Charlie Kirk and Pastor John Amanchukwa Challenge Wokism, Abortion, and the Destruction of Black Families in America
Charlie Kirk welcomes Pastor John Amanchukwa to Freedom Night in America for an unflinching conversation about the state of the black community, the failures of wokism, and the attacks on biblical truth. Amanchukwu, a former football player with a master's degree from Liberty University and 15 years of pastoral experience, pulls no punches: he calls out how the Democratic Party has betrayed black Americans, how critical race theory is Jim Crow in reverse, and how the destruction of the two-parent family has devastated his community. From abortion statistics to the replacement of black fathers with government dependency, from LGBT indoctrination in schools to the cowardice of pastors who won't speak truth, this conversation exposes the lies that keep Americans divided and offers a path forward rooted in faith, family, and freedom.
Introduction: Speaking Truth Without Fear
Charlie Kirk opened Freedom Night in America with Pastor John Amanchukwa, describing him as someone unafraid to get into trouble by telling the truth. Amanchukwu holds a master's degree in Christian ministry from Liberty University, played football, and has served as a pastor for 15 years. He arrived with his wife Crystal, celebrating 15 years of marriage and their three children aged 12, 11, and 5. Amanchukwu declared himself a country preacher from Raleigh, North Carolina who believes in God's truth and refuses to back down from speaking biblical authority. He defined himself as a pastor who is a watchman, not a wimp, willing to speak truth to power and push back against ideologies harming children and the black community.
The Democratic Party's Betrayal of Black America
Amanchukwu delivered a striking condemnation of how the Democratic Party treats the black community. He stated that blacks have become the chief prostitutes of the Democratic Party, explaining that they screw us and barely pay us, but we keep running back for more. He challenged the notion that black Americans need the government to think for them, pointing to President Joe Biden's comment that if you vote for Donald Trump, you're not black. Amanchukwu questioned why black men and women must have their color questioned when they support school choice over the public education system, celebrate biblical marriage instead of perversion, or support low taxes. He called out the current economic mess, noting that President Biden cut the Keystone Pipeline and created chaos. His central message was clear: America won't escape this mess until the nation turns its face back towards God and puts Him in His proper place, because this nation was founded upon Judeo-Christian principles, not Islam, Buddhism, Taoism, or Scientology.
Critical Race Theory: Jim Crow in Reverse
When discussing his book and the topic of wokism, Amanchukwu called it the loser theory. He rejected the fundamental premise of critical race theory that people are inherently racist because of their skin color, calling it asinine. He explained that racism is not a color but a sin, citing Romans 3:23 that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Since the Bible references sin in general, Amanchukwu argued that all people groups can be racist: black people, Hispanics, Pacific Islanders, Asians, and white people. He declared that critical race theory is the Jim Crow era in reverse, with blacks now doing to whites what was once done to them. He emphasized that it was wrong in the 1960s to disenfranchise minorities because of their skin color, and it's equally wrong today to say whites are inherently racist because of their skin color. His conclusion was direct: critical race theory equals racism, and the church needs to fight it.
Abortion: The Silent Genocide of Black America
Amanchukwu shared a powerful story from the summer of 2020 while ministering at one of the busiest abortion clinics in the Southeast. A black father approached him and told him he was fighting a white man's issue by trying to save babies. On that Saturday morning, 70 percent of the people outside trying to save babies were white, but nearly 80 to 85 percent of the people inside the building prepared to abort their babies were black. Yet this father claimed saving babies was a white man's issue. Amanchukwu called him a liar, explaining that abortion is not a white evangelical issue, and calling abortion murder is not a white evangelical issue. He argued that if the Ten Commandments were put back in schools, it would reduce school shootings because people would understand that God called killing innocent people murder. His book, Erased: Uncovering the Lies of Critical Race Theory and Abortion, provides a biblical approach to tackle the toughest issues of our day, including critical race theory, abortion, wokism, transgenderism, school choice, and LGBT issues.
Pride Month and the Courage Crisis Among Pastors
Addressing Pride Month, Amanchukwu stated that every pastor should speak up about it. He declared that any pastor worth his salt should say something about this month, adding that if your pastor has nothing to say about Pride Month, you need to check his posts, check his allies, and check his drawers because someone's wearing lace. He emphasized that the left is coming for our children, and over his dead body will he allow anybody to attack his family. Standing firm, he proclaimed that a man lives in his house and called for real men and mama bears to make some noise. He stated it's time to fight.
When asked what pastors should say, Amanchukwu pointed to the Bible. He criticized pastors who preach about their vacations, their pets, and quaint stories instead of preaching from Genesis to Revelation. He insisted the Bible is more current than tomorrow's newspaper and that if pastors want to know what's going to take place tomorrow, they should turn to the book. He said many preachers know what to say but hold the truth because they would rather hide it to keep rear ends in the pews. The Bible says if our gospel is hidden, it is hidden to those who are lost. Amanchukwu explained that many preachers are more concerned about resources than the Source. They're afraid to preach against LGBT issues because they might have a child or family member in that lifestyle, or there might be an influential board member with deep pockets. His message was clear: if you want to pull your money out of a local church because the pastor is preaching, goodbye, and let your money perish with you.
The Destruction of the Black Family
Charlie Kirk asked why the black community, which is more socially conservative than white liberals and less approving of transgender ideology according to polls, still tilts toward the political left in leadership. Amanchukwu cited examples like Reverend Jesse Jackson, who once coined the term black genocide and preached against abortion, but when he ran for office, he sold his community down the river and wouldn't touch the issue anymore. He mentioned Barack Obama, the first black president who had a chance to right some wrongs, but the majority of his support went toward Planned Parenthood and the LGBT community. Amanchukwu explained that many in his community are low information voters getting their information from the wrong people. They should expect to hear truth in church, but the pastors are woke and preaching woke sermons, creating a woke pew. Many blacks don't espouse these things but vote one way and pray another.
However, Amanchukwu offered hope, noting there is a remnant of blacks who believe in black excellence, the two-parent family home with both sexes, and who supported Donald Trump. He believes a remnant is coming, and the solution is to continue sounding the alarm, keep the message before the masses, create opportunities for black voices to speak nationally, and turn the nation in the right direction.
From the early 1900s until about 1968, which represents the death of Martin Luther King Jr., the black marriage rate rivaled that of whites. The black community did better under Jim Crow laws than they are doing in 2022. After the death of MLK, Lyndon B. Johnson came in with a New Deal, which Amanchukwu called a sour deal for black America. They replaced the black father with government cheese, providing a handout and a check. While some people need welfare support, welfare was never intended to be a hammock but a safety net. Many people have remained in the government's lazy boy hammock for too long, comfortable and unwilling to work. Generations of parents are not working and living off the government, which destroys the family. When you push dad out of the home, the patriarch is no longer there, and when you lose the patriarch, the family dies. Black men represent five percent of the overall population, and black women represent eight percent, meaning many women may not get married. While the NAACP pushes more abortion and more support toward the left, they are decimating the black community.
