funded university and he says, we're going to make it the most conservative school in America.
00:08:09.000Texas used to be comfortably conservative, where you were able to have a Marxist here and a trans activist there, and you kind of shrug your shoulders, like, oh, we're Texas.
00:08:27.000And they do it through the schools, they threw it through culture.
00:08:30.000And, you know, I want to kind of emphasize, you know, one of the most important points here, which is, you know, we're living in a very strange time where the revolution is coming top down.
00:08:39.000It's not coming bottom up, where the powerful people are bludgeoning the normal people and they're not stopping and they're not going to stop anytime soon.
00:08:46.000And I remember I was in a dinner about two years ago here in Houston.
00:08:50.000And it was just the trans stuff was a little bit, you know, on the periphery, but I have had and continue to have very strong opinions about it.
00:08:57.000And this was a wealthy Republican donor.
00:08:59.000If I said his name, many of you would know him, right?
00:09:01.000He gives millions of dollars to causes, lives here in Houston.
00:09:05.000But he said, Charlie, I think what we should try to do is embrace the trans thing as a Republican.
00:09:10.000He said, you know, these people are nice as long as they stay within their lane.
00:09:15.000And I don't think it should be a big issue because he heard one of my speeches and I said that transgenderism is going to corrupt our children.
00:09:49.000And not only is it everywhere that if you do not do exactly what the trans activists want you to do, they're going to try to destroy your life.
00:09:56.000They've kidnapped speakers at turning point USA events, Riley Gaines.
00:10:00.000The death threats we get every single day is unbelievable.
00:10:04.000Not to mention, they corrupt our textbooks and they get to play the oppressed card while they get some of the biggest corporate deals for millions of dollars.
00:10:15.000And they get a whole month dedicated to them and we have to be told that these people are oppressed.
00:10:19.000I think a lot of you have an attitude.
00:10:20.000And to defend this individual that was said this a couple years, I think the attitude that we wish for is the country I grew up in.
00:10:27.000Your own imagination is not my problem.
00:10:29.000This is the way we have to frame the trans thing.
00:11:40.000Because I lived in a short window of this, but a lot.
00:11:43.000And this is the biggest thing I have to deprogram with boomers.
00:11:46.000And I love boomers, but I find a problem here with it, right?
00:11:49.000Is they did grow up in America for 20 or 30 years where you were able to take it easy, where you wouldn't spend your afternoons at events like this, right?
00:11:57.000You raise your kids, you go to church out.
00:12:50.000Massachusetts is doing the same thing.
00:12:52.000Minnesota is about to do the same thing.
00:12:54.000And so the essence of it is that you have to stop these things early.
00:13:00.000I would imagine this stuff is actually pretty far advanced here in Texas, more so than we can realize.
00:13:05.000And so, but that sort of Texas attitude is exactly what we need to get back, which is like, you're a pervert if you go after my kids, and I'm not going to put up with this.
00:13:14.000You might say, well, Charlie, that's kind of mean.
00:13:16.000Yeah, they're evil for going after kids.
00:14:14.000That comes with a different form of problems.
00:14:17.000But even worse than that is becoming a predator or an ally of a predator.
00:14:22.000Here's the norm that is hard for people to agree with, but human history tells us that predators will keep on going unless they are stopped.
00:14:32.000And the Bible, so what did it take to eventually stop the predator in any of these biblical stories?
00:14:39.000Is that a courageous person who is bold, filled with the spirit to go stand up against the evil?
00:14:44.000That's the only thing that stops evil.
00:14:47.000And because there is this accelerationist view where some people say, well, Charlie, there's no way that this stuff can keep on getting as insane as it is.
00:15:48.000There are two things, though, are the greatest and most important pinnacles to create antibodies against pathogens or viruses that come in, because we're all experts on viruses now after the last couple of years.
00:16:02.000And when those two things are suppressed, all of a sudden you have tumors and viruses and bacteria that replicate and take over your entire society.
00:16:10.000Truth and justice are the only two things that have been proven to be able to fight back against viruses trying to take down a civilization.
00:16:39.000In Chicago, if you are a black person, you get way more privileges to go loot and to plunder and to steal than if you're a white suburban person.
00:16:47.000It's happening all across the country.
00:16:49.000So you need truth before you have justice, okay?
