The Charlie Kirk Show - The Type of Country Charlie Wanted

00:00:03.000 My name is Charlie Kirk.

00:00:05.000 I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic.

00:00:11.000 My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth.

00:00:14.000 If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable.

00:00:19.000 But if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end up purposeful.

00:00:24.000 College is a scam, everybody.

00:00:26.000 You gotta stop sending your kids to college.

00:00:27.000 You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.

00:00:31.000 Go start a turning point, you would say college chapter.

00:00:33.000 Go start a turning point, you'll say high school chapter.

00:00:35.000 Go find out how your church can get involved.

00:00:37.000 Sign up and become an activist.

00:00:39.000 I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.

00:00:41.000 Most important decision I ever made in my life, and I encourage you to do the same.

00:00:45.000 Here I am, Lord use me.

00:00:48.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:00:49.000 Here we go.

00:00:56.000 Hey, well, listen to this.

00:00:57.000 You don't have to read the newspaper, listen to much news to know that our nation has been in the crosshairs of a spiritual battle for a long time.

00:01:05.000 And throughout history, certainly throughout our nation's history, at very critical moments, God has raised up leaders, voices of clarity and courage, and you're about to hear one such voice.

00:01:18.000 Turning Point USA has engaged hundreds of thousands of people, but young people.

00:01:24.000 And I would say in the 2024 presidential election, the person, the individual most responsible for bringing out first-time voters, youth voters.

00:01:35.000 He is a great American.

00:01:36.000 He loves God and country, a truly, truly great asset to our nation.

00:01:42.000 please help me welcome everybody charlie kirk Thank you, everybody.

00:02:11.000 Please take a seat.

00:02:12.000 Thank you.

00:02:13.000 It is great to be here in South Carolina.

00:02:15.000 Did I get the state right?

00:02:17.000 I'm already doing better than Joe Biden.

00:02:19.000 Um it is phenomenal.

00:02:22.000 Um, couple things I want to talk about, then we're gonna do question and answer here uh with Alex.

00:02:26.000 Uh first of all, if we would have done this event a year ago, I gotta say our country's in a much better place today than it was a year ago.

00:02:33.000 Wouldn't you agree?

00:02:34.000 Praise the Lord.

00:02:37.000 And there are so many different things simultaneously happening right now that are positive.

00:02:42.000 I'm gonna talk about some of them.

00:02:43.000 We're gonna talk about some of the challenges, and then uh we'll have a great chat.

00:02:47.000 First of which is not only did Donald Trump win the White House back in November, which again, thanks to the glory of God, he did so in the most miraculous fashion.

00:02:57.000 He brought first-time voters.

00:02:58.000 Donald Trump won the youth vote in several states around the country, including he won the youth vote in the state of South Carolina, just so we're clear.

00:03:05.000 And for years we were told that younger voters were automatically gonna go to the left.

00:03:10.000 We were told that younger voters were trending in the progressive liberal direction by default.

00:03:16.000 But something changed.

00:03:17.000 You see, Gen ZM, I'm sure there's some Gen Z patriots here in the audience somewhere, they were part of, without a doubt, there you go, all six of them.

00:03:25.000 Great, you're glad you're here.

00:03:28.000 It's a little remnant.

00:03:30.000 They were told for a period of time, they were used as lab rats in one of the most inhumane social experiments in American history.

00:03:40.000 Wear masks to school, shut down school, takeaway prom, take away graduation.

00:03:46.000 We're going to silence your thoughts, we're gonna silence your speech, we're gonna make sure you give land acknowledgments. 0.97

00:03:51.000 We're gonna call you racist, we're gonna call you toxically masculine. 0.99

00:03:55.000 We're going to say that God does not exist. 1.00

00:03:58.000 We want you to sit at home, watch a laptop, and just wither away into existence.

00:04:02.000 It was without a doubt one of the most cruel things that we adults have ever done to our nation's children.

00:04:09.000 And I do not believe that our nation's leaders have been held accountable enough.

00:04:15.000 I believe Anthony Fauci needs to go to federal prison for the rest of his life for what happened during COVID.

00:04:23.000 I don't care if Biden's auto pen signed his pardon, we should test that because that man did More damage to the next generation than almost anybody in particular.

00:04:34.000 And so this generation, they lived through this social experiment.

00:04:40.000 And while many of us saw our homes get more valuable, we saw our stocks go up.

00:04:46.000 This generation saw themselves get poorer.

00:04:48.000 They saw their relationships fall apart.

00:04:51.000 They saw their friends commit suicide.

00:04:53.000 They saw so many people fall to depression and anxiety and mental anguish and torture.

00:04:58.000 And so the calamity that was presented in front of this generation set the table for a right wing correction, a right wing revolution that happened gradually and then suddenly.

00:05:12.000 This last election, we saw the next generation, young men in particular, they moved 44 points more Republican from 2020 to 2024, delivering the White House for Donald Trump in record numbers.

00:05:26.000 And it is not just that they are becoming more conservative, and this is the most exciting thing.

00:05:32.000 We should celebrate that they're loving the nation again.

00:05:34.000 We should celebrate that they want to get married. 0.67

00:05:36.000 We should celebrate that they want to have children.

00:05:38.000 But most importantly, everybody, they are on pace to be the most Christian generation in the last 50 years.

00:05:44.000 That is the most important thing.

00:05:46.000 More and more young people are giving their lives to Christ.

00:05:50.000 More and more young people are putting God as number one.

00:05:53.000 They're spiritually curious.

00:05:54.000 They go on these college campuses and they don't want to just hear about North African lesbian poetry. 0.91

00:06:01.000 They don't just want to hear about, you know, you're systemically racist because you are white.

00:06:07.000 These failed postmodern secular ideas are falling apart in real time.

00:06:11.000 And if there's only a couple things you remember that I say tonight, remember that America will not be a free nation if we are a nation without our commitment to God.

00:06:21.000 If we we are one nation under God, not one nation under government, and if we are one nation under the state, then you will cease to be free.

00:06:29.000 And what what where did we get COVID from?

00:06:31.000 We did not get COVID from.

00:06:34.000 Well, we did get COVID from China.

00:06:35.000 That's exactly right.

00:06:37.000 And honestly, China has to pay a lot more for what they did to our nation, I'll tell you what. 0.99

00:06:42.000 In more ways than one.

00:06:43.000 You're very right.

00:06:44.000 But we the reaction to COVID was largely because of two reasons.

00:06:49.000 The first of which was because of a secular government that hates us and believes in wacky ideas. 0.93

00:06:55.000 The second of which is a little bit harder truth, though.

00:06:58.000 Too many pastors and too many churches sat idly by while our nation was closed.

00:07:03.000 Too many pastors did not speak up and stand out.

00:07:06.000 Now I know this might be controversial for some people, but in the summer of 2020, when they took Easter from us, they took Pentecost from us, when they were telling us that everything was racist and terrible and awful, we should have had more pastors marching out in the streets saying, Arrest me and throw me to prison.

00:07:22.000 You will never call the church non-essential again.

00:07:25.000 You see, COVID happened for those two major reasons.

00:07:28.000 And now we are faced with this reality where the next generation they want something ancient, they want something true, they want something lasting, they want something good, they want something that will be around, not just for five minutes, but for the rest of their life.

00:07:43.000 You see, when they go to church, they want to be struck with awe and wonder that only Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit can fill them.

00:07:50.000 You see, they want a different type of Christianity than sometimes we've been tempted to present.

00:07:55.000 You see, what we have been told is we have been told for the last couple of decades: hey, if you want young people to come to Jesus, never talk about biblical truths, don't talk about biblical marriage, don't talk about the family.

00:08:07.000 Instead, just say, hey, all are welcome here.

00:08:11.000 We're not going to talk about sin.

00:08:12.000 We're only going to talk about Jesus.

00:08:14.000 Now, what is wrong about that?

00:08:15.000 Of course, we should talk about Jesus all the time.

00:08:18.000 But a young kid shows up to church and he never hears about sin.

00:08:21.000 You just hear about how great he is.

00:08:23.000 You know, you're all so great, you're all so wonderful.

00:08:25.000 God loves you the way you are.

00:08:27.000 None of that is necessarily wrong.

00:08:28.000 Well, the you are wonderful part is wrong.

00:08:30.000 But he says, Yeah, I'm the best.

00:08:33.000 This pastor thinks I'm the greatest.

00:08:35.000 And then he says, Oh, by the way, give your life to Jesus.

00:08:37.000 He's like, Give my life to Jesus.

00:08:38.000 You said I was the best.

00:08:40.000 And Jesus can be your savior, and he'll say, Why do I need a savior?

00:08:44.000 You just said I was the best.

00:08:45.000 You cannot ever properly get someone to give their life to Christ and need a savior if they don't know what they need to be saved from.

00:08:54.000 And if we don't talk about sin, which means being off target, then why would a generation ever Want to give their life to Jesus.

00:09:02.000 The modern gospel is let's water it down so that everyone will come and we're gonna cast a wide net and then we're gonna give everyone the gospel of Jesus incrementally and slowly.

00:09:12.000 But it turns out that is a lie.

00:09:14.000 It's fraudulent.

00:09:15.000 First of all, has it worked?

00:09:16.000 Church attendance was going down, church attendance has sloped down, people are becoming less Christian the last 30 years because churches have become weaker and they stop teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ verse by verse, chapter by chapter, and truth by truth.

00:09:30.000 Instead, what we've seen is people show up and they say, Yeah, you know, they say, why do you go to that church?

00:09:35.000 Well, they have good parking and the coffee's above average, and it's like it's a rock concert with a TED talk, and I think you know, it's a lot of fun.

00:09:43.000 Everybody, you don't go to church to have fun.

00:09:45.000 If you have fun while you go to church, good.

00:09:48.000 That means there, you know, that's extra bonus points.

00:09:50.000 You go to church to get saved.

00:09:52.000 You don't go to church to be entertained.

00:09:54.000 You don't go to church to have great music.

00:09:56.000 You go to church to find out, make sure you're going to heaven to get your friends to go to heaven and you can live a more godly life.

00:10:02.000 You go to church to find out what did Jesus say, what did Jesus teach, what is the Bible teaching and how do I act more like that?

00:10:07.000 And this is where this is where this generation, they want more of that type of teaching.

00:10:10.000 They don't want the watered down nonsense.

00:10:13.000 They don't want the kind of, oh, well, you know, the kind of, you know, let's just say overly compassionate, nonsensical thing of saying, well, we don't want to talk about the transgender thing or the homosexuality thing or the abortion thing, because we might offend somebody.

00:10:25.000 Everybody, if you are not actively being offended on a daily basis or as every weekly basis, when you go to church, your pastor is not doing his job.

00:10:32.000 You know why?

00:10:33.000 The Bible's supposed to be offensive to your flesh.

00:10:35.000 The Bible's supposed to be offensive to your lower appetites.

00:10:40.000 And so what we're what we're met with here is really a time for choosing for American Christianity. 0.66

00:10:45.000 So many pastors, they failed the test during COVID, they failed the test during the lockdowns, and now they're wondering, well, if I want to grow my church, I have to try to water things down.

00:10:55.000 I can tell you, as somebody who now draws thousands of people at our college events, by the way, I go to college campuses, so you guys don't have to.

00:11:03.000 You're welcome.

00:11:06.000 And when I go to these college campuses, anyone can go up to the mic.

00:11:11.000 They're not going there to go hear the water down, happy, go lucky, everyone is great.

00:11:15.000 They go there because they want to find the truth.

00:11:18.000 And sometimes the truth might seem provocative and cut against your flesh.

00:11:23.000 It might come again, well, that's kind of not what I've heard before.

00:11:26.000 You haven't heard it before because we have approximated an entire culture that has gone used to accommodating people's and affirming people's sins.

00:11:35.000 And then people say, Well, Charlie, Jesus says us that we should love one another.

00:11:39.000 How do you love?

00:11:39.000 Do you love by lying or by telling the truth?

00:11:42.000 And remember, Christ our Lord is just as much grace as he is truth.

00:11:46.000 The modern church only cares about grace and they never tell the truth.

00:11:50.000 And the and you and now we have this opportunity of a of a monumental amount of our nation's young people.

00:11:57.000 Students that are coming that are seeking Jesus and they're seeking something that is beautiful and that is divine.

00:12:02.000 You know why?

00:12:03.000 Because they know something that's ugly.

00:12:05.000 No, I'm not just talking about their college professor. 0.82

00:12:07.000 They know something that is ugly.

00:12:10.000 They the whole culture around them is ugly, from how people talk to how they increasingly dress to the words to the music, and they say, enough, this is, I don't want to live like this.

00:12:20.000 So they're going towards something ancient.

00:12:22.000 We are sitting on the precipice of the greatest Christian revival since Billy Graham.

00:12:28.000 If we seize it, but it's not gonna happen with a bunch of weak needed wobbling pastors being afraid that they might get an angry email from somebody because they dare talk about, well, abortion is a sin. 0.72

00:12:41.000 I hate you, pastor, because you just judged me.

00:12:44.000 Okay, first of all, if you're the one writing those emails, you have a problem with the word of God, not with that pastor.

