00:00:09.000Hey, everybody, we are crisscrossing the country to help get the president re-elected.
00:00:12.000I'm heading to Minnesota right as you are listening to this podcast right now.
00:00:17.000So we have a huge weekend roster coming up.
00:00:20.000We interviewed Sarah Huckabee Sanders as our sister episode.
00:00:22.000It's about 3.30 in the morning as we are finishing up all the editing and traveling for the day.
00:00:27.000So we are happy to be able to air this incredible conversation that went viral online of my conversation at 412 Church in San Jacinto, California with Pastor Tom Hughes.
00:00:38.000We talk about fascism, Marxism, Donald Trump, so many different topics.
00:00:43.000You guys are going to really enjoy it.
00:00:44.000And if you guys want to support our program, please go to charliekirk.com/slash support at charliekirk.com/slash support.

00:00:59.000If this podcast has touched you at all, please go to charliekirk.com/slash support and please consider supporting us and supporting the work we are doing here on the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:01:24.000We are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:30.000If you fit a specific type of dogma that fits their narrative, then you can have as big of a gathering as you want and you will not be enforced.
00:01:36.000However, if you gather and assemble as people of God or as believers, all of a sudden they're able to use any sort of means necessary to shut you down, to intimidate you, and to silence you.
00:01:46.000All the while, cannabis dispensaries remain open, abortion factories remain open, drugstores and liquor stores remain open, Lowe's and Home Depot remain open, yet people cannot assemble to be able to worship their God, be able to worship Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
00:03:02.000So I have the feeling that's going to happen a lot this evening.
00:03:05.000So with that, when I look at church and being friends with Jack and Tim Thompson and some others, James Cadiz, and looking at it, when I reason through the reason why we opened when we did, and just being shut for a few weeks, was when you look at the church, Hebrews chapter 10, verse 25, do not forsake the assembling together, which is what you were just talking about.
00:03:29.000And all the more as you see the day approaching.
00:03:31.000So the thought in my mind as a pastor and looking at prophetic things, because that's kind of what I do.
00:03:37.000When I look at that, it appears to me we're watching the day approaching.
00:03:41.000That is a commandment probably today for today more than any other time.
00:03:46.000And the church is not, like, I was told constantly, Charlie, help me work through this, that it's okay to be a church at YouTube, your own biological, earthly family at home.
00:04:24.000Because church exists, someone will say, how can I help you?
00:04:26.000When it's nothing more than a YouTube live stream, that kind of fellowship, that kind of social safety net, that kind of friends looking out for friends disappears and evaporates altogether.
00:04:33.000You need that more than ever when you have 30 million people out of work, when you're in the midst of a crisis.
00:04:37.000You need Christians supporting other believers.
00:04:40.000And when you just say that is irrelevant, basically what you are doing, which a lot of these very weak pastors are doing, and I think they should all resign if they don't open their churches immediately.
00:05:00.000Is basically what they are saying is that the church is nothing more than a 90-minute message.
00:05:06.000And all of the other components of the church, the gathering, the counseling, the shepherding, the answers, the questioning can be fulfilled by the state or by government.
00:05:15.000Make no mistake, this has been a diabolical multi-decade campaign to shut down the church.
00:05:20.000They've wanted this for a very long time.
00:05:22.000They're getting closer than ever to succeed.
00:05:23.000And what's been very disappointing for me as a believer who's in politics and as someone who fights this every single day is how complicit and willing the church has been to go along with this.
00:05:34.000It has been frustrating beyond I could possibly put into words of how these pastors have abdicated their, quite honestly, the commission.
00:05:50.000I do two podcasts a day, one on the weekend.
00:05:52.000We do more podcasting than any other Christian conservative team out there.
00:05:56.000And I get thousands of emails from young people that are saying, Charlie, because of you, I want to go back to church, but I can't.
00:06:01.000And for the pastors out there that keep your doors closed, there's a young person that might not have committed suicide if you would have opened your church.
00:06:08.000There's a young person that could have found the teachings of Jesus Christ if you would open your church.
00:06:18.000And we should think to ourselves, how many people could have been in the kingdom of God?
00:06:21.000How many people could have found Jesus Christ if we would have had the boldness and the conviction to open up our churches during that entire season?
00:06:29.000We didn't know what we were dealing with.
00:06:30.000I understand closing for a couple of weeks because based on all the experts and the prognosticators, we were dealing with something that very well could have wiped out our entire species based on how alarmist it was.
00:06:39.000But God tells us very clearly to step with wisdom, James 1, 5, ask God for wisdom for which he gives generously.
00:06:46.000And wisdom is the capacity to differentiate between foolishness and falsehoods and the correct path to move forward.
00:06:51.000We say, oh, wow, here's the mortality rate.
00:06:54.000Maybe we can open the church and continue to gather and we'll do so responsibly.
00:06:57.000And as we've got more data, we realized we could gather even bigger and bigger.
00:07:01.000But this fact the church has gone into such this dogmatic position of this, where we are going to do whatever the state, local, and federal governments say, no matter what.
00:07:10.000It's we might not even open until January or February, some of these churches have said, I think is a complete and total disgrace to what we are called to do as believers.
00:07:45.000No, and they are talking about, you mentioned January or February.
00:07:48.000I'm hearing not even opening up till possibly the end of 2021.
00:07:51.000I'm thinking that you're already making that decision.
00:07:53.000So where, what are you really doing as a pastor?
00:07:56.000The other thing I see, and this is what I, a conviction that I feel, when I know business owners, whether they own restaurants or barbershops or spas or whatever it is that they own, these are people who are working hard, trying to make a living.
00:08:12.000And I feel if I can't even open as a church, when I have certain opportunities as a pastor to be able to open that they don't, they've got other issues with health departments and things like that.
00:08:23.000I feel like, look, being open as a church strengthens the entire community when you do that.
00:08:29.000And what's incredible is that what we're doing here tonight is actually, unlike a gym, is actually explicitly protected in the United States Constitution, where it's the free expression clause.
00:08:39.000And the fact that these little micro-tyrants that run the California Department of Health think they can come in and start shutting us down.
00:08:45.000There's a very explicit clause in them.
00:08:46.000It only took us one amendment to get to it.
00:08:48.000And you could tell them to go the other direction because we have a God-given right to be able to assemble.
00:08:52.000And we're going to get into this tonight, but this is such an incredible step forward for humanity, what the United States of America did, which is recognizing that our rights are given to us by government, but by God.
00:09:08.000No, no, actually, most of human history didn't have it that way.
00:09:10.000Most of human history had where you were a serf that go fought other people's wars.
00:09:14.000You lived through a 32, you probably died of typhus.
00:09:16.000You may have a couple kids if you're lucky, and then your kids also fight in other people's wars, and you live an awful and miserable, brutish, and short life.
00:09:24.000And then all of a sudden, the teachings of Jesus Christ spread all across the world.
00:09:27.000This idea of individual rights, the idea of your individual necessity to atone for your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
00:09:35.000And as a byproduct of that, because of the Great Awakening in the 1730s and 1740s, great questions were started to be asked.
00:09:41.000It's like, wait a second, we're depraved by nature.
00:09:54.000And he wrote this amazing book called Common Sense, which really was just the gasoline on the fire that lit the entire American Revolution, where the founders of this country learned under Whitfield.
00:10:05.000And they heard these sermons from activist pastors that built this country where they were ready to be able to rebel against tyranny for the kingdom of God, for natural rights, liberty, and for freedom.
00:10:16.000So what we're experiencing here is a very short moment in time, and we can screw it up.
00:10:20.000And we're getting close to, by the way, we are close to losing this gift.
00:10:23.000There is no guarantee that this thing is going to continue.
