Charlie Kirk Today | Greg Laurie: November 6, 2025 | Charlie Kirk Today | November 6, 2025

Brought to you in part by the
00:00:00.790 --> 00:00:02.492
International fellowship of christians and jews.
00:00:02.492 --> 00:00:14.370
Andrew corbett, joined by blake neff
00:00:15.138 --> 00:00:17.740
And tyler boyer, ceo of turning point action.
00:00:17.740 --> 00:00:21.344
There was one bright spot.
00:00:21.344 --> 00:00:24.147
There was a there was a.
00:00:24.147 --> 00:00:25.248
Okay, listen,
00:00:25.248 --> 00:00:26.282
There was actually a few, maybe bright spots,
00:00:26.282 --> 00:00:28.251
One extraordinarily bright spot.
00:00:28.251 --> 00:00:29.752
And that was here in mesa, arizona.
00:00:29.752 --> 00:00:31.788
And the turning point action team led the charge on that.
00:00:31.788 --> 00:00:34.924
The grass roots rose up and and ousted in a
00:00:34.924 --> 00:00:37.861
In a really difficult scenario.
00:00:37.861 --> 00:00:41.064
Pillsbury who was the republicans
00:00:41.064 --> 00:00:43.800
For kamala leader in the state of arizona.
00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:46.936
So tyler boyer, why don't you tell us, the back story there?
00:00:46.936 --> 00:00:49.739
Yeah.
00:00:49.739 --> 00:00:50.840
I mean, this is this is covered by the new york times.
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:52.942
I'm dropping in the chat
00:00:53.476 --> 00:00:54.310
If we want to throw it at politico.
00:00:54.310 --> 00:00:56.312
Brought this up.
00:00:56.312 --> 00:00:58.248
This is a huge race.
00:00:58.248 --> 00:01:00.617
Essentially what happened was,
00:01:00.617 --> 00:01:02.318
The face of republicans for kamala.
00:01:02.318 --> 00:01:05.989
So you want to talk about soros type, funded ventures.
00:01:05.989 --> 00:01:11.194
You had this entire mind,
00:01:11.194 --> 00:01:14.164
F whatever you want to call it,
00:01:14.864 --> 00:01:17.066
That happened in 2020 or 2024,
00:01:17.066 --> 00:01:19.035
Where they funded these fake republicans for biden
00:01:19.035 --> 00:01:22.505
And then republic and later became republicans for harris,
00:01:22.505 --> 00:01:25.942
Or conservatives for harris and all the key swing states.
00:01:25.942 --> 00:01:29.679
So the face of this organization in many ways
00:01:29.679 --> 00:01:33.216
Was the mayor of mesa, arizona.
00:01:33.216 --> 00:01:35.385
His name is john giles.
00:01:35.385 --> 00:01:36.719
He got termed out and so was done this last year.
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:39.889
And his former vice mayor, julie pillsbury,
00:01:39.889 --> 00:01:43.793
Who both were lds, both were mormon,
00:01:43.793 --> 00:01:47.297
And they were running the as the face of this
00:01:47.297 --> 00:01:50.166
National operation that was abandoned.
00:01:50.166 --> 00:01:53.469
Trump if you're a republican and vote against him in 2024,
00:01:53.469 --> 00:01:57.440
So what are the lessons here from this local race
00:01:57.440 --> 00:02:00.577
That we can extrapolate to the national scene?
00:02:00.577 --> 00:02:03.346
So this is the heart of the i mean, these types of, of,
00:02:03.346 --> 00:02:07.317
Psyops some people call them these type of,
00:02:07.317 --> 00:02:10.119
These type of things that happen with
00:02:10.119 --> 00:02:11.421
The politics are at the heart of how
00:02:11.421 --> 00:02:14.290
They control the narrative around these elections.
00:02:14.290 --> 00:02:17.961
So we ran, but we didn't run it.
00:02:17.961 --> 00:02:21.531
The grassroots ran it.
00:02:21.531 --> 00:02:22.465
We supported it fully.
00:02:22.465 --> 00:02:24.133
Was removing this person from office to recall or remove
00:02:24.133 --> 00:02:27.604
Someone from office is
00:02:27.604 --> 00:02:28.404
One of the most difficult things
00:02:28.404 --> 00:02:29.505
That you can do with in politics.
00:02:29.505 --> 00:02:31.407
But this is so important to do
00:02:31.407 --> 00:02:33.910
When people try to run these type of operations.
00:02:33.910 --> 00:02:37.880
And it was hard work.
00:02:37.880 --> 00:02:39.983
You have to go out, recruit all of the people to do it.
00:02:39.983 --> 00:02:44.020
You have to
00:02:44.020 --> 00:02:45.221
Collect the petitions and then ultimately win the election.
00:02:45.221 --> 00:02:48.258
This lady last year, the significance of this
00:02:48.258 --> 00:02:50.593
In arizona, arizona,
00:02:50.593 --> 00:02:52.061
This is one of the biggest cities in america.
00:02:52.061 --> 00:02:54.197
It's like top 35 cities.
00:02:54.197 --> 00:02:55.632
This is a actually maricopa
00:02:55.632 --> 00:02:56.866
Is like the fifth largest metro area of all in
00:02:56.866 --> 00:03:00.103
Not i know not mesa specifically,
00:03:00.103 --> 00:03:02.105
But people need to understand how big this.
00:03:02.105 --> 00:03:03.640
It's the fourth largest
00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:04.774
Metropolitan area in the country
00:03:04.774 --> 00:03:06.142
And it's and the phoenix metro area.
00:03:06.142 --> 00:03:08.911
So phoenix mesa is usually how it's referred to
00:03:08.911 --> 00:03:11.681
Is the most conservative out of the big metro area.
00:03:11.681 --> 00:03:14.517
So this is like
00:03:14.517 --> 00:03:15.551
Target number one for the democrats to topple.
00:03:15.551 --> 00:03:17.854
The democrats won a term.
