00:00:00.000Hey everybody, just a couple days ago, I was in Calvary Chapel, Chino Hills, speaking with the great Jack Hibbs about a lot of stuff happening in our country, including where do we go from here?
00:00:10.000What are the action steps we need to take?
00:00:13.000We go through that, including what does the Bible say about times like this.
00:00:17.000My friend Jack Hibbs, one of the most courageous, clear-thinking, and amazing pastors in the country, hosted me generously again at his church, Calvary Chapochino Hills.
00:00:28.000Thank you guys for allowing our staff and our team to be able to do what they do.
00:00:56.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:02.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:26.000Protect your personal data from big tech with a VPN I trust for my online protection, ExpressVPN.
00:01:32.000I use ExpressVPN on all of my devices.
00:01:35.000You see every device, whether you're on the phone, laptop, or TV, has a unique string of numbers called an IP address.
00:01:42.000When you search for stuff, watch videos, even click a link, big tech companies can use that IP to track all of your activity and tie it back to you.
00:02:57.000Charlie, the nation and the year that's ahead of us, probably more than ever, certainly more than in my lifetime, is the fact that with what we've gone through and where we're heading, the church and for not only the church, but Americans need to hear encouragement.
00:04:32.000Really, in a stunning turn of events, I would have loved to have seen President Trump transition to TikTok when all other options were exhausted.
00:04:40.000The very company he was trying to kick out of the country.
00:04:45.000It's felt as if the hits have just kept coming.
00:04:48.000And yet, I refuse to do anything but be committed to good cheer, positivity, and optimism.
00:04:53.000And some people have been, Charlie, are you delirious?
00:04:57.000Like, no, I understand completely what's going on in our country.
00:05:01.000But let's also take a step back and ask ourselves the question, Jack: is it as bad as it feels?
00:05:14.000A couple of them are going to be up in 2022 in very tough races in Arizona and Georgia.
00:05:19.000They have one blue dog Democrat, Joe Manchin.
00:05:21.000Nancy Pelosi did not get 244 seats in the House of Representatives.
00:05:25.000She only enjoys a seven-seat majority at most on certain days, depending on who shows up.
00:05:31.000And the incoming administration has pledged and promised unity.
00:05:38.000And they were not, and we'll get to exactly what they mean by unity because it's actually something very specific.
00:05:44.000And it's important that we all know, because it's not the unity that you might think, because their definition of unity is the absence of opposition.
00:05:53.000But they have no mandate to govern with a far-left-wing agenda.
00:05:57.000The only reason, well, there's a couple reasons, that they got in even from a policy perspective was that I am not the other guy.
00:06:04.000And of course, there's all the, let's say, shenanigans and tomfoolery and gamesmanship, which we can dive into here, that obviously played a role in all of that.
00:06:13.000Not to mention the fact that social media was a completely corrupted enterprise throughout the entire election where you could not even talk about Joe Biden's son without losing your Twitter account in the month of October.
00:06:25.000They do not have a mandate to govern with the iron fist that they're preparing to govern with.
00:06:30.000They barely control our government, barely.
00:06:33.000But they're acting as if they have 66-seat majorities.
00:06:37.000And so we also need to take a step back and say, in a year where we were supposed to get blown out of the U.S. Senate, I mean, lose seats that we've never lost before.
00:06:46.000We advanced in the U.S. House of Representatives.
00:06:48.000We won seats here in California, and you guys deserve credit for that.
00:06:54.000Young Kim, Michelle Steele, Mike Garcia.
00:07:55.000I have a mixed theory on that because I'm totally supportive of us maxing out the battleground states, but don't forsake the battle in front of you.
00:09:00.000We, across the country, this is the first time since 1907, that the incoming president has less seats in the House of Representatives, meaning he had no coattails whatsoever.
00:10:30.000There's two states that are big problem childs that are back in play almost instantaneously, Arizona and Georgia, that have got to fix the way we do elections in this country.
00:10:38.000And that's got to be priority number one.
00:10:40.000This mail-in ballot nonsense has got to stop when we are just throwing ballots all over the place.
00:11:16.000But if anyone else out there that doesn't have booming, wonderfully flourishing churches doesn't know what that's like, the point is that you don't have the infrastructure to be able to facilitate that.
00:11:46.000Where kind of a scribble is more acceptable than actually what exactly it says in your driver's license.
00:11:51.000These sort of kind of boring, inconsequential, more legal fights never concerned us as conservatives.
00:11:57.000Because what exactly it's in the courts?
00:12:00.000And all of a sudden we realize in an election on the margins, when you have 20,000 votes being rejected, when 97,000 votes were rejected back in 2016, that's the difference between winning and losing Georgia and with it the United States Senate.
00:12:13.000And that has to be one of the top marching orders there.
00:12:15.000But here's the other thing that I think is really promising: is that the Democrats did not win anywhere on any of their ideas or policies.
