00:01:37.000 Well, Charlie, welcome again, but I kind of assume a little bit that this might be SoCal home for you, huh?

00:01:44.000 Oh, first of all, I love being here, and it has been quite a journey these last couple of years.

00:01:49.000 Last time I was in California, I was on your governor's podcast.

00:01:54.000 Oh, man.

00:01:55.000 How many of you saw...

00:01:57.000 Oh, look at that.

00:01:59.000 That's a lot of ratings for him.

00:02:02.000 Yes, yes.

00:02:04.000 But wait, can I do something?

00:02:06.000 Charlie. Jack, you're doing it all.

00:02:11.000 Oh, that's it.

00:02:13.000 And then...

00:02:14.000 What do you think those meant?

00:02:17.000 Was it like Steel Home or Slide?

00:02:19.000 Did you guys...

00:02:20.000 If you saw it, do you know what we're talking about?

00:02:23.000 Quite amazing.

00:02:24.000 If you did not see that podcast, you've got to see it.

00:02:26.000 But don't watch it at Gavin Newsom's site.

00:02:29.000 Charlie Kirkshow podcast page.

00:02:31.000 Don't give him the downloads.

00:02:33.000 There you go.

00:02:34.000 There you go.

00:02:35.000 Okay, let's jump right into this.

00:02:37.000 The scriptures tell us in 1 Peter that we are to be ready to always give an answer to those who ask of us a reason for the hope that we have, and we're to respond to them with respect and with courtesy.

00:02:53.000 And God has anointed you to not only be a keen intellect, but to be a...

00:03:03.000 A warrior of faith that, Charlie, we've not seen in the American landscape in a long time.

00:03:10.000 And this is a very special thing that God has given you.

00:03:13.000 And so what I'd like to ask you to get things going first is to explain to us what you're seeing and maybe why you're seeing.

00:03:25.000 Why are you seeing and what are you seeing?

00:03:27.000 On the university campuses where you show up and tens of thousands of people gather.

00:03:33.000 What is going on?

00:03:35.000 It's remarkable.

00:03:37.000 And first of all, glory be to God.

00:03:39.000 Truly. First and foremost.

00:03:43.000 Jack, you've been a phenomenal teacher for me and mentor for me.

00:03:46.000 Isn't Jack the best?

00:03:47.000 He's just unbelievable.

00:03:49.000 to give me that confidence and that clarity to go into the lion's den and go to college campuses all across the country.

00:03:58.000 Let's kind of go back and talk about what we saw during the election.

00:04:01.000 And let's go even further back than that.

00:04:03.000 We did a happening now, everybody.

00:04:05.000 Some of you might have been there on January 21st, 2021.

00:04:09.000 That was the day after Biden got installed as president of the United States.

00:04:12.000 And we're going to go back to that later in the discussion.

00:04:15.000 So I think there's a really beautiful lesson there.

00:04:17.000 But after we were displaced from power, at Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action, we thought, and our hypothesis was, what if we...

00:04:38.000 It's quite a statement, quite an ambitious plan.

00:04:40.000 And we went about doing it.

00:04:42.000 And for years, people thought that we were wasting our time, that it was not a good use of our energy or resources.

00:04:48.000 And as you know, I visited hundreds of college campuses.

00:04:52.000 Turning Point USA was doing the difficult work every single day, starting high school chapters, starting college chapters.

00:04:58.000 I think we have some of our Turning Point leaders here tonight.

00:05:01.000 And as we continue to do that work, we started to realize a trend in late 2022.

00:05:07.000 And early 2023, we saw the crowds get a little bit bigger, and we saw an attitude especially of young men that wanted nothing to do with the Democrat Party and were increasingly open towards President Trump, conservatism, Republican Party, and yes, even Christianity.

00:05:27.000 And so we said, wait a second, the conventional wisdom when you run a political campaign...

00:05:33.000 Is you always just run to the middle.

00:05:35.000 You run to the moderates and you try to water down your positions because you need to go win over swing voters.

00:05:41.000 That can work.

00:05:43.000 Or you can create more voters and find more voters that are already people that are in your criteria because one out of three Americans don't vote at all.

00:05:52.000 And what if we find those people and register in the vote and bring them into our ecosystem and bring them into our ranks?

00:05:57.000 And so we went about the most ambitious youth outreach program in the history of conservative politics, in the history of Republican politics.

00:06:05.000 And I personally visited well over 100 campuses over a course of a year.

00:06:10.000 Many of you saw these videos that I would do online where I would try to enlighten the next generation about certain topics, ideas, whatever was on their mind.

00:06:20.000 And these videos...

00:06:21.000 Had over 2.5 billion views over nine months on TikTok, on Instagram, on YouTube.

00:06:27.000 Praise the Lord.

00:06:29.000 And all of a sudden, these crowds went from a couple hundred people to 3,000 people to 4,000.

00:06:35.000 And we're talking in the middle of the day on a college campus, in some of the most liberal campuses across the country.

00:06:41.000 4,000, 5,000, 6,000 people.

00:06:44.000 And the media was completely ignoring it.

00:06:46.000 And I was like, that's fine.

00:06:47.000 If you don't want to adjust, and if you guys want to...

00:06:50.000 Just ignore the greatest, most substantial, unexpected generational realignment happening in the history of American politics.

00:06:58.000 Go ahead and ignore it.

00:06:59.000 And the results and the data started to come in.

00:07:02.000 And can we all just enjoy for a second that beautiful evening in November when President Trump won back the White House?

00:07:08.000 It was just...

00:07:14.000 Thank you.

00:07:14.000 The Stacey brothers said it to me earlier.

00:07:17.000 Great family.

00:07:18.000 They said the air just tasted better the next morning.

00:07:21.000 Right? Your food had taste again.

00:07:25.000 The music made sense on the radio.

00:07:29.000 Everything just tasted sweeter.

00:07:31.000 What's amazing about what you just said, if people don't understand this, the scripture says in Proverbs 29 that when the wicked are in power, the people groan.

00:07:40.000 It's a blanket of...

00:07:42.000 It's a blanket of depression.

00:07:43.000 It's a blanket of hopelessness.

00:07:45.000 But that verse goes on to say, but when the righteous are in power, people rejoice.

00:07:49.000 And here's the thing.

00:07:50.000 People would say, oh my goodness, wait a minute.

00:07:52.000 How can that possibly be applied to politics?

00:07:56.000 Don't worry about it.

00:07:57.000 We're not saying that Donald Trump is righteous or any other leader is righteous in the sense that you might be thinking.

00:08:04.000 The word simply means that those who do the right thing, the response is people.

00:08:10.000 Are lighthearted.

00:08:12.000 The weight is lifted from them.

00:08:14.000 And you're watching right now, or even today, we saw in the news where Trump is moving now to defund Planned Parenthood.

00:08:24.000 Babies will be saved.

00:08:27.000 Major news.

00:08:29.000 And so, just to summarize it, we saw the results come in, and all of a sudden the exit poll showed that younger voters moved substantially to the right.

00:08:39.000 So much so, That all Kamala Harris had to do was perform the same with younger voters as Joe Biden did in 2020. 0.75

00:08:48.000 And I'm going to say some things here that are very hopeful, but also should give some people in this audience a little bit of a dose of generational humility.

00:08:57.000 Do you know that your 20-year-old grandson is far more conservative than your average 75-year-old?

00:09:05.000 It's far more.

00:09:06.000 And it's not even close.

00:09:08.000 A young man is like 10 points more conservative than your average 75-year-old white voter.

00:09:15.000 There's many reasons for this.

00:09:16.000 And by the way, some people get offended.

00:09:18.000 Some baby boomers say, no, that's not true.

00:09:20.000 You guys should be rejoicing in the fact that the next generation is even more conservative than the older generation.

00:09:26.000 So don't get too defensive.

00:09:28.000 But let's talk about why this is, and then I'm going to go into some numbers.

00:09:31.000 The why is critical.

00:09:33.000 These young people here in front of you...

00:09:35.000 Are one of the most abused generations, if not the most abused generation history.

00:09:40.000 We masked them unnecessarily, told them to get an experimental mRNA shot that they did not need.

00:09:46.000 We canceled prom and graduation, locked them into their homes away from all of their peers.

00:09:51.000 We printed trillions of dollars we did not need and flooded the housing market with it, nearly doubling housing prices.

00:09:58.000 We told them to go into debt to study things that don't matter, to find jobs that don't exist, to only flood them further into our cities, filled with homelessness, vagrancy, arson, crime, all to say, hey, it's okay that you will not...

00:10:10.000 own anything.

00:10:10.000 You will rent for the rest of your life and you will be happy doing substances, staying drunk, ordering DoorDash, and keep on voting for the Democrat party because that's all there is in life.

00:10:20.000 And don't get married.

00:10:22.000 Just become some sort of corporate hack for a faceless company.

00:10:26.000 I approve this message.

00:10:35.000 And... Let me go a step further.

00:10:40.000 This generation here is the first generation in history that is not keeping on pace with their parents.

00:10:47.000 Not even the Great Depression generation, the greatest generation, can say that. 0.79

00:10:52.000 Every number shows that this generation is more suicidal, they're more drug addicted, they're more anxious, they're more addicted to pharmacological substances.

00:11:00.000 They're more addicted to screens.

00:11:02.000 They have less friends, less likely to date, less likely to have kids.

00:11:05.000 We have a childless problem in the West where we are having a population collapse.

00:11:10.000 Meanwhile, baby boomers, many of you have seen your wealth actually go up since COVID. 0.77

00:11:16.000 Your houses are worth more.

00:11:17.000 Your 401k is worth more.

00:11:19.000 You might say, well, inflation is crushing me.

00:11:22.000 It might be hurting you if you're 60 or 70, but if you own a home, you have something that most young people will never have.

00:11:28.000 If you own stocks, And you're not $50,000, $60,000, $70,000 in debt.

00:11:33.000 You have something that the next generation is not going to have.

00:11:37.000 It is a breakdown of the social compact.

00:11:39.000 And so what President Trump embodied was a full-throated cultural rebellion against all the institutions of power that robbed their future.

00:11:51.000 That robbed their future and lied to them in every corner.

00:11:56.000 What we were able to do alongside the Trump campaign at Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action is make the case that the next generation deserves the same country that your parents had.

00:12:07.000 And that these institutions that Kamala Harris largely embodied are not worthy of your trust.

00:12:14.000 That it is not worthy of your trust the very same people that want to go spend $300 billion on a war in Ukraine while we're being invaded on our southern border should not be taken seriously.

00:12:25.000 When they want to continue to ask for more of our tax money, they should not be taken seriously.

00:12:29.000 And so, politically, we are living through this realignment where the younger you are, especially a younger male, the more conservative you are.

00:12:39.000 And the Democrat Party has said this, Ezra Klein and David Shore, two very sophisticated lefties, this is potentially, everybody, an extinction event for the Democrat Party.

00:12:50.000 This could turn, if this continues.

00:12:53.000 This could turn California into a red state, and I'm not saying that.

00:12:58.000 I'm not kidding.

00:13:03.000 If you think about it, we have done pretty well in elections the last 20 or 30 years under the idea that the younger you are, the more liberal you are, and the older you are, the more conservative you are.

00:13:16.000 Imagine if that all of a sudden gets inverted.