00:12:49.000 But secondly, if you as a pastor are not trying to trim down your church to a manageable size every single Sunday, blessed subtraction, then you are not doing your job.

00:13:02.000 You see, far too often we want to try to cast the widest net.

00:13:06.000 We say, we want everyone to join us.

00:13:08.000 We want everyone to hear us.

00:13:10.000 But imagine if I went to a college campus and someone asked me about it, I said, Well, you know, what do you guys want to hear?

00:13:16.000 I'll just tell you what you want to hear.

00:13:18.000 Well, then you wouldn't be nothing I would do would have any resonance.

00:13:22.000 It wouldn't be, it wouldn't be the idea or the crusade of truth.

00:13:25.000 And so I'm I'm extremely excited, I'm extremely optimistic about where this can head.

00:13:32.000 Simultaneously, I'm worried that the American church is largely unequipped for what is coming.

00:13:39.000 Because they have this muscle memory that is built up where they they have this false impression of what the church should be.

00:13:46.000 And that involves, by the way, something very important.

00:13:48.000 Number one, always should be Jesus Christ.

00:13:50.000 That's the most important thing.

00:13:52.000 The most important thing is winning people over for Jesus Christ.

00:13:55.000 What's the second most important thing?

00:13:57.000 To make sure you could do the first thing.

00:13:59.000 That's where politics comes in.

00:14:01.000 If you don't do the second thing, then you can't do the first thing.

00:14:04.000 Why don't we go all open a church in Saudi Arabia?

00:14:06.000 Does that sound like a good idea?

00:14:07.000 You can't, because of politics.

00:14:08.000 Why don't we go open a church in Afghanistan?

00:14:11.000 You can't because of politics.

00:14:12.000 We as Christians have been fed a lie that we should not get involved in politics.

00:14:16.000 You know, people say all the time, well, Charlie, you know, um, you know, you're you're you're too political.

00:14:20.000 No, no, I'm biblical.

00:14:22.000 There's a big difference.

00:14:23.000 They say, well, where in the Bible does it say be political?

00:14:25.000 Well, let's open up how Daniel, Esther, Mordecai, Nehemiah, Moses, Zerebabel, you want to pick almost any portion of the Old Testament.

00:14:35.000 They're talking about either the moral or the civil law, how God is set up for us to live.

00:14:40.000 You see, everybody, the kicker that I think that is in front of us is that we have this opportunity to reorient an entire nation back to what ultimately matters.

00:14:50.000 What ultimately matters is that there is a God and you are not him, that we live under his teaching, and there is a natural law, and that it normativity is woven into nature, that there is a moral law that we should point towards.

00:15:02.000 That no, you don't get to point to your own truth.

00:15:05.000 You don't get to come up with your own values, that there is a way for you to live, and you don't get to choose your own way to live, that you should try to pursue something outside of you.

00:15:14.000 And because of how the enemy overreached, God used it for good.

00:15:18.000 We are living through Genesis 50, 20 right now.

00:15:21.000 What the enemy meant for evil, God will use for good.

00:15:24.000 And it is a prerequisite for an explosion of Christianity and commitments for Christ.

00:15:31.000 But the second part is equally as important.

00:15:33.000 And that's what I also want to talk about, which is the state of our nation, which is praise God, God gave us a respite, Donald Trump won, young people helped deliver it.

00:15:41.000 But going even beyond that, what is the type of country that we want to live in?

00:15:45.000 I want to live in a type of country where you don't have to lock your doors at night.

00:15:49.000 A type of country where church attendance is going up, a type of country where people are going to get married and have children.

00:15:54.000 A type of country where we are not going to have a Muslim Marxist mayor of New York City.

00:16:00.000 There's something wrong with that, everybody.

00:16:03.000 Now, this is where people say, Charlie, you can't say that.

00:16:06.000 Let me repeat it for whatever stenographer for the media.

00:16:09.000 There's something wrong when you have a Muslim Marxist mayor of New York City, our greatest city. 1.00

00:16:14.000 There's something wrong with that.

00:16:15.000 In fact, we don't talk enough about Islam.

00:16:19.000 There is a red-green axis that is trying to suffocate this country.

00:16:23.000 We talk a lot about the red, which is the Marxist, but we don't talk nearly enough about the Islamist.

00:16:28.000 We don't talk nearly enough about the hundreds of thousands of Muslims that we have voluntarily imported into our country that build mosques, implement Sharia law, they court.

00:16:39.000 I don't know if you guys have this problem in South Carolina or not, but it's a I'm thankfully no.

00:16:43.000 But you go to Minneapolis, you even go to Dallas, you go to New York, and it will metastasize, it will spread.

00:16:48.000 You know why?

00:16:49.000 Because the women of the West, they get cats, the women of Muslims, they have eight kids. 1.00

00:16:54.000 Eventually it doesn't work very well.

00:16:57.000 It's just a bunch of math.

00:16:58.000 The women of the West have abortions, the women of Muslims, they have entire communities they can fill.

00:17:04.000 When you import one, you get 32, you know, 10 years later, chain migration, all this nonsense.

00:17:10.000 People say, but Charlie, don't you understand that the immigrants make our country better?

00:17:16.000 Hold on a second.

00:17:17.000 Immigration without assimilation is an invasion. 1.00

00:17:21.000 And when you have millions of people coming into the country that do not learn our language, that do not learn our culture. 0.99

00:17:28.000 Let me great example.

00:17:29.000 Any truck drivers out there?

00:17:30.000 I'm sure we have a couple truck drivers.

00:17:31.000 I see some hands being raised.

00:17:33.000 God bless you guys.

00:17:34.000 Do you know that just the other day, an illegal alien that entered in this country by the name of Harbinger Singh, one of 400,000 illegal alien refugees that Joe Biden gave commercial driver's licenses to.

00:17:47.000 So 18-wheel big rigs, okay?

00:17:50.000 This guy did an illegal U-turn in the middle of the day.

00:17:52.000 Do you see this video?

00:17:53.000 A legal U-turn in the middle of a day on a two-way highway on a two-way highway in Florida, goes around and kills three Americans, everybody, there are 400,000 of them.

00:18:03.000 They don't they don't read English.

00:18:05.000 How can you read the street signs?

00:18:06.000 How can you communicate on a two-way radio?

00:18:08.000 How can you talk to a police officer?

00:18:10.000 How do you even know what you're caring if you don't communicate English?

00:18:13.000 You know what's happened here, everybody?

00:18:15.000 We, as conservatives and Christians, we've allowed them to take our generosity for granted.

00:18:20.000 They have taken advantage of us.

00:18:23.000 And it is not against the individual person or you know, all the great sob stories that we hear or whatever.

00:18:29.000 But here is the kicker.

00:18:30.000 The kicker is this.

00:18:32.000 We need to love the nation so much that we don't care about the insults that they throw at us.

00:18:37.000 We need to care about our neighbors so much that we don't want them to die by an 18-right doing a U-turn in Florida and being killed by a foreign illegal alien that was given a commercial driver's license.

00:18:53.000 We're honored to be partnering with Alan Jackson Ministries.

00:18:55.000 And today I want to point you to their podcast.

00:18:58.000 It's called Culture and Christianity, the Alan Jackson podcast.

00:19:02.000 What makes it unique is Pastor Allen's biblical perspective.

00:19:05.000 He takes the truth from the Bible and applies it to issues we're facing today: gender confusion, abortion, immigration, doge, Trump in the White House, issues in the church.

00:19:14.000 He doesn't just discuss the problems.

00:19:16.000 In every episode, he gives practical things we can do to make a difference.

00:19:19.000 His guests have incredible expertise and powerful testimonies.

00:19:23.000 They've been great friends.

00:19:24.000 And now you can hear from Charlie in his own words.

00:19:26.000 Each episode will make you recognize the power of your faith and how God can use your life to impact our world today.

00:19:33.000 The Culture and Christianity podcast is informative and encouraging.

00:19:36.000 You could find it on YouTube, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

00:19:40.000 Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss any episodes.

00:19:42.000 Alan Jackson Ministries is working hard to bring biblical truth back into our culture.

00:19:47.000 You can find out more about Pastor Allen and the ministry at Alan Jackson.com forward slash Charlie.

00:19:55.000 Even beyond that, everybody.

00:19:56.000 When someone is a practicing Muslim in this country, five times a day they are praying to another land. 1.00

00:20:02.000 Imagine what that does to you.

00:20:04.000 Literally, in Islam, you are pointing yourself to another nation. 1.00

00:20:09.000 You're not pointing yourself to this nation.

00:20:11.000 You're pointing yourself to Saudi Arabia and Mecca five times a day.

00:20:15.000 One of the five pillars of Islam is to leave America and go do a hajj into Saudi Arabia. 1.00

00:20:21.000 We as Americans are being played as suckers as we import hundreds of thousands of people that do not assimilate, take our government benefits, infiltrate, spy, and metastasize. 0.99

00:20:33.000 And President Donald Trump has a once in a hundred year opportunity to say no more, and you're all going home.

00:20:39.000 We're going to take this country back and restore it once and for all.

00:20:44.000 And some people will say, well, Charlie, that is hateful.

00:20:47.000 That is loving to the nation.

00:20:49.000 Do you know what's hateful?

00:20:50.000 They're being hateful because they actually don't love America.

00:20:54.000 We're simply calling out their hate and we're meeting their hate with a nice one-way ticket back to Mogadishu.

00:21:02.000 And let's talk about what the Bible says.

00:21:04.000 Every time immigration comes up in the Bible, assimilation comes right alongside of it. 0.98

00:21:09.000 You must learn the customs.

00:21:10.000 You must learn the language.

00:21:15.000 Moses' farewell address, he says, be careful who you allow into the nation of Israel, because the foreigner can soon become your master. 1.00

00:21:24.000 Boy.

00:21:25.000 Zoran Mamdani becomes the mayor of New York City.

00:21:30.000 The Bible is always true, everybody.

00:21:32.000 It is always true.

00:21:33.000 I will close with this, and I will have a great conversation with Alex McFarland.

00:21:36.000 I want to encourage all of you guys to spend as much time as you can always going back to Scripture.

00:21:41.000 You see, Scriptures are transcendent truth standard.

00:21:45.000 Everybody lives by a transcendent truth standard.

00:21:47.000 Everybody.

00:21:48.000 Somebody might say, Well, Charlie, I don't believe that there is any absolute truth.

00:21:51.000 And you should say, What?

00:21:52.000 Do you believe that absolutely?

00:21:54.000 Everybody believes and some sort of truth.

00:21:56.000 What book, what creed, what song, what person, what tradition?

00:22:00.000 Where do you get your morals and your values from?

00:22:02.000 We as Christians, we get it from the Word of God.

00:22:05.000 And we get it from the place that built this entire civilization.

00:22:08.000 From the Hellenic, which of course is the Greek, and the Hebraic, which is the is the Jewish scriptures that gave us, of course, the New Testament.

00:22:16.000 Western civilization is this moment in time where all of us can participate in the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of the world.

00:22:24.000 But as John Adams famously said, if America ceases to be a moral and religious people, it will cease to be a free people.

00:22:31.000 The Constitution was simply and solely written for a moral and religious people.

00:22:36.000 It is wholly inadequate for the people of any other. 0.98

00:22:39.000 It is not adequate for a people of modernism, secularism, materialism, or Muhammadism, another good word for Islam. 1.00

00:22:47.000 What I'm what I'm saying, everybody, is that yes, the election of Donald Trump should give you hope and conviction.

00:22:52.000 That is nothing more than scene one, chapter one, and what will now be a multi-decade fight against the people that have been waging a war against us these last couple of decades.

00:23:03.000 But rest easy.

00:23:04.000 Two final thoughts.

00:23:05.000 First of which, as I mentioned, younger people are coming our way.

00:23:09.000 And the second of which, we are up against a force of darkness that in the end, we know we win.

00:23:15.000 In the end, we know that light conquers darkness.

00:23:17.000 We know that Christ conquers Satan.

00:23:19.000 In the end, we know that good will conquer evil.

00:23:22.000 However, as it says in the scriptures, Psalm 97, 10.

00:23:25.000 Let those of you who love God, we all love God, hate evil.

00:23:29.000 That is in the command form.

00:23:31.000 That means you can't just sit idly by and say, Charlie, I'm not getting involved in any of this stuff because Jesus is coming next Thursday and I'm getting raptured.

00:23:38.000 Really?

00:23:39.000 Then wire me all your money.

00:23:42.000 Oh, you don't actually believe it.

00:23:44.000 You're using it as an excuse.

00:23:45.000 Eschatology is fun.

00:23:46.000 You could talk about it, yay, and you could pray for it.

00:23:48.000 You see, some people are pre-trib, some people are post-trib.

00:23:51.000 I'm pantrib.

00:23:52.000 It's all gonna pan out in the end, okay?

00:23:53.000 I'm on the welcoming committee, not the planning committee.

00:23:55.000 I'm more what I'm doing now, more so than what I'm doing in heaven.

00:23:58.000 God has a great plan for all of us.

00:24:00.000 I'm sure we're gonna see the activity list and we'll be blown away.

00:24:02.000 Everybody, he cares about what we do here.

