Charlie Kirk Today | Charlie Kirk: August 15, 2025 | Charlie Kirk Today | August 15, 2025
- Brought to you in part by the
- 00:00:00.757 --> 00:00:02.459
- International fellowship of christians and jews.
- 00:00:02.459 --> 00:00:14.671
- President donald trump confirmed
- 00:00:15.371 --> 00:00:16.840
- During his press conference on monday
- 00:00:16.840 --> 00:00:18.808
- That the administration
- 00:00:18.808 --> 00:00:20.076
- Is looking at no decisions have been made.
- 00:00:20.076 --> 00:00:22.278
- So it's a perfect time for us
- 00:00:22.278 --> 00:00:23.780
- To submit our argument for consideration.
- 00:00:23.780 --> 00:00:27.684
- Looking at reclassifying marijuana, the reclassification
- 00:00:27.684 --> 00:00:32.188
- Would move marijuana out of a schedule one drug.
- 00:00:32.188 --> 00:00:36.025
- It would then get moved down to schedule three,
- 00:00:36.025 --> 00:00:38.228
- Which is for drugs with moderate to low potential
- 00:00:38.228 --> 00:00:41.598
- For physical and psychological dependance,
- 00:00:41.598 --> 00:00:44.634
- Such as anabolic steroids
- 00:00:44.634 --> 00:00:47.537
- And testosterone.
- 00:00:47.537 --> 00:00:49.906
- President trump said he has not made a final decision
- 00:00:49.906 --> 00:00:52.775
- And he is still weighing it.
- 00:00:52.775 --> 00:00:54.544
- So here is the view that we have on this program.
- 00:00:54.544 --> 00:00:57.580
- The view that i have in particular
- 00:00:57.580 --> 00:00:59.849
- Is that, of course, marijuana is not good for you.
- 00:00:59.849 --> 00:01:02.752
- You know,
- 00:01:03.052 --> 00:01:03.753
- A lot of people will say that
- 00:01:03.753 --> 00:01:04.821
- While marijuana has all these wonderful upsides,
- 00:01:04.821 --> 00:01:07.457
- You can use it to relax and to go to sleep.
- 00:01:07.457 --> 00:01:10.760
- We have vastly underestimated.
- 00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:13.863
- This is the first contention, even if you are in favor
- 00:01:13.863 --> 00:01:16.733
- Of legalization and in favor of reclassification,
- 00:01:16.733 --> 00:01:20.737
- You have to agree that there has been a
- 00:01:20.737 --> 00:01:25.408
- There has been a
- 00:01:25.808 --> 00:01:26.609
- Downplaying of the negative parts
- 00:01:26.609 --> 00:01:30.513
- Of widespread and casual and recreational
- 00:01:30.513 --> 00:01:35.018
- Marijuana use.
- 00:01:35.018 --> 00:01:38.154
- We have abundant parts of that, like we have abundant
- 00:01:38.154 --> 00:01:41.691
- Pieces of data at this point, to be able to go piece by piece
- 00:01:41.691 --> 00:01:46.829
- And ask the question, has this made people healthier?
- 00:01:46.829 --> 00:01:51.134
- Is it making society healthier?
- 00:01:51.134 --> 00:01:53.603
- Is it making people sicker?
- 00:01:53.603 --> 00:01:55.939
- So let's just go through some of the data
- 00:01:55.939 --> 00:01:57.874
- Just on the health aspects.
- 00:01:57.874 --> 00:01:59.175
- I think it's important to first talk about.
- 00:01:59.175 --> 00:02:01.911
- So from the data that we have in front of us, numerous
- 00:02:01.911 --> 00:02:05.615
- Longitudinal longitudinal studies
- 00:02:05.615 --> 00:02:07.917
- Link heavy marijuana use, especially in adolescents,
- 00:02:07.917 --> 00:02:11.821
- To increased risk of psychosis, schizophrenia,
- 00:02:11.821 --> 00:02:15.124
- Anxiety and depression, cognitive impairment,
- 00:02:15.124 --> 00:02:18.528
- Thc effects, memory, attention and learning.
- 00:02:18.528 --> 00:02:21.297
- Chronic use may lead to persistent cognitive deficits.
- 00:02:21.297 --> 00:02:25.568
- Also respiratory harm.
- 00:02:25.568 --> 00:02:27.337
- Smoking cannabis can cause chronic bronchitis,
- 00:02:27.337 --> 00:02:30.406
- Lung irritation with unknown long term cancer risks.
- 00:02:30.406 --> 00:02:34.077
- We're still learning.
- 00:02:34.077 --> 00:02:35.178
- And by the way,
- 00:02:35.178 --> 00:02:36.145
- For those of you
- 00:02:36.145 --> 00:02:36.946
- In the audience who might be over
- 00:02:36.946 --> 00:02:37.914
- The age of 50,
- 00:02:37.914 --> 00:02:39.115
- What these kids are smoking and consuming when it comes to
- 00:02:39.115 --> 00:02:41.951
- Marijuana is significantly different than what
- 00:02:41.951 --> 00:02:45.288
- You smoked at woodstock or in the 1970s, early 1980s.
- 00:02:45.288 --> 00:02:49.125
- It is more powerful.
- 00:02:49.125 --> 00:02:50.560
- It is laced with stuff that you did not have previously.
- 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.429
- It is a different argument, so dismiss any memory
- 00:02:53.429 --> 00:02:56.366
- You might have of a generation prior.
- 00:02:56.366 --> 00:03:01.537
- The a study last year out
- 00:03:02.105 --> 00:03:03.773
- Of canada offered the strongest evidence yet
- 00:03:03.773 --> 00:03:07.343
- In children associated with psychiatric
- 00:03:07.343 --> 00:03:09.545
- Or psychotic disorders.
