00:01:29.000His 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.
00:01:37.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:32.000And 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.
00:02:42.000I'm a pastor who's a true watchman and not a wimp.
00:02:46.000And 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.
00:02:59.000You know, I want to say something tonight, and I want you to hear me clearly.
00:03:03.000Blacks have become the cheap prostitutes of the Democratic Party.
00:03:08.000They screw us and barely pay us, but we keep running back for more.
00:03:25.000And so, you know, I'm sick of this notion that blacks need the government to think for them.
00:03:32.000You 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.
00:03:41.000Why 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?
00:03:51.000Why do we have to have our skin tone question when we want to celebrate biblical marriage instead of perversion?
00:04:01.000Why do we have to have our skin tone question when we support low taxes?
00:04:08.000You know, look at what's going on in our economy.
00:04:12.000It is the result of failed policies and ideas.
00:04:17.000President Biden cut the Keystone pipeline and we're in a mess.
00:04:22.000And we're not going to get out of this mess until we turn our face back towards God.
00:04:28.000We'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.
00:05:11.000If 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.
00:06:53.000Erased, uncovering the lines of critical race theory and abortion.
00:06:56.000During 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.
00:07:11.000He told me that I was fighting a white man's issue because I was trying to save babies.
00:07:17.000Now, on that Saturday morning, 70% of the people outside trying to save the babies were white.
00:07:25.000But nearly 80 to 85% of the people in the building prepared to abort their baby on that morning.
00:07:34.000But 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.
00:07:51.000Abortion is not a white evangelical issue.
00:07:58.000Calling abortion murder is not a white evangelical issue.
00:08:03.000You 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.
00:08:17.000And 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.
00:08:32.000It is a support system to pastors who have weak voices, pastors who are afraid to deal with these issues.
00:08:40.000And I also deal with the LGBTQ issue in my book as well.
00:08:44.000You know, we are in the midst of Pride Month, right?
00:08:49.000You know, and I believe that every pastor should speak up and say something about Pride Month.
00:08:58.000Every preacher who's worth his salt should say something about this month.
00:09:04.000Now, 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.
00:10:17.000You 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.
00:12:13.000Many 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.
00:12:28.000And we would rather keep the board member happy and not tick him off because he might withdraw his money.
00:12:36.000The Bible says, allow your money to perish with you.
00:12:40.000So 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.
00:13:03.000This is something that I think really is confusing to a lot of people.
00:13:07.000The black community is actually more socially conservative in a lot of different ways than white liberals, especially in California or New York.
00:13:15.000Why is it that the black community being more socially conservative, not on board for this transgender stuff?
00:13:22.000Polls show that they actually are the least approving of it.
00:13:25.000Why is it then that black pastors or black leaders then tend to tilt with the political left?
00:13:32.000Yeah, and you know, Charlie, if I knew the true answer to that question, I might be a rich man.
00:13:36.000All right, but I'm glad you asked a black pastor.
00:14:23.000Many in my community happen to be low information voters, and they're getting their information from the wrong people.
00:14:33.000You 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.
00:14:44.000So therefore, you have a woke pew, right?
00:14:48.000If the pulpit is woke, then the parishioners are going to be woke.
00:14:53.000But many blacks, they don't espouse to these things, but they oftentimes vote one way and pray another.
00:15:23.000I 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.
00:15:42.000This 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.
00:16:09.000There 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.
00:16:23.000In fact, the African American History Museum, the Smithsonian African American History Museum, said that a couple summers ago.
00:16:43.000Because 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?
00:16:54.000And 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.
00:17:09.000Now, 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.
00:17:26.000You know, in our schools, they are attempting to make victims out of black students.
00:17:31.000They're teaching them to hate their nation, to hate their country.
00:17:36.000Rap and hip-hop music is further angering them and turning them against the white man because the white man has disenfranchised them.
00:18:16.000They teach them to be CEOs and entrepreneurs and to own their business.
00:18:20.000And when you do that, you strengthen the family.
00:18:24.000But when dad is out of his place, we can't put the blame on white people.