00:24:05.000 And far too often people get so focused on next life.

00:24:09.000 I'm gonna get raptured up, Charlie.

00:24:10.000 It's not falling apart, it's falling together.

00:24:12.000 I've heard all the one-liners, and I roll my eyes and I say, while you are next life focused as you should be, you have never ever ever could show me a scripture where God tells you not to care about this life.

00:24:22.000 He calls you to care for the children, to clothe the to clothe the poor, to feed the hungry.

00:24:28.000 He carries you to fight the injustice, to go up against evil, to educate your children.

00:24:34.000 You see, far too often we've allowed the over-emphasis on end times eschatology, which I'm all for.

00:24:40.000 You guys can talk about it all the time, and it's an important conversation.

00:24:43.000 But never once should you allow it to make you paralyzed, afraid, or inactive.

00:24:48.000 In fact, that is the enemy using scripture and contorting it.

00:24:51.000 Remember, when Jesus was tempted in the garden, it wasn't that Satan.

00:24:55.000 Satan did not quote Buddhism when he was talking to Jesus.

00:24:59.000 He quoted scripture back to Jesus, but he changed a couple parts of it.

00:25:04.000 Satan knows the Bible.

00:25:06.000 He knows verses and will use it against you.

00:25:09.000 We as Christians are a sleeping giant.

00:25:11.000 We've been too polite.

00:25:13.000 We've been, don't try to be more Christ-like than Jesus.

00:25:18.000 Not once did Jesus tell you to be nice, but he did tell you to tell the truth.

00:25:23.000 We should tell truth and love.

00:25:25.000 We should care for those and love God and love people, but Jesus hated evil.

00:25:29.000 You know why?

00:25:30.000 Because Jesus conquered evil on the cross.

00:25:32.000 We should must know what evil is.

00:25:34.000 We can only know what evil is if we know what good is, because it's transcendent above us.

00:25:38.000 And if Christians wake up, if pastors go alongside and we go, and every one of our series of influence into our churches and to our schools, into the streets, into our businesses on social media, and we realize this nation founded as a Christian nation, has been given a new birth of freedom by the grace of God on July 13th when Donald Trump could have had his uh brains blown out, but by this couple millimeters, we have a nation and a republic.

00:26:01.000 It should invigorate you and fire you up to go out from this place and to save this nation for righteous and just purposes.

00:26:08.000 Thank you guys so much and let's do some questions.

00:26:09.000 Thank you.

00:26:18.000 Wow.

00:26:19.000 That's awesome.

00:26:21.000 You know, we have the same conservative constitutional beliefs, same beliefs in Jesus.

00:26:29.000 We're pretty much the same height.

00:26:32.000 But uh, how about some QA, right?

00:26:35.000 Um, if you have a question, now we've got some mics floating around or some mites on stands.

00:26:41.000 How are we gonna do this?

00:26:42.000 We have some microphones in the audience.

00:26:44.000 Uh come on out, mic runners, and thank you, Jeff Hill, for bringing us Fuji Water.

00:26:51.000 And um, listen, don't be shy.

00:26:53.000 This is your chance to ask a question of Charlie Kirk.

00:26:56.000 And um, I I guess I'll begin.

00:26:58.000 For those that may not know, give us a website of TPUSA and uh where are you guys today and what are the next uh say one to three years look like for TPUSA?

00:27:08.000 Yeah, um, first of all, I'm sure somebody here is involved with Turning Point USA in some way, So thank you and thank you.

00:27:13.000 And by the way, for all of you that give five bucks a month, ten bucks a month, thank you, God bless you.

00:27:18.000 You are investing in the future of the country, and you are making a sizable and measurable difference.

00:27:23.000 We have 500,000 people that give us money every single year, and from 10 bucks, 15 bucks, that is a huge honor.

00:27:30.000 That is humbling, and we say with heaviness, we work harder than every other organization in the country.

00:27:36.000 We're on thousands of high school and college campuses across America.

00:27:39.000 I'm doing 30 campus stops this upcoming campus tour, and uh, we're gonna be all across the country finishing at UC Berkeley.

00:27:47.000 So I will tell you I will tell you firsthand what the gate of Hades is all about.

00:27:54.000 Yeah.

00:27:55.000 And it's it's gonna be it's gonna be a riot.

00:27:58.000 And so look, our podcast is doing amazing.

00:28:00.000 Uh praise God.

00:28:01.000 Uh, anyone listen to the Charlie Kirk show?

00:28:03.000 I'm sure some of you guys do.

00:28:04.000 Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

00:28:06.000 Everybody, yeah, just about everybody.

00:28:08.000 Uh, you if you're not, you guys can subscribe to the Charlie Kirk Show podcast page, and the show is as hot as a pistol right now.

00:28:14.000 Every day we talk about things from a pro-American biblical-based standpoint, and uh, we bring the heat, we bring the fire, and I'm sure we're gonna get some questions about uh some of the people that need to be removed from office here in South Carolina, but I'll allow you to guess and maybe ask the question and lead the questioner with that.

00:28:30.000 Let's uh let's talk there.

00:28:31.000 Let's start over here.

00:28:32.000 What you got?

00:28:33.000 All right.

00:28:34.000 Yes, sir.

00:28:34.000 You are first.

00:28:35.000 You're the first question.

00:28:36.000 Welcome.

00:28:38.000 Well, uh, thank you, Alex, for hosting this.

00:28:40.000 Thank you, Charlie, for coming over.

00:28:42.000 Good to see you again, Alex.

00:28:43.000 We met a while back in Winsiselo.

00:28:46.000 Yeah, we do.

00:28:46.000 God bless you.

00:28:47.000 Shout out to the Truth Network and Stu representing the and the guys back home.

00:28:51.000 Um, Charlie, you are we're talking about a few uh topics that are uh key to society.

00:28:59.000 What some people here might not know about, what you all do, is the realm of apologetics.

00:29:06.000 And apologetics means a defense of the faith.

00:29:09.000 Uh until I started listening to guys like Charlie Kirk and Alex McFarland.

00:29:12.000 Alex McFarlane has a book out about answering questions.

00:29:16.000 I started learning about apologetics, and I learned about how we can defend um our faith against science, history, biology, even astronomy.

00:29:26.000 So it covers all of that.

00:29:28.000 So I say all that to say this to you.

00:29:30.000 Sh how much did you learn or how much did it take for you to learn what all you learn, Charlie?

00:29:36.000 And can we implement that into our schools?

00:29:40.000 Well, thank you.

00:29:40.000 That's a great question.

00:29:41.000 God bless you, man.

00:29:42.000 And I'm still learning.

00:29:44.000 I'm not done learning.

00:29:45.000 That's the thing.

00:29:46.000 And every day I'm reading books.

00:29:48.000 I try to do two hours of learning a day.

00:29:50.000 I have great mentors from Dr. James Orr to Frank Turek.

00:29:53.000 Maybe you guys know Frank Turek, a great Christian apologist.

00:29:55.000 Amen.

00:29:56.000 Uh, he's just the best.

00:29:57.000 And we we need to keep on learning because what what you realize is the enemy will constantly change its maneuvers, but it goes down to the same five or six objections.

00:30:07.000 And when I go to a college campus, almost every objection can go down to one major thing and then some subcategories.

00:30:14.000 Who are you, Charlie, to tell me what I should do with my life?

00:30:19.000 I'm gonna keep on doing what I want to do, leave me alone.

00:30:23.000 Hilariously, they want me to leave them alone, and they come up to the mic to tell me to leave them alone.

00:30:29.000 So I was leaving them alone until they came up to the microphone.

00:30:32.000 Yeah, it's like I don't even know who you are, and you left your dorm room to come tell me to leave you alone.

00:30:37.000 They're like, there are no moral truths, and it's wrong that you say there are.

00:30:42.000 Yes, and by the way, that itself is a truth statement.

00:30:44.000 You are making a truth claim by saying that there are no moral truths.

00:30:47.000 Yeah.

00:30:48.000 So embedded in almost every single line of reasoning, you elevate a line of truth above yourself.

00:30:53.000 Almost everything.

00:30:54.000 We as Christians know this, we acknowledge it, and the ultimate form of truth is manifested in the life and the reality and the truth and the minute and the ministry of Jesus Christ.

00:31:04.000 Yeah, that is ultimate truth.

00:31:05.000 In fact, he said, I am the truth and the life.

00:31:08.000 That if you believe I am only those of you that believe me can get to the to the father.

00:31:12.000 So anyway, I I'm constantly learning, constantly studying, constantly uh pushing my boundaries.

00:31:18.000 And I would say that Frank Turek's book, I don't have enough faith to be an atheist, is a must read.

00:31:23.000 I encourage all of you, if you have young people, to teach them that book.

00:31:27.000 Um, I also am a big believer in that we should Teach classically more often.

00:31:31.000 I don't know if anyone here is classically schooled or believe.

00:31:34.000 Yeah, the fact that not everyone knows what I'm talking about is a failure of kind of Protestantism, honestly.

00:31:40.000 Do you know that almost every founding father that was Protestant was educated classically?

00:31:44.000 What does it mean to be educated classically?

00:31:47.000 That you read the great books of the Western canon and you use your reason to show how it ultimately points to Jesus Christ.

00:31:54.000 Your eighth grader should know who Aristotle is or was and what he taught.

00:31:58.000 Unfortunately, that there is this presuppositional argument that we should always teach from the Bible.

00:32:04.000 I believe that that falls apart though once that kid goes to college.

00:32:08.000 So let me just kind of play with this for a little bit.

00:32:11.000 I have no problem with presupposing the Bible is true.

00:32:13.000 You should say that.

00:32:14.000 But if that's all you say to a sixth grader, and then their formation of that, they don't actually know how to reason towards the Bible.

00:32:22.000 So as soon as they get very challenging questions when they go to University of Georgia or wherever they go, University of South Carolina or Clemson or whatever, you guys are gonna throw something at me.

00:32:31.000 Um they'll say, Well, the Bible is true. 0.94

00:32:34.000 And then someone will say, Well, how do you know that?

00:32:36.000 Why do you say that?

00:32:38.000 And what what these other ancient Western texts do from Aristotle to Plato to Augustine to Aquinas is they will allow you to use the natural law, reason, and the moral law to make an argument pointing towards the ultimate truth of Jesus Christ.

00:32:54.000 And this is scriptural, actually.

00:32:56.000 In Galatians 3, it says the law, which of course is the moral, the civil, and the ceremonial and the natural law, is a guardian of Jesus Christ.

00:33:05.000 It's a guardian, is a school cheat teacher towards the gospel.

00:33:09.000 So I I would recommend that.

00:33:11.000 I think that we need to have more young people classically educated and more parents need to know exactly what that means.

00:33:16.000 Thank you.

00:33:17.000 And the church needs to encourage this stewardship of the mind.

00:33:21.000 Uh Charlie, by God's grace, I've spoken in 2200 American churches.

00:33:26.000 Backstage on Sunday mornings, pastors, they've said this to me a hundred times.

00:33:29.000 They're like, now, Alex, we're glad you're here, but don't be deep.

00:33:32.000 Don't go too deep.

00:33:34.000 And I'm I'm like, no, we need to stretch ourselves.

00:33:36.000 I'm not gonna belabor that point, but yes, be a steward of your mind.

00:33:40.000 Let's go over here.

00:33:41.000 And uh welcome to our evening with Charlie Kirk.

00:33:45.000 Hello.

00:33:46.000 Charlie, great to see you.

00:33:48.000 Alex, great to see you again.

00:33:50.000 I don't know if you remember me.

00:33:51.000 Q from Rockfish Church in Rayford.

00:33:54.000 God bless you.

00:33:54.000 Welcome.

00:33:55.000 It's great to be here.

00:33:56.000 I'm here also with my 13-year-old son Gabriel.

00:33:59.000 He's a fan of yours since now.

00:34:03.000 Um I'm a firm I'm a firm believer that before we change the nation, uh, either politically and spiritually, we need to allow the word of God to cut us deep and transform us.

00:34:17.000 I would like to ask you, in the millions of things that you do on a daily basis, when is the time that you separate to find one rest in God and to sharpen your sword to go back into the world?

00:34:32.000 That's a phenomenal question.

00:34:34.000 So I'm very busy.

00:34:35.000 We have a thousand employees.

00:34:37.000 I do three hours of broadcasting a day.

00:34:39.000 I do a hundred hours of campus debates a semester.

00:34:42.000 I do lots of speeches like this, well over a hundred speeches like this a year.

00:34:45.000 Travel the country, travel the world, I'm going to Asia in a couple weeks.

00:34:48.000 I just got back from Europe, we're all over the place.

00:34:50.000 So I believe that God gave gives us those answers.

00:34:53.000 Number one, I try to read the word for at least 15 minutes a day.

00:34:56.000 Turn off your phone.

00:34:57.000 I have a whole speech that I'll bore you guys.

00:35:00.000 Do not read the Bible on your phone.

00:35:02.000 Get an old-fashioned open up your Bible, book of a Bible.

00:35:06.000 Now, if you have to read it on your phone, God bless you, God knows your heart.

00:35:11.000 Why is that?

