The Charlie Kirk Show - Why Nevada Can Go Red: My Speech At Fervent Church in Las Vegas

00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody.

00:00:01.000 Happy Sunday.

00:00:02.000 It is my conversation at Fervent Church from Las Vegas, Pastor Jimmy Morales.

00:00:08.000 And we talk about a lot of different stuff and take questions to the audience and why I think Nevada can go red this November.

00:00:31.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:33.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.

00:00:35.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:38.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:42.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:43.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:44.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:00:52.000 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.

00:01:01.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:30.000 Well, I'm excited to have Charlie here, and I want to get right into it with Charlie.

00:01:35.000 First of all, Charlie, it's been three years since you were here last, and it was really exciting last time.

00:01:42.000 But let's see, last time you were getting ready to start Turning Point Faith, you were engaged to be married to the love of your life, and now you have taken it next level.

00:01:55.000 So tell us what's going on in your life.

00:01:57.000 Boy, three years it's been.

00:01:59.000 First of all, you're doing a great job, Pastor Jimmy, and thank you for having us here.

00:02:02.000 It's just terrific.

00:02:03.000 And so, yeah, we now have a baby girl.

00:02:06.000 Praise God.

00:02:06.000 And the most important thing that anyone can do, which is besides giving your life to your life to Jesus, is having children and getting married.

00:02:16.000 And it's just been amazing.

00:02:17.000 And so now TPUSA Faith, we have thousands of pastors as part of our pastor coalition across the country.

00:02:23.000 We're dealing with churches all across the country.

00:02:27.000 And our mission statement, as we were just talking with some of our pastor friends earlier, is to try to kick wokeism out of the American church as quickly as possible.

00:02:39.000 And there's a serious problem in American Christianity right now.

00:02:42.000 There are three types of churches.

00:02:43.000 There are the cowardly, the complacent, and the courageous.

00:02:46.000 You're in a courageous church here tonight.

00:02:50.000 And we have many courageous pastors from all over the valley here, but far too many are complacent.

00:02:56.000 They say, I don't do that political thing.

00:02:58.000 I don't get involved in it.

00:03:00.000 Well, the way all of you should respond is, well, do you do the biblical thing?

00:03:04.000 Do you do what the Bible says?

00:03:06.000 What do you make of Esther, Mordecai, Nehemiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, Elijah, who were counselors to the king, who cared about their nation, who cared about the welfare of the nation that they were in?

00:03:16.000 Jeremiah 29, 7 says, demand the welfare of the nation that you are in because your welfare is tied to your nation's welfare.

00:03:23.000 We as believers are called to care about our city, care about our state, care about our nation.

00:03:29.000 And it just so happens that we live in the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of the world, that we've been so blessed to be in this nation.

00:03:36.000 And it was largely founded and grew to what it is now today, and it's now falling apart thanks to Christians, thanks to churches.

00:03:45.000 And now the vast majority of American churches and pastors are remaining silent at this time for choosing.

00:03:51.000 So at TPUSA Faith, we aim to change that and honor to have so many members all across the country.

00:03:56.000 And we're going all in on Nevada.

00:03:58.000 Believe in this state.

00:04:03.000 I believe Nevada is the number one swing state in this election.

00:04:08.000 We are going to make or break this election.

00:04:11.000 So, as long as we're talking about it, let's talk about the TPUSA faith strategy for taking Nevada.

00:04:18.000 Yeah, and this is also part of our organization, Turning Point Action.

00:04:21.000 Those of you that watch the Charlie Kirk show and we have our Turning Point Action State.

00:04:25.000 Is that Brett back there?

00:04:26.000 Brett is from Wisconsin.

00:04:27.000 I'll talk about that in a second.

00:04:29.000 We need to win Wisconsin to everybody.

00:04:31.000 Wisconsin is a critically important state, and I'll walk through that.

00:04:35.000 But this state gives me so much hope because this state used to be Ruby Red, and then Harry Reid temporarily painted it blue.

00:04:44.000 And now we're going to bring it back to its Ruby Red roots here in the state of Nevada.

00:04:48.000 That's what we're going to do.

00:04:49.000 And what Harry Reid was a pioneer in the worst possible way, I think he's a very sinister human being, and he should not be remembered well.

00:04:59.000 Is that he wasn't so concerned about persuading people or about winning the argument?

00:05:05.000 He was really, he was so obsessed about machinery, about voting laws, about culinary union relationships, on precinct organizing.

00:05:15.000 And that is why Nevada went blue for so long.

00:05:19.000 Is that, and we know what it was.

00:05:20.000 He built a machine of fraud and corruption.

00:05:23.000 He built a whole machine of graft and intimidation.

00:05:27.000 I'm sure many of you have stories of outright mob-like intimidation of people that work on the strip.

00:05:33.000 You better bring your ballot to work.

00:05:35.000 You better submit it the way we tell you to.

00:05:38.000 And he built a whole machine around that.

00:05:41.000 And now that there are so many, a couple things are changing.

00:05:43.000 Number one, Hispanics here in the state of Nevada are turning red in record numbers and they are embracing Republicans, which I think is so promising and so exciting.

00:05:55.000 Number two is that traditional Democrats that work with their hands, the muscular class, if you will, people that shower before work and after work, they're leaving the Democrat Party.

00:06:07.000 And by the way, we need them in our country.

00:06:10.000 God bless the muscular class.

00:06:12.000 Police officers, firefighters, electricians, welders, you know, the people that do the tough work for all the conventions here.

00:06:19.000 And let's be honest, Vegas is home to a lot of people that don't have college degrees, that work their tail off in very difficult jobs, that work in, you know, labor-intensive jobs.

00:06:30.000 Vegas is a mini-center of the muscular class in this country.

00:06:34.000 And they're leaving the Democrat Party.

00:06:36.000 They see the Democrat Party as an out-of-touch, elitist oligarchy party that talks more about our democracy when they can't afford groceries, that talk more about systemic racism when they see what's happening at their local kids' school.

00:06:49.000 And so they're gravitating away from the Democrat Party, which I think is so exciting.

00:06:53.000 And I'm talking about people that work in the casino, not just work in the casinos, but work in all of your amazing industries here.

00:06:59.000 They used to be reliable Democrats, and now they're a swing demographic.

00:07:03.000 And then finally, there's a good amount of net inward migration.

00:07:07.000 Some of it is bad, but actually is generally good in this state.

00:07:11.000 Especially up in Washaw County, there's a lot of Republicans that are fleeing California and coming into Nevada and registering as Republicans.

00:07:19.000 And so those factors all coming together.

00:07:22.000 This is a legit battleground state.

00:07:24.000 Every new voter we register matters.

00:07:26.000 Every ballot that we chase matters.

00:07:28.000 Every ballot that we harvest matters.

00:07:30.000 Every conversation that we have matters.

00:07:33.000 Earlier today, I was on campus at UNLV, University of Nevada at Las Vegas.

00:07:39.000 And it's liberal, as you would imagine.

00:07:41.000 We had well over a thousand students show up at the height of the day in the blitzing sun to want to have conversations in support.

00:07:49.000 I think some of you might have been there and saw what we were doing there.

00:07:51.000 It was really exciting.

00:07:53.000 And that is not a normal response at a kind of center-left, somewhat liberal university.

00:07:58.000 And so there's something happening here in this state.

00:08:00.000 The Democrats have taken the state for granted.

00:08:03.000 They have not invested the resources that they have in other states.

00:08:06.000 They're starting to see it all of a sudden fall apart.

00:08:09.000 And it's time for us to go all in and accelerate and take this state back.

00:08:15.000 Amen.

00:08:16.000 Amen.

00:08:19.000 Charlie, everybody knows Charlie Kirk, the political activist.

00:08:24.000 Obviously, you're pretty popular in Nevada.

00:08:27.000 They know you from your campus visits and, you know, your Make Me Change My Mind tip booths.

00:08:35.000 But, you know, a few years ago, you started Turning Point Faith, and people in Nevada really don't understand kind of where does Turning Point Faith come from.

