On July 13th, 2011, a man named Joe Biden was shot and killed in a helicopter crash in the middle of the night on the deck of his private jet. What did God do to prevent this from happening?

00:01:27.000We have a great guest for you tonight, but I just want to open up with one question and a message.
00:01:34.000What would you do if you saw a miracle?
00:01:37.000You know, when I would get into discussions with atheists on campus, they'd say, if I only saw a miracle, then I would believe in God.
00:01:45.000And I always was not convinced by that.
00:01:47.000I was like, I don't know if you see a miracle.
00:01:49.000As Woody Allen would say, I don't want to hear God speak.
00:01:52.000If he would just sneeze, that would be nice.
00:01:56.000On July 13th, it was the most televised, most witnessed miracle in the history of humanity.
00:02:06.000There are many takeaways from this, and it just goes to show how true the Bible is.
00:02:13.000So you're reading the Old Testament, you're reading Exodus, and God blows quail off course and manna from heaven, he splits the Red Sea, and you have the The 10 plagues against Egypt.
00:02:23.000And you think to yourself, how could these people not believe in God after all of that?
00:02:30.000They see God work and they see God move.
00:02:33.000How could they forget God's goodness and God's mercy and God's kindness after they see all of that?
00:02:40.000How many times have you thought of that when you're reading the Bible?
00:02:42.000Oh, these Hebrews, God's chosen people, forgetful.
00:03:46.000Imagine what this country would have been, because it's bigger than just the tragedy would be of that human being dying, who all of us admire in one way or the other.
00:03:58.000This country would have been lit on fire in a way that we still would not be healed.
00:04:05.000And we see there is no, in my opinion, reasonable explanation to that, of why he decided to tilt his head at that particular time How it came so close and how forgetful are we?
00:04:19.000For people that say, if I just saw one miracle and someone in this audience says, yeah, I don't know if I believe in God yet.
00:04:24.000I mean, I just think that it was just a happy coincidence.
00:04:26.000It's like, okay, you know that a mathematician ran the numbers and he said that it was a one in a ten and a half billion chance.
00:04:35.000That his head would be tilted at just that moment with the wind and the scope.
00:04:39.000And by the way, for those of you that have shot firearms before, specifically AR-15s competitively, that is like a little of a, it's like a tap in putt in golf.
00:04:54.000And I just think it's a really important thing because this is why we read the scriptures where God was like, you know, I kept on showing you miracles about my goodness and you are a forgetful people.
00:05:18.000And it is dangerous to speculate exactly what God was doing that day.
00:05:23.000Because someone still lost his life, and we should remember that.
00:05:26.000Cory Capetroni, this amazing firefighter, who, by the way, we should all wish to die the way he died, protecting his daughter and dying for his daughter.
00:05:34.000The most beautiful death somebody could die.
00:05:39.000But one thing is very clear, is that God gave this country another chance.
00:05:47.000The damage and the heaviness that we would still feel for years on end, the civil discord would, I don't know if this country would recover.
00:06:08.000And I just have to editorialize for a second.
00:06:10.000I just, I mean, And by the way, two weeks after this, you have people in the media that are saying, oh, he's a coward.
00:06:22.000Unlike the wannabe vice president, you know, Bernie Sanders of the beer belly, who's going around lying about being in a military service, this guy actually got shot.
00:07:53.000And you think about that, when you're in a family situation, or you are in a business situation, or you are in a political situation, and the person in charge is stable and calm, people will remain stable and calm.
00:08:12.000Where he emerges from that, and he says, fight, fight, fight, which I think is still one of the most iconic things ever.
00:08:19.000And you know Google is taking down this image.
00:08:32.000But the lesson I think for all of us is that panic is the unfolding of any decent society.
00:08:39.000And what you saw there was something so special and so unique and unusual, which is that when people see the person in charge, even if he's shot, even they know that gunshots were just fired and they're standing still.
00:08:54.000There could have been a second or third shooter.
00:08:56.000There could have been, and they were like, you know what?
00:08:57.000No, but our leader is not freaking out.
00:09:02.000And you extrapolate that to the rest of society is that In a moment of crisis, which our country has multiple crises right now, inflation, border, foreign policy, if the leader is calm with direction and says to the people that follow him or she says to them, it's going to be okay.
00:10:22.000And have mercy on us if we start acting arrogantly as if God is not sovereign and not in control.
00:10:29.000It should bring you comfort that God loves us enough and that there is a plan working out and that we have to be obedient.
