Unify Action - One Of The Greatest Conversations Charlie Kirk EVER Had

00:00:00.000 All right, guys, on the day that we're recording this, September 11th, 2025, Charlie Kirk was

00:00:07.100 slated to speak at the Karis Bible College in Colorado at the Truth and Liberty Conference.

00:00:14.020 Well, we all know what happened yesterday, so he will not be speaking, but we do have

00:00:19.680 some really amazing conversations and talks that Charlie Kirk has given, and following

00:00:25.680 this uh video you'll be able to watch one of the amazing speeches that he has done it was done uh

00:00:32.960 last year um i think it was in october right before the presidential election um during the

00:00:39.200 campaign and uh and this conversation and talk is one of the most amazing ones that i've ever

00:00:44.560 heard charlie kirk give so i i hope you enjoy it as much as i did

00:00:58.560 I'm sorry we didn't give you an introduction.

00:01:22.680 We thought there was going to be a video.

00:01:24.660 That is OK.

00:01:26.940 So this is Charlie Kirk.

00:01:28.560 Awesome.

00:01:38.240 Well, Charlie, we've heard Lucas mentioned this new study that's out from George Barna

00:01:44.020 showing that 51% of evangelical Christians aren't planning to vote in this election.

00:01:51.240 I was just wondering if you could comment on that and share.

00:01:53.980 Do you have any thoughts about what's causing that level of apathy, number one?

00:01:57.940 number two what can we do to change it in the little time we have left yeah well first uh honor

00:02:02.020 to be here everybody and um andrew you do such a great job and he should be applauded for the

00:02:06.100 great work he does i'll tell you it's it's it's really um so so why am i in colorado with 18 days

00:02:14.260 to go you know i'm in crisscrossing the state of arizona we're chasing ballots by the way

00:02:19.220 we are beating the democrats in early voting in arizona

00:02:22.420 and we're beating them badly by the way it's really great we were down 18 points at this

00:02:30.180 time in 2020 we are up 12 points right now at the same time so we're really seeing a big change there

00:02:36.180 but this really uh came to be with a meeting i had with lucas who were just we're so honored

00:02:41.060 that he's leading tpsa faith and he's doing a wonderful job right i said lucas we have to

00:02:45.300 wake up the church i am seeing warning signs i said we're out west you know because geographically

00:02:51.220 and positionally i need to stay near arizona because that's really my passion right now in

00:02:54.980 my home can i go and address a big audience where hopefully it could be heard um you know

00:02:59.700 on christian television he said well how about andrew's place i said he'll have me i'll be there

00:03:03.860 and so that's really what came there and it this was because of the barna study and because of what

00:03:08.420 i've been seeing and again we we have the largest get out the vote turnout operation in the country

00:03:14.980 with one goal to get donald trump back in the white house to save the country right that is our goal

00:03:21.220 And we can spend a lot of time at a future date, Andrew, you know, diving into why he's

00:03:28.260 the best candidate, all that.

00:03:29.260 I will talk about that from a Christian perspective.

00:03:31.460 I think it's rather self-evident of exactly the stakes and what's going on.

00:03:35.680 But what is so perplexing to me is that now this is my third or fourth major presidential

00:03:41.240 cycle and I've seen kind of the baseline of what we can expect out of church engagement,

00:03:46.400 why the church cares so little about the country

00:03:49.540 at this particular juncture.

00:03:51.520 And I can tell you, George Barna's data is correct

00:03:54.540 because we see this from other pastor summits

00:03:57.540 that were done by other organizations

00:03:59.000 where people are going up saying,

00:04:00.600 there is no good godly candidate here, sit this one out.

00:04:03.980 Where we are hearing, I'm on these text message threads

00:04:06.120 of some pastors that are saying,

00:04:07.980 we are not gonna tell our congregation

00:04:10.120 to speak out whatsoever.

00:04:11.620 And here I am just kind of as the idle observer

00:04:14.200 and everything I can to hold myself back.

00:04:17.020 And I wanted tonight to be an opportunity

00:04:20.280 to speak clearly to the church,

00:04:23.140 to the Christian community here,

00:04:25.360 to not just encourage, but challenge, motivate, 1.00

00:04:28.840 but also get off your tails

00:04:31.420 and do something in this election right now,

00:04:34.360 because it is the missing ingredient.

00:04:37.440 And so let me be as blunt as possible. 0.96

00:04:40.560 If Kamala Harris wins, 1.00

00:04:42.520 it will be because the church handed her the presidency. 0.84

00:04:45.740 It is the only missing ingredient that we see right now.

00:04:49.160 I do GOTV for a living.

00:04:51.060 Guess what?

00:04:51.900 Young people are coming our way in a historic way.

00:04:54.560 Young men are the most conservative they've been

00:04:56.400 in 50 years.

00:04:57.820 So you can't say, oh, it's all a bunch

00:05:03.080 of those college kids at Boulder.

00:05:04.400 Heidi will tell you, I was at Boulder a couple weeks ago.

00:05:07.220 We had thousands of kids show up.

00:05:08.860 So it's not their fault.

00:05:10.820 Guess who else is rising up?

00:05:12.360 the muscular class, the working class of this country,

00:05:14.680 the truck drivers, the plumbers, the electricians,

00:05:16.420 the welders, the police officers,

00:05:18.120 so you can't blame them.

00:05:20.940 We have moms that go to school board meetings 1.00

00:05:23.100 that are rising up in huge numbers, 1.00

00:05:24.680 so you can't blame them.

00:05:26.040 What I'm getting at is the missing ingredient

00:05:28.780 is what we've always taken for granted

00:05:30.920 is that the church actually cared about the nation.

00:05:34.240 And I cannot say this, and I am not exaggerating it,

00:05:37.500 George Barna, who is the gold standard of polling,

00:05:40.360 this guy is not just some random person

00:05:42.140 that they've selected has said that we are on pace

00:05:44.860 for a 13% decrease of Christian turnout.

00:05:48.420 He has polled thousands of pastors,

00:05:50.480 the vast majority of which will not even speak

00:05:52.380 about this election.

00:05:54.020 And this is a five alarm fire in the clearest terms.

00:05:57.580 So why is this happening?

00:05:59.120 There are three reasons.

00:06:00.660 The first of which is that there is this spirit

00:06:03.980 of pomposity and self-righteousness

00:06:06.820 that some pastors have decided to invoke

00:06:10.000 where they will say, I am a Christian

00:06:13.580 and I'm a believer in Jesus. 0.99

00:06:15.500 Donald Trump is a sinner and I can't vote for a sinner. 0.90

00:06:18.960 Now, for any of you that have opened your Bible, 0.99

00:06:20.920 you know how outrageous this is.

00:06:22.540 We are all sinners that fall short of the glory of God

00:06:25.740 and we need Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.

00:06:30.300 And I apologize, I'm giving a longer answer,

00:06:33.040 but this is, I do talk for a living.

00:06:36.000 And we're low on time.

00:06:38.200 We got a country to save your people.

00:06:39.500 And secondly, they'll also say,

00:06:42.900 and I want to lean right into this.

00:06:44.520 They'll say, but Donald Trump is not pro-life

00:06:46.680 how I'd like him to be.

00:06:47.680 Now, I'm 100% pro-life to the place

00:06:49.560 where I will speak at pro-life pregnancy centers

00:06:51.960 across the country.

00:06:52.980 I donate to them.

00:06:53.880 I raise money for them.

00:06:54.880 I go into hostile liberal college environments

00:06:57.320 and make an absolutist and an abolitionist argument

00:07:00.660 when it comes to abortion.

00:07:01.760 You will not find someone that has the battle scars

00:07:05.640 of the pro-life movement like I do.

00:07:08.160 and yet I look at Trump's record outside of the rhetoric,

00:07:11.300 because talk is cheap, and I say, wait a second,

00:07:14.360 we have 10 states that have abolished abortion.

00:07:17.280 Do you know that?

00:07:18.160 We have Texas, Oklahoma, the Dakotas.

00:07:21.240 That is only possible thanks to Donald J. Trump.

00:07:24.060 George W. Bush didn't give that to you.

00:07:25.720 Ronald Reagan didn't give that to you.

00:07:28.200 Newt Gingrich didn't give that to you.

00:07:29.400 God bless him.

00:07:29.980 It was Donald J. Trump that gave you Amy Coney Barrett,

00:07:33.580 Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh

00:07:35.180 the most pro-life victories we've ever seen in history.

00:07:39.400 And let's even zero in on the rhetoric.

00:07:43.780 When Donald Trump is asked,

00:07:45.060 he defends the reversal of Roe versus Wade.

00:07:47.760 He'll say, this is what legal scholars wanted it,

00:07:49.900 sending it back to the states.

00:07:51.120 So we have 10 states that have abolished abortion completely.

00:07:54.200 You know, that was a dream I was told

00:07:55.800 that would never happen by some of the more cynical voices.

00:07:58.640 Am I right, Andrew, in that way?

00:07:59.580 That's true.

00:07:59.920 People said, oh, that's never gonna happen.

00:08:01.560 And yet it took a billionaire from New York

00:08:03.360 who wouldn't always necessarily go to church

00:08:05.320 and live the colorful life,

00:08:06.620 not part of that spirit of pomposity 0.99

00:08:09.260 and self-righteousness and sanctimonious garbage 0.99

00:08:11.580 we see in our church too often, 1.00

00:08:13.060 to get in the arena to fight for babies

00:08:15.680 and save their lives.

00:08:19.600 And so, but they say, oh, Charlie, you know,

00:08:23.480 his rhetoric, again, talk is cheap.

00:08:25.860 He showed the type of justices he'll put up.

00:08:28.560 He has also been morally clear

00:08:30.420 against the horrors of late-term abortion.

