00:00:36.000 Wonderful people.
00:00:37.000 I asked the question: what is Christian nationalism?
00:00:41.000 Email me directly, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:44.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:44.000 Here we go.

00:00:47.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:49.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:52.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:56.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:57.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:58.000 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.
00:01:06.000 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.
00:01:15.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:18.000 Hey, everybody.
00:01:20.000 Pastor Mark's amazing.
00:01:21.000 Honor to be here.
00:01:22.000 And what an amazing job the Flashpoint team does.
00:01:25.000 It's just incredible.
00:01:26.000 Thank you guys so much.
00:01:30.000 I'm honored to be here.
00:01:31.000 We had our incredible Turning Point USA Student Action Summit last weekend.
00:01:36.000 And Flashpoint was there.
00:01:37.000 We had 5,000 students from across America in Tampa, Florida.
00:01:42.000 5,000 students.
00:01:44.000 And you might have seen somebody on television had something to say about our students.
00:01:51.000 So we had this incredible event.
00:01:54.000 And while the event is going on, our security informs me, Charlie, there are these neo-Nazis outside.
00:02:00.000 I said, what are you talking about?
00:02:01.000 That's weird.
00:02:02.000 And mind you, they were all masked and they had flags that looked like they just got purchased recently.
00:02:08.000 Very suspicious.
00:02:09.000 And it happened right after the liberal protests.
00:02:12.000 And so they're out there.
00:02:14.000 And I say, get rid of them if we can.
00:02:15.000 They're on public property.
00:02:16.000 And this whole thing unfolds. 1.00
00:02:18.000 And our students, God bless our students, go out and say, get out of here, Nazi scum, the whole thing, right? 0.99
00:02:23.000 And after a couple minutes, they leave and the press writes it up and we condemn the whole thing. 0.99
00:02:31.000 And I thought that was the end of it.
00:02:33.000 And so then The View, which I have to say, which I have to say, I think The View got more viewership this week than they have in a very long time.
00:02:47.000 Where they start to talk about our event.
00:02:49.000 Joy Behar starts to go on and then Whoopi Goldberg comes out and she smears say big they're big fans, right?
00:02:58.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:02:58.000 So she says, amazingly, she says, the Turning Point USA team let the Nazis into our event and you guys are complicit.
00:03:09.000 And it was hilarious because right after the break, you could tell someone from the ABC News legal department gotten Whoopee's ear and she had to do a retraction, but her retraction was so awful that she was like, well, they were there with you metaphorically.
00:03:21.000 They were amongst you.
00:03:22.000 And so this started a sequence of days of retractions and apologies from the View, of which only started to get taken seriously when we sent them a cease and desist letter saying, if you move any further, we're going to have to sue you.
00:03:36.000 And this is an important, this is an important thing, which is not about me.
00:03:40.000 It's not even about Turning Point. 0.95
00:03:42.000 It's about our 5,000 students that were smeared by those smug, arrogant Hollywood liberals.
00:03:49.000 And the message that I think we need to bring forward right now as Christians and as conservatives and patriots is, look, you could do whatever you want to me, but our children are off limits, totally and completely.
00:04:01.000 End of story.
00:04:02.000 We're not going to put up with it anymore.
00:04:04.000 We are not going to allow our children to be smeared on television, to be slandered.
00:04:09.000 We're not going to allow our kids to be prescribed chemical castration drugs without parental notification.
00:04:17.000 We're not going to allow these freak shows that they call drag queens to be happening in public spaces across the country. 1.00
00:04:24.000 You see, this new movement that you are all part of is something that is bubbling up from the bottom up.
00:04:30.000 And it's not even political.
00:04:32.000 It is engaging in the spiritual because it's saying to the leaders of our society that we are willing to use our power to protect those that cannot protect themselves.
00:04:44.000 And isn't that the great example of whether or not a society is morally centered or not?
00:04:50.000 Every major civilization that falls and crumbles turns their back on a nation's young people always.
00:04:57.000 And isn't it interesting?
00:04:59.000 You know, we were told for many years, we had Pride Month in June, whatever that is, and it was super like everywhere, flags, this whole thing.
00:05:05.000 It's like, are we a conquered country at this point?
00:05:08.000 Where it's like, you see the gay flag more than you see the United States of America flag? 1.00
00:05:12.000 And by the way, I think some of us at some point said, you know what?
00:05:16.000 Okay, whatever, live and let live.