00:03:17.854 --> 00:03:19.055
Maricopa county blew
00:03:19.055 --> 00:03:20.056
For obvious reasons that we all know, all the,
00:03:20.056 --> 00:03:22.892
Hankie panky that's gone on with elections
00:03:22.892 --> 00:03:25.361
And everything else that's getting somewhat corrected.
00:03:25.361 --> 00:03:28.331
Not fully as much as we'd like, but getting in there.
00:03:28.331 --> 00:03:31.401
This is the target prime.
00:03:31.401 --> 00:03:33.102
Target number one.
00:03:33.102 --> 00:03:34.270
And so this is why they choose people
00:03:34.270 --> 00:03:36.873
Like this to lead the face of these type of operations.
00:03:36.873 --> 00:03:39.642
And this is why it's so important
00:03:39.642 --> 00:03:40.943
To remove these people
00:03:40.943 --> 00:03:41.811
From office because it's part of it.
00:03:41.811 --> 00:03:43.212
They were recruit a mormon to do this too.
00:03:43.212 --> 00:03:45.748
So i just want to like
00:03:45.748 --> 00:03:46.883
I want to crystallize this for everybody.
00:03:46.883 --> 00:03:48.985
This is a recall election where it's an r versus an r.
00:03:48.985 --> 00:03:52.121
That's the toughest type of election
00:03:52.121 --> 00:03:54.657
To educate a population that's kind of checked out.
00:03:54.657 --> 00:03:57.293
It's an off cycle, off year election, you see.
00:03:57.293 --> 00:04:00.897
Which are am i choosing. right.
00:04:00.897 --> 00:04:02.732
And so you have to
00:04:02.732 --> 00:04:03.599
Then do the grassroots
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:04.801
Work, the doorknocking in order to get this over the top.
00:04:04.801 --> 00:04:07.737
And because one one this is how they do it, right.
00:04:07.737 --> 00:04:10.540
So one is like a fraudulent republican
00:04:10.540 --> 00:04:13.376
That's that has the backing
00:04:13.376 --> 00:04:14.844
Of all the democrats, a republican for kamala.
00:04:14.844 --> 00:04:17.347
Yeah.
00:04:17.347 --> 00:04:18.381
It's all the backing of all the democrat party.
00:04:18.381 --> 00:04:19.716
So basically,
00:04:19.716 --> 00:04:20.917
To win this election, you have to overcome the establishment.
00:04:20.917 --> 00:04:24.253
Some people refer it to as the unit party.
00:04:24.253 --> 00:04:26.522
And then you have to also tackle the democrat party.
00:04:26.522 --> 00:04:29.525
Yeah.
00:04:29.525 --> 00:04:30.426
So they're not going to run a democrat
00:04:30.426 --> 00:04:31.427
In this district because it's so conservative.
00:04:31.427 --> 00:04:33.162
So they're they're
00:04:33.162 --> 00:04:34.097
They're putting a wolf in sheep's clothing
00:04:34.097 --> 00:04:36.065
To come and do this in a place like mesa.
00:04:36.065 --> 00:04:38.434
Yeah. and because they're trying to flip mesa. right.
00:04:38.434 --> 00:04:40.570
Like over time they want to make mesa blue.
00:04:40.570 --> 00:04:43.639
And so they've, they've
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:45.208
They've been fairly successful at this in years past.
00:04:45.208 --> 00:04:48.378
And, you're basically even in a place where it's
00:04:48.378 --> 00:04:51.581
60% republican, that's, that's like this district,
00:04:51.581 --> 00:04:54.417
This district's like 50, 55, 60% republican.
00:04:54.417 --> 00:04:58.287
But again, it's like 30 plus
00:04:58.287 --> 00:05:00.823
Percent, 40% democrat.
00:05:00.823 --> 00:05:03.593
You have to again win.
00:05:03.593 --> 00:05:05.628
Basically, all the republicans educate
00:05:05.628 --> 00:05:07.764
All the republicans to vote against their.
00:05:07.764 --> 00:05:09.499
So so yesterday
00:05:09.499 --> 00:05:10.700
That was the huge bright spot was this leader.
00:05:10.700 --> 00:05:13.302
This was a national leader in a swing state,
00:05:13.302 --> 00:05:16.406
A national leftist leader in his swing.
00:05:16.406 --> 00:05:19.242
So let me just back that up.
00:05:19.242 --> 00:05:20.343
There was axios, there was politico,
00:05:20.343 --> 00:05:23.146
There was new york times.
00:05:23.146 --> 00:05:24.213
They were all out here on a on a city council race
00:05:24.213 --> 00:05:27.683
Well, you have to look at how they react.
00:05:27.683 --> 00:05:29.752
Politico has a headline a few days ago.
00:05:29.752 --> 00:05:31.387
This is like the first test of turning point as an actual.
00:05:31.387 --> 00:05:34.724
Yeah, they want to know muscle in politics.
00:05:34.724 --> 00:05:37.193
You you have to blink in order to to flip the state
00:05:37.193 --> 00:05:40.096
Because if it where as phoenix goes, the phoenix metropolitan
00:05:40.096 --> 00:05:42.899
Area goes, arizona goes as arizona goes,
00:05:42.899 --> 00:05:45.902
Statistically the presidency goes. yeah.
00:05:45.902 --> 00:05:47.904
And also when people don't realize this is that
00:05:47.904 --> 00:05:50.907
These things are so critical because if you lose them,
00:05:50.907 --> 00:05:54.644
It gives it emboldens the left to spend millions more dollars
00:05:54.644 --> 00:05:58.614
In your swing state to win the next big election.
00:05:58.614 --> 00:06:01.984
Today the democrats woke up going, wow, they mean business.
00:06:01.984 --> 00:06:06.889
Maybe we should
00:06:06.889 --> 00:06:07.657
Invest the millions
00:06:07.657 --> 00:06:08.724
More dollars into that state next election cycle
00:06:08.724 --> 00:06:11.627
Because it's not worth it. we need to come up
00:06:11.627 --> 00:06:13.129
With a different strategy to win in 2028.
00:06:13.129 --> 00:06:15.698
That is exactly what we want them to do.