00:08:32.160 but again, let's just talk about the reality here. You're trying to tell me you can stay silent

00:08:37.120 because silence is consent. Silence is consent. When slavery was happening, oh, you know, I said

00:08:42.040 nothing. Consent. When the gulags were happening in the Soviet Union, silence, consent. Auschwitz, 0.61

00:08:46.720 silence, consent. Oh, I'm going to be silent and not vote for Kamala Harris because I'm more godly

00:08:52.120 than another person. You are co-signing, therefore, on a Democrat party that has abortion clinics

00:08:58.600 outside of their national convention i saw it with my own eyes when i went to the dnc in chicago

00:09:04.280 which by the way one of my greatest accomplishments ever breaking into the dnc and getting onto the

00:09:07.720 floor of the dnc it's amazing they truly are the party of open borders it's really amazing

00:09:14.200 no restrictions i got right down there eventually they did deport me but that's a separate issue so

00:09:18.600 So, I saw, with my own eyes, abortion clinics of women holding babies in their, in utero,

00:09:28.420 and they walk out without the baby.

00:09:29.880 That's what the DNC, in their official sponsored encouraged programming, had at their national

00:09:35.360 convention.

00:09:36.360 Joe Biden and Kamala Harris turned Easter into the Transgender Day of Awareness.

00:09:39.840 Remember that?

00:09:40.840 That's right.

00:09:41.840 And so, I can go, and we're gonna go really deep in the policy here, but just on that

00:09:45.720 one sticking issue that I hear from pastors.

00:09:48.200 He's not as pro-life as I would like to be.

00:09:49.820 And I always say, did you vote for George W. Bush?

00:09:52.080 Oh yeah, and he's a great Christian.

00:09:53.440 Really?

00:09:54.280 A great Christian whose wife was pro-choice

00:09:56.120 and he never, ever spoke at the March for Life

00:09:58.480 and never gave us pro-life justices?

00:10:00.700 So there's something else here, man,

00:10:02.280 and what exactly is it?

00:10:03.660 Let me tell you.

00:10:04.820 You are too high on your own supply of Christian doctrine.

00:10:09.100 And you don't like the fact that Donald Trump

00:10:11.680 is not quoting Bible verses all the time,

00:10:13.280 even the fact he's delivering victories

00:10:14.840 for us Christians all the time.

00:10:16.660 So maybe you should humble yourself before the Lord

00:10:19.480 and realize he's being used as a vessel

00:10:22.340 for God's purposes here in this country.

00:10:24.800 Amen.

00:10:26.700 Amen.

00:10:30.360 That's awesome.

00:10:37.040 USA! USA! USA! USA!

00:10:42.060 USA! USA!

00:10:45.460 Awesome.

00:10:46.660 Man, I don't have much to add to that.

00:10:52.220 Where do you think we stand as far as the election goes?

00:10:56.120 I know we're in a battle, but where do you think we are?

00:10:58.440 Let me tell you, the positive and the challenging is that the early voter turnout is amazing right now.

00:11:03.620 I mean, in Georgia and North Carolina, where the terrible hurricane hit,

00:11:06.740 despite the fact that people do not have internet, they don't have power, electricity,

00:11:10.640 the colder weather is coming in, some people's homes are destroyed,

00:11:13.600 the highest ever turnout they've seen in Western North Carolina, despite all of that.

00:11:19.580 They are literally crawling over debris to go vote in this election. In Arizona,

00:11:26.980 we're beating them in early voting. We crushed them in voter registration, but this is not the

00:11:30.360 time to celebrate. We are up against a beast, a machine that will do anything to hold on to power.

00:11:35.780 And so that's why I'm here, because I'm looking at it, I'm saying, huh,

00:11:38.760 this thing's going to be close and we're playing without our our anchor we are playing like cut

00:11:46.340 flowers right now what happens when you cut flowers and you put them in a you lose your

00:11:50.240 foundation those flowers die and cut flowers is what's happening in the country you cut out

00:11:54.940 flowers from the church which is the foundation they're going to wither and so i think our chances

00:12:00.580 are 50 50 right now but it wouldn't be 50 50 if the church spoke up amen i'm telling you if 31

00:12:06.840 evangelicals, 31 million evangelicals are planning to stay at home. And it's easy to blame them, but

00:12:12.040 who deserves the condemnation and the challenging is the trembling pastors that shake like a leaf

00:12:18.140 if you dare say anything that might make people offended. Let's remind each other what church is.

00:12:24.360 Church is not a place where you go to be affirmed. Church is a place where you go to be saved and

00:12:30.940 corrected. It is not a place to be told about how your lifestyle is the greatest thing ever.

00:12:36.120 You go there to be reminded that you need a savior and that your life is currently in error.

00:12:41.120 But people don't like that.

00:12:42.200 They say, well, that's not very nice if I tell the people that come to church in that way.

00:12:46.540 Well, hold on a second.

00:12:47.460 What exactly are you running here?

00:12:49.160 Is it a church, which is about correction and elevating the divine?

00:12:52.900 Or is it a place where a TED Talk occurs with organized parking, above average coffee,

00:12:58.760 and a motivational speech, and good music with nice lights?

00:13:02.500 What exactly are you running there?

00:13:03.700 You see, a church in its proper context, as Andrew has done a great job throughout his

00:13:10.740 career, and what a great example, by the way, for other pastors to follow.

00:13:14.940 A church should be unafraid to go against the culture and not conform to the world but

00:13:20.360 preach the word. 0.64

00:13:22.360 The church must lead culture, and allow me to say one other thing on the abortion.

00:13:30.620 Politicians are reading the script of which we provide them.

00:13:33.420 hold Donald Trump to a higher standard

00:13:35.840 than you hold your pastor to. 1.00

00:13:37.720 If I have to hear from another Christian,

00:13:40.900 well, you know, Donald Trump's not as pro-life as me.

00:13:42.780 I say, well, has your pastor spoke out regularly

00:13:45.260 against the slaughter of the unborn?

00:13:46.900 Well, no, no, my pastor doesn't do politics.

00:13:48.600 Oh, so you want Donald Trump to speak out on holy matters

00:13:52.360 when the person you tithe an offer to

00:13:54.360 that you call your home church won't even whisper about it. 0.93

00:13:57.620 Got it.

00:13:58.620 Man.

00:14:00.580 That's good.

00:14:03.420 Well, I think you dealt with the abortion issue and Donald Trump very well.

00:14:08.120 But there's so many other issues, Andrew, if I may.

00:14:11.320 Well, I was just going to ask another thing that I've heard people comment on is,

00:14:16.200 well, they think that the 2020 election was stolen and that the vote is rigged,

00:14:21.100 and so they just lose heart.

00:14:22.540 What difference does it make?

00:14:23.380 As a Christian, I believe that cynicism and despair is a sin.

00:14:30.820 and we know this in the book of numbers which is called in the wilderness

00:14:35.720 God despised when the people of Israel in the wilderness

00:14:39.780 were despairing when they were complaining all the time

00:14:43.260 there is no hope first of all as Christians we have to reject this

00:14:47.860 fleshly idea from the demonic that our action doesn't mean anything

00:14:52.500 all of our actions should glorify God all everything we do should point up

00:14:57.760 from what we eat to who we marry to how we raise our kids to where we go to church to how we

00:15:02.620 how we educate our young people and so but let's talk about 2020 despite all the shenanigans

00:15:09.100 everybody we fell 41,000 ballots short in Arizona in Wisconsin and Georgia and guess what there were

00:15:16.880 millions of people who did not vote because they believed that it would not occur and the easiest

00:15:23.580 way to make sure that your vote won't be counted is not vote. So that's why we have teamed up to

00:15:30.980 make sure that people practice the most secure voting methods possible. Instead of putting your

00:15:36.700 mail-in ballot in the mail, walk it right down to that county recorder's office. If you guys want to

00:15:42.060 vote in person, then go vote in person. There are secure ways to do it. But people say, but Charlie's

00:15:47.560 not 100% secure. But that is such a sloppy argument because I can 100% guarantee the

00:15:53.880 Democrats will take over the country if none of us vote. That's right. And so that kind of

00:15:59.660 negativity and that cycle of cynicism is something that we as Christians are forbidden

00:16:05.580 from engaging in. I agree. And David Barton also made a point that there are hundreds and hundreds

00:16:13.100 of cities that have tightened the voter thing. So we are making an improvement in that air.

00:16:19.840 Let me ask you about the economy, because I think everybody recognizes that inflation's

00:16:25.300 way up and everything. And I remember Kamala Harris, when she was asked about the economy,

00:16:29.060 said that she inherited the worst economy in decades from Trump, which in my estimation

00:16:35.020 is a boldface lie. How do you respond to that? Of course it is. And so let's look at something

00:16:40.780 that we as christians should care about private property is a christian virtue meaning the ability

00:16:46.140 to own property the first ever real estate transaction do you know this andrew i'm not

00:16:50.140 going to quiz andrew on the bible he'll know it was abraham abraham buying the plot of land to bury

00:16:56.220 his wife and himself in hebron it's the first ever real estate deal in the bible the idea of

00:17:00.220 ownership of land is a biblical idea a workman is worth his wages we should want more americans

00:17:07.100 especially young people, to be able to own property, not have to rent for the rest of their

00:17:11.600 life. It is good for everybody. It builds equity. It rejects cynicism. It makes you more invested

00:17:18.940 in your community. It makes you more likely to develop a family. We are becoming a nation of

00:17:23.960 renters. When Donald Trump was president, you could buy a home earning $75,000 a year of

00:17:31.300 combined family income. Now it requires $130,000 a year and it's near $150,000 a year in the Denver

00:17:39.060 metro area. It has nearly doubled in the last four years and why is that? It's because Kamala Harris

00:17:46.740 decided to pump the economy with six trillion dollars of unnecessary government spending 1.00

00:17:53.860 which then increases asset prices. Simple supply and demand. This is why sand is cheap and diamonds

00:18:00.260 are expensive. When you have more of something, it becomes worth less. When you have less of

00:18:04.740 something, it becomes worth more. And additionally, which again is an issue I really want to emphasize

00:18:08.980 here, when you have 10 million new people come into your country and those people need a place

00:18:14.320 to live, it will raise the asset price as well. So Kamala Harris has allowed the largest invasion 1.00

00:18:20.680 in American history to occur in a short period of time. When people come in, you guys see it in

00:18:25.560 in Aurora, Colorado, of Trendale Raga,

00:18:27.840 taking over apartment complexes

00:18:29.960 that we are currently subsidizing.