00:13:19.000 That if they start pretty conservative when they're 19, How conservative will they be when they're 30 when they own a home and they have kids?

00:13:28.000 They will become even more conservative and resisting of whatever left-wing lie or promise of the Democrat Party.

00:13:36.000 And so to play this out even further, when we now are visiting these college campuses, we are noticing that especially young men are gravitating towards this broader cultural realignment.

00:13:46.000 But it is, at its core, spiritual.

00:13:49.000 And that is why I love what Jack talks about, because this is not just about politics.

00:13:54.000 Politics is a means to an end so that we can live in a free society for liberty, because liberty is not man's idea, it is God's idea.

00:14:02.000 And God wants us to live free.

00:14:05.000 John 10.10, where there is the Spirit of the Lord, there is liberty.

00:14:09.000 We see right now that the Democrat Party is the embodiment of every ancient pagan idea.

00:14:16.000 That the Bible was written to refute, and that we challenge all throughout the scriptures.

00:14:23.000 Christianity believes in all of the ideas that we are espousing on these college campuses.

00:14:28.000 And so my message right now is that I think we are on the precipice of a national revival, led primarily by young people.

00:14:36.000 And you know what happened in Costa Mesa, as you mentioned.

00:14:38.000 It is bottom-up.

00:14:39.000 It is the kids that lead these national revivals.

00:14:42.000 But here is my fear.

00:14:45.000 My fear is that most of the American church is completely uninterested in this moment.

00:14:51.000 And let me build this out further, if that's okay, Jack.

00:14:54.000 Why is it that young men are leading the charge? 0.99

00:14:57.000 By the way, we should be so pleased that it's young men, because young men will lead the culture and the women will follow.

00:15:02.000 It is a great sign.

00:15:04.000 There are many reasons for this.

00:15:07.000 But the primary one is that God made men and women different.

00:15:10.000 We know that.

00:15:11.000 And in the state of nature, young men...

00:15:14.000 Don't like taking orders from women. 1.00

00:15:17.000 Now, you can laugh about that, but every single mom knows this is a serious problem. 1.00

00:15:22.000 No, it is.

00:15:23.000 And by the way, it's a laughing matter, but single moms, God bless them, you're modern-day heroes. 1.00

00:15:28.000 You deserve better than a husband that abandoned you or a partner that abandoned you.

00:15:32.000 But when you have a teenage son, it is very hard to discipline a 17-year-old boy if you just have a mom in the house. 0.91

00:15:40.000 That's why dads need to come in to restore order and structure and discipline.

00:15:46.000 Because moms struggle with that. 1.00

00:15:50.000 Okay. Well, politics is the administration of order and discipline.

00:15:55.000 It is rules for life.

00:15:57.000 So, the Democrat Party has become toxically feminine. 0.97

00:16:00.000 Now, understand my heart when I say this.

00:16:02.000 That I'm not saying that all women are necessarily toxic.

00:16:06.000 I'm saying, though, Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris... 1.00

00:16:11.000 Not exactly great embodiments of biblical femininity, right?

00:16:16.000 More like Jezebel than Esther.

00:16:19.000 Cool? Got it.

00:16:21.000 So, the Democrat Party, of the last three nominees, two of the three of them were toxically feminine, and one was comatose, right? 0.64

00:16:28.000 So not exactly a sign of strength.

00:16:33.000 Understand that what is so exciting about our political moment, everybody, Is that we are so race-obsessed over the last five years.

00:16:41.000 It drives me nuts.

00:16:42.000 I'm sick and tired of looking at black and white.

00:16:45.000 That doesn't mean anything to God.

00:16:46.000 But do you know a distinction that God actually does care about?

00:16:49.000 Male-female distinctions.

00:16:50.000 Actually, God does care about it.

00:16:52.000 Because he designed that.

00:16:53.000 And our politics are increasingly gravitating towards male-female distinctions.

00:16:58.000 A lot less than white-black distinctions.

00:17:01.000 This is why you are seeing the muscular class of young Hispanics and young blacks come more to the Republican Party.

00:17:09.000 Because they don't want to take orders from a political party that is screeching at them, filled with unhappy women. 1.00

00:17:18.000 It's not a popular agenda.

00:17:22.000 And these are individuals that live in the Democrat Party primarily to try and tell you...

00:17:33.000 What to do and how to do it.

00:17:35.000 Even worse than that, they will go to young men and say that you are the problem for merely existing.

00:17:41.000 That you are a toxic man.

00:17:43.000 That you can't use those pronouns.

00:17:46.000 That you have to stop being so politically correct.

00:17:50.000 That you have to apologize for your existence.

00:17:52.000 That it's toxic masculinity that we have all these problems.

00:17:55.000 And then what you end up having is a 20-year-old.

00:17:58.000 He decided not to go to college, so he's not in debt, he's not being indoctrinated.

00:18:02.000 But he's driving Amazon trucks to just make ends meet.

00:18:05.000 He's the one that made sure you got all of your delivery packages, by the way, during COVID.

00:18:10.000 He's the one that showers before work and showers after work.

00:18:14.000 And everyone is talking about, in the Democrat Party, about climate change and threat to democracy and, you know, the boss babe culture. 0.77

00:18:22.000 By the way, I educated Jack on what a boss babe was today, just so you know. 0.54

00:18:25.000 He had no idea, right?

00:18:27.000 And this 20-year-old Amazon truck driver Scrolls through his TikTok feed and sees a Matt Walsh video or a Charlie Kirk video and is talking about how men need to be men and restore order to society.

00:18:40.000 And it doesn't matter that that guy's last name is Sanchez or that he's black driving the truck. 0.85

00:18:46.000 He says, you know what?

00:18:47.000 The Democrat Party doesn't represent me and I stand with the person that the toxically feminists hate the most. 1.00

00:18:54.000 Donald Trump.

00:18:55.000 Because he's the alpha male that stands in the way of all of their plans.

00:19:03.000 So it's amazing to, as Charlie was speaking, when you look back, somebody might say, well, wow, this is amazing, or this is terrible.

00:19:12.000 How can this be going on?

00:19:14.000 Well, let me give you a little bit of a quick American history lesson.

00:19:18.000 If you would take tonight and go back 270 years ago, this would be normal.

00:19:25.000 If you've ever read or taken the time to look at the sermons of the colonial pastors, And preachers of that era.

00:19:34.000 This is exactly what they talked about when it came to the issues of everyday life and the things that the culture was having to battle.

00:19:43.000 And so the scriptures, as I read a moment ago, speaks truth to all issues.

00:19:49.000 When somebody says, and we hear it all the time, that Christians shouldn't get involved in politics.

00:19:55.000 Well, notice who's saying that.

00:19:58.000 The people that are saying that are people who don't want any competition regarding their ideas.

00:20:03.000 Someone's idea is going to win the day.

00:20:06.000 And it most often happens when someone shows up to the fight, so to speak, right?

00:20:10.000 If you don't engage, someone will.

00:20:13.000 And there is no real void, because voids are always filled.

00:20:17.000 So the woke ideology would say, you guys need to keep your mouth shut, sit down, don't vote, and do your little Christian thing on Sunday. 0.56

00:20:26.000 Just stay out of the way.

00:20:27.000 After all, it is politics, you know.

00:20:30.000 And there's a wall of separation there.

00:20:32.000 So we got it from here.

00:20:34.000 Isn't it amazing?

00:20:35.000 We all pay the same taxes.

00:20:36.000 The Democrat, the Republican pays the taxes.

00:20:39.000 But the Democrat says they're the only ones that are qualified to have a voice to the issue.

00:20:45.000 Think about that.

00:20:45.000 Well, what about Christians?

00:20:46.000 Do Christians pay taxes? 1.00

00:20:48.000 I bet you Christians pay taxes more than most people because they're more honest about it.

00:20:54.000 Don't we have a voice?

00:20:55.000 Our founding fathers said, yes, you do.

00:20:58.000 And so it's always volatile, and it's designed this way for every culture in every moment, just like tonight, to go and hit the issues face on, head on, because this is exactly what's happened in our culture today, where our kids are no longer learning.

00:21:18.000 The things that they need or they should be learning in universities and in high schools.

00:21:22.000 Instead, they're being indoctrinated with political ideologies that you're paying the professor, instead of teaching your kid medicine, they're telling your kid about Trump or about this or about the other or conservatives.

00:21:39.000 And people, if we don't speak up, this is going to continue.

00:21:43.000 Thank God that people are speaking up.

00:21:49.000 The battle between good and evil seems to be escalating.

00:21:52.000 It is easy to blame politicians, government, or poor leadership, but behind all of that is a spiritual battle.

00:21:59.000 Pastor Alan Jackson's new book, Angels, Demons, and You, talk about the reality of this battle and the spiritual realm that exists around us.

00:22:09.000 It has a real impact on us every day.

00:22:11.000 As you read, you will discover that angels and demons are not imaginary.

00:22:16.000 They actually exist.

00:22:17.000 You can find them playing a variety of roles throughout the Bible, and they're still influencing the world today.

00:22:22.000 We don't need to be afraid, but we do need to be aware and prepared.

00:22:26.000 Angels, Demons, and You provides valuable insight, practical tools, and biblical truth to help you recognize the spiritual battle around us and become a difference maker in our generation.

00:22:55.000 Young people have a voice now, and this voice I'd love for you to tell us the, I don't know how else to say it, the TikTok generation. 0.63

00:23:07.000 How the vote, the recent vote was affected so much by this?

00:23:11.000 Yeah, and so this is a great example of something that the enemy was going to use for evil and we used for good.

00:23:17.000 I was never a fan of TikTok at all.

00:23:20.000 I actually wanted to see it banned.

00:23:22.000 But I also saw its incredible power.

00:23:25.000 And so Congress passed a bill, banned it.

00:23:28.000 I sent out a tweet saying, hey, TikTok, you guys are really for free speech.

00:23:32.000 Can you let me speak?

00:23:33.000 Because you guys have banned me 25 times in the last week.

00:23:36.000 And they reached out.

00:23:38.000 They were really pleasant.

00:23:39.000 Yep, we're all for free speech.

00:23:40.000 We're going to give you a fair hearing.

00:23:42.000 And boy, did we take advantage of that.

00:23:44.000 And here's the key, everybody.

00:23:46.000 And the Democrat Party unintentionally misread how people are consuming information.

00:23:52.000 Now understand, what is the other difference between a 20-year-old man who ends up being more conservative than his 75-year-old grandfather?

00:23:59.000 Well, the 75-year-old grandfather is probably getting news from either the newspaper.

00:24:03.000 Or from ABC or NBC or cable news or the white noise machine, which is, I call cable news.

00:24:10.000 It's just kind of drone zone.

00:24:11.000 Whereas his 20-year-old grandson is getting news from Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube.

00:24:18.000 Now, which one will actually lead you to be more conservative?

00:24:22.000 Well, it used to be that it would be if you were watching cable news, you'd get more conservative.

00:24:26.000 No, no, no.

00:24:27.000 Now, because when we had our back against the wall...

00:24:31.000 When Joe Biden became president and it looked as if our country was dead and over, a new generation of truth-tellers rose up, we built platforms, we got creative, we built an audience, we dug in, we understood what people wanted, and we pursued truth no matter the cost.

00:24:49.000 And not all of us were Christians, but some were like Joe Rogan.