00:06:15.698 --> 00:06:17.767
Well, if you run the models there, it's like, what is it
00:06:17.767 --> 00:06:20.369
Like 70% of the democrat models to win a nationwide
00:06:20.369 --> 00:06:23.139
Presidential race go through arizona?
00:06:23.139 --> 00:06:24.907
That's right.
00:06:24.907 --> 00:06:25.975
So if you break the backs of the democrat party
00:06:25.975 --> 00:06:28.377
In this state,
00:06:28.377 --> 00:06:29.312
You demoralize them and you let them know,
00:06:29.312 --> 00:06:31.347
Like, hey, there's a new sheriff in town.
00:06:31.347 --> 00:06:33.149
We're not going to be messed with, and we're going to pour
00:06:33.149 --> 00:06:35.218
A ton of resources and manpower to the state.
00:06:35.218 --> 00:06:37.420
Well, guess what?
00:06:37.420 --> 00:06:38.488
Their models get a lot trickier, a lot more difficult.
00:06:38.488 --> 00:06:42.024
And so that's why we're we're
00:06:42.024 --> 00:06:43.493
We are not going anywhere in the state of arizona
00:06:43.493 --> 00:06:46.095
Is matter of fact,
00:06:46.095 --> 00:06:47.196
Tyler, it's safe to say we are doubling tripling down,
00:06:47.196 --> 00:06:49.932
In the future. yes, sir.
00:06:49.932 --> 00:06:52.101
That's right.
00:06:52.468 --> 00:06:53.069
And we have, more on this.
00:06:53.069 --> 00:06:55.538
I think we should share some of these videos
00:06:55.538 --> 00:06:56.973
After we come out of the break here.
00:06:56.973 --> 00:06:58.074
Yeah, well, it's going to be pretty great.
00:06:58.074 --> 00:07:00.510
Yeah, we could do, let's go to 9290 real quick.
00:07:00.510 --> 00:07:05.648
Yeah.
00:07:05.882 --> 00:07:06.949
Look, i people are always saying that they wish
00:07:06.949 --> 00:07:08.784
They had better candidates that would run for office.
00:07:08.784 --> 00:07:12.255
I don't think that's true.
00:07:12.822 --> 00:07:13.789
Because when good people run
00:07:13.789 --> 00:07:15.358
For office, just because i want to serve my community.
00:07:15.358 --> 00:07:18.261
And then this is what happens to me.
00:07:19.061 --> 00:07:20.930
Why would anyone want to run
00:07:20.930 --> 00:07:22.765
When you have groups like turning point
00:07:22.765 --> 00:07:24.233
That can go out there and put up thousands of signs?
00:07:24.233 --> 00:07:27.570
Too bad, so sad.
00:07:27.970 --> 00:07:29.572
We'll be right back.
00:07:29.572 --> 00:07:34.176
In genesis
00:07:34.477 --> 00:07:35.378
12 three, god made a powerful promise
00:07:35.378 --> 00:07:38.014
To abraham, the father of the jewish people.
00:07:38.014 --> 00:07:41.183
I will bless those who bless you.
00:07:41.183 --> 00:07:43.286
The christian bible tells us that we have been grafted
00:07:44.387 --> 00:07:47.290
Into god's family tree, the rich olive tree of israel.
00:07:47.290 --> 00:07:51.294
The very foundations of the christian faith,
00:07:51.294 --> 00:07:53.729
The bible and jesus, whom christians call
00:07:53.729 --> 00:07:56.299
The messiah, are deeply rooted in israel.
00:07:56.299 --> 00:07:59.769
Supporting israel aligns christians with god's
00:07:59.769 --> 00:08:02.438
Prophetic timeline.
00:08:02.438 --> 00:08:03.773
It demonstrates our willingness to be instruments of
00:08:03.773 --> 00:08:07.043
God's blessing, uplifting his chosen people,
00:08:07.043 --> 00:08:10.580
And it calls us to confront and heal
00:08:10.580 --> 00:08:12.848
The centuries old wounds of anti-semitism.
00:08:12.848 --> 00:08:15.885
The scripture says how good and how
00:08:15.885 --> 00:08:18.354
Pleasant it is when brethren dwell together.
00:08:18.354 --> 00:08:21.657
You can be part of this historic movement
00:08:21.657 --> 00:08:25.194
Of bringing light to our world.

Andrew corbett,
00:08:38.486 --> 00:08:39.354
Executive producer of this fine show,
00:08:39.354 --> 00:08:40.688
Joined by pastor greg laurie pastor, you are
00:08:40.688 --> 00:08:45.026
One of the most i'm going to say you're going to
00:08:45.026 --> 00:08:47.395
You don't have to sit, but
00:08:47.395 --> 00:08:48.630
You're one of the most famous evangelists in the country.
00:08:48.630 --> 00:08:51.232
You do.
00:08:51.466 --> 00:08:52.166
You harvest
00:08:52.166 --> 00:08:53.368
Crusades in angel stadium all over the country as well.
00:08:53.368 --> 00:08:56.237
Thousands and thousands of people
00:08:56.237 --> 00:08:57.705
Come to faith in jesus christ.
00:08:57.705 --> 00:08:59.774
You know, you knew charlie.
00:08:59.774 --> 00:09:01.976
You you came to our events.
00:09:01.976 --> 00:09:04.045
You've you've been supportive.
00:09:04.045 --> 00:09:05.346
You you do things the right way.
00:09:05.346 --> 00:09:07.215
You have a long history
00:09:07.215 --> 00:09:08.383
And a really thriving church in southern california.
00:09:08.383 --> 00:09:10.652
Multiple campuses.
00:09:10.652 --> 00:09:12.620
I've known you for years.
00:09:12.620 --> 00:09:14.155
I just want you to help make sense of this moment.
00:09:14.155 --> 00:09:19.093
You know, a lot of people talk about revival.
00:09:19.093 --> 00:09:21.429
We've seen revival.
00:09:21.429 --> 00:09:22.430
We've also seen opposition.
