Freedom Night in America: July 2021

[Applause] thank you thank you everybody thank you luke it's amazing so before we get started tonight we have a lot to talk about and some great things to talk about about how after just two of these freedom squares we've put points on the board we've been put points on the board here in arizona and i gotta be honest this is an amazing turnout considering it's 175 degrees outside you know before we decided to kind of come to arizona and make this the stand for the entire nation i didn't quite understand the perseverance and the the the intestinal fortitude it took to survive these phoenix summers but it's a little bit easier than chicago winters but i just want to say our partners here at dream city they've been amazing they don't charge us anything to do this they're incredible hosts and i want you to consider maybe the lord has blessed you over the last year or maybe you just got a promotion uh to support some of the initiatives they are doing to actually improve the welfare of the city around us and we don't give to get uh we give because we've got so much and we receive so much and so please join me in welcoming just to go through some of these initiatives and we're going to get right into the news the good news angel barnett from dream city church [Applause] welcome freedom square we are loving seeing you on a regular basis you feel like family isn't it great so much i know we are getting stuff done and i love that this group is really making things happen for arizona but you know a large population of arizona are native american people but they're also the most underserved and in six short weeks we're going to open up our the very first of its kind in the nation a residential life recovery program for men native american men when you agree that we got to start with the men as well they lead the home they they they lead they leave the spiritual welfare of their family the way they treat the family we're going to get to make an impact in that it's going to be a transitional program in which we're working with them with a job force workforce development and putting them into their first job maybe having the first interaction with computer skills that would allow them to have their first job opportunity and just distract them from the addictions of life and give them hopes and dreams and a new trajectory that's what that this dream center is going to do people have been getting behind it and working getting their fingers dirty and they just so proud of what's going on up in the white mountains and wouldn't we all want to make a difference if we knew there was a way but there is a way because we're in position to do so we're going to love on these people and let them know god is not done with you so thank you for letting me share we want you to be able to know there is a way to be a part and there's there's things we're doing tonight in a civic way but there's a part uh that we can play in a person's life that will really last an eternity so there's different um ways to make a donation on the screen but even even your envelope in the seat pocket in front of you a dc foundation that stands for dream city foundation this does not go to the church this goes to the foundation and directly to the programs that are going to make a difference in these amazing people's life thank you guys for being a part thank you angel i can tell you these programs for recovery are so incredibly important after the lockdown this last year we got to step up and and help our fellow neighbor after these unconstitutional and immoral lockdowns and so i want to just reiterate what what we're experiencing right here in arizona is getting a lot of other churches i don't want to say jealous because that's not of the lord but it gets them uh a little bit into a place where they want what we got here let's just put it that way so i'm happy to announce that the vision that we have kind of put forward is now growing with momentum next friday we will be launching freedom square in albuquerque new mexico at steve smotherman's church [Applause] we have also troy maxwell at freedom house in north carolina will be opening up a freedom square in the coming month or two jack hibbs at calgary chapel chino hills will be doing a freedom square rob mccoy in thousand oaks california and many more and we're just getting started so you understand that your attendance here your involvement here you know churches across the country when they see crowds like this on a week night when you have another weeknight program in the next night that's sending a message so you understand that this is gaining momentum all across the country so last month our second freedom square we talked about the need to get involved in school boards and we talked about the chandler unified school district where my chandler people out here somewhere god bless you guys so i i kind of previewed this um very carefully because i didn't want to over uh over preview my plans but i showed up at the chandler unified school district meeting last month so let me tell you about this experience i'd never been at a school board meeting before and i did this in part because i wanted to show the power of freedom square and the power of regular people showing up and holding our school board leaders accountable so i didn't really know what i was doing so you have to show up rather early and you sign in your name and then a crowd kind of starts to form and what was so amazing the first thing i just want to say is how many of you came up to me and said hey we're here because of freedom square we're here because of freedom square now i don't know about you have you ever heard of a school board meeting where there are more people that want to get inside than they have chairs well this was the case right so they only had 25 chairs for us and but there was like 200 people there and i think freedom square is largely responsible for at least half of that right [Applause] and so let's just refresh our memory as to why chandler unified did we just kind of close our eyes and point somewhere on the map no because they were putting forward critical race theory mandatory equity and symposiums for all their teachers and all their instructors and we went through in prior teachings of why that is so dangerous and pernicious and against who we are as americans and who we are as christians so i show up and it's kind of funny the the people that were announcing it they kind of realized that there was some things that don't belong and james t harris also showed up alongside me from kfyi who's just phenomenal and so they you know they're announcing you know joe smith and you know carl and then they said james t harris and then okay and then they're like charlie kirk and it's like not exactly enthused about that right so we're let in we're granted access and so the first thing that i noticed when i showed up to the school board meeting and i want you guys you all understand that you inspire me to also take action when i see these crowds it goes both ways right that i hope that we can inspire you to action but you also inspire those of us that are presenting to actually take more action so i showed up to the uh the media first thing i realized whoever thought this is a good idea should be held accountable and fired why is it the school board members sit 10 feet above you when you enter as if they're on the united states supreme court it's intentionally physically and aesthetically intimidating right it's like i'm going to look down you should be the other way around if you're like no we're going to look down on you we employ you okay and so it's intentionally that way and so you could tell that there was you know a lot of parents that had never spoke before but i have to say before i had an opportunity to speak the courage and the wisdom of parents that have never spoken publicly before about these issues was so inspiring i have not seen this kind of grassroots movement in anything except maybe 10 years ago in the tea party but this is a different type of energy and these were parents that were rising up and they were