00:10:25.000In fact, it's actually a greater guarantee this thing is going to deteriorate if you look at just what human beings are likely to do, which is to screw up good things we have been given.
00:10:33.000Don't believe me, read the Old Testament.
00:10:34.000It only happened about six times, right?
00:10:36.000Which is basically you create the nation of Israel, you disobey God, you get scattered, you go into wilderness, then you reassemble yourself, you build the nation of God, then you disobey.
00:10:47.000And that kind of feels like you're every day, doesn't it?
00:10:49.000Where by 9 a.m., you're already so discombobulated, and then all of a sudden this beautiful covenant, Jesus Christ, comes and says, surrender yourself.
00:11:07.000Good Ranchers is a phenomenal service.
00:11:09.000It began with the standard of bringing top quality, 100% American-born, raised, and harvested meat to families across America.
00:11:16.000This vision was instilled into them from their grandparents that owned community grocery stores and believed in trust, charity, and family values.
00:11:23.000Goodranchers.com partners directly with only American ranchers from across the United States to bring the highest quality meat straight to your door.
00:11:31.000Goodranchers.com, that's goodranchers with an S.com, gets 100% American raised beef straight to your door.
00:11:47.000Americans on average throw away 40% of all meat purchased from grocery store due to spoilage with GoodRanchers with an S.com, cutting-edge technology.
00:12:21.000While you were talking, just thinking about some of the things that you were sharing and the reality of how close I believe we really are to losing this freedom.
00:12:30.000Still, with churches shutting down, if churches capitulated that easy, then what about the rest of the country and losing the freedoms that we have bothers me?
00:12:41.000And with this, I want to define some terms because we're going to start going into some really difficult things for people to deal with right now.
00:12:50.000You mentioned activist pastors from centuries past.
00:12:53.000Right now, we're told, well, we can't do something like that.
00:12:57.000Rob McCoy, Jack Kivs, Pastor Tim, James Gadifs, myself, other pastors around the country that are saying, wait, no, we're going to stand up.
00:13:56.000And this whole idea of right and left, and I use the left just interchangeably because it's very, we all understand what that means, but it's actually an inaccurate term if you look at an actual spectrum that is supposed to measure what is on the political continuum.
00:14:07.000So what does that actually mean, fascism?
00:14:08.000It means that government does not necessarily own the means of production, but government can control the livelihoods, freedoms, capacity, and decisions of a population.
00:14:17.000And even more, so a really interesting example of this of fascism is exactly what is happening in this state when it comes to people of faith, if you dare disagree.
00:14:25.000A sort of soft fascism is when 71% of people in our country feel as if they are going to lose their job if they speak their mind.
00:14:45.000It's a little bit philosophically different than socialist, and I can get into the difference of that because we use these terms so often, but they're not dissimilar.
00:14:52.000They both rely on the heavy hand of government to be able to effectuate social change.
00:14:57.000So a very popular example of what a fascist would look like would be Benito Mussolini, for example.
00:15:02.000Now, he's not dissimilar from Joseph Stalin, but he would nationalize the businesses to work for the benefit of the wealthy few.
00:15:09.000In a lot of ways, that is exactly what the Democrat Party is trying to do in this country, where they want Amazon, Apple, Google, and Facebook to work for their benefit, not necessarily to eradicate it or nationalize it, which would be more of a socialist position, but they'd want to have this incumbent advantage of a corporate class that would benefit them.
00:15:26.000And so fascism is, in some ways, not more dangerous, but it's more sneaky than socialism because fascism is very, and this is really, what's really interesting is we get accused of being fascist all the time, which is what it's incredibly Orwellian, which it's not just a lie, it's the opposite of the truth.
00:15:41.000So let me tell you what I mean by Orwellian.
00:15:43.000And I think it's really important we understand what this means.
00:15:46.000So a lie is usually one to two to five degrees away from the truth.
00:15:50.000Something called double speak, which George Orwell, an author from the 1940s, wrote the famous book 1984 on Animal Farm.
00:15:57.000He came up with this new term called double-speaker, double-think.
00:16:45.000And there's also a term called gaslighting.
00:16:47.000I can get into gaslighting too, which is exactly what's happening in real time in our country.
00:16:51.000It's a play that takes place in the 1880s, London, where a husband was manipulating his wife where he was turning down the light every evening.
00:16:59.000And the wife said, Why is it getting darker?
00:17:01.000And he said, You're losing your mind and it's not getting darker, right?
00:17:04.000Is that you get that feeling every so often where you just see things incrementally changing?
00:17:08.000And they're like, Oh, no, you're crazy.
00:17:10.000Like, no, actually, I can see exactly what's happening in front of us.
00:17:13.000And so that's the best way to define fascism.
00:17:16.000Here's a really good rule: if you have to use a blunt force object to get someone to convince you of something, you probably have a bad argument.
00:17:38.000They are the ones that are going out with before the mask craze.
00:17:42.000They were always masks because only cowards don't want to show their true identity publicly.
00:17:45.000If you're afraid of your face being shown, then you're afraid of actually the ideas that you espouse.
00:17:50.000I think that in social media in particular, the rise of anonymous accounts has really been dangerous to our social discourse and to how we actually interact with each other.
00:17:58.000Because if there's no accountability, people will do anything, right?
00:18:01.000It's kind of that old thing: if you had an invisibility cloak, what would you do to somebody?
00:18:04.000It's very, very dangerous from a moral perspective.
00:18:06.000And so you look at Antifa, they say, oh, we're fighting against fascism.
00:18:10.000And if you don't agree with us, we're going to bash you over the head.
00:18:13.000And so let me just give you an example.
00:18:14.000And if there's any moderates or Democrats watching this, I'm just going to walk you through this.
00:18:17.000I was in the White House Thursday evening, and during the president's speech, I heard all these protesters outside.
00:18:34.000So for me, I heard the protesting outside.
00:18:36.000I was able to carefully avoid all these people.
00:18:38.000However, I knew exactly what was about to happen and what the Washington, D.C. mayor was creating, which was 4,000 armed and masked vigilantes that would collide with the biggest donors, senators, and political connected individuals of the RNC.
00:18:53.000And that's not going to end well, right?
00:19:09.000I want you to imagine President Barack Obama giving a dress at the White House.
00:19:13.000And 2,000 of his closest political people walk outside of the White House and 4,000 conservatives are waiting for those people and assault them and scream at them in the face and call them awful names and harass them and chase them through the streets.
00:19:25.000Do you think anyone would tolerate that?
00:19:27.000In fact, it would be so unspeakable in the moral conduct, right?
00:19:31.000We would all have to have this decade-long apology tour and it would be known as the DC clash.
00:19:38.000And yet this happened just a couple nights ago, and we just move on and we're used to it.
00:19:43.000And I'm telling you right now, these people are trying to provoke a conflict in the streets of our country.
00:19:52.000Could you imagine if we waited outside of events for Joe Biden and harassed these people and chased them home and assaulted them and threw objects at sitting U.S. senators instead of Senator Ram Paul?
00:20:01.000Imagine if Senator Bernie Sanders was assaulted in the streets.
00:20:03.000Do you think anyone would tolerate that?
00:20:05.000In fact, it's Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and the entire Democrat Party that said it's a peaceful protest outside there.
00:20:13.000And here's the dangerous part of this, and they know exactly what they're doing.
00:20:17.000The left is trying to provoke us so far that they want a physical response in the streets.
00:20:21.000And we're so decent and we're so reasonable, we're not giving them that.
00:20:25.000In fact, they're the ones that are burning down our entire civilization, and they're now seeing themselves suffer electorally and politically because of it.
00:20:31.000But make no mistake, Antifa is a very legitimate threat in our country.
00:20:34.000They have basically taken over the cities of Seattle and Portland.
