00:01:00.000 This is my conversation with Pastor Greg Farrington from the wonderful Destiny Church in Rockland, California.

00:01:06.000 Buckle up. 0.96

00:01:07.000 Here we go.

00:01:09.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:01:10.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:01:12.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:01:16.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:19.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:20.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:21.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:01:28.000 Turning point USA. 0.65

00:01:30.000 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.

00:01:38.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:42.000 Welcome, Charlie.

00:01:44.000 There you go.

00:01:45.000 Yeah.

00:01:46.000 Pretty good group for us.

00:01:48.000 Yeah, it's not bad for 7:30.

00:01:50.000 We were texting back and forth.

00:01:51.000 We said, you know, we're going to have to believe in resurrection this morning.

00:01:55.000 We thought maybe we'd have to have a Lazarus moment, which I preached on last week.

00:02:01.000 So, no, these people are ready.

00:02:04.000 These people right here, this group, they run the world.

00:02:06.000 These people, they run the world.

00:02:08.000 And, you know, you have to have different sermons for the 8:30 and the 11.

00:02:13.000 The 8:30 is all about, you know, continuing to get up early and conquering the world.

00:02:18.000 And, you know, the 11 is more about forgiveness and all about regretting the mistakes of last night.

00:02:25.000 So totally different type of sermon.

00:02:28.000 Well, the 11 o'clock crowd will be late for the rapture.

00:02:33.000 They're going to be the ones that come up second.

00:02:36.000 Exactly.

00:02:36.000 Yeah.

00:02:37.000 They'll miss the first call.

00:02:38.000 They'll get the second call.

00:02:41.000 But, Charlie, it's such a great honor to have you back at Destiny.

00:02:44.000 It's been about a little over a year as the pandemic rolled in.

00:02:49.000 I think it was November.

00:02:51.000 You were with us and you inspired us so much.

00:02:54.000 And obviously, we remain in contact and all of us remain in contact because we see you so much through social media.

00:03:01.000 And we want me to not talk a whole lot today and you talk more.

00:03:06.000 They hear me every week, all right?

00:03:08.000 But since God has put you on a, you know, this platform in America as one of the, if not the leading young, you know, conservative voice, you know, it's been an inspiration to all of us.

00:03:22.000 And I know we're going to say thank you at the end, but even before we begin this conversation, would you show your gratitude for Charlie for what he's done for our nation?

00:03:41.000 Amen.

00:03:44.000 Thank you.

00:03:50.000 Thank you.

00:03:51.000 That touches me.

00:03:52.000 And I mean, I don't get responses like that when I speak at Berkeley.

00:03:52.000 It does.

00:03:56.000 No.

00:03:57.000 No, you don't.

00:03:58.000 I will be speaking at Berkeley, by the way, April.

00:04:01.000 I want to get this right, 13th.

00:04:02.000 So I want all of you guys to try to come if you can.

00:04:05.000 That'd be a lot of fun.

00:04:06.000 But I want to say something, Greg, about you.

00:04:09.000 I speak at churches all across the country.

00:04:11.000 This is one of the healthiest churches that I have a chance to visit and encounter with.

00:04:15.000 I mean, just in those announcements, not only is there a civics ministry to celebrate our beautiful country, spiritual warfare classes to pour into the congregation, but this is a church that stands and fights.

00:04:29.000 This is a church that, based on the size, based on the amazing assets, the expectation was you were just going to shut down and not fight during the lockdowns.

00:04:40.000 And you are led very well here, everybody, because this church did the exact opposite and led with boldness and courage.

00:04:48.000 Thank you, Charlie.

00:04:50.000 So there's so much to talk about, so much.

00:04:53.000 And I got the right to questions so you can blame me.

00:04:57.000 I haven't seen them.

00:04:58.000 They haven't seen them.

00:04:59.000 So, you know, America has been hijacked.

00:05:05.000 The radical left, the socialist agenda, the liberal media.

00:05:12.000 It has invaded America, and they have wiped out biblical values. 0.98

00:05:19.000 I didn't say Western values, biblical values.

00:05:22.000 Religious freedoms have been called into question, and they're rewriting our history. 1.00

00:05:28.000 So what happens to America if we do not reverse this trend?

00:05:34.000 That's a really important question.

00:05:35.000 And should we even care as Christians? 0.62

00:05:37.000 That's the first question, right?

00:05:39.000 And you guys already got the answer, right?

00:05:41.000 But you're in the minority of churches, just so you know.

00:05:44.000 Most churches are saying, you know what, who cares if America falls?

00:05:48.000 Well, that's in direct defiance to Jeremiah 29, 7, where the Lord says, you need to demand, it's that Hebrew word, badrash, the welfare, the shalom of the nation that you are in, because your welfare is tied to your nation's welfare. 0.84

00:06:01.000 We are commanded to care about our country.

00:06:03.000 We're commanded to care about our fellow countrymen, to care about the people that we live alongside.

00:06:09.000 We're not just supposed to be supposed to be filled with ingratitude or as if the nation doesn't matter.

00:06:16.000 And, you know, I will venture an argument here that America is not a nation like any other.

00:06:21.000 We're an exceptional nation.

00:06:23.000 And the American founding is one of the great moments in human history where the teachings of the Bible, mixed with the breakthroughs of the Enlightenment and the courage of the founding fathers, where all of a sudden this revolution of self-government was started in the Western hemisphere.

00:06:37.000 Now, there were little experiments of it in Rome or in Greece, but nothing like what we've experienced in America.

00:06:43.000 And it's so easy to believe that every country has it like we do.

00:06:47.000 And you just look to our neighbors to the north in Canada, where they're not having church like this.

00:06:52.000 They're not.

00:06:53.000 Where pastors like Archer Pavlovsky are being arrested on the side of the street like a war criminal because he has church, where people's bank accounts are being seized because their politics are wrong, right?

00:07:04.000 And so the question is: how do you get there?

00:07:06.000 Well, you get there when all of a sudden in Canada or any one of these Western countries that seems to be slipping from their core values, either the people allow it to get there, they don't have a proper constitutional viewpoint.

00:07:18.000 But the most important thing is this, and this is why I think this is all being organized on a supernatural level, which is where when believers go silent, then tyranny and darkness will spread.

00:07:28.000 That's right.

00:07:29.000 And so, look, God does not want his people to ever live in any form of tyranny.

00:07:34.000 He doesn't want you to live in spiritual tyranny.

00:07:36.000 He doesn't want you to live in the tyranny of addiction.

00:07:39.000 And he certainly doesn't want you to live under the tyranny of government.

00:07:42.000 God delivers his people under tyranny.

00:07:44.000 That's the story of Exodus.

00:07:46.000 It says in John that you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.

00:07:49.000 The story of Jesus, the story of the Bible, is that our natural state is that we are captured by sin.

00:07:55.000 We're captured by the tyranny of the mind or the tyranny of temptation.

00:07:59.000 God doesn't want us to live under that kind of authoritarianism.

00:08:02.000 But don't you notice that it's almost as if no matter how hard we try, we almost always slip back in that direction.