saying you know what i've never cared about this before but i'm not going to allow you to take my taxpayer dollars to destroy the neighborhood around us now and so i want to play you my my remarks there they only gave me a minute and you're going to hear halfway through the video they interrupt right 30 seconds like right on you cannot go a second over and so for those of you that are going to show up to school board meetings maybe you're inspired you have to embrace the over legalism right the signing in the credentials where you sit how long you speak they're looking for technical reasons to not allow you to speak we navigated all of that and let's just watch my one-minute remarks and we had a lot of fun with this charlie kirk good evening i'm an arizona taxpayer and employer of over 100 people in this state i'm disgusted that you are lying to the citizens of this state and the people that pay your salaries you say critical race theory is not in the school district and then moments later you have someone come up and use that word equity just last week the cusd summer equity symposium was held and it was quote to create systemic change change your leadership thinking how about addressing implied implicit bias for student excellence if you know anything just a little bit about where these ideas and these phrases come from you know that this is stomping on the legacy of martin luther king jr this is a racist vile and evil ideology that has infected this once great school district i implore every single member of the school board to actually learn what you are supporting equity means redistribution if you care about skin color you are a racist that is a bigoted awful idea is against who we are as americans i'm poor this school district thank you that was a lot to fit into a short period of time and that was that was not the best speech of the night i could tell you now i do i do have to say that doing radio every single day and thank you for those of you that listen to us on am 960 every day here kind of gets you used to having to say a lot in a short period of time so it was good training for that but here's the amazing news after these speeches and i'm going to get this exactly right after all that controversy there were two open seats on that school board and 17 patriots and conservatives that had never run for anything before had stepped up to fill those seats 17 people have stepped up to fill those seats [Applause] so we're going to keep our eyes on the chandler unified school district and what's so it was so great through the whole process is that it was evident that the school board members were not used to big crowds they were not used to being held accountable and they were a little bit nervous and i don't wish that upon people right i don't want them to be disco you know uncomfortable at the same time i do want them to feel as if what they're doing is being watched by the people who fund these institutions and so this is now half we're gonna keep our eyes on all this the second thing that happened since the last time we spoke there's been a lot of announcements around this of what we've been involved in i know this can be somewhat of a tricky topic and i'm going to do my best to make it not very controversial or tricky which is this idea around mandatory vaccinations right and so i'm not here to tell you the vaccine's a good idea i'm not here to tell you the vaccine's a bad idea i'm completely neutral on the topic i've personally made the decision that i'm not getting the vaccine and no one should be forced to get the vaccine against their will it's that simple and so [Applause] we saw this and we're seeing this across the country this trend of mandatory vaccinations now some people say well charlie they're not really mandating the vaccines they could always drop out of school for example so basically the way okay so yeah you can only you have to get the vaccine to go live your life like okay sure and so what was happening almost out of nowhere is arizona state university came out with guidance saying that if you don't get the vaccine you must be subject to almost daily testing you must wear a mask at all times indoors and outdoors and if enough class people in the class demand it you have to be forced to take an online class right so basically you don't get any of the same sort of experience as your fellow classmates and so we went really hard against this and so many freedom square attendees joined us in this at an almost instantaneous reaction and we said to arizona state university this is not going to happen we called on the governor to step up and do the right thing and i am pleased to say that within hours governor ducey stepped up and said this has no place in the state of arizona and we are not going to mandate vaccinations for college kids that attend our state universities [Applause] and so this is because of you i'm just i'm making this pattern here this is the largest gathering of pro-freedom people in arizona at a regular basis now it's the largest gathering on a regular basis but i'm going to take a short detour to tell you what will probably be the largest gathering of arizonans hope whoever who know and who knows and so through our political vehicle our 501c4 organization turning point action uh we've been given the opportunity to host president trump on july 24th do we have a graphic for that i think we might if there it is right there and so if anyone's interested in coming it's not an endorsement of trump if you're just interested to hear that you guys can go to tpaction.com rally um and if you guys just put in the promo code you're a freedom square attendee we're gonna do our best that we're gonna do our best let me say that again we'll do our best to try to get you in we have a record amount of interest unlike anything we've ever seen before but that's going to be a very interesting event where we talk about um by the way we're going to be promoting freedom square and highlighting some of the mothers and people running for school board real life arizona issues and so just want us and by the way the people in and president trump's orbit have been keeping eyes on what's been happening here at freedom square and it really really i think played a big role in him wanting to come out on july 24th and so mark that on your calendar we're really excited about that okay and that's not it so we won on the mandatory vaccination program but also the last time we talked who spoke you might remember that i took a very um i was very careful but also very disappointed that the governor was not taking more decisive action on some very important pending legislative items and i told you to contact the governor and contact your legislators now it wasn't a perfect reversal but i could tell you that there are now more points on the board than i even expected for example hb 2906 authored by representative jake hoffman quote fully bans the hateful racist and divisive critical race theory at all levels of government within our state including schools and this is the first in nation legislation to combat crt in a sweeping fashion making arizona the national leader in combating the divisive curriculum signed into law [Applause] hb 2898 this is a law which ensures that students cannot be taught that one race ethnic group or sex is in any way superior to another or that anyone should be discriminated against the basis of these characteristics the law allows a fine up to five thousand dollars for schools that violate this law and these two work in concert again signed into law so they're right there so we identified a problem here at in may and don't underestimate the combined power of thousands of people gathering and collaborating you contacted legislators if you saw fit in this session and all of a sudden you've now seen arizona take bold and dramatic action against these problems now you know what's so incredible about this what's incredible is that this embodies leadership this embodies and who's leading you are that's the true form of government isn't it because the people in charge should be taking their cues from you and when big