00:00:49.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:51.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:53.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:56.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:00.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:01.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:02.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:01:04.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:01:10.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:19.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:22.000 Thank you, everybody.

00:01:24.000 Welcome to California, Charlie.

00:01:26.000 You know, we're going to talk about California.

00:01:27.000 I got to tell you that some of the most amazing patriots in America are still fighting in California, and you deserve so much for that.

00:01:37.000 It really is amazing.

00:01:38.000 It really is.

00:01:40.000 And we are in the capital region of California.

00:01:44.000 I believe the most important state in our nation.

00:01:49.000 And we are believing that we are going to see a move of God through organizations like yourselves empowering the church to be the church.

00:01:58.000 Amen.

00:01:58.000 To actually take the church's proper role of leaning into the community, leading on these issues, and not being cowards and being courageous and being bold.

00:02:10.000 You see, you know what tyrants fear?

00:02:12.000 Tyrants fear this.

00:02:14.000 This is why they had to lock down the church for a couple years when they took all your freedoms away and they tried to mandate a vaccine and they did all these different things.

00:02:23.000 The American church is the greatest threat to tyranny. 0.93

00:02:28.000 You being here tonight, pastor speaking out boldly.

00:02:32.000 You see, the American church founded America.

00:02:35.000 55 of 56 of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were Bible-believing church attending Christians.

00:02:42.000 This nation was founded by people that prayed and fasted for the welfare of their nation.

00:02:48.000 The American church, whenever there is a crisis, stands up and preaches and proclaims the word boldly and truthfully.

00:02:57.000 And I believe that's exactly what we're living through right now.

00:02:59.000 Hey, this is encouraging to me just to see the demographics of this evening here.

00:03:04.000 I got my 92-year-old mom right here on the front row right here.

00:03:12.000 I just introduced you to Hannah. 1.00

00:03:14.000 Where's Hannah? 1.00

00:03:15.000 She's sitting out here. 1.00

00:03:16.000 She is a rock star. 0.89

00:03:17.000 She goes to Whitney High, and she's a shining light right there at Whitney High.

00:03:23.000 I mean, we got high schoolers here.

00:03:24.000 We got college people here.

00:03:26.000 We got the whole spectrum.

00:03:29.000 And that's what it's going to take.

00:03:30.000 You know, right now, tonight, Turning Point USA is hosting Riley Gaines on the other side of the nation in Albany.

00:03:38.000 Some of you might, was that, were any of you at Davis when we did our mostly peaceful event?

00:03:42.000 Thank you, by the way, for that.

00:03:45.000 And, you know, this is unusual for us to be able to do events where we're so warmly welcomed.

00:03:52.000 And it's necessary, though, because one of the accusations people say is, oh, Charlie, when you speak at churches, you're speaking to the choir.

00:04:00.000 And I say, well, you know what?

00:04:01.000 The last couple decades, I think the choir forgot the melody.

00:04:04.000 Yeah.

00:04:05.000 And the choir was not so courageous.

00:04:08.000 So you got to do both.

00:04:09.000 But thank you for supporting Turning Point USA.

00:04:12.000 I think it's the most important thing happening in America for the next generation.

00:04:16.000 And we are, without a doubt, as of right now, the most targeted and attacked organization in America, especially youth organization.

00:04:25.000 And honestly, we wear that as a badge of honor.

00:04:27.000 The fact that when we go to Davis or we do San Francisco State University and they hold our speaker hostage, the fact with the death threats and the violence and them ripping up Bibles at our events, that means that we are leaning in where it matters the most.

00:04:42.000 And, you know, many of you, you might say, Charlie, you know, where's the hope?

00:04:47.000 You want hope?

00:04:48.000 Turning point USA has hundreds of thousands of 15, 16, 17, 18-year-olds that are starting chapters that are fighting for virtue and righteousness and goodness and liberty and freedom and American exceptionalism when it is not the popular thing to do.

00:05:02.000 You want hope?

00:05:04.000 Maybe the hope should come from looking at the teenagers that Turning Point USA is pouring into to say, I don't care what they call me.

00:05:10.000 I don't care if they slander me.

00:05:12.000 I don't care what they do to me because you saw it at UC Davis, or maybe you heard about it.

00:05:17.000 Hundreds of Antifa coming with weapons, trying to come after our students, sharing their public, you know, their private information.

00:05:23.000 You know what our students said afterwards?

00:05:25.000 This makes you want to fight harder.

00:05:27.000 Yeah.

00:05:28.000 That should give you a lot of hope.

00:05:29.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:05:32.000 So we got a lot to cover tonight.

00:05:35.000 A lot to cover.

00:05:36.000 And, I mean, it's almost where do we start?

00:05:38.000 But I think we need to start with the tsunami that has hit our culture.

00:05:44.000 This transgenderism that has blown up across our country. 1.00

00:05:49.000 And we're seeing it manifest in so many different ways.

00:05:54.000 And, you know, Charlie, I want you, I mean, because there's a lot we can go through.

00:05:59.000 I mean, we can talk about some of the things that have happened to Riley Gaines.

00:06:04.000 We could talk about Dylan Mohagen.

00:06:08.000 What's her name?

00:06:09.000 Or him?

00:06:10.000 His name.

00:06:11.000 His name.

00:06:18.000 That, you know, Budweiser puts on their cans.

00:06:21.000 It's amazing that a company is willing to lose $6 billion overnight.

00:06:33.000 But let's take a broad picture of it first.

00:06:37.000 Transgenderism. 0.67

00:06:39.000 Yes.

00:06:39.000 What is it?

00:06:40.000 Where is it going?

00:06:42.000 So really important.

00:06:44.000 And I think this is the issue because I think so many of the other topics that we see can just kind of be found within this moment of gender dysphoria and mental delusion. 0.53

00:06:56.000 Because the T and LGBT stands for tyranny, not for trans. 1.00

00:07:01.000 It's about telling you how you have to think.

00:07:04.000 And I'm going to prove it to you.

00:07:06.000 For years, there were people that suffered with the mental delusion.

00:07:10.000 Now, mind you, understand my language, suffering.

00:07:13.000 These are people that are struggling with inner turmoil and torment.

00:07:17.000 These are people that have an issue, and I hope they get care.

00:07:20.000 And care is not chopping off the breasts of a 13-year-old and putting them on Lupron.

00:07:26.000 Care would be cognitive behavioral therapy.

00:07:29.000 Care would be telling them the truth, to love them enough to give them the treatment that they as a son or a daughter of the divine of God made in the image of God deserve.

00:07:39.000 Not saying that we're going to put the most irreversible, quote-unquote, medieval medical procedures towards you.

00:07:46.000 So this has come on to the forefront.

00:07:50.000 And these people that are suffering with this, they've been around for quite a while, but why all of a sudden is this an issue?

00:07:55.000 Well, because for years we have lived with one of the kind of phrases that people would say, oh, just live and let live.

00:08:02.000 But the problem with live and let live is that both sides must agree to it.

00:08:08.000 And we have agreed to it.

00:08:10.000 You can have your own false, fictitious, delusional mental imaginations of your own existence.

00:08:17.000 Just don't involve me.

00:08:19.000 You can do it in your home.

00:08:20.000 You could do it in some coffee shop.

00:08:22.000 I don't agree with it.

00:08:23.000 I think it's wrong.

00:08:24.000 I think it might be demonic.

00:08:25.000 But if you leave it to yourself, like that doesn't bother me.

00:08:28.000 Live and let live, man.

00:08:30.000 But that's not what happened.

00:08:32.000 Is that all of a sudden, the people that had those issues that are legitimate, gender dysphoria, they decided because they were tormented and because they were suffering to all of a sudden create a movement where to deal with their torment and their suffering is that they must make you change your behavior.

00:08:51.000 These people are cultural imperialists that they try to invade our customs, our traditions, our sports, our companies, our language, how we raise our children. 0.80

00:09:01.000 So it's not enough that Thomas, the swimmer, thought that he's a woman.

00:09:07.000 It's not enough that you can think you are a woman and still compete in male sports.

00:09:14.000 All the freedom to you, man.

00:09:16.000 You can have whatever imaginations of grandeur you want.

00:09:18.000 You could think you're a good swimmer, which you really aren't against men.

00:09:21.000 Right.

00:09:22.000 Exactly.

00:09:24.000 You could think.

00:09:25.000 You're not on the team.

00:09:27.000 You're allowed to have an imagination not rooted in reality.

00:09:31.000 Obviously, not going to police people's imaginations.

00:09:35.000 But what we are not going to tolerate any longer is us having to change everything because you have a problem.

00:09:42.000 That's right.

00:09:43.000 And that's where we're at.

00:09:46.000 Is now that the ordinary and the normal and the proven and the traditional is now categorized as hateful and intolerant because of a minority, a hyper-minority of people that are tormented tell us that we have to change our traditions.

00:10:03.000 So we must now abolish female sports. 0.99

00:10:05.000 So a national champion wins the NCAA Women's Championship as a biological male.

00:10:12.000 We say, well, you know, it would be intolerant if we said anything different.

00:10:17.000 We see track championships.

00:10:18.000 We see weightlifting championships.

00:10:20.000 We see wrestling championships.

00:10:21.000 It doesn't stop there, though. 1.00

00:10:23.000 It doesn't just stop with female sports. 1.00

00:10:25.000 It goes to bathrooms. 1.00

00:10:26.000 It goes to language.

00:10:28.000 You must call me the pronoun that I demand. 0.93

00:10:31.000 That is tyrannical.

00:10:33.000 So it's not live and let live.

00:10:35.000 It's live and let us rule over your life.

00:10:38.000 That's right.

00:10:39.000 So here's the thing.

00:10:40.000 And this is an unpopular thing to say out loud, but it's very popular because most Americans agree with it.

00:10:46.000 You guys broke the non-aggression pact.

00:10:49.000 The trans people, the delusion that they're under, they crossed the Rubicon.

00:10:55.000 They decided to wage cultural war against us.

00:10:58.000 So now guess what?

00:10:59.000 We're going to win.

00:11:00.000 We're not going to put up with it. 1.00

00:11:02.000 We're going to protect female sports. 1.00

00:11:03.000 We're not going to have men in female locker rooms. 1.00

00:11:05.000 We're not going to change our language.

00:11:07.000 We're not going to all of a sudden allow our children to learn things that's rooted in perversion and grooming.

00:11:15.000 We were fine with saying, hey, you have a problem.

00:11:17.000 You can believe what you want to believe.

00:11:19.000 You want to wear a dress in your living room.

00:11:20.000 That's strange.

00:11:21.000 That's weird.

00:11:23.000 Okay, that's not what any of this is about.

00:11:25.000 Because I get asked the question sometimes, well, Charlie, how does this impact you?

00:11:28.000 It impacts all of us.

00:11:30.000 It impacts our children.

00:11:32.000 It impacts biological norms and standards.

00:11:34.000 It impacts the truth.

00:11:35.000 It impacts the entire society.

00:11:37.000 Not to mention, they now have a license to do evil and be called the victim.

00:11:46.000 I'll prove it to you.

00:11:47.000 Because I'm sure some apparatchik for the Sacramento B is here.

00:11:50.000 By the way, they should be very worried because we very well might file a very serious lawsuit against them because they lied about us.

00:11:56.000 And I bet they're here.

00:11:58.000 They got to be very worried.

00:12:00.000 Yeah.

00:12:01.000 So quote me accurately or else you have two lawsuits, Sacramento B.

00:12:05.000 The Sacramento B wrote about me. 0.50

00:12:07.000 What's that woman's name? 0.90

00:12:08.000 Hannah. 0.99

00:12:10.000 She said that Charlie Kirk believes that trans people should be lynched. 1.00

00:12:15.000 That is a lie from the pit of hell. 0.99

00:12:17.000 I've never said that.

00:12:18.000 I don't believe it.

00:12:18.000 It's the opposite of what I believe.

00:12:20.000 And they should be very, very nervous because that's defamatory, that's slanderous, and that's libel.

00:12:25.000 And so I bet they're here tonight.

00:12:28.000 You wave to them.

00:12:31.000 Anyway, so quote me accurately for your own sake.

00:12:39.000 So I want to make sure this is clear, which is that in the moment that we're in today, when it comes to the trans stuff and their kind of imperialist conquest. 0.90

00:12:50.000 That's right.

00:12:50.000 I was talking about victimizement and victory.

00:12:52.000 Let me finish the point, which is the Riley Gaines situation.

00:12:56.000 She speaks at a turning point USA chapter at San Francisco State University. 1.00

00:13:01.000 She gets assaulted.

00:13:02.000 Members of our turning point staff were assaulted.

00:13:05.000 And then they were held hostage, pseudo-kidnapped when the violent mob was outside of the room, all trans people, right? 0.99

00:13:14.000 Demanding money, payment, saying we want her to miss her flight.

00:13:16.000 She did end up missing her flight.

00:13:18.000 There's worse things that can happen, but they were there for three hours.

00:13:21.000 The police decided to do nothing until the San Francisco police come in.