00:08:08.000 That's because freedom is really hard.

00:08:10.000 It is.

00:08:11.000 Liberty requires responsibility.

00:08:12.000 It requires vigilance.

00:08:13.000 It requires coming to the 7:30, 8:30 service and getting up and taking responsibility.

00:08:18.000 And I won't say that in the next service, but totally different approach.

00:08:22.000 But the point, and your question is right on what happens if America falls, basically is part of the questioner.

00:08:29.000 Yeah, the world becomes a significantly less free place.

00:08:31.000 Satan will pop a bottle of champagne if America falls.

00:08:35.000 It's that simple.

00:08:36.000 He would love nothing more than to crush the nation where self-government and consent of the governed, independent judiciary, where the structure of our system embeds freedom to continue and the pursuit of virtue, for the flourishing of families, for entrepreneurs to take risks, for people to be able to pursue the life that they see fit.

00:08:55.000 And embedded in the American project and the American story is the equality principle.

00:09:00.000 You don't get the equality principle by looking through a magnifying glass or by in some sort of scientific experiment.

00:09:07.000 You get the equality principle through Christian values.

00:09:10.000 It's that simple.

00:09:11.000 And the equality principle is very simple.

00:09:12.000 We're all made in the image of God.

00:09:13.000 We're image bearers.

00:09:14.000 And you all deserve a right to flourish, that you all deserve a right to be able to succeed.

00:09:19.000 You all deserve a right to be able to improve your life.

00:09:21.000 You all deserve a right to be able to improve yourself.

00:09:27.000 And so if America falls, there is no other nation that will carry that.

00:09:31.000 It's just the way it is.

00:09:33.000 The powers to be internationally right now, whether it be the Chinese Communist Party, which is the largest atheistic experiment in human history, where they don't just not believe in freedom, they specifically believe in the destruction of human liberty and freedom.

00:09:46.000 And so this is the question for the church.

00:09:48.000 And Destiny is leading the charge.

00:09:50.000 You guys are in the top 1% of 1%.

00:09:52.000 I mean, I could say the top 30 churches in America.

00:09:55.000 You guys are right there with actually doing what needs to be done.

00:09:58.000 And I could say that after speaking at over 150, 200 churches in just the last year and a half, two years.

00:10:04.000 And we're talking about tens of thousands of churches, almost 100,000 churches, which is, will the church stand and fight?

00:10:11.000 And it's an open-ended question right now, but it's on us believers to take responsibility for this moment.

00:10:16.000 You know, we've had Senator Tim Scott here on the stage with Governor Huckleby.

00:10:25.000 Now, Senator Scott, when he got exercised, like you just got exercised, he almost took off his jacket and started doing a Southern Baptist type of deal.

00:10:36.000 So if you want to throw off your jacket and go, okay, these people are comfortable with that.

00:10:42.000 All right.

00:10:44.000 So battlegrounds to stop the invasion of this liberal agenda.

00:10:54.000 The place that this fought battle is fought is in public schools.

00:10:59.000 We have, you know, we have Rockland trustees right here on the front row.

00:11:04.000 I just want to reinforce how important what they are doing is.

00:11:07.000 I mean, I'm telling you right now, some of the most important work in the country.

00:11:11.000 It really is.

00:11:13.000 So ideology and indoctrination happens in public schools.

00:11:18.000 So again, if the church doesn't step up, if we don't elect good people like these people, where is public education in five to ten years in America?

00:11:28.000 Well, I mean, it's already a complete and total moral travesty, which is exactly why homeschooling has quadrupled in the last two years in America.

00:11:36.000 This is why parents are starting to rise up and question their kids' education, and they should.

00:11:41.000 I mean, look, but I mean, in the ideal, I want public education not to be a radical indoctrination camp of the worst impulses of humanity that are exposing children to radical sexual education courses at age eight or anti-American history.

00:11:55.000 We want public education to be rock solid.

00:11:58.000 All of you should want that, by the way.

00:12:00.000 And I just want to, some people say, Charlie, I'm never sending my kids to public school.

00:12:04.000 I said, well, if you either want to live in a society or you don't, right?

00:12:04.000 I don't care.

00:12:07.000 I mean, you either want to live where your fellow countrymen actually have a respect for the place that we all want to preserve and protect.

00:12:15.000 And this is where, you know, the work we do at Turning Point USA, I think we're right over the target as one of the most important things that we can do to fight this invisible war that is now visible, which is if you do not tell the story of America properly to young people, then they won't want to conserve or protect it.

00:12:34.000 And look, we are suffering from an almost American Alzheimer's moment.

00:12:39.000 We don't know who we are.

00:12:42.000 We've forgotten everything that has come before us.

00:12:44.000 We're tearing down statues of Thomas Jefferson or of Abraham Lincoln.

00:12:48.000 I mean, these people are the heroes of our nation that have accomplished such incredible feats to design a system that all of us have allowed to flourish.

00:12:57.000 And millions of people from around the planet have been able to come here and build meaningful and substantial lives.

00:13:03.000 And so the question in the school system is a couple things.

00:13:06.000 So what is the goal of a school system, right?

00:13:09.000 Well, do you want to create activists?

00:13:11.000 I always laugh when I go to some of these school board websites.

00:13:14.000 And I speak at school boards every so often just because it's fun.

00:13:17.000 It's like sport.

00:13:20.000 You should all do it, by the way.

00:13:22.000 It's very cathartic.

00:13:24.000 Cheaper than therapy, I'll tell you.

00:13:27.000 So I go to these school board websites, absent the superstars we have here, right?

00:13:32.000 Most of them say, you know, we're here to want to create global citizens for change.

00:13:37.000 And I said, who told you that was the purpose of education?

00:13:41.000 And that's, by the way, a lot of school boards.

00:13:43.000 And so I'm a big mission statement guy, meaning you could tell a lot by an organization or a company just based on their mission statement.

00:13:49.000 Because we have a mission statement as a country.

00:13:52.000 The mission statement started with when in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the ties, the political bands that ties one person to the other.

00:13:58.000 That's a big statement.

00:13:59.000 Whoa.

00:14:00.000 Okay.

00:14:01.000 That's an eternal statement.

00:14:02.000 That means human beings deserve to be free.

00:14:05.000 Whoa, that's a good mission statement, right?

00:14:08.000 So I go to these education websites and their mission statements are all over the place, right?

00:14:14.000 We're here to try to open students' eyes to the injustice of the world.

00:14:17.000 Who told you that was the purpose of education?

00:14:20.000 And rarely do you ever see, and this is the slippage of public education, what education should be, which is to develop the whole human being to be able to fill with gratitude and integrity and courage to embark in a very difficult and complicated world to pursue truth and to protect liberty.

00:14:38.000 That's what education should do.

00:14:39.000 Joshua.

00:14:40.000 Josh.

00:14:42.000 So you're going to go to Berkeley, all right?

00:14:45.000 Yes, you're going to go to Berkeley.

00:14:47.000 So parents here, their kids are getting ready to graduate.

00:14:52.000 This has got to be a quick one.