Articulate Excellence Is Not Whiteness
Kirk raised the issue of the Smithsonian African American History Museum's claim that a two-parent household, speaking properly, showing up on time, and doing mathematics and science are all whiteness. Amanchukwu called this a lie. It's not white to be articulate. It's not white to walk around with a belt on. He intentionally wore a suit because the media often portrays the black character as a buffoon, and every chance he gets to present black excellence and look properly adorned, he takes that opportunity to project the right message. He rejected the notion that excellence in dress or attitude for blacks is white, calling these lies. In schools, they are attempting to make victims out of black students, teaching them to hate their nation and country. Rap and hip-hop music further angers them and turns them against the white man. Amanchukwu countered that if Hispanics can come to this country speaking English as a second language and become successful, black people don't have an excuse. Asian Americans do well in this nation, and many have two-parent family homes because of the culture they push on their children. They preach education repeatedly, teaching their children to be CEOs, entrepreneurs, and to own businesses. When you do that, you strengthen the family. But when dad is out of his place, you can't put the blame on white people. Black fathers need to take responsibility for the children they have produced and stand in their rightful place.
Amanchukwu mentioned Kamala Harris's promise to astronomically reduce black poverty by providing a $400 check. He immediately responded that he's glad his wife and children don't need the government to give them $400 because his family has a father and a daddy. So many have made a god out of government, and that is the issue.
Police Brutality and the Real Issues
When asked if police brutality is a top 10 or top 20 issue facing the black community, Amanchukwu said he doesn't think it is. He believes there are good cops and bad cops. We should address the bad cops and get on with allowing cops of all races to defend our neighborhoods, protect us, and keep us away from criminals and thugs. He clarified that when a person says thug, people often think of someone who is black, but that's not true. There are thugs in all people groups. During the summer of 2020, we saw white thugs, Asian thugs, Pacific Islander thugs, Hispanic thugs, transgender thugs—all kinds of thugs looting, robbing stores, and burning down CVS pharmacy stores in their own communities while Democratic governors and mayors stood back and allowed anarchists to rule the night. That is a blot upon us that we will probably never get rid of. He stated that they would rather talk about an insurrection that took place for a few hours on January 6, which he called a setup, than talk about what truly happened in the summer of 2020 when they allowed BLM, George Soros people, and Antifa to rule neighborhoods and burn down businesses with the support of the government.
White Guilt and Black Pride
Kirk asked Amanchukwu about the over-racialization of American politics and whether white guilt is a real force in American political dynamics. Amanchukwu confirmed that white guilt exists, particularly among white liberals trying to overcompensate by positioning themselves as saviors of black people. He stated directly that he doesn't have any white friends who suffer from white guilt. If you suffer from white guilt, you can't be his friend. He'll delete your phone number because if you suffer from white guilt, then he must suffer from black shame. What God did when He made him a black man in the greatest country ever was amazing. He's black and he's proud. White people should be able to say they're white and proud without him getting angry or white supremacists having problems. He encouraged Kirk to say it, though Kirk humorously deflected. Amanchukwu emphasized he doesn't like the ideology of white guilt. He's not a beggar. He takes care of his family, works hard, and labors for the Amanchukwu family. His children know what it means to be an Amanchukwu. His father came to this country from Nigeria in the 1970s. His last name is Igbo and means I know God. Without God, he would be nothing. He's not trying to imitate anyone or be jealous or envious of anyone's lot in life. He's trying to build for the Amanchukwu family, support his family, and take care of his responsibilities because of the burden he has for his beautiful black wife and three beautiful chocolate-colored children. They have a tan they keep in the winter, and he is not ashamed of that at all.
The Crisis of Fatherlessness
In closing comments before audience questions, Kirk raised an issue that transcends race: society has become accepting of men impregnating women and abandoning them. He believes Christians and the church need to hold men to a higher standard and not allow them to flee women when they need nurturing and support the most. Amanchukwu responded that if the father remains in the life of the mother who's pregnant, nearly 85 percent of the time the mother will keep the baby. But when the father abandons that woman, she's left to choose whether to have the child or abort. Now more than ever, we should be compelling men to stand in their rightful place. He mentioned Matt Walsh's documentary What Is a Woman as one of the great films, then posed his own question: What is a man? Today there are blurred lines. There's this notion that just because a person has a large stomach and they're male, they could have a baby. We're confusing a beer gut with pregnancy. Men can't have babies. In order to have a child, you have to go to Genesis 5:2—God created them male and female. You could put 10,000 women in one room and you're not going to germinate or grow anything. You could put 10,000 men in one room and you're not going to produce a child. But when you do it God's way, it works. God's way is clean, God's way is safe, and God's way works every time.
Questions and Answers: Engaging the Audience
A young African American man about to graduate from college asked where he could plug himself in to have the most influence. Amanchukwu advised him that if he wants to change the tide in this country, he should get married, have children, and replenish his community to be the example pushing the right stuff. He should get involved with local abortion clinics, youth camps and activities, volunteer at the new school they're creating, and he'll see God cause him to flourish.
A young woman named Kayla from CCU asked about educational reform for parents who cannot afford Christian schools or don't have time or qualifications to homeschool. Kirk encouraged her to look at Dream City and check the table outside for potential scholarship opportunities. He acknowledged the difficulty but emphasized that at some point, parents will have to make serious sacrifices to ensure their kids aren't captured by government schools. He shared a moving story of a mom who told him they haven't taken a vacation in 10 years. They make $51,000 a year combined, she homeschools, her husband is a carpenter, but they made the decision not to send their kids to government schools. Her kids love the Lord, know history, are committed patriots, and are ready to start their own businesses. She said it was the greatest decision they ever made. Kirk was moved by this example of delayed gratification, a Christian biblical principle. She was willing to have a decade without vacations, never going out to movies, eating at a restaurant once a year, all so she could homeschool their kids. Her closing comment was that Kirk needs to challenge parents to live with less so their kids can live free.
A young man asked about gas prices, noting he knows someone who quit his job because he couldn't afford to drive to work. Kirk explained that he believes we're living through an intentional destruction of people's freedom and mobility to travel. He believes this is a state-sponsored obliteration of autonomy via fossil-fueled cars. When you have cars and cheap gas, you're freer. You're able to see more friends and go to church easier without thinking daily or hourly about how much it costs to fill up. He believes they're trying to push toward an almost mandated electrical vehicle situation, which opens the door for increased government tyranny. Who controls the charging stations? They could turn off the electrical grid. This would be much harder to do with gasoline and petroleum than with electrical vehicles. He expressed frustration that we are doing this to ourselves—it's not Putin's price hike. There is a deliberate agenda to make people poorer and make it harder and more expensive to drive, and that should make people mad.
Amanchukwu added that he doesn't think we have a gas price problem or an inflation problem. He thinks we have a sin problem. He referenced 2 Samuel 21, where a famine broke out in Israel because Saul killed the Gibeonites. God visited that sin during the reign of David, even though Saul had been dead for 30 years, and sent a famine for three years. By the third year, David went to Jerusalem, and God revealed the issue. America has been in a pandemic and famine for the past three years because of the shedding of innocent blood. This famine will not be removed from this land until we get rid of baby sacrifices. Righteousness exalts a nation. If you want to make a nation great again, get righteous. The greatest economic development plan for a nation is obedience to God. If you want to get the favor of a nation and bring the economy back to where it should be, put God in His rightful place.
