0:37 This is Undaunted Life, a man's podcast. I'm your host Kyle Thompson. Let's get into it.
0:52 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven holding in his hand the key to the bottomless
0:56 pit and a great chain. And he sees the dragon that ancient serpent who is the devil in Satan
1:02 and bound him for a thousand years and threw him into the pit and shut it and sealed it over him
1:06 so that he might not deceive the nations any longer until the thousand years were ended.
1:11 That's Revelation 20 verses one through three guys. I'm feeling diabolical today
1:16 because I've been reliably informed that the world is over. I don't know if you guys knew this
1:20 but I've been informed about this and it's not just because of Roe v. Wade and we'll get to that
1:23 here in just a second before we get to all that. Guys, I want you to go ahead and leave us a five-star
1:27 rating and a positive review. We've gotten some one stars lately because of the ads and some people
1:31 don't like the way my face looks and whatever the thing is. So if you're listening to this and you
1:34 have not left us a five-star review on either Spotify or Apple Podcast or wherever you're listening
1:38 to this, we would really, really appreciate it. And also, I know I need to kind of acknowledge
1:41 something that happened earlier this week. So obviously I recorded an interview with MMA fighter
1:46 Rory McDonald who, if you're listening to this on time, will be fighting tomorrow. And I also
1:49 recorded a podcast whenever I immediately got the news about the Roe v. Wade, the leak, the leak
1:55 decision, all those different things. And just so you know, I'm going to be getting into all of
1:59 that next Thursday. Okay, so I'm going to be spending a ton of time next Thursday, breaking down all
2:03 of it, breaking down some of the reactions, you know, what would actually happen if Roe
2:06 in case he were overturned and that type of thing. But I recorded immediately after I found out the
2:11 news on Monday night and I got it out there and, you know, put it out there and it was on Apple Podcast
2:16 and Spotify and everywhere else. And something very, very strange happened. And so I don't want to
2:20 say something nefarious happened because I don't have direct evidence of that. But all of a sudden,
2:24 the podcast just disappeared when I woke up in the morning. So it was still showing up in people's
2:29 feeds, but whenever they would try to play it, it showed as a corrupted file, all those different
2:33 things. I don't really know what happened. So I had to kind of release it. So it seemed like I
2:36 released it a little bit late, but it was, you know, kind of right after I got all that. But you know,
2:40 if your podcast feed, especially on Apple Podcast was mixed up there for a second, my episodes were
2:44 out of order, it should be okay and straight in order now. So I think, you know, Rory's was 304
2:49 and then the Roe v. Wade podcast is 305. So just wanted to make sure we address that. And before we
2:53 get into today's content as well, if you have not been following on social media and if you're not
2:57 on our mailing list, first of all, you should be on our mailing list, just go to our website,
3:00 you can sign up and you can get our 100 books that every modern Christian man should read list.
3:04 But we've got new swag. We finally got it. I know you guys asked for forever and forever.
3:08 And then we did the rash guards and the T-shirts last year, but we've got a new T-shirt. It is
3:12 blue. It's got a American flag on the back. It's our freedom tee. But also we have hats. You guys
3:17 have been asking about hats for a long time. I threw it out there as a, you know, survey, you know,
3:20 which guys do you want? Do you want the classic snapback? Or do you want the trucker hat and the
3:24 trucker hat was far and away? The overwhelming majority of that. So those are both now on our
3:28 website. The shirts are just 30 bucks. The hats are 40 bucks. And you can buy them both for just 60
3:32 bucks. And this is pre-order only. Okay. So this is very, very important. We are not going to keep a
3:38 store for the foreseeable future. Just open on our website. So I think we have like three or four
3:43 of the black T-shirts left and maybe one or two of the rash guards. But it is just an overwhelming
3:48 amount of time when that's not your main thing. If your main thing is doing a clothing brand and
3:52 that's what you want to do. Yeah. Yeah. You'll do all that and you'll keep all the inventory.
3:55 But that's not really what we want to do. It's like, it's not a super profitable thing for us.
3:59 We just want to do it because you guys want to rep undaunted life. So we're only doing pre-orders.