00:10:38.000And the final thing I'll say is this, what if, and I don't know this for a fact, what if God saved his life so that he could test his church?
00:10:48.000What if he saved his life to say, okay, American church, what are you made of?
00:10:55.000Or are you going to just turn your back on a miracle?
00:10:59.000Are you going to fight for liberty, which is my idea, the Lord's idea, or are you just going to say, I don't want to do that politics thing.
00:11:07.000Maybe he gave an opportunity for us to not go into a civil war, but instead say, American church, do you want to keep this civilization going?
00:11:15.000Or are you going to want to return to Egypt?
00:12:25.000So Drew, you have this incredible story of how you've brought the Lord in environments that we could never imagine, and you've told me some of these stories where you've traveled the planet, you've been with titans of industry to leaders of state, witnessing for Jesus Christ.
00:12:41.000You've seen healings, you've seen transformations.
00:12:44.000Tell us about how God has used you, and I'm sure you talk about this in great detail in your book.
00:13:58.000when Jesus went back to heaven because he said I will send the Holy Spirit and greater things go out and spread the gospel lay hands on the sick and they will recover so he said I just took Jesus at his word so I went up to the hospital room he said Ron I don't even really know how to pray about it but let's do this prayed for him And he said, electricity like went through his body.
00:14:22.000And he said, Ron, I think you were healed.
00:14:43.000I mean, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't God.
00:14:46.000So I have to tell one more story that happened that right after that is when you're in Tulsa, Oklahoma It was the white pages and even in the Bible belt.
00:14:55.000I always say Tulsa is the buckle of the Bible belt Well, you know you all of a sudden it comes out in the Tulsa paper, you know businessman sells his banks and goes into a healing ministry because my dad prayed and there's nothing wrong with taking offerings like angel came up tonight and said I always say the gospel is free, ministry is expensive.
00:15:17.000But my dad said, he said, God, I'll go wherever you want to go.
00:15:22.000If you call me into a healing ministry, I'll go.
00:15:26.000But I never want to take up an offering.
00:15:28.000I want to be able to pay for every dime myself.
00:15:31.000The next week, two men came in and bought two of his banks and he put it in a foundation.
00:15:35.000And my dad traveled all over the world.
00:15:38.000I was a senior in high school and I was not happy about it because all of a sudden it's in the front page of the papers and I was homecoming queen and all that and nobody would talk to me because you're weird, right?
00:15:51.000And so my dad said to me one night, Drew, I need to go pray for this woman that called that is dying of cancer and your mother needs to stay home with your younger sister.
00:17:59.000But anyway, so I move out there and I'm like, God, what am I doing here?
00:18:04.000I thought I'd landed in the twilight zone and I had one incident that changed my entire perspective and I became very dangerous after that.
00:18:14.000I was sitting at a black tie feeling very intimidated.
00:19:25.000And my father was President Roosevelt.
00:19:28.000And back then, we campaigned by trains.
00:19:32.000And we would go through the country, through each town, by train.
00:19:37.000And before we would go out, and my dad would give his speeches, he would say, James, we need to pray that God will give us favor if I'm supposed to be the president.
00:19:46.000And every town, and the night he was elected, his father, he said, now, James, we need to go in the Oval Office, and we need To thank God for giving us favor.
00:19:56.000And he's sobbing and he said, Drew, I haven't thought about that in 50 years.
00:20:02.000I put God on a shelf and I said, James, it's time to come back.
00:20:06.000And he was probably in his nineties by then.
00:20:09.000And we held hands at that black tie right there.
00:20:12.000And I invited, I prayed with him to invite Jesus into his life.
00:20:33.000And that's what you're called to do is bloom where you're planted.
00:20:36.000So after that, everywhere I went, I became very dangerous because if you have seen hair grow out of someone's head, there's no turning back.
00:21:04.000Because again, how do you become a party animal or go do that when you've seen Hair grow out of people's heads and my dad by then was being called all the time and I would go with him and my mother and we would pray for people and I saw people walk out of wheelchairs.
00:21:22.000I mean, I've seen so many blind people receive their sight, deaf people receive their hearing, and when he died, before my dad died, I flew to Tulsa and I said, Dad, I want to be Elisha.
00:21:49.000You know, Charlie, I remember hearing Charlie 10 years ago when you, how many years ago did you start?
00:21:56.000Okay, someone sent me a link, and I'm like, oh my gosh, first of all, he packs more into 30 seconds than I could pack into 10 minutes.
