The Charlie Kirk Show - Three Lessons from the Book of Exodus: Charlie's Speech to Colorado Christian Academy

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, happy Sunday.

00:00:03.000 I go through three lessons from the book of Exodus and how it relates to today's times.

00:00:35.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:00:36.000 Here we go.

00:00:37.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:39.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:41.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:45.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:48.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:49.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:50.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:00:58.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:07.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:11.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTodd.com.

00:01:20.000 Thank you, everybody.

00:01:21.000 Thank you.

00:01:22.000 Okay.

00:01:23.000 Take a seat.

00:01:23.000 I'm going to close this.

00:01:25.000 Okay, so I want to get to question and answer because I think that's actually the most fun.

00:01:30.000 And I have a feeling there's a lot of questions.

00:01:32.000 There's a lot I could talk about.

00:01:33.000 First, I just want to say there's something really exciting happening in the country where I'm getting invited to speak at schools like this all across the country that didn't exist a decade ago, where parents are starting to rise up and start new communities and start new schools.

00:01:47.000 This is exactly what is necessary in the country right now because it's if there is a woke private school and a failed public school, just start a new school.

00:01:58.000 And we are really good at starting new things.

00:02:02.000 We're really bad at preserving our things from getting captured and infiltrated.

00:02:07.000 That's a separate issue.

00:02:08.000 They're experts at infiltration, experts at destabilization.

00:02:12.000 But I just want to compliment and commend the whole team here.

00:02:16.000 Think really big because the demand is greater than you could ever imagine.

00:02:21.000 I love Colorado.

00:02:22.000 I hate what these people have done to it.

00:02:24.000 And you have to think multi-generationally.

00:02:26.000 You really do.

00:02:27.000 And that's why this effort is so incredibly important.

00:02:29.000 And you have no idea the child that you might be helping educate at Colorado Christian, the impact that they might make.

00:02:37.000 You have no idea if they might be a change maker, an entrepreneur, a senator, a congressman, something beyond your wildest imagination.

00:02:44.000 Or the most important thing, a loyal husband and wife and someone who loves the Lord, honestly, even beyond, you know, a massive changemaker.

00:02:51.000 So I'm going to actually talk about my favorite book of the Bible.

00:02:58.000 I don't think you'll even guess it.

00:02:59.000 It's funny.

00:03:02.000 I love the word and I love what it does to you through different walks of life.

00:03:06.000 And because I'm a glutton for punishment, I've decided to go through the first five books of the Bible in original Hebrew and go verse by verse.

00:03:16.000 If you want a really a big challenge, do that.

00:03:19.000 Just finished Leviticus.

00:03:21.000 That's no fun at all.

00:03:24.000 It's unbelievably awesome as a Christian to read Leviticus for many different reasons, right?

00:03:29.000 And it's amazing.

00:03:31.000 But my favorite book of the Bible is the book of Exodus.

00:03:34.000 And it's not quoted enough or understood enough.

00:03:36.000 And I really think that there's more parallels for what we're living through right now in the book of Exodus than almost any other part of the word.

00:03:44.000 And so, you know, I was studying and studying Exodus and so much pops out.

00:03:48.000 So I'm going to go three lessons that I think we as believers, we as patriots, can derive from the book of Exodus.

00:03:55.000 And some you say, okay, I've heard that one before.

00:03:57.000 But I guarantee you, I'm going to isolate a verse that you've probably never heard any pastor ever isolate.

00:04:02.000 It's just kind of what I call a flyover verse.

00:04:04.000 You know what I'm talking about?

00:04:05.000 Where you just kind of skim, you're like, okay, let's go.

00:04:07.000 It's like the verse before John 3.16, John 3.15, and John 3.17.

00:04:12.000 Does anyone know those?

00:04:13.000 Probably not.

00:04:13.000 Well, maybe in this room, but very few people do, right?

00:04:16.000 It's a flyover verse.

00:04:17.000 So it's first important to remember: Exodus in Greek means the way out, ex hodos, right? 0.63

00:04:23.000 And the actual labeling of the verse is Israelites oppressed or the captivity in Egypt.

00:04:28.000 The whole Old Testament, the first five books of the Bible, of the Word of God, is centered around Egypt.

00:04:34.000 Egypt is actually the villain of the Torah. 0.90

00:04:37.000 Egypt is tyranny. 0.94

00:04:38.000 Egypt is authoritarianism. 0.95

00:04:40.000 Egypt is paganism. 1.00

00:04:41.000 Egypt is godlessness. 1.00

00:04:43.000 Egypt is one-size-fits-all rule. 1.00

00:04:46.000 Said differently, Egypt is the Biden administration.

00:04:48.000 And so.

00:04:49.000 Now, if I offended you, you're in the wrong dinner.

00:04:51.000 I'm sorry.

00:04:54.000 So, and the whole Bible is written, even in Genesis, it's written as a refutation of Egypt.

00:05:03.000 And if you know anything, devout Jews will tell you that the Exodus is the most important thing.

00:05:09.000 Creation and Exodus are the two most important parts of Jewish life, right? 1.00

00:05:12.000 Whether it be the Passover Seder, whether it be the Shema, whatever it is, Egypt is the whole ballgame, right? 0.86

00:05:19.000 And like, remember, O Egypt, remember how we were delivered from Egypt.

00:05:22.000 And I'll dive into that.

00:05:23.000 So there's this amazing thing, and you remember the end of Genesis, right?

00:05:27.000 Joseph does this remarkable stuff.

00:05:28.000 He doesn't do it.

00:05:29.000 God does it through Joseph, and he's just a messenger. 0.51

00:05:32.000 And he basically saves Egypt from famine and from starvation and saves the whole civilization, right?

00:05:37.000 And the first chapter of Exodus sets up the whole, it's what I call the turning point chapter.

00:05:43.000 And we're living through this right now in America.

00:05:45.000 And this is why Christian education is so important and why supporting this academy is so important.

00:05:50.000 And it's a verse that you would just kind of read over and like, okay, yeah, whatever.

00:05:54.000 Then rose a king over Egypt who did not know Joseph.

00:06:00.000 Okay, Charlie, what's the big deal?

00:06:03.000 That's exactly what's happening on university campuses across the country.

00:06:07.000 Then rose a generation that did not know George Washington.

00:06:11.000 Then rose a generation who did not know Abraham Lincoln.

00:06:15.000 You get tyranny when you forget the sacrifices that were made before you.

00:06:20.000 You get tyranny when you don't know your history.

00:06:23.000 Right there, the entire book of Exodus gets set up.

00:06:26.000 So here's Joseph that through God saves them from famine, saves them from starvation.

00:06:31.000 The Egyptians should have statues made to Joseph. 0.98

00:06:35.000 They should have songs made to Joseph.

00:06:38.000 But all it took was one king who didn't have the memory of what Joseph did before.

00:06:43.000 And then what happens?

00:06:44.000 That king rises and everything changes.

