00:00:31.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:00:32.000 Here we go.

00:00:33.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:35.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:37.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:40.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:43.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:44.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:46.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:00:54.000 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.

00:01:03.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:05.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.

00:01:15.000 I share the frustration towards D.C.

00:01:17.000 This man should be the leader of the Republicans in the Senate.

00:01:21.000 I sure hope that happens sometime soon.

00:01:22.000 I'm going to do everything I possibly can to make it so.

00:01:25.000 Senator Rick Scott, who is a businessman entrepreneur, and was an excellent governor of Florida, and I think we need to remind people of that and is doing a great job as a senator.

00:01:34.000 Senator Rick Scott, welcome back to the program.

00:01:36.000 Charlie, it's always great to be with you.

00:01:38.000 Stop and think about this.

00:01:39.000 I've spent the last two weeks traveling my state.

00:01:42.000 What do people bring up?

00:01:43.000 Inflation, inflation.

00:01:45.000 They're worried about retirement benefits, worried about medical bills.

00:01:48.000 It's all about cost, right?

00:01:50.000 It's all about government is causing costs to be too high.

00:01:54.000 So what's happening?

00:01:56.000 Oh, we have a debt ceiling bill that's going to raise the debt by at least $4 trillion, which is going to cause more inflation.

00:02:03.000 It does nothing to do with inflation.

00:02:06.000 It has nothing to stop inflation, does nothing to help people get comfortable that retirement benefits are going to be there or that we're going to get medical bills down.

00:02:13.000 So this makes no sense.

00:02:15.000 We have forgotten who we represent up here.

00:02:18.000 So, Senator, the Senate has, in my opinion, been kind of MIA in this whole thing.

00:02:25.000 It's been framed as McCarthy v. Biden, McCarthy v. Biden.

00:02:30.000 When there's an upper chamber here and it takes 60 votes to pass, have you personally been a little frustrated about the absence of Senate, let's just say, voice?

00:02:42.000 Was that an intentional thing by Leader McConnell?

00:02:45.000 Absolutely.

00:02:46.000 He said, we're not going to, he said, you know, Republican senators are not going to be involved.

00:02:51.000 I was.

00:02:52.000 Mike Lee was.

00:02:53.000 Ron Johnson was.

00:02:54.000 Rand Paul was.

00:02:55.000 Ted Cruz was.

00:02:56.000 Mike Braun were.

00:02:57.000 But so many people just sat on the sidelines and said, well, whatever they do will be fine with us.

00:03:04.000 Well, it's not fine.

00:03:06.000 It's not helping Americans get their life back in order.

00:03:10.000 So I think we have to be vocal about, one, we should support the House when they're doing something logical.

00:03:16.000 We should do everything we can to make things better when we can.

00:03:20.000 But we have a voice and it takes 60 of our votes.

00:03:23.000 It'll take nine Republicans to pass this.

00:03:26.000 So just playing this out and gaming this out, do you anticipate Republicans and Democrats coming together to get 60 votes?

00:03:34.000 I mean, if 41 Republicans were in agreement, this could potentially have some issues.

00:03:41.000 Well, you would hope, but let's remember, two years ago, Mitch McCollum came to Republican lunch and said, hey, it takes 10 of us to help the Democrats vote for a debt ceiling increase.

00:03:55.000 So here's what we're going to do.

00:03:58.000 11 of us are going to vote to let them do it on their own.

00:04:00.000 So think about it.

00:04:02.000 We unfortunately have people in the Senate that are not willing to fight to deal with the issues of the country.

00:04:08.000 I mean, we have a spending problem.

00:04:11.000 We do not have a revenue problem.

00:04:14.000 We have record revenue.

00:04:15.000 We have a spending problem.

00:04:16.000 And we've got to get our spending under control.

00:04:19.000 And do what you do.

00:04:20.000 Charlie, you say, you know, this is my income.

00:04:24.000 And so this is how I'm going to spend my money.

00:04:26.000 There's going to be, there's always, there's always a nice to have that you don't do.

00:04:30.000 Your government's got to do the same thing.

00:04:32.000 And by the way, let's get people back to work.

00:04:34.000 Let's do some basic things here.

00:04:37.000 Make it easier for companies to grow.