00:24:53.000 Joe Rogan was big, but remember during COVID, he stood up for ivermectin and CNN changed the color of his skin and slandered him.

00:25:00.000 A radicalizing event for Joe Rogan.

00:25:03.000 People like Russell Brand.

00:25:04.000 People like Matt Walsh.

00:25:06.000 People like Theo Vaughn.

00:25:07.000 You might not know who these individuals are.

00:25:09.000 If you don't, that's okay.

00:25:11.000 But let me tell you, just the ones I just mentioned have a much greater combined daily audience than what CNN will get in an entire year.

00:25:20.000 And if you remove how people watch CNN in airports, it would be what CNN has for the last 20 years, right?

00:25:27.000 And so...

00:25:28.000 The way people are consuming information is completely different.

00:25:32.000 And I also tell this for churches, and Jack is on the cutting edge of this with real life and with what he's doing with Jack Kipp's podcast, is that it's not enough just to buy radio time for your ministry anymore to reach the next generation.

00:25:44.000 It's in 20 or 30 second soundbites.

00:25:47.000 They're receiving it on social media.

00:25:48.000 So this election, the Democrat Party, they took for granted black voters, Hispanics, and younger voters.

00:25:57.000 They said, no way will these groups ever leave us.

00:26:01.000 No way will they ever walk away from the hold that we have on them.

00:26:05.000 Well, you know what ended up happening?

00:26:06.000 Younger voters moved 13 points in President Trump's direction.

00:26:11.000 13 points, the greatest move of any generation.

00:26:14.000 Where baby boomers, they actually moved two points in Kamala Harris' direction. 1.00

00:26:20.000 Baby boomers are becoming more democratic.

00:26:23.000 Now, let me tell you another reason as to why this is.

00:26:27.000 And I see this all the time.

00:26:30.000 An average 75 or 80-year-old voter, not everyone in this audience, this is general, okay, are high trust of institutions.

00:26:39.000 They don't love the talk of, hey...

00:26:42.000 Our FBI, our CIA, our CDC, our FDA, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, Johnson& Johnson, Eli Linney, big food, big soda.

00:26:51.000 They're all poisoning us, lying to us, and they're all working together to make us sicker, less happy, and more depressed.

00:26:57.000 That message for a 75-year-old voter, they say, no, no, hold on, no, no, no, no, no.

00:27:01.000 They say, wait, they can't take it.

00:27:04.000 And by the way, I'm offending when I'm saying this.

00:27:06.000 I don't mean to offend you.

00:27:07.000 It's just the truth.

00:27:07.000 The data shows this, okay?

00:27:09.000 They will say, no, no, no, maybe we need some reform, but...

00:27:12.000 Come on, you're trying to tell me that we're poisoning our kids.

00:27:14.000 We're a great country.

00:27:15.000 We'd never do that.

00:27:17.000 Go take the vaccine.

00:27:19.000 No, no, you laugh, but the older you are, still, you think that there's nothing wrong with the COVID shot, okay?

00:27:25.000 The older you are.

00:27:26.000 So 75 +, over 80% of people over 75 think there's nothing wrong with this COVID shot, okay?

00:27:32.000 If you go down to, like, 40-year-olds, like, 70% think there's something wrong with the COVID shot.

00:27:36.000 You go down to like 25-year-olds, like 80% are like, this thing is actively giving us myocarditis and pericarditis and kids are dropping dead and we got blood clots.

00:27:45.000 However, the older you are, you almost create a veil.

00:27:49.000 I don't want to say of ignorance.

00:27:51.000 It sounds mean, but it really is a veil of blindness where it's like they grew up in a country, baby boomers, that was a great country.

00:28:02.000 And they almost look at our institutions as an extension of the greatness that they were raised in.

00:28:08.000 And when you start listing off, our military is broken and woke, and we can't land airplanes anymore, and we have DEI throughout air traffic control, and our border is wide open.

00:28:19.000 It's almost like institutional sensory overload.

00:28:23.000 And then they turn on CNN because, like, okay, it makes me feel better.

00:28:25.000 Because they actually, maybe the world is not falling apart, and it's okay.

00:28:29.000 Whereas a 20-year-old says, no, it's even worse than that.

00:28:33.000 I can't own anything, I'm in debt, and we need a revolution.

00:28:38.000 Older voters are actually very reluctant to revolutionary talk.

00:28:43.000 Charlie, one thing, and I think you mentioned it without saying this word.

00:28:47.000 The older you get, now I believe this is without Jesus.

00:28:52.000 This should not be happening to an older person if you have Jesus.

00:28:56.000 And that is fear.

00:28:57.000 When you get older, the book of Proverbs warns us that we, as we get older, we tremble and we're fearful, the Proverbs tell us about, and Ecclesiastes as well, that we hear the cricket at night, and we're wondering what that was.

00:29:15.000 When you get older, you don't want any changes.

00:29:17.000 Keep it the same.

00:29:22.000 Think about what Charlie just said.

00:29:23.000 It's almost like, wait a minute, you're telling me that I paid into these institutions for all of these decades of my life, and you're telling me they're broken?

00:29:31.000 That scares me, and I can't handle that.

00:29:34.000 Look, you guys, we never, whatever you think about Donald Trump, you think about Donald Trump, but there's one thing we all have to agree on.

00:29:40.000 We didn't even know that there was a swamp.

00:29:43.000 We didn't even know that there was a deep state.

00:29:47.000 None of us knew this until this guy comes along.

00:29:50.000 And says, there's a deep state.

00:29:52.000 And we're going, what a nut.

00:29:53.000 What is he talking about?

00:29:55.000 And it was true. 0.94

00:29:57.000 And all of this stuff, you know, it's bizarre, isn't it?

00:30:01.000 That if you were God, and you're going to pick somebody to restore or return, watch this, to return a nation back to its origin or its roots.

00:30:14.000 Watch this.

00:30:15.000 Have you read your Bibles?

00:30:17.000 God used some of the strangest people.

00:30:20.000 To bring Israel back to its roots. 1.00

00:30:22.000 I wouldn't have picked Samson.

00:30:25.000 Right? Listen, David, a murderer.

00:30:31.000 Jehu, the crazy chariot driver with the wild hair. 0.59

00:30:35.000 Jehu. But do you know what's amazing, you guys?

00:30:39.000 If you know your scripture, and it's so great to know your scripture, because you get to live every day viewing news, viewing everything through the lens of scripture.

00:30:48.000 You don't have to be ruffled about anything.

00:30:50.000 Here's what's fun about being a believer who knows their Bible at a time like this.

00:30:53.000 When you look around, I'm immediately reminded as we're all reading through the Old Testament right now at this time of the year through the Scriptures, I'm reminded that how God used King Josiah is how God's using Donald Trump in this cabinet.

00:31:11.000 See, what do you mean by that?

00:31:12.000 Josiah comes along and says, we've got to get back to the Bible. 0.54

00:31:18.000 Guess what Trump has said numerous times?

00:31:20.000 We've got to get back to the Bible. 0.98

00:31:21.000 You know he said that.

00:31:23.000 I remember being in a room when he walked in.

00:31:25.000 We were in Miami.

00:31:27.000 He walks into a room.

00:31:28.000 There's about 25 pastors in the room.

00:31:30.000 Trump walks in and he says, he doesn't even say, hi, how you doing?

00:31:33.000 Did you like your dinner?

00:31:34.000 Trump walks in and says, all you have to do is give them the Bible.

00:31:39.000 Trump said that.

00:31:40.000 You say, well, I don't like Trump.

00:31:42.000 Forget about that.

00:31:43.000 What he said was true. 0.65

00:31:45.000 Okay, and then he comes along.

00:31:47.000 And like Josiah, Josiah says, we need to tear down these pagan worship centers. 1.00

00:31:55.000 Did you know Josiah did that?

00:31:56.000 He said, for Israel to get back to pleasing to God, we had to tear down these worship centers of paganism. 0.98

00:32:03.000 Guess what those worship centers of paganism, guess what the altar was?

00:32:07.000 The altar was the offering up of newborn children.

00:32:13.000 In King Josiah's day, Josiah said, destroy all of that.

00:32:17.000 Josiah said, I want all the men to be armed, and we need to build the walls and border our kingdom from the enemy.

00:32:28.000 Build walls.

00:32:29.000 You guys, when you look at your Old Testament, you may not have been a friend of Josiah.

00:32:33.000 He may have had hair or not.

00:32:34.000 I don't know what the guy looked like.

00:32:36.000 You may not have personally liked him, but his policies made you safer.

00:32:40.000 And then surrounding nations of Israel and Judah, they were very, very hesitant to mess with Israel during the days of Josiah, the king.

00:32:52.000 Listen, right now, nations are taking a second thought as to what they would do with the United States right now.

00:33:01.000 And that's a good thing.

00:33:02.000 Ladies and gentlemen, when you have nations having to...

00:33:08.000 Think about America again before they do any business or what they decide to do to Israel because America might step in.

00:33:15.000 This is a good day.

00:33:17.000 And this is called politics because it is the execution, at least in this republic, of the will of the people.

00:33:25.000 You and I are sitting in the most unique experiment in the history of man.

00:33:31.000 We live in a republic.

00:33:34.000 Stop listening to the word democracy.

00:33:37.000 We do not live in a democracy.

00:33:40.000 That's all you hear, but that's not what we live in.

00:33:42.000 We live in a constitutional republic, which means, for the first time in human history, for these last 250 years, it's we the people will decide what we will do with this nation.

00:33:53.000 And when the Constitution is being upheld, as it is right now, and then you've got the other team saying, we've got to stop this.

00:34:02.000 We've got to stop this.

00:34:03.000 It's unconstitutional.

00:34:07.000 They don't even know the Constitution.

00:34:09.000 Something's going on right now with Pam Bondi.

00:34:11.000 It's pretty amazing.

00:34:12.000 You'll read about it soon.

00:34:13.000 It's purely, in fact, they dug back, they found, not only is this constitutional, but a law was made back in 2001, and we're going to do it, and people are going to freak out.

00:34:23.000 They're going to freak out and say, you can't do that!

00:34:25.000 Oh, that was made law in 2001 after 9-11, and it is very constitutional as well.

00:34:32.000 But if you don't know what you have, Then you don't know how to defend what you have in your hand.

00:34:38.000 And you can easily lose it if you don't know it.

00:34:41.000 So as believers, we need to vote.

00:34:44.000 We need to shine the light.

00:34:46.000 We need to get involved.

00:34:48.000 Some of you need to run for office.

00:34:51.000 I totally agree.

00:34:53.000 And one last generational note, which I think is important, is that there's basically four voting generations right now.

00:35:02.000 There's Gen Z, which is the youngest. 1.00

00:35:04.000 Millennials, Gen X, and then Baby Boomers. 0.54

00:35:07.000 And then there is Silent Generation, but it's very small.

00:35:10.000 So, of all four, the one that wildly went to the right, in addition to Gen Z, was Gen X. Now, where are my Gen Xers at?

00:35:22.000 You guys are like scary right wing.

00:35:25.000 And, I mean, but let me explain why.

00:35:30.000 You... You might say, well, Gen X, by the way, is 25 points more Republican than boomers.

00:35:35.000 And they're younger.

00:35:37.000 But why?

00:35:39.000 And by the way, they moved almost 20 points more Republican since 2020.

00:35:43.000 It's because they have kids in school and see what's happening in the culture war up close in person.