00:06:46.000 He says, who are these Israelites?

00:06:47.000 They multiply like insects. 1.00

00:06:49.000 Let's get rid of these guys. 0.98

00:06:51.000 If you fail to pass down your values from one generation to the other, you can quickly, all of a sudden, get authoritarianism, tyranny, murder, genocide very, very quickly. 0.54

00:07:01.000 It can happen in one generation.

00:07:04.000 And I don't think we as Christians isolate this teaching enough because we act as if it happens automatically sometimes.

00:07:10.000 Like, oh, I can send my kid to government school and they'll still share my values.

00:07:13.000 You know, we go to church once a quarter.

00:07:15.000 And, you know, we listen to Christian music, you know, every so often.

00:07:19.000 And, you know, they'll, like, through osmosis.

00:07:21.000 And even in the cocktail reception, I had people come up to me and they say, Charlie, how am I supposed to deal with kids that don't share my values?

00:07:27.000 How did this happen?

00:07:28.000 And my question is always the same.

00:07:29.000 You know it.

00:07:30.000 What college did they go to?

00:07:32.000 Always.

00:07:33.000 And in this case, it was northwestern of Michigan, right?

00:07:36.000 So nice selections.

00:07:37.000 But again, I'm not picking on you guys.

00:07:39.000 It's a very sweet couple.

00:07:42.000 But it was just stood out, right?

00:07:44.000 And you're here tonight because you want your children to share your values.

00:07:49.000 That you want your children to live in liberty.

00:07:53.000 And so that verse right there should be our mission statement.

00:07:57.000 We never want to have a king or a sovereign, the people, ever not know the sacrifices that were made before. 0.96

00:08:04.000 When I visit college campuses, and I visit college campuses, so you don't have to, I am told, Charlie, the founders were a bunch of racist, old, dead white guys. 0.99

00:08:15.000 We're a colonistic, colonialistic, misogynistic, homophobic, terrible country. 0.99

00:08:21.000 That's a generation that did not know Joseph. 0.52

00:08:23.000 So then all of a sudden, they have a willingness and openness for tyranny, for totalitarianism, authoritarianism, because that is actually how we are naturally programmed.

00:08:33.000 I actually didn't plan to talk about this, but it's just a little bit of a side note.

00:08:36.000 The human being wants to be taken care of far more than they want to be free.

00:08:41.000 Freedom is a value.

00:08:42.000 You naturally do not want to be free.

00:08:44.000 And if you disagree, you are not paying attention during COVID.

00:08:47.000 People that were otherwise some of the most rational people that I knew lost their bloody mind wearing masks in a car alone because they wanted to be told what to do.

00:09:01.000 Freedom requires risk.

00:09:03.000 You cannot be free without chance.

00:09:07.000 You can't have both.

00:09:08.000 If you want to have everything taken care of, go commit a federal crime or just become a conservative because inevitably you'll end up in federal prison.

00:09:18.000 And then you'll go to jail.

00:09:19.000 There's no freedom, but there is assuredness at prison.

00:09:22.000 Three meals a day, bunk you don't have to pay for.

00:09:25.000 You don't have to work for what you get.

00:09:27.000 Prison is the opposite of freedom.

00:09:30.000 And so here's the Israelites.

00:09:31.000 They're living in total totalitarianism because a king came.

00:09:33.000 He did not know what the previous generation did.

00:09:36.000 The next verse, Exodus 1.17, one of my favorite verses in the whole Bible.

00:09:39.000 And I screamed this at pastors and I yelled it at pastors.

00:09:43.000 And I was unsuccessful.

00:09:45.000 And I'll tell you why.

00:09:46.000 But the midwives to the Hebrews, is in the original Hebrew it says this, feared God.

00:09:53.000 Now, the verse before it, Exodus 1.16, the king who forgot Joseph was like, hey, murder all the firstborn. 0.98

00:09:58.000 Murder them all. 1.00

00:09:59.000 Kill the babies. 1.00

00:10:00.000 Now, we would know nothing about killing babies in our civilization. 1.00

00:10:02.000 We're way more advanced than that, obviously.

00:10:04.000 We would never do such a thing ever, obviously.

00:10:06.000 Look how advanced we are.

00:10:07.000 We have Twitter and air conditioning, right?

00:10:10.000 So this is, you know, I always laugh when people say the Bible is such a medieval text.

00:10:14.000 We've advanced so far.

00:10:17.000 No, we just do the evil things quicker and better and quieter and more secretly.

00:10:21.000 So, of course, we're more advanced than that. 0.98

00:10:23.000 But the king or the pharaoh says, kill the firstborn. 0.98

00:10:27.000 And I love this.

00:10:29.000 The midwives disobeyed Pharaoh because they feared God. 0.98

00:10:34.000 And it goes on to say that the Hebrew is not a great translation.

00:10:38.000 God dealt well with them or God found favor in them.

00:10:41.000 God loves when you defy tyranny for liberty.

00:10:46.000 That is the heart of God.

00:10:48.000 God wants you to reject tyranny if it engages in somebody's life or interferes with their liberty.

00:10:54.000 A regular woke, skinny gene-wearing pastor will tell you, no, no, no.

00:10:59.000 Romans 13, man, submit to the rulers in authority because God put them there for your good.

00:11:04.000 And then I say, okay, you know, rocket scientist, constitutional scholar, you know, man, you know, your TED Talk rock concert, you know, a thing you call a church with organized parking and a coffee bar.

00:11:14.000 Like, let me ask you, you know, since you're super smart, who are the leaders in America exactly?

00:11:22.000 In Romans 13, God put the leaders in authority because they're there for your good.

00:11:25.000 Who are the leaders?

00:11:26.000 And they say the mayors, the congressmen, the senators.

00:11:28.000 No, no, the people are the authority.

00:11:31.000 So when the people's rights are infringed, the mayors and the state senators and Governor Polis should be submitting to us.

00:11:37.000 We don't submit to them.

00:11:43.000 So I love this verse, and God dealt well with the midwives.

00:11:47.000 Let me ask you, is the American church, are we as Christians, fighting tyranny the way the midwives fought tyranny in Egypt? 0.64

00:11:56.000 I don't think we're doing a good job.

00:11:57.000 I don't.

00:11:58.000 I think you guys are.

00:11:59.000 I mean, there's an exception, but the large part of the American church, American Christianity, is submit to the government authorities, submit to the cultural tyranny, submit to the pressure of the day, submit to what other people are saying.

00:12:10.000 That is not what God wants.

00:12:11.000 And by the way, it's not just in Exodus.

00:12:13.000 In Daniel, Daniel disobeyed the king and still prayed his prayers, ended up in the lion's den, right?

00:12:19.000 In Acts, it says we obey God, not man, time and time again.

00:12:22.000 Psalm 97, 10 is my favorite, one of my favorite verses of the Bible.

00:12:26.000 I have a lot of favorite verses.

00:12:27.000 Phil Nazi said that.