00:04:39.000 When I was governor of Florida, I walked in with a budget deficit, right?

00:04:43.000 We had a big budget deficit, $4 billion.

00:04:45.000 I said, we're going to get people back to work and grow the economy.

00:04:49.000 And guess what?

00:04:50.000 I was able to basically grow the economy every year and almost no increase in per capita cost of government.

00:04:58.000 Why do we do that here?

00:05:00.000 Charlie, since 2019, we've had a 1.8% increase in our population in the country.

00:05:07.000 The Biden budget, which is what we're negotiating on, is up 55% in five years.

00:05:15.000 55%.

00:05:17.000 I mean, this is what we fought against.

00:05:19.000 We fought against the government running our entire lives.

00:05:22.000 We won when we beat the Soviet Union, who did this. 0.76

00:05:26.000 And we're doing the same stuff. 0.93

00:05:29.000 We're letting our government control every bit of our lives.

00:05:32.000 We're giving away our freedoms all the time.

00:05:34.000 They're telling us, oh, you have to have this permit and that permit and this.

00:05:37.000 You have to comply with this regulation.

00:05:39.000 We've got to stop making it easier for people.

00:05:41.000 And by the way, if you're able-bodied, get your button to work.

00:05:45.000 God, get it if you got young kids.

00:05:47.000 But otherwise, get to work.

00:05:49.000 You don't get to go get all these government freebies that are supposed to be for the people that are struggling.

00:05:55.000 Let's talk about that.

00:05:55.000 So one of the contentions right now, and again, we've had people all across the board, and I have to tell you, Senator, it's unclear, is work requirements.

00:06:04.000 Are we getting work requirements in this bill?

00:06:07.000 Or are we not getting work requirements in this bill?

00:06:09.000 And Senator, why is it that we have to write these things in a way where I can't get a solid answer?

00:06:14.000 I've been asking, I get totally different answers.

00:06:17.000 I mean, yes, no, completely opposite.

00:06:19.000 It seems like sometimes it's intentional.

00:06:21.000 But so here's what we did.

00:06:23.000 What we should be doing is if you're able-bodied, okay, and I have a bill.

00:06:29.000 It's called Let's Get to Work, which is my slogan back in 10 and 14, actually when I ran for the Senate too, is if you're able-bodied, you know, you can pick a logical age, but let's say 60.

00:06:39.000 All right, you don't go on food stamps if you're not willing to go get a job and you can't, you shouldn't do public housing.

00:06:45.000 I lived in public housing.

00:06:46.000 I don't think it's right that people get subsidized housing if they just want to sit home and play video games or something.

00:06:52.000 Get your button geared.

00:06:53.000 I get it if you have young kids.

00:06:55.000 So here's what we did.

00:06:56.000 In this bill, it's going to increase it, but not to 60, increase it to 54. 0.97

00:06:59.000 But then there's other groups, right?

00:07:02.000 And these are good groups, veterans, as an example.

00:07:05.000 I think we ought to do everything that we can to help veterans.

00:07:07.000 But you don't get to just be a veteran and then, if you don't want to apply for a job, you get food stamps.

00:07:15.000 I mean, that doesn't make sense.

00:07:16.000 That's not fair to the rest of us.

00:07:18.000 If you're homeless, you don't have to do it.

00:07:20.000 You know, you can apply for a job, you know, and there's a lot of jobs out there.

00:07:25.000 So, yeah, even the CBO said what they ultimately are going to do is going to cost us more money, not less.

00:07:32.000 You think that if we put in real work requirements, our costs will go down.

00:07:37.000 But no CBO even said, oh, this is going to, what they propose is going to cost more money.

00:07:42.000 Now, look, I'd agree that this is probably very difficult for Kevin McCarthy to negotiate because Biden doesn't care.

00:07:48.000 The Democrats don't care.

00:07:50.000 I get how hard that is.

00:07:51.000 But we have got to stop and say to ourselves, what's good for the American public?

00:07:57.000 Getting people back to work is good for the American public.

00:07:59.000 My mom, my mom told me, and we grew up, we lived in public housing.

00:08:02.000 My mom had no money. 0.99

00:08:03.000 I had a single mom.

00:08:04.000 She said, you're not going on government programs.