00:35:12.000 As soon as you open your phone, I have a whole speech I do on this.

00:35:15.000 It's like a 30-minute speech, so I'll judge it down to like three minutes.

00:35:18.000 You are you are immediately allowing the enemy, other attack vectors to distract you from your time with God.

00:35:24.000 The pings and the dings and the Instagram messages.

00:35:26.000 I mean, all that.

00:35:27.000 Why would you ever have something in your hand when you're trying to study and go closer to God that the enemy could use as an interference?

00:35:34.000 Number two, I don't know you guys, but when I open up my Bible, there's something that the weight of it, the feel, the texture, the aesthetic, right?

00:35:41.000 I it's almost like I'm picking up my sword, right?

00:35:44.000 I know how it feels.

00:35:45.000 Like, for example, if I you could blindfold me and you could give me a hundred books, I would know immediately the weight of my Bible versus a hundred other objects.

00:35:53.000 Who would agree with me on that?

00:35:54.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:35:55.000 Your phone, all of a sudden you're using your phone that is used for a million other things, also for that which is holy.

00:36:01.000 It can be done, but boy, all of a sudden it's a multi-purpose thing.

00:36:05.000 It doesn't feel the same.

00:36:06.000 Finally, I'll I just more kind of technical than that.

00:36:10.000 Um, I like to read the same way that the disciples read.

00:36:12.000 I like the way the same way that the ancients read.

00:36:14.000 I don't that's one thing I don't think we should change.

00:36:16.000 Anyway, so physical Bibles, put away those digital Bibles, give young people uh physical Bibles.

00:36:21.000 But the most important part of rest that we have, and I'm a big believer in this, is that I have a whole book coming out about this in December, which is that the least followed of the Ten Commandments to our own detriment is honoring the Sabbath.

00:36:35.000 And I'm not here to tell you that you have to do it on Saturday or Sunday.

00:36:39.000 I'm not interested in that.

00:36:40.000 What I am saying, though, is that if you think that God told you to work for seven days straight, that is not biblical.

00:36:48.000 That is not biblical.

00:36:50.000 That is a creation of materialism that does not exist.

00:36:53.000 Instead, think about it.

00:36:55.000 What are the excuses that are preventing you from turning off your phone, turning off your devices for one day?

00:37:01.000 For me, I said I was too busy.

00:37:03.000 Notice that's the first thing that I would say.

00:37:05.000 That's my flesh.

00:37:06.000 That's my pride saying that.

00:37:08.000 So what I did is I started four years ago.

00:37:10.000 I turn off my phone on Friday night, I turn it back on on Sunday morning.

00:37:13.000 For me, that's just really where it where it works on Saturday for my family.

00:37:16.000 Uh, it has changed our life completely.

00:37:19.000 It says in the scriptures, for six days you shall work, and the seventh day you shall rest.

00:37:23.000 Now Moses repeats the Ten Commandments and the book of Deuteronomy after it's in Exodus 20.

00:37:29.000 And the only difference of when he repeated the Ten Commandments, the only difference was when he repeated the Sabbath commandment.

00:37:35.000 He added a one-liner.

00:37:36.000 You are no longer on your so for six days you shall work on the seventh day you shall rest to keep the Sabbath day holy, for you are no longer slaves in Egypt.

00:37:45.000 He's saying that only slaves work for seven days.

00:37:49.000 How many of you guys feel like slaves if you work for seven days straight?

00:37:52.000 We all do.

00:37:53.000 And we as Christians and pastors need to do a much better job of talking about the Sabbath and honoring the Sabbath.

00:37:59.000 It will transform your life.

00:38:00.000 Your marriage will get better.

00:38:01.000 There are no downsides.

00:38:02.000 Things will not get worse if you decide that you're going to give a day to God.

00:38:06.000 Things do not get worse.

00:38:07.000 That you're going to give a day to your family, give a day to your spouse, give a day to honor and to worship.

00:38:13.000 Instead, we've been led to believe that we need to constantly toil for seven days straight.

00:38:18.000 Not only is it not true, it makes the rest of the week kind of this endless hamster wheel.

00:38:23.000 The Sabbath should be a day of celebrating the risen Christ, of honoring, uh honoring your parents, honoring the entire nuclear family.

00:38:31.000 And I'll close, I'll kind of put a capstone in this.

00:38:34.000 Some of you might think you are honoring the Sabbath.

00:38:36.000 Here's how to know if you are honoring the Sabbath.

00:38:39.000 And I said this backstage during our time together.

00:38:41.000 Can you pass the Sabbath test?

00:38:44.000 The Sabbath test is if I walk into your house, can I tell it's the Sabbath?

00:38:51.000 Is there something different?

00:38:53.000 Or is it just like every other day?

00:38:56.000 If it's just like every other day, you're not honoring the Sabbath.

00:38:59.000 It should feel different.

00:39:00.000 It should sound different, it should look different.

00:39:03.000 Everything about it, because it says to keep it holy.

00:39:06.000 The Hebrew word for holy literally means separate.

00:39:10.000 Lift it up.

00:39:11.000 Am I right, Alex?

00:39:12.000 You're right about it.

00:39:12.000 It means separate.

00:39:13.000 We have done a bad job of this.

00:39:15.000 And I believe we in the West are suffering because of it.

00:39:19.000 We used to have blue laws in this country.

00:39:20.000 Who remembers blue laws?

00:39:21.000 I remember.

00:39:22.000 Was it a better country when we had blue laws?

00:39:24.000 Amen.

00:39:25.000 Young people are like, what are blue laws? 1.00

00:39:27.000 We used to shut down restaurants and shut down commerce because we used to give a day to God.

00:39:31.000 And now we can't get out of our way.

00:39:33.000 We must constantly be buying stuff for seven days straight.

00:39:35.000 Okay, we might not be able to pass the laws, or maybe should we, but you can decide not to do that.

00:39:40.000 So I think we as a Christian body, if we want to be freer, if we want to be happy, if we want to rest in the presence of the living Christ, let's dedicate a day to turning off our devices, rejecting modernity, and honoring the seventh day and giving it to Christ our Lord.

00:39:55.000 Hey everybody, Andrew Colvet, executive producer of the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:39:59.000 Charlie understood that to lead, he needed to learn.

00:40:02.000 Hillsdale College was ready to teach him.

00:40:05.000 While busy running his company, teaching America's youth and raising a beautiful family, Charlie still found time to complete 31 Hillsdale College free online courses.

00:40:14.000 He talked about it the last time he spoke on his podcast with Hillsdale's president, Dr. Larry Arn.

00:40:18.000 Hillsdale is the cutting edge, and I mean it.

00:40:21.000 It is America's greatest college.

00:40:22.000 You are a force of nature, Charlie Kirk.

00:40:24.000 One of these days, I'm gonna give you an honorary degree.

00:40:27.000 That would be the honor of my life.

00:40:28.000 But I I got a lot more learning yet to do.

00:40:30.000 And I say this.

00:40:31.000 The Hillsdale courses have changed my life.

00:40:33.000 Through Hillsdale College's free online courses, Charlie studied the Bible, the classics, the American founding, and through his relentless pursuit of truth, became not only a great American, but a good man.

00:40:43.000 Charlie's gone.

00:40:44.000 But his spirit of hard work and lifelong learning carry on.

00:40:47.000 Each of us can follow his example and pick up where he left off.

00:40:50.000 So learn like Charlie did at Charlie for Hillsdale.com.

00:40:53.000 That's Charlie for Hillsdale.com.

00:40:58.000 What you got?

00:41:00.000 Hello.

00:41:01.000 Hi, Charlie.

00:41:02.000 Um, I'm very excited to see you.

00:41:04.000 I watch all your stuff.

00:41:06.000 It's hard of turning point.

00:41:07.000 Um my question is, um I have concerns over things like the death penalty.

00:41:15.000 Um I mean, it it's one of the Ten Commandments.

00:41:20.000 You should not murder.

00:41:21.000 So it is it somehow justified because they're such a horrible criminal, or are they um eliminating or changing the trajectory of God's plan for what it was supposed to be because they murdered somebody and it you know they didn't go when God was ready for them?

00:41:41.000 Great question.

00:41:42.000 So uh I get this question a lot.

00:41:44.000 So it does say do not murder, it does not say do not kill.

00:41:48.000 So those are two different Hebrew words, right?

00:41:51.000 So to murder is a completely different thing than to kill.

00:41:53.000 For example, you're allowed to kill in self-defense.

00:41:56.000 Somebody comes into your house, you are allowed to take that life if your life is being put into jeopardy.

00:42:01.000 In fact, to go a step further, the reason why it made sense to ancient Israel.

00:42:05.000 Did you know that a life for a life, otherwise known as the death penalty, is the only law that is in all five books of the Torah?

00:42:14.000 It's the only law.

00:42:16.000 Not even the Sabbath is in all five books of the Torah.

00:42:18.000 Now the Sabbath exists in Genesis, but it's not in all five books.

00:42:22.000 So this idea of taking a life if you take a life, what is it rooted in?

00:42:26.000 Why does it matter?

00:42:27.000 Well, first of all, God is communicating to us the first thing, taking human life is a major deal.

00:42:33.000 That's God's first moral teaching in the Torah.

00:42:36.000 That it's not to be trivialized.

00:42:38.000 Let me give you another example.

00:42:39.000 Basic, there's a there's a law of the 613 laws of uh Judaism, of which we are not bound to the civil uh the ceremonial law, which is one of them, that if an animal takes a human life, you must kill that animal.

00:42:54.000 So it's like, okay, that's like why do that?

00:42:56.000 Well, what are you gonna like have you know?

00:42:58.000 Oh, yeah, that's Lenny, he killed my uncle, and you know, his say hi. 0.90

00:43:02.000 Like you're gonna keep that animal around.

00:43:04.000 The only punishment imaginable for taking the thing that only we are made in the image of God.

00:43:09.000 So if you take another image bearer's life, what could possibly be a just punishment for that? 0.54

00:43:15.000 Well, according to the economy of God, it's that you your life must also be taken.

00:43:19.000 And according to um scriptural theology, we are not taking that person's life.

00:43:25.000 When you take another person's life, you already took your own life.

00:43:28.000 I want you to think about that.

00:43:30.000 If if if someone were to murder Alex or murder me, they already murdered themselves in that action.

00:43:36.000 They already bestowed the punishment upon themselves.

00:43:39.000 We are simply completing the task.

00:43:41.000 And think about it.

00:43:42.000 Some people will say, but Charlie, you know, it it's not fair because of whatever sob story liberal reason.

00:43:50.000 How is it you know what honestly, no, and I'll just close with it.

00:43:54.000 I'll kind of finish with this.

00:43:56.000 But you know who it's not fair to?

00:43:58.000 It's not fair to the victims.

00:44:01.000 You are cheapening the lives of the victims.

00:44:04.000 You are basically saying the victims die and you get to live.

00:44:09.000 So you get to continue to live, even though you took the lives of others.

00:44:13.000 So, for example, I think it's fundamentally wrong that that creep who killed those four college kids in Moscow, Iowa.

00:44:21.000 That he gets to kill keep living.

00:44:23.000 So he kills four college kids, and he keeps keeps on getting to have life, and those people don't. 0.93

00:44:30.000 In order to say that those people's lives mattered, the only just thing that we could reason ourselves to is to take that person's life.

00:44:38.000 And that is not murder, that is killing, and it's societal self-defense.

00:44:42.000 And let me say God gives to nations and individuals the right to self-defense.

00:44:48.000 In fact, Romans 13, one through seven says that a just government is actually a minister of God, and they do not bear the sword in vain.

00:44:57.000 So when uh the state executes a convicted murderer, uh, That doesn't diminish human life.

00:45:04.000 That actually affirms the value of human life.

00:45:06.000 And let me encourage you.

00:45:07.000 I like to recommend books, and we have a uh a conviction.

00:45:10.000 We never recommend a book unless we ourselves have read it at least once.

00:45:14.000 I'm gonna recommend two ethics books.

00:45:16.000 One was written by my mentor in grad school, Norm Geisler.

00:45:20.000 It's called Christian Ethics.

00:45:22.000 Ah Yeah, he wrote uh I don't have enough faith to be an atheist, Dr. Geisler.

00:45:27.000 Christian ethics, it was published by Baker, it's phenomenal.

00:45:31.000 The other, this book is probably the best introduction to Christian ethics by the late Dr. Robertson McQuilkin.

00:45:38.000 He was president of Columbia Bible College.

00:45:40.000 Uh Biblical Ethics, published by Tyndale.

00:45:43.000 Both Geisler and McQuilkin go into depth on the Christian view of the death penalty for convicted murderers.

00:45:50.000 And listen, we've done evangelistic crusades at 24 maximum security prisons.

00:45:56.000 I've been to death row in Virginia.

00:45:58.000 I've been to death row in a number of states.

00:46:01.000 Many convicted murderers are brazen because they know they're gonna game the system, they're gonna spend decades and tons of money, they're not going to have to give an account for the life that they took.

00:46:12.000 I've I've had a lot of conversations with people on death row.

