00:01:18.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:01:20.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:24.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:27.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:28.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:29.000 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.
00:01:37.000 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.
00:01:46.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:49.000 Pastor John, it's actually right here.
00:01:52.000 Thank you guys so much.
00:01:53.000 Pastor John, welcome to Phoenix.
00:01:55.000 Thank you for having me.
00:01:56.000 You came here in the cool season.
00:01:58.000 So now I know why you're all here tonight.
00:02:02.000 Air conditioning.
00:02:03.000 I get it, right?
00:02:04.000 It's the only reason why you would be here tonight.
00:02:06.000 Pastor John, tell us about yourself.
00:02:08.000 Tell us about your walk with the Lord and the work you do.
00:02:10.000 Yes, so my name is John Amanchuku, and I'm blessed to have my wife with me here today.
00:02:13.000 Come on, Crystal, just stand up. 1.00
00:02:16.000 I'm a man married to a woman, and I celebrate that.
00:02:20.000 Amen.
00:02:21.000 We have three wonderful children, 12, 11, and 5.
00:02:25.000 We've been married going on now 15 years.
00:02:28.000 Another big hand clap goes there.
00:02:32.000 And so I'm just a country preacher from Raleigh, North Carolina, that believes in God's truth, and I'm not afraid to stand up for biblical truth and biblical authority.
00:02:42.000 I'm a pastor who's a true watchman and not a wimp.
00:02:46.000 And I'm not afraid to speak truth to power and to push back against the god-awful ideologies that have been pushed down our children's throats, but also upon the black community. 1.00
00:02:59.000 You know, I want to say something tonight, and I want you to hear me clearly. 0.99
00:03:03.000 Blacks have become the cheap prostitutes of the Democratic Party. 1.00
00:03:08.000 They screw us and barely pay us, but we keep running back for more. 1.00
00:03:15.000 That took you like 90 seconds.
00:03:18.000 We already got New York Times, Washington Post.
00:03:20.000 Keep going.
00:03:25.000 And so, you know, I'm sick of this notion that blacks need the government to think for them. 0.73
00:03:32.000 You know, when you have men like President Joe Biden who come out and say, you know, if you're going to vote for President Donald Trump, then you're not black.
00:03:41.000 Why does a black man or black woman have to have his color questioned when we want to support school choice versus the public education system?
00:03:51.000 Why do we have to have our skin tone question when we want to celebrate biblical marriage instead of perversion? 0.84
00:04:01.000 Why do we have to have our skin tone question when we support low taxes?
00:04:08.000 You know, look at what's going on in our economy.
00:04:12.000 It is the result of failed policies and ideas.
00:04:17.000 President Biden cut the Keystone pipeline and we're in a mess.
00:04:22.000 And we're not going to get out of this mess until we turn our face back towards God.
00:04:27.000 Let me say that again.
00:04:28.000 We're not going to get out of this mess until we turn our face back towards God and put God in his proper place because this nation was founded upon Judeo-Christian principles.
00:04:42.000 It was not founded upon Islam.
00:04:45.000 It was not founded upon Buddhism or Taoism or Scientology.
00:04:50.000 No, this nation was founded upon Judeo-Christian principles.
00:04:53.000 You better start talking, God.
00:04:54.000 No, I hope I'm enjoying this as much as you are.
00:04:58.000 I mean, so tell us that you wrote a book recently.
00:05:01.000 Yes.
00:05:02.000 And you talk openly about wokeism.
00:05:04.000 How would you define wokeism? 0.88
00:05:06.000 Wokeism is the loser theory. 0.99
00:05:11.000 If you want to become a loser in just wokeism, every time I think about critical race theory and what the pundits say about it and those who support it, I just say to myself, you know, for me to believe that you are inherently racist because of the color of your skin, that's asinine. 0.99
00:05:32.000 Racism is not a color. 0.99
00:05:34.000 It's a sin.
00:05:36.000 It's a sin.
00:05:38.000 The Bible says in Romans 3 and 23 that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
00:05:45.000 When it references sin there, it's talking about sin in general or all kinds of sin.
00:05:52.000 And so sinners sin. 0.99
00:05:54.000 Black people can be racist. 1.00
00:05:58.000 Contrary to popular opinion, Hispanics can be racist. 1.00
00:06:02.000 Pacific Islanders can be racist. 1.00
00:06:04.000 Others can be racist. 1.00
00:06:05.000 Asians can be racist. 1.00
00:06:06.000 And white people can be racist as well. 0.94
00:06:08.000 But racism is not a skin tone.
00:06:10.000 So I'll push back against that lie.
00:06:12.000 I believe that critical race theory is the Jim Crow era in reverse.
00:06:17.000 Blacks are now doing to whites what was once done to them. 1.00
00:06:23.000 Now, it was wrong in the 60s. 0.99
00:06:25.000 Amen?
00:06:26.000 A big hand clap goes there.
00:06:28.000 It was wrong in the 60s to disenfranchise minorities because of the color of their skin.
00:06:34.000 And it's wrong for us today to say that whites are inherently racist because of the color of their skin.
00:06:40.000 Critical race theory equals racism and the church needs to fight it.
00:06:49.000 So tell us more about your book.
00:06:50.000 It's called Erased.
00:06:51.000 Yes.
00:06:52.000 Tell us more about that.
00:06:53.000 Erased, uncovering the lines of critical race theory and abortion.
00:06:56.000 During the summer of 2020, while being out at one of the busiest abortion clinics in the Southeast, I had a black father approach me and tell me that I was standing outside of the abortion clinic where I had gone to, you know, for the past eight years.
00:07:11.000 He told me that I was fighting a white man's issue because I was trying to save babies.
00:07:17.000 Now, on that Saturday morning, 70% of the people outside trying to save the babies were white.
00:07:25.000 But nearly 80 to 85% of the people in the building prepared to abort their baby on that morning. 0.83
00:07:33.000 They were black.
00:07:34.000 But this father is going to tell me that I'm fighting a white man's issue because a black man who has three children, who has several things to do, goes down to a local abortion clinic just to save babies. 1.00
00:07:47.000 He was a liar. 0.99
00:07:48.000 And let me tell you something, man. 0.99
00:07:51.000 Abortion is not a white evangelical issue.
00:07:58.000 Calling abortion murder is not a white evangelical issue.
00:08:03.000 You know, if we would put the Ten Commandments back in our schools, it would reduce some of these school shootings and people will understand that it was God that called killing innocent people murders.
00:08:17.000 And so in my book, you find a biblical approach to come alongside some of the toughest issues of our day, like critical race theory and abortion and wokeism and transgenderism and school choice.
00:08:32.000 It is a support system to pastors who have weak voices, pastors who are afraid to deal with these issues.
00:08:40.000 And I also deal with the LGBTQ issue in my book as well.
00:08:44.000 You know, we are in the midst of Pride Month, right?
00:08:47.000 This is Pride Month.
00:08:49.000 You know, and I believe that every pastor should speak up and say something about Pride Month.
00:08:58.000 Every preacher who's worth his salt should say something about this month.
00:09:04.000 Now, if your pastor has nothing to say about Pride Month, I want you to know something, that you need to check his pulse, check his allies, and check his draws because someone's wearing lace.
00:09:22.000 Hear me?
00:09:25.000 Because here's the reality.
00:09:28.000 The left is coming for our children.
00:09:32.000 And over my dead body, not on my watch, I'm not going to allow anybody. 0.98
00:09:37.000 Can I stand up?
00:09:39.000 I'm not going to allow anybody to come after my children and attack my family.
00:09:45.000 Why?
00:09:46.000 Because a man lives in my house.
00:09:50.000 Can I get the real men to make some noise?
00:09:56.000 Can I get the mama bears to make some noise? 1.00
00:10:00.000 Yeah, it's time to fight, Charlie.
00:10:03.000 It's time to fight.
