00:01:01.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:01:02.000 Here we go.
00:01:03.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:01:04.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:01:06.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:10.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:13.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:14.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:15.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:01:17.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:24.000 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.
00:01:32.000 That's why we are here.

00:02:00.000 Hi, everybody.
00:02:01.000 Great to be here.
00:02:02.000 First, this is a super important effort that we're all supporting here.
00:02:06.000 It has been a very difficult week in our family.
00:02:08.000 Praise God that things are trending better, but I made a point of being here, and I'll tell that story at a different time because it is so important that now more than ever we stand for life in this country when so many people are turning their back on this issue and they think it's too controversial, time to turn the page.
00:02:24.000 And I'm just going to kind of just do a flow of consciousness on this and then give a little bit of an update of what I'm seeing on campuses.
00:02:29.000 And then you want me to do some questions?
00:02:31.000 Is that right, Dan?
00:02:32.000 Okay.
00:02:33.000 So Roe versus Wade gets repealed.
00:02:35.000 And praise God, by the way.
00:02:36.000 I mean, we should applaud.
00:02:37.000 That's an incredible victory.
00:02:39.000 I just, and I feel like Jeb Bush, like, please clap.
00:02:44.000 Why do I have to tell you to clap?
00:02:46.000 But you know what's really interesting?
00:02:48.000 When I go to churches and I say Roe versus Wade is repealed, rarely do I get applause.
00:02:52.000 And I don't know what the reason is.
00:02:54.000 My working theory is, though, that we're so afraid of this issue that we're going to get audited or the FBI is going to show up because we celebrate life, that we're like programmed that we just nod in like gentle agreement, maybe.
00:03:06.000 Yes, Roe versus Wade.
00:03:07.000 Do you know that, again, we have three different surveys to show this?
00:03:11.000 Do you know that only 15% of American churches mentioned and celebrated the reversal of Roe versus Wade from the pulpit?
00:03:19.000 That 85% of American churches just said, nah, I'm not interested.
00:03:24.000 And we ask the question all the time, when is God going to intervene with a miracle?
00:03:27.000 That was a miracle, everybody.
00:03:29.000 I was told my entire, my 11 years of doing this, that that's never going to happen.
00:03:35.000 That don't even think about it.
00:03:37.000 Don't even whisper about it.
00:03:39.000 You will never go after the sacred cow of Roe versus Wade.
00:03:43.000 God works in a mysterious ways.
00:03:45.000 I think the only, the most surprising thing is we were not ready for this at all.
00:03:49.000 Like it happens and we're shocked and we're like, what do we do now?
00:03:53.000 And I mean, not only were they ready, they leaked the decision ahead of time, remember?
00:03:58.000 Illegally leaked it, and they said, oh, we can't find the leaker.
00:04:00.000 They can find an 82-year-old grandma patriot who took a selfie in the Rotunda Capitol within five hours if they can't find one of the four people that had access to this decision that leaked Roe versus Wade before, like, give me a break, Department of Justice.
00:04:15.000 No, no, it was a cover-up operation, and they did it because they wanted to try to get the forces ready.
00:04:20.000 They leaked the decision because they did it as a signal to the radical Marxist death cult.
00:04:26.000 And I'll explain that in a second because that might sound dramatic, but it's 100% what's happening in this country to try to get the activists ready.
00:04:32.000 Brett Kavanaugh almost got murdered in his home over this decision.
00:04:36.000 They almost killed Brett Kavanaugh because he wanted to send it back to the states.
00:04:40.000 And here's your thought crime for the night: the decision didn't go far enough.
00:04:44.000 It was completely indifferent on the topic of abortion.
00:04:47.000 It just said that we're not going to say the federal government whether it's a constitutional right or not.
00:04:52.000 And they say, oh, we'll let the states decide.
00:04:54.000 And if it wasn't for pre-born, I would be super just confused and depressed because there has never been, in my opinion, a more disjointed time in the pro-life movement.
00:05:05.000 There's like no direction, and people are angry at each other.
00:05:08.000 And in fact, I have, you know, we raise a lot of money at Turning Point USA, praise God.
00:05:13.000 I have, I'd say, a majority of our donors are saying, can you just like stop talking about the abortion thing?
00:05:18.000 Like, honestly, if we have two pro-abortion political parties in this country, I'm not interested in politics anymore.
00:05:23.000 I'm not.
00:05:24.000 If we have two pro-abortion political parties and we have one that stands for tax cuts and both stand for abortion, then I'm not going to be involved in that.
00:05:32.000 I'll go be a college football coach or something.
00:05:34.000 I mean, I'm not going to do that.