00:18:30.000Black fathers need to take responsibility for their litter, for their children, for the children that they have produced and stand in their rightful place.
00:18:40.000You know, Kamala Harris said that she was going to astronomically reduce black poverty by providing a $400 check.
00:18:49.000I 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.
00:19:04.000But so many have made a God out of government.
00:19:41.000So 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.
00:19:51.000We did better under Jim Crow laws than we are doing in 2022.
00:19:59.000When 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.
00:23:44.000They're doing it and they did it with the help of the NAACP.
00:23:50.000And 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.
00:24:01.000It'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.
00:24:15.000And 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.
00:24:24.000And what they want to do is they want, they act as if it's so simple.
00:24:27.000You talk to the bills, the kind of bill sponsors.
00:24:29.000Oh, 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.
00:24:41.000Why would that be such a terrible idea?
00:25:51.000You know, I believe that we have good cops and I believe that there are some bad cops.
00:25:57.000We 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.
00:26:11.000You know, oftentimes when a person says thug, they think of someone who is black.
00:26:29.000We saw Hispanic thugs, transgender thugs, all kinds of thugs looting and robbing stores, burning down the CVS pharmacy stores in your own community.
00:26:45.000These things, as governors and mayors who were Democrats stood back and allowed anarchists to rule the night.
00:27:09.000We would rather talk about that than to talk about the summer of 2020.
00:27:14.000Listen, don't talk to me about January 6th.
00:27:17.000I 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.
00:27:38.000And we've seen violent crime skyrocket.
00:27:41.000As 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.
00:27:50.000And what should really concern all of us is that we've seen violent crime go up back when the economy was relatively okay.
00:27:58.000What we're about to see is, I believe, an economic catastrophe.
00:28:06.000Unlike the left, I hope that I'm wrong.
00:28:08.000I hope that we have an economic renaissance, but I also believe in the laws of gravity, and you do too.
00:28:13.000And 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.
00:31:42.000And 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.
00:31:59.000I think that we have to be harsher towards men that are cowards and that abandon.
00:32:04.000Talk 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.
00:32:15.000Well, 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.
00:35:05.000But 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?
00:35:16.000Because, like, as an African-American, you got more of a voice now in America.
00:35:19.000Where 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?
00:37:22.000It'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.
00:37:37.000And just something to think about and pray about.
00:37:39.000I 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.
00:37:48.000She said, you know, we make $51,000 a year as a combined family, right?
00:38:14.000And what she was articulating, and everybody's different, is this amazing example of delayed gratification.
00:38:22.000And delayed gratification is what built the West.
00:38:25.000Delayed 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.
00:38:35.000And 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.
00:38:43.000They ate out a restaurant once a year, all because she said she just wanted to be able to homeschool her kids.
00:38:49.000Otherwise, she could send them to government schools and she could go work at a local place and she could increase their wage.
00:39:44.000So I'd love your thoughts, John, on this.
00:39:47.000What I believe we're living through is an intentional destruction of people's freedom, mobility to travel.
00:39:54.000I believe that we are living through a state-sponsored obliteration of your autonomy via your fossil-fueled car.
00:40:02.000Something we take for granted is when you have cars and cheap gas, you're actually freer.
00:40:10.000When 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.
00:40:26.000I 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.
00:40:41.000They could turn off the electrical grid.
00:40:43.000Where 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.
00:42:12.000By the third year, he said, okay, it's time to get up and go to Jerusalem.
00:42:16.000When 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.
00:42:31.000God showed him that Saul had killed them.
00:42:34.000In America, we've been in a pandemic, a famine for the past three years.
00:43:30.000So I'm a canvasser for the Susan B. Anthony list.
00:43:33.000And 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.
00:43:53.000Did not deny that the baby is a human, knew the baby was human, this guy.
00:44:00.000And so I just, I don't know what to say to that.
00:44:04.000If your mind is so incredibly twisted and depraved that you just, you don't even care that it's human.
00:44:11.000Like it just, if you got to kill it, then you got to kill it.
00:44:16.000I just, I don't know what to say to that.
00:45:20.000Number one, Sir Percival Lowell saw life on planet Mars simply because he wanted to see life on Mars.