00:10:04.000 So what should a pastor talk about?
00:10:06.000 What should they say?
00:10:06.000 Pastors are afraid.
00:10:07.000 They say, you know, I don't know how to navigate these issues.
00:10:11.000 How do they tackle Pride Month?
00:10:12.000 Well, here's the reality.
00:10:13.000 We had this book called A Bible.
00:10:17.000 You know, if pastors would stop preaching about their vacations, the dog, the cat, and the lizard, and their quaint vacations, and get back to preaching from Genesis to Revelation, we could save this nation.
00:10:34.000 We can do it.
00:10:36.000 See, the Bible is more current than tomorrow's newspaper.
00:10:41.000 If you want to know what's going to take place tomorrow, turn your face to the book and God will show you what's taking place.
00:10:51.000 But many of our preachers, they know what to say, but they hold the truth in unrighteousness.
00:10:57.000 The Bible says, if our gospel be hid, it is hid to those that are lost.
00:11:04.000 And so many of our preachers would rather hide the truth to keep rear ends in the pews.
00:11:10.000 You know, you can't cancel a true born-again preacher.
00:11:16.000 I was canceled at the cross of Calvary.
00:11:19.000 When I gave my life to Christ, when I was baptized, I was canceled.
00:11:24.000 I became a new person.
00:11:26.000 I became a new creature.
00:11:28.000 Old things are passed away and behold, all things are become new.
00:11:31.000 And here's another thing.
00:11:33.000 Whatever you say about me, you can't change my reputation because I laid my reputation down as well.
00:11:41.000 And I'm standing for Jesus every chance that I get.
00:11:45.000 I could just listen to him.
00:11:47.000 I'm good.
00:11:49.000 So, but why is it so many pastors are afraid to talk about it then?
00:11:52.000 I mean, there seems to be a courage gap.
00:11:54.000 Is there a willingness gap?
00:11:57.000 Here's the issue.
00:11:58.000 More concerned about resources rather than the source.
00:12:03.000 You have resources and sources.
00:12:07.000 The progenitor of the resources is the source.
00:12:12.000 The source is God.
00:12:13.000 Many pastors are afraid to preach against LGBT issues because they might have a child that might be in that lifestyle or a family member or there might be a board member who's influential, who has deep pockets.
00:12:28.000 And we would rather keep the board member happy and not tick him off because he might withdraw his money.
00:12:36.000 The Bible says, allow your money to perish with you.
00:12:40.000 So if you want to pull your money out of a local church because the pastor is preaching goodbye and let your money perish with you, but you should expect your preacher to speak to these issues.
00:12:52.000 And it's easy as one, two, three.
00:12:55.000 Just preach the Bible.
00:12:58.000 Amen.
00:13:00.000 So let's talk about the black community.
00:13:03.000 Yes.
00:13:03.000 This is something that I think really is confusing to a lot of people.
00:13:07.000 The black community is actually more socially conservative in a lot of different ways than white liberals, especially in California or New York.
00:13:15.000 Why is it that the black community being more socially conservative, not on board for this transgender stuff? 0.99
00:13:22.000 Polls show that they actually are the least approving of it.
00:13:25.000 Why is it then that black pastors or black leaders then tend to tilt with the political left?
00:13:32.000 Yeah, and you know, Charlie, if I knew the true answer to that question, I might be a rich man. 0.95
00:13:36.000 All right, but I'm glad you asked a black pastor.
00:13:40.000 We can explore it together.
00:13:42.000 But here's the reality.
00:13:44.000 Consider Reverend Jesse Jackson, who coined the term black genocide, who once preached against abortion.
00:13:55.000 But when it was time for him to run for office, he sold his community down a river and would not touch the issue anymore.
00:14:04.000 Consider Barack Hussein Obama, the first black president who had a chance to right some wrongs and do some true work.
00:14:11.000 What did he do?
00:14:12.000 The majority of his support went towards two groups, Planned Parenthood and the LGBT community.
00:14:19.000 We have blown so many opportunities.
00:14:22.000 The issue is this.
00:14:23.000 Many in my community happen to be low information voters, and they're getting their information from the wrong people.
00:14:33.000 You should expect to go to church and to hear the truth about these issues, but the pastors are woke, and the pastors are preaching woke sermons.
00:14:44.000 So therefore, you have a woke pew, right?
00:14:48.000 If the pulpit is woke, then the parishioners are going to be woke.
00:14:53.000 But many blacks, they don't espouse to these things, but they oftentimes vote one way and pray another. 0.97
00:15:00.000 But guess what?
00:15:00.000 There's good news.
00:15:01.000 There is a remnant.
00:15:03.000 There are a group of blacks in this country who believe in black excellence, who believe in the two-parent family home, both sexes.
00:15:13.000 There is a group of minorities in this country who are rising up, who supported Donald Trump overwhelmingly, right?
00:15:21.000 You saw something change there.
00:15:23.000 I believe that there is a remnant coming, and all we need to do is continue to sound the alarm, keep the message out there before the masses, create opportunities for black voices to speak nationally, and we will turn this nation in the right direction in the black community. 0.99
00:15:42.000 This is such an important point because so many of these advocacy groups, it's driven by white liberals, not by grassroots in the black community.
00:15:51.000 Sure.
00:15:51.000 I mean, you look at BLM, otherwise known as Buy Large Mansions organization, that in the last couple of years raised over $100 million.
00:16:00.000 How much of that went to black charter schools?
00:16:02.000 Zero.
00:16:03.000 How much of that went towards getting black fathers back in the home?
00:16:06.000 Zero.
00:16:07.000 So let me get your thoughts on this.
00:16:09.000 There is an accusation, mostly thrown, by the way, by white liberals, that this idea of a two-parent household speaking properly, showing up on time, doing mathematics, doing science, it's all whiteness. 0.79
00:16:23.000 In fact, the African American History Museum, the Smithsonian African American History Museum, said that a couple summers ago.
00:16:29.000 Correct.
00:16:29.000 Help us, walk us through that.
00:16:31.000 Well, that's a lie.
00:16:32.000 It's not white to be articulate. 0.98
00:16:36.000 It's not white to walk around with a belt on.
00:16:39.000 You know, I put on a belt today.
00:16:41.000 And I guess I'm white, right? 0.97
00:16:43.000 Because I put on a belt, you know, and also I intentionally put on a suit because oftentimes the media portrays the black character as a buffoon, right?
00:16:54.000 And so every chance I get to present black excellence and to look adorned the proper way, I take an advantage of that opportunity to do so because I want to project the right message for the masses. 0.72
00:17:09.000 Now, this issue of, you know, excellence and blacks, you know, in their dress or in their attitude, being white, if they are proper, these things are lies. 0.99
00:17:26.000 You know, in our schools, they are attempting to make victims out of black students. 1.00
00:17:31.000 They're teaching them to hate their nation, to hate their country. 0.93
00:17:36.000 Rap and hip-hop music is further angering them and turning them against the white man because the white man has disenfranchised them.
00:17:45.000 Let me tell you something. 0.96
00:17:46.000 If Hispanics can come to this country and speak English as a second language and become successful, black people don't have an excuse. 0.99
00:17:55.000 Asian Americans do well in this nation, and many of them have two parent family homes.
00:18:04.000 Why?
00:18:05.000 It's because of the culture that they are pushing on their children.
00:18:10.000 They preach education.
00:18:12.000 They focus on education.
00:18:14.000 Education, education, education.
00:18:16.000 They teach them to be CEOs and entrepreneurs and to own their business.
00:18:20.000 And when you do that, you strengthen the family.
00:18:24.000 But when dad is out of his place, we can't put the blame on white people.
