00:00:50.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:58.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:33.000First, 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.
00:01:47.000This 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.
00:01:58.000And we are really good at starting new things.
00:02:02.000We're really bad at preserving our things from getting captured and infiltrated.
00:02:27.000And that's why this effort is so incredibly important.
00:02:29.000And you have no idea the child that you might be helping educate at Colorado Christian, the impact that they might make.
00:02:37.000You have no idea if they might be a change maker, an entrepreneur, a senator, a congressman, something beyond your wildest imagination.
00:02:44.000Or the most important thing, a loyal husband and wife and someone who loves the Lord, honestly, even beyond, you know, a massive changemaker.
00:02:51.000So I'm going to actually talk about my favorite book of the Bible.
00:03:02.000I love the word and I love what it does to you through different walks of life.
00:03:06.000And 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.
00:03:16.000If you want a really a big challenge, do that.
00:03:31.000But my favorite book of the Bible is the book of Exodus.
00:03:34.000And it's not quoted enough or understood enough.
00:03:36.000And 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.
00:03:44.000And so, you know, I was studying and studying Exodus and so much pops out.
00:03:48.000So I'm going to go three lessons that I think we as believers, we as patriots, can derive from the book of Exodus.
00:03:55.000And some you say, okay, I've heard that one before.
00:03:57.000But I guarantee you, I'm going to isolate a verse that you've probably never heard any pastor ever isolate.
00:04:02.000It's just kind of what I call a flyover verse.
00:06:51.000If 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.
00:07:04.000And I don't think we as Christians isolate this teaching enough because we act as if it happens automatically sometimes.
00:07:10.000Like, oh, I can send my kid to government school and they'll still share my values.
00:07:13.000You know, we go to church once a quarter.
00:07:15.000And, you know, we listen to Christian music, you know, every so often.
00:07:19.000And, you know, they'll, like, through osmosis.
00:07:21.000And 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?
00:07:44.000And you're here tonight because you want your children to share your values.
00:07:49.000That you want your children to live in liberty.
00:07:53.000And so that verse right there should be our mission statement.
00:07:57.000We never want to have a king or a sovereign, the people, ever not know the sacrifices that were made before.
00:08:04.000When 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.
00:08:15.000We're a colonistic, colonialistic, misogynistic, homophobic, terrible country.
00:08:21.000That's a generation that did not know Joseph.
00:08:23.000So 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.
00:08:33.000I actually didn't plan to talk about this, but it's just a little bit of a side note.
00:08:36.000The human being wants to be taken care of far more than they want to be free.
00:08:44.000And if you disagree, you are not paying attention during COVID.
00:08:47.000People 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.
00:09:08.000If 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.
00:10:48.000God wants you to reject tyranny if it engages in somebody's life or interferes with their liberty.
00:10:54.000A regular woke, skinny gene-wearing pastor will tell you, no, no, no.
00:10:59.000Romans 13, man, submit to the rulers in authority because God put them there for your good.
00:11:04.000And 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.
00:11:14.000Like, let me ask you, you know, since you're super smart, who are the leaders in America exactly?
00:11:22.000In Romans 13, God put the leaders in authority because they're there for your good.
00:11:59.000I 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.
00:15:01.000Jesus will judge the sinners at the end of the age.
00:15:04.000One 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.
00:15:10.000How do you know what redemption is if you don't know what sin is?
00:15:27.000Of course, the decalogue being the Ten Commandments or the Ten Statements.
00:15:31.000And, of course, it begins, I am the Lord your God who delivered you from Egypt.
00:15:34.000He reminds them before he gives him the decalogue, Moses the Decalogue.
00:15:38.000Just in case you forgot, I delivered you from tyranny.
00:15:41.000God's heart is not for people to live in tyranny.
00:15:44.000That's when it drives me nuts when people say, Charlie, you're too political as a Christian.
00:15:48.000Look, God calls us to fight authoritarianism all the time.
00:15:53.000So 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.
00:16:02.000Honor your mother and father so that you may live long in the land of which God is giving you.
00:16:07.000And I'm going to spend the remainder of my remarks on this, and then we'll do some questions.
00:16:12.000Everything that the culture is doing when it comes to anybody under 18 is about trying to obliterate this commandment.
00:16:20.000From TikTok to social media, this commandment is the most proven commandment to have a free society.
00:16:30.000If 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?
00:16:38.000You actually, more so than murder, more so than stealing, more so than not even having any gods before God.
00:16:45.000If you do not honor your mother and father, and I'll tell you exactly what that means, you 100% will lose a free society.
00:16:53.000You cannot have a group of young people that dishonor or curse, which is the opposite of honor, their parents and also live in liberty.
