On this episode, on a special Sunday episode of the Charlie Kirk Show, my conversation with First Principles Forum in Indiana and I take some questions from the audience. On the show, we talk about the Great Reset, globalism, and what it means to be a globalist.
00:00:59.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:13.000Charlie and I are excited because on the way walking over here, I was telling him some thoughts I had about how deep we want to go and he said, all right, let's do it.
00:02:46.000They have stated aims and objectives, what the great reset is and what they think the world is going to look like in the coming decades, if you will, in 2030 or 2040.
00:02:56.000some of their goals are so provocative i personally believe it's called hiding in plain sight so my belief is that it's so hard to grasp that their communication strategy is that instead of doing it in kind of smoke-filled rooms they just put it on a website and then they say oh it's not news it's Come on, it's right there on the website.
00:03:13.000And you read this stuff, you're like, oh, wow, you say that we're going to own nothing and we're going to be happy by the year 2030.
00:03:24.000And so the World Economic Forum meets with regularity and they have a lot of power.
00:03:31.000Now, out of these meetings come other kind of global contracts and treaties and the kind of push towards this borderless society that we're seeing, you know, very quickly here in the West.
00:03:42.000That's kind of where it's masterminded.
00:03:44.000Now, this is all run by an individual by the name of Klaus Schwab.
00:03:47.000Now, if anyone ever seen the Bond film Spectre, there is that character called Blofeld, acted by the great Christoph Waltz.
00:03:56.000I mean, this Klaus Schwab guy wears like a space suit.
00:03:59.000It's like straight out of central casting.
00:04:01.000Now, whoever in the European kind of community thought it'd be a good idea to have a very hard-to-understand German as the head of like the Bond villain thing, like you couldn't pick the French guy when he's going to take over the world.
00:04:15.000Like when he talks, you can't even believe it.
00:04:17.000And so they just got done with their meeting.
00:04:19.000They talk about digital vaccine passports.
00:04:22.000They're talking about the inevitability of world currencies collapsing.
00:04:26.000So we're going to explore this a little bit because I believe that if you get even a little bit of what I'm talking about tonight, it's the proper prism for you to be able to view otherwise confusing news.
00:05:01.000And I believe personally, we're living through the intentional breaking of a lot of what we hold near and dear here in the West and in America, especially on the terms of border economic strength and otherwise.
00:05:12.000One other point I want to make about the great reset in the World Economic Forum is that whenever we mention it, the media always kind of calls this a conspiracy theory.
00:05:20.000You're more than welcome to go tonight and fact check everything I'm saying.
00:05:24.000It's on the World Economic Freedom, World Economic Forum website very clearly.
00:05:28.000You say, that's really what they're talking about and what they're planning.
00:05:32.000We could talk about that tonight if you want to explore that.
00:05:35.000But I personally believe the most important news item that has not been covered the last couple of weeks was the gathering in the World Economic Forum and the gathering happening right now in Geneva, Switzerland with the World Health Assembly.
00:05:47.000And praise God, 12 out of 13 of the amendments that the Biden administration came to try to impose, which actually would have weakened America and would have brought in potential international digital vaccine passports, have failed at the World Health Assembly in the last couple of days.
00:06:01.000And largely because of all of you that have been shining a light on that and really exposing that.
00:08:03.000And it just kind of goes, they start asking questions about Turning Point USA.
00:08:06.000And I can't tell you how comforting it is to know the World Economic Forum is worried about Turning Point USA.
00:08:11.000It's one of the great accomplishments of my career that these people, like, Turning Point Set of Representative, like, perfect, it's great.
00:08:21.000So we have a new book out that any one of you, you guys can get free of charge, just not free of charge, it's a gift of any amount, I should say, $5, $2, $10 at tpusa.com called The Conservative Response to the Great Reset, because this can be very overwhelming.
00:08:36.000And if I could just add a couple more details about this.
00:08:38.000So you go to the World Economic Forum website.
00:08:41.000They have what they think the world is going to look like by 2030.
00:08:44.000These are aims or objectives or goals.