00:05:36.000 If you don't get life right, you're not going to get all the other issues correct, period.
00:05:40.000 It is the issue that impacts every other issue.
00:05:45.000 And we must be willing to lose friends or lose donors or whatever.
00:05:49.000 And in fact, this is a winning issue.
00:05:51.000 I know this is a hard thing for people to understand and comprehend.
00:05:54.000 You don't win on it if you retreat and apologize, but life is the central part of what keeps this republic together.
00:06:03.000 It is the contract that the founding fathers passed down through multiple generations: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
00:06:09.000 You don't have life, you don't have a republic.
00:06:12.000 And pre-born is leading the charge.
00:06:14.000 I mean, I had this amazing meeting with Dan and the team.
00:06:16.000 This organization is unlike any other in the pro-life space.
00:06:19.000 And I know a couple.
00:06:20.000 There's a lot of talkers out there in the pro-life space.
00:06:22.000 What do you do?
00:06:23.000 Oh, you know, we do.
00:06:24.000 And again, some of it's fine and all this.
00:06:26.000 This is real, proven, we help women get the care that they need away from the planned parenthood butchers of what they are.
00:06:35.000 And is there, that's one of the most noble things that we could support.
00:06:38.000 And I said this to Dan, and he chuckled.
00:06:39.000 I said, there's no reason why pre-born shouldn't be a $400 to $500 million organization in a couple years.
00:06:44.000 That's how big we need to think.
00:06:46.000 And pre-born's the first organization I've seen.
00:06:49.000 And again, I'm not trying to attack these other ones, but they think so small.
00:06:51.000 And honestly, God bless pregnancy crisis centers, right?
00:06:54.000 Or what do we call them now?
00:06:56.000 Pregnancy care centers.
00:06:57.000 I got yelled at once for calling it a crisis.
00:07:00.000 They went to this rebrand, I guess, or something.
00:07:02.000 Or maybe they're still called pregnancy crisis centers.
00:07:04.000 I don't know.
00:07:05.000 But God bless them.
00:07:06.000 But they're usually all volunteer labor and four or five people working together and working on a shoestring budget.
00:07:12.000 We need a machine to go up against the planned parenthood beast.
00:07:16.000 We need it.
00:07:18.000 We need to think bigger.
00:07:19.000 We need to get more aggressive, by the way, because this is where I can come in.
00:07:23.000 And I think I can lean this because you are the nicest, sweetest people ever.
00:07:27.000 I mean, it's amazing.
00:07:29.000 Like the joy in this room and the photo line, like there's going to be a sad person.
00:07:32.000 So I can be super helpful here because I'm very aggressive.
00:07:36.000 And I'm kind of known for that.
00:07:37.000 Like, we have to play offense against the pro-abortion forces in this country, okay?
00:07:43.000 We have to play offense with all things in truth and love.
00:07:46.000 So what does that look like?
00:07:46.000 We have to scale pre-born.
00:07:48.000 We have to think bigger.
00:07:48.000 We have to 10x the whole operation.
00:07:50.000 There should not be a single woman in this country that types into Google, you know, I'm pregnant and I would like to have an abortion.
00:07:57.000 They need to be able to hear the other side.
00:07:59.000 They need to be on the other side.
00:08:01.000 And pre-born does it in this compassionate, merciful, godly way that is just so inspiring and amazing.
00:08:08.000 And we must be very clear what we're up against.
00:08:10.000 If you ask any practicing Jew, they'll tell you that the two biggest things that they celebrate and they'll remember is creation, which they do every single Friday night to Saturday night, in Shabbat and the Exodus, creation and the Exodus.
00:08:22.000 And the Exodus, we teach this story incompletely.
00:08:25.000 We say, well, it's an exodus from slavery.
00:08:27.000 Well, the Egyptians, they were a death cult.
00:08:30.000 The pyramids were tombs.
00:08:32.000 The entire civilization was built around a fascination of death.
00:08:36.000 Judaism, which then led to Christ our Lord, was focused on the opposite.
00:08:42.000 You ask any Jew, hey, toast, they'll say, Lehaim, to life.
00:08:46.000 In the holy, they're not even allowed to touch dead bodies.
00:08:50.000 The rabbis or people that are in the administration of holy, they're so outside of the idea that death is a good thing.
00:08:57.000 We have re-entered the death cult in this country.
00:08:59.000 You think about how much we elevate death, whether it be the chopping off of parts and we call it transgender care, whether it be shouting our abortion.
00:09:08.000 And you see it so beautifully in John 10:10.
00:09:11.000 It is the divide of the entire scriptures.