4:03 So three or four times a year, we're going to do merch drops. And with a merch drop,
4:07 we're going to do a T-shirt and then another item. So this time we did a T-shirt and a hat.
4:12 Next time you might do, you know, a T-shirt and a hoodie or a T-shirt in like a performance hat
4:17 or another rash guard, a long sleeve rash guard or something like that, we're going to do a T-shirt
4:21 every time and then change it up depending on the season. But this is our summer drop. But again,
4:25 it's pre-order only. Pre-orders are open now, but it only runs through the 31st of May.
4:30 You will not be able to get this stuff after the 31st of May. We will not be holding any extra swag
4:35 back to sell later. There's a small, small chance we'll be able to put some of the hats for sale
4:40 on the website. But you've got the entire month of May, guys, I mean, I'm recording this on,
4:44 what is it, the third? You've got the entire month of May to get in your order. So just go to
4:49 undaunted.life/shop that will be in the show notes with www.undaunted.life/shop. If you do not
4:56 order one in the month of May, you will not get it. Now, on today's podcast, we're going to be going
5:00 over a bunch of information. We're going to be going over how the Biden administration is adding
5:03 their own ministry of truth. The Biden administration floating student loan forgiveness is what they're
5:08 calling it. The brutal murder of a 10 year old named Lily Peters by a 14 year old, also the state of
5:13 California legalizing literal infanticide and then Joe Biden informing us that our kids don't
5:18 actually belong to us. But for the main story for today, if we've learned anything in the last
5:24 couple of weeks of living in this country and living on this planet, it's that you don't mess
5:29 with the Babylon Bee. You don't mess with it because you go messing around with the Babylon Bee and
5:34 there might be a billionaire somewhere that's a big fan of the Babylon Bee that isn't going to
5:38 appreciate that very much and they're going to buy your business because that's exactly what happened
5:43 when Elon Musk, who is a favorite of the Babylon Bee and he likes the Babylon Bee and all those
5:47 different things, he bought Twitter and literally the world ended and we're going to get way more
5:52 into that. But last week, the deal that, you know, many thought would not get done, got done on April
5:56 the 25th, 2022, Twitter's board voted unanimously to accept a must bid for $44 billion to purchase the
6:03 social media company outright and he's taking it private and going to do a bunch of things with it.
6:08 Now, the thing about it is most people don't realize is he's not, he's not over there at Twitter right
6:12 now, you know, taking care of things. The deal won't actually be finalized for about another six
6:15 months or so. But it would take something otherworldly at this point to derail the deal. Like it just,
6:20 it's going to happen, but it's just going to take a little bit of time. Now, the thing was is,
6:24 if you weren't familiar with the Babylon Bee stuff, so the Babylon Bee is kind of a Christian
6:28 conservative satire site, but they do things incredibly well. Like we share more of their
6:32 stuff on our Instagram than anybody else because they constantly hit the mark, but they also hit,
6:36 you know, hit the mark with a guy like Elon Musk, he thinks it's really, really funny.
6:39 He's actually gone on their podcast before, which is really awesome. But then the Babylon Bee got
6:44 banned for naming Rachel Levine, who's, you know, one of the under secretaries with the federal
6:48 government, who's quote unquote, transgender, this is a dude that thinks he's a woman. I think they
6:52 named him the man of the year or something like that. And they were banned from Twitter. And luckily,
6:56 those guys that run the Babylon Bee and are the CEOs and run everything that's going on over there,
7:01 they said, yeah, we're not bowing to this because they said, we'll give you your account back,
7:05 but you got to delete that tweet and they're like, no, screw off. We're like, we're not deleting this
7:08 tweet. And then here we are, the Babylon Bee's reinstated and they're going to be under new
7:12 ownership before too long. But the thing about it is, it might seem like I'm a little bit late to
7:16 the party talking about this because that's all anyone could talk about last week really until
7:20 the stuff broke on Monday with the Roe v. Wade stuff on the Politico article that was released.