00:14:54.000 What would you say to a mom and dad who are considering singing their kid off to college?

00:15:00.000 Be careful.

00:15:02.000 And I mean, I'm very outspoken about this, and I have to always preface this.

00:15:05.000 I say a lot of things that I thought would be controversial.

00:15:08.000 You know, I say things such as men can't become pregnant and, you know, men are different than women. 1.00

00:15:14.000 I say all these sort of thought crimes, right?

00:15:17.000 But the thing that really kind of gets me more hate mail than anything else is when I decide to go indict the college cartel, okay?

00:15:25.000 So if you're offended by this, I'm sorry.

00:15:30.000 Have a nice day.

00:15:31.000 So, right?

00:15:32.000 So I'm going to be very honest.

00:15:34.000 You guys wouldn't want anything else.

00:15:35.000 I don't do the political correct thing.

00:15:37.000 Okay.

00:15:38.000 So look, this is.

00:15:38.000 Yes, we wouldn't.

00:15:39.000 So we wouldn't want that.

00:15:41.000 So look, I'm going to be, college is largely a scam in America and unnecessary for most kids that go to college.

00:15:48.000 And so I'm going to tell you why, and I'm going to prove it to you, and then I'm going to say why it doesn't change, okay?

00:15:53.000 So look, first of all, 41% of kids that go to college don't graduate.

00:15:58.000 41%.

00:15:59.000 Every person in this room knows somebody or you are somebody that went to college and you dropped out.

00:16:04.000 There is this belief that you must go to college to get a higher wage.

00:16:07.000 It's just not true.

00:16:09.000 Every one of those studies is faulty because it doesn't factor in what you're actually studying.

00:16:13.000 It doesn't factor in your work ethic, your integrity, all these other different things, right?

00:16:17.000 Not to mention the dropout rate as it is.

00:16:19.000 But let's just look at an average college or university where the average student debt burden is anywhere between $35,000 to $40,000 and going up from there.

00:16:28.000 So we have a generation of young people where we're telling them to go borrow money they don't have, to study things that don't matter, to go find jobs that don't exist, into an increasing marketplace where they're not actually being filled with skills, nor are they developing the full human being.

00:16:41.000 So I would be fully on board for college if every college like Hillsdale College, where they're pursuing, where they're going deep into the classics, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, Aquinas, and Augustine and Bacon and Newton, and they're really diving into the great books.

00:16:55.000 It's the opposite.

00:16:56.000 They're training activists.

00:16:58.000 And instead, it's this community that's been created where they want you to believe there is no God.

00:17:04.000 And if there is a God, it's you.

00:17:07.000 It's like, whoa, okay.

00:17:08.000 You're God.

00:17:08.000 Yeah, you're God.

00:17:10.000 You can make the decisions you want to make.

00:17:12.000 And I mean, I run a college organization, right?

00:17:14.000 I have visited well over 175 colleges.

00:17:17.000 Turning point USA is now on over 3,000 high school and college campuses across the country, right?

00:17:22.000 Praise God.

00:17:23.000 And so I say this with a good amount of authority, which is college is damaging our country more than most people could ever realize.

00:17:31.000 Every major bad idea that makes your head turn and you kind of think stems from a college campus.

00:17:38.000 Every single one.

00:17:40.000 They don't just kind of come out of thin air.

00:17:42.000 They don't come from Google and then the college campuses.

00:17:45.000 They go from college campuses, then they go to Google.

00:17:48.000 Now, why is that?

00:17:49.000 Well, college campuses have no wisdom.

00:17:51.000 Why?

00:17:52.000 Because there is no God.

00:17:54.000 Wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord.

00:17:56.000 And that is why there's no wisdom at these places.

00:17:59.000 And so, look, I just challenge parents a couple things.

00:18:03.000 First of all, your kid probably does not need to go to college.

00:18:06.000 I'm just going to be very honest.

00:18:07.000 Now, if they want to become a lawyer, an accountant, or they want to get something very specific done, then probably, okay?

00:18:13.000 But if they're going to go study North African lesbian poetry or whatever it is that or whatever.

00:18:29.000 But look, let's go a level deeper though, which is, is it worth the four years where you have the most energy, the most ambition, the most drive, the most hustle to go to a place where everything is negative, you're wearing a mask, you learn to hate your country.

00:18:44.000 Is that the best use of our greatest asset?

00:18:46.000 Of course not.

00:18:47.000 The change makers of tomorrow, we should be saying, hey, go take the risk when you're 18.

00:18:53.000 Go start the business at that time.

00:18:55.000 Go do the apprenticeship.

00:18:56.000 And let's be very honest. 1.00

00:18:57.000 There is a deliberate campaign in our country right now to make the muscular class seem like they're the stupid ones. 1.00

00:19:06.000 As if the plumbers, the welders, the electricians, the police officers, and the people in our army are dumb. 1.00

00:19:12.000 And let me just say one more thing on this. 0.97

00:19:14.000 There's a massive out, there's a shortage of people that actually work with their hands.

00:19:18.000 Why?

00:19:19.000 Because we've sent an entire generation to literally go get physically, mentally, and spiritually weak by going to college campuses.

00:19:25.000 So in Scottsdale, when you call a plumber, they're like an extortionist.

00:19:29.000 They just charge whatever they want.

00:19:31.000 It's like, yeah, you need to do Johnson rod install.

00:19:33.000 I don't even know what that is.

00:19:34.000 Sure, you know, 3,000 bucks.

00:19:36.000 Yeah, fine.

00:19:37.000 I asked a plumber the other day, no college education, happy four kids.

00:19:40.000 He made $285,000 last year, five years out of college.

00:19:44.000 Now, I don't know a lot of college graduates that are making that.

00:19:49.000 I don't.

00:19:50.000 So, look, this is the last thing, and this is the real thought, Crane.

00:19:53.000 Parents, if it's about your ego, then don't send your kid to college.

00:19:57.000 And for most parents, this is true because you're afraid to tell your neighbors, to tell your relatives that little Johnny is not going to Stanford.

00:20:07.000 And that's the number one reason why kids go to college is because they're parents.

00:20:12.000 And it's not because the deep down parents know it's a scam, by the way.

00:20:14.000 They know it's a scam.

00:20:16.000 And so I would love to see a movement of kids taking gap years, more people taking risks, people asking for jobs earlier on.

00:20:25.000 We have 280 employees at Turning Point USA.

00:20:27.000 The best employees I have, the best ones are right out of high school, and they just want to work and they want to learn.

00:20:40.000 Okay, so let's shift gears.

00:20:42.000 Okay.

00:20:44.000 There was this thing, and you may have read about it in history called the pandemic.

00:20:48.000 It has magically disappeared.

00:20:48.000 Yes.

00:20:52.000 Boom.

00:20:53.000 And the short little guy with gray hair, he's vanished too.

00:20:58.000 I don't know what room they put him in, but Fauci, I'm sorry, I didn't want to use the F word, but Fauci is gone.

00:21:07.000 It's gone.

00:21:09.000 Wow.

00:21:16.000 What happened?

00:21:18.000 Where did the virus go?