00:08:46.000Some of these are kind of really weird.
00:08:48.000For example, you're not going to eat meat anymore, that we'll have people going to Mars.
00:09:22.000It's also your ability to copyright your own work.
00:09:25.000For those of you that are artists or musicians, private property means that you'd own nothing.
00:09:30.000This is a goal that they think is going to happen by 2030.
00:09:33.000Boy, that starts to all of a sudden add some clarity to the otherwise confusing inflation policies we've seen.
00:09:38.000You can only make people own nothing if you completely deteriorate the currency.
00:09:42.000It's number one, you'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
00:09:44.000Number two, America will no longer be the world's superpower.
00:09:47.000That's a stated goal by the World Economic Forum.
00:09:50.000So in order to get the world to become kind of a globalist project, they must destroy America's strength and dominance both economically, our sovereignty, and otherwise.
00:10:00.000It's right there on the website that America will no longer be the world's superpower.
00:10:03.000And then the third one is that Western values will be brought to a breaking point.
00:10:07.000Now, this one in particular kind of goes over people's heads.
00:10:27.000Most other countries do not have it where the strong go out of their way to protect the weak.
00:10:31.000If any of you have spent time in India, you know it's a caste system that if you're in a certain area, you have no moral obligation to stop and help somebody on the side of the road.
00:10:40.000It's a Western value to have a, let's say, a focus that if you have something, that you should try to help somebody else.
00:10:49.000Now, Western values, I believe, have created the most wealthy, the most generous, the greatest place to live in the history of the world, period.
00:10:57.000Western values are an outgrowth of the Bible, outgrowth of this idea of self-government, first principles, of course, principles given to us by God.
00:11:04.000What do you replace Western values with?
00:11:06.000Well, they would replace them with this idea of not the many ruling the few, but the few ruling the many.
00:11:12.000Almost all throughout human history, people were not citizens.
00:11:16.000They were subjects or they were slaves or they were serfs.
00:11:39.000However, they don't like this idea of the disagreeable act of citizen.
00:11:43.000And so those are the, so they have a lot of stated goals, but I just want to add one thing, and I have to take it, and it's not a cheap shot.
00:11:51.000Your governor went and visited the World Economic Forum inexplicably.
00:11:56.000And I can't even imagine how you would be able to look yourself in the mirror or your voters and say, I'm going to go spend time with the people that are saying we want America to be weaker.
00:12:08.000They're saying that the three goals, you'll own nothing, you'll be happy.
00:12:12.000America will no longer be the world's superpower.
00:12:13.000And Western values will be brought to a breaking point.
00:13:27.000Yeah, so the seven mountains of cultural influence, it actually started with a Pentecostal preacher who came up with this in the 1940s or 50s, who actually said this is how Christians are going to take back the culture.
00:13:37.000What he didn't realize is that he beautifully articulated how the left was taking over the culture, just so you understand the background.
00:13:43.000So those seven mountains of cultural influence are a really good way to divide every single way the left has made America less free in the last couple decades.
00:13:57.000Disney made billions of dollars being a safe haven for families.
00:14:00.000Disney was always the safe choice where moms and dads could be making dinner, turn on a Disney film, and you don't have to be policing everything that's on TV because you know that there were good values and morals and clean content there.
00:14:10.000Disney has taken a sharp turn from a safe haven for families to now put forward content that is so reprehensible where they are saying that 50% of their characters by the end of this calendar year are going to be gay, bisexual, or transgender, and that almost every single one of their movies is going to have a gay kissing scene for five, six, and seven-year-olds to see.
00:14:30.000They are now saying that, and then they come out against the Florida voting law, which is like the most boring law ever, by the way, saying that parents should know what their children are being taught and that sex education has no place for a four, five, or six-year-old.
00:14:44.000Nowhere in that law did it say don't say gay.
00:15:31.000These kind of outrageous examples I'm giving are recent and receive backlash.
00:15:36.000But what doesn't get the attention is that the subtle kind of mentions in the arts over the last 30 to 40 years were actually far more effective than he's expecting, which is just insane.