7:24 But this gave me a really good opportunity to kind of sit and marinate and look at what everybody
7:30 was saying on the left and on the right and the 14 people that still consider themselves in the
7:34 middle. And I already had that Q&A episode ready to go. And so it's like, okay, this is a unique
7:37 opportunity for me. But I'm just glad it afforded me the time to kind of formulate my opinion a
7:41 little bit further. And I'm going to be doing the same thing because I got my initial thoughts
7:45 out on the Roe v. Wade thing that broke. And I did that episode that released earlier this week.
7:49 But next week, I'm going to go into much, much more detail because you can just tell that there's
7:52 going to be a ton of whaling and gnashing of teeth over the next week to 10 days. But my immediate
7:58 reaction and some, I guess, of the the immediate reactions to the news of Elon Musk buying Twitter
8:02 and to some of those changes is that people on the right shouted with glee, right? And then
8:07 people on the left, they went absolutely apoplectic. Like they were just inconsolable in the center.
8:12 Again, you know, whoever many people still consider themselves in the center, they probably smiled,
8:16 you know, maybe didn't really change what they were doing all that much. But one of the funniest
8:20 reactions of them all was from a guy named Ari Melbert. And so this is a contributor or a host
8:26 at MSNBC. I'd never heard of this person before. But of all of the tweets, of all of the clips
8:31 from news stations, of all the TikTok videos, of all the everything's, this is my favorite
8:36 one. And it's just, it's so amazing that this guy doesn't understand what he's saying and how
8:43 ironic it is. So let's go to the clip here. You own all of Twitter or Facebook or what have you.
8:48 You don't have to explain yourself. You don't even have to be transparent. You could secretly ban
8:53 one party's candidate or all of its candidates, all of its nominees, or you could just secretly
8:59 turn down the reach of their stuff and turn up the reach of something else. And the rest of us
9:03 might not even find out about it till after the election. Elon Musk says this is all to help people
9:09 because he is just a free speech. Philosophically clear, open-minded helper.
9:16 I mean, can somebody anybody get this guy a mirror? Like it's astonishing. Like these people
9:24 literally have been high on their own farts for so long that they're making up in their wildest
9:29 dreams scenarios that people on their side have already done. Just absolutely, absolutely incredible.
9:36 So one thing we also saw is that leftists, you know, started leaving Twitter,
9:39 but they would make this big grandiose statement on Twitter about the fact that they were leaving
9:43 Twitter, whereas if you were just literally like you were so overwhelmed with how negative of a
9:48 thing that this was, wouldn't you just kind of leave? Why do you have to make a big deal about it?
9:52 And you're getting rid of an account. And so you're making this big announcement. And then
9:55 you're, you're, you're making your account go away where people can't actually access the
9:59 stuff that you just put out there. Anyway, so a lot of leftists left and nobody really noticed.
10:03 But then the interesting thing was is conservatives in basically every prominent conservative person
10:09 or group saw their followers and their engagement numbers explode. I mean, there were people that
10:15 were gaining tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of followers in a day or two. And these
10:20 were people that, you know, had struggled and, you know, about a year ago, there was this big
10:24 purge of what they called fake accounts. And you know, these people that had a bunch of followers
10:28 on the right, they weren't really getting a lot of traffic. Their people were emailing them and
10:31 saying, Hey, I'm not seeing any of your posts. I had to go to your page to see anything like that.
10:35 Now the thing is, is since this happens so immediately after the announcement, Elon Musk acquiring
10:40 Twitter, you have to assume that this is some sort of, you know, cover up attempt by the Twitter
10:45 employees, you know, trying to cover their tracks, albeit horribly because you're making it incredibly
10:49 obvious because this happened almost immediately. But isn't it interesting that shadow banning is
10:53 just another conspiracy theory until it isn't. Because people have been complaining, especially
10:58 conservative is about being shadow banned for a lot of time. Like, Hey, no one seen my videos. Hey,
11:01 no one seen my tweets. Hey, all of a sudden I'm losing followers. Hey, you know, I'm having my
11:05 people tell me that they've liked and shared my stuff. And then all of a sudden they go back to
11:07 their own accounts and it's not been liked or shared. And you know, it's really, really weird.
11:11 But now it's been confirmed, along with a lot of things that we've seen since 2020,
11:15 is it's always a conspiracy theory until we see the evidence. And now we have.