00:21:19.000 Where did Fauci go?

00:21:22.000 Well, the virus is still spreading, I guess, a little bit right now, far less, largely because we decided to finally embrace a natural immunity kind of approach, which should have been part of our approach from the beginning.

00:21:35.000 I don't know if you're streaming on YouTube.

00:21:36.000 Are you streaming on YouTube?

00:21:37.000 I don't want to get your YouTube pulled.

00:21:38.000 I mean this very seriously.

00:21:40.000 I'm not like a guy that comes into somebody's church and blows up their, okay, so I'll be very careful the way I talk.

00:21:45.000 No, I have to be careful.

00:21:46.000 I've done this before.

00:21:47.000 Like, oh, see you later.

00:21:49.000 I get a call back.

00:21:50.000 They're like, yeah, our YouTube is gone.

00:21:52.000 I don't want to do that to you.

00:21:54.000 But let me just say this, that the war on early treatments was one of the great injustices of my entire life.

00:21:59.000 To see that people that very well could have been helped with early treatments, a variety of them, which I won't mention because Google would love nothing more than to take down this feed, was one of the great injustices of my lifetime.

00:22:10.000 So look, where did the virus go?

00:22:12.000 Well, look, the science did not change.

00:22:14.000 The political science changed, right?

00:22:16.000 So the calculus of the politics changed where all of a sudden people started to become increasingly angry about the measures, the lockdowns, the mask mandates, and everything associated with it.

00:22:26.000 I've been a huge critic against mask mandates since the very beginning, especially on children.

00:22:31.000 They have always been unnecessary for children.

00:22:33.000 In fact, they're very, very harmful.

00:22:35.000 The data shows that they're resulting in lower IQs and slurred speech and behavioral and developmental problems with children.

00:22:42.000 And I just found it to be super creepy in a variety of different ways where the people that are putting masks on children, they don't even believe it for themselves, but they're like super insistent for a while in California.

00:22:53.000 You guys lived through this, that kids must be wearing masks all the time.

00:22:57.000 It's just there's something, and I say this openly, it's demonic the way that we must have the children always masks.

00:23:04.000 I really believe it.

00:23:04.000 So, but let me look, I'm optimistic in one sense that, I mean, they've put Fauci in the witness protection program, right?

00:23:14.000 Largely because I think that there's a growing desire and an appetite for justice.

00:23:19.000 And look, in the human soul, we are wired towards justice, right?

00:23:23.000 This is why the Bible makes sense to us, because it's a document that's centered around justice.

00:23:28.000 And thank goodness, we don't get what we deserve.

00:23:31.000 Jesus gives us a way for us not to get what we deserve.

00:23:36.000 However, we are told we should never forsake earthly justice, especially in the civil and governmental realm.

00:23:43.000 And Anthony Fauci is a great example of someone who is a creature of the extra-constitutional order.

00:23:49.000 The reason I was always so angry about Fauci, always got so irritated about him, is that no one voted for him, that no one gave him permission to be there.

00:23:59.000 I mean, I'm all for criticizing leaders.

00:24:01.000 Obviously, I do that a lot.

00:24:02.000 But if you win an election and it's like, okay, there's a nuance to that.

00:24:07.000 This guy is a creature of failing upwards in the United States government over the last 40 years.

00:24:12.000 He has failed at everything he has always done.

00:24:14.000 The only thing he is good at is covering up scandals and corruption.

00:24:17.000 He's an expert at that.

00:24:19.000 And so the fourth branch of government, the CDC, the NIH, the CIA, all these kind of alphabet soup agencies was never part of the original structure or design of the United States Constitution.

00:24:32.000 It's about 100 years old as we have started to delegate all this authority, this unchecked power to this fourth branch of government.

00:24:39.000 So Anthony Fauci, who was largely unknown, unelected, had unlimited power.

00:24:44.000 And I will say this, I want you to think deeply about this over the next couple of days, and you might disagree, but I think he had more power than any other person in the history of humanity for a short period of time.

00:24:53.000 And I'll prove it to you.

00:24:54.000 No one was able to control the breathing of a billion people for a period of time, where your children were able to go to school or not go to school.

00:25:02.000 The movements of people, the thought, the philosophy.

00:25:04.000 I mean, the entire economy of a planet was basically orchestrated by an unelected person that none of you even knew existed 90 days before.

00:25:14.000 That alone should have been like a timeout.

00:25:15.000 Wait a second.

00:25:16.000 This is against our core principles.

00:25:18.000 Like you didn't canvas for signatures and we didn't give you permission to be able to do this.

00:25:23.000 And so, look, they've put him into hiding or wherever he is, largely because he's become super unpopular.

00:25:28.000 His numbers have gone down and gone south.

00:25:31.000 I am starting to see a massive amount of people now contact me privately and say, Charlie, you know, for example, when I spoke here at Destiny Church back in November of 2020, I came out kind of warning people that this vaccine might not be what you think it is, right?

00:25:46.000 That's all I'll say because we're on YouTube.

00:25:47.000 But I was just kind of like, hey, just be a little bit careful, right?

00:25:50.000 And boy, did I just get absolutely destroyed for that.

00:25:53.000 Now people contact, they say, wow, Charlie, there is a lot more to this story, actually, than what people realized or what we ever wanted to kind of talk about.

00:26:02.000 And so at the fundamental core of all of this is whether or not we as Americans will have the memory or the desire to hold the people accountable who committed these crimes against humanity.

00:26:15.000 And that's really the situation we're in right now.

00:26:17.000 And so it pains me to no end that hundreds of thousands of people were sent to the hospital and their treatment was, here's a ventilator.

00:26:30.000 It is so unbelievably unjust.

00:26:32.000 And I can say this just from personal experience of people that thank goodness I was able to help connect with all-star doctors and give them the treatment that helped them in a way.

00:26:41.000 It really just, it saddens me greatly.

00:26:44.000 Whether it be for profits or power, I look at it differently.

00:26:47.000 I look at it on a supernatural level.

00:26:49.000 I really do.

00:26:50.000 So don't, but one last part note on this is that all of this, I believe, was a social conditioning exercise to stress test the American people for what very well might come next.

00:27:01.000 People say, oh, is there another pandemic?

00:27:02.000 I don't know what's going to come next.

00:27:03.000 But all I know is this, is that the powers to be that just got to get their hands on this kind of unilateral and kind of widespread power, you think they're just going to got to back off and allow us to be free and enjoy liberty, maybe for a short period of time to try to make us forget, but be on guard and be vigilant.

00:27:21.000 That's good.

00:27:26.000 So about a week and a half ago, you were with Jack Hibbs and you did this whole thing on the Great Reset.

00:27:33.000 And I would encourage you to go watch it.

00:27:35.000 It's about, I don't know, it's about an hour and a half conversation.

00:27:40.000 And obviously, we can't go into that kind of depth, but we talk about what's next.

00:27:45.000 I believe this is not about red and blue.

00:27:49.000 I don't believe this is, hey, find a safe place and go to move there and you'll be safe.