00:35:52.000 And it's this remarkable thing.

00:35:57.000 Millennials, which I am one, and boomers are kind of tied together because I am a son of the boomers.

00:36:04.000 Gen Z is largely sons and daughters of Gen X. And so they almost move as a block. 0.99

00:36:10.000 Gen X and Gen Z suffered the most during COVID.

00:36:16.000 They're parents that saw their kids suffer miserably.

00:36:20.000 They were in the workforce where all of a sudden their workplaces were shut down and they went all remote.

00:36:25.000 It was the most disruption.

00:36:27.000 And so if you look at the leading indicator, Gen Z keeps going this way, Gen X keeps on going this way, very, very exciting things are coming ahead.

00:36:37.000 Thank you.

00:36:38.000 Thank you.

00:36:44.000 So this cabinet that is in power right now, this cabinet that is being formed and still being assembled, by the way, in some degree, where, for me, it's not going to be settled until Mike Huckabee is passed through his confirmation hearings.

00:37:01.000 But, Charlie, explain this.

00:37:08.000 Governor Huckabee is getting hit really hard because he's...

00:37:13.000 Trump's appointment as ambassador to Israel, and they've been dragging it out, and there's been protesting going on.

00:37:21.000 In fact, I was on Jenna Ellis' show this morning, talking about this very thing.

00:37:28.000 And this is who's against Governor Mike Huckabee being the ambassador of the United States to Israel.

00:37:35.000 Are you ready?

00:37:37.000 The Council for American Islamic Relations, CARE.

00:37:42.000 They are furious that Trump wants Huckabee.

00:37:47.000 Why? He's a born-again, Bible-believing Christian.

00:37:50.000 He's even an ordained pastor.

00:37:52.000 And he loves Israel, and he's made something like 30 trips to Israel.

00:37:56.000 He's obviously biased.

00:37:58.000 And so, care wants him to be removed from this position.

00:38:04.000 The Muslim Brotherhood, they don't want Mike Huckabee to be the ambassador to Israel.

00:38:10.000 I want you to think about this for a moment.

00:38:13.000 The Democrat Party, if you're a Democrat, you do not want Mike Huckabee to be the ambassador to Israel.

00:38:22.000 Interesting. Also this, extremely bizarre liberal rabbis and Jews do not want Mike Huckabee. 0.99

00:38:31.000 You know what all of their answer was?

00:38:34.000 Same answer.

00:38:35.000 He's too pro-Bible. 1.00

00:38:37.000 He's pro-Jesus.

00:38:41.000 He has an overwhelming bias in his heart for Israel.

00:38:47.000 Thus, he cannot be the ambassador to Israel.

00:38:52.000 I know this might come as a shock, but he's not going to be the ambassador for the Muslim Brotherhood.

00:38:59.000 He's not going to be the ambassador for care.

00:39:02.000 He's not going to be the ambassador to Pakistan or to Iran.

00:39:06.000 It's Israel. 0.51

00:39:08.000 Trump is actually appointing exactly the right guy for the job.

00:39:13.000 But he's getting so much resistance.

00:39:17.000 But Charlie, talk a little bit about this cabinet because it's almost as though any one of these cabinet members could be a president.

00:39:24.000 Talk about that.

00:39:25.000 Without a doubt.

00:39:26.000 Let me just...

00:39:27.000 Go a little bit further on the Mike Huckabee thing.

00:39:29.000 And something that I think the church has to become far more wise and outspoken about.

00:39:34.000 And I feel about a decade ago more people used to talk about this and it's gone away and it's bothering me.

00:39:39.000 I don't think the church is properly equipped to understand the issue of cultural Islam and how Islam is slowly slitting the throat of the West. 1.00

00:39:51.000 And the fact that almost nobody is applauding shows we have to do more teaching on this, Jack.

00:39:57.000 This is a serious issue.

00:39:59.000 If you have been blessed to go to Europe 10-15 years ago, I encourage you to go back.

00:40:05.000 It is an unrecognizable continent.

00:40:08.000 It is a conquered land of the Mohammedans. 1.00

00:40:12.000 And Mohammedanism, by the way, is the following of the Prophet Mohammed, where they believe is the ultimate authority. 0.64

00:40:20.000 Christianity in America, we...

00:40:23.000 I think that probably, and Jack is really good on this, I think probably less than 1% of churches are equipping the congregation to understand it is slow motion suicide to import millions of people who are taught to hate you, conquer you, and if necessary, kill you.

00:40:46.000 And I know that might sound extreme, but go read the Quran and the Hadith.

00:40:51.000 And of course there are good Muslims.

00:40:54.000 I have a doctor who is a good Muslim in Phoenix.

00:40:57.000 That is not the point.

00:40:58.000 The point is the ideology in the macro, not the micro.

00:41:02.000 Do not allow them to trap you into micro stories of Muslims that act pleasant to you, okay? 1.00

00:41:07.000 Is the macro compatible with Western civilization?

00:41:12.000 And the answer is it is not compatible with Western civilization.

00:41:15.000 You must hear this.

00:41:16.000 In fact, if you have any doubt, and you mentioned Europe.

00:41:21.000 I've been to Europe both past and present.

00:41:25.000 It's a shock.

00:41:26.000 It's a heartbreaking shock.

00:41:28.000 Europe is a post-Christian world. 0.98

00:41:30.000 There's no doubt about it.

00:41:32.000 But listen, everybody.

00:41:34.000 If you've ever landed at Reagan National Airport and you get in your Uber or rental car and you're heading out of the airport, there is a park just at the north end of the airport and there will be...

00:41:50.000 At various times of the day, there will be anywhere from 100 to 200 Muslims with their prayer carpets out praying.

00:41:59.000 You've probably seen them.

00:42:00.000 In fact, somebody posted this recently.

00:42:03.000 The point is this.

00:42:05.000 Is it Patterson, New Jersey?

00:42:10.000 Patterson, New Jersey?

00:42:11.000 Do you know why I'm bringing it up, anybody?

00:42:13.000 Patterson, New Jersey.

00:42:15.000 The city of Patterson, New Jersey.

00:42:17.000 City Council just went 100% Muslim.

00:42:21.000 And they implemented elements of Sharia law in the United States, in Patterson, New Jersey.

00:42:29.000 If you think that it's just a benign, different religion, you have never read Islam, nor do you know anything about history.

00:42:37.000 And I highly encourage you to read what Winston Churchill said about Islam.

00:42:43.000 It will absolutely blow your mind.

00:42:46.000 And sadly, Winston Churchill, nobody listened to him because now his country is gone.

00:42:52.000 It's conquered.

00:42:53.000 But you've got to realize something.

00:42:57.000 They have a little jingle.

00:42:59.000 And their jingle is, we'll destroy the Saturday people first, and then we'll destroy the Sunday people. 0.95

00:43:06.000 The Saturday people are Jews, and the Sunday people are you. 0.98

00:43:10.000 And you say, well, I know a lot of nice Muslims.

00:43:13.000 Listen, push comes to shove, the radicals will force the ones that you know that are nice.

00:43:20.000 Happens in every country all over the world.

00:43:22.000 By the way, as we sit here tonight right now, in the last several months, and it's escalating, Genocidal acts of Islam in North Africa killing Christians wholesale is at an all-time high.

00:43:36.000 It's at one of the highest levels in the last 50 years.

00:43:40.000 But you don't even know, and so because you don't know, you don't care.

00:43:44.000 But they're being slaughtered by Islam. 1.00

00:43:47.000 This is very, very dangerous.

00:43:49.000 And so just something to keep in mind regarding our borders.

00:43:56.000 Right? Why in our borders here?

00:43:59.000 Why for these last four years in the deserts of Arizona and California and Texas were there letters and notes in Arabic and in Russian and other Chinese instructions in the desert for them to pick up and go to various places?

00:44:17.000 There's a plan.

00:44:18.000 There's a plot.

00:44:19.000 And thank God.

00:44:21.000 President Trump's working hard to shut those doors down.

00:44:24.000 And I'll just end with this.

00:44:26.000 Try tonight to get on a plane and fly to Saudi Arabia or even Germany and walk into the country without the proper documentation.

00:44:39.000 Are you hearing me, everybody?

00:44:40.000 You young people up here right now, go try right now to walk into Canada without proper identification. 1.00

00:44:48.000 You can't do it.

00:44:50.000 So then why are we opening the door saying, come on in no matter what?

00:44:56.000 We're being invaded.

00:44:58.000 And the previous administration allowed it and even encouraged it.

00:45:05.000 Private student loan debt in the United States totals about $300 billion.

00:45:11.000 About $45 billion of that is labeled as distressed.

00:45:14.000 YReFi refinances distressed or defaulted private student loans that others refuse to touch.

00:45:20.000 YReFi is not a debt settlement company and they work with each borrower individually, tailoring each loan to each borrower's specific situation.

00:45:29.000 You will not be calling a faceless call center.

00:45:33.000 YReFi can save thousands of dollars by refinancing and even lower your total cost.

00:45:39.000 Go to YREFI.com.

00:45:41.000 You can even skip a payment every six months up to 12 times without penalty.

00:45:45.000 Go to YREFI.com.

00:45:48.000 Can you imagine being debt-free and not living under this burden anymore?

00:45:53.000 The first step is contacting YREFI.

00:45:55.000 Go to YREFI.com.

00:45:57.000 That is Y-R-E-F-Y.com.

00:45:59.000 If you have private student loan debt, if your friend has private student loan debt, refer them to YREFI.

00:46:05.000 They love America, so check it out.

00:46:07.000 YREFI.com.

00:46:09.000 May not be available in all 50 states.

00:46:13.000 And understand this, that Islam, it never goes from a Christian society to an Islamic society. 0.73

00:46:20.000 There's an intermediary step, and that is secularism.

00:46:24.000 So a continent like Europe goes from a Christian continent to a materialistic secular continent and then to an Islamic one. 0.94

00:46:32.000 But understand that Islam is able to quote-unquote solve the problems of modernity. 1.00

00:46:38.000 So what happens is you're Christian and you're happy and you have kids and people are flourishing.

00:46:43.000 But then we said, well, we need to go liberate our women because Christianity is oppressive. 1.00

00:46:47.000 That is feminism. 1.00

00:46:48.000 That's what you guys send your daughters to college to go learn. 1.00

00:46:51.000 And so they become miserable and then you have to deprogram them and not see them for Thanksgiving.

00:46:56.000 So, by the way, it's a fact.

00:47:01.000 The lack of redemption to send your kids to college is...

00:47:05.000 Very, very remarkable.

00:47:07.000 Anyway, that's a whole separate topic for another time.

00:47:09.000 So we decide to, quote-unquote, liberate our women.

00:47:12.000 It's all about women's liberation, as you notice.

00:47:14.000 Started in the 1960s and 70s.

00:47:16.000 What happens when women are liberated? 1.00

00:47:17.000 Well, they think that marriage and having family formation is oppressive and that it's patriarchal.

00:47:23.000 So then having children goes down.

00:47:25.000 And so all of a sudden, Europe, they say, well, we need to have people that do all of our jobs because we're not having kids.

00:47:32.000 Because we are super rich and we're materialistic focused.

00:47:35.000 So who's going to staff our resorts and make our chateaus, keep our chateaus clean and drive our taxis?