11:18 When you need to build up your team to handle the growing chaos at work, use indeed sponsor jobs.
11:25 It gives your job posts the boost it needs to be seen and helps reach people with the right skills,
11:29 certifications and more spend less time searching and more time actually interviewing candidates who
11:34 check all your boxes listeners of this show will get a $75 sponsor job credit at indeed.com/podcast
11:41 that's indeed.com/podcast terms and conditions apply need a hiring hero? This is a job for indeed
11:47 sponsor jobs. So I've got a bunch of random thoughts I want to go through on this Elon Musk thing. And
11:51 so let's just kind of fire in the first thing is F you money is a real thing. I mean, my goodness.
11:56 I mean, in one, you know, albeit very expensive fell swoop, Elon Musk has bought the town square
12:04 where everybody goes to have their conversations and pretty much doomed all of his competitors,
12:09 all the Twitter lights out there, all those apps to failure almost immediately. So truth social,
12:14 which is Donald Trump's thing, which is still being downloaded a bunch. But I literally don't
12:18 know anybody on the planet that has a true social account. Personally, not a single person. I don't
12:23 have one. I don't know. But parlor is going to be done for getters going to be done for gaps going
12:27 to be done for because the thing about all those other platforms is those platforms were there
12:30 because Twitter was such a cesspool, because Twitter was shadow banning people, because Twitter
12:35 was a bastion of left wing thought and basically stamping out right wing people, right? And that's
12:40 essentially not what my Elon Musk is going to allow it to be moving forward, at least that's how he's
12:45 signaling. But you know, a few money, that that's what he's got. And he flexed it. I mean, 44 billion
12:50 dollars. I mean, people were like, God, he doesn't even feel that. It's like, yeah, he does. Like,
12:54 that's, that's a lot of money. Another random thought is it is very, very funny to me that
12:58 leftist freaked out before Musk actually took over and changed anything. When they announced that he
13:06 was putting the money together to make this bid, they were freaking out. And then whenever you heard
13:12 he got other people to come into his bid with him to solidify it, it even got a little bit more
13:17 rankus from that side of the crowd. And then he, it's announced that he's actually going to be doing
13:22 this thing. And they just absolutely lose it. And Elon Musk is not doing anything right now,
13:27 other than tweeting, like he maybe is doing some things behind the scenes, but he's running nothing.
13:32 But isn't it interesting that leftists are already freaking out? More on that in a second. Another
13:36 random thought is just in general, adults cry too much. I mean, about things that really don't matter.
13:42 We saw all this leaked audio and, and reports of people that worked at Twitter and are still
13:47 working at Twitter right now, crying at meetings because somebody bought their company. Now,
13:53 I can kind of understand it from the point that if they make really, really good money and they built
13:56 up this lifestyle for their families and maybe their family tree, and all of a sudden they're
14:00 thinking themselves, man, I'm going to be on the unemployment line here before too long,
14:03 even though most of those people have golden parachutes, but that's neither here nor there.
14:06 The thing about it is, is these people are just sitting there crying. They're at work crying.
14:09 I mean, I just, I can't imagine a scenario where I would be at work and cry about something that's
14:15 work related unless I worked for an organization that dealt with, you know, I don't know, babies
14:20 being murdered or people being kidnapped and raped or dogs being slaughtered or like something
14:24 that is actually sad. But oh, I don't really like the, you know, philosophical leanings of my new
14:30 potential boss and you cry. Really? I mean, maybe Crispin may feel maybe that's his kind of a thing
14:36 because he's probably still crying from the interview. He and I did a while ago, but most adults can
14:40 get through the day and be resilient enough to not sit there and boo hoo into their coffee. But,
14:45 you know, to each their own, I guess, another random thought I've had is the left never actually
14:51 cared about free speech. They've basically proved it at this point. They never cared about free
14:55 speech. They cared about and I guess still care about control. That's what they want. They want
15:01 control. They want to control the narrative. They want to control speech. And if they can do those
15:06 two things, they will control thought. That is what they are trying to do. That is what they are
15:10 attempting to do. And things like Twitter allow them to do that. The mainstream media allows them
15:15 to do that. Hollywood allows them to do that. You know, the narrative speech and thought.
