Charlie Kirk Today | Charlie Kirk: August 28, 2025 | Charlie Kirk Today | August 28, 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 --> 00:00:14.604
- We believe it is one suspect, a soul shooter.
- 00:00:15.538 --> 00:00:18.541
- We believe he is deceased.
- 00:00:18.541 --> 00:00:20.110
- He is in his early 20s.
- 00:00:20.110 --> 00:00:22.245
- Does not have an extensive,
- 00:00:22.245 --> 00:00:25.148
- Known criminal history.
- 00:00:25.148 --> 00:00:26.449
- And we are looking through, information left behind
- 00:00:26.449 --> 00:00:30.720
- To try and determine some type of motive.
- 00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:33.723
- The shooter was armed with a rifle, a shotgun
- 00:00:33.723 --> 00:00:36.793
- And a pistol.
- 00:00:37.160 --> 00:00:39.529
- This was a deliberate act of violence
- 00:00:39.529 --> 00:00:42.732
- Against innocent children
- 00:00:42.732 --> 00:00:45.168
- And other people worshiping
- 00:00:45.168 --> 00:00:48.271
- The sheer cruelty
- 00:00:48.271 --> 00:00:50.773
- And cowardice of firing into a church
- 00:00:50.773 --> 00:00:54.210
- Full of children is absolutely
- 00:00:54.210 --> 00:00:56.913
- Incomprehensible.
- 00:00:56.913 --> 00:01:00.083
- Police officers from the minneapolis
- 00:01:00.083 --> 00:01:01.417
- Police department immediately responded,
- 00:01:01.417 --> 00:01:04.487
- Entered the church,
- 00:01:04.954 --> 00:01:06.723
- And attempted to provide first aid
- 00:01:06.723 --> 00:01:09.392
- And rescue some of the children that were hiding
- 00:01:09.392 --> 00:01:11.494
- Throughout the building.
- 00:01:11.494 --> 00:01:13.263
- But other first responders came and ems
- 00:01:13.263 --> 00:01:16.833
- Responded to rush victims to nearby hospitals.
- 00:01:16.833 --> 00:01:20.904
- So we are monitoring this terrible situation
- 00:01:20.904 --> 00:01:24.407
- In minneapolis
- 00:01:24.407 --> 00:01:25.808
- And trying to monitor the live breaking developments.
- 00:01:25.808 --> 00:01:29.879
- Somebody emailed us freedom at charlie kirk.com.
- 00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:31.948
- See charlie, this is why i can't believe in god.
- 00:01:31.948 --> 00:01:34.951
- How could you believe in god after this?
- 00:01:35.785 --> 00:01:37.587
- It's a very important question.
- 00:01:37.587 --> 00:01:38.821
- I don't want to be immediately dismissive.
- 00:01:38.821 --> 00:01:41.991
- So let's first go to what we as christians or jews.
- 00:01:41.991 --> 00:01:45.962
- But what ethical monotheists we have the problem of evil
- 00:01:45.962 --> 00:01:50.633
- Atheists have evil.
- 00:01:51.100 --> 00:01:53.703
- No problem.
- 00:01:53.703 --> 00:01:55.838
- You see, on the atheist side
- 00:01:55.838 --> 00:01:59.075
- They can't say that evil actually exists
- 00:01:59.943 --> 00:02:02.812
- Because without god, if god does not exist,
- 00:02:02.812 --> 00:02:05.882
- Then we are nothing more than just a clump of cells
- 00:02:05.882 --> 00:02:09.052
- And there is no such thing as evil.
- 00:02:09.052 --> 00:02:11.788
- You only know something is evil.
- 00:02:11.788 --> 00:02:14.691
- If you have good to compare it to, you only know
- 00:02:14.691 --> 00:02:18.528
- Something is right
- 00:02:18.528 --> 00:02:21.464
- Because you have a standard of right.
- 00:02:21.464 --> 00:02:24.133
- For example, if i have a piece of paper.
- 00:02:24.133 --> 00:02:28.071
- And i draw a crooked line.
- 00:02:28.638 --> 00:02:30.607
- So let's just see here, i wish, i just,
- 00:02:31.407 --> 00:02:33.176
- I wish i had a sharpie here, maybe i do.
- 00:02:33.176 --> 00:02:34.744
- Yeah.
- 00:02:34.744 --> 00:02:35.878
- And i have a crooked line.
- 00:02:35.878 --> 00:02:38.715
- Okay, here's my crooked line.
- 00:02:38.715 --> 00:02:40.283
- How great is that? put it in the loaf.
- 00:02:40.283 --> 00:02:42.085
- How do you know this line is crooked?
- 00:02:42.085 --> 00:02:45.255
- How do you know it?
- 00:02:45.255 --> 00:02:45.822
- Just a line, right?
- 00:02:45.822 --> 00:02:47.690
- But you immediately look at it.
- 00:02:47.690 --> 00:02:48.691
- You say that's a crooked squiggly line.
- 00:02:48.691 --> 00:02:50.593
- Only because.
- 00:02:50.593 --> 00:02:52.228
- Only because in your mind, you know
- 00:02:52.228 --> 00:02:56.165
- What a straight line is.
- 00:02:56.699 --> 00:02:59.702
- So. because
- 00:02:59.702 --> 00:03:01.704
- There you see a crooked line, you're immediately
- 00:03:01.704 --> 00:03:03.773
- Comparing it to the contrast of a perfect straight line.
- 00:03:03.773 --> 00:03:07.310
- The same happens in morality and ethics.
- 00:03:07.310 --> 00:03:10.179
- We only know that something is evil and wrong,
- 00:03:10.179 --> 00:03:13.449
- Because we have a transcendent standard to compare it to.