00:08:45.000 Would you tell us a little about Charlie, the man of God?

00:08:49.000 Thank you.

00:08:50.000 I pray that I am a man of God.

00:08:51.000 I am born new thanks to Jesus Christ, born again.

00:08:54.000 And I'm a believer and a very, very outspoken Christian.

00:09:00.000 But thank you for those kind words.

00:09:01.000 How did you come to Christ?

00:09:03.000 I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade in the suburbs of Chicago.

00:09:07.000 Most important decision I ever made in my life.

00:09:09.000 And, you know, every year as you grow older, decisions like that start to mean more and start to all of a sudden set in.

00:09:16.000 And, you know, I went to high school in the suburbs of Chicago, public high school, government high school.

00:09:21.000 I was always known as the Christian kid.

00:09:23.000 Many of you could probably relate to that.

00:09:25.000 And then started Turning Point USA when I was 18 years old.

00:09:28.000 Obviously, very political in my beliefs and my disposition.

00:09:34.000 I've been a Christian all throughout that journey.

00:09:36.000 Never thought I'd be doing anything in churches up until 2019, late 2019.

00:09:41.000 I'd never spoken at a church.

00:09:44.000 And it's now been, it'll be, what, five years in fall?

00:09:46.000 And I've now spoken at over 100 churches across the country.

00:09:49.000 I've learned a lot.

00:09:50.000 I have spoken at every type of church you can imagine, from five-point Calvinist churches to swinging from the chandelier Pentecostals.

00:09:57.000 I've seen it all.

00:09:59.000 But we launched TPUSA Faith as a direct response to a crisis.

00:10:06.000 Again, I needed another project like a hole in the head.

00:10:08.000 To give you an idea, we have 500 full-time employees at Turning Point.

00:10:12.000 We have Turning Point Academy, our high school division.

00:10:16.000 We have our college division.

00:10:17.000 We have our Campus Victory Project.

00:10:18.000 We have Turning Point Action.

00:10:20.000 We have an office in Wisconsin.

00:10:21.000 We have our media department.

00:10:22.000 We have Blexit.

00:10:23.000 We have productions.

00:10:24.000 I do three hours of radio a day.

00:10:26.000 I do podcasts when I'm, you know, my free time.

00:10:28.000 I do 300 public speeches a year and try to still be home for dinner and try to raise $80 million a year, 300,000 donors, run a development department.

00:10:38.000 I just say we have a lot going on.

00:10:40.000 And the last thing we needed was another project on top of it.

00:10:44.000 But honestly, it became the most important thing we were doing.

00:10:46.000 And it became the most important thing we were doing because I understood what would happen.

00:10:49.000 It was a crisis.

00:10:50.000 I'll tell you the story.

00:10:51.000 If the church all of a sudden became complacent and fell apart and was not strong and courageous, the country will immediately disintegrate.

00:10:58.000 And it was during COVID where, and you're going to have to forgive me.

00:11:02.000 Some of you heard the story earlier.

00:11:03.000 I'll repeat it.

00:11:04.000 I do a three-hour radio program every day.

00:11:06.000 Praise God.

00:11:07.000 It's been very popular.

00:11:08.000 It's on hundreds of radio stations across the country, also on Real America's Voice.

00:11:11.000 I'm sure some of you guys listen to it.

00:11:13.000 And thank you guys for supporting that.

00:11:15.000 And I looked directly into the camera and I made a prediction.

00:11:18.000 I said, let me make a prediction.

00:11:20.000 These lockdowns are not going to last very long and that the American church will not tolerate them.

00:11:25.000 And they're going to resist these lockdowns because the American church loves liberty.

00:11:29.000 And that was a very foolish thing to say.

00:11:32.000 Because the American church, except for churches like this and some present, generally do not love liberty.

00:11:38.000 And liberty is God's idea, not man's idea.

00:11:40.000 And I was looking around, shocked and saddened when churches stayed closed for Easter.

00:11:47.000 They stayed closed for Pentecost.

00:11:49.000 We had one of the greatest crises in American history where people were killing themselves at record rates we've never seen before because isolation and despair.

00:11:57.000 And the church was like, sorry, I'm afraid you might have the flu.

00:12:03.000 We turned away a youth that wanted camaraderie and community and said, why don't you just watch on the live stream?

00:12:09.000 It's the same thing anyway.

00:12:12.000 Eliminating the verse where it says, where two or more are gathered, do not forsake thee.

00:12:19.000 And by the way, watching church on YouTube live stream is like watching a fireplace on YouTube live stream.

00:12:26.000 You get all the effects, but none of the warmth.

00:12:34.000 And there's one other thing.

00:12:35.000 So then the race riots happened.

00:12:37.000 All the wokeism occurred.

00:12:39.000 And the church embraced that too.

00:12:41.000 And I said, we have to do something.

00:12:42.000 We launched TPUSA Faith.

00:12:44.000 It took us some months to get the funding and stuff together.

00:12:47.000 It's now one of our most successful divisions and departments.

00:12:50.000 We are doing pastors' trainings across the country.

00:12:53.000 Our recent pastor training in Phoenix, which many of you attended with our great friends at Dream City Church, was our largest ever.

00:13:00.000 I think we had over 2,000 people attend from all sorts of different churches across the country.

00:13:04.000 And we're just getting started.

00:13:06.000 And again, we are so focused on trying to strengthen the American church.

00:13:11.000 If the American church is not strong, the country will be weak.

00:13:15.000 It is that simple, and that's why TPUSA Faith exists.

00:13:18.000 Amen.

00:13:19.000 Amen.

00:13:24.000 I like watching YouTube fireplaces.

00:13:28.000 You just ruined it for me.

00:13:29.000 Thanks.

00:13:30.000 But, Jimmy, you would agree.

00:13:32.000 A real fireplace is better.

00:13:33.000 That's much better.

00:13:34.000 Amen.

00:13:37.000 So, you know, but this touches on the other issue I wanted to talk about tonight, and that is, you know, with TPUSA Faith, you've seen great success because it's nationwide and because of the reputation of turning point, pastors already knew about you, trusted you, were drawn to you, and they're coming to hear the message that is being shared at these conferences.

00:14:05.000 And they're amazing pastors' conferences.

00:14:07.000 I mean, the stuff that they're hearing at these conferences is opening eyes and changing churches.

00:14:13.000 But there's still a huge percentage of churches out there that are sold on the idea that somehow it's immoral or ungodly for churches to be involved in politics.

00:14:29.000 Yeah, and it's funny.

00:14:30.000 There's an open invitation.

00:14:32.000 It's really interesting.

00:14:33.000 I can get a tranny, a Marxist, or always to debate me.

00:14:37.000 I can't get a woke pastor ever to debate me.

00:14:42.000 I'm going to keep trying.

00:14:44.000 It's the strangest thing.

00:14:46.000 You know, I'll set up a shop at UNLV, and, you know, you got the Black Lives Matter people.

00:14:50.000 They'll come scream.

00:14:51.000 We have a conversation.

00:14:51.000 It's fine.

00:14:53.000 But I've had an open invite for three years for any one of these woke pastors to come on my program, which, by the way, is a bigger audience than they'll ever have, to come on and to talk about why they think where it says in the Bible, they only can use the Bible, okay?

00:15:07.000 You can't use New Age philosophy.

00:15:09.000 You can't use feelings and emotions.

00:15:11.000 You can't use words like nice that are not in the scripture.

00:15:13.000 Only in the 66 books of the Word of God does it say, should we not get involved in politics?

00:15:19.000 Where does it say that?

00:15:20.000 And they'll never do that because, first of all, many of them are afraid of anything that is like not in Matthew.

00:15:26.000 Okay?

00:15:30.000 But I can show you in Matthew where it says we are supposed to be politics.

00:15:33.000 Of course, but I mean, and then they'll say, well, you know, it's context-specific.

00:15:36.000 And but there's some truth to this, though, which is Andy Stanley, who's a motivational speaker who calls himself a pastor in Georgia.

00:15:46.000 And he comes out and he says, we, I'll never forget, it was a tweet.