00:15:48.000People look at that, or the special cuties that Netflix did, which was basically child pornography, by the way.
00:15:55.000In fact, Netflix got indicted in a county in Texas for putting that forward.
00:15:59.000It's so extraordinary when you watch that special.
00:16:02.000It's beyond what I could, it's sick, anyone that has to watch that.
00:16:06.000And so, but what they did with the arts, though, is they realized that, look, you guys can teach your kids whatever values you want.
00:16:14.000If we control what movies and TV shows they watch, then we're really going to shape how they view the world.
00:16:20.000And so, arts and the entertainment, from the music that young people listen to to the stories that are told, they've completely taken it over.
00:16:49.000A person without a father grows up in a place of vulnerability, like under a staircase, on Tatooine, or in the Shire.
00:16:56.000Out of nowhere, they get called to adventure, and someone who knows what they're talking about, an age elder, comes in and charts their direction, like Gandalf, like Dumbledore, or like Obi-Wan Kenobi.
00:17:07.000They go through kind of a period of self-reflection, like, who am I and how did I get here?
00:17:11.000They start to rebel against that, and they start to build a team.
00:17:14.000A team like in Harry Potter would be Hermoni, or Ron, or in Star Wars would be Chewbacca and Han Solo, or in Lord of the Rings, would be Bilbo and the entire team of Hobbits.
00:17:28.000They then go on this journey and they realize that when they have to go fight evil, the true evil that they have to confront is actually in themselves.
00:17:37.000The climax of all three films, Harry Potter, Frodo, and Star Wars, it's the voice in your head.
00:17:44.000It's your own dragon that you have to slay in order to be able to get to that next level.
00:17:49.000All three of them end the same way, right?
00:18:33.000Like socially estranged 19-year-old youth who has gender identity problems, gets into heavy drugs, and like meanders between Seattle and Portland and has like free sex and like ends up like almost committing suicide, decides not to, and finds a cooking hobby.
00:19:19.000Yeah, and this is the hardest one for a lot of people here to grasp, right?
00:19:23.000Because I grew up in America where business was on team right, where business was team America, they were team free markets, and we were always kind of fighting the opponents of business.
00:19:47.000But corporations have now totally become co-opted by the worst, most woke social justice warrior influences you can imagine.
00:19:56.000I mean, how do we get to a place where all of a sudden these otherwise non-political companies like Google are coming out and you type in, can a man become pregnant in Google?
00:20:09.000Where Apple comes out, you could check it on your iPhone tonight, where they have a pregnant man emoji on your Apple iPhone.
00:20:17.000And you say, how on earth did this happen?
00:20:19.000Well, largely because of weakness and because the CEOs were on the latter end of their career, they just wanted to cash out.
00:20:24.000They wanted to get their bonuses and they didn't want to try to confront the HR demons, if you will, of these kind of social justice warrior activists that have infiltrated their company.
00:20:35.000But I have another opinion, though, which is, and this is very contrarian, so go with me really quickly on this.
00:20:41.000I think cheap money policies subsidize really bad social behavior.
00:20:45.000So when you print all this money out of thin air after you lock down society and everyone gets record corporate profits artificially, then really, really bad ideas are allowed to be entertained because the company is not in a place of crisis.
00:20:57.000Now, this is the only good thing that will come out of a recession is that finally the woke people, all of a sudden they're going to do like kind of a forensic audit of Coca-Cola and be like, yeah, those 3,000 lunatics that work in the HR department that kind of work on Tuesday and maybe Thursday, and they're constantly complaining and telling us to fire every white man in our company.
00:21:14.000Like maybe we should fire them because we're not turning a profit this quarter, right?
00:21:18.000And so cheap money policies and kind of really bad business practices, I believe, have unintentionally subsidized the worst influences that have now infiltrated corporate America.
00:21:30.000When companies have to reduce their workforce and tighten their belt, the woke will be the first to go.
00:21:35.000And it will be hilarious to see these CEOs, not just for the woke, these CEOs that are going to get all these leaks on them and these harassment suits.