00:18:31.960 And allow me to speak about this

00:18:33.560 from a Christian perspective,

00:18:34.800 because I don't hear this often from pastors,

00:18:37.800 but not well-educated and wokey pastors, if I may,

00:18:42.400 will fall for this immigration nonsense. 1.00

00:18:45.040 And you'll see this, by the way, 0.84

00:18:46.420 with these just repulsive he gets us advertisements

00:18:49.400 that they run during the football games.

00:18:52.100 It's bad theology, it's bad at its core.

00:18:55.560 Well, they'll say, but Charlie, Jesus wanted open borders.

00:18:59.120 Now, first of all, there is no theological basis whatsoever.

00:19:02.360 What Jesus and the scriptures call for

00:19:04.180 is to love the sojourner, to love the foreigner.

00:19:06.560 However, borders is an explicitly biblical idea.

00:19:10.320 In fact, I know Donald Trump's favorite book of the Bible.

00:19:12.940 Do you know this?

00:19:13.900 It's the book of Nehemiah,

00:19:14.880 because it's all about building the wall.

00:19:16.140 The entire book.

00:19:21.640 Awesome. 0.99

00:19:22.480 It's literally about building the wall of Israel. 0.89

00:19:26.420 So the idea of sovereignty of nations, 0.85

00:19:30.480 and let's remember,

00:19:31.740 God told us and showed us

00:19:33.720 that he rebukes a one-world government.

00:19:36.760 The idea of sovereignty and borders

00:19:38.360 came out of Genesis 11,

00:19:40.380 when Nimrod wanted to build the city of Babel

00:19:42.760 of a oneness of the world,

00:19:44.660 to build a city upon himself,

00:19:46.080 and God scattered the people

00:19:47.560 in all different lands and nations

00:19:48.880 and different languages 0.93

00:19:49.820 because God wanted smaller micro-communities

00:19:53.200 of governance, not the World Economic Forum,

00:19:55.860 which of course is what Kamala is pushing us towards.

00:19:58.280 But let's get to the inexcusable facts

00:20:01.400 that every pastor in America should be speaking about.

00:20:03.920 If I ask you a hypothetical,

00:20:05.820 would a pastor be in error

00:20:07.360 if he did not speak against slavery in this country?

00:20:10.080 Say, of course.

00:20:11.200 Would a pastor be in error

00:20:12.460 if a pastor did not speak about

00:20:13.960 how kids are being sold into sex slavery?

00:20:16.820 Well, newsflash, there are more people

00:20:18.760 being sold in slavery in this country right now

00:20:20.820 on the southern border than any time

00:20:22.560 in the last couple hundred years,

00:20:23.800 and the church is silent.

00:20:25.400 There are 320,000 kids that we know of

00:20:28.600 that have gone missing, 0.99

00:20:30.580 many of whom are now teenage prostitutes 0.99

00:20:33.460 and sex slaves for the cartel 1.00

00:20:35.760 in the interior of the United States, 0.99

00:20:37.480 but the church is silent.

00:20:39.180 You see, Kamala Harris did this with a direct action

00:20:41.720 when she decided to get rid of DNA testing on the border. 1.00

00:20:44.780 Quickly, here's how it works.

00:20:46.080 You show up on the border as a 13-year-old girl. 0.97

00:20:48.040 By the way, you're raped an average of three times 0.51

00:20:50.360 in that voyage to get to the border. 1.00

00:20:52.360 You are currently being used as a sex toy 0.99

00:20:55.480 by the cartels all the way up till there. 1.00

00:20:57.660 The typical mode of operation under Donald Trump

00:21:00.580 was something called DNA testing.

00:21:02.060 Thanks to modern technological breakthrough,

00:21:03.980 you do swabs, saliva swabs of each individual.

00:21:07.040 You put it in and in 90 seconds,

00:21:08.920 you can have an affirmative or a negative DNA match.

00:21:11.860 So is the person with the minor actually the relative

00:21:15.100 or is it somebody else?

00:21:16.320 Super simple, easy to use.

00:21:17.640 Take 90 seconds, you don't have to send it out

00:21:20.240 to Abbott Laboratories, 90 seconds. 0.96

00:21:22.400 One of the first actions that Kamala Harris took 1.00

00:21:25.100 with Joe Biden was to get rid of DNA testing. 0.99

00:21:27.460 So here's how it works.

00:21:29.020 They show up on the border, trembling 13-year-old girl 0.59

00:21:32.060 who was just raped a couple times,

00:21:34.320 you could tell her head is down, I've seen it myself, 0.82

00:21:36.260 you can go to human to see it, is looking down

00:21:38.660 and a muscular 35-year-old pimp says, I'm her dad.

00:21:42.500 And there is no DNA testing that occurs.

00:21:45.120 So instead, they just say, sign on the paperwork,

00:21:47.520 here's your asylum date, it's in three years,

00:21:49.840 of course it never comes, 0.99

00:21:51.020 and the girl is now a sex slave in the United States. 0.99

00:21:53.340 Under Trump, we do a DNA test, be like, 0.98

00:21:55.460 you're lying, that's not correct,

00:21:57.440 we're gonna find out who her parents actually are,

00:21:59.620 because we're not gonna co-sign to her becoming 0.97

00:22:01.820 the worst thing that we could possibly tolerate.

00:22:03.980 However, the church is uninterested in this.

00:22:06.840 Exactly, pastors are too interested in bigger buildings

00:22:10.700 and more budgets and not in the fact that kids, 0.99

00:22:13.300 God's children are being sold as sex slaves 1.00

00:22:15.940 in our own country. 0.99

00:22:17.160 This is not happening in Afghanistan.

00:22:19.660 This is not happening in some far off distant land.

00:22:22.240 This is on our turf.

00:22:23.580 This is in our own nation.

00:22:25.560 And I can't make the moral argument more clear than that

00:22:29.380 if there's just one issue.

00:22:30.560 Just vote to end modern day slavery.

00:22:33.240 That's it, but I just get at this,

00:22:35.400 is that many of these pastors either don't know this

00:22:38.420 or they don't know the stakes of this.

00:22:39.580 I know we're over time or whatever,

00:22:41.020 but it's very, I cannot drive this point home enough,

00:22:45.180 which is that don't judge the world for their failure

00:22:48.760 if the church is silent.

00:22:50.200 We will behold to a higher account.

00:22:52.440 It will go down, this will go down to a similar,

00:22:56.100 but not the same, it's in the ballpark

00:22:58.220 of the churches failing during Nazi Germany. 0.70

00:23:01.080 We will be judged for this. 0.80

00:23:02.420 That's right, that's right.

00:23:04.320 Awesome.

00:23:06.840 Charlie, we wanna go to some Q&A time,

00:23:11.000 but I just wanna ask one more question here if we can,

00:23:13.780 which is everybody that's here and everybody that's watching online,

00:23:17.580 what can we do to increase voter turnout among fellow Christians?

00:23:22.780 Yeah, it starts at the top.

00:23:24.160 Look, we're short on time right now.

00:23:25.740 We're 18 days out.

00:23:27.040 But for those of you guys that are in good churches,

00:23:29.660 you have to ask the questions of the people in your church.

00:23:32.900 For example, if you have a small group, if you have community groups,

00:23:36.000 you have text threads, go through your list and make sure all 20 are voting.

00:23:39.840 Make sure all 30 are voting.

00:23:41.320 Do that GOTV list.

00:23:42.500 And again, the way I look at it is that we have marriage ministries, we have prison recovery

00:23:47.140 ministries, we have drug rehabilitation ministries. We have ministries for everything. Why don't we

00:23:52.300 have a ministry to make sure that every person that shows up at the church is voting? Period.

00:23:55.780 End of story. It's a very simple ask, right? We are called to be salt and light. What do salt and

00:24:00.640 light have in common? They change the environment that they come in contact with. Christians are

00:24:04.920 currently not changing the environment of America at all. So that's a very simple way. But more

00:24:09.780 importantly is this, and this might be a little harsh for you, I don't care, you invited Charlie

00:24:13.120 Kirk to this place, I mean, come on, all right, which is this, listen, if you go to a church

00:24:18.740 and you might say, well, that guy gave a nice sermon and it's just so nice and it's just so

00:24:23.500 warm and I always, you know, leave feeling so good and they have good Easter service and Christmas

00:24:27.880 service, all my friends, and they're silent on this, if your pastor remains silent after multiple

00:24:33.040 loving but direct and truthful confrontations, you need to cut it off and say, I'm going to find

00:24:38.460 another church you have to stop supporting those churches because you are then a co-sponsor in the

00:24:43.980 thing that you guys are all agreeing me with you guys are then subsidizing and co-sponsoring the

00:24:49.680 silence on the sex slavery on the border it's easy to point fingers but if you guys are putting 100

00:24:54.420 bucks a week into a church that remains silent then you guys are signing off on the silence

00:25:00.800 evil. So stop doing that and leave those churches. Amen. All right. Well, I think we're ready to do

00:25:13.760 some Q&A with the audience. We have ushers that have microphones and mic stands. And so they're

00:25:21.720 going to get those in position there. And this will be available, I know, online. Please text

00:25:26.980 this to your pastors, your friends. Let's make this conversation go viral. Right, guys? I want

00:25:32.340 the church to hear what we have to say tonight. Okay. All right. So if you have a question for

00:25:38.380 Charlie, just come on up and get in line. The ushers there at the end of the aisle. And looks

00:25:43.240 like we've got some folks coming forward here, Charlie. So does TPUSA have any volunteer

00:25:48.460 opportunities for people to help with this Get Out the Vote campaign? Yeah. Again, we look to

00:25:54.460 expand to Colorado in a future date. We are proving the model of ballot chasing, voter

00:26:00.400 registration in Arizona, and a little bit in Wisconsin and other states, but really all in

00:26:03.900 Arizona. Look, you guys know this. I'm not telling anything you know. Heidi knows this

00:26:08.580 about anybody else. They perfected the blueprint here in Colorado, and they're trying to bring it

00:26:12.620 to Arizona. So I have to kind of quell their invasion temporarily, and then we can come back

00:26:17.200 and do a rescue mission here in this state. Well, I did talk to someone in the know, just so you

00:26:21.020 know, yesterday who said that the early returns on the mail-in ballots here, the Republicans

00:26:25.960 are outpacing their performance in 2020, and the Dems are underperforming based on 2020.