00:13:25.000 But the most horrifying thing is not a bunch of delusional people that are on testosterone replacement therapy that are acting erratic and aggressive, right?

00:13:33.000 That's what happens when all of a sudden you put 22-year-olds that have mental problems on just pharmacological agents.

00:13:39.000 They're going to act insane, okay?

00:13:41.000 Shouldn't be surprised when all of a sudden you're on a routine of TRT and human growth hormone and benzodiazepines and Zoloft and Prozac.

00:13:48.000 All of a sudden they start punching people.

00:13:49.000 Like, yeah, maybe you shouldn't be putting these mind-altering substances into a 22-year-old that already has some predisposition towards mental illness.

00:13:58.000 Probably not a good idea, but no one ever wants to say that out loud, but it's true. 0.88

00:14:01.000 So they're holding her hostage.

00:14:03.000 That's bad.

00:14:05.000 The leadership of San Francisco State University came out and said, we want to applaud our students for how wonderful that they acted.

00:14:12.000 True story.

00:14:14.000 They said Riley Gaines provoked this for coming on our campus and spewing hate.

00:14:20.000 They said we were proud of how peaceful they were.

00:14:22.000 They were not peaceful.

00:14:23.000 They kidnapped her, held her hostage, and assaulted her and our turning point members.

00:14:27.000 In fact, they said, if anyone needs counseling services for the damage and the trauma that you had to endure, that's the leadership of San Francisco State University.

00:14:39.000 They can do no wrong.

00:14:41.000 And this is important, everybody.

00:14:43.000 The left, if they are left unchecked to run our society, they convince people that they are victims, which they're not, and then they get a moral license to become the victimizer.

00:14:54.000 They are then allowed to do whatever they want to do against you.

00:14:59.000 They're allowed to hold you hostage, assault you, call you names, intimidate you, get you fired from a job because they say, I deserve it because of how terrible I've been treated because you haven't accommodated it, accommodated my mental struggle.

00:15:13.000 I want to extrapolate this.

00:15:14.000 Imagine if we accommodated society for everybody's mental issue.

00:15:20.000 No, this is important.

00:15:22.000 This is basically what the trans, the trans argument says we must change everything. 1.00

00:15:26.000 So people that are afraid to drive, we should ban all cars. 0.98

00:15:32.000 People that are afraid of men, we should just get rid of all men.

00:15:37.000 Oprah's trying. 0.98

00:15:43.000 Or how about this?

00:15:44.000 That somebody says, you know, I have a fear of flying, let's just ban all airplanes.

00:15:50.000 You see, mental illness is on the increase in America for a lot of different reasons.

00:15:56.000 That's also why the trans thing is on the increase. 1.00

00:15:59.000 Lockdowns and the TikTok social contagion are certainly not helping.

00:16:03.000 They're preying on young girls that do not have strong fathers around for multiple reasons that are going through puberty.

00:16:09.000 They feel uncomfortable.

00:16:10.000 A lot of things are happening to their body.

00:16:12.000 They grow separation with their mom and they open up TikTok and all of a sudden, oh, you're feeling all this?

00:16:17.000 You're starting to get breasts.

00:16:18.000 You're starting to feel all these hormones.

00:16:19.000 You're actually a man.

00:16:20.000 Oh, my goodness.

00:16:21.000 I never would have thought that.

00:16:22.000 Without parental consent, they go to a doctor and all of a sudden these medieval torturers that call themselves medical professionals put them under a knife and prescribe them unbelievably damaging prescription.

00:16:33.000 Now, we can get into the why of this, but the point that I think is important is that we must talk about this as a social contagion.

00:16:41.000 This is where we're missing it, okay?

00:16:43.000 Most conservatives and Christians are afraid to say the obvious part out loud, which is that it's not normal to see a 10,000% increase in a decade of kids that think they are the other gender.

00:16:56.000 It is coming from somewhere.

00:17:00.000 It is spreading like a virus.

00:17:03.000 And it is not loving.

00:17:06.000 It is not Christ-like to affirm it because we said we need gender affirming care.

00:17:13.000 No, we need gender reality care.

00:17:15.000 Yes.

00:17:17.000 We need a counselor to look a 14-year-old girl in the eye and say, boy, I know you're going through a lot.

00:17:22.000 Let's talk about that.

00:17:23.000 What are you feeling?

00:17:24.000 Let's journal about it.

00:17:26.000 But what, you know, these feelings are temporary.

00:17:29.000 Going and getting gender, you know, your breasts removed or hysterectomy, that's permanent. 0.96

00:17:33.000 So let's probably not do permanent, irreversible damage of something that you might be temporarily feeling.

00:17:39.000 So let's work through this.

00:17:41.000 That's how therapy should work.

00:17:43.000 We're doing the opposite.

00:17:45.000 And they call them doctors.

00:17:47.000 This state, California, is becoming the safe state, the sanctuary state for all of this.

00:17:52.000 So Greg, I could go on deeper and deeper and deeper about this, but this is the social contagion of our time.

00:17:57.000 And it intersects so many other issues.

00:18:00.000 Evil doesn't know any boundaries.

00:18:02.000 That's right.

00:18:02.000 It's progressive in nature.

00:18:04.000 So it doesn't end here.

00:18:05.000 It continues to accelerate.

00:18:08.000 Even locally, right here, we have a quote-unquote pastor who supports drag events at our high school campuses.

00:18:17.000 And thank God there are people in our community said, you're not going to do that on our high school campuses.

00:18:27.000 But the progressiveness of this movement, it's not satisfied.

00:18:33.000 And so they start clubs on high school campuses and then prey on these students who are confused maybe in the moment or whatever.

00:18:45.000 And it's for the purpose of indoctrination.

00:18:48.000 And so as, you know, we can applaud, we can do whatever we want here.

00:18:55.000 But we saw what we could do as a community when somebody violated what I believe is pure evil.

00:19:02.000 It's satanic.

00:19:03.000 It's from the pit of hell.

00:19:05.000 And we say as a community, not just one church, but as a community, that's not going to happen here.

00:19:12.000 And so the question is then, what do we do about it?

00:19:15.000 Let me just add one more thing and then we're going to talk about it because we have to have a total attitude change on this or else this thing is going to just capture Western civilization like all these other social contagions.

00:19:26.000 And we were going to wish that we were more bold when that guy came on a weeknight and told us about it.

00:19:31.000 I'm telling you, this thing is accelerating.

00:19:33.000 It is not slowing down.

00:19:34.000 It is financed by corporate America, to your earlier point.

00:19:37.000 It is supported by oligarchs, by billionaires.

00:19:40.000 Okay, but let me just close one point, which is an obvious, an obvious wrinkle that even the medical professionals that support this, it's the best way to counter it.

00:19:50.000 They'll say, well, it's the loving thing to do because the kids want it and it's going to help them.

00:19:55.000 Millions of young girls in the last couple of decades have suffered from anorexia, okay, believing that they are overweight when in reality they are not overweight.

00:20:05.000 Emphasis on reality because you have to always come back to reality.

00:20:08.000 If an anorexic teenager goes to a doctor and says, I want liposuction, which is forcible fat removal, if the doctor administered liposuction, he would lose his license and possibly kill the patient.

00:20:23.000 Instead, the doctor should say, you're suffering under a delusion. 0.98

00:20:28.000 It's unloving for me to actually go suck the fat that doesn't exist. 0.99

00:20:32.000 You're believing something that is not true. 0.99

00:20:35.000 And that's exactly the same way that we should handle on the trans thing medically and professionally.

00:20:40.000 Okay, secondly, what do we do about it?

00:20:45.000 Look, I think we have to have a total attitude change.

00:20:46.000 We should not tolerate evil, period. 0.95

00:20:49.000 There is this fake pagan religion of Christians. 0.89

00:20:52.000 They said, well, Charlie, that's not very tolerant of you.

00:20:54.000 Where does it say I have to be tolerant of the demonic?

00:20:58.000 Yes.

00:20:59.000 Come on.

00:21:01.000 Where?

00:21:03.000 We must rebuke the demonic.

00:21:05.000 Not be tolerant of it.

00:21:07.000 Psalm 97, 10, if you love God, you must hate evil.

00:21:11.000 It's an act of worship to hate evil.

00:21:13.000 And some Christians say, well, Charlie, it's not very clear that it is, this is evil.

00:21:19.000 Sounds very clear.

00:21:19.000 What?

00:21:20.000 No, we hear this.

00:21:21.000 I get this all the time.

00:21:22.000 Or Charlie, it's not very clear.

00:21:23.000 And this is as flagrant.

00:21:25.000 If you cannot see this as good from evil, then your moral compass is so messed up, so blurred.

00:21:33.000 And so what is the attitude change that we have to have?

00:21:36.000 Yes, you should not support companies that do the trans thing. 1.00

00:21:39.000 Do so proudly.

00:21:40.000 We're done with it.

00:21:42.000 In this upcoming month of June, I mean, it's just nauseating.

00:21:46.000 For a group that is allegedly oppressed, they get a lot of airtime and a lot of corporate support.

00:21:52.000 Pride month, you know, LGBT and the trans thing in the window. 1.00

00:21:56.000 I thought you guys are oppressed.

00:21:57.000 You have flags everywhere.

00:21:59.000 You are the most successful conquering oppressed force in the history of the culture. 0.97

00:22:05.000 We're oppressed.

00:22:06.000 Meanwhile, we control every corporation.

00:22:09.000 Every single company has our flag.

00:22:11.000 Everyone wears our little pin.

00:22:13.000 If you say something wrong, you lose your job.

00:22:15.000 And they still get to convince us that they're oppressed.

00:22:19.000 It's the most sinister marketing lie.

00:22:21.000 You can't make this up.

00:22:23.000 You control everything.

00:22:25.000 You control Hollywood.

00:22:26.000 You control the National Basketball Association.

00:22:28.000 You control the National Football League.

00:22:31.000 You control social media.

00:22:32.000 You control the banking system.

00:22:33.000 You control Congress.

00:22:34.000 You control the intelligence agencies.

00:22:37.000 And yet they still in the same breath say that everything's rigged against us.

00:22:40.000 There's just so much hate.

00:22:42.000 You know where there is hate? 0.52

00:22:43.000 There was a Christian hate crime of six people that were killed by a trans person in Nashville.

00:22:48.000 And then Biden comes out and says, trans people are under attack.

00:22:52.000 No, Christians are under attack in our country, Mr. Biden.

00:22:55.000 Christians are under attack. 1.00

00:22:58.000 And so what do we do about it?

00:23:01.000 We got to have an attitude change.

00:23:02.000 Call it out. 1.00

00:23:03.000 Anytime this trans garbage comes across your life, don't put up with it. 1.00

00:23:08.000 If there's a young person that happens to be trans, keep them away from anyone that might try to chemically alter them and get them to an actual medical health, mental health professional that does cognitive behavioral therapy and does not engage in this gender affirming nonsense. 1.00

00:23:21.000 Those people are out there.

00:23:22.000 You can find them.

00:23:23.000 You can find those medical professionals.

00:23:24.000 They've been doing it for years.

00:23:26.000 This used to be the standard operating procedure of the American Psychiatric Association.

00:23:30.000 It was called Gender Dysoria Standard of Treatment of Care.

00:23:33.000 You can read the 85-page document.

00:23:34.000 It worked with a high efficacy rate.

00:23:36.000 You take a 16-year-old, they think they're another gender.

00:23:39.000 You go through steps.

00:23:40.000 You go through a process, you ask them questions, it's clinically proven, but something changed.

00:23:44.000 No one was getting more powerful when all of a sudden gender dysphoria was getting healed. 0.74

00:23:48.000 So they decided to say, Let's weaponize gender dysphoria and turn it into a tyrannical weapon against the decent and the ordinary because these people never stop. 0.92

00:23:57.000 All they know is how to take more terrain and take more ground and to accelerate. 0.99

00:24:01.000 Because it wasn't enough that they were able to upend traditional marriage in the States.

00:24:06.000 They needed the next thing. 1.00

00:24:08.000 And the next thing was gender confusion and gender dysphoria.

00:24:12.000 And the next thing after this will be that you can identify with any age of what you want to be.

00:24:16.000 And that if you want to be a pedophile, if you think I'm exaggerating, that is coming very quickly, everybody.

00:24:21.000 In fact, it's already here in certain elements here in California.

00:24:24.000 It's happening very quick.

00:24:25.000 If you think you could be whatever gender, who's to say you can't think you can be any age?

00:24:29.000 I identify as a 14-year-old or I identify as a 30-year-old.

00:24:32.000 You could be whatever you want.

00:24:34.000 And so what do we do about it is that the church needs to speak clearly about it.

00:24:38.000 We shouldn't put up with this nonsense.

00:24:39.000 We have to police our language.

00:24:41.000 Stop calling men that are women women and stop calling women that are men men. 0.97

00:24:45.000 Be precise in it.

00:24:46.000 Just don't put up with it.

00:24:48.000 Like, I'm not going to call you that.

00:24:49.000 I'm sorry.