00:08:06.000 You're going to go get a job.

00:08:08.000 Senator, this is such rational stuff.

00:08:10.000 And so let me just read this here.

00:08:13.000 And the speaker's office released this.

00:08:16.000 They said that this reclaims $50 billion in unobligated, unspent COVID funding.

00:08:21.000 It has the full Reigns Act to ensure Congress approve every major regulation, stronger work requirement for SnapTanf and Medicaid.

00:08:29.000 And then they say it's $1.5 trillion in cuts.

00:08:32.000 Senator, is it cuts or is it slowdowns in the rates of the expected growth of government?

00:08:39.000 So I think most Americans would say if you cut something, you actually reduced, you know, if you spent $10, a cut would be if you got it for $8, right?

00:08:49.000 So up here, what they want to say is, well, we anticipated spending a lot more.

00:08:53.000 So if we don't quite spend as much more, we got a cut there.

00:08:56.000 So I don't think that's how the American public think, but that's how they talk about it up here.

00:09:01.000 The Biden budget is going to take us to, I think, almost $50 trillion worth of debt.

00:09:06.000 There's a day of reckoning here.

00:09:08.000 Interest rates are already ridiculously high because of government spending.

00:09:12.000 So yeah, the cuts are reduced anticipated future spending.

00:09:16.000 We're not actually, if we're cutting, actually, we wouldn't have to raise the debt ceiling, right?

00:09:20.000 If we actually reduce the expenditures, we would have to have a bill here.

00:09:26.000 We wouldn't have to raise the debt ceiling.

00:09:27.000 So we know that's not true.

00:09:30.000 It's a reduction in what they anticipate increased spending would be.

00:09:34.000 So, and we don't have the Reigns Act is not in the bill, right?

00:09:39.000 The Reigns Act would actually help our companies reduce the regulatory environment and grow jobs in the country.

00:09:47.000 It's not going to do that.

00:09:49.000 So, I mean, it's, look, I'm appreciative that people tried hard.

00:09:55.000 But if you look at what this does, it does nothing to help people in my state.

00:09:59.000 It does nothing to reduce inflation.

00:10:01.000 That's the biggest issue we've got.

00:10:02.000 It does nothing to help people get comfortable.

00:10:05.000 They have retirement benefits that are going to be there or their medical bills are going to go down.

00:10:09.000 We need to pass a bill that focuses on the things that the American public cares about.

00:10:13.000 And if we do, guess what?

00:10:14.000 We'll win elections.

00:10:16.000 But it's actually not just about winning elections.

00:10:18.000 It's about doing the right thing.

00:10:22.000 Hey, everybody, summer is here.

00:12:03.000 So, Senator, what can change then?

00:12:06.000 Because we want solutions.

00:12:08.000 This is going to pass, but people want answers.

00:12:12.000 What structurally needs to change?

00:12:14.000 I mean, I know you did your best to try to change Senate leadership.

00:12:18.000 Would it have meant something if Senator McConnell said, no, no, no, no, I want a seat at the table?

00:12:23.000 Because would that have meant something?

00:12:24.000 Instead, it was just kind of this, ah, whatever.

00:12:28.000 I want time off or something.

00:12:29.000 Yeah, Charlie, it takes nine Republicans to pass something in the Senate.

00:12:34.000 So those nine Republican votes, we should make this better.

00:12:39.000 And that's what we should do.

00:12:41.000 So we have got to start saying we are part of the solution and we're going to demand action that improves the lot for Americans.

00:12:51.000 I mean, why are we here?

00:12:53.000 I say to myself, what's my purpose every day?

00:12:57.000 Why am I here?

00:12:58.000 I am here because I've told Floridians that I would work my butt off every day to make their lives better.

00:13:04.000 Now, it wasn't to give them free money.

00:13:07.000 People won't send me to go give them free money.

00:13:09.000 What they do is they want good government.

00:13:11.000 They want somebody that's going to follow the Constitution.

00:13:12.000 They want somebody that's going to say, I'm going to do my best to create an economy where every Floridian can flourish and do well, that their kids can get a great education, live in a safe community, make sure we have a strong military.

00:13:24.000 That's what they sent me to do, not to give away their money to somebody.

00:13:28.000 So what can you do?

