Charlie Kirk and Dr Ben Carson Challenge Christians to Save America in 34 Days Through Ballot Chasing
Charlie Kirk delivers an urgent call to action at Dream City Church alongside Dr. Ben Carson, revealing shocking data from George Barna showing Christian voter turnout projected to hit record lows. Kirk introduces the Commit 100 strategy, challenging Christians in Arizona to chase 100 ballots each during election month, potentially delivering 200,000 votes. Dr. Carson draws parallels between ancient Israel's battles and today's spiritual warfare, addressing everything from the 320,000 missing children at the southern border to the crisis of masculinity in American churches. With Arizona's Attorney General decided by just 270 votes last cycle, Kirk argues this room of 2,000 people could determine Western Civilization's fate.
Record Low Christian Turnout Threatens Election
Charlie Kirk opened the Freedom Night in America event at Dream City Church with alarming data from George Barna showing Christian turnout is projected to be 12% lower than 2020 and 17% lower than 2016. Kirk didn't mince words about the stakes, stating that wokeism has infected the American Church and too many pastors are afraid to stand on principle and truth.
Kirk emphasized that Christians will be held to a higher standard for fighting for the nation, The Unborn, children, and liberty. He challenged the audience directly, saying Christians have no right to complain about leaders not being pro-life enough if they don't show up in big numbers to vote.
The Commit 100 Strategy
Kirk introduced the Commit 100 program, challenging attendees to ensure 100 low propensity voters cast ballots for Donald Trump. With nearly 2,000 people in attendance, Kirk calculated this could generate 200,000 votes in Arizona, a state where the Attorney General won by just 270 votes in 2022 and Trump fell short by 11,000 ballots in 2020.
Kirk explained that Dream City Church will host a secure ballot drop box starting next week, allowing people to drop off ballots at church rather than random street locations. The drop box will have 24/7 security with only authorized county personnel having access.
He urged Christians to embrace election month rather than waiting for Election Day, noting that Democrats flood Arizona with thousands of full-time workers knocking on doors. Kirk argued the movement is too big to fit everyone voting on Election Day alone, and giving supporters more days to vote increases turnout among plumbers, electricians, welders, police officers, single moms, and nurses working doubles.
Proposition 139 and Abortion
Kirk issued a stark warning about Proposition 139, which would make Arizona the most radical pro-abortion state in the country with no restrictions and late-term abortion as the norm. He called it reason enough for every Christian to vote, stating the opposition is lying and deceiving through propaganda. Current polling shows it will likely pass unless millions of Christians and pastors speak morally clear about what's happening.
Kirk challenged those who say Trump isn't pro-life enough, pointing out that Christians first need to show up in massive numbers to defeat pro-abortion ballot referendums before complaining about candidate positions.
Voting for Teams, Not Just Candidates
Kirk made the case that voters aren't just choosing between Trump and Harris, but between two teams of 5,000 people who will make decisions affecting everyday life. He explained that when a president is elected, a transition team with a Blue Book selects 5,000 people who make decisions about whether men shower with daughters, whether churches are deemed non-essential, whether babies need 72 vaccines for daycare, what food six-year-olds eat, and whether drag queens or alpha males run the military.
Kirk contrasted the two rosters: Harris would bring Alejandro Mayorkas keeping the border open and Anthony Fauci-type personnel, while Trump would appoint Bobby Kennedy to the cabinet for public health decisions, Elon Musk for the Department of Government Efficiency with Starlink, and Franklin Graham as counsel on religious liberty. He cited JD Vance's vice presidential debate performance as evidence of Trump's ability to choose quality people.
Dr. Ben Carson on Fear and Faith
Dr. Ben Carson joined Kirk on stage, receiving a warm welcome. Carson addressed Christian reluctance to engage in politics, citing Billy Graham's belief that it's wrong to complain about society without getting involved in helping fashion its direction.
Carson tackled the objection that both sides are bad and Christians don't want to vote for the lesser of two evils. He stated that unless one candidate is Jesus Christ, you're always voting between the lesser of two evils, so Christians should use their God-given brains to distinguish between helpful and harmful policies.
He posed a powerful question: Do you hate a particular person more than you love your children and grandchildren? Carson reminded the audience of Benjamin Franklin's famous quote when asked what kind of government the Constitutional Convention created: "A republic, if you can keep it." He warned how close America is to losing it, with the justice system being weaponized against political enemies.
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness
Carson pointed to the Declaration of Independence stating rights come from the Creator, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. He said it doesn't take a great intellectual to figure out which side is for life and which is for death.
Drawing on his experience as a pediatric neurosurgeon, Carson described operating on premature babies at 25, 26, and 27 weeks gestation who needed anesthesia because they could feel everything. He contrasted this with late-term abortions where forceps grab limbs without anesthesia, pulling and twisting until an arm, leg, or other body part comes out. He called this barbaric and questioned whether America is any better than ancient societies that sacrificed children.
Carson referenced Proverbs 24:11-12 about the responsibility to help those drawn unto death and about to be slain, noting that God who sees and knows everything knows what each person did or didn't do. He emphasized the responsibility extends beyond the unborn to homeless people, most of whom are either addicted to drugs or mentally ill.
Addressing Addiction and Homelessness
Carson explained that housing first policies don't work, with 90% of homeless people ending up back on the street. He shared insights from the head of the American Psychiatric Association that the vast majority of mentally ill homeless people could become functional with medications and supervision.
On addiction, Carson noted that most addicts would love not to be addicted and would wear out a button to end their addiction if one existed. He explained addiction is a physiological process in the brain that's extremely difficult to overcome, requiring compassion and professional help. Without understanding this and providing appropriate intervention, society just adds to the numbers.
The Marxist Threat and Intimidation
Carson explained that Marxism, socialism, and communism thrive on intimidation through political correctness, woke ideology, and cancel culture. He emphasized Christians must recognize that persecution may come from being vocal and aggressive, but against the backdrop of eternity, a little persecution in this life is insignificant.
He shared a childhood story about overcoming his fear of dogs after a man told him dogs won't bother you if you act unafraid. Carson tested this with Rusty, a nasty dog in his neighborhood who came running, barking and snarling, but just sniffed his leg and went back to the porch. From that day forward, Rusty never bothered him because the dog knew he wasn't afraid.
Carson drew the parallel that the same thing will happen with Marxists in society if Christians are brave enough to trust God and do what needs to be done without worrying about silly threats, because God is ultimately in charge.
The 320,000 Missing Children
Kirk highlighted one of the biggest border issues: 320,000 missing children in just the last four years who are now prostitutes and sex slaves for the cartel. He explained that drug cartels shifted from selling drugs to selling human beings, getting $10,000 per person.
Kirk emphasized that slavery is alive and well, referencing James O'Keefe's new documentary "Line in the Sand" showing border patrol agents blowing the whistle. They report being told by superiors, including Mayorkas and Harris, to get as many kids in the country as possible with people who aren't their parents. These unaccompanied minors get thrown to pimps, and 13-year-olds become sex slaves for life while the government co-sponsors and facilitates it and the media doesn't care.