00:05:18.000 When in reality, it's live and let them rule, not live and let live.
00:05:24.000 And it goes in these steps. 0.83
00:05:26.000 First, the step is, hey, you have to tolerate the homosexual agenda. 0.95
00:05:32.000 And you're like, that's kind of okay, whatever.
00:05:34.000 I think a lot of people say whatever.
00:05:37.000 But then they say, okay, after you tolerate it, you must then participate.
00:05:44.000 And then you must celebrate.
00:05:45.000 You're like, wait a second.
00:05:47.000 That went a long way from tolerance to all of a sudden to participation and celebration.
00:05:53.000 And isn't it interesting that after all these debates that have happened over the last couple years, that where does it land?
00:05:59.000 It ends with our children.
00:06:01.000 And this is the fight in front of us right now.
00:06:03.000 When historians look back at this moment in time, they will ask the question, did the people that had power do what might have been politically correct or unpopular to the media to protect those who could not protect themselves?
00:06:17.000 That is the challenge in front of us, everybody, to say very firm lines.
00:06:21.000 We're not going to put up with drag queen story hour in the local Fort Worth schools. 0.93
00:06:26.000 We're not going to put up with child pornography in textbooks.
00:06:29.000 We're not going to put up with this.
00:06:31.000 And we as Christians, by the way, have a moral prerogative to be in this fight.
00:06:38.000 Jesus was very clear about what happens when you go after children.
00:06:44.000 And we're starting to see the emergence of two political parties.
00:06:48.000 We have the Parents Party, which we're all part of.
00:06:51.000 And on the other side, we have the Groomers Party or the Perverts Party. 0.89
00:06:56.000 What do you want to call it?
00:06:57.000 And by the way, the only way you defeat them is not just at the ballot box, but you must call out the lies.
00:07:03.000 And we must do it twice as hard as they've come after us because they're not going to go away.
00:07:09.000 You see what's happening here, and I deal with a lot of nations' young people right now.
00:07:13.000 This is the most depressed, suicidal, alcohol-addicted, drug-addicted, and psychiatric drug-addicted generation in history.
00:07:21.000 Our nation's young people are being targeted by the enemy, being targeted as if they could be turned towards secular humanism.
00:07:29.000 What an amazing opportunity for those of us that are Christians, for those of us that are patriots to say we can now lead a revival to the very community that the enemy has targeted more than any other.
00:07:40.000 Because this, we just talked to an amazing group of young people.
00:07:42.000 This generation has been told nothing but nihilistic and cynical lies.
00:07:47.000 They've been told to stay at home 15 days to slow the spread.
00:07:51.000 Go get the vaccine.
00:07:52.000 Wear a mask when you shower. 1.00
00:07:54.000 Go post the black square because America is systemically racist. 0.99
00:07:59.000 And at every single turn, this generation, young people, have been misled down this pattern of deceit and smugness and arrogance. 0.87
00:08:08.000 What an opportunity for the body of Christ to rise up and say, There is a beautiful life ahead of you, but first you give your life to Jesus Christ and you will be free from what is around you.
00:08:22.000 We locked down the country totally unnecessarily to try to protect a generation of which there is the virus posed little to no threat against them in the first place.
00:08:35.000 And so now we have the last couple years and we can look at what's happened in our country.
00:08:41.000 And it's important that we recognize that it was not the virus that hurt young people.
00:08:46.000 It was our reaction to the virus that hurt students and young people.
00:08:50.000 And a lot of people will say, well, students just need to work harder and apply themselves more.
00:08:55.000 I think there's some truth to that.
00:08:57.000 But more than anything else, we must recognize that those of us that are adults, and all of us did this in one shape or form whatsoever, we violated the moral promise, which is that adults are supposed to sacrifice their own livelihood for their children.
00:09:14.000 Locking down schools will go down as one of the worst mistakes in the history of our country, and we will never allow our schools or our churches to be locked down again, period.
00:09:33.000 And now they're trying to say, well, we need more lockdowns.
00:09:36.000 And you say, what do you need lockdowns for?
00:09:38.000 And isn't it interesting how the media covered the original reaction to the virus?
00:09:45.000 Remember, they said, if you have church service on Easter, you're a super spreader.
00:09:50.000 They were arresting pastors for defying these government ordinances.
00:09:54.000 And some pastors, by the way, fell to the lie of Romans 13.