00:22:04.000He talked so fast, I had to rewind it and listen to it again, and I literally said back then, that young man is going to be somebody.
00:22:13.000And here we are, he is changing our country, not only in politics, but for Jesus, because I just went to his conference in Palm Beach, and I'm telling you, I was Blown away by the speakers and how many people's lives were changed.
00:22:30.000So, it's incredible the realm that God has put you in.
00:22:33.000And I will say, I would like to self-appoint myself as your chaplain when you are President of the United States.
00:23:13.000I'm not sure if they're okay to talk publicly, but you could take this You've been in situations with some of the highest level aristocracy that people could imagine, and you have been so bold to share the gospel with them.
00:23:27.000People in the audience might say, okay, I'm afraid to share Jesus with my aunt, my uncle.
00:23:34.000Did you find it easier to share the gospel with a random oligarch in Eastern Europe or with somebody that you know intimately?
00:24:23.000And here I am, you know, from this Norman Rockwell family where we wore matching flannel pajamas every year with our names monogrammed on it.
00:24:30.000And my dad, you know, my mother memorized the whole, almost the entire book of Matthew and would read.
00:24:39.000And I marry into this family and I'm like, They're kind of nuts.
00:24:45.000I mean, they don't know how to be a family.
00:24:47.000So I said to Armand, I'm this 24 year old pipsqueak, and I said to him, I would like to invite you to our home every Sunday because I'd like to teach you how to be a family.
00:24:58.000I look back and I'm like, you said that to him?
00:25:23.000You brought them into this world because you love them and you want a relationship with them.
00:25:28.000God brought us into this earth because he loves us and he desires a personal relationship with him.
00:25:36.000And that's why I even put a little prayer at the end of each chapter, because a lot of people don't even realize that prayer is just conversation with God.
00:25:46.000I talk to God like I'm talking to you all right now.
00:26:19.000So then I bought him the book CS Lewis, Mere Christianity by CS Lewis, which is an incredible book.
00:26:27.000And I gave him a copy and his wife had died and he called me that day and he said, Drew, you remember this was years talking to him and zero response and God's word never returns void.
00:28:04.000Okay, well, again, I think it's bloom where you're planted, right?
00:28:08.000So Armand was very good friends with Lord Mountbatten, and he became friends with Prince Charles after Lord Mountbatten died, and they started the United World Colleges together.
00:28:20.000I won't go into explaining what all that is.
00:28:23.000So they did a lot of events and a fundraisers together and we got to ride on Armin's Coattail which was really fun.
00:28:31.000So we would fly to these events to the breakers to all these different events for polo matches or whatever and they would kind of put us near each other because at those kind of deals when it's so expensive to go it's mostly older people and we were very young we both had sons at the same time So they would kind of put us together.
00:28:51.000And the first two times I was with her, it was pleasantries.
00:30:55.000Prince Charles always was in love with Camilla, who is his wife right now.
00:31:01.000They were in a very unhappy marriage, and it was all coming to a head, and she was exposing to the world, which was a big no-no in the royal family.
00:31:10.000You're supposed to keep your problems private.
00:32:08.000But what I do know is there were infidelities in my marriage that I just found out about the same time as well and I was always a marathon runner and I think I was probably an exercise anorexic because that was something I could control and she had eating disorders and she was anorexic and I said I would never be presumptuous to say Get what you're what you're going through, but I will say on a small scale.
00:32:38.000I Understand and Jesus is my safety net if I didn't have the Lord I don't think I could get through this and I Pray that you find Jesus and I went through the whole plan of salvation with her How important it is that she brings Jesus into this and I told her I said this situation is still difficult on us with Jesus and But without Jesus, it will take us down.
00:34:28.000You all, we live in a hopeless, hopeless world right now, especially what's going on in the political arena,
00:34:37.000what's going on in churches being, you know, Worrying more about popularity contests, and I was just listening to a sermon today about you know King Herod He was a people pleaser and you know how he ended up his entire intestines rotted from the inside out and from syphilis and
00:34:58.000That's not a good ending, so we cannot be people pleasers.
00:35:02.000I'm certainly not worried about that with you.
00:35:06.000Yeah, I'm not worried about him, but I just have to say, you guys, what good is our faith?
00:35:13.000What good is our Christianity if we don't go out and share the love of Jesus and share how He is our hope and our Savior It doesn't do anybody good if we keep it to ourselves.
00:36:06.000What does the Bible say about divine intervention when it comes to things that might seem naturally impossible, but can be metaphysically possible with the Lord?