00:12:29.000 If you love God, you must hate evil.

00:12:31.000 I don't think that we as Christians are doing a good job fulfilling that verse.

00:12:37.000 I hear all the time, but Charlie, we must be nice.

00:12:40.000 And I say, great.

00:12:41.000 Got you by the other point.

00:12:43.000 Where in the 66 books of the Bible does the word nice appear in Aramaic or Greek or Hebrew?

00:12:48.000 Waiting.

00:12:48.000 Ready, set, go.

00:12:51.000 And they say, well, we have to be loving.

00:12:52.000 I said, yeah, but what does loving mean?

00:12:54.000 Tell me in the original Greek.

00:12:54.000 You know, it's it agape, storge, phileo.

00:12:56.000 You know, and they say, well, oh my goodness.

00:12:58.000 We kind of had this discourse earlier.

00:13:00.000 But we're not called to be nice.

00:13:02.000 We're called to tell the truth.

00:13:04.000 And honestly, we've done a pretty crummy job of telling the truth the last 30 years here in America.

00:13:08.000 We have allowed the worst of all evil institutionalize itself, go after our children.

00:13:12.000 And I finally am starting to see a response.

00:13:14.000 This school is evidence of a response to all this institutionalized evil.

00:13:19.000 And the midwives feared God and God dealt well with them. 0.99

00:13:23.000 If we want God to deal well with us, maybe we should start fighting for liberty against tyranny.

00:13:28.000 So God delivers his chosen people out of Egypt. 0.99

00:13:31.000 And every time you hear Egypt, just think tyranny.

00:13:34.000 Every time, right?

00:13:35.000 And so he delivers them out of Egypt. 0.92

00:13:37.000 One of my favorite parts.

00:13:39.000 They're in the desert.

00:13:39.000 You know, God, 10 miracles.

00:13:41.000 You know, the sea is parted.

00:13:44.000 And this is why I always laugh when atheists say, all I need to do is see a miracle and I'll believe in God. 0.99

00:13:48.000 Like, no, you don't.

00:13:49.000 Like, next Tuesday, you'll forget about God, right?

00:13:51.000 Because you have a heart problem.

00:13:52.000 You are your own God, right?

00:13:53.000 That's not true.

00:13:54.000 The Hebrews saw God move in an amazing way.

00:13:56.000 They get into the desert.

00:13:58.000 Within days, they're complaining.

00:13:59.000 That's all the Jews do, the entire Old Testament. 1.00

00:14:01.000 They complain and they complain and they complain. 0.98

00:14:03.000 That's why God had to let them all die off and have Joshua generation go in. 1.00

00:14:06.000 He's like, these people are not ready for Israel.

00:14:08.000 They complain way too much.

00:14:09.000 We want melons.

00:14:10.000 We want meat.

00:14:10.000 We want all the cucumbers.

00:14:11.000 Literally, translation.

00:14:14.000 So they get into the desert and they say, we want to go back to Egypt because at least we had meat.

00:14:19.000 At least we had melons.

00:14:20.000 At least we had leeks.

00:14:20.000 At least we had cucumbers.

00:14:22.000 They wanted slavery over freedom because they ate better.

00:14:26.000 And God's like, what am I going to do with these people?

00:14:28.000 Like, this is, and I honestly think that's, I agree with Dennis Prager on this.

00:14:32.000 It's one of the reasons why God chose the Jews. 1.00

00:14:33.000 If you could do it with this group of people, you could do it with any group of people, right?

00:14:36.000 If you could get this group of misfits to be successful in finance and business and education, there's something to this book, right? 0.87

00:14:43.000 There's something there that we can all learn from.

00:14:46.000 Anyway, so God is a God of order.

00:14:49.000 We as Christians don't do a good enough job.

00:14:51.000 It drives me nuts when Christians only say God is love. 1.00

00:14:54.000 Yeah, but he's also other things, okay? 0.81

00:14:57.000 He's judging God.

00:14:59.000 Oh, you can't say that.

00:15:00.000 Well, it's true.

00:15:01.000 Jesus will judge the sinners at the end of the age.

00:15:04.000 One of the main reasons why the church has gone woke is you'll never hear the three-word, the three-letter word that every person needs to hear, sin.

00:15:10.000 How do you know what redemption is if you don't know what sin is?

00:15:13.000 Unknown concept.

00:15:14.000 We just tell people, oh, you're perfect the way you are.

00:15:16.000 Actually, you're not. 0.99

00:15:17.000 Like, you're pretty crummy and eating Jesus. 0.97

00:15:19.000 Like, really bad. 0.97

00:15:20.000 All of us do, all the time.

00:15:22.000 And we're going to keep sinning and we keep on eating Jesus. 0.54

00:15:24.000 And so God established order for us.

00:15:27.000 Of course, the decalogue being the Ten Commandments or the Ten Statements.

00:15:31.000 And, of course, it begins, I am the Lord your God who delivered you from Egypt.

00:15:34.000 He reminds them before he gives him the decalogue, Moses the Decalogue.

00:15:38.000 Just in case you forgot, I delivered you from tyranny.

00:15:41.000 God's heart is not for people to live in tyranny.

00:15:44.000 That's when it drives me nuts when people say, Charlie, you're too political as a Christian.

00:15:48.000 Look, God calls us to fight authoritarianism all the time.

00:15:53.000 So then, my favorite one of the commandments that comes tonight that pertains to tonight is the one that every one of you are vigilant and why you're here tonight.

00:16:02.000 Honor your mother and father so that you may live long in the land of which God is giving you.

00:16:07.000 And I'm going to spend the remainder of my remarks on this, and then we'll do some questions.

00:16:12.000 Everything that the culture is doing when it comes to anybody under 18 is about trying to obliterate this commandment.

00:16:20.000 From TikTok to social media, this commandment is the most proven commandment to have a free society.

00:16:30.000 If you were to say, Charlie, out of all the Ten Commandments, what is the one that if you stop doing, you get tyranny the fastest?

00:16:38.000 You actually, more so than murder, more so than stealing, more so than not even having any gods before God.

00:16:45.000 If you do not honor your mother and father, and I'll tell you exactly what that means, you 100% will lose a free society.

00:16:53.000 You cannot have a group of young people that dishonor or curse, which is the opposite of honor, their parents and also live in liberty.

00:17:01.000 It has never happened in the history of the species.

00:17:05.000 Now, I'm a student of history.

00:17:06.000 I love history.

00:17:08.000 If anyone can tell me an example of a superpower that went out of their way to teach their children to hate the country that they're in, I'm all ears.

00:17:17.000 I think it's the first time it's ever happened in the history of the species.

00:17:20.000 And I've asked many different historians.

00:17:23.000 When a wealthy, powerful, benevolent superpower has decided to teach their young, we actually hate the place that is pretty awesome.

00:17:33.000 It is civilizational suicide.