00:18:30.000 Black fathers need to take responsibility for their litter, for their children, for the children that they have produced and stand in their rightful place. 0.89
00:18:40.000 You know, Kamala Harris said that she was going to astronomically reduce black poverty by providing a $400 check. 1.00
00:18:49.000 I immediately said that I'm so glad that my wife and my children don't need the government to give them $400 because my family has a father and a daddy.
00:19:04.000 But so many have made a God out of government.
00:19:11.000 And that is the issue.
00:19:12.000 So talk about when that changed, because in the 1940s and 1950s, America was definitely more racist than it is today.
00:19:21.000 I'm not saying it was a racist country, but there was definitely more of the feelings of resentment and prejudice.
00:19:27.000 For example, the Major League Baseball didn't yet break the color barrier until the 40s or 50s.
00:19:32.000 And despite that, though, black families were actually more intact.
00:19:36.000 Now we have 25% or so.
00:19:38.000 You know the numbers depending on the year.
00:19:40.000 Walk us through that.
00:19:41.000 So from the early 1900s all the way up until about 1968, which represents the death of MLK, the black marriage rate rivaled that of whites. 0.74
00:19:51.000 We did better under Jim Crow laws than we are doing in 2022. 0.97
00:19:56.000 And here's the issue.
00:19:59.000 When you had monumental leaders like Dr. King, who was speaking truth to power and causing black men and women to rise up, you know, they killed him. 0.94
00:20:09.000 All right.
00:20:09.000 We're still trying to figure out who did it, but we believe it possibly it was the government involved.
00:20:15.000 But after the death of MLK, Lyndon B. Johnson comes in with a new deal, which was really a sour deal for black America. 0.84
00:20:24.000 They replaced the black father with government cheese. 0.89
00:20:30.000 They provided a handout, a check.
00:20:34.000 You know, and there are some people who need welfare support.
00:20:38.000 But welfare was never intended to be a hammock.
00:20:43.000 It was intended to be a safety net.
00:20:46.000 And many people have remained in a hammock for too long.
00:20:51.000 They're comfortable in the government's lazy boy hammock.
00:20:55.000 So they won't work.
00:20:56.000 And you see generations of parents who are not working.
00:20:59.000 They're living off the government.
00:21:01.000 And that destroys the family.
00:21:03.000 So when you push dad out of the home, the patriarch is no longer there.
00:21:09.000 And when you lose the patriarch, the family dies.
00:21:12.000 And that is the issue.
00:21:14.000 Black men represent 5% of the overall population in this nation.
00:21:19.000 Black women represent 8%. 0.99
00:21:22.000 What does that mean?
00:21:23.000 A lot of our women may not get married. 1.00
00:21:26.000 And while the NAACP is pushing more abortion and more support towards the left, we are decimating the black community. 0.55
00:21:37.000 So, yeah, talk about that.
00:21:38.000 Talk about the statistics.
00:21:39.000 You have the NAACP, which says they stand for black progress and against institutional prejudice and all this.
00:21:47.000 But the glaring truth is that the most dangerous place for a black person in America is in the womb. 1.00
00:21:53.000 Right. 0.99
00:21:53.000 Life of all. 0.99
00:21:55.000 Why is it that we are not seeing a celebration from black America that Roe v. Wade might be repealed in a couple weeks?
00:22:02.000 Instead, we're seeing mass amount of public interest groups do the exact opposite.
00:22:06.000 True.
00:22:06.000 Well, I can speak for the church that I'm at.
00:22:09.000 We celebrated.
00:22:10.000 Our church in 2011, we had a fatherhood initiative, and we led hundreds of our members out to the local abortion clinic.
00:22:20.000 We have been working there.
00:22:21.000 It's an abortion clinic called A Women's Choice of Raleigh.
00:22:24.000 And we've been able to win over 2,000 babies over the past 12 years.
00:22:29.000 A big hand clap goes there.
00:22:33.000 And so there's a movement afoot.
00:22:35.000 There are a group of people who are rising up to push against these issues.
00:22:40.000 But the NAACP, about nine years ago, they got into a jam.
00:22:48.000 They were in the red and they needed financial support.
00:22:53.000 They changed their initiative and they started supporting the LGBTQ community.
00:23:00.000 Overnight, they went from being in the red to now being in the black.
00:23:06.000 And now they're more concerned about perversion than they are the true civil rights movement.
00:23:14.000 We gave away our civil rights movement to a group of people who did not choose their color. 0.98
00:23:23.000 You know, I didn't choose to be black.
00:23:24.000 You didn't choose to be white, but a person chooses to go after the same sex. 0.76
00:23:31.000 It is sad to liking the struggle of a person who has gender dysphoria to the plight of black Americans in America in the 1960s. 0.76
00:23:42.000 That's a travesty.
00:23:43.000 But guess what?
00:23:44.000 They're doing it and they did it with the help of the NAACP.
00:23:50.000 And so what you're beautifully articulating is the expansion of the civil rights regime, which is a righteous and noble cause in the 60s and 70s.
00:24:00.000 Yes.
00:24:01.000 It's now being expanded to use the force of government, the instrument of the state, to now to be able to punish people if you disagree with preferences on the gender dysphoria or you might have religious conscious objections.
00:24:15.000 And so this is a very important issue because there is a bill right now in front of Congress, not going to pass, thankfully, called HR 5.
00:24:24.000 And what they want to do is they want, they act as if it's so simple.
00:24:27.000 You talk to the bills, the kind of bill sponsors.
00:24:29.000 Oh, no, no, all it is is adding to the Civil Rights Act, LGBT and trans people to be able to get the same protections that were in the, you know, the 67, 68, or 60, yeah, Civil Rights Act.
00:24:41.000 Why would that be such a terrible idea?
00:24:45.000 It would set minorities back. 1.00
00:24:47.000 We don't want to go backwards.
00:24:50.000 I want to go forward.
00:24:52.000 America is not a perfect nation or a perfect country, but you don't see people trying to leave America by the drobes. 0.56
00:24:59.000 You see people fighting to get into this promised land, this great country called America, who God has made great.
00:25:10.000 And so as you see that, there is a plan.
00:25:14.000 There is a scheme.
00:25:15.000 How do we keep blacks marginalized? 0.99
00:25:20.000 Keep them angry. 0.98
00:25:23.000 Keep emotional tactics before them.
00:25:26.000 Keep them in the past so they can't go forward.
00:25:30.000 And it has worked to our own demise.
00:25:35.000 So something that is emphasis on college campuses in the media is this issue of police brutality.
00:25:42.000 Do you think that is a top 10, top 20 issue facing the black community?
00:25:47.000 Because it gets all the attention.
00:25:48.000 Sure.
00:25:50.000 I don't think that it is.
00:25:51.000 You know, I believe that we have good cops and I believe that there are some bad cops.
00:25:57.000 We should address the bad cops and get on with allowing the cops who are black, white, Hispanic to defend our neighborhoods and protect us and keep us away from criminals and thugs. 0.94
00:26:11.000 You know, oftentimes when a person says thug, they think of someone who is black. 0.98
00:26:16.000 But that's not true.
00:26:17.000 There are thugs in all people groups.
00:26:20.000 Right? 0.98
00:26:21.000 What we saw happen during the summer of 2020, we saw white thugs. 0.99
00:26:26.000 We saw Asian thugs. 1.00
00:26:27.000 We saw Pacific Islander thugs. 1.00
00:26:29.000 We saw Hispanic thugs, transgender thugs, all kinds of thugs looting and robbing stores, burning down the CVS pharmacy stores in your own community. 0.99
00:26:45.000 These things, as governors and mayors who were Democrats stood back and allowed anarchists to rule the night. 0.99
00:26:55.000 It's a travesty.
00:26:57.000 And that is a blot upon us that we would probably never get rid of.
00:27:01.000 We would rather talk about an insurrection, something that took place for a few hours, right?
00:27:08.000 Which was a setup in and of itself.
00:27:09.000 We would rather talk about that than to talk about the summer of 2020.