00:36:18.000Well, I would say it started out with reading the Bible.
00:36:22.000I did an AI project and it's called Get Hope.
00:36:26.000And it answers over a thousand questions of what does the Bible say.
00:36:31.000Then the Lord spoke to me and said, it's great for people to ask questions, but they need to know my word because that's what builds up our faith.
00:36:42.000If we don't know the Bible, we don't know all the miracles.
00:36:46.000But when you read the Bible, you're like, well, wait a minute.
00:36:49.000Look, I mean, I've had people say to me, well, you know, God doesn't part the Red Sea anymore.
00:38:46.000And if we could get everybody that knows the Lord and loves the Lord to get out and vote their faith for people that stand up for what's right, you know, you are single-handedly going out there and changing this country.
00:39:00.000Well, we're just playing a small part, but it's the Lord.
00:39:58.000I had an encounter with the Holy Spirit in Israel and the Lord told me, when you get a divorce, it's an inconvenience.
00:40:05.000There are millions of women in this country that get divorced and it's catastrophic.
00:40:10.000So my hammered heart helps within churches and helps single women and men to, you know, buy them tires or grocery cards or whatever.
00:40:22.000So anyway, and I have the gethope.ai where you can get on and ask questions.
00:40:28.000And again, it's all going to fund into my foundation because I may not change the world, but I can change the world that God has placed me in.
00:40:58.000The Black Robe Regiment is a way now to be able to go to the churches and ask the pastors and the priests and the rabbis to step up and ask their congregation to register to vote, to put voter registration forms in the lobby, and to get a grassroots from the churches to rise up And fight against these Satan marionettes.
00:41:23.000Does Turning Point have a program to go to these churches now that there's a miracle they could point to and say, you can stand up for God now that he's shown you a miracle?
00:42:04.000It's just, I'm sorry, if you look at that and the head tilt at that very moment, at that very precise thing, and you think, oh, it's just an act of randomness.
00:42:15.000By the way, on top of everything else that this man has been through, That and you're a pastor and you just discounted I just I just kind of shrug my shoulders.
00:42:23.000But yes, look, here's the problem that more and more American pastors are indifferent towards the future of America.
00:42:34.000And I said this previously with our wonderful pastor gathering.
00:42:38.000I'm happy to tout all of the virtues of what I think President Trump's administration can do for the country.
00:42:44.000But if you are a Christian and you vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, that is a desecration to the Lord.
00:42:58.000This is a ticket that Currently, Tim Walz has the most extreme abortion laws, or lack thereof, in the country, where eight babies were born alive and then murdered legally.
00:43:16.000It is factual based, based on Freedom of Information Act requests.
00:43:21.000Tim Walz has bragged about how boys now have tampons in their bathrooms in all public schools in Minnesota.
00:43:29.000The most radical transgender Surgeries are done in Minneapolis without parental consent for 11, 12, and 13-year-olds.
00:43:38.000And that's just off the top of my head, right?
00:43:40.000Not to mention he oversaw the riots, he oversaw what happened in Minneapolis.
00:43:45.000When Kamala Harris, who was the first vice president in American history who visited an abortion clinic, she went to Minnesota.
00:43:54.000And this is the ticket of what they are presenting.
00:43:57.000And so I'm not going to go as far to say if you don't vote for my candidate of choosing President Trump, you know, there's, I'm not going to invoke religion there.
00:44:07.000But I will say again, that if you vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, that is a direct desecration to God's plan and his holiness and saying that you think your ways are better than God's ways.
00:45:15.000My question for either of you, but Drew, how can I get my foot in the door with my husband to get him To start attending here.
00:45:25.000I met with a lot of sarcasm and no interest in conversation.
00:45:30.000I pray about it a lot and I feel like it's keeping me up at night.
00:45:36.000I'm having that same kind of insomnia and the urgency in these times for him to represent being a man of God to my sons.
00:45:46.000Do you have any advice on how to gently kind of guide him towards the Lord?
00:45:53.000I think right now he's watching your life.
00:45:56.000I think when he sees a radical change in you and it's all about love, he's going to want to go there.
00:46:04.000Because you can't put a noose around him and get him to church.
00:46:07.000And by the way, our timing is not God's timing.
00:46:11.000I have a son that I prayed for for 23 years to come back to Jesus.
00:46:17.000And I wanted it the first day I started praying.
00:46:22.000God's timing is always perfect, and He's going to see the change in your life, in your son's life, and He's going to want to come to church.