Carson responded by citing Jesus saying it would be better for a millstone to be placed around someone's neck and thrown into the depths of the sea than to lead children astray. This shows how the Lord feels about children and protecting them.
The Science of Life and Child Development
Carson provided a detailed scientific explanation of fetal development, describing how at fertilization a zygote with 46 chromosomes forms, creating a complete genetic map for a new person, not part of the mother or father. The brain starts developing immediately with millions of neurons daily, later billions per day.
He explained that when a baby is born, the brain is still developing at a terrific rate, which is why newborns sleep 20 to 22 hours daily. Brain development continues right into the mid-20s.
Carson called it child abuse that adults in school systems and other locations tell 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13-year-old kids with non-developed brains that they may not be a girl or boy. He emphasized that God gives children parents to protect them when they're vulnerable.
Getting Involved in Civic Life
Carson challenged people to get seriously involved in the legislative process, perhaps as state representatives or school board members, to ensure child abuse doesn't happen. He said it's not just failing to vote but failing to get involved that's hurting America. Christians need to be leaders and wield power in these areas.
He pushed back against the cultural message that religion and politics are two things you should never talk about in public, saying those are exactly the things Christians need to discuss because that's where the attack is coming from. With an election approaching, it's the perfect time.
The Breakdown of the American Family
Carson addressed how American families are being dismantled and not forming. People aren't getting married or are marrying late, and women aren't bearing children. America is down to 1.6 births per woman when it takes 2.1 to maintain the population.
He explained that families are where values are passed through. If children don't get appropriate counseling and guidance from parents, they get it from somewhere else. This explains what's happening on college campuses with kids proclaiming Hamas as the victim when they destroyed the lives of 1,400 Israelis on October 7th.
Carson said these students don't know the history of the Holocaust, hatred, or anything about Jacob and Esau, Ishmael and Isaac, or any relevant history, making them easily manipulated. He noted that Marxists always dumb down the population first so they can gaslight people, which is exactly what's happening in American society.
Questions from the Audience
During the Q&A session, attendees asked about exposing Kamala Harris's real character beyond her rolled-out persona. Carson responded that Harris was the most left-wing senator and destroyed San Francisco as DA and California as Attorney General. The pattern is set for what she would do as president. He noted her far-left base isn't mad at her, which proves she hasn't actually moved off those positions.
Kirk added that if Harris wins, there will be 30 million new illegal people in the country within two years, all getting amnesty. She will pack the Supreme Court and add DC and Puerto Rico as states, ensuring Republicans never win again.
The Gender Divide in Faith
One attendee asked about a Fox News post showing men pouring into church pews and flipping the female trend on faith for the first time in modern American history. Kirk explained that men are the most conservative and religious they've been in 50 years, while women are the most liberal and least religious in 50 years.
Kirk attributed this to the culture women are ingesting, including pop artists like Taylor Swift glorifying a non-married, single, career-driven boss babe culture about body sovereignty without morals or objective truth. The screed for that worldview is abortion as a way to declare sovereignty.
This worldview contradicts religion because when you enter a church, you acknowledge you aren't the boss of your own life, that there's a God and you aren't Him, and you should bow at the cross where Jesus died for you. The culture tells young ladies to freeze their eggs, get on hormonal birth control, and not need support or a man, creating the least married, most oppressed, most suicidal, and most anxious generation of women in history.
Meanwhile, young men ingest culture from Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, and others presenting a perspective that masculinity is good, that God built a world with distinctions between male and female, good and evil, man and nature, and holy and profane. You fit into these distinctions through hierarchy, above animals but below God.
Kirk explained that masculine content leads eventually to the Cross, while cultural content for young ladies leads further away. He called for better godly female role models who can be female Jordan Petersons laying out a deep, biblical, exciting, and thoughtful philosophical worldview.
The Church Must Stop Feminizing Its Approach
Kirk clarified that stopping feminization doesn't mean women can't be involved in ministry. It means watering down the truth of the Gospel to avoid offending somebody. Women are generally more agreeable and far less likely to say something that might offend others because of how God made them.
Men are more likely to say something blunt that might offend a group and be an outlier. Women want to fit in, which is why they're more likely to be part of social contagion, more likely to be trans, cut themselves, be goth, or part of suicide cults due to hive-mindedness.
The solution is for the church to get back to preaching the Word of God as written, not trying to put it through a worldly secular lens. This also explains why women don't seem upset about men playing in women's sports. If you study second and third-wave feminism, transgenderism is the logical endpoint. It was never about women's rights but about sympathizing with anyone who identifies with the struggle of a woman.
Final Challenge and Call to Action
Kirk closed by reminding attendees that the room of nearly 2,000 people could deliver Arizona for Donald Trump and save the country and Western Civilization. He emphasized that everyone is present for such a time as this, referencing the Book of Esther.
He countered the enemy's message that individual actions don't matter by pointing out the Arizona Attorney General won by just 270 votes in 2022, and Trump fell short by 11,000 ballots in 2020. If everyone in the room finds just six new Trump voters, that exceeds what Republicans fell short of in 2020.
Kirk's message was clear: this election is within grasp, it will be close, and the opposition is desperate, having tried to impeach, indict, and assassinate Trump. Since he still stands to fight for everyone, the least people can do is fight for him by downloading the Turning Point Action app, signing up for Commit 100, and chasing ballots for the next 34 days.