00:17:36.000 There will be historians 50 to 100 years from now writing books and teaching college classes, try to answer the America question.

00:17:44.000 How could a country that did so much good in World War II be so wealthy, be the beacon of light and liberty, have so much opportunity for so people, go out of its way?

00:17:54.000 And my answer is very simple.

00:17:56.000 When you are secular and you do not believe in God, you must fill it with fake religions. 1.00

00:18:02.000 Don't believe me, go drive in one of these neighborhoods like I just did. 0.98

00:18:05.000 BLM, gay pride, those are the pagan religions of the day. 1.00

00:18:09.000 You always have to fill it with some source of meaning, whether it be the false god of BLM or the false god of trans surgeries for kids, whatever it is. 0.57

00:18:18.000 They have to feel an attachment to something.

00:18:20.000 And it's out of guilt.

00:18:22.000 If you don't know how to deal with your guilt, because everyone feels guilt at some point, you're going to do some pretty wacky stuff.

00:18:29.000 And boy, are we living in a society that is just ridden with pity and guilt?

00:18:35.000 Pity for ourselves and our own state of affairs.

00:18:38.000 It's rather remarkable.

00:18:40.000 But if you have a strong attachment to the generation that came before you, you can inoculate yourself against that virus.

00:18:48.000 So let's go through it.

00:18:49.000 It's the only one of the Ten Commandments that involves a direct promise and also your nation.

00:18:55.000 So we talk about politics.

00:18:56.000 We're talking about our country.

00:18:58.000 We should probably isolate the one of the Ten Commandments that deals with the country.

00:19:01.000 So honor, what does that word mean in Hebrew?

00:19:03.000 It means heavily or to treat with seriousness or intentionality.

00:19:07.000 What does curse mean in Hebrew?

00:19:08.000 Lightly.

00:19:09.000 It's the same root.

00:19:10.000 So if you were to treat your parents lightly, you were to curse them.

00:19:14.000 Now, what does that mean to honor your mother and father?

00:19:17.000 It means that when you're at college, you enter college believing that your parents are more correct than your professors.

00:19:23.000 That does not happen.

00:19:25.000 Professors at almost every single university across the country go out of their way to invalidate everything a parent has taught them up until age 18.

00:19:35.000 Your parents are outdated. 0.97

00:19:37.000 They're probably racist. 1.00

00:19:38.000 They're terrible. 0.97

00:19:39.000 Oh, by the way, thanks for paying to the tuition to bring you here.

00:19:42.000 But we're going to turn you into little revolutionaries, basically.

00:19:46.000 Finally, honor your mother and father so that you may live long in the land of which you are in.

00:19:50.000 Marxism depends on three things: the obliteration of religion, property, and family.

00:19:58.000 Private property, they're doing a great job, and they're going to continue to do it.

00:20:02.000 Religion, church rates are going down dramatically, and they've infiltrated the American church. 1.00

00:20:06.000 But the family was always the one that was able to say no.

00:20:11.000 And you are going to have to, someone's going to have to explain this to me: how so many suburban house moms here in Colorado want their kids to suffer.

00:20:23.000 It is unbelievable to me.

00:20:25.000 This is one of the most radical, like, trans sanctuaries in the entire country. 1.00

00:20:31.000 And it's not ISIL. 0.53

00:20:32.000 I'm sure you all know families or kids where you have parents that are excited to go get their 15-year-olds' breasts removed. 0.96

00:20:40.000 It's amazing to me.

00:20:43.000 And so the family is totally getting obliterated and deteriorated.

00:20:46.000 That's why this school matters so much, though, and why what you're doing matters so much: is that a strong nuclear family is a bulwark to any form of tyranny or any sort of despotism that we live through.

00:20:58.000 And Marxism is really the kind of diabolical, and I use that word intentionally, enemy to the American Republic and the American Project.

00:21:07.000 As it aims to do these things, as it continues to try to put these ideas into the zeitgeist, we ask ourselves the question: how does one fight back against it?

00:21:19.000 And that's why the rise of homeschool and this alternative schooling is so exciting.

00:21:24.000 They want you to just release your kid to the public government school and never ask a question after that.

00:21:30.000 If you actually read their literature, they don't believe that it's your child.

00:21:35.000 It's the state's child.

00:21:37.000 That's not an exaggeration.

00:21:39.000 You might say, Charlie, how did Colorado get so wacky?

00:21:42.000 You know, Colorado is the second most educated state in the country, college-educated state? 0.89

00:21:46.000 There's your answer: is that if you are non-stop producing people with college diplomas that believe men can give birth and have degrees in North African lesbian poetry, don't be surprised when your politics go insane.

00:22:03.000 I trust welders, plumbers, and construction workers far more than any given professor, at no offense, C.U. Boulder.

00:22:12.000 I'm sorry, I just have to say it.

00:22:14.000 I'm sorry.

00:22:20.000 And so we must build new things.

00:22:22.000 And I mentioned this earlier.

00:22:23.000 We do not do a good enough job of defending our institutions from infiltration because we let our guard down and they take advantage of our good intentions.

00:22:34.000 How many times do you feel like, well, what's the big deal?

00:22:37.000 You know, I want to be accepting the all people.

00:22:40.000 So here's the playbook.

00:22:41.000 It's so simple, okay?

00:22:42.000 Get a seat at the table, complain relentlessly until I'm able to debase the leader on fake accusations, and then I control the institution.

00:22:51.000 How many times have you seen that?

00:22:53.000 FBI, military, university campuses, major corporations.

00:22:58.000 And they're relentless.

00:22:59.000 You know what they operate?

00:23:00.000 They operate like a bacterial infection that will not go away.

00:23:04.000 That will just gnaw and gnaw and grow and grow and multiply.

00:23:09.000 And we're like, well, my goodness, the CRT, DEI people, they used to have two seats at the table.

00:23:13.000 Now they have 10 seats at the table.

00:23:15.000 And I don't want to be called a racist because that's the worst thing that you could be called.

00:23:18.000 And so let's just let them control everything.

00:23:20.000 So how do you summarize CRT?

00:23:22.000 It's so simple.

00:23:23.000 Call everything racist until you control it.

00:23:25.000 That's it.

00:23:25.000 That's what CRT is.

00:23:27.000 Queer theory, call everything transphobic until you control it. 0.98

00:23:30.000 It's a means to power.

00:23:31.000 It's not about liberation.

00:23:33.000 It's not about teaching history.

00:23:34.000 It's a means to institutional takeover.

00:23:38.000 And so the alternative is once they take over everything, build new stuff.

00:23:42.000 And that's what you're doing.

00:23:43.000 And so, my one piece of advice to you guys: build, be bold, but please be vigilant about them trying to capture your institution.

00:23:51.000 Because they don't build new stuff.

00:23:52.000 That's what's crazy.

00:23:53.000 They don't ever build anything beautiful or bold.

00:23:56.000 They just take over stuff that we have built with our value system.

00:23:59.000 And then we're like, well, we used to have that great thing.