crowds congregate and messages are sent around what we demand that's how we start to get this stuff done that's how we start to implement this form of policy and i'm not done hb 2905 is a piece of legislation for an election integrity that bans the mass mailing of ballots to voters who did not request an early ballot the legislation also adds a class 5 felony for county recorders who go rogue and willfully violate this law also hb2035 is curriculum transparency and parental notification piece of legislation that provides parents with an opportunity to participate in review and provide input on any proposed sexual education curriculum or course of study before it becomes adopted [Applause] now i want to reiterate this this might seem obvious but while arizona is now taking a pro-freedom moral stance the rest of the country is going the other direction where in so the legislation prohibits sexual education from occurring kindergarten to fourth grade you might say well charlie that's obvious obviously well in chicago where just last week they announced that fifth graders will be given free access to condoms that's happening in chicago fifth graders that's the difference between leadership and decay now some people say charlie how do we prevent californians from coming to our state and wanting to destroy it you know honestly one of the ways we prevent that from happening is when we implement policies that they hate then they might not actually live we'll go move here and live here i might want to actually if they love critical race theory i'm sorry arizona is not the state for you if you want fifth graders to be taught sexual education arizona might not be the state for you and the point is that when you lead and not follow all of a sudden as it says as it says in jeremiah 29 7 we talk this is kind of the theme verse of freedom square that contest or demand the welfare of the city or the nation at which you are in because your city's welfare is your welfare and that's exactly what we're doing here today so i just want to say that in the course of 60 to 90 days since starting this we put points on the board and if you're like me i don't want to let up i want to play offense i want to keep on making arizona a leader in these sort of pro-freedom pro-american reforms so now i want to get to two things that have really been on my heart to talk about uh biblical things and we're gonna do some questions guys i always feel like we're rushing with questions and i really want to get into those i know a lot of you have things you want to share and things you want to get to and things you want to explore together so the first thing is i want to talk about this idea of being propagandized to do something that you know is wrong now it doesn't just pertain to some of the covid issues or the vaccine i'm just talking in general what do we christians do what are we supposed to do when you see something is wrong but everyone around you is telling you something completely and totally different well there's a very interesting psychological study that is on this it's called the ash conformity test some of you might be aware of this the ash conformity test was a lab experiment with 50 male students from swather moore college so here's how it worked they were told when they were signing up that they were participating in a vision test it wasn't a vision test the participants were actually being misled intentionally to find out what is the power of group and mob psychology so there was one person that was actually being tested and four people that were in on it so they brought everyone into the room and the one person would always go last who was the test subject so this person would be sitting over here and the other four people would be lined up so at the front of the room they would draw three lines and they would ask one after the other which line is longer than the other and what happened is despite the apparent and obvious difference that one line was longer than the other if the four people consec consent con sexual consent can it's been a long week today consecutively thank you said that one that the line that was actually shorter was longer 75 of the time the last respondent would go against what they saw and instead of what they heard so i'm going to tell you i'm going to read this study for yourself so there were 18 trials in total and seven students who were on the experiment purposely gave the wrong answer 12 times 12 out of 18. and the head of this study solomon elliott ash said quote the tendency to conform in our society is so strong that reasonably intelligent and well-meaning young people i would say all people are willing to call white black this is a matter of concern it raises questions about the ways our education system functions and the values that guide our conduct i'm going to reiterate this throughout 12 trials about three-fourths of participants conformed at least once and one out of four participants never conformed so you here today are the one in four of that trial that refused to conform now just to give you an idea that this is not sampling error when they did this individually without the other people around them less than one percent of respondents gave the wrong answer so one percent versus 75 and i feel right now and i see in america this crisis of conforming this crisis that you have to give the same answer as the four people next to you even though you see that one line is longer than the other even though you say that's not the right decision for me i know it's not well the four people next to you are saying that i'm sure all of you feel this almost on a daily basis and it has a psychological almost torment where you start to question yourself am i seeing things correctly am i processing information and when participants were interviewed after the experiment most of them said that they did not believe they were conforming their answers but they went along with the group out of fear of being ridiculed i want you to think about that they didn't say to the people afterwards why'd you give that answer they said it's because i was afraid of ridicule line a is shorter line a is shorter line a is shorter line a is shorter and you see obviously that line a is not shorter but you're you're very likely to conform because you don't want the ridicule and a few of them even stated in this study that they thought the group's answer was correct they were convinced against their own lying eyes that the virus didn't come from a laboratory or whatever the experiment concluded that people can form for two main reasons they want to fit in which is called normative influence and because they believe the group is more informed than they are which is informational influence now so many christians are going through this right now and this psychological study confirms a truth of the bible it confirms something that paul wrote about in romans romans 12 2 do not be conformed to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind that by testing you may discern what is the will of god and what is good and acceptable and perfect you see what we're living through right now is too many christians are listening to the four answers before them instead of listening to what god wants them for their life and looking at what the wisdom of the lord is and this applies to almost everything that's happening right now i have never seen in my life and i'm sure you agree such propaganda such pressure to do something that you know is wrong to do something that even you see that one line is shorter than the other but we know how that psychology works but i could tell you one of the powers of this gathering here tonight is for you to know that two thousand other people see that one line is shorter than the other that two 000 other people see the nonsense that is happening whether on television radio or podcasting or on social media but again the scriptures say do not be conformed to the pattern of this world so here's the test for you before the next time we meet next month which will be on a wednesday right joe we're moving it to wednesday next month which is the next