00:24:50.000 You don't stop being a man just because you wear camouflage and I'll prove it to you. 0.99

00:24:56.000 You don't stop being a white person if you wear black face. 0.92

00:25:01.000 They're wearing woman face. 1.00

00:25:02.000 They're appropriating womanhood. 0.99

00:25:04.000 You're the same chromosomal makeup.

00:25:07.000 And finally, from a spiritual aspect, this is where I think the church has to lean in and we have to rebuke this evil, which is this is a war on God's design.

00:25:16.000 This is an intentional, all-out campaign and crusade.

00:25:21.000 God made man and woman in his image.

00:25:25.000 And so, so, Greg, look, this is this is a time of testing.

00:25:28.000 It really is.

00:25:29.000 And then finally, the one that is the easiest.

00:25:31.000 I mean, I think it actually goes deeper than this, to be perfectly honest, but it's the one that we can all agree on: is you know, don't teach it to kids, don't put it, you know, in kids' classrooms.

00:25:40.000 I think transgenderism, the ideology in general, actually is bigger than just teaching it to kids.

00:25:45.000 I think it's a social contagion that spans all ages.

00:25:48.000 But the kid thing is so obvious.

00:25:50.000 It's such a consensus builder.

00:25:52.000 I believe that 80 to 90% of Americans agree with us.

00:25:55.000 I also believe 80 to 90 percent of Americans are terrified of the alphabet mafia coming after them and destroying their life. 0.99

00:26:02.000 Tell them to go to heaven, and we're not going to use their pronouns. 0.52

00:26:08.000 I love it.

00:26:17.000 I think it's your new diet.

00:26:19.000 I mean, you got more energy than you have ever had.

00:26:21.000 Thank you, Greg.

00:26:22.000 Yeah.

00:26:22.000 There's a lot of evil to hate.

00:26:24.000 I'm telling you.

00:26:26.000 So, let's talk about the church and its role.

00:26:31.000 And I think COVID was the great revealer.

00:26:35.000 It showed what the church, the soft underbelly of the church.

00:26:39.000 And so this is just accelerating that reveal of how weak the American church is, how compromised the American church is, and how we have embraced the doctrine of tolerance.

00:26:52.000 That we think it's a God thing when we tolerate a behavior.

00:26:57.000 So, you know, and we went through this thing with this pastor, this fake pastor.

00:27:04.000 I don't know if there was more than five ministers in this area that spoke up.

00:27:09.000 So, what do we do?

00:27:11.000 You know, my wife and I were talking about this.

00:27:13.000 It's like you see all these social movements that create all kinds of energy and they show up in masses and they make noise, but the church sits on its hands.

00:27:24.000 That's right.

00:27:24.000 Yeah, because the church business model is trying to accommodate the world and not offend anybody.

00:27:29.000 The gospel is offensive, okay?

00:27:31.000 It's offensive to sin.

00:27:33.000 It's offensive to the demonic.

00:27:34.000 It's offensive to the wayward ways.

00:27:36.000 We are all sinners.

00:27:37.000 And if you read the gospel, it should be offensive to your way of life, to all of us.

00:27:42.000 It should be personally offensive to our sinful nature.

00:27:44.000 Praise God.

00:27:45.000 Jesus died on that cross so that we can live in heaven.

00:27:49.000 Because let me say something that needs to be said.

00:27:52.000 If you are not offended by the gospel, then you believe yourself to be God.

00:27:59.000 The gospel is supposed to offend your way of life to get you back into alignment with God's command.

00:28:04.000 So people say, well, I don't want to offend anybody.

00:28:07.000 I find that to be so just nauseating.

00:28:09.000 You haven't even thought about what that means.

00:28:12.000 Secondly, how great is this church and how great is it, Greg?

00:28:14.000 He's doing such a good job.

00:28:17.000 I really mean that.

00:28:19.000 You're one of the best, Greg.

00:28:21.000 You're bold.

00:28:21.000 You said something that really moved me today with the pastors.

00:28:24.000 You said, how would you preach if you didn't need this job?

00:28:27.000 And that's how you preach every single Sunday.

00:28:30.000 And you have a special one here.

00:28:32.000 I travel the country.

00:28:33.000 I can name some great ones.

00:28:34.000 Jack Hibbs is amazing.

00:28:35.000 Pastor Urigan and Luke Barnett.

00:28:38.000 You're up there.

00:28:38.000 You're right at the top of the list in the country as one of the boldest and one of the most courageous pastors for such a time as this.

00:28:44.000 You deserve a lot of credit for that.

00:28:45.000 You really do.

00:28:46.000 Thank you, Charlie.

00:28:50.000 But we got to make our voices louder.

00:28:54.000 And so we have a saying we use during COVID a lot.

00:28:54.000 Yes.

00:28:58.000 Let me hear you roar.

00:28:59.000 And we made a lot of noise in this room, but we got to make a lot of noise out there.

00:29:04.000 Yes, we do.

00:29:05.000 And that's so salt and light are two things that change the environment that they come in contact with.

00:29:11.000 And Jesus used those metaphors for a reason, so that we have to go into environments that do not look the way that we want them to look and change them to brighten them up, to make them saltier, to make them more in the image of what God desires for his people here on earth.

00:29:27.000 And so, look, I am encouraged by how many pastors are out there that are taking a stand, but they're not a vast majority.

00:29:34.000 Now, I'm going to challenge some of you here tonight that if this is not your home church, maybe it should be, maybe it shouldn't.

00:29:40.000 I think it should be, right?

00:29:41.000 But maybe you have a good church and you have a great connection to them.

00:29:45.000 Then you have an obligation, you have a duty to hopefully be filled up. 0.99

00:29:48.000 And if you are being led by a coward, you need to lovingly confront that coward. 0.98

00:29:52.000 You might say, well, Charlie, how do I know if I have a coward running my church? 0.99

00:29:56.000 Very simple.

00:29:57.000 Did they take time to celebrate the reversal of Roe versus Wade last summer? 0.92

00:30:03.000 If they did not do that, you're being led by a coward who should resign from the ministry.

00:30:09.000 Now, because I actually, I got asked a question the other day.

00:30:14.000 They said, Charlie, you know, when is God going to make a move in this country?

00:30:18.000 When is he going to intervene?

00:30:20.000 I said, oh, he has, and he did.

00:30:21.000 We just don't notice it or celebrate it.

00:30:24.000 Right.

00:30:24.000 40 years, I was, for 40 years, America was told Roe versus Wade was law, untouchable.

00:30:29.000 My entire life, I was told Roe versus Wade would never be repealed.

00:30:33.000 Don't even think about it.

00:30:34.000 Don't even waste your prayers on it.

00:30:36.000 Don't even whisper it.

00:30:37.000 Don't even get near it.

00:30:40.000 But because of a surprise election of a billionaire man coming down an escalator, winning an election you wasn't supposed to win.

00:30:50.000 And Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh doing the right thing.

00:30:53.000 We reversed it, but you could just imagine God from the heavens.

00:30:58.000 Yeah.

00:30:59.000 Okay.

00:31:00.000 Babies are going to lives are going to be saved.

00:31:02.000 And 95% of my churches don't even say thank you.

00:31:04.000 Wow.

00:31:05.000 And we want God to do more in our country?

00:31:07.000 Yeah.

00:31:10.000 95% of pastors said, yeah, God, no thanks.

00:31:14.000 I'm not interested.

00:31:16.000 Stop supporting those churches.

00:31:18.000 Leave them.

00:31:20.000 Confront them and say, either you're going to start to be a man of God or I'm leaving and I'm going to make sure that other people leave as well.

00:31:26.000 This is not the time for the vanilla middle.

00:31:28.000 This is not a time for the people that say, I only preach the gospel.

00:31:31.000 Yeah, you know, Jesus loved children too.

00:31:33.000 So why don't you talk about children being perverted by drag queen story hour? 0.99

00:31:36.000 Yeah.

00:31:38.000 I only preach the gospel.

00:31:40.000 You think Jesus would put up with that?

00:31:42.000 You think Jesus would put up with drag queens, men in thongs, and local hot. 1.00

00:31:47.000 You guys laugh.

00:31:48.000 That's what it is.

00:31:49.000 It's all across the country.

00:31:50.000 It's not isolated.

00:31:52.000 And so, look, American pastors, there's a lot of problems with American pastors. 0.99

00:31:57.000 Largely cowards. 0.98

00:31:58.000 Some are complicit, like that one down the road, Lummis, Space Sin or whatever the name is, right? 0.98

00:32:02.000 Yep. 1.00

00:32:02.000 Total coward. 1.00

00:32:03.000 She resigned from the ministry, not a pastor, heretic. 1.00

00:32:06.000 And very bad person, and because he's embracing all the trans stuff in the pit of hell. 1.00

00:32:11.000 And but there's a lot of people that are cowards. 0.97

00:32:12.000 They say, I don't get involved in this stuff.

00:32:14.000 I don't do that.

00:32:15.000 They're exactly the same attitude that Eric Metaxas lays out in his amazing book, Letter to the American Church, of when the Nazis were taken over and German churches said, ah, I don't get involved in politics.

00:32:26.000 Hitler's Hitler, but we're just going to do the gospel. 0.91

00:32:29.000 You know, the Holocaust, not my problem.

00:32:32.000 And I say this and the media goes nuts when I say this.

00:32:36.000 I never, in eighth grade, I remember the teacher that taught the Holocaust and she did a brilliant job. 0.99

00:32:40.000 Mrs. Thomas, and she moved me and it was informative and it was emotional, but it bothered me because I said, because I actually thought people were naturally courageous, you know, useful naivete.

00:32:49.000 And I said, how could people let this happen?

00:32:50.000 This is so obviously cruel.

00:32:52.000 Where were the bystanders?

00:32:53.000 Where were the good people?

00:32:54.000 And she didn't have a good answer.

00:32:55.000 Most people don't.

00:32:56.000 I totally understand how it happened now.

00:32:58.000 I totally see it.

00:33:00.000 I mean, it is, it doesn't, the human norm is to sit idly by while evil marches.

00:33:05.000 It's the Christian who stands against evil and says no more.

00:33:09.000 And right now it's the Christian that some Christians that are saying, please give me more, or some of the Christians that say, I want nothing to do with it.

00:33:16.000 And so, but all of you play an active role in that. 0.77

00:33:19.000 This room and the overflow rooms, I guarantee you, some of you are connected to a cowardly pastor in this community.

00:33:25.000 Confront them lovingly and ask them a series of questions.

00:33:28.000 Ask them, why didn't you celebrate the reversal of Roe versus Wade?

00:33:32.000 Why don't you teach us anything meaningful of how what we're doing connects with the news?

00:33:35.000 Why don't you tell our local community what's going on with the social contagion of trans? 1.00

00:33:39.000 Why don't you talk, just ask five or six questions?

00:33:41.000 And if you get a bunch of gobbledygoop or a bunch of just beta male responses, say, see you later, I'm going to destiny.

00:33:46.000 Like, I'm not going to keep on doing this.

00:33:48.000 Or go to one of these amazing churches.

00:33:50.000 We have all these pastors.

00:33:52.000 And by the way, we have some great pastors.

00:33:55.000 I'm not here just to promote destiny.

00:33:56.000 And Greg, you know, I sure appreciates it.

00:33:59.000 But the point is, like, find a courageous church, lean into it.

00:34:02.000 And this is not the time.

00:34:05.000 And if you can win them towards boldness and courage, then great.

00:34:08.000 But you guys have a lot of sway over these pastors.

00:34:10.000 I'm telling you.

00:34:11.000 When they start to see their flock walk away, when they start to see their tithe, that's all they care about, ties and offerings, right?

00:34:17.000 That's true.

00:34:18.000 Nickels and noses.

00:34:19.000 What? 0.95

00:34:19.000 Nickels and noses. 0.95

00:34:20.000 Yeah, I mean, buildings and budgets, right?

00:34:23.000 And maybe baptisms, but mostly buildings and budgets.

00:34:25.000 That's what the American church is focused on.

00:34:28.000 And as soon as those tithing, ties and offerings start to evaporate, their business model gets put in jeopardy, right?

00:34:33.000 And they might not be able to sell their book, you know, back to their congregation or whatever these people do.

00:34:37.000 It just infuriates me, right?

00:34:39.000 Then you got to leave.

00:34:40.000 You got to do something about it.

00:34:41.000 But here's the good news, though, Greg.

00:34:42.000 And I have to say this, that California has some of the healthiest, most engaged, most involved, most, the most just incredible churches of the entire country.

00:34:54.000 I've now had a chance to speak at well over 100 churches across the country.

00:34:58.000 And there is no place like the remnant here in California.

00:35:01.000 And you are all actively involved in that.

00:35:03.000 And in fact, I want to set me up.

00:35:05.000 Yeah, I want to set you up for this.

00:35:07.000 So I've even preached right here that we're in the midst of Sodom and Gomorrah.

00:35:12.000 I've said it.

00:35:13.000 We are on the gates of hell.

00:35:15.000 We're right there.