00:12:24.000The only places that they won was pretend, just pathologically hating Donald Trump and running on moderate policies.
00:12:32.000They did not win on any of the things that they are now espousing in the United States Senate.
00:12:36.000Nowhere did people show up and say, you know, I want a Democrat so we can have a robust debate on gender pronouns in the United States Senate.
00:12:43.000No one showed up and they said, you know what?
00:12:45.000I want a Democrat because I think it's about time we say a woman after we say a prayer in the United States Congress.
00:12:51.000You guys know what he's talking about, right?
00:12:56.000No, they're just getting started, right?
00:12:59.000And that's one of the other reasons I have hope, and we'll get into that.
00:13:02.000But if conservatives play their, if we do things the right way, and if we don't allow them to break our will, here's one promise I have for you tonight.
00:14:24.000Yeah, and that's the other takeaway and the hope that I have right now.
00:14:28.000And I pray we can be more in lockstep than the Democrats because now they're going to fight over the feast.
00:14:34.000And they don't have a lot of margins to fight over the feast.
00:14:36.000We're talking about a 50-50 tie that would require calling in the vice president to break that tie, which is no small feat to just go through that and the filibuster is still intact.
00:14:46.000And that would take Manchin and Mark Kelly and Tester to all agree to vote on that, which is it's easier said than done.
00:14:53.000And the Democrats are now actually going to have to demonstrate to the American people what exactly they believe and why they believe it.
00:15:01.000You have the keys to the kingdom, Joe Biden.
00:15:05.000Kill thousands of jobs, Keystone XL Pipeline, Dakota Access Pipeline.
00:15:08.000Mask mandate that he doesn't even honor himself when he goes to the Lincoln Monument.
00:15:12.000It took him like an hour to violate that.
00:15:16.000The U.S. Israel Embassy Twitter account got changed and changed back from U.S. Embassy to Israel to the U.S. Embassy to Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank.
00:15:26.000That's just like in the first five hours.
00:15:27.000So I got criticized for putting up fake news when I put that up about the embassy.
00:15:44.000But they got so much flack on the first day on the job.
00:15:48.000They got so much flack from people seeing that and responding and going ballistic on the fact that they diluted that office from being the ambassador to Israel to the ambassador of being Israel, Palestine, and Gaza.
00:17:41.000Canada's freaking out because they're looking at losing incredible amounts of money.
00:17:47.000What was sad today is that with this decision, there's a, and you might know the number exactly on the front end, but there's an immediate 8,000 or 9,000 jobs lost.
00:17:57.000And then very, very soon, because of Keystone, 43,000 jobs are going to be immediately dissolved in the United States.
00:19:11.000So Charlie, the Bible tells us God says in his word in Daniel chapter 2 that I'm the Lord, I am God, and I set up kings and I take kings down.
00:19:19.000What's very interesting to this is that this church knows that I was arguing how much we need to as a nation get back to the Constitution.
00:19:28.000Of course, as a church, we need to get back to the Bible.
00:19:32.000As a nation, we need to get back to the Constitution.
00:19:35.000Listen, the Bible is the birthplace of the Constitution.
00:19:42.000One feeds the other and one defends the other.
00:21:41.000This church stands every day by God's grace because the powers that be out there would shut us down in a second, and they're sharpening their swords as we speak.
00:21:50.000We stay open by the grace of God every day.
00:21:54.000And here's the truth, and God's been so good.
00:21:57.000The truth of the matter is, by God's grace, we stood.
00:22:05.000If you, as a church out there in America, if you didn't make the cross over into the new year standing, I don't know if you're going to get a chance to stand again.
00:22:23.000And I just want to put a cry out to churches: you really need to open up now because there's a high probability that you may never be granted the freedom to do that from the government again.
00:22:37.000And if you're waiting for the government to give you permission to open up, I don't think it's going to come from this current administration.
00:22:45.000I just don't think it's going to come.
00:22:48.000And I plead with Christians and churches: if everyone opened up right now as it were, if we believed in the last moment, in the last days, we could take our last stand.
00:23:01.000And it could be epic for the kingdom of God if we, the church, rallied in America to preach the gospel one more time.
00:23:20.000And I mean, there's an honest assessment that needs to be done.
00:23:24.000As I mentioned, this church did everything right.
00:23:27.000And if every church was as prayerful and alert and involved as this church, especially in this last election, things would have looked a lot differently.
00:23:37.000Especially look at the state of Georgia, state of Georgia, where you have pastors that are coming out and they are saying, we don't like the whole culture war Christianity thing.
00:23:46.000We're not going to get involved in this election when we know the stakes.
00:23:49.000And now all of a sudden you see the stakes of what happened.
00:23:51.000Where you have the Christian rapper Lecrae, who comes out and campaigns for Raphael Warnock, the pro-abortion advocate.
00:23:59.000That's the guy who we're listening to on Calov, Lecrae, who we're supposed to look up to, who, in my personal opinion, should never be allowed to perform in another church after advocating for Raphael Warnock.