00:09:59.000 So Romans 13, by the way, you could use this for all of your pastors and your friends.
00:10:03.000 So Romans 13 says that you must submit to your governing authorities because they're there for your good.
00:10:09.000 Now, this is what's so beautiful about the founding fathers: the question must be, well, who's the governing authorities in America?
00:10:15.000 We, the people, are the governing authorities, not the mayor, not the governor, not the senator.
00:10:22.000 And so, when they tried to lock us down, the mayors were violating Romans 13, and we were staying, we were staying biblically obedient during all of it.
00:10:33.000 But it's so interesting where they were so quick to go blame Christians as super spreaders.
00:10:38.000 And yet, you see what's happening, and they're trying to shut down the country for monkeypox now.
00:10:44.000 And by the way, this has just been so illuminating to me because they say, you know, we have to be very careful when we talk about monkeypox.
00:10:52.000 Let me be very clear: I'm not afraid of getting monkeypox at all.
00:10:56.000 And they were very quick to go after Christians to go lock down the entire society, but they don't want to say out loud, oh, why is monkeypox spreading? 0.98
00:11:06.000 Because I don't know, gay orgies in San Francisco are spreading it. 0.98
00:11:10.000 And they say, well, you can't say, I just did, I'll say it again, because gay orgies are spreading it in San Francisco. 1.00
00:11:16.000 And we're not going to lock down our country over something I can't say out loud again. 0.97
00:11:20.000 And this is important.
00:11:22.000 People say, well, that makes me very uncomfortable.
00:11:24.000 They're going to try to lock down our society if we're afraid to tell the truth.
00:11:28.000 How many times have they done this over the last year?
00:11:30.000 Well, we're afraid to talk about ivermectin.
00:11:32.000 We're afraid to talk about whether or not you look to the vaccine adverse event reporting system website when it comes to the vaccine.
00:11:38.000 How many lives were lost because people were afraid to say the truth.
00:11:45.000 And this is what the defining moment for us as Christians.
00:11:48.000 I love watching the media.
00:11:49.000 They don't really know what to do with all of you.
00:11:51.000 So what they say is, they say, well, this is a disturbing movement of Christian nationalism.
00:11:56.000 Do you know what that's code for?
00:11:58.000 You know what that's code for?
00:11:59.000 That means you're starting to care and they're getting scared.
00:12:03.000 That's what that means.
00:12:08.000 That means all of a sudden, Christians are going to start following Jeremiah 29, 7. 0.99
00:12:13.000 Demand the welfare of the nation that we are in because your welfare is tied to your nation's welfare.
00:12:19.000 That is the Lord speaking.
00:12:21.000 You see, they want a church that rolls over and is obedient.
00:12:27.000 They want to have the church to lock down and mask and back, as Rick Warren would say.
00:12:33.000 They want a church that will be obedient to evil.
00:12:37.000 Do you know what really bothers them?
00:12:39.000 Our history.
00:12:41.000 It was the black robe regimen that founded America. 0.99
00:12:46.000 55 out of 56 of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were Bible-believing church-attending Christians.
00:12:53.000 It was Billy Graham who said in the 1980s that communism and socialism is Satan's religion.
00:13:00.000 It's always been pastors and the church that will catch America when it's in free fall.
00:13:05.000 You see, they know that they can execute their hostile takeover of America if the church remains quiet, silent, and complicit.
00:13:15.000 So there's three types of churches.
00:13:17.000 First of all, let's just thank the amazing Kenneth Copeland Ministries and Flashbook because they are the good type of ministry.
00:13:29.000 That is the courageous church that stands boldly and speaks with moral truth, that understand that liberty is not man's idea.
00:13:39.000 It is God's idea, and that it is up to us to protect it.
00:13:42.000 That our rights do not come from government, they come from God.
00:13:46.000 That is the courageous church.
00:13:48.000 People like Jack Hibbs, people that stand for truth and righteousness regardless of the cost. 0.72
00:13:53.000 Then there is the cowardly church. 0.97
00:13:56.000 We should love on the cowardly church. 0.98
00:13:58.000 We should try to bring the cowardly pastors into the courageous category. 0.92
00:14:02.000 We should challenge them and say, you could do better than this.
00:14:05.000 You know, I love it when pastors say, well, you know, we don't take stances around this sort of stuff at our church.
00:14:11.000 And I wonder, I say, well, what exactly do you take a stance on?
00:14:15.000 And they say, well, we're not a political church.