00:35:16.000 I'm going to challenge that.

00:35:17.000 I know you are, and you already did.

00:35:18.000 And I loved what you said because I think it's prophetic in nature.

00:35:23.000 And these people, see, we're in the valley of dry bones, Ezekiel 37, right here.

00:35:28.000 And there's a resurrection coming.

00:35:31.000 And you see it a different way because I said, man, we are so dark, so evil.

00:35:37.000 People are leaving the state.

00:35:39.000 And you said, no.

00:35:41.000 Well, I agree with all of that, but I disagree with what city you guys are.

00:35:46.000 So I think New York City is Sodom.

00:35:48.000 I do.

00:35:50.000 Let me tell you a true story.

00:35:52.000 We do these events all across the country free of charge, right?

00:35:55.000 We've been blessed to have a really amazing following at Turning Point USA.

00:36:00.000 240,000 people give us money every single year.

00:36:03.000 It's praise God, right?

00:36:04.000 And we're so blessed by that.

00:36:05.000 And by the way, so many of you guys do that, and we're blessed by that.

00:36:08.000 It really is amazing.

00:36:10.000 And so we announced we were doing an event in New York City and we ran radio ads and all of that and we had like 22 people RSVP'd in a city of 7 million, right?

00:36:19.000 And, you know, we kind of like a rumor goes out that I'm going to Orange County.

00:36:25.000 We have like a thousand RSVPs.

00:36:26.000 It's like unbelievable.

00:36:28.000 And not just that, but you see what they did to Trump.

00:36:31.000 And we could talk about that if you want, which was just such an insult to the American Constitution.

00:36:36.000 It's such an insult to our customs and our traditions.

00:36:38.000 By the way, they're coming after you.

00:36:39.000 He just happens to be in the way.

00:36:40.000 Make no mistake, okay?

00:36:42.000 He just happens to be in the way.

00:36:44.000 And you see what they've done with James O'Keefe raiding his apartment and Steve Bannon under indictment and Dinesh D'Souza.

00:36:50.000 I think New York is Sodom.

00:36:52.000 I think California is Nineveh.

00:36:54.000 That's good news, people.

00:36:56.000 Now, that is good news.

00:36:57.000 For those of you that say, so let me just remind you, right?

00:37:03.000 They ought to read the Bible.

00:37:04.000 It's an interesting book.

00:37:06.000 To teach you something, found in the book of Jonah, okay?

00:37:10.000 And there's more than Jonah and the whale, right?

00:37:12.000 That's just one part of it.

00:37:13.000 God calls Jonah to Nineveh, decides to rebel, goes the opposite direction.

00:37:16.000 God says, no, no, no, not so fast.

00:37:18.000 Spends three days in the whale, actually really prophesying prophetically the resurrection, right?

00:37:24.000 Is really what it was.

00:37:24.000 But then he eventually gets to Nineveh.

00:37:26.000 And the amazing turn of events, he gets to Nineveh and he's like, hey, all of you guys need to repent.

00:37:30.000 And they're like, okay.

00:37:32.000 Yeah.

00:37:33.000 And they do.

00:37:34.000 And they get largely restored to righteousness.

00:37:37.000 Nineveh has hope.

00:37:38.000 That's what I'm getting at.

00:37:39.000 Yes.

00:37:40.000 Is that Nineveh was broken.

00:37:41.000 Nineveh was depraved.

00:37:43.000 Nineveh was rebellious against God.

00:37:45.000 But Nineveh was not Sodom.

00:37:48.000 And I think God had a heart for Nineveh to send a Jonah to call for repentance, which is the precursor to revival. 0.62

00:37:54.000 God is not done with California, everybody.

00:37:57.000 I'm telling you, there is so much fight in this state.

00:38:03.000 And I'm going to prove it to you, Greg.

00:38:05.000 I'm going to prove it to you politically, okay?

00:38:07.000 Nancy Pelosi would not be speaker of the house if it was not for the seats that California flipped and delivered. 0.98

00:38:14.000 If California would have just sat on their hands and would have not done their job, Nancy Pelosi would still be speaker of the house.

00:38:21.000 There is fight left in this state.

00:38:23.000 There is hope in this state.

00:38:26.000 Yes, it's a long-term project.

00:38:28.000 Yes, it seems overwhelming.

00:38:30.000 Yes, it seems as if we can't do it.

00:38:32.000 But you know what?

00:38:34.000 You have to put your hope in God.

00:38:36.000 But when I come here and I see thousands and thousands of people show up to our events, and I see some of the most amazing people that are in California preaching the word and people giving their life to the Lord.

00:38:45.000 And I see people that are not leaving and they're still starting businesses and pouring in, despite all the trends that Nineveh, not Sodom, two totally different cities in the Old Testament that God had plans for.

00:38:57.000 You want to be Nineveh, by the way. 0.58

00:38:58.000 It doesn't end well for Sodom.

00:39:00.000 As I started off the evening, you know, Jesus said, all things are possible to those who believe.

00:39:07.000 See, I believe, you know, we are in a, we were in a drought and everybody was saying, it's going to take 10 years to break the drought.

00:39:17.000 And God said, wait, let me do this.

00:39:21.000 And we have the greatest snowpack in the history of California.

00:39:26.000 And the reversal came just like that.

00:39:29.000 Don't estimate.

00:39:30.000 Don't underestimate the power of God and what a revival could do in this state.

00:39:36.000 It would change it so quickly.

00:39:38.000 You'd be surprised.

00:39:39.000 And the key to this, and just to the pastors out there and all of you, is that you must be called daily to a place of repentance, right?

00:39:45.000 Repentance is the posture for revival, right?

00:39:47.000 We are all sinners.

00:39:48.000 We all shall fall short of his glory.

00:39:50.000 Rooted in repentance is humility, recognition of the divine, recognition of his perfect order, right?

00:39:56.000 Repentance is what the founding fathers were called to do by Jonathan Edwards, sinners in the hands of an angry God that led them to creating the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of the world.

00:40:05.000 That's why I love the Nineveh example: repentance can lead to righteous action.

00:40:10.000 Amen.

00:40:11.000 So, let's because our time, we're going to go some yeah, we're going to do some QA uh with the audience here, but uh, you know, we want to know what you think about the indictment of President Trump.

00:40:27.000 What is 2024 going to look like in the Republican side of things?

00:40:32.000 And uh, what do you see happening?

00:40:34.000 So, I'm curious.

00:40:35.000 You know, our organization is a 501c3 educational organization.

00:40:38.000 We also have a 501c4 turning point action, and so I just want to make that very clear for the 87,000 IRS agents that are watching our broadcast tonight that would love to shut down our operations.

00:40:48.000 It's very clear you got that, okay?

00:40:50.000 So, everything we do here is educational, talking about things that are eternally wise.

00:40:53.000 We also have a 501c4 turning point action.

00:40:56.000 We follow the laws very carefully and closely, unlike the left.

00:40:58.000 So, but I'm curious, I'm just curious.

00:41:05.000 And I mean this: just be as honest as you feel comfortable because I, you know, you guys are kind of if the if the primary held today, how many of you would vote for Donald Trump?

00:41:13.000 Raise your hand.

00:41:16.000 Wow, wow, and how many of you, maybe Ron DeSantis, raise your hand?

00:41:21.000 Okay, okay, did I say that 90-10?

00:41:25.000 Fair, 90-10, maybe 85, 85.

00:41:27.000 Okay, a third vote, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, Charlie Kerr.

00:41:34.000 No, okay, Charlie Kerr is very kind.

00:41:38.000 Not old enough, not old enough.

00:41:41.000 That Constitution, not old enough.

00:41:44.000 All right, um, that proves my point.

00:41:46.000 Donald Trump has only grown in popularity and he's grown in support since this indictment.

00:41:52.000 Um, this indictment should infuriate you, regardless of your own personal opinions of Donald Trump.

00:41:57.000 Okay, I don't care if you don't like him, I don't care if you don't like his tone, I don't care if you think he's a bad guy, I don't care.

00:42:03.000 I don't know, it means absolutely nothing to me.

00:42:06.000 The question is: is it acceptable that a local DA can use the legal system to indict and interfere with the presidential election over an absolute fictitious fabricated crime?

00:42:18.000 Of course not.

00:42:19.000 And so, there's multiple takes on this.

00:42:22.000 I think Donald Trump will end up being the nominee.

00:42:24.000 Um, I believe that he absolutely can win the White House.

00:42:31.000 When people say he can't win, I laugh.

00:42:32.000 He said, Well, he won before and he won again, so he'll have to win again.

00:42:39.000 And so, yeah, why can't he win exactly?

00:42:43.000 So, I always laugh when people say that, but I could go through all of it.

00:42:46.000 I talk about it frequently on my show.

00:42:48.000 I believe we could learn something from you guys here in California, we being the national conservative movement, of how you guys have successfully ballot harvested, voted early, and actually played the Democrats' game against them.

00:43:00.000 I think you guys have done a brilliant job there, and I think it actually has really proven to be fruitful in a lot of ways.

00:43:06.000 But look, the 24 race is going to come down to machinery, it's not going to come down to the candidate, it's going to come down to do we have free and fair elections?

00:43:14.000 I live in Arizona, my goodness, are we fighting tooth and nail for it?

00:43:18.000 Pray for us, honestly.

00:43:20.000 Every day we are fighting in the legislature.

00:43:23.000 Every day we're fighting in the courts.

00:43:24.000 Every day we're trying to help Kerry Lake and all of them try to fix our broken elections because there is no Republican president without Arizona, right?

00:43:32.000 I live in the state that is going to be the most critical, the most important.

00:43:36.000 So please, I mean it sincerely, pray for us and pray for an intervention of God in Arizona because we absolutely and totally need it.

00:43:43.000 But the race is going to be largely decided on machinery.

00:43:47.000 But I also want to take a step back from the politics of it and talk about things that I think are more immediate and more important.

00:43:53.000 Even than that, I'm very worried that this intentional group of gangsters that call themselves the American government are trying to destroy the American currency and put us towards a centralized bank digital currency.

00:44:03.000 This is the biggest issue that I wish the opposition party that calls themselves Republicans would talk about instead of sending money to Ukraine.

00:44:10.000 Instead of sending money to Ukraine, can you guys talk about how we're losing the world reserve currency status?

00:44:15.000 And I might offend some people here.

00:44:18.000 That is not my heart.

00:44:18.000 I mean that.

00:44:19.000 There might be mixed opinions on the Ukrainian issue.

00:44:22.000 It is a fact since we have stumbled into that quagmire.

00:44:25.000 Countries are now no longer using the dollar as the world reserve currency.

00:44:29.000 And that is a very bad thing.

00:44:31.000 Okay.

00:44:31.000 It is a dreadful thing.

00:44:33.000 It is awful.

00:44:33.000 It will impoverish our nation overnight.

00:44:35.000 Okay.

00:44:36.000 That's a lot more important than talking about systemic racism.

00:44:39.000 Okay.

00:44:40.000 So I'm incredibly, I'm concerned about that because there's so much ineptitude from our leaders.

00:44:46.000 And there's very little we can do about it.

00:44:48.000 Very little, except try to be self-reliant and invest in things that really matter.

00:44:55.000 If a currency collapse actually comes and we might see an even further run on the banks because the Federal Reserve needs to be abolished completely in its current form.

00:45:04.000 What they have done to our currency is an absolute nightmare.

00:45:09.000 So 24 is coming.

00:45:13.000 I don't want us to be overly focused on the macro political.

00:45:17.000 My bigger call to action is actually on the micro, is actually on what are you doing daily to become a better and stronger activist and patriot, a better child of God, a better father, a better friend.

00:45:32.000 You know, what are you doing to take terrain?

00:45:34.000 And then yes, when elections pop up, do your thing, because I think we're too focused on the macro.

00:45:41.000 And I think the macro, the bad macro news can create a lot of fatigue and depression and cynicism and disengagement, where if you're doing small daily tasks, as it says in the book of Nehemiah, Zarebabel says these are the days of long and hard work, of righteous work, when they were trying to rebuild the temple and they were discouraged, then the macro shouldn't impact you as much, right?

00:46:06.000 So what does that mean?

00:46:07.000 It means if you're young and if you're a college student, if you're a high school student here, you know, save yourself for marriage and get married and have a beautiful family.

00:46:15.000 That's something we should talk more about.

00:46:17.000 That's important regardless if the White House is won or not.

00:46:21.000 If you're an entrepreneur out there and you run a business, I hope you're able to scale your business to huge limits and become a George Soros and give all that money away so that you can fight these bad guys because we need really rich Christians to go pour hundreds of millions of dollars into these communities, right? 0.55

00:46:38.000 What I'm trying to say is that the macro is important, but it's not everything.

00:46:45.000 There's so much we can do from homeschooling our kids to building institutions, from just being a beacon of light and truth in local communities to starting more small groups, to praying for our friends, for fasting for our nation, for honoring the Sabbath, for honoring our parents.

00:46:59.000 I have seen a disturbing trend that I'm trying to push back against.