00:46:15.000 And let me say I I love people, I want people saved, but we need to have a lawful society where justice is carried out and carried out uh consistently, and um it is a deterrent, the death penalty for convicted murderers, if it were utilized, it actually is a deterrent and makes for a safer America.

00:46:36.000 Yeah, and again, just that really important kill and murder.

00:46:38.000 I want you just to, that's the most important thing.

00:46:40.000 Because if you do not read the Ten Commandments, it says do not murder, which is a completely different moral designation in Hebrew than kill.

00:46:47.000 Final question, yes.

00:46:48.000 Let's go over.

00:46:49.000 Oh, I'm sorry, yeah, really.

00:46:50.000 I'm sorry.

00:46:51.000 I have a two-part question.

00:46:52.000 All right, really quick, ma'am.

00:46:53.000 Yes.

00:46:54.000 Yes.

00:46:54.000 Um, because uh uh it says it's um an abomination in the Bible for same-sex marriages or anything in relation.

00:47:01.000 Should we, as people who abide by the Bible, are we should we supposed to avoid or disassociate from people that we know that are in that category?

00:47:11.000 No, you should not.

00:47:11.000 However, you should never affirm it, right?

00:47:13.000 So, a couple couple lies about homosexuality.

00:47:15.000 Number one, people say Christ our Lord never mentioned it.

00:47:18.000 That's not true.

00:47:18.000 Actually, in Mark 7 20, uh Christ our Lord talks about what what is in will will come out.

00:47:24.000 He actually uses the Greek word pornea, which is a catch-all term for sexual immorality, which would be like bestiality, homosexuality, adultery.

00:47:31.000 So Christ our Lord actually rejected using the own coigne Greek of pornea.

00:47:36.000 So that's just number one.

00:47:37.000 Some people have that lie.

00:47:38.000 Also, it's in Romans 1, homosexuality is mentioned.

00:47:40.000 I think 1 Corinthians 6, it's also mentioned, or 16, am I right, Alex?

00:47:44.000 1 Corinthians 6.

00:47:45.000 Yeah, it's 1 Corinthians 6, it's all about um homosexual attraction. 0.98

00:47:49.000 So, no, you should so here's here's the balance, right?

00:47:52.000 It should be the opposite.

00:47:53.000 You should actively minister to people that are in rebellion against God's perfect and pleasing will.

00:47:58.000 You should never affirm it, ever.

00:48:00.000 If someone says, well, again, I there's plenty of homosexuals that I know, and I do everything I possibly can to try to get them to repent, try to get them to know the love of Jesus Christ.

00:48:09.000 I do it by telling them the truth. 0.80

00:48:11.000 And I I I will not, I will never say, you know, oh, you know, game, I I I are you gay married.

00:48:16.000 I reject the term.

00:48:17.000 I think marriage can only between be between a man and a woman. 0.55

00:48:20.000 Not that it I think you could be same-sex attracted, I think you could be homosexually active. 0.62

00:48:26.000 And here's the other thing, though, that's very important.

00:48:28.000 That's the most provocative thing I could say on this topic that most people are afraid to say, which is that we have lost when we start acknowledging that people are gay or they are lesbian.

00:48:39.000 The acceptance.

00:48:40.000 Well, no, hold on.

00:48:41.000 Let me go a step further.

00:48:42.000 It's not an identity, it is an action.

00:48:46.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:48:46.000 So think about it.

00:48:47.000 In the scriptures, it does not say it's an abomination to feel same-sex attraction.

00:48:53.000 It does not say that actually.

00:48:55.000 It does not say it's an abomination to be tempted.

00:48:58.000 It says an abomination to act on it.

00:49:00.000 Right.

00:49:01.000 It says, Thou shall not lay with another man.

00:49:03.000 So such is an abomination to the Lord.

00:49:05.000 It says in Deuteronomy, Deuteronomy, it is an abomination for a woman to dress like a man, for such is an abomination to the Lord. 1.00

00:49:11.000 What I'm getting at, though, it's not an identity.

00:49:13.000 No different than if someone says, Well, Charlie, I'm a serial adulterer, and that's my identity, and I want an entire month of the year dedicated to us, serial adulters.

00:49:20.000 It's called adultery pride month. 0.99

00:49:22.000 It's the month of January, and you must wear my colors.

00:49:26.000 And if you don't, you're a hater.

00:49:28.000 We would like we should laugh at that.

00:49:30.000 What we've allowed is we've allowed it to become an identity when it is an action.

00:49:35.000 Those are two completely different things.

00:49:37.000 Alex.

00:49:38.000 Homosexuality. 0.96

00:49:39.000 Homosexual activity is not an ethnicity.

00:49:42.000 And uh let's go over here to the side.

00:49:44.000 Thank you.

00:49:45.000 Thank you, ma'am.

00:49:45.000 I'll sign those books later if you'd like.

00:49:46.000 Okay.

00:49:47.000 Thank you.

00:49:48.000 You know, I would.

00:49:49.000 I thought this place was real cool when I walked in, and then I got in that line and started sweating.

00:49:53.000 So I'll you know.

00:49:56.000 Anyway, um, thank you so much, Mr. Kirk, Mr. McFarland, for what you do.

00:50:00.000 Uh I'm blessed that I sit under a pastor that preaches sin.

00:50:04.000 I sit under a pastor that preaches prepare the soul so he can cast the seeds and it'll grow in us, and I thank him for that.

00:50:12.000 But my question, and I emailed you, Mr. Kirk, and it got kicked back a week later.

00:50:17.000 Tried the White House, got no response, but um the um autopin subject.

00:50:25.000 Is it not required that there's witnesses that witness the auto pen and even uh uh EO that Donald Trump signs?

00:50:34.000 I mean, I've transferred a lot of property in my career, and I have to have it notarized.

00:50:39.000 It has to be recorded.

00:50:41.000 Somebody has to witness that I'm giving selling this property or buying this property.

00:50:47.000 I hear nothing about that about the executive orders who's in control of the auto pen for Joe.

00:50:52.000 So that's a really good question.

00:50:54.000 We do not know.

00:50:54.000 The courts have never ruled on an auto pen case.

00:50:57.000 However, uh the courts have ruled a president can rule something without witnesses.

00:51:03.000 It because the constitution is very clear.

00:51:05.000 The president shall decree.

00:51:06.000 If the president does it in a room alone and writes a note, and then he dies five seconds later, that note is valid.

00:51:12.000 It does not require a notarization because constitutionally says a president shall, not a president plus a committee or president plus a notary.

00:51:19.000 The autophough is very interesting.

00:51:21.000 Because we have no evidence the president did decree it.

00:51:24.000 Right.

00:51:24.000 So you are correct in that way.

00:51:26.000 It's a little bit of the opposite of your question, which is that we just haven't we have an example of an auto.

00:51:32.000 Does everyone know the autopen thing?

00:51:33.000 It's a very yeah, okay.

00:51:34.000 If you don't know, it's a growing scandal that the last couple of, and I'll tell you why it matters.

00:51:39.000 The last couple of days of Biden's presidency, there were a ton of pardons issued that were signed by the presidential autopen.

00:51:45.000 Now that that and of itself is bad, but if Biden would have had a meeting and he would have been like, hey, I approve all 15 of these pardons, go use the autopen.

00:51:54.000 That probably would pass court muster.

00:51:56.000 Okay, I'll just be honest.

00:51:58.000 Probably, because presidents use auto pen all the time for decrees, ambassadorships.

00:52:03.000 It's just a lot.

00:52:04.000 We do not have evidence though that Biden ever had communication with the auto pen director, the guy that was running the auto pen.

00:52:12.000 So who did and did Biden actually give the green light?

00:52:17.000 And that's where Anthony Fauci comes in.

00:52:20.000 Okay.

00:52:20.000 Anthony Fauci's auto pen, or pardon, was signed by an auto pen the last day of the presidency.

00:52:25.000 So was all the January 6 people of Adam Schiff, who should be in prison, and Liz Cheney, who should be in prison, and Adam Kinzinger, who should be in prison.

00:52:34.000 And so what to do?

00:52:37.000 The Trump Department of Justice should indict the entire January 6th committee, should indict Anthony Fauci and test the pardon.

00:52:45.000 Make it go up to the United States Supreme Court, have the Supreme Court demand any and all available evidence of actually was Joe Biden behind this?

00:52:54.000 And if so, the pardon will be correct, and we'll never talk about this again.

00:52:57.000 I have a seeking suspicion that Joe Biden was not involved in this, that Joe Biden personally signed his son's pardon, and that was the only one he cared about.

00:53:07.000 Remember, he signed the Hunter Biden one, and he didn't care about the other ones.

00:53:11.000 Now, why does this matter?

00:53:13.000 It matters for the most obvious of all reasons.

00:53:15.000 This is yet another example of a gang of criminals that abused our country, stole an election, and nearly robbed our nation without any accountability, and they need to go to prison.

00:53:26.000 Somebody needs to go to jail quickly.

00:53:28.000 Thank you, sir, very much.

00:53:29.000 You're right here.

00:53:31.000 I think this means hi Charlie.

00:53:34.000 I watch all your content.

00:53:35.000 I follow everything.

00:53:36.000 My name's Ashley, and I'm 24, and I have a seven-month-old baby.

00:53:40.000 Um I used to be kind of left-leaning a while back, um, and watching your content kind of has made me a lot more conservative.

00:53:49.000 Um that great, everybody.

00:53:53.000 Phenomenal.

00:53:54.000 Thank you.

00:53:54.000 A lot more toward the abortion area of that.

00:53:57.000 I had gray areas where I didn't know what to think and Everything.

00:54:00.000 I had a very rough upbringing with my mother with drugs and everything, poverty, all that.

00:54:05.000 And this is where I this is my question.

00:54:08.000 I've noticed that a lot of the liberal leaning individuals, they like to ignore the actual victims in situations, and they like to change the subject and throw insults as soon as you mention them.

00:54:18.000 My question to you would be: what is your message to them saying that babies born into poverty and struggle are better off dead when I have an amazing life with my child and my family, and I'm very happy.

00:54:30.000 Thank you.

00:54:36.000 That morality that they articulate is indistinguishable than that of a Nazi guard over Auschwitz.

00:54:45.000 That's that's just the truth.

00:54:47.000 It's indistinguishable than that over a concentration camp. 1.00

00:54:50.000 Those people are better off dead. 1.00

00:54:52.000 Get rid of them, because I know better. 1.00

00:54:55.000 That is the same morality that led us to gulags. 0.69

00:54:57.000 That's the same morality that led us to a hundred million people killed over the la in the 20th century.

00:55:04.000 It's the same that led to eugenics, the same that led to mass excrimination and mass murder. 0.97

00:55:10.000 So their argument, just so everyone understands, is exactly what you would say. 0.99

00:55:14.000 They'd say, Charlie, a baby is born in poverty, just kill it. 1.00

00:55:17.000 It has a bad chance of surviving. 1.00

00:55:19.000 Think about how dark that is. 0.80

00:55:21.000 What they're saying is that a moral worth is connected to how much money you have in the bank account.

00:55:28.000 That if you are poor come into a broken family, you're not totally human, you're like half human.

00:55:34.000 Like you become more human the less debt you have.

00:55:40.000 This is the morality that they teach on college campuses.

00:55:44.000 And I always say, even if you told me that this person was going to have a rough life, it is never an excuse to take that person's life away, because that person is made in the image of God.

00:55:55.000 Now that would be murdering a human life, not killing a human life to the point earlier.

00:56:00.000 But to the left, this is why it's so important.

00:56:02.000 If you do not believe in God, then a human being in utero is just a clump of cells.

00:56:09.000 If you do not believe in God, what's exceptional about a human being?

00:56:13.000 What's different about it?

00:56:14.000 It's just it's just an accident.

00:56:16.000 We're all a miracle, not a miracle, well, just a mistake, not a miracle, as I should say.

00:56:20.000 We as we as Christians, though, we start with, no, no, we're image bearers.

00:56:25.000 Do you know that there is a story you could fact-check me on this?

00:56:29.000 Iceland is bragging that they have eliminated all down syndrome people in Iceland.

00:56:35.000 They're bragging.

00:56:37.000 They're really excited because they test for down syndrome and utero, and they do mandatory abortions for all people that have down syndrome.

00:56:47.000 That is where secularism leads you.

00:56:50.000 A Christian nation looks at that and says, that's Nazism. 0.73

00:56:54.000 That's eugenics. 0.99

00:56:55.000 We fought a war against it.

00:56:57.000 That's against everything that we believe.

00:56:59.000 I believe everybody, we can never waver on the abortion fight.

00:57:03.000 Ever.

00:57:04.000 The fight for life is fundamental to who we are.

00:57:08.000 And some people say, Charlie, I'm tired talking about it.

00:57:11.000 Well, that means you're tired of fighting evil, so get out of the fight.

00:57:14.000 Nothing is more important than fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves. 0.99

00:57:18.000 Every single one of you are here because somebody was pro-life.

00:57:23.000 Somebody in your life was pro-life to give you life.

00:57:25.000 The four big objections to life, I'm sorry I'll go too long on this.

00:57:28.000 They say size, level of development, environment, degree of dependency.