- 00:03:09.545 --> 00:03:10.580
- When a person loses contact with reality,
- 00:03:10.580 --> 00:03:13.249
- Consuming marijuana while pregnant increases
- 00:03:13.249 --> 00:03:15.318
- The odds of preterm birth, low birth rate, and infant death.
- 00:03:15.318 --> 00:03:18.554
- A study this year out of san francisco shows that marijuana
- 00:03:18.554 --> 00:03:21.424
- Is really bad for your heart, and we can't miss the iq one.
- 00:03:21.424 --> 00:03:25.061
- A 2021 analysis that looked at several thousand studies
- 00:03:25.061 --> 00:03:29.565
- Found overwhelming evidence that marijuana use lowers
- 00:03:29.565 --> 00:03:33.636
- Iq, especially when it's used by children under 18.
- 00:03:33.636 --> 00:03:37.440
- The average iq loss was about two points.
- 00:03:37.440 --> 00:03:39.976
- That's a lot to lose from something as common as weed
- 00:03:39.976 --> 00:03:43.446
- Now. but you might say, charley, i know weed
- 00:03:44.347 --> 00:03:47.684
- Is not good, but i don't care if somebody else does it.
- 00:03:47.684 --> 00:03:51.321
- It does not impact me and i want to challenge
- 00:03:51.321 --> 00:03:55.058
- That head on.
- 00:03:55.058 --> 00:03:56.426
- First of all, it does impact you.
- 00:03:56.426 --> 00:03:59.329
- Do you think portland, seattle, san francisco and denver,
- 00:03:59.329 --> 00:04:03.299
- Vegas, los angeles and parts of phoenix
- 00:04:03.299 --> 00:04:06.469
- Either even have gotten better, healthier, stronger,
- 00:04:06.469 --> 00:04:09.839
- More pleasant since the legalization of marijuana?
- 00:04:09.839 --> 00:04:14.444
- Do you think new york is a better place to walk around?
- 00:04:14.444 --> 00:04:17.046
- Do you think it invites the right types of people?
- 00:04:17.046 --> 00:04:19.549
- Do you think it lifts us up higher towards national unity
- 00:04:19.549 --> 00:04:22.618
- Strength, towards a goal of either
- 00:04:22.618 --> 00:04:26.155
- Defeating the chinese or being virtuous,
- 00:04:26.155 --> 00:04:29.258
- Going on a journey, triumphing over evil?
- 00:04:29.258 --> 00:04:32.028
- Do you think marijuana invites that kind of culture?
- 00:04:32.028 --> 00:04:36.499
- Open air drug
- 00:04:36.866 --> 00:04:38.234
- Use is widely rejected
- 00:04:38.234 --> 00:04:40.937
- By any decent society,
- 00:04:40.937 --> 00:04:43.706
- And the consumption of marijuana,
- 00:04:43.706 --> 00:04:45.975
- As we have seen out in the open in so many of these cities,
- 00:04:45.975 --> 00:04:50.513
- Doesn't just create a messier,
- 00:04:51.114 --> 00:04:52.615
- It creates a less enjoyable place to live.
- 00:04:52.615 --> 00:04:56.252
- Now there's a video which i think is very important
- 00:04:56.252 --> 00:04:59.389
- Of a dc resident walking through the new trump version
- 00:04:59.389 --> 00:05:02.225
- Of dc and commenting on how much better it is.
- 00:05:02.225 --> 00:05:05.495
- Let's play cut 406.
- 00:05:05.495 --> 00:05:07.630
- Mired down, the
- 00:05:07.997 --> 00:05:08.798
- City is quiet as a church motion.
- 00:05:08.798 --> 00:05:11.567
- I came all the way down pennsylvania
- 00:05:11.567 --> 00:05:13.302
- Avenue this morning.
- 00:05:13.302 --> 00:05:14.904
- So peaceful here i don't smell. no.
- 00:05:14.904 --> 00:05:17.507
- We go.
- 00:05:17.507 --> 00:05:19.142
- I don't see no homeless people.
- 00:05:19.142 --> 00:05:20.743
- I mean, i came all the way
- 00:05:20.743 --> 00:05:21.744
- Through the southeast, all the way down here.
- 00:05:21.744 --> 00:05:24.614
- You can see now, by the way, i was still way square.
- 00:05:24.614 --> 00:05:27.817
- Yeah.
- 00:05:27.817 --> 00:05:29.118
- It's a shame
- 00:05:29.118 --> 00:05:30.920
- That it takes somebody to have to sit
- 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.856
- In your class room in order for you to be in order.
- 00:05:33.856 --> 00:05:37.093
- Yeah,
- 00:05:37.093 --> 00:05:37.960
- Because that's what it feel like when
- 00:05:37.960 --> 00:05:40.229
- You gotta be a babysitter to do your job.
- 00:05:40.229 --> 00:05:42.465
- Yeah.
- 00:05:42.465 --> 00:05:43.299
- Stuff out of control for years. you.
- 00:05:43.299 --> 00:05:46.769
- Yeah, you got to do better. yeah.
- 00:05:46.769 --> 00:05:48.538
- And mainly young.
- 00:05:48.538 --> 00:05:49.405
- You got the problems. it's us, man.
- 00:05:49.405 --> 00:05:50.873
- It's always us giving everybody a bad name. yeah.
- 00:05:50.873 --> 00:05:53.910
- He mentions it before homeless people
- 00:05:54.744 --> 00:05:56.312
- And before feeling safer.
- 00:05:56.312 --> 00:05:57.780
- The first thing he doesn't smell weed.
- 00:05:57.780 --> 00:06:01.284
- So it's interesting.
- 00:06:01.751 --> 00:06:03.619
- Unlike drinking a beer.
- 00:06:03.619 --> 00:06:05.121
- And i will address alcohol
- 00:06:05.121 --> 00:06:06.589
- Because people try to make that comparison.