00:17:01.000I think that the social media companies suppressing us is a big deal.
00:17:04.000I think that we're seeing a lot of censorship.
00:17:06.000But the number one form of censorship, and Stalin wrote about this in his private journals, he says, I do not have to shut up anybody if I can get people to shut up themselves.
00:17:59.000I think telling the truth matters a lot more than having fake friends, grades that do not matter, or maybe a temporary income where you can end up finding a job where you can actually be who you are.
00:18:54.000It starts with you staying engaged, staying involved for the homeschool moms, the school boards.
00:18:58.000And it is an uncomfortable truth that I communicate when I speak at these events because every so often I'll get a question maybe today, but Charlie, then when do we get our country back?
00:19:07.000And my answer is an uncomfortable one.
00:20:27.000Hi, my name is Ferris from UT San Antonio.
00:20:29.000I wanted to ask: what do you think about all the money managers and Wall Street investment bankers coming down from New York to Texas and Florida?
00:20:37.000Like Kenneth Griffin runs like Citadel and he's moving to Miami.
00:22:02.000So I'm generally not a fan of left-wing enterprises because you know why I'm not a fan of it?
00:22:10.000I'm not a fan of it because now if they have an idea, ideological shift, then that's great.
00:22:16.000Like if these left-wing Goldman Sachs firms say, you know what, we're leaving New York because of the crime, because of the vagrancy, because of the schools, because of the taxes, and we're going to Florida, and now we see the world differently.
00:22:28.000These people leave these states and come to Texas with zero self-awareness as to why this state is more attractive than the hellscape that they actually voted for.
00:22:39.000So that really bothers me, and it should bother you too.
00:22:46.000I've been listening since 2020 and just been more active.
00:22:49.000It's really changed my life, actually.
00:22:50.000So, anyways, I had a question more theological in nature.
00:22:55.000I'm part of the Bible in 365 with your wife, Erica.
00:22:58.000And the live stream QA with Pastor James Cadiz that you did in March, you made this statement, our thoughts don't matter.
00:23:06.000And I, anyways, so I was just had a question just because, you know, we know Jesus was tempted without sin, but also just I had a problem with that with Proverbs, you know, the thought of foolishness is sin.
00:23:17.000And then also, as a man thinketh in his heart, and then Jesus and the new covenant, as we're called to a higher standard, as New Testament believers, Jesus talks about you shall not commit adultery, but also if you look on a woman, it's less after her, whatever.
00:23:29.000So could you just expound more what you meant by that?
00:23:32.000Yeah, that's a great, that's a beautiful question.
00:23:34.000So this is, I get into a lot of heated debates and the fact you're asking it publicly, I'll get into even more.
00:23:40.000I think that the, Let's say the rigid interpretation of these verses have created unnecessary mental torment for a lot of Christians because they know very little about psychology.
00:23:53.000So, the way psychology works, we know this, is there's something called unwanted intrusive thoughts or automatic negative thoughts.
00:23:58.000Every single person in this room has them.
00:24:00.000You're driving on the side of the street, you say, Oh, what would happen if I would pull my car over to the side of the road?
00:24:04.000You can't control these, they pop up, they're weird, they're strange.
00:24:08.000The improper interpretation of those verses is somehow those ideas are part of your identity.
00:24:15.000It's the thoughts that you act on and that you associate that matter.
00:24:19.000So, what I'm trying to do by saying that is I'm trying to make Christians that might have, let's just say, ADHD-type tendencies that have sticky thoughts, thoughts they can't get out of their head, where all of a sudden they're in these thought loops.
00:24:31.000By the way, it's millions of Christians are told by their pastors that those thoughts are demonic or satanic.
00:24:36.000The thoughts might be, but they actually are probably in a negative thought loop pattern.
00:24:41.000It happens to all of us, by the way, that all of a sudden they're thinking they're in a sinful pattern when it's their behavior or the thoughts they identify with that matter a lot.
00:24:53.000If I had a thought that I thought was interesting and I wanted to do that, I wanted to all of a sudden pull my car over and run somebody over.
00:25:01.000But if you have a thought and it's against your values and you attach to it, oh my goodness, that thought scares me.
00:25:08.000God is not holding against that you at all.