00:26:31.520 So, praise God, praise God.

00:26:36.020 All right.

00:26:36.660 Do we have anyone that has a question?

00:26:38.860 Okay.

00:26:51.980 Okay, gosh, I'm privileged to be first.

00:26:56.200 And I had a question, but you actually answered it with your opening statement.

00:27:01.800 It was, why are you in Colorado?

00:27:03.520 Because you have so many boots on the ground in the swing states.

00:27:07.840 So since you already asked it, can I pray for you?

00:27:11.720 So, Father, I just lift up Charlie Kirk to you right now in Jesus' name.

00:27:15.740 I thank you, Lord, that he seeks you, he finds you, and he follows you.

00:27:20.700 I thank you, Lord, that you have created him with a boldness that he steps into willingly.

00:27:26.880 And, Lord, I just thank you that because he binds kindness and truth around his neck

00:27:32.920 and writes it on the tablet of his heart,

00:27:37.180 that he has favor and good standing with you and with man.

00:27:42.760 And I thank you, Lord, that you surround him with a hedge of protection

00:27:46.500 and that everything that you want for this country

00:27:51.700 is coming to fruition in Jesus' name.

00:27:56.480 Amen.

00:27:58.360 Thank you so much.

00:27:59.900 God bless you.

00:28:00.540 Thank you.

00:28:01.680 Awesome.

00:28:04.500 Oh, can you lower it?

00:28:07.220 Okay, thanks.

00:28:10.500 Thank you.

00:28:11.820 Hi, I'm such a big supporter.

00:28:13.660 I went to all your Turning Point conventions over the summer.

00:28:16.500 volunteered for you in Boulder, bought all your books,

00:28:19.240 listened to your podcast, write postcards to swing voters,

00:28:22.640 returning to the next map, take the Hillsdale online college

00:28:27.060 courses, and I sent a message to my pastor about why Kamala

00:28:31.780 Harris shouldn't be president that you said in your podcast 0.97

00:28:34.180 the other day.

00:28:34.980 Anyways, huge fan.

00:28:36.800 I'm a part of the Young Republicans in Colorado.

00:28:39.120 We've been working hard to flip.

00:28:40.460 we've been working hard to flip blue state legislative seats to red yes it's so amazing

00:28:50.460 to see so many people here and you getting a standing ovation and i'll go up to people

00:28:54.940 with maga hats or these bible college students and they're like wow like it's so cool you're

00:28:58.420 so passionate about politics and i'm like yeah thanks you should come door knock with us and

00:29:03.240 they're like yeah no like i'm not doing that um and they're always there's always an excuse of

00:29:08.680 why they're busy. And a part of me is mad. We saw this in Germany when millions of Jews

00:29:13.420 were slaughtered because the church did nothing. I truly believe if there's a will, there's 0.51

00:29:19.800 a way. I'm tired of the talk. I want action. My question is, how is a 19-year-old Christian

00:29:24.940 girl? Do I motivate people to actually fight for this country by chasing ballots, testifying

00:29:30.880 at the Capitol, or signing postcards, or door knocking?

00:29:34.040 What a great crib it up for her. What's your name again?

00:29:35.880 Gabriela I want to meet her afterwards I want to meet her out that's great

00:29:41.340 um let me tell you in Colorado it needs to happen you guys need to lean into the trends that are the

00:29:46.640 low-hanging fruit for example there is there are so here's what happens in blue states it's happening

00:29:51.420 in California I know my home state of Illinois there are hundreds of thousands of people that

00:29:55.720 agree with us that don't engage because they think it's just a waste of time right they're

00:29:59.380 like oh my vote doesn't matter it's too blue so what is the low-hanging fruit well the low-hanging

00:30:04.260 fruit are the people that work at their hands, regardless of skin color, especially men that do

00:30:10.160 not have a place in the Democrat party. You need to find them, register them, and bring them into

00:30:14.640 the fold the same way the Democrats have become the party of the college-educated voter. Now,

00:30:19.320 I will tell you the challenge of Colorado. The challenge of Colorado is that it is the second

00:30:24.020 most college-educated state in the country, Massachusetts being one, Colorado being two.

00:30:28.640 Now, that's bad because obviously you go to learn to hate the country and hate yourself and believe

00:30:32.280 there's no God when you go to college.

00:30:33.300 Unless it's, you know,

00:30:34.520 Carys Bible College, of course, right? 0.55

00:30:35.860 So, obviously.

00:30:38.300 So, that is a long,

00:30:42.260 the college educated problem is a longer problem,

00:30:44.640 but there are, and I don't know the numbers,

00:30:46.720 hundreds of thousands, I know, on the western slope

00:30:49.280 of people that are not registering and not voting.

00:30:52.200 And here's the thing in particular.

00:30:54.700 Men of all ages, all backgrounds,

00:30:57.480 as long as they don't have a four year degree,

00:30:59.760 are going Republican by like a 60 or 70% margin.

00:31:02.800 And so I'm sure you see that on the ground, right? 1.00

00:31:05.260 Now, young ladies are a separate issue.

00:31:07.120 We can discuss that later on. 0.91

00:31:09.720 So what you could do is that I would make a big push

00:31:12.700 in the coming years in Colorado,

00:31:14.320 run up the score with men, register more of them to vote,

00:31:17.220 really go after the plumbers, electricians, the welders,

00:31:19.420 the people that are in the union trades,

00:31:21.760 and then understand that it's going to be a decade long,

00:31:25.260 if not a decade and a half long fight to win back the state.

00:31:28.380 but i always look at the question is the state as is it being accurately presented by its political

00:31:36.460 outcomes and some states are colorado is not you guys are you you vote and you know quotes far

00:31:44.140 more democrat than the values of this state actually are and i i do think you're a center

00:31:49.580 left state in some ways you have to be honest with that but the i do an event in colorado and

00:31:55.020 but look at this, we have like 3,000 people here.

00:31:56.880 I mean, there is a remnant, there is a community

00:32:02.460 that wants to take back the state,

00:32:04.080 but then a final point is you have to start local

00:32:06.760 and then branch out from there.

00:32:08.380 You got to win the school boards and the superintendents

00:32:11.220 and then the state legislative races

00:32:12.660 before you then win the governor's races.

00:32:14.400 Thank you so much, God bless you.

00:32:21.400 Hello, Charlie, how you doing?

00:32:23.180 My name is Robert Ortega, and I was thinking, I watch you all the time, I hear your podcast

00:32:30.900 every day, and I always want to talk to you, and one of the situations we have right now

00:32:38.360 is the church, you're right about that, but another situation we have is about the Latino

00:32:43.520 community.

00:32:45.020 I follow you, I follow Michael Knowles, Matt Walsh, Candy, Candace Owens, you know, you

00:32:51.740 guys are like the best, you know, and I see that you have like everything, you know, you have Jewish

00:32:58.480 people, Catholic people, Christian people, black people, but I haven't seen any representative from

00:33:06.180 the Latino community. Now, I agree with a lot of your points about the immigration that is basically

00:33:14.700 out of control right now. I have a really good friend, he's from Venezuela, he doesn't like to 1.00

00:33:20.440 all these people because for our job they take a lot of our income because 1.00

00:33:27.220 they go to the low basis so we have to go lower because they go much lower so

00:33:33.320 basically in all the time that I listen to you I never hear something that 1.00

00:33:40.880 promote the Latino vote I hear that you say well if they come here illegally they

00:33:46.160 have to go. I understand that, but there is some people like me, you know, I come here, I have my

00:33:53.200 papers, I think that I own something for the country. I do myself as a volunteer for the

00:33:58.960 fire department because I own something for my community. But from the perspective of

00:34:06.620 gaining Latino votes, I don't see that connection. And I think that's really important for what we're

00:34:13.780 doing right now. No, it's a great point. And in Project 2025, not that one, a different one,

00:34:19.700 we can talk about expanding that. I will say this, though, that I try to get away from just

00:34:25.980 black outreach, Hispanic outreach. I think that these values are applicable to all people of all

00:34:31.720 backgrounds and all races. And I think one of the ways that we reach Hispanic voters is two ways,

00:34:37.700 through men and through the church. And I think we're seeing that in Arizona, we're doing record

00:34:42.640 numbers with Hispanics. And I want to just be clear, I say it all the time, but I'll say it

00:34:47.100 again, which is that you came here legally with your papers. And it is an injustice that other

00:34:53.800 people can cut in line and defraud our system and get benefits, which then makes you feel like,

00:35:00.620 well, why did I do it the right way when people cut in line? We want illegal immigration to be 1.00

00:35:06.060 punished and legal immigration to be rewarded. That is the position of our movement. So 0.92

00:35:11.260 So, and finally, we are seeing more and more distinctions, less about race.

00:35:20.420 This is actually one of the more positive things happening in politics.

00:35:23.220 Race doesn't tell you as much about someone's politics anymore.

00:35:27.020 Instead, class and sex will, which is really interesting.