- 00:06:06.589 --> 00:06:09.425
- If somebody drinks a beer,
- 00:06:09.425 --> 00:06:10.726
- Unless they get in a vehicle or
- 00:06:10.726 --> 00:06:11.928
- Become violent or belligerent,
- 00:06:11.928 --> 00:06:14.297
- I don't have to smell that unless i get in close contact.
- 00:06:14.297 --> 00:06:17.467
- But when somebody smokes weed out in the open,
- 00:06:17.467 --> 00:06:20.136
- I do have to smell it.
- 00:06:20.136 --> 00:06:21.437
- I then have a less pleasant experience
- 00:06:21.437 --> 00:06:24.507
- In that moment or throughout the day.
- 00:06:24.507 --> 00:06:26.342
- Because of your licentiousness.
- 00:06:26.342 --> 00:06:30.179
- And weed is undoubtedly.
- 00:06:30.713 --> 00:06:33.616
- And the widespread usage of weed, especially in public,
- 00:06:33.616 --> 00:06:37.053
- Is a leading indicator of criminality
- 00:06:37.053 --> 00:06:39.889
- And degeneracy.
- 00:06:39.889 --> 00:06:42.425
- And again, a note to the medical staff
- 00:06:42.425 --> 00:06:44.393
- It's by far its worst effects are on young people.
- 00:06:44.393 --> 00:06:47.497
- And i'm going to get deep
- 00:06:47.497 --> 00:06:48.431
- Into the young person thing in a second,
- 00:06:48.431 --> 00:06:50.233
- Because legalization comes with a tacit endorsement
- 00:06:50.233 --> 00:06:54.704
- From the government that this is okay,
- 00:06:54.704 --> 00:06:57.673
- And i'm going to go through some of these numbers here
- 00:06:57.673 --> 00:06:59.842
- And show that where it is legalized,
- 00:06:59.842 --> 00:07:01.711
- Youth rates go up because they think it's okay.
- 00:07:01.711 --> 00:07:04.046
- Surveys show this independent review.
- 00:07:04.046 --> 00:07:06.382
- Studies show this.
- 00:07:06.382 --> 00:07:08.417
- There are so many arguments here.
- 00:07:09.185 --> 00:07:11.621
- And i'm going to talk i want to go through the
- 00:07:11.621 --> 00:07:12.955
- Breaks, guys.
- 00:07:12.955 --> 00:07:14.156
- I want to just blow the brakes because it's very important.
- 00:07:14.156 --> 00:07:15.291
- I don't think we'll have time to build up
- 00:07:15.291 --> 00:07:16.392
- This argument properly with the usually
- 00:07:16.392 --> 00:07:19.262
- Allotted time.
- 00:07:19.262 --> 00:07:22.732
- I want you to answer this question
- 00:07:22.732 --> 00:07:24.300
- If you are pro legalization or reclassification.
- 00:07:24.300 --> 00:07:27.904
- If more people did, marijuana would america be better?
- 00:07:27.904 --> 00:07:31.541
- That's the most important question.
- 00:07:32.275 --> 00:07:33.976
- If more people smoked, consumed.
- 00:07:33.976 --> 00:07:38.548
- Marijuana, would america be a better country?
- 00:07:39.482 --> 00:07:42.451
- Yes or no?
- 00:07:42.752 --> 00:07:44.153
- It's a very important question.
- 00:07:44.153 --> 00:07:45.821
- And if your answer is no,
- 00:07:45.821 --> 00:07:47.523
- Then we should do things that will lessen
- 00:07:47.523 --> 00:07:51.193
- And that will decrease usage, not endorse it,
- 00:07:51.193 --> 00:07:55.197
- And try to increase usage.
- 00:07:55.197 --> 00:07:59.936
- It's right over israel's border.
- 00:08:00.636 --> 00:08:02.838
- There are thousands of christians and druze
- 00:08:02.838 --> 00:08:05.241
- Who are being targeted and killed.
- 00:08:05.241 --> 00:08:07.143
- I'm going to close the door. your
- 00:08:07.143 --> 00:08:09.879
- Vision.
- 00:08:10.112 --> 00:08:11.247
- But for us, the fellowship cannot stand by and watch.
- 00:08:11.247 --> 00:08:15.051
- We are sending aid in.
- 00:08:15.518 --> 00:08:17.887
- Most of the world is oblivious to what's happened
- 00:08:17.887 --> 00:08:20.723
- To thousands of people who have lost their lives.
- 00:08:20.723 --> 00:08:24.360
- No food, no medicine.
- 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.664
- We're standing in the middle of america
- 00:08:29.465 --> 00:08:32.335
- Who will be in the hands of jews and christians alike.
- 00:08:32.335 --> 00:08:37.039
- I'm proud of the international fellowship of christians
- 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:40.042
- And jews to reach inside these most hostile territories
- 00:08:40.042 --> 00:08:43.679
- And save human lives, wherever it's needed.
- 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:47.850
- We will continue to save lives of our brothers and sisters.
- 00:08:47.850 --> 00:08:51.487
- We will continue to give hope.
- 00:08:51.487 --> 00:08:54.724

- 00:08:54.724 --> 00:09:00.008
- To learn more, please go to ifc.org.
- 00:09:00.008 --> 00:09:06.237
- I'm going to get a
- 00:09:06.671 --> 00:09:07.772
- Ton of angry messages, especially from younger people.
- 00:09:07.772 --> 00:09:11.175
- But that's what makes our program different.
- 00:09:11.175 --> 00:09:13.144
- We stand on truth.
- 00:09:13.144 --> 00:09:14.512
- We have strong opinions.
- 00:09:14.512 --> 00:09:15.913
- We will support them with data, as i have,
- 00:09:15.913 --> 00:09:18.249
- Regardless of the backlash that we get.
- 00:09:18.249 --> 00:09:20.351
- So if you're supportive, email me.
- 00:09:20.351 --> 00:09:21.753
- Freedom at charlie kirk.com.