00:20:37.000They are a domestic terror organization that is the opposite of anti-fascists.
00:20:46.000Social media companies get to decide what content is suitable for all the sensitive snowflakes out there and censor whatever they don't like.
00:20:53.000Shouldn't you be the one to decide what you want to read or not, not them?
00:20:57.000Well, here's one thing you can control, their access to your data.
00:22:15.000I could take two-hour lectures on some of these things.
00:22:19.000I'm going to start loading up questions.
00:22:21.000So Marxism, obviously going back to the author of Marxism, Karl Marx himself, wrote the Communist Manifesto, which was an economic analysis that was basically rooted in the idea of zero-sum game economics.
00:23:05.000This is something that he observed incorrectly, and he wrote an entire economic thesis about it.
00:23:09.000Karl Marx also believes something that is very, very dangerous.
00:23:12.000And this is where I get really upset with a lot of Republican politicians because we're missing the whole part, the whole kind of the point here, which is what's happening in our country right now is a conversation on human nature.
00:23:37.000In fact, the entire Bible is trying to reconcile and solve that problem.
00:23:40.000The only way you solve it is through total and complete surrender and acceptance of Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, right?
00:23:46.000However, Karl Marx disagreed with this.
00:23:49.000So Karl Marx disagreed with the Hobbesian view of nature.
00:23:52.000And if you guys ever know the comic Calvin and Hobbes, it's always kind of very dark humor.
00:23:57.000It's called Calvin and Hobbes because John Calvin and Thomas Hobbes both had the same view of human nature, which is that humans in a state of nature, it's nasty, nasty, brutish, and short.
00:24:04.000They're actually really awful to each other, more awful to each other than we could ever possibly imagine.
00:24:08.000So that's actually why the comic is called that.
00:24:10.000And so, however, Karl Marx and the left today, they believe human beings are wonderful in the state of nature.
00:25:58.000So this is exactly what's happening here.
00:26:00.000It's actually good versus evil and light versus dark in real form.
00:26:03.000And again, the church has been so blind or miseducated to realize their role in this conversation.
00:26:09.000If you believe human beings are good by nature, then your commandment is to destroy the society around you, and then you think that good will come.
00:26:20.000If you think human beings are bad by nature, it's trying to punish the evil, teach the good, and incentivize the good.
00:26:27.000That's what we've done in the West, and we've done it really, really well.
00:26:30.000And yet now we're trying to disassemble all that because they think they can bring about heaven on earth, which is the end of the communist manifesto.
00:26:36.000It's the end of Marx's teaching, which we don't talk about enough.
00:26:40.000We talk about total government control and all this, but Marx, at the end of his book, he talked about a stateless heaven on earth.
00:26:47.000He believes that it can be achieved, which is a sin in and of itself to believe that we can create heaven here on earth, but we can get really close to hell.
00:27:34.000You have to teach them how to be good.
00:27:35.000You have to instruct them in the ways, and it's a daily exercise.
00:27:38.000And so this is a very important starting point, and we've missed it.
00:27:43.000And I think it's actually, in my opinion, the Galatians 3 model right now, which is the laws as school teacher of Christ, where we are going to bring more people to the kingdom of God by just basically starting Genesis 1 through 10, basically.
00:27:55.000Cain and Abel, Adam and Eve, what are the basics of who we are on this planet?
00:27:59.000And then you have the agree upon problems, then we can fast forward to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
00:28:03.000And I'm not saying the rest of the Old Testament is irrelevant, but what we're having right here is a complete and total repudiation and rejection in our country of what built our country, which is an acceptance of Genesis 1 through 10.
00:28:14.000And if we deviate away from that, and all of a sudden then we make the argument for them that church is not essential, Jesus might not be that important, and salvation might not be that important.
00:28:30.000I look at this from the biblical standpoint and what the Bible does inform us is coming.
00:28:35.000I believe in the near future when you start looking at the tribulation judgments.
00:28:40.000And for anybody who's not familiar with the prophecies in the Bible about what's coming in Revelation chapter six, there's prophecies about what's called the four horsemen of the apocalypse.
00:28:51.000You have the white horse, which represents this peacemaker.
00:28:54.000You have the red horse, which represents war.
00:28:56.000You have a black horse, which represents a radical imbalance of all of the world.
00:29:02.000And when you look at it and you study it, you have a few elite people at the top that are doing well.
00:29:10.000And you have everybody else is made equal, but they're made equally poor.
00:29:15.000In Revelation chapter 6, it says, when the judgment comes, it's a day's wage for a loaf of bread, but do not harm the oil or the wine.
00:29:23.000Hence, the elite at the top are doing fine.
00:29:36.000So in times of crisis, trends that were already pre-existing accelerate.
00:29:39.000And so, for example, this is why you've seen the wealthiest people in this country add $200 billion to the net worth over the last couple of months.
00:29:46.000And that's why you see the poorest individuals and the working class Americans have gone more into debt and are struggling more.
00:29:52.000So whatever trends are happening before a crisis, a crisis is nothing more than an accelerant behind it, right?
00:29:57.000And so what you're seeing right now in this country from economic terms and also from material terms is very, very troubling.
00:30:04.000And this is one of the reasons why it's so imperative to get the president re-elected, because if you do not have a vibrant or sustainable middle class in a country, the entire civilization will be overturned.
00:30:15.000If you do not have what Aristotle calls the golden mean, right, which is the middle, it's almost like Goldilocks and the three bears, like too hot, too cold, just perfect, right?
00:30:23.000It's the best way I can explain it in simple terms, where it's just people that are right in the middle income, that have three to four kids, that don't have to go into debt, they believe in your society, they don't commit crimes, they live a good and ethical life.
00:30:35.000Those are the people that if all of a sudden they no longer have a belief in your system, the system will be completely and totally revolutionized quicker than you could possibly imagine.
00:30:44.000And there's been a lot of reasons for this.
00:30:47.000And I could get into the political elite reasons, but one of the major reasons, and this is really what's happening in our country right now, is we're getting much closer.
00:30:54.000We're not getting close to socialism yet.
00:30:56.000In some ways, we are in a state and local level, but more nationally, we're getting much closer to a kleptocratic government, which is a government by the few, the wealthy, the well-connected, and the elites.
00:31:05.000And that's a very, very dangerous way to go.
00:31:09.000And that's in some ways, I don't want to say more dangerous than socialism because I wouldn't make that argument, but it is also very dangerous.
00:31:17.000When I look at the government at the last days, that is really a government that is described there also.
00:31:25.000With the ever-increasing number of makes, fiat, kia, and models, Pacific X-T5, it is now impossible to stock all the parts you need in a traditional chain storefront.
00:31:34.000Why endure often pointless and seemingly intimidating questioning?
00:31:38.000And wait while the counterman orders the parts on his computer, choosing the only brand his warehouse happens to carry.
00:31:45.000You have computers with access to rockauto.com and in your pocket.
00:31:49.000One reason to repair and maintain your cars is to save money that you can then use for other important things like mortgages or food.

00:32:41.000Make sure you type in the Charlie Kirk show and tell them that we brought you in the ask.
00:33:20.000I'm also happy to talk about why Christians should support Donald Trump, and I'm happy to build that out by someone who actually knows the president, not just someone who talks on TV professionally about someone they've never met.
00:33:31.000So, but look, if Joe Biden wins, here's something that's very important.
00:33:34.000And people ask me all the time, and I got this from the great Dennis Prager, and he said it in passing.
00:33:39.000And it was such an amazing thing that he said that I just keep on repeating.
00:33:44.000Where people say all the time, Charlie, do you think we're going to win or lose?
00:33:47.000And I know you're not asking because of this, but some people ask because they kind of want the betting odds and they kind of want to hedge their own involvement.