00:24:12.000Who, for Lecrae, who's a Christian rapper, he wanted to be loved and accepted by the Democrat power establishment more than standing up for truth, the pro-abortion Raphael Warnock.
00:24:26.000When it happens to the church in America, and there's three categories of churches right now in the country.
00:24:32.000There's those that are apathetic and scared, refuse to open, and they remain disengaged.
00:24:37.000There are churches that still remain somewhat closed, but they're almost become left-wing instruments of activism.
00:24:44.000And those are, I wish they were apathetic, actually, because they're misapplying the text for something that is quite, I believe, dangerous for the country.
00:24:53.000And then there's churches like yours, Jack, and like Rob McCoy and James Cadiz and Pastor Juergen from San Diego and John Randall and Greg Denham.
00:25:10.000And it was just illustrated to me beautifully by Pastor Greg.
00:25:14.000And it was this, is, do we want cruise ship Christianity or battleship Christianity?
00:25:21.000And that's, if we're honest with ourselves, the way that the gospel has been mistaught or taught incorrectly, is a better way to say it, to congregants across the country and Christians is the gospel will free you of all earthly responsibility.
00:25:38.000You can go take a vacation endlessly on a cruise ship and you're never going to have to worry about anything again.
00:25:43.000When in reality, it's like, no, once you give your life to Jesus, now you buckle up and you go into the conflict.
00:25:50.000Now you go into the difficult situations.
00:25:52.000Now you're going to contest for the people that do not have a voice, for the people that need salvation, for the churches that need to open.
00:26:01.000And some pastors are saying, well, I don't want the church to get involved in politics.
00:26:07.000They must be reading or ignoring different parts of the Bible than I am.
00:26:11.000How are they supposed to reconcile of the heroes in the Old Testament that are portrayed as heroes that got involved in secular government for God's will, such as Daniel, Esther, Mordecai, Jeremiah, Nehemiah, just to begin the list, where all of them got involved for God's purpose in secular government?
00:26:28.000How are they supposed to reconcile what Jesus Christ said at Caesarea Philippi when in the original Koigne Greek, Jesus Christ said, on this rock build my, we say church, but the actual Greek term is ecclesia.
00:26:39.000Ecclesia was a secular Greek term that literally was what we're doing tonight, talking about what's happening around us, finding a way to try and make sense of the chaos as active citizens.
00:26:52.000And you know what the Greeks used to have as the two big words when they gathered in an ecclesia?
00:26:57.000Eleutheria and isonomia, which means freedom and equality.
00:27:02.000Jesus knew what word he was using when that was in God's word.
00:27:06.000He didn't use the secular word synaguge.
00:29:40.000If a candidate, I don't care what color they are, I don't care what status they are, I don't care what party they're with, if they have policies that honor God in the word, they're going to get my vote.
00:29:56.000And so as believers, listen, there is a real movement now being engineered.
00:30:02.000Charlie can talk about it better than I can.
00:30:04.000The cannon, did you ever see those World War II movies where they're cranking the cannon, the guy's going like this, cranking the cannon, and the cannon's going like this?
00:31:04.000Listen, no one should be more able to deflect attacks than the Christian.
00:31:13.000We know what our mission is, and that is to bring every man, woman, boy, and girl into the love of God and the forgiveness of Christ into heaven.
00:31:31.000One more thing before Charlie jumps in here.
00:31:34.000He mentioned about being a light or shining.
00:31:38.000And I thought, how precious is a candle?
00:31:42.000When you're walking around and you need, you know, when your power's out, do I need to tell you that in California?
00:31:49.000The next time your power goes out, and if you have a candle, have you noticed how much you protect that candle when you're walking around down the hallway or wherever you're at in the kitchen?
00:32:27.000We need to enshrine for Christ and ensure our witness for Jesus, lest we find ourselves, right, not illuminating any light at all, not being a light in a dark place at all.
00:32:41.000We need to protect that light and protecting that light is exactly what we talked about, opening up, being bold in the Lord, being strong in him.
00:32:49.000But by all means, Christian, find your voice.
00:32:53.000And this is where you find your voice right here, okay?
00:32:59.000And to the point, Jack, of what you're saying, if you think about it, the left, which is just a filler term for the current power structure, and it's different than liberals.
00:33:12.000Classical liberals, people that value freedom of speech, that are okay with differences of opinion, that the way liberals should be and the way they used to be, where they might be more socially liberal on certain issues, but they will fight tooth and nail to make sure you're able to still assemble and speak.
00:33:31.000We now have leftists running our government, which is a completely different philosophical way of looking at the world.
00:33:37.000And if you think about it, what is the one thing they do not control currently?
00:34:13.000And he's now going to be going on the United States Senate invoking the name of God, using scripture to justify one million abortions every single year.
00:34:24.000And so for pastors that say, well, I don't like getting involved in politics, well, hold on.