00:15:50.000 You guys during question and answer, someone find the tweet for me who's tech savvy because I don't want to ever, I never want to be inaccurate.

00:15:56.000 He said something of the idea that Jesus Christ is more than the 66 books of the Bible and that the Old Testament is not that important to understanding Jesus.

00:16:08.000 This is such rubbish, which is what prophecy do you think he was fulfilling?

00:16:14.000 Why do you think all of a sudden the followers said you might be the one?

00:16:18.000 You might be, what does Messiah mean?

00:16:20.000 Where does that idea come from?

00:16:22.000 Did it just come ex nihilo out of nowhere?

00:16:24.000 By the way, did Jesus was an observant Jew?

00:16:28.000 So shouldn't we know what observant Jews believed, understand what our Lord and Savior also believed, and the line of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Joseph, David, that led to our Lord and Savior?

00:16:40.000 But the reason they don't like the Old Testament, number one, it's too many words for a lot of them.

00:16:45.000 It's just, you know, it's too much.

00:16:47.000 Number two, no, it really is.

00:16:49.000 Number two, though, is that they think it's too judgy.

00:16:54.000 And they said, well, it's kind of mean.

00:16:58.000 I don't like it in Leviticus where it says, two men shall not lay together like they will lay with a woman.

00:17:04.000 Because, you know, I run a motivational seminar that is called a church with really good coffee and organized parking.

00:17:10.000 And, you know, I want to make sure I don't offend anybody.

00:17:15.000 If you are afraid of offending people, you should not be a pastor.

00:17:24.000 The problem is, is that pastors think that people come to church for affirmation.

00:17:32.000 They come to church for redemption.

00:17:35.000 They come to church for hope.

00:17:38.000 They don't come to church to hear that all the decisions they made in the last week were terrific.

00:17:43.000 Like, woof, thanks.

00:17:45.000 I'm really glad, you know, that all the decisions I made about the money I stole from my company, just perfectly fine.

00:17:54.000 You cannot get revival without repentance.

00:17:57.000 You can't get repentance without talking about sin.

00:18:00.000 And so they also ignore that the Old Testament in particular is some of the most political ancient documents ever composed.

00:18:10.000 The most, and I'll throw back to you in a second, Jimmy, on this, because I think it's super important.

00:18:14.000 The founding fathers, when they founded America, the book that they cited more than any other book, secular or religious, was the book of Deuteronomy, Moses' farewell address to God's chosen people.

00:18:25.000 And there is a lot in Deuteronomy that talks about the structure of government, separation of powers, consent to the governed.

00:18:31.000 The founding fathers built the American Constitution primarily on the structure of the book of Deuteronomy.

00:18:37.000 And yet pastors say that we shouldn't get political.

00:18:40.000 You should challenge them the same way Jesus challenged the Pharisees and say, what does politics even mean?

00:18:46.000 Give me a definition.

00:18:47.000 They can't.

00:18:48.000 You know what politics means in Greek?

00:18:50.000 Business of the city.

00:18:51.000 That's it.

00:18:52.000 Should the church be involved in business of the city?

00:18:55.000 You should ask that your next Sunday.

00:18:57.000 Hey, Pastor, should we be involved in the business of the city?

00:19:00.000 Of course we should be.

00:19:01.000 Okay, so you think we should be political?

00:19:02.000 No, that's too divisive.

00:19:04.000 Did Christ come to unite?

00:19:06.000 He came to divide, divide truth from error.

00:19:11.000 People have this idea, well, you know, we must have this like 1960s John Lennon version of Jesus where everyone can do whatever they want to do.

00:19:18.000 It's like Buddhist Jesus.

00:19:19.000 It's like, who am I to judge?

00:19:21.000 And, you know, all this sort of stuff.

00:19:22.000 Jesus sits on the throne of judgment in the book of Revelation.

00:19:28.000 And yet here we are today with churches that are indecipherable from TED Talks with a rock concert.

00:19:37.000 I love it.

00:19:38.000 There it is.

00:19:39.000 There it is.

00:19:39.000 Here it is.

00:19:40.000 Thank you so much.

00:19:43.000 He says that Old Testament should not be seen as, quote, the go-to source regarding any behavior in the church.

00:19:49.000 In his view, the first century leadership of the church, quote, unhitched the church from the worldview value system and regulation of the Jewish scriptures, according to Andy Stanley.

00:19:58.000 Thank you.

00:19:59.000 So that's quite remarkable.

00:20:01.000 It's unhitched from creation, right?

00:20:04.000 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

00:20:06.000 Andy Stanley rejects such truth.

00:20:08.000 It's amazing how far he fell from his dad's tree.

00:20:13.000 Yeah, and by the way, let's just talk.

00:20:14.000 Can I, how much trouble am I allowed to get in?

00:20:16.000 Oh, all the way, man.

00:20:17.000 All the way.

00:20:18.000 Go for it.

00:20:22.000 And I don't, again, I'm a political guy, so I don't like play by all these fake Christian nice rules, right?

00:20:28.000 Where, again, it's like, it just drives me nuts.

00:20:30.000 Like, oh, I can't say that because, okay, whatever.

00:20:33.000 We need to speak truthfully.

00:20:34.000 It's like someone who I loved growing up was Rick Warren.

00:20:37.000 Like, what happened to him?

00:20:38.000 Rick Warren marched in a BLM parade.

00:20:41.000 Rick Warren eulogized Timothy Keller, who didn't finish well either, by the way.

00:20:45.000 Timothy Keller, you should never listen to.

00:20:47.000 Timothy Keller, by the way, said the Bible does not speak clearly about abortion.

00:20:50.000 Did you know that?

00:20:50.000 Timothy Keller.

00:20:52.000 Yeah.

00:20:52.000 He eulogized Timothy Keller, saying that, oh my goodness, Timothy Keller didn't, you know, never wade into right-wing politics.

00:21:01.000 That's why he was so great.

00:21:02.000 That's what Rick Warren said about Timothy Keller.

00:21:05.000 But there's this whole new genre of like these cool kid pastors that they want to get invited to Lakers games and they want to be around celebrities.

00:21:14.000 You know, like that male model that was the church in New York who cheated on his wife, Carl Lentz, yeah, who was like, again, he was a serial adulterer, and I knew it as soon as I met him.

00:21:26.000 I turned to my then-girlfriend.

00:21:27.000 I said, that guy is cheating on his wife.

00:21:28.000 She said, how do you know?

00:21:29.000 I said, just wait.

00:21:30.000 Just wait a year and a half.

00:21:31.000 He said, he's a liar.

00:21:32.000 He's a thief.

00:21:33.000 He's a bad, bad dude.

00:21:34.000 And next thing you know, he's like, oh, my goodness, big crisis.

00:21:37.000 I said, yeah, I mean, he's walking around shirtless with Justin Bieber with tattoos all over himself, sharing the doctrine of Jesus.

00:21:44.000 And at his church, he's like, who am I to judge?

00:21:46.000 You know, homosexuality is fine in the eyes of God.

00:21:48.000 It's like, you're not a pastor, okay?

00:21:50.000 And by the way, it goes on for all these people that run these massive, massive enterprises that they never talk about the actual roots of the scripture.

00:21:58.000 Why?

00:21:58.000 They've turned Christianity into a business model.

00:22:01.000 And the business model is about affirmation and inspiration, not about the truth of Jesus Christ.

00:22:07.000 And it's done huge damage to the kingdom in this country.

00:22:09.000 Amen.

00:22:10.000 Amen.

00:22:11.000 Okay, so let's quit beating up the church.

00:22:14.000 It needs a good spanking, no doubt.

00:22:17.000 But that's not the church, Jimmy.

00:22:18.000 No, it's an imposter.

00:22:20.000 Exactly.

00:22:21.000 That's what's so important.

00:22:24.000 And this always shocks people when I say this, but that's why I believe that COVID was the best thing that ever happened to the church.

00:22:33.000 Because it showed where people stood.

00:22:36.000 And we started to see during COVID who was asleep, who was awake, who was real, and who was a fake.