Video Transcript
thank you everybody please take a seat thank you thank you all right so tonight is a little bit different than most Freedom night in Americas tonight uh this entire programming is brought to you by turning point action which is our political arm at turning point which means I can openly talk about what's going to happen in 34 days which is little election we have happening here in this country and in this state and so uh it's very important we talk about this uh there is a survey that just came out today that shows that Christians viewing this election turnout is going to be the record low for Christians of this election it's amazing and and by the way it's George Bara who did the study in fact let me read this to you and I I I got to tell you I believe it the amount of apathy and the lack of concern that Christians have for the country is remarkable now of course we're the exception here and there is time to fix it but let me go into this data CU I couldn't believe it I I messaged George bar I said come on so two scientific polls were out this week they say that Christian turnout is at is projected to be a 12% decrease from 2020 and a 177% decrease from 2016 now I know those of us that are believers we find this hard to believe right which is how could the stakes be any higher but we know what's happening we know that wokeism has infected the American Church we know that far too many pastors are afraid to stand on principle and stand for truth and everybody let's be very clear that we as Christians are going to be held to a higher standard of whether or not we fight for this nation fight for The Unborn fight for our kids and fight for liberty and we as Christians have no right to complain that our leaders are not as pro-life as we are which I'm very pro-life if we don't show up in big numbers and vote you see I'm on uh you know I talk to a lot of pastors he well Charlie Trump is not as pro-life as I'd like him to be I get that I'm 100% pro-life I know you guys are too but are we showing up in millions and millions of numbers to defeat the pro-abortion ballot referendums and by the way I think Kathy Herod is here somewhere I made a promise I was going to mention this to her where is Kathy I don't know if she's here okay what is the number is it 138 I get these 139 139 thank you I have to memorize all these other states grant me Grace okay it's like 121 in Florida and all this 139 every Christian that is reason enough for you to go vote to vote down prop 139 do you guys know what I'm talking about and this would make Arizona thank you there it is that's a great sign right there this would make Arizona the most radical pro-abortion state in the country no restrictions late term abortion capital of the country and they are lying and deceiving and propaganda now I just want to to be honest with you that the polling shows that it's probably going to pass unless the millions of Christians in this state and pastors will speak morally clear about what is happening with prop 139 but this is the problem everybody is that the biblical intent for government is that God is Sovereign over all and that there is government and we are the counselor to the government like Daniel like Esther Mori Jeremiah Nehemiah that we are the cons of the nation as the church that we correct our leaders we replace them when they error that we call the Bible calls right from wrong and we say what the Bible says which is no it's actually not okay to call a man woman and a woman man it's not okay to have men and female sports it's not okay to have an open border but only because of the Bible are we able to even say what is good and what is bad and what is evil and what is wrong and what is male and what is female you see what's happened though is the church has been fed the LIE that you don't have to get involved in politics well don't be surprised when the church is no longer involved in politics when all of a sudden your politics become less Godly and your government becomes less Godly and then churches say well that's too messy well the church is messy too what's your point you see we have an opportunity in front of us and I truly believe that God has voted early in this election I believe that God voted early on July 13th when he spared the life of Donald Trump in Butler Pennsylvania I really believe that and the media they mock me when I say this but how many more instances do we need to see that God is not yet done with this country that God is not yet not yet done with America and the stakes are very clear in front of us and since tonight is brought to you by turning point action we can get right to it and I don't have to mince words I will say this and some people aren't going to like it and I'll say the first which I don't think is very controversial and the second one which you know we'll will'll build out number one I do not believe that if you love the Lord read the Bible and call yourself a Christian that you can vote for KLA Harris for president of the United States I do not believe that is possible now people are going to say Charlie you shouldn't judge let me be clear if you love the Lord there's no way you can vote for someone that worships abortion as the state-run religion in the United States of America if you love the Lord there is no way you could vote for a ticket that turns a blind eye to 320,000 kids that been sold into sex slavery from the southern border that's happening right here in this state if you love the Lord and you read the Bible there is no way you can be okay with Easter Sunday becoming transgender day of awareness that happened under Joe Biden and KLA Harris now according to Barna one and three Evangelical Christians are going to vote for KLA Harris those are Barn's numbers I'm not making this up how is this possible because we have water down the gospel to affirm people's sin not to challenge people in their sin and bring them the Redemption in Jesus Christ those are two totally different things a watered down gospel is how we receive all of a sudden people say well maybe kamla Harris is better because she's nicer let me tell you right now she is not a nice person but you know what they say well Donald Trump is mean and all these different things people that never met Donald Trump before but do you know what maybe it's time that we have a Samson as president that is willing to stand up against our enemies look the Mexican drug cartel in the eye and say you're not going to be putting fenel in the communities of Scottdale Peoria Good Year in Queen Creek anymore looking gii ping in the eye and saying you know what you're not going to be able to keep on dumping manufacturing Goods in this country you see you're not even just voting for Trump or Harris and this is the second part of this you are voting on which team of 5,000 people better fits your world viiew it's not Trump versus Harris when a president is elected there's a thing called the transition team and a transition team has what's called the Blue Book and the blue book has 5,000 people that are selected and those 5,000 people will make decisions of whether or not men will shower with your daughter those 5,000 people make decisions of whether or not the church will be deemed non-essential again those 5,000 people make decisions of whether or not that your precious 6-month-old baby needs 72 vaccines to be able to go to daycare those 5,000 people will make decisions of what kind of food that your six six-year-old will eat or will not eat those 5,000 people make decisions of whether or not we're going to have a drag queen running our military or an alpha male running our military those 5,000 people matter a lot more of whether or not well I don't like Trump because he's not very nice you are not thinking deeply about this election it's which roster of 5,000 people better fits with your worldview which 5,000 people is going to make sure that your kid lives in a free stable and secure Society you see we know the type of 5,000 people that kamla Harris will bring she will bring Alejandra mayorcas which will keep the Border open she will bring in Anthony fouchy who do I have to say anymore imagine 5,000 more Anthony fouches where Donald Trump who's he going to put in his 5,000 roster Bobby Kennedy in the cabinet to help make decisions about public health he's going to have Elon Musk help with starlink and the department of government efficiency he's gonna have Franklin Graham counsel him when it comes to religious liberty this is not even a close call everybody you see they want to try to personalize this election and and we saw on display how good Donald Trump Trump is at choosing people last night when JD Vance won the vice presidential debate last night am I right this is how you know JD Vance loves the Lord by the way love joy peace patience kindness goodness gentleness and self-control how he was able to hold it when he was debating those three women last night was unbelievable to me stoic amazing legendary stuff everybody here's the kicker though if we don't turn out the church Christians our neighbors our friends we might win the polls and we will lose in the count you live in a state that matters more than even Utah so guess what to much is given much is expected you don't get to be a spectator this election everybody you don't get to just watch Fox News bu the pillow and hope everything's going to work out instead I'm going to challenge you tonight to go to many of our uh booths in the hall and join what we call commit 100 let me tell you what commit 100 is is anyone part of commit 100 here it's tough by the way again there's only a few hands up because most people are lazy and don't want to do the work I'll be honest most people would rather hope that Trump becomes president and thinks that showing up to event is doing the work guess what that's nice it's not commit 100 is that you're going to find and we'll show you the data to do it it you're going to make sure 100 low propensity voters go out and vote for Donald Trump 100 now mind you I'm told that the bottom here fits about a thousand is people right what's the what's the floor almost 1500 okay almost every seat