00:47:02.000 Anyone watch us on Real America's Voice, by the way?

00:47:04.000 Anybody?

00:47:05.000 Thank you guys.

00:47:06.000 I love the Real America's Voice audience.

00:47:08.000 They're hyper-engaged and they're the most opinionated of all of our audiences.

00:47:11.000 And I got a disturbing couple emails, Greg, where a group of people, 70 plus, were emailing me saying, Charlie, I don't think people should have children because things are so dark and they're so terrible.

00:47:22.000 I wouldn't want children to come into this world.

00:47:24.000 That is an evil thing to believe.

00:47:25.000 Let me just be very clear, okay?

00:47:27.000 Yes, it's dark, but as Martin Luther would say, even if the world was ending today, I would plant an apple tree.

00:47:33.000 I would do something that will bear fruit for future generations regardless of how bad things look right now.

00:47:39.000 And so it has to be a daily task.

00:47:40.000 And that's where community comes in.

00:47:42.000 I implore you to find community, a local turning point group, a local church, maybe here at Destiny.

00:47:48.000 Find people who share your values that are laboring towards the same cause.

00:47:52.000 That is going to give you invigoration.

00:47:54.000 It's going to give you encouragement.

00:47:56.000 And you're going to have to give yourself an honest promise, which is I'm in this for the rest of my life.

00:48:02.000 I'm not going to stop being engaged and involved.

00:48:04.000 If I get a macro win or a macro loss, I'm going to keep building.

00:48:08.000 I'm going to keep serving.

00:48:09.000 That my activism is actually a form of worship to the Lord regardless of how the outcome is.

00:48:15.000 We do not do the right thing based on us trying to get the right outcome.

00:48:19.000 We do it out of obedience to God.

00:48:22.000 And so 2024 election matters, but more important than that is an attitude that must not change of, I'm so thankful, Lord, that you have given me breath in such a time as this.

00:48:36.000 And I'm going to engage in my duty.

00:48:38.000 One of my favorite words that we don't teach young people anymore is duty.

00:48:42.000 You know why I love the word duty?

00:48:43.000 Duty comes down to I'm going to act correctly regardless of how I feel.

00:48:51.000 We teach our children the opposite.

00:48:53.000 We say that your feelings should determine your actions.

00:48:56.000 Your responsibilities and your duties should determine your actions, not your feelings.

00:49:08.000 We're in just a couple of minutes.

00:49:09.000 We're going to jump into some question and answers from our crowd here tonight.

00:49:14.000 But I think it'd be good because we have a phenomenal community.

00:49:18.000 We have a phenomenal community.

00:49:20.000 There are people here tonight that have taken a stand.

00:49:25.000 They've run for office, local office, county offices, and then also on the statewide.

00:49:33.000 And they're making a difference.

00:49:35.000 If you are a conservative leader in our community in the political arena, would you stand up?

00:49:43.000 I want to show appreciation.

00:49:44.000 Where are you people?

00:49:46.000 Come on, stand up.

00:49:46.000 You got to be more than two, three.

00:49:49.000 There we go.

00:50:01.000 We thank you for what you do.

00:50:04.000 We thank you for what you do.

00:50:07.000 If you can answer this in three minutes, because I want you to stay on schedule, but you're really hard to rein in, Charlie.

00:50:12.000 Your niece.

00:50:13.000 Now, I am a radio guy, so I can do three minutes. 0.90

00:50:16.000 Yeah, you're somewhat like my wife on a Sunday morning.

00:50:19.000 I mean, I want to preach, and then she's talking and things.

00:50:27.000 I'll take real quick.

00:50:29.000 There are a lot of people that have been in this fight and started with COVID, the election, and now they're engaged, but there's fatigue.

00:50:38.000 There's a soul fatigue.

00:50:40.000 They're tired of the battle.

00:50:42.000 And it seems like defeat after defeat after defeat.

00:50:45.000 And you mentioned, again, the difference between being discouraged and despair.

00:50:51.000 Encourage these people and tell them why they shouldn't despair.

00:50:54.000 Despair is a sin.

00:50:56.000 It's very clear in the Bible.

00:50:58.000 Despair is rebellion against the Lord.

00:51:01.000 You as a Christian should be filled with hope first and foremost.

00:51:03.000 You get to go to heaven.

00:51:05.000 So what are you despairing about?

00:51:07.000 Despair is you actively questioning the promise of Jesus.

00:51:14.000 So pray on that if you're despairing.

00:51:16.000 You can be discouraged.

00:51:16.000 Of course you can.

00:51:17.000 You got to live in reality.

00:51:19.000 Okay, yeah, this doesn't look good and this is bad and that's that.

00:51:21.000 So if you're if you're fatigued, I encourage you to adopt the blessing that God has right in front of you that is biblical, that works, that I have worked in my own life.

00:51:31.000 People say, Charlie, how do you keep up this schedule?

00:51:33.000 And you're right.

00:51:34.000 I mean, I do all the biohacking stuff.

00:51:36.000 You know, we have an unbelievable schedule, right?

00:51:39.000 Three hours of radio a day.

00:51:40.000 We do three podcasts a day, traveling the country, 300 speeches, running a 350-person organization.

00:51:45.000 But I have a biblical secret.

00:51:47.000 Well, it's not a secret.

00:51:47.000 It's just something that we as a country used to do, and we no longer do.

00:51:51.000 I turn off my phone and I stop Friday night to Sunday morning, full stop.

00:51:55.000 That's literally what Shabbat means, to stop.

00:51:59.000 So you want to get Charlie Kirk style energy?

00:52:02.000 You want to stay encouraged?

00:52:04.000 Stop.

00:52:04.000 Do what God told the Hebrews to do.

00:52:07.000 Now, I'm not telling you you're bound by the law.

00:52:09.000 I'm not saying that, but I am saying that it's probably a blessing that you're not picking up.

00:52:14.000 And I could say this from my own personal life experience, that all of a sudden, those other six days, you have more energy, you have more vitality.

00:52:21.000 And so imagine for those of you that are fatigued, for those that feel worn down, oh, Charlie, I'm too busy for that.

00:52:27.000 I will say this as kindly as I can.

00:52:29.000 If you're busier than me, I want to meet you.

00:52:33.000 Okay?

00:52:34.000 And I don't say that braggadociously, but that's impressive.

00:52:38.000 Like maybe Tony Robbins is busier than me, right?

00:52:41.000 And he's pretty busy, right?

00:52:42.000 But it's right up there.

00:52:43.000 So, but what I'm saying is that slow down for one day and turn all your phones and devices off.

00:52:50.000 Focus on your family.

00:52:52.000 Focus on the word.

00:52:53.000 Sleep in, right?

00:52:55.000 Focus on the things that actually matter.

00:52:57.000 Pray.

00:52:58.000 Fast.

00:52:58.000 That's the second thing.

00:53:00.000 If you are not actively fasting at least once a week and you're despairing or discouraged, then I don't know what to tell you.

00:53:07.000 Jesus says the hard things come to those who pray and fast.

00:53:09.000 I try to fast once a week.

00:53:11.000 Fasting is amazing.

00:53:12.000 A 24-hour fast can, first of all, metabolically, it's really, really good for you.

00:53:16.000 But spiritually, it's incredible.

00:53:18.000 Why is it incredible?

00:53:19.000 Because the enemy preys on your carnal desires.

00:53:23.000 Actively rejecting your carnal instincts and desires is a way of putting the divine above the temporal.

00:53:30.000 It can renew you.

00:53:31.000 It can realign your.

00:53:32.000 I'm a big fan of fasting.

00:53:33.000 I know you guys are a big fasting church.

00:53:35.000 You do it a lot.

00:53:35.000 But I encourage those of you that are discouraged or you're fatigued, take a Sabbath and then fast.

00:53:41.000 And then finally, which, you know, is read the word and read it seriously.

00:53:46.000 I'm not sure, but I would venture a guess that most Christians do not read the Bible 15 to 20 minutes a day.

00:53:54.000 Do you think they do, Greg?

00:53:56.000 I don't know.

00:53:56.000 Most Christians, I don't think so.

00:53:58.000 And I'm not saying this from a judgmental, like, oh, you're a bad person.

00:54:01.000 I'm actually saying it as the opposite.

00:54:03.000 I'm saying that you're missing out.

00:54:06.000 I'm saying that if you want to stop being miserable, then start doing this.

00:54:10.000 Like, if you want to just kind of always be discouraged and full of despair, then okay, then don't do it.

00:54:15.000 Like, just stay there.

00:54:16.000 But if you want to get better, then pick up the word.

00:54:18.000 It answers every question you have.

00:54:22.000 Every question.

00:54:24.000 And I'm going to say something that might get people.

00:54:27.000 Have I done this shtick at your church?

00:54:28.000 I think I've done this shtick.

00:54:29.000 I'm at 801.

00:54:30.000 I'm already over time.

00:54:32.000 Let me start and I'll interrupt you.

00:54:35.000 Have I done the fake Bible thing?

00:54:37.000 No, you haven't.

00:54:38.000 I want to hear it.

00:54:38.000 Are you sure?

00:54:39.000 No, I want to hear it.

00:54:41.000 It's going to be a riot.

00:54:42.000 They're going to stop reading the Bible on your phone.

00:54:44.000 Okay.

00:54:45.000 Get a physical Bible and I'm going to make the case for you.

00:54:48.000 Okay.

00:54:49.000 Now, there's exceptions to all rules.

00:54:51.000 If you're traveling and you got to read the word, okay.

00:54:53.000 Let me prove it to you.

00:54:54.000 A device that you use for other things can easily distract you when you're trying to learn, when you're trying to dive into the word and trying to come in contact with the eternal and with the divine.

00:55:06.000 Secondly, I know that my Bible has a feel, a texture, a weight to it that nothing else has.

00:55:12.000 And I want that dedicated to that, the sword, the gift, the door that the word represents.

00:55:19.000 And then finally, I want to be able to be held accountable by my wife and by my family that if I'm actually, are you really reading the Bible or are you texting people?

00:55:29.000 Are you really doing that?

00:55:31.000 There's no escaping it.

00:55:33.000 And so, but read the words.

00:55:34.000 Those are the three things I say.

00:55:35.000 If you are down, you're like, oh my goodness, I'm despair.

00:55:38.000 I have no energy and this seems overwhelming.

00:55:41.000 Honor the Sabbath.

00:55:43.000 Fast once a week and spend 15 to 20 minutes in the word.

00:55:46.000 I think it'll bless you immensely.

00:55:48.000 Amen.

00:55:49.000 Amen.

00:55:50.000 Your word brings life and health to me.

00:55:54.000 So, all right.

00:55:55.000 So we're going to do some Q ⁇ A. Let me be. 0.97

00:55:59.000 You guys can start lining up if you want.

00:56:01.000 Yeah, if you have a question.

00:56:02.000 But we do not want your life story.

00:56:05.000 And if you go too long, we'll let you know.

00:56:08.000 We want a question that Charlie can answer for you.

00:56:12.000 So please, there are going to be a lot of people who want to do this.

00:56:15.000 Let's honor each other.

00:56:17.000 So if you make your question concise and to the point.

00:56:21.000 Thank you.

00:56:24.000 All right.

00:56:25.000 Mr. Kirk, first of all, we want to apologize for your treatment in San Francisco.

00:56:31.000 And we may be 150 miles away, but we apologize for that.

00:56:35.000 And we don't believe how they believe.

00:56:38.000 My question to you is, Alvin Bragg has been subpoenaed to go to the House of Representatives.

00:56:44.000 Do you think that he's going to show up?

00:56:47.000 Probably not.

00:56:48.000 And if he doesn't, I had a Republican on my show and he didn't seem too convinced of this.

00:56:53.000 They should hold him in contempt of Congress and send a criminal referral to the Department of Justice, just like they did to Steve Bannon.

00:56:59.000 They might not do anything with it, but the rules should equally apply.

00:57:03.000 Alvin Bragg is a bad dude, pure and simple.

00:57:06.000 He's funded by George Soros, just like Chesa Boudin was and Kim Fox is.

00:57:11.000 We can do a whole thing on George Soros if you want, but I'm not sure if he's going to show up.

00:57:17.000 I'll go a level deeper, and it's time for us to realize that we're in a very uncomfortable moment in America right now.

00:57:25.000 One side is outwardly and brazenly and proudly using political power and one side is not.

00:57:29.000 They're not going to stop unless they're stopped.

00:57:31.000 And the way to stop them is not just subpoenas or house oversight.

00:57:34.000 The way to stop them is Republican attorneys general and Republican DAs and they start indicting leading members of the American Democrat Party and they need to start to go to jail.

00:57:44.000 I do not say this in any way that gives me joy or delight.

00:57:48.000 But how about this?

00:57:49.000 Let's just start with the fraud that was BLM. 0.65

00:57:51.000 Okay.

00:57:52.000 BLM raised $100 million from donors across the country.

00:57:56.000 Therefore, there's jurisdiction all across the country.

00:57:59.000 And they ripped them off and they defrauded them.