00:22:46.000 Amen.

00:22:46.000 Yeah, it became obvious.

00:22:48.000 And I think, I don't know the numbers of how many churches failed during COVID.

00:22:53.000 It was staggering, but I think it was the best thing that ever happened to the church because most of them needed to close their doors.

00:22:59.000 Amen.

00:22:59.000 Yeah.

00:23:00.000 So let's talk about something else here, kind of going back to the election.

00:23:06.000 And this one is something that I want you to speak to because I think it speaks to many of the Christians, the people that didn't vote.

00:23:17.000 And they don't come out and tell you they didn't vote.

00:23:19.000 You hear it in offhand discussions.

00:23:24.000 But the ones that didn't vote, here's the things that they were saying.

00:23:28.000 Why bother?

00:23:29.000 And here's what they said.

00:23:30.000 Election fraud, a corrupt justice system, a pathetic Congress, an illegal alien invasion, social media election interference, a 2022 red wave that never happened, a left-biased news media.

00:23:45.000 They're frustrated, and I understand they're frustrated, but how do we as pastors stir these people to try again, to stay in the fight?

00:23:57.000 Thank you.

00:23:58.000 I get that a lot too.

00:23:59.000 I have very little patience for that because I hate cynicism.

00:24:02.000 I hate negativity.

00:24:03.000 If you want to be cynical and negative, just get out of the way.

00:24:07.000 We have way too much on front of ourselves to go build, to go create.

00:24:11.000 I could add more to the list, by the way.

00:24:13.000 You know, they're transiting our kids.

00:24:14.000 There's a million abortions a year.

00:24:15.000 The border is wide open.

00:24:17.000 Politicians are never held accountable.

00:24:18.000 Fauci just got a new bonus.

00:24:19.000 Peter struckstroke.

00:24:20.000 Smirk didn't go to jail.

00:24:21.000 Lois Lerner didn't go to jail.

00:24:24.000 Can I continue?

00:24:25.000 We have 1,200 people in gulags called January 6th trials, defendants without getting proper hearings.

00:24:33.000 I could go on.

00:24:35.000 And so the people, so does that demoralize you?

00:24:38.000 Then are you Christian?

00:24:41.000 I mean, why would that demoralize you?

00:24:43.000 Okay.

00:24:43.000 The best thing about being surrounded is you can shoot in any direction.

00:24:48.000 But I also this idea, I just want to make sure I understand.

00:24:51.000 I'm not going to vote because things are bad or because it's broken.

00:24:53.000 Okay, voting takes like five minutes.

00:24:56.000 So it's very simple.

00:24:57.000 It's called Pascal's Wager.

00:24:58.000 Do you guys know this?

00:24:59.000 Which is that he postulated that the downside of not believing in God means eternal damnation.

00:25:05.000 And the upside of believing in God is potentially you can go to heaven.

00:25:08.000 So the downside is so great and the upside is so, you know, is so also great and it takes almost no effort.

00:25:13.000 So he postulated like, it makes more sense to then believe in God just in that one.

00:25:17.000 It's the same thing with voting, which is not voting guarantees their takeover of the entire country.

00:25:22.000 And where does this spirit of negativity and victimhood come from?

00:25:27.000 Where is the American gusto that, hey, guys, guess what?

00:25:29.000 We might lose in November.

00:25:31.000 Are you going to give up?

00:25:32.000 No.

00:25:33.000 We might lose.

00:25:34.000 I just hope you understand.

00:25:35.000 And if your answer is yes, you are what the founding fathers made fun of as a summer patriot, a sunshine patriot, as someone that would never have the grit to go through the tough times, never have the grit to go through the smallpox of the winter to actually go fight the British.

00:25:50.000 Guess what?

00:25:50.000 If we lose in November, and I'm dedicating my life to make sure that we win, okay?

00:25:54.000 Literally everything in my fiber of my being makes sure we win.

00:25:58.000 If we lose, I go to work the next day.

00:26:00.000 And you should too.

00:26:01.000 And this whole idea is like, wow, the odds are so stacked against us and it's so rigged.

00:26:06.000 How about all the things that are working in our favor?

00:26:08.000 You might say, well, what's working in our favor?

00:26:10.000 They tried to take out Donald Trump by throwing him in prison and hijacking the Republican primary, and he won it speedily and easier and more triumphantly than anyone could have imagined.

00:26:21.000 Number one.

00:26:21.000 Number two, we are seeing massive demographic realignment.

00:26:27.000 Young people are turning right wing.

00:26:29.000 We are seeing Hispanics come our direction.

00:26:31.000 Working class blacks, we are seeing this illegitimate regime finally be exposed for who they truly are.

00:26:37.000 So I could go through the line of all the positive things that are happening.

00:26:40.000 I just, this idea, like, oh my goodness, it's so demoralizing.

00:26:43.000 I'm not going to sugarcoat it.

00:26:45.000 They might steal it again.

00:26:47.000 And if that deters you from voting, then I got nothing for you.

00:26:51.000 Like, shame on you to do like five minutes to go do a very basic thing.

00:26:55.000 Yeah, they might tear up your ballot at the counting center.

00:26:58.000 Still do it.

00:26:59.000 Still try to chase ballots.

00:27:00.000 You know why?

00:27:01.000 You don't do the right thing for the outcome.

00:27:03.000 You do it out of obedience to God because you love God and he commands you to fight.

00:27:10.000 You must have your why right.

00:27:12.000 It's like saying, you know, in military terms, and God bless all of our veterans, because not a single person in the military would think this way, by the way.

00:27:19.000 Amen.

00:27:19.000 They would never think this way.

00:27:21.000 They wouldn't say, I'm not going to follow orders and potentially lay down my life for my country because it might not work well for me.

00:27:27.000 You know what?

00:27:28.000 didn't work out well for hundreds of thousands of people that were killed in the line of fire, but they did it anyway.

00:27:33.000 I'm not asking you to storm Normandy Beach.

00:27:35.000 I'm asking you to fill out a piece of paper and drop it off at the county elections office.

00:27:41.000 What are we talking about here?

00:27:42.000 Amen.

00:27:46.000 Well, there's your pep talk.

00:27:48.000 Get busy.

00:27:49.000 No, but I do that intentionally because I could do this.

00:27:52.000 I could be like, well, guys, this time it's going to be different and all this.

00:27:55.000 I don't know if it will be.

00:27:56.000 I have some promising things, but I have a moral obligation not to lie to you and also to make sure that we have our why right, why we're involved in this fight, why we're engaged in the trenches.

00:28:06.000 Because if I just try to say, hey, one more and everything's going to be right, this will be a fight for liberty in the country as long as every single one of us is alive.

00:28:14.000 They will never go away.

00:28:15.000 They will never give up.

00:28:16.000 These are nasty, parasitic creatures that want to destroy everything beautiful in the world.

00:28:21.000 If that intimidates you, go home, watch March Madness, and just stay in oblivion away from those of us that are going to save the country.

00:28:28.000 Just get out of our way.

00:28:30.000 We have a country to save, and we're going to get it done.

00:28:34.000 Amen.

00:28:35.000 Amen.

00:28:36.000 That's exactly it.

00:28:38.000 So you've been fighting this.

00:28:40.000 Sorry if I'm too intense to meet you.

00:28:42.000 Dude, I love that.

00:28:43.000 That is perfect.

00:28:46.000 Right?

00:28:47.000 Amen.

00:28:52.000 So let's look at the college campuses.

00:28:56.000 You're fighting this fight, and everywhere you go.

00:28:58.000 I just saw that when you had Rittenhouse, you guys got chased out by the mobs, and the cops had to corral you guys out, and they were attacking.

00:29:10.000 That's right.

00:29:11.000 So you've got a few evil liberals that are destroying freedom on our campuses.

00:29:20.000 What's the vibe on our campuses?

00:29:22.000 Are we seeing a conservative revival?

00:29:25.000 Are we seeing, are we losing the fight?

00:29:28.000 I mean, our professors are all woke.

00:29:30.000 Yeah, they are.