00:13:30.000 You need to be very vocal of what your expectations are.

00:13:33.000 People are going to come for your votes.

00:13:35.000 They're going to come for your donations.

00:13:37.000 They're going to come to ask you to volunteer for their campaign.

00:13:40.000 Be demanding.

00:13:42.000 Demand what you want out of your government, and you're going to get it.

00:13:46.000 If all Americans demand better government, accountable government, responsible government, that's what you're going to get.

00:13:52.000 If we're bystanders and we say, oh, there's not much we can do here.

00:13:56.000 This is too hard.

00:13:58.000 You know, just think something bad could happen.

00:14:00.000 I could be accused of things.

00:14:02.000 It might not work perfectly.

00:14:03.000 Guess what?

00:14:04.000 Then the wrong people control our destiny.

00:14:08.000 I want the people that care about every Floridian and every American to control our destiny.

00:14:13.000 And that's what you should make sure you elect.

00:14:15.000 Senator, I want to get your thoughts on this.

00:14:17.000 I know it's some breaking news, and the NRSC has released a press release on it.

00:14:21.000 I'm sure you saw it.

00:14:22.000 Jim Justice, who is the governor of West Virginia and wants to become the senator, a poll comes out that shows he's up 25 points on Joe Manchin in a perspective one-on-one.

00:14:33.000 Today, the Department of Justice, run by Joe Biden, announces civil action into his coal companies.

00:14:41.000 Senator, this is getting wildly out of control.

00:14:44.000 And I mean, one of the complaints that I have to have about this debt ceiling thing personally is why didn't we use it as leverage to defund the police state that we're living in?

00:14:55.000 So, Senator, now this is the Department of Justice actively involving themselves in a Senate election in West Virginia.

00:15:02.000 Well, let's think about what do these totalitarian governments do?

00:15:07.000 Well, they use the departments of their government to attack opponents.

00:15:12.000 So, what do we have?

00:15:13.000 We have IRS doing it. 0.83

00:15:14.000 We have DOJ doing it.

00:15:16.000 We have FBI doing it.

00:15:18.000 And so we have got to stop and say to ourselves, this is really bad.

00:15:23.000 We cannot have a government that attacks their opponents.

00:15:27.000 I mean, that's not how we thought this country was going to be created and run.

00:15:31.000 So we have to be vocal that this has to stop.

00:15:34.000 And by the way, in this deal, Joe Manchin gets a win, right?

00:15:39.000 And it might actually be something that is good policy.

00:15:43.000 But what we're doing is we reward Joe Manchin for doing bad things last year by supporting a bill and then doing The big spending bill that they did.

00:15:55.000 And so now he gets his pipeline, which might be good policy that we have that pipeline.

00:16:00.000 But why don't we, why didn't we do the Keystone pipeline?

00:16:02.000 Why didn't we do others?

00:16:03.000 Because it was just the Biden administration helping Joe Manchin.

00:16:07.000 And then you look at this, and it sure looks like your federal government is attacking Republican opponents.

00:16:14.000 When the FBI will not explain why they raided Mar-a-Lago, all right, they can't explain that, and they, and they have to.

00:16:21.000 The FBI DOJ worked for us.

00:16:24.000 Every time I talked to them, I said, you guys don't understand.

00:16:27.000 Americans are losing trust in you because you're not open and direct about the people.

00:16:31.000 Why do you more than distrust the cynicism, Senator?

00:16:34.000 And I know you're on the right side of this, but if Leader McConnell is watching all this, they're going to come for you next.

00:16:39.000 They will not stop.

00:16:41.000 And this is them.

00:16:42.000 This is a warning shot that, okay, you know, yeah, okay, Trump, we don't say anything, or Steve Bannon, we don't say anything, or Dinesh D'Souza, or James O'Keefe.

00:16:50.000 You know, those are the fringe MAGA people.

00:16:52.000 Oh, really?

00:16:53.000 Now, one of the chosen, which I support, by the way, Jim Justice, I think, will win by big points.

00:16:57.000 Whatever.

00:16:57.000 He's not with me on every issue, but whatever.

00:17:00.000 I want to win.

00:17:01.000 Now it comes for an NRIC chosen candidate.

00:17:05.000 You know this, Senator.