00:45:28.000He saw it his way because he wanted to have his way.
00:45:34.000The 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.
00:45:45.000Oftentimes 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.
00:45:54.000But 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.
00:46:21.000I'm a Peoria Imam here with my son tonight, Connor.
00:46:26.000And 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.
00:46:36.000And we've got this organization right now called Bloom 365 going on in a lot of the school districts in Arizona.
00:46:44.000And I wanted to point on it because you talked about what is a man.
00:46:48.000And in this organization, they disguise it as something else where they basically paint boys and men as all bad abusers.
00:46:59.000And that if they're the provider of the home, that's a stereotype.
00:47:06.000How do we get these organizations out of our schools besides running for school board?
00:47:11.000I'm already doing that this coming November, so I'm gonna get on there and get it out.
00:47:15.000But 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.
00:47:25.000How do we get them out of our schools?
00:47:31.000You know, when Madeline O'Hara fought to remove prayer from school, they had to replace prayer with something.
00:47:40.000They brought in metal detectors, they brought in cops, they brought in dogs, and they brought in all kinds of things.
00:47:48.000Here's the reality: when a place has told God that he's not welcome, that place becomes cursed.
00:48:00.000It'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.
00:48:18.000The 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.
00:50:02.000And 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.
00:50:16.000And it ran into us not being able to have any meetings at all the whole school year.
00:50:22.000And our teacher rep was so scared that he wouldn't let us have any meetings at all.
00:51:09.000Is this something that maybe you're just going to tell us to get over it or snap out of it?
00:51:14.000But 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.
00:51:27.000And so many times people say, Charlie, turning points racist.
00:51:56.000Racism, by and large, is something that is taught, right?
00:52:01.000If 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.
00:52:08.000But 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?
00:52:17.000Don't allow those things to paralyze you or cripple you from the work that you're doing.
00:52:23.000The left, those who are awoke, are always going to label you, right?
00:52:28.000So you have to become accustomed with being labeled, okay?
00:52:33.000But continue the work that you are doing because they want to throw you off.
00:52:39.000And if they can stop you with the R word, then you won't go forward.
00:52:46.000Keep fighting, keep standing, and know why you're doing what you're doing and continue to love everyone.
00:52:53.000Let me add one more thing, which is kind of what do I do?
00:53:32.000You're at high school, 17, 18, 16, 17, 18, right?
00:53:36.000You'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.
00:53:46.000You are now being put in a situation that will make you a tougher leader for the rest of your life.
00:53:51.000That's what's awesome about that kind of a problem, right?
00:53:53.000And so no easy way, but parents in the local area are going to help you, right?
00:54:31.000The 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?
00:54:53.000And you draw, it's interesting that you drew a correlation between technology and patience.
00:55:00.000You 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.
00:55:11.000I 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.
00:55:38.000You know, you think they have one Facebook account or sorry, you think they have one TikTok or Snapchat account, but they really have two.
00:55:47.000You know, one is their name, the other one is Hot Girl69, you know.
00:55:52.000And 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.
00:56:02.000I think first and foremost, we need to put some clamps on the tech technology.
00:57:36.000And 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.
00:58:12.000I 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?
00:59:38.000It's a phrase that Thomas Jefferson used in a single letter to the Danbury Baptist Convention that is actually taken out of context.
00:59:44.000It 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.
00:59:52.000The second thing you should send is send them the prayer that used to be in school.
01:00:18.000In 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.
01:01:46.000So 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.
01:02:49.000I think renting creates citizens that don't actually have equity in the system around them.
01:02:54.000When 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?
01:03:24.000It'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.
01:03:39.000I love markets because they serve people.
01:03:41.000When 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.
01:03:48.000So if all of a sudden I have to say, wait, well, Charlie, you know, we got to tolerate markets.
01:03:53.000If 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?
01:04:05.000That's going to create cynical renters that are more likely to say the system is rigged against them.
01:04:09.000So what I do, the Arizona legislature should be very clear.
01:04:12.000If you are a multinational firm or a company that is buying for the intent to rent, you are not allowed to do it.