time you're in a group setting at work with your family with your friends on social media and those four people say something that you could see is wrong are you going to be willing to answer it honestly and maybe face some ridicule that's the question because the bible tells us do not that's a forcible teaching isn't it do not conform instead stand firmly on truth against the pattern of this world and we know who runs the world the world is enemy occupied territory you could call it anything you want you can call it the serpent you can call it satan you can call it the devil this world jesus called satan the prince of this world and so are you going to conform to that pattern are you going to stand firmly for truth the second thing i want to share with you then we'll get to some questions which i think is really important which kind of ties together with this idea of conformity but it's really what we're living through right now which is actually where we get the word education from so the word education comes from a latin word which means to lead forth now an interesting question is what are you leading them forth from or out of well actually in the original latin it means to lead forth from out of the cave now for those of you that know your plato or your socrates it's okay we're going to walk through all of it this is actually where the first idea of education was passed on and i'm going to show you right now in an illustration what our public education system is doing and what we have to do about it what socrates told plato 2500 years ago what does the bible tell us about that most importantly because these these metaphors and these teachings can be helpful but if these studies contradict the teachings of the bible i i cast them away that's why i like the ash conformity test because it literally tells you what romans 1 2 tells and so the allegory of the cave something a lot of people would hear if they actually were being taught in college it's not happening but the allegory of the cage cave is something that's really important this is something that was passed down for generation after generation of how we are living and existing and this is exactly what i think is happening right now on cnn it's happening on social media and so many of your friends and i'm going to show you a picture of this so socrates told plato socrates taught plato plato taught aristotle i think we'll be able to get the picture up if not i'll do my best to illustrate the best i can we have it up okay this is called the allegory of the cave this is the basis of the word education so it's not just some bizarre thing out there imagine people who have been imprisoned since birth so that's them on the bottom left hand corner okay they share a cell that is completely dark except for one wall which they look at all day long which is illuminated by an unseen and unrecognized source of light so there's a light at their back illuminating the wall of the cave prison guards and other prisoners boxes and carts pass between the light and the wall casting shadows the inmates are incapable of interacting with each other except through speech and all these prisoners see are the shadows on the wall which they deem to be reality these people come to name the shadows and have conversations about them and take them to be real objects as the shadow world is the only world that they have ever known one day one of the prisoners escapes and sees that some of the prison guards have been passing shapes in front of the fire so they're the prison guards are standing elevated the fire is illuminating it and they're making almost puppets that are casting a shadow on the wall somewhat easy to understand it's a little bit complicated but once she comes to see the shadows for what they are which is only partial representations of real things sound familiar only previously perceived in rough shapes and approximations the freed prisoner escapes the prison itself and sees for the first time the sun-lit world at first the sun-lit world causes our escapee to squint and her vision is blurry she experiences pain irritation and even a longing for the comfort of her familiar cell she's then tempted to return to her former life however after a time her eyes adjust and she comes to see things differently rather than as shadows she comes to see real trees cars and so on so the difference between shadows and things that cast light on them what's happening right now in our education system and in media and in social media and from our public health officials is we are not seeing the full truth of the truth at all we are seeing a shadow being broadcast on the wall that we're told to look at all day long that we are seeing a simulation of a shadow and what happens is once people break free i mean how many people here have been what we call red pills anyone where you used to be on the left and now you're not i love people so by the way i love the matrix i think it gets in we're just having a whole conversation about this before but how the matrix is like one of the most underrated actual christian films i could get into that actually it's more than you might think right trinity morpheus neo you know reword it the one anyway that's a different conversation red pill blue pill right you take the red pill we'll see how long the rabbit hole actually goes blue pill wake up in your you know your bed by the way if you want to take the blue pill like fine just watch cnn get your stimulus check wear two masks and you'll live a great life right like whatever um but you won't be free i could tell you that so [Applause] and so the bible tells us that we should pursue truth even if it makes our eyes squint and we should always question what we are living through is actually rooted in reality in acts 28 27 it says for this people's heart has grown dull with their ears they can barely hear and their eyes they have the closest lust that they should see with their eyes and hear at their ear and understand what their hearts turn and i would heal them and hosea 4 6 says what the question is why are people destroyed that's a great question isn't it so leo tostoy was one of my favorite authors wrote wrote war and peace not exactly an easy afternoon read but he had a great question he said what is the power that moves nations why do some people succeed and other people do not succeed the bible tells us the bible tells us in hosea 4 6 my people are destroyed because of a lack of knowledge that's what the bible says that my people are destroyed due to a lack of knowledge my people wither away in that cave staring at a shadow all day long little do they know it's a simulation of what's actually happening and what all of you are here tonight living through is you've decided to break those chains because you've been born new by jesus christ first and foremost who is the breaker of the ultimate chains and then you get in the world you see everything differently you see things like oh that commercial doesn't actually say that like i see what they're trying to make me do and then here's the interesting part so socrates predicted his own death you may not may or may not know this but socrates was accused by his peers by a 51 vote of being a heretic or being someone that was corrupting the young and he was basically assassinated to be a rough word but he was murdered similar to jesus by his peers um and he was actually forced to commit suicide by a certain drug simply for asking questions and pursuing truth now what socrates did though in this illustration he said you know what happens when most people are freed from their chains they're angry because they realize they used to be in a place of comfort how many of you have friends and family where you've shown them the truth about something in the last year in the news cycle you're like no no actually there's a thing called theirs v-a-e-r-s i don't want to hear it i don't like it i want to just focus on the shadow you see we as christians we must pursue light not just the light of the fire but get out of the cave and the ultimate purpose and that's what we're living through right now what i want