00:17:06.000 We got to fight now.

00:17:07.000 This FBI is a super PAC of the Democrat Party with subpoena and arrest power. 0.66

00:17:13.000 It is Soviet, pure, and simple.

00:17:14.000 Senator Scott, thank you for your courage.

00:17:16.000 I appreciate it.

00:17:16.000 Joey, thanks for what you do each and every day.

00:17:18.000 Thank you.

00:17:22.000 As students across the country graduate from colleges and universities, I'd like to highlight a place where our young people receive the best classical liberal arts education in America.

00:17:32.000 When these students graduate, they have studied the great books, The History of Western Civilization in America, and the meaning in the history of the Constitution.

00:17:39.000 Can you guess which college I'm talking about?

00:17:41.000 That's right.

00:17:42.000 It's my favorite college, Hillsdale College.

00:17:44.000 Hillsdale was founded in 1844 to offer the kind of education needed to preserve civil and religious liberty.

00:17:50.000 And it holds true to that mission today while refusing to accept one penny of taxpayer funding, not even indirectly in the form of student grants and loans.

00:17:59.000 Hillsdale students also abide by an honor code, which ensures a unity of purpose and fosters lively, civil, and intelligent debate.

00:18:07.000 And the best part, you can learn from Hillsdale free.

00:18:10.000 That's right, for free through Imprimis by taking online courses on the American history, Constitution, and other subjects.

00:18:17.000 See for yourself.

00:18:24.000 It's an issue that I have not commented on in quite some time.

00:18:28.000 I've had strong opinions on it, but it's one of those issues that's kind of out on the fringes and you talk about in more philosophical discussions, and you don't always get into the weeds of just how evil it is, but it seems to be accelerating. 1.00

00:18:40.000 Similar to the trans thing and the LGBT thing, this is now something that you just can't escape. 0.97

00:18:46.000 And it's not some sort of thing that is just an abstraction.

00:18:50.000 It is real.

00:18:52.000 So some of you may or may not know about a doctor that I put doctor in a doctor in quotes, Dr. Kvorkian.

00:19:04.000 Dr. Kvorkian was known as Dr. Death. 0.53

00:19:08.000 Anytime there's a last name that ends in IAN, you can almost guarantee they're Armenian. 0.98

00:19:12.000 I love Armenians.

00:19:13.000 And it says in his bio, he's an Armenian-American pathologist. 0.93

00:19:16.000 I think it's an insult to all Armenians because I think he was an evil man.

00:19:19.000 Dr. Kvorkian was the pioneer of modern physician-assisted suicide or medical assisted suicide, saying that people have a right to die.

00:19:33.000 Kvorkian said that he assisted at least 130 patients to that end.

00:19:38.000 He was convicted of murder for good reason in 1999 and was portrayed in the media with the name Dr. Death.

00:19:46.000 In 1998, Kvorkian was arrested and tried for his role in voluntary euthanasia of a man named Thomas Yook, who had Lou Gehrig's disease, or ALS.

00:19:55.000 He was eventually convicted of second-degree murder and served eight years of a 10 to 25-year prison sentence.

00:20:01.000 It was kind of the test case of can you use the guise of medicine to do something immoral and wrong.

00:20:09.000 One of the great challenges that I have in my advocacy and my discourse is trying to deprogram people's fascination and, quite honestly, idolatry of doctors for doctors' sake.

00:20:24.000 There are some amazing doctors that have helped me tremendously.

00:20:27.000 There's also some crummy doctors. 0.98

00:20:30.000 Not every doctor knows what they're doing.

00:20:34.000 Not every doctor is an expert.

00:20:36.000 At the same time, there are life-saving doctors that have operated on me and I'm sure have operated on you.

00:20:42.000 So I don't want to paint with too broad of a brush.

00:20:44.000 But just because you are a doctor, just because it's done in a medical setting, does not automatically give you the medical equivalent of papal infallibility.

00:20:56.000 Same as people that say, well, you know, you have to trust the medicine when it comes to the medical experts, when it comes to trans surgeries.

00:21:07.000 Trust the science. 0.89

00:21:08.000 We saw that with early treatments and masks and locking down schools.

00:21:12.000 They're using the same coded language.