00:27:55.000 I believe that there's a globalist agenda, which is in direct, you know, confirmation of the word of God.

00:28:03.000 So the globalists have an agenda.

00:28:06.000 How does it impact us today?

00:28:09.000 Yeah, thank you for saying that about my conversation with Jack.

00:28:12.000 I spent weeks preparing for that through study and just diving into the documents, which were all publicly available, which is the most fascinating part of the entire thing.

00:28:22.000 But really kind of doing some deep thinking about what's really happening in our world and how does it impact us.

00:28:27.000 I'll do a shortened version.

00:28:29.000 Everyone here, every believer needs to know about the World Economic Forum.

00:28:33.000 The World Economic Forum is a gathering, but also an organization of basically every major prime minister, business, individual, business leader, I should say, celebrities.

00:28:44.000 They gather in Davos, Switzerland, and they have an organization basically that puts forward goals and objectives and they put forward plans to be able to restructure the world in their image.

00:28:57.000 They also have something called the Young World Leaders Forum, which is basically a training boot camp for the next prime minister.

00:28:57.000 Okay.

00:29:05.000 So Emmanuel Macron, Justin Trudeau, Gavin Newsome, all these people have gone through the Young World Economic Freedom Program.

00:29:14.000 So they have eight goals of what they want the world to look like by 2030.

00:29:18.000 You might say, Charlie, how'd you get this?

00:29:20.000 Did you have a secret camera?

00:29:21.000 Did you have a whistleblower?

00:29:22.000 No, it's on their website.

00:29:24.000 So, and this is actually what's so interesting.

00:29:28.000 It's a psychological tactic that's very effective.

00:29:31.000 You could read lots of literature about this back in the 1960s.

00:29:34.000 You've all heard the phrase hiding in plain sight.

00:29:37.000 So they're employing the hiding in plain sight psychological manipulation tactic, which they put the crazy radical stuff right on their website because then people won't think it's actually very radical because they're not hiding it.

00:29:48.000 I know it's very counterintuitive, but it works.

00:29:50.000 It works really well because we take things more seriously if we act like, oh, it's secret and they were trying to hide it.

00:29:56.000 Like, okay, well, do we take it seriously if it's like broadcast right on their website?

00:30:00.000 Well, we should because they have realized, okay, we're actually just going to lead with what we want the world to look like.

00:30:06.000 So it's eight goals, eight objectives, eight ways they think the world is going to look by 2030.

00:30:11.000 This is all run by a man by the name of Klaus Schwab.

00:30:15.000 He is the closest thing to a bond villain I have ever seen.

00:30:20.000 The way he talks, he wears like a weird space suit.

00:30:23.000 It's very strange.

00:30:24.000 You guys can look this all up yourself.

00:30:26.000 In fact, I encourage you to.

00:30:28.000 I can go into some of the goals of the great reset if you want me to, Greg.

00:30:31.000 I can go to the biblical implications of this.

00:30:33.000 It's a very in-depth conversation.

00:30:36.000 And I could touch on this, Greg, as much as you want me to.

00:30:38.000 I'll just say one thing on the Jack Hibbs thing.

00:30:41.000 I spent time making sure I wasn't just talking about things people wouldn't understand.

00:30:46.000 And the feedback we've received, it has over 7 million views, by the way.

00:30:50.000 Praise God of our conversation there.

00:30:53.000 Is we made it easy for the everyday person to understand these global.

00:30:57.000 You guys did a great job kind of marrying the globalist agenda and the Bible and the end times.

00:31:04.000 And I think it would be just worth your time to go watch it.

00:31:08.000 We just don't have time to break that down right now.

00:31:11.000 Yeah.

00:31:11.000 And at the end of this discussion, I'm going to put up a link on screen where you guys can go look at that.

00:31:16.000 So the Bible talks about wars and rumors of wars.

00:31:19.000 You know, I believe that we are living in the last days.

00:31:24.000 Theologically, there's kind of a lot of perspectives.

00:31:27.000 So, you know, Russia, China, and who else will join maybe those types of nations?

00:31:36.000 As nations begin to war against each other right now, how does this play out for America?

00:31:43.000 Yeah, I mean, a lot of their warring, a lot of their aggression is because America has decided to allow it to happen.

00:31:50.000 We are now seeing the creation of an evil super alliance between the dictator of Russia and the dictator of China.

00:31:56.000 This is the new axis, and you could add Iran on top of it, and that's kind of going to be their vision of the new world order, right? 0.97

00:32:03.000 So it's a very important thing, which is that there is the great reset, folks, of the Klaus Schwabs, but then there's another competing worldview where they want to have a kind of globalist mindset, but only through their ethno-nationalist colonialist view of Russia and China imperialistically controlling the entire world.

00:32:20.000 So they're at tension in some ways, but they all agree on one thing.

00:32:24.000 And this is the thing that unifies the Klaus Schwabs and the Emmanuel Macrons and the Justin Trudeau's and the Putins and the Xi Ji Pings.

00:32:31.000 You know what that is?

00:32:32.000 America's in the way.

00:32:34.000 That's the thing they can all agree on.

00:32:36.000 And so if you just look at this biblically, which is if the good do not have courage, then evil will prosper.

00:32:44.000 And so we are the good.

00:32:46.000 And we are sitting idly by and allowing these, and I have to say, like satanic forces to continue to be on the march.

00:32:53.000 And so, and look, it's very simple in some sense, which is some of these people only understand power and they only understand force.

00:33:03.000 But when we are intentionally not participating in the global dialogue or in the actions of first building ourselves up and being energy independent and exporting our own energy, if we're not building up our military and being willing to use it prudently, then what actually circumstance are we going to be in?

00:33:22.000 And so what does it mean for America?

00:33:24.000 I mean, more for the world.

00:33:26.000 And this is a very important thing, which is as America decides to kind of just be a co-equal partner in this globalist project, humanity is going to go through a chapter that I'm afraid will be one of the bloodiest, costliest in recent memory.

00:33:42.000 And so you look at kind of what's happening, you know, on the international side, it's so frustrating to watch this, Greg, because for four years, we had the man that we were told is awful and terrible and is going to get us into war.

00:33:56.000 And he's the only president in the last 40 years that didn't get us into a new war.

00:34:02.000 I want you to think about that.

00:34:05.000 And by the way, I'm not here to like turn this into a Trump rally and all this.

00:34:09.000 I'm just being factual, okay?

00:34:11.000 Because some pastors email me.

00:34:13.000 They say, I can't stand.

00:34:14.000 The guy said, boy, I bet you would want some mean tweets right now, right?

00:34:17.000 The world was safer when you had all those angry tweets.

00:34:19.000 I can't stand.

00:34:21.000 He's unpresidential.

00:34:22.000 Yeah, less people were being slaughtered.

00:34:24.000 Okay.

00:34:25.000 And so why?

00:34:27.000 What made the man that we were supposed to hate broker in a peace where Ukraine was not being invaded or China was kept in check and Iran was not developing a nuclear weapon where we were energy independent, our border was getting sovereign and secure?