00:14:17.000 Well, are you a moral church?
00:14:21.000 Well, they say, well, we're not here to be controversial.
00:14:24.000 Hey, the gospel's rather controversial.
00:14:28.000 The gospel says that we are so flawed that you need to give yourself to Jesus Christ and only through him you get to eternity.
00:14:35.000 If that's not controversial, then what exactly is controversial?
00:14:39.000 You see, Jesus says, I am the only way, not a way.
00:14:44.000 Jesus didn't say there's a buffet option of the ways you could do the Taoist way.
00:14:47.000 No, he said, I am the way.
00:14:49.000 That might offend somebody.
00:14:53.000 I am afraid that too many talented pastors right now are afraid of offending somebody when in reality we are a nation starving for truth.
00:15:01.000 Now, why are they so afraid?
00:15:03.000 Because too much of American Christianity is invested in buildings and budgets and trying to expand their reach when in reality, you look at what Flashpoint is doing, the rest of the world doesn't approve of this.
00:15:15.000 Good.
00:15:15.000 That's how you know you're doing your job.
00:15:19.000 That's the seal of approval.
00:15:22.000 I always laugh when pastors say, you know, yeah, we're not really under attack here.
00:15:25.000 That's because Satan doesn't think he should waste his time on you.
00:15:30.000 Satan is not omniscient.
00:15:32.000 He has to allocate, the enemy has to allocate his time.
00:15:36.000 As Jesus said, he is the prince of this world to the churches that are really making a difference.
00:15:40.000 But you know what's amazing is the Lord is blessing the courageous churches and ministries right now.
00:15:45.000 You see, if you are a cowardly church, for example, here's how you know if you have a cowardly pastor, they didn't say a word after Roe versus Wade was overturned.
00:15:54.000 I'm sure you all know a pastor like that. 0.65
00:15:56.000 They should resign from the ministry or find some courage because we just overturned one of the worst demonic decisions in the history of our country. 0.98
00:16:17.000 We got a love on the cowardly pastors. 0.98
00:16:19.000 Bring them in. 1.00
00:16:20.000 Say, hey, we'll take the arrows for you. 0.98
00:16:22.000 You got to speak clearly.
00:16:23.000 And then sometimes they say, well, it's not very, it's not clear to me how the Bible speaks to today's time.
00:16:29.000 I'm like, wow, have you read Romans 1?
00:16:31.000 Like, hello?
00:16:34.000 How about this?
00:16:34.000 God created man and God created woman.
00:16:36.000 How about you give a sermon on that?
00:16:38.000 While our young people are being preyed on by government school predators and groomers, the clarity of the church is missing, but it's growing and changing.
00:16:48.000 The final category is the complicit church.
00:16:52.000 The complicit church that goes out of their way for the seal of approval of the world. 0.88
00:16:56.000 1 Peter warns us about these types of churches, where the best one is where they have the gay flag outside of their church or the Black Lives Matter flag. 0.78
00:17:06.000 And I just always, I always wonder, I say, whose approval are they actually trying to seek?
00:17:13.000 Some Instagram follower?
00:17:15.000 The approval of the world?
00:17:17.000 Now, we should do everything with love and grace as Jesus commanded us.
00:17:21.000 But I'll tell you, and it's funny, the complicit pastors never want to talk to me.
00:17:25.000 It's very interesting.
00:17:27.000 But you could, here's the takeaway, though: 99.9% of the time, the complicit churches have bad politics because they have bad theology.
00:17:38.000 If you say that, well, the Bible is a bunch of metaphors, then your politics are going to be pretty awful.
00:17:45.000 But if you believe the Bible is the inerrant word of God, it will lead you to the truth in all things from government to philosophy, politics, all the way down.
00:17:57.000 I want to close with a couple thoughts here: which is our future right now of America, which is the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of the world, it is not yet determined.
00:18:08.000 It is all incumbent on our own action.
00:18:10.000 I know that's why so many of you are here tonight.
00:18:13.000 And my call for you tonight is not just to attend these events and get charged up, but to pray and fast for your nation.
00:18:21.000 So the Lord will speak to you through the Holy Spirit and show you what needs to be done.
00:18:26.000 It could be anything from running from a school board, running for a school board meeting.
00:18:29.000 You could run from a school board, but I wouldn't be that.
00:18:32.000 They should be running from you, by the way.
00:18:33.000 Okay, let's be very clear.