00:21:48.000It's like, you were never really with us, you fake.
00:21:50.000And like, you can never appease these people, right?
00:21:52.000But I just want to make sure you guys know, out of the Fortune 100 companies, there might be a couple exceptions, but a majority of the Fortune 100 companies are at direct war with your values.
00:22:02.000And I know that's a hard thing for people to accept and to believe, but it's now become a total co-opted with team left.
00:22:08.000And that's something we have to admit and push back against.
00:22:10.000And it's important to research those things as well because they don't hide a lot of these agendas.
00:22:15.000We talk about, when we laugh about a pregnant male emoji, we talk about infiltration.
00:22:19.000It's very sad because our children, two and three and four and five-year-olds, are seeing this and they're becoming confused and they're becoming desensitized to basic values.
00:22:28.000And that's where we go into the education because it's been infiltration there as well.
00:22:33.000You guys can look up the exact numbers yourself, but something like 95% of all Google, Facebook, and Twitter employees gave money to Joe Biden and less than 1% gave money to Trump.
00:22:58.000This is one that I spend all my time on.
00:23:00.000Education comes from a Latin word, which means to lead forth, and we are not leading forth our children towards wisdom or virtue recently.
00:23:06.000Our education system is so sorely broken from the beginning to college and to post-college, a doctor to master to doctorate.
00:23:14.000One of the only positives that I believe that came out of the Fauci virus was the fact that parents finally started to get active, engaged, and mad at what their kids were being taught in these schools.
00:23:28.000And I just want to encourage all of you, and I want to thank all of you.
00:23:32.000If you're a mom out there that asks questions forcefully of a teacher or administrator, thank you, keep it up.
00:23:37.000If you showed up at a school board meeting, thank you, keep it up.
00:24:13.000Look, the questions are almost always the same, which is you got to find the curriculum, find out first-person testimonials, find out if they're doing diversity, equity, inclusion seminars.
00:24:23.000And so they're not going to call it critical race theory.
00:24:48.000I care about who you are as a human being.
00:24:50.000Your melanin content is completely immaterial.
00:24:53.000And so, but these are good questions just to ask.
00:24:56.000And so you could also fill out a FOIA, which your attorney general can help you with, which is a freedom of information request or freedom of information act.
00:25:04.000And now, mind you, schools can play games and they could delay you and they could filibuster all those different sorts of things.
00:25:09.000Let me just say one more thing about education, though, is that, and now I'm going to challenge everybody in the audience a little bit.
00:25:15.000You might get a little uncomfortable at this time, but that's okay.
00:25:17.000You brought me here to tell you the truth, not just to, you know, tell everything that's rosy.
00:25:22.000College, as it is right now, is doing unbelievable damage to our country.
00:25:27.000And it needs to be repeated and it needs to be understood by everybody.
00:25:30.000A majority of kids going to college should not be going to college.
00:25:38.000They have to take classes they don't want to take.
00:25:40.000They said, I wouldn't be here if my parents didn't force me.
00:25:43.000A vast majority of people that go to college are not going to become engineers or doctors or lawyers.
00:25:47.000They're coming to get a piece of paper because they're told they have to go.
00:25:50.000If you send your child or grandchild to college, you are playing Russian roulette with their values.
00:25:55.000And if you have a kid that successfully survived college and still shares your values, praise God every single day.
00:26:02.000Because the most frustrating conversations I have and the notes that I get from our over 100,000 donors we have at Turning Point USA are parents that write me and they say, I dropped my kid off at Notre Dame.
00:26:16.000I dropped my kid off at Northwestern and I've never seen them since.
00:26:20.000They came back for Thanksgiving and I said, hey, honey, how was your first semester at Northwestern?
00:26:40.000And so we need more people in the trades.
00:26:43.000We need more carpenters, electricians, and plumbers and people that work at their hands in our country.
00:26:47.000Now, let me challenge you further, though.
00:26:50.000I'm so glad everyone applauds, but we said this in our conversation earlier.
00:26:54.000I'm going to challenge you a little bit.