- 00:03:13.449 --> 00:03:17.954
- If you do not believe in god, it is not right and wrong.
- 00:03:17.954 --> 00:03:21.124
- It's nothing more than preferences.
- 00:03:21.124 --> 00:03:24.360
- Now, in my theology, i believe that you're able to choose.
- 00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:28.264
- Other christians do not have the belief
- 00:03:28.264 --> 00:03:30.600
- As much in free will. they sort of do.
- 00:03:30.600 --> 00:03:32.235
- It's hotly debated.
- 00:03:32.235 --> 00:03:33.536
- I do believe that we have agency.
- 00:03:33.536 --> 00:03:35.872
- We have the ability to choose. we have free will,
- 00:03:35.872 --> 00:03:38.775
- And that
- 00:03:39.042 --> 00:03:40.009
- Individual woke up with the free will
- 00:03:40.009 --> 00:03:43.346
- And use that free will to murder
- 00:03:43.346 --> 00:03:47.250
- Two kids.
- 00:03:47.550 --> 00:03:51.354
- That's evil.
- 00:03:51.688 --> 00:03:52.755
- And we know it's evil because we're applying to
- 00:03:52.755 --> 00:03:55.091
- We are appealing towards a transcendent
- 00:03:55.091 --> 00:03:57.794
- Truth standard.
- 00:03:57.794 --> 00:04:01.097
- And this is a principle also shared by jews
- 00:04:01.097 --> 00:04:03.966
- And christians alike.
- 00:04:03.966 --> 00:04:07.670
- But also understand this, and i got this from dennis prager.
- 00:04:07.670 --> 00:04:10.506
- We as christians or jews,
- 00:04:10.506 --> 00:04:13.443
- We have to explain the problem of evil.
- 00:04:14.277 --> 00:04:17.814
- We also have to explain natural disasters.
- 00:04:17.814 --> 00:04:19.849
- That's a toughie.
- 00:04:19.849 --> 00:04:21.551
- Atheists, they have to do.
- 00:04:21.551 --> 00:04:22.852
- They have to explain everything else.
- 00:04:22.852 --> 00:04:25.388
- If you are out there and you look at this
- 00:04:25.388 --> 00:04:27.323
- And you are angry and you are mad
- 00:04:27.323 --> 00:04:29.492
- And you are upset at this horrific act of evil,
- 00:04:29.492 --> 00:04:32.729
- I would just say, how do you know it's evil?
- 00:04:32.729 --> 00:04:35.164
- By what standard do you know?
- 00:04:35.164 --> 00:04:37.333
- Is it evil?
- 00:04:37.333 --> 00:04:38.201
- And you know it because you're appealing to christian ethics
- 00:04:39.369 --> 00:04:42.105
- Or or jewish ethics or judeo christian ethics
- 00:04:42.105 --> 00:04:45.174
- In that regard.
- 00:04:45.541 --> 00:04:47.810
- Secondly,
- 00:04:47.810 --> 00:04:49.746
- The atheist has to explain everything else around us.
- 00:04:49.746 --> 00:04:52.648
- They have to explain life.
- 00:04:53.216 --> 00:04:55.585
- They have to explain the longest
- 00:04:55.585 --> 00:04:58.020
- Sentence ever recorded, which is dna.
- 00:04:58.020 --> 00:05:01.424
- They have to explain the fine tuning of the universe.
- 00:05:01.424 --> 00:05:04.193
- They have to explain why the earth exists.
- 00:05:04.193 --> 00:05:06.129
- They have to explain physics.
- 00:05:06.129 --> 00:05:07.363
- They have to explain the laws of reason.
- 00:05:07.363 --> 00:05:10.400
- They have to explain the law of thermodynamics.
- 00:05:10.400 --> 00:05:13.403
- They have to explain it all, and they have to say all.
- 00:05:13.403 --> 00:05:15.171
- It's all just an act of randomness.
- 00:05:15.171 --> 00:05:17.306
- But it's all just an act of randomness.
- 00:05:17.306 --> 00:05:19.075
- Then morality is just random.
- 00:05:19.075 --> 00:05:23.679
- And isn't an interesting
- 00:05:24.213 --> 00:05:26.783
- That this shooter.
- 00:05:26.783 --> 00:05:27.683
- We know
- 00:05:27.683 --> 00:05:28.851
- Nothing about the shooter except early 20s, and i'm sure
- 00:05:28.851 --> 00:05:31.421
- This guy is as or gal, but likely a gal as sick,
- 00:05:31.421 --> 00:05:34.957
- Twisted, awful, demonic as possible.
- 00:05:34.957 --> 00:05:37.794
- It's a guy. got it.
- 00:05:37.794 --> 00:05:39.695
- This.
- 00:05:39.929 --> 00:05:41.097
- This guy who is now dead, who could have killed a lot
- 00:05:41.097 --> 00:05:44.033
- More, was only expressing an existential emptiness.
- 00:05:44.033 --> 00:05:48.171
- Why was this guy drawn to a church to murder
- 00:05:48.171 --> 00:05:52.008
- Young people at mass?
- 00:05:52.008 --> 00:05:55.611
- And so while that email is well received, charlie,
- 00:05:55.611 --> 00:05:57.980
- How could you believe in god after this?
- 00:05:57.980 --> 00:06:01.184
- The question that i would respond is.
- 00:06:01.184 --> 00:06:04.987
- Well, how can you not believe
- 00:06:05.621 --> 00:06:08.858
- In a god that created the heavens in the earth?
- 00:06:08.858 --> 00:06:11.627
- The problem of evil has well outdated every single person.
- 00:06:11.627 --> 00:06:15.531
- It's predated almost every single commentator.