00:29:30.000 I mean, look, it's still a majority left-wing, I have to be honest, but it is far more promising and far more conservative than any time I've been doing this in the last 12 years.

00:29:39.000 I have visited and spoke at and organized more campuses than any person, I think, alive, at least in the last couple of decades.

00:29:47.000 God bless you, yes.

00:29:48.000 And the credit is to our students.

00:29:50.000 The credit is to our staff that do that difficult work every day.

00:29:53.000 And they deserve credit and praise because they have gone through so much.

00:29:56.000 You know, let's talk about the Kyle Rittenhouse event last evening.

00:30:00.000 Our turning point USA chapter leader who hosted that event had his private address put on internet, based on the internet, basically so that BLM gangsters and thugs could go try to hunt him down, harass him, and potentially harm him.

00:30:12.000 His private information put up on a public dashboard of all of these gangsters that could then come after him.

00:30:18.000 They show up in huge numbers.

00:30:20.000 They show up, you know, beating all sorts of, you know, like banging windows, chasing down people, blocking roads, banging on cars.

00:30:26.000 Thankfully, nobody got hurt.

00:30:28.000 Praise God that the police were there to intervene.

00:30:31.000 Again, this is in the city of Memphis.

00:30:33.000 That is one of the most, if not the most murderous per capita cities in the country.

00:30:36.000 And they're super worried that Kyle Rittenhouse is going to go share about how the American justice system is flawed in some ways, but good in other ways.

00:30:45.000 And thankfully he's not in jail.

00:30:46.000 Like actually a pretty interesting story, right?

00:30:48.000 One of the more important cultural figures of our time, especially for young people.

00:30:52.000 You know, this idea of guilty into proven innocent and like the trial by a mob in the media.

00:30:56.000 He's good at delivering it.

00:30:57.000 It's fine.

00:30:58.000 Meanwhile, they're there screaming at him and shouting him down.

00:31:01.000 That's not a majority.

00:31:01.000 It's a fringe minority.

00:31:03.000 The administration catered to them, by the way, and gave them effectively inside access to the student database, gave the activists the ability to disrupt the event, which is a violation.

00:31:14.000 We might sue the University of Memphis for what they did here because you're not allowed to do that.

00:31:18.000 Good.

00:31:20.000 But let's talk about it.

00:31:22.000 Young men on campus, and the numbers show this.

00:31:25.000 Young men are the most conservative they've been in 50 years.

00:31:28.000 They're the most conservative in 50 years.

00:31:31.000 Young ladies present a great opportunity.

00:31:35.000 They are not conservative.

00:31:40.000 What do you think that is?

00:31:41.000 Well, there's a couple reasons for this.

00:31:43.000 Abortion is obviously part of it, but they've been sold a lie through culture, through media, through even some of their parents that you basically have to go pursue this corporate trajectory and that men are always the problem and suppress your biological impulses.

00:32:00.000 Let me say that, you know, the church is here to help people put it back together when they have blown it.

00:32:06.000 And so when you have those hurting people, hey, minister to them, bring them to church.

00:32:11.000 They need Jesus.

00:32:13.000 And guess what?

00:32:14.000 We're a house full of broken people.

00:32:16.000 You know, we've all been down the wrong roads.

00:32:19.000 And look at what God's doing in our lives.

00:32:22.000 So this is the place to bring them and reach out to them, love on them.

00:32:27.000 Don't tell them too bad, so sad.

00:32:28.000 You should have listened to Charlie.

00:32:30.000 He's got a podcast, three hours a day on the radio.

00:32:33.000 Just bring them to church and let us love them.

00:32:36.000 Let us minister to them and help them put it back together.

00:32:39.000 And we'll win them to Christ.

00:32:40.000 And then maybe they'll actually vote conservative.

00:32:43.000 So we're going to open it up to some QA time.

00:32:46.000 And I'm not real clear how we're doing it.

00:32:48.000 We've got a couple guys, people with mics.

00:32:50.000 And where are you guys going to stand?

00:32:52.000 Right there and right here.

00:32:54.000 So if you have questions, just kind of line up down those aisles there.

00:32:58.000 And we'll take questions as long as we can before it's time to close.

00:33:01.000 Just try to make them questions, not statements with a question mark at the end.

00:33:06.000 We'll start here, if that's okay.

00:33:08.000 Young man here.

00:33:09.000 And if you guys want to start queuing up or lining up, we'll try to get to as many questions as we can.

00:33:13.000 Yes, sir.

00:33:14.000 All right.

00:33:15.000 So my question is, what are we doing to encourage our youth to start dating again?

00:33:20.000 Like real dating.

00:33:22.000 Like not just going on Tinder.

00:33:24.000 So, you know, I've been married for a while now, and I work with a lot of my Gen Z co-workers, and they are terrified of in-person dating.

00:33:33.000 They literally can't have a conversation outside of, let me just swipe right and see if she likes me.

00:33:38.000 So I guess my question is, you know, how can we help youth learn how to have in-person dates again?

00:33:44.000 Because I think that's going to help the whole idea with having the young ladies become more conservative.

00:33:50.000 Sometimes you've got to flirt to convert, right?

00:33:52.000 So let's get them on the right side.

00:33:55.000 Yeah, I mean, no one should be on these dating apps.

00:33:58.000 It's amazing to me.

00:34:00.000 The apps are basically just gateways for, you know, free sex is basically what they've become.

00:34:05.000 They're not dating apps.

00:34:06.000 They're hookup apps.

00:34:07.000 It's a big difference.

00:34:08.000 But yeah, this is where the church should be actively involved in trying to get people married younger and younger.

00:34:14.000 I mean, you guys are the wedding capital of the world, right?

00:34:16.000 So you guys can lead the way here.

00:34:18.000 The divorce capital.

00:34:20.000 I'm sure you are.

00:34:22.000 Yeah, I don't know exactly how we can lead on that except by example.

00:34:26.000 But yeah, look, it's a crisis.

00:34:28.000 We are not having enough babies in our country right now.

00:34:31.000 We are on the verge of a population collapse.

00:34:34.000 And there's this whole trend on social media called Dinks, dual income, no kids, of people that are married and they're deciding not to have children.

00:34:42.000 And I just think that's a tragedy.

00:34:44.000 I think that it's incredibly selfish.

00:34:46.000 I think it's bad for society.

00:34:48.000 And we as churches should be the beacon for try to have very, very big families.

00:34:52.000 Amen.

00:34:53.000 Amen.

00:34:53.000 Yes, sir.

00:34:55.000 Hi, Charlie.

00:34:56.000 Why should Republicans be entrusted with maintaining control of the House, the Senate, and the White House when the Republicans lack unity?

00:35:05.000 We look at the Democrats, your progressive Democrats, your moderate Democrats, and your blue dog Democrats are all united.

00:35:12.000 Why can't the Libertarian Republicans, your Thomas Massey Republicans, and your McConnell Republicans unite?

00:35:18.000 Yeah, I wish they could.

00:35:21.000 So again, I'm very honest.

00:35:23.000 The best reason to control the House and the Senate is to prevent their bad stuff from happening, to be honest, which is to add D.C. and Puerto Rico estates and to eliminate the Electoral College and stack the Supreme Court.

00:35:37.000 Yeah, and then hopefully, if we have President Trump, we can actually get an actual border bill passed.

00:35:42.000 We need to balance the budget.

00:35:45.000 I am so disappointed at what D.C. has done.

00:35:47.000 I mean, we don't talk about it.

00:35:48.000 We're borrowing $100 trillion.

00:35:51.000 I'm sorry.

00:35:51.000 We're borrowing $1 trillion every 100 days.

00:35:54.000 That's what I meant to say.

00:35:55.000 A trillion dollars every 100 days.

00:35:57.000 It's outrageous.

00:35:58.000 So why should they be entrusted with support?

00:36:01.000 Because they're not Democrats.

00:36:04.000 Other than that, they haven't earned our support.

00:36:07.000 I mean, they haven't.

00:36:09.000 I like Speaker Johnson.

00:36:10.000 I'm been very critical of him on certain things.