00:09:13.000 Somebody put me on the spot once.
00:09:14.000 They said, Charlie, how do you summarize the Bible, you know, as quickly as possible?
00:09:18.000 I said, Boy, that's big.
00:09:19.000 Now, most people would say John 3:16, but think about it.
00:09:22.000 The enemy has come to lie, steal, cheat, and destroy.
00:09:25.000 I have come to give life and life more abundantly.
00:09:29.000 That's the whole ballgame, everybody.
00:09:31.000 It is everything.
00:09:32.000 It is the synopsis of it is why we are here, is to life.
00:09:38.000 And at times, I hear sometimes people they say, you know, I can't wait for the rapture to come.
00:09:43.000 It's coming next Thursday.
00:09:45.000 And again, I'm all into like those fun eschatological things, you know, pre-trib, post-trib.
00:09:51.000 I'm a pan-trib.
00:09:52.000 It's all going to pan out in the end.
00:09:53.000 And if I offended you, I'm sorry.
00:09:55.000 I'm going to be on the welcoming committee, not the planning committee, right?
00:09:58.000 But God so loved the world.
00:09:59.000 God loves this place.
00:10:01.000 And we have to have the joy of Jesus Christ to enjoy life and to protect it.
00:10:05.000 It's a gift from above and to celebrate it.
00:10:08.000 And at times, and I did not get this impression from a single person here tonight, but at times, other ministries, it feels as if they're like life neutral.
00:10:18.000 And they're like, yeah, this place is kind of like an inconvenience.
00:10:21.000 I don't know where that came from, but it's not anywhere in the Bible.
00:10:24.000 We're supposed to have joy through all the suffering.
00:10:26.000 Thank God that we're going through these tough times.
00:10:29.000 That the fact that we have breath given to us by this eternal God who loved us, like, thank you for choosing me to fight for the most important things.
00:10:36.000 It's a completely different type of attitude.
00:10:38.000 And that is the basis of exactly why we're all here tonight.
00:10:42.000 And I just love the first book of Exodus because it goes through, of course, then rose a king of Egypt who did not know Joseph.
00:10:48.000 I could riff on that for quite a while.
00:10:50.000 That summarizes millennials and Gen Z really well.
00:10:52.000 Then rose a generation of America who did not know George Washington.
00:10:56.000 Then rose a generation over this country who did not know Abraham Lincoln, right?
00:10:59.000 You get tyranny when you forget the past.
00:11:01.000 So you had a great pharaoh that knew Joseph, loved this guy, then rose a pharaoh who did not know Joseph, and you get tyranny and totalitarianism.
00:11:08.000 You get tyranny when you forget.
00:11:11.000 You get totalitarianism when you don't know what happened before.
00:11:14.000 But later on, I love this when it was as clear as day the Egyptian form of abortion.
00:11:22.000 The king says, the Jews are too many, they're scattered.
00:11:24.000 Get rid of them.
00:11:25.000 I command you to kill the firstborn.
00:11:28.000 I command you to kill the firstborn.
00:11:29.000 And so the midwives to the Hebrews, actually, we don't know if they're Hebrew or Egyptian.
00:11:33.000 That's a separate theological point for a different time.
00:11:35.000 But the midwives to the Hebrews heard the order, and what did they do?
00:11:38.000 They defied it.
00:11:40.000 Why?
00:11:41.000 Because they feared God.
00:11:43.000 I want you to think about that.
00:11:44.000 Now, that's a separate but important point that any church that ever tells you that you must submit unconditionally to government authority is not following the Bible, period.
00:11:53.000 That's a separate but an important point.
00:11:56.000 Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God.
00:11:59.000 I'm happy to get into the Romans 13 argument later if you guys are really wanting to geek out about it.
00:12:03.000 But here's what I love about this.
00:12:05.000 And God dealt favorably with the midwives and gave them families.
00:12:11.000 He blessed them for loving life.
00:12:13.000 He blessed them for saving babies.
00:12:16.000 That is as clear as day that the most important, literally the axis point of which the entire Old Testament is centered around creation and Exodus.
00:12:25.000 The entire Old Testament story right there started with the first documented act of civil disobedience and putting God above government rulers.
00:12:35.000 Now, how does that apply with this?
00:12:36.000 You must love life more than you love the comfort of doing what you're always told or what is easy.
00:12:42.000 And what is so amazing is these midwives, when they do this, this is why I think they were Egyptian.
00:12:46.000 I'm happy to get into that later if you're really interested in it.
00:12:50.000 They only get like scolded by Pharaoh.
00:12:52.000 I mean, if they were actually Hebrew midwives defying Pharaoh, he would have cut their heads off.