00:33:56.000And they're kind of being like, if you think we're going to lose, can I be a little less involved?
00:34:01.000Can I, can I, if you think we're going to lose, I can kind of go back to my life.
00:34:05.000The probability of victory is no excuse for your involvement.
00:34:08.000It actually is completely and totally irrelevant to how hard you fight for truth.
00:34:23.000So therefore, there's no excuse at all whatsoever not to contest for truth and not to fight for what is right and for what is good and what is pure in this world.
00:34:30.000And so if Biden wins, and I'm just, I'm just going to, I'm not trying to be alarmist or instill fear, but you're going to have a group of people take over our government that will truly try to execute a plan that will come after every single one, every single person in this room, every person that believes in the Bible, that is conservative, that owns firearms.
00:34:48.000You will have the most radical administration in American history.
00:34:52.000They will close down the embassy in Jerusalem.
00:34:54.000They'll give the Golan Heights back to Syria.
00:34:57.000They'll open up the southern border completely and totally.
00:35:01.000They will do nothing against child sex trafficking because Obama did nothing against it for eight years.
00:35:06.000They will allow the absolute legalization of every single drug you can imagine around the country.
00:35:10.000They're going to confiscate your firearms.
00:35:12.000They'll have younger, more radical versions of Ruth Bader Ginsburg on every single court of every single level that you could possibly imagine.
00:35:17.000They're going to use executive power and destroy the filibuster, 51 votes in the Senate, put forth Medicare for all, Green New Deal, Amnesty for Illegal Aliens, everything you could possibly imagine done in almost 10 seconds or less.
00:35:28.000And that's just going to be the starting 90 days.
00:35:32.000That's just, that's what they're telling us they're going to do.
00:35:34.000This is their publicly declared game plan.
00:35:37.000And so, if that's not conviction enough for every single person watching this, which is thousands of people and every person here, to fight with everything you possibly have to contest for truth right here and right now in our country, my goodness.
00:35:49.000I mean, we have an opportunity right now to support a president that did move the embassy, recognized the Golan Heights, repealed the Iran deal, Gorsuch Kavanaugh, 200 circuit court judges, securing the southern border, arresting child sex traffickers, defending people of faith.
00:36:02.000Most pro-life president in American history, by the way, most pro-life president in American history.
00:36:08.000I think we have a moral obligation to support that fighter.
00:36:12.000It's like when Jesus talks to his disciples about praying and why pray, and your heavenly father already knows what you have, what your needs are, but ask him anyways.
00:36:26.000In the same way with righteousness, listen, I can read the Bible and I know that there's bad stuff coming, but I also know at the end, Jesus wins, and this is going to be fantastic.
00:36:36.000And right now, we don't know what tomorrow holds.
00:36:39.000I mean, there could be a great revival, there could be a great awakening.
00:36:42.000I did receive a couple of questions just a minute ago about California.
00:36:45.000Now, you don't live in California, but you look at California, and as California goes, they say, so goes the nation.
00:37:39.000It's one of the most perplexing things I've ever.
00:37:40.000I mean, there's some things that really confound me and really, really confuse me, which is you go leave a socialist wasteland to go create another socialist wasteland.
00:38:10.000I mean, it's the definition of the left, which is exactly that, which is don't think, just feel and go in the world and destroy everything.
00:38:29.000David Horowitz said recently on Front Page Magazine: today our nation is facing the most serious threat to establish such a tyranny in our entire history.
00:38:40.000And I look at what's happening right now when coronavirus started.
00:38:57.000Something very similar to what Daniel was told in the book of Daniel, hey, Daniel, you can't worship the Lord for, I think it was one month or 30 days or something like that.
00:39:12.000Here we are, six months later, seven months later, and we're still in this.
00:39:15.000And they're still trying to tell us that you can't do these things.
00:39:19.000Now, I want you to talk on the real pandemic.
00:39:22.000In the beginning of August, I believe 8,000 people in the entire state of California had died of coronavirus with inflated numbers and manipulated numbers, I might say.
00:39:32.000At the same time, I believe 50,000 babies have been aborted in the same time.
00:39:38.000And you look at that, and I look at the Old Testament.
00:39:41.000You brought up, you brought up the book of Judges.
00:39:43.000I look at the Old Testament, and Israel was judged, and Judah were judged.
00:39:48.000One of the main sins they had was sacrificing babies on the arms of Molech and killing them.
00:39:55.000And when I look at abortion and what the reality of this, look, I know there's forgiveness for any sin that anybody commits.
00:40:18.000And they were very quick to go follow BLM Incorporated, which wants the destruction of the Western prescribed nuclear family, abolishing prisons and abolishing police, while many churches within the Southern California area were telling their congregants to go march and go on the streets and post-black squares.
00:40:32.000Yet, very interestingly enough, they didn't do anything on Sanctity of Life Sunday at all, where we have 1 million abortions a year in this country, 1 million abortions a year.
00:40:39.000And if you can't get that issue right, if you can't defend the people that can't defend themselves, what other sins are you allowing to happen in your society?
00:40:49.000I mean, if you cannot get that very basic thing, which is life, the defense of the innocent.
00:40:53.000And you make a very interesting point, and it's something that's actually not talked about a lot, which is there's a very, very disturbing trend amongst ancient civilizations and child sacrifice.
00:41:03.000And if you go into Aztec and Mayan culture and Incan culture, Egyptian culture, it was not a rarity that for whatever reason, and you guys can fill in the blanks for your own conclusion of that, that this is not some sort of newfound thing that we came across.
00:41:17.000In fact, when we actually did excavation, we being the Westerners, excavation in Greek and Roman times, underneath some of what they consider the bathhouses, we have discovered massive mass graves of babies where they used to sacrifice young children en mosque.
00:41:32.000So this is not some sort of new thing.
00:41:35.000And you guys can fill in the gaps as to why that is.
00:41:37.000I think there's a very, very specific spiritual reason for this.
00:41:40.000However, if you're not going to contest for those that can't fight for themselves, then I think you should shut down your church, to be perfectly honest with you, because it's that simple.
00:41:48.000It is such an I mean, I have these churches, first of all, I deal with some of these pastors and they're like, oh, it's actually Jesus was pro-choice.
00:41:55.000There are some things that are so beyond foolish, not even worthy of engaging with.
00:41:59.000In fact, I would just love to have the film debate against some of those people because I could definitely make sure a couple of hundred million people see it.
00:42:05.000Because it's just such a wrong thing to say.
00:42:07.000It's just, it's so pathologically untrue.
00:42:09.000But some of these churches are like, well, I don't want to offend my congregation.
00:42:24.000Poor theology, weak theology, feel-good Christianity, which is TED Talk with rock and roll concert and lots of lights, skinny jeans, looking into the YouTube live channel.
00:42:33.000I spent two hours editing an Instagram picture.
00:42:36.000That kind of entire cultural Christianity that's been created in a lot of different ways has prevented Christians from contesting for what is right and for what is good.
00:42:45.000And so let's just, if we are honest with ourselves, one million abortions a year in this country.
00:42:49.000California leads the entire country in abortions by far.
00:43:17.000I think that the abortionists lie to young women and they do so in predatory fashion where most young women are not given the opportunity to see an ultrasound and they don't know what they're doing, most young women.
00:43:25.000And so I think we in the pro-life movement have to do a much better job of having a bridge of compassion to the women that have had abortion, to the abortionists or the abortion doctors, not even close.
00:43:39.000They are the ones that are going into these operating rooms and they are doing things that are so unspeakably evil.
00:43:44.000So I think that we as Christians need to really be honest about that because young women that have had abortions, they're far more likely to commit suicide.
00:43:51.000They have mental health issues that are beyond discussing physical, spiritual damage for the rest of their life.