- 00:09:21.753 --> 00:09:23.087
- If you're not supportive, you can email me
- 00:09:23.087 --> 00:09:24.555
- Freedom at charlie kirk.com.
- 00:09:24.555 --> 00:09:25.923
- And again the operative question
- 00:09:25.923 --> 00:09:27.825
- The most important question will more people using weed
- 00:09:27.825 --> 00:09:32.597
- Make america a stronger, better, happier, more
- 00:09:32.597 --> 00:09:35.199
- Joyful country 50 years from now or less so
- 00:09:35.199 --> 00:09:38.603
- Some people say it will make it that way.
- 00:09:38.603 --> 00:09:40.838
- I completely disagree, i think the data is
- 00:09:40.838 --> 00:09:42.940
- Totally different, but now let's play
- 00:09:42.940 --> 00:09:44.742
- A little offense against the marijuana industry.
- 00:09:44.742 --> 00:09:48.212
- The marijuana industry needs to be held accountable
- 00:09:48.212 --> 00:09:50.948
- Because they tell us things that end up not being true,
- 00:09:50.948 --> 00:09:54.485
- And they do so without any accountability whatsoever.
- 00:09:54.485 --> 00:09:57.889
- The marijuana industry made four major arguments.
- 00:09:57.889 --> 00:10:01.359
- They made four major arguments, and they're very compelling.
- 00:10:01.359 --> 00:10:05.129
- The first of which was this, that if you legalize marijuana,
- 00:10:05.129 --> 00:10:09.967
- That there will be a decrease in crime, especially
- 00:10:09.967 --> 00:10:13.237
- Homelessness degeneracy, because when you legalize it,
- 00:10:13.237 --> 00:10:16.374
- You can make it proper and that you can make it,
- 00:10:16.374 --> 00:10:19.510
- You can make it more, acceptable.
- 00:10:19.510 --> 00:10:23.514
- The opposite is actually happened
- 00:10:23.514 --> 00:10:25.316
- When we have legalized marijuana.
- 00:10:25.316 --> 00:10:27.185
- We have not seen decreases in crime.
- 00:10:27.185 --> 00:10:29.587
- We've seen more homelessness, more degeneracy, more heavy
- 00:10:29.587 --> 00:10:33.124
- Drug use, which i'll get to in a second.
- 00:10:33.124 --> 00:10:34.926
- Is denver safer because they legalize marijuana?
- 00:10:34.926 --> 00:10:37.628
- Is seattle safer? is portland safer?
- 00:10:37.628 --> 00:10:39.831
- Is san francisco safer?
- 00:10:39.831 --> 00:10:41.332
- Is los los angeles safer?
- 00:10:41.332 --> 00:10:42.967
- Of course not.
- 00:10:42.967 --> 00:10:44.168
- So that contention needs to be put under heavy examination.
- 00:10:44.168 --> 00:10:47.939
- Now they might say, well, there's not a
- 00:10:47.939 --> 00:10:49.407
- 1 to 1 correlation.
- 00:10:49.407 --> 00:10:51.209
- I think we need to look
- 00:10:51.209 --> 00:10:52.143
- At cities even more so than states.
- 00:10:52.143 --> 00:10:55.046
- And denver really was the petri dish.
- 00:10:55.046 --> 00:10:57.081
- Seattle was really the petri dish,
- 00:10:57.081 --> 00:10:59.183
- The second of which is
- 00:10:59.183 --> 00:11:00.251
- Probably the most important of all this.
- 00:11:00.251 --> 00:11:01.586
- And i want to spend the most amount of time on this one.
- 00:11:01.586 --> 00:11:03.755
- We were told growing up that if you legalize marijuana,
- 00:11:03.755 --> 00:11:07.592
- The amount of kids that use marijuana will go down.
- 00:11:07.592 --> 00:11:11.095
- I think we can all agree here in the audience,
- 00:11:11.095 --> 00:11:13.097
- Even if you are pro legalization
- 00:11:13.097 --> 00:11:15.099
- And pro classification, we do not want minors
- 00:11:15.099 --> 00:11:18.136
- To be able to smoke weed, to be able to do edibles.
- 00:11:18.136 --> 00:11:22.140
- That is bad.
- 00:11:22.140 --> 00:11:23.908
- This was just an
- 00:11:24.308 --> 00:11:25.409
- Insultingly dumb lie and so many people bought it.
- 00:11:25.409 --> 00:11:29.113
- And honestly, i almost bought it for a while.
- 00:11:29.113 --> 00:11:31.649
- Oh yeah.
- 00:11:31.649 --> 00:11:32.583
- You know, if you kind of make it legal,
- 00:11:32.583 --> 00:11:34.519
- Then they'll have to show their id to go to a place.
- 00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:37.355
- And but when things are legal, they do it more
- 00:11:37.355 --> 00:11:40.792
- When things are for sale
- 00:11:40.792 --> 00:11:42.126
- All over the place, people use it more.
- 00:11:42.126 --> 00:11:44.162
- And one of the best arguments.
- 00:11:44.162 --> 00:11:45.763
- And blake introduced this argument this morning
- 00:11:45.763 --> 00:11:47.832
- That i think is rock solid.
- 00:11:47.832 --> 00:11:50.701
- Marijuana was decently problematic
- 00:11:51.469 --> 00:11:54.372
- When it was grown underground, and you had to buy it secretly
- 00:11:54.372 --> 00:11:57.074
- From some dealer in a parking lot.
- 00:11:57.074 --> 00:11:59.410
- But with full legalization, things have become different.
- 00:11:59.410 --> 00:12:02.446
- Think about what our market for food and beverages is like.
- 00:12:02.446 --> 00:12:05.983
- Well, corporate america, they have the best experts,
- 00:12:05.983 --> 00:12:08.319
- The best scientists, and the best marketing forces.
- 00:12:08.319 --> 00:12:12.723
- They're very good at marketing products
- 00:12:12.723 --> 00:12:14.725
- And making them as appealing as possible.