00:09:22.430 --> 00:09:24.532
The floor is yours.
00:09:24.532 --> 00:09:26.601
I mean, help us put eyes to this.
00:09:26.601 --> 00:09:30.271
Well,
00:09:30.505 --> 00:09:31.673
I'm reminded of that first line of a tale of two cities.
00:09:31.673 --> 00:09:33.474
It was the best of times. it was a worst of times. you know,
00:09:33.474 --> 00:09:36.411
Both things can happen simultaneously.
00:09:37.245 --> 00:09:40.181
And these are dark times, but they're very bright times.
00:09:40.181 --> 00:09:44.786
And there are signs of revival.
00:09:44.786 --> 00:09:46.854
And i don't say that lightly, because i was around
00:09:46.854 --> 00:09:50.058
For the last great spiritual awakening, the jesus movement.
00:09:50.058 --> 00:09:52.927
You know, i didn't realize it at the time, andrew,
00:09:52.927 --> 00:09:55.263
But i had a front row seat to an actual spiritual awakening,
00:09:55.263 --> 00:09:59.367
The last great awakening in, of all places in california.
00:09:59.367 --> 00:10:03.838
And so, you know, looking back
00:10:04.439 --> 00:10:06.441
People say, do you think we're having
00:10:06.441 --> 00:10:07.709
Another jesus revolution?
00:10:07.709 --> 00:10:09.177
I said, well, i see promising signs.
00:10:09.177 --> 00:10:11.512
But now, looking at the last just few months,
00:10:11.512 --> 00:10:13.815
I would say i see more than promising signs.
00:10:13.815 --> 00:10:16.117
I see things happening
00:10:16.117 --> 00:10:17.752
That have not happened for a long time,
00:10:17.752 --> 00:10:20.388
And things that have never happened at all.
00:10:20.388 --> 00:10:22.256
Take baptisms, for instance.
00:10:22.256 --> 00:10:24.225
You know, back in the heyday of the jesus movement,
00:10:24.225 --> 00:10:26.894
We would go to a little spot
00:10:26.894 --> 00:10:28.129
Called pirates cove and baptize a lot of people.
00:10:28.129 --> 00:10:31.032
But in the last just few years, we've seen over
00:10:31.032 --> 00:10:34.402
20,000 people baptized at that same spot.
00:10:34.402 --> 00:10:37.939
The movie had a little cause, an effect.
00:10:37.939 --> 00:10:39.907
It was sort of like a case of,
00:10:39.907 --> 00:10:41.676
You know, they see a movie or whatever.
00:10:41.676 --> 00:10:43.611
Art imitates life.
00:10:43.611 --> 00:10:44.712
In this case, life is imitating art, imitating life.
00:10:44.712 --> 00:10:47.715
People said, oh, i want to be baptized in that spot.
00:10:47.715 --> 00:10:50.051
But this is a phenomenon.
00:10:50.051 --> 00:10:52.019
And of course, since charlie was killed in
00:10:52.019 --> 00:10:56.224
I hate to say that, but, you know,
00:10:56.224 --> 00:10:57.759
We have to say this, and i think
00:10:57.759 --> 00:10:59.427
It's more than just saying he died.
00:10:59.427 --> 00:11:01.329
He was murdered.
00:11:01.329 --> 00:11:02.196
And we all know that.
00:11:02.196 --> 00:11:03.798
But, and i'm, you know, i'm humbled and honored
00:11:03.798 --> 00:11:06.567
To be in the studio where he would sit in the seat
00:11:06.567 --> 00:11:09.036
Right next to me and and do what he did so well.
00:11:09.036 --> 00:11:12.940
But, but it's like rocket fuel has been poured
00:11:12.940 --> 00:11:16.144
On a preexisting fire, and i see it intensifying.
00:11:16.144 --> 00:11:19.747
In fact, wall street journal, you probably saw this article,
00:11:19.747 --> 00:11:22.784
Even commented on the upsurge of bible sales.
00:11:22.784 --> 00:11:25.920
And they directly attribute this to to charlie's death.
00:11:25.920 --> 00:11:29.490
And so,
00:11:29.490 --> 00:11:30.258
You know, andrew,
00:11:30.258 --> 00:11:31.459
You may remember that our son christopher died
00:11:31.459 --> 00:11:34.228
In an automobile accident 16 years ago.
00:11:34.228 --> 00:11:37.698
And so i
00:11:37.965 --> 00:11:39.066
Think when something tragic happens to christians
00:11:39.066 --> 00:11:41.335
Like that, we try to like, why why did god let this happen?
00:11:41.335 --> 00:11:46.207
And sometimes some christians, well-meaning
00:11:46.207 --> 00:11:48.876
But i think misdirected, will try to find cause
00:11:48.876 --> 00:11:51.078
And in fact like this happened.
00:11:51.078 --> 00:11:52.480
So this other thing will happen.
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:54.182
I think we need to separate them.
00:11:54.182 --> 00:11:55.817
Then look at them together.
00:11:55.817 --> 00:11:57.785
Charlie, being killed was a horrible tragedy.
00:11:57.785 --> 00:12:01.722
The end.
00:12:01.989 --> 00:12:03.324
But despite a horrible tragedy, god is doing a mighty work.
00:12:03.324 --> 00:12:07.195
And we could look at stephen, which is a direct parallel.
00:12:07.195 --> 00:12:10.198
The death of stephen was a tragedy and to the point
00:12:10.198 --> 00:12:13.267
We even read that godly men mourned over him, you know.
00:12:13.267 --> 00:12:17.271
So it was it was a tragedy for the church.
00:12:17.271 --> 00:12:19.774
Yet the gospel went out with greater power
00:12:19.774 --> 00:12:23.477
After the death of stephen,
00:12:23.477 --> 00:12:25.012
Because the church finally got the memo.
00:12:25.012 --> 00:12:26.948
Oh, yeah.
00:12:26.948 --> 00:12:27.548
We're not supposed
00:12:27.548 --> 00:12:28.583
To hang around in jerusalem in a holy huddle.