00:47:41.000 And so we need people.

00:47:43.000 And they say, well, there's 50 million people in the Middle East that want to be here.

00:47:48.000 And you couple that with a non-Christian, pagan problem, which is guilt.

00:47:55.000 Guilt is a major, major driver of left-wing politics.

00:48:00.000 We as Christians should not walk around with guilt because we are forgiven by Christ our Lord because of what he did on the cross.

00:48:09.000 So, when you are plagued with guilt, which is a major problem of left-wing politics, because they can't reconcile with guilt.

00:48:17.000 There is no way to absolve yourself of guilt.

00:48:20.000 You know the only way you can do it?

00:48:21.000 Is do left-wing things. 0.99

00:48:23.000 Diversity is my strength.

00:48:25.000 Black Lives Matter.

00:48:26.000 In this house we believe.

00:48:27.000 Trans your kid. 0.99

00:48:28.000 That's like as close as you can get.

00:48:29.000 To, like, absolving yourself of guilt.

00:48:32.000 Well, Europe, primarily, what, Europe is only really one country.

00:48:36.000 As Germany goes, all of Europe goes. 0.93

00:48:38.000 They're by far the wealthiest country, the most productive one.

00:48:40.000 Germany has been hypnotized to believe that you should be always guilty for what your grandparents did.

00:48:47.000 Again, no one is defending the horrors of the Holocaust, obviously. 0.87

00:48:50.000 But they have this unresolved guilt.

00:48:53.000 What happens when you have guilt plus secularism?

00:48:57.000 Mass migration.

00:48:58.000 That's what you get.

00:49:00.000 So they feel sad and sorry all the time.

00:49:02.000 So you have that awful person, Angela Merkel, who's secular, non-Christian, filled with guilt, and the mechanism of how they make themselves feel better is we're going to go import tens of millions of Mohammedans that are going to go rape our women and take over our land because at least I won't be a Nazi. 0.97

00:49:22.000 And that is the strange death of Europe.

00:49:25.000 And so then we look at America.

00:49:27.000 And praise God we defeated Kamala Harris so that we could kind of thwart this off with the pass. 0.83

00:49:32.000 But it was very similar, right?

00:49:35.000 We had secularism.

00:49:38.000 So we were becoming less and less Christian.

00:49:40.000 Less and less Christian. 0.55

00:49:42.000 We want stuff.

00:49:43.000 We're filled with guilt all the time.

00:49:44.000 What is the great sin of America?

00:49:47.000 The great sin is not abandoning your kids.

00:49:50.000 The great sin is not cheating on your wife.

00:49:53.000 The great sin is not going into debt.

00:49:55.000 The great sin is not becoming an alcoholic.

00:49:58.000 No, the worst thing that you can be in America is a racist.

00:50:02.000 I want you to think about how sick a society is if that's the worst thing you can be.

00:50:07.000 Racism is awful.

00:50:08.000 I'm sorry.

00:50:09.000 Abandoning your children is worse than being a racist.

00:50:12.000 It is.

00:50:13.000 And the fact that we're uncomfortable saying that, of course racism is evil.

00:50:17.000 It has no place in society.

00:50:18.000 But we have decided, the secular designers, that the unforgivable sin... 0.99

00:50:23.000 It's not blaspheming the Lord.

00:50:25.000 It's that thou shall not be racist.

00:50:28.000 And I'm willing to do whatever it takes to show you that I'm not racist.

00:50:31.000 I'll donate to your cause.

00:50:32.000 I'll show up at your parade.

00:50:34.000 Whatever it takes.

00:50:35.000 Have my children as a sacrifice to the God of anti-racism.

00:50:40.000 I will give you my 8-year-old to show you that I'm not racist.

00:50:45.000 And so therefore, our immigration policies are then informed by the very same secular pagan view.

00:50:52.000 Well, we need more brown people because I don't want to be called a racist.

00:50:56.000 That's the worst thing we could be.

00:50:58.000 We need more Ilhan Omars.

00:50:59.000 We need more Rashida Tlaibs. 1.00

00:51:01.000 And if you dare question it, you're going to be called the worst thing that you could be called.

00:51:05.000 This is all a byproduct of secularism.

00:51:09.000 When you are no longer Christian, you have no mechanism to be able to deal with guilt, with shame.

00:51:16.000 And you start doing really goofy, weird stuff to your country.

00:51:20.000 And so now we're living in this kind of post-Christian phase where all of a sudden now we can look at things through a scriptural lens saying, oh wait, in the end of Deuteronomy, Moses wrote extensively saying that be careful who you invite into your nation because those people will then become your masters if you are not careful. 0.85

00:51:40.000 Got it.

00:51:40.000 So now we look at what's happening in Minneapolis where it's becoming predominantly Muslim.

00:51:44.000 We see what's happening in New Jersey.

00:51:46.000 We see how Ilhan Omar is parading around the Capitol with nothing good to say about America.

00:51:51.000 We see Rashida Tlaib.

00:51:52.000 We see CARE.

00:51:52.000 We see how they're going after Mike Huckabee.

00:51:54.000 And we can be wise as a serpent and gentle as a dove and say, you know what?

00:51:58.000 Maybe we should have no immigration from countries that hate us that then repopulate and take over the West. 1.00

00:52:07.000 But you cannot have that belief.

00:52:10.000 If you are predominantly secular.

00:52:13.000 Because when you are secular, a counterfeit left-wing view will take the place of Christianity.

00:52:19.000 Yeah, it's 100% true.

00:52:20.000 And you think about this.

00:52:22.000 I want you to just think this through.

00:52:23.000 This is not for shock value factor.

00:52:26.000 I just honestly want you to take a deep breath and think this through for a second.

00:52:31.000 Have you noticed, Charlie, that the person who first brings up the issue of racism is almost always...

00:52:40.000 The racist.

00:52:41.000 And I want to be clear.

00:52:42.000 I'm not defending racism or not.

00:52:44.000 I'm saying, though, that there are worse sins than having racial stereotype against that.

00:52:48.000 Like, raping a child is worse than being a racist.

00:52:51.000 Absolutely. And that should be repeated because in society, we treat the racists worse than the racists.

00:52:57.000 But in reality, actually the people making the accusation are the ones with racial bitterness in their heart.

00:53:03.000 Exactly, exactly.

00:53:05.000 So, we heard...

00:53:09.000 Five days before Barack Obama took office, I believe it was five days, or maybe it was five days before the election, he said, we are only five days away from fundamentally changing America, transforming America.

00:53:24.000 Think about that for a moment.

00:53:25.000 It had never been said before.

00:53:28.000 If you love a country, you might run for office to make it better, and you might understand that you're running for an office in this country to help Create a more perfect union.

00:53:40.000 Isn't that supposed to be what our politicians are to strive for?

00:53:43.000 That's what our founding fathers told us.

00:53:46.000 But if you want to...

00:53:47.000 Can you imagine you meet a woman and you say, let's get married.

00:53:52.000 But before we do, you need to fundamentally change.

00:53:58.000 You think she would go through with that one?

00:54:01.000 And yet, I'm going to say something that is tragically, I think, accurate.

00:54:06.000 It doesn't feel very good, but...

00:54:08.000 You know, you've got George Washington, you've got Lincoln, you've got Reagan, you've got Trump, just all this by the numbers.

00:54:17.000 But you know who was one of the most powerful presidents in all of American history?

00:54:23.000 It's Barack Obama.

00:54:26.000 Powerful in the negative.

00:54:27.000 He normalized the entire LBGTQ situation by putting up the gay flag in our embassies around the world. 0.97

00:54:38.000 And on the White House.

00:54:39.000 And on the White House.

00:54:40.000 He completely changed the color of the White House into rainbow.

00:54:44.000 And then he normalized...

00:54:48.000 Islam. He spoke in Harvard and behind him in the area that he was speaking, you can go look it up, it's still online, he demanded that they drape the back end of where he was speaking because he was actually speaking from a pulpit and behind was all of this incredible woodwork giving glory to God and the Lord Jesus Christ in Scripture.

00:55:10.000 Barack Obama demanded that it be covered up.

00:55:13.000 Why would he do that?

00:55:15.000 You see, you can't say anything about that because he's black. 1.00

00:55:18.000 Well, that's not exactly true.

00:55:20.000 He's half white.

00:55:22.000 But we were so guilt-stricken that we had to, I know, I'm just saying, I didn't, but people had to atone.

00:55:32.000 Watch this.

00:55:33.000 They had to atone for themselves.

00:55:35.000 So do you guys know that Barack Obama could not have been elected president without the white vote? 0.74

00:55:40.000 Did you know that?

00:55:42.000 He had to have the white vote.

00:55:44.000 To win.

00:55:45.000 But then as soon as he won, we were called racist.

00:55:48.000 But if we were racist, then watch, I'm going to shock you.

00:55:52.000 If he was elected and you couldn't get elected without white votes, and then he and his party turn on us and call us racist, here's the funny, ironic thing about it.

00:56:06.000 If you voted for Barack Obama or Kamala Harris because they're black or half black, You're a racist.

00:56:18.000 You ever think of that?

00:56:20.000 If you voted for somebody based on the color of their skin versus their qualifications, you're a racist.

00:56:31.000 You call it and you rightfully do.

00:56:34.000 Guilt. Guilt.

00:56:35.000 Shame. Yes, and understand, this is where it all becomes spiritual, the enemy, Satan, He wants you to live in that state of shame and guilt.

00:56:45.000 He is the accuser.

00:56:47.000 Satan literally means prosecutor in Hebrew.

00:56:50.000 He never will give you escape or freedom.

00:56:53.000 That is why Christ changes the entire ballgame.

00:56:55.000 And that is why societally, when you have a civilization that believes in Christ, you don't live by your past mistakes.

00:57:03.000 You are born new.

00:57:04.000 You are born in Christ.

00:57:06.000 And then all of a sudden, you don't have to say, you don't have to talk about slavery all the time.

00:57:12.000 Because you're a forgiven nation and you're a forgiven people.

00:57:15.000 Do you understand how the left wants the same way that Satan would?

00:57:19.000 To hold you captive of something that you might not have done or been connected to and they keep you in that state of perpetual guilt and shame.

00:57:27.000 Why? You are easier to control that way.

00:57:30.000 You are easier as a society to make you do other things that you would not do.

00:57:35.000 Because you are filled with that guilt.

00:57:37.000 All of you have been in that place where you feel so bad that you did something.

00:57:40.000 You say, anything.

00:57:41.000 I'll do anything to make it right.

00:57:43.000 Well, imagine that as an entire country.

00:57:45.000 That is the West over the last 30 or 40 years. 0.94

00:57:48.000 And that is why the only solution is to bring the entire country back to Christ. 0.88

00:57:54.000 To bring everybody back to Jesus.

00:57:56.000 Otherwise, it actually, you will not be able to long-term solve this problem.

00:58:03.000 And so, you asked about the cabinet.

00:58:06.000 But we got a little off track, but it's a phenomenal thing.

00:58:12.000 By the way, this is where I also want to just applaud President Trump's wisdom and his courage.

00:58:18.000 I truly believe the hand of the Lord is on President Trump, and he's using him as a vessel.

00:58:23.000 I really believe that.

00:58:29.000 But just look at...

00:58:31.000 The intellectual diversity.

00:58:33.000 You have Tulsi Gabbard.