00:46:32.000Because God is love, and when you come and you're being filled up every Sunday at this magnificent church, He's going to see it in you.
00:46:49.000And it's difficult because, I'm going to say this as gently as I can, your husband should be leading the home and the marriage, not mocking his bride for going into the house of the Lord.
00:47:00.000And so I want to encourage you and build you up.
00:47:03.000And for us men out there, You should look... God forbid that our wives ever have to encounter that.
00:47:11.000I just want to say you're loved and supported for that and don't lose hope.
00:47:15.000I think the story of Lee Strobel might be very helpful and comforting for you.
00:47:27.000It's about a prayerful wife who found the Lord before her husband Husband was an atheist, was a reporter for the Chicago Tribune, my hometown, and he basically said to his wife, you believe all that hocus pocus, I'm gonna go prove you wrong.
00:47:46.000And he went on this incredible multi-year Fact-finding journey and ended up coming to the conclusion that Jesus is Lord and rose from the dead and he's now one of the most popular and impactful evangelists of our time.
00:48:00.000His name is Lee Strobel, but it was because of a prayerful wife and so never underestimate that.
00:48:44.000Do you have a thought on this first, Drew?
00:48:46.000Or... You go first, and I'll just... Yeah, it can be used as a tool.
00:48:49.000It also, there's a fair amount of speculation, so if you don't know what artificial intelligence is...
00:48:55.000It's a technology that teaches the machine to, on the surface level, think the way that we think.
00:49:02.000Now, through the actual administration of artificial intelligence, we are learning the limitations of machinery and how God designed us as more than just the computer.
00:49:12.000So, if you go to Silicon Valley, almost every single person in Silicon Valley will tell you, oh, the human brain is just the computer.
00:49:20.000If that's the case, then we would not be able to look at a statement such as this.
00:49:26.000And this is Bertrand Russell's favorite famous breakthrough, which is a human being is able to process this following statement.
00:49:57.000That proves the fact that you can look at that from the outsider perspective.
00:50:02.000A machine will keep on going back and forth.
00:50:04.000It will self-terminate, essentially, because it's an input-output.
00:50:09.000There's some speculation that a machine will eventually be able to do that, that it will reach what's called artificial general intelligence, or otherwise known as singularity.
00:50:19.000There are some really disturbing applications of artificial intelligence that we are all seeing, such as it's making our kids dumber, and they're not thinking.
00:50:26.000There's also some potential amazing breakthroughs that I think we should celebrate.
00:50:30.000For example, I think it would be awesome if we were able to diagnose cancer and tumors quicker And cut out the bureaucracy of the medical industry and say, you know what?
00:50:42.000No, we're going to get rid of childhood cancer and reduce it.
00:50:47.000And that's not speculation if we actually apply this technology through biblical or righteous means.
00:50:53.000On the same side, you can use artificial intelligence to say, we want to get rid of all the people.
00:51:01.000It comes with a lot of potential threats.
00:51:03.000I tend to be very optimistic because I have seen the potential upsides of what artificial intelligence can do.
00:51:10.000And having dealt in the healthcare, going to the healthcare world, think about what you spend the most amount of time or energy on healthcare.
00:51:18.000You pay some person to run a bunch of tests to kind of find a pattern of what you very well might have.
00:51:24.000The biggest problem in American healthcare is not treatment, It's correct diagnosis.
00:51:31.000And the data shows that misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis has caused more harm and damage.
00:51:40.000Artificial intelligence could potentially fix that because it's able to aggregate billions of lines of data and say, no, you have this problem or not that problem.
00:51:48.000But yes, it also could could destroy the world.
00:51:58.000Well, so just putting it in a personal layman's terms because I had no idea all that's going on.
00:52:06.000Seriously, I'm like, Oh Lord, I gotta, I gotta follow that.
00:52:10.000Um, I was compelled to do it because I look at the internet and I remember when the internet was coming out, people are like, Oh, it's of the devil.
00:52:20.000You know, it's going to ruin this world.
00:52:26.000But also, I don't know about you, but I listen to amazing men of God, including Tommy Barnett a lot.
00:52:34.000I listen all the time on podcasts, and I walk and I listen, so it can be a tool.
00:52:40.000So when I was compelled to do my AI project, I thought, well, you know what?
00:52:45.000What a better way to spread the gospel.
00:52:47.000And doesn't it say that the end times will not come until every single person in the world gets the opportunity to invite Jesus into their lives and know Jesus?
00:52:58.000So I thought, well, AI, what a great way to spread it.