00:25:12.000And so, most pastors get this totally wrong because they don't understand, first of all, that people have garbage thoughts, and we call them garbage thoughts in particular.
00:25:22.000But here's what they really don't understand: you have garbage, unwanted, intrusive thoughts that are sticky and remain sticky about things you care about.
00:25:34.000The reason they become sticky in your mind is you think the thought is actually a threat to the thing you care about.
00:25:41.000So, for example, I guarantee every Christian here has had an unwanted, intrusive thought before, sitting in church being like, I could blurt something out right now.
00:26:01.000No, it's what you do with the thought that matters.
00:26:04.000You should laugh it off, scoff at it, right?
00:26:06.000And so, there's a ton of psychological literature to support this, but I can't tell you how many young people email me and they say, Charlie, my pastor says I have to, you know, I have to really repent for these terrible, awful, negative thoughts I'm having.
00:27:01.000I have been so underwhelmed at how the church has no idea what they're doing largely with these topics and these ideas because they'll cherry-pick a verse with no context and understanding exactly what it is.
00:27:11.000If you have a weird or crazy thought that you don't agree with, there's nothing wrong with you.
00:27:16.000In fact, that's as normal as a weird commercial showing up on a TV screen.
00:27:20.000It's what you do with that thought that ends up mattering.
00:28:21.000Neoliberalism is three big ideas that are combined together, which is that we should invade the world, invite the world, and import unlimited amount of foreign products.
00:28:31.000And all three of those things simultaneously are good for us.
00:28:34.000There's some truth that maybe some parts of trade can be helpful for you, but largely the unlimited free trade policies have been bad for the American worker and the American purchasing power.
00:28:45.000Our immigration policies are absolutely insane and destroying the fabric of our country.
00:28:50.000And in my personal opinion, I think it's a tragic mistake to get engaged in this Ukrainian proxy war against Russia.
00:28:57.000I would rather see that money spent on the southern border.
00:29:02.000Obviously, there's some agreement there.
00:29:04.000So neoliberalism, here's the problem, is neoliberalism is largely rejected by all of you, but it's largely embraced by the people you send to Washington, D.C.
00:29:20.000Neoliberalism has proven to be an ideological construct that is better for the people that already have power, wealth, and privilege, and not the people that want to try to make some power, wealth, and privilege for themselves.
00:29:38.000If you own a mega company, it is in your best interest to try to get the lowest wage labor possible, okay?
00:29:45.000I don't necessarily fault them for it, but they want relaxed immigration standards for that.
00:29:50.000It's not the best for you, though, especially even those of you that might have gone to college and you're $100,000 in debt, and now you have to go into a market to go compete against a foreigner, right, that didn't spend the $100,000.
00:30:03.000And so some people might say, oh, that's a free market.
00:30:06.000Yes, it is, but markets should point towards some good, right?
00:30:10.000And when you don't get the good you're desiring, you should have the courage to say, let's put our own graduates first because we have $100,000 in debt and we have a moral obligation to the 19-year-old American more than the 19-year-old person from India.
00:30:22.000The 19-year-old person from India is probably a very sweet person, but our own citizens should get priority over the foreign citizen.
00:30:28.000That is the mantra of America First, right?
00:30:31.000And it has proven to be a very popular political slogan, obviously, but it's philosophically and morally correct, in my opinion.
00:30:40.000So what can the conservative parties that are conservative movement do better or what we're doing wrong?
00:30:46.000Yeah, look, here's my number one thing is I don't think we have, I don't, okay, let me word it this way.
00:30:57.000That I still deal with far too many people, not you, that believe we're dealing with an opposition that means well.
00:31:06.000If there was just one takeaway I could give, I hear it all the time.
00:31:09.000People say, Charlie, you know, we all want the same thing.
00:31:13.000We just have different ways of getting there.
00:31:16.000If you believe that lie, then I think you make a hundred other bad decisions after that.
00:31:21.000You're willing to negotiate in bad peace.
00:31:23.000You're willing to do all the in bad faith and all that.
00:31:26.000But instead, if you believe they want something completely different, which is the fundamental transformation of the American Republic with no borders, a destroyed currency, you know, trans ideology everywhere and cultural Marxism, you should be more skeptical all of a sudden one of the dealing with them, right?
00:31:41.000And again, to defend my parents' generation, we used to live in America where both sides wanted the same thing.