00:34:42.000 Well, there's a lot of different reasons, but the most important is that he did not have a commitment to a corrupt influence or an abstract ideology.

00:34:51.000 I want you to think this is so simple.

00:34:53.000 So one of the reasons, and he's also not dumb, which is part of what we have running our country right now, which is a nice thing.

00:35:01.000 And I'll get into that.

00:35:02.000 With all due respect.

00:35:04.000 Well, I mean, but yeah, I don't have respect for some of these people running our government.

00:35:08.000 I don't.

00:35:09.000 When you give $85 billion to the Taliban, it's either you're bought by them or you don't have the intellectual, you know, bandwidth.

00:35:17.000 $85 billion of weapons to the Taliban.

00:35:19.000 Way, let me just say this really quickly, which is he was not captured by some corrupt influence and he did not have some abstract ideology.

00:35:28.000 So, for example, this current regime, they are not willing or able to do what is necessary on the energy front because they believe that fossil fuels are destroying humanity.

00:35:37.000 They're captured by a false ideology.

00:35:40.000 Also, there's a lot of corruption, right?

00:35:41.000 There's a lot of different influences of prior business deals and things that have been peddled.

00:35:46.000 So, when those two things happen, you're not able to act appropriately to protect your values or your country.

00:35:51.000 But also, there was an unpredictability aspect to it where he was, boy, the scriptures talk about sly as a serpent and wise as a dove.

00:36:01.000 Yeah, harmless as a dove.

00:36:03.000 I mean, so he sat in a meeting with Vladimir Putin, and this is just this tells you everything you need to know, right?

00:36:08.000 And they were just kind of catching up.

00:36:10.000 And all of a sudden, Ukraine came up. 0.59

00:36:12.000 This is verified by three different sources.

00:36:14.000 And I know one of the sources that heard this, by the way.

00:36:16.000 And so, and so Trump says, Look, if you invade Ukraine, we're bombing Moscow immediately.

00:36:23.000 I'm just going to tell you right now, we're bombing Moscow.

00:36:26.000 And Putin says, Yeah, yeah, right.

00:36:34.000 He says, Those golden turrets, they will be melted in two minutes.

00:36:45.000 And the world was a safer place.

00:36:47.000 It just was.

00:36:50.000 So, um, I got three more questions.

00:36:53.000 We have about another 12, 13 minutes here, but I know you guys, you have to leave too because there's a people who are going to sit in your chairs.

00:37:03.000 Yeah, you have to.

00:37:05.000 We'll have security escort you.

00:37:10.000 So, the White House.

00:37:11.000 Yeah.

00:37:13.000 So, I'm going to put a bunch of thoughts together and then maybe whisp one question.

00:37:19.000 Doesn't look like Joe is running things to say it nicely.

00:37:28.000 The Democratic Party, from what we can see, is anti-God, anti-Bible, anti-America.

00:37:35.000 So, when we look at the next three years, you know, we have midterms coming, and I want you to comment in just a second about that.

00:37:47.000 But, what is the next three years of Joe Biden's administration like?

00:37:54.000 I mean, it's one of the great threats to Western civilization as we know it.

00:37:57.000 And I mean, I'm going to be very honest about my perspective.

00:38:01.000 It's very difficult for me to get through this chapter.

00:38:03.000 I'll be very honest.

00:38:04.000 I'm optimistic.

00:38:05.000 I'm going to share that at the end.

00:38:07.000 But I can't stand seeing something I love intentionally dismantled every single day.

00:38:12.000 It's very hard for me to watch it.

00:38:14.000 Very hard.

00:38:16.000 And that doesn't mean I'm pessimistic.

00:38:18.000 I'm sharing my frustration, my outright frustration when I see a republic that my grandfather fought for and my fellow countrymen care so much about just unraveled because of this.

00:38:31.000 It's very hard to watch.

00:38:32.000 So, what does it mean?

00:38:33.000 Look, the midterms, I think that there is going to be a massive equal and opposite reaction that's hopefully going to hold some of this in check.

00:38:41.000 But what really gives me hope is that what's happening in DC, unfortunately, is going to go largely uninterrupted.

00:38:47.000 Is that we have to start to rebuild the kind of idea of the citizen from the bottom up, which is why I love the school board involvement.

00:38:54.000 I love what we're seeing on the local level.

00:38:57.000 And it's going to require relentless and perpetual activism and engagement and building.

00:39:03.000 And by the way, this is not a, I think it's a message a lot of people here are willing to receive, but it's not the message that necessarily you want to hear.

00:39:10.000 You know the message you want to hear?

00:39:12.000 You want me to say, hey, guys, guess what?

00:39:14.000 Actually, Trump's going to get reinstated as president in 30 days and everything will be better.

00:39:19.000 It's actually not going to happen.

00:39:20.000 So you got to put your working boots on.

00:39:22.000 And you got to keep on rising.

00:39:24.000 You got to keep on fighting.

00:39:26.000 You have to keep on organizing.

00:39:27.000 And you're just kind of in that moment now where you're going to have to build, where we're going to have to lean into those tough and difficult moments.

00:39:34.000 But there is so much joy in this moment.

00:39:36.000 And so I could say this: if I could kind of just tie what's really giving me hope and optimism right now, is that the people that are in charge, the elites, they did everything they possibly could over the last calendar year to try to demoralize you.

00:39:50.000 In fact, their big bet was to call all of you moms and dads that show up at school board meetings domestic terrorists.

00:39:56.000 They thought they could culturally blitz-create you into submission where you're like, you know what?

00:39:59.000 I'm giving up.

00:40:00.000 I don't care.

00:40:01.000 You know why?

00:40:02.000 Because they've done that for decades to the Europeans. 0.98

00:40:05.000 And perfectly honest, like, you know, the Germans, they get filling with guilt to the French, they just retreat or whatever, right?

00:40:12.000 And they just say enough.

00:40:13.000 But all of a sudden, the more they insulted the Americans, the more they came after us, the tougher our resolve became.

00:40:20.000 And all of a sudden, they look at this moment and they're like, wait a second, like, why are moms and dads still showing up at school board meetings?

00:40:30.000 We call them domestic terrorists. 0.98

00:40:31.000 Don't they care?

00:40:31.000 Like, yeah, we don't care, actually.

00:40:33.000 Makes them want to show up even more.

00:40:34.000 Like, why are these rallies getting bigger?

00:40:37.000 Why are more people homeschooling?

00:40:39.000 The people in charge are perplexed and they're paranoid.

00:40:42.000 They're perplexed because they don't understand you.

00:40:44.000 They don't get it.

00:40:45.000 They're like, why are they fighting so hard?

00:40:47.000 They won't give up.

00:40:48.000 You're right.

00:40:48.000 We won't give up.

00:40:49.000 In fact, we're leaning in at this moment.

00:40:51.000 We're going to do even more.

00:40:53.000 And the second part is they are paranoid, Greg.

00:40:57.000 And this is how I know we're going to win: they are constantly, always worried about losing their own power.

00:41:06.000 These are the most unhappy winners of anything I've ever seen in the history of the world.