00:58:01.000 No one has gone to jail.

00:58:03.000 No one's been indicted.

00:58:04.000 Okay.

00:58:04.000 There needs to be a message that if it truly no one is above the law, then okay, then a former Democrat president needs to go to jail.

00:58:10.000 Because Bill Clinton, there's a lot there.

00:58:12.000 Let me tell you.

00:58:14.000 And let's start with Epstein's Island.

00:58:16.000 And from there, you can really start to pick apart what, how do I say this in a way? 0.96

00:58:21.000 Really pick apart what motivates some of these very sick and perverted people. 0.94

00:58:25.000 Bill Clinton should have to answer, hey, how young were the girls that you were with on that island? 0.84

00:58:30.000 Why doesn't a local Republican DA do that?

00:58:32.000 Some people say, oh, Charlie, that's not very nice.

00:58:34.000 I'm done being nice.

00:58:35.000 I want to win.

00:58:43.000 Hi, my name is Michelle LaMonica.

00:58:45.000 I'm a political constituent here in California.

00:58:48.000 I've been at the Capitol multiple times fighting evil bills.

00:58:53.000 How do we handle a governor who makes up his own rules, who uses the school system, our innocent, vulnerable children whose brain is not developed until they're 21 to groom them and to tell them and feed them lies?

00:59:11.000 This is horrible.

00:59:13.000 I went to 70 churches, Senate Bill 24.

00:59:16.000 I went to 70 churches and I said, raise up the truth and go to the Capitol with me.

00:59:24.000 Maybe one or two churches went.

00:59:26.000 Senate Bill 24, I went to the Capitol and I spoke.

00:59:30.000 What was it?

00:59:31.000 It was the abortion pill.

00:59:33.000 And I spoke against it because they lied.

00:59:37.000 These Democrats, excuse me if you're a Democrat, these liberals told these college students over 200 college girls showed up and they told him it was the same thing as taking an aspirin to remove.

00:59:52.000 And now we had to pay, we have to pay millions of dollars in taxes for abortion clinics at colleges.

01:00:00.000 And you want to hear one more? 0.92

01:00:02.000 Senate Bill 145.

01:00:04.000 You know what that is?

01:00:05.000 That is an older man or older woman can prey on an underage teenager 10 years younger than their age and no legal ramifications.

01:00:17.000 You know what this transgender stuff is? 1.00

01:00:20.000 This is human trafficking. 1.00

01:00:22.000 If they could take our kids and deform them, then they're going to take them out of the home. 1.00

01:00:27.000 And that's what our governor is taxing us for, taxing us for excessive abortions. 1.00

01:00:34.000 Proposition one, abortion up until the ninth month.

01:00:38.000 What's the question?

01:00:39.000 The question is, how do we defeat an absolutely evil Gavin Newsom?

01:00:45.000 And I hope you're listening to this, Gavin, because I'm after you and I'm not done with you.

01:00:51.000 Can I answer?

01:00:52.000 Of course you can.

01:00:56.000 The answer is quite simple.

01:00:58.000 The answer is in this room.

01:01:00.000 The answer is the 10,000 churches in California.

01:01:04.000 The answer, I appreciate everything that you're doing, but if the pastors of our churches in California would speak and mobilize their church, Gavin Newsom would not be our governor anymore.

01:01:23.000 Great answer.

01:01:24.000 Great answer.

01:01:26.000 Hi, Charlie.

01:01:27.000 I saw you at UC Davis.

01:01:29.000 I'm a senior in high school and I'm attending TCU in the fall.

01:01:33.000 So very excited for that.

01:01:36.000 I also got the opportunity to volunteer for Kevin Kiley's campaign.

01:01:39.000 He is our representative for our third district.

01:01:42.000 He's doing a great job for you guys, by the way.

01:01:44.000 He's doing a great job.

01:01:46.000 So since I go to an all-girls Catholic private high school, I've had incidences where teachers are very specific on their opinions, you know, very one-sided, you know, do not like other sides of political views, you know, can't be conservative.

01:02:05.000 Had a theology teacher who prayed for a special rosary for the 2016 election.

01:02:12.000 Girls that are very for abortion. 0.99

01:02:15.000 Yeah, didn't work.

01:02:16.000 But what can I do?

01:02:20.000 Here's my question.

01:02:20.000 So what can I do when I'm in a situation like this where I have to suck it up, suck up my opinion for a good grade in a class?

01:02:28.000 Got it.

01:02:29.000 Great, great question.

01:02:30.000 I get this question all the time.

01:02:31.000 So you have to make a choice.

01:02:33.000 The earlier you make this choice in your life, the freer and happier you will be.

01:02:37.000 So you have the Charlie Kirk opinion and the Ben Shapiro opinion.

01:02:40.000 And I think the world of Ben Shapiro, okay, but we see this completely differently.

01:02:43.000 Ben's position, and I'm not misrepresenting it.

01:02:46.000 He went to Harvard and he mentions that, right?

01:02:49.000 And he says, look, just lie and tell them what they want to hear and write the paper as they want to hear it and just pander to the liberal thing, get the best grade, and then you have the credential and then you can influence.

01:03:02.000 I don't think grades really mean anything.

01:03:04.000 I don't.

01:03:05.000 I think the entire academic system is largely a sham.

01:03:08.000 And I think college is a scam.

01:03:11.000 Literally.

01:03:14.000 But more importantly, I don't think it's right to lie.

01:03:18.000 And I would challenge you and you can make a decision, right?

01:03:22.000 Do you want to be the person that sits idly by when evil things happen because you're told to suck it up?

01:03:28.000 Grades mean really nothing to me.

01:03:30.000 It means nothing that you went to Yale or Brown or Stanford.

01:03:34.000 It means absolutely nothing.

01:03:35.000 I care about your character.

01:03:37.000 And we know this in human psychology, and we know this, that if you lie a little, you'll lie a lot.

01:03:41.000 And if you get used to lying, you'll do it even more.

01:03:43.000 And it becomes character comes from a Greek word, which means that which is etched in, that which is tattooed, that which is imprinted.

01:03:50.000 I think that's very instructive to know the root of the word character because it's who you are.

01:03:54.000 It's in your DNA.

01:03:55.000 So in high school, I was disagreeable.

01:03:57.000 I was vocal.

01:03:58.000 I got graded differently for it, right?

01:04:01.000 And yeah, I mean, I didn't get always the perfect grades.

01:04:03.000 I did fine, but things worked out.

01:04:06.000 I think God will bless you if you tell the truth.

01:04:09.000 And so, but you have to make that decision, right?

01:04:11.000 Do you want to lie and get a good grade?

01:04:14.000 Or do you want to tell the truth and see where the grade ends up?

01:04:18.000 Only you can answer that.

01:04:19.000 Most parents tell their kids to lie.

01:04:21.000 Most parents tell their kids to say things that are not true because in most suburban conservative households, getting a good grade is more important than being ethical.

01:04:31.000 I think that's a mistake.

01:04:33.000 Thank you.

01:04:35.000 So let me, I wanted to get as many questions as possible.

01:04:40.000 And I appreciate the people who have gone before.

01:04:43.000 Please just give us, so Charlie can respond.

01:04:46.000 Just give us the question.

01:04:48.000 Hey, yeah, Charlie, so I'm the senior leader of a Christian ministry to LGBTQ.

01:04:55.000 And so, and that's what I came out of.

01:04:57.000 And so, of course, I have the compassion for how it feels, you know, to be trapped in a world where you feel one way and you read that the Bible says you should feel another way, right?

01:05:09.000 And so my, but I'm agreeing with, I mean, we've got to rally the church to the truth.

01:05:15.000 We have to not be allowing drag queen story hour, et cetera, because that's leading people into deception and pain. 1.00

01:05:22.000 So my question is, how do we rally the church like you're doing, like you did such an amazing job at, to the truth?

01:05:30.000 No, because what I know is that therapists can help these people, but there are so few.

01:05:36.000 The best solution to LGBTQ is a healthy church.

01:05:40.000 So how do we rally the church to stand up for these things and to push back the evil, all of the things you're rallying without getting a church that's so angry about this issue that they run over all of the many people that are dealing with this?

01:05:54.000 There was a beautiful question earlier of, you know, are we lifting up the ideal as well, right?

01:05:59.000 So for everything we condemn, are we also elevating the beauty?

01:06:02.000 And I'll be, you know, I got married two years ago.

01:06:04.000 And I'll be honest, you know, it might not be cautious, but, you know, I was doing a lot of church tours when I told people I was getting married.

01:06:11.000 And, you know, people would be like, oh, well, you know, you're about to go to your funeral and your old life is over.

01:06:16.000 And no, but it's very interesting.

01:06:18.000 And everybody laughs.

01:06:19.000 The way that the Christian world treats marriage is kind of like your free self is dying. 0.99

01:06:26.000 And you guys might not know you're doing it, but we do not celebrate the idea of biblical marriage for young people well at all.

01:06:35.000 And I mean, part of it is because, you know, I, thankfully, my parents never divorced, but I mean, most marriages I knew in my local area fell apart and divorced.

01:06:43.000 So that's just kind of like a cynicism there.

01:06:45.000 But there's beauty in a man and woman coming together in a covenant, right?

01:06:50.000 Coming together in a marriage.

01:06:54.000 It's so beautiful.

01:06:55.000 And so I think that has to be part of it.

01:06:57.000 I will say, though, that we have to be careful.

01:07:00.000 And I don't think this was your question.

01:07:01.000 We have to be careful not to pander to the sensitivities of the alphabet mafia. 0.95

01:07:05.000 You know, at times, you know, there'll be gay or transgender people that will say, well, Charlie, I just don't like the tone coming out of the church. 0.99

01:07:12.000 Yeah, like, sorry, excuse my tone.

01:07:13.000 There's men in thongs dancing in front of eight-year-olds.

01:07:15.000 Like, yeah, my tone gets a little heated.

01:07:17.000 Like, I'm not going to like tamper down my language because excuse me when I get a little righteous indignation Old Testament on you, right?

01:07:24.000 Because you guys are chopping off the parts of a 10-year-old, right?

01:07:28.000 So I think we have to be careful not to take cues.

01:07:31.000 At the same time, I think I try to strike a balance of making it clear that we do love these people, but we truly hate what they're doing to themselves.

01:07:43.000 And that's a very important distinction.

01:07:46.000 So how do we rally the church?

01:07:47.000 We got to tell the truth.

01:07:49.000 We got to tell the truth repeatedly.

01:07:52.000 Thank you.

01:07:55.000 Yes, Charlie, welcome.

01:07:56.000 We're so glad you're here.

01:07:58.000 Question for both of you.

01:07:59.000 Being a 501c3, how do you navigate between what you can say from the pulpit and endorsing a candidate versus what the Johnson Amendment says?

01:08:10.000 He's an expert.

01:08:13.000 So, I mean, churches handle it differently, right?

01:08:15.000 I mean, Jack Hibbs and Pastor Rob McCoy, they'll bring, you know, they'll bring candidates up, endorse them on stage, film the entire thing and send the sermon to the IRS asking the IRS to come after them.

01:08:28.000 No, it's real.

01:08:30.000 And they're like, come on, bring it on.

01:08:32.000 And why won't they?

01:08:32.000 Why won't the IRIRM bring it on?

01:08:35.000 Why won't the IRS bring it on?

01:08:36.000 Yeah, why won't they bring it on?

01:08:37.000 They might be understaffed or they might be afraid the Johnson Amendment might actually be unconstitutional and that a test case like Jack Hibbs could actually go to the U.S. Supreme Court and it's against religious liberty protected speech.

01:08:48.000 That's probably maybe.

01:08:50.000 But I'm not telling you to do that.

01:08:52.000 Some of you, some pastors out there are inheritors of a church they did not found and they want to be stewards of that church and I totally appreciate that.

01:08:59.000 There's a lot you could do within 501c3 guidelines that is still safe harbor.

01:09:03.000 You could do voting guides.

01:09:04.000 You could talk about biblical voting.

01:09:06.000 You can give your own personal opinions, right?

01:09:08.000 You can have both candidates and both parties be invited for a debate or a forum.

01:09:11.000 And if one doesn't show up, that's fine.

01:09:14.000 There is 501c3.

01:09:15.000 No, it's true.

01:09:16.000 I mean, you invite them both and whoever shows up, fine.

01:09:19.000 I mean, those rules, I mean, we run a 501c3 and we have a C4, right?

01:09:23.000 So we have both.

01:09:24.000 And that's another thing.

01:09:25.000 As a church, you could start a sister organization as a 501c4 that could be called, you know, Destiny Political Action.

01:09:32.000 And that's the one that is, you know, more vocal and more forceful on that.

01:09:35.000 It's all based on kind of your tolerance of how aggressive you want to be, right?

01:09:40.000 At Turning Point USA, you know, we are extremely stringent on those regulations and rules for many reasons because they're the rules and the regulations.

01:09:48.000 But also we have a 501c4 that is able to be just bold and clear.

01:09:52.000 So there's no reason to even get close to that line.