00:58:34.000 You have Bobby Kennedy at HHS.

00:58:36.000 Praise the Lord that he's there.

00:58:37.000 Two Democrats that were running for the presidency.

00:58:40.000 By the way, if all Bobby Kennedy does is answer one question, he will be the greatest HHS secretary in history.

00:58:47.000 There's only one question he has to answer.

00:58:49.000 It's not what is a woman, but he already got that one right. 1.00

00:58:53.000 It's very simple.

00:58:55.000 Why are our kids so sick?

00:58:58.000 That is his mission statement.

00:59:00.000 That's all we care about, Bobby.

00:59:02.000 Answer that question in four years with no hocus-pocus Fauci science, and you will be a triumph, the likes of which we will thank you for 100 years.

00:59:14.000 That one question.

00:59:16.000 Because our kids are so sick.

00:59:19.000 In this state, 1 in 28 kids have autism.

00:59:21.000 The highest in the country.

00:59:24.000 50% of our 15-year-olds are obese or overweight.

00:59:28.000 We do not have a child starvation problem in this country.

00:59:30.000 We have a child diabetes problem in this country.

00:59:34.000 They are trying to add...

00:59:36.000 Ozempic to the Medicaid schedule for 12 and 13-year-olds.

00:59:40.000 Harvard scientists are saying that obesity is not a lifestyle choice, it is a genetic condition, and there's no use in trying to change diet or improve lifestyle, just do an injection once a week.

00:59:51.000 This is a waste of time.

00:59:53.000 It'll make everyone's lives better to have teenagers addicted to an insulin shot at the age of 12 or 13. We have more kids with neurodivergence.

01:00:03.000 Half of our kids, half of our kids by the age of 21 will have contemplated suicide, said that they are very depressed, hyper-anxious, or in need of significant counseling or a daily regimen of antidepressants.

01:00:16.000 Half of our kids.

01:00:18.000 We are seeing a crisis the likes of which a wealthy developed nation should never actually see.

01:00:25.000 So praise the Lord that the one guy who prayed, Bobby Kennedy, who used to pray to God, this is his own story.

01:00:32.000 He said that his own story is an answer to prayer.

01:00:36.000 Bobby Kennedy used to get on his hands and knees and say, God, put me in a place where I can get to the bottom of why our kids are so sick.

01:00:43.000 He literally said, I will do anything.

01:00:46.000 Use me as a vessel.

01:00:48.000 So he ran for the presidency as an independent.

01:00:51.000 He ran as a Democrat.

01:00:52.000 I think Bobby deserves a lot more credit than he gets at times.

01:00:56.000 Do you know how hard it was for a Kennedy to burn all the boats of his ancestry to go endorse Donald Trump?

01:01:03.000 I know you guys might grasp that.

01:01:05.000 It is everything.

01:01:07.000 He is the namesake of Bobby Kennedy, of RFK.

01:01:12.000 And he said, I asked God to give me a chance, and he saw an opportunity.

01:01:17.000 And he did it, and he endorsed Trump, and he was a phenomenal surrogate.

01:01:21.000 And now, to this day, he's already asking the right questions out of the vaccine manufacturers.

01:01:26.000 He's trying to get pharmaceutical advertising off television.

01:01:28.000 Praise God, that would be a huge victory for the American people.

01:01:32.000 Phenomenal. And so...

01:01:34.000 And I could spend the rest of our evening, Jack, on this, but let me just go quick.

01:01:39.000 We got Pete Hegseth, who's just doing amazing at head of DOD.

01:01:42.000 And we have...

01:01:44.000 By the way, how great is J.D. Vance?

01:01:46.000 What an upgrade J.D. Vance is, right?

01:01:50.000 Did you say upgrade?

01:01:52.000 Did you say upgrade?

01:01:55.000 Oh yeah, I said upgrade.

01:01:56.000 That's awesome.

01:01:58.000 Major upgrade.

01:01:59.000 Big league.

01:02:01.000 Wait, before he goes off of this, please, if you did not see J.D. Vance's speech in Europe to the who?

01:02:07.000 To who was it?

01:02:08.000 Well, there was two.

01:02:09.000 There was AI, but also the Munich Security Conference.

01:02:11.000 The Munich Security Conference.

01:02:13.000 Please watch it.

01:02:14.000 Masterclass. Extraordinary.

01:02:17.000 Some people are saying it was the best speech given in the last 100 years.

01:02:21.000 And I can tell you that J.D. Vance loves the Lord.

01:02:24.000 He's a serious Christian.

01:02:26.000 He's also a major fighter for the unborn.

01:02:30.000 A serious pro-life advocate.

01:02:32.000 And I love J.D. I can't wait to introduce you to J.D. I want Jack to lay hands over J.D. and pray for him.

01:02:40.000 I think he's going to make a great...

01:02:42.000 48th president.

01:02:43.000 I really think JD's going to do a great job.

01:02:45.000 I really do.

01:02:46.000 So, let me, um, but then also, Kash Patel running the FBI with, with, hold on, his deputy, Dan Bongino.

01:02:58.000 I mean, come on.

01:03:02.000 And Marco Rubio at Secretary of State.

01:03:06.000 Wow, isn't he?

01:03:07.000 Man, he came on great.

01:03:08.000 And how about...

01:03:09.000 Tom Homan securing the southern border.

01:03:11.000 I mean, I just, I want all of you, and there's a lot that we can express tonight, but we should just be in a constant state of gratitude.

01:03:22.000 It says in the scriptures to pray without ceasing.

01:03:25.000 And I want that prayer for you to be one of gratitude.

01:03:28.000 Look, there'll be ups and there'll be downs.

01:03:30.000 There'll be cringe moments.

01:03:31.000 There'll be things, oh, I could have said it better, but hold on, guys.

01:03:34.000 We have never seen a team of such capable all-stars assembled to save this country that we love.

01:03:41.000 And glory be to God for this moment that we are living through.

01:03:45.000 Absolutely. Absolutely.

01:03:47.000 Thank you.

01:03:48.000 Thank you.

01:03:52.000 One of the things that was mentioned recently in news is that this is not only the most competent cabinet in American history, but that they are profoundly unified in the vision.

01:04:06.000 And I think that's a testimony to Trump's leadership.

01:04:10.000 There's no gray area.

01:04:12.000 They know what they're doing.

01:04:14.000 They know what they're supposed to do.

01:04:15.000 And Charlie and I were talking about this earlier today.

01:04:18.000 Isn't God amazing?

01:04:20.000 And I love how God never asks us for our help or for our opinion.

01:04:24.000 So Trump has his first four years.

01:04:30.000 He was able to do by the numbers.

01:04:32.000 I'm saying that for people who don't like him.

01:04:35.000 Forget about him.

01:04:36.000 Go look at the numbers.

01:04:37.000 Regarding the economy, regarding the military, regarding interest rates, the borders, you name it.

01:04:45.000 The first four years...

01:04:48.000 He was able to set records, and at the same time, he's fighting off all these impeachments and two FBI forensic investigations.

01:04:56.000 He had to deal with half the Rhino Republican Party, all the Democrat Party, and all of the hatred and people spewing stuff. 0.94

01:05:07.000 And America did great, and you made a lot of money during those four years.

01:05:11.000 And then the Biden thing happens, and we're like, what's going on?

01:05:18.000 I know my Bible, so I'm starting to get a little nervous thinking, okay, God, you're God, because you give, in the Bible, you say you give a nation the leaders that they deserve.

01:05:30.000 So I looked around at the landscape, and I was hoping Trump was going to win the second time, but I had to ask myself, what do we deserve?

01:05:40.000 As a nation, we deserved Kamala Harris. 1.00

01:05:43.000 Oh, that's right.

01:05:44.000 Let's be honest.

01:05:46.000 But here's my concern.

01:05:48.000 But God is so good.

01:05:49.000 So, four years, great.

01:05:52.000 Four years, not great.

01:05:54.000 A guy runs again.

01:05:57.000 Why would he run again?

01:05:58.000 The guy's worth billions of dollars.

01:05:59.000 He's not getting younger.

01:06:01.000 He's got grandkids.

01:06:02.000 He's got a lot at stake.

01:06:04.000 Why run again?

01:06:05.000 He already knows what it's like.

01:06:09.000 He runs, obviously.

01:06:11.000 He crushes it.

01:06:13.000 And dodges a bullet.

01:06:14.000 No, he didn't.

01:06:15.000 He actually got hit by the bullet.

01:06:16.000 The Lord saved his life that day.

01:06:18.000 The bottom line is, you guys, the second term, you're living history right now.

01:06:23.000 All of you, especially you young people, you ought to get excited.

01:06:26.000 You got a president and then he was not a president.

01:06:29.000 And then it worked out so perfectly that it wouldn't have been so great if Trump would have had eight years.

01:06:36.000 It's actually better because God is God that it was the four and then the bad four and then now the beginning of the new four.

01:06:44.000 And you guys need to sit up and take notice.

01:06:47.000 God doesn't care about how you feel.

01:06:49.000 God's going to execute His will.

01:06:51.000 And the best thing for you to do is get behind what God wants to do.

01:06:55.000 And you can take a lot of comfort knowing God says, I established the kings and I removed the kings.

01:07:02.000 Amen. That's awesome.

01:07:03.000 And I just want to remind you guys, we did a happening now, as I said, on January 21st, 2021.

01:07:09.000 And it was not a good vibe here.

01:07:12.000 And we had to try to really dig people out.

01:07:15.000 I think we did a good job of that.

01:07:16.000 And at the time, people would say, Charlie, is this it for America?

01:07:19.000 Are we done?

01:07:20.000 Is it over?

01:07:21.000 And at the time, it looked like that.

01:07:23.000 The border was completely wide open.

01:07:25.000 We were seeing the militaristic crackdown of any dissidents.

01:07:29.000 I mean, it was a dark, dark time.

01:07:31.000 But I go back to two scriptures.

01:07:33.000 Genesis 50-20.

01:07:35.000 What the enemy meant for evil, God will use for good.

01:07:38.000 And they really regret not letting Trump win that 2020 election at this point.

01:07:48.000 There is a lot of regret.

01:07:50.000 They're basically like, why is it we had to do all these drop boxes and mail and stuff and the mules and all?

01:07:57.000 Why couldn't we just have allowed Trump a second term?

01:08:00.000 Because now they have to deal with Kash Patel and Dan Bongino and Bobby Kennedy and Tulsa Gabbard and J.D. Vance.

01:08:04.000 And they're like, what is this?

01:08:07.000 It's a disaster.

01:08:09.000 And it should remind all of us that in those micro-trials, and look, we're going to go through trials again.

01:08:15.000 There will inevitably be a time where we get a little too prideful, and maybe the Democrats win another presidential election.

01:08:22.000 It might be in four years or eight years.

01:08:24.000 Things go in cycles, okay?

01:08:26.000 And so...

01:08:27.000 We have to just remember, Romans 8, 28, that God will use all things for good for those who love him.

01:08:34.000 And it's just such an important lesson for me because it looked as if it was the end of America four years ago when in reality it was God's love for America to say, no, it's actually a new birth of freedom if you stay faithful and you keep fighting.

01:08:53.000 If you want to make sense of the change and the chaos happening around us, you're going to need God's help.