here is filled so let me tell you the power of this audience if if if everybody here about 2,000 on the bottom all right let's just say 2,000 great we'll do Trump math 2,000 okay so um we got 25,000 people here so um we got we got 2,000 people if everyone here chased a 100 ballots that would be 200,000 low propensity voters now let me tell you everybody it is time I know this makes you uncomfortable it's time for those of us in Arizona to embrace something that we hate I wish that everybody showed up on Election Day and showed a photo ID and we voted in person but you guys know that's not how voting Works in Arizona it is election month and next week ballots are sent out all across the state here and if we are serious about winning this election it is time that we encourage people that are less likely to vote to vote in the election month period not just hope they show up on Election Day remember what happened with car Lake when machines were failing and long lines we can never let that happen again so the commit 100 is this this is the secret weapon of the 2024 election is that what if all of us that support Donald Trump and want him back in the White House and want his agenda to be implemented is that we say that we are going to do the work to make this election too big to rig and if we do that we will be able to say you know what it doesn't matter what the polls say or the propaganda or the news networks and here's how you can help and here's where it gets really fun do you know that dream City Church starting next week will have a DropBox a secure Dropbox for people to have ballots right outside here at church so you might say but I I don't trust putting it in the mail that's fine drive your friend and drive them here to Dream City Church and drop off the ballot here at Dream City Church it'll have 2473 uh 247 security only people from the county that are allowed to actually count ballots will be able to have access to that Dropbox it won't be happening on the side of the street so instead of just handing it off to a random Dropbox on the side of the street say I'm going to go to my church to drop off my ballot and what a way to honor God with your vote and your ballot by saying that we're going to have a drop boox right here and by the way give it up for Dream City for wanting to have a DropBox here on campus how great is that really great so I'll say this in closing before I welcome Dr Ben Carson when we're done you guys can sign up to go to commit 100 you guys can download the Turning Point action app where it's so easy you open up the Turning Point action app and it will show you which of your neighbors haven't voted yet and then you can oh yeah you can nag them and relentlessly bother them until they send in their ballot be like hey Sally suar I know that ballot is not in yet and once we see the ballot is in on our side we remove them from from the app and we give you another house to go bother you see we have to become polite naggers for Trump the next 34 days everybody because here's what the Democrats do they will flood the valley with thousands of full-time people knocking on doors and we say oh you know we're going to make it too big to rig on Election Day honestly our movement is too big we can't fit everyone to go vote on Election Day and since we have more supporters than they do shouldn't we give our team more days to vote not less days to vote now I'm telling you how to change to change how to vote if you want to vote on Election Day and you're cool waiting two and a half hours in line and having the machines fail again like it was for car Lake fine go vote on Election Day but guess what the plumber the electrician the welder the police officer the single mom the nurse working a double I want her to vote early so that she's not disenfranchised on Election Day like those hundreds of thousands of people were in the car Lake election and most importantly I want to make sure they vote at all instead of not voting and getting in the system I'll say this in closing we'll welcome Dr Carson this room right here could deliver Arizona for Donald Trump this room could save the country and save Western Civilization I want you to look around nearly 2,000 people here tonight think about it you are here for such a time as this it says the Book of Esther you are told by the enemy all the time what you do doesn't matter oh it's millions of votes one vote doesn't matter no no no no I'm here to tell you that the Attorney General of this State won by 270 votes last time in 2022 Donald Trump fell short we all know what really happened fell short by 11,000 ballots in 2020 that means that if everyone in this room just finds six new Trump voters that is more than what we fell short of in 2020 what I'm trying to do is Empower you and challenge you that this is right within our grasp this thing is going to be really close and they are desperate they've tried to impeach him indict him and assassinate him and he still stands to fight for all of us now the least we can do is fight for him join me in welcoming a truly honorable man and our guest tonight Dr Ben Carson everybody so I I I I did a poor introduction uh Dr Carson uh of you but I just want to say this Dr Ben Carson is one of the most impressive and important people of Our Generation and I can say this if all young people but especially the black youth of this country would be told and taught of Dr Ben Carson as a role model this country would be in a much much better place well you know that used to be the case they would tell a lot of the young black children about me until they became convinced that I was a conservative and then all of that went away at that point but let me just say this and it's not just because he's sitting here but when you read the Bible ancient Israel had a lot of incredible people who help to guide that society and I think in this murder day God has given us someone as Brave courageous and intellectually Superior as Charlie Kirk you know we were talking about the fact that a lot of the Christian evangelicals are sitting on their hands sitting on the sideline and complaining I was uh reading recently about Billy Graham and how he felt about that and how he felt that it was very wrong to complain about what was going on in society and not get involved in helping to Fashion the direction of society and a lot of Christians in particular say but both sides are bad and I don't want to be in the position of voting for somebody who is not what I think should represent us I don't want to vote between the lesser of two evils you've heard that said I'm sure many times well the unless one of the candidates is Jesus Christ you're always voting between the L of two evils so that's why we should use these incredible brains that God has given us to distinguish between policies that are helpful and policies that are not because there are certain individuals that some people just detest because they don't like their tweets and things like that I'm not mentioning any names but do you hate that person more than you love your children and your grandchildren you know that's what you got to think about these things have to be put into perspective and you know it was Benjamin Franklin when he came out of that Constitution Hall in 1787 and he was asked sir what do we have here a monarchy or a republic and he famously said a republic if you can keep it look how close we are to losing it right now you have these crazy people who are using the justice system to go after their political enemies who would have ever thought that that would be possible in this country and yet it is happening right before our eyes now I hope that the person that they're going after actually goes up in the poles because people can see that I'm not mentioning any names but I hope that people can actually see what is going on and isn't it interesting that our enemies people like Iran are trying to kill this person they wouldn't be trying to kill him if he wasn't an existential threat to them and nor would the Deep State be trying to kill him if he wasn't an existential threat to them we have to get behind we have to get behind the right people and look at the beginnings of our nation look at our founding document the Declaration of Independence it says that our rights come from our creator AKA God writes like life liberty and the pursuit of happiness now you don't have to be a great intellectual or academician to figure out which side is for life which side is for death and this is something that is particularly sensitive for me because as a pediatric neurosurgeon you know I spent many hours sometimes up all night oper ating on little babies many times premature babies 25 26 27 weeks gas station and I will tell you they needed anesthesia they could feel what you were doing and yet when people go after them in late term abortions there's no anesthesia they reach into that uterus with a forcep and grab a limb and Pull and twist and outcomes an arm or leg or some other part of the body with no anesthesia can you imagine how barbaric that is and we have the nerve to talk about some of the ancient societies and how they sacrifice children and how they were Heathen are we any better when we do things like that we do have a responsibility it says in the Book of Proverbs 24th chapter verses 11 and 12 what about those who are drawn unto death who are about to be slain the innocent ones did you say anything did you do anything and does not he who sees and knows everything know what you did we have a responsibility to help those who cannot help themselves and I'm not just talking about babies who haven't been born yet I'm talking about people who are out there in our midst you see all of these homeless people for instance most of them are either addicted to drugs or are mentally ill and housing first doesn't really work it gets them off the street temporarily but 90% of them end up back on the street and we have a gradually increasing number of such people I talked to the head of the American Psychiatric association who said that the vast majority of those people with medications and supervision could actually become functional