00:27:14.000 Listen, don't talk to me about January 6th.
00:27:17.000 I want to hear about this, what truly happened in the summer of 2020 as we allowed BLM, All of the George Soros people and Antifa, as we allow them to rule our neighborhoods and to burn down businesses with the support of the government.
00:27:38.000 And we've seen violent crime skyrocket.
00:27:41.000 As we have our war on police, which has just continued, unfortunately, we have seen every one of the kind of promises of a stable society.
00:27:50.000 And what should really concern all of us is that we've seen violent crime go up back when the economy was relatively okay.
00:27:58.000 What we're about to see is, I believe, an economic catastrophe.
00:28:03.000 I think it's a slow-motion car wreck.
00:28:04.000 I don't wish it upon anybody.
00:28:06.000 Unlike the left, I hope that I'm wrong.
00:28:08.000 I hope that we have an economic renaissance, but I also believe in the laws of gravity, and you do too.
00:28:13.000 And I think we're now experiencing the downfall of a $7 trillion sugar high brought to us by politicians that never think beyond 90 seconds ahead of the next headline from the New York Times, The Washington Post.
00:28:25.000 And violent crime, unfortunately, goes up.
00:28:28.000 Every time the unemployment rate goes up, you're going to see violent crime, looting, and all these other things go alongside of it.
00:28:34.000 So can you talk about the overracialization of American politics?
00:28:38.000 Do you think white guilt is a very real thing is when it comes to American political dynamics?
00:28:44.000 I'm not white.
00:28:46.000 Do you think, all right, I could tell you white guilt is this, but I'll say this.
00:28:50.000 The power of white guilt.
00:28:52.000 Let me rephrase it. 0.96
00:28:54.000 You see like white liberals trying to overcompensate, saying that I'm going to come and kind of be the savior of black people. 0.91
00:29:00.000 No, you're so right. 0.84
00:29:01.000 And I said that intentionally.
00:29:03.000 I am white.
00:29:04.000 That is true.
00:29:06.000 Now, I don't have, I have several white friends, all right?
00:29:10.000 But I don't have any white friends who suffer from white guilt. 0.86
00:29:19.000 If you suffer from white guilt, you can't be my friend. 0.99
00:29:22.000 I'm going to delete your phone number from my phone. 0.99
00:29:25.000 We can't hang out.
00:29:26.000 Because here's the issue. 0.99
00:29:28.000 If you suffer from white guilt, then I must suffer from black shame. 0.95
00:29:35.000 What God did when he made me a black man in the greatest country ever was dynamic. 0.96
00:29:42.000 I'm black and I'm proud.
00:29:47.000 And you should be able to say that you're white and you're proud and me not get angry.
00:29:53.000 If I said that, there's a lot of problems here tonight.
00:29:56.000 Charlie, just say it tonight.
00:29:57.000 You're white and proud.
00:29:58.000 I'm not saying it.
00:29:59.000 Listen.
00:30:00.000 Nope.
00:30:02.000 Nope.
00:30:04.000 Listen.
00:30:06.000 But you should have a right to.
00:30:12.000 Let's give Charlie Kirk a big hand.
00:30:15.000 Come on, make some noise for him.
00:30:18.000 10 years running.
00:30:23.000 But you know, I don't like that ideology, white guilt.
00:30:29.000 I'm not a beggar.
00:30:32.000 I take care of my family.
00:30:34.000 I work hard.
00:30:36.000 I labor.
00:30:37.000 I toil for the Amon Chukwu family. 0.56
00:30:41.000 My children knows what it means to be an Amanchukwu. 0.99
00:30:44.000 My father came to this country in the 1970s.
00:30:48.000 That's where I get the last name.
00:30:49.000 It's Ibo.
00:30:50.000 It's from Nigeria.
00:30:51.000 My last name means I know God.
00:30:57.000 And without God, I would be nothing.
00:31:03.000 I'm not trying to imitate anyone.
00:31:06.000 I'm not jealous or envious of your lot in life.
00:31:11.000 I'm trying to build for the Amon Chukwu family. 0.99
00:31:15.000 I'm trying to support my family and take care of my responsibilities because I have a burden upon me.
00:31:24.000 It's that beautiful black woman right there. 1.00
00:31:29.000 And my three beautiful black chocolate-colored skinned children.
00:31:34.000 And we have a tan that you keep in the winter.
00:31:37.000 And I am not ashamed of that at all.
00:31:42.000 And so, in closing here, before we do some questions and some back and forth, something that bothers me, and this is not a race thing by any measure, meaning that it's not just pertaining to one group, is that I think we have become accepting of men impregnating women and abandoning them.
00:31:59.000 I think that we have to be harsher towards men that are cowards and that abandon.
00:32:04.000 Talk just as a man about how we as Christians and the church need to hold men to a higher standard and higher account, not to flee women when they're in the time where they need nurturing and support the most.
00:32:15.000 Well, you know, oftentimes, if the father will remain in the life of the mother who's pregnant, nearly 85% of the time, the mother will keep the baby.
00:32:25.000 Wow.
00:32:25.000 Right?
00:32:25.000 But when the father abandons that woman, the woman chooses, you know, hey, do I have the child or do I abort the child?
00:32:32.000 You know, now more than ever, we should be compelling men to stand in their rightful place.
00:32:39.000 Matt Walsh just did a documentary entitled, What is a Woman?
00:32:43.000 It's one of the great films, I'm telling you.
00:32:46.000 It's excellent.
00:32:47.000 I'm trying to get Matt here.
00:32:48.000 It's a project.
00:32:50.000 You know, what is a woman? 1.00
00:32:51.000 The question is also, what is a man?
00:32:54.000 You know, that's right.
00:32:55.000 Because today, you know, they're blurred lines.
00:32:58.000 You know, we have this notion today that just because a person has a large stomach and they're a male that they can have a baby.
00:33:05.000 You know, we're confusing a beer gut with a person that's pregnant. 1.00
00:33:10.000 Men can't have babies. 0.99
00:33:12.000 Can I say it again? 0.91
00:33:13.000 Men can't have babies. 0.99
00:33:19.000 In order to have a child, you got to go to Genesis 5 and 2.
00:33:23.000 God created them male and female.
00:33:26.000 You could put 10,000 women in one room. 1.00
00:33:30.000 You're not going to germinate or grow anything in that room.
00:33:32.000 You could put 10,000 men in one room and you're not going to produce a child.
00:33:36.000 But it's when you do it God's way.
00:33:38.000 You know, God's way is clean.
00:33:41.000 God's way is safe.
00:33:43.000 And God's way works every time.
00:33:47.000 Amen.
00:33:48.000 So let's begin to line up for some questions here.
00:33:51.000 I'd love to get to as many as we can.
00:33:54.000 There's some people here that haven't yet given their life to the Lord.
00:33:57.000 Put on the pastor hat.
00:33:58.000 Give the, why should they care?
00:34:01.000 There's God that that's out there that loves them.
00:34:04.000 Tell us from your perspective.
00:34:05.000 What do they need to hear tonight?
00:34:07.000 Sure.
00:34:07.000 Well, there is a God that loves you, who wants to be in fellowship with you.
00:34:13.000 There is a God who is an intelligent designer and architect that created you.
00:34:20.000 Every manufacturer, manufacturer puts a patent on his product.
00:34:25.000 That's his stamp of approval that he owns that product, right?
00:34:29.000 God has placed in us a God-shaped vacuum.
00:34:34.000 It's a place in our heart that only God can feel and consume.
00:34:40.000 And life won't be right until you find the God of the Bible. 0.53
00:34:45.000 And that's when you will find hope and an answer for your true meaning, calling, and existence.
00:34:52.000 Amen.
00:34:52.000 So beautiful.
00:34:53.000 Yes.
00:34:54.000 All right, let's get to some questions right here.