- 00:06:15.531 --> 00:06:18.167
- But if you don't believe in god, then you say
- 00:06:18.167 --> 00:06:20.102
- Evil is no problem.
- 00:06:20.102 --> 00:06:21.571
- But if you are upset with it, you actually are implying
- 00:06:21.571 --> 00:06:24.307
- That you believe in god.
- 00:06:24.307 --> 00:06:25.508
- You might be angry at god, you might be wrestling with god.
- 00:06:25.508 --> 00:06:29.312
- You might be mad at god.
- 00:06:29.312 --> 00:06:31.080
- You might think that god is unjust.
- 00:06:31.080 --> 00:06:32.715
- That's a completely different thing.
- 00:06:32.715 --> 00:06:36.719
- Than not believing in god.
- 00:06:37.286 --> 00:06:38.988
- In fact, we're called to wrestle with god.
- 00:06:38.988 --> 00:06:41.123
- It's very normal in the old testament
- 00:06:41.123 --> 00:06:43.493
- For people to cry out to god in disgust or anger.
- 00:06:43.493 --> 00:06:46.429
- It's not always justified, but it's very normal.
- 00:06:46.429 --> 00:06:49.332
- That's different than saying that there is no god.
- 00:06:49.332 --> 00:06:51.934
- We pray for those affected in minneapolis and we continue
- 00:06:51.934 --> 00:06:55.071
- After the break.
- 00:06:55.071 --> 00:06:58.808
- It's right over israel's border.
- 00:06:59.509 --> 00:07:01.711
- There are thousands of christians and druze
- 00:07:01.711 --> 00:07:04.113
- Who are being targeted and killed.
- 00:07:04.113 --> 00:07:06.015
- I'm going to close the door.
- 00:07:06.015 --> 00:07:07.683
- Your vision.
- 00:07:07.683 --> 00:07:09.785
- But for us, the fellowship cannot stand by and watch.
- 00:07:09.785 --> 00:07:13.923
- We are sending aid in.
- 00:07:14.390 --> 00:07:16.759
- Most of the world is oblivious to what's happened
- 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:19.595
- To thousands of people who have lost their lives.
- 00:07:19.595 --> 00:07:23.232
- No food, no medicine.
- 00:07:23.232 --> 00:07:27.537
- We're standing in the middle of america
- 00:07:28.337 --> 00:07:31.207
- Who will be in the hands of jews and christians alike.
- 00:07:31.207 --> 00:07:35.912
- I'm proud of the international fellowship of christians
- 00:07:35.912 --> 00:07:38.915
- And jews to reach inside these most hostile territories
- 00:07:38.915 --> 00:07:42.552
- And save human lives, wherever it's needed.
- 00:07:42.552 --> 00:07:46.722
- We will continue to save lives of our brothers and sisters.
- 00:07:46.722 --> 00:07:50.359
- We will continue to give hope.
- 00:07:50.359 --> 00:07:53.596
- To learn more, please go to ifc.org.
- 00:07:53.596 --> 00:07:59.005
- To learn more, please go to ifc.org.
- 00:07:59.005 --> 00:08:03.941
- We have a great guest right now
- 00:08:04.575 --> 00:08:05.943
- And a wonderful friend, michael knowles.
- 00:08:05.943 --> 00:08:08.745
- Michael knowles with us.
- 00:08:08.745 --> 00:08:10.213
- Michael, it is, very disturbing day
- 00:08:10.213 --> 00:08:13.283
- Here as we learn of what has happened in minneapolis.
- 00:08:13.283 --> 00:08:16.853
- People are saying it's confirmed.
- 00:08:17.588 --> 00:08:19.456
- And i think that's right
- 00:08:19.456 --> 00:08:21.124
- Of the catholic school shooter, is transgender,
- 00:08:21.124 --> 00:08:24.494
- Which does matter, by the way, as we're
- 00:08:24.494 --> 00:08:27.331
- Talking about the broader policy implications of this,
- 00:08:27.331 --> 00:08:30.367
- Michael, you are mr. catholic.
- 00:08:30.968 --> 00:08:33.036
- You are catholic, number one on our guest roster here.
- 00:08:33.036 --> 00:08:36.540
- What is your reaction?
- 00:08:37.007 --> 00:08:38.375
- This is, a terrible day
- 00:08:38.375 --> 00:08:39.977
- And obviously a demonic and spiritual attack
- 00:08:39.977 --> 00:08:42.746
- Against these now young martyrs of the church.
- 00:08:42.746 --> 00:08:46.883
- Well, obviously, the first thing we all do is
- 00:08:46.883 --> 00:08:48.752
- Pray. of course.
- 00:08:48.752 --> 00:08:49.953
- The, strange coincidence here i was on a conference call
- 00:08:49.953 --> 00:08:55.158
- With a catholic organization when this news broke.
- 00:08:55.158 --> 00:08:57.494
- I wasn't following the news.
- 00:08:57.494 --> 00:08:58.895
- I checked
- 00:08:58.895 --> 00:09:00.097
- My email, and i got an email through my personal website
- 00:09:00.097 --> 00:09:02.499
- From a guy, and he said, hey, i'm in minneapolis.
- 00:09:02.499 --> 00:09:05.669
- I'm law enforcement, military.
- 00:09:05.669 --> 00:09:07.337
- There's been a shooting at this, catholic school
- 00:09:07.337 --> 00:09:09.973
- During mass, and the shooter was trans and killed himself.
- 00:09:09.973 --> 00:09:13.810
- I said, can you please talk about this?
- 00:09:13.810 --> 00:09:15.879
- I did not run with that.
- 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:17.547
- And i don't even mean to say that as though it's,
- 00:09:17.547 --> 00:09:19.916
- A confirmed fact now on your show,
- 00:09:19.916 --> 00:09:22.719
- Because i just said, i don't know.