individuals and then as far as the addicts are concerned unless you have familiarity with addiction it's it's hard to understand what goes on with those people but the vast majority of addicts if they could push a button and they would no longer be addicted they would wear that button out they would love not to be addicted but it's not easy you get up in the morning you say okay I'm done I'm turning over a new Leaf within literally hours you're at it again because it's a physiological process that occurs in the brain and it is very difficult to overcome it requires compassion and real professional help to get over things like that but unless we learn that and we do that in an appropriate way we're just adding to the numbers and uh that is not helpful to us as a society so we've got to use the brains that God has given us and then as far as the concept of Liberty I've talked about life liberty which party which individuals push for liberty for you being able to lead the life that you want as long as it's not interfering with somebody else and which party pushes for mandates you must do this and you must do this and interfering with your life it's not too hard to figure that out is it and you think about the fact that instead of allowing what has worked so well in a capitalist society which is letting Market forces Drive where the efforts are put we use mandates we Short Circuit the system and we don't make the same kind of progress it was because we had a system that encouraged entrepreneurship and Innovation and rewarded people for their success that's why the vast vast majority of inventions starting in the middle of the 18th century were starting to come from this country and by the time we reached the 20th century it was overwhelmingly from this country that those things were coming because we had a system that encouraged and rewarded it it is nothing there's nothing wrong with our system but we allow the marxists to convince our young people that it is can you imagine being a young person today and the things that they're being subjected to it's done on purpose because the marxists want a One World Government and what is the major obstacle to that it's called the United States of America and our principles so so Dr Carson Christians are are in a place that is new Billy gram compared socialism and communism to the religion of Satan uh Billy Graham was a crusader against Marxism and communism uh we saw the moral majority in the 1980s and 1990s where pastors were willing to speak out we there's 34 days for the election here there are many Pastors in the audience and people that influence pastors and millions of people watching online what should the message be and why is it that pastors have been reluctant to speak out like Generations prior I think the message should be that we the people of Faith by sheer numbers have the ability to control the direction of our country but if we sit on our hands it's not going to happen so I think we have an obligation for all of those who are coming behind us to get off of our tises and actually get out there and do something because you're doing it for your children and for your grandchildren for all the people who are depending upon you and we can change it what we have to understand is that Marxism socialism communism they thrive on intimidation that's what they do that's what political correctness and woke ISM and cancelling people is all about intimidating them and we have to recognize that sometimes if we get out there and we're aggressive and we're vocal that yes we may in fact be persecuted the Bible says that but against the backdrop of Eternity what is a little persecution in this life we have much bigger goals that we we have to be thinking about and allowing your life to be controlled by fear is a real mistake I remember when I was a Youngster I was definitely afraid of dogs I'd be going to school and I would be late because I would almost be there and there would be a dog and I have to go all the way around the block and come back a different direction and then there'd be another dog and but then I met a man and he said Benny a dog will not bother you if you're not afraid of it or at least if you act like you're not afraid of it they will never bother you I said are you sure about this he said absolutely no question about it so I said I'm going to test this out because there was a dog down the street named Rusty who was really a nasty dog and nobody like to go down that way so I said I'm going to go down there I go walking down there and Rusty sees me and his ears perk up and he starts licking his chops and he comes running after me barking and snarling and ran right up to me and I said this is a mistake but then he just sniffed my leg turned around and went back to the porch and you know from that day forward Rusty never bothered me he would bother other people but when I walked by he didn't bother to get up because he knew I wasn't afraid of him and that's the same thing that will happen with these marxists in our society we just have to be brave enough to trust in God and get out there and do what we need to do and not worry about their silly threats because who is ultimately in charge and I have and I have to admit that you know not being fearful was key to my Neurosurgical career as well you know there are many people in my field who wouldn't do things because they were afraid and I remember there was one young man who had a disease called van hippol Linda where you develop these very vascular tumors throughout the nervous system and he had developed one right in the ponds in the brain stem a very delicate inoperable area and none of the adult neurosurgeons would touch him unfortunately for me his wife was a pediatric neurosurgery nurse and she worked on the floor where most of my patients were so I couldn't Escape her and she said she said you're going to have to operate on my husband and I said but I'm a pediatric Nur surgeon and she said well he acts like a child and so you know she kept twisting my arm until I finally went to see him and I said Craig where this tumor sits if I operate on you there's no better than a 5050 chance that you will survive you will likely die on the table and he said doc if you don't operate on me there's a 100% chance that I'm gonna die I said that sounds pretty mature well they were very faithful Christians and we spent a lot of time praying I decided to take them to the operating room went down to the area of the brain stem a lot of new blood vessels had grown in to feed the tumor it was very complex but I was a under the high powerered microscope clear a small area on the brain stem and make a little incision and use a probe to find where the consistency was different because I would know that's where the tumor was used some micro forceps reached in and grabbed the so I couldn't see it I could just have to fill it take another micro instrument start teasing the uh tumor away from the tissue and as I was starting to see the tumor as was starting to come out of the hole the anesthesiologist announced that the brain stem potentials had gone flat the electrical activity that shows us that there is brain activity and he said I told told you you were going to kill him CU he had been very much opposed to the operation well continued the operation and got the tumor completely out no brain stem activity and at the end of the operation of course he didn't wake up went back to the ICU full life support a lot of prayers that night but when I came in in the morning morning he was excavated sitting up in the bed telling jokes wouldn't would have not have done that if I had not felt confident that God was behind me I wouldn't have done that for a lot of things that I did knowing that God is there and we have to recognize no matter how Grim things look in our society he is there and if he was willing to save Solomon gomorra for 10 people we got this we got this we don't have to worry about that at all so so Dr Carson there are so many issues facing the country right now and you you detailed it perfectly um the border is one of the biggest ones and we're here in a border state as I mentioned 320,000 missing kids I just want you guys to understand that 320,000 missing children in just the last four years that are now prostitutes and being used as sex slaves uh for the cartel um just so you understand that the drug cartels they went from selling drugs they still do that to selling human beings uh they get $10,000 ahead uh per person so it's you know we we talk a lot about about slavery in this country as if it stopped uh slavery is alive and well and just go down to Yuma and I could show you the slave trade uh in fact there's an amazing new documentary that James O'Keefe has that's coming out called Line in the Sand it's amazing you guys should see it um it's so chilly where you know these border patrol agents they are now blowing the whistle saying that they are told by their superiors so mayorcas and kamla Harris to get as many kids in the country as possible with people that are not their parents that they have no idea who these people are and these are unac these are unaccompanied minors that then just get thrown to a pimp and this 13-year-old then just goes and you know is a sex slave for the rest of their life and our government is co-sponsoring and facilitating it and the media could not care less like the media does not care about this at all and this is not even talking about the the gang problems with trende aara or the Haitian problem in Springfield that's all separate this is just the children part of it Dr Carson in the Scriptures it is repeated about what happens to a society or a people or individuals that mistreat children your thoughts on the horror of what's happening on the southern border well I hope some of you saw the the movie The Sound of Freedom there were many attempts to suppress that movie for strange reasons but uh uh you know Jesus said suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of heaven and that for anyone who led children astray it would be better for a millstone to be placed around their neck and be thrown into the depths of the