00:36:12.000 He's just going to keep on letting us down on a lot of other stuff.

00:36:15.000 That's just the way D.C. works, though.

00:36:17.000 But you're up against a force where they have a whole saying: vote blue no matter who.

00:36:22.000 The problem with conservatives is we're way too individualistic and we're very critical.

00:36:28.000 And the Democrats never challenge their own.

00:36:32.000 They're like very communistic, very Stalinistic, like the Borg.

00:36:36.000 They always get in line.

00:36:38.000 We're here, we're like, you're not conservative enough.

00:36:40.000 Where is this?

00:36:41.000 Or you're a rhino.

00:36:42.000 And by the way, I sympathize with all that, just to be clear, right?

00:36:44.000 I'm kind of one of those people.

00:36:45.000 At the same time, handing over the gala to Hakeem Jeffries or letting Chuck Schumer remain as Senate majority leader would be awful.

00:36:52.000 It'd be terrible.

00:36:53.000 And you guys can flip the Senate seat here in Nevada.

00:36:56.000 This is very, very flippable here.

00:36:59.000 Jackie Rosen, right?

00:37:00.000 She's up.

00:37:00.000 That's right.

00:37:01.000 Yeah.

00:37:01.000 She's very, very beatable.

00:37:03.000 So thank you.

00:37:04.000 Hi, Charlie.

00:37:05.000 I was there on UNLV campus.

00:37:07.000 Did you enjoy it?

00:37:08.000 I enjoyed it.

00:37:09.000 I heard everything.

00:37:10.000 I was a big supporter of you.

00:37:11.000 Listen, I wanted to see what you can do to tell President Trump to get himself over there to Chicago, to get himself over there to Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, to have a rally over there because I believe that the Democrats there, the black folks over there, are ripe and ready to vote Republican, but we need him to show up and to really represent and let them know that he's there for them.

00:37:38.000 Can you do that for us?

00:37:39.000 Oh, thank you.

00:37:40.000 My answer to anything when it comes to Trump is I'm not even going to try.

00:37:45.000 But he is a friend.

00:37:48.000 He's terrific.

00:37:50.000 And I'm very biased because I've got to know him very well over the years.

00:37:53.000 I will say this.

00:37:54.000 I love the idea, but I'm going to push for him to do those rallies in swing states.

00:37:58.000 So how about this?

00:37:58.000 An inner city black rally in Atlanta and Milwaukee and Philadelphia and Detroit.

00:38:02.000 Now we got agreement.

00:38:04.000 Amen.

00:38:05.000 Because I totally agree with you.

00:38:08.000 Working class blacks, working-class Hispanics are primed to come our direction.

00:38:13.000 In fact, Donald Trump is one of the few candidates that can really penetrate the Democrat monopoly that they've enjoyed for years with black Americans and Hispanic Americans.

00:38:24.000 Hispanic Americans are already happening.

00:38:25.000 Black Americans, I think, he can make historic gains there.

00:38:28.000 I really do.

00:38:29.000 God bless you.

00:38:29.000 Thank you.

00:38:30.000 Thank you for all your work.

00:38:31.000 Yes, sir.

00:38:34.000 Well, I had a bit more of a personal question for you guys.

00:38:39.000 What's your favorite, if you want to share, your favorite scripture?

00:38:42.000 I was wondering.

00:38:44.000 So a couple.

00:38:45.000 I love John 10, 10, where it says, the enemy has come to lie, steal, cheat, and destroy, but I, Christ Jesus, have come to give life and life more abundantly.

00:38:53.000 I think that beautifully frames the whole gospel and the whole spiritual war.

00:38:57.000 As far as why I do what I do, Psalm 97:10, those who love God must hate evil, which is a great, great verse of why I'm in the fight.

00:39:05.000 As far as politics, Jeremiah 29, 7, demand the welfare of the nation that you are in because your welfare is tied to your nation's welfare.

00:39:12.000 As far as the story, I always love rebelling against a tyrant.

00:39:16.000 So I love Exodus 1, where the midwives to the Hebrews rebelled against Pharaoh, who's considered a god at the time, and refused to throw the babies in the Nile River, and God dealt well with them and dealt with favor with them.

00:39:28.000 So I could keep on going from there, but I love the Bible.

00:39:31.000 I love the word.

00:39:32.000 I study it closely.

00:39:33.000 I'm not a theologian.

00:39:34.000 I'm not a pastor.

00:39:34.000 I'm just a layman.

00:39:36.000 But the Bible is the most important thing that God has given us to show us how to live and to show us that his promises are true.

00:39:44.000 Thank you.

00:39:46.000 Thanks.

00:39:48.000 Hi.

00:39:50.000 You made a statement earlier that the Republicans are gaining ground in Nevada, and I just looked up the statistics.

00:39:56.000 And according to the Secretary of State, we've lost 465 people from January to February.

00:40:02.000 With that being said, my question being, do you believe that the 2020 election was stolen and do you believe the machines were manipulated?

00:40:09.000 I do believe it was stolen.

00:40:11.000 The machines might have.

00:40:12.000 I don't love the question because what it does is that a lot of people in my audience are now saying they won't vote.

00:40:18.000 I'm not telling people not to vote.

00:40:20.000 I just think we need to be realistic and we need to watch those voter statistics because they're going down and they're probably manipulated.

00:40:26.000 All right, so the machines will be there in November.

00:40:28.000 Should we still vote?

00:40:29.000 Yes, we should.

00:40:30.000 Okay, but I thought it's rigged.

00:40:32.000 I believe it is.

00:40:33.000 I just wanted to know what your question is.

00:40:35.000 What you thought.

00:40:36.000 I think that's a fair question.

00:40:37.000 Yeah, it's fair.

00:40:38.000 The machines might be doing stuff.

00:40:40.000 I don't know.

00:40:40.000 I'm agnostic on it.

00:40:41.000 I do think it was rigged.

00:40:42.000 I think it was rigged provably in other ways.

00:40:45.000 Most provably, first with the Twitter-FBI collusion on the Hunter Biden laptop story.

00:40:51.000 Secondly, the mass mail-in balloting stuff.

00:40:54.000 But I don't love the question as we're nine months away from an election because every day I have to debate people in my email inbox that say I will not vote this November.

00:41:04.000 Oh, I will vote, but I'm going to vote day of, and I'm going to vote, I'm going to stand in line if it takes me 10 hours.

00:41:10.000 I will do that.

00:41:11.000 Great.

00:41:11.000 Not everyone's like you.

00:41:13.000 They should be because you know what?

00:41:14.000 George Washington laid in a bunker.

00:41:16.000 Yes, I know.

00:41:17.000 But live in reality, not in Narnia.

00:41:20.000 Not everyone is a patriot, okay?

00:41:22.000 There's some people that have four kids and they have to get them from daycare.

00:41:27.000 They have to go pick up the dry cleaning and get dinner.

00:41:30.000 And so when they show up on day of in Scottsdale to go vote for Carrie Lake and the machines are broken and it's a three and a half hour wait, they say, forget it.

00:41:37.000 She's up five points in the polls.

00:41:39.000 I don't need to vote.

00:41:40.000 Wouldn't it have been better for that soccer mom to vote early?

00:41:44.000 Depends if they flip it.

00:41:46.000 Thank you very much.

00:41:49.000 Hey, Charlie, I know you've been to Mar-a-Lago, which kind of dumps only worth $18 million.

00:41:54.000 So, but by the way, if Mar-a-Lago is only worth $18 million, I'm going to go put in a bid.

00:41:59.000 I'm buying it.

00:42:01.000 So in President Trump's first term, some of the political appointees were not the greatest as we saw, stabbed in the back a lot.

00:42:08.000 So hopefully he gets re-elected.

00:42:11.000 What can we do to change that for the future?

00:42:12.000 And can you influence that in any way?

00:42:14.000 Can you talk to Don Jr. maybe?

00:42:16.000 Yeah, it's no, this is the.