- 00:09:22.719 --> 00:09:24.021
- And this is before any of this was really being reported.
- 00:09:24.021 --> 00:09:26.790
- Now you're seeing this start to come out.
- 00:09:26.790 --> 00:09:28.692
- Possible identity of the shooter,
- 00:09:28.692 --> 00:09:30.460
- Possible video of the shooter,
- 00:09:30.460 --> 00:09:32.029
- Possible manifesto of the shooter.
- 00:09:32.029 --> 00:09:33.864
- I watched what is, purported oddly, the video
- 00:09:33.864 --> 00:09:37.634
- Released by the shooter.
- 00:09:37.634 --> 00:09:38.969
- And the first reaction is it seems so clearly demonic,
- 00:09:38.969 --> 00:09:43.974
- The kind of language that's being used,
- 00:09:43.974 --> 00:09:45.442
- The way that it's being spoken.
- 00:09:45.442 --> 00:09:46.910
- I'm not one of these people
- 00:09:46.910 --> 00:09:48.478
- Who sees demons hiding under every rocks.
- 00:09:48.478 --> 00:09:50.580
- But if you acknowledge that there's evil in the world
- 00:09:50.580 --> 00:09:52.449
- And you have to acknowledge
- 00:09:52.449 --> 00:09:53.650
- There is a personality to evil, and there's more in heaven
- 00:09:53.650 --> 00:09:56.319
- And earth and is dreamt up in our philosophies.
- 00:09:56.319 --> 00:09:58.121
- So, you know,
- 00:09:58.121 --> 00:09:59.823
- Some of what what has come out of this before the video is a,
- 00:09:59.823 --> 00:10:04.094
- Little firing line, you know,
- 00:10:04.728 --> 00:10:06.296
- Like a target with christ's head on the top of it.
- 00:10:06.296 --> 00:10:09.800
- Some of it is, is blasphemous, terrible language.
- 00:10:09.800 --> 00:10:13.103
- And then, of course, the targeting
- 00:10:13.103 --> 00:10:14.538
- Of a church or a school, not only a school, but a school
- 00:10:14.538 --> 00:10:17.441
- With mass, not only mass, but a mass full of little kids.
- 00:10:17.441 --> 00:10:20.210
- If if this is not demonic, i don't know what is.
- 00:10:20.210 --> 00:10:23.380
- So what you're seeing up on screen
- 00:10:24.114 --> 00:10:26.717
- Is a picture of the mass shooter
- 00:10:26.717 --> 00:10:29.853
- In his video with a very detailed,
- 00:10:29.853 --> 00:10:33.623
- Image of the church and the knife over it.
- 00:10:33.623 --> 00:10:37.461
- He intentionally targeted the catholic church.
- 00:10:37.461 --> 00:10:39.596
- He intentionally targeted kids at mass.
- 00:10:39.596 --> 00:10:41.865
- He intentionally targeted
- 00:10:41.865 --> 00:10:43.700
- Young kids that were catholic and christian.
- 00:10:43.700 --> 00:10:46.737
- Michael.
- 00:10:47.003 --> 00:10:47.971
- I mean, this is an attack on christianity.
- 00:10:47.971 --> 00:10:50.907
- The media likely will just
- 00:10:51.475 --> 00:10:52.909
- Kind of glaze over that and make it all about guns.
- 00:10:52.909 --> 00:10:56.446
- What is your take on this
- 00:10:57.013 --> 00:10:58.482
- This deliberate, yet another christian hate crime?
- 00:10:58.482 --> 00:11:02.119
- And i don't like using that word.
- 00:11:02.119 --> 00:11:04.020
- We are in the midst of a spiritual war.
- 00:11:04.020 --> 00:11:07.090
- Yes. a line that i don't really like using, but
- 00:11:07.090 --> 00:11:10.494
- Is is apt is that it's always the ones you most expect.
- 00:11:10.494 --> 00:11:14.765
- It's always the ones you most expect.
- 00:11:14.765 --> 00:11:15.999
- So in this case,
- 00:11:15.999 --> 00:11:17.134
- Christians are being targeted while they're at prayer.
- 00:11:17.134 --> 00:11:19.302
- Well, they're the most innocent people
- 00:11:19.302 --> 00:11:20.604
- While they're little kids who don't have personal sin.
- 00:11:20.604 --> 00:11:22.639
- That in itself is, horrifying.
- 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:26.576
- But but you expect it in the sense that all sin is,
- 00:11:26.576 --> 00:11:30.313
- A turning away from god.
- 00:11:30.847 --> 00:11:32.149
- All, all crime, all, all violations of the moral order
- 00:11:32.149 --> 00:11:36.086
- Are expressing a contempt for god and to self deification.
- 00:11:36.086 --> 00:11:39.823
- Now, that's on the spiritual level.
- 00:11:39.823 --> 00:11:42.092
- Then we get down to the political level once again,
- 00:11:42.092 --> 00:11:44.561
- I don't want to get out ahead of ourselves too much.
- 00:11:44.561 --> 00:11:46.763
- We haven't had, the facts that are being floated
- 00:11:46.763 --> 00:11:50.066
- Totally confirmed yet.
- 00:11:50.066 --> 00:11:51.601
- If it is the case that this shooter, as has often been
- 00:11:51.601 --> 00:11:54.938
- The case, has some sexual disorders, has some identity
- 00:11:54.938 --> 00:11:58.675
- Disorders, is on psych psychiatric drugs.