sea that tells you how the Lord feels about children and about protecting those children and you think about a young child think about fertilization when it occurs and you've got a female gamet 23 chromosomes a male gamet 23 chromosomes then fertilization occurs and you've got a zigo with 46 chromosomes a complete genetic map for a new person not part of the mother not part of the father a new human being and that brain starts developing immediately millions of neurons every day later on billions of neurons a day and inner connections when a baby is born that brain is still developing in a terrific rate which is why newborn babies sleep 20 to 22 hours a day the brain continues to develop right into your mid 20s some people it never develops but uh but on average that is the case now think about the implications of what I just said in our school systems and in other locations you have adults telling 9 10 11 12 13 year old kids with non-developed brains that they may not be a girl or a boy think about that isn't is that the reason that God gives children parents to protect them when they're vulnerable like that it is nothing short of child abuse that we're dealing with and we have a responsibility to speak up for those children to do what we can and I hope that many of you will think seriously about getting involved in the legislative process process maybe as state representatives uh as Schoolboard people to make sure that these things don't happen because it's not just not voting it's not getting involved that is hurting us we need to be leaders in these areas we need to wield power in these areas and you're told from the time that you're a little child that there are two things you should never would talk about in public religion and politics those are the exact things we need to be talking about because that's where the attack is coming from and now is the perfect time because you know there's an election coming up I'm a 501c3 so I can't tell you who to vote for but I I can but I can I can tell you it's pretty clear that our country is moving in the wrong direction and you look at how our families are being dismantled and not forming you know people are not getting married or they're getting married late women are not bearing children we're down to 1.6 births per woman it takes 2.1 to maintain the population we're dwindling away and the families are where the values are passed through so if children are not getting appropriate conseling from their parents and guidance from their parents they're going to get it from somewhere else and this is what you're seeing on these college campuses with these kids running around you know proclaiming Hamas as the victim when they're the ones who destroyed the lives of 1400 Israelis on October the 7th uh about a year ago but it's because they don't actually know the history of what's going on they don't know about the Holocaust they don't know about hatred they don't know anything about Jacob and Esau and ishmail and Isaac or any of the history of the things that have been going on and as a result of that they become easily manipulated one of the things that Marxist do is they dumb down the population they always do that first so that you can Gaslight people and that's exactly what's happening in our society today you see those men on the street interviews and they ask them the simplest questions and they have no idea it must hurt to be that stupid but but but the fact of the matter is that has to be done for you to say things like the border is secure with millions of people coming across some of whom are terrorists by the way and it is only the grace of God that is saving us right now because we've got a lot of them in here right now and we have to pray that God will honor his faithful and save our country but also to give us some real leadership amen let's do some questions guys if you want to start lining up for questions um I want to remind you two things please support Dr Ben Carson's nonprofit the American Cornerstone Institute uh very important and secondly I'm going to keep on challenging you throughout the night to after we're done spend an extra 5 minutes before you run to your car and go to those tables and find out how you can make a difference this election even if it's two votes three votes five votes 10 votes our team is ready willing and able to put you to work okay um where are we are we prepared on either side yeah let's start um this side's a little light so we can start moving there but uh let's start here with the let's go Brandon t-shirt or actually we'll start with the other gentleman um then we'll get to the swing voter with the let's go Brandon shirt yeah undecided all right yeah we'll start on this side hi I'm George wood I want to know if we can do something more than we're doing to con to show that KLA Harris's roll out is not the person that she really is there have been so many people that have been leaving her staff as vice president that may have also been happening when she was Attorney General we need to have someone come forward and tell us what it's really like to work and be around KLA Harris well that's a good uh question you know here's where Common Sense comes into play kamla Harris was the most left-wing senator in the Senate and look at what she did when she was in San Francisco as the da destroyed that place what did she do in California as the Attorney General destroyed that place and what would she do as president destroy the whole country the pattern has already been set but the reason that you know that she has really not moved off of those far leftwing philosophies that she has is that her left base is not mad at her if they were if they really thought she had moved off they would be piping mad and they not so that tells you exactly what you need to know it's a very smart point that they know that it's all just rhetoric to try to get political power if she wins there will be 30 million new illegal people in the country in two years they will all get amnesty she will pack the US Supreme Court she will add DC and Puerto Rico EST States and we will never win an election again exactly besides that everything will be great yes Dr Carson I want to thank thank you for um your character I so admire you thank you very much for being here thank you I've been trying to weaponize people's voices with the greatest war in the Covenant because I believe we're at war between Satan's marionet and God's Warriors and there's no middle ground not to act is to act not to speak is to speak why is the greatest war in covenant not being talked about has God all over it and you would think that that would be front and center well I think more people are starting to talk about it as particularly more pastors we were on a call today with thousands probably tens of thousands of pastors along with President Trump and Paula White talking about how do we disseminate this information how do we get it out there it's going to require a lot of effort we've only got 34 more days to do it but if everybody uses their sphere of influence in an appropriate way I think we can make the difference when you're looking at states where the difference between winning and losing is five 10 15 20,000 votes that's not a lot of votes in a state and if we can get organizations like this one if everybody here makes it their goal not only to vote but to get everybody in their sphere of influence to vote the right way we're going to be just [Applause] fine ready Bob Baker Dr Carson uh when you ran for president I was living in California I went up to a rally in Sacramento for you and I was so impressed I volunteered to be your campaign manager for Ventura county in California so thank you I think a lot of you Dr Carson why isn't our side when we have debates on abortion it's always about the woman's body why aren't we stressing the baby the baby that's inside the mother why aren't we talking about you mentioned the anesthesia you know and that those babies are suffering tremendously in their womb why AR we talking about them doctor well that's a very good question because have you noticed that when somebody murders a pregnant woman they get two counts of murder but when they just murdered the baby they're upholding women's rights you know that doesn't make a lot of sense we need to start talking about how these things don't make sense and you know a relationship ship that is one of the most sacred relationships on Earth that of the mother and child should not be made into one of animosity where one is inconvenient and one of the things that we have to recognize as a society is that we have to provide Alternatives we have to make adoption much easier and less expensive we have to we have to have support mechanisms and we need to start teaching our young people a word that they don't know anymore it's called abstinence and one one other thing I might just mention about a abortion and being pro-life we have people who think life begins at conception I'm one of them we have people who believes starts at six weeks when there's a heartbeat some who think it starts at 15 weeks when there's sensation doesn't matter which one of those groups you belong to we're all under the same pro-life umbrella and we need to stop fighting each other other and recognizing that we're moving toward a society that honors life that's really the key and we're going to do much better with conversion of people than we are going to do with coercion of people just teach them what is going on and help them to understand that that's why so many young people are pro-life because they've seen due to technology what is actually in that uterus and when you see those little arms and legs and that cute little face and that nose and lips it's really hard to say that that's a meaningless bunch of cells hi I saw a post from Fox News this last week that said men pour into church pews and flip the female trend on faith for the first time in modern American history why do you think men are gravitating to the faith so much more than women and do you see this as a hope for America's future I'm going to give that one to Charlie yeah um I saw the same the same