01:09:54.000 So we, if you're educational in nature, you're able to follow that.

01:09:57.000 But a lot of this is fear that the church is believing that quite honestly, there's a lot more that the church can do that they don't even recognize or realize.

01:10:06.000 And finally, Kamala Harris in a broadcast to hundreds of black churches right before the election was brought to speak and give political speeches.

01:10:15.000 Left-wing black Democrat churches violate the Johnson Amendment on a weekly basis.

01:10:21.000 I'm not saying to do that, but that is something that people don't even recognize or realize.

01:10:26.000 So that's my best answer to that question.

01:10:29.000 I would say, you know, like we had Larry Elder here.

01:10:33.000 We had Anthony Tromino here.

01:10:34.000 We had county supervisors who are running for office, school board members.

01:10:40.000 I acknowledge them.

01:10:42.000 People are smart enough.

01:10:43.000 They can read between the lines too.

01:10:45.000 And also, if Gavin Newsom wants to sit down for a 90-minute interview, I think Pastor Greg would love that.

01:10:52.000 Come on.

01:10:54.000 Thank you.

01:10:57.000 Hi, Charlie.

01:10:58.000 I'm actually the Bay Area Field Representative that hosted Riley Gaines at San Francisco State this past week.

01:11:04.000 Thank you.

01:11:08.000 Next week, we're actually hosting John Root at San Francisco State.

01:11:12.000 And needless to say, our students are feeling the pressure because they're receiving numerous hateful messages, and the school has been less than helpful.

01:11:20.000 And in fact, they're actively trying to shut down the events.

01:11:23.000 So I was wondering if you had any words of encouragement or advice for our brave students at San Francisco State and any words for San Francisco State itself.

01:11:32.000 So let me just emphasize this.

01:11:34.000 The Riley Gaines thing happens and our turning point kids say, let's go do another event.

01:11:39.000 That's pretty cool, isn't it?

01:11:42.000 That's the remnant, everybody.

01:11:44.000 That's the attitude we need to have.

01:11:46.000 Those Turning Point USA students at San Francisco State have every reason to back down, not do the event, go into the summer.

01:11:53.000 But they say, no, we're in this culture.

01:11:55.000 We're to win.

01:11:57.000 That's really, that's really amazing.

01:11:58.000 That's what we believe at Turning Point USA.

01:12:00.000 Words of wisdom, it's very simple.

01:12:02.000 You got to tell them it's going to be difficult, but you're going to get tougher and stronger.

01:12:06.000 You will be anti-fragile.

01:12:08.000 Your opponents will be fragile.

01:12:09.000 They're so fragile that they have to try to kidnap the opposition when they come on campus.

01:12:14.000 You need to tell them that they're going to smear you, they're going to slander you, but life is very hard.

01:12:19.000 Life is difficult.

01:12:21.000 But you're going to now have the metaphorical muscles to be able to deal with a tough life.

01:12:25.000 You're going to now know what it means to be under stress, to not sleep the night before, to have to, you know, adrenaline pumping through just because you're having a guest speaker, have to stand for your beliefs, go up against a tyrannical authority.

01:12:36.000 Good.

01:12:37.000 You're prepped for the 21st century.

01:12:39.000 The trans opposition, they are the weakest people because they've never actually had to do that.

01:12:45.000 They get everything handed to them.

01:12:46.000 Finally, my message to San Francisco State University: you better not cancel the event because you guys are bound by the First Amendment, and you better believe we got great lawyers that would love to file a lawsuit if you guys try to block our event.

01:13:03.000 I'm a parent of four kids, two of which are in public high school.

01:13:08.000 And I would like to know what you would say to Christian parents of kids going to public school here in California.

01:13:16.000 Is it time for Christians to take their kids out of public school? 0.99

01:13:20.000 And I want to be clear.

01:13:20.000 Yes, it is.

01:13:23.000 I say this with no judgment because people have financial burdens.

01:13:26.000 You know, they're single family.

01:13:27.000 If you have a kid in government schools, God bless you.

01:13:30.000 I'm going to help you.

01:13:31.000 I'm going to give you some ways that you can help your kid, right?

01:13:33.000 But if you have the financial means to do it, if you're able to even stretch a little bit, take your kid out.

01:13:38.000 Now, let me challenge the premise, okay?

01:13:40.000 If you are willing for your kid to go into debt to go to college, why aren't you willing to take on debt to have your kid go to a private Christian elementary school?

01:13:50.000 Right?

01:13:51.000 I'm just trying to just lovingly challenge a little bit because I would argue the elementary and high school is actually more important to go into debt for than the college.

01:13:59.000 Okay?

01:14:00.000 Now, if you are in that circumstance, you say, Charlie, I can't pull my kid out of government school.

01:14:04.000 It's too much on me.

01:14:04.000 I can't do it.

01:14:05.000 I'm working two jobs.

01:14:06.000 We're financially strained.

01:14:07.000 We're already in debt.

01:14:08.000 We had a bankruptcy.

01:14:08.000 I totally get it.

01:14:09.000 Okay.

01:14:10.000 My first piece of advice is go to your local church.

01:14:13.000 And if it's destiny, ask for help.

01:14:16.000 Ask and you shall receive.

01:14:17.000 Plead your case.

01:14:18.000 You guys have a school and you're building even bigger one.

01:14:20.000 You'd be amazed at how generous financial support could possibly emerge through prayer and fasting and asking.

01:14:26.000 If you make your case, I got two kids.

01:14:27.000 I don't want them to get this trans stuff. 1.00

01:14:29.000 Can you guys give me a financial break for this local Christian school?

01:14:32.000 Donors will step up.

01:14:32.000 You'd be amazed.

01:14:34.000 Maybe not.

01:14:34.000 Maybe everyone will say no and everyone's heart will be hardened.

01:14:37.000 I doubt it.

01:14:37.000 But it's amazing how few people actually come and ask because they think they'll be told no.

01:14:42.000 Leave it to God.

01:14:43.000 Humble yourself to say, I'm in a tough financial situation.

01:14:45.000 I want to keep my kid out of government school.

01:14:47.000 Can you help me, please?

01:14:49.000 I have not run into a pastor that would say, you know what?

01:14:52.000 You're on your own.

01:14:54.000 Most pastors would say, boy, let's try to make it work.

01:14:56.000 You know, let's look at your financials.

01:14:57.000 You're going to have to be open.

01:14:58.000 Let's really see what situation you're in.

01:14:59.000 Maybe we could loan you the money.

01:15:00.000 Here's a donor.

01:15:01.000 Like the amount of willingness in the Christian world to help make it happen is extraordinary.

01:15:06.000 But it takes you to have to check the pride to have to go to tell the pastor that you might need a little financial help to get over the hill.

01:15:14.000 There is no other reason to keep your kids in government schools.

01:15:17.000 Zero.

01:15:18.000 Oh, it's about sports.

01:15:19.000 Okay, private, your kid can be an all-American as a homeschooler, too.

01:15:22.000 Like, I don't understand.

01:15:23.000 Like, it's about sports.

01:15:24.000 I mean, or they say that I want them to be a ministry to other kids in the local high school.

01:15:30.000 Okay, first of all, they're still developing.

01:15:32.000 Okay, education is about to lead forth.

01:15:34.000 If you want your 15-year-old to go on a mission trip, send them to Zambia. 0.97

01:15:38.000 Okay, like that is not what high school should be about.

01:15:41.000 I say this lovingly: 99% of Christian parents that send their kids to high school thinking it's a mission field ends up realizing that all of a sudden it is filled literally with landmines.

01:15:53.000 And they're like, oh my goodness, my kid's unrecognizable.

01:15:55.000 So, but if you have a kid in government schools, then you have to all of a sudden become the teacher.

01:15:58.000 You have to be actively involved in deprogramming.

01:16:01.000 Every time they come back, you have to take Hillsdale online course.

01:16:03.000 You have to hawk there at Coleman.

01:16:05.000 You have to be the teacher's worst nightmare.

01:16:05.000 You have to ask questions.

01:16:08.000 And at that point, you're like, why don't you just homeschool yourself?

01:16:11.000 I mean, it takes so much work.

01:16:12.000 I don't get it.

01:16:13.000 But I'm not trying to tell you what to do.

01:16:14.000 Here's what I'm going to tell you.

01:16:16.000 We're going to homeschool our daughter.

01:16:18.000 Okay.

01:16:19.000 And if we ever send her to a school, it will be to a classical Christian school with an armed guard.

01:16:24.000 And you better believe I will vet all that curriculum, right?

01:16:26.000 And it's going to be very robust.

01:16:28.000 I'm not, government school is never going to happen.

01:16:31.000 I would never send somebody I love to a government school.

01:16:33.000 You might disagree, but I'm telling you, you're playing Russian with their values. 1.00

01:16:45.000 So I just wanted to ask your opinion on something because usually it's right.

01:16:50.000 Wow.

01:16:51.000 That's very fun.

01:16:52.000 So if Ron DeSantis decided to run for president, would you support it?

01:16:58.000 And who would you see yourself voting for Trump or DeSantis?

01:17:01.000 Sure.

01:17:01.000 I've answered the question many times, but I'll answer it again for you.

01:17:05.000 And so I say this personally, not on behalf of Turning Point USA.

01:17:08.000 I'm all in for Trump 2024, 100%.

01:17:12.000 And I love Ron DeSantis.

01:17:14.000 I consider him a friend.

01:17:16.000 And I wish him very well if he runs.

01:17:18.000 I think he can, you know, do pretty well and finish second.

01:17:22.000 But Trump is, Trump's an unstoppable force.

01:17:26.000 There was three minutes of that Tucker Carlson interview that was one of the wisest, deepest foreign policy monologues that I've heard of foreignly.

01:17:34.000 It was so brilliant.

01:17:34.000 I don't even think people realized how good it was when he was talking about Macron and the world's reserve currency status.

01:17:40.000 I'm sorry, I found my MAGA hat in my closet afterwards and I was like, we need more of this Trump.

01:17:46.000 Less of the, you know, and I love the president.

01:17:49.000 I call him.

01:17:49.000 We're good friends.

01:17:50.000 He's been so good to me.

01:17:51.000 And I'll tell, I'll talk about in a second on that.

01:17:53.000 And this is not just a commercial for Donald Trump because he definitely has some things he has to improve.

01:17:57.000 He's got to get off the vaccine thing, 100%.

01:18:00.000 He's got to pick better people around him.

01:18:02.000 And the Fauci thing is something he's got to deal with.

01:18:04.000 I say that as someone who's completely on the bandwagon, right?

01:18:08.000 The vaccine is a major attack vector.

01:18:10.000 It's not good.

01:18:10.000 He was swindled by Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Johnson and Johnson, and Moderna.

01:18:14.000 But okay.

01:18:15.000 But the other point that I want to make, though, is that, you know, if Ron DeSantis and Trump run, fine, it can be contentious.

01:18:21.000 He'll win.

01:18:22.000 But I think Ron DeSantis is America's greatest governor.

01:18:25.000 Ron DeSantis has done an unbelievable job.

01:18:27.000 He's kept the state open.

01:18:29.000 He's bold and courageous.

01:18:30.000 He cares for the people of the state amazingly.

01:18:32.000 I love the man.

01:18:33.000 And I don't like when Trump attacks DeSantis.

01:18:36.000 I've said that publicly.

01:18:36.000 I've said that privately.

01:18:37.000 It bothers me.

01:18:39.000 Focus on that Tucker Carlson interview, Mr. President, is my advice, right?

01:18:42.000 Focus on how you could do better deals with Macron and end the war in Ukraine and hold the CCP accountable and keep us as the world reserve currency.

01:18:48.000 That's going to make you more popular than ever before, right?

01:18:51.000 That's my own personal opinion.

01:18:53.000 Final thing I'll say is: would I support him?

01:18:56.000 There was another wrinkle to the question, was there?

01:18:58.000 I don't remember, but yeah, okay, I think I answered the question.

01:19:01.000 So, yeah, I did.

01:19:03.000 But anyway, everyone, you guys can have your own opinions.

01:19:06.000 My personal opinion is: let's not try to have a long, drawn-out, contentious primary unnecessarily.

01:19:11.000 Let's instead invest as much money as possible into a robust early voting ballot chasing operation in Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin.

01:19:19.000 Build a machine that can compete with the Democrats.

01:19:22.000 Make sure we have ethical and fair and transparent elections in Wisconsin and Georgia and Arizona and coalesce around a single candidate.

01:19:29.000 I think that candidate will and should be President Donald Trump.

01:19:32.000 Do everything we can to get him focused on the messages that resonate, which is trade deals, international geopolitics, ending wars, strong borders, national sovereignty, and America revitalization.

01:19:42.000 We do that, we can win in 2024.

01:19:45.000 Thank you.

01:19:55.000 Hi there, Charlie.

01:19:56.000 Thank you for coming here and not giving up on California.

01:20:00.000 My name's Jason.

01:20:01.000 I am a Marine Corps veteran, 27-year police veteran.