00:34:29.000Politics is coming to your church whether you like it or not.
00:34:32.000And the reason they say that, I'm going to say this as lovingly as I can, Jack.
00:34:37.000The reason they say that could be for a couple reasons.
00:34:40.000The first reason, I'll give them the most benefit for the doubt, the benefit of the doubt.
00:34:43.000They don't know politics and they're a little intimidated by it.
00:34:46.000I think some pastors fall into this category.
00:34:48.000I think some pastors are like, ah, I don't quite get it.
00:34:53.000Ask questions, find people that do understand it, because we're more than willing to pour in knowledge about something that, quite honestly, isn't that hard to wrap your hands around, okay?
00:35:02.000What they're really saying when they say that, though, is this is a little too controversial for me.
00:35:07.000I kind of like the whole expanding our budgets and building bigger buildings while we're not a political church, as some churches in this 30-mile radius will say.
00:35:21.000And yet, they're the first ones to say that America's a systemically racist country, that we have to go march in the BLM Incorporated march.
00:35:29.000And they go and just without any basis whatsoever, start to apologize for their whiteness, which is something that happened in a church not too far from here.
00:35:41.000And so they don't want the controversy.
00:35:46.000And so, Jack, and I think that everyone here recognizes and realizes this: if the left gets the church, we're done.
00:35:54.000They are working harder to infiltrate the church than the American church is just trying to influence, not even infiltrate, American government.
00:36:04.000They are doing everything they can through false teaching in seminaries, through getting Christian rappers like Lecrae just completely and totally just hypnotized by this Raphael Warnick nonsense and garbage.
00:36:41.000That's a pretty easy way to be able to differentiate it.
00:36:45.000And so the American church right now, here's the irony of it too, Jack, which I think you've kind of demonstrated, is that Americans right now are inundated with politics everywhere we go, everywhere.
00:36:59.000And whether it's politics in social media, politics at work, politics in sports, right?
00:37:04.000You can't watch a football game anymore without someone saying, you know, you're a racist, right?
00:37:28.000We have marriage ministries, we have prison ministries, we have youth ministries, we have summer camp ministries, we have ministries that help clothe and feed the poor.
00:37:39.000Yet the one thing that is dominating the American conversation, which is politics, most churches say, no, no, no, we don't do that.
00:37:46.000So are we supposed to trust you with anything you say if you're not trying to make sense of the political arena?
00:37:50.000And Jack, that's why your church is flourishing.
00:37:52.000Because you've had the courage to stand up and say, I will tell you what's going on in the world.
00:37:58.000And you deserve to be rewarded for that.
00:37:59.000I'm blessed, and you will be blessed for that.
00:40:35.000And so we're moving toward, don't be surprised if you hear more and more in the next four years about state-compliant churches, churches that don't speak about anything that gets the state's attention.
00:40:53.000If you talk about, and this is one of the biggest things I want to just try to get everyone in an active posture about, because we got way too much to worry about to just kind of go through the whole self-pity thing.
00:41:03.000And trust me, I did that for like 10 minutes and I cut it out, okay?
00:41:06.000So I understand it because we got some real serious things that we have to make sure do not get implemented.
00:41:12.000And let me tell you, and I've been talking about this at length on my podcast, and very few conservative commentators are actually talking about this right now.
00:41:18.000Tucker Carlson's one of the few that has really been phenomenal on this.
00:41:22.000But if you listen to Joe Biden's inaugural address and you listen to even how MSNBC responded to it, they said, I heard him declare war.
00:41:39.000It would be one thing if he said, there are these groups of people that are living in this part of the country, and this is the threat that they pose, and this is why we must do something about it.
00:41:48.000Instead, the language that he used is political extremism.
00:42:05.000And so bills that are already being introduced in Congress, I want you guys to listen very carefully about this, are almost carbon copies of the post-9-11 Patriot Act, where now they want a new domestic war on terror that could be an endless war here in the country.
00:42:22.000They love endless wars, but this one will not take the kind of positioning in the Kandahar Valley.
00:42:30.000This one can happen right here in Camarillo, California.
00:42:34.000And we have the Fourth Amendment for a reason.
00:42:37.000So that government has to get a warrant before they spy on you or they kick down your door.
00:42:43.000And so what is beginning to be proposed because of the tragic events on January the 6th that no one in this church supports philosophically or morally is now grouping 75 million people into an event and saying, because of that, we must now have increased power.
00:43:01.000By the way, we already have 52 domestic terrorism laws on the books in this country, 52.
00:43:06.000But they want a new law that's primarily being pushed by Congressman Brad Schneider from the 10th Congressional District of Illinois that would give increased power for monitoring, surveilling, and potentially infiltrating groups.
00:43:21.000You had a person that used to run an intelligence agency use this term, that the problem, amongst other things, are libertarians and religious fundamentalists.
00:43:34.000They could categorize every person that is in this room as a religious fundamentalist.