00:21:16.000 They are piggybacking on the unearned but given trust that scientists and medical experts have to now legalize and popularize one of the more disgusting things that I think a society can embrace, which is to intentionally murder our old people.

00:21:36.000 That is not an exaggeration.

00:21:38.000 Suicide is evil.

00:21:40.000 Now, I'm not trying to bash people that struggle with that sort of ideation.

00:21:46.000 I'm not even trying to make you feel bad if you have a son or a daughter that committed suicide.

00:21:51.000 I feel really sorry for you.

00:21:52.000 Beyond some of my closest friends growing up committed suicide.

00:21:55.000 Someone I literally played football with and I consider one of my closest friends killed himself.

00:21:59.000 But there really is no way around it morally.

00:22:02.000 Suicide is murder.

00:22:04.000 And outsourcing that suicide in a medical context is also evil.

00:22:10.000 So medical assisted suicide, other cause euthanasia, is now legal in seven states in America.

00:22:17.000 But it really is catching fire in a super creepy way in Canada.

00:22:21.000 I don't think there's any audio to this video.

00:22:23.000 So I'm going to do the best I can to narrate it.

00:22:25.000 But this is a TikTok video that makes you cry, honestly.

00:22:32.000 It pokes at your humanity.

00:22:36.000 If you have a soul, you cannot watch this video and say, yeah, this is perfectly fine.

00:22:41.000 This is why I truly believe that you can't always measure everything between charts and graphs and peer-reviewed studies.

00:22:52.000 That is not the only form of knowing.

00:22:55.000 That sort of empirical data is important.

00:22:57.000 If you ask a college kid, well, prove to me that this is wrong or right.

00:23:01.000 They try to go to some study.

00:23:02.000 No, no, no, no.

00:23:04.000 Sometimes you can know things through your natural reason, the logos that the Lord has given you.

00:23:09.000 So there is sound to this video.

00:23:11.000 Thank you.

00:23:12.000 What you'll see here is a young lady and her grandmother in a TikTok video.

00:23:20.000 Basically, she says, This is the last time I'm able to take my grandmother out to a restaurant because my grandmother wants to do euthanasia, medically assisted suicide.

00:23:31.000 And then she sort of quasi-celebrates it.

00:23:34.000 What is going on in the West?

00:23:36.000 I'll explain in a second.

00:23:37.000 PlayCut 36.

00:23:39.000 What are your thoughts as you move closer to the day?

00:23:42.000 It's like the light at the end of the tunnel.

00:23:45.000 What is the actual day like?

00:23:47.000 I know, like they said, an appointment, digital injection, putting you to sleep.

00:23:51.000 And the big pain is a trip in the hand to provide for the little vowels.

00:23:56.000 And then once you're in a deep sleep, there are other two other injections you get.

00:24:01.000 At that point, you don't know.

00:24:02.000 So it's painless.

00:24:03.000 Are you nervous?

00:24:04.000 Are you excited?

00:24:06.000 How do you feel?

00:24:07.000 Looking forward to it.

00:24:08.000 Just putting an end to being dependent.

00:24:10.000 I've always made my own decisions for myself.

00:24:13.000 In living, I trust I will end death.

00:24:16.000 I do believe my husband is there saying it's about time.

00:24:20.000 And I'll say, hi, Arn.

00:24:21.000 I'm here.

00:24:22.000 That's it.

00:24:23.000 This is what you get in secular society.

00:24:26.000 When you believe life is an accident, yeah, why not end it?

00:24:29.000 I don't want to be dependent.

00:24:30.000 If you believe life is a series of obligations to the divine, then you want to maximize every breath that you have been given.

00:24:38.000 If you believe that the divine have invested in you to do something, then you would not seek out an end to that with your will.

00:24:45.000 You would do the opposite.

00:24:46.000 You would try to spend as much time that you have with what you control to help other people.

00:24:53.000 What she is saying to her grandmother, Allie Tate Cutler, who's a plus-size Victoria Secret model and self-love coach, ah, that's what leads to this.

00:25:04.000 I'll talk about that in a second.

00:25:06.000 She's doing something incredibly immoral. 0.96

00:25:08.000 She's saying to her granddaughter, I've given you all that you need.