00:42:18.000 So if I were to say, of all the things I hear from the grassroots, and Trump is beloved, of things that Trump could have done better, it'd be Fauci, response to COVID with the vaccine, and then finally, personnel.

00:42:31.000 Even Rush Limbaugh, who never criticized Donald Trump, said, Donald Trump's selection of people is puzzling at times.

00:42:42.000 You got to love Rush, right?

00:42:45.000 I miss him so much.

00:42:46.000 And what a gift to humanity Rush Limbaugh was.

00:42:51.000 Is there any influence we can have so that, I don't know, maybe we discuss it with him in his inner circle?

00:42:56.000 I'm not sure who's going to be able to do it.

00:42:57.000 I think it's going to be a lot better.

00:42:58.000 And it's never going to be perfect.

00:43:01.000 And I don't want to make over-promises.

00:43:03.000 But look, you have to understand, Donald Trump came from a world where the incentive structure was largely financial driven.

00:43:09.000 Okay?

00:43:10.000 So therefore, it was a very one-to-one type deal.

00:43:12.000 You say you're going to do A, and if you don't do A, then I'll know why, because you don't want to get rich.

00:43:17.000 In politics, there's 50 different incentives, right?

00:43:20.000 They might have loyalty to some ideological agenda.

00:43:23.000 They might be blackmailed.

00:43:24.000 They might be there to try to leak on you.

00:43:26.000 They might be afraid for some future job they want.

00:43:29.000 And Donald Trump got an education in the swamp, if you will.

00:43:33.000 But not everyone he chose was awful, right?

00:43:36.000 He had Ben Carson in his cabinet, right?

00:43:38.000 He had some terrific people that we like.

00:43:42.000 And there were some people that, quite honestly, I think that we would have not have liked to see them around.

00:43:46.000 Dr. Deborah Burks, Anthony Fauci to be kind of two of them at the top of our list.

00:43:50.000 So I can't speak to that privately, but I do know that there's a robust project called Project 2025 by the Heritage Foundation that is trying to solve this problem specifically to try to make sure that the next administration is staffed correctly.

00:44:05.000 America First Policy Institute is doing the same thing.

00:44:08.000 And remember, seven years ago, Donald Trump understood the game, but he didn't know the players.

00:44:14.000 Now he understands the game and he knows the players.

00:44:17.000 He's still going to pick some wrong ones, guaranteed.

00:44:20.000 Can't no choice, but I guarantee you he's going to do a lot better this time.

00:44:23.000 And I hope it starts with a really solid vice president pick, right?

00:44:27.000 Charlie Kirk.

00:44:28.000 No, no, no.

00:44:31.000 So I'm 30 years old.

00:44:34.000 I constitutionally can't be vice president of the United States.

00:44:39.000 Kidding.

00:44:39.000 JD Vance is my current frontrunner.

00:44:41.000 I like JD a lot.

00:44:42.000 JD is terrible.

00:44:44.000 And I could give you an argument why if you guys are interested later.

00:44:46.000 Yes, ma'am.

00:44:47.000 Hello, Charlie.

00:44:48.000 So I actually attend UNLV, and I sent in class with the Wilk professors.

00:44:52.000 We are currently learning about decolonization.

00:44:54.000 And because of that, I've been told that as a Hispanic woman, I hold my conservative Christian values due to colonization.

00:45:02.000 So as the Hispanic community is growing and learning and going back to their conservative roots, what do you have to say to the Hispanic community being told that they are a product of colonization?

00:45:13.000 Yeah, I mean, they're not.

00:45:14.000 Just so everyone understands what decolonization means, it's decivilization, just so we're clear.

00:45:19.000 Decolonization is Haiti.

00:45:21.000 Okay, and Haiti literally decolonized.

00:45:24.000 If you guys know anything about the Haitian slave revolt during the French Revolution, it was actually a moral thing they did because the slave trade of sugarcane slave in capturing was some of the most unmoral slave practices.

00:45:37.000 Not that any slavery is moral, but the average lifespan of a sugarcane worker in Haiti during the 1770s, 1780s was four years, okay?

00:45:46.000 The French were just so brutal.

00:45:47.000 They were so awful.

00:45:48.000 And so Haiti went above and beyond.

00:45:50.000 They didn't just rebel.

00:45:51.000 They killed the French, killed the family and families.

00:45:53.000 They said, we never want any colonized forces in Haiti ever again.

00:45:58.000 Well, they kept the language.

00:46:00.000 That's about all they kept.

00:46:01.000 And look at what happened to Haiti now, right?

00:46:03.000 I mean, Haiti is a perfect project of what happens when you de-civilize or decolonize.

00:46:08.000 What's my message to Hispanics?

00:46:10.000 I mean, the question is, do you believe in the project of Western civilization and almost every Hispanic?

00:46:16.000 Yes, you know why?

00:46:17.000 They obviously believe in Western civilization because they left their home country to come to a Western country here because they believed in the promise.

00:46:25.000 So what is Western civilization?

00:46:27.000 Western civilization has a couple core promises and core premises, I should say, that are biblical in nature, that we take for granted, that third world, more primitive societies do not have as part of their culture.

00:46:40.000 One of which is delayed gratification.

00:46:42.000 Delayed gratification that I'm going to do something today that might not feel good, that will bear fruit a year or five years or 10 years from now, is a Western value.

00:46:53.000 That is not a tribal or primitive value of every culture around the world.

00:46:57.000 In fact, because they don't have refrigeration in a lot of these cultures, they say, if you have it, eat it.

00:47:03.000 If it's in front of you, take it, right?

00:47:05.000 There's no reason to have for tomorrow.

00:47:07.000 They don't have reason for currency.

00:47:09.000 They don't even have ways to make food last very long.

00:47:12.000 It's not just about food, it's about all sorts of things.

00:47:14.000 So, the idea of delayed gratification has been built into the Western code of conduct.

00:47:17.000 So, there was a really interesting point that was made during Floyd Apalooza when we destroyed our country under a lie from the pit of hell that we're systemically racist.

00:47:25.000 When the African American History Museum, the Smithsonian, came out with this pamphlet.

00:47:31.000 It's one of the most telling things ever, where they said, These are attributes of whiteness or Western culture that we should try to decolonize from.

00:47:39.000 Following, speaking grammatically correct, that math has only one answer, showing up on time, treating people politely, okay?

00:47:49.000 Saving money and investing for the future, believing that a child needs a mother and a father.

00:47:55.000 These they consider to be Western values.

00:47:58.000 And instead of fighting it, we should say they are Western values.

00:48:01.000 You're right.

00:48:02.000 They are.

00:48:03.000 In fact, the West is the best, okay?

00:48:06.000 The West is the greatest project in self-government in human history.

00:48:10.000 We have protected more people and their rights than any other civilization ever.

00:48:14.000 More people have been able to achieve a middle-class and upper-middle-class lifestyle than any other civilization ever.

00:48:20.000 We have been able to be more benevolent, more charitable than anyone else in the history of the planet.

00:48:25.000 And so, what are you trying to decolonize from?

00:48:27.000 The fact that people show up on time, that they're speaking correctly, that we have to follow the law.

00:48:33.000 So, the whole idea of decolonization is flawed from the beginning.

00:48:36.000 And I think that most Hispanics actually believe in the promise and the premise of Western civilization.

00:48:41.000 Thank you, Spanish.

00:48:41.000 Thank you.

00:48:42.000 That's a good answer.

00:48:45.000 I think Western civilization also believes in ending on time.

00:48:48.000 So, we're going to do two more questions.

00:48:50.000 That is true.

00:48:52.000 Addy, sir.

00:48:53.000 Kind of an interesting question.

00:48:55.000 So, I got to work here with Stan Height, actually, for his election here, and I wanted to get more involved into politics, just making a difference here.

00:49:05.000 As a young man, I'm 22.

00:49:06.000 I work a very physical job.

00:49:07.000 I'm born and raised here in Nevada.

00:49:09.000 Like you said, it's a small demographic, but muscular class.

00:49:13.000 Yes, exactly.

00:49:14.000 Unlike me.

00:49:15.000 But you'll get there, you know?