00:43:56.000But if we can't get that one issue right, the defense of babies that cannot defend themselves, it starts to explain a lot of the other moral confusion that we have all across our country and culture.
00:44:15.000I see a few people out here this evening that have ministries to ladies that have had an abortion, whether they are younger or older.
00:44:23.000I've talked to ladies that are 60 or 70 years old that had abortion 50 years ago and hurting all of their life.
00:44:31.000There's forgiveness, but at the same time, God forgives anybody of any sins.
00:44:37.000Jesus will not cast out anybody who comes to him.
00:44:39.000But at the same time, I look at the church and Charlie, I can go back decades and see when the church started to get away from the Bible and started to get away from the truth.
00:44:50.000Not standing up for the church, the God in schools when those options were on the table.
00:44:59.000You can go all the way back to evolution.
00:45:00.000I mean, there's so many different things you can go, but where was the church?
00:45:06.000A TED Talk with a rock and roll concert, I think, is the perfect description of where we have ended up.
00:45:12.000So when it comes to the church being effective in society and effective in culture, how can it be if the depth of the Bible was never taught?
00:45:21.000Well, look, the word of God is timeless, and God works in mysterious ways.
00:45:26.000So I've been really studying the great awakenings in this country, and all four of them are very unique.
00:45:31.000They all have their own different reasons why they came up.
00:45:34.000The first one, led mostly by Jonathan Edwards, who gave probably the most famous sermon in American history, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.
00:45:40.000And I encourage you guys all to read that tonight.
00:45:42.000It's just as applicable than it is today, which I just think calls the timelessness and the timelyness of the Bible.
00:45:53.000So I encourage you guys to check that out.
00:45:55.000And by the way, the Bible should be taught in every single school across the country, bar none, and they should be stripped of all their funding if they don't teach the testimony.
00:46:03.000We should never fund a school if it does not teach the Bible because it's a historical document as much as it is a religious document.
00:46:10.000And just acting as if this book doesn't exist is actually allowing your A-religious viewpoint to actually act as a religion in our schools.
00:46:18.000And so you asked a question about what Christians can do.
00:46:23.000I actually think that the law is going to be a school teacher to Christ as it tells us in Galatians 3, that we are actually of an opportunity.
00:46:34.000Most mainstream pastors will completely disagree with this, but hear me out here.
00:46:39.000I actually think that we have young people in particular that are going through a crisis right now, a crisis of meaning, a crisis of direction, a crisis of responsibility.
00:46:49.000And I actually think that before we're actually able to teach the gospel, we have to get back to that elemental question of are you flawed by nature or not?
00:46:57.000And I actually think the law and very specific steps of obedience to the law will point people to Christ.
00:47:04.000I think it's different than other awakenings in the past, where Billy Graham's awakening in the 60s and 70s was very dominant on grace, which was really good.
00:47:13.000I actually think now that we have people living in a state of absolute chaos and misery, a lot of young people, I think if you're able to give them very specific, not very specific biblical truths of how they can reorient their life and aim themselves out and then show them the true path that they should focus at, I think we're on the verge of a great awakening.
00:47:32.000However, this is something that most institutional Christianity disagrees with because that actually involves politics and it involves civics and it involves governmental interaction.
00:47:40.000So what I'm actually saying, again, mind you, it is something that is not well held.
00:47:44.000I actually think that politics and correct civic engagement can point more people to Christ than ever before.
00:47:52.000And I see it happen every single day where I have young people that interact with me that are secular, that have never come into a church.
00:47:59.000As the great pastor Rob McCoy would say, never darken the doors of a church.
00:48:02.000And yet they hear my podcast, they agree with me politically, and all of a sudden they want to know the source of that liberty.
00:48:08.000They want to know where this all came from.
00:48:12.000With the Spirit of the Lord, there is liberty.
00:48:15.000We have freedom from sin from Jesus Christ.
00:48:18.000And there's something, as we know, there's something that happens there that can only be explained by the Holy Spirit where people are now giving their lives to Christ because I was able to explain an organized governmental civic and behavioral thinking that is rooted in a law that points them to Christ.
00:48:34.000So I think there's a great opportunity here.
00:48:36.000And I think the church, as we get more involved in politics, as we get more involved in civics, I think we're going to have more conversions and a great awakening, the likes of which we can never anticipate in this country, which is the opposite of what most of the institutional pastors would lead to.
00:48:51.000I'm finding that people that I've known for a long time never, we get along, but they never wanted to talk about the Bible, wouldn't bring up the things that I like talking about.
00:49:03.000Atheists, agnostics, and on down the list are actually asking me questions now.
00:49:09.000And I think that is just absolutely fantastic when I see that happening from the spiritual perspective.
00:49:16.000Now, you look like you're going to say something.
00:49:18.000No, I mean, I just want to say for anyone out there that's watching on the live stream that's secular or atheist, thank you for watching this, by the way.
00:49:25.000And this is a really interesting thing because we have to look at people that do believe in nothing or at least that are agnostic as opportunists, opportunities to be able to bring people into the kingdom of God.
00:49:37.000And I think that there's a great opportunity here in our country and in the kingdom to be able to communicate to young people that have been sold atheism as a religion.
00:50:18.000We have a gospel to share where there is a creator and a heavenly father that loved you enough to create you in his image.
00:50:24.000And he sent his son to be able to believe that you can have eternal life.
00:50:27.000And that is the sweetest gift we can give people.
00:50:29.000And I think, and this is something that I'm so saddened about, though, is that on college campuses, the Christian groups are nowhere to be found.
00:50:36.000In fact, they cower and they hide and they have their five little people that meet.
00:50:40.000It's the atheist groups that are the most vocal, that are the most bold.
00:50:43.000And so this is where I think that we have a great opportunity to be able to get into this marketplace and contest for the truth of the Bible, the existence of God, and of course, his son, Jesus.
00:52:42.000We human beings killed 130 million other human beings intentionally.
00:52:46.000We sent people to their intentional and methodical deaths in communist China and Soviet Russia and Germany and Italy and Pol Pot and Cambodia.
00:52:54.000And so the fact that we in 2020 have not learned that lesson just shows how we as human beings need Jesus Christ because we are so screwed up, it's unbelievable.
00:53:04.000Because you want to talk about a teaching lesson that should orient our path?
00:53:48.000This is against the gospel of Jesus Christ.
00:53:50.000Jesus liberated us from all sorts of tribal and lines of ancestry where you yourself have to individually atone for your sins to your Creator through Christ Jesus.
00:54:26.000And the final thing is this: when massive groups of people walk the streets and try to publicly condemn you for not believing what they believe, that's a danger sign and a fire alarm, everybody.
00:54:36.000I'm telling you right now, you play this out.
00:54:39.000130 million people died under this kind of behavior in the 20th century.
00:54:42.000So what do you do in a university campus?
00:55:10.000Not every kid has to go to four-year college.
00:55:12.000It's a provocative view, but I believe it.
00:55:14.000I actually think we have way too many kids going to college in our country.
00:55:16.000I actually think that most kids that go to college actually end up worse if they wouldn't have gone to college.
00:55:21.000They end up in debt, filled with bad ideas, bitter, angry, resentful, and deceitful around the country around them.
00:55:27.000And so middle-class families are going into debt, endlessly into debt, to go borrow money they don't have, to send their kids to study things that don't matter to find jobs that don't exist.
00:55:35.000While we need more plumbers, electricians, HVAC, police officers, firefighters, entrepreneurs, people that work with their hands, people manufacturing.
00:55:44.000And yet in our society, we value people that have that certificate from a four-year college, which I'm not anti-college, but I am against what college has become in our country, which is an indoctrination activist factory that creates very, very angry people in a world that they should be full of gratitude around.