00:17:01.000It has never happened in the history of the species.
00:17:08.000If 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.
00:17:17.000I think it's the first time it's ever happened in the history of the species.
00:17:20.000And I've asked many different historians.
00:17:23.000When a wealthy, powerful, benevolent superpower has decided to teach their young, we actually hate the place that is pretty awesome.
00:17:36.000There will be historians 50 to 100 years from now writing books and teaching college classes, try to answer the America question.
00:17:44.000How 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?
00:17:56.000When you are secular and you do not believe in God, you must fill it with fake religions.
00:18:02.000Don't believe me, go drive in one of these neighborhoods like I just did.
00:18:05.000BLM, gay pride, those are the pagan religions of the day.
00:18:09.000You 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.
00:18:18.000They have to feel an attachment to something.
00:19:25.000Professors 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.
00:19:39.000Oh, by the way, thanks for paying to the tuition to bring you here.
00:19:42.000But we're going to turn you into little revolutionaries, basically.
00:19:46.000Finally, honor your mother and father so that you may live long in the land of which you are in.
00:19:50.000Marxism depends on three things: the obliteration of religion, property, and family.
00:19:58.000Private property, they're doing a great job, and they're going to continue to do it.
00:20:02.000Religion, church rates are going down dramatically, and they've infiltrated the American church.
00:20:06.000But the family was always the one that was able to say no.
00:20:11.000And 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.
00:20:43.000And so the family is totally getting obliterated and deteriorated.
00:20:46.000That'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.
00:20:58.000And Marxism is really the kind of diabolical, and I use that word intentionally, enemy to the American Republic and the American Project.
00:21:07.000As 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?
00:21:19.000And that's why the rise of homeschool and this alternative schooling is so exciting.
00:21:24.000They want you to just release your kid to the public government school and never ask a question after that.
00:21:30.000If you actually read their literature, they don't believe that it's your child.
00:21:39.000You might say, Charlie, how did Colorado get so wacky?
00:21:42.000You know, Colorado is the second most educated state in the country, college-educated state?
00:21:46.000There'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.
00:22:03.000I trust welders, plumbers, and construction workers far more than any given professor, at no offense, C.U. Boulder.
00:22:23.000We 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.
00:22:34.000How many times do you feel like, well, what's the big deal?
00:22:37.000You know, I want to be accepting the all people.
00:22:42.000Get a seat at the table, complain relentlessly until I'm able to debase the leader on fake accusations, and then I control the institution.
00:24:14.000You 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?
00:24:24.000I'm very concerned that people are being taken advantage of by some pastors out there where they say, Charlie, Jesus is coming next Thursday.
00:24:53.000However, here's where it drives me nuts.
00:24:55.000And 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?
00:25:01.000Because 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.
00:25:07.000If 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.
00:25:22.000And that must be our attitude because I'm afraid it has become an excuse.
00:26:47.000It's because they are experts at multi-generational type building and passing down values.
00:26:53.000I think we could learn something from that.
00:26:55.000And 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.
00:27:05.000And that might be true, but you have to act like it's not.
00:27:09.000And you have to act like you could have a lot more time left on the clock.
00:27:13.000And so if we change that attitude, by the way, the whole ballgame changes.
00:27:20.000You will ignite one of the most powerful silent majorities.
00:27:23.000If 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.
00:27:34.000All of a sudden, the enemy is going to be on the run in a very, very big way.
00:27:37.000Okay, let's do some questions, and I'll stay as long as you'll have me.
00:27:58.000For 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.
00:28:05.000What 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?
00:28:57.000I would love to hear your opinions on parachurches at the big universities and how I've heard like about crew, intervarsity.
00:29:07.000I have friends that have been involved with crew.
00:29:10.000Family 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.
00:29:30.000And I do nothing but college campus outreach for 11 years.
00:29:33.000And, 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.
00:29:43.000And so, I mean, don't take my word for it.
00:29:48.000They think you win more people to Christ by watering down the gospel.
00:29:52.000And 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?
00:30:02.000And yes, we talk about politics, we talk about abortion, but we also talk about Jesus.
00:30:07.000And I honestly think that what we're doing is far more effective than what Crew and InnerVarsity has done.
00:30:11.000I 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.
00:30:19.000And so, yeah, I mean, I have pretty strong opinions about it.
00:30:22.000But because this is the space that I, they believe in what I call happy talk Christianity.
00:30:30.000Tell us a little bit more about Turning Point USA and the impact that you're having on college campuses.
00:30:35.000And have you considered doing more work in K through 12?
00:30:38.000I 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.
00:30:45.000And now it's really entering K through 12.
00:30:47.000So two-part question, impacting college and also K through 12.