00:12:56.000 And he's like, what are you doing?
00:12:57.000 Why did you do this?
00:12:58.000 They increased the number.
00:12:59.000 And you remember what they said?
00:13:00.000 The Hebrews are, the women are so strong that they give birth to like the stupidest excuse ever.
00:13:07.000 They kind of told a white lie, and God still loved them.
00:13:11.000 Now, don't misinterpret what I'm saying.
00:13:12.000 I'm not saying that we should even lie a little bit about that.
00:13:14.000 What I am saying, though, is that they understood the stakes, that nothing, including going in front of what is God, literally, in the ancient world, Pharaoh was God.
00:13:23.000 They disobeyed the cult death god because they loved babies.
00:13:28.000 And God blessed them because of that.
00:13:30.000 And then we get Moses and he delivers them.
00:13:32.000 That is the cause set in motion.
00:13:34.000 As clear as day.
00:13:35.000 And then I have to be lectured by some of these pastors.
00:13:38.000 Can I say, I don't, I don't have, can I have like a reputation for naming out these pastors?
00:13:43.000 I won't, because you guys are so sweet, but you could guess who they are.
00:13:46.000 All right, I'll name one, Andy Stanley.
00:13:47.000 And so amongst other people, I said just one.
00:13:50.000 And he was like, oh, you know, the scriptures aren't clear about what abortion says, and I'm sure it's bad.
00:13:55.000 Are you kidding me?
00:13:56.000 Like, I knew you before you were in the womb.
00:13:59.000 And not just this story, but if you can't get life right and the miracle of that and be indifferent to that, that court of like fake, weird neutrality, don't call yourself a pastor anymore.
00:14:12.000 I'm not saying you're not a pastor.
00:14:13.000 Just don't use that title.
00:14:14.000 You can go be a TED Talk guy like on YouTube.
00:14:18.000 Like wear skinny jeans and like give motivational speeches and like write that like five steps to a better you and sell it on Amazon, which is basically what most churches have become now, which is a TED Talk and a rock concert with organized parking, a good coffee.
00:14:31.000 And I'm going to get the hook really quick here, by the way.
00:14:41.000 Because we're in the midst of a spiritual war, and I don't need like Oprah Winfrey's book list repurposed with hillsong music.
00:14:49.000 Like I don't need that, actually.
00:14:51.000 I need the equipping of the saints to go into the spiritual war and to fight for life against the darkest of all forces.
00:15:05.000 So I'll close with this and then we'll do some questions if Dan wants or I might just, you know, get cut.
00:15:11.000 Sorry about time.
00:15:12.000 Which is fine.
00:15:13.000 There are so many amazing pastors in this country right now.
00:15:16.000 And they're not a majority, but there is a remnant like I've never seen before.
00:15:20.000 Jack Hibbs is one that I heard from a lot of people.
00:15:21.000 He does a great job.
00:15:23.000 And I'm traveling the country meeting these pastors.
00:15:27.000 We have TPUSA Faith who are reaching out to these pastors.
00:15:29.000 Our mission statement is super simple.
00:15:31.000 We want to kick wokeism out of the American church as quickly as possible.
00:15:33.000 And we want to get the church to be bold, strong, and courageous like they once were and how Billy Graham had the church in the 1950s and early 1960s.
00:15:40.000 It's that simple.
00:15:41.000 The church can't get back to that.
00:15:43.000 And what I hear sometimes from pastors or elders, they say, boy, I don't want to be political.
00:15:49.000 It's like, whoever said anything about political, it's been biblical.
00:15:53.000 Do what the Bible says.
00:15:55.000 And if that gets deemed as political, then you have a much deeper problem on your elder board than what the scriptures say.
00:16:01.000 And they say, well, it's really not clear in the Bible whether or not we should care about politics.
00:16:05.000 Really?
00:16:06.000 Nehemiah, Esther, Jeremiah, Daniel, Joseph, Mordecai, just to name a few of people that are considered heroes in the scriptures.
00:16:14.000 Not to mention Jeremiah 29, 7, before Jeremiah 29, 11, which is the most quoted scriptures, which is demand or seek the welfare of the nation that you are in because your welfare is tied to your nation's welfare.
00:16:23.000 We're called to fast and pray for our leaders by name in one of the last things that Paul wrote to young Timothy.
00:16:29.000 We're supposed to care about the nation.
00:16:31.000 Daniel fasted and prayed for his nation, disobeyed the civil government authorities when they said you can't pray, did so publicly, landed up in the lion's den.
00:16:39.000 I'm not saying it's the most important thing.
