What Makes Trump a Christian Leader?

Hey everybody I'm Chris cross in the country I just... What we've done is incredible here. Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses. I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House folks. I want to thank Charlie he's an incredible guy, his spirit, his love of this country.

He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. We are here. Same stage. That was at our event. That was not too far from here. We're in an undisclosed location.

But we are in Glendale, Arizona which is of course why I'm wearing the shirt. It's amazing. I mean it's the first Kennedy ever to endorse a Republican. Bobby Kennedy who ran for the presidency as a Democrat. Now endorsing Donald Trump. It's so profound that if we had an honest media this would be the biggest story for like a month or two.

I think it is and I think they're doing their best to make it seem like it's not because you could hear the electricity coming from the crowd. It's truly and also I've already had conversations with people that are like okay cool like I do like what Robert Kennedy brings to the table. So this is a huge win for Trump because there's a lot of people that believe the fake news and they believe what they've made him out to be. The gospel talks about this.

If they don't assassinate you they assassinate your character and I think this did help Trump in a way where they are not. In a way where people like us that actually care about you know the ground and the sky and everything that's going along with it and we don't believe in the fake news. It's good to have that reassurance that his heart is in the right place. So I want to jump into that.

How is it that we're going to make America healthy again? That's a great thing to say. I'm far from an expert on this. I encourage people to dive super deep into it. I mean I've read probably 30 or 40 books on it and I live it but it goes a lot deeper than this and that book Good Energy by Kelly and Casey Means has really gone viral. It's the number one book in America and what they are able to pinpoint in that book amongst the other community of literature is that we have a chronic disease epidemic in this country that is far bigger than like systemic racism or climate change or all the other stuff that they have us worry about. And Bobby Kennedy to his credit has been pinpointed on this like a heat seeking missile for the last couple decades.

And it ruined his reputation. Yeah so there's two types of illness. There's acute and chronic. So in America we have the best acute care on the planet. So if you have a heart attack a gunshot wound or a broken leg we can treat you really well really quickly and efficiently and humanely and no one doubts that. In fact we're the envy of the world when it comes to acute care.

We are one of the worst in not just the Western world but in all countries on chronic care. That is autoimmune issues Lyme disease ulcerative colitis colitis celiac disease where your body is attacking itself and it's more than just a pill. It is a lifestyle issue mostly basically to metabolic dysfunction.

Right. So your body is not optimizing correctly and those are byproducts of usually either environmental contaminants or pollutants and or what you are putting in your body such as diet lifestyle sleep drugs alcohol. So what Bobby Kennedy argues is that we are actively poisoning our children actively poisoning the country from the food that we give our kids from the lifestyle that we elevate and that we do not emphasize enough. And finally and most importantly is that our kids are not given a fair shot to be able to succeed if by the time they're 15 they're overweight or obese. So in Japan is an amazing study 3% of Japanese youth are overweight or obese by the age of 15 50% of American youth are overweight or obese by the age of 15 something is profoundly wrong with how we are feeding our kids and what we're telling them to do. And it can be as simple as the way we do our farming the pesticides that we put on our on our fruits and vegetables but also if you just look at a typical Lunchables box and what we give our kids in cereal we are putting things that have been proven in peer reviewed studies that do not pass the litmus test in Canada in Germany in Europe they do not allow their kids to eat this stuff. We are actively poisoning our kids so we can start with ending regulatory capture and then saying we just want the same food guidelines as Canada.

We want the same food guidelines as Japan, I can go deeper if you guys want. No, I do. I think this is actually one of the biggest issues facing humanity. I want to stay to this because this actually follows up my next question and ties, both of these together 51% of people with faith do not vote.

And so I sat there thinking about that after you said that to me. And what I came to the conclusion is this, usually people that have a lot of faith depend on God. And when we're looking at a world where we grew up, where our government says we love you were taking care of you and then we grow up and realize that they're shaking hands with these people making money, so that they could farm us so they could disease us so they could cure us.

Why then what I go into the voting booth because now I'm just looking at this man slapping me in the face and handing me cake. Yeah, so I mean from a Christian perspective, you have a biblical obligation to care about your neighbor, and one of the ways you care about your neighbor is the type of society you live in. And so making sure that we don't have gulags concentration camps or eugenics is one way that you can care about your neighbor, we are commanded in Leviticus 19, one of the two things that Jesus said all the laws of the Prophet hang upon. Secondly, all throughout the scriptures, we have examples of people contesting for the welfare of the nation that they are in Jeremiah 20 and 29 seven demand the welfare of the nation that you are in because your welfare is tied to your nation's welfare.