Standing Against Woke Indoctrination
A mom named Heather from Peoria asked about getting organizations like Bloom 365 out of schools. This organization disguises itself while painting boys and men as all bad abusers and claims that if they're the provider of the home, that's a stereotype. Amanchukwu responded that when Madeleine Murray O'Hair fought to remove prayer from school, they had to replace prayer with something. They brought in metal detectors, cops, dogs, and all kinds of things. The reality is that when a place has told God He's not welcome, that place becomes cursed. It's kind of hard to expect children to receive our viewpoints and ideologies in a school system that's postmodern and pushes socialism and Marxist ideologies. The best thing to do is find Turning Point schools, Dream City schools, charter schools not pushing woke ideologies, or homeschool. You have to find alternative ways to teach and train children in our philosophies and ideologies. If you send your child to Rome, don't be surprised they come back as a Roman. Kirk added that she's fighting a righteous fight but needs to know going in that the odds of removing that stuff are low. However, don't be afraid to use their emotionally charged language against them—say your child is feeling unsafe or might be marginalized. We have to start using their tactics against them unapologetically. While it's easier said than done, we should not retreat from trying to care about our public schools. Those are fellow citizens and countrymen who need us. They're future voters and leaders, and we still need to influence them.
Dealing with the Racist Label
Two young women, Braylee and Danielle, president and vice president of the Turning Point USA chapter at Liberty High School in Peoria, explained they ran into issues last school year with people thinking their club was racist. They couldn't have meetings the whole year because their teacher representative was scared. They want to know how to avoid that next year. Amanchukwu told them he's never been called racist himself and doesn't tolerate racist talk around him. Racism by and large is something that is taught. If you live in a home where parents are pushing those ideologies, it will creep into the hearts and minds of children. But if they're out there trying to do noble work for a noble cause, let those labels roll off like water down a duck's back. Don't allow those things to paralyze or stop them from their work. The left and those who are woke are always going to label them, so they have to become accustomed to being labeled. Keep fighting, keep standing, know why you're doing what you're doing, and continue to love everyone.
Kirk added that life is a series of questions you ask yourself. You can ask why is this so hard, why me, or you can ask what is great about this problem, what am I going to learn from this, how am I going to enjoy the process, what am I willing to do. He suggested they need to be more creative and put teachers on defense. He told them that they're going to be tougher, stronger, and better leaders in life because they have to deal with the nonsense of being stereotyped and called names while all their peers get everything easy. They're being put in a situation that will make them tougher leaders for the rest of their lives. Parents in the local area raised their hands ready to help. They have the backing of the largest conservative organization in America, Turning Point USA, which won't let them lose. Kirk expressed love for their high school chapters.
Teaching Patience in a Technology-Driven World
A parent named Blake asked about teaching patience to youth given how technology operates on a now, now, now basis. Kirk drew a correlation between technology and patience, raising the question of at what age parents should open the world of the internet to children. He thinks many parents are damaging their children by giving an eight-year-old full access to the world with a full battery and the best WiFi to scroll, search, and get trapped in pornographic material, evil, secret chats, and other dangers. Kids might have two accounts—one with their name and another like hot girl 69. He thinks parents need to put some clamps on technology and Netflix, not giving free access to scroll and search for hours. Amanchukwu added that they need to put clamps on these things. As it relates to patience, they're going to learn it by living and existing. Put the right stuff in them, and reality will teach them patience. The Bible says to be anxious for nothing. Anxiety rules today because people want things now, typically because parents give children too much too soon. Sometimes you have to withhold things to train them, develop them, and build them up the right way.
Kirk added his unpopular opinion that kids shouldn't get smartphones until they're 18 years old. As a middle-ground solution, he promoted Canopy, a program he's partnered with on his podcast and radio show. Canopy is the best technology he's come across, similar to Covenant Eyes but better because it takes over the whole phone with secure encryption. If you have an 11, 12, or 13-year-old, studies show they will come across pornography accidentally or intentionally, both females and males, unless you have this application. He provided the website as canopy.us/protect with a promo code protect. It scans the whole device with 99.9 percent accuracy. He tried it himself and was blown away by how quickly it blurred out suggestive web ads on sites like Fox News. He's a big fan of this technology as a way to reinforce protection if parents feel their 12-year-old needs an iPhone. Kirk noted he didn't get his first smartphone until he was 20 years old. When he was 13, they used to go outside to play and be home by dark, and he misses that country. He knows that's unrealistic now, so there's a good technology middle ground.
Responding to Separation of Church and State
A 17-year-old named Serene apologized for already having a phone and Canopy, then asked how to respond when she posts on Instagram asking why we say to pray for our schools yet prayer isn't allowed inside schools. She received a response saying because of separation between church and state plus not everyone is a Christian. Kirk told her to respond by asking them to dig up the clause or amendment where separation of church and state is in the Constitution and send it back. It's nowhere. It's a phrase Thomas Jefferson used in a single letter to the Danbury Baptist Convention that is actually taken out of context. It was resurrected by the atheist secular movement in the 1960s and 70s by the Warren Court and Burger Court to remove prayer in schools. He told her to send them the prayer that used to be in school. It was not a Jewish or Christian prayer but a unitarian prayer—paraphrasing, it said I thank God that I am here today, I pray for my classmates and my country and for the well-being of others. It wasn't mandatory. It was trying to get students to take a pause and realize there's a vertical relationship to their existence.
Kirk suggested she ask if they should remove mentions of God in founding documents too, then point out the ordaining of the blessings of liberty—ordaining to whom, Zeus? He noted the four mentions of God in the Declaration of Independence: laws of nature and nature's God, Creator, and others. We've been hypnotized to believe this lie of separation of church and state. What the First Amendment actually says is that Congress shall make no law establishing an official state religion and also make no law abolishing religion or the church. It's inverted to the exact opposite. He suggested she finally ask where they were trying to make sure the state wasn't getting in the church during COVID, where they were trying to say the state couldn't shut down churches with vaccine mandates, mask mandates, or lockdowns. All of a sudden, people are super worried about separation of church and state when it's about God being mentioned in a state-run school. Maybe they're running a state-run religion and worried that people might actually have some sort of prayer in schools.
The Housing Crisis and Foreign Investment
The final question came from someone who has been doing forums with people running for state legislature and other positions. He asked about a statistic that before COVID, eight percent of foreign investors owned land in Arizona, now up to almost 30 percent. With BlackRock buying up tons of Arizona land and prices skyrocketing, creating a housing crisis all over the country, he asked what can be done to combat this to allow Arizonans to afford land. Kirk answered directly, noting he's not a politician. He doesn't want to live in a generation or country where more people in his generation are renting than owning. Renting creates citizens who don't have equity in the system around them. When young people rent, they're less likely to feel invested in their nation or care about property values, property taxes, or where property tax goes. It's the tragedy of the commons. He thinks homeownership is a moral good that we should try to develop and increase. We're seeing homeownership go down.
Kirk explained that property values are skyrocketing because people are getting unsolicited offers on their houses through text messages and phone calls. Major funds, both internationally and in New York, don't know where to put their money, so they're coming and buying homes and renting them back to our children. That's wrong. People say that's not very free market, but Kirk loves markets because they serve people. When markets stop serving people, we need to say that's not a good or an outcome we're willing to tolerate. If ASU or University of Arizona grads can't conceivably afford a down payment on a home in Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, or Gilbert in the next 10 years, that's going to create cynical renters more likely to say the system is rigged against them.