00:16:40.000 The most important thing is winning souls for Jesus Christ.
00:16:43.000 The second most important thing is to make sure you can do the first thing.
00:16:47.000 And when they start calling churches non-essential and marijuana stores and drugstores and liquor stores and strip clubs are deemed essential and abortion factories are deemed essential and we as the church kind of take it, oh, well, I guess they took Easter from us and they took Pentecost from us and I have to wear three masks and take the ninth booster and maybe we'll be able to reopen.
00:17:04.000 We are nothing more than an attaché to the Leviathan, to the government.
00:17:08.000 The church must lead the culture, not follow the state to their aimless ambitions and goals.
00:17:20.000 And what I love about pre-born is the energy and the gusto.
00:17:25.000 And I know an entrepreneur that is playing to win when I see one, and that is Dan Steiner.
00:17:31.000 And he is thinking big.
00:17:33.000 He is thinking innovatively.
00:17:35.000 He has a great team around him.
00:17:37.000 And I want to do whatever I possibly can to help pre-born.
00:17:40.000 And I think we hit our target on our show, and we're going to hopefully hit even more.
00:17:44.000 And Glenn is leading the way and challenging the audience to not just vote pro-life, but give pro-life.
00:17:49.000 And you're a very, very big part of that because there is a temptation out there right now.
00:17:54.000 And I want to just tell you we must resist it.
00:17:57.000 There's this temptation that we cast this issue aside.
00:18:02.000 How does that honor God?
00:18:04.000 It doesn't.
00:18:06.000 How on earth can we say to honor God, to love God with all our heart, soul, strength, and mind?
00:18:11.000 It says in Deuteronomy 6, 5, which is what Jesus Christ said is one of the two verses, two commandments, which all the laws of the prophet hang upon.
00:18:19.000 Love your neighbor as yourself.
00:18:20.000 That's a pro-life position, by the way.
00:18:22.000 You were born.
00:18:23.000 Other people should be born.
00:18:24.000 Boom.
00:18:24.000 That's Leviticus 19.
00:18:26.000 And then Deuteronomy 6.5, love the Lord your God with our heart, soul, strength, and mind.
00:18:31.000 Those two together come at the ultimate argument of pro-life positions.
00:18:35.000 And so I'm honored to be fighting for this.
00:18:38.000 I do so on terrain largely.
00:18:40.000 That is not easy on college campuses.
00:18:42.000 I'm not going to mislead you.
00:18:44.000 It is not a winning position currently.
00:18:46.000 I don't care.
00:18:47.000 People say, but Charlie, wouldn't you be able to win over more young people if you compromised?
00:18:51.000 I said, what about the people I'm moving in our direction because I don't compromise?
00:18:55.000 And by the way, in the pursuit of truth, all things are noble.
00:18:59.000 All things are important.
00:19:00.000 As it says in Philippians, whatever is good, whatever is true, whatever is praiseworthy, think on these things.
00:19:06.000 And there's some really good things happening on campuses, and there's some not so good things.
00:19:10.000 The good things, young men are the most conservative that we have seen in the last 50 years, the most conservative in 50 years.
00:19:16.000 Young ladies are a complete opportunity.
00:19:23.000 Got a lot of challenges there.
00:19:25.000 Happy to talk about that in the Q ⁇ A.
00:19:27.000 But when I go to these campuses, yeah, my life would be easier if I just said, you know, I'm here tonight to talk to you about just tax cuts, why socialism is bad, but the abortion thing, live and let, live, and do whatever you want to do.
00:19:42.000 Why would I even do my job?
00:19:44.000 And my challenge to you is: don't cop out, and I know you are, in your personal life, on your church elder board, wherever you are, this must be a primary doctrine issue.
00:19:52.000 It must be a leading issue, a non-compromising issue, because this is the issue, in my personal opinion, here today, of which many other and almost all other issues flow from.
00:20:02.000 Okay, I'm 20 seconds early.
00:20:04.000 Is that okay, Dan?
00:20:04.000 Let's do some questions.
00:20:06.000 QA.
00:20:07.000 All right.
00:20:12.000 All right, Charlie.
00:20:14.000 How are we supposed to feel about, and what do you think we should do about the portion of our tax dollars that are used to support Planned Parenthood?
00:20:26.000 That's a great question.
00:20:28.000 We're not going to defund Planned Parenthood anytime soon.
00:20:31.000 I'm not exactly a fan of Speaker Johnson, if you listen to my show.
00:20:34.000 I'm sorry.
00:20:35.000 I think he's a coward.
00:20:37.000 And I mean, how many contuning resolutions do we have to put up with while our border is completely wide open and women are sex trafficked?