00:44:44.000Go to a judge and say you're going to do that.
00:44:46.000You want to go infiltrate a Christian or conservative group?
00:44:48.000Go use one of the paths that already exist.
00:44:50.000That by the way, we know they can be abused because they use it to spy on President Trump.
00:44:54.000That we now have to understand the nuts and bolts of the U.S. Constitution.
00:44:59.000Because I'm telling you right now, everybody, what they're trying to do is use the United States security apparatus to try and end disagreeable Christians and conservatives.
00:45:07.000And don't take my word for it, they're saying it out loud.
00:45:09.000So let me just put a huge wet blanket over all this.
00:45:28.000I mean, let's be honest, and I'm sorry to say this because I know agents here at this church who are incredibly precious, diligent, fantastic Christian men and women who are federal agents.
00:46:55.000And I'm wondering now, when you have corporations like Twitter and Google and all these guys who believe they are so big and powerful that the Constitution no longer applies to them because they're a bigger country than the United States, here's my wet blanket.
00:47:15.000I'm wondering if we are just waking up to the realization that the Constitution actually bled out and died maybe five, six, seven, eight years ago.
00:47:29.000And we're just now realizing that the body's cold.
00:47:33.000You've got to believe in the Constitution.
00:47:36.000You've got to not be lawless, but submit to it.
00:48:15.000And if you don't understand what it stands for and what it means and where those rights come from and the importance of it.
00:48:21.000And Jack, I do want to reinforce something.
00:48:23.000There are thousands and tens of thousands of heroic federal agents in our country that are the boots and not the suits that go after the worst types of people in our country.
00:48:33.000And actually saddens me because they've been smeared by a small subset of people in Washington that decided to abuse our security apparatus.
00:48:41.000There are people right now in this community, in this neighborhood in LA, where they wake up every day and they go to work for the Bureau and they're like, how do I get child sex traffickers in prison?
00:51:30.000Has not happened since the early 1900s, where so few controlled so much, and computer processing power was non-existent when J.P. Morgan Chase existed, right?
00:51:40.000When he lived in Rockefeller and Carnegie.
00:51:42.000They had a lot of industrial power, but they didn't really have the power to go shut up someone on the side of the street.
00:51:47.000You go think of Andrew Carnegie, he didn't have the power to say, I don't like what that guy's opinion is.
00:51:51.000They'd say, I'm sorry, we have a First Amendment in this country.
00:52:02.000And so I want to just go through a thought exercise with you guys for a second.
00:52:05.000We have two governments: one that is private, and I put that in air quotes, one that controls communication, and one that you have elections and you're able to have some voice.
00:53:40.000One day, three $1 trillion companies that have really nothing to do with the social media space-one in hardware primarily, one in search engine ostrichization, and one that controls servers-colluded together and said, You shall not exist.
00:53:57.000And they basically wiped off parlor from the face of the universe no different than Star Wars getting rid of a planet.
00:54:30.000But my question is: why didn't some legal entity to protect us say to them, if you censor one more American citizen, we're going to yank your license to be able to function in this country?
00:54:53.000So one of the main reasons that we allowed these tech companies to get so powerful is, and this is just an honest assessment that we have to take in the conservative movement, is we were handcuffed for this false idea of free market principles.
00:55:43.000And so, what it's ended up being is that we've hid behind these free market principles.
00:55:47.000And now, not having a free market, you have three $1 trillion companies that control everything.
00:55:53.000And so, here, and here's the other part of it: that's the grim reality: is that these massive companies started to staff all of their companies with graduates from college campuses that learned to hate the country and were well equipped to be able to use that newfound power.
00:56:24.000You're earning $400,000 a year, and your job is now you've been given the task and the capacity, a button where you can make Calvary Chapel Chino Hills disappear instantaneously.
00:56:37.000And we're supposed to believe they're not going to abuse that power.
00:56:39.000That's why we're conservatives after all, right?
00:56:41.000We think government's going to do that to us.
00:56:43.000Of course, Silicon Valley is going to do that to us.
00:56:45.000And so, we're in this new environment.
00:56:48.000And I'll tell you the positive of it, Jack.
00:56:49.000Where the only positive after what happened, because Amazon hosted the servers, they took Parlor down.
00:56:54.000Google said you're no longer in the Android store, Apple said you're no longer in the Android store.
00:56:58.000Three different CEOs, three different formation documents, three different ticker symbols, all simultaneously said you're done.
00:57:05.000But here's the one thing they did wrong, and I think they realize it: they did this way too fast.
00:57:10.000Where I used to have to go around the country and persuade people around the threat of big tech.
00:57:17.000Now I have to tell you what to do about it.
00:58:22.000If somebody, if a group gets together and invents something to compete with Google or whoever, you know, Twitter, the moment that's out, that they are a constitutional loving company, it will decimate Twitter and all those other guys.
00:58:45.000And I'm just hoping that that expedites.