to say just to kind of close us all together is that if we're going to be destroyed it's what hosea says will be destroyed due to lack of knowledge and that's what we should be doing in our education system to lead forth remember to lead forth out of the cave that's not a good place human beings are not made in god's image to be chained to a wall and watching shadows all day long that is not why god made us he wants us to worship him to obey his commands to live obediently and yes live free thanks to jesus christ in the same way that we should contest for our local government so i want to just encourage you right now i want to encourage you to tie this all together and then we'll get to questions is that we're putting points on the board we are starting to make real movement now don't be surprised though if the enemy tries to make a counter-attack at this moment and that's why we have to keep on gathering keep on praying keep on reading keep on organizing keep on doing real things but all of us right here in the business that we're in at turning point usa every single day as we just by the way we just launched the largest ever anti-mandatory let me say it again for the journalists that don't watch anything ant or anti anti-mandatory vaccine project for college and high school kids across the country [Applause] because i know all of us have days sometimes where we wish we didn't know as much as we know right but we didn't see all of it because it makes you a little bit like it makes you squint because you have to be exposed to the sunlight we wish we could do a sea chain to the cave and just watch hulu and netflix all day long because that feels good right because it's kind of just forms right that's kind of what hulu and netflix literally is right stare at the screen stare at the screen that's what tick-tock is by the way you want to see what the allegory of the cave is it's literally tick-tock right it's nothing is real it's all made up it's to music it's other people making like all day long break three of that everybody and lean on each other lean on the word of god and so to tie all that together where we are headed in the next couple months i could just see it and we have a really good ability at our program and our podcast to kind of see things you know as they're happening not before they happen that they're going to try everything they possibly can in the next 30 60 90 days to ridicule to mock to intimidate to do everything they can against you to make you conform to their demands so the question is are you going to conform to the word or to the world and i know tonight and here at freedom square we are here to say that we are going to obey god's commands not that of the world and i want all of you to know you're not alone and we are going to win that fight together all right let's do some questions god bless you guys and as we get lined up here i just always wanted to say if you guys want to listen to these conversations in full or if you want to hear some of our conversations that we had with all sorts of subject matter experts you could do that uh by checking out the charlie kirk show podcast on your phone um and it's easy it's free of charge i know a lot of you already subscribed so i'm telling you something you're already listening to but it really blesses us so thank you so much okay um that's an old book of mine so charlie you've read pilled me years ago so thank you that is the greatest compliment i thank you so much i was asleep so i i was morpheus with the two absolutely absolutely so here we are fast forward you know we go about our daily lives and what we're seeing happening in the world is wrong what you're doing with the no forced vaccine campaign is amazing i resigned from my pharmaceutical career in pr and digital marketing to join this fight so i want a partner thank you i want to join this fight and partner and bring my insights and skills because what we're seeing in the world is wrong and if we don't stand up and make a change and choose to not be a part of it then we're part of the problem i i love it and so thank you and i want you all understand how rare that is quitting a job and pursuing truth that should be applauded and you should be supported the only way so people say charlie how is it that we're going to stop cancel culture first of all i don't like the term i don't know about you i don't like the term just too overly broad the way we're going to stop cancel culture is when all of a sudden when they cancel somebody it's actually not a punishment it's a blessing that's when we're going to stop it where when they go after you because of a certain belief that you don't fall but you rise up all of a sudden and they're gonna this will be a complete and total daytime the reason they do this is because they think it's a punishment because they think they can actually hold you hold that against you what you're pledging yourself to which is to get in this fight above a career comes at a cost it comes at a very real cost but i want to commend you i want to encourage you because that cost is worth it and i said this this last weekend at pastor jurgens church at awaken in uh san marcos amazing guys uh awesome church and phenomenal people which is this is a hard truth but i think you all get this and i have to say honestly if i would have said this two years ago the room would have emptied out because no one wanted to hear this two years ago especially when president trump was president which is that for us to be able to get back the republic that we love it's going to cost all of you something and that's not something people like to hear i think you are actually all more prepared for that message and that might mean a job promotion that might mean a career it definitely will mean friendships that's the first thing to go right it'll definitely mean social status and amongst other things but the cost is not just worth it but there's a blessing waiting for you on the other side so the question is would i rather be materially prosperous but spiritually shackled that's a question would i like to be materially prosperous but spiritually shackled i would much rather be materially struggling and spiritually free any single day of the week and i know so many people would other and i could tell you that when people make that decision like you to act boldly and trust the lord and obey his commands then all of a sudden incredible things happen in more ways than once i just want to commend you and i haven't seen that book for quite a while so i just want to thank you i want to try to get as many students to ask questions if we can or young people so you guys are able to kind of jump um politely if you so choose yes okay hello again charlie it's good to see you and before i ask my question which is a perfect segue into this education that you were talking about earlier i just want to go ahead and say once again thank you for all that you do you're going to be doing these new freedom squares i get your podcast i get your newscast i get i watch you on you i don't know where you find the time to do everything thank you for all thank you for saying that thank you now the question that i have has to do with a podcast that you had last week and it it is biblical where it says in proverbs 22 6 train up a child and the way he should go and when he gets older he will not depart from it and so what's happening right now as you know our kids in grade school and high school are being taught all the crt stuff all the ungodly stuff but on friday i heard your podcast and you talked about cameras and classrooms yes so would you please reiterate that for this group because oh i'm wonderful thank you um so i'm just gonna put a disclaimer because i got a lot of emails after this i'd say 95 of the emails were positive but the five percent that were negative were like really nastily negative so i just need to kind of put this out there conservative teachers are really worried about this proposal and yes there are conservative teachers out there willing to listen to those concerns but let me just kind of tell you my belief it's very logical and