00:57:32.000 S E L D, sled, you can remember this, okay?

00:57:34.000 All four do not stand up to any sort of rational or reasonable muster.

00:57:38.000 Size, I'm taller than Alex. 0.89

00:57:40.000 Does that mean I get to exterminate him?

00:57:41.000 Most of the guys in this room are taller than Alex. 0.61

00:57:44.000 Okay.

00:57:45.000 But of course not.

00:57:46.000 I don't get more rights the taller I get.

00:57:48.000 How about level of development?

00:57:50.000 I'm older than my three-year-old.

00:57:51.000 Do I get more rights than my three-year-old when it comes to human dignity?

00:57:54.000 Of course not.

00:57:55.000 How about environment?

00:57:56.000 I live in Scottsdale.

00:57:58.000 You live in Myrtle Beach.

00:58:00.000 Does that mean that I get more rights because I live in Scottsdale?

00:58:02.000 Of course not.

00:58:03.000 How about degree of dependency?

00:58:04.000 This is their favorite.

00:58:05.000 This is the one they really latch on to.

00:58:06.000 Well, Charlie, the baby is dependent on the mother. 0.84

00:58:09.000 Therefore, you could be able to eliminate it.

00:58:11.000 Under that belief, anybody here that has a dialysis machine, you should be going death row.

00:58:16.000 Anybody here that has a caregiver, you should go on death row.

00:58:19.000 Anybody here that requires, how about I don't know, a two-year-old, my two-year-old is not yet self-reliant.

00:58:23.000 I'm trying to teach her to hunt and gather. 0.81

00:58:24.000 We're not there yet.

00:58:27.000 Every single there is no good Pro-abortion argument.

00:58:31.000 It does not exist because at its core, it is a spiritual asymmetrical attack to try to wipe out the thing that comes from Jesus Christ and God directly, which is life and life itself.

00:58:41.000 And isn't it contradictory, Charlie?

00:58:43.000 Even the most pro-choice person, I mean what a contradiction.

00:58:46.000 Uh like Hillary Clinton, who has been so pro-abortion, but she is glad that at least one human in history was pro-life, i.e.

00:58:55.000 her mother.

00:58:55.000 Otherwise, who would she wouldn't be here?

00:58:57.000 But you know what?

00:58:58.000 Um, I had a friend I debated him, his name was Christopher Hitchens.

00:59:00.000 He was an atheist.

00:59:01.000 Uh we tried to win him to the Lord.

00:59:03.000 I don't know that it ever came to the Lord.

00:59:05.000 But even the atheist Christopher Hitchens, we were emailing up until two days before he died.

00:59:10.000 He he became very vocal in his pro-life stance, much to the chagrin of his fellow atheists.

00:59:16.000 But he said, look, the uh declaration, uh bill of rights, declaration, preamble, constitution, bill of rights, guarantees the right to life.

00:59:25.000 Uh the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness, said Hitchens, means nothing if they're not first predicated on life.

00:59:32.000 And he said, if we can just arbitrarily deny the constitutional protection for life, legal protection for the unborn, if we can just arbitrarily remove that from a subset of the community, w who's to say that we won't at some later point remove your right to life and your right to life.

00:59:50.000 Even an atheist, Hitchens, who was a pretty logical guy in many ways, he became pro-life.

00:59:56.000 Um, and that really, and we've not even invoked Christianity yet, because uh college uh professors will say, Well, don't enforce your Christianity on me.

01:00:05.000 I think you can defend legal protection for the unborn without even opening the Bible.

01:00:10.000 It it's just natural law and the Constitution.

01:00:14.000 That's right.

01:00:14.000 Well said, I want to tell you guys about why Refi.com, that is Y R E F Y dot com.

01:00:21.000 Why ReFi is incredible.

01:00:23.000 Private student loan debt in America totals about 300 billion dollars.

01:00:26.000 Why Refi is refinancing distress or defaulted private student loans?

01:00:29.000 You can finally take control of your student loan situation with a plan that works for your monthly budget.

01:00:34.000 Go to why refi.com, that is why refi.com.

01:00:36.000 Do you have a co-borrower?

01:00:38.000 Why ReFi can get them released from the loan?

01:00:40.000 You can skip a payment up to 12 times without penalty.

01:00:43.000 It may not be available in all 50 states.

01:00:45.000 Go to why refi.com, uh, that is Y R E F Y dot com. 0.98

01:00:49.000 Let's face it, if you have distress or default to student loans, it can be overwhelming.

01:00:53.000 Because of Privacy Loan Debt, so many people feel stuck.

01:00:56.000 Go to Y Refi.com.

01:00:58.000 That is Y R E F Y dot com. 0.98

01:01:01.000 Private Student Loan Debt Relief, Y Refi.com.

01:01:06.000 Uh, let's go over here.

01:01:08.000 Charlie, uh, clearly you have a gift from the Lord, so thank you.

01:01:11.000 And may the Lord continue to bless you, your family, and the ministry as you use it for his glory.

01:01:16.000 So God bless you.

01:01:17.000 Thank you.

01:01:18.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:01:18.000 Um, you were talking a little bit earlier about COVID.

01:01:21.000 Um, I want to thank you personally, and and probably a lot of you heard in here, but during COVID, you shared uh our obedience to the government actually does not come from the government itself.

01:01:30.000 But we are uh, you know, we have a government that's for the people and by the people.

01:01:34.000 So thank you very much for making that very clear during COVID.

01:01:37.000 So thank you.

01:01:39.000 Um I have a question for you, and it might take a little bit of thinking, but um if you think over the last year or two, a lot of people ask you questions.

01:01:48.000 Um can you think of a time that someone kind of challenged you to the point where you had to maybe rethink something or maybe change uh a view on what you had before and and uh what that was and how that came to be.

01:02:01.000 Yeah.

01:02:02.000 I used to think Canada's the 51st state was a good idea.

01:02:05.000 LAUGHTER APPLAUSE I will see.

01:02:12.000 But I came to the realization we have way too many libs already in this country.

01:02:18.000 So that would be one thing.

01:02:22.000 I'd have to think about that.

01:02:23.000 I mean, look, I have so many exchanges and so many dialogues.

01:02:27.000 I've had some look, uh I encourage you guys to check out the longer form videos on our YouTube channel too, because the you know, the short clips they go viral.

01:02:35.000 But we have very respectful, long conversations as well that sometimes don't always get the same virality that are phenomenal.

01:02:43.000 You really see where the kids are coming from, you can really see how they're presenting their ideas, and so uh yeah, and then I will uh you gotta have to think about that.

01:02:52.000 I'll revisit it on a Charlie Kirk Show podcast.

01:02:54.000 So can can I officially say that I stumped you?

01:02:56.000 Is that what you're uh admitting?

01:02:58.000 I I did answer the Canadian one.

01:03:00.000 Okay, all right, that's true.

01:03:01.000 You have stumped me.

01:03:02.000 God bless you both.

01:03:03.000 Thank you.

01:03:03.000 You could say you wrecked Charlie Kirk.

01:03:06.000 Great thumbnail.

01:03:07.000 What you got, bro?

01:03:08.000 How are you doing, Mr. Kirk?

01:03:10.000 Uh I got two things to uh ask you, and then one request if I can make that.

01:03:15.000 Um first thing is I'm a junior in high school.

01:03:18.000 Um just going into junior year in a couple days, so getting nervous about that.

01:03:23.000 But uh going into high school, um, I was never offered any scholarships, at least that weren't with anything in relation to color of my skin or where I came from.

01:03:37.000 There's a lot of people that go to my school, and we're an ethnically diverse school, which is great.

01:03:41.000 I love having conversations with people from different backgrounds, but I feel because of my race and because of my heritage, I'm not getting the same treatment.

01:03:52.000 People that are of African American descent are getting pushed.

01:03:55.000 I mean, not having merit-based scholarships in a school is very hard for a private school, especially my poor mom who has to pay uh I mean so much money here to send me to uh school, which I'm so grateful for.

01:04:06.000 It's a wonderful community, but it's very hard to express my concerns to them without you know being labeled or being told that I'm a racist or I'm a bigot, and especially at my young age, that's hard for me to hear.

01:04:18.000 Um what school is it?

01:04:20.000 Uh St. Edward High School.

01:04:22.000 Cleveland, Ohio.

01:04:23.000 So all you're from Cleveland.

01:04:25.000 Great, glad you're here, man.

01:04:26.000 Thank you.

01:04:27.000 Um the question is, how do you navigate that basically?

01:04:31.000 Or how do I navigate it or um bring up my concerns in a way, not that I should say, because I'm not worried about offending anybody, but um, you know, in the most respectful way I can.

01:04:41.000 And then I just have one.

01:04:42.000 Yeah, I mean, look, first let me just kind of add on what you're saying.

01:04:45.000 There is a concerted war on our young white Christian men in this country.

01:04:50.000 Yeah.

01:04:50.000 And it's wrong and it's terrible.

01:04:52.000 No, there is no scholarship that exists for you.

01:04:55.000 But until Trump came along, if you wanted to go to Harvard, you could go into Harvard with a far lower score if you were a black woman than if you were a white man. 0.65

01:05:04.000 That's wrong for that's bad for everybody, okay?

01:05:06.000 We should have admissions that are based on merit and character, not skin color and race.

01:05:13.000 Diversity should not matter when it comes to college admissions, and it certainly shouldn't matter for pilots, air traffic controllers, the United States military, and president of the United States, might I add. 0.89

01:05:26.000 It does not matter.

01:05:28.000 And so you're not from South Carolina, right?

01:05:33.000 So we have a house down here at my home down here.

01:05:35.000 Well, I do want to talk because it's actually important.

01:05:37.000 So the if you were in school in South Carolina, my answer would be a little bit differently, so I want to give you that answer.

01:05:42.000 I find that too many white Christians in the South overcompensate and are so afraid of being called racist that you invite some DEI racist, not like anti-white stuff way too easily in the South.

01:05:59.000 And I don't know if you guys agree with that or not.

01:06:02.000 It's true.

01:06:03.000 It happens, and it does you can simultaneously, you don't have to like I don't know, raise the you know your fist for like the South will rise again.

01:06:12.000 Okay, fine, whatever.

01:06:13.000 I while also being like, okay, I'm not gonna apologize just because I'm white.

01:06:18.000 I'm not gonna do that. 0.97

01:06:19.000 I'm not gonna play that game to just bend a knee and to just kind of give in to this, quite honestly, this secular humanist garbage of race politics. 0.94

01:06:31.000 So what is the solution? 0.68

01:06:33.000 No more DEI in our schools, no more affirmative action, we need no more disparate impact. 0.56

01:06:39.000 And the final thing is this, which is I would love to live in a country where no one talks about race, but think about how ridiculous these categories are. 0.95

01:06:47.000 White? 0.96

01:06:48.000 What does that even mean?

01:06:50.000 What is an Italian have in common with a Russian?

01:06:53.000 Well, they're both white. 0.66

01:06:55.000 What does a Bulgarian have in common with a Swede?

01:06:58.000 Well, they're both white. 0.66

01:07:00.000 The entire idea of racial categorization is flawed from the beginning.

01:07:05.000 It shouldn't even exist when you think about it.

01:07:07.000 Like someone who is Greek is white, and someone who is British is an Anglo is white, someone who's French is white, and someone who is Slovenian is white. 0.58

01:07:16.000 You're talking about a whole continent.

01:07:19.000 All it is, it's a means to end for massive population control.

01:07:23.000 That's what it that's really at the core of what it is.

01:07:25.000 So we gotta get this next question.

01:07:27.000 I know you got a second part.

01:07:28.000 But I will just say this.

01:07:30.000 Speak your mind, keep speaking out, it will improve your character.

01:07:33.000 And if they call you a racist, you need to lean in and say, what do you mean by that exactly?

01:07:37.000 That's number one.

01:07:38.000 And what evidence do you have for that claim?

01:07:41.000 Say those two things.

01:07:42.000 And then say, but you're the ones talking about race all the time.

01:07:46.000 You're the bigot.

01:07:47.000 I'm the one just trying to have a better life.

01:07:49.000 Thanks for shopping.

01:07:51.000 That's what you should say.

01:07:52.000 Can I add one more thing really quick?

01:07:53.000 Do you mind if I do my Trump impression for you?

01:07:55.000 And can you rate it out of 10?

01:07:56.000 All right, fine.

01:07:58.000 Well, look at these wonderful people in the audience.

01:08:00.000 We have some wonderful people.

01:08:01.000 And look how attractive Charlie looks up there.

01:08:04.000 Oh my god, and Alex, what a wonderful guy.

01:08:06.000 And I love all these people.

01:08:07.000 I see a lot of hats, and it's good hats.

01:08:09.000 They're probably the best hats.

01:08:11.000 And I love you, Charlie.

01:08:12.000 Thank you, man.

01:08:13.000 Very good.

01:08:13.000 That's a 10.

01:08:14.000 That's a 10.

01:08:15.000 Awesome.

01:08:16.000 Woo! 0.99

01:08:18.000 Awesome.

01:08:19.000 Very good.

01:08:20.000 So we have time for a couple more.

01:08:22.000 The lightning round.