His solution: the Arizona legislature should be very clear that if you are a multinational firm or company buying for the intent to rent, you are not allowed to do it. Young people and residents of Arizona should get priority over multinational firms coming in to buy up property to rent it back to us. That is actually the market thing to do and the capitalist thing to do because it will create better principles, behaviors, and citizens. If you want to create conservatives, have a young person own property, get married, and have children. If you want to create liberals, keep them unmarried, without kids, and renting for the rest of their life. We need bold decisive action to say New York woke firms sitting on $10 trillion have no business swooping into Scottsdale, buying up property, and making it so 28, 29, and 30-year-olds can never get a chance at the American dream so many of us did. That's the conservative capitalist approach in his opinion.
Closing Thoughts: A Call to Action
Pastor John Amanchukwa closed by saying his name is John Amanchukwa and he approves this message. Kirk thanked everyone for attending, promoted checking out the table for Dream City Schools at dreamcityschools.org, and reminded everyone that ballots come out July 3rd. He said they're never going to tell people who to vote for, but they are going to tell people to vote, pray about it, and fast on it. They'll be talking about the importance of voting in the next Freedom Night in America. He thanked Dream City Christian for the amazing collaboration and told everyone God bless, see you next month.

abortion clinics in the southeast i had a black father approach me and tell me that i was standing outside of the abortion clinic where i had gone to you know for the past eight years he told me that i was fighting a white man's issue because i was trying to save babies now on that saturday morning 70 percent of the people outside trying to save the babies were white but nearly 80 to 85 of the people in the building prepared to abort that baby on or their baby on that morning they were black but this father is going to tell me that i'm fighting a white man's issue because a black man who has three children who has several things to do goes down to a local abortion clinic just to save babies he was a liar and let me tell you something man abortion is not a white evangelical issue calling abortion murder is not a white evangelical issue you know if we would put the ten commandments back in our schools it will reduce some of these school shootings and people will understand that it was god that called killing innocent people murderers and so in my book you find a biblical approach to come alongside some of the toughest issues of our day like critical race theory and abortion and wokism and transgenderism and school choice it is a support system to pastors who have weak voices pastors who are afraid to deal with these issues and i also deal with the lgbtq issue in my book as well you know we are in the midst of pride month right this is pride month you know and i believe that every pastor should speak up and say something about pride month every preacher who's worth his salt should say something about this month now if you're if your pastor has nothing to say about pride month i want you to know something that you need to check his posts check his allies and check his draws because someone's wearing lace hear me you because here's the reality the left is coming for our children and over my dead body not on my watch i'm not going to allow anybody can i stand up i'm not going to allow anybody to come after my children and attack my family why because a man lives in my house can i get the real men to make some noise can i get the mama bears to make some noise yeah it's time to fight charlie so time to fight so what what should a pastor talk about what should they say pastors are afraid they say you know i don't know how to navigate these issues how do they how do they tackle pride month well here's the reality we have this book called a bible you know if pastors would stop preaching about their vacations the dog the cat and the lizard and their quaint vacations and get back to preaching from genesis to revelation we could save this nation we can do it see the bible is more current than tomorrow's newspaper if you want to know what's going to take place tomorrow turn your face to the book and god will show you what's taking place but many of our preachers they know what to say but they hold the truth in the bible says if our gospel be hid it is he to those that are lost and so many of our preachers would would rather hide the truth to keep rear ends in the pews you know you can't cancel a true born-again preacher i was canceled at the cross of calvary when i gave my life to christ when i was baptized i was canceled i became a new person i became a new creature all things are passed away and behold all things are become new and here's another thing whatever you say about me you can't change my reputation because i laid my reputation down as well and i'm standing for jesus every chance that i get i could just listen to him i'm i'm good um so but why is it so many pastors are afraid to talk about it then i mean there seems to be a courage gap is there a willingness gap here here's the issue more concern about resources rather than the source you have resources and sources the progenitor of the resources is the source the source is god many pastors are afraid to preach against lgbt issues because they might have a child that might be in that lifestyle or a family member or there might be a board member who's influen influential who has deep pockets and we would rather keep the board member happy and not take him off because he might withdraw his money the bible says allow your money to perish with you so if you want to pull your money out of a local church because the pastor is preaching goodbye and let your money perish with you but you should expect your preacher to speak to these issues and it's easy as one two three just preach the bible amen so let's talk about the black community yes this is something that i think really is confusing to a lot of people the black community is actually more socially conservative correct in a lot of different ways than white liberals especially in california or new york why is it that the black community being more socially conservative not on board for this transgender stuff they they polls show that they actually the least approving of it sure why is it then that black pastors or black leaders then tend to tilt with the political left yeah and you know charlie if i knew the true answer to that question i might be a rich man all right but i'm glad you asked a black pastor we can explore it together but but here here's here's the reality consider reverend jesse jackson who when he uh who who coined the turn the term black genocide who once preached against abortion but when it was time for him to run for office he sold his community down a river and would not touch the issue anymore consider barack hussein obama the first black president who had a chance to right some wrongs and do some true work what did he do the majority of his support went towards two groups planned parenthood and the lgbt community we have blown so many opportunities the issue is this many in my community happen to be low information voters and they're getting their information from the wrong people you should expect to go to church and to hear the truth about these issues but the pastors are woke and the pastors are preaching woke sermons so therefore you have a woke pew right if the pulpit is woke then the parishioners are going to be woke but many blacks they don't espouse of these things but they oftentimes vote one way and pray another but guess what there's good news there is a remnant there are a group of blacks in this country who believe in black excellence who believe in the two-parent family home both sexes there is a group of minorities in this country who are rising up who supported donald trump overwhelmingly right you saw something change there i believe that there is a remnant coming and all we need to do is continue to sound the alarm keep the message out there before the masses create opportunities for black voices to speak nationally and we will turn this nation in the right direction in the black community [Applause] this is such an important point because so many of these advocacy groups it's driven by white liberals not by grassroots in the black community sure i mean you look at blm otherwise known as by large mansions organization that in the last couple years raised over 100 million dollars how much of that went to black charter schools zero zero much of that went towards getting black fathers back in the home zero so let me get your thoughts on this there is an accusation mostly thrown by the way by white liberals that this idea of a two-parent household speaking properly showing up on time doing mathematics doing science are all it's all whiteness in fact the african-american history museum the smithsonian african-american history museum said that a couple summers ago correct help us walk us through that well well that's a lie it's not white to be articulate it's not white to walk around with a belt on you know i put on a belt today and i guess i'm white right because i put on a belt you know and also i intentionally put on a suit because oftentimes the media portrays the black character as a buffoon right and so every chance i get to present black excellence and to look adorned the proper way i take an advantage of that opportunity to do so because i want to project the right message for the masses now this issue of you know excellence and blacks you know in the in in their dress or in their attitude being white if they are proper these things are lies you know in our schools they are attempting to make victims out of black students they're teaching them to hate their nation to hate their country rap and hip-hop music is further angering them and turning them against the white man because the white man has disenfranchised them let me tell you something if hispanics can come to this country and speak english as a second language and become successful black people don't have an excuse asian americans do well in this nation and many of