15:19 And that's why the White House and Jen Psaki and all the people on that team over there
15:23 almost immediately came out to discuss regulating social media companies.
15:27 Oh my goodness. Where was this the entire time? The Hunter Biden laptop story was being
15:32 basically eradicated from social media, something that could have swung the election in 2022.
15:36 Although, you know, Joe Biden apparently did get 81 million votes. You know, who could have thought
15:41 that he, you know, a guy that was basically dead could get 10 million more votes in Barack
15:44 Obama did the most popular president in modern history, right? But it's so it's clearly about
15:50 control now. Because the White House and other Democrats that are in charge and in control,
15:55 they're so concerned about one of their, their, you know, golden goose is not being in their control
16:00 anymore. Now, they also almost immediately came out with their own way to combat disinformation,
16:07 as they're calling it. And we're going to get way more into that in the quick hitter section.
16:11 Now, another thought I had is that I do find it very rich that nobody on the left complained
16:17 when a very, very rich man named Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post, a major newspaper.
16:22 And the reason they didn't freak out is because they knew that Jeff Bezos would keep that paper
16:27 left leaning. And yet they are terrified that another rich man named Elon Musk is buying Twitter
16:35 and is not intending to keep it left wing. And yet he's going to allow it to be whatever
16:40 it wants to be. So if you're left wing, you can obviously be on Twitter. He's not going to ban
16:44 you. If you're right wing, you can obviously be on Twitter. He's not going to ban you. But like,
16:48 why is it okay for a really rich guy, really rich white guy named Jeff Bezos to buy an organization?
16:54 Like we didn't think democracy was going to come melting down because he bought the Washington
16:58 Post. But somehow it's different because Elon Musk, that's rich. Another thing. And this thing
17:04 is very telling. The left, the political left is very concerned about people having a platform.
17:10 They're concerned about certain people having platforms. Okay. Whereas the right is very,
17:15 very concerned about people not having platforms. Hey, you hear this all the time about Joe Rogan,
17:20 like, oh, he's platforming people. He's having my Leonopolis and Ben Shapiro and Alex Jones,
17:24 as if those people have anything in common, he's having them on their show and he's given them a
17:27 platform and all that. It's like, or he's just talking to people that are interesting,
17:30 trying to figure out what they think. But that's the way the left thinks. They're like,
17:34 I disagree with you. So you shouldn't be able to speak where I speak. But in the right, we're
17:38 concerned when people can't speak. I mean, people on the left, they want people they agree with or
17:44 that that don't agree with them to be silenced. That's what they want. People on the right don't
17:49 want that. Not at all. I mean, I've said this a lot before because someone would be like,
17:53 well, what if when you were in college, what if a KKK grand wizard wanted to speak at your college,
17:58 would you be okay with that? And I was like, yeah, totally. I want to know what that guy looks like.
18:03 I want to know exactly why he thinks the way he thinks things. And I certainly hope that there's
18:07 a Q and A so I can ask him why he has such horrifically satanic opinions about people that don't look
18:13 like him, that don't have the same immutable characteristics as him, right? I want to know
18:17 exactly what beyond a shadow of a doubt what these people believe. Why are you so scared of what
18:21 other people believe? Because me, as someone that's on the right, someone that's conservative,
18:26 I can go about my day understanding that you think completely differently for me. And I won't melt
18:33 down. I'm not going to go have a cry session. I'm not going to be like, Oh my gosh, how could
18:37 anyone think that way? Like I'm just going to be like, at most, I'll be like, that's really,
18:41 really a horrific point of view. I'm going to go on and do what I need to do. I'm going to go take
18:45 care of my family. I'm going to take care of my business. I'm going to move on, right? But people
18:48 that have that worldview just don't think that way. Another thought is that, you know, oddly enough,
18:53 you know, who is probably the most excited, at least for a little bit about Elon Musk taking
18:59 over Twitter in the, at least in the short term, it's got to be Joe Biden. I mean, whenever he's
19:04 awake, which at this point, it's probably three or four hours a day, he had to have realized
19:09 that for almost an entire two weeks until the, the leaker over at the Supreme Court messed it up
19:14 for him. For an entire two weeks, everybody was talking about Elon Musk. Joe Biden and his
19:21 inability to do anything positive was not in the headlines. There were little things here,
19:26 there are little stupid things that he did and we're going to talk more about that in the quick
19:29 hater section. But my goodness, he was just, he got to relax for a week or two, right? Got to eat
19:34 his ice cream and wear his aviators sunglasses, because all the focus was on somebody else.