00:56:00.000And so if you're willing to send your kid to college, think carefully and pray on that.
00:56:05.000Start from the default position and write a two-page paper.
00:56:08.000Have your kid write it as to why they should go to college.
00:56:11.000And if they can't come up with good reasons, then don't send them.
00:56:52.000Out of the people that graduate, only 44% of people that have graduated, according to the New York Federal Reserve, are gainfully employed with jobs that do not require college degrees.
00:57:03.000Those are just the people that are employed.
00:57:05.000And the youth unemployment is 13% as it is.
00:57:20.000And it has become so baked into the lexicon of aspirational middle-class families.
00:57:26.000I, in some ways, am trying to be the voice in the wilderness and telling you guys to say, stop, because we're doing something so dreadful to our country right now.
00:57:37.000If you're willing to send your kid or your child for hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt, take those hundreds of thousands of dollars.
00:57:45.000Here's a thought exercise and think about it.
00:57:47.000And instead of sending them to school, maybe send them for a gap year, put all that money into just a very moderately managed money market account or index fund.
00:57:56.000After four years, see how much it's worth.
00:57:59.000And by the way, have your child watch Prague or U videos, listen to my podcast, listen to the good pastor, listen to Victor Davis Hansen, and see who actually has better character, a better worldview, and is more financially able to take on the world versus all of their colleagues that went to that overly inflated institution that are now $150,000, $200,000 in debt, filled with awful ideas, have very little to any skills, a depleted confidence, very little understanding of where they're going.
00:58:26.000And so, and this is a very interesting thing to say, but I say it quite often, which is high school seniors are way more mature than college seniors.
00:58:34.000We actually create weaker, more immature people through the college system.
00:59:40.000And if I may say one more thing about this, we look at Portland, we look at Seattle, we look at these cities that are disintegrating in front of us.
00:59:46.000And a lot of them are 28, 29, and 30-year-olds.
00:59:49.000And for the adults in the room, I want you to think about when you were 29 or 30.
01:00:25.000That's why in my RNC speech, I said we need to have a society that makes it easier to have many children because we are not doing that right now.
01:00:32.000In fact, everyone's like, oh, we're going to have a population boom after the virus shut down.
01:00:46.000And so to close the point, when you are renting and not paying a mortgage, when you have a negative $80,000 net worth, you have no skills, and your business is shut down.
01:00:57.000So we tell people a lot, we as conservatives, oh, go work harder.
01:01:01.000I'm sorry, you shut down the entire civilization for nine months.
01:01:04.000Where are these young people supposed to work exactly?
01:01:08.000Tell me, where are they supposed to go get a job?
01:01:11.000We have made, and I'm telling you for the adults in the room, I'm not trying to be like intergenerationally condemning here, but it's honest.
01:01:18.000There's an injustice happening right now to young people in this country.
01:01:20.000And it's not, by the way, it's not an excuse for young people out there to go burn everything down or play a victim, okay?
01:01:27.000Still make good choices, apply yourself correctly, and don't for a second use this as a hall pass, you know, to pass go and say, oh, I'm a victim.
01:03:08.000I mean, that is a perfect way to be able to turn that country into a Marxist country.
01:03:12.000I mean, that is a perfect, that is a perfect population for that.
01:03:16.000Do I think that there is a population that is happy that all of a sudden the pharmaceutical companies now have an ability to go sell a national vaccine to 300 million people?
01:03:25.000Yeah, I think that there's some people that are really happy about that.
01:03:27.000Do I think that there are people that are happy that antidepressant medication has increased by tenfold over the last 90 days because we decided we should tell people not to leave their homes?
01:03:36.000Yeah, I think that some people are happy about that.
01:03:37.000In fact, I think there's incentives to actually tell people to continue to act in that way and continue the fear-mongering exercise.
01:03:44.000And so, yeah, the answer to that is yes.
01:03:46.000But I will say this, that the broader incentives, there's some competing coalitions here.
01:03:51.000And just from a strategic standpoint, those of us that believe in America and a decent and reasonable life and believe in the Judeo-Christian ethic, here's how we can be successful.
01:04:00.000Because there's an unholy alliance that exists between four or five groups that actually otherwise would have hated each other.
01:04:05.000There's the corporate tyrants that are friends with the absolute Marxists, that are friends with the Islamists, that are friends of the Chinese Communist Party.
01:04:13.000And all four of them hate each other, but they actually all agree that America's the obstacle and we must destroy it at all costs.
01:04:21.000You have the corporate tyrants that are friends with the Marxists.
01:04:24.000It's very bizarre, actually, where it's kind of the eat-me-last strategy.
01:04:28.000So this is what you see happening at the National Basketball Association and the NFL and PepsiCo, where they are afraid that the storming of the Bastille is going to result in them having to shutter all their business.
01:04:41.000So they go to the Marxists and they say, so what causes do I have to go send a $100 million wire to?
01:04:45.000Like, oh, that one, okay, no, you're not going to come eat me, which is one of the most foolish things imaginable because they will get burned down too.
01:04:52.000And then you have the Islamic groups that are from the Middle East, the Iranians in particular, that want the total destruction of Israel and of America, that are friends with the LGBT groups.
01:05:02.000Like, you guys hate and throw gays off the top of buildings.
01:05:04.000How are you guys friends with each other?
01:05:50.000That's the one thing they have in common, right?
01:05:52.000I'm not saying all of the gay groups do, but the activist ones that absolutely are with the Islamic Republic, the activist ones.
01:05:58.000And then the Chinese Communist Party pairing up with the corporate tyrants.
01:06:02.000And so you have this coalition that's been built.
01:06:04.000So our path to victory strategically, just talking about politically and otherwise, is separating these groups and making them fight within each other because they actually philosophically hate each other.
01:06:13.000I mean, the Marxist turning on Jeff Bezos is actually a very healthy thing.
01:07:01.000The most amazing thing is that, I mean, I come from the suburbs of Chicago.
01:07:04.000Chicago has not had a Republican mayor since 1931.
01:07:07.000Atlanta has not had a Republican mayor since the 1800s.
01:07:10.000Chicago has Democrat aldermen, congressmen, city council, mayor, everything you could possibly imagine.
01:07:15.000They're out there saying Republicans are to blame for the 534 black-on-black crimes that happen every single year and for all the crime, the robbery.
01:07:22.000And just today, there was a shooting in a Chicago restaurant where one was killed and six were injured.
01:07:26.000Yet, somehow, with the strictest gun control, they control everything.
01:07:29.000It's a complete and total political monopoly.
01:07:32.000And that's not a good thing for anybody.
01:07:33.000And yet, the Democrats own this, make no mistake.
01:07:39.000It's sad because if there was a tragedy in Republican-owned areas, Democrats wouldn't care at all.
01:07:44.000But the fact that we actually care about all Americans and all lives, despite all these cities being Democrat monopolist strongholds, we still pray and cry when lives are lost in them because we don't look at things as, oh, we can get more votes.
01:08:01.000We should do something about it because the innocent are going to be harmed, which is what's happening.
01:08:06.000And what's happening in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and Portland, and Seattle, and San Francisco, and a little bit in Los Angeles, is nothing less than the absolute unraveling of decent society.
01:08:16.000I mean, just in Chicago, two and a half weeks ago, I'll give you a very quick story on this, which is BLM Incorporated went to the streets of Chicago and executed a planned and deliberate terror campaign where 600 businesses were totally and completely looted, burned down to the ground.
01:08:34.000And one story in particular I want to share with you: a guy by the name of Mohammed Ashik.
01:08:38.000He legally immigrated to this country 42 years ago, paid his taxes, obediently paid his property taxes, played by the rules, never committed a crime.