- 00:11:58.675 --> 00:12:01.878
- If that is the case,
- 00:12:01.878 --> 00:12:03.580
- Then then
- 00:12:03.580 --> 00:12:04.648
- It's all the more distressing to say it's always
- 00:12:04.648 --> 00:12:05.782
- The ones you most expect, because we have been told
- 00:12:05.782 --> 00:12:08.185
- As a society to turn a blind eye, to obvious psychosis,
- 00:12:08.185 --> 00:12:12.255
- To obvious problems that are psychological and spiritual,
- 00:12:12.255 --> 00:12:15.559
- To pretend that they're normal, to affirm them,
- 00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:18.562
- Not to intervene
- 00:12:18.562 --> 00:12:19.963
- And to try to help people in this situation.
- 00:12:19.963 --> 00:12:22.132
- And it's no surprise
- 00:12:22.132 --> 00:12:23.733
- That the vast majority of these mass killers are people
- 00:12:23.733 --> 00:12:27.838
- Who have family breakdown, sexual hang ups, psychological
- 00:12:27.838 --> 00:12:31.708
- Hang ups.
- 00:12:31.708 --> 00:12:32.642
- You know, where there were 100 warning signs.
- 00:12:32.642 --> 00:12:34.778
- And we think that the the generous
- 00:12:34.778 --> 00:12:36.880
- And charitable thing to do is ignore it.
- 00:12:36.880 --> 00:12:39.316
- Well, you know, it, it's really a form of cruelty.
- 00:12:39.316 --> 00:12:43.453
- I mean, you know, talk about charity
- 00:12:43.453 --> 00:12:45.188
- And generosity to the victims here, to the victims families.
- 00:12:45.188 --> 00:12:48.592
- Bad things happen.
- 00:12:49.025 --> 00:12:50.093
- The rain falls on the just in the unjust alike.
- 00:12:50.093 --> 00:12:51.595
- But when these sorts of things are preventable,
- 00:12:51.595 --> 00:12:54.130
- It fills one with a with an unyielding anger.
- 00:12:54.130 --> 00:12:56.933
- The way, this is what the left is saying.
- 00:12:56.933 --> 00:12:58.235
- I want you to respond to this.
- 00:12:58.235 --> 00:12:59.469
- They said if prayers worked, these kids would not be dead.
- 00:12:59.469 --> 00:13:02.305
- This is the democrat mayor of minneapolis, jacob frey,
- 00:13:02.305 --> 00:13:06.209
- Or free
- 00:13:06.443 --> 00:13:07.677
- Don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now.
- 00:13:07.677 --> 00:13:10.013
- These kids were literally praying.
- 00:13:10.013 --> 00:13:12.582
- It was the first week of school.
- 00:13:12.582 --> 00:13:14.784
- They were in a church.
- 00:13:14.784 --> 00:13:18.088
- These are kids that should be learning with their friends.
- 00:13:18.088 --> 00:13:22.392
- They should be playing on the playground.
- 00:13:23.226 --> 00:13:26.363
- They should be able to go to school or church
- 00:13:26.363 --> 00:13:29.566
- In peace without the fear or risk of violence.
- 00:13:29.566 --> 00:13:32.569
- And their parents should have the same kind of assurance.
- 00:13:32.569 --> 00:13:35.572
- Brian sunstein, a leading democrat influencer, says,
- 00:13:35.572 --> 00:13:39.409
- Quote, praying is the problem here, not the solution.
- 00:13:39.409 --> 00:13:43.480
- People use prayer instead of action.
- 00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.116
- If prayer
- 00:13:46.416 --> 00:13:47.417
- Work, the house of prayer wouldn't have just
- 00:13:47.417 --> 00:13:48.551
- Experienced this tragedy that is the modern left.
- 00:13:48.551 --> 00:13:50.620
- I want you guys to read that
- 00:13:50.620 --> 00:13:52.856
- Saying that prayer is the problem.
- 00:13:52.856 --> 00:13:55.525
- By the way, prayer leads you to action,
- 00:13:55.525 --> 00:13:57.727
- But prayer is not a guarantee of a covering.
- 00:13:57.727 --> 00:14:02.399
- Prayer is first and foremost an act of worship
- 00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:05.268
- And an act of contrition to an almighty god
- 00:14:05.268 --> 00:14:08.138
- That is the author of life, michael knowles.
- 00:14:08.138 --> 00:14:11.741
- But both statements are absolutely vomit inducing.
- 00:14:12.742 --> 00:14:16.012
- These people, if they weren't so profoundly
- 00:14:16.012 --> 00:14:18.014
- Ignorant, would would merit even more of our anger.
- 00:14:18.014 --> 00:14:21.251
- But let's just follow their ideas to their conclusion.
- 00:14:21.251 --> 00:14:23.620
- What they're saying is don't pray.
- 00:14:23.620 --> 00:14:25.121
- Pray. prayer is stupid.
- 00:14:25.121 --> 00:14:26.323
- Let's make fun of these dead christian kids
- 00:14:26.323 --> 00:14:28.558
- And their families for praying.
- 00:14:28.558 --> 00:14:30.427
- What idiots they are. they shouldn't pray.
- 00:14:30.427 --> 00:14:32.696
- What's the alternative?
- 00:14:32.696 --> 00:14:33.763
- Well, the alternative, i think quite clearly, is that
- 00:14:33.763 --> 00:14:37.334
- We just need to elect
- 00:14:37.334 --> 00:14:38.935
- Progressive politicians and enact progressive policies,
- 00:14:38.935 --> 00:14:42.138
- Because that's going to lead to progressive action
- 00:14:42.138 --> 00:14:44.107
- To solve all of these problems and to prevent mass shootings.
- 00:14:44.107 --> 00:14:47.310
- He's a democrat mayor.
- 00:14:47.777 --> 00:14:49.679
- They're in a democrat state.
- 00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:51.147
- There's a democrat governor.
- 00:14:51.147 --> 00:14:52.582
- They're full of democrat legislators.