00:12:28.583 --> 00:12:31.285
We're supposed to spread
00:12:31.285 --> 00:12:32.420
Across the world and preach the gospel.
00:12:32.420 --> 00:12:34.622
And that's what happened after stephen's death.
00:12:34.622 --> 00:12:37.325
So we can see a horrible tragedy that god is using.
00:12:37.325 --> 00:12:40.928
Not long before charlie was killed,
00:12:40.928 --> 00:12:43.931
He was asked, what is your favorite bible passage?
00:12:43.931 --> 00:12:46.868
And you remember it's romans 828.
00:12:46.868 --> 00:12:49.003
God cannot
00:12:49.003 --> 00:12:49.837
Can cause all things to work together
00:12:49.837 --> 00:12:51.639
For good to those that love god.
00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:53.608
And as joseph said to his brothers who betrayed him,
00:12:53.608 --> 00:12:56.744
You meant for evil, but god meant it for good.
00:12:56.744 --> 00:12:59.013
So we see god working despite the tragedy.
00:12:59.013 --> 00:13:02.717
And i like to make that distinction.
00:13:02.717 --> 00:13:04.151
Despite the tragedy and do it.
00:13:04.151 --> 00:13:06.721
And i'm thinking, if i'm charlie in heaven,
00:13:06.721 --> 00:13:09.290
I would rejoice
00:13:09.290 --> 00:13:11.058
Knowing that this was happening after i was called home
00:13:11.058 --> 00:13:13.928
To glory.
00:13:13.928 --> 00:13:14.896
You know, and and so i think that's probably
00:13:14.896 --> 00:13:17.865
The greatest tribute that, that, you know, this is a man
00:13:17.865 --> 00:13:21.302
That lived a godly life,
00:13:21.302 --> 00:13:22.536
A life of integrity, a life of passion,
00:13:22.536 --> 00:13:25.406
A life of purpose,
00:13:25.406 --> 00:13:27.074
And and a lot of people who never even heard his name
00:13:27.074 --> 00:13:29.810
Before are now going, who is this guy?
00:13:29.810 --> 00:13:31.979
And what did he actually believe?
00:13:31.979 --> 00:13:33.347
And they're not believing the caricature
00:13:33.347 --> 00:13:35.383
Of charlie presented by people that hate him
00:13:35.383 --> 00:13:37.985
And hate what he stands for.
00:13:37.985 --> 00:13:39.453
But they're
00:13:39.453 --> 00:13:40.354
Checking out his own videos and seeing
00:13:40.354 --> 00:13:42.156
He was actually very civil, very patient.
00:13:42.156 --> 00:13:44.692
People would insult him to his face
00:13:44.692 --> 00:13:46.894
And he would just listen,
00:13:46.894 --> 00:13:48.396
And then he would patiently respond.
00:13:48.396 --> 00:13:51.399
And, you know, so they're seen what
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:52.800
This guy really stood for.
00:13:52.800 --> 00:13:54.602
And so i think that we are seeing revival,
00:13:54.602 --> 00:13:58.005
Like things happen right now.
00:13:58.005 --> 00:14:00.207
And there's no question that charlie's death
00:14:00.207 --> 00:14:03.577
Has had an effect on this.
00:14:03.577 --> 00:14:06.047
There's a lot of blessings right now.
00:14:06.047 --> 00:14:08.849
There's a lot of, momentum.
00:14:08.849 --> 00:14:11.085
But then you see these distractions
00:14:11.085 --> 00:14:13.220
And you see, you know, people, all they want to talk about is
00:14:13.220 --> 00:14:16.524
They want to talk about israel.
00:14:16.524 --> 00:14:17.625
They want to talk about foreign policy.
00:14:17.625 --> 00:14:19.226
There's this infighting
00:14:19.226 --> 00:14:20.428
That you're seeing within the within the church,
00:14:20.428 --> 00:14:23.464
Within the conservative movement.
00:14:23.464 --> 00:14:24.665
And, you know, i couldn't help but think about that
00:14:24.665 --> 00:14:26.200
As the results were coming in last night.
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:27.969
Is that man, if we could focus some of this energy.
00:14:27.969 --> 00:14:30.004
Yeah.
00:14:30.004 --> 00:14:30.671
On winning elections or,
00:14:30.671 --> 00:14:33.507
You know, building unity as opposed to division.
00:14:33.507 --> 00:14:36.344
So, lucas, you are at in some ways
00:14:36.344 --> 00:14:39.013
At the tip of the spear when it on
00:14:39.013 --> 00:14:40.781
Some of this church based stuff.
00:14:40.781 --> 00:14:43.517
Right.
00:14:43.517 --> 00:14:44.085
And there are factions,
00:14:44.085 --> 00:14:44.885
There are people that that want,
00:14:44.885 --> 00:14:46.754
You know, this group
00:14:46.754 --> 00:14:47.655
To say this in this group to proclaim
00:14:47.655 --> 00:14:49.790
This and draw a line in the sand and this.
00:14:49.790 --> 00:14:51.192
How are you navigating this?
00:14:51.192 --> 00:14:52.960
Because there's there's just a lot of infighting.
00:14:53.961 --> 00:14:55.496
You know, anytime you work with pastors across different
00:14:55.496 --> 00:14:57.732
Denominations, you have certain hot button issues
00:14:57.732 --> 00:15:01.302
That make unity difficult. okay.
00:15:01.302 --> 00:15:04.138
I shared with my staff, we all got together
00:15:04.138 --> 00:15:06.974
At the night of the memorial.
00:15:06.974 --> 00:15:08.009
Afterwards, we got together for a dinner
00:15:08.009 --> 00:15:09.710
And just fellowship together
00:15:09.710 --> 00:15:10.878
And just kind of cried and prayed together.
00:15:10.878 --> 00:15:12.747
And i told them,
00:15:12.747 --> 00:15:13.948
I said, this moment of unity that we're seeing right now,
00:15:13.948 --> 00:15:16.317
I want to prepare you for the enemy does not want
00:15:16.317 --> 00:15:19.720
To see this continue.