00:20:43.000 That's a pro-life issue, by the way.
00:20:44.000 The border is a pro-life issue.
00:20:46.000 And if you're not willing to shut down the government while we are being systematically invaded and women are being raped and fentanyls coming into our community, I'm not saying he's a bad person.
00:20:54.000 I'm just saying he's not Churchill.
00:20:55.000 He's not the leader that we need right now.
00:20:57.000 God bless him.
00:20:57.000 Okay?
00:20:58.000 I mean this non-sarcastically.
00:20:59.000 I'm praying for him.
00:21:00.000 So we're not, we're not, Planned Parenthood is not going to get cut federally anytime soon.
00:21:03.000 However, and Glenn might disagree with this later on, and I think that red states need to start funding organizations like Pre-Born directly so that we can start to scale our best organizations and to be able to compete against Planned Parenthood.
00:21:16.000 I don't say that lightly.
00:21:17.000 My kind of inner libertarian says, boy, do I really want to get taxpayer money?
00:21:21.000 But I'm like, but if we're funding every form of health care imaginable, why would we not also have, I mean, could you imagine an extra $10 million a year to pre-born from, you know, what would that mean from Oklahoma?
00:21:31.000 It's a rounding error in the budget of Oklahoma.
00:21:33.000 It's something to think about.
00:21:35.000 It's against, let's just say, traditional conservative budgetary practices, right?
00:21:40.000 But if Planned Parenthood and all these fake health care companies are getting billions of dollars of taxpayer dollars, then I think we should start to entertain ways that, you know, we can at least start to scale organizations like this.
00:21:51.000 Because the way Planned Parenthood works, they're a bunch of liars.
00:21:55.000 They say that none of the money goes to abortion.
00:21:56.000 That's technically, they pass an audit, but it's not true.
00:21:59.000 They just fund everything else.
00:22:00.000 They fund all their overhead.
00:22:01.000 They fund all their marketing.
00:22:03.000 They fund all their salaries.
00:22:05.000 And then they find some other pool of money to, quote unquote, pay for abortions because they charge women for abortions.
00:22:09.000 That's right.
00:22:10.000 Right?
00:22:10.000 So it's just that they, well, we'll pay for the building and we'll pay for the facilities and we'll pay for all the machinery.
00:22:16.000 And look, I mean, we should have an option.
00:22:18.000 We should, but we're getting the abortion is such a fanatic.
00:22:21.000 This is why I know we're in a spiritual war.
00:22:22.000 I don't think I know we're in a spiritual war.
00:22:24.000 The way the other side acts when you even talk about abortion reasonably, hey, they start like shaking violently.
00:22:30.000 I mean, I believe that this is a primary issue for Satan.
00:22:33.000 Of course it is.
00:22:34.000 He wants everyone dead.
00:22:35.000 He wants to capture everybody.
00:22:37.000 And it's easier on him if he could do it in the womb than out in the rest of the world.
00:22:42.000 Follow-up question to what we just talked about.
00:22:45.000 I don't know why we can't get rid of Planned Parenthood.
00:22:49.000 I really don't.
00:22:50.000 So a majority of Republican congressmen are not pro-life.
00:22:55.000 They say they are, and they LARP live-action role play as pro-lifers in Congress.
00:23:01.000 They're just not.
00:23:03.000 But I don't want to get too deep into the black pill territory.
00:23:06.000 If you know what black pilling is, it's just like an endless hole of depressing topics.
00:23:11.000 But actually, I am going to white pill you, which is the opposite.
00:23:13.000 It's really good.
00:23:14.000 I actually said this to Dan earlier.
00:23:16.000 It feels as if we're in this like communist-infested country, because we kind of are.
00:23:20.000 But the country is actually center-right.
00:23:22.000 On almost every major issue, the country is moving center-right.
00:23:25.000 Affirmative action on guns, on freedom of speech, on colorblindness to come into school, in meritocracy, on the grooming of our kids.
00:23:33.000 We control 32 attorneys general.
00:23:36.000 We control over 31 governors' mansions.
00:23:38.000 We control 30 state legislatures.
00:23:40.000 The people have never been more conservative in my 10, 11 years of doing this.
00:23:45.000 However, D.C. has never been more disconnected from their voters and so defiantly so.
00:23:51.000 And again, I don't want to get too into the weeds of politics, but I've been so disappointed in how this House Republicans have dealt with these major issues and budgets.
00:24:01.000 They're not going to cut Planned Parenthood.
00:24:03.000 They're not going to cut the FBI.
00:24:04.000 They're just going to keep on passing quote-unquote clean continuing resolutions when we borrow $2 trillion.