00:31:55.000Again, I don't delight in that, but you would never, no one in this room would ever do a business deal, get into a covenant, get into a relationship, or do a home transaction with somebody you knew that was dealing in bad faith.
00:32:10.000Someone that you have a proven track record where they're not actually trying to accomplish the same mission that you are, whether it be the purchase of a home or a marriage, you'd say, I don't trust you because you want something different than what I do.
00:33:06.000Everyone in this room believes that there is a God and we are not him.
00:33:12.000Regardless of your own religion, almost nobody on the left believes both those two things.
00:33:17.000They might believe there is a God, but I am him.
00:33:20.000Or they might believe that if there was, there is no God, but I'm in charge of everybody.
00:33:25.000So the suitor conservatives realize we're dealing with the other side that does not share your worldview and does not want what you want, I think it'll be very liberating in more ways than one.
00:35:49.000The Lord has blessed us and me in a way where we're now playing a very big part, right?
00:35:55.000But if you are saying, oh, and here, the only part of the question I want to make sure I clarify is that sometimes people say, but Charlie, I can never make as big of a difference as you.
00:36:05.000Well, I actually don't know if that's true.
00:36:08.000Because if I would have had that belief 11 years ago, when then, I don't know, Newt Gingrich was talking, well, then all this amazing work at Turning Point would not exist, right?
00:36:42.000Hey, Charlie, my name is Howard Barker, and I'm with the Harris County Republican Party and the Party of Texas.
00:36:48.000I really want to thank you for what you're doing here to help us out in Texas.
00:36:52.000I also want to let you know that we have a formal program to try to promote and support conservative clubs on high school campuses like you're doing, and we're available to do that.
00:37:02.000I wanted to try to pick up on an earlier question that asked, what specifically can we do to change things, to help things?
00:37:12.000And they asked for four or five things.
00:37:15.000And I think the first thing we can do is to join a Republican group.
00:37:19.000Get current information on a regular basis.
00:37:21.000There are lots of clubs that meet weekly and monthly.
00:38:12.000Hi, I'm Caitlin, and I would like to ask you a question about puberty blockers specifically because I was on them for a several amount of years for a different medical condition.
00:38:22.000I wanted to know, how do we erase and remove these usage, the usage of puberty blockers?
00:38:30.000If you don't mind me asking, would you agree they're pretty savage pharmacological agents?
00:38:37.000They've left me with permanent irreversible damage.
00:39:57.000I'm just kind of speechless at your courage because so to get, just so you understand, tens of thousands of young girls are being prescribed these every quarter that we know of, right?
00:40:11.000For what probably is just misdiagnosed puberty anxiety, probably, right?
00:40:16.000That could be rectified with counseling or time or patience.
00:40:20.000And so this is not a small, isolated thing.
00:40:22.000But so Lupron, even if somebody has prostate cancer, it basically brings your testosterone production down to zero and suppresses all your natural hormone production tendencies.
00:40:35.000And so I'm going to actually have you answer the question.
00:40:38.000What would your message be then to the world where they say, but it's the loving thing to give a 13-year-old Lupron?
00:42:53.000They're enthusiastic supporters of the new, forget the, you know, forget the Atlantic slave trade.
00:42:59.000We now have the Southern Triangle slave trade that is coming through America.
00:43:03.00087,000 kids that are in sex trades, prostitutes working in factories right now.
00:43:08.000Look, what you can do, and you guys, I don't understand the excuse why Greg Abbott has not put a middle finger to Joe Biden and has militarized the Texas National Guard, had 100,000 people with tanks.
00:44:49.000And some of the classes we had to do, in the first week, we had to talk about our political affiliation in front of the class.
00:44:56.000And I thought it would be fine until after I spoke that I was a conservative and I didn't believe in all the leftist pushing that schools are teaching today.
00:45:05.000I would not be taken seriously ever again in that class in any of my classes.
00:45:10.000And so, I mean, I decided to drop out.
00:45:12.000And like, there are a lot of conservative kids at Collin College that they can't be, like, they just can't speak out because they don't want to be targeted by the majority of the leftist students there.
00:45:22.000And there are a huge majority there that are very violent.
00:45:26.000And they, like, if you say something that they don't agree with, they will, like, they will assault you.