00:49:18.000 Eventually.

00:49:20.000 But my question to you is: so, I want to get more involved in politics.

00:49:24.000 I want to make an actual difference.

00:49:25.000 I don't just want to be on the sidelines anymore.

00:49:28.000 As a young man, as a young man here in Nevada, what can I do to get more involved?

00:49:35.000 First of all, give it up for him.

00:49:37.000 I love that he wants to get involved.

00:49:38.000 I love that.

00:49:43.000 Number one, would love to have you come to our turning point action table out there that is our political arm.

00:49:47.000 Number two, the first thing I would do, run for office, yes, but get involved as a precinct committee man in the Nevada GOP.

00:49:55.000 These meetings go on for a long time, but they need young energy.

00:49:59.000 They need spunk.

00:50:00.000 And I'm sure someone here tonight can help him get involved as a precinct committee man or on the state central committee.

00:50:06.000 They need your presence there.

00:50:07.000 And then from there, you'll see so many opportunities.

00:50:10.000 And then, you know, run for dog catcher or whatever, you know, mosquito abatement district something.

00:50:15.000 You know, run for school board.

00:50:16.000 No joke.

00:50:17.000 Go run for the school board where you went to high school.

00:50:20.000 Right?

00:50:23.000 And I don't know if you're in a trade or you received trade training, but if you did, then run for the technical school or technical college board that trained you.

00:50:31.000 All these things are great starting points.

00:50:33.000 And then finally, you know, try to consume information every day, you know, podcast news, radio.

00:50:38.000 All these things are important, but the best thing I could tell you is it's a marathon, not a sprint.

00:50:42.000 Be involved for the rest of your life.

00:50:44.000 There will be successes and there will be valleys.

00:50:46.000 There'll be moments that are so delicious that you think that it's like Jesus coming again when Hillary Clinton is crying on screen and Donald Trump is elected.

00:50:57.000 And then there are moments that are so maddening where Donald, you go to sleep at 2 a.m. and Donald Trump is up 100,000 votes and you wake up at 7 a.m. and Donald Trump is down 30,000 votes.

00:51:08.000 You got to weather those storms, right?

00:51:10.000 You got to stay involved regardless of all that.

00:51:12.000 So it's a marathon, not a sprint.

00:51:14.000 God bless you, man.

00:51:14.000 Thank you so much.

00:51:16.000 Final question.

00:51:17.000 Hey, hang on, one more thing before you walk away.

00:51:21.000 What he was saying about visiting the Turning Point Faith Action Table, learn the game before you run for office.

00:51:29.000 Learn how it works.

00:51:31.000 And come here.

00:51:33.000 American Christian caucus meetings here.

00:51:35.000 You'll learn the system.

00:51:36.000 Learn how to play the game, and then you'll be a winning politician.

00:51:41.000 I love that.

00:51:41.000 Amen?

00:51:42.000 All right.

00:51:43.000 And most important thing, give your life to Jesus and attend a church and be involved in church, preferably this church.

00:51:49.000 Yes, amen.

00:51:51.000 But that is the most important thing.

00:51:52.000 Final question, sir.

00:51:54.000 Hey, Charlie.

00:51:55.000 Yeah, I just wanted to say I think it's really important how well you guys have been mobilizing churches across this country to help save this country.

00:52:03.000 I'm Catholic, and with the structure of the church, it's really hard to mobilize the churches to get involved.

00:52:10.000 With your experience, what's been the best practices in mobilizing the churches in the right-wing movement?

00:52:16.000 Yeah, you're Catholic.

00:52:18.000 I wish your Pope was Catholic, truly.

00:52:21.000 Yeah, I really do.

00:52:23.000 And that's not an insult to you.

00:52:24.000 That's an insult to him.

00:52:26.000 I am, I get hate for this.

00:52:27.000 I am one of the pro-Catholic evangelicals in the country.

00:52:31.000 I have a soft spot for Catholics.

00:52:33.000 I always have.

00:52:33.000 My grandma is Catholic.

00:52:34.000 My wife is baptized Catholic.

00:52:36.000 I also think that we as evangelicals must be very fair and say Catholics have been more vocal on the life issue than most evangelicals have been, and Catholics deserve credit for that, okay?

00:52:48.000 We have big differences as well.

00:52:50.000 I'm not going to dwell on that.

00:52:51.000 But I will say, though, that what I've found to be successful, and Catholic churches can get involved, you have to find a specific priest or father that's willing to stand up, ideally in a diocese that is not going to stifle them and not is going to, you know, prevent.

00:53:06.000 I spoke for the first time ever in January at a Catholic church.

00:53:09.000 We had 2,000 people show up.

00:53:11.000 It was unbelievable.

00:53:13.000 You know, we talked about where we agreed.

00:53:15.000 We talked about where we disagreed, obviously, you know, a lot of stuff there.

00:53:18.000 But it was so amazing.

00:53:19.000 And we talked about the fight for life and against this trans stuff, how beautiful marriage is, you know.

00:53:25.000 And I found it to be this awesome experiment about how we can combine forces for why God put us here.

00:53:31.000 And so I'm so glad you're here.

00:53:33.000 And I think you should challenge your local father, you know, find a diocese, find a church that is speaking out about this stuff.

00:53:41.000 Because the Pope is flirting with upending, long-standing Catholic Church dogma at this point.

00:53:48.000 He is blessing same-sex partnerships.

00:53:50.000 He came out and was against anyone that didn't get the COVID vaccine.

00:53:54.000 And he said it was basically butchery.

00:53:55.000 You saw that thing the other day.

00:53:57.000 And so I miss the unity that we used to have when John Paul II, for example, was an anti-communist, pro-freedom pope.

00:54:06.000 And I hope we can get that sometime soon.

00:54:10.000 It's going to start with faithful Catholics like you, though, making noise, staying involved.

00:54:15.000 And so God bless you, man.

00:54:16.000 Thank you so much.

00:54:16.000 Thank you.

00:54:17.000 Absolutely.

00:54:19.000 All right.

00:54:20.000 Well, we are at our closing time.

00:54:21.000 And we want to do something before we close, though.

00:54:25.000 We want to pray over Charlie.

00:54:27.000 Charlie is in the battle.

00:54:28.000 And what I'd like to do is, Charlie, I'm going to have you stand over here.

00:54:32.000 And then I'm going to lay hands on him.

00:54:33.000 And if you would just direct your hands up here and let's pray over Charlie together.

00:54:40.000 Father, I thank you so much for Charlie and for the fight you've called him to, Lord.

00:54:45.000 And though he takes hits well, Lord, we know that those hits can hurt.

00:54:52.000 And Lord, we pray that you would protect him, that you would strengthen his resolve every time he does get hit, Lord, that you would make him stronger.

00:55:00.000 And Father, that you would give him wisdom beyond his years, Lord.

00:55:03.000 Help him to speak as one that is speaking as your ambassador, Lord.

00:55:10.000 Make him wise as a serpent, but gentle as a dove.

00:55:13.000 And Father, I pray that you would continue to give him that audience that you're giving him.

00:55:19.000 Open those doors for him for effectual ministry.

00:55:22.000 And Lord, I pray that you would protect his family in all this, Lord.

00:55:26.000 We know that there are people who hate him so much, Lord, and we know the devil hates him, Lord.

00:55:32.000 We're so glad the devil knows his name.

00:55:35.000 And yet, Lord, we know that short of your angels protecting him, he'd be in a world of hurt.

00:55:42.000 So, Lord, we pray.

00:55:43.000 Keep your hand of protection about him.

00:55:45.000 And, Lord, continue to use him in a mighty way.

00:55:49.000 And, Lord, I pray that you would continue to bless this relationship with our churches and with Charlie, Lord, and that you continue to strengthen these friendships.

00:55:58.000 And, Lord, that you would be glorified in these relationships as we take back this nation for Jesus Christ.

00:56:05.000 Lord, we love you, and we pray these things in Jesus' name.

00:56:08.000 Amen.

00:56:09.000 Amen.

00:56:10.000 Charlie, thank you so much.