uh article actually I wanted to do a a podcast episode on it but um been a busy news week with everything um so look men are the most conservative that they've been in 50 years they're also the most religious they've been in 50 years um which is amazing and women are the most liberal they've been in 50 years and the least religious they've been in 50 years and uh let me tell you why the culture that women are ingesting is complete poison from the pop artists yes like Taylor Swift and many others that glorify a non-married single career-driven boss babe culture that is all about body sovereignty on aomy not about morals or objective truth um and the screed for that worldview is abortion okay that abortion is the way that they tell the world that I'm in charge and you are not and that I have my own sovereignty and nothing butresses up against that worldview more than religion because by definition when you enter a church you actually aren't the boss of your own life that there's a God and you aren't him and you should bow at the cross that Jesus died for you and so that worldview comes in just complete contradiction to any person but especially a young lady that is being told the entire life that you're you're the boss of your own life you don't need support you don't need a man you know you should just freeze your eggs get on hormonal birth control and I'm not here to judge anybody that does those things but we can agree that the culture is very very sick right now for young ladies they're the least married most oppressed most suicidal most anxious generation in history now young men are the exact opposite they're suffering but they're ingesting culture that is a lot different they're ingesting culture that is Jordan Peterson or Ben Shapiro or Matt Walsh or the Charlie Kirk show or any one of the you know these diff where it's a different perspective which is masculinity is good God built a world that has distinctions and the distinctions are male and female and good and evil and man and nature and holy and profane and the way that you fit into those distinctions is a hierarchy you're above the animals but below God so you better get right with God because you aren't God and so the through line of masculine content and you see this with the rise of so many of these people for example the conversion of Russell Brand and people like that that are becoming more religious in their approach is that it leads you eventually to the Cross where the cultural content that young ladies are putting in their life leads you further and further away from the cross and so you see this in politics and religion and so it's a great thing long ter so if you were to say Charlie would you rather have young women be religious or young men it's difficult but probably young men because eventually once the young ladies get married hopefully the men will lead them towards Christ if they get married though and that's the tragedy is that young ladies are increasingly saying no to marriage they're increasingly saying no to Children um and it's a toxin and we need better Godly female role models that can be the female Jordan Petersons that can lay out a deep and biblical and exciting and thoughtful philosophical worldview that a young woman that is currently quite honestly drowning in this sea of postmodernism can attach to and I see it on these campuses where again we have we have a ton of support by the way we're at Grand Canyon University today we registered 7 50 new voters for Trump today great work guys yeah that's right was really great so I don't want to you know paint with too brought of a brush but we have never seen young men this conservative and young ladies this liberal we've never seen this divide before and it makes sense and the church this final thing I'll say is this is the church needs to stop feminizing its approach that doesn't mean I'm not saying that women camping invol in Ministry I'm not saying that feminizing your approach is watering down the truth of the Gospel to make the emotionality and to make it seem as if you can't say something blunt that is true because you're worried about offending somebody else I I love you know women of course and I love all people but women are far less likely to say something that might offend others because they are more agreeable because God made women more agreeable men are more likely to say blunt and not angel I know angel you're the exception for that I'm kidding no um no or Aubrey but um generally and we see this a man is more likely to say something that might offend a group and be an outlier where a young woman is far less likely because they want to fit in this is why women are more likely to be part of social contagion more likely to be trans more likely to be you know cut themselves more likely be goth more likely be part of suicide Cults so on and so forth because young ladies are more agreeable towards the kind of hivm mindedness where young men are not again this is just nature you can't you can disagree with me this is just the way that God made us so what is the solution the solution is the church needs to get back to preaching word of God as it is written not trying to put it through a worldly secular lens you know that might explain that might explain why women don't seem to be upset about men playing in women's sports that is exactly right that is such a profound point which is we have heard forever thank you for bringing that up where are the feminists where are the feminists if you study second and third wave feminism transgenderism is The Logical outpoint of feminism it was never about women's rights it was about we're okay with anyone who sympathizes with the struggle of a woman that was always the Betty Fran SC kind of creed if you go back to the Feminine Mystique you go back to the original complaints of the 1950s 60s and 70s they're okay with the Trans thing because they say oh they want to be like us that's cool anyone could be part of the woman Club when again that is against like biological reality but also by definition they're AF more also afraid of the fight and the osterized the trans jihadis bring so if you stand up against a trans Zealot by definition you are being disagreeable in this culture right you are inviting cancellation Oster you're inviting a fight that's why men are the ones that are more likely to stand up against the trans part of it that's why there's not a lot of Riley gains out there there's not a lot of people stand because they say well I I don't want to be you know an outcast and so it's perfectly put Dr Carson and that is why I've said all along it should be up for the dads of these daughters to fight on behalf of their daughters to make sure that men are not in their Sports good evening thank you so much hey Charlie um Dr Carson I just want to say I'm so um thrilled that you did not listen to the people that try to discourage you from publishing your book um the perilous fight um like you I did not grow up in a traditional nuclear family our parents divorced when we were young and like you I'm also a huge advocate for the traditional family um my question tonight is about government agencies and the data that they put out um so Charlie on your podcast recently Rec you said um it's not a quote um but you said we can't trust the FBI the CDC the doj Department of Education Secret Service um you also said we can't trust Harvard so if we can't trust these government agencies and I don't then why should I trust the data that they put out when they say that 70% of children born in this country that look like me are born into a home without a father and more than 50% of violent crime in this country is committed by people that look like me um why should I trust that data uh I'll I'll start with it um you should always verify your sources in multiple places uh that's really the only solution for that kind of thing um the CDC certainly our governmental health agencies have done almost irreparable damage to their reputations uh over the covid crisis and it's going to take a long time to repair that but the Deep state is very deep and it uh TR verus multiple agencies and that's the reason that they're so afraid of a particular candidate because he recognizes that they need to be cleaned out and that's why they'd be willing to do virtually anything to make sure that he does not become president it's a great question um so part of the problem with these agencies is the data it's not everything um some of the data that they publish is legit for example really hard to falsify murder statistics right you got a dead body it's either dead or not right and a lot of that is locally sourced um really hard to um falsify like annual mortality rates super easy to falsify death from Co right was it from covid or with covid totally right so that's totally that's very legit from the crime statistics a lot of that is locally sourced so it's state and local and County crime statistics that are then set up to the FBI so that's usually more accurate and it's been third or four party checked but the biggest problem with the institutions is less about the data and it's more about what they do with the data so let me give you an example um with Co within 30 days we knew what the covid death rate was for people that did not have pre-existing conditions that were not chronically overweight and were under the age of 50 we knew that data and the CDC knew it and you knew it yet they still decided to lock down the entire country and mask your kid and to make you have wear you know a mask when you shower and shut down all the schools all that stuff and so so there's there's two reasons for this it's it's less about the data it's more about number one the way our institutions are constituted because we want strong institutions is that it's a reverse meritocracy that you ascend by failure not by Excellence that Anthony fouchi climbed the ladders of NIH by failing and covering up on scandals his entire career read Bobby Kennedy's Book by the way the real Anthony fouchi you'll see and not by having great ideas but instead being a creature and an organism of Washington so it's the way that we choose personnel