00:26:56.000Don't be the parent that quietly doesn't want your kid to walk to work construction because that's most people in upper middle class America.
00:27:04.000Most people in this room, if you're honest with yourselves, you don't want your kid to become a plumber because it would be tough explaining to your neighbors your kid became a plumber.
00:27:14.000So just and I, the number one reason why kids are pressured into four-year degrees is because of parental pressure and parent and just kind of general family pressure.
00:29:08.000There's other ways, but classical does it the best where the student understands they are on a hard work journey to understand the beautiful, the good, and the true.
00:29:18.000It's not, and this is another thing about education.
00:29:20.000This is why we have the most miserable generation in history.
00:29:24.000And I know it because a lot of my friends are totally miserable and they grew up in the same generation I did, which is this is the damage of the self-esteem movement.
00:29:32.000The self-esteem movement had really good intentions.
00:29:35.000It has done unbelievable damage to our country.
00:29:37.000Where you kind of walk around a school and it's this poster and it says you're perfect the way you are.
00:29:42.000And I remember turning to a teacher, I said, if I'm perfect the way I am, why am I in school?
00:30:08.000We have all these horrific tragedies happening, all this.
00:30:11.000The isolation of young men and the hyper-feminization of our culture and our education system is largely to blame.
00:30:19.000And I think, too, when we go into conversations, you're asking school boards, you're asking teachers, understand the definition that they're operating under.
00:30:27.000One of the biggest questions I would always tell parents is: know the difference between equity and equality.
00:30:32.000Those are two very fundamentally different things.
00:30:35.000And when people say equity, a lot of times people think they're talking about equality and they're not.
00:30:40.000Yeah, and so there's equality under the law, which is what our country was founded on.
00:30:45.000There is equality of opportunity, which is something we should strive for, but we're never going to get.
00:30:50.000But we can get close through charter schools and try to bring people out of it.
00:31:02.000Equity is taking from the successful or the industrious or the disciplined to give to the people that are not as disciplined or have not applied themselves as much.
00:31:26.000If I gave every single one of you $100 and you came back a week from now, some people would make really good decisions and you'd go buy some cryptocurrency you never heard of and you're super rich.
00:31:35.000Some of you would just go to the bar and gamble it and you'd have nothing.
00:31:38.000When you have agency, that means you're going to have outliers.
00:31:42.000Now, that doesn't mean we should have charity and compassion and benevolence for those people.
00:31:45.000But when you're talking about the use of the state in that regard, then all of a sudden you're talking about punishing the successful, the entrepreneurial, the industrious, and the people that had good ideas at the expense of the people that did not properly discipline themselves or have such as good ideas.
00:31:59.000So it's a tough truth that people don't want to say out loud.
00:32:20.000When families are strong, government is not as necessary for social programs, for interventions, all these different sorts of things.
00:32:28.000So there's been a deliberate attempt to try to destroy the family.
00:32:31.000Look, I could go into great detail about some of the reasons for this.
00:32:34.000I believe that in the 1960s and early 1970s, the feminist movement did a lot of damage to destroying what it really means to have strong nuclear families in America.
00:32:47.000We are now seeing a vast majority of black Americans grow up without a stable father in the home.
00:32:53.000It's trending towards a majority of white Americans are growing up without a stable father in the home.
00:32:58.000I really put the blame mostly on men in this equation, though.
00:33:02.000I mentioned this in the end of my previous answer.
00:33:04.000The hyper-feminization of men has been one of the worst things ever to happen.
00:33:10.000You are not the man your grandfather was.
00:33:12.000Testosterone levels are down 80% over the last 30 years.
00:33:16.000I think it's everything from the toxins in our food to our, from oversaturated fat diet to hyper, to hyper, high-fructose corn syrup, overdone in our society and overdone in our diets.
00:33:36.000People attack me like you wouldn't believe when I say that.
00:33:38.000Like, no, actually, red meat's awesome, and it's good for society because they did it for thousands of years and they were just fine.
00:33:43.000So, but yeah, the family, look, we have a society right now where we have encouraged people to almost marry the government and not stay loyally married to their spouse.