them have two parent family homes why is because of the culture that they are pushing on their children they preach education they focus on education education education education they teach them to be ceos and entrepreneurs and to own their business and when you do that you strengthen the family but when dad is out of his place we can't put the blame on white people black fathers need to take responsibility for their litter for their children for the children that they have produced and stand in their rightful place you know kamala harris said that she was going to astronomically reduce black poverty by providing a 400 check i immediately said that i'm so glad that my wife and my children don't need the government to give them 400 because my family has a father and a daddy but so much so many have made a god out of government and that is the issue so so talk about when that changed because in the 1940s and 1900s america was definitely more racist than it is today i'm not sure it was a racist country but there was definitely more of the feelings of resentment and prejudice right for example the major league baseball didn't yet break the color barrier into the 40s or 50s and despite that though black families were actually more intact yes now we have 25 percent or so you know the numbers yes depending on the year walk us through that so from the early 1900s all the way up till about 1968 which represents the death of mlk the black marriage rate rivaled that of whites we did better under jim crow laws than we are doing in 2022. and here's here's here's the issue when you had monumental leaders like dr king who was speaking truth to power and causing black men and women to rise up you know they killed him all right we're still trying to figure out who did it but we believe it possibly it was the government involved but after the death of mlk lyndon b johnson comes in with a new deal which was really a sour deal for black america they replaced the black father with government cheese they provided a handout a check you know and there are some people who need welfare support but welfare welfare was never intended to be a hammock it was intended to be a safety net and many people have remained in a hammock for too long they're comfortable in the government's lazy boy hammock so they won't work and you see generations of parents who are not working they're living off the government and that destroys the family so when you push dad out of the home the patriarch is no longer there and when you lose the patriarch the family dies and that is the issue black men represent five percent of the overall population in this nation black women represent eight percent what does that mean a lot of our women may not get married and while the naacp is pushing more abortion and more support towards the left we are decimating the black community so yeah talk about that talk about the statistics you have the naacp which says they stand for black progress right and against you know institutional prejudice and all this but the glaring truth is that the most dangerous place for a black person in america is in the womb right yes why is it that we are not seeing a celebration from black america that roe v wade might be repealed in a couple weeks instead we're seeing mass amount of public interest groups do the exact opposite sure well i can speak for the church that i'm at you know we celebrate it you know our church uh in 2011 we had a fatherhood initiative and we led hundreds of our members out to the local abortion clinic we have been working there it's an abortion clinic called a woman's choice of raleigh and we've been able to win over 2000 babies over the past uh 12 years a big handclap goes there and so so there's a movement afoot there are a group of people who are rising up to push against these issues but the naacp about nine years ago they got in to a jam they were in the red and they needed financial support they changed their initiative and they started supporting the lgbtq community overnight they went from being in the red to now being in the black and now they're more concerned about perversion than they are the true civil rights movement we gave away our civil rights movement to a group of people who did not choose their color you know i didn't choose to be black you didn't choose to be white but a person chooses to go after the same sex it is sad to liking the struggle of a person who has gender dysphoria to the plight of black americans in america in the 1960s that's a travesty but guess what they're doing it and they did it with the help of the naacp and so what you're beautifully articulating is the expansion of the civil rights regime yes which is a righteous and noble cause in the 60s and 70s is now being expanded to use the force of government the instrument of the state right now to be able to punish people if you disagree with preferences on the gender dysphoria or you might have religious conscious objections right and so this is a very important issue because there is a bill right now in front of congress it's not going to pass thankfully called hr5 uh and what they want to do is they want they they act as if it's so simple you talk to the bills the kind of bill sponsors they oh no all it is is adding to the civil rights act yes you know lgbt and trans people to be able to get the same protections that were in the you know the 60 67 68 or 60 yeah uh civil rights act why would that be such a terrible idea it would it would set minorities back we don't want to go backwards i want to go forward america is not a perfect nation or a perfect country but you don't see people trying to leave america by the droves you see people fighting to get into this promised land this great country by called america who god has made great and so as you see that there is a plan there is a scheme how do we keep blacks marginalized keep them angry keep emotional tactics before them keep them in the past so they can't go forward and it has worked to our own demise so something that is ah emphasis on college campuses in the media is this issue of police brutality do you think that is a top 10 top 20 issue facing the black community because it gets all the attention sure i don't i don't think that it is you know i believe that we have good cops and i believe that there are some some bad cops we should address the bad cops and get on with allowing the cops who are black white hispanic to defend our neighborhoods and protect us and keep us away from criminals and thugs you know oftentimes when a person says thug they think of someone who is black but that's not true there are thugs in all people groups right what we saw happen during the summer of 2020 we saw white thugs we saw asian thugs we saw pacific islander thugs we saw hispanic thugs transgender thugs all kinds of thugs looting and robbing stores burning down the cvs pharmacy stores in your own community these things as governors and mayors who were democrats stood back and allowed anarchists to rule the night it's a travesty and that is a blot upon us that we would probably never get rid of we would rather talk about an insurrection something that took place for a few hours right which was a setup in and of itself we would rather talk about that than to talk about the summer of 2020. listen don't talk to me about january 6. i want to hear about this uh what truly happened in the summer of 2020 as we allowed blm all of the george soros people and antifa as we allow them to rule our neighborhoods and to burn down businesses with the support of the government and we've seen violent crimes skyrocket yes as we have our war on police which has just continued unfortunately we have seen every one of the kind of promises of a stable society and what should really concern all of us is that we've seen violent crime go up back when the economy was relatively okay right what we're about to see is i believe an economic catastrophe i think it's a slow-motion car wreck i don't wish it upon anybody unlike the left i hope that i'm wrong i hope that we have an economic renaissance but i also believe in the laws of gravity and you do too and i think we're now experiencing the downfall of a seven trillion dollar sugar high brought to us by politicians that never think beyond 90 seconds ahead of the next headline from the new york times the washington post right and violent crime unfortunately goes up every time the unemployment rate goes up you're going to see violent crime looting and all these other things go alongside of it so can you talk about the over-racialization of american politics there do you think white guilt is a very real thing is when it comes to american political dynamics i'm not white do you think all right i can tell you white guilt exists but well i'll say this the power of white guilt let me let me rephrase it you see like white liberals trying to overcompensate saying that i'm going to come and kind of be the savior of black people no you're you're so right and i said that intentionally i i i am white now i don't have i have several white friends all right uh but i don't have [Laughter] hear me i do but i don't have any white friends who suffer from white guilt if you suffer from white guilt you can't be my friend i'm gonna delete your phone number from my phone we can't hang out because here's the issue if you suffer from white guilt then i must suffer from black shame what god did when he made me a black man in the greatest country ever was dynamic i'm black and i'm proud and you should be able to say that you're white and you're proud and me not get angry if i said that white supremacists not have problems here tonight charlie just say it tonight you're a white and person i'm not saying that listen [Laughter] no listen but you you should have you should have a right to to let's give charlie kirk a big hand come on make some noise for him ten years running [Applause] but you know um i i don't i don't like that ideology white guilt i'm i'm not a beggar i take care of my family i work hard i labor i toil for the amanchukwu family my children knows what it means to be an amanchukwu my father came to this country in the 1970s that's where i get the last name it's uh ebo is from nigeria my last name means i know god and without god i would be nothing i'm not trying to imitate anyone i'm not jealous or