00:25:11.000 There's nothing more you can learn from me.

00:25:13.000 There's nothing else I can give to you.

00:25:15.000 No more duty or obligation stories I could share, a shoulder to cry on.

00:25:20.000 I just, I'm done.

00:25:21.000 If life is about self-pleasure and self-love, you can logically come to that conclusion.

00:25:27.000 If life is more about duty and obligation, then you would find that repulsive.

00:25:31.000 You'd say, it doesn't matter if I'm in pain.

00:25:33.000 I have more to do.

00:25:35.000 I have more to give.

00:25:37.000 I have more to serve.

00:25:40.000 Do you see the service mentality versus the pleasure mentality?

00:25:44.000 You see, the Ten Commandments, the only one of the Ten Commandments that laid out, I had a promise and also involved your nation is honor your mother and father so that you may live long in the land of which you are in.

00:25:58.000 Honor comes from a Hebrew word to treat heavily or to take heavily.

00:26:03.000 To go lightly also means to curse.

00:26:06.000 That's not treating your elders heavily or to take them seriously.

00:26:11.000 It is institutional disregard for your elders.

00:26:15.000 This is not liberty.

00:26:17.000 This is eventually going to institutionalize and glorify the further continuation of a culture of death.

00:26:25.000 One out of three of suicides in Canada are medically assisted according to rebel news.

00:26:31.000 Now, some people might say, well, in this clip, the grandmother seems fine, that she just kind of wants to release herself into death.

00:26:38.000 And I say to this, you should not have laws, a culture, or public propaganda that plays into the selfish need, wants, or desires of that elderly woman. 0.98

00:26:48.000 She's basically saying, I've given all I possibly can.

00:26:51.000 Really?

00:26:52.000 You have?

00:26:53.000 There's nothing else that you can contribute to society?

00:26:56.000 That your duty is totally fold?

00:26:58.000 No, no.

00:26:58.000 She wants to do the one thing that we as Christians believe only the divine gets to do.

00:27:04.000 She wants to referee life and death, which is the exact same animating force of the trans and the abortion situation. 0.97

00:27:16.000 Instead of saying, I want to model how to finish the race with grace, I want to keep giving my life to my grandkids. 0.99

00:27:22.000 I'm going to show that you are going to keep on contributing.

00:27:26.000 Another problem with this, if I have not persuaded you with you, which I think is totally something that is a fact, is it makes it easier for young kids to think it's no big deal to kill yourself.

00:27:38.000 Life is just something to kind of be discarded.

00:27:40.000 You don't like it.

00:27:41.000 You're in pain.

00:27:42.000 You want to be a dependent?

00:27:43.000 You just kind of push a button.

00:27:44.000 You're done with it.

00:27:46.000 As if life is just some sort of happy accident of Darwinian evolution.

00:27:50.000 You look up to your elders and now a TikTok video.

00:27:53.000 I guarantee you that a young person either killed themselves or got closer to suicide because of that video.

00:28:00.000 It's been everywhere.

00:28:01.000 It's viral.

00:28:02.000 So someone who is struggling with suicidal ideation sees an elder totally at peace with exiting their own life.

00:28:10.000 A religious society, in more particular, one that is based on the truths of the Bible, which built the West, would find this repulsive, of which it is.

00:28:20.000 It would be challenging and say, look, I know you don't want to be dependent. 0.94

00:28:23.000 I know not your pain.

00:28:24.000 You have consciousness.

00:28:25.000 You have agency, you have free will.

00:28:27.000 What else can you give?

00:28:28.000 Are there letters you can write to future generations?

00:28:31.000 Are there memories you can recollect?

00:28:33.000 Are there speeches that you can give?

00:28:35.000 Are there young people you can counsel?

00:28:37.000 What she's basically saying in the video, with all due respect, is that I've mentored enough people.

00:28:44.000 I've helped enough people.

00:28:45.000 Nah, I'm done with this world.

00:28:47.000 Doesn't matter if other people are suffering.

00:28:48.000 Why are you here, grandma?

00:28:51.000 Are you here just for yourself?

00:28:52.000 Or maybe you're here to ease the suffering of another?

00:28:56.000 She's saying, nah, I'm done.

00:28:59.000 A religious society would say only God knows the time and place.

