00:00:16.000That is your portal to help support us.
00:00:19.000Our team, our researchers, our editors, the travel costs, everything around the production of the Charlie Kirk show.
00:00:27.000You know, with all the cancellation and all the bad guys coming after people that are trying to tell the truth, when you support us at charliekirk.com slash support, you are saying no to cancel culture.
00:00:37.000You are saying no to the digital assassins.
00:01:25.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:32.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:16.000So, Charlie, I think we should just jump into it because I want to give people as much time with you as possible, but do just want to say thank you.
00:02:24.000We know that you being here has a cost to it.
00:03:14.000So those five fake religions need to be identified, and they're very similar to some of the fake ideologies and religions that existed when the Bible was actually written in river civilization pagan times.
00:03:26.000And I gave a whole speech at Awaken San Marcos about this.
00:03:30.000I also gave a speech at TCU about this, but I'll go through it really quick.
00:03:34.000And the argument is that most people who say they're atheistic or who say they're secular, they're actually, they're living a religious life.
00:03:45.000They're just living a fake religious life.
00:03:47.000And so the five fake religions, as I identified them, and there could be six or seven, but the five major ones, earth worshipers, otherwise known as environmentalists, right?
00:04:26.000And then finally, what I consider to be the most dangerous, the most immediately dangerous of all the fake religions is the religion of anti-racism and the religion, or the cult of diversity, if you will, right?
00:04:39.000And that one is the biggest immediate threat to the American Republic.
00:05:00.000I believe that he is part of the Godhead.
00:05:03.000I believe the Bible is inerrant, and I am a proud Christian.
00:05:06.000If you are not, though, you must be willing to accept the fact that as America becomes less Christian, something damaging will replace it.
00:05:16.000And this is something that we do not talk enough about, which is the secularists and the atheists, or even the people that say, you know, I don't like Christianity because of the hypocritical pastors or because of the skinny genes or because of whatever, right?
00:05:29.000You know, you pass the test, by the way, the skinny gene test.
00:05:32.000Not everyone at Awaken passed skinny genes.
00:05:54.000We are more depressed, more suicidal, more alcohol-addicted, more drug-addicted as we become less Christian.
00:06:00.000The Wall Street Journal has come out with a poll in the last couple of weeks that church involvement, local community involvement, having children, belief in God have collapsed by double digits in the last couple of decades.
00:06:12.000And what is replacing it is these manufactured, synthetic worldviews that I believe some of them have satanic influences and demonic elements to them.
00:06:22.000And it's creating moral and societal chaos.
00:06:26.000And so even if you do not believe in Christianity, I encourage you to be honest enough to say that as America becomes less Christian, it will become less free.
00:07:28.000And he wrote some unbelievably graphic books.
00:07:31.000I'm not going to get into it because it will ruin your night, but I could just say one of the quotes from Dr. Kinsey is he said he had a view of child sexuality that is completely different than what all of us would believe.
00:07:42.000He said, the only unnatural sex act for a child is that which the child cannot perform.
00:07:47.000So he believed that children are sexual beings, that children should have sex with adults.
00:07:53.000He did graphic sexual experiments with children as young as six months old.
00:07:57.000He clinically observed them being raped multiple times.
00:08:00.000Not an exaggeration, not a misrepresentation.
00:08:02.000Dr. Kinsey, and he is considered to be a genius in the academic world.
00:08:06.000So this idea of children not being innocent is nothing new.
00:08:12.000It used to be a fringe idea, but now it's being really widely accepted.
00:08:17.000They believe that they are liberating children from the Christian Western norms of saving yourself for adulthood for sexuality, that you liberate yourself to a higher consciousness if you engage in this behavior at a younger age.
00:08:50.000But there's another reason to the trans deal that's important, right?
00:08:54.000So everybody here tonight, I would venture a guess, believes a couple fundamental things, that there is a God and we are not him.
00:09:01.000The five fake religions, they do not acknowledge that.
00:09:04.000And one of the reasons why the trans movement is being adopted by the abortionists is it's a fundamental belief that we are here to make nature in our image.
00:09:14.000And they look at themselves in godlike terms.