00:24:09.000 And if the border invasion is not reason enough to draw a line in the sand, they're never going to get to the more controversial stuff like defunding Planned Parenthood.
00:24:19.000 Yeah, part of it may be too is we haven't been loud enough about how what we believe Planned Parenthood is doing.
00:24:27.000 Yeah, and we have to, this is why I think we have to play offense and we have to expose.
00:24:33.000 And any way you can help David DeLyon in California, they're going after him big time.
00:24:37.000 I mean, Planned Parenthood offers, they offer themselves as if they're the sterling health care provider, when in reality, they are the moral equivalent of Auschwitz in America.
00:24:48.000 And I will say that publicly on my show, that they are the moral equivalent.
00:24:51.000 By the way, it's the same philosophical tradition.
00:24:54.000 I don't want to call it a tradition, okay?
00:24:55.000 Like Adolf Hitler was blown away by Margaret Sanger's writings and vice versa.
00:24:59.000 They were fans of each other.
00:25:00.000 Margaret Sanger wanted to control the black population of this country, and honestly, her legacy lives on.
00:25:05.000 And you want to connect two issues into one.
00:25:08.000 You know, the other side is, oh, we need all these immigrants.
00:25:10.000 First of all, we don't, but let's pretend that we need all these immigrants.
00:25:12.000 Well, maybe you wouldn't need all these people if you didn't kill 60 million people over the last 51 years.
00:25:17.000 Maybe you wouldn't need the Elon Omers of the world to come into Minneapolis and enrich us with your diversity or whatever they say that she does, right?
00:25:24.000 We're killing our own people at major and systemic rates.
00:25:27.000 And so, yeah, I think we have to be louder, and I think we have to play offense and expose Planned Parenthood for what it is.
00:25:32.000 Charlie, you mentioned earlier that you're seeing on college campuses that men are more conservative than they ever have been.
00:25:43.000 Could you talk a little to that as well as what you're seeing from a faith-based, the influence of faith-based college students?
00:25:50.000 Yeah, so young men are becoming far more conservative.
00:25:53.000 Some are coming back to, they're not necessarily connecting back to the faith.
00:25:56.000 American Christianity has become way too feminine.
00:25:59.000 I get in a lot of trouble for saying that.
00:26:01.000 I'm not saying that women do not have a role in American Christianity, but the whole attitude, the touchy feelings has turned men away from the American church for quite some time.
00:26:10.000 Happy to expound on that later if you guys are interested.
00:26:13.000 But young men are becoming more and more to the right.
00:26:16.000 Young ladies are going more and more to the left.
00:26:17.000 What is behind this?
00:26:18.000 I believe God has given young men, men in general, a primal instinct to see that the civilization is falling apart.
00:26:24.000 And it is.
00:26:25.000 Men are much better at macro topics than they are at micro topics.
00:26:28.000 This is why you'll see, if you go to a dinner party, the men are going to be talking about politics, sports, or the stock market, and the women are going to be talking about relationships, how their kids are doing, or conversations they had.
00:26:40.000 I'll prove it to you.
00:26:41.000 Harvard University locked a man in a room for 30 minutes, and they locked women in the room for 30 minutes, and they said, okay, what'd you think about the men, no big surprise, sports and sex.
00:26:49.000 And the young ladies, this is fascinating, by the way, it's amazing.
00:26:52.000 They said, what'd you think about?
00:26:54.000 They said, we were replaying conversations that we previously had.
00:26:57.000 For the record, no man in the history of the planet has replayed conversations that we previously had in private time.
00:27:04.000 It's just never happened.
00:27:07.000 And so men are far more, this is one of the reasons why men are better at chess than women.
00:27:13.000 That's not a sexist thing.
00:27:14.000 It's just true, which is why women become more nurses.
00:27:17.000 They become more elementary school.
00:27:19.000 They're much more focused on the micro.
00:27:20.000 So on the macro, men are seeing total and complete civilizational decay and decline.
00:27:25.000 And there's a fire alarm that's being set off in their head.
00:27:27.000 And they're finding voices like Andrew Huberman on the health side, Joe Rogan, to a lesser extent, Andrew Tate, but he's kind of a different category.
00:27:36.000 And They want to try to find a system of beliefs that makes sense, and the woke stuff is so against the laws of nature.
00:27:44.000 Young ladies are so focused on empathy, feelings, being nice, and not offending anybody that these two things just come to a head, right?
00:27:52.000 And I mean, I go to these campuses, I'll talk for hundreds of hours, and the young men are like locked in.