00:34:57.000 Hi there.
00:34:58.000 So, first of all, as an African-American, I've got my white privilege card right here.
00:35:02.000 So I'm all good, you know.
00:35:05.000 But for real, I'm wondering, as an African-American just about to graduate from college, where can I be plugging myself in that I would be able to influence the most people?
00:35:16.000 Because, like, as an African-American, you got more of a voice now in America.
00:35:19.000 Where can you be plugging yourself into these programs to really have a voice that's going to speak out and reach people, especially those who are confused and think that black people are suffering in ways that they're obviously not?
00:35:31.000 Got it.
00:35:31.000 So you're getting ready to graduate, right?
00:35:34.000 All right.
00:35:34.000 How old are you?
00:35:35.000 21.
00:35:36.000 21.
00:35:37.000 Do you have a girlfriend?
00:35:38.000 No.
00:35:39.000 All right.
00:35:40.000 All right.
00:35:41.000 I got married at the age of 23.
00:35:43.000 It was the best decision I ever made.
00:35:45.000 If you want to change the tide in this country, you're doing well.
00:35:50.000 You're getting ready to graduate.
00:35:52.000 You're getting ready to get a job.
00:35:53.000 Get married.
00:35:55.000 Have children.
00:35:57.000 Replenish your community.
00:35:58.000 Be the example that's pushing the right stuff.
00:36:03.000 Go to your local abortion clinic.
00:36:05.000 Get involved with youth camps and activities.
00:36:07.000 Get involved with Turning Point USA.
00:36:12.000 Volunteer at the new school that they're getting ready to create and you'll see God cause you to flourish.
00:36:18.000 Thank you.
00:36:18.000 Get married.
00:36:19.000 God bless you.
00:36:20.000 Yeah.
00:36:21.000 We'll go over here.
00:36:23.000 Hi, Charlie.
00:36:24.000 It's Kayla from CCU again.
00:36:26.000 But I wrote this out on my phone because I'm nervous.
00:36:29.000 So I'm going to read it.
00:36:30.000 The public school system is failing America.
00:36:33.000 And with indoctrination and even a federally mandated sexual education curriculum, it's only getting worse.
00:36:39.000 For parents who cannot afford to send their children to Christian schools or do not have the time or qualifications to homeschool.
00:36:45.000 What other choices are there?
00:36:48.000 What is your practical opinion on educational reform?
00:36:51.000 What can we as Christian conservatives advocate for, debate over, and push for in our local and state governments?
00:36:58.000 Yeah, I would encourage you to take a look at Dream City.
00:37:01.000 It might be able to make it work.
00:37:03.000 There are scholarships potentially available.
00:37:05.000 No guarantees, obviously, but it's something that, and the table outside, go to the table outside.
00:37:11.000 And so just, you know, we'll try to make it work the best we can, obviously.
00:37:16.000 But look, that's one of the reasons why we want to do what we're doing.
00:37:20.000 But look, I hear you.
00:37:22.000 It's all about if you're not able to send your kid to private school and government schools is the answer and you can't homeschool, you know, at some point, you're going to have to make a very serious sacrifice to make sure your kid isn't going to be kind of captured by the government school.
00:37:37.000 And just something to think about and pray about.
00:37:39.000 I was so moved the other day where a mom came up to me and she said, Charlie, she said, you know, we have barely, we haven't taken a vacation in 10 years.
00:37:48.000 She said, you know, we make $51,000 a year as a combined family, right?
00:37:54.000 I homeschool.
00:37:56.000 My husband's a carpenter.
00:37:58.000 But we made a decision that we are not going to send our kids to the government schools.
00:38:03.000 And my kids love the Lord.
00:38:04.000 They know history.
00:38:06.000 They're committed patriots.
00:38:07.000 They're ready to start their own businesses.
00:38:09.000 And she said, you know, this is the greatest decision we ever made.
00:38:13.000 I was so moved.
00:38:14.000 And what she was articulating, and everybody's different, is this amazing example of delayed gratification.
00:38:22.000 And delayed gratification is what built the West.
00:38:25.000 Delayed gratification is a Christian biblical principle, by the way, which is that you're not just going to please yourself in the immediate, that you're going to store up the harvest for maybe the more difficult days to come.
00:38:35.000 And what she articulated to me that just blew me away is that she was willing to have a decade without a vacation, never going out for a movie.
00:38:43.000 They ate out a restaurant once a year, all because she said she just wanted to be able to homeschool her kids.
00:38:49.000 Otherwise, she could send them to government schools and she could go work at a local place and she could increase their wage. 0.78
00:38:54.000 They could live a nicer lifestyle.
00:38:56.000 But her closing comment to me was she said, Charlie, you need to challenge parents to live with less so their kids can live free.
00:39:06.000 Thank you so much.
00:39:07.000 Maman, keep getting taller. 1.00
00:39:13.000 Micah, I just wanted to ask the question about gas prices because I know this.
00:39:21.000 You never know where he's going to go.
00:39:24.000 I know.
00:39:25.000 Yes.
00:39:25.000 I know this one guy, he quit his job because he couldn't afford to even drive to work.
00:39:32.000 The gas prices were higher than his pay.
00:39:35.000 So I was wondering if we could do anything to help lower them.
00:39:41.000 I'm doing my best.
00:39:43.000 But I will say this.
00:39:44.000 So I'd love your thoughts, John, on this.
00:39:47.000 What I believe we're living through is an intentional destruction of people's freedom, mobility to travel.
00:39:54.000 I believe that we are living through a state-sponsored obliteration of your autonomy via your fossil-fueled car.
00:40:02.000 Something we take for granted is when you have cars and cheap gas, you're actually freer.
00:40:10.000 When you are not thinking daily, hourly, about how much it costs to fill up your mode of transportation, then you're actually able to see more friends, go to church easier.
00:40:21.000 Now you have to make sacrifices.
00:40:23.000 We get it.
00:40:23.000 We're living through it.
00:40:24.000 But it's so extraordinary.
00:40:26.000 I believe they're trying to get us towards an inevitable, almost mandated electrical vehicle situation where I believe that almost that opens the door for increased government tyranny.
00:40:39.000 Who controls the charging stations?
00:40:41.000 They could turn off the electrical grid.
00:40:43.000 Where obviously that's all conceivable if you have oil, gasoline, petroleum, but it would be a lot harder to do, in my personal opinion, than to the electrical vehicle situation.
00:40:55.000 So what can we do about it?
00:40:56.000 Man, we need new leadership.
00:40:58.000 Oh my gosh, it's just so frustrating.
00:41:00.000 And I'll just say one other thing on this, though.
00:41:04.000 I'm sure you share my irritation and my frustration is that we are doing this to ourselves.
00:41:10.000 It's not Putin's price hike.
00:41:12.000 It's none of that nonsense.
00:41:14.000 There is a deliberate agenda to make you poorer and to make it harder and more expensive for you to be able to drive.
00:41:21.000 And that should drive you mad.
00:41:23.000 You know, I don't think that we have a gas price problem in this country.
00:41:28.000 I don't think we have an inflation problem.
00:41:31.000 I think that we have a sin problem.
00:41:34.000 America is in famine.
00:41:37.000 In 2 Samuel chapter 21, a famine broke out in Israel because Saul killed the Gibeonites.
00:41:48.000 God visits that sin during the reign of David.
00:41:54.000 Saul had been dead for 30 years.
00:41:57.000 God visits that sin upon the reign of David and sends a famine for three years.
00:42:04.000 The first year, David said, okay, something strange.
00:42:08.000 The cattle are dying and there's no rain.
00:42:11.000 Second year, same problem.
00:42:12.000 By the third year, he said, okay, it's time to get up and go to Jerusalem.