00:09:17.000So the abortionists, the fundamental philosophical agreement that the abortionists have is that we, human beings, should be able to determine life and death as we see fit because we want to be like gods, right?
00:09:30.000It is a yearning to have the power that only God has, right?
00:10:22.000They believed that God made the world with a harmony and a rhythm, that there's a logos to the world, that we want to explore it with wonder and awe, but we did not create the world, and we're not here to try to change nature to our liking.
00:10:35.000Something changed in the 1800s, largely by a group of Hegelians that believed, they were German historicists, that they said, wait a second, if we have this power to inquire into nature, why don't we change nature to our own liking?
00:10:51.000Now, mind you, this satanic idea pathogen was nothing new, but 100 years later resulted in the Nazis trying to exterminate an entire people, okay?
00:11:01.000The eugenicist movement is based on the will of the human being to exert control over nature because I want it that way.
00:11:16.000The trans movement is that same philosophical idea pathogen that I am going to change the chromosomal makeup of a being because I want it that way.
00:12:19.000It's a reconfiguration of our norms, our practices for a mentally delusional minority.
00:12:25.000And that somehow we have to reconfigure all of our society for people that are obviously tormented by something.
00:12:31.000And instead of giving them compassionate care, we have to change our language and we have to change our bathrooms and we have to change our sports.
00:12:47.000They want to introduce a pattern of thinking that your nature, if you do not like it, you can go through a series of choices to wage war on creation itself.
00:13:01.000And first of all, not only is that dangerous, it's also not true.
00:13:07.000And this is what is so, this is what's so deceiving about the trans movement: despite all of the surgeries, despite the hysterectomies and the breast removals and all of the quote-unquote gender-affirming care, it does not change that you are still a woman or you are still a man.
00:13:39.000The media mercilessly attacks me with this, but it's trying to create the beginning stages of man merging with machine.
00:13:48.000It's trying to create you to be open-minded to transhumanism, which is right around the corner.
00:13:55.000That if your child is less than five years old, they will be a generation where they're going to try to convince you that if you can be transgender and you can change your gender, you can change your species and you can hook up to a machine and be like God.
00:14:38.000I mean, if you read the Gospels, Jesus was loving, compassionate, but he was not kind to people that use their power and abuse their power.
00:15:38.000Do you give liposuction to someone who has anorexia?
00:15:44.000Someone who has a mental delusion that believes they are overweight and they say, Doctor, I need liposuction because I want to lose weight.
00:15:52.000The doctor would lose their license if they played into their mental delusion.
00:15:59.000If you want to be, if you love somebody, you love them enough to tell them the truth that will bring them to a place where they could flourish.
00:16:08.000Instead, you know, this idea of being, I don't even, it has to be said in context, but I'll use a different one, right?
00:16:15.000Where they say, well, you have to be nice, okay?
00:17:22.000And, you know, I speak at a lot of Calvary churches, Calvary Chapel, founded by Chuck Smith, and they're very focused on eschatology.
00:17:28.000In fact, one of my closest friends and mentors, Jack Hibbs, is probably one of the most, I think, amazingly, amazing theologians on the end times.
00:17:36.000And so I don't know if we're in the end times.
00:18:16.000Did Jesus tell you to stop being salt and light if things got hard?
00:18:19.000If you actually believed the end times were coming, if you really did and you were not a theological coward, then you would actually want to lean in.
00:19:50.000It is one of the most important things you have to do.
00:19:53.000In fact, I have a heart for LDS waging that war within that community right now because I'm seeing just nonsense come out here and there, and it's really troubling to me.
00:20:04.000And it's too bad because the LDS world used to be one of the most reliably conservative organizations and institutions and communities, and it's becoming less and less so.
00:20:15.000And so you have to be vigilant here in Utah.
00:20:38.000And these idea pathogens are attractive because the fastest growing religions, those five religions, are counterfeit substitutes for Christianity.
00:22:45.000What about who's in charge of your community or what laws govern your community?
00:22:49.000Oh, we don't do that because it's too controversial or it's too messy.
00:22:55.000Okay, this is what really bothers me about most Christians and most weak pastors.