00:35:31.120 And I actually think male-female distinctions matter.

00:35:33.920 I don't think Hispanic-black-white distinctions matter. 0.91

00:35:36.800 I don't care about your skin color.

00:35:38.420 I care about your values.

00:35:39.520 but I think male distinction actually really matter a lot.

00:35:43.080 I think God made men and women and made them different

00:35:45.240 and I think that those differences are beautiful

00:35:47.360 but class is the most interesting.

00:35:49.380 The Republican Party's becoming the party of the middle class.

00:35:52.420 By definition, if you're the party of the middle class,

00:35:54.660 eventually you will win elections

00:35:56.940 because there's more people in the middle class 0.93

00:35:58.780 than in the elite or in the permanent underclass

00:36:01.700 and so love that feedback and thank you so much.

00:36:04.080 Appreciate it, thank you.

00:36:09.520 Hey, Mr. Kirk. So real quick, two questions. What would be like the top three most impactful

00:36:16.440 books in your life that you've read? Or that like, you know, whether that's Christianity or

00:36:20.660 politics or whatever. And then the second one would be, how would you self-educate yourself?

00:36:25.300 Like what's the most effective way? How would you self-educate yourself most effectively?

00:36:30.760 Great. So I'll start with the second question. I try to read a hundred books a year.

00:36:34.880 When you don't go to college, you have so much time on your hands. So

00:36:37.580 So, and I listen to podcasts all the time.

00:36:41.620 I take learning, I call it going to the intellectual gym, right?

00:36:45.900 The same way that a bodybuilder goes to the gym every day, someone who's in my space has

00:36:49.860 to constantly be consuming content, reading books.

00:36:53.340 I'll give you a couple of reads that changed my life.

00:36:55.660 Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis is a game changer.

00:36:59.720 And it's very important to remember when you're reading Mere Christianity, it was originally

00:37:03.760 delivered as radio addresses during the Blitz in London.

00:37:07.560 Anything by C.S. Lewis is amazing.

00:37:09.640 The second book is not a Christian book, but it points to Jesus,

00:37:12.680 which I think is one of the most powerful books of the 20th century,

00:37:15.460 which is Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl.

00:37:18.820 Viktor Frankl lost everything in the Holocaust, survived a concentration camp,

00:37:23.720 and he believes that outside of the absolute immediate necessities, food and water,

00:37:29.160 that the number one need of humanity is meaning.

00:37:33.280 it is not sex it's not power it's not money but it's meaning and I think it if you read it now

00:37:39.940 like about 50 70 years later now that we're living through a society that has electricity for

00:37:46.920 everybody wi-fi cell phones we're wealthy but we're also suicidal depressed anxious alcohol and

00:37:52.220 medically addicted Viktor Frankl's hypothesis 70 years later that he developed in a concentration

00:37:57.900 camp is more true than ever. Where he realized in the concentration camp that the person, even 0.82

00:38:03.920 though that they were the sickest person and the weakest person, if they had a reason to survive

00:38:09.320 in the concentration camp, they would. The person that got sick that gave up hope would die within

00:38:14.180 48 hours. And it's amazing. And then that points to Jesus because Jesus is ultimate meaning. Just

00:38:20.920 off the top of my head, the third one, which is a unique one, again, I'm just kind of riffing on 0.50

00:38:24.940 this would be the book that built your world or the book that changed your world by an Indian

00:38:31.580 author by the name of Vishal Mangalwalde. I know it's like kind of very obscure. He's an amazing

00:38:36.780 guy. I've met him. He makes the argument that we as Christians have no idea how much the Bible and

00:38:43.700 Christian worldview have built America and that everything we think is common sense is actually

00:38:48.820 Christian sense from free speech to private property rights to universal human equality

00:38:53.320 to separation of powers, the independent judiciary,

00:38:55.840 to guilty and true proven innocent,

00:38:57.540 to giving money to the poor,

00:38:58.920 to all these things that we think are normal,

00:39:00.840 actually not normal.

00:39:02.120 Because he says, I grew up in a country

00:39:03.700 that wasn't Christian Indian.

00:39:05.440 And he says, we don't take care of the poor.

00:39:07.260 We have a caste system.

00:39:08.260 It's not normal to say that murder is wrong. 1.00

00:39:10.440 We discard babies all the time in India.

00:39:12.000 And he says, from an Indian perspective,

00:39:13.800 you come to America,

00:39:14.900 you realize that the Bible has built

00:39:17.560 this unbelievable society and civilization.

00:39:20.120 So there you go.

00:39:21.000 Amen.

00:39:23.320 Hey, Charlie, my name is Charles Montana.

00:39:29.100 Thank you.

00:39:30.800 That's a great name.

00:39:31.980 Charles Montana.

00:39:32.940 You should be like a folk singer or something.

00:39:35.760 Charles Montana.

00:39:37.100 It's like Johnny Cash.

00:39:38.260 Charles Montana.

00:39:39.080 You got a career there.

00:39:39.860 What's your question?

00:39:40.720 My wife and I, we went to this Bible college.

00:39:43.080 Andrew, you've changed our life.

00:39:45.300 Andrew, I'm sorry.

00:39:46.940 Charlie, you have inspired me to do what I can to save this nation.

00:39:52.220 I'm from the beautiful battleground state of Georgia.

00:39:56.040 My wife and I were planning on starting a church there in Georgia.

00:40:00.040 And we have in 2026, a Senate and governor's race.

00:40:04.500 In 28, presidential and Senate race.

00:40:07.740 I wonder if you want to get anything started in Georgia.

00:40:10.560 We're going to be in the Gwinnett County area.

00:40:12.560 I want to work for you.

00:40:14.240 So if there is any way that I can get connected with you,

00:40:17.580 if there's any email address I can reach, I want to work for you.

00:40:20.920 Yeah, yeah, well, we are hiring, and we are motivated to hire people like you.

00:40:25.600 So if you went to this college, that's what we call a job interview, right?

00:40:29.620 So, so Mikey can handle that.

00:40:36.300 Let me just speak, I want to encourage you to start the church in Georgia,

00:40:40.740 because Georgia does not need more churches, it needs better churches.

00:40:44.340 We are in Georgia, yes.

00:40:45.700 And there are plenty of churches in Georgia, but boy, the quality of churches has just gone down.

00:40:50.520 I mean, Georgia is like the home of the weak

00:40:53.960 and the cowardly and the trembling that don't speak out. 0.94

00:40:57.580 And so there is a population there 0.97

00:40:59.720 that is culturally Christian,

00:41:01.840 but they're not being fed a biblical worldview.

00:41:05.220 And that's one of the reasons why

00:41:06.500 Georgia is a perfect example, everybody, 0.98

00:41:09.060 of a state that was once reliably Christian,

00:41:11.600 conservative, Republican,

00:41:12.920 that has become a battleground state,

00:41:14.840 and it is solely because of the church.

00:41:17.440 It is exhibit A, numero uno, of what happens when the church no longer takes its rightful role as counselor of the king.

00:41:25.860 So, we'd love to work with you.

00:41:27.140 Start that church.

00:41:27.800 We'll help any way we can.

00:41:28.740 Thank you.

00:41:29.120 Sounds good.

00:41:36.760 Hi, my name is Donna Ryan, and I'm a boomer.

00:41:41.320 Came from Massachusetts, transplanted to California,

00:41:46.120 retired from L.A. County Sheriff's Department as a law enforcement technician.

00:41:50.860 And I have four beautiful granddaughters,

00:41:55.180 one who is very much, she goes to a Christian college,

00:41:59.180 but she very much believes in socialism.

00:42:02.840 What college?

00:42:04.860 Biola. 0.81

00:42:05.800 Well, that's not a Christian college.

00:42:07.360 Oh, it's not?

00:42:09.260 No, they have Ed Stetzer as the head of their theology department.

00:42:12.460 I'm being facetious.

00:42:13.900 They haven't been Christian in a long time at Biola, but yeah.

00:42:17.340 They're what we call woke Christian.

00:42:19.060 They've been completely consumed by the woke mind virus.

00:42:22.260 And again, if I'm offending you, excellent.

00:42:24.420 No, no, I just thought it was.

00:42:27.440 I didn't know. 1.00

00:42:29.360 Biola is a joke, and it has been for quite some time. 1.00

00:42:31.480 I'm sorry. 0.99

00:42:31.780 Maybe, is there another one that begins with a B?

00:42:34.740 No, no, you're describing the right college.

00:42:37.080 Okay.

00:42:39.260 but how how do i what books or what can i do to show her that we all don't need a living wage

00:42:48.940 collectively we need to work for it and earn it and also with the issue of abortion

00:42:58.940 we've gone a long way since the 60s safe legal and rare right

00:43:04.220 Right. Pardon me?

00:43:06.100 No, I'm sorry. I meant we used to be safe, legal, and rare when it came to abortion.

00:43:10.120 Well, we had free clinics. They gave out free birth control. 0.99

00:43:14.080 They gave out, I was a rape counselor.

00:43:17.560 We had the morning after pill in the 60s and the 70s.

00:43:21.020 Now abortion seems to have taken over what birth control used to do

00:43:27.300 as far as using it yourself, taking care of it yourself.

00:43:32.580 How do I impress on my granddaughters, on the young women around me,

00:43:38.140 that even the young men, that they're going in the wrong direction?

00:43:42.120 It's a great question. 1.00

00:43:43.160 And I mean, with the Biola stuff, your granddaughter is a perfect example 1.00

00:43:46.520 of the type of sloppy theology that they're teaching. 1.00

00:43:49.860 And then she, of course, has a screwed up worldview, right?

00:43:53.000 So that's why I said what I said.

00:43:55.120 Because, for example, at a school like this or a school like Hillsdale,

00:43:59.260 that never would happen, right?

00:44:00.760 because they actually educate properly.

00:44:04.300 It's going to be tough.