01:08:47.000He owned a watch repair shop on Wabash Avenue underneath the L in Chicago.
01:08:53.000A lot of you might be familiar with that where they filmed Batman.
01:09:21.000Because he's repairing other people's stuff, watch repair, family heirlooms, intergenerational tokens and items, gone forever, sold for scraps on the street.
01:10:01.000It's Muhammad Ashik who came here and did the right thing for 42 years, who BLM Incorporated is raiding for reparations.
01:10:08.000Now, that's a terrorist organization, okay?
01:10:10.000That is wrong, and that is evil, and that is immoral.
01:10:12.000And that is happening all across the country at an alarming rate.
01:10:16.000And so, and if we allow this to continue and we do not deploy law enforcement on every single level, National Guard police to stop the insurrection happening in our country, decent and reasonable people will not take this anymore.
01:10:28.000What's going to happen, and you game this out, you're starting to see this pop up a little bit, is that decent and reasonable people, and I do not support vigilante justice, I don't.
01:10:37.000But if you want to know a story that archetypically embodies exactly where we are going, it's the story of Batman, okay?
01:10:43.000And we all know this story and we can laugh, but it's actually a very, it's rooted in truth.
01:10:49.000Gotham City was a prophecy and a prediction where the criminals ran the city, the police were bought and paid for, the district attorney was completely corrupt, and what needed to rise up?
01:11:07.000In fact, instead of Batman coming in to save, you're going to have civil unrest.
01:11:11.000And so if the police are not able to do their job, if you do not deploy law enforcement, you're going to have the unraveling of this gift we have been given of the people and my ancestors before me and my family who stormed the beaches of Normandy, that flew over the islands in the Pacific Ocean, that fought in the Civil War and bled in all these conflicts.
01:11:30.000We're just going to unravel it in our cities like this.
01:11:33.000I'm telling you, everybody, this is a fire alarm.
01:11:35.000You got to get very serious because we can lose this gift in an instant and we are so close to it.
01:12:23.000Well, teach me how to be as good as you.
01:12:25.000And I'd be happy to sign up for that program, first of all, right?
01:12:27.000So, secondly, you look at the Bible, and I can understand on the surface, for an untrained eye, and kind of a sloppy mind, why a three-times married, twice-divorced Playboy billionaire from New York, being the most pro-life president in American history, might make your head spin.
01:12:47.000But that's exactly how God works, everybody.
01:12:49.000He uses unusual vessels for righteous purposes all the time.
01:12:53.000And so I said something, I said something in my RNC speech that really made the left unhappy, which is exactly how I know him right over the topic.
01:13:13.000By the way, in my speech, everything I said was prayed over and was carefully chosen.
01:13:18.000And it was the most deliberate speech I've ever given in my life.
01:13:20.000And I encourage you guys to watch it and just read the transcript because there's actually references to 1 Timothy in there, living quiet and peaceful lives, church more important than a casino.
01:13:44.000If you were to hire a bodyguard for your family, do you care about the tweets they sent earlier in the day?
01:13:49.000If you were to hire a bodyguard, you want them probably to be stronger, more aware, better at perceiving threats, how to avoid them, and how to confront them than anyone else.
01:14:00.000And you want someone who is going to tell you the truth about what's coming next to your home when you hire a bodyguard, right?
01:14:08.000It's a complete and total threat analysis of a civilization in front of you.
01:14:11.000That's why I love that analogy because we hired him to protect this gift that we have been given.
01:14:17.000If all of a sudden, if he has to tell the family, you get in the living room, I'm going to go fight these people because I know how, he's going to win because he's a street fighter from the Bronx.
01:14:25.000And he knows from Brooklyn, I'm sorry, where he knows how to get into the streets and he knows how to win.
01:14:31.000And people say, well, that's not very biblical.
01:14:32.000I'm going to say, well, you guys should go get a scissors and take up Samson from your Bible, okay?
01:14:38.000Because he took, God came to him in the bed of a prostitute with a prostitute in bed.
01:14:43.000I came to tell eight-year-olds about this.
01:14:47.000He took a jaw of a donkey and killed a thousand Philistines and died a sacrificial death for God because the people of Israel were unwilling to fight at that particular moment.
01:14:59.000This idea that God can't use people for specific purposes.
01:15:02.000Let me tell you, President Trump is prayed over every single day by Mike Pence in the Oval Office.
01:15:06.000He's invited more pastors to the White House than George W. Bush ever did.
01:15:09.000Most pro-life president of American history, Dorset, Kavanaugh, fighting for religious celebrity, embassy to Jerusalem, Golan Heights.
01:16:32.000He's fighting for what is good and what is right.
01:16:34.000You're here being like, oh, I'm such a good person.
01:16:35.000Like, okay, I'd rather have someone that's fighting for what is good than someone that's on their podium and like, well, I'm a really good person.
01:16:40.000I'm not going to go vote and all this.
01:17:55.000But it is against the law to gather in the name of Christ.
01:17:58.000Sounds to me in church, in the name of Christ, it sounds to me like Berlin, 1936.
01:18:04.000I mean, look, I don't like overusing the 1930s Germany stuff, just to be perfectly honest with you.
01:18:10.000I think that it's a very specific horror, and I think it's actually thrown around way too cheaply, to be honest.
01:18:16.000And so I'm just going to kind of put pause on that.
01:18:18.000Instead, I would much rather talk about Mao Ste Tongs China and the Soviet Union.
01:18:22.000And they're actually different in their own capacity.
01:18:25.000And the reason I just, the 1930s thing, I just think that there's a misunderstanding in a lot of circles.
01:18:32.000And I think it actually cheapens what happens in the 1930s, to be perfectly honest with you.
01:18:36.000And I don't like it when the right does it.
01:18:37.000I don't like it when the left does it.
01:18:39.000While there are similarities at times to behavior and things, I just, for me, that's my own kind of personal approach to that.
01:18:45.000However, let's just talk about the 20th century, which we have, which I think is a nice segue from that mention, which is what did they do in the Soviet Union when they were taking power and Joseph Stalin killed actually more people than were killed in 1930s Germany, by the way.
01:18:58.000More people were killed in the Soviet Union than were killed in 1930s and early 1940s Germany, which was Joseph Stalin went after intentionally and criminalized and prosecuted all the pastors and closed down the churches.
01:19:43.000Joseph Stalin is a very interesting case study.
01:19:46.000And I think that the lack of understanding about Soviet Russia has been one of the greatest injustices that we have done to our nation's children.
01:20:29.000I mean, he only killed 55 million people, right?
01:20:31.000As Stalin said, one death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic.
01:20:34.000Mao Zedong, still, we're still feeling the terror of the Chinese Communist Party to this day through the cultural evolution, had the self-enforced little red book that if you did not have the little red book and if you did not have the incantation of the Mao Cedong, you can be put in prison and killed.
01:20:49.000So here's why I don't like some of these kind of analogies and some of these kind of the moralizing that we do.
01:21:26.000At least some spelling of that will auto-correct it in the search engine you use, which hopefully is not Google.
01:21:30.000And because they're the ones that are building the entire empire for this to be possible, by the way.
01:21:34.000They're our own children that we educate in our schools to work for Google to go build the 21st century concentration camps for China.
01:21:41.000They just enlist our own tech companies to be able to do that.
01:21:44.000And so right now, there's a million Muslims in concentration camps.
01:21:48.000I just want to keep saying that because right now we have LeBron James saying how awful of a country that we are.
01:21:53.000He's the one that's taking the knee, but he says that China is a pretty awesome place and refuses to say one bad thing against the Chinese Communist Party.
01:21:59.000And so that should enrage every single person that sees what's happening in our country right now.
01:22:11.000We are the most benevolent, the most creative, the most giving of opportunity, the most forgiving, the most likely to have a comeback story.