- 00:12:14.725 --> 00:12:16.561
- It's not an art, it's a science.
- 00:12:16.561 --> 00:12:18.429
- And that science has made america really, really fat.
- 00:12:18.429 --> 00:12:21.632
- Now look and imagine unleashing all that corporate power
- 00:12:21.632 --> 00:12:25.269
- Where all they care about is making money
- 00:12:25.269 --> 00:12:27.038
- And promoting marijuana.
- 00:12:27.038 --> 00:12:28.539
- Imagine the experts at coca-cola, nabisco, mcdonald's
- 00:12:28.539 --> 00:12:32.243
- Having free reign to make the most potent
- 00:12:32.243 --> 00:12:34.478
- And addictive marijuana they possibly can imagine
- 00:12:34.478 --> 00:12:37.415
- Costco selling a family pack of weed for just $99.
- 00:12:37.415 --> 00:12:41.018
- It'd be disastrous.
- 00:12:41.018 --> 00:12:42.353
- So imagine the geniuses that are able to addict you
- 00:12:42.353 --> 00:12:45.923
- To order another big mac,
- 00:12:45.923 --> 00:12:47.291
- That are able to addict you to keep on drinking diet coke,
- 00:12:47.291 --> 00:12:49.961
- That are able to addict you to order another supersize
- 00:12:49.961 --> 00:12:53.130
- Me meal at mcdonald's to now all of a sudden have those
- 00:12:53.130 --> 00:12:56.601
- Geniuses, those marketing professionals
- 00:12:56.601 --> 00:12:59.470
- Have the full machinery behind the marijuana industry. boy.
- 00:12:59.470 --> 00:13:05.209
- And youth usage has not gone down.
- 00:13:05.977 --> 00:13:08.179
- Youth usage has gone up.
- 00:13:08.179 --> 00:13:09.347
- We have more young people that are doing marijuana,
- 00:13:09.347 --> 00:13:12.083
- That are smoking marijuana, that are smoking weed.
- 00:13:12.083 --> 00:13:14.518
- When it was ten years ago.
- 00:13:14.518 --> 00:13:17.889
- The third contention, which is also just a lie,
- 00:13:17.889 --> 00:13:20.725
- We were told that, hey, and this was the one that
- 00:13:20.725 --> 00:13:23.194
- That really the marijuana industry needs to be
- 00:13:23.194 --> 00:13:26.430
- Held accountable for.
- 00:13:26.430 --> 00:13:27.698
- We were told that if you legalize weed,
- 00:13:27.698 --> 00:13:30.902
- If you legalize cannabis, the cartels will be weakened.
- 00:13:30.902 --> 00:13:35.273
- Do you remember this?
- 00:13:35.273 --> 00:13:36.374
- We were told that, hey, if you legalize marijuana,
- 00:13:36.374 --> 00:13:38.910
- The cartels are going to have nothing to do.
- 00:13:38.910 --> 00:13:41.245
- The cartels are going to disintegrate.
- 00:13:41.245 --> 00:13:42.880
- It will make them go out of business.
- 00:13:42.880 --> 00:13:44.582
- No different than the bootleggers
- 00:13:44.582 --> 00:13:46.684
- That went after business went out of business.
- 00:13:46.684 --> 00:13:48.452
- When we got rid of prohibition.
- 00:13:48.452 --> 00:13:50.388
- Another insulting lie.
- 00:13:50.388 --> 00:13:52.323
- The cartels are stronger than ever
- 00:13:53.057 --> 00:13:54.892
- Because now they have graduated towards the drugs
- 00:13:54.892 --> 00:13:57.662
- That marijuana is a gateway drug towards.
- 00:13:57.662 --> 00:13:59.897
- And let me say this marijuana is absolutely a gateway drug,
- 00:13:59.897 --> 00:14:03.668
- Especially the type of marijuana
- 00:14:03.668 --> 00:14:05.803
- That is laced with thc, the edibles,
- 00:14:05.803 --> 00:14:08.739
- The type of psychedelic mergers that are done
- 00:14:08.739 --> 00:14:12.476
- Sometimes with cannabis.
- 00:14:12.476 --> 00:14:14.412
- And this is the most critical thing they said that.
- 00:14:14.412 --> 00:14:17.581
- Well, if you legalize marijuana,
- 00:14:17.581 --> 00:14:20.952
- That people are going to not revere it as much, because
- 00:14:20.952 --> 00:14:24.522
- When something's illegal, there is an allure to it.
- 00:14:24.522 --> 00:14:27.391
- But when you legalize
- 00:14:27.391 --> 00:14:28.359
- It, people kind of shrug their shoulders
- 00:14:28.359 --> 00:14:30.461
- And they're not going to be drawn to it.
- 00:14:30.461 --> 00:14:32.463
- My goodness, that was a catastrophic lie.
- 00:14:32.463 --> 00:14:37.401
- Over the years, i've been clear about this.
- 00:14:38.302 --> 00:14:40.137
- I'm not just pro birth.
- 00:14:40.137 --> 00:14:41.205
- I'm pro-life.
- 00:14:41.205 --> 00:14:42.239
- And being pro-life means standing with mothers
- 00:14:42.239 --> 00:14:44.141
- Not only before the baby is born, but long after.
- 00:14:44.141 --> 00:14:46.978
- That's exactly why i partner with preborn.
- 00:14:46.978 --> 00:14:49.447
- Preborn doesn't just save babies,
- 00:14:49.447 --> 00:14:51.082
- They make motherhood abundantly possible.
- 00:14:51.082 --> 00:14:52.984
- They provide free ultrasounds and share
- 00:14:52.984 --> 00:14:54.785
- The truth, the gospel, with women in crisis.
- 00:14:54.785 --> 00:14:57.355
- And then they stay with real practical help,
- 00:14:57.355 --> 00:14:59.991
- Including financial support for up to two years after
- 00:14:59.991 --> 00:15:02.526
- The baby is born.