00:42:16.000 When he goes to Jerusalem, God reveals to him and shows him the issue that the blood of the Gibeonites, who were sinful people, who were tricksters, who found a creative way to be amalgamated unto Israel. 0.99
00:42:31.000 God showed him that Saul had killed them.
00:42:34.000 In America, we've been in a pandemic, a famine for the past three years.
00:42:40.000 Right?
00:42:41.000 And we're in a famine because of the shedding of innocent blood.
00:42:46.000 And this famine will not be removed upon this land until we get rid of baby sacrifices. 0.99
00:42:56.000 Righteousness exalts a nation.
00:43:00.000 You want to make a nation great again?
00:43:02.000 Get righteous.
00:43:04.000 The greatest economic development plan for a nation is great when you have low taxes, right?
00:43:11.000 That works.
00:43:12.000 Obedience to God is number one.
00:43:15.000 If you want to get the favor of a nation and to bring the economy back to where it should be, put God in his rightful place.
00:43:22.000 Amen.
00:43:23.000 Thank you, my friend.
00:43:24.000 Yeah.
00:43:25.000 Next question.
00:43:27.000 Yes.
00:43:28.000 Hi.
00:43:30.000 So I'm a canvasser for the Susan B. Anthony list.
00:43:33.000 And I had somebody ask me a question, or not ask, but when I was canvassing, he said that women need to have the right to abortion to preserve their own autonomy.
00:43:53.000 Did not deny that the baby is a human, knew the baby was human, this guy.
00:44:00.000 And so I just, I don't know what to say to that. 0.65
00:44:04.000 If your mind is so incredibly twisted and depraved that you just, you don't even care that it's human. 1.00
00:44:11.000 Like it just, if you got to kill it, then you got to kill it. 1.00
00:44:16.000 I just, I don't know what to say to that. 1.00
00:44:18.000 So.
00:44:19.000 Yeah.
00:44:19.000 Well, here's the thing.
00:44:21.000 There's some people whose minds are so warped that they're past receiving the truth.
00:44:28.000 All right.
00:44:28.000 The Bible speaks of a person having a conscience that has been seared with a hot iron.
00:44:35.000 Have you ever ironed your clothes before?
00:44:37.000 Maybe a black pair of pants and you left the iron on the ironing board for too long and it seared the pants.
00:44:44.000 Whenever you sear a pair of pants, the pants are no longer useful.
00:44:49.000 And it's just like a person's mind.
00:44:51.000 They will hear the truth, but they won't receive the truth.
00:44:55.000 It's similar to Lowell's syndrome.
00:45:00.000 There was a famous astronomer by the name of Sir Percival Lowell who believed that there was human life on planet Mars.
00:45:06.000 He believed it so much that all of his comrades believed the same thing.
00:45:10.000 Over the process of time, as they diversified technology, they came to find out that Sir Percival Lowell was wrong.
00:45:19.000 And they came up with two reasons.
00:45:20.000 Number one, Sir Percival Lowell saw life on planet Mars simply because he wanted to see life on Mars.
00:45:28.000 He saw it his way because he wanted to have his way.
00:45:34.000 The other reason why he thought that there was life on planet Mars is because as he looked through his telescope, he saw his own blood vessels.
00:45:45.000 Oftentimes a person does not want to receive what is right and what's truthful because they're so bent on seeing things their own way.
00:45:54.000 But our job as Christian believers is to continue to witness to those issues, individuals, to pray for them and to compel them and to win them with the truth.
00:46:07.000 That's all we can do.
00:46:12.000 Not your DNA, not your choice.
00:46:15.000 It's a good one-liner.
00:46:16.000 There you go.
00:46:18.000 Okay.
00:46:19.000 Hi, I'm Heather Rooks.
00:46:21.000 I'm a Peoria Imam here with my son tonight, Connor.
00:46:26.000 And I had a question regarding, we've been going to school board meetings for the past two years in Peoria Unified and a big group of parents.
00:46:36.000 And we've got this organization right now called Bloom 365 going on in a lot of the school districts in Arizona.
00:46:44.000 And I wanted to point on it because you talked about what is a man.
00:46:48.000 And in this organization, they disguise it as something else where they basically paint boys and men as all bad abusers.
00:46:59.000 And that if they're the provider of the home, that's a stereotype.
00:47:04.000 So I guess we're having trouble.
00:47:06.000 How do we get these organizations out of our schools besides running for school board?
00:47:11.000 I'm already doing that this coming November, so I'm gonna get on there and get it out.
00:47:15.000 But I just wanna help, I just want parents in the community if they're having these situations where we've got these big organizations or these big companies in our schools.
00:47:25.000 How do we get them out of our schools?
00:47:28.000 Right.
00:47:28.000 And you're speaking about our public schools, correct?
00:47:30.000 Yeah, correct.
00:47:31.000 You know, when Madeline O'Hara fought to remove prayer from school, they had to replace prayer with something. 1.00
00:47:40.000 They brought in metal detectors, they brought in cops, they brought in dogs, and they brought in all kinds of things.
00:47:48.000 Here's the reality: when a place has told God that he's not welcome, that place becomes cursed.
00:48:00.000 It's kind of hard for us to expect to have children receive our viewpoints and ideologies in a school system that's postmodern, in a school system that pushes socialism and Marxist ideologies.
00:48:18.000 The best thing for us to do when we see that taking place is to find Turning Point School, find Dream City School, find a charter school that's not pushing those woke ideologies.
00:48:32.000 Homeschool.
00:48:33.000 You have to find methods like that because the reality is this.
00:48:37.000 Wokeism is not going away.
00:48:40.000 It's going to continue to increase and increase.
00:48:44.000 But we have to find alternative ways to teach our children and to train them in our philosophies and ideologies.
00:48:53.000 If you send your child to Rome, don't be surprised that he comes back as a Roman. 1.00
00:48:58.000 All right?
00:48:59.000 That's what we have to focus on.
00:49:00.000 Yeah, and you're fighting a righteous fight, but you just got to know going in that the odds of removing that stuff is very low.
00:49:07.000 But don't be afraid to use their emotionally charged language against them, right?
00:49:11.000 That your child is feeling unsafe because of this, that your child might be marginalized.
00:49:18.000 We have to start using their tactics against them unapologetically, and they don't even know how to handle that.
00:49:24.000 So it's easier said than done.
00:49:26.000 You have to kind of have a realistic way forward.
00:49:29.000 But I do not think we should, in any way, shape, or form retreat from trying to care about our public schools.
00:49:36.000 There are fellow citizens and our fellow countrymen that need us.
00:49:39.000 You might be able to get your kids out, but those are future voters.
00:49:43.000 Those are future leaders, and we still need to be able to influence them.
00:49:43.000 I agree.
00:49:46.000 God bless you.
00:49:47.000 Thank you.
00:49:52.000 Hi, I'm Braylon.
00:49:53.000 I'm the president of the Turning Point USA chapter at Liberty High School.
00:49:58.000 Awesome.
00:49:59.000 I am Danielle.
00:50:00.000 I'm the vice president.
00:50:02.000 And last school year, we ran into a lot of issues not being able to have meetings due to people thinking that our club was racist and that we had a lot of racist point of view.
00:50:16.000 And it ran into us not being able to have any meetings at all the whole school year.
00:50:22.000 And our teacher rep was so scared that he wouldn't let us have any meetings at all.
00:50:29.000 Wow.
00:50:30.000 And we did donuts, Red Bull-like stuff fun to bring people in.
00:50:34.000 And he was against that because he didn't want to bring too many people in that weren't there for the right reasons.
00:50:42.000 So we just want to know we would love to continue it next school year, but we have a lot of issues with not having meetings.
00:50:50.000 So we want to know how we can avoid that.
00:50:53.000 What school again?
00:50:54.000 Liberty High School.
00:50:57.000 Is that a public school?
00:50:57.000 In Peoria?
00:50:59.000 It's a public school.