00:24:01.000 We used to have that church and used to have that school and used to have that place and used to have that, you know, that company.

00:24:06.000 And so they're experts at takeover.

00:24:09.000 And so building new things is quite honestly the only and the best option.

00:24:13.000 So I'll say this in closing.

00:24:14.000 You know, I get asked all the time, you know, Charlie, you know, this is a Christian audience, you know, Charlie, do you think that we're in the end times?

00:24:20.000 And I'm not a pastor.

00:24:21.000 I'm not a theologian, so I'm not equipped to answer that.

00:24:23.000 But I can say this.

00:24:24.000 I'm very concerned that people are being taken advantage of by some pastors out there where they say, Charlie, Jesus is coming next Thursday.

00:24:32.000 I don't have to do anything.

00:24:33.000 I don't have to fight.

00:24:34.000 Look, people ask, are you pre-trib?

00:24:36.000 Are you post-trib?

00:24:37.000 I'm pan-trib.

00:24:37.000 It's going to pan out in the end, okay?

00:24:39.000 So I'm on the welcoming committee and not the planning committee.

00:24:42.000 Okay, so this whole thing is a bunch of, you know, it's somewhat of a distraction.

00:24:46.000 And, but, you know, people say, Charlie, you know, we must look at, yes, we must look at the signs.

00:24:49.000 The time is important and know what it means in the days of Noah.

00:24:51.000 All that stuff is great and really important.

00:24:52.000 I understand that.

00:24:53.000 However, here's where it drives me nuts.

00:24:55.000 And I see it happen, and I want to make sure this might, if this touches one of you tonight, I will have done my job, okay?

00:25:01.000 Because you might be listening to some of those overly emphasized end times pastors, and you might feel disempowered, and you might feel like you don't have to do anything.

00:25:07.000 If I could just reach one of you, I feel I've done my job, which is the right response is if you feel that the world is ending and Jesus is coming soon, is not run to the hill with the kids, is to occupy till Jesus comes, is to hold as much turf and much terrain for his imminent return.

00:25:22.000 And that must be our attitude because I'm afraid it has become an excuse.

00:25:27.000 And I mean that very carefully.

00:25:29.000 I've seen it where people say, Charlie, I don't need to donate.

00:25:31.000 I don't need to start schools.

00:25:33.000 I got asked by a Christian the other day, why even have kids?

00:25:37.000 Because Jesus is coming again so quickly.

00:25:41.000 I was like, wow.

00:25:42.000 Jesus said the time or the day and the hour is unknown.

00:25:45.000 It could be five minutes.

00:25:46.000 It could be 50 years or 500 years.

00:25:48.000 I get in trouble for even saying that because people say, Charlie, it's no more than five years.

00:25:52.000 I said, listen, we don't know.

00:25:54.000 It's what you do that matters.

00:25:56.000 The enemy would love nothing more than to have us remain complacent, remain neutral, if we are off by 200 years.

00:26:07.000 God wants us to fight for what is good and what is righteous, regardless of what the signs of the times are telling us around us.

00:26:13.000 And the most important thing that we as Christians have done a bad job, and we as Protestants have done a bad job of, is this.

00:26:19.000 And I have to brag on the Catholics for a second. 0.99

00:26:21.000 They have done a much better job than we as Protestants have done. 0.95

00:26:25.000 A much better job at building colleges, and they're all woke now, but at building, you know, but that's what happens.

00:26:33.000 We don't defend anything.

00:26:34.000 We build these beautiful things and the bacteria takes over.

00:26:36.000 And so then at K-12 schools, and I'll prove it to you, how many Bible-believing, spirit-filled Christians are on the U.S. Supreme Court?

00:26:45.000 There are far more Catholics.

00:26:47.000 It's because they are experts at multi-generational type building and passing down values.

00:26:53.000 I think we could learn something from that.

00:26:55.000 And I think that one of the reasons we haven't done that is that since 1950, there's been a strain of Christianity that has told us we're getting zapped up in the next five minutes.

00:27:05.000 And that might be true, but you have to act like it's not.

00:27:09.000 And you have to act like you could have a lot more time left on the clock.

00:27:13.000 And so if we change that attitude, by the way, the whole ballgame changes.

00:27:18.000 I hope you understand.

00:27:20.000 You will ignite one of the most powerful silent majorities.

00:27:23.000 If you get Christians that have been waiting for the imminent return the last 60 years and done very little, and you get them into an action phase and realize that they have to try to act, watch out. 1.00

00:27:34.000 All of a sudden, the enemy is going to be on the run in a very, very big way.

00:27:37.000 Okay, let's do some questions, and I'll stay as long as you'll have me.

00:27:40.000 So, okay.

00:27:42.000 Okay, so I have one question, and I'm going to turn it out to all you guys.

00:27:45.000 So get your questions ready.

00:27:47.000 The college thing is a big deal.

00:27:49.000 I feel like we have been even asked, do you send your kids to college?

00:27:54.000 My husband's out of the room, so I can say this.

00:27:56.000 They're not going to Boulder.

00:27:58.000 For those of you who don't know where my husband went and where he's very involved with right now, but it's a tough call.

00:28:05.000 What do you think the chances are if, let's say, our kids go through a school like this, make it, get into a college, percentage-wise, where are we at with dropping off the bandwagon?

00:28:18.000 You'll lose one out of four.

00:28:20.000 Across the board, that's what you've seen in the world.

00:28:22.000 Even the strongest K through 12 that I've seen, homeschool, one out of four will be lost.

00:28:26.000 If they have a public school, you'll lose closer to 50, 60 percent.

00:28:30.000 Wow.

00:28:31.000 Okay, guys, we have a lot of work to do.

00:28:32.000 We're going to try to break that statistic.

00:28:35.000 Or just not send them to college.

00:28:37.000 Yeah.

00:28:38.000 Okay.

00:28:39.000 Well, yes, all right.

00:28:41.000 Well, that'll be another thing.

00:28:42.000 Okay.

00:28:43.000 Unless they go to Hillsdale or CCU.

00:28:45.000 Yes, which is.

00:28:48.000 But those are the exceptions to the.

00:28:50.000 Let me be very clear.

00:28:51.000 Yes.

00:28:51.000 That is not how most schools are.

00:28:53.000 Okay.

00:28:53.000 Yeah.

00:28:54.000 Okay.

00:28:54.000 Good.

00:28:55.000 That was very enthusiastic.

00:28:57.000 I would love to hear your opinions on parachurches at the big universities and how I've heard like about crew, intervarsity.

00:29:07.000 I have friends that have been involved with crew.

00:29:10.000 Family members say they're strong Christians, but they've even mentioned saying they've gotten a little woke, and so they still consider themselves Christians, but they've changed their views on certain things.

00:29:20.000 And that's really disturbing to me.

00:29:23.000 Yeah, I find crew and intervars to be worthless, to be honest.