00:23:00.000And most churches have very, very weak pastors, and they're just so afraid to engage in this stuff because they haven't been trained or they haven't been educated in this stuff properly.
00:23:10.000You have to ask the question: what is a human being?
00:23:12.000If a human being is made in the image of God, it changes the entire game, changes the whole ballgame, right?
00:23:18.000Therefore, is Jeremiah 29, 7 true, right?
00:23:20.000Jeremiah 29, 7 says, seek, it's the Hebrew word, badrash, demand the welfare of the nation or the city that you are in, because your welfare is tied to your city's welfare.
00:23:52.000It's an act of defiance against the creator and the creation and his people, which are made in his image, that have a soul.
00:23:59.000And then people, and then I'll get from pastors, well, it's not, this one pastor I got in a really heated argument with.
00:24:06.000He's a fool, and I don't say that lightly.
00:24:08.000He says, it's not clear to me after the last couple years which side I should vote for.
00:24:14.000And I say, after the last couple years where they kept strip clubs and marijuana dispensaries and liquor stores open and they said the church was not essential, when they forced a gene-altering mRNA shot on our military and kicked out our best than our brightest, our most loyal and courageous because they didn't want to take a shot that very well might have harmed them through a virus that was not going to harm them.
00:24:35.000You're trying to tell me that it's not clear when we have 5,000 people going across our border every single day, where we had no war in eastern Ukraine and China feared us?
00:24:44.000It's not clear what side is better, where we had no inflation and our currency was stable.
00:24:49.000It's not clear which side is better, where all of a sudden we have drag queen story hour in schools across the country and we have genderqueer curriculum and we have the Biden regime that says that transgender people make up the soul of our nation.
00:25:04.000Two days after a hate crime against Christians was committed in Nashville by a trans activist, you're telling me it's not clear?
00:25:13.000You have no courage, Pastor Man, and you should resign.
00:25:22.000Look, it is time to consider a rollover of that 401k into an IRA.
00:25:28.000The investment world is completely different in 2023, and you cannot do the same thing as last year.
00:25:33.000Woke companies are aggressively implementing ESG.
00:25:38.000Interest rates are going up and inflation is still lingering.
00:25:40.000If you have over $150,000, now is the time to move your money to a biblical responsible investing strategy with my friends at PAX Financial Group.
00:27:09.000Where I said it was the death of the Constitution.
00:27:11.000And the actual answer is that the Constitution has been dead for quite some time.
00:27:17.000It's kind of when you get, for any of you that have had this experience, it's horrifying.
00:27:21.000But if you ever get in a car accident and you don't really realize how damaged or hurt you are until 10 or 15 seconds after, it's kind of called the aftershock effect.
00:27:30.000You have adrenaline, but you actually start to feel what happened to you previously.
00:27:37.000And you get aftershocks for days that follow, or the tremors that follow, right?
00:27:42.000So that analogy, the Constitution's been dead for quite some time.
00:27:45.000And if I had to pinpoint the moment, this is really going to irritate the left, so I definitely need to say it.
00:27:52.000Is the moment where we kind of just shrugged our shoulders and we rolled our eyes was when the Supreme Court of the United States decided to just overthrow states' rights when it came to homosexual marriage.
00:28:20.000And I get a lot of hate for saying that, which I couldn't care less.
00:28:23.000But if you disagree with that, that's actually not the core element of my argument.
00:28:28.000The question is: does the Supreme Court have legislative authority to overturn state-directed, citizen-driven referendums where they wanted to say that marriage was one man, one woman?
00:28:41.000And they basically made a national, they couldn't pass it through Congress.
00:28:45.000So Anthony Kennedy issued the majority opinion and they put through the entire thing and they said that the states' rights don't matter.
00:28:53.000And what I'm getting at is that we've actually ignored the Constitution so often the last couple of years that this should not shock us, that all of a sudden we're just going to throw out the greatest American, the greatest political document in human history.
00:29:08.000I could go through example after example, but I mean, the fact that they were able to lock us down as much as they were through these lockdowns and mask mandates, we were living in a post-constitutional order.
00:29:21.000We're just now realizing and recognizing it.