envious of your lot in life i'm trying to build for the amanchukwu family i'm trying to support my family and take care of my responsibilities because i have a burden upon me it's that beautiful black woman right there and my three beautiful black chocolate colored skinned children and we have a tan that you keep in the winter and i am not ashamed of that at all and so in closing here before we do some questions and some back and forth something that bothers me and this is not a race thing by any measure meaning that it's not just pertaining to one group is that i think we have become accepting of men impregnating women and abandoning them i think that we have to be harsher towards men that are cowards and that abandon talk just as a man about how we as christians and the church need to hold men to a higher standard a higher account not to flee women when they're in the time where they need nurturing and support the most well you know oftentimes if the father will remain in the life of the mother who's pregnant nearly 85 of the time the mother will keep the baby right but when the father abandons that woman the woman chooses you know hey do i have the child or do i abort the child you know now more than ever we should be compelling men to stand in their rightful place matt walsh just did a documentary entitled what is the woman it's one of the great films i'm telling you it's it's excellent i'm trying to get matt here it's a project you know yeah you know what is the woman the question is also what is a man you know that's right because today you know it's they're blurred lines you know we have this notion today that just because a person has a large stomach and they're a male that they could have a baby you know we're confusing a beer gut where the person is pregnant men can't have babies can i say it again men can't have babies in order to have a child you got to go to genesis 5 and 2. god created them male and female you could put 10 000 women in one room you're not going to germinate and grow anything in their room you could put 10 000 men in one room and you're not going to produce a child but it's when you do it god's way you know god's way is clean god's way is safe and god's way works every time amen so let's begin to line up for some questions here i'd love to get to as many as we can there are some people here that haven't yet given their life to the lord put on the pastor hat give the why why should they care there's god that that's out there that loves them tell us from your perspective what do they need to hear tonight sure well there's there is a god that loves you who wants to be in fellowship with you there is a god who is an intelligent designer and architect that created you any every manufacturer manufacturer puts a patent on his product that's his stamp of approval that he owns that product right god has placed in us a god-shaped vacuum it's a place in our heart that only god can feel and consume and life won't be right until you find the god of the bible and that's when you will find hope and an answer for your true meaning calling and existence amen so beautiful yes all right let's get to some questions right here uh hi there so first of all as an african-american i've got my white privilege card right here so i'm all good you know but um for real uh i'm wondering as an african-american just about to graduate from college where can i be plugging myself in that i would be able to influence the most people because like as an african-american you got more of a voice now in america where can you be plugging yourself into these programs to really have a voice that's going to speak out and reach people especially those who are confused and think that black people are suffering in ways that they're obviously not got it so you're getting ready to graduate right all right how old are you 21 21 do you have a girlfriend no all right all right i got married at the age of 23 it was the best decision i ever made if you want to change the tide in this country you're doing well you're getting ready to graduate you're getting ready to get a job get married have children replenish your community to be the example that's pushing the right right the right stuff go to your local abortion clinic get involved with youth camps and activities get involved with turning point usa volunteer at the new school that they're getting ready to create and you'll see god cause you to flourish get married god bless you yeah yeah we'll go over here hi charlie it's kayla from ccu again but i wrote this out on my phone because i'm nervous so i'm gonna read it the public school system is failing america and with indoctrination and even a federally mandated sexual education curriculum it's only getting worse for parents who cannot afford to send their children to christian schools or do not have the time or qualifications to homeschool what other choices are there what are your practical what is your practical opinion on educational reform what can we as christian conservatives advocate for debate over and push for in our local and state governments yeah i would encourage you to take a look at dream city might be able to make it work there are scholarships potentially available no guarantees obviously but something that and the table outside go to the table outside um and so just you know we'll try to make it the work the best we can obviously um but look that's one of the reasons why we want to do what we're doing but look i hear you it's all about if you're not able to send kid your kid to private school and government schools is the answer and you can't homeschool you know at some point you're going to have to make a very serious sacrifice to make sure your kid isn't going to be kind of captured by the government school and just something to think about and pray about i was so moved the other day where mom came up to me and she said charlie she said you know we have barely we haven't taken a vacation in 10 years she said you know uh we we make 51 000 a year as a combined family right i home school my husband's a carpenter uh but we made a decision that we are not going to send our kids to the government schools and my kids love the lord they know history they're committed patriots they're ready to start their own businesses and she said you know i this is the greatest decision we ever made i was so moved and what she was articulating and everybody's different is this amazing example of delayed gratification and delayed gratification is what built the west uh delayed gratification is a christian biblical principle by the way which is that you're not just going to please yourself in the immediate that you're going to start store up the harvest for maybe the more difficult days to come and what she articulated to me that just blew me away is that she was willing to have a decade without a vacation never going out for a movie they have to ate out a restaurant once a year all because she said she just wanted to be able to homeschool their kids otherwise she could send the government schools and she could go work at a local you know place and she could increase their wage they could live with a nicer lifestyle but her closing comment to me was she said charlie you need to challenge parents to live with less so their kids can live free thank you so much i'm a man keep getting taller i'm like i just wanted to ask the question about gas prices because i know this you never know where he's gonna go i know yes i know this one guy he quit his job because he couldn't afford to even drive to work the gas prices were higher than his pay so i was wondering if we could do anything to help lower them i'm doing my best um but i will say this son i love your thoughts john on this what i believe we're living through is an intentional destruction of people's freedom mobility to travel i believe that we are living through a state-sponsored obliteration of your autonomy via your fossil-fueled car something we take for granted is when you have cars and cheap gas you're a free you're actually freer um you when you have when you are not thinking daily hourly about how much it costs to fill up your mode of transportation then you're actually able to see more friends go to church easier now you have to make sacrifices we get it we're living through it but it's so extraordinary i believe they're trying to get us towards an inevitable almost mandated electrical vehicle you know situation where i believe that almost that that opens the door for increased increased government tyranny who controls the charging stations they could turn off the electrical grid where obviously that's all conceivable if you have oil you know um gasoline petroleum but it would be a lot harder to do in my personal opinion than for the electrical vehicle situation so what what can we do about it and we need new leadership oh my gosh it's just so frustrating and i'll just say one other thing on this though i'm sure you share my irritation and my frustration is that we are doing this to ourselves it's not putin's price hike it's none of that nonsense there is a deliberate agenda to make you poorer and to make it harder and more expensive for you to be able to drive and that should drive you mad yes you know i don't think that we have a gas price problem in this country i don't think we have an inflation problem i think that we have a sin problem america is in famine in second samuel chapter 21 a famine broke out in israel because saul killed the gibeonites god visits that sin during the reign of david saul had been dead for 30 years god visits that sin upon the reign of david and sends a famine for three years the first year david said okay something strange the cattle are dying and there's there's no rain second year same problem by the third year he said okay it's time to get up and go to jerusalem when he goes to jerusalem god reveals to him and shows him the issue that the blood of the gibeonites who were sinful people who were tricksters who found a creative way to be amalgamated until unto israel god showed him that saul had killed them in america we've been in a pandemic a famine for the past three years right and we're in a famine because of the shedding of innocent blood and this famine will not be removed upon this land until we get rid of baby sacrifices righteousness exalts a nation you want