00:29:26.000 So they've never come to my defense or helped anything we've done.

00:29:26.000 Yeah.

00:29:30.000 And I do nothing but college campus outreach for 11 years.

00:29:33.000 And, you know, I listen to InterVarsity on a radio program on K-Love talk about their outreach is to talk in the terms of Gen Z, of equity and diversity and inclusion.

00:29:43.000 And so, I mean, don't take my word for it.

00:29:45.000 Go to their websites, right?

00:29:47.000 Go do your own research.

00:29:48.000 They think you win more people to Christ by watering down the gospel.

00:29:52.000 And so my question to Crew or InterVarsity is, why don't you guys come learn from the organization that when we go to campus, we can't find rooms big enough to fit all the students that want to come to our events?

00:30:02.000 And yes, we talk about politics, we talk about abortion, but we also talk about Jesus.

00:30:07.000 And I honestly think that what we're doing is far more effective than what Crew and InnerVarsity has done.

00:30:11.000 I mean, we can pinpoint tens of thousands of young people that have given their life to the Lord that have never been reached out to by any of those groups.

00:30:19.000 And so, yeah, I mean, I have pretty strong opinions about it.

00:30:22.000 But because this is the space that I, they believe in what I call happy talk Christianity.

00:30:26.000 And I don't have time for that.

00:30:29.000 Charlie, thanks for being here.

00:30:30.000 Tell us a little bit more about Turning Point USA and the impact that you're having on college campuses.

00:30:35.000 And have you considered doing more work in K through 12?

00:30:38.000 I know you've started doing some work in K through 12, but it seems like the indoctrination of our colleges has been there for a long time.

00:30:45.000 And now it's really entering K through 12.

00:30:47.000 So two-part question, impacting college and also K through 12.

00:30:50.000 Yeah, thank you, Norton.

00:30:52.000 Norton does great work, by the way.

00:30:53.000 Big fan.

00:30:54.000 He's terrific.

00:30:55.000 So, yeah, I mean, Turning Point USA has grown greater and bigger than anything I ever could have imagined.

00:31:03.000 We actually have more high school chapters than college chapters across the country, which is amazing.

00:31:09.000 We are seeing some signs of promise for college freshman men.

00:31:14.000 It's the most conservative young men entry class in 50 years that we've seen, which is amazing.

00:31:20.000 And the data shows it, and our experience shows it.

00:31:23.000 The young ladies are not so promising, so we're working on that.

00:31:27.000 Single-issue voters, everybody.

00:31:30.000 That's a tougher deal.

00:31:31.000 But look, the college campus outreach is integral.

00:31:34.000 I'm actually going on tour coming up next week, and we do hundreds and hundreds of events almost every single week while school is in session.

00:31:42.000 We have the biggest events of anybody in the entire movement in this space, and our mission statement is to make sure that your grandkids can live in a free society.

00:31:50.000 We also get students elected to student body president.

00:31:52.000 We have members of Congress that have graduated from Turning Point USA now, Ana Paulina Luna.

00:31:58.000 We have some of the biggest voices in the entire conservative movement: Isabel Brown, Brandon Tatum, Will Witt, and also Candace Owens, just to name a few, that started at Turning Point USA.

00:32:08.000 So, pretty proud of that.

00:32:10.000 Thankful for that, I should say.

00:32:11.000 And then, yeah, we have Turning Point Academy now, where our vision is to start hybrid schools across the country.

00:32:17.000 So, it's a mixture between K through 12, it's a mixture between high school and traditional, about one or two days of in-person instruction a week, and then the rest at home school.

00:32:26.000 So, we've done about 30 of those so far across the country, and we're scaling it up.

00:32:30.000 And then, we also have an educator summit where we bring in teachers from across the country.

00:32:34.000 We had 700 educators come to our educators summit, where we train teachers themselves how to properly teach about the Constitution Liberty.

00:32:42.000 Also, do a pastor's training.

00:32:43.000 We just finished that up.

00:32:45.000 We have 2,000 church partnerships.

00:32:47.000 We just had 1,300 pastors come to our pastor summit in San Diego.

00:32:51.000 And our goal at TPUSA Faith is very simple: we want to kick wokeism out of the American church immediately because it's a heresy from the pit of hell. 0.88

00:32:59.000 And then we have some other goals too.

00:33:01.000 But that's the first one.

00:33:02.000 So, thank you, Nora.

00:33:03.000 Charlie, first off, thank you for all that you do.

00:33:05.000 I've followed you for a number of years on social media.

00:33:08.000 What do you feel like has been the most effective way for you to communicate to people that are seemingly irrational in a rational manner?

00:33:17.000 I visit these campuses, and did anyone see what happened at Flagstaff this last week?

00:33:21.000 A couple people mentioned it.

00:33:22.000 Yes, it's nuts.

00:33:23.000 So, I visited Northern Arizona University, and I do this thing where I set up a card table and I'll speak to students, and it's interesting.

00:33:31.000 And so, I arrive on campus, right?

00:33:33.000 And there's like hundreds of people in support of us and Turning Point, and then there are tons of protesters, right?

00:33:40.000 So, I believe if demons appear, you go right into them, right?

00:33:44.000 You shine light on the cockroaches, they scatter.

00:33:47.000 So, you know, they're all there on campus.

00:33:48.000 So, I go right into it, and I didn't notice it at the time, right?

00:33:52.000 And I go back and I rewatch the video, and every single one of them screaming at me, and I mean screaming, are all women and men who think they are women, all of them, right?

00:34:06.000 Now, I'm not saying women are not rational, I'm not saying that.

00:34:08.000 I am saying college women are not rational, okay? 1.00

00:34:11.000 I'm just gonna be honest.

00:34:12.000 Like, there's something in the water there, they're so emotional, it's very hard to reason with them.

00:34:18.000 I don't know what it is, single-issue voting, built-up resentment, hookup culture.

00:34:22.000 We have to fix it.

00:34:23.000 It's a real big problem.

00:34:25.000 Where before I could even get a word out edgewise, I mean, like, primal screen.

00:34:30.000 For those of you that saw the video, you know what I'm talking about, right?

00:34:32.000 And at that point, I just kind of stand and just let them holler for 30 minutes in my ear, right?

00:34:38.000 So, yeah, that's hard because what they have done is they've weaponized young female resentment against conservatives, is what they've done.

00:34:46.000 And that's a really tricky, dangerous thing.

00:34:48.000 And yeah, look, you could broaden that to the entire country.

00:34:51.000 One of the reasons why the country has kind of moved away from the roots that we should be in is that one of the most liberal Democrat voting blocs in the country are 30 to 35-year-old college-educated women with good careers in cats, right?

00:35:08.000 And so, as soon as they get married, they become more conservative.

00:35:12.000 Once they have kids, they become Republicans.

00:35:14.000 But as they remain single and they have a good career, they have a great attachment to the American left-wing cause.

00:35:22.000 What I just said gets me in so much trouble.