00:44:05.620 What you're pinpointing on the living wage stuff,

00:44:08.220 one of my passion projects is to teach economics to pastors

00:44:12.220 because I find that economic literacy amongst pastors,

00:44:15.600 would you agree with that, Andrew?

00:44:16.700 I would.

00:44:17.200 Yeah, is that supply and demand, inflation,

00:44:20.540 gross domestic product, money, velocity,

00:44:23.200 it's just kind of an unknown thing.

00:44:25.200 And I think it's really beautiful.

00:44:26.920 If you think about it,

00:44:27.740 if we believe that God designed the heavens and the earth

00:44:29.600 and everything within, and that God gave us dominion to take this earth for man, for his

00:44:34.480 purpose, then we believe that the laws of physics and the laws of mathematics are all

00:44:38.280 meant as the language of the natural world so that we can flourish.

00:44:41.340 And yes, the laws of economics too.

00:44:43.540 And if you look throughout the Bible, by the way, what is storing up for a famine?

00:44:48.520 That is the law of economics, right?

00:44:50.080 It's the law of scarcity at play.

00:44:51.580 So all throughout the Bible, there's some great books on this, so I would encourage

00:44:54.760 with that.

00:44:55.660 But more importantly than ever, how do you impress upon?

00:44:59.640 It's a longer conversation, but you need to get down to morals and worldview.

00:45:03.680 And the most important thing is this, which is what instructs your worldview.

00:45:07.860 If your worldview is not biblical in nature or biblical in root,

00:45:12.020 you're going to get bad politics.

00:45:13.300 You're going to get sloppy morality and sloppy philosophy because of that.

00:45:17.740 So happy to recommend some books, but you are the most important thing.

00:45:21.320 you staying on your granddaughter and making sure that you don't let her go to the dark side.

00:45:25.920 That is your task, and that is your purpose. Thank you.

00:45:28.700 Thank you, Charlie.

00:45:34.880 Hey, Charlie. Thank you so much for coming out.

00:45:37.620 There's a couple big proposals in the Colorado voting right now that are really hard to see

00:45:43.280 and hurt my heart a lot. One, repealing the definition of marriage,

00:45:46.340 and the second one is codifying abortion in the Colorado Constitution.

00:45:49.480 And the specific one I want to get into is they're trying to make it so that the state taxes can start funding abortion health care in the state.

00:45:58.260 So from this point forward, I assume that'll get passed just without Colorado votes.

00:46:02.980 From this point forward, I mean, hopefully we can get it.

00:46:07.240 To be honest, he's probably right.

00:46:08.480 So you have to be, I mean, let me ask a question though.

00:46:10.320 Andrew, what percentage of pastors are speaking out against that amendment would you say in this state?

00:46:14.100 I don't know.

00:46:14.920 Would you guess?

00:46:15.740 I mean, half?

00:46:17.980 5%.

00:46:18.420 well then that thing's gonna pass i mean so don't boo him don't say no if only five percent of

00:46:23.460 pastors are speaking out about against taxpayer funded abortion you guys got no shot right you

00:46:28.900 got 95 of pastors and church is silent and you think that something's going to be defeated

00:46:33.540 but please yeah continue no thank you good point i'm trying to talk to as many people as i can to

00:46:37.700 vote against it but my my moral conundrum is if i stay in the state past that point if it gets

00:46:43.140 passed then my tax dollars will be going to support abortion and so I'm stuck

00:46:47.100 between voting with my feet and moving to a more conservative state to show

00:46:50.340 that these laws aren't okay or staying in a state like Colorado and actually

00:46:54.600 fighting against the laws actively and I I'm not sure what would be more as a

00:46:58.260 very very smart question and I want so first from the federal government the

00:47:08.340 The courts have decided that you cannot fund abortion,

00:47:11.900 not the courts, but they find ways around it,

00:47:14.460 but at least employers can't provide abortifacients 1.00

00:47:18.460 or abortion provided services

00:47:19.780 through employer provided healthcare.

00:47:23.180 I would struggle, Arizona is on a similar trajectory, 0.99

00:47:25.740 unfortunately, we're not having taxpayer funded abortion, 1.00

00:47:28.060 but we have Prop 139 that's gonna allow abortion 0.96

00:47:30.680 up until the moment of birth for infants.

00:47:32.540 I mean, and it's unfortunately gonna pass

00:47:34.240 because we did a poll, only 7% of Arizona pastors

00:47:37.320 speaking out against it and I do have to say something though and I know that this might

00:47:40.900 bother some people and I again you know me but it's you know Catholics are far more outspoken

00:47:46.100 on this stuff than we are guys and I I my mom was raised Catholic my wife was raised Catholic

00:47:52.440 and you know there's a lot of kind of like Catholic anti-Catholic stuff that happens in

00:47:56.960 evangelical circles and I get it I understand it to a certain extent but guys understand that

00:48:01.640 the Catholic faithful is far more outspokenly pro-life than your average evangelical church 0.85

00:48:06.760 And I think that needs to be repeated

00:48:08.300 and that needs to be internalized.

00:48:09.800 I'll just give my example in Scottsdale

00:48:11.140 and I will get to your question.

00:48:12.480 In Scottsdale, the Archdiocese of Scottsdale,

00:48:18.260 Father Klein has said,

00:48:19.220 if you vote for a Democrat this cycle,

00:48:21.160 you are in rebellion of the Catholic church.

00:48:23.380 Like, do not take communion.

00:48:25.860 Like, that's a big deal, right?

00:48:28.700 And we don't hear that kind of moral teaching very often.

00:48:32.240 So I personally would struggle to live in a state

00:48:35.040 where my taxpayer-funded dollars went for abortion.

00:48:37.400 I'm not saying we're going to move.

00:48:38.920 I'm doing this on the fly, though.

00:48:40.560 It would be very difficult for me to work as hard as I work,

00:48:43.900 to pay as much as I pay in taxes,

00:48:45.680 and know that would go towards the slaughter of the unborn. 0.96

00:48:48.820 So you make what's right for you.

00:48:50.000 I'm not saying to leave the state.

00:48:51.200 There is an equally as good moral argument to stay and fight.

00:48:55.060 Okay?

00:48:55.420 And so I want to make sure you're hearing me correctly,

00:48:57.700 but I would struggle with that.

00:48:59.320 I would.

00:49:00.760 Thank you.

00:49:01.240 God bless you.

00:49:05.040 Hi, my name is Thomas Pascal. I am, first of all, it's nice to see you firsthand Charlie and to

00:49:13.840 the great pastors and great speakers and the presentation. I would have to say, you know,

00:49:18.660 as an independent radio show host for decades since Trump declared his running for president

00:49:24.000 and, you know, to be on the front lines on this and the right side of history, by the way,

00:49:28.960 I got two questions. One of them is what happens if they don't certify the election? And not only

00:49:37.680 that, how do we stop the steal, especially with everything that's happening in this country

00:49:42.880 right now? So the first question is a super smart question. And that is not getting enough

00:49:49.340 attention. And I'm intentionally not covering it on my radio program and podcast because it's not

00:49:54.560 relevant yet, and it will be, but we have a whole plan for it. Guys, we have Jamie Raskin saying

00:49:59.900 that if they win the House of Representatives, that they might not certify Donald Trump as the

00:50:04.440 winner. Now, these are the people that attack Donald Trump for even asking questions about the

00:50:08.140 2020 election. So what's the solution? Guys, we have to keep the House of Representatives for

00:50:14.260 that reason and that reason alone. And you guys have seats here in Colorado that are going to

00:50:18.980 really matter. And so you might not, Colorado might not send its electoral votes for Trump,

00:50:23.760 but it very well might decide

00:50:25.680 whether or not Trump can actually serve

00:50:27.080 as President of the United States.

00:50:28.760 And so you have to win these House of Representatives seats.

00:50:30.720 That is such a smart point.

00:50:31.920 Do you guys understand what he's talking about technically here?

00:50:33.720 If you're not, let me just explain it to you.

00:50:35.600 Is that even though if you win the Electoral College,

00:50:37.660 the Electoral College meets in mid-December,

00:50:39.540 you guys remember they transmit their votes

00:50:41.360 all the way to Congress.

00:50:42.500 Congress meets on January 6th

00:50:44.000 to go through a performative, quote unquote,

00:50:45.980 ceremonial vote, as they say now,

00:50:47.760 but the House of Representatives

00:50:48.740 can decide not to certify the election,

00:50:51.020 which of course what they attacked us for back in 2020

00:50:53.220 for asking the questions about the sloppiest, most fraudulent election in American history,

00:50:57.960 and yet this time they're saying they won't do it because he's a felon or that all this sort of

00:51:01.660 stuff, and they might do it. These people are not just going to hand over power back to us

00:51:05.920 and to Donald Trump. So there is a plan, the easiest, quickest plan. We control the House

00:51:10.360 representatives. We can do it rather simply, and you guys need every blue state that says that you

00:51:14.980 guys don't have to partake in getting Donald Trump elected. I want this to be clipped up,

00:51:18.900 and every blue state voter in California, New York,

00:51:21.600 vote for your Republican House of Representatives

00:51:24.040 because you're actually voting it as a proxy

00:51:26.340 for Donald Trump becoming president of the United States.

00:51:28.680 It's incredibly important.

00:51:31.020 Very good.

00:51:32.920 To the other part, how you stop the steal,

00:51:34.820 we're not gonna completely stop it.

00:51:36.400 We have some better laws

00:51:37.280 thanks to David Barton in certain states.

00:51:39.060 Georgia's cleaned up some stuff.

00:51:40.520 We're too late in the game, honestly, for some of it.

00:51:42.600 We need poll watchers and all that stuff.

00:51:44.260 The most assured way is that we have to overwhelm the system

00:51:47.200 with so many ballots and so many people

00:51:49.320 and do what we did in 2016 and make it too big to rig.

00:51:51.960 Thank you so much. Appreciate it. Thank you.