00:41:12.000 And so I'm starting to see this grassroots momentum everywhere I go.

00:41:16.000 I just did some events in Florida, and we're all having the same problem where we can't find spaces big enough to fit everybody.

00:41:22.000 And we are going standing room only.

00:41:23.000 We're having this problem at Boulder, Berkeley, we'll see.

00:41:26.000 But I mean, like, you know, it's really something that I believe is a supernatural, positive, spirit-led response of those of you.

00:41:36.000 And I want to encourage you, and I want to thank you, and I want you to say, keep going, that remained obedient when things looked bleak.

00:41:45.000 God will bless obedience.

00:41:47.000 Obedience is a form of worship under stress and pressure.

00:41:56.000 You know, you kind of answered some of those all in one shot there.

00:42:01.000 And you've already talked about the role of the church in politics.

00:42:04.000 Just a real quick lightning around.

00:42:06.000 You can just quit top three things, practical things we can do as Christians that are Americans right now.

00:42:14.000 Boy, top three things.

00:42:16.000 First thing is, I mean, take your faith very seriously.

00:42:18.000 I encourage people to, you know, make that number one.

00:42:23.000 So I tell people all the time: look, my life's work, what I do, is focused on the second most important thing.

00:42:29.000 So before I tell you what that is, let's make sure we all agree on what the most important thing is.

00:42:33.000 The most important thing that we can do is to win souls for Jesus Christ.

00:42:36.000 It's the most important thing that we can do.

00:42:39.000 Now, so what's the second most important thing?

00:42:42.000 To make sure you could do the first thing.

00:42:44.000 There you go.

00:42:45.000 Come on, you're preaching.

00:42:46.000 That's my day job.

00:42:48.000 My job every day when I do three hours of radio, two podcasts a day, traveled 330 days last year, college campuses, churches, organizing people, 200 plus people on staff, is to make sure that number one can keep on happening.

00:42:59.000 To make sure that the church will remain open, that they'll never lock us down again, that they will never persecute our faith again.

00:43:07.000 So I just want to make sure we all understand the priorities, right?

00:43:11.000 Well, thank you.

00:43:13.000 Which, and we should always be clear about that, right?

00:43:16.000 That's number one.

00:43:19.000 You got to take off your coat right now.

00:43:20.000 No, it's all right.

00:43:21.000 I'm going to go right now.

00:43:23.000 And number two, make sure you could do number one.

00:43:25.000 So I just encourage all of you: read the word every single day.

00:43:28.000 Get into a very serious prayer routine.

00:43:31.000 And if you're struggling with your faith, ask for help.

00:43:33.000 That is what the church is supposed to be.

00:43:34.000 It's supposed to be the infrastructure for people that are struggling.

00:43:37.000 And struggling is normal because we are in a supernatural and a spiritual struggle right now.

00:43:43.000 And understand the equipment, the spiritual equipment that God gives us to be able to win the spiritual battle.

00:43:50.000 I could go deeper into this.

00:43:51.000 In fact, in the next service, we might want to do some of the spiritual warfare stuff.

00:43:55.000 But if you are not experiencing spiritual warfare at all, and it's kind of like a weird, distant concept to you, I'm going to lovingly tell you maybe you're not doing something important enough.

00:44:03.000 So Satan doesn't take you seriously.

00:44:05.000 Here you go.

00:44:07.000 Which is every person that I encounter that is fighting for the gospel in the kingdom is experiencing some form of spiritual warfare right now.

00:44:16.000 And Satan, Satan, we know the character of Satan. 0.99

00:44:19.000 He's a liar. 1.00

00:44:20.000 He's a deceiver. 1.00

00:44:21.000 First Peter, it says he prowls the world like a lion looking for those to devour.

00:44:26.000 Okay, that's number one.

00:44:27.000 We have to take our faith seriously.

00:44:29.000 Number two, which is, I want to challenge all of you to become really passionate learners and educators of this country.

00:44:38.000 And so it's not just about doing, but it's also about pausing and learning.

00:44:42.000 Learning is a substantial activity that improves your country.

00:44:46.000 When you know more about your history, all of a sudden you will be convicted more to fight.

00:44:50.000 When you are able to answer to a friend where they say, this country is so racist, be like, hey, let's talk about that.

00:44:55.000 Where you shouldn't be caught be caught off guard about someone that says, you know, our country was founded on slavery.

00:45:00.000 Like, really?

00:45:01.000 Nine out of 13 of the colonies had already abolished slavery by the time of the Constitution was ratified.

00:45:06.000 The first anti-slavery convention was held in 1775, chaired by Benjamin Franklin.

00:45:11.000 The first state ever to abolish slavery was Vermont in 1776, inspired by the Declaration of Independence.

00:45:16.000 Thomas Jefferson wrote in the original draft of the Declaration of Independence, admonishing King George for bringing the sin of slavery to the United States.

00:45:23.000 Thomas Jefferson abolished the slave trade as one of his first acts of president in 1807.

00:45:28.000 That this country said time and time again in the private journals and musings of every founding father, including the three architects of the U.S. Constitution, Hamilton, Madison, and Jay, that it's not a matter of when, it's how we will abolish slavery.

00:45:41.000 We should all know that stuff, right?

00:45:43.000 So good, so good.

00:45:45.000 And so the third thing is this: which is you take your faith seriously, you're praying, you're fasting.

00:45:51.000 Jesus said, The hard things come to those that pray and fast.

00:45:54.000 I'm a big believer in fasting.

00:45:56.000 And so, if that's a distant concept to you, I challenge you to look into it and to pray about it.

00:46:02.000 I know that Greg leads you guys really amazingly on that, but I'm a big, big believer in fasting.

00:46:07.000 Then, of course, learning.

00:46:08.000 The third thing is, yes, it's going to take action.

00:46:11.000 It is.

00:46:12.000 And that means, and I know a lot of people here in this audience right now are saying, Charlie, you've got to give me stuff to do.

00:46:17.000 I've done everything that's been asked of me.

00:46:19.000 I watched Tucker Carlson every night.

00:46:23.000 I bought the pillow.

00:46:24.000 I did everything I was supposed to do.

00:46:32.000 Promo code Kirk, by the way, at mypillow.com.

00:46:35.000 And the Giza dream sheets are spectacular.

00:46:39.000 But all kidding aside, Greg, it's going to take faith, prayer, and fasting is number one bucket.

00:46:45.000 The second bucket is learning.

00:46:47.000 We have a partnership with Hillsdale College.

00:46:49.000 It's charlie4hillsdale.com.

00:46:50.000 Take some of the online courses.

00:46:52.000 Know what you have been given.

00:46:55.000 If we have a national Alzheimer's moment, we don't know who we are, where we've come from, a memory crisis, then what are we actually doing here?

00:47:02.000 You have to know what we're anchored to.

00:47:03.000 And the third thing, of course, is action, running for office and supporting the good ones that do.

00:47:07.000 Homeschooling kids, shepherding those parents that might be overwhelmed at our homeschooling.

00:47:11.000 Action, action, action, and pushing ourself forward.

00:47:14.000 Those are the three things that I would challenge this church to continue to do.