01:08:24.000 Let's go quickly.

01:08:24.000 I want to.

01:08:25.000 Let's go, but let's go super quick.

01:08:26.000 Let's go speed round.

01:08:27.000 Speed round.

01:08:28.000 Pretty easy questions for you here, Charlie.

01:08:30.000 I wanted to just thank you for all you do.

01:08:31.000 I don't think there's another human being that affected the outcome of this election more with all your efforts and what you did to move the votes and register people.

01:08:39.000 Thank you for that.

01:08:39.000 And I want to thank you for following the line of another great American who passed away today, Dr. James Dobson.

01:08:44.000 Yes, he meant to mentor.

01:08:46.000 And um, we appreciate all you do.

01:08:48.000 A couple of quick questions, though, or can you give us a bit of an update on the uh condition of Dr. uh of Dennis Prager?

01:08:55.000 Yes, Dennis isn't Dennis is in rough shape.

01:08:58.000 Uh, you should keep praying for him.

01:09:00.000 He uh remains at a hospital in Atlanta.

01:09:01.000 He suffered a terrible neck injury.

01:09:03.000 Dennis is one of my closest friends in the world.

01:09:05.000 He's a mentor, he's a great friend.

01:09:07.000 By the way, you should read Dennis Prager's Rational Bible series, it will change your life.

01:09:11.000 It's about the Torah, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy.

01:09:14.000 He doesn't yet have Leviticus finished.

01:09:16.000 But keep on praying for Dennis.

01:09:17.000 Um he's in tough shape.

01:09:20.000 Well, we'll continue to pray for him, and I wanted to ask you again how is your relationship with Candace Owens?

01:09:25.000 She's a great friend.

01:09:26.000 You know, she's look, I don't agree with everything Candace says, but you know what I don't do?

01:09:29.000 I don't stop being friends with people just because people morally blackmail me.

01:09:33.000 I don't do that, and you shouldn't either.

01:09:35.000 I look, I have different views on on things as Candace.

01:09:38.000 I have different views on Israel than Candace.

01:09:40.000 I have different views on a lot of geopolitics.

01:09:42.000 But honestly, I traveled the country with Candace.

01:09:44.000 I went to her wedding, I saw her meet her husband.

01:09:46.000 I went to Israel with Candace, which is a fun story, I'll tell you at some point.

01:09:49.000 Um but what I don't like is when people demand you must stop being friends with somebody.

01:09:54.000 Whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:09:55.000 That's a left-wing tactic.

01:09:57.000 Don't do that.

01:09:58.000 I'm not saying you do that, but other people do that.

01:10:00.000 We should never resort to that.

01:10:02.000 In fact, if you believe what I with I believe, shouldn't you want me to be friends with people that don't agree with us?

01:10:07.000 Shouldn't you want me to also be a tool of influence?

01:10:10.000 And so I I think the world of Candace, she's a great mother.

01:10:13.000 She certainly has very, very fun opinions at times, and she's a great talent.

01:10:19.000 She says a lot of stuff that sometimes I don't agree with, but that's what makes the relate our relationship and our friendship interesting.

01:10:25.000 My advice to all of you you might not like somebody, but never tell somebody like me to stop being friends with somebody on an interpersonal level just because of disagreement.

01:10:33.000 It's bad, it's what the left does, and we should rise above as conservatives.

01:10:36.000 Thank you, someone.

01:10:37.000 Let's go right here.

01:10:38.000 Yes, sir.

01:10:39.000 Yes, sir.

01:10:40.000 Thank you guys.

01:10:41.000 Uh my name's Dan.

01:10:42.000 Um you could tell from my New York accent, I'm from South Carolina.

01:10:47.000 And uh I just want to say I'm a big fan.

01:10:49.000 I thank you.

01:10:50.000 You come on my feed every day, so I see you every day.

01:10:53.000 I am sick of the word club with cells, but that's neither here nor there.

01:10:58.000 Anyway, uh the thing that really bugs the heck out of me is the the labels Democrat and Republican.

01:11:06.000 Why does that exist?

01:11:08.000 I think it really should be.

01:11:11.000 My my big thing is it's we should turn that triangle around, and on top is we the people.

01:11:19.000 That's what really matters.

01:11:20.000 I don't care left leaning, right leaning.

01:11:23.000 I just want you to deal with the people and their issues.

01:11:28.000 The other thing is why is there a such thing, like in the Supreme Court, we've got liberal judges and conservative judges.

01:11:39.000 The law is the law.

01:11:41.000 Can you explain to me why a line of law comes out differently for each party?

01:11:46.000 Your wonderful question, sir.

01:11:48.000 And but everything you just said is how it should be and how it was, but how it no longer is.

01:11:54.000 It was a country that's dead, and it died, and we don't know the death, we don't know exactly when, but 30 or 40 years ago, a moment happened when they decided to destroy Clarence Thomas's confirmation hearing.

01:12:06.000 I think the country changed for the worse.

01:12:09.000 Joe Biden oversaw a public lynching.

01:12:14.000 According to Clarence Thomas, it's a high tech lynching of a black man, where they decided to change the U.S. Senate for good.

01:12:20.000 They decided to divide the country based on political parties, and now we have just been responding to it.

01:12:25.000 It should be we the people.

01:12:26.000 However, I will say it's we the people versus an insurgent force that does not share our values.

01:12:33.000 When people want open borders, they want trans surgery for kids, they want men in female locker rooms, right? 1.00

01:12:40.000 They want late-term abortions, gun confiscation, anti-constitution.

01:12:43.000 The New York Times just came out last week or a couple days ago.

01:12:47.000 Abolish the Supreme Court, abolish the Electoral College, and get rid of the Constitution.

01:12:51.000 You guys can fact check me on it.

01:12:52.000 That is the New York Times.

01:12:53.000 So it's guess what?

01:12:54.000 It's we the people versus the Marxists.

01:12:58.000 It's we the people versus this insurgent force.

01:13:01.000 And I do want to get to this before I'm just going to say in a painting, I got to throw it out here, Alec.

01:13:05.000 These are not the opinions of Alex McFarland ministry, so you guys can, but I think Lindsay Graham's got to go.

01:13:10.000 I'm sorry, you guys need a new U.S. Senator here in the state of California State South Carolina.

01:13:14.000 I'm sorry.

01:13:15.000 You guys can heckle me.

01:13:16.000 You guys can boo.

01:13:17.000 I don't care.

01:13:18.000 But you guys need a new senator here in South Carolina. 0.81

01:13:23.000 That's all I'm going to say.

01:13:24.000 All right.

01:13:24.000 Thank you.

01:13:24.000 Amen.

01:13:26.000 Good evening, J. Thank you.

01:13:28.000 I have a quick question.

01:13:29.000 Coincidentally, it's the same question that uh Charlie Kirk asked on Twitter about two days ago.

01:13:33.000 Okay.

01:13:33.000 What is an American?

01:13:34.000 And maybe a quick follow-up.

01:13:35.000 Yes.

01:13:36.000 Um, so in a we are still finding the best one-liner to this.

01:13:39.000 I get someone who is not an American.

01:13:41.000 An American is more than paperwork. 0.98

01:13:44.000 If you think someone becomes an American just because they have their paperwork filled out, our country's done. 1.00

01:13:50.000 Zoran Mamdani is not an American.

01:13:52.000 He's not.

01:13:53.000 He's something else.

01:13:55.000 Zoran Mamdani is a foreign influence with Marxism and Islamism coming to America's greatest city. 0.99

01:14:00.000 But he is, he has a U.S. passport.

01:14:03.000 What I'm getting at everybody is a deeper question that we've ignored for the last 50 years because of mass migration.

01:14:08.000 Just because you have a U.S. passport, does that make you an American?

01:14:11.000 You might technically be an American, but you don't share our values. 0.85

01:14:14.000 You hate our Constitution.

01:14:15.000 You don't know our founding.

01:14:16.000 There's a Greek word called thumos.

01:14:17.000 It's one of my favorite words.

01:14:18.000 It's the spirit, it's the soul.

01:14:20.000 We really don't have a good English equivalent for it.

01:14:22.000 The first thing for an American is you must be all in for our country, our traditions, our people, our heritage, our language, our future.

01:14:32.000 You must not have dual loyalty, no do dual citizenship.

01:14:35.000 You must demonstrate through other markers.

01:14:38.000 This is your home.

01:14:39.000 This is your future.

01:14:40.000 And for some of us, it's our past.

01:14:42.000 My family got here in the 1620s.

01:14:44.000 My family fought in almost every major war.

01:14:46.000 Revolutionary war, civil war, we might have been on different sides, but we're together now, everybody.

01:14:49.000 That's fine.

01:14:50.000 Um point being we have reduced Americanism down to, well, have you filled out your paperwork?

01:14:57.000 And the left doesn't even believe that.

01:14:59.000 They believe Americans just at the presence of being in the United States of America.

01:15:04.000 So what is an American?

01:15:05.000 The best way I can answer it.

01:15:07.000 It is someone that has demonstrated through objective measurements and markers that this is home, that you have more than respect or reverence, that you're willing to die, that you are all in, that this is a place that you're willing to bleed for and sacrifice for.

01:15:21.000 This is not a dumping ground for the third world.

01:15:24.000 This is not a social experiment.

01:15:26.000 You are you are you you had a tear in your eye on July 4th, that you worship God, not Allah, that you have you have a you have a sense of weight and responsibility, that you care about your fellow neighbor.

01:15:40.000 An American is more than just someone that has U.S. passport.

01:15:44.000 And I think we we need to get better at articulating it, defining it, and defending it, and removing people that are not Americans that call themselves Americans in the United States of America.

01:15:54.000 Thank you so much.

01:15:55.000 Amen.

01:15:55.000 And we need to teach our children patriotism.

01:15:59.000 And we salute the American flag, and we realize that this nation is a gift from God.

01:16:04.000 And it's time, and I want to challenge my fellow pastors and Christian leaders that we in the church promote patriotism.

01:16:11.000 Amen.

01:16:12.000 And the stewardship of the country.

01:16:13.000 Yes, ma'am.

01:16:14.000 Lightning round.

01:16:14.000 Thank you, sir.

01:17:11.000 You can find out more about Pastor Allen and the ministry at Alan Jackson.com forward slash Charlie.

01:17:20.000 Okay, so you just answered a lot of my question.

01:17:23.000 I was born in England.

01:17:25.000 I came here when I was three years old.

01:17:27.000 My father moved us over.

01:17:30.000 I uh was sworn in when I was 16 to become a citizen, and then I joined the Marine Corps, and I was sworn in.

01:17:38.000 God bless you.

01:17:39.000 One of three thousand women in the Marine Corps.

01:17:43.000 And then I was sworn into the post office.

01:17:46.000 I was sworn into this country three times.

01:17:48.000 And my question is is how you answered it.

01:17:52.000 How do we become get people to love this country?

01:17:56.000 Yes.

01:17:56.000 And I'm not from here, but this is my country.

01:18:00.000 I died this country.

01:18:03.000 Amen.

01:18:04.000 And we need we need more like you.

01:18:07.000 We need to have expectations out of those that come here.

01:18:11.000 We need to expect something.

01:18:13.000 We need objective markers.

01:18:15.000 In fact, if you come here, there should be a 10-year provisional waiting period where we where you have to show us that this is your home.

01:18:21.000 That by the way, you start embracing Marxism, bang, gone.

01:18:24.000 You all sudden start like, oh, you know, I'm gonna start an Islamist movement. 0.92

01:18:27.000 No, no, we don't have to put up with this. 1.00

01:18:29.000 We're suckers. 0.80

01:18:30.000 We have the loosest immigration policies in the West when it comes to this stuff.

01:18:34.000 You should not invite your future people the captors.

01:18:38.000 Why are you why are you gonna go invite people that are gonna be holding you hostage?

01:18:42.000 Anyway, God bless you.

01:18:43.000 Thank you so much.

01:18:44.000 Wonderful story.

01:18:44.000 Thank you.

01:18:45.000 Thank you.

01:18:46.000 We've got about five minutes.

01:18:48.000 Yes.

01:18:48.000 Five minutes.

01:18:49.000 Okay, thank you for coming, Charlie.

01:18:50.000 And I had a quick question about anti-Semitism online.

01:18:54.000 Another questionnaire they asked about Candace Owens, and you know, I was I'm a big fan of you.

01:18:58.000 I was a big fan of her, but she's obviously been going down this anti-Semitic bent.

01:19:04.000 And I through her, I'm kind of finding out about these other characters online, like Nick Fuentes, I'm sure you've heard of him.

01:19:10.000 And these people, they they've been active for a long time, and it seems like they've just been ignored, which is working, but now they're kind of surging in popularity.

01:19:18.000 And as someone who I enjoy watching your debates, is are they people you'd be willing to engage with and maybe shut them down in a way through a debate or something like that?

01:19:28.000 Well, I mean, I'm not gonna debate Candace.

01:19:30.000 Um, but no, look, I'll debate anybody that shows up at our campus events first and foremost, but I do want to take what you say and extrapolate it.

01:19:36.000 That there is a corner of the internet of people that want to point and blame the Jews for all their problems.