00:31:31.000But look, the college campus outreach is integral.
00:31:34.000I'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.
00:31:42.000We 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.
00:31:50.000We also get students elected to student body president.
00:31:52.000We have members of Congress that have graduated from Turning Point USA now, Ana Paulina Luna.
00:31:58.000We 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.
00:32:11.000And then, yeah, we have Turning Point Academy now, where our vision is to start hybrid schools across the country.
00:32:17.000So, 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.
00:32:26.000So, we've done about 30 of those so far across the country, and we're scaling it up.
00:32:30.000And then, we also have an educator summit where we bring in teachers from across the country.
00:32:34.000We had 700 educators come to our educators summit, where we train teachers themselves how to properly teach about the Constitution Liberty.
00:32:47.000We just had 1,300 pastors come to our pastor summit in San Diego.
00:32:51.000And 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.
00:32:59.000And then we have some other goals too.
00:33:23.000So, 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.
00:33:33.000And there's like hundreds of people in support of us and Turning Point, and then there are tons of protesters, right?
00:33:40.000So, I believe if demons appear, you go right into them, right?
00:33:44.000You shine light on the cockroaches, they scatter.
00:33:47.000So, you know, they're all there on campus.
00:33:48.000So, I go right into it, and I didn't notice it at the time, right?
00:33:52.000And 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?
00:34:06.000Now, I'm not saying women are not rational, I'm not saying that.
00:34:08.000I am saying college women are not rational, okay?
00:34:25.000Where before I could even get a word out edgewise, I mean, like, primal screen.
00:34:30.000For those of you that saw the video, you know what I'm talking about, right?
00:34:32.000And at that point, I just kind of stand and just let them holler for 30 minutes in my ear, right?
00:34:38.000So, yeah, that's hard because what they have done is they've weaponized young female resentment against conservatives, is what they've done.
00:34:46.000And that's a really tricky, dangerous thing.
00:34:48.000And yeah, look, you could broaden that to the entire country.
00:34:51.000One 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?
00:35:08.000And so, as soon as they get married, they become more conservative.
00:35:12.000Once they have kids, they become Republicans.
00:35:14.000But as they remain single and they have a good career, they have a great attachment to the American left-wing cause.
00:35:22.000What I just said gets me in so much trouble.
00:35:33.000When 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.
00:35:42.000And they feel pushed into a hyper-masculine corporate environment.
00:35:46.000So they have to act in ways that they honestly are not really wired to be able to do.
00:35:51.000It's okay to tell young women, go find your soulmate and have lots of children.
00:35:56.000In fact, lots of them want to do that, and we should applaud that.
00:36:00.000I don't always get warm reception because, I mean, parents will say, oh, my daughter, I'll tell you an example.
00:36:06.000You know, I had this argument five years ago.
00:36:08.000They said, oh, my daughter can get married later.
00:36:11.000And she's now 32 and she's really upset that she can't find somebody.
00:36:15.000And honestly, her odds aren't good because men don't want to marry really bitter 32-year-olds.
00:36:20.000Like, they would rather marry a 23 or 24-year-old Christian girl that is grateful to be alive.
00:36:39.000My husband and I, we're millennials, so early 30s.
00:36:44.000And 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.
00:36:53.000And so we're just encouraging them to have kids.
00:39:34.000I 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?
00:39:55.000So the most important, first grade is hard, not impossible.
00:39:59.000The 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.
00:40:10.000At the root of wokeism is an acceptance of untruth.
00:40:15.000You kill wokeism immediately as soon as you introduce truth.
00:40:21.000This is why they have to prevent us from speaking.
00:40:24.000Because if you're allowed to have truth, you cannot say that men can give birth.
00:40:30.000If you have truth, you can't say that America is a racist country.
00:40:33.000So 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.
00:40:46.000Truth as an ultimate absolute value is something the founders understood was necessary for a flourishing republic.
00:42:25.000And it's against everything that we know to be true.
00:42:28.000By 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.
00:42:41.000And 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.
00:44:20.000So 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.
00:44:31.000So I got a smartphone at age 19, and my upbringing was awesome.
00:44:36.000I lived in a great country growing up 10 years ago.
00:45:02.000But I'm a radical in this, and I could go down the rabbit hole more.
00:45:07.000As soon as you hand your child that device, they are a captive of the social media companies.
00:45:13.000They 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.
00:45:27.000I'm going to be coming back frequently.
00:45:29.000We have a great turning point network here and great chapters across this area.
00:45:33.000But we as Christians must stand and fight.
00:45:35.000I really believe that we have allowed ourselves to be on the sidelines and been intolerant of evil for so long.
00:45:41.000And 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.
00:45:52.000By 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.
00:46:04.000And 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.