- 00:15:02.526 --> 00:15:03.694
- This is what true, christ centered compassion looks like,
- 00:15:03.694 --> 00:15:06.731
- Not just for the baby, but for the mother too.
- 00:15:06.731 --> 00:15:08.966
- And here's where you can make a difference.
- 00:15:08.966 --> 00:15:10.901
- Just $28 provides a free, life saving ultrasound.
- 00:15:10.901 --> 00:15:14.138
- One chance for a mother to see her baby
- 00:15:14.138 --> 00:15:15.873
- When when she does, she's twice as likely to choose life.
- 00:15:15.873 --> 00:15:18.609
- So don't just say you're pro-life.
- 00:15:18.609 --> 00:15:20.211
- Live it. help save babies and support mothers today.
- 00:15:20.211 --> 00:15:22.847
- Go to preborn.com/charlie or call (855)â–ˆ601-2229.

- 00:15:38.002 --> 00:15:42.666
- Joining me now is a great friend, pastor jack hibbs.
- 00:15:43.734 --> 00:15:46.670
- Pastor hibbs, we're here to talk about
- 00:15:46.670 --> 00:15:48.606
- A very specific, call to action in california.
- 00:15:48.606 --> 00:15:52.076
- But first, i just want to ask you,
- 00:15:52.076 --> 00:15:53.244
- Pastor hibbs, i just spent the last,
- 00:15:53.244 --> 00:15:56.547
- 20, 25 minutes talking about marijuana.
- 00:15:56.547 --> 00:15:59.016
- Has marijuana made california better since the
- 00:15:59.016 --> 00:16:02.219
- The legalization and mass usage?
- 00:16:02.219 --> 00:16:04.922
- Can you comment on that?
- 00:16:04.922 --> 00:16:05.823
- As a pastor who cares about your community
- 00:16:05.823 --> 00:16:07.925
- That is shepherding young people,
- 00:16:07.925 --> 00:16:10.628
- Has it improved the quality of life in california
- 00:16:10.628 --> 00:16:13.097
- The more marijuana people have consumed?
- 00:16:13.097 --> 00:16:16.100
- Yeah, charlie, you're asking that question
- 00:16:16.100 --> 00:16:17.568
- Because you know the answer.
- 00:16:17.568 --> 00:16:18.669
- The answer is absolutely the opposite.
- 00:16:18.669 --> 00:16:20.805
- As you well know, you've been to our church many times.
- 00:16:20.805 --> 00:16:22.907
- It is a
- 00:16:22.907 --> 00:16:24.175
- Is a church heavily populated by law enforcement personnel.
- 00:16:24.175 --> 00:16:26.844
- They'll tell you straight up that the marijuana use
- 00:16:26.844 --> 00:16:28.946
- And the freedom of marijuana in california has only led
- 00:16:28.946 --> 00:16:32.083
- To the continued decline of california.
- 00:16:32.083 --> 00:16:35.119
- Listen, i just got in from peru
- 00:16:35.119 --> 00:16:36.787
- The other day, stepped out of bradley terminal.
- 00:16:36.787 --> 00:16:39.790
- I'm not kidding, charlie.
- 00:16:39.790 --> 00:16:41.025
- The first stench i smelled was an area off to the right hand
- 00:16:41.025 --> 00:16:44.929
- Side of the terminal, where it's a open smoking area
- 00:16:44.929 --> 00:16:48.032
- And people were smoking pot at bradley terminal.
- 00:16:48.032 --> 00:16:51.168
- That's your welcome back to the united states.
- 00:16:51.168 --> 00:16:53.871
- It is a glazed doped society, and you can smell it
- 00:16:53.871 --> 00:16:58.142
- On the freeways.
- 00:16:58.142 --> 00:16:59.243
- You can smell it in all kinds of ways and places.
- 00:16:59.243 --> 00:17:01.779
- But the crime level is connected.
- 00:17:01.779 --> 00:17:04.281
- People will deny that.
- 00:17:04.281 --> 00:17:05.382
- But law enforcement will tell you no, it's directly
- 00:17:05.382 --> 00:17:08.018
- Connected, because wherever it's being used, charlie,
- 00:17:08.018 --> 00:17:10.855
- There is this, there's this decay of, of zeal.
- 00:17:10.855 --> 00:17:15.626
- There is this apathetic atmosphere that,
- 00:17:15.626 --> 00:17:18.395
- Those who use traffic in.
- 00:17:18.395 --> 00:17:21.232
- And, that's the last thing we need in this nation.
- 00:17:21.232 --> 00:17:23.634
- We need people sharper.
- 00:17:23.634 --> 00:17:24.835
- We need people more creative,
- 00:17:24.835 --> 00:17:26.537
- And we need people who actually can reason
- 00:17:26.537 --> 00:17:29.039
- And logic, just to stay alive and on our california
- 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:32.343
- Freeway, for one thing, talk about ab 495.
- 00:17:32.343 --> 00:17:35.880
- A bill that you are warning could legalize
- 00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:38.549
- Child trafficking.
- 00:17:38.549 --> 00:17:39.717
- I mean, that is those are those are fighting words.
- 00:17:39.717 --> 00:17:41.752
- Pastor hibbs yeah, i trust your contention.
- 00:17:41.752 --> 00:17:45.389
- Educate us.
- 00:17:45.723 --> 00:17:46.457
- We have a lot of time here.
- 00:17:46.457 --> 00:17:47.625
- So please, what is this all about,
- 00:17:47.625 --> 00:17:49.994
- Charlie?
- 00:17:50.261 --> 00:17:50.895
- I have it in front of me.