to make a nation great again get righteous the greatest economic development plan for a nation it's great when you have low taxes right that works obedience to god is number one if you want to get the favor of a nation and to bring the economy back to where it should be put god in his rightful place amen thank you my friend yeah next question [Applause] uh yes hi um so i'm a canvasser for the susan b anthony list and um i had somebody ask me a question or not ask but when i was canvassing i would he said uh that women need to have the right to abortion um to preserve their own autonomy did not deny that the baby is a human um knew the baby was human this guy and so i just i don't know what to say to that if your mind is so incredibly twisted and depraved that you just you don't even care that it's human like it just you if you if you got to kill it then you got to kill it i just i don't know what to say to that so yeah well here's here's the thing there are some people whose minds are so warped that they're past receiving the truth all right the bible speaks of a person having a conscience that has been seared with the hot iron have you ever ironed your clothes before maybe a black pair of pants and you left the iron on the ironing board for too long and it seared the pants whenever you sear a pair of pants the pants are no longer useful and it's just like a person's mind they'll they will hear the truth but they won't receive the truth it's similar to louelle's syndrome there was a famous astronomer by the name of sir percival lowell who believed that there was human life on planet mars he believed it so much that all of his comrades believed the same thing over the process of time as they diversified technology they came to find out that sir percival lowell was wrong and they came up with two reasons number one sir percival lowell saw life on planet mars simply because he wanted to see life on mars he saw it his way because he want wanted to have his way the uh the other reason why he thought that there was life on on planet mars is because as he looked through his telescope he saw his own blood vessels oftentimes a person does not want to receive what is right and what's truthful because they're so bent on seeing things their own way but our job as christian believers is to continue to witness to those issues individuals to pray for them and to compel them and to win them with the truth that's all we can do amen yeah not your dna not your choice it's a good one-liner there you go okay um hi i'm heather rooks i'm a peoria mom here with my son tonight um connor and i had a question regarding we've been going to school board meetings for the past two years in peoria unified and a big group of parents and we've got this organization right now called bloom 365 going on in a lot of the school districts in arizona and i wanted to point on it because you talked about what is a man and in this organization um they disguise it as something else where they um basically paint boys and men as all bad abusers and that if they're the provider of the home that's a stereotype so i guess we're having trouble how do we get these organizations out of our schools besides running for school board because i'm already doing that this coming november so i'm going to get on there and get it out but i just want to help i just want parents in the community if they're having these situations where we've got these big organizations or these big companies in our schools how do we get them out of our schools right and you're speaking about our public schools correct yeah correct you know when madeleine o'hara fought to remove prayer from school they had to replace prayer with something they brought in metal detectors they brought in cops they brought in dogs and they brought in all kinds of of things here's the reality when a place has told god that he's not welcome that place becomes cursed it's kind of hard for us to expect to have children receive our viewpoints and ideologies in a school system that's post-modern in a school system that pushes socialism and marxist ideologies the best thing for us to do when we see that taking place is to find turning point school find dream city school find a charter school that's not pushing those woke ideologies home school you have to find methods like that because the reality is this locism is not going away it's going to continue to increase and increase but we have to find alternative alternative ways to teach our children and to train them in our philosophies and ideologies if you send your child to rome don't be surprised that they come back as a roman all right that's what we have to focus on yeah and you're fighting a righteous fight but you just got to know going in that the odds of removing that stuff is very low but don't be afraid to use their emotionally charged language against them right that your child is is feeling unsafe because of this that your child might be marginalized we have to start using their tactics against them unapologetically and they don't even know how to handle that so it's easier said than done you have to kind of have a realistic way forward but i do not think we should in any way shake shape or form retreat from trying to care about our public schools they're our fellow citizens and our fellow countrymen that need us you might be able to get your kids out but those are future voters those are future leaders and we still need to be able to influence them god bless you thank you hi i'm braylee and i'm the president of the turning point usa chapter at liberty high school awesome um i am danielle i'm the vice president and last school year we ran into a lot of issues not being able to have meetings due to people thinking that our club was racist and that we had a lot of racist point of views and it ran into us not being able to have any meetings at all the whole school year and our teacher rep was so scared that he wouldn't let us have any meetings at all and we did donuts red bull like stuff fun to bring people in and he was against that because he didn't want to bring too many people in that weren't there for the right reasons so we just want to know we would love to continue it next school year but we have a lot of issues with not having meetings so we want to know how we can avoid that what school again liberty high school in peoria is that a public school it's a public school okay so john can you help with this though this is important for these young ladies by the way give it up for them running a turning point usa chapter how great is that is this is something that maybe you're just going to tell us to get over it or snap out of it but this is an important point though which is a lot of young conservatives or conservatives all ages they kind of get in a place of paralysis as soon as they're called a racist regardless of the lack of accusation and you know so many times people say charlie turning points racist why i don't know i read it online it's like oh so you're going to call me the worst thing you could call somebody with zero evidence supporting it what's your advice to young people or all people how do you deal with that when someone calls you the artwork yeah well i i've never been called racist myself um and and and i'm not racist right and i don't tolerate racist talk around me you know it all starts there racism by and large is something that is taught right if you live in a home where parents are pushing those ideologies it's going to creep into the hearts and the minds of the children but if you all are out there trying to do a noble work for a noble cause let those labels roll off of you like water down a duck's back right don't allow those things to paralyze you or [ __ ] you from the work that you're doing the the left those who are awoke are always going to label you right so you have to become accustomed with being labeled okay but continue the work that you are doing because they want to throw you off and if they can stop you with the r word then you won't go forward keep fighting keep standing and know why you're doing what you're doing and continue to love everyone let me add one more thing which is kind of what do i do you got to be relentless right and so life is a series of questions you ask yourself right so you can ask yourself the question why is this so hard you know why me or you could say what is great about this problem what am i going to learn from this how am i going to enjoy the process what am i willing to do these are these are questions you can ask yourself about that say so what would possibly be great about a problem of being called a racist and a teacher not wanting to you know associate with you you got to be more creative right you could put the teachers on defense say will anybody possibly associate with our club now here's the other thing though how you're high school 17 18 16 17 18 right you're going to be tougher and stronger and a better leader in life because you have to deal with the nonsense of being stereotyped and called names where all of your peers get everything easy you are now being put in a situation that will make you a tougher leader for the rest of your life that's what's awesome about that kind of a problem right and so no easy way but parents in the local area are going to help you right see those hands right there then ready to help that's what the beauty of freedom night in america and finally you have the backing of the largest conservative organization america turning point usa we're not gonna let them win we're gonna make sure that you guys are able to get the club get the approval and not be called those terrible names god bless you we love our high school chapters we love it thanks for being here what's up guys it kind of took my question in a way but um my name is blake see back the question i have for you guys is to with now that the way that technology is going and the now now now now now for us parents what is a great way example to teach patients among our youth and you draw it's interesting that you drew a correlation between technology and patience you know it leads me to to focus on another question which is also at what age should we open the world of the internet up to our children right i think many parents are damaging their children by giving a eight-year-old full access to the world with a