01:08:58.000 That's why Alan Jackson Ministries, a friend of mine, created the Culture and Christianity Podcast, the Culture and Christianity Conference, and their weeknight news show, Alan Jackson Now.

01:09:09.000 Millions of people also listen to Pastor Alan Jackson's powerful sermons each week, I do, on radio, television, satellite, and online.

01:09:17.000 In today's world, there's desperate need for truth, and Alan Jackson Ministries feels a sense of urgency to deliver God's truth and a biblical perspective to anyone who will listen.

01:09:29.000 We can't afford to be complacent.

01:09:31.000 Their mission is to help people become more fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ, which is the most important thing, giving your life to the Lord, including here on The Charlie Kirk Show.

01:09:40.000 Go to alanjackson.com slash charlie.

01:09:44.000 That is alanjackson.com slash charlie to find recent podcasts, shows, and sermons.

01:09:50.000 Be informed.

01:09:51.000 Find encouragement.

01:09:52.000 Hear the truth delivered in a way that just makes sense.

01:09:55.000 You'll also find books, studies, prayers, and other tools to help you grow in your faith.

01:10:00.000 Again, that's alanjackson.com slash charlie.

01:10:03.000 alanjackson.com slash charlie.

01:10:04.000 This is our time to make a difference.

01:10:06.000 Check it out right now.

01:10:09.000 So let me put on the sarcastic hat.

01:10:12.000 Well, that's just great, Charlie.

01:10:15.000 Yes, our politics is better, and even our economy right now, it's going to hurt because we overspent really bad as a country.

01:10:28.000 Please listen to this so you're not shocked later.

01:10:32.000 I think the market was down today close to 400 points.

01:10:35.000 Get used to that for a while.

01:10:37.000 It's going to be rough for a while.

01:10:39.000 Because we overspent.

01:10:41.000 We were drinking all of this, you know, milkshake and all this stuff and having a great old time.

01:10:50.000 But that's not how you can function.

01:10:51.000 And so our economy's got to go through some healing processes.

01:10:55.000 Don't worry about it.

01:10:57.000 In fact, if you listen to some of these guys, you listen to J.P. Morgan and Stanley, and you listen to these other guys, and they're saying, Trump's doing exactly the right thing, but boy, hang on, because it's going to be amazing in about 10 months.

01:11:10.000 This thing should really, really, we should get through it.

01:11:13.000 Just know this, but Charlie, so that's good news, and the border's shut down, and now there's no new wars starting, like during Biden, there was a war every other day.

01:11:25.000 Come on, let's...

01:11:26.000 To be honest, you think Putin would have invaded Ukraine if Trump would have been in office?

01:11:30.000 There would have been a million people still breathing air right now.

01:11:34.000 That never would have happened.

01:11:36.000 And then October 7th, 2023 with Israel, that never would have happened. 0.90

01:11:41.000 So all that's great, Charlie.

01:11:44.000 That's just great.

01:11:46.000 But a political revival in the nation is completely different than a spiritual revival within the nation.

01:11:55.000 So what needs to happen next, and this is where my concern is, you mentioned the next four years.

01:12:04.000 I'm concerned regarding the midterms for this reason.

01:12:13.000 I believe God is saying to the church, look, at least he's saying it to this pastor.

01:12:19.000 I can't speak for any other except Greg Denham.

01:12:22.000 God bless you, brother.

01:12:23.000 Great guy.

01:12:26.000 God is saying to me, look, I gave you guys some freedom.

01:12:31.000 I gave you guys some liberty.

01:12:32.000 I held back by my mercy.

01:12:37.000 And Trump's doing the right thing for the nation.

01:12:40.000 But what are my pastors going to do with this freedom?

01:12:43.000 What are my pastors going to do with the Word of God?

01:12:47.000 What are my pastors going to do with the cultural and social issues that we've become accustomed for 100 years?

01:12:56.000 Shame on us, the church, for leaning on the government to take care of the homeless problem.

01:13:02.000 Leaning on the government to take care of the social ills.

01:13:07.000 The church should have never abandoned those positions.

01:13:10.000 The church should be the greatest assist to a local government and to a state government.

01:13:19.000 And I believe God is saying, what?

01:13:24.000 What will the church do?

01:13:25.000 What will the pastors do in America with this extension of grace?

01:13:31.000 That's my greatest concern.

01:13:33.000 Because I think if the pastors don't get up and wake up and speak up, God may give us a midterm election result that Trump is powerless in his last two years.

01:13:46.000 It could happen.

01:13:48.000 Probably will.

01:13:49.000 Unless the church wakes up.

01:13:51.000 Because if you think God is going to spare America just for political reasons, you don't know the God of the Bible, nor do you know American history.

01:14:00.000 Okay? This is big stuff.

01:14:02.000 I believe now the answer is the pulpit in America.

01:14:07.000 What will happen in the pulpit in America is the next point.

01:14:12.000 Yeah, and to reiterate that, there is a harvest waiting to happen.

01:14:17.000 I do not currently see pastors interested at all.

01:14:19.000 And the harvest is very simple.

01:14:21.000 It ties back to what we said earlier.

01:14:22.000 There are millions of young men starving for the truth that are asking their local pastor to start to be a pastor, not just someone who gives a TED Talk with a rock concert wearing skinny jeans.

01:14:35.000 Don't worry, you're fine, Jack.

01:14:36.000 And they're not that skinny.

01:14:39.000 You're great.

01:14:41.000 A church is more than a place with organized parking and above-average coffee.

01:14:46.000 And to go hear how great you are.

01:14:49.000 Here's the problem.

01:14:50.000 A feminine church affirms those that walk in.

01:14:56.000 A biblical church, or one that is masculine, or at least gets presented as one, challenges those that walk in. 0.77

01:15:04.000 Those are two different things.

01:15:07.000 Allow me to build that out.

01:15:09.000 Young men will go. 1.00

01:15:11.000 I hear this all the time.

01:15:12.000 They say, Charlie, I can't find a church near me.

01:15:14.000 Jack, you have young men that will drive five hours to come down here.

01:15:17.000 And they do and they are.

01:15:19.000 And that's awesome and that is something that is a testament to Jack.

01:15:23.000 But how many churches did they pass on the way that weren't telling the truth?

01:15:30.000 That weren't doing the right thing?

01:15:31.000 So what does this look like in practice?

01:15:33.000 Well, very simply, it's when you are presenting the scripture, You need to be actively trying to provoke the people in the audience, your congregation, to understand that, yes, you need a Savior.

01:15:49.000 But you can't grasp what a Savior is if you don't know what sin is.

01:15:53.000 And so when a church does not preach about sin, then how on earth do you even say you need a Savior?

01:16:00.000 The modern gospel, as embodied by those just nauseating, he gets us advertisements, which are just...

01:16:07.000 Ridiculously awful and a waste of money and doing such damage to the kingdom right now.

01:16:12.000 Which basically those ads are saying he gets you.

01:16:17.000 Jesus is your bro.

01:16:19.000 Hyper-narcissism.

01:16:20.000 He's going to come down.

01:16:21.000 Hey, when you're watching porn, he gets you.

01:16:23.000 Totally. When you're going into debt, he gets you.

01:16:28.000 Instead, it should be...

01:16:30.000 No, no, no.

01:16:31.000 The whole framing of the campaign should be that...

01:16:35.000 God judges you and Jesus saves you.

01:16:38.000 Very simple.

01:16:39.000 How often do you hear this idea that God is a God of judgment?

01:16:43.000 Never. Well, because that's too judgy and people won't show up for that.

01:16:46.000 Look, I hate to pull rank here.

01:16:48.000 I know how to draw crowds of young people, okay?

01:16:50.000 And guess what?

01:16:51.000 They don't show up for me on campus because I water things down.

01:16:55.000 They show up and I will say very plainly, I believe that transgenderism is not biblical.

01:17:02.000 I believe that homosexuality is a sin. 1.00

01:17:04.000 I will go through these things.

01:17:06.000 I believe that abortion is murder.

01:17:09.000 And the crowds are growing.

01:17:11.000 Why? Because they are so searching for truth.

01:17:15.000 Finally, if a pastor is giving a sermon to affirm the sins of those that attend, that person should stop being a pastor.

01:17:26.000 And the affirmation trend is a very disturbing one, where they'll say, well, I'm not one to tell you that if you're in a homosexual marriage, there's nothing wrong with that.

01:17:38.000 Or I'm not one to say that if you're transing your kid, there's nothing wrong with that.

01:17:42.000 In fact, I'm going to meet you where you are and Jesus loves you as you are.

01:17:47.000 Forget all the theological sloppiness there.

01:17:51.000 How has that worked for the church the last 30 years?

01:17:54.000 It's been a disaster.

01:17:57.000 That church attendance is down.

01:17:59.000 And watering it down through a modern lens has turned into a generation that says, why would I get up at 9 a.m. to hear this when it's no different than just a self-help seminar at the local library?

01:18:14.000 There's literally no difference.

01:18:17.000 Instead, what we need is a crisis call for a generation for them to understand that there will be an hour of judgment.

01:18:27.000 And that there's only one thing that will save that.

01:18:30.000 And they must understand the severity of sin, what human nature actually is, and the depravity of man.

01:18:38.000 And guess what?

01:18:39.000 You have a generation that wants that kind of truth-telling preaching, not the watered-down garbage that they're getting time and time again when they go to their local church.

01:18:50.000 It's for that reason That for those of us who are old enough, there are many indicators right now with what Charlie just said that is very reminiscent of what we saw in the late 60s and early 70s when the Jesus revolution, the Jesus movement broke open upon America.

01:19:10.000 The kids were disillusioned by the Timothy Leary LSD scene.

01:19:17.000 Free sex, free drugs, live for whatever feels good.

01:19:23.000 And remember, parents in those days were so caught up with just giving their kid money because they were out building fortunes that the kids went out into this land of lust.

01:19:36.000 And it was the kids who woke up.

01:19:38.000 They said, wait a minute.

01:19:40.000 I'm tired of getting stoned.

01:19:42.000 I'm tired of all this sex.

01:19:44.000 There's no meaning to my life whatsoever.

01:19:46.000 And they went searching.

01:19:47.000 And they started showing up at a church in Costa Mesa with no bath, no shoes, filthy.

01:19:59.000 Of all things, to watch an old man sit on a stool and read the Bible to them, verse by verse.

01:20:06.000 That was Chuck Smith.

01:20:07.000 And there's all these kids.

01:20:09.000 And it was historic what happened.

01:20:11.000 And then that, in my opinion, eventually over the decades died out.

01:20:17.000 We're starting, we see now, what Charlie just described, we see the indicators of the, we're on the cusp of what I call a revival in the church.

01:20:27.000 When the church is revived, then there's an awakening.

01:20:31.000 Listen, a believer has to be revived, revival.

01:20:36.000 The world doesn't need a revival.

01:20:39.000 There's nothing to revive in the world.

01:20:41.000 The world needs an awakening.

01:20:43.000 When the church is revived and acts like the church, then the lost are awakened.

01:20:50.000 We're on the brink of that right now.

01:20:52.000 So the challenge is, will you be ready now, tonight, to follow Jesus?

01:20:57.000 Not a church, not a person, not a movement, not a thing.

01:21:01.000 Will you be willing tonight to follow Jesus?

01:21:04.000 Will you let his word, the Bible, be the sovereign authority of your life?

01:21:08.000 I tell you what, you say, well, that's too restrictive.