- 00:17:50.895 --> 00:17:51.896
- And, the the preamble to this is,
- 00:17:51.896 --> 00:17:55.266
- I never thought in my lifetime that i would stand
- 00:17:55.266 --> 00:17:57.968
- Before our congregation of over 10,000 adults and say,
- 00:17:57.968 --> 00:18:02.473
- If this bill passes, you need to get your kid out
- 00:18:02.473 --> 00:18:05.576
- Of public school and into private school
- 00:18:05.576 --> 00:18:07.978
- Or homeschool or you need to leave the state of california.
- 00:18:07.978 --> 00:18:11.749
- That was not hyperbole.
- 00:18:11.749 --> 00:18:13.017
- That was not that was not any form of a joke.
- 00:18:13.017 --> 00:18:16.487
- Dead serious. ab 495.
- 00:18:16.487 --> 00:18:19.390
- It's it's,
- 00:18:19.390 --> 00:18:20.491
- Charlie, and it's actually an anti-trump anti-isis,
- 00:18:20.491 --> 00:18:23.794
- Bit of legislation written
- 00:18:23.794 --> 00:18:25.629
- By assembly member celeste rodriguez and it is it
- 00:18:25.629 --> 00:18:29.667
- Is this that if the bill passes,
- 00:18:29.667 --> 00:18:33.537
- That is, if gavin newsom signs it into law next week,
- 00:18:33.537 --> 00:18:36.941
- That you can go to the state
- 00:18:36.941 --> 00:18:39.777
- Website in your home, you can download an affidavit,
- 00:18:39.777 --> 00:18:43.981
- You can check the box that says,
- 00:18:43.981 --> 00:18:46.083
- Did you attempt to reach out to the parents
- 00:18:46.083 --> 00:18:49.420
- Regarding the, possession of the child?
- 00:18:49.420 --> 00:18:52.623
- Check the box. yes or no?
- 00:18:52.623 --> 00:18:54.592
- If if the person who downloaded this affidavit
- 00:18:54.592 --> 00:18:57.528
- Checks the box. yes.
- 00:18:57.528 --> 00:18:59.230
- They sign their name.
- 00:18:59.230 --> 00:19:01.198
- They go down to the local school where this child
- 00:19:01.198 --> 00:19:04.168
- Is. your child, my child, my grandkids,
- 00:19:04.168 --> 00:19:07.271
- And they can bring the child.
- 00:19:07.271 --> 00:19:09.873
- The school board has to relinquish the child's
- 00:19:09.873 --> 00:19:13.244
- Possession into the hands of the requester
- 00:19:13.244 --> 00:19:16.614
- Because here's the bill,
- 00:19:17.147 --> 00:19:18.949
- Because it is a bill of compassion.
- 00:19:18.949 --> 00:19:21.252
- It is to shield children against ice
- 00:19:21.252 --> 00:19:25.089
- Taking their parents during the school day,
- 00:19:25.089 --> 00:19:27.825
- Without the child now having a place to go home,
- 00:19:27.825 --> 00:19:31.262
- To an occupied home with mom and dad.
- 00:19:31.262 --> 00:19:34.498
- And so it's a it's a compassion bill.
- 00:19:34.498 --> 00:19:37.234
- Charlie.
- 00:19:37.234 --> 00:19:38.102
- There's no accountability whatsoever,
- 00:19:38.102 --> 00:19:39.803
- Because it is all geared to
- 00:19:39.803 --> 00:19:41.672
- Hide the child from investigation that could
- 00:19:41.672 --> 00:19:45.409
- Possibly lead the child to ice agents.
- 00:19:45.409 --> 00:19:48.345
- Or the like, because it's an assumption
- 00:19:49.179 --> 00:19:52.182
- That their parents are illegal.
- 00:19:52.182 --> 00:19:53.817
- Here's the thing, charlie.
- 00:19:53.817 --> 00:19:55.119
- We have had
- 00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:56.253
- I'm not going to mention their names, but, you know,
- 00:19:56.253 --> 00:19:58.255
- You and i share some of the great legal minds in america
- 00:19:58.255 --> 00:20:02.092
- That help us all out at all times.
- 00:20:02.092 --> 00:20:03.994
- They've they've studied the bill.
- 00:20:03.994 --> 00:20:05.462
- They told us, listen to this.
- 00:20:05.462 --> 00:20:06.964
- They said, jack, normally the devil is in the details.
- 00:20:06.964 --> 00:20:10.000
- This is the most
- 00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:11.502
- Sick legislation ever proposed in california.
- 00:20:11.502 --> 00:20:14.738
- That's saying a lot because there are no details.
- 00:20:14.738 --> 00:20:17.775
- It is so vague and so open
- 00:20:17.775 --> 00:20:20.244
- That it can be interpreted in any way.
- 00:20:20.244 --> 00:20:22.212
- And in fact, i had one great legal mind in america.
- 00:20:22.212 --> 00:20:25.516
- Tell me this week
- 00:20:25.516 --> 00:20:26.750
- It's so dangerous, charlie, that it may not only
- 00:20:26.750 --> 00:20:31.088
- Be assigned to public schools.
- 00:20:31.689 --> 00:20:33.457
- It could be it could be something,
- 00:20:33.457 --> 00:20:35.025
- A daycare center
- 00:20:35.025 --> 00:20:36.293
- Where somebody comes in non-relative non-related
- 00:20:36.293 --> 00:20:39.363
- Individual to snatch your child out of school,
- 00:20:39.363 --> 00:20:43.167
- And you won't find out about it till the end of the day.
- 00:20:43.167 --> 00:20:45.803
- That's what we're looking this is
- 00:20:45.803 --> 00:20:47.237
- This is an invitation to sexual predators.
- 00:20:47.237 --> 00:20:50.007
- 100%.
- 00:20:50.007 --> 00:20:51.108
- This is open season on these california children.
- 00:20:51.108 --> 00:20:55.546
- And so you are leading a protest in sacramento.
- 00:20:55.546 --> 00:20:57.614
- I want to dive deeper into it,
- 00:20:57.614 --> 00:20:58.682
- But i want to make sure we get the call to action.