- 00:14:52.582 --> 00:14:54.551
- They have all of that.
- 00:14:54.551 --> 00:14:55.585
- How come they didn't fix it,
- 00:14:55.585 --> 00:14:57.587
- You know,
- 00:14:57.587 --> 00:14:58.288
- If if the if the point is
- 00:14:58.288 --> 00:14:59.990
- That you're wasting all your time praying,
- 00:14:59.990 --> 00:15:01.558
- When instead
- 00:15:01.558 --> 00:15:02.359
- You should be electing democrats
- 00:15:02.359 --> 00:15:03.760
- So that we can implement our wise policies.
- 00:15:03.760 --> 00:15:05.595
- Well, you know what?
- 00:15:05.595 --> 00:15:06.796
- You all were elected and you didn't figure it out either.
- 00:15:06.796 --> 00:15:09.766
- And this is one of the errors of liberalism.
- 00:15:09.766 --> 00:15:11.901
- You know, liberalism says no gods, no kings, only men.
- 00:15:11.901 --> 00:15:15.238
- We are going to, through our rationality, create
- 00:15:15.238 --> 00:15:18.908
- A perfect society.
- 00:15:18.908 --> 00:15:19.976
- We're going to ignore original sin.
- 00:15:19.976 --> 00:15:22.012
- Original sin is is not real.
- 00:15:22.012 --> 00:15:23.713
- We're going to live in this perfected utopia
- 00:15:23.713 --> 00:15:25.949
- That hasn't worked out very well.
- 00:15:25.949 --> 00:15:27.650
- And the evidence is we live in a largely secular society,
- 00:15:27.650 --> 00:15:31.154
- An extremely liberal society,
- 00:15:31.154 --> 00:15:32.822
- A society where we're highly technocratic
- 00:15:32.822 --> 00:15:35.392
- And we implement all sorts of wonky policies.
- 00:15:35.392 --> 00:15:37.694
- And guess what?
- 00:15:37.694 --> 00:15:38.595
- They still have an extra original sin.
- 00:15:38.595 --> 00:15:40.897
- So what the christians say is
- 00:15:40.897 --> 00:15:42.699
- They recognize rightly we can't save ourselves.
- 00:15:42.699 --> 00:15:45.101
- You know, that's a that's an ancient heresy.
- 00:15:45.101 --> 00:15:46.636
- It's called plagiarism.
- 00:15:46.636 --> 00:15:47.737
- And it's it's reified in modernity, in liberalism.
- 00:15:47.737 --> 00:15:52.008
- But it's not going to work.
- 00:15:52.008 --> 00:15:53.810
- You're not going to create
- 00:15:53.810 --> 00:15:54.744
- A utopia here on earth because we're fallen
- 00:15:54.744 --> 00:15:56.046
- And we have concupiscence, and evil just exists. okay.
- 00:15:56.046 --> 00:15:58.581
- So in addition to doing what we can,
- 00:15:58.581 --> 00:16:00.650
- Taking appropriate and prudent political actions,
- 00:16:00.650 --> 00:16:03.586
- We're going to pray to god because god made us.
- 00:16:03.586 --> 00:16:06.423
- God sustains us. god is being himself.
- 00:16:06.423 --> 00:16:08.992
- God saves us if we are to be saved.
- 00:16:08.992 --> 00:16:10.927
- And so we're going to rely on him,
- 00:16:10.927 --> 00:16:12.729
- The liberals and the moderns and the secular ists
- 00:16:12.729 --> 00:16:15.398
- Have no such humility, so they become even angrier.
- 00:16:15.398 --> 00:16:18.802
- But it's an impotent kind of anger
- 00:16:18.802 --> 00:16:20.336
- Because none of their policies work either.
- 00:16:20.336 --> 00:16:22.305
- Michael knows.
- 00:16:22.305 --> 00:16:25.475
- I'm proud to partner with amac,
- 00:16:26.109 --> 00:16:27.644
- The association
- 00:16:27.644 --> 00:16:28.645
- Of mature american citizens, because they are
- 00:16:28.645 --> 00:16:30.513
- The voice of mature americans who love this country
- 00:16:30.513 --> 00:16:33.249
- And believe in the core values of faith, family, and freedom.
- 00:16:33.249 --> 00:16:36.586
- While other senior organizations push a woke left
- 00:16:36.586 --> 00:16:39.055
- Wing agenda,
- 00:16:39.055 --> 00:16:40.290
- Amac is doing the real work holding washington accountable.
- 00:16:40.290 --> 00:16:43.393
- They're fighting to make the trump tax cuts permanent,

- Integrity isn't just about machines
- 00:17:33.576 --> 00:17:34.611
- And ballots, it's about the truth.
- 00:17:34.611 --> 00:17:36.312
- And now, thanks to tulsi gabbard,
- 00:17:36.312 --> 00:17:37.680
- We've learned that over the last decade,
- 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:39.315
- The intelligence community has been used to shape
- 00:17:39.315 --> 00:17:41.184
- Narratives, suppress stories, and tip the scales,
- 00:17:41.184 --> 00:17:43.853
- All while pretending to stay neutral.
- 00:17:43.853 --> 00:17:45.855
- Here's charles stockland
- 00:17:45.855 --> 00:17:47.023
- With the facts that you should know
- 00:17:47.023 --> 00:17:48.825
- What amac members are paying attention to,
- 00:17:48.825 --> 00:17:50.927
- And why it matters more than ever.
- 00:17:50.927 --> 00:17:53.329
- At amac, we talk a lot about election integrity,
- 00:17:53.329 --> 00:17:56.566
- Not just because of 2020,
- 00:17:56.566 --> 00:17:58.468
- But because of the
- 00:17:58.468 --> 00:17:59.536
- Entire pattern we've seen over the past decade.