00:53:01.000And when I shot this, it was the hardest thing I've ever done because it was real spiritual warfare when I was doing it.
00:53:08.000But the heads of the company came to me and they said, your timing is impeccable.
00:53:13.000They opened up the laptop and they said, ask yourself a question.
00:53:35.000And where sin abounds, grace can abound more.
00:53:39.000And that's kind of what I hung on to with Yeah, and the final thought I'll say is this, is that the best way to allow AI to help humanity, not hurt humanity, is to decentralize it, not decentralize it.
00:53:51.000For example, have 5,000 AI companies, not just Google and Facebook, that control all the AI power.
00:53:58.000And so my advice for President Trump is embrace small tech and crush big tech and have a lot of competition.
00:54:04.000Allow it to do the good stuff and allow competition to root out the bad stuff.
00:54:09.000Because if we are honest, we live in a broken world.
00:54:28.000First of all, Drew, thank you for sharing from your heart as a more newer divorced woman.
00:54:33.000I really appreciate that, and I look forward to looking at your book.
00:54:37.000Charlie, this is more geared towards you.
00:54:39.000I am a mom who was in a house divided, and in 22, I saw the political climate in Wisconsin go completely blue.
00:54:54.000I brought my kids to AmFest because it was one of those things where I was like, I need them to see other people fighting for what we need to believe in.
00:55:04.000So with the statistics of one in three Christians and hunters not voting, you know, our, our rights are being, are going to be gone.
00:55:14.000How do we contend, especially in swing states and say, you know, your vote does matter.
00:56:16.000I'm hopeful because what we're doing at Turning Point Action is starting to make a really big difference.
00:56:20.000Just this last week, because of our ballot chasing and because of our grassroots tenacity, we defeated Stephen Richer in the Maricopa County recorders race.
00:57:08.000And it's how do we get people to care?
00:57:09.000Well, a country that would willingly sign up and be drafted to go storm the beaches of Normandy had a different worldview than this current generation.
00:57:19.000And it was one that was rooted in my favorite, one of my favorite English words that used to be a bedrock of Western civilization, which is duty.
00:57:29.000And the word duty is never taught to young people anymore.
00:59:08.000We outnumber them, but we don't outvote them.
00:59:11.000There are millions of people who share our values, who see the world the way we do, that won't take the time to fill out the ballot.
00:59:19.000And what a tragedy that would be if the people that are actually in the minority care more about doing the five-minute thing than our side.
00:59:42.000I wrote a book and was speaking, and God this year put a stop to that.
00:59:49.000He told me to rest, and I obeyed, and I've been doing that.
00:59:53.000I think it was because I wasn't glorifying Him, and He's put on my heart to do another one, but I'm kind of doing what you did with The letter to Princess Diana maybe?
01:00:06.000I'm scared to not be resting in this place because I don't want my eating disorder to happen again.
01:00:15.000It kind of took me out when I was really busy with it.
01:01:20.000If you don't forgive you live your life of bitterness, and I think we see that in this country today Is there so in the world you know if you don't forgive it will hurt you it doesn't hurt the other person And then when I was journaling, I started seeing the miracles that God was actually doing for me during the divorce.
01:03:00.000First, thankfully, with Arizona's new law, you have mobility with your kids to not send them to government school.
01:03:08.000You could send them to Dream City Christian at Turning Point Academy, which I highly recommend.
01:03:14.000And I will say this as plainly as possible.
01:03:18.000I've been very distracted, so I wasn't able to get involved as much in the Scottsdale Unified School District elections as I would have liked this last one, but we will do that in the future.
01:03:26.000There's other elections that are a little more important right now.
01:03:54.000And so you can make your own decision when it comes to that.
01:03:58.000The good news with Arizona's law is that it's less and less of a financial hurdle to get your kid into a really solid school.
01:04:05.000And so just have the courage and the faith to pull your kid out of a bad government-run school and find one, Dream City Christian Turnabout Academy.
01:04:13.000There's a lot of other really good options around here that I would highly recommend.
01:04:17.000And then finally, for people that are out of state or watching nationally, If you are able to homeschool your kids, you should do that.
01:04:27.000But again, we have Dream City Christian, which is an amazing school and changing people's lives.
01:04:33.000And your kids will not be taught this transgender nonsense.
01:04:39.000And you as a mother, it's one of the most important things that God has charged you with here on this earth, which is stewarding and shepherding your children.
01:04:48.000The current environment wants to take the innocents away from your children.
01:04:53.000They want to teach them terrible values.