Daniel prayed and fasted for his nation in fact he was imprisoned for defying a government order that he did not like Esther Mordecai Nehemiah Jeremiah they were all political figures Moses that cared about the well being and the type of government that was formed. So we as Christians should have need and concern for the form and the structure of the government that is constituted around us now we happen to please. Yeah, amen. And I agree with everything you just said but it still faith people base things off of faith.

So when they're looking at somebody smiling at them and giving them the news. It's hard for me to put away the knowledge that I have now it's like, yeah, we are in a bad place right now but our president before that promised us that they were taking care of us they put us in the situation. So how do we get people to believe that Donald Trump RFK are not wolves in sheep's clothing.

Well, a couple things. First of all, your ultimate trust should be in Jesus Christ. Right. And so that he is on the throne Donald Trump is not I'm not trying to put Donald Trump on a throne. I'm trying to put him in a temporary four year position where I think he can assemble the best team to advance the biblical worldview that we care about. I will say that when Donald Trump was president he did so many good things and some things I think he could have done better at, but three things that I think fulfill the biblical mandate of what we should care about. Blessed are the peacemakers, fighting for those who can't fight for themselves, such as children and the unborn and finally sovereignty or borders, which is a biblical idea. So let's take one of those at a time. And these are not speculation. He delivered on these three things that every Christian should care about. Number one, blessed are the peacemakers.

I'm 31 years old now. For the last 32 years, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden, there's only been four years where there's been no new wars. And that was Donald Trump. We had peace in the Middle East and the Abraham Accords of Donald Trump brokering peace between Israel, the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Anyone who knows anything about the region, that's a remarkable accomplishment to get those kind of actors together. Putin did not invade Ukraine when Donald Trump was president. Trump was the peace president. We had less civilians dying, less refugees, less war related casualties than any time in the last 32 years.

The only four years that was not the case. Bill Clinton mercilessly bombed the Balkan Peninsula in Serbia and Bosnia. We obviously know Bush invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama started coup d'etats in Libya and Syria and Arab Spring. Peace for Trump. And then under Biden, we had Israel, you know, Palestinian conflict and of course, Russia and Ukraine. So that's number one as Christians. We should care about peace, not war.

Number two. Can I say something about that? Sorry, I don't mean to like cut you off. No, that's okay.

I'm trying to learn. So in the gospel, you're bringing up peacemakers, right? That's better than peacekeepers. That's legitimately I'm going out to seek peace. What is Donald going to do and what does he promise to get us away from World War Three?

Yeah, exactly. So you must first come from the intent, which Trump has, and he's well on the record, that war is not something to flippantly throw around as a cheap negotiating tactic or bargaining chip. War is the worst thing we can do. And I feel as if Liz Cheney, Dick Cheney, John Bolton, Leon Panetta, the people that Kamala Harris has now surrounded herself with, that were the architects and the authors of the Iraq War. They're very flippant about war. They don't seem to be concerned about the suffering, the death, the casualty, the spending, the PTSD, the veterans issues. I mean, war is the worst thing that human beings can do.

It's the worst expression. People make money off of it. They make a lot of money off of it. And I think it's even deeper than that.

I think it's a death cult. So how do we do? How do we? So blessed are the peacemakers. Donald Trump will then, before he is president, because Zelensky is already coming to the table, he'll put Putin at the table and Zelensky at the table, and he'll say, you're not going to get everything you want. You're not going to get anything you want. This ends right now. Mr. Putin, you probably get a portion of eastern Ukraine. Zelensky, stop saber rattling. You're not going to NATO.

We're not going to have a couple hundred thousand more civilians needlessly dead. This is done. This is over. America is strong enough to broker that deal today because, George, this is what's so important, is that there was a peace deal on the table that would have prevented the Russian-Ukrainian War five days into the conflict.

Your audience can fact check me on this. This was in Istanbul, Turkey. Tony Blinken and Boris Johnson went to Istanbul, Turkey, and they obliterated the peace deal that was on the table between Zelensky and Putin because they said, no, we will not try it. We will not negotiate with Vladimir Putin. Well, now we have to negotiate with him. And that was the wrong decision.

