My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country, fighting for the future of our republic.
My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start a Turning Point USA college chapter. Go start a Turning Point USA high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade. Most important decision I ever made in my life, and I encourage you to do the same. Here I am. Lord, use me.
Buckle up, everybody.

We'll do some questions with the time I have remaining. So thank you.
SPEAKER_2 (1:29)
So with questions, you can line up right in the middle row right here.
Charlie Kirk (1:33)
I definitely want to hear from some teachers or educators. So, anybody have a question? Let's stop and step on up.
SPEAKER_3 (1:42)
Yeah.
Thank you. Good evening. I just came from a conference where, in my method of teaching, we got the change the American flag for the rainbow flag, right? My question to you is, as a Christian person, someone said, good, do you come in there and then? Do you wait? What will be the answer for that? What do we do when we see things going on wrong? Do we just make it pass? So, that's my question.
Charlie Kirk (2:06)
So, you went to a conference and they replaced the American flag with the rainbow flag?
SPEAKER_3 (2:10)
Yeah.
Charlie Kirk (2:11)
Okay.
Can I ask where you teach? Is that?
SPEAKER_3 (2:14)
Look, I'm a Montessori teacher. I think it's a beautiful system, but it's overtaken, I think, by the wrong mentality.
Charlie Kirk (2:20)
Yeah. Okay. So, I can't quite, I'm going to stop short of giving you specific advice because I probably want you to still have a job, right? So, but I would prayerfully consider how to navigate that. I mean, they're not going to stop, right? I get in trouble for saying this, but from people I don't respect, so I'm going to say it because I respect all of you. There is an all-out agenda to groom kids in an LGBT agenda. These people are groomers, okay? And they don't like it when you say that, but why on earth do you need a flag that celebrates people's sexual activity to children? That's what it is, period. I don't think that will go over very well if you say that, but I'm just giving you my honest thought. Let me tell you something more broadly as a Christian thing, right? I love the Old Testament. As you may or could tell, I spent a lot of time in Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. I think it's... thank you. It's really forgotten. Jesus loved the Old Testament too, regardless of what your skinny G pastor might tell you.
Jesus quoted Deuteronomy more than any other book. So did the Founding Fathers. They had that in common.
Someone said the Talmud?
SPEAKER_4 (3:33)
He quoted Psalms more than any other book.
Charlie Kirk (3:35)
Oh, Psalms more than Deuteronomy? Okay. Well, I gotta correct John MacArthur then.
So then the Torah, the first five books of Moses, were written as a refutation of paganism. It's at war with paganism. We're living through outright paganism right now. There is no, so I used the word secular, and I have to stop using that word, because it's actually not true. There is no such thing as a secular society. You're going to have some form of belief.
So you might not have Christian belief, but when you study Leviticus 1, 2, and 3, and they have all these like very complex rituals, you're like, oh, that doesn't apply to us, right? Like how you kill an animal, and then all of a sudden you read all the rules of the woke, and you're like, they just take Biblical practices and re-appropriate it through whatever new lens. Human beings, as we are made by God, need attachment to something. We need symbols, we need flags, we need songs, we need something that we could say that we're part of. And the LGBTQ mafia, they take that flag and it has a religious attachment to it for some people. And, I mean, I say this, and I love saying it, pride is a sin, and why we have a whole monk dedicated to a sin is very strange to me, and doesn't make any sense. Well, it does if you study it. But that there, whether it be the earth worship or the religion of tolerance, these are all just repurposed old river civilization pagan beliefs that is nothing new.