00:47:21.000 Last question.

00:47:23.000 I'll make it in reference to California, but our nation too.

00:47:29.000 And you've already touched on it.

00:47:31.000 Is there hope for California?

00:47:32.000 Is there hope for America in this board?

00:47:35.000 Of course.

00:47:35.000 I mean, we believe in a miracle working God, don't we?

00:47:38.000 So there's always hope.

00:47:40.000 Look, I mean, you know, there's a great quote in, great quote, great verse in Nehemiah, and it escapes me.

00:47:47.000 I'll get it from the next service, which is, you know, blessed are the long days of the struggle of work, basically when they're rebuilding the temple, right?

00:47:53.000 Under Zareba Bell's leadership, which is, you should take delight in the tough days towards a good purpose, basically, is the essence of the scripture.

00:48:00.000 And look, I think that we are programmed towards immediate gratification, right?

00:48:04.000 That things are going to arrive in the instant.

00:48:06.000 Look, California is a long-term project.

00:48:08.000 It is absolutely doable, but it might take five years, 10 years, 20 years, 30 years.

00:48:13.000 And I know that might depress some of you, and some of you like say, that's it.

00:48:15.000 I'm out.

00:48:16.000 That's fine.

00:48:17.000 But there is a, not just a sliver of hope.

00:48:20.000 There is a movement of regular normal people that are starting to wake up.

00:48:24.000 But it's going to take patience and it's going to continue to take work.

00:48:28.000 And it's something that I'm very enthusiastic about.

00:48:31.000 I come to California a lot.

00:48:32.000 I live in Phoenix.

00:48:33.000 I'm passionate about the state.

00:48:35.000 And I'll be very honest.

00:48:36.000 We were flying in this morning, flying over Yosemite as the sun is rising.

00:48:39.000 I'm like, man, you know, it is so awful what these people have done to this beautiful state.

00:48:44.000 It just is.

00:48:45.000 I mean, it's just, you deserve so much better than what these leaders have done to you, truly.

00:48:50.000 But it's all, let's just focus on the local and then maybe the state, you know, then kind of the county.

00:48:54.000 And then you can go out from those kind of concentric circles from there.

00:48:58.000 And so I get asked this question all the time, which is, are you optimistic or are you pessimistic?

00:49:03.000 I can't stand the question.

00:49:04.000 I'll be very honest.

00:49:05.000 Because if I say I'm optimistic, none of you will do anything because you go home and say, hey, Charlie's optimistic.

00:49:12.000 He doesn't need me.

00:49:13.000 We're all good.

00:49:14.000 If I say I'm pessimistic, you go home saying, well, Charlie's pessimistic.

00:49:17.000 He definitely doesn't need me.

00:49:19.000 And really the answer is it depends.

00:49:21.000 You have to make your own hope happen.

00:49:23.000 You do.

00:49:24.000 And the Lord will deliver a supernatural intervention when we need it the most.

00:49:29.000 But it never says in the scriptures to sit idly by, run to the hills, and God will just bless your inaction.

00:49:36.000 That's never in the scriptures.

00:49:38.000 It isn't.

00:49:38.000 Is that we have to do everything we can and leave the rest up to God.

00:49:41.000 So, Greg, can I put a slide up?

00:49:43.000 Yes, do that.

00:49:44.000 Okay.

00:49:45.000 So just a slide here.

00:49:47.000 So yeah, there's a thing called a QR code.

00:49:49.000 Do you guys know what that is?

00:49:52.000 So if you guys would go to that QR code, if you don't know how to do this, you just like you're taking a picture of it.

00:49:56.000 It will bring you to a landing page where you guys can subscribe to our podcast and follow us to subscribe.

00:50:02.000 It's a plus sign in the upper right-hand corner.

00:50:04.000 You guys see that?

00:50:05.000 This helps us more than I could put into words.

00:50:08.000 This keeps us from being canceled by the radical left.

00:50:11.000 This keeps us to be able to do three podcasts a day.

00:50:14.000 It's just when you guys subscribe to that podcast on that link, it really helps us out.

00:50:18.000 You can listen to the Jack Hibbs conversation and get behind us in a variety of different ways.

00:50:23.000 And so if you guys would do that, it should take you right there.

00:50:25.000 It really blesses us.

00:50:27.000 And right now, this is the Lord is moving.

00:50:30.000 We are the second largest conservative podcast right now.

00:50:35.000 And so when you guys do that, it really blesses us.

00:50:39.000 You destiny people.

00:50:42.000 All right.

00:50:43.000 We're not people that sit on our hands.

00:50:45.000 We do things.

00:50:46.000 We make some noise.

00:50:48.000 Right here.

00:50:49.000 This is your action step today.

00:50:51.000 Everybody get this done today.

00:50:53.000 All right.

00:50:53.000 Help Charlie out.

00:50:55.000 And we need your voice.

00:50:57.000 We need your voice.

00:50:58.000 Yeah.

00:50:58.000 And if you're doing want to do it later on the live stream, you just take out your podcast app.

00:51:02.000 It's Charlie Kirk Show and subscribe.

00:51:04.000 We have a great podcast out today with Frank Turek, 40 minutes long, no advertisers at all.

00:51:09.000 And I encourage you to listen to it.

00:51:11.000 It's the best case for the resurrection apologetics.

00:51:14.000 If you're struggling with your faith, if you know a young person that's questioning their faith, I think that conversation would really move people in a lot of ways.

00:51:20.000 So, thank you for saying that, Greg.

00:51:22.000 So, we're going to have a word of prayer.

00:51:25.000 And I know how some of you think because I already see some people moving to get into their cars.

00:51:31.000 God blessed a thriving, growing church by being put on a dead end street.

00:51:38.000 It's a great testimony, Charlie.

00:51:41.000 I mean, people all around going on this highway, what is happening there?

00:51:46.000 And they drive here to find out what is happening here.

00:51:49.000 We are a church that is going to stand and we are going to make our voice heard.

00:52:00.000 And you can't double dip and come back and hear Charlie at 11 o'clock.

00:52:07.000 You can online.

00:52:09.000 Yeah, it'll be different.

00:52:11.000 But now, when I dismiss you, I need you to go to your cars and be Christians. 1.00

00:52:19.000 Be nice to each other, but I need you to do it effectively and efficiently because we're going to have an 11 o'clock crowd that is going to, you know, we're going to have challenges with this many people showing up.

00:52:31.000 So, I want us all to stand.

00:52:33.000 We're going to pray for Charlie right now.

00:52:35.000 Would you extend a hand out towards Charlie as we pray?

00:52:40.000 Heavenly Father, I thank you for giving gifts to the body of Christ.

00:52:45.000 Thank you for giving us Charlie Kirk, Lord God, for such a time as this.

00:52:50.000 You put this man, you've given him a brilliant mind, but you've given him a heart that understands, understands faith, understands the church, understands America.

00:53:01.000 Now we pray blessing upon him and his family, his wife, Lord God.

00:53:05.000 Walk with them, be with them, give them health, protect them, guard them, I pray.