00:51:55.820 Hi. My name's Kenzie. I'm 21.

00:51:59.540 I am a first-generation Coloradan,

00:52:02.240 a first-time homebuyer this year,

00:52:03.760 and I just got married two months ago.

00:52:07.940 My question for you is, within your family,

00:52:12.620 how do you make conscious, healthy decisions

00:52:14.740 with our food system being as bad as it is?

00:52:17.740 Also, what has to take place in order for America

00:52:20.860 to turn around their overall health issues?

00:52:23.840 I love this question, by the way.

00:52:25.420 And it's a very important biblical question.

00:52:28.420 And I think one of the sins that the church

00:52:30.740 is most guilty of is sloth

00:52:32.260 and the inability for us to call out sloth within the church.

00:52:36.280 And I will talk about that.

00:52:37.960 I got one person applauding

00:52:39.300 because it's not a popular thing to say.

00:52:41.560 But let me first say, I love that you got married young.

00:52:44.740 when we as Christians are not doing a good enough job

00:52:47.360 of celebrating young marriages.

00:52:49.220 In fact, we see, I see pastors be like,

00:52:51.340 oh, wait till your late 20s or early 30s to get married.

00:52:54.460 I mean, where does this come from, guys?

00:52:55.940 I mean, we need to do a better job

00:52:57.760 of celebrating the covenant of marriage

00:53:00.360 and having children in the church, right?

00:53:02.500 Amen.

00:53:03.340 So,

00:53:06.900 so I love that you got married. 1.00

00:53:08.220 Have Mormon levels of children, okay? 1.00

00:53:10.260 So, 1.00

00:53:11.100 To the point about making healthy decisions, you know, I'm kind of a crazy person when it comes to

00:53:20.120 this stuff, right? I don't eat sugar. I eat very, very few carbohydrates, right? I eat like five

00:53:24.980 different things, fast every day. You know, I'm a hawk with this. Obviously no drugs, no alcohol,

00:53:29.440 none of that stuff. And that's how I'm able to, you know, do 18 hours every day, talk 11 hours a

00:53:34.160 day, travel the country. And the scriptures tell us it, that your body is a temple. And what you

00:53:39.560 put into your body is actually a form of worship or of desecration to the Lord and you need to be

00:53:46.420 reminded of that that since your body is a temple if you are putting substances that actively hurt

00:53:51.340 your body but consume your flesh then you aren't using your body as a way to elevate to the Lord

00:53:56.420 and so how can we get back to a more healthy track this is why I'm thanking God that Bobby

00:54:03.520 Kennedy has endorsed Donald Trump and is part of his agenda. I could give an hour-long speech on

00:54:11.420 this. I won't, but I'll just kind of isolate a couple figures that I think are important.

00:54:15.720 Japan has 3% of their 15-year-olds that are chronically obese or overweight. Half 50% of

00:54:22.860 our 15-year-olds are chronically obese or overweight. 25 years ago, autism was one in

00:54:29.900 10,000 kids. Now it's one in 25 kids. Something is happening, and it's the environmental pollutants.

00:54:37.680 It very well might be that ridiculously aggressive childhood vaccination schedule. I'm not here to

00:54:42.300 tell you what to do with your kids, but you got to use some logic and common sense here. If you

00:54:46.040 are just pumping vaccines into a beautiful six-month-old baby, you guys make your own

00:54:52.380 decisions. That's the end of Charlie Kirk's commentary on that. But I'm a big medical

00:54:57.500 freedom, I'm a big medical freedom advocate on that. But most importantly, I think it is the

00:55:02.460 food and the food supply. If you just take one example of hundreds, for example, Kellogg cereal.

00:55:08.800 Kellogg cereal in America, if you put up Kellogg cereal versus Canadian cereal, Kellogg cereal in

00:55:15.180 America is colored with blue dye 22 and xanthan gum and red dye 84, which is illegal and forbidden

00:55:23.280 in Canadian cereal, and these ingredients have been shown to increase likelihood of autism,

00:55:30.920 behavioral disorder issues, attention deficit disorder issues, and yes, obesity. This is so

00:55:36.520 bad, everybody. Let me tell you what the Democrats' plan is for this and what Donald Trump's plan is,

00:55:40.180 which is two different things, and I know we're running out of time, but it's so important.

00:55:43.140 The Democrats are about to authorize Ozempic to be used for 13-year-olds on the Medicaid schedule

00:55:49.260 as a way to treat obesity.

00:55:51.320 They don't even want to talk about diet,

00:55:53.100 activity, or nutrition.

00:55:54.480 We are actively poisoning our youth.

00:55:56.780 What Donald Trump will do

00:55:57.860 is he will send Bobby Kennedy in

00:55:59.680 like a heat-seeking missile

00:56:00.980 into the FDA and the CDC.

00:56:05.920 And he will blow up the food pyramid.

00:56:08.660 He will get rid of these people 0.96

00:56:09.880 that use this fake science

00:56:11.620 that's saying,

00:56:12.600 oh, actually, highly processed foods

00:56:14.060 are good for you, 0.99

00:56:14.960 which is a bunch of garbage and nonsense. 0.99

00:56:17.140 We will promote from the top down 0.98

00:56:18.680 a whole food diet where it's not heavy on rice and grains and potatoes and elevates lean proteins

00:56:24.880 and healthy fats, which literally is what helps create brain material. Raw brain material literally

00:56:30.340 comes from healthy fats. We've demonized fats, even though fats are what's the most necessary

00:56:34.980 thing for you to live. There are three types of food, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Only

00:56:39.240 one of those you do not need, two of those you do. Proteins and fats you need to live. You don't

00:56:43.360 need carbohydrates. The one thing you don't need to live is the one that we elevate more than

00:56:46.360 anything else in this country and so can go on at length and it's what we as

00:56:50.080 Christians should care about our neighbor love your neighbor as yourself

00:56:53.320 and if your neighbor is actively being poisoned by your big corporations it's

00:56:57.160 time to say no more Donald Trump will do that with Bobby Kennedy another reason

00:57:00.560 of over him thank you

00:57:06.080 all right hello can everyone hear me cool all right my name is Luke I am 18

00:57:12.340 years old. It's my first election coming up. I am voting for Trump. Yeah. A lot of supporters

00:57:20.700 in here. All right. So I got two questions for you. They're kind of, they're not really

00:57:24.040 similar. So I'm going to start with the first one. Back in 2020, when I paid attention to

00:57:28.900 the election with Biden's campaign and him versus Trump, they didn't really push on Biden's

00:57:35.900 campaign too aggressively to the best of my knowledge. It didn't look like they were trying

00:57:40.460 at least as hard as they are for Kamala. And it just got me wondering, do you think they are scared

00:57:45.940 to cheat again in any sort of way? Because they are trying so much harder to push Kamala than

00:57:53.140 they were for Biden. And I feel like they feel like now they cannot cheat in the same way they

00:57:57.660 did before. Do you feel like they are scared to cheat? Scared might be one explanation for it.

00:58:03.260 I also think that we're watching. Don't discount citizens watching and the eyeballs that we have

00:58:08.460 on this um i i can't really read into the liberal psyche except i will tell you this they are very

00:58:14.300 worried that they're on the precipice of her collapsing completely it is happening in real

00:58:18.220 time uh her poll numbers are diving they're not having the voter registration numbers they wanted

00:58:23.100 voter turnout is not what they want you saw that brett bear interview i mean what a disaster that

00:58:27.260 was for her oh my goodness right by the way brett bear where did that come from thank you brett bear

00:58:32.620 right send you a signed maga hat i mean i thought it was great um yes what's your second question i

00:58:38.460 want to get to as many as possible yeah and the second question is for an 18 year old you know

00:58:42.380 starting out in this broken economy thanks to the biden campaign and kamala and all of them

00:58:48.380 what do you think the best advice for just an 18 year old just starting out in life

00:58:52.700 is uh as of right now um it's a great question first of all the best investment are things that

00:58:58.620 that you can invest in yourself.

00:58:59.920 So the knowledge base,

00:59:01.520 take Hillsdale online courses,

00:59:02.740 the books that you read.

00:59:04.900 Look at life as to what you ought to do

00:59:07.160 and what you need to do,

00:59:07.880 not what you deserve

00:59:08.780 and not what you think you're entitled to.

00:59:11.280 The sooner as a young man you realize

00:59:13.040 that you have a duty to your country,

00:59:14.840 to the divine,

00:59:15.620 to build a family and have kids,

00:59:17.180 not that the world has to send you something,

00:59:19.260 the happier you will be,

00:59:20.120 the more productive you'll be

00:59:21.020 and the more meaningful life that you will live.

00:59:23.040 So finally, which is this,

00:59:25.220 which is when you are young,

00:59:26.840 take the risk that you will regret

00:59:28.420 not taking when you're older going to college is largely a waste of time unless you go to this

00:59:32.340 college um if you want to start a business start a business at a young age if you want to travel

00:59:37.140 the country start a travel country at a young age and finally save yourself for marriage and

00:59:41.860 elevate purity and do not do not share your sexual experience with other people purity culture must

00:59:48.900 be celebrated and elevated more in christian circles and it's kind of been cast aside find

00:59:53.060 a woman to marry get married and have lots of children and defend that family and provide for

00:59:57.460 for that family as the man of that family.

00:59:59.060 Thank you.

00:59:59.740 Thank you.

01:00:06.160 So I have more of like a personal question.

01:00:09.440 With how like busy your schedule is and everything,

01:00:12.000 I'm just wondering how you keep your relationship

01:00:14.280 with Jesus, like the main thing in your life practically,

01:00:17.240 day to day, like how that looks

01:00:18.740 because you're doing so many good things, good works,

01:00:21.320 just how that looks like.