00:58:48.000And it will, because they've just created a 75 million person consumer market that is pretty loyal in their purchasing habits and also has above average median income, right?
00:58:59.000And so probably a bad sequence of decisions here.
00:59:03.000Plus, you're going to get some civil libertarians and some honest liberals over there.
00:59:06.000So you're talking about like 100 million people that are kind of saying, wait a second, I buy everything from three companies.
00:59:13.000And all those companies don't represent my values.
00:59:14.000And the other thing, Jack, is that you're exactly right.
00:59:16.000It's the Genesis 11 truth, which is that anything that is built without God's blessing to try to challenge his authority, God will scatter and crumble.
00:59:27.000They are going, they're trying to build something so big and so great that they'll get confused and scattered, and they don't know what direction they're in.
00:59:39.000But what you're saying segues perfectly into what the Bible talks about in the last days.
00:59:46.000The world is going to have a need, a drive for a global governing empire.
00:59:54.000The Bible talks about that in great detail.
00:59:57.000And it is the medium by which it envelops the world through a one economic system.
01:00:06.000And the Bible tells us that it's not cash, it's not currencies.
01:00:11.000The Bible tells us, think about it, a 2,000-year-old document says that in the last days, the world will do its buying and selling through numerics, numbers, not currency, numbers.
01:00:24.000That no one will be able to buy or sell Revelation chapter 13 in those days unless they have the number of that governing world leader.
01:00:34.000And kind of a little bit of a segue to this is: isn't it interesting right now?
01:00:39.000The world, and I really feel sorry for part of the world right now that's just shaking in its boots because they look to the United States to protect them against China's encroachment upon Taiwan.
01:02:08.000What an amazing time we're in because, you know, we've got high-tech, which I personally believe that that trinity of companies you just mentioned a moment ago, they could pick up the phone and call the White House now and say, you will do what we say because we can make you go away or we could block your communication just like we blocked the other guy.
01:05:09.000It's one of the few things God tells us that He'll give to us generously.
01:05:12.000And so then you have to make the conscious act of, Am I going to resist this temptation right now of just kind of being just unpleasant to be around?
01:05:22.000Am I going to submit to this temptation?
01:05:24.000It says it in James 1 that God will never tempt you.
01:05:59.000Like, I know you went through the Trump thing and it was your first time getting involved in elections, but I've been part of winning elections and losing elections.
01:06:07.000I've been part of the greatest political comeback and upset in American history in 2016 and most disappointing moment when I realized that Donald Trump won't serve more four more years.
01:06:16.000This is a marathon race that we're in right now, right?
01:06:18.000And it's not just like, oh, Trump lost.
01:07:20.000We're talking about fighting for what's right, and nobody knows the day or the hour.
01:07:24.000Again, I hope Jesus comes back tonight.
01:07:27.000But I am fighting, and I always have been fighting for my kids, and then now I got grandchildren, and I'm fighting for them because I don't know when he's coming back.
01:07:38.000So we need to, the Bible says, occupy till he comes.
01:08:42.000But if you're standing for the right thing that honors God, when the wars are all over, then the battle's decided.
01:08:49.000Isn't it interesting that your Bible talks about for you and I going all the way through to the end, he who endures to the end.
01:08:57.000When the battle is all done, then the war is determined.
01:09:02.000But the Bible tells us God has already determined the outcome of the war.
01:09:08.000That's why we fight for the life of the unborn, or we fight to abolish human trafficking because it's an affront to God.
01:09:18.000And what happens in our culture around us?
01:09:22.000See, if you believe that and somebody says you're a jerk, you should sit down, you should shut up, you can't because your cause is greater than your feelings.
01:09:35.000Your mission is greater than your likes.
01:09:42.000All of that stuff that is fluff disappears.
01:09:47.000You must keep fighting for what's right.
01:09:50.000And imagine someday we may lose every battle on this earth and stand before God.
01:09:56.000And he just might say, awesome, you got punched.
01:10:34.000So I think that we have to create everything new.
01:10:37.000We have to have new servers, new phones, new all sorts of different, and we got to have new hardware, and it's going to take a while.
01:10:42.000I am not, I do not recommend social media martyrs.
01:10:46.000I don't like people that intentionally try to violate these ridiculous rules to prove a point.
01:10:51.000I don't think that does anyone any good.
01:10:53.000With that being said, I think that you should try and occupy the current social media channels for as long as possible while alternatives are developed.
01:11:44.000And so for me, I'm going to stay on there till they just take me off.
01:11:48.000And I'm not going to go, I'm not going to provoke.
01:11:51.000I am not going to try and, you know, say, go make a case out of me.
01:11:54.000I'm going to follow their rules, as ridiculous as they are, to try and get as many people converted and also get them to other platforms, right?
01:12:02.000And try to get so that we can have that kind of pathway through.
01:12:05.000You know what's beautiful about what he just answered?
01:12:08.000Apparently, what's happened in the world is exactly what he just said.