00:30:15.000We would sanction foreign countries for what we're doing to ourselves.
00:30:25.000We would put people up in front of the UN for saying this is unacceptable, tyrannical, banana republic behavior for what we are doing to ourselves.
00:30:38.000We would send hundreds of billions of dollars to go fight Putin because he's an authoritarian thug because he locks up political dissidents.
00:32:13.000His crime was robbing them of a celebration when Hillary Clinton was supposed to crush the glass ceiling and become the first female president and all that garbage.
00:32:23.000His crime was sneaking into the presidency.
00:32:26.000And they said to themselves, We are going to have revenge against you, man.
00:32:32.000We're going to humiliate you in the town where you wrote the art of the deal and you saved the convention center and you gave us the Plaza Hotel, not Plaza Hotel, but Hotel Commodore, which became the Grand Hyatt, and you bought the Plaza Hotel and the Woman Rink and you gave hundreds of millions of dollars to charity.
00:32:50.000Okay, flashy billionaire man who thinks you can defy the ruling class.
00:32:54.000We're going to humiliate you in a Soviet-style show trial.
00:32:57.000And you might hate Donald Trump tonight.
00:32:59.000Your friends might hate Donald Trump tonight.
00:33:01.000But I question your integrity if you're not angry about this.
00:33:09.000If you do not have, if you do not have anger pulsating through your being, I don't care if you say he's the worst person ever, if he's a narcissist, if he's all these sorts of things.
00:33:22.000The way he is being treated is an insult to our system, to our tradition, to our Constitution, to how we go about business.
00:34:55.000And my question is: how do you tell a transgender person that the gender they claim to be is incorrect?
00:35:03.000You should do so lovingly, but just tell them you're living under a delusion.
00:35:12.000And no, I mean, let me prove it to you, okay?
00:35:15.000If somebody came to you and said, I can fly, and I'm going to the tallest building in Utah, and I'm going to show you that if I jump from this building, I'm going to fly.
00:35:26.000Would it be loving or unloving to tell them, no, you can't?
00:35:31.000If somebody came to you and said, I have an invisible friend, and the invisible friend told me I don't need to eat anymore, would it be loving or unloving to tell them they're living under a delusion?
00:35:39.000Since when do we all of a sudden get really cowardly when somebody starts to believe something that's not true?
00:35:55.000My name is Shannon McInnis, Charlie, a huge follower of yours.
00:35:57.000Not sure if you're aware out here in Utah, but they decided to change our Utah state flag without even asking the people of the people that live here.
00:36:06.000We're trying to do a referendum on the ballot right now to actually give the people a say, regardless of if you want to preserve our history or not.
00:37:39.000Because if I say I'm optimistic, you're going to go home and say, oh, we think I don't have to do anything because Charlie said we're optimistic.
00:37:45.000If I say I'm pessimistic, you're going to go home and say, I don't have to do anything because, you know, Charlie said it's all over.
00:37:56.000But also, I have an opportunity to know that every day I'm giving everything I possibly can for the cause.
00:38:02.000Everything, every ounce of my being, my energy, three hours of radio day, speaking across the country, running an organization, fighting with all these maniacs, right?
00:38:12.000Now, that might not be your calling, right?
00:38:14.000To do, you know, to be as all involved as I am, but then carve out a fraction of time, energy, money, or resources to do something that will last longer than you.
00:38:25.000And if you do that for a long period of time and millions of people do that, eventually we're going to see the fruit.
00:39:10.000Go make a lot of money, build a business, serve the Lord in that business, and give back that money to this church and a Turning Point USA and to charities and politicians and give faithfully with the fruit that God has given you.
00:41:20.000You get rid of driving, you'd have 50,000 less auto fatalities.
00:41:24.000But we have decided that the benefit of driving, speed, accessibility, mobility, having products, services, is worth the cost of 50,000 people dying on the road.
00:41:37.000So we need to be very clear that you're not going to get gun deaths to zero.
00:42:13.000I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.
00:46:13.000I believe, and I don't mean this braggadociously, I think we do a good job as any explaining what Western civilization it is and what you can do to save it and why it matters and why it's exceptional and where does it come from and what you can do to further your world, you know, really further refine your worldview in that regard.