it's super simple when i drop off my dog to doggy daycare i can watch my dog on a webcam and whether or not that dog is being treated correctly and humanely when you drop your kid off at school you should be able to watch your kid in the classroom on a webcam to see if that child is being instructed morally and correctly and being led forth in the right way it's very simple and so i'm going to say something that the world will cont consider to be controversial which i consider to be not controversial so i just have to give these like disclaimers all the time because i don't want people to pass out which is that i believe that public sector teachers are doing far more harm to our country than police officers ever have or ever will and police officers are forced to wear body cameras in almost every single city in every state across the country now the downside is some people say well these conservatives are work teachers they're gonna be worried that they're gonna be kind of monitored all day long again who's in charge who's paying what bill we're all paying a lot in arizona income tax and we're paying too much by the way because of a lot of different other reasons and as long as they work for us and as long as they're pushing this nonsense then we should have audits like we audit our election we audit our companies we audit the finances of nonprofits at turning point usa we go through an audit i know you guys do every year at dream city right and we've always gotten a clean bill of health and i know dream city has as well and it's extensive right where you bring an outside firm and they go through the whole thing yet we don't do that for curriculum we don't do that for teachers almost never in our public education system so i think it's rather logical and if the left and i hate using that term but if the you know if that side decides they want to all of a sudden have a surveillance state against every sort of group of people they don't like for example like border patrol agents or police officers well then okay if you think that that's the case then there should be no reason that we can't have a stable classroom in the camera that goes on when the classroom begins and goes off when the classroom ends password protected only for parents not to be abused by creeps and perverts in the local area audited by community review board to see what's being taught what is being taught you want to see all of a sudden this indoctrination cut off at its knees you want us you want to see the rumors of the teacher bullying you be confronted with the truth of what actually happens and here's why also i don't actually have that much sympathy for that is that i am constantly being filmed it's not fun i'm at an airport someone always has a camera on me waiting for me to slip up do something embarrassing right all the time right and so this idea like we live in kind of an era where you're kind of going to be in under attention if you're going to be in a certain position i'm not even talking about like talking when they come to school i'm in the classroom at a specific period of time and the and if you pay those taxes by the way let's just make sure we understand the morals of this the children are not the states they're not like they're yours we just have to keep on reminding ourselves that right the children are not the states they are yours and you are tasked with the legal and moral authority to raise those children up in the ways and your beautiful proverbs passage is that so what is the application of this i think at every single arizona school district we should propose cameras in classrooms and do it do it very prudently right with wisdom we don't obviously want to try to film things that at times when like kids are casting in hallways or whatever like just we have to just do it where we can calm down any of the fear mongers but again with technology this stuff's super easy we're literally streaming thousands of people right now right so i don't quite sympathize with this idea like oh we don't have the money like okay have you seen some of the schools in scottsdale recently like don't give me this thing like you don't have the money right and so i think this is an easy way to empower you to be able to stop the nonsense that's happening these classrooms i encourage all of us to bring this back to our local school districts and propose this as legitimate solutions to what we've been experiencing so thank you hello charlie my name is tanner um i was raised in a very patriotic family i'm the kind of person that cries when the national anthem happens by the way that is the most awesome flag i've ever seen in a church [Applause] my brother and i both joined the military we're happy to serve thank you for your service thank you um something that i wanted to ask was how to instill that patriotism in my generation because i see it less and less and especially with fourth of july that just happened i i want to see it again so can i just ask you a question amongst your friends and your peers do you think that there's like a diminishing level of patriotism amongst them i think so yeah i'm hearing this a lot so we we kind of know why this happened obviously well because we just went through a solution to how to fix it but through our public schools and through our many different ways there's been a deliberate campaign to get people to feel ashamed of their history and of their past now what you're not thankful for you're not going to preserve right so i'm just going to prove this in your regular life obviously right so you're not thankful for that expired like half used bottle of shampoo the shampoo expire i guess i don't know what whatever you're just gonna throw it away right you're not gonna preserve that right but you're gonna preserve your father's dog tag when he served at iwo jima like you're gonna preserve that that'll be the last thing that you give up so what you don't appreciate you're going to throw away and what we've done is we've told young people that america is that expired half bottle of shampoo you might as well just throw it away it's a terrible place and that has been done intergenerationally it's been done by people in charge it's been done by corporations unfortunately it's been done through political leaders and through government leaders and so this is part of one of the reasons why we're doing what we're doing at turning point usa and so i'm happy to say that we're gonna have a huge announcement next week in like five days where we're going to be announcing america fest it'll be happening in december um in phoenix i'm not even sure if i'm allowed to say this publicly but i'm it's going to be like the largest pro american celebration ever here in phoenix and we're going to be bringing in all sorts of amazing things because i share your concern and there is a deliberate campaign to try to have people have ingratitude and quite honestly indifference to this beautiful gift we've been given so some churches by the way are participating in this and i believe it is unbiblical to not give thanks and to preserve and to protect things that were given to you that you did not make and that you did not create in fact we call those things gifts from the lord so you know what all of us have in common we all were born into a world we did not create so we were all born into a world we didn't create every person that's that's human equality you want to talk about human equality it's the one thing we all have in common well at different ages we all enter different worlds right but even the oldest person in this room entered a republic in america that is the greatest experiment in self-government ever in the history of the world and it has allowed more opportunity more prosperity and it had by every objective measurement possible it is the greatest it is the greatest success story of government and a people ever and we're at risk of losing it but i'm optimistic i know people say charlie how could you possibly be optimal i'm optimistic because look we started this in maine we got points on the board right i'm optimistic because it is 145 degrees outside and we're