00:34:16.000It's the opposite of what the climate change alarmists have actually been saying recently.
00:34:20.000So we have the least married generation in history and having the least children ever.
00:34:25.000So this is really interesting because you would think that post-COVID, when everyone is kind of hunkered down at home all the time, that birth rates would go up.
00:34:35.000But they actually went down substantially.
00:34:38.000And that goes to show, like they went down unlike anything we've ever seen, and people can't believe it.
00:34:42.000And they went down because having children is a value.
00:34:47.000The impulse to do what it requires to have children is not a value.
00:35:29.000And what is the outcome that they're looking for?
00:35:31.000And a lot of people thought out of their good hearts that they were supporting something that was going to do good, that stayed for good, that stood for civil rights.
00:35:37.000It does not stand for any of those things.
00:35:39.000And unfortunately, we're going to talk about media next.
00:35:41.000The media was not educating people on what they were supporting.
00:35:44.000Businesses were not being educated on what they were supporting.
00:35:47.000Now we see a lot of corruption that has come out of that organization.
00:36:11.000And I will echo that because being in the media, it's not what many of us journalists signed up for.
00:36:18.000Our job as journalists was to practice ethical journalism, to give you full and complete unbiased information so that you have the freedom to make well-educated decisions for yourself and for your family.
00:36:31.000That is not what's happening right now.
00:36:33.000The moment the media decided we're going to manipulate information, we're going to omit information, they took on the role of God.
00:37:37.000I have seen more entrepreneurial activity, more new kind of ventures in this space than I ever would have dreamed possible.
00:37:46.000And so Joe Rogan is the number one podcaster on the planet after they tried to destroy him, after they tried to smear him.
00:37:53.000And so if you want to get some hope, because I know a lot of you want some hope, go to Apple Podcasts and just go to the top 20 podcasts out there in the news category.
00:38:02.000Consistently, 14 to 15 out of the top 20 podcasts on Apple Podcasts are conservative podcasts.
00:38:09.000And young people listen to podcasts a lot more than people over the age of 50.
00:38:15.000So there's no way you can manipulate this, by the way.
00:38:18.000It's straight up, whichever podcasts are the most successful, most popular, getting the most subscriptions.
00:38:23.000And so there are podcasts like ours, like Ben Shapiro, like Dan Bongino, like Steve Bannon, like Matt Walsh, like Michael Knowles, like Candace Owens.
00:38:31.000And you look at this and there's, okay, there's the New York Times and NPR, they're top five, but then it's just this nonstop, like conservative, And what is it about podcasts, though?
00:38:41.000Is that the delivery mechanism is someone has to go seek it out, right?
00:38:45.000It's like you don't turn on it, you can turn on a channel, I guess, if you watch it on YouTube or on Rumble.
00:38:49.000But the point is that you have to earn your listeners.
00:38:52.000Is that the point with cable news is it's kind of automatic viewing.
00:39:03.000Podcast, you're not going to go listen to a podcast unless it's good, unless you find some meaning in it, unless you find something worthwhile.
00:39:09.000And conservatives are dominating the podcast space.
00:39:15.000Whenever we are given a fair hearing, so one of my favorite kind of questions that Mark Zuckerberg got in front of Congress, well, my second favorite question, my favorite question was when one of those 85-year-old senators asked him, like, hey, can you help me log into my Facebook?
00:39:29.000So, but Zuckerberg was asked, they said, why is by one of these left-wing senators, I think it was Elizabeth Warren, why is it that conservative content does so well on Facebook?
00:39:42.000Because he was expecting some sort of manipulation.
00:39:45.000And Zuckerberg, under oath, said, it's just the most popular content on our platform.
00:39:50.000He's like, we've done every data analysis.
00:40:05.000Outside of CNN, outside of NPR, which is funded by our taxpayer dollars, outside of the New York Times, the media landscape is changing rapidly in such an exciting and new way.
00:40:17.000And so, but they've done everything they possibly can.
00:40:19.000This is why, by the way, they have to.