00:46:33.000Well, then, what's your definition of truth?
00:46:36.000So make it a challenge as you return to class this fall to be super 20,000 hours is not physically possible before the fall, but you get to 2,000.
00:47:40.000And I think that's important because we are living in very difficult times, as the other speakers have said.
00:47:47.000Like there's evil forces out there trying to battle humanity and end up all the good that we have.
00:47:55.000I feel that it is important for me to represent because as a Mexican gay immigrant that lived five years in San Francisco, and I used to think of myself as a liberal person, I can really say that they are no longer, even though I do think that most Democrat people are good people, I do think that they don't know anymore what they are defending.
00:48:17.000And because let's just say, they say that grooming children and telling them that changing their gender is correct and then mutilating their body is correct.
00:48:28.000That is not correct, and that is not the solution.
00:48:31.000So that's where I draw my line as a gay person.
00:48:37.000But anyway, this is a long discussion, I know.
00:48:40.000My question goes more related to in the last two years, we have seen a lot of news and mainstream media trying to censor the truth in many, many, many fields.
00:48:54.000Medical professionals and people in all areas.
00:48:58.000And if you don't go along with the narrative that they want to do, they are going to censor us.
00:49:03.000But that, if I understand correctly what I understand of this country, goes against the amendments, right?
00:49:09.000So how, why haven't we really been able to protect our rights?
00:49:14.000And why haven't we been able to stop the authorities when they are not following the rules?
00:49:31.000So yes, the First Amendment, Congress shall make no law prohibiting the free exercise of religion or freedom of speech or freedom of assembly.
00:49:38.000However, if you're a private company, you're not, that doesn't apply to you.
00:49:42.000Where it gets tricky, though, and what we need to then emphasize, why did the federal government then, why were they allowed to then shut us up?
00:50:14.000When the Federal Bureau of Investigation actively went to Twitter and met on a weekly basis to shut up my Twitter account, that's against the law.
00:50:22.000That's the government breaking the law.
00:50:25.000And that needs to be exploited in the courts.
00:50:27.000And people need to go to jail for a very, very long time for what they did.
00:50:31.000Because the government is not allowed to shut you up.
00:50:34.000They're not allowed to shut you up through proxy or through ally or through a wink and a nod or through an affiliate.
00:50:47.000Censorship is a key ingredient in the formula for the totalitarian takeover.
00:50:54.000This is why you might love him or hate him or think I have a very, I think, nuanced view where I find things objectionable about him, but also interesting and important.
00:51:03.000Elon Musk buying Twitter is without a doubt a glitch in their censorship matrix.
00:51:09.000And Rumble being on the scene and being a YouTube competitor is a very good thing.
00:51:16.000They need to be able to stop dissident ideas.
00:51:19.000They call dissident ideas disinformation, when in reality, it's information they don't like.
00:51:25.000It's ideas that don't fit their narrative.
00:51:28.000It is, I believe, a crime against humanity that we for years were not able to have a robust discussion online about early treatments for the Chinese coronavirus.
00:52:07.000Pax Lovid brought to you by Pfizer as an early treatment.
00:52:10.000Oh, now we can talk about treatments after you made your billions of dollars mandating the vaccine that doesn't work and isn't safe and is not effective.
00:52:18.000Now you guys can do early treatment saves lives.
00:52:21.000I mean, this is criminal, evil, diabolical type behavior that this regime has engaged in.
00:52:28.000But the censorship thing drives me nuts.
00:52:31.000But the censorship of the 2020 election, the censorship of Hunter Biden's laptop, right?
00:52:37.000We were not allowed to talk about Hunter Biden's laptop for a whole month leading up until you might say, Charlie, what do you mean not allowed to?
00:52:43.000I lost access to my Twitter account because I mentioned the Hunter Biden laptop.
00:52:49.000I could not get into my Twitter account for two weeks because they said I was a spreader of disinformation.
00:52:54.000They said it's not true that Hunter Biden left the laptop in Delaware.
00:53:11.000I certainly don't have time here, but I would love to see some Republican attorneys general to start use handcuffs and subpoenas and perp walks for these criminals that have abused their power.
00:53:34.000So it was quite a culture shock going to community college.