01:21:11.000 It's the exact opposite.

01:21:12.000 You're listening to the lies of the enemy.

01:21:13.000 You want freedom?

01:21:14.000 You want liberty?

01:21:15.000 Hey, you want freedom and liberty even if you're in a cell?

01:21:18.000 Oh my goodness, I just reminded myself of something.

01:21:21.000 I met a young man last Sunday who wrapped me up in his arms and...

01:21:28.000 Gave me a big hug, and I noticed he had tattoos all up his neck.

01:21:33.000 And he was just so joyous and handsome and vibrant.

01:21:37.000 But I thought, I recognize these tattoos.

01:21:41.000 And I said, what's with the tattoos?

01:21:43.000 And he said, I was in federal prison.

01:21:48.000 I was in a federal penitentiary.

01:21:51.000 And he said, they allowed us to listen to the radio.

01:21:56.000 And he said, Pastor Jack, I got saved listening.

01:21:59.000 And that's why I'm here today.

01:22:00.000 I got saved listening to your broadcast.

01:22:03.000 And I'm a brand new man.

01:22:06.000 And he said, God has restored my life.

01:22:12.000 He already knows what the underbelly of the world is.

01:22:15.000 And he doesn't want it anymore.

01:22:17.000 He wants Jesus.

01:22:18.000 And listen, what about you?

01:22:20.000 Here's the thing.

01:22:22.000 That the Jesus that you and I read about in scripture is the Jesus that loves you.

01:22:27.000 And watch this.

01:22:28.000 Charlie used a couple of words about will you be affirmed when you walk into a church or will you be challenged?

01:22:34.000 I want to remind you, Jesus never affirmed anyone.

01:22:39.000 Not a single person.

01:22:41.000 In fact, when he had a golden moment to add numbers to his church of 12 guys.

01:22:48.000 Isn't that amazing?

01:22:50.000 God, when he was on earth, was a pastor, and he only had 12 people, and one of them was Satan.

01:22:55.000 That's possessed.

01:22:58.000 But did you know that Jesus practiced negative church growth tactics?

01:23:03.000 The rich young ruler came to Jesus.

01:23:08.000 Think about the church that would love to have a rich young ruler in their congregation.

01:23:13.000 This man comes to Jesus.

01:23:15.000 He was the yuppie.

01:23:16.000 You guys are young people, you don't know who that is.

01:23:17.000 But this kid was young, he was rich, and he had power.

01:23:21.000 And he said, Jesus, what do I need to do to enter the kingdom of heaven?

01:23:25.000 And Jesus, it was so amazing, because what Jesus said was quite remarkable, because Jesus answered him in a way that wasn't exactly the answer to heaven, but it was the answer for that young man this way.

01:23:39.000 So Jesus, what do I need to do to enter the kingdom of heaven?

01:23:41.000 And Jesus says, go sell everything that you have and come and follow me.

01:23:46.000 He goes down the list of things and I've kept all these laws and Jesus didn't contend that.

01:23:51.000 He didn't fight that.

01:23:52.000 Jesus said, go sell all that you have and come and follow me. 0.96

01:23:55.000 Church family, listen, is that how you go to heaven?

01:23:58.000 Do you get to heaven by selling everything you have?

01:24:01.000 No. You think Jesus knew that?

01:24:03.000 What did Jesus do?

01:24:05.000 Jesus hid him right in the idols.

01:24:10.000 He hid him right in the idols.

01:24:11.000 All of his idols.

01:24:13.000 Jesus brought the idols to the forefront of the man's thinking to bring him to the point of decision.

01:24:18.000 And the young man had to go like this.

01:24:22.000 You are the things that I love and have.

01:24:25.000 And the Bible says he turned away and walked away.

01:24:28.000 And the Bible says, and Jesus was sad.

01:24:32.000 Listen, Jesus doesn't want to be sad about the decision you make.

01:24:37.000 He wants you to make the right decision to have Him be the Lord of your life.

01:24:40.000 And Jesus, He doesn't affirm you and say, listen, all are welcome.

01:24:49.000 Of course all are welcome.

01:24:50.000 But God loves you so much that Jesus died on the cross to make sure that all are changed.

01:24:56.000 Every single one of us are sinners.

01:24:59.000 Listen, from...

01:25:02.000 Homosexuality to adultery to robbing a bank or to sitting there looking like an angel but having filthy thoughts in your mind. 0.98

01:25:09.000 Did you know all of those things are sin?

01:25:12.000 And if you sit here tonight and say, well, I'm okay.

01:25:17.000 Now you're really messed up.

01:25:20.000 Because you're full of pride.

01:25:23.000 The worst of all.

01:25:24.000 We're all guilty.

01:25:29.000 You would never go to a doctor and appreciate that doctor who would say to you, I just, you know what, you have cancer on your skin and it's looking pretty deep probably into other areas of your body, but I affirm your condition.

01:25:47.000 I just affirm your life as it is.

01:25:51.000 Well, aren't you going to cut it out?

01:25:53.000 Oh, I would never do.

01:25:54.000 That's kind of radical.

01:25:56.000 Listen. You want to be challenged.

01:25:59.000 The doctor, I hope, when you go, he says, what's that thing on your face?

01:26:03.000 You want your doctor to get out the chainsaw and get it out of there. 0.87

01:26:07.000 Jesus says, look, this is your sin.

01:26:11.000 And it has to be dealt with.

01:26:12.000 And that's where you say to him, not me, not anybody else, to him, Lord, be merciful to me, a sinner.

01:26:21.000 Like Isaiah said, the great Isaiah, Lord.

01:26:26.000 Forgive me.

01:26:27.000 I'm undone.

01:26:28.000 I am unclean.

01:26:31.000 Jesus can only forgive sinners.

01:26:36.000 But you have to know that He's the Savior and saviors save people.

01:26:41.000 But if you don't think you need saving, you can't get saved because you don't have a Savior.

01:26:47.000 You have to know.

01:26:49.000 Jesus said, I've come for those who are sick. 0.83

01:26:52.000 A healthy person doesn't need a doctor.

01:26:54.000 That was a slam on pride and arrogance.

01:26:57.000 Don't be like that tonight.

01:26:58.000 I understand.

01:26:59.000 Listen. Religion, people, abusing authority, have taken advantage of us. 1.00

01:27:09.000 And I think there's a special place in hell for people who have clothed themselves in religion and manipulated and took advantage of people.

01:27:18.000 Okay? God will deal with them.

01:27:21.000 But listen, you're still drawing breath, and you need to know this.

01:27:27.000 Jesus, if you would have been the only one born from Adam and Eve, Jesus Christ still would have come.

01:27:34.000 Based on biblical Christianity, biblical scripture, if Adam and Eve only had one child, Christ still would have come to the cross for you.

01:27:44.000 He died for the sins of the entire world, but whosoever...

01:27:48.000 Would believe on Him, would not perish, but have everlasting life.

01:27:52.000 Religion gets in the way of that.

01:27:54.000 Religion will muck it all up and get you all bound up in legalism. 1.00

01:27:59.000 You do this, you pay this, you tithe this much, and you do the other thing, and then you get baptized, and then we'll put this, and we'll put that, and then we'll give you, and then we'll tell you later if you've made it or not.

01:28:10.000 That is sick.

01:28:12.000 God hates it.

01:28:14.000 And Jesus says, you guys who do that, you travel land and sea to make a convert twice as much of a child of hell than you are yourselves.

01:28:25.000 Know Jesus personally.

01:28:28.000 He's the living God who loved you enough to come 2,000 years ago with you on his heart and mind.

01:28:36.000 And he says, if you'll turn to me, I will never turn you away.

01:28:41.000 This is the Lord.

01:28:45.000 And this is the one whom, when in 1620, our pilgrim fathers left Europe because of a brutal organized church, the Church of England, our pilgrim fathers came, and before they stepped off in Plymouth, they crafted the Mayflower Compact.

01:29:08.000 It ain't big.

01:29:09.000 I have it hanging on my wall just behind the screen.

01:29:11.000 It's only two paragraphs long.

01:29:14.000 It's the original birth certificate of the United States that would become the United States.

01:29:19.000 And the first sentence, it says that we have come here for the advancement of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

01:29:26.000 Did you know that?

01:29:28.000 Northern Nation.

01:29:29.000 Thank you.

01:29:34.000 And those guys fought real hard to keep it real simple.

01:29:39.000 Don't complicate it.

01:29:42.000 God loves you.

01:29:44.000 He still loves you.

01:29:46.000 And he wants you to trust in him.

01:29:49.000 Let's pray together.

01:29:51.000 Father, we thank you, Lord, for light, for clarity.

01:29:57.000 And Father, there's no way that truth can be spoken without a lie getting hit.

01:30:05.000 And so, Lord, tonight, test our hearts.

01:30:09.000 If in any way, shape, or form tonight we felt some sort of repulse or pushback of truth that was spoken, may you, Lord, in the midst of us, convict and show us that was me speaking to you tonight.

01:30:25.000 That's why the reaction was that you had.

01:30:28.000 I showed you tonight.

01:30:29.000 This is where I'm speaking to you.

01:30:31.000 And friend, respond to him.

01:30:35.000 Don't make excuses anymore.

01:30:37.000 Don't try to cover anything up.

01:30:39.000 Adam and Eve tried that in the garden.

01:30:40.000 Didn't work then.

01:30:41.000 It doesn't work now.

01:30:42.000 Come to him.

01:30:46.000 And Father, we pray that you would keep Charlie, his precious family, safe.

01:30:55.000 Watch over the entire team at TPUSA.

01:31:01.000 And Father God, we pray that all that you do with him, it would all go to his heart and not his head.

01:31:07.000 We need him to keep going with all that you're giving to him.

01:31:12.000 Lord, may he keep it simple.

01:31:15.000 We love him so very much.

01:31:20.000 And so, Father God, we pray that tonight you might heal America.

01:31:26.000 We thank you for President Trump.

01:31:28.000 God, that he would have absolute faith in you and you alone.

01:31:32.000 We pray for this cabinet.

01:31:34.000 We pray, Lord God, for our law enforcement.

01:31:38.000 We pray, Father, for our military.

01:31:42.000 We ask you, Lord God, in Jesus' name, that you would go before this nation and its policies.

01:31:48.000 We ask you, Father, that you would confirm Mike Huckabee, Lord, to Israel.

01:31:54.000 We ask you, Lord God, that you would do things, And continue to do things that surprise us constantly.

01:32:03.000 You are amazing.

01:32:05.000 We love you, God.

01:32:07.000 We praise you, God.

01:32:09.000 And we thank you, Lord, for Charlie Kirk.

01:32:12.000 I thank you for these people.

01:32:15.000 And we pray it together in Jesus' name and all God's people said, Amen.

01:32:19.000 Charlie, last words?

01:32:22.000 I just want to first thank you, Jack, for this amazing opportunity.

01:32:26.000 I want to repeat some things I said.

01:32:28.000 There is this generational realignment.

01:32:30.000 There is a harvest waiting to happen of young people if the church will rise up and if pastors will lean into this moment.

01:32:37.000 I want to challenge all of you to do more and to fight even harder.

01:32:41.000 This is a respite, a moment of grace given to us by God, and what we will do with it will determine the future of our country.

01:32:49.000 I also want to direct your attention to one thing.