00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:20.888
And there's a potential for,
00:15:20.888 --> 00:15:22.523
You know,
00:15:22.523 --> 00:15:23.657
The next phase is going to be factions and division
00:15:23.657 --> 00:15:25.593
And everything else that can potentially get
00:15:25.593 --> 00:15:27.128
The enemies, the enemies predictable.
00:15:27.128 --> 00:15:28.963
We're not unaware of his schemes in that way.
00:15:28.963 --> 00:15:31.098
And so we're seeing this, you know, the issue of israel
00:15:31.098 --> 00:15:33.134
Is obviously one of those you have
00:15:33.134 --> 00:15:34.602
You know, there's other things like,
00:15:34.602 --> 00:15:36.203
You know, views of spiritual gifts and,
00:15:36.203 --> 00:15:38.272
You know, once saved, always say
00:15:38.272 --> 00:15:39.874
Calvinism versus arminian ism.
00:15:39.874 --> 00:15:41.375
You know, we could look at those things.
00:15:41.375 --> 00:15:42.843
But i think this issue of
00:15:42.843 --> 00:15:43.844
Israel has become a very big dividing point,
00:15:43.844 --> 00:15:46.714
You know, for people right now.
00:15:46.714 --> 00:15:48.249
And unfortunately,
00:15:48.249 --> 00:15:49.216
The conversation is being driven
00:15:49.216 --> 00:15:51.118
Really by people that aren't very theological.
00:15:51.118 --> 00:15:53.387
They don't have a doctrinal approach to this.
00:15:53.387 --> 00:15:56.057
They see this is there's only 1 or 2 options.
00:15:56.057 --> 00:15:58.392
You're either, you know,
00:15:58.392 --> 00:15:59.627
Taking money from israel and you're bought and paid for,
00:15:59.627 --> 00:16:03.297
And that's why
00:16:03.297 --> 00:16:04.331
Your dispensation analysts or your replacement
00:16:04.331 --> 00:16:06.600
Theology and israel doesn't matter at all.
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:08.669
And there's nothing
00:16:08.669 --> 00:16:09.503
That from a theological standpoint,
00:16:09.503 --> 00:16:11.338
There's actually a wide spectrum.
00:16:11.338 --> 00:16:13.007
You have,
00:16:13.007 --> 00:16:14.008
You know, radical dispensation is on one side,
00:16:14.008 --> 00:16:16.243
And you have replacement theology on the other side.
00:16:16.243 --> 00:16:18.312
And, and, you know, across the spectrum
00:16:18.312 --> 00:16:20.514
From a christian vantage point, all of those views
00:16:20.514 --> 00:16:23.317
Would actually have support for israel.
00:16:23.317 --> 00:16:25.086
They would actually have, you know, a positive view.
00:16:25.086 --> 00:16:28.022
I'm so glad you're saying this.
00:16:28.022 --> 00:16:29.356
And i don't mean to cut you off.
00:16:29.356 --> 00:16:30.524
And so i'm sorry, lucas, but this idea
00:16:30.524 --> 00:16:33.260
That you're either for or against the nation of.
00:16:33.260 --> 00:16:36.397
I'm like,
00:16:36.397 --> 00:16:37.498
Do you have any idea how off putting that binary is?
00:16:37.498 --> 00:16:40.267
And that the people on both ends of the spectrum
00:16:40.267 --> 00:16:42.403
That are pushing you to accept one or the other?
00:16:42.403 --> 00:16:44.305
And i'm like, there's about 100 iterations
00:16:44.305 --> 00:16:46.040
Between 100%, you know, it's like,
00:16:46.040 --> 00:16:48.375
And so i just i think the whole discourse
00:16:48.375 --> 00:16:50.444
Has been, really tainted and corrupted
00:16:50.444 --> 00:16:53.180
And it's not productive, actually.
00:16:53.180 --> 00:16:55.683
Yeah.
00:16:55.683 --> 00:16:56.550
The question is obviously, you know,
00:16:56.550 --> 00:16:57.651
Defining israel is is a thing we have to do,
00:16:57.651 --> 00:17:00.554
Recognizing their purpose and place in history,
00:17:00.554 --> 00:17:03.257
All these sorts of things.
00:17:03.257 --> 00:17:04.492
And theologically, we have answers for that
00:17:04.492 --> 00:17:06.360
Throughout this spectrum.
00:17:06.360 --> 00:17:07.595
And and so when we say,
00:17:07.595 --> 00:17:08.963
You know, the idea of what's god's view of israel,
00:17:08.963 --> 00:17:11.232
The unifying view is this, you know,
00:17:11.232 --> 00:17:13.534
Because we're not going to get dispensationalism
00:17:13.534 --> 00:17:15.870
Theology guys who agree on everything theologically.
00:17:15.870 --> 00:17:18.572
But what we can't agree with is god loves people.
00:17:18.572 --> 00:17:21.242
He he's faithful.
00:17:21.242 --> 00:17:22.543
He wants to see promises fulfilled,
00:17:22.543 --> 00:17:24.912
And he wants to win over people for the sake of the gospel.
00:17:24.912 --> 00:17:28.782
And when you start with that framework
00:17:28.782 --> 00:17:30.484
And then start building from there,
00:17:30.484 --> 00:17:32.353
These things start making a lot more sense
00:17:32.353 --> 00:17:34.021
As you navigate through it.
00:17:34.021 --> 00:17:39.059
Where are the tears or
00:17:39.527 --> 00:17:41.762
From the pain of the life that she lived?
00:17:41.762 --> 00:17:44.732
She's a survivor of auschwitz.
00:17:45.332 --> 00:17:48.736
The years that they would just beat her
00:17:48.736 --> 00:17:51.105
Ears, that she didn't have food and felt hungry.
00:17:51.105 --> 00:17:54.775
And our answer is love.
00:17:55.276 --> 00:17:58.946
With a gift of only $25.
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:01.749
You'll deliver a life
00:18:01.749 --> 00:18:02.917
Saving food box into the hands of an elderly jew in need
00:18:02.917 --> 00:18:07.421
Of a in you saying people have a heart.