and then number two the culture of our government agencies is far more about status quo protection and Elite capture than it is about serving the interest of the American people so the CDC is far more interested in making sure that fiser astrogenic madna Johnson and Johnson are never held accountable for vaccine injuries than they are actually trying to promote the public health and the best person on this again is Bobby Kennedy so a final example I could talk about this all day long is the FDA so the FDA will we all agree on the data you go to the FDA they will say Okay half of all kids are chronically obese half okay 50% of our kids are obese Japan 3% of their kids are obes so what is the FDA solution the FDA solution is not more activity or to change the food guidelines or to go after the poison of pesticides in our food their solution is taxpayer fun o zic for kids not a joke so we agree on the data half our kids are obese the FDA says what we need is we need taxpayer funded Medicaid for kids to inject themselves on a permanent injection for the rest of their life only if you are a proxy or a employee of a Danish Drug Company could you believe something as insane as that right so I don't trust the institutions for those reasons some of the data I do trust but it's more what they do with the data that I think is the biggest problem great question thank you hello Dr Carson and Mr Kirk my name is Ray Ray I'm a student at GCU so one thank you so much for coming today we really appreciate that um my question today is I got a lot of friends at GCU that um frankly believe their vote doesn't matter and the stakes this election um you know they say it every year that the stakes this is the biggest election ever held um and this one that might be very true for so how can I lovingly convince them that their vote does does matter and it actually is going to count towards something um and just you know get involved with politics without you know being super corrupt yeah I I would suggest you have them look up the Congressional Record for January the 10th 1963 in which congressman herong of Florida rid in the 45 goals of Communism in America and see how many of them are true and recognize that we are Pawns in a game and are being manipulated and the only way that we can stop it is exercising the power of the vote which our founding fathers left in the hands of we the people knowing that one day we would reach this stage that there might be a time when government could not be trusted but that the people could be that's the only way and you got to convince them of that yeah so are these people that think that their vote is going to be stolen or is that yeah I I think so I think they also think that um they frankly just don't matter and there's too many other opinions that differ from them okay so yeah again this is I I don't know the specific details of this case I gotta be honest though of all the objections that I hear in my career someone telling me that they don't have four minutes to fill out a piece of paper to save the country is the one where I have like no patience okay these people will wait in a 45-minute TSA line to go on vacation in Orlando and they won't fill out a piece of paper that is 4 minutes so that we can save the civilization okay I have no patience for that whatsoever and I honestly believe and I know I know you'll agree with this I think it's an unclean Spirit from the pit of Hell to like hypnotize us to believe that it's somehow a big waste of time to fill out a piece of paper no it's your duty to do that that's the minimum obligation in a free societ Society like very base minimum minimum and so yeah I I just kind I'm awfully dismissive of it because um we're losing our society largely because of attitudes like that okay we'll take two we'll take a couple more yes yes sir welcome Dr Carson good to see you Charlie uh Charlie I want you to know that my family and I keep your and your family lifted up and we pray for you all the time uh my question is actually for both you but mostly to Charlie my question question tonight is about self-control Charlie I saw you on Charlie versus 25 woke students very inter everyone should see it uh you were surrounded there was one student in particular who said horrific things about your family and it was actually difficult for my wife to watch how did you exercise self-control in that moment if she had said these things to me I fear the outcome would have been different I I actually I have a good humor about it um first of all this is where my faith comes in uh number one that's a very broken individual who obviously does not know the Lord uh who basically like wished death upon my family was really I don't know you you watch it it's hard to watch uh was wishing the most awful things and it's very clear she doesn't have Jesus in her life and so I don't look at her as an obstacle but as an opportunity and I hope that Christ comes into her life and because that's that's no way that someone should talk right um but you asked the question and I think Dr Carson would agree because he has much better self-control than I do way better I mean this guy's a brain surgeon that saved people's lives right I would be all over the place right it would not be good I I don't have self-control I it's a fruit of the Holy Spirit and so when you invite the holy spirit in your life you get things that your flesh does not have um I could tell you what my flesh wanted to do in that moment but we are more than flesh when we invite the spirit into US you become as in Romans 12:2 it says says do not conform to the ways of this world but instead be transformed by the renewing of your mind and I I like to believe that when I encounter some of these very hostile aggressive you know college students that it's not my flesh but it's the holy spirit that is transforming me into a much better hopefully Holier version of myself because my flesh would love to kind of remark in that instance but we all have things we need to work on self control has definitely been mine and praise God the last 12 years the holy spirit's been at great work on me in that regard two more uh yeah just two more here really quick yes ma'am hi Charlie um I'm also from GCU um I was on the event committee getting people fing out ballots you probably saw me I'm in your video can I pause just really quick again we registered 750 new voters for Donald Trump today at GCU and you you did a great job what's your name again Megan Megan give it up for Megan she was working her tail off today she did great um me and a bunch of other people that I know some of them are here somewhere that I can't find but I know they're here um my question for you is I'm a senior graduating college in April and I know how important it is to speak out about this election and our politics but there's a part of me that worries because I'm trying to find a job after I graduate and there's so many companies that will discriminate against people like me for being vocal about my beliefs especially in the field that I'm in which is cyber security which is very woke um so what's your advice on kind of facing persecution in the job market for your beliefs yeah I would say if they're going to persecute you for your beliefs you don't want to work for them anyway I I will say this you are right the big cyber security companies um are terrible crowd strike being one of them um if I think I think I got that right I think they're actually headquartered here actually or they were or their CEO lives here or something um that was the Hillary Clinton company um it's it's legit here's my piece of advice um it is almost always the right decision to prioritize truth above convenience and and the bridge that makes that possible is courage and you get courage from Christ it won't be easy and it won't be comfortable but we as Christians are not called to comfort we're called to something greater um so I'm not going to sugarcoat it it might be difficult but that is a early test in your life of what you believe and why you believe it because if you take the job at you know crowd strike or some cyber security company and you have to all of a sudden attend transgender trainings and do mandatory White Privilege seminars and that will torture your soul and no sixf fig salary is worth that work two internships at Cisco Systems I had to do all that at both so I understand I will say there is a growing Market thanks to Elon Musk you can go work for starlink by the way I think that would be great um there is a growing world of non-woke tech people and I think you're going to find a great career I'm confident of that thank you okay uh final question here final question Dr Carson I'm so grateful to be able to ask you this question it's come to my uh attention recently that pregnant women young women are using marijuana while they're pregnant for morning sickness or whatever reason in your professional opinion and what you know about the neurology and the development how does marijuana affect the fetus well there's there's not a tremendous amount of research on what it does to the fetus but there is a growing body of evidence that it is very deleterious for the developed brain and people have flashbacks people have all kinds of things that uh destroy their lives I was talking to a young man today at another uh setting who was talking about how marijuana had destroyed his life and how he was so uncomfortable with the increasing attempts to legalize these substances but virtually everything that goes into the bloodstream of a pregnant woman gets to some degree to the baby it is attenuated by this draining system that exists in the placenta but they can't completely eliminate all of the harm that goes there so I would strongly advise any pregnant woman to stay far far away from these deleterious drugs well Dr Carson I know I speak for everyone here thank you for your service to our country thank you for your courage thank you for your Clarity and thank you for your boldness you you are one of our greatest living Americans give giving up for Dr Carson and please get involved everybody we need you guys Chase ballots thank you
