00:00:44.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:51.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:19.000And I never thought that would be, I would, it feels like sometimes we're in the minority to stand up, especially like you are on a college campus somewhere.
00:02:03.000I visit college campuses, so you don't have to.
00:02:06.000Everything from UCLA to UC Berkeley, Arizona State University.
00:02:10.000I could tell you that despite all the headlines that you might see in the Hamas support on these campuses, there's an amazing amount of hope.
00:02:17.000When I go to these campuses, we can't find rooms big enough to fit all the students that want to attend our Turning Point USA events.
00:03:54.000And when I watch and I see The mockery of these Republican debates, and I see them act as if it's 1985, as if everything's fine.
00:04:05.000Donald Trump is facing 700 years in federal prison.
00:04:09.000They're doing everything they possibly can to throw that guy in jail, and he has every reason to give up, every reason to surrender, and yet he keeps on fighting.
00:04:18.000They're trying to take his business empire away from him.
00:04:20.000They're trying to smear and slander his family every single day.
00:04:24.000They spied on his campaign, they impeached him twice, they lied about all the events around January 6th, and yet he continues to fight.
00:04:32.000And understand it is not him that they're going after, it is you.
00:04:44.000And now I know there's a lot of people that say, but I don't like his tone and I don't like his tweets.
00:04:49.000And honestly, I'm growing a little tired of these one-liners.
00:04:53.000And again, you can have all sorts of different opinions.
00:04:55.000You might support Nikki Haley, which is hilarious.
00:04:57.000You might support good luck with that.
00:05:02.000But here's the bigger truth that I think we all need to acknowledge and admit: there's only one candidate that they are willing to throw everything they possibly can at.
00:05:11.000And it's a lesson for all of us, isn't it?
00:05:13.000How would you act if you were facing 700 years in federal prison?
00:05:19.000You see, there's a reason they fear him so much is because they're afraid that you are learning from him.
00:05:26.000They're afraid that all of a sudden there are millions of grassroots activists that are no longer going to be afraid of the media, afraid of the names that they call you.
00:05:37.000You see, for years, we've allowed the media to dictate the terms of engagement, allowed us to cower in fear every time they called us a racist, every time they called us these sorts of names.
00:05:48.000Donald Trump played offense against some of the most bitter, awful institutions in this country.
00:05:54.000Not only did he play offense, but he refused to play the game that so many of us have been tricked into playing for all of these years.
00:06:00.000Understand that our republic, which I believe was given to us by God, is on very fragile footing right now.
00:06:08.000And the elites have tried everything they possibly can.
00:06:13.000They are trying to go after Mike Lindell.
00:06:15.000They've gone after 1,300 people that were there on January 6th.
00:06:18.000They've gone after people that were alternate electors of constitutional right in some of these states.
00:06:24.000They're using the FBI as a personal enforcement squad of Joe Biden.
00:06:28.000And I don't know about you, but I think this election is a lot bigger than Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
00:06:33.000When they use the instruments of the criminal justice system to go after a former president, that makes me like Donald Trump even more than before.
00:06:48.000And make no mistake, Hamas never would attack Israel if Trump was president.
00:06:55.000There would be no Ukraine and Russian war.
00:07:02.000Christopher Wray would not continue his terror campaign against American citizens.
00:07:07.000The only reason we got Roe versus Wade repealed is thanks to Donald Trump putting Amy Coney Barrett, Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch on the Supreme Court.
00:07:16.000Now, I'm not even here to say you must vote for the men, but you should thank God that he is fighting for you every single day.
00:07:27.000So, what does that mean for all of us?
00:07:30.000We still have an opportunity to save this great country, but it's bigger than politics.
00:07:34.000It involves every single facet of our life: how we educate our kids, whether or not we're going to stand up, the totalitarian bullies in our own life.
00:07:44.000Well, that we turn our back on somebody that might have been canceled for saying some wrong think thing.
00:07:50.000And yes, the fight matters in your churches.
00:07:53.000One of the things that I have dedicated some of our work at TPUSA Faith to, which is why I love working with Flashpoint, is getting the church to stand biblically and courageously against wokeism both outside and inside the church.
00:08:10.000Understand that a vast majority of seminaries in this country are infected with the woke mind virus, postmodernism, social relativism.
00:08:21.000It should be of no mystery and no mistake when you see some of these people come out like Russell Moore or Andy Stanley or Rick Warren.
00:09:13.000We should not blame a secular world for our country falling apart.
00:09:18.000It's because the church did not stand on biblical truth.
00:09:22.000It's because the church was more worried about expanding their wardrobe budget than their book budget.
00:09:31.000It's because the church was unwilling to say to a world, I don't care if you hate me, I only answer to God and God alone.
00:09:42.000And one of the reasons why I love what Flashpoint is doing and this amazing ministry, it's going out into the nation, the country, and speaking to all of you and empowering pastors to stand with biblical courage.
00:11:38.00055 out of 56 of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were Bible-believing church-attending Christians.
00:11:45.000Nine out of 13 of the original state constitutions of the 13 original colonies said that you must be a Protestant Christian to be an office holder at the time of the American founding.
00:11:55.000Almost all 13 out of 13 said you must believe in Almighty God.
00:11:58.000This was founded as a Christian country, and it will be Christians that will save it.
00:12:05.000And yet, we have bought the lie that is peddled by too many of these fake pastors across the country.
00:12:12.000They sell you your book and say that I just want happiness and I want peace on earth.
00:12:17.000Yes, Christ will bring peace on earth, but first he must bring a sword.
00:12:24.000And the word of God will cut through the lies of all culture.
00:12:27.000But I hear from people like Andy Stanley, he says, well, you know, we must meet young people where they're at, that you're going to turn young people off if you talk the truth too bluntly and clearly.
00:12:51.000You tell the truth plainly and repeatedly to a generation that needs to hear it.
00:13:03.000This is a testing moment for the church.
00:13:05.000And if we're honest, most churches failed during COVID.
00:13:08.000We masked in fear and hid behind Romans 13, an inappropriate analysis of Romans 13, saying that we must submit to our government leaders and authorities and those that are there because they're there for our good.
00:13:20.000Even though when you ask the pastor the next question, well, who's the authority in America?
00:13:25.000It's we, the people in America, not the mayors, not the governors, but they don't read that far.
00:13:33.000It is the church that needs to rise, that needs to stand for this biblical truth and identify wokeism wherever we see it.
00:13:44.000And in 2024, it will be a testing moment.
00:13:47.000You're going to hear from the Russell Moore types, oh, don't get involved in politics.
00:13:52.000There's no difference to the two parties.
00:15:11.000And finally, that we will never allow the Bride of Christ, the church, to be labeled non-essential again.
00:15:17.000When marijuana dispensaries, liquor stores, and convenience stores were lamed essential, we will never close the church for what you call a pandemic again, period.
00:15:31.000You need to go home to your pastor and ask those three questions.
00:17:02.000The Democrats in the Senate and the House agreed to block a bill that would have notified you as a parent if your teenager was currently undergoing transgender conversion therapy.