00:18:07.421 --> 00:18:10.658
There are good people today.

Fellowship of christians

And jews will rush your food box today.
00:18:17.631 --> 00:18:20.401
Love you. this is a holy moment.
00:18:20.401 --> 00:18:23.270
What you're doing is not simply being kind.
00:18:23.270 --> 00:18:26.674
You are prophetically stepping into the scriptures
00:18:26.674 --> 00:18:30.511
And being part of their redemption and our own.
00:18:30.511 --> 00:18:33.981

Please call, scan or go online now.
00:18:37.020 --> 00:18:43.659
There's a lot of young people that are very skeptical
00:18:44.727 --> 00:18:47.763
About our foreign policy when it comes to israel.
00:18:47.763 --> 00:18:50.199
Right.
00:18:50.199 --> 00:18:50.833
And so we understand that
00:18:50.833 --> 00:18:52.001
Theology can end up playing a role in foreign policy.
00:18:52.001 --> 00:18:54.971
And, and there's an i'm just trying to be ecumenical here.
00:18:54.971 --> 00:18:58.641
Right.
00:18:58.841 --> 00:18:59.842
So we've got 8000 churches in our movement.
00:18:59.842 --> 00:19:02.245
There's there's a lot of people,
00:19:02.245 --> 00:19:03.813
Probably 1000 views of, of israel, probably.
00:19:03.813 --> 00:19:06.515
Exactly.
00:19:06.515 --> 00:19:07.650
So, so how do we in this moment where this has become
00:19:07.650 --> 00:19:11.020
Such a flashpoint, by the way, our voters are telling us
00:19:11.020 --> 00:19:15.057
They're screaming at us
00:19:15.057 --> 00:19:16.792
That they want to focus on the economy,
00:19:16.792 --> 00:19:18.261
That they want to focus on affordability of housing.
00:19:18.261 --> 00:19:20.062
They're sick of talking about foreign policy.
00:19:20.062 --> 00:19:22.231
They're sick of us seemingly focusing on it.
00:19:22.231 --> 00:19:24.700
Now, i think there's arguments that you need to bring,
00:19:24.700 --> 00:19:27.737
You need to bring peace abroad so that you can sort of
00:19:27.737 --> 00:19:31.841
Have a you can focus on domestic issues
00:19:31.841 --> 00:19:35.378
And domestic tranquility.
00:19:35.378 --> 00:19:36.646
That's, jd vance
00:19:36.646 --> 00:19:37.913
Actually tweeted out something like that.
00:19:37.913 --> 00:19:39.181
Hey, we do need peace abroad so that we can really focus on.
00:19:39.181 --> 00:19:42.551
Okay, so whatever.
00:19:42.551 --> 00:19:43.719
So we got three years left in the in the in the trump,
00:19:43.719 --> 00:19:47.657
Trump 2.0 administration.
00:19:47.657 --> 00:19:50.526
We got to focus on domestic issues.
00:19:50.526 --> 00:19:51.927
But this is this issue is not going away.
00:19:51.927 --> 00:19:53.829
So how within the church circles, within faith
00:19:53.829 --> 00:19:56.299
Circles do we bring
00:19:56.299 --> 00:19:58.367
What should
00:19:58.701 --> 00:19:59.869
Our heart posture be towards our brothers in the church
00:19:59.869 --> 00:20:03.105
That have different, differing opinions about israel?
00:20:03.105 --> 00:20:06.575
Well, there's room for disagreement on this,
00:20:06.575 --> 00:20:09.178
And i have plenty of friends
00:20:09.178 --> 00:20:10.446
That don't see things the way that i see them.
00:20:10.446 --> 00:20:12.915
But i do believe, you know, the next event in the prophetic
00:20:12.915 --> 00:20:15.484
Calendar is what is called the rapture.
00:20:15.484 --> 00:20:17.520
The church will be caught up to meet the lord in the air.
00:20:17.520 --> 00:20:19.955
I think an antichrist figure is going to come.
00:20:19.955 --> 00:20:22.091
The tribulation
00:20:22.091 --> 00:20:23.225
Period is going to happen, i believe then the second
00:20:23.225 --> 00:20:25.594
Coming takes place and so forth.
00:20:25.594 --> 00:20:27.430
But but i think
00:20:27.430 --> 00:20:28.497
Israel is a fulfillment of what ezekiel prophesied
00:20:28.497 --> 00:20:32.368
Of the people returning to their homeland.
00:20:32.368 --> 00:20:34.804
And it happened on the heels of the holocaust, however.
00:20:34.804 --> 00:20:37.740
Okay, so maybe you would say, oh, well,
00:20:37.740 --> 00:20:40.476
I don't see that in the quite that way. okay, fine.
00:20:40.476 --> 00:20:43.079
But but there's no room for anti-semitism, okay.
00:20:43.079 --> 00:20:46.515
And that is what is growing, you know, right now,
00:20:46.515 --> 00:20:49.952
It's going from everywhere, from ivy league universities to
00:20:49.952 --> 00:20:53.956
The world of podcasting.
00:20:53.956 --> 00:20:55.291
We're hearing about it more and more,
00:20:55.291 --> 00:20:57.026
And i hear people addressing theological issues
00:20:57.026 --> 00:20:59.528
Who don't seem to understand.
00:20:59.528 --> 00:21:01.063
To your point, lucas,
00:21:01.063 --> 00:21:02.365
What the bible actually says about these.
00:21:02.365 --> 00:21:04.233
However, there's room for difference in that.
00:21:04.233 --> 00:21:07.436
But, certainly that's the only democracy in the middle east.
00:21:07.436 --> 00:21:12.007
And we want to and i do believe the promise of god
00:21:12.007 --> 00:21:15.644
That says, god will bless those that bless you and curse
00:21:15.644 --> 00:21:18.981
Those that curse you.
00:21:18.981 --> 00:21:20.049
I believe one of the reasons the lord has blessed
00:21:20.049 --> 00:21:21.650
America is because we have stood by the jewish people
00:21:21.650 --> 00:21:25.688
And the nation, israel.