00:29:03.000 It is not up to the human will.

00:29:05.000 And now, unfortunately, this sweet woman, by all accounts, she looks sweet.

00:29:10.000 This will be her legacy.

00:29:12.000 Her legacy will be pulling the plug on her own terms, as if I'm in charge of that. 0.89

00:29:18.000 I want your thoughts.

00:29:19.000 Do you think there's any redeeming qualities to medically assisted suicide?

00:29:23.000 I think it's sad.

00:29:24.000 I think it's tragic.

00:29:25.000 I don't mean to bash this woman.

00:29:27.000 I mean, she's likely deceased by now.

00:29:29.000 If she hasn't, maybe she'll reconsider.

00:29:31.000 I hope she does.

00:29:32.000 I don't like any of this.

00:29:33.000 I don't like a culture of death.

00:29:34.000 I don't like the celebration of disregarding what the divine has given us.

00:30:50.000 One of the more depressing aspects of this story of the grandmother that was celebrating her willful plan.

00:30:59.000 I don't know if it was followed through.

00:31:00.000 If she's still alive, I hope you reconsider.

00:31:02.000 You can reconsider.

00:31:04.000 Was the comments.

00:31:05.000 Now, they say that she has a terminal diagnosis.

00:31:08.000 That's nothing to be toyed with.

00:31:10.000 Terminal diagnosis means you're going to die.

00:31:12.000 Guess what? 0.84

00:31:12.000 We're all going to die. 0.84

00:31:14.000 The question is, are you then going to go out of your way to first, and I think the part of this that animates me the most is yes, the moral decision of killing yourself is bad.

00:31:25.000 But even worse than that is the popularization and the celebration of what that does to a young person or a younger generation that is already the most suicidal generation in history.

00:31:39.000 So, you have the most suicidal generation in history, and you got this elderly woman who seems by all accounts very sweet, super misinformed by secular society with her Victoria's secret model, granddaughter.

00:31:55.000 Now, based on her TikTok account, oh, she died around last Wednesday.

00:31:58.000 Well, it's too bad.

00:31:59.000 It's really a tragedy.

00:32:00.000 She didn't have to do that.

00:32:02.000 She could have followed all the way through the end.

00:32:04.000 She had more to give.

00:32:06.000 What arrogance to say, I'm done.

00:32:10.000 Man.

00:32:12.000 The comments are celebrating her decision and seeing how strong she is for making the decision she made.

00:32:17.000 Oh, that's terrible.

00:32:19.000 The comments in the video show how more, honestly, how morally sick this country is.

00:32:25.000 I'm going to stand on principle here, and some of you will disagree because you say, Oh, body sovereignty, that's fine.

00:32:31.000 You can have that belief.

00:32:33.000 I do not ever want to embrace a society through our laws or customs or how we talk that ever makes suicide acceptable.

00:32:45.000 That is a country of death.

00:32:46.000 I'm sad.

00:32:47.000 I'm mourning her loss because what if she had an extra day of potential?

00:32:52.000 I want you to think about something.

00:32:54.000 There was probably a day where you were like, you know what?

00:32:56.000 I really contributed something.

00:32:58.000 I counseled a friend.

00:33:00.000 I helped mend a broken heart.

00:33:02.000 I counseled somebody that needed it.

00:33:04.000 I was compassionate.

00:33:05.000 Imagine if God had in store another day for her and she said, Meh, physician-assisted suicide or suicide in general is using the human will against the divine, saying, I'm on my own terms.

00:33:22.000 Again, as I would say, I'll repeat myself: I'm done serving, I'm done contributing, I'm done giving.

00:33:27.000 And some people say, Well, Charlie, they should have a full and complete right to do that.

00:33:33.000 Should the laws point towards that?

00:33:36.000 I understand if you're in pain.

00:33:38.000 I get that.

00:33:40.000 Meaning, I understand that's a tough spot to be in.

00:33:43.000 But I would just challenge you: what does that video do?

00:33:45.000 Does that video save us towards celebrating a cultural life or getting us closer to a culture of death?

00:33:53.000 Some people might say, Well, Charlie, what about putting dogs to sleep?

00:33:55.000 Human beings are not dogs.

00:33:57.000 We have a soul.