01:12:13.000There's the right amount of people, like Charlie, still on, but clearly enough people got off to shake them up.
01:12:21.000So there's a good balance, and we'll see what happens with that.
01:12:23.000Now, coming from the, we do need you to stay on.
01:12:26.000On the other side over here, because you're the producer and I'm the consumer, on my end, what I would like to do, if I ever go back to Twitter, I want them to earn my love.
01:12:41.000No, I want them to say, we're sorry, we'll never do that again.
01:12:45.000And we're going to sign this Declaration of Independence and devotion to the Constitution.
01:12:51.000All right, then maybe I'll go out with you.
01:12:54.000Well, and we've already kind of seen an invisible hand, and it's totally, you know, it's clumsy, but it's working.
01:13:03.000Telegram, which, you know, people just used to use to kind of talk, now has kind of become a replacement social media platform, and they're doing a pretty good job of it.
01:13:12.000And the media is trying to slander a platform, you know, slander Telegram because of some people that do some unseemly things on there.
01:13:19.000But they don't do that for the other tech companies, interestingly enough, and all the nonsense they allow to happen on Facebook and Instagram.
01:13:24.000But Telegram, we now, the Charlie Kirk Telegram, we have 210,000 subscribers on our Telegram.
01:13:31.000And you get all the same content that you would get through all of our aggregated feeds.
01:13:35.000So you would get all of our YouTube, podcasting, and Twitter posts.
01:13:39.000210,000 people subscribe to it, and it comes to you like a text message.
01:13:43.000And you could decide do you want it on notifications or not?
01:13:48.000You could scroll through it at your liking.
01:13:50.000You don't have to go through other comments.
01:13:51.000You don't have to deal through all the censorship.
01:15:02.000You try to get in personal contact with them and you make a plan with other church members or friends and you try to influence local government.
01:15:10.000I guarantee you, very few people can tell me every single one of their school board members and what they're dealing with.
01:15:16.000It's Sally Sue Marie, it's Dave Smith, and it's, you know, John Jones, and they're dealing with whether or not they should put the 1619 project in Chino Hills, and I took them out for coffee and I took them out here.
01:15:34.000Which is learn something new every single day about this beautiful country we live in.
01:15:39.000Remember this, that making yourself more aware of where we came from, the wisdom that preceded you, will make you stronger and better informed of how to deal with today.
01:16:03.000But you're going to make a commitment like you're running on the treadmill that I'm going to learn.
01:16:08.000And that's a thing that we don't talk about enough because if every person here every day dedicated themselves to 10 minutes of learning, all of a sudden unbelievable organic ideas are going to pop up.
01:16:23.000And fascism came from, it's really cultural Marxism, which came from Antonio Gramsci.
01:16:27.000And all of a sudden, you're going to be educating everyone in your local area and you're becoming alert and the left will be kind of walking in the walls and learn something new every day.
01:16:35.000You know what I love about what he's saying, you guys?
01:16:37.000Find something you love regarding this challenge.
01:16:39.000Find something that you love and go for it in this genre.
01:16:44.000And you'll love it because you're learning something you want to know and you'll retain it and become your passion and it will become convincing.
01:16:53.000And that is something that each of you have a slice of, which is so vitally important.
01:16:58.000And one thing regarding the list at the top is the fact that local government matters so much so.
01:17:08.000You look at what's happening in San Jose versus what's happening here.
01:17:17.000You need to, as a believer, you need to groom yourself, get yourself ready to run for the school board when that time comes, to run for congressman or whatever it might be.
01:18:27.000And then all of a sudden, a plan will formulate.
01:18:30.000And so that's why learning is so important.
01:18:31.000And to the listing of your school board members, I want to make sure we get to this.
01:18:34.000As we are having this service right now, a fellow Cavalry Chapel pastor, Pastor Mike McClure, in Calvary Chapel, San Jose, for just opening his church and worshiping Jesus is facing $1.5 million in fines, potential jail time.
01:19:08.000And so pray for Mike McClure tonight because he is standing strong and they are talking about potentially, I don't want to say anything confidential that he shared with us, but really aggressive measures against him.
01:19:54.000And I said, excuse me, but luck had nothing to do with it.
01:19:57.000With all due respect to Grace Church and Pastor John MacArthur, he never taught his congregation to engage in the culture and civic light or responsibility.
01:20:10.000It was just something he just didn't want to do.
01:20:14.000And unfortunately, now they're coping with a very hostile local government.
01:20:19.000Where on the other side, for 30 years, this church has been praying for, contacting local government and county government.
01:20:29.000And getting involved in the elections and letting them know we appreciate a Judeo-Christian worldview value on this next vote or on this next issue.
01:20:53.000And the last box that I encourage everyone to check, and this one might be a little bit open-ended for a lot of you, but one of the left's strategies right now is to break our will and to take strategic chess pieces off the chessboard.