And hundreds of thousands of people needlessly died. Let's get into it. What are you worried about, man? Like, I want to learn a little bit more about the election. What are you scared that it could turn and what are things that you're hoping we could press on?

Yeah, I mean, look, I want to kind of go back to something said earlier. I'm really worried that a bunch of Christians aren't voting. I'm very concerned about that. Trump could win. Kamala could win. Look, the problem with this election is that it feels bigger than other elections in the past.

Way bigger. Because we no longer have a Democrat Party that wants the same basic things that we have always wanted, such as a secure border, a stable currency and the American dream for the next generation. So I imagine in your audience, there's some people that have made up their mind on this election.

And let me speak directly to them. Here is a fact. They are the first generation since George Washington to have it worse off than their parents. It has never happened before in American history. Every generation has had it at least as good or better than their parents. That's what we call the American dream. You come to this country, you grow up in this country, your kids are going to have a better shot at the American dream than you do. They'll be wealthier, whatever the metric is. Our generation is sicker, fatter, more depressed, more anxious, more Medicaid, harder to buy a home.

Here's one number. When Trump was president, you could buy a home with $75,000 of combined annual income a year. Now $130,000 a year. That's in four years. So homeownership is quickly getting at a grasp for the next generation. Their wages aren't going up with inflation, grocery prices are going up. And we touched on this in our original conversation, which is super simple, which is that you don't ever think this.

If you cannot walk at night in the great American cities, your leaders have failed and they should be fired. This is not complicated. I don't need a chart. I don't need a graph. I don't need data.

I don't need an economist. If you don't feel safe walking the streets of LA, Denver or Phoenix at night, somebody who is in charge has not done their job and somebody else needs to be replaced. That's not the case in Singapore. It's not the case in Tokyo. But in the Western world, we act as if it's like normal that you have to lock yourself in an apartment at 8 p.m. because the sun is going down or you need armed security or that you can only go in certain neighborhoods. It's outrageous and it's wrong and we shouldn't put up with it.

But yet to the next generation, if you want to restore and renew your access to the American dream, you've seen what Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have done harder than ever to find good paying jobs. You can't buy homes. You'll be a nation of renters. And not to mention, we have allowed 10 million new people into this country illegally without permission that are newcomers that were not invited, that have inflated the price of housing.

Let me just make this super simple argument. Why is housing becoming more expensive? Well, when you have more people, 10 million more people that are then trying to compete for a finite good, it increases the price of it. This is why sand is cheap and diamonds are expensive.

Supply and demand. There's only so much of things in the world. And so what Kamala Harris has done is she said there are no restrictions, no background checks. And let me speak to people's emotions for a second. Under her leadership on the border, in quotes, we have 320,000 missing kids in this country. We don't know where they are. You guys can fact check me on that, by the way.

That's not a Charlie Kirk statistic. That's the Department of Homeland Security. We don't know where they are. They could be sex slaves. They could be trafficked for labor.

They could be just generally missing. That's 320,000 missing kids. What kind of a society are we? We act as if that is okay. Under Trump, border crossings were an all-time low. We had a border. The Border Patrol Council just endorsed Trump. And the final, final point I'll make is this, is you're not voting for Trump. You're voting for which side is going to create a roster of 5,000 people that better fits with your worldview. Trump is just the figurehead, if you will. There are 5,000 staffing positions that need to be made of people that will determine whether or not you have a border, whether or not your wages are going to go up, how foreign policy be operated. So do you want your government to be filled with people like Anthony Fauci and Tony Blinken and Dylan Mulvaney, people like that? Or would you rather have people like Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard and Bobby Kennedy filling your government?

It's a pretty simple choice. I like that you said you're not hiring just him. You're hiring the 5,000 that he elects to go and help. Okay, but let's break that down, right?

Because people can make promises, but I want to see where that promise has potential. When I see him speaking and these children and wives and husbands are like, we need better borders. When he was in Arizona, there were people that were driving from the border.

They're like, yo, it's getting ridiculous. And he says, I will get them back out of this country and put them back to where they belong and put a good border up. That sounds fair and nice. He says that he's going to stop sending money to other countries' wars and he's going to put it back into the American pockets. That sounds nice. Now, you said that you have failed leaders. Now, I go to cities like San Francisco and it's kind of ridiculous out there. You could steal, you could loot, you could do whatever. Under 900 bucks.