00:21:25.688 --> 00:21:27.323
And and president truman was we were the first
00:21:27.323 --> 00:21:30.926
To come out and say, we
00:21:30.926 --> 00:21:32.294
We stand by this new nation that is now declared itself.
00:21:32.294 --> 00:21:36.165
But but, you know, yes, in the church
00:21:36.165 --> 00:21:38.033
We have to find we can disagree agreeably.
00:21:38.033 --> 00:21:40.836
What does that saying, lucas?
00:21:40.836 --> 00:21:42.004
You would though, it in in essentials.
00:21:42.004 --> 00:21:45.908
Unity in non-essentials.
00:21:45.908 --> 00:21:48.811
Charity, charity.
00:21:48.811 --> 00:21:50.246
No non-essentials.
00:21:50.246 --> 00:21:52.148
There's another word and all things charity.
00:21:52.148 --> 00:21:53.949
Yes. yeah. the non-essentials.
00:21:53.949 --> 00:21:56.452
Liberty. liberty.
00:21:56.452 --> 00:21:57.453
Yeah. it's so.
00:21:57.453 --> 00:21:58.387
Okay, so let's call this a nonessential.
00:21:58.387 --> 00:22:01.157
Let's see. it's the have liberty here.
00:22:01.157 --> 00:22:02.792
We can disagree, but not for antisemitism.
00:22:02.792 --> 00:22:05.961
But maybe you have differing views on
00:22:05.961 --> 00:22:07.563
How much support we should send to the state of israel.
00:22:07.563 --> 00:22:10.366
Okay, we can talk about that.
00:22:10.366 --> 00:22:11.801
But but we still understand
00:22:11.801 --> 00:22:13.669
Everything we have is come to us
00:22:13.669 --> 00:22:15.604
Through the jewish people, including our bible.
00:22:15.604 --> 00:22:18.073
And god has established a covenant with them.
00:22:18.073 --> 00:22:20.309
However, we don't want that to divide over those things.
00:22:20.309 --> 00:22:23.746
Well, i mean, i get how people conclude different things on.
00:22:23.746 --> 00:22:27.550
There's a lot i'm saying there's a lot there.
00:22:27.550 --> 00:22:29.385
And i understand how people of good faith
00:22:29.385 --> 00:22:31.120
Come to different conclusions.
00:22:31.120 --> 00:22:32.121
But where i totally 1,000% agree with you on
00:22:32.121 --> 00:22:35.658
This is that there is no place for jew hate.
00:22:35.658 --> 00:22:39.862
And charlie was adamant about this there.
00:22:39.862 --> 00:22:42.565
And you can feel it on people.
00:22:42.565 --> 00:22:44.033
You can feel it in the way they they frame their arguments.
00:22:44.033 --> 00:22:46.869
And so i,
00:22:46.869 --> 00:22:47.503
I totally agree with that.
00:22:47.503 --> 00:22:48.604
And, i think we need to
00:22:48.604 --> 00:22:50.439
We need to have unity on on that.
00:22:50.439 --> 00:22:52.508
And i think, you know, we have to remember that
00:22:52.508 --> 00:22:54.510
Our savior is a is a semite.
00:22:54.510 --> 00:22:56.345
You know, it's like, you know, he's a jewish person.
00:22:56.345 --> 00:22:58.481
So, i think that's a good place to end it.
00:22:58.481 --> 00:23:00.816
Pastor greg laurie,
00:23:00.816 --> 00:23:02.017
Thank you for your wisdom and just your your consistency,
00:23:02.017 --> 00:23:05.254
Your steadiness, your focus on bringing people to a saving,
00:23:05.254 --> 00:23:08.757
Faith in jesus christ.
00:23:09.225 --> 00:23:10.693
And in california, you're, you're holding it down.
00:23:10.693 --> 00:23:13.095
So, thank you so much for joining us.
00:23:13.095 --> 00:23:15.097
And, lucas, thank you for, making it happen. so good.
00:23:15.097 --> 00:23:17.700
Thank you. andrew.
00:23:17.700 --> 00:23:18.267
All right.
00:23:18.267 --> 00:23:18.667
God bless you.
00:23:18.667 --> 00:23:22.471
We truly are living in a historic time.
00:23:19.068 --> 00:23:25.307
After 738 days, the 20 living israeli hostages
00:23:25.307 --> 00:23:29.478
Have been released from captivity
00:23:29.478 --> 00:23:31.747
And those who were killed will finally rest in peace near
00:23:31.747 --> 00:23:34.149
Their loved ones. praise god!
00:23:34.149 --> 00:23:35.918
In this time of celebration, our good friends
00:23:35.918 --> 00:23:38.120
At the international fellowship of christians and jews
00:23:38.120 --> 00:23:40.923
Send their deepest gratitude for your prayers
00:23:40.923 --> 00:23:43.225
And unwavering support.
00:23:43.225 --> 00:23:44.493
Thanks to you, the fellowship has provided
00:23:44.493 --> 00:23:46.595
$300 million in emergency aid since october 7th,
00:23:46.595 --> 00:23:50.599
Including millions in direct support for the hostages
00:23:50.599 --> 00:23:53.569
And their families.
00:23:53.569 --> 00:23:54.670
Of course, the road ahead is still a long one.
00:23:54.670 --> 00:23:57.373
Much needs to be done to restore
00:23:57.373 --> 00:23:59.074
And revive these victims of terrorism.
00:23:59.074 --> 00:24:01.343
But that's exactly what the fellowship does.
00:24:01.343 --> 00:24:03.412
For example,
00:24:03.412 --> 00:24:04.280
They're assisting returned hostages,
00:24:04.280 --> 00:24:06.215
Along with their families and friends, with immediate
00:24:06.215 --> 00:24:08.918
Medical, psychological and financial support.
00:24:08.918 --> 00:24:11.620
They're also providing
00:24:11.620 --> 00:24:12.621
Mental health care for israelis of all ages.
00:24:12.621 --> 00:24:15.424