01:21:08.000Certain people that have been a little bit too disagreeable, a little bit too effective, a little bit too bold, and a little bit too courageous, they're going to try.
01:21:17.000Remember, the left, they're in the business of the personalization of American politics.
01:21:24.000Before they go after Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, they're going to try to go after Jack Hibbs because they're going to think if we can just get rid of him, they're going to try to replace it.
01:21:34.000And so that's why I encourage all of you tonight or in the coming days, just take out a list, take out a piece of paper and write a list of the human beings that you have seen gone above and beyond, worked their tail off, and have sacrificed something.
01:21:49.000People like Candace Owens, Dennis Prager, Jack Hibbs, Rob McCoy, people like that have, they've really decided that they're going to expose themselves.
01:22:01.000Because when they do their big push, when all of a sudden the big news agencies and all their power sources say, we want to take that one out now, because I don't like that they're being too effective in the black community or too effective here, get them, because we control everything.
01:22:15.000The question is, will there be a support structure behind them to say no, no, no, no.
01:22:20.000And so you say, well, how do I do that?
01:22:21.000Well, first of all, you pray for them by name every night, you list them, and then all of a sudden you say, huh, what's one way I can support it?
01:22:27.000Maybe with Turning Point USA, it's getting to know the local Turning Point USA chapter leaders and hosting a dinner for them once a month, whatever it is.
01:22:43.000Because without the people that help the fighters, none of this is going to be made possible.
01:22:46.000I really appreciate what Charlie said a moment ago.
01:22:49.000And let me say this in front of this crowd and live, right?
01:22:58.000What they do is they go after and they're going to target the Charlie Kirks and the Dennis Pragers and the Ben Shapiros and the, you know, that.
01:23:12.000I think one of the ways, and in fact, the word of God, I believe, tells us when Paul says in Ephesians 6, put on the whole armor of God.
01:23:24.000Apparently, he has no time in his exhortation to talk to people who put on half the armor of God or just want to walk around with the sword of the all of it.
01:23:40.000And so it's proactive because when you talk about the sword of the spirit, all of the weaponry that the Christian soldier is equipped with in Ephesians 6 is defensive, except the sword of the spirit, which is advanced, right?
01:23:57.000The sword, the word of God, moves ahead.
01:24:00.000Having said that, I want to take the opportunity to say publicly, because I've already been told by friends who are attorneys that you need to get ready now that the way this thing has gone the last few days, Jack, you personally, not you, me, you need to make sure that you're ready for the IRS, ready for false statements being posted.
01:26:03.000And what Jack is talking about is funny in nature at times, but I think we're all laughing because we don't know how else to react to how serious this actually is.
01:26:13.000It's like, yeah, because we, and yeah, precisely.
01:26:18.000And so, but that's where all of you come in and the hundreds of thousands of people watching is that we're going to show the strength of that support network.
01:26:26.000We're going to show the strength of us staying engaged and staying involved.
01:26:43.000One choice is we do a pity party and we disengage.
01:26:47.000And then I guarantee you six months from now, nine months from now, there will be millions of people that want to come back into the Republican conservative movement.
01:26:56.000And we will not have done our job for six months, and we will just be sitting there being like, I thought it was over.
01:27:02.000I felt terrible in January, and I unsubscribed to all the emails, and I told them to stop texting me, and I told them I'm not going to buy another pillow, and I'm done.
01:27:12.000No, no, no, no, buy the pillow, buy the pillow, buy the pillow.
01:27:33.000The more that they try to break our will, the more that they try to metaphorically blitz the conservative Christian movement, we are going to rebuild by day and we will only rededicate ourselves more.
01:27:47.000Because then, in six or nine months from now, when this entrepreneurial genius is just exploding, which I can already feel it, we're going to have new servers, we'll have new phones, we'll have new social media.
01:27:58.000And look, it's going to be messy at first.
01:28:00.000You're going to have like, what was that telegraph?
01:28:51.000Christians, listen, Christians will be turning back to the Bible.
01:28:55.000Churches will be on fire that choose to be on fire.
01:28:58.000I think the Holy Spirit's walking around trying to catch churches on fire.
01:29:02.000And listen, we need every church that teaches the Word of God open and every one church that doesn't stay closed.
01:29:10.000But listen, there is going to be, I believe there's going to be a move of the Holy Spirit because I don't think God's done, I don't think God's done with America in its spiritual covenant with God.
01:29:24.000There could be an amazing last moment of great revival and great awakening.
01:29:46.000But we have some very, very big ideas to bring the model.
01:29:50.000And we think we can do this through some of our expertise at Turning Point to churches all across the country to get more people, more pastors to give them the organizational backing, to give them the leaders and the mentors like Jack to start a Calvary Chapel Chino Hills revolution across the country where pastors are doing this through Turning Point and through our organizing capacity.
01:30:12.000I want you to imagine if by 2022, there are hundreds of pastors that are preaching with the bold conviction of Jack Hibbs.