full battery and the best wi-fi around for them to scr scroll into search and define things and to get trapped into pornographic material and all kinds of evil and uh secret chats and things of that nature you know they you think they have one facebook account or sorry you think they have one tick tock or snapchat account but they really have two you know one is their name the other one is hot girl 69 you know and so you you go and you search their material and you find out that your child is getting over on you and they're becoming an individual that you don't recognize i think first and foremost we need to put some clamps on the tech technology come on clap your hands parents we need to put some clamps on netflix we shouldn't just give them free access to these things where they can go and scroll and search for hour after hour after hour as relates to patients the reality is this they're going to learn patience let them keep living let them keep existing put the right stuff in them and reality is going to teach them this thing called patience the bible says to be careful to be patient for nothing to be impatient for nothing or anxious for nothing right anxiety rules today people want things now and that's typically because oftentimes parents give our children too much too soon sometimes you got to withhold some things to train them and to develop them and to build them up the right way and i'll add i i don't this is an unpopular opinion i don't think kids should get smartphones until they're 18 years old that's my personal opinion i know that's unpopular so but let me give you a middle ground solution we've partnered on our podcast on our radio show with a company called canopy canopy is a phenomenal program uh it is the best technology i've come across it's similar to covenant eyes i'm a big believer in these sort of technologies but canopy is the best because it actually takes over the whole phone it's secure and encryption and so it will if you have an 11 12 or 13 year old either accidentally or intentionally the studies show they will come across pornography both females and males not if you have this application we've partnered with them it's canopy dot u s slash protect you guys get a promo code protect the innocence of your children they're one of our biggest sponsors on our radio show or podcast i plug them every single day i'll say that again slowly for you guys it's canopy dot u s slash protect and it is the best technology it scans the whole device it's 99.9 accurate i tried it out myself and i was blown away by how quickly they were able to even like for example i went to foxnews.com which has awfully suggestive web ads if you've ever seen it and it blurred it all out right it was like wow it's amazing so it works super quickly and i i'm a big fan of that technology so that might be one way just to kind of reinforce that if you're like hey my 12 year old needs an iphone that's fine i'm a i i didn't get my first smartphone until i was 20 years old and that was an awesome existence you know when i was 13 years old we used to go outside to play be home by dark also i miss that country don't you but i know that is unrealistic so there's a good technology middle ground for that i think god bless you okay we'll take two more yes hi i'm serene and i apologize i'm 17 and already have a phone canopy um so recently i posted on my insta instagram story why do we say to pray for our schools and yet prairie isn't allowed inside the school and i got a response saying because of separation between church and state plus not everyone is a christian so my question for you guys is how do you respond to that statement yes so you should respond say hey um interesting comment can you dig up the clause or the amendment where separation of church and state is in the constitution just send it back to me it's no it's nowhere it's a phrase that thomas jefferson used in a single letter to the danbury baptist convention that is actually taken out of context it was resurrected by the atheist secular movement in the 1960s and 70s by the warren court and the burger court to remove prayer in schools the second thing you should send is send them the prayer that used to be in school it was not a jewish prayer it was not a christian prayer and i'm paraphrasing but you could look it up it's very simple i thank god that i am here today that i pray for my classmates and my country and for the well-being of others i'm paraphrasing it it's a unitarian prayer it was not a christian prayer it wasn't a muslim prayer it was a unitarian prayer and it wasn't even mandatory in fact but it was doing it was trying to get students to take a pause and realize that there's a vertical relationship to their existence so you should ask a question hey just uh wondering should we remove mentions to god in our founding documents too because then they'll say well there is no mention of god's well then how would you say to ordain the blessings of liberty who are we ordaining it to exactly zeus how about the four mentions of god in the declaration of independence laws of nature and nature is god we do we do we do swear this oath to our church to each other and our creator and so these that we've been kind of hypnotized to believe in this lie of separation of church and state what it does say but it's miscategorized is that congress shall make no law what are they talking about make no law having us an official state religion and also make no law abolishing religion or the church it's inverted the exact opposite so the final thing you say hey hold on a second separation of church and state where were you trying to make sure the state wasn't getting in the church during covid where were you trying to say that the state couldn't shut down the church with vaccine mandates mass mandates or lockdowns it's like all of a sudden you're super worried about separation of churches oh no no you want the state in the church but you're worried that god might be mentioned in a state-run school maybe you're running a state-run religion not worried that people might actually have some sort of prayer in our schools that's how i would respond to that thank you okay the last question how's it going so i've been uh doing a lot of forums recently with people running for state legislature people running for different positions through north valley and republicans and i've asked this question about the housing market that has not yet been answered by anybody that i've asked i've asked the current treasurer uh not during our panel but a different uh panel and i've came across a statistic that before coven eight percent of foreign investors owned uh land in arizona that is now up to almost 30 percent so the question that i asked was with blackrock buying up tons of arizona land and prices skyrocketing this has created a housing crisis all over the country arizona is most definitely not an exception what would you do to combat this housing crisis to allow arizonans to afford land yeah so this i'll act i'll answer directly because i'm not a politician so but you know i'm also going to propose something that might be people say it's radical i don't think it's radical i don't want to live in a generation or a country where more people my generation are renting than owning i think that's a bad thing i think renting creates citizens that don't that actually have equity in the system around them when young people are renting they're less likely to feel invested in their nation care about property values property taxes where our property tax is going it's the tragedy of the commons i think homeownership is a moral good and i think we should try to develop it and try to increase it we're seeing homeownership go down so i think the legislature in arizona needs to realize one of the reasons why property values are being skyrocketing while some of you are probably getting unsolicited offers on your house you're getting text messages and phone calls why is that it's it's because major funds both internationally and in new york they don't know where to put their money and they're coming and buying your homes and renting them back to your children that's wrong now people say well charlie that's not very free market of you hold on i love markets because they serve people when markets stop serving people we need to all of a sudden wait a second say that's not a good or an outcome that i'm willing to tolerate so if all of a sudden i have to say well charlie you know we gotta tolerate markets wait a second if i have we have a bunch of asu grads or u of a at grads that can't even in the next 10 years conceivably afford a down payment in a home in paradise valley scottsdale mesa chandler or gilbert then what's that going to do that's going to create cynical renters that are more likely to say the system is rigged against them so what i do the arizona legislature should be very clear if you are a multinational firm or a company that is buying for the intent to rent you are not allowed to do it young people and residents of arizona should get priority over multinational firms coming in to buy up our property to rent it back to us and guess what that is actually the market thing to do that is the capitalist thing to do because that will actually create better principles and better behaviors and better citizens you want to create conservatives three things have a young person own property get married and have children you want to create liberals keep them without without being married no kids and have them rent for the rest of their life so what should we do we need bold decisive action to say new york woke firms sitting on 10 trillion dollars have no business swooping into scottsdale buying up our property and making so our 28 29 and 30 year olds can never get a chance at the american dream so many of us did that's the conservative capitalist approach my opinion thank you final word john on just the whole evening my name is john amenchukwu and i approve this message give it up for john everybody what a great man [Applause] we will see you guys next month check out the table for the school dreamcityschools.org and ballots come out july 3rd we're never going to tell you who to vote for we are going to tell you to vote pray about it fast on it and we'll be talking about that the importance of voting in the next one god bless