00:46:29.000And then finally, you have to also know, you have to manage your expectations that politically this place might just become a total and complete mess and get worse.
00:47:09.000It is a garbage, trash, George Soros-funded election manipulation idea that is already here on local level in Utah, and they're trying to bring it statewide.
00:47:19.000That's a great issue for you guys to champion.
00:47:21.000It's one you can win on if you educate enough people on it.
00:47:28.000Question is, if there aren't enough jobs to go around and the government's an employ more people, what happens to the millions of people who want or need jobs and can't find one?
00:47:39.000Okay, what happens when millions of people need or want jobs and can't find one?
00:47:43.000Yeah, so we do not have that problem right now, but it could happen with automation, but it's still speculative.
00:47:48.000We actually have the opposite problem.
00:47:50.000We have a society that doesn't want to work.
00:47:53.000We have a job opening crisis because, you know, kind of being a bum is in vogue, I guess, and just sitting around and not working.
00:48:00.000So, yeah, I mean, entrepreneurs will fix that problem.
00:48:04.000We're not going to have that problem anytime soon.
00:48:06.000We have a problem of people that cannot find competent labor and skilled labor.
00:48:10.000So, in automation in the future, that very well might happen with robots and artificial intelligence and the rise of chat GPT, but I still think we're a ways from that.
00:48:21.000My name's Sierra, and I'm in the field of mental health.
00:48:24.000And there's no question that we have a really horrible problem with it right now across society.
00:48:28.000My question to you is: with being a conservative in the therapy and the psychology in psychology, it's very liberal, and we're fighting the boards more than we're fighting trying to get clients in.
00:48:42.000What would you suggest to someone in that area?
00:49:47.000And by the way, they're a walking contradiction in cognitive behavioral therapy, which is robust and it works.
00:49:54.000You have to challenge the patient to eventually face the thing that they fear the most.
00:49:59.000And through courageous action, albeit through a lot of work, you're able to then conquer that.
00:50:06.000Just like, for example, the fear of flying, right?
00:50:08.000If somebody has a fear of flying, which is a big issue in America, and praise God, I don't have that problem because I've flown millions of miles, right?
00:50:16.000The clinical data and literature is not that you try to ban planes.
00:50:26.000You try to get the person to come in contact with that untrue, intrusive thought that they might be having a false relationship with, and eventually taking that very adventurous and courageous step to step on an airplane.
00:50:43.000The clinical data shows that has worked for decades.
00:50:48.000And yet we throw out all that literature and that proven psychological, not just tradition, but just method for gender affirming.
00:50:58.000And we say, not only do I have to affirm your delusion, not only, but now I'm going to empower you to make other people that disagree with your delusion to shut them up and to then tell them they're awful.
00:51:39.000There is a remnant of dissident, clear-thinking psychologists that think this is insane.
00:51:44.000Jordan Peterson is one of them, by the way, and I encourage you guys to look into what he's doing.
00:51:49.000And so I do not have a degree in psychology, which makes me obviously able to talk about this because most people's degrees, no offense, are completely, I think, insane.
00:52:02.000This doesn't take a lot of, you know, deep thinking, but I want to commend you.
00:52:07.000I think there's going to be a dissident kind of network of loving, caring counselors and therapists that want to care for people, but do it in a way that will actually help them.
00:52:22.000I'm a big believer in Dr. Daniel Amon's literature, where he says that it's also a brain health issue, where he's like, the health of your brain is really important.
00:52:32.000I like it because he's unafraid to talk about how alcohol damages the human brain, how marijuana damages the human brain, how screen time damages the human brain, talking about dopaminergic receptors.
00:52:43.000I think that we put a lot of that aside to affirm people's addictions when we should try to heal them from their addictions and actually talk about how that negatively impacts their mental health.
00:52:53.000And then finally, I think that we have a crisis of meaning, and we're wondering why we have the most depressed, suicidal, anxious generation, and alcohol and drug-addicted generation in history.
00:53:05.000It's because we've decided to say that God is dead.