00:51:00.000 Okay, so John, can you help with this, though?
00:51:02.000 This is important for these young ladies.
00:51:04.000 By the way, give it up for them running a Turning Point USA chapter.
00:51:06.000 How great is that?
00:51:09.000 Is this something that maybe you're just going to tell us to get over it or snap out of it?
00:51:14.000 But this is an important point, though, which is a lot of young conservatives or conservatives all ages kind of get in a place of paralysis as soon as they're called a racist, regardless of the lack of accusation.
00:51:27.000 And so many times people say, Charlie, turning points racist.
00:51:30.000 Why?
00:51:30.000 I don't know.
00:51:31.000 I read it online.
00:51:32.000 It's like, oh, so you're going to call me the worst thing you could call somebody with zero evidence supporting it.
00:51:36.000 What's your advice to young people or all people?
00:51:38.000 How do you deal with that when someone calls you the R-word?
00:51:41.000 Yeah.
00:51:42.000 Well, I've never been called racist myself.
00:51:46.000 And I'm not racist, right?
00:51:50.000 And I don't tolerate racist talk around me.
00:51:54.000 You know, it all starts there.
00:51:56.000 Racism, by and large, is something that is taught, right?
00:52:01.000 If you live in a home where parents are pushing those ideologies, it's going to creep into the hearts and the minds of the children.
00:52:08.000 But if you all are out there trying to do a noble work for a noble cause, let those labels roll off of you like water down a duck's back, right?
00:52:17.000 Don't allow those things to paralyze you or cripple you from the work that you're doing.
00:52:23.000 The left, those who are awoke, are always going to label you, right? 0.98
00:52:28.000 So you have to become accustomed with being labeled, okay?
00:52:33.000 But continue the work that you are doing because they want to throw you off.
00:52:39.000 And if they can stop you with the R word, then you won't go forward.
00:52:46.000 Keep fighting, keep standing, and know why you're doing what you're doing and continue to love everyone.
00:52:53.000 Let me add one more thing, which is kind of what do I do?
00:52:55.000 You got to be relentless.
00:52:57.000 Right.
00:52:57.000 And so life is a series of questions you ask yourself.
00:53:01.000 So you can ask yourself the question: why is this so hard?
00:53:05.000 You know, why me?
00:53:06.000 Or you could say, what is great about this problem?
00:53:08.000 What am I going to learn from this?
00:53:10.000 How am I going to enjoy the process?
00:53:11.000 What am I willing to do?
00:53:13.000 These are questions you can ask yourself about that.
00:53:15.000 Say, so what would possibly be great about a problem of being called a racist and a teacher not wanting to associate with you?
00:53:23.000 Well, you got to be more creative, right?
00:53:25.000 You could put the teachers on defense and say, will anybody possibly associate with our club?
00:53:30.000 Now, here's the other thing, though.
00:53:32.000 You're at high school, 17, 18, 16, 17, 18, right?
00:53:36.000 You're going to be tougher and stronger and a better leader in life because you have to deal with the nonsense of being stereotyped and called names where all of your peers get everything easy.
00:53:46.000 You are now being put in a situation that will make you a tougher leader for the rest of your life.
00:53:51.000 That's what's awesome about that kind of a problem, right?
00:53:53.000 And so no easy way, but parents in the local area are going to help you, right?
00:53:58.000 See those hands right there? 0.98
00:53:59.000 They're ready to help you.
00:54:00.000 That's the beauty of Freedom Night in America.
00:54:03.000 And finally, you have the backing of the largest conservative organization in America, Turning Point USA.
00:54:09.000 We're not going to let them win.
00:54:10.000 We're going to make sure that you guys are able to get the club, get the approval, and not be called those terrible names.
00:54:16.000 God bless you.
00:54:16.000 We love our high school chapters.
00:54:18.000 We love it.
00:54:18.000 Thanks for being here.
00:54:23.000 What's up, guys?
00:54:24.000 They kind of took my question in a way.
00:54:28.000 But my name is Blake Seebeck.
00:54:31.000 The question I have for you guys is to with now that the way that technology is going and the now, for us parents, what is a great way example to teach patience among our youth?
00:54:53.000 And you draw, it's interesting that you drew a correlation between technology and patience.
00:55:00.000 You know, it leads me to focus on another question, which is also at what age should we open the world of the internet up to our children.
00:55:11.000 Right.
00:55:11.000 I think many parents are damaging their children by giving a eight-year-old full access to the world with a full battery and the best Wi-Fi around for them to scroll and to search and to find things and to get trapped into pornographic material and all kinds of evil and secret chats and things of that nature.
00:55:38.000 You know, you think they have one Facebook account or sorry, you think they have one TikTok or Snapchat account, but they really have two.
00:55:47.000 You know, one is their name, the other one is Hot Girl69, you know. 0.99
00:55:52.000 And so you go and you search their material and you find out that your child is getting over on you and they're becoming an individual that you don't recognize.
00:56:02.000 I think first and foremost, we need to put some clamps on the tech technology.
00:56:08.000 Come on, clap your hands, parents.
00:56:10.000 We need to put some clamps on Netflix.
00:56:14.000 We shouldn't just give them free access to these things where they can go and scroll and search for hour after hour after hour.
00:56:23.000 As it relates to patience, the reality is this.
00:56:26.000 They're going to learn patience.
00:56:28.000 Let them keep living.
00:56:30.000 Let them keep existing.
00:56:32.000 Put the right stuff in them.
00:56:34.000 And reality is going to teach them this thing called patience.
00:56:38.000 The Bible says to be careful, to be patient for nothing, to be impatient for nothing or anxious for nothing, right?
00:56:46.000 Anxiety rules today.
00:56:48.000 People want things now.
00:56:50.000 And that's typically because oftentimes parents give our children too much too soon.
00:56:55.000 Sometimes you got to withhold some things to train them and to develop them and to build them up the right way.
00:57:04.000 And I'll add, I don't, this is an unpopular opinion.
00:57:07.000 I don't think kids should get smartphones till they're 18 years old.
00:57:11.000 It's my personal opinion.
00:57:12.000 I know that's unpopular, but let me give you a middle ground solution.
00:57:17.000 We've partnered on our podcast and our radio show with a company called Canopy.
00:57:21.000 Canopy is a phenomenal program.
00:57:24.000 It is the best technology I've come across.
00:57:26.000 It's similar to Covenant Eyes.
00:57:28.000 I'm a big believer in these sort of technologies, but Canopy is the best because it actually takes over the whole phone.
00:57:34.000 It's secure, end-to-end encryption.
00:57:36.000 And so it will, if you have an 11, 12, or 13-year-old, either accidentally or intentionally, the studies show they will come across pornography, both females and males.
00:57:46.000 Not if you have this application.
00:57:48.000 We've partnered with them.
00:57:49.000 It's canopy.us slash protect.
00:57:52.000 You guys get a promo code, protect the innocence of your children.
00:57:55.000 They're one of our biggest sponsors on our radio show or podcast.
00:57:57.000 I plug them every single day.
00:57:59.000 I'll say that again slowly for you guys.
00:58:01.000 It's canopy.us slash protect.
00:58:07.000 And it is the best technology.
00:58:08.000 It scans the whole device.
00:58:10.000 It's 99.9% accurate.
00:58:12.000 I tried it out myself and I was blown away by how quickly they were able to, even like, for example, I went to foxnews.com, which has awfully suggestive web ads, if you've ever seen it, and it blurred it all out, right?
00:58:24.000 It was like, wow, it's amazing.
00:58:25.000 So it works super quickly.
00:58:27.000 And I'm a big fan of that technology.
00:58:29.000 So that might be one way just to kind of reinforce that.
00:58:31.000 If you're like, hey, my 12-year-old needs an iPhone, that's fine.
00:58:36.000 I didn't get my first smartphone until I was 20 years old.