00:35:24.000 I don't care in that sense.

00:35:26.000 It's just it's hype, it's true, right?

00:35:30.000 And I also think we've done a real bad.

00:35:32.000 Here's the thing.

00:35:33.000 When you actually privately speak to some of these young ladies on campus outside of all the cameras, they want someone to tell them it's okay to go get married and have kids. 1.00

00:35:42.000 And they feel pushed into a hyper-masculine corporate environment.

00:35:46.000 So they have to act in ways that they honestly are not really wired to be able to do.

00:35:51.000 It's okay to tell young women, go find your soulmate and have lots of children.

00:35:56.000 In fact, lots of them want to do that, and we should applaud that.

00:36:00.000 I don't always get warm reception because, I mean, parents will say, oh, my daughter, I'll tell you an example.

00:36:06.000 You know, I had this argument five years ago.

00:36:08.000 They said, oh, my daughter can get married later. 1.00

00:36:11.000 And she's now 32 and she's really upset that she can't find somebody.

00:36:15.000 And honestly, her odds aren't good because men don't want to marry really bitter 32-year-olds.

00:36:20.000 Like, they would rather marry a 23 or 24-year-old Christian girl that is grateful to be alive. 0.61

00:36:31.000 Hi, Charlie.

00:36:32.000 Thank you for being here.

00:36:33.000 My mom is actually part of Turning Point in Douglas County. 0.97

00:36:37.000 So thank you for all that you do.

00:36:38.000 I just had a quick question.

00:36:39.000 My husband and I, we're millennials, so early 30s.

00:36:44.000 And we have a lot of our friends that are conservative and are afraid to have kids because of where the school system's going, what's going on in our country.

00:36:53.000 And so we're just encouraging them to have kids.

00:36:56.000 But what would your encouragement be?

00:36:58.000 What would your advice be to our friends?

00:37:00.000 How can we encourage them to continue to have kids, to continue to move forward?

00:37:06.000 I'd love to have your thoughts on that.

00:37:08.000 It's a great question.

00:37:09.000 I have yet to ever hear a good excuse not to have children.

00:37:11.000 And I've heard them all, right?

00:37:13.000 I mean, the excuses I hear on campus, I'm not having kids because they contribute to the climate crisis.

00:37:19.000 That's the new one, right?

00:37:20.000 Is that the earth worshipers want you to have less kids so that, you know, some insect in the Rocky Mountains can flourish or something.

00:37:28.000 I don't know.

00:37:28.000 Whatever the environmentalists are arguing.

00:37:30.000 You guys have to live with these people.

00:37:31.000 I don't know how you do it.

00:37:34.000 If there's only one thing you remember in my Q ⁇ A, Marxism will come through the green movement quicker than anything else.

00:37:41.000 Just remember that.

00:37:42.000 Write it down.

00:37:43.000 Bring it to the bank.

00:37:45.000 I'm telling you, Marxism will come via the environmentalists more than anything else.

00:37:49.000 Okay, so, yeah, they don't want to have kids because the schools are messed up.

00:37:54.000 Well, again, they're probably just giving you excuses for other reasons. 0.58

00:37:58.000 That's a really silly reason.

00:37:59.000 Then educate your kids yourself or go send them to Colorado Christian Academy.

00:38:03.000 God says, be fruitful and multiply, right?

00:38:06.000 I have a daughter, one year old.

00:38:08.000 Not easy.

00:38:09.000 Unbelievably fulfilling.

00:38:11.000 And I understand why so many of these people are miserable.

00:38:15.000 They want that, but they don't want the work.

00:38:18.000 And that's too bad because the beautiful things in life take effort.

00:38:21.000 They take dedication.

00:38:23.000 They take sacrifice.

00:38:24.000 Instant gratification is not the way to lasting joy.

00:38:29.000 The hard things lead you to the beautiful things.

00:38:31.000 And we need to tell young people that.

00:38:33.000 And having kids is the most awesome thing ever.

00:38:35.000 And by the way, we're on the verge of a population crisis in this country.

00:38:38.000 We are in a very dangerous, dangerous territory where having children is now not...

00:38:45.000 What's amazing is now in the first time in the history of the species, we are realizing that having children is not natural.

00:38:54.000 And say, what do you mean?

00:38:55.000 That actually the act of having children is natural.

00:38:59.000 But if you have the technology to prevent it, most human beings actually don't want to have kids.

00:39:04.000 And that's what we're seeing.

00:39:06.000 We have more 30-somethings that are single and not married and without children than those that are single and married and have children.

00:39:13.000 It's remarkable.

00:39:15.000 So, I mean, we saw it during COVID.

00:39:17.000 You would think during COVID that the birth rate would skyrocket.

00:39:20.000 A lot of people at home with nothing to do.

00:39:22.000 It went down.

00:39:24.000 It's because people live in fear and they let that control their behavior.

00:39:27.000 Yes.

00:39:28.000 Hi, Grace Schrader, first grade teacher.

00:39:32.000 Thank you.

00:39:34.000 I was forced into asking a question, but my question is, do you have any specific recommendations regarding curriculum or subject priorities in order to push the conservative agenda forward and work against the woke agenda?

00:39:53.000 It's a great question.

00:39:54.000 Yes.

00:39:55.000 So the most important, first grade is hard, not impossible.

00:39:59.000 The most important thing that we are not doing at the first, second, third, fourth in grade is talking about how bad it is to lie, how truth is the central value of any free society.

00:40:10.000 At the root of wokeism is an acceptance of untruth.

00:40:15.000 You kill wokeism immediately as soon as you introduce truth. 0.75

00:40:20.000 Immediately.

00:40:21.000 This is why they have to prevent us from speaking.

00:40:24.000 Because if you're allowed to have truth, you cannot say that men can give birth.

00:40:30.000 If you have truth, you can't say that America is a racist country.

00:40:33.000 So as a first grade teacher, you have to talk about how important it is to never lie, why you must have truth as a central pillar of society, which is why our founding fathers said in the Declaration, we hold these truths to be self-evident.

00:40:46.000 Truth as an ultimate absolute value is something the founders understood was necessary for a flourishing republic.

00:40:54.000 Charlie, thank you.

00:40:55.000 So I don't think when I hear liberal, I don't even know what the definition is anymore.

00:41:02.000 Because most people say they're liberal, but is there liberal even today?

00:41:05.000 Does it exist?

00:41:06.000 Like what I really, what I think I run into is a form of extreme extremism, where I don't, it's an ideology that's not even liberal.

00:41:16.000 So how do we deal with that?

00:41:17.000 Yeah, so there are very few actual liberals left in public life.

00:41:23.000 Alan Dershowitz is a liberal, right?

00:41:26.000 But they're mostly totalitarian Marxists is what they are, right?

00:41:30.000 And so we have to stop calling them liberals.

00:41:32.000 Leftist is fine, right?

00:41:34.000 Or left-wingers or Marxists or wokeys, right? 0.61

00:41:37.000 There's all sorts of different types of terms.