01:22:17.000Do you know what the most striking thing was?
01:22:19.000When I traveled to France, I traveled to Belgium.
01:22:20.000I traveled all across the entire European Union, not Belgium, when I traveled to Switzerland, I traveled to Germany, is what they said, the one thing that made America different, and this is what's so interesting.
01:22:30.000And again, the activist media, they're just so boring lately, is that the Europeans that are entrepreneurs, they said, one of the major cultural differences between Europe and America is how forgiving of failure America is.
01:25:06.000The antibodies that are injected into your children through vaccines are made possible by the abortion industry, the million abortions a year.
01:25:12.000So just so you understand what that is.
01:25:19.000And it's something that is an important nuance.
01:25:22.000So look, I'm not going to, I'll leave the eschatology to you.
01:25:30.000Pain right now to try to get people mandatory compliance towards a vaccine.
01:25:38.000And it's pathological how much they want this.
01:25:40.000In fact, just so you understand where this is going, and it must be the mandated part of this absolutely must be fought at every single turn.
01:25:47.000Is that they are going to be having you can't get certain jobs, certain corporations are going to require it, school systems, and eventually states are going to require this.
01:26:01.000I mean, this is coming from the very top levels of our government that they want to have the mandated vaccine for individuals for young children, for everyone across the country.
01:26:10.000And just some, there's some other, even the best flu vaccine we have is only 10 to 15% effective, right?
01:26:16.000So in any ways, it might be a placebo, but I, and but I'm very much, I share the government overreach concern so greatly because if we allow that to happen, which we're already seeing, I think, a lot of different ways, there's social conditioning going on right now to just do what you're told, obey, take a knee, all these sorts of things.
01:26:36.000And I'm going to be very honest with you, and this church being the outlier of this, I've been saddened because I thought that we embraced liberty a lot more in this country than we really did.
01:26:50.000But, man, I mean, the fact that we have allowed so much to be shut down for so long at such a great cost, under such fear, and such mass misinformation after misinformation.
01:27:02.000And I'm not saying the virus is not a real thing.
01:27:04.000I have lost a dear mentor and friend to the virus.
01:27:09.000However, the singular analysis at just that one thing as the only thing that we must focus on, as if we do not have a country of 345 million diverse people demographically and otherwise, where we have just tried to kill a mouse with a tomahawk missile in the middle of a neighborhood.
01:27:25.000And there's a lot of casualties around us where more kids committed suicide in the state of California than died of the Chinese coronavirus.
01:27:32.000That should get everyone great concern.
01:28:22.000I mean, if the president just did this deal between the UAE and Israel, it would be considered an incredible presidency.
01:28:28.000I mean, it's just so to have the UAE, which was a funder and a supporter of the boycott divestment sanctions movement of Israel, to now say they're going to normalize ties and allow flights and allow trade is incredible.
01:28:38.000It goes to show President Trump's master hand.
01:28:41.000It's like a master class in negotiation, right?
01:29:00.000But look, the fight for Israel is very interesting because the thing that Israel and the United States have in common, it's the only two countries ever founded that were founded specifically on the Jeo-Christian ethic and the Jo-Christian morality.
01:29:13.000And so Israel being a country of only 7 million people with half the world's Jews, where all three monotheistic religions are represented in the Knesset, where you have freedom of religion, freedom of expression, you have Christianity, Judaism, and Islam that is all allowed to freely express their beliefs.
01:29:29.000That is the country that is the focus of 1 billion Arab Muslims all across the region.
01:29:35.000Why does Iran hate Israel more than China?
01:29:37.000That should be a very serious question for you.
01:29:40.000Which country has a million Muslims in concentration camps again?
01:29:43.000And that just goes to show this is a diabolical campaign.
01:29:46.000It is anti-Semitism through and through.
01:29:48.000And to also, and this is a less talked about truth.
01:29:51.000They want to archaeologically destroy the Middle East.
01:29:53.000Did you know that there's never been an archaeological discovery that has contradicted the Bible?
01:29:59.000The more we dig, the more we discover, the more we confirm.
01:30:02.000They want to be able to destroy Israel because then they can destroy the archaeological truth that we find, whether it be in the city of David, whether it be in Camperna, all across Judea and Samaria.
01:30:11.000The more that the Arabs allow us to actually dig in that region, the more we're able to confirm the authenticity and the historical truth of the Bible.
01:30:17.000So the fight for Israel is a fight for all things that are good and right in the world, and I'm happy to stand next to Israel.
01:30:56.000If it's an Apple phone, you have a podcast app in there already download, downloaded.
01:31:00.000You type in Charlie Kirk Show and you just hit that very big subscribe button.
01:31:03.000It might seem like a little thing, but if everyone in this room did that, we would beat the New York Times by tomorrow morning, which is pretty much a moral thing to do, I think.
01:33:09.000What I was saying, and Pastor Rob McCoy is my pastor, and I'm honored to call him my pastor because he fights for what is right and what is good, keeps his churches open.
01:33:19.000But I stole something from Rob, and Rob, you can say it better than I can.
01:33:25.0001 Timothy, pray for your leaders by name.
01:33:29.000Yeah, 1 Timothy says, pray for kings and those in authority that we would live quiet, peaceable lives in all godliness and reverence.
01:33:35.000And I traveled the country with an organization called American Grill Project, spoken to 15,000 pastors across the country.
01:33:41.000And I say, you all agree that's a pastoral epistle Paul's writing to Timothy.
01:33:45.000And I say, yes, that's the word of God, yes.
01:33:47.000And I say, look, based on that scripture, can you name your five school board members and your five city council members by name and the issues they're dealing with that allow your community to live quiet and peaceable lives in all godliness and reverence?
01:34:23.000You should make sure that you have godly people representing your community, walk precincts for them, host coffees for them, contribute to their campaigns.
01:34:30.000In an election, my wife and I contribute 10% of our income, not just to the church, but 10% to any candidate running locally.
01:35:14.000The psychological truth to that, because we think that our friends are going to disconnect us, but actually, you have the most likelihood of convincing a friend because you have that common bond.
01:35:24.000Talk to them all about the necessary need of running for school board, supporting school board members, and yes, voting for state, local, and federal candidates that are in alignment with the worldview that you all hold.
01:36:01.000If you want to come up to me and hand me a piece of paper that you have written about some topic, which happens a lot, I'm sure there's somebody out there, go take that passion and go find a homeschooling co-op that needs to hear from you about a specific piece of history that you know really well.
01:36:14.000We have to get serious about the church getting involved in the home.
01:36:18.000This is what's so amazing is I have homeschooling mothers saying, I can't do it anymore.
01:36:28.000Because they should be the one that's supporting that entire local homeschooling community.
01:36:31.000I know you guys do a phenomenal job of that here.
01:36:33.000And then the third thing that I really want to reinforce and kind of the call to action that we have to get very serious about is in all communities in America, we have to cut fatherlessness in half in the next 10 years.
01:36:48.000Number one, stop subsidizing from the government level.
01:36:50.000And any man who calls himself a man that does the drive-by father thing is a coward and should be condemned and challenged by other godly men to get back in that relationship and raise those children.
01:37:02.000The crisis that's happening with fatherless in this country is a real thing.
01:37:06.000And so, by the way, this is by no means a condemnation of single mothers.
01:37:53.000But also, let's just be honest, men in this country have to start being real men, shouldering a burden to stop doing this drive-by father thing that we have allowed to happen for far too long.
01:41:25.000Every eschatology comes with an asset and a liability.
01:41:27.000But we don't know the day or the hour.
01:41:29.000We can look at the signs, but never lose sight of this.
01:41:33.000Your eschatology is not justification for your apathy.