01:20:04.000 I'm a patriot.

01:20:09.000 I will lay down my life for this country and any person in this room.

01:20:15.000 But I am discouraged.

01:20:16.000 I'm discouraged by what I saw in the 2020 election and the 2022 that gave us Biden in the White House, Senators Raphael Warnock, John Fetterman in Pennsylvania, and even the reelection of Gretchen Whitmer.

01:20:31.000 And from what I can tell, this all went down in six very strategic states, the fraud, the massive amounts of fraud.

01:20:39.000 Those six states were Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia.

01:20:50.000 My question to you is: what is the pushback?

01:20:53.000 What is the fight to curb all of this fraudulent voting in those six states?

01:20:58.000 If you can break them down, at your level, you would know more than the rest of us.

01:21:02.000 So I try to zero in on even three less.

01:21:04.000 It just is going to take Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, if we win Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, and Iowa, which we will win.

01:21:10.000 And again, I'm speaking personally, not on behalf of Turning Point USA.

01:21:13.000 You guys can laugh, but these maniacs are out of control at the IRS.

01:21:16.000 So I'm speaking personally.

01:21:18.000 So it's going to just take Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin.

01:21:21.000 Okay.

01:21:21.000 So let me tell you one thing we have to fix that is really bothering me.

01:21:25.000 Okay.

01:21:26.000 That is the wrong reaction to a legitimate problem.

01:21:29.000 And this is why good intentions do not mean anything.

01:21:34.000 It's what you do.

01:21:37.000 There were 500,000 people that did not even bother to show up in the 2022 midterms that voted for Donald Trump to go vote for Herschel Walker.

01:21:46.000 There were 280,000 in Arizona that did not bother to show up to go vote for Kerry Lake.

01:21:50.000 Yes, some of them were disenfranchised because a day of.

01:21:54.000 And some, but some also, because I learned this, we received thousands of emails, and they're not fake of people that say, Charlie, I'm done voting.

01:22:02.000 I intentionally did not vote in the midterms.

01:22:05.000 I'm proudly no longer voting.

01:22:06.000 I'm proudly no longer engaging in a fraudulent system.

01:22:10.000 That is a really bad idea.

01:22:13.000 You are doing the work of the enemy.

01:22:15.000 Now, let's play it.

01:22:17.000 You guys know Pascal's wager, maybe or maybe not, which is that it's better to believe in God because it's a better risk.

01:22:23.000 It's a better probability than it is not to.

01:22:25.000 Well, let's call this Trump's wager.

01:22:28.000 If you do not show up, there is a 100% guarantee that the bad guys are going to win.

01:22:33.000 If you at least go through the 12-minute process that it takes to vote, there's at least a sliver.

01:22:38.000 So we have to have everybody show up.

01:22:40.000 You have to.

01:22:40.000 You have to leave it to God.

01:22:42.000 You have to at least do that thing, okay?

01:22:42.000 You have to do it.

01:22:44.000 Because we're not even doing that.

01:22:46.000 I'm worried we're going to see the greatest self-inflicted voter suppression operation happening in 2024 because people will say, you know what?

01:22:53.000 Why should I vote if the system's broken?

01:22:55.000 The second thing we have to do is, and I'm very underwhelmed by the RNC.

01:22:59.000 I'm a huge critic of the RNC.

01:23:00.000 I encourage you to stop giving money to the RNC.

01:23:02.000 I do not think that they are good stewards of your money or resources or finances.

01:23:06.000 And they don't like it.

01:23:07.000 They're coming after me very hard.

01:23:08.000 But I love you guys too much to lie to you.

01:23:10.000 I tell you the truth.

01:23:11.000 We need to get lawsuits filed the same way Mark Elias filed them in Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin and get rid of the drop boxes and get signature verification.

01:23:21.000 Realistically, it's probably not going to happen in a lot of those states.

01:23:24.000 We just lost a critical Wisconsin Supreme Court justice seat in Wisconsin, and most people don't even know it.

01:23:29.000 So look, here's the honest truth is we're going to have to ballot harvest.

01:23:33.000 We're going to have to early vote.

01:23:34.000 We're going to have to try to catch them in the cheating.

01:23:36.000 We're going to have to try to file lawsuits and show up in big numbers.

01:23:39.000 And it's a 50-50 shot.

01:23:40.000 I'm going to be very honest.

01:23:42.000 And people don't like it when I say this.

01:23:43.000 I'm not going to give you hopium.

01:23:44.000 When people say, oh, we're going to win in a landslide.

01:23:46.000 No, we're not.

01:23:47.000 These people have a machine of ballot harvesting, ballot chasing, early voting, fraudulent votes, you know, double voting.

01:23:47.000 No.

01:23:54.000 So we're left with nothing but bad options, honestly.

01:23:57.000 And so we have to act righteously and we have to do the right thing.

01:24:01.000 We have to try to play at their own game.

01:24:03.000 But the worst thing we could do is give up and not vote at all.

01:24:07.000 That's where we're at.

01:24:12.000 This will be the last question.

01:24:15.000 Hi, Charlie.

01:24:16.000 It's good to see you again.

01:24:17.000 My name's Richard.

01:24:18.000 I'm the guy that you called an old fart in Davis about a month last month.

01:24:21.000 Oh, did I do that?

01:24:22.000 Yeah, senior citizen that got assaulted by Antifa, but I'm not senior yet.

01:24:27.000 Yeah.

01:24:27.000 Okay.

01:24:28.000 Anyways, the question I have is, you're a guy that loves to look at things realistically and deeply with optimism.

01:24:35.000 And for 30 years, I have struggled with what I've seen with the destruction of our American economy by mostly the demon krauts. 1.00

01:24:43.000 And this thing you mentioned earlier about our dollar value freaked me out when I saw Brazil, South Africa, these other nations go away from using our dollar.

01:24:53.000 I'm much more worried about the digital currency thing.

01:24:56.000 I'm thankful DeSantis, at least in his state, doing the right thing there.

01:25:00.000 However, question really quickly.

01:25:01.000 I'm starting to have the question last time.

01:25:03.000 What do you think about this thought that this might be backfiring for our American dollar?

01:25:08.000 It might be hurting these other countries more than us that they're stepping away from it.

01:25:11.000 Yeah, potentially.

01:25:12.000 We don't know how this is going to end, but I believe this is an intentional sabotage campaign by the great reset crowd to end the dollar as the world reserve currency.

01:25:20.000 And that will impoverish every single person in this room in a way I cannot put into words.

01:25:24.000 You will have 25% inflation overnight because all of a sudden all the dollars will become flooding home and they'll say, oh, we don't need these dollars as our reserve.

01:25:31.000 We're going to send them back to America. 1.00

01:25:32.000 You will have 25% inflation overnight.

01:25:34.000 You think inflation is bad now?

01:25:36.000 Wait all of a sudden until every industrialized country sends back the dollars they have as the reserve, as the barter, as the ability to be able to do transactions.

01:25:44.000 I think they want that.

01:25:45.000 I think they're trying to break the currency.

01:25:47.000 This is where I am honest and I'm realistic.

01:25:49.000 The only thing you can do is prepare.

01:25:52.000 This is out of your control.

01:25:54.000 Congress is a waste of time.

01:25:55.000 They're a bunch of gutless wonders on this topic.

01:25:57.000 They're afraid of the Federal Reserve.

01:25:59.000 They're afraid of the Treasury Department.

01:26:00.000 Charlie, what does that mean?

01:26:01.000 I'm not telling you what to do with your money, but I own a lot of metallics.

01:26:07.000 I do own Bitcoin.

01:26:08.000 Yeah, I do.

01:26:10.000 I was getting there.

01:26:10.000 I got it.

01:26:13.000 Somebody wants to give you some advice.

01:26:14.000 Yeah, no, that's fine.

01:26:16.000 I own things that I think are outside of the traditional banking system, cryptocurrency.

01:26:20.000 I said this at a church recently in the place, you know, the media wrote it up.

01:26:24.000 I invest in bullets because they appreciate in value.

01:26:26.000 They're always good.

01:26:27.000 And you could always, that's not a joke, by the way.

01:26:29.000 They go up in value.

01:26:30.000 You want to know, you bought a lot of bullets 10 years ago.

01:26:32.000 They're like 10 times more valuable than they were 10 years ago.

01:26:35.000 But real estate and land will always have value.

01:26:37.000 So I encourage you guys to hold on to your real estate if it's possible.

01:26:40.000 I'm not an investment guy, but you just have to prepare.

01:26:42.000 Find people smarter than me, because if this system collapses, don't be taken by surprise, right?

01:26:47.000 And I'm not trying to scare you.

01:26:49.000 I'm not trying to alarm you.

01:26:50.000 I am realistic.

01:26:51.000 You are correct.

01:26:52.000 I always tell you the truth.

01:26:54.000 We are within the 50 to 60% chance that they intentionally obliterate the dollar as a world reserve currency in the next 18 months.

01:27:01.000 It's easier said than done.

01:27:03.000 There's a backstop against it, but it's within striking distance.

01:27:06.000 And that would make the great reset possible.

01:27:08.000 And I'm afraid that's what they want.

01:27:10.000 So, okay, thank you.

01:27:12.000 So, all right, last question, and then we have to be done.

01:27:14.000 All right, I'm sorry.

01:27:16.000 Hi, Charlie.

01:27:17.000 Thank you for coming.

01:27:18.000 My question to you is: what advice would you give a high schooler that's trying to fight back against the liberal school system?

01:27:27.000 It's a great question.

01:27:28.000 What a great question, isn't that?

01:27:29.000 That's terrific.

01:27:30.000 So, let me make, I'm going to answer it in a second, but let me make a couple announcements.

01:27:35.000 Number one, we have our books outside for a gift of any amount, a dollar, five dollars, ten dollars.

01:27:40.000 You guys can get a copy of my book, The College Scam.

01:27:42.000 Hardcover, best deal.

01:27:43.000 We know inflation is crushing you.

01:27:45.000 If you can do more, then give more.

01:27:46.000 If the Lord has blessed you, then give more.

01:27:49.000 All the proceeds go to Turning Point USA, not to me personally.

01:27:52.000 But if you, hey, if you're getting crushed by inflation, I want you to have this book, give a buck, get the book, okay?

01:27:56.000 So, it's the best deal in town.

01:27:58.000 All right.

01:27:58.000 The second thing is: if you guys can help me personally, this is something that I would love to have you guys do: I'd love the chance to earn my favorite word in the English language, earn the chance to become a daily news source for you.

01:28:11.000 So, if you guys could take out your phones and subscribe to our podcast, if you're not already, I know many of you are.

01:28:16.000 I know some of you have gone through this.

01:28:18.000 This is so important to helping us stay cancel-proof against the big tech censors.

01:28:24.000 You guys follow that QR code and you just press the subscribe button, which is the plus sign in the upper right-hand corner.

01:28:31.000 If you don't know what a QR code is, there's an eight-year-old running around here somewhere.

01:28:36.000 If you want to do it the old-fashioned way, you open up your phone and you type in Charlie Kirk show, and then you hit that plus sign.

01:28:42.000 You might say, Oh, Charlie, it doesn't matter.

01:28:44.000 I can't put into words how much that helps grow our audience and our podcast.

01:28:49.000 So, thank you, thank you, thank you.

01:28:50.000 And then, finally, what if you're a high schooler and that was your question, right?

01:28:54.000 Is start a Turning Point USA chapter.

01:28:56.000 That's the first thing I encourage you to do.

01:28:58.000 But this applies to people of all ages, which is commit to a lifetime and an attitude of doing meaningful things for the Lord and for liberty.

01:29:07.000 You got to say, I'm signing up for my life.

01:29:09.000 I'm signing up to keep on building, to keep on doing things, to push back against tyranny.

01:29:13.000 And it is easy to despair, but remember, despair is a sin.

01:29:16.000 You, as a Christian, are not allowed to despair.

01:29:20.000 And so, try to find community, try to find people that share your values and associate with them.

01:29:25.000 And that's what Turning Point USA is there for.

01:29:26.000 So, if you guys can follow that QR code, I'd be blessed by that.

01:29:29.000 And, Greg, back to you.

01:29:31.000 I'm going to say thank you to Charlie in just a minute, but I want to give you some instruction.

01:29:35.000 I've been around here a while.

01:29:38.000 We are going to be Christians in the parking lot.

01:29:43.000 Okay?

01:29:44.000 It's going to take a while, but you're willing to go to Sacramento Kings and give your money to them.

01:29:50.000 And it's a lot more challenging to get out of there than it is.

01:29:53.000 So, you be nice to each other.

01:29:55.000 All right.

01:29:56.000 Be nice to each other.

01:29:57.000 Now, whatever you can do to support Charlie, do it.

01:30:01.000 All right.

01:30:02.000 What he just mentioned, also financially supporting their organization, all the above.

01:30:09.000 Help this man out.

01:30:10.000 He is a voice that we desperately need in America.

01:30:17.000 Lastly, let's all get on our feet and thank Charlie Kurt.

01:30:23.000 God bless you, guys.