00:40:22.000They're pulling out every trick in the book to make sure Elon Musk doesn't buy Twitter.
00:40:26.000They have to make, because censorship is central to their regime.
00:40:35.000If their victory was inevitable, their propaganda would not be necessary.
00:40:41.000If it was inevitable that they were going to win, they would not have to lie to us every single night.
00:40:46.000And it goes to show that there's so much weakness in what they're trying to actually implement, that their fear is a fair and honest hearing.
00:40:55.000That one of the reasons why Donald Trump won in 2016 was because Twitter and Facebook was kind of like the Wild West.
00:41:01.000Like if you had a good idea, and they locked that down in 2020.
00:41:08.000Zuckerberg tried to atone for his sin of letting Trump being president by putting $400 million through Zuckerboxes all across the country, these drop boxes.
00:41:17.000So to close the point on media, media is how we consume information news of the day.
00:41:21.000Five years ago, I would have been like, oh man, like three years ago, I'd been like, boy, it would have been tough.
00:41:37.000Numbers also show that our young people have such a thirst for truth right now.
00:41:41.000And that's why this post-truth society is so dangerous.
00:41:43.000We just need to make sure our young people have access to the truth.
00:41:46.000And these podcasts and the media is doing that.
00:41:48.000Really quick, five more minutes, because I want to give you in the audience an opportunity to ask Charlie questions.
00:41:53.000Religion, when we look at the political landscape, a lot of us will say, and I know, Charlie, you've talked about this, this really is not a political fight.
00:42:04.000And so, look, religion always, especially in American Christianity, it was traditionally on team right.
00:42:10.000It was definitely more on the conservative side.
00:42:13.000But in recent years, I think we've seen a lot of pastors and churches all of a sudden kind of become left-wing activist organizations where I drive by church after church and they have the LGBT flag or they have the Black Lives Matter flag.
00:42:26.000And they've understood that it's a key pillar of cultural influence to try to impact and to try to steer in a favorable direction.
00:42:33.000I do believe this is a spiritual fight.
00:42:35.000I do believe there's an invisible war that manifests itself in the visible.
00:42:38.000And I believe that we must engage in that in any way we possibly can.
00:42:42.000But I think we must understand, though, that George Soros and the left, they are pumping in tons of money to try to take over churches, take over seminaries, because they think if they can get the church to become further left-wing, then the country will fall with it.
00:42:56.000And we talked with Pastor Micah at great length about this last evening.
00:43:57.000I have a 15-year-old, and I can't imagine him having to support the principles we have grounded him in in three years with the challenges I had with my college professors.
00:44:09.000So much to the point that you're saying.
00:44:13.000I am worried because I was required to take a class on globalism in order to graduate.
00:44:20.000I'm not sure he's there yet, and God willing, he will be.
00:44:24.000But how do we, as Americans, make the federal government understand that we don't have a lot of interest in UNESCO in the United Nations and NATO when they have their same eight millennial goals that the WEF has?
00:45:18.000In Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago, they didn't want to enforce federal immigration law, so they created sanctuary cities.
00:45:26.000Sanctuary cities are an act of secession.
00:46:44.000And so the final thing I'll say is this: Indiana should do what Ron DeSantis is doing, pass a preemptive measure saying that any measure from WHO, World Health Organization, will not apply in the state of Indiana, period.
00:49:00.000In fact, I think an armed citizenry keeps us more peaceful, actually.
00:49:04.000I think it keeps the government in check.
00:49:06.000And I'll make one final point on this, which is if you look at the 20th century and you're trying to tell me that you still trust governments after what you saw, what happened in Germany, the Soviet Union, Mao Zedong's China, Cambodia with Pol Pot, or Vietnam, and you're trying to tell me that we should just always just let the government have all the guns?
00:49:25.000The founding fathers understood the Second Amendment protects all the other amendments.
00:49:29.000I understand people's sensitivities on this issue.
00:49:31.000I totally resonate and understand that.
00:49:33.000But I want you to go look right now at Shanghai when 26 million people have been locked in their homes the last 60 days because the tyrant told them to do so.