01:00:22.640 Well, it's one of my favorite questions

01:00:24.240 because actually what my next book is gonna be all about,

01:00:26.300 which you'll have me back, my next book is called

01:00:28.660 Stop in the Name of God, The Case for the Sabbath,

01:00:32.060 which of course, Shabbat literally means stop.

01:00:34.840 I am not Seventh-day Adventist,

01:00:36.940 but I do believe that the Shabbat or the Sabbath 0.94

01:00:40.820 is the mystery, the secret that so many Christians overlook

01:00:44.780 that is the gateway to allow you to observe

01:00:47.740 the other nine commandments and to put Jesus first.

01:00:50.180 I'm not saying this in a legalist way.

01:00:51.640 I'm not even saying that you're biblically commanded 0.64

01:00:53.700 to do it.

01:00:54.160 I'm saying you're missing out if you are not obeying the Sabbath.

01:00:57.160 That's what I am saying.

01:00:58.360 I'll tell you my own life.

01:00:59.520 I turn off my phone on Friday night.

01:01:01.020 It goes back on on Sunday.

01:01:02.300 When I fly back, it is all family, all Saturday, maybe a little college football, but things

01:01:07.140 that I enjoy.

01:01:07.760 It says in the scriptures, what does it say?

01:01:09.920 For six days you shall work, and the seventh day you shall rest.

01:01:13.900 Let's remember what the Bible says about the Sabbath.

01:01:16.080 God himself rested on the seventh day. 0.88

01:01:18.160 It is the only of the Ten Commandments, which is a ritual, and that means it's pretty darn

01:01:23.160 important.

01:01:23.600 In the Jewish tradition, it is the holiest of all days, equivalent with Yom Kippur.

01:01:29.360 It is a standing celebration in time of which you say what?

01:01:33.240 Thank you, God, for creating the heavens and the earth.

01:01:36.140 We are commanded to say praise of thanksgiving to God at least once a week in a ritual way.

01:01:41.800 Say, God, thank you for life.

01:01:43.480 Thank you for putting this all in existence.

01:01:45.720 Thank you for giving us what we have around us.

01:01:47.800 So I believe in a country where we are so distracted, that we are so suffocated,

01:01:52.740 that we are flooded with texts and emails

01:01:55.300 and pings and dings and Netflix and Hulu

01:01:58.040 that maybe we look back to the scriptures

01:01:59.860 of the thing that we're missing

01:02:00.920 that a country where we used to shut it down for one day

01:02:04.020 and here is the test. 0.89

01:02:05.520 Are you ready for the Sabbath test?

01:02:07.200 The Sabbath test is this.

01:02:09.100 If I cannot walk into your home

01:02:11.100 and tell that it's the Sabbath 0.98

01:02:13.060 because it looks like every other day,

01:02:15.060 you're not honoring the Sabbath.

01:02:17.460 If it looks like every other day,

01:02:19.380 then you aren't dedicating one day to God.

01:02:21.840 Yes, you should give money to the church.

01:02:23.540 Yes, you should give money to charities.

01:02:24.960 But I'm challenging you, give one day, give time to God.

01:02:30.360 The thing that we're the most protective of,

01:02:33.000 and it's changed my life.

01:02:34.020 I started doing this back a couple summers ago.

01:02:36.140 It allows me to honor my parents better.

01:02:38.060 It allows me to put my marriage first.

01:02:39.220 It allows me to put Jesus first and God first.

01:02:41.000 When I'm not just looking at emails and text messages all day,

01:02:43.380 you might say you're too busy.

01:02:44.940 Look, I'm busier than you.

01:02:46.060 I'm sorry, hate to pull rank on this one, guys.

01:02:47.960 Okay, you aren't more busy than I am.

01:02:50.040 You might have more stuff going on, okay, but it's the question of what matters most.

01:02:54.080 What I love about honoring the Sabbath is that it's a test.

01:02:56.640 It's God putting a test, saying, obey my commands.

01:02:59.700 We are called in the scriptures to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind.

01:03:03.920 In Deuteronomy 6 through 5, if you honor the Sabbath, it makes it so much easier, sweeter, and deeper.

01:03:10.300 That's how I do it.

01:03:10.880 Thank you.

01:03:13.100 I think this will be the final question, yeah?

01:03:16.940 Hey, Charlie.

01:03:17.880 I'm Luke's dad.

01:03:18.660 and I grew up being mentored by a friend of yours

01:03:23.300 that we all miss, Rush Limbaugh.

01:03:25.320 Discovered him when I was in high school.

01:03:27.100 Wasn't Rush the best, everybody.

01:03:28.480 I miss Rush every day.

01:03:30.380 And I'm a children's pastor

01:03:32.780 and so I have a ministry there

01:03:34.800 but he inspired me to start my own business.

01:03:37.600 I'm not gonna mention it

01:03:38.400 because I don't wanna look like I'm promoting it.

01:03:40.940 But he inspired me and taught me, trained me.

01:03:44.580 He did a lot of what you do

01:03:45.700 where he didn't just comment on the things of the day

01:03:48.240 but he trained and he taught and he educated the whys behind his responses to the current events.

01:03:54.220 And that's what I appreciate about you.

01:03:55.500 And I wanted to say, in a lot of ways, you're an answer to prayer.

01:03:58.360 Because when I became a dad to Luke, and I say became a dad, my son's adopted.

01:04:03.540 He came into our home as a baby.

01:04:07.120 And by the way, you're equally a father as a biological father.

01:04:09.740 I want you to know that.

01:04:10.360 Yes, amen, amen, amen, amen.

01:04:13.460 But I wish there was a Rush Limbaugh for my son.

01:04:19.520 And I just want to say thank you for what you are for the young people of our country.

01:04:26.060 Because Rush played such a role in my life.

01:04:29.340 I know you got to meet him.

01:04:30.860 I love that sound clip at the beginning of your show where he says, folks, he's running the White House.

01:04:36.120 And I know you're very proud of that.

01:04:37.660 The hilarious story.

01:04:37.900 I'll tell it to you.

01:04:38.400 That is quite a quote.

01:04:39.720 The question I have for you, Luke has, he's 18 now.

01:04:42.800 He's finishing up homeschool, and he started his own business.

01:04:46.720 What advice would you give to my son?

01:04:49.060 But to young people, there's great freedom, there's great independence,

01:04:53.020 there's great ownership, there's great pride and confidence

01:04:55.340 that comes to starting a business.

01:04:57.200 Not everyone knows, although your fans know,

01:04:59.560 that you started Turning Point at 18.

01:05:02.500 Look what it's become.

01:05:04.100 You became an advisor to the President of the United States in your 20s.

01:05:07.680 I'm not trying to give you strokes, but I'm trying to say.

01:05:10.580 What would you say to young people?

01:05:12.880 What advice on starting a business, being independent,

01:05:16.980 pursuing that American dream?

01:05:18.700 Because they're not teaching that to kids today.

01:05:21.540 Rush taught that to me.

01:05:23.540 Teach that to us briefly if you can.

01:05:25.580 Yeah, so I, thank you for that.

01:05:27.880 And yeah, just, you're right.

01:05:29.100 I graduated high school, took a gap year.

01:05:31.160 It's been 12 gap years and we'll see if I go back.

01:05:33.920 So yeah, so the, to start a business,

01:05:39.080 it's a long question.

01:05:40.060 I know we're over time already,

01:05:41.140 but let me just say this when it comes to start a business,

01:05:43.200 which is that going to zero to one is the hardest thing.

01:05:45.700 It's the hardest interval.

01:05:46.720 Be unafraid to ask for help.

01:05:48.140 Find someone who is good at your craft,

01:05:50.060 who is great at your craft,

01:05:51.380 and try to mentor under them

01:05:53.060 or work for them for a short period of time.

01:05:55.060 Still are their best practices,

01:05:56.540 but the most important thing

01:05:58.080 about starting a business as an individual

01:06:00.440 is that doesn't matter if you're doing aluminum siding,

01:06:02.700 a carpentry business, a plumbing business, auto mechanic.

01:06:05.780 It does not matter.

01:06:06.980 It's that the individual entrepreneur itself

01:06:09.760 is a consistent theme.

01:06:11.200 Number one, how you act in private and public

01:06:13.420 must be consistent.

01:06:14.260 Be a person of higher integrity and honor.

01:06:16.520 That is important.

01:06:17.340 You will not make it as a fraudster or a huckster.

01:06:20.440 The best thing about market principles,

01:06:22.200 it's hard to build a big business over time

01:06:24.380 while lying to a bunch of people.

01:06:25.660 You get a bad reputation, no one wants to work for you,

01:06:28.180 and your business falls apart.

01:06:29.320 So integrity is number one.

01:06:30.780 Number two, there is no replacement

01:06:33.960 for relentlessness, hard work, grit, and hustle.

01:06:36.460 I don't care about your complaints.

01:06:37.920 Build a better product, right?

01:06:39.520 And it did such good for me being 18, 19, 20 in the space

01:06:42.600 when people thought it was crazy and nuts and all that.

01:06:45.380 And finally, search for your big break because it will come.

01:06:48.260 If you work hard enough as a young person,

01:06:50.240 you would be amazed at how many people that have made it

01:06:52.560 that are willing to give you a contract

01:06:53.880 that you don't really deserve,

01:06:55.400 willing to kind of give you a break that you don't deserve

01:06:56.840 because they feel for you as a young person.

01:06:58.620 Lean into that.

01:06:59.760 I could tell you, you know, you mentioned one of them.

01:07:01.860 I had no business getting to know Rush Limbaugh.

01:07:04.260 He became a mentor, a friend,

01:07:05.700 and he gave a million dollars to Turning Point USA

01:07:07.980 before he died.

01:07:09.040 And it was because he saw in me and maybe other,

01:07:12.760 you know, the next generation that was rising there.

01:07:15.040 So that's the advice I have, but always keep God first

01:07:17.300 and glorify him in all that you do.

01:07:20.180 Awesome.

01:07:22.620 Thank you.

01:07:24.080 Nope.