- 00:17:59.536 --> 00:18:02.839
- And that pattern is simple.
- 00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:04.674
- The intelligence community
- 00:18:04.674 --> 00:18:05.942
- Has been used to interfere in american elections.
- 00:18:05.942 --> 00:18:09.012
- It happened in 2016.
- 00:18:09.012 --> 00:18:10.813
- It happened again in 2020.
- 00:18:10.813 --> 00:18:12.482
- And if we don't expose
- 00:18:12.482 --> 00:18:13.650
- And prosecute it, it will happen again.
- 00:18:13.650 --> 00:18:16.252
- So let's walk through what
- 00:18:16.252 --> 00:18:17.587
- Amac members and every informed american needs to understand.
- 00:18:17.587 --> 00:18:21.925
- In 2016, before the election, our own intel agencies assessed
- 00:18:21.925 --> 00:18:26.529
- That russia was likely
- 00:18:26.529 --> 00:18:28.264
- Not trying to interfere in the outcome of the election.
- 00:18:28.264 --> 00:18:31.734
- By early december, dni james clapper, his team even wrote,
- 00:18:31.734 --> 00:18:35.104
- Foreign adversaries did not use cyber attacks on election
- 00:18:35.104 --> 00:18:38.508
- Infrastructure to alter the us presidential election outcome.
- 00:18:38.508 --> 00:18:43.446
- But trump won, and suddenly the narrative changed.
- 00:18:43.446 --> 00:18:46.950
- Obama held a meeting on december 9th with clapper,
- 00:18:46.950 --> 00:18:50.420
- Brennan and mccabe.
- 00:18:50.420 --> 00:18:51.921
- After that, clapper team was instructed to create
- 00:18:51.921 --> 00:18:54.924
- A brand new intelligence report, this time
- 00:18:54.924 --> 00:18:58.628
- Focused on how russia allegedly tried to help trump.
- 00:18:58.628 --> 00:19:02.165
- That's not analysis.
- 00:19:02.632 --> 00:19:04.167
- That's an assignment.
- 00:19:04.167 --> 00:19:05.735
- The ic was told, go find something.
- 00:19:05.735 --> 00:19:08.938
- Leaks began the very day with the washington post
- 00:19:08.938 --> 00:19:11.674
- Quoting anonymous officials suggesting
- 00:19:11.674 --> 00:19:13.610
- Russia had actively influence the election.
- 00:19:13.610 --> 00:19:16.779
- Just three weeks later, they released a new report
- 00:19:16.779 --> 00:19:19.716
- Claiming russia interfered to help trump win.
- 00:19:19.716 --> 00:19:22.452
- It contradicted earlier assessments, and worse,
- 00:19:22.452 --> 00:19:25.588
- It relied on the steele dossier and other discredited
- 00:19:25.588 --> 00:19:29.192
- Partizan sources as dni.
- 00:19:29.192 --> 00:19:31.394
- Tulsi gabbard said that intelligence was manufactured.
- 00:19:31.394 --> 00:19:35.531
- It contradicted every other internal finding.
- 00:19:35.531 --> 00:19:38.534
- But the damage was done.
- 00:19:38.534 --> 00:19:40.003
- It launched years of media smears, a special counsel
- 00:19:40.003 --> 00:19:43.439
- Investigation, impeachment attempts
- 00:19:43.439 --> 00:19:45.842
- And a permanent cloud over the trump presidency.
- 00:19:45.842 --> 00:19:48.444
- It was built on a knowingly false lie information
- 00:19:48.444 --> 00:19:52.148
- Pushed by partizan actors inside the government.
- 00:19:52.148 --> 00:19:55.385
- Now let's fast forward to 2020.
- 00:19:55.385 --> 00:19:57.553
- Weeks before the election,
- 00:19:57.553 --> 00:19:58.921
- The hunter biden laptop story drops.
- 00:19:58.921 --> 00:20:01.190
- The emails are damning, and they're authentic.
- 00:20:01.190 --> 00:20:03.726
- But 51 former intel officials, including cia directors
- 00:20:03.726 --> 00:20:08.264
- And nsa heads,
- 00:20:08.264 --> 00:20:09.699
- Issue a public letter claiming the story had, quote,
- 00:20:09.699 --> 00:20:13.469
- All the classic earmarks of russian disinformation.
- 00:20:13.469 --> 00:20:16.773
- The letter was coordinated with the biden campaign.
- 00:20:16.773 --> 00:20:19.809
- Former cia deputy michael morell admitted
- 00:20:19.809 --> 00:20:22.378
- Was all set in motion
- 00:20:22.378 --> 00:20:23.846
- After a call from biden adviser tony blinken.
- 00:20:23.846 --> 00:20:26.816
- They use their titles, not evidence, to create
- 00:20:26.816 --> 00:20:29.585
- A talking point for joe biden during the final debate.
- 00:20:29.585 --> 00:20:32.322
- And it worked.
- 00:20:32.655 --> 00:20:33.690
- The media and social platforms shut the story down.
- 00:20:33.690 --> 00:20:36.859
- The american people were lied to again.
- 00:20:36.859 --> 00:20:39.062
- We now know the fbi had already verified the laptop in 2019.
- 00:20:39.062 --> 00:20:43.433
- There was never any russian involvement.
- 00:20:43.433 --> 00:20:45.668
- They knew it.
- 00:20:45.668 --> 00:20:46.402
- And they pushed the lie anyway.
- 00:20:46.402 --> 00:20:48.471
- That era of unaccountable manipulation we're hoping
- 00:20:48.471 --> 00:20:51.708
- Is ending.
