Televangelist Kenneth Copeland's Victory Channel held a special broadcast of its weekly "Flashpoint" program Thursday night on the campus of Oral Roberts University in Oklahoma, where the Christian nationalist host and speakers railed against the outcome of the 2020 presidential election and spread the Big Lie that it had been stolen from former President Donald Trump.
Host Gene Bailey opened by acknowledging the various elected officials who were in attendance, such as Rep. Kevin Hern of Oklahoma, Oklahoma Attorney General John O'Connor, multiple state senators and representatives, as well as various members of law enforcement and local elected leaders. Following the introductions, Bailey led the audience in praying that these leaders "cannot escape" God: "No matter what they do, they're gonna run right into you."
Bailey then began the program by declaring that "there's one thing that I know for sure, and this is the raw truth: The raw truth was on Nov. 3, 2020, President Donald J. Trump won the election."
"We're still waiting on the election to be corrected, and we're not going anywhere," Bailey added. "That election was rigged. It was stolen. But I got news for you, and I got news for you watching on television: There's thousands of people in this room that say, 'We're taking our nation back!'"
"There is an agenda that's not Democrat versus Republican," Bailey proclaimed. "The agenda that's in our nation right now is good versus evil—and I'm not calling any party evil although you can figure out probably where I'm coming from. ... If you're not willing to give up your nation to a woke agenda that's not left, it's liberal—it's so far liberal, it's out to destroy the very fabric of this nation, rip your children away from your families. ... They want to educate your children. They want to take your kids from you. They don't want you to do anything that resembles Christianity or stand up for what's right or stand up for what's truth."
After leading the audience in a round of cheers and applause for Trump, Bailey was joined on stage by self-proclaimed "prophet" Hank Kunneman, who declared that President Joe Biden belongs in prison for treason.
"The thief is being found," Kunneman said. "They're being exposed by the hand of God."
"There is a payback coming," he bellowed. "They're talking about Biden's poll numbers, what they really need to be talking about is cell numbers—not phone, prison cell numbers. These guys have committed a crime! They have committed treason against the United States of America and its Constitution. They did not care about you, your pocketbook, or your children, and they want everything inside of their demonic agenda to bring you down and this nation. But I'm here to tell you that they are standing against something greater than all of us: It is Almighty God who loves the United States of America, and he loves his church, and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it."