filling this place up and people are waiting in line to ask things and ask questions on how and i'm seeing this happen all across the country all of a sudden i'm seeing again i'm going to say something political so we're a 501c3 organization i'm going to say this personally but i'm seeing this happen in california where like gavin newsom is on the ropes and larry elder declared for governor and like there's all these things that are happening and larry elder's a good friend of mine he's terrific and so i'm seeing movement and momentum and people say charlie what are the numbers when here's what i think here's what i know what the numbers are i know at least we got one out of four people in the ash experiment that are going to stand up to the liars next to them i'll take 25 i'll take it i'll take 25 i'll go in the culture battle with all of you guys with 25 because i'll tell you for every person that said no to the other people in that ash experiment there's at least double that that wish they would have said and that you speak for those people and that's what we call the silent majority and i can tell you right now in every local election i can tell you right now in every cultural issue that they are on defense and we are on offense every single one now that's not going to happen automatically you have to stay in prayer you have to stay obedient you have to stay active and you cannot stay passive and just be a spectator throughout this but more fundamentally about america we have to start younger we got to start with our five six and seven-year-olds about why america is an awesome place why it's worthy preserving and protecting we have to be very clear about july 4th and we've got to be celebrating the history of it and why it came to be and then finally what i love about this flag right here it's so beautiful is that we should teach why that flag exists what is the history but what does it stand for this stands for biblical values it stands for the equality of human beings stands for being made in the image of god it stands for representative government checks and balances on power it stands for the rights of the minority it stands for religious liberty that's a beautiful thing worth preserving and you and i we're going to turn this generation around i'll tell you okay next up [Applause] yeah i have a couple of announcements to make but uh before i let's do questions because i'm sure everyone's got an announcement so let's do questions uh let's see well i guess i'd just like to say thank you for your inspiring leadership and bringing us all together here tonight so thank you for saying that yeah i really appreciate that but um anyway um i wish there was some way that uh you know i have handed out some flyers here and stuff about our event tomorrow night and um so uh just be aware that there are other opportunities to get together here as patriots on a regular basis so yeah i i would just urge you to check that out and take advantage of it and if you have any questions what's your name again my name is steve if anyone is interested they can go find steve and god bless you thank you for being here tonight okay thank you hi charlie i sat next to you at the uh chandler school board meeting i remember we were all were we wearing masks or not i can't remember yeah oh we don't wear masks good for you thank you so much for being there and all of the stuff that that you are doing is bringing light to um what we've been fighting there's a bunch of us parents who've been fighting this for over two and a half years and we were unheard we would tell people about it they thought we were crazy that's not happening in our school district president trump comes out critical race theory and everyone's like what's that what's that now you all know it was once corwin's deep equity that's what we were fighting walt blackman helped us is he here legislator i thought he was a good man right he was there helping us two and a half years ago that term critical race theory morphs and while i was very very grateful for our legislators to pass that bill that we weren't going to have critical race theory the very next day i'm told that social emotional learning is now mandatory so social critical race theory is embedded into social emotional learning and i just want you to know that that is what our superintendent current superintendent kathy hoffman will probably run on she's going to save the kids with social emotional learning that is embedded with critical race theory and this is in chandler it's everywhere everywhere yes so they try to fool you with social emotional work because you're like oh they need it kids need it kovid we were locked down i you have to be aware of this i also wanted to say very quickly i am on a school board i did never attend the asba training until they started training on equity and i had to go so i asked my superintendent if i could go to the training and i went down to turning point and shared the videos remember you guys so that you had so they know that this is actually being taught like it is the color of the skin when they say it's not they're lying to you it is i went through the training um super quick because i really want to get the question so i'm on the school board i am i have to get reelected and it's going to be rough because i was an activist and they say you can't you have to make sure you have to decide if you're going to be a candidate or an activist and i am both and so i have a spotlight on me a little bit because i fought masks like all of that stuff in the school district i want you guys to know moms dads grandmas grandpas anybody you get on a school board you get to make the change you have the power in that school to make a change and you need to do it because it's so important i can't even tell you awesome thank you so much all right let's try to keep it to questions guys okay thank you sure hi charlie my name is marissa hamilton there's one update on election integrity that you didn't announce which is that uh general branovich today indicted someone from voter fraud and my question for you is that the arizona legislature they supported adding a 500 000 annual budget to audit voter registrations how do other states that don't have as awesome of legislators like jake hoffman get those things to happen in their state too i've known jake for years i'm glad to hear you say his name i said it as well so let me just talk about other states really quick if that's okay are you guys interested in other state audits at all are you guys interested in that okay um set your dvr for tucker carlson show tomorrow evening you're about to see the mainstreaming of a lot of the questions you had there's a lot of things going around with georgia we've been into this actually we're going back to the office tonight to go review all of this evidence review some of the new stuff you guys know we're super careful on our live streams and our podcast because look there sometimes are people that are kind of like the ready shoot aim crowd right like i don't we don't do that right so we we're very methodical um we've seen some things out of georgia that go to show separate entries and again you know i wouldn't say this i'll be careful because we're streaming live i don't want to lose our youtube um this is something we have to go through right you guys should all use rumble.com by the way rumble.com um which is um how do i say this about losing the youtube feed um so orwellian no it really is uh that there are duplicate ballots that look like they were run through the machines based on the videos that we saw um and there's real evidence of that it's no longer suspicion it's come out in a lawsuit because a judge a democrat judge has allowed this thing to proceed um pretty heroically and it's been tucker has teased this and it looks like he's gonna do a whole show on this tomorrow evening um where we all know kind of like when tucker covers something it kind of just goes everywhere right um highest rated cable news show ever and you know he does a pretty amazing job so georgia keep an eye on that and what's so disappointing is that if that's the