00:53:09.000And in its place is a crisis of self-harm like we've never seen before.
00:53:58.000Back check me, look at NAD and see what it could do for you.
00:54:00.000Well, look, I take NAD every single day.
00:54:02.000Strong Cell is a scientific breakthrough in cellular health replenishment that combines NADH, CoQ10, and marine collagen to boost your body's cellular function.
00:54:11.000I personally take Strong Cell every day, and so do a ton of Kirk listeners.
00:54:53.000My question is that you say the Constitution is dead based on the Bergfeld decision, but I'm a big fan of the Constitution.
00:54:59.000And I have to disagree with you given the historical precedent such as Plessy versus Ferguson being overturned by Brownie Board and recently v. Wade being overturned by the Dobbs versus Jackson decision.
00:55:11.000Given this, how can you say that the Constitution is completely dead?
00:55:16.000I mean, yeah, I'm not saying it's completely dead, but it's certainly dead in the original intent or the framework that the founders wanted.
00:55:22.000I mean, but you look, constitutionally, right, as an equal protection promise and guarantee, how on earth are we able to have January 6th defendants in pre-trial detention for two years?
00:55:35.000How is that a quick and speedy trial as guaranteed by the Constitution?
00:55:40.000Any lawyer can tell me how that affirms the Constitution in two years of pre-trial detention.
00:56:06.000And I'm sure you're great people, but watch yourself.
00:56:12.000It says warrantless search and seizure.
00:56:14.000We do it every single day with the Patriot Act.
00:56:17.000We spied on moms and dads that showed up at school board meetings and called them domestic terrorists.
00:56:24.000And so my provocative take is that elements of the Constitution have been dead for quite some time.
00:56:31.000Yes, to your point, I think it's a good one that there are some pockets of, you know, a remnant here and a remnant there, but we are living in a post-constitutional America.
00:56:40.000And I do not take joy or delight in saying that.
00:57:01.000I'm constantly passing information to people on health and wellness, on how to help yourself, on how to get yourself in order, wake you up.
00:57:09.000But my question is, you know, being a Christian, right?
00:57:11.000I mean, I love God, but this whole thing has made me swear a lot.
00:57:55.000And psychiatrists should use benzodiazepine, Zoloft, Xanax, and SSRIs as a last resort, instead of an initial resort.
00:58:04.000I firmly believe, and I think the literature supports it, that the damage done to young developing minds when you give them pharmacological compounds is overwhelming and it's significant.
00:58:15.000And it's a tragedy how many kids are on antidepressants and they do not need to be on antidepressants.
00:58:33.000That could have solved a lot of COVID problems.
00:58:35.000It could solve a lot of hormone problems.
00:58:37.000It could solve, it's just that it's too simple and no one gets rich off of vitamin D, right?
00:58:41.000Again, it doesn't solve every problem, but when was the last time you heard the CDC run PSAs about getting people's vitamin D levels up?
00:58:48.000Anyway, so to your point, look, I want to be very clear, and I can hear your passion on all this.
00:58:53.000You know, Lekwalessa was meeting with a group of Soviet dissidents, and there was a guy who thought he was going to win praise of Lekwalesa.
00:59:02.000And Lekwalessa was, of course, the head of the Poland and helped bring down the Soviet Union.
00:59:06.000And this was a guy that was a dissident, and he was intentionally defied the Soviet Union, and he saw the rule, and he defied the rule, and he went in prison, and then he was eventually released, and he went to Lekwalesa and told the story.
00:59:18.000And like Willessa said, Yeah, I don't think you did the right thing.
00:59:24.000He said, What we need is people that fight prudently and incrementally so that they can last.
00:59:29.000He said, You were of no use once you were in prison.
00:59:32.000So, what I'm getting at is that you must ask the Lord for wisdom and he'll give it to you generously, but you should not be reckless, right?
00:59:41.000And you should not act in a way where you know the response is going to be they take you out immediately, right?
00:59:49.000So, whether it be getting banned on social media or whatever, instead, it's how am I going to stay in the fight for multiple decades to expose tyranny and build things and build infrastructure and push back against this?