00:58:39.000 And that was an awesome existence.
00:58:40.000 You know, when I was 13 years old, we used to go outside to play, be home by dark.
00:58:44.000 Awesome.
00:58:45.000 I miss that country, don't you?
00:58:47.000 But I know that is unrealistic.
00:58:50.000 So there's a good technology middle ground for that, I think.
00:58:52.000 God bless you.
00:58:53.000 Okay, we'll take two more.
00:58:55.000 Yes.
00:58:56.000 Hi, I'm Serene, and I apologize.
00:58:58.000 I'm 17 and already have a phone.
00:59:03.000 The canopy.
00:59:05.000 So recently I posted on my Instagram story, why do we say to pray for our schools and yet prayer isn't allowed inside the school?
00:59:14.000 And I got a response saying because of separation between church and state.
00:59:19.000 Plus, not everyone is a Christian.
00:59:21.000 So my question for you guys is how would you respond to that statement?
00:59:26.000 Yes, so you should respond, say, hey, interesting comment.
00:59:29.000 Can you dig up the clause or the amendment where separation of church and state is in the Constitution?
00:59:35.000 Just send it back to me.
00:59:37.000 It's nowhere.
00:59:38.000 It's a phrase that Thomas Jefferson used in a single letter to the Danbury Baptist Convention that is actually taken out of context.
00:59:44.000 It was resurrected by the atheist secular movement in the 1960s and 70s by the Warren Court and the Burger Court to remove prayer in schools.
00:59:52.000 The second thing you should send is send them the prayer that used to be in school.
00:59:56.000 It was not a Jewish prayer.
00:59:57.000 It was not a Christian prayer.
00:59:58.000 And I'm paraphrasing, but you can look it up.
01:00:00.000 It's very simple.
01:00:01.000 I thank God that I am here today, that I pray for my classmates and my country and for the well-being of others.
01:00:08.000 I'm paraphrasing.
01:00:10.000 It's a Unitarian prayer.
01:00:12.000 It was not a Christian prayer.
01:00:14.000 It wasn't a Muslim prayer.
01:00:15.000 It was a Unitarian prayer.
01:00:17.000 And it wasn't even mandatory.
01:00:18.000 In fact, what it was doing, it was trying to get students to take a pause and realize that there's a vertical relationship to their existence.
01:00:24.000 So you should ask a question.
01:00:26.000 Hey, just wondering, should we remove mentions to God in our founding documents too?
01:00:31.000 Because then they'll say, well, there is no mention of God.
01:00:33.000 Well, then, how would you say to ordain the blessings of liberty?
01:00:36.000 Who are we ordaining it to exactly?
01:00:38.000 Zeus?
01:00:39.000 How about the four mentions of God in the Declaration of Independence?
01:00:42.000 Laws of nature and nature is God.
01:00:45.000 We do swear this oath to each other and our creator.
01:00:50.000 And so we've been kind of hypnotized to believe in this lie of separation of church and state.
01:00:55.000 What it does say, but it's miscategorized, is that Congress shall make no law.
01:01:00.000 What are they talking about?
01:01:01.000 Make no law having an official state religion and also make no law abolishing religion or the church.
01:01:09.000 It's inverted the exact opposite.
01:01:11.000 So the final thing is say, hey, hold on a second, separation of church and state.
01:01:15.000 Where were you trying to make sure the state wasn't getting in the church during COVID? 0.81
01:01:19.000 Where were you trying to say that the state couldn't shut down the church with vaccine mandates, mask mandates, or lockdowns? 0.65
01:01:24.000 It's like all of a sudden you're super worried about separation of church and say, oh, no, no, no.
01:01:27.000 You want the state and the church, but you're worried that God might be mentioned in a state-run school.
01:01:32.000 Maybe you're running a state-run religion, not worried that people might actually have some sort of prayer in our schools.
01:01:39.000 That's how I would respond to that.
01:01:42.000 Thank you.
01:01:43.000 Okay, the last question.
01:01:46.000 So I've been doing a lot of forums recently with people running for state legislature, people running for different positions through North Valley and Republicans.
01:01:46.000 How's it going?
01:01:55.000 And I've asked this question about the housing market that has not yet been answered by anybody that I've asked.
01:02:00.000 I've asked the current treasurer, not during our panel, but a different panel.
01:02:06.000 And I've came across a statistic that before COVID, 8% of foreign investors owned land in Arizona.
01:02:15.000 That is now up to almost 30%.
01:02:17.000 Yep.
01:02:19.000 So the question that I asked was with BlackRock buying up tons of Arizona land and prices skyrocketing.
01:02:25.000 This has created a housing crisis all over the country.
01:02:27.000 Arizona is most definitely not an exception.
01:02:30.000 What would you do to combat this housing crisis to allow Arizonans to afford land?
01:02:34.000 Yeah, so this, I'll answer directly because I'm not a politician.
01:02:37.000 So, but I'm also going to propose something that might be, people say it's radical.
01:02:42.000 I don't think it's radical.
01:02:43.000 I don't want to live in a generation or a country where more people in my generation are renting than owning.
01:02:48.000 I think that's a bad thing.
01:02:49.000 I think renting creates citizens that don't actually have equity in the system around them.
01:02:54.000 When young people are renting, they're less likely to feel invested in their nation, care about property values, property taxes, where are property taxes going?
01:03:02.000 It's the tragedy of the commons.
01:03:03.000 I think homeownership is a moral good, and I think we should try to develop it and try to increase it.
01:03:09.000 We're seeing homeownership go down.
01:03:10.000 So I think the legislature in Arizona needs to realize one of the reasons why property values are being skyrocketing.
01:03:16.000 While some of you are probably getting unsolicited offers on your house, you're getting text messages and phone calls.
01:03:21.000 Why is that?
01:03:24.000 It's because major funds, both internationally and in New York, they don't know where to put their money and they're coming and buying your homes and renting them back to your children.
01:03:34.000 That's wrong.
01:03:36.000 Now, people say, well, Charlie, that's not very free market of you.
01:03:38.000 Hold on.
01:03:39.000 I love markets because they serve people.
01:03:41.000 When markets stop serving people, we need to all of a sudden, wait a second, say, that's not a good or an outcome that I'm willing to tolerate.
01:03:48.000 So if all of a sudden I have to say, wait, well, Charlie, you know, we got to tolerate markets.
01:03:52.000 Wait a second.
01:03:53.000 If I have, we have a bunch of ASU grads or U of A grads that can't even in the next 10 years conceivably afford a down payment in the home in Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, or Gilbert, then what's that going to do?
01:04:05.000 That's going to create cynical renters that are more likely to say the system is rigged against them.
01:04:09.000 So what I do, the Arizona legislature should be very clear.
01:04:12.000 If you are a multinational firm or a company that is buying for the intent to rent, you are not allowed to do it.
01:04:18.000 Young people and residents of Arizona should get priority over multinational firms coming in to buy up our property to rent it back to us.
01:04:26.000 And guess what?
01:04:28.000 That is actually the market thing to do.
01:04:30.000 That is the capitalist thing to do because that will actually create better principles and better behaviors and better citizens.
01:04:37.000 You want to create conservatives?
01:04:38.000 Three things.
01:04:39.000 Have a young person own property, get married, and have children.
01:04:42.000 You want to create liberals?
01:04:43.000 Keep them without being married, no kids, and have them rent for the rest of their life. 0.99
01:04:47.000 So what should we do?
01:04:48.000 We need bold, decisive action to say New York woke firms sitting on $10 trillion have no business swooping into Scottsdale, buying up our property and making so our 28, 29, and 30-year-olds can never get a chance at the American dream so many of us did.
01:05:02.000 That's the conservative capitalist approach, in my opinion.
01:05:04.000 Thank you.
01:05:06.000 Final word, John.
01:05:08.000 I'm just a whole evening.