00:53:39.000And my first semester, I'm a theater major, and my theater class is showing I'll be clean and say drag shows and saying this can be your job and showing my sociology class will show picture of a nude man and saying this is the culture of this tribe.
00:54:01.000And I have a classmate who has a professor who has weed growing in their classroom.
00:54:09.000How do we stop these crazy liberal professors?
00:54:13.000I mean, look, I'm going to keep on saying the same thing.
00:54:36.000Like, seriously, that's just weird, okay?
00:54:38.000I mean, it might work in Austin, I guess.
00:54:40.000And I mean, people might say, well, Charlie, isn't that, you know, too heavy-handed?
00:54:44.000I'm sick of losing beautiful places in America.
00:54:47.000And I'm sick of losing Texas and Georgia and Arizona because they are the ones that are allowed to be forceful.
00:54:54.000And they're the ones that are allowed to push this ideology.
00:54:56.000Now, you mentioned something very interesting.
00:54:58.000I used to make fun of theater majors, no offense, of that you'll never be able to find jobs.
00:55:02.000With the new drag queen thing, I actually think the left is going to have a lot of jobs for theater majors now.
00:55:09.000I mean, think of all the libraries that kids need to have, you know, people torque in front of them.
00:55:14.000Yeah, no, it's a boom industry, actually.
00:55:16.000They're shutting down the Permian Basin, but they're going to replace the jobs, all the fossil fuel jobs gone with men in thongs in front of 11-year-olds, which is happening thousands of times across the country, by the way.
00:55:28.000So, look, thank you for being involved, and I'm glad you were homeschooled.
00:55:34.000We need actually conservatives in theater.
00:55:48.000It is not enough that you say, because again, all of us, I think, are comfortable within America where you make your own personal decisions.
00:55:56.000And I don't want to overly police that, right?
00:56:05.000And that tolerance quickly becomes that you must personally accept it, even if it's against your values.
00:56:11.000And then you must celebrate it, where they say, Where is your pride flag in your window for a whole month?
00:56:16.000Why aren't you showing up for the parade?
00:56:18.000Like, I thought this was about tolerance.
00:56:19.000Now it's mandatory celebration, and then it's mandatory participation.
00:56:26.000That you must actively be engaged in participating in the exercise of whatever type of thing they're doing.
00:56:34.000We here love freedom, we love liberty, so we actually don't think a lot of our mind space is not dominated by people that disagree with us halfway around the world, right?
00:56:45.000But right now, right now, there are groups of trans activists in San Francisco that are super worried that 300 people are meeting in Harris County and why they don't see the world the way they do.
00:56:57.000These people have more evangelistic zeal than Christian missionaries did in the 1800s about finding lost indigenous tribes for the gospel.
00:57:06.000The only problem is that they're not selling the salt and light and the good word.
00:57:11.000These people are selling things from the pit of hell.
00:57:34.000If you're a student and you are not yet running a turning point chapter, please do that and start a turning point chapter, high school chapter, or college chapter.
00:57:43.000If you are a parent, I implore you that if you can, if you can, if you can, to take your kid out of government school, I'm not telling you what to do, but if you send your kid to government school, you're playing Russian roulette with their values.
00:57:56.000We're not going to send our daughter to government school.
00:57:59.000If you have to send your kid to government school, then you got to be a 24-7 operation overseeing curriculum, running for school board.
00:58:28.000There's other great podcasts too you guys can listen to that you could, but that which you do not understand, you cannot save, okay?
00:58:36.000And the key, I think one of the keys to saving America to turning around this country is going to be millions of people that do not know each other, but believe that there's other people that are doing the same thing as them that are doing dutiful action every single day, doing the hard work, the long work.
00:58:56.000You know, I get asked often, they say, Well, Charlie, the country is falling apart.
00:59:00.000And I say that attitude is exactly why we're in the mess that we are in.
00:59:04.000Martin Luther famously said that even if the world was ending today, I would still plant an apple tree.
00:59:09.000Even if you believe the country is falling apart, which is past the point of salvation, which I don't believe it is, you would still do the thing that will help the next generation be able to thrive and succeed.
00:59:19.000To end on a spiritual note, many of you believe in a God that loves you, but also a God that expects something from you.
00:59:28.000As an act of worship to that God, I implore you to read the scriptures correctly, that God cares whether or not you fight for the community around you.