- 00:20:51.708 --> 00:20:52.809
- Gabbard called it what it is a treasonous conspiracy
- 00:20:52.809 --> 00:20:56.479
- To undermine a duly elected president and sway
- 00:20:56.479 --> 00:20:59.215
- The public during two presidential elections.
- 00:20:59.215 --> 00:21:01.984
- She said, clearly, every person involved must be investigated
- 00:21:01.984 --> 00:21:06.055
- And prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
- 00:21:06.055 --> 00:21:09.359
- President trump has already revoked
- 00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:11.027
- The security clearances of dozens of officials
- 00:21:11.027 --> 00:21:13.629
- Who signed that 2020 letter.
- 00:21:13.629 --> 00:21:15.565
- New rules are being put in place
- 00:21:15.565 --> 00:21:17.533
- For anyone with intel credentials,
- 00:21:17.533 --> 00:21:19.702
- From abusing them for political influence.
- 00:21:19.702 --> 00:21:22.138
- And at amac.
- 00:21:22.138 --> 00:21:23.005
- We support every one of these actions.
- 00:21:23.005 --> 00:21:25.775
- This isn't about partizanship.
- 00:21:25.775 --> 00:21:27.677
- It's about protecting the vote
- 00:21:27.677 --> 00:21:29.512
- Because the voters are lied to.
- 00:21:29.512 --> 00:21:31.347
- If voters are pressured
- 00:21:31.347 --> 00:21:32.782
- Or manipulated elections, they lose their meaning.
- 00:21:32.782 --> 00:21:35.918
- And election
- 00:21:36.252 --> 00:21:37.353
- Integrity doesn't start and stop at the ballot box.
- 00:21:37.353 --> 00:21:39.922
- It starts with truth, and it ends with accountability.
- 00:21:39.922 --> 00:21:43.092
- The amac community understands that.
- 00:21:43.092 --> 00:21:45.428
- We've seen how the deep state operates
- 00:21:45.428 --> 00:21:47.630
- And we will not be silent.
- 00:21:47.630 --> 00:21:49.499
- President trump is taking action.
- 00:21:49.499 --> 00:21:51.434
- Dni gabbard is cleaning house and amac is standing with them.
- 00:21:51.434 --> 00:21:55.872
- So if you're with us,
- 00:21:55.872 --> 00:21:57.039
- If you want the intelligence community out of politics
- 00:21:57.039 --> 00:22:00.143
- And our elections
- 00:22:00.143 --> 00:22:01.344
- Back in the hands of the people, then join us now.
- 00:22:01.344 --> 00:22:04.280

- 00:22:07.784 --> 00:22:11.354
- In the united states of america. thanks, charlie.
- 00:22:11.354 --> 00:22:14.524
- Thanks, charles.
- 00:22:14.924 --> 00:22:15.625
- It's time to
- 00:22:15.625 --> 00:22:16.826
- Make sure that our elections are still free and protected
- 00:22:16.826 --> 00:22:19.162
- From both foreign and domestic interference.
- 00:22:19.162 --> 00:22:21.697
- Amac is fighting to make it happen.
- 00:22:21.697 --> 00:22:23.866
- Join the movement to restore trust, accountability
- 00:22:23.866 --> 00:22:26.202
- And integrity. good. aim at u.s.
- 00:22:26.202 --> 00:22:28.571
- Integrity right now and get involved.
- 00:22:28.571 --> 00:22:31.941
- Friends just across israel's border inside syria.
- 00:22:32.942 --> 00:22:36.078
- Entire christian and druze families have been slaughtered
- 00:22:36.078 --> 00:22:39.649
- By islamic terrorists. it's shocking.
- 00:22:39.649 --> 00:22:41.818
- It's heartbreaking.
- 00:22:41.818 --> 00:22:42.852
- And the international fellowship of christians
- 00:22:42.852 --> 00:22:44.520
- And jews
- 00:22:44.520 --> 00:22:45.221
- Is there on the ground,
- 00:22:45.221 --> 00:22:46.389
- Working hand in hand with israel and the idf to respond.
- 00:22:46.389 --> 00:22:49.559
- The fellowship has rushed in over 1500 emergency food boxes.
- 00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:53.596
- They've opened
- 00:22:53.596 --> 00:22:54.764
- A brand new medical clinic in a village that had none.
- 00:22:54.764 --> 00:22:56.899
- Truckloads of medical equipment
- 00:22:56.899 --> 00:22:58.367
- And supplies went straight to hospitals
- 00:22:58.367 --> 00:23:00.102
- Because the need is so desperate.
- 00:23:00.102 --> 00:23:01.571
- This is our faith in action.
- 00:23:01.571 --> 00:23:02.905
- Israel is stopping the terrorists.
- 00:23:02.905 --> 00:23:04.607
- Now it's on us christians and jews to care
- 00:23:04.607 --> 00:23:06.476
- For the survivors,
- 00:23:06.476 --> 00:23:07.410
- To pray for the persecuted,
- 00:23:07.410 --> 00:23:08.811
- And to stand with them against evil.
- 00:23:08.811 --> 00:23:10.580
- I'm asking you to join me in
- 00:23:10.580 --> 00:23:11.781
- Standing with the international
- 00:23:11.781 --> 00:23:13.349
- Fellowship of christians and jews, right now called ifrc.
- 00:23:13.349 --> 00:23:16.152
- Jorg that is ifrc. jorg.
- 00:23:16.152 --> 00:23:18.321
- We could meet terror with compassion.
- 00:23:18.321 --> 00:23:20.056
- We can be part of bringing food, medical help
- 00:23:20.056 --> 00:23:21.991
- And hope to christian and druze communities in syria
- 00:23:21.991 --> 00:23:24.627
- Who need it most.
- 00:23:24.627 --> 00:23:24.627