- 00:20:58.682 --> 00:20:59.783
- We have five minutes here, jack.
- 00:20:59.783 --> 00:21:01.318
- Tell us time place when call to action.
- 00:21:01.318 --> 00:21:04.121
- I want our whole audience in california
- 00:21:04.121 --> 00:21:06.390
- To rally behind you, jack.
- 00:21:06.390 --> 00:21:07.691
- So tell us you are leading the charge.
- 00:21:07.691 --> 00:21:09.126
- So, jack, please tell us.
- 00:21:09.126 --> 00:21:11.428
- I'm calling for a minimum of 5000 people,
- 00:21:11.428 --> 00:21:13.931
- So don't assume somebody else is going to show up.
- 00:21:13.931 --> 00:21:15.699
- You show up, everybody. it's august 19th.
- 00:21:15.699 --> 00:21:18.102
- That's a tuesday next week at the state capitol.
- 00:21:18.102 --> 00:21:21.338
- And if you show up at
- 00:21:21.338 --> 00:21:22.306
- About 11:00, that would be really good.
- 00:21:22.306 --> 00:21:24.708
- We'll get things started.
- 00:21:24.708 --> 00:21:26.210
- And here's the reason why we want your body there.
- 00:21:26.210 --> 00:21:28.512
- We want you to just stand there with us.
- 00:21:28.512 --> 00:21:30.247
- Because the last time we did this, charlie, several years
- 00:21:30.247 --> 00:21:33.117
- Ago, a similar bill, not as bad, made it through.
- 00:21:33.117 --> 00:21:36.587
- And newsom,
- 00:21:36.587 --> 00:21:37.421
- So to speak, looked out of his window
- 00:21:37.421 --> 00:21:39.056
- And saw 3000 people standing there.
- 00:21:39.056 --> 00:21:41.892
- And he backed off.
- 00:21:41.892 --> 00:21:43.327
- He is a true politician.
- 00:21:43.327 --> 00:21:44.862
- He's got his eyes set on the presidency in 2028,
- 00:21:44.862 --> 00:21:48.332
- And if we show up in mass, he's
- 00:21:48.332 --> 00:21:50.667
- Not going to want to own this bill.
- 00:21:50.667 --> 00:21:51.969
- He will have the power to veto it and shut it down.
- 00:21:51.969 --> 00:21:55.072
- And so i am pleading with people,
- 00:21:55.072 --> 00:21:57.074
- Drive, fly, take a bus, take a train, get there.
- 00:21:57.074 --> 00:21:59.977
- By whatever means possible, we will stand respectful.
- 00:21:59.977 --> 00:22:03.347
- And we've got a series of great,
- 00:22:03.347 --> 00:22:05.315
- Great, attorneys and speakers that are going to address
- 00:22:05.315 --> 00:22:08.719
- The crowd, but join us in making, california history.
- 00:22:08.719 --> 00:22:12.489
- Let's stop evil.
- 00:22:12.489 --> 00:22:13.724
- This is doing righteousness.
- 00:22:13.724 --> 00:22:15.125
- Actually, when we preach the gospel, that's great.
- 00:22:15.125 --> 00:22:18.495
- But when listen, when we make disciples,
- 00:22:18.495 --> 00:22:20.631
- We are encouraging people to stand for righteousness.
- 00:22:20.631 --> 00:22:22.666
- So, charlie,
- 00:22:22.666 --> 00:22:23.767
- I want to thank you for giving us a voice right now
- 00:22:23.767 --> 00:22:26.236
- To invite people.
- 00:22:26.236 --> 00:22:27.304
- August 19th, come on out.
- 00:22:27.304 --> 00:22:29.139
- And 11 p.m.
- 00:22:29.139 --> 00:22:30.574
- At the steps of california capitol in sacramento.
- 00:22:30.574 --> 00:22:34.745
- Pastor jack hibbs,
- 00:22:34.745 --> 00:22:35.979
- We're out of time from calvary chapel chino hills.
- 00:22:35.979 --> 00:22:38.916
- You love me, charlie. you're the greatest.
- 00:22:38.916 --> 00:22:40.484
- Thank you, jack, so much. thank you brother.
- 00:22:40.484 --> 00:22:43.954
- As a christian, have you always considered
- 00:22:44.822 --> 00:22:46.590
- Yourself pro-israel but not sure where you stand today?
- 00:22:46.590 --> 00:22:49.460
- Let me help you make it simple.
- 00:22:49.460 --> 00:22:50.994
- Israel protects christian holy sites, defends religious
- 00:22:50.994 --> 00:22:53.864
- Freedom, and stands as the only democracy
- 00:22:53.864 --> 00:22:56.033
- In a region dominated by extremism.
- 00:22:56.033 --> 00:22:58.235
- Israel is both a strategic and moral ally
- 00:22:58.235 --> 00:23:01.104
- Who's facing the same enemies and threats that we do
- 00:23:01.104 --> 00:23:03.574
- Right here in america.
- 00:23:03.574 --> 00:23:04.875
- There are so many reasons for christians
- 00:23:04.875 --> 00:23:06.343
- To proudly and morally support israel.
- 00:23:06.343 --> 00:23:08.312
- Go now to ifk jorg and learn more about the good work,
- 00:23:08.312 --> 00:23:11.748
- The international fellowship of christians and jews is doing
- 00:23:11.748 --> 00:23:14.451
- In delivering real aid, providing real security
- 00:23:14.451 --> 00:23:17.020
- And standing with israel when it matters most.
- 00:23:17.020 --> 00:23:19.056
- Go to ifk jorg to learn more.
- 00:23:19.056 --> 00:23:21.425
- How you can stand with israel at this extremely critical time
- 00:23:21.425 --> 00:23:24.127
- In her history.
- 00:23:24.127 --> 00:23:24.127