00:41:39.000 It depends on what issue in particular you're dealing with.

00:41:42.000 But I'll give you an example.

00:41:44.000 When I visit these campuses, I can find out immediately what I'm dealing with based on a couple questions.

00:41:50.000 I'll have somebody come up to a question line.

00:41:53.000 I'll say, do you believe in black-only dormitories? 0.92

00:41:58.000 And most of them will say yes, which is there's hundreds of black-only dormitories across the country. 0.96

00:42:05.000 White-only spaces, black-only spaces. 0.85

00:42:07.000 So that's segregation, right?

00:42:10.000 That is not a liberal value.

00:42:12.000 I'll ask another question.

00:42:14.000 I'll say, do you believe through surgery, hormones, or other means, a biological man can become a female?

00:42:20.000 And they'll say yes.

00:42:22.000 That is not a liberal value.

00:42:23.000 That's insane.

00:42:25.000 And it's against everything that we know to be true.

00:42:28.000 By the way, if there's one piece of advice I could give you, the issue that we can win on that we have to go all in on is this trans issue. 0.77

00:42:35.000 It is against God's design.

00:42:37.000 They're going after our children.

00:42:38.000 They're grooming them.

00:42:40.000 It's sexually perverse.

00:42:41.000 And there will be hundreds of thousands of kids, mark my words, in a decade from now with their breasts cut off and their private parts no longer there that will be unable to have children or be able to be in relationships for irreversible damage because of clinics in this state that have facilitated the butchering of an entire generation. 0.71

00:43:00.000 So please fight against it.

00:43:02.000 It is one of the most evil and sinister things.

00:43:04.000 So it's not liberalism is what I'm getting at.

00:43:06.000 It's something else.

00:43:07.000 They don't believe in speech.

00:43:08.000 52% of college people on college campuses, 52% say that they think that hate speech should be not allowed on campus.

00:43:20.000 And of course, they'll just call everything conservative hate speech, and therefore there is no speech.

00:43:25.000 What is their goal, everybody?

00:43:27.000 You in Colorado are living more in their goal than most people realize.

00:43:32.000 A one-party state.

00:43:35.000 That is their goal.

00:43:36.000 And they're getting closer and closer to that.

00:43:38.000 Okay, final question.

00:43:39.000 Okay, final question.

00:43:40.000 I feel like this side of the room has not.

00:43:42.000 Okay, we got one.

00:43:44.000 All the way over there.

00:43:44.000 So, while you're going over there, if you haven't yet, if you're not subscribed to our podcast, please consider doing so.

00:43:50.000 Who here listens to our podcast?

00:43:51.000 Anybody?

00:43:52.000 Thank you guys.

00:43:53.000 That really blesses us.

00:43:54.000 And thank you for that.

00:43:55.000 This will be the final question.

00:43:57.000 Okay, so I have to thank you for my very late nights watching you going down the rabbit hole on social media.

00:44:03.000 My question is about social media.

00:44:06.000 What is your thoughts on that?

00:44:07.000 We have really young children that are, we're trying to not expose them to it, but you're on that.

00:44:12.000 And how do we navigate that with our littles that are exposed to that? 0.85

00:44:19.000 Great question.

00:44:20.000 So I have a one-year-old daughter, and I might fail in this, but at least the standard we're setting is she doesn't get a smartphone till I got a smartphone.

00:44:31.000 So I got a smartphone at age 19, and my upbringing was awesome.

00:44:36.000 I lived in a great country growing up 10 years ago.

00:44:39.000 Okay?

00:44:41.000 When I was in high school, we spoke to one another.

00:44:45.000 It was unbelievable.

00:44:47.000 We didn't gossip on some sort of Snapchat or TikTok forum.

00:44:51.000 And so I might fail in that.

00:44:53.000 I see zero reason why a child should get any form of smartphone before 18 or 19.

00:44:59.000 Maybe a flip phone.

00:45:01.000 Maybe.

00:45:02.000 But I'm a radical in this, and I could go down the rabbit hole more.

00:45:07.000 As soon as you hand your child that device, they are a captive of the social media companies. 0.95

00:45:13.000 They will rewire their brain in a way where they are a prisoner of oligarchs that hate them, that want to turn them gay, turn them trans, and hate the country. 0.96

00:45:22.000 Can I just close really quick? 0.99

00:45:24.000 Is that okay?

00:45:25.000 Please support this school, everybody.

00:45:26.000 I love Colorado.

00:45:27.000 I'm going to be coming back frequently.

00:45:29.000 We have a great turning point network here and great chapters across this area.

00:45:33.000 But we as Christians must stand and fight.

00:45:35.000 I really believe that we have allowed ourselves to be on the sidelines and been intolerant of evil for so long.

00:45:41.000 And I think one of the greatest ways that we can fight against all this nonsense and this garbage and this darkness is for Christians to fulfill what Christ told us to do, which is to be salt and light.

00:45:52.000 By definition, salt and light change the environments that they come in contact with, which means that you go to places that don't agree with you, college campuses, and you shine a light in that darkness or you try to change it for the better.

00:46:04.000 And that also means one of my favorite teachings in John 8, which is quoted all the time by the wokies, where they say, let the first among you cast the first stone.

00:46:12.000 We all know that.

00:46:13.000 But how does that story end when Christ goes to the woman and he says, sin no more?

00:46:20.000 We have done the first part of no judgy, but have we actually gone to people and tell the society to sin no more?

00:46:27.000 No, we've been done really, really bad with that.

00:46:29.000 Truth will always win as long as people have the courage to speak that truth.

00:46:34.000 We must pour into the next generation.

00:46:36.000 I know a lot of you have listened to this speech and you say, Charlie, I'm exhausted.

00:46:40.000 I'm worn out.

00:46:41.000 I've done everything that has been asked of me.

00:46:43.000 You know, I watched your podcast.

00:46:45.000 I bought the pillow.

00:46:46.000 You know, I have really, I've done everything.

00:46:49.000 By the way, promo code Kirk at mypillow.com, just so we're clear, okay?

00:46:56.000 And you're probably saying, Charlie, are you optimistic or pessimistic about the country?

00:47:00.000 I refuse to answer the question because if I said I was optimistic, you'd go home and do nothing.

00:47:04.000 If I said I was pessimistic, you'd go home and do nothing.

00:47:06.000 All I know is this: we happen to be alive in a short period of time where everything we do matters.

00:47:12.000 And we serve a loving and almighty God against some spiritual evil that we have never, ever even dreamed of.

00:47:19.000 I'm excited to be alive and in this fight for such a time as this.

00:47:23.000 I pray that you guys will rise up, continue to take terrain.

00:47:26.000 I know it's tough here in Colorado, and for that, thank you guys for so generously welcoming me and onward we march.

00:47:32.000 Thank you guys so much.

00:47:33.000 Appreciate it.

00:47:36.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