Yeah, they have a sign saying under 900 bucks. Okay, so that is failed leadership. What is Donald Trump going to do to these city leaders? And does he have the power to remove them from their positioning? He does not have power to do that, but there's a lot he can do to clean up our city. So let's first start on the border.

What can he do? Well, he just needs to do everything he did for those four years. He needs to reinstate what's called the Remain in Mexico policy, which means you don't get to come into America and apply for asylum. If you are actually seeking asylum, you must fill out your application in Mexico while we do your paperwork. So what we do now is we allow you into the country. We say, oh, you have a court date in three years.

Thanks so much. See you later. And no one actually shows up for their court date. They come into the interior of the United States and they disappear forever. That's number one. Number two is we must give Border Patrol the tools that they need to prevent the flow of people at the southern border. We need to give them the resources, give them manpower, give them the ability to do the job. Number three is that we must deport the people that are violent criminals. Under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, 13000 people that have been convicted of murder have come into the interior of the United States. There are 13000 people that were convicted of murder in another country here in America right now. Just the other day, they arrested a person in Oklahoma City that came under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's open border policy from Afghanistan, who planned a terrorist attack on Election Day in Oklahoma City.

So I can go into the specifics specifics more if you want from the American major. Why are they letting that happen? Why are they letting people in? Are they trying to get their votes? Some would say that.

But let me let me give you a more innocent explanation. I think that's probably right. How can they vote if they're not a citizen? Well, they're figuring out ways.

Yeah, but maybe in the future they have kids. But let me give you a much more agreeable definition that if a liberal was sitting here, they would agree with. They view the world differently than we do. You see, they say that America is for everybody and that anybody should be able to come and that if it decreases or diminishes our standard of living. So be it because the world is one big project and borders are kind of an antiquated idea and it's a colonialist experiment.

So why shouldn't someone someone from Honduras just be able to come on up? Now, we believe that if you do not have borders, you don't have a nation and that government is constituted for service citizens, that we have a big heart. But you must first deliver for your citizens before you open your door. And that is the way families work.

That's the way homes work. And that's the way a nation should work. Liberals would say, but what's the big deal? Why can't we just bring in another hundred million people? We're a big country.

We can do we can facilitate it. We would say you'll lose your culture. You will lose your history.

You will become something completely different. And if you import the third world, you will become the third world. And so that why are they doing it's hard to pinpoint George.

But at the fundamental core, there is definitely this bleeding heart syndrome where they think America is a the best example I could give is they think America is open for looting the way that Louis Vuitton was open for looting during the George Floyd riots. It's open season. Take whatever you want. And it's very fair to say, you know, you can't take care of others if you can't take care of yourself.

You're not well enough. How can you help other people? Which makes sense for our country. And so going back to the voting point of it, because I know that in the past, you know, a lot of people have felt like, oh, is my vote even really being counted or is it being changed? So how can people this election season know that their vote is secure and it's truly being inputted?

Yeah, it's a great question. So we're running a massive get out the vote operation at Turning Point Action. We have over a thousand five hundred full time people that are working just on this project.

It's the largest in the country. So a couple of things that you can track your vote. For example, in Arizona, you can see and make sure that your vote is actually processed and counted in real time.

There's a website for it. And you can actually make sure your vote has gone through. If you guys want to vote in person, that's fine. But everybody in this audience needs to vote in general. There is no reason not to vote. And even if you have questions about how your vote is tabulated and how it's counted, not voting is a guarantee that your vote won't be counted. But voting at least gives you a potential opportunity that you can be in the game and that your vote can be counted. But voting is the absolute minimum. It's about influencing your friends to vote.

It's about activating. And look, this election cycle, it feels bigger because, look, if Kamala Harris were to win, she wants to get rid of the filibuster. She wants to add D.C. and Puerto Rico estates, abolish the Electoral College. I believe we'll get closer to World War Three.

She wants to eliminate American energy independence. She will hyper inflate the economy through trillions of dollars of mass spending. Said differently, guys, it'll be season two of what we've seen in season one here.

And season one is a horror show. Look from the Afghan withdrawal, from the invasion on the southern border, from the inflation crisis. We are seeing we are thirty six trillion dollars in debt right now. We're borrowing two trillion dollars a year. We can't afford this current trajectory that we're on.

And I'm afraid a second term or a Kamala Harris term would potentially be a death blow to the United States of America. Thanks so much for listening, everybody. Email us as always.