01:19:42.000 Everybody, this is demonic and it's from the pit of hell, and it should not be tolerated. 0.98

01:19:46.000 Period.

01:19:47.000 But it goes to a deeper, more structural problem of an entire generation that has economic resentment, they don't own anything, they're not getting married, they're not having children, they're depressed, they're anxious, they're staring at their screens all day long.

01:20:00.000 And if all of a sudden your extrapolation of all that is, well, it's the Jews' fault, that is sloppy and shallow thinking. 0.73

01:20:08.000 And not only that, they say, oh, it's the Jews' fault. 0.81

01:20:11.000 Okay, let's let's kind of play this out. 0.97

01:20:13.000 Well, tuberculosis.

01:20:14.000 That used to kill about a billion people.

01:20:16.000 You know, it's a group of Jewish scientists that came up with the antibiotic that cured tuberculosis. 0.99

01:20:21.000 How about CPR, the MRI machine?

01:20:23.000 You know those were 500 million lives that were saved over the last 50 years because of people that were Jewish scientists that were working on things. 0.71

01:20:29.000 They'll never say, thank you, the Jews, but they'll always say, shame on the Jews.

01:20:33.000 It's weird how that works. 0.98

01:20:33.000 And finally, they always blame the Jews for stuff. 0.98

01:20:37.000 Jewish people are an ethnicity.

01:20:39.000 So therefore, definitionally, you have people that are secular, orthodox, religious, that are all over the spectrum.

01:20:47.000 You're trying to blame an entire ethnicity for a singular problem.

01:20:50.000 Hold on, let's take a step back here. 0.97

01:20:52.000 Instead of that, what are what could you possibly do in your own personal life to improve your own state of being?

01:21:01.000 If you are blaming eight, let's point zero two percent of the world's population for all of your problems, that is not going to be good for your soul.

01:21:09.000 It's not good for your psychology.

01:21:10.000 It's not good for your future in any way, shape, or form.

01:21:14.000 And so I would just say this that any young person that goes into this hyper online brain rot, you are serving yourself over to your own demise.

01:21:25.000 You are serving yourself into a suicide mission that will not make you happier and not make you healthier.

01:21:32.000 Instead, here's what your attitude should be.

01:21:34.000 Your attitude should be like, I can't own stuff.

01:21:36.000 I got it, can't own a home, that not getting married, I don't know who to date.

01:21:40.000 And said, wow, the challenges are immense.

01:21:43.000 I'm gonna now overcome all those challenges and go on an adventure.

01:21:47.000 I'm gonna prove everyone wrong.

01:21:48.000 I'm now not gonna be a victim, I'm gonna be a victor.

01:21:51.000 I'm gonna dig deep.

01:21:52.000 This is still a great country.

01:21:54.000 This is a free country.

01:21:56.000 I'm gonna use my agency, I'm gonna use my ability, and I'm not just gonna go point in the corner and be like, I'm overweight because of the Jews. 0.97

01:22:05.000 Women don't want to date me because of the Jews. 1.00

01:22:08.000 How about this?

01:22:09.000 As Jordan Peterson would say, sit up straight with your shoulders back, follow the rules for life, make yourself interesting, learn something new every single day, and instead of pointing at a small group of people and engaging in this brain rot, become a better person.

01:22:24.000 You'll be a happier and healthier, more joyful and productive person because of it.

01:22:29.000 Right on, quickly.

01:22:30.000 Welcome.

01:22:31.000 Hi, my name's Lizzie.

01:22:33.000 Um I just graduated and I just moved here from Pennsylvania, and I just recently started watching your Instagram rules.

01:22:40.000 And um I just have like a couple things to throw out before I get to my main question so I don't waste any time.

01:22:46.000 Um I was gonna ask about Bill Gates and his um population issue.

01:22:51.000 Um, Project Bluebeam and Freemasonry, the demonic side of it. 0.90

01:22:58.000 And from the Bible, um, the Jewish idiom, no one knows the day or the hour. 0.71

01:23:03.000 Um, it's a reference to the Feast of Trumpets for when Jesus returns.

01:23:09.000 Um I was just wondering what your view on the tribulation is.

01:23:12.000 Um the book in the book of Genesis, there's a seven-year famine.

01:23:19.000 Take it away, Charlie.

01:23:23.000 Great question.

01:23:26.000 Thank you.

01:23:27.000 I'm not making fun of you, by the way.

01:23:28.000 It's a very sweet question.

01:23:30.000 Uh, as I said, I'm pan-trib, right?

01:23:32.000 There's pre-tribulation, post-tribulation, I'm pan-trib.

01:23:35.000 I'm focused on what we need to do as Christians.

01:23:38.000 I want people that are much smarter than me, like Alex McFarland and Jack Kibbs to focus on the end times and focus on eschatology.

01:23:45.000 All I care about is what does God want us to do?

01:23:48.000 How does God want me to act?

01:23:50.000 He wants me to be a good father, a good husband, a good citizen, and a fighter for his causes, to love God and to love people.

01:23:59.000 Everybody has their role, everyone has their corner, everyone has the place that they want to focus on.

01:24:05.000 I will just say, I'm not sure it's not you.

01:24:08.000 Overfocusing on the tribulation can create apathy and can create paranoia.

01:24:17.000 Paranoia and apathy is not of God.

01:24:21.000 It is not a fruit of the spirit.

01:24:22.000 So just be careful when you engage in that.

01:24:24.000 Thank you.

01:24:24.000 We got to get to the next question.

01:24:25.000 Thank you so much.

01:24:26.000 And yes, Bill Gates wants to control the population and have less people.

01:24:29.000 You're right.

01:24:30.000 So, yes.

01:24:30.000 Quick, let's go quick.

01:24:31.000 Lightning round, let's go.

01:24:33.000 Last three questions are right here.

01:24:35.000 Yes, sir.

01:24:35.000 You're on.

01:24:36.000 Charlie, first of all, thank you.

01:24:38.000 Uh, three years ago, we started Turning Point Faith of the Grand Strand.

01:24:42.000 And uh, Pastor Chris Honeycutt's here in the audience tonight.

01:24:46.000 He allowed us to come to his church and do it because he was a pastor who was willing to stand for something.

01:24:51.000 You gotta go quick.

01:24:52.000 My church wouldn't.

01:24:52.000 Would you talk about the kinds of pastors and the kind of believers and what we need to do?

01:24:57.000 Fine.

01:24:57.000 Three types of pastors.

01:24:58.000 There are true pastors, pastors that are in the mold of Alex McFarland, there are trembling pastors that are shaking like a leaf all the time when you dare mention something political, and then there's traitorous pastors, those that have the gay pride flags outside of their churches. 0.80

01:25:10.000 The traitors need to be forgotten, the forgotten, the trembling needs to be ministered to.

01:25:14.000 How many of you go to a trembling church?

01:25:16.000 Raise your hand if you know the type.

01:25:17.000 Yeah.

01:25:18.000 You need to confront your pastor if you go to a trembling church and be, why are you so afraid?

01:25:23.000 Why are you not speaking out biblically?

01:25:25.000 We need more true pastors that are talking about the word of God, talking through a biblical worldview every single day that are unafraid to go verse by verse, chapter by chapter, what does the Bible say?

01:25:36.000 Why does it say it?

01:25:37.000 And then most importantly, making sense of the news through a biblical worldview.

01:25:43.000 Because if the churches are not doing that, and if the pastors do not do that, your congregation will go find secular non-Christian ways to make sense of this ever confusing world. 0.61

01:25:52.000 God bless you.

01:25:52.000 Two more questions, yes.

01:25:54.000 Yeah, I wanted to ask you in your career, you've had a lot of people that you've met, and in that career, have you met any people that have fallen away from the faith that you have experience trying to talk to them and trying to bring them back to Christ?

01:26:07.000 Um I'm sure there is, but honestly, thankfully, my experience is the opposite.

01:26:12.000 I'm I'm surrounded by people like Russell Brand, that is now a committed Christian, an amazing believer.

01:26:19.000 Um I'd have to think about that.

01:26:23.000 But yes, backsliding does happen for sure.

01:26:26.000 But I'd definitely have to think about that.

01:26:27.000 It's a great question.

01:26:28.000 Thank you.

01:26:28.000 Final question.

01:26:30.000 Um I have two main questions.

01:26:32.000 Really quick.

01:26:32.000 Okay.

01:26:33.000 Uh this is something that's like always made me anxious.

01:26:36.000 So I was wondering if you had an answer to this in the terms of like uh an abortion mindset.

01:26:41.000 And the conversation between who to save in terms of like complications during childbirth, which like the mother or the child would you say is more the I guess the godly choice to save, like in that.

01:26:53.000 So, yeah, got it.

01:26:53.000 So it's a little bit of a false choice because you can have a cesarean section and lift the baby out, thus saving the mothers, um, thus saving both the lives.

01:27:02.000 You should always try to save both lives, but in that situation, for example, if you have an ectopic pregnancy or the uter on the wall uh rips, you should save the mother's life.

01:27:10.000 And then one last question.

01:27:12.000 Well, I believe the Republican Party is the better of the two when it comes down to it.

01:27:16.000 As humans, there are problems on both sides.

01:27:18.000 I was curious to know you if you have any personal problems with the Republican Party, and if you're how much time would you have?

01:27:26.000 Uh if if you do, how would you make like I guess since we're low on time, the like biggest ones in your mind, how would you make those changes?

01:27:35.000 Well, I would start by retiring Lindsay Graham from the state of South Carolina.

01:27:43.000 Um the Republican Party is better than the Democrat, but the Republican Party's not good.

01:27:49.000 Remember that.

01:27:50.000 The Republican Party is not as pro-life as it should be.

01:27:53.000 It does not support deportations nearly as much as it should.

01:27:56.000 The Republican Party spends too much money.

01:27:59.000 We are way too in debt.

01:28:00.000 We're spending way too much money.

01:28:02.000 The Republican Party locked down the country too much during COVID.

01:28:06.000 The Republican Party pushed the vaccine too much during COVID.

01:28:09.000 The Republican Party has been responsible for the Iraq war and the Afghanistan war, the Syria debacle, and partially Libya, that's mostly Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

01:28:19.000 The Republican Party is far too invested in giving Ukraine more and more money while our own country continues to fall apart.

01:28:26.000 So look, I could go on and on and on.

01:28:29.000 However, this is why we support President Trump, and with it, we'll vote for some Republicans, because President Trump fixes so many of those things.

01:28:36.000 President Donald Trump stands for mass deportation, strong border, amazing tax cuts, no tax on tips.

01:28:42.000 He wants to by the way, he's trying to solve this Russian-Ukrainian war.

01:28:45.000 He's already solved seven wars, everybody.

01:28:47.000 They should give them the Nobel Peace Prize right now.

01:28:50.000 This guy, blessed are the peacemakers, as it says.

01:28:52.000 Republican Party needs to go more in a populist nationalist direction, in a constitutionalist direction.

01:28:59.000 We need to be a party of and by and for the American people, not for foreign interests, not for foreign invaders, not for foreign invaders.

01:29:06.000 Not for some sort of aim or some abstraction of diversity.

01:29:09.000 And I'll just close with this.

01:29:10.000 The Republican Party at its best is fighting, is defining, is conserving the Republican Party as its worst.

01:29:19.000 They're the ones that are all of a sudden trying to always sue for peace against the American left.

01:29:23.000 We are the majority of this country.

01:29:25.000 We won the popular vote.

01:29:26.000 The young people are with us, everybody.

01:29:28.000 Our values are rooted in the natural law and common sense are in read it rooted in reason.

01:29:33.000 Our values have stood the test of time.

01:29:36.000 We should not apologize for them.

01:29:38.000 We should not back away because of them.

01:29:40.000 We should play offense.

01:29:41.000 We should constantly be trying to persuade and convince, expand, encourage, and where necessary, push back on the American left.

01:29:49.000 And so I want a new Republican Party.

01:29:51.000 I want to see J.D. Vance become the next president of the United States.

01:29:58.000 Hey, I'm gonna ask everybody to be seated.

01:30:00.000 Just keep you seat just for a minute.

01:30:02.000 And uh we're gonna let Charlie take a break here. 0.71

01:30:05.000 And before you step away, Charlie, first of all, thank you for your questions, everybody.

01:30:10.000 To get up in front of nearly 2,000 people is is gutsy, and we we thank you.

01:30:14.000 But I Charlie, I know I speak for everybody here and for millions of Americans and really people throughout the world.

01:30:20.000 We admire you.

01:30:22.000 You represent hope.

01:30:23.000 Your courage is contagious.

01:30:25.000 You inspire us, not only for uh patriotism, but to pursue the Lord Jesus Christ.

01:30:32.000 And can we just with utter sincerity affirm and appreciate this man of God, this patriot, Charlie Kirk?

01:30:43.000 Yeah, thank you.

01:30:44.000 Yeah.

01:30:45.000 God bless you, everybody.

01:30:46.000 Charlie Kirk, everybody.

01:30:48.000 Thank you.

01:30:48.000 Turning point USA, Charlie Kirk, right there.

01:30:56.000 Pray for this man.

01:30:58.000 Amen.