00:27:56.000 And I'll never forget, I was talking about how, you know, there's 15,000 people a day coming across the border, and they're trafficking children and all this whole thing.
00:28:03.000 And the men are like, this is terrible, this is wrong.
00:28:05.000 And, you know, the young ladies there, they said, but I feel really bad that they have to go back to their country if we deport them.
00:28:11.000 And I just think we should be more loving and have them come here.
00:28:14.000 I was like, that's a perfect example, right?
00:28:17.000 The young men are thinking about how it's going to overturn our schools and the macro implications.
00:28:22.000 And the young ladies are worried about an individual's feelings, which is fine.
00:28:25.000 It's just, you can't design public policy that way.
00:28:28.000 It's actually a really dangerous way to do that.
00:28:30.000 So, yeah, look, as far from the faith-based perspective, we haven't yet seen it turn into a revival that we want to see.
00:28:35.000 There's some early stages of that.
00:28:38.000 But I will say that the trans issue in particular is turning young men further and further right-wing.
00:28:45.000 And I hate to overracialize it, but young white men feel as if the entire world is rigged against them, and they're right.
00:28:51.000 I reject racial identitarian politics.
00:28:54.000 I don't play into like victim nonsense.
00:28:56.000 I hate it.
00:28:56.000 It's repulsive.
00:28:57.000 I don't want to live in that country.
00:28:59.000 But they're not wrong when they say that hiring quotas and diversity, equity, inclusion, and affirmative action that say that we're not going to hire people based on the color of their skin, that creates a fair amount of resentment.
00:29:09.000 Charlie, what's your opinion on our elections?
00:29:12.000 Is the integrity of the city?
00:29:13.000 I'm out of time.
00:29:14.000 I'm sorry.
00:29:16.000 Done.
00:29:18.000 Is the integrity of our election process still intact?
00:29:21.000 Yeah, that's, yeah, I hate.
00:29:27.000 Glenn and I had a really great conversation earlier, and I don't want to, it was like really great.
00:29:32.000 It almost could have been like out of a movie where like overlooking the ocean.
00:29:34.000 It was like kind of crazy.
00:29:36.000 I felt like I was, you know, something that all of a sudden we're going to think about for a long time.
00:29:39.000 Look, are our elections secure?
00:29:41.000 They're not secure enough.
00:29:43.000 But we have to work and act as if they're secure.
00:29:45.000 Here's my promise to everybody.
00:29:46.000 On election night, when ballots start getting counted, I'll be able to look into the camera and I'll say, I've done everything I possibly can with my agency given me by God to speak at every place I can, to run our ballot chasing operation, to continue growing turning point.
00:29:58.000 And I'll be able to rest easy that I did my part and duty is ours and the results are going to be guts.
00:30:03.000 Now, as far as the security of our elections, you want the honest answer?
00:30:06.000 Like, we have not done enough to secure our elections in Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia, the states we need to win.
00:30:11.000 I'm sorry.
00:30:11.000 With that being said, there is a potential, there's a potential, and the bad guys are talking like this openly, that because of mass migration and all this nonsense that they've done, that they have set the prerequisite for a massive political correction coming in November.
00:30:24.000 And it might be so overwhelming that even with all their shenanigans and tomfoolery and garbage, it might be overwhelming for them.
00:30:31.000 And if there's one prayer for you to give, you need to pray for Donald Trump by name and pray for his family.
00:30:36.000 You might not like Trump, but my goodness, he was the most pro-life president in our history.
00:30:40.000 He put the Supreme Court dresses on.
00:30:42.000 And I can tell you this: he is a, and Glenn will attest to this, and I'll close with this: he is a man that is relentlessly curious about faith.
00:30:51.000 I see God working at him, and I think God's hand is still on him.
00:30:55.000 I see it every single day, and he's very flawed.
00:30:58.000 So am I, we all are, but he has virtues too.
00:31:01.000 And I don't know, if I was facing 700 years in federal prison and dozens of lawsuits, and my business empire is about to be taken away from me, I think I would have folded.
00:31:09.000 And he leaned in in a way that almost defies all natural and human explanation.
00:31:14.000 So I look at him as a vessel, as a vessel for what we care about, which is life, which is the restoration of 1776 and the Constitution.
00:31:23.000 And he does it in an awfully unconventional way.
00:31:25.000 And you can laugh at that.
00:31:28.000 But I think he's a King Cyrus-type figure.
00:31:31.000 He's a King Cyrus-type figure who was used by God for a specific purpose for something much bigger than him.
00:31:37.000 So, with that, God bless you guys and give generously to Pre-Born.
00:31:41.000 Thank you so much.