00:18:37.000 You can homeschool your children.
00:18:38.000 God bless the American homeschooling population, by the way.
00:18:44.000 There's so many things you can get engaged and get involved with, but no longer is this going to be a spectator sport.
00:18:53.000 I know many of you came here tonight and you say, Charlie, I've done everything that has been asked of me.
00:18:59.000 I watch Tucker Carlson every night.
00:19:04.000 I bought the pillow.
00:19:15.000 By the way, promo code Kirk at mypillow.com, just so we're clear, okay?
00:19:20.000 I have a closet full of relief factor.
00:19:22.000 I reverse-mortgaged my home.
00:19:24.000 I have more gold than I know what to do with.
00:19:25.000 I have this Trump coin.
00:19:26.000 I don't even know what it does.
00:19:27.000 I've done everything that's been asked of me.
00:19:29.000 Hey, that's a good start.
00:19:31.000 That's the starter pack for an American patriot, okay?
00:19:36.000 But let's be honest.
00:19:38.000 What does the left fear the most?
00:19:40.000 Citizens rising up.
00:19:43.000 They fear you caring so much, you're willing to spend time on a weekend to hear about this to become a better informed citizen.
00:19:49.000 They care about you showing up to tyranny wherever it shows.
00:19:53.000 By the way, in both Republican and Democrat circles, because it's not just Democrats that are doing this at times, they care about, they want to try to stop it in its tracks, and they do this through a variety of ways.
00:20:04.000 And I'll say this as quickly as I possibly can.
00:20:06.000 Number one, too many Christians say, Hey, Charlie, Jesus is coming next Thursday. 1.00
00:20:11.000 Who cares?
00:20:12.000 Now, I know there'll be a lot of debates between pre-trib and post-trib.
00:20:16.000 I'm pan-trib.
00:20:17.000 It's all going to pan out in the end, okay?
00:20:21.000 Here's what I'll say: you guys can have spirited debates.
00:20:24.000 Jesus said, occupy till I come.
00:20:26.000 Do not allow that to be an excuse to not act boldly and with courage.
00:20:35.000 This is a beautiful moment.
00:20:37.000 All of you have been waiting for this moment.
00:20:38.000 You just didn't know it your entire life.
00:20:40.000 You get, your action gets to decide the future of a civilization.
00:20:46.000 What a time to be alive.
00:20:49.000 We are ascendant.
00:20:50.000 The other side is paranoid and worried and nervous.
00:20:53.000 We have the truth.
00:20:55.000 We have numbers.
00:20:55.000 Yeah, they control Harvard, the New York Times, FBI, and all that stuff.
00:20:58.000 Who cares?
00:21:00.000 We have the Spirit of the Lord.
00:21:02.000 We have your action, your passion, your intensity.
00:21:06.000 And I will close with this story from the greatest man who lived in the 20th century, Winston Churchill.
00:21:12.000 Winston Churchill was the only man smiling the morning after Pearl Harbor.
00:21:17.000 He walked into his war cabinet meeting with a thing of whiskey and a cigar, and he was chipper and more joyful than ever.
00:21:24.000 He walks into the war cabinet meeting.
00:21:26.000 Everyone is somber and upset.
00:21:28.000 And he takes a sip of whiskey.
00:21:29.000 He says, Gents, we have won the war.
00:21:33.000 And someone says, What?
00:21:34.000 He says it again.
00:21:35.000 We have won the war. 1.00
00:21:37.000 Someone had the courage to turn to him and say, Have you lost your bloody mind? 0.98
00:21:42.000 We're losing a thousand Royal Air Force members a day. 0.99
00:21:46.000 We barely got our troops out of Dunkirk.
00:21:48.000 They're bombing London mercilessly.
00:21:50.000 In fact, they bombed a hospital last night.
00:21:52.000 Your approval ratings are so low, we need two microscopes to find your supporters.
00:21:57.000 What do you mean we have won the war?
00:21:59.000 And Churchill allows the silence to soak through the room and takes a puff of a cigar, another sip of whiskey, it being 9 a.m.
00:22:06.000 He then turns to his war cabinet and says, I have studied the Americans and got to know them rather well.
00:22:13.000 They are unique people.
00:22:14.000 You see, they're slow to the party, but once Americans have awakened, I could tell you right now, my friends, the war is over.
00:22:23.000 We wake up, they lose.
00:22:25.000 God bless you guys.