00:49:41.000If they had guns, that would not happen.
00:49:44.000They would ask them and they'd go back to work.
00:50:06.000And a question I have, and I'll bet you a lot of people in this room have, is we understand what's happening as adults, and we know we need courage.
00:50:18.000How do we instill that in our children without taking all the joy out of their life, right?
00:50:24.000It's this balance between they're young, they should be happy, they should be joyful, and yet the message I have as a mother is one that's pretty darn heavy.
00:51:00.000I don't like it and you don't like it.
00:51:01.000I hate seeing our country snatched away from people that I believe are illegitimately in power that have been doing everything wrong intentionally for a long time.
00:51:12.000It's hard when I see members of my generation who reach out to me on a daily basis with problems and issues of depression, suicide, mental health issues.
00:51:23.000Just so we understand, it's the most suicidal, drug-addicted, alcohol-addicted, anxious, Medicaid generation history.
00:52:08.000With that being said, though, I think you should try to understand that when they're 20 and 23, if they say, Mom, I don't care, that's fine.
00:52:16.000Give them that space because eventually they will have to care.
00:52:21.000And politics will take an interest in them, even if they don't take an interest in politics.
00:52:26.000And let me just kind of say one final thing on the younger generation and give some marching orders/slash some hope.
00:52:33.000Look, we got some serious problems with this generation.
00:52:36.000Rent has gone up 37% in one month in Phoenix, month over month.
00:52:40.000We are creating a generation of renters that are unable to buy homes and are feeling increasingly cynical about the American economic financial system.
00:52:49.000If we're not serious about addressing this, you are going to see very radical policies and politics come forward in a way that we've never seen before.
00:52:56.000I'm talking about massive generation bashing, and it's going to be very, very negative.
00:53:00.000With that being said, the positive is where we could turn a lot of this discontent and a lot of this frustration that younger voters have and say, hey, we're going to be the party that will make it easier for you to buy a home, get married, and have children.
00:53:13.000Those three things are conservatizing events.
00:53:16.000Those three things make you more bought into the system.
00:53:19.000You want to know why people march in the streets and they're looking for meaning because they don't own anything.
00:53:24.000They're increasingly less married and they're not having children at as high rates.
00:53:27.000So those are the three things that I would implore to answer that question.
00:53:32.000So to close it all together, just kind of one plug.
00:53:35.000If you're not subscribed to my podcast, I would really appreciate it if you guys would consider doing it.
00:53:39.000We do three podcasts a day, three hours of radio a day.
00:54:38.000That's why I love first principles, what you're doing.
00:54:40.000I love the school board mom showing up because if we're serious about saving America, it's going to be that all of us are going to be the arena.
00:54:47.000Now, not all of you have to go as wild as I'm going, you know, 330 days on the road going to Berkeley and Boulder back-to-back days and doing podcasts and radio.
00:54:57.000But instead, for some of you, it's like, man, I can become a precinct committee man, or I can support a school board candidate, or I'm going to homeschool my kids, or I'm going to create a pod schooling network.
00:55:07.000One of the coolest stories I heard today.
00:55:08.000I'm going to do something constructive.
00:55:10.000So, three things: take time to learn every single day.
00:55:13.000Learn something you didn't know yesterday about your country, about your nation, or about your faith.
00:55:16.000You'll be a happier person and you'll be more convicted towards action.
00:55:20.000Number two, help support the fighters.
00:55:22.000There's two types of people in the world that are necessary for this fight: the fighters and the people that help the fighters.
00:55:28.000There's the George Washingtons and there's the John Hancocks.
00:55:30.000John Hancock is really famous for his signature because it was big.
00:55:33.000He never wore the uniform of the Continental Army.
00:55:39.000He made sure all the things were held together, but he was just as important as the people that went and fought in the battles that founded our country.
00:55:46.000And the third thing that I just want to kind of, we have to build new stuff.
00:55:49.000We have to build bigger families, build bigger churches.
00:55:52.000We have to support businesses that share our values.
00:55:55.000We have to support the next generation of entrepreneurs.