case then the republican running for the senate in georgia wouldn't have gone to a runoff david perdue which means the senate would be in republican hands which would have changed the entire dynamics of all of this stuff but reversing it's going to be hard i just want to make sure you're all clear there is no blueprint to reversal um not saying it's impossible it's just that's really unprecedented um george is going to conduct an audit it looks like pennsylvania has the votes in the state senate to actually do an audit state senator i can't remember his name doug yeah that's right magistrano is that right mastriano it's this beautiful italian name right um i just call him doug he's great um and he's doing the audit there wisconsin and uh michigan are kind of non-starters um but we're gonna wait to see what this audit produces but before anything else i want the georgia thing to come to light because i think it's going to all of a sudden validate a lot of our questions that we've had over the last seven to nine months and the fact that tucker teased it on a show yesterday and i think i know exactly what he's going to do tomorrow because we've been fed we've kind of seen the same sort of things you guys might have saw this morning on steve bannon's show um but again we're super careful about what we talk about with this stuff because there's also these different dynamics it's looking like potentially thousands of duplicate ballots were run through in georgia um and that that evidence now exists right um and so if that's the case um i don't know what that means again i say allegedly but um that could very well in my opinion open up justifying means to audit every single vote every person on the voter registration rules and go through that completely and totally and categorically um we have been told since the beginning that we are destroying our country we are a threat to democracy that we are terrible and awful people and we amongst other people have persisted for truth because we're not supposed to conform and there's been some things that have not been out there that have been true but i think a lot of people uh if you watch tucker tomorrow night are gonna have uh gonna kind of breathe a sigh of relief because i think that the momentum is gonna change i don't wanna hype it too much but i if you've seen what i've seen you'd believe the same sort of thing so thank you so much appreciate it charlie first and foremost thanks for all that you do we appreciate all your time and effort uh protecting our country thank you appreciate that um i'm pretty new to politics i was a student athlete not too many years ago so i wasn't super in tune with what was going on politically in the last you know year or two um has really opened my eyes to what the left's all about what the rights all about and quite honestly i'm disgusted with the left i think they're corrupt i think they're hypocrites they hate our country and they're very vocal about that um and quite honestly their socialists and communist policies are in direct opposition of the american dream and everything that our country stands for so my question to you is can the left and right coexist in a country that somewhat resembles america moving forward because i obviously i think as you alluded to arizona might be moving in the right direction but other states might be heading in the wrong direction and so you know where do you see this going how do you see you know the left and the right living together in the united states in the future yeah i i want to live together i want to get back to the place i want the country i grew up in i grew up in 1993 and like in the early 2000s like we didn't talk about this stuff and it was a different country it just it's changed in 10 years and again i'm not an alarmist you guys know me we're on really fragile footing here we're we're close to passing lines that cannot be retreated from where mistakes will be made all of a sudden those are reference points for extremism do you guys understand what i'm saying like once and that's not good it's bad we should try to calm that down we should be blessed are the peacemakers let me say that again blessed are the peacemakers our foreign adversaries internationally including in my opinion the greatest instrument for evil in the world and for satanic purposes the chinese communist party would love to see america broken up into 30 different pieces right so i don't think that's a solution i don't think we should embrace it i think we should try to get back to this idea of e pluribus unum all all you know which is a latin phrase it's part of the american trinity which actually i should talk about america has a trinity just like the christian trinity the christian trinity can be best seen in the text in matthew 3 when jesus is baptized jesus the son holy spirit came down upon him and the father says out loud this is my son and i am very well pleased right that is the trinity right don't ask me to explain it there have been volumes of books written about it's the way it is you don't like to go find a different theology right that's my best example right basically it's that simple if i understood everything that god did he wouldn't be worth worshiping let me just put it that way right so let me just be very clear now there's an american trinity too which is liberty in god we trust any pluribus unum um dennis prager coined this term which is that these are the three core ideas if you do not have for example we don't have christianity if we don't believe in the christian trinity the father son of the holy spirit right and the father spoke existence in the world sent us on to save us spirit fills us so that we can fulfill his commands until jesus return very simple right how the trinity connects us all throughout the biblical text the same way as in the history of america if we don't have liberty which means the pursuit of virtue if we don't believe in god we trust and we don't believe in the in the phrase e pluribus unum which means out of many one which means i don't care about your color i don't care about your background i don't care about your your culture i don't care all i care about is if are you part of the american family are you willing to embrace it and believe in the american creed the american creed is something that my grandparents generation knew by heart and no one even knows what the american creed is anymore they used to say it on radio all the time i know radio used to be a big thing i'm trying to bring radio back by the way um it's kind of nice because they don't censor what i have to say it's like super great um unlike this current nonsense i have to deal with um which is the american creed is super simple you're made in god's image you have certain unalienable rights if you work hard and play by the rules and you honor your country and honor god you're probably going to succeed and you you're you are at least deserving of that promise that's like the american creed right so let me tell you what the biggest barrier to all of this is and that's why i focused on e pluribus i'm gonna go do a couple more questions if that's okay guys okay um is i was talking to a reporter i'm not gonna say what this reporter is and she said yeah charlie you said it seems like you're willing to agree with the other side on a lot of different things i said i am i think that's not a good thing that amazon is as big as they are i don't think it's a good thing that there's insider dealing but she said the one thing that you seem to constantly disagree with is this issue of race and i said what do you mean she said it's the itch and she said at best she said the left and the right are never going to get along because they can't agree on race i said well what is the left's position on race exactly like i'm really curious like how do you even have a political position on race right it's like either you're a racist or not like what is the political position on race and she said well that there's entrenched white supremacy in all of our institutions and then we have to make bold and dramatic action to remake america i said okay now i see