01:00:00.000We have enough martyrs, we do not need martyrs for martyrs' sake, so do not seek martyrdom.
01:00:05.000If it finds you, that's a separate issue, right?
01:00:41.000My name is Skye, and I was wondering what advice would you give me for children, for people my age to deal with all the negativity about when telling the truth to people.
01:01:50.000You have to look at it as no different as I'm going to get tougher and my muscles are going to get stronger.
01:01:57.000The earlier in life you adopt the attitude not for God to remove difficult circumstances, but instead to make you stronger for difficult circumstances, the happier and better life you will live.
01:02:11.000One of the big problems to go with the mental health issue is we have convinced young people that we can rearrange society so that suffering will never touch you.
01:02:21.000Instead, we should say, Let's make you tougher so when suffering does come in your life, you can endure it and still be happy and joyful.
01:04:53.000The fear that you're not going to be able to make a wage because you speak your mind is largely unfounded.
01:04:59.000There is a parallel economy of entrepreneurs that are rising up in record numbers that will not just be okay, they'll be enthusiastic to hire you if you speak your mind.
01:06:18.000If you guys would take out your phone and just follow this QR code and you press the plus sign in the upper right-hand corner, if you do not know what a QR code is, let me enlighten you.
01:07:08.000It might be James O'Keefe's new media company.
01:07:10.000It might be what Tim Poole is doing, which I'm a big fan of.
01:07:13.000Whatever it is, find independent content creators that are out there, that speak their mind, that are really willing to push the boundaries, that are obviously not controlled by the corporate unit party, and then say, I'm going to give them my attention.
01:07:25.000You might not agree with them on everything, and have some grace because it might not be as well-produced as the big flashy products, but then use your news consumption choices in alignment with the people that are really standing courageously, right?
01:07:37.000That's my recommendation, whether it be Matt Walsh or the Daily Wire or whatever it is, right?
01:07:42.000That goes out that new media because, yes, the mainstream media is lying to you, but we're living through.
01:07:49.000The new media landscape, everybody, is the healthiest it has been in my 11 years of doing this.
01:07:55.000I look to my left and I look to my right, and I see fighters that are wise and learned and filled with the spirit.
01:08:03.000I see Matt Walsh, I see Michael Knowles, I see Candace Owens, I see Steve Bannon, I see Jack Pesobic, I see James O'Keefe, and these people are young and they're they work hard and they're industrious and they got a spine.
01:08:16.000I was going to use another piece of anatomy, but they have a spine.
01:08:19.000And 10 years ago, it was hard to find courageous media.
01:08:24.000It was the same mockingbird nonsense on TV over, and it might have been on talk radio with Rush or Levin.
01:09:22.000If there's a repairman who causes an electrical issue to your oven and keeps catching fire because some electrical issue, and you get really good at extinguishing the fire, you wouldn't say you've solved the core issue by putting out fires.
01:09:36.000So how do we help the conservative movement understand that simply being reactive to issues is not solving our core problem?
01:09:44.000We've got to learn timeless principles.
01:10:39.000We play offense by going deep because there is an unbelievably beautiful canon in the Western tradition to tell us what we are fighting for.
01:11:20.000Is that if you want to all of a sudden find as if, like, Charlie, I don't know what to do, spend time learning because you're not the first person to ask the question.
01:11:29.000The more you understand the thing you're trying to protect, the more willing you are to act on it.
01:13:36.000But just as important to the George Washingtons are the John Hancocks.
01:13:40.000You know, John Hancock was the number one financier of the American Revolution, signed the biggest signature of the Declaration of Independence, but never picked up a weapon, never fired around.
01:14:04.000I might not be the person to run for the school board or be a person knock on doors, but Charlie, I'm going to be there for you and for Turning Point USA, praying for you, fasting for you, maybe giving $10 a month.
01:14:14.000I'm going to be there for you, James O'Keefe, to help you out.
01:14:58.000He walked into the war cabinet, the thing of whiskey and a cigar, and he proclaimed to his war cabinet, he said, gents, we have won the war.
01:15:06.000They thought he was delirious, delusional even.
01:15:08.000I said, what do you mean we have won the war?