19:38 And the last random thought I'll go over here is it is also very rich to hear people moralizing
19:44 to Elon Musk or just in general about what they would have done if they had had that much money.
19:49 You know, he could have fixed homeless, the homeless crisis with, with all that money.
19:55 You know, he could have fought institutional racism, whatever that is with all that money.
19:59 And my personal favorite that came up is he could have helped the environment with that money.
20:03 The dude is literally the CEO of an electric car company. He is a liberal
20:09 environmentalist. That's who this guy is. Like his entire thing is about getting people to Mars
20:14 so that because once we destroy this planet, we got to be able to go somewhere else and
20:18 have a civilization and he's making these electric cars, which are actually not great for the
20:21 environment. But you know, we don't have to really get into that right now. But that's his whole deal.
20:25 But these people that have no money or they don't, you know, obviously have nearly as much money as
20:29 the richest person in the world. They're like, well, this is what I would do if I had that money,
20:32 even though we know first for a damn sure that's exactly what they would not be doing.
20:37 Now, there are a lot of things that people are wanting Elon Musk to do. So I'm going to give you
20:40 kind of a list of my things that I want to see a Elon Musk do with Twitter. The first thing he
20:44 needs to do right from the very beginning is he needs a clean house. And I mean immediately.
20:48 Scorched earth, clean house, fire, almost everybody that does not need to be there.
20:53 Because if these people are going to be actively working against you, because again,
20:57 he's not getting rid of SpaceX. He's not getting rid of Tesla. Like he can't run Twitter full time.
21:03 And he probably doesn't trust anybody to that he could hire to run at full time perhaps.
21:07 But he's got to get rid of the CEO. He's got to get rid of the entire board. He's probably got to
21:11 got to get rid of the entire C suite. And then he's got to start working his way down and getting
21:14 rid of people. Because here's the thing. Most people haven't heard the stat. It's absolutely
21:18 incredible. But 98.7% of campaign donations coming from Twitter employees went to candidates from
21:26 the same party. Do you want to guess which party it was? 98.7% of campaign donations coming from
21:34 Twitter employees went to Democratic candidates. Shock of all shocks, right? Who could have possibly
21:40 seen that one coming? Okay? All these people think the exact same way. And that needs to be
21:46 eradicated. That needs to be dealt with almost immediately. Study and play come together on a

22:18 The next thing he should consider moving the Twitter headquarters to a red state.
22:23 Because he's going to continue to get people that want to live in that area where everybody
22:28 is blue. We're almost 100% of people give to the same types of candidates. So perhaps moving
22:34 them to Texas would be a good idea. Tennessee, Florida, like something like that. Moving the
22:38 headquarters could do a lot of things for changing the overall environment at Twitter.
22:41 Another thing that I think Elon Musk should do is that he should welcome back every single person
22:48 that was kicked off of that platform for something other than breaking the law.
22:52 Because there are groups that have been kicked off because they were literally inciting violence.
22:58 Trying to, there were terrorists are trying to organize things. Those things were actually
23:02 happening. But a lot of people were just kicked off because their opinions and the way they
23:07 carry themselves on things that they set out loud just doesn't agree with the left. So I'm talking
23:11 about Milo Yiannopoulos, who I'm not personally a fan of, but he should have a Twitter account.
23:14 I'm talking about Alex Jones, who's funny, but I'm not really a huge fan of. He should have a Twitter
23:19 account. And yes, Donald J. Trump, they should all have their Twitter platform. They should all
23:25 have their personal profiles back now. It'd be really, really ridiculous for Donald Trump to
23:30 say, Hey, we're going to launch true social and then go back over and get to Twitter.
23:32 But if he runs for president again, which all signs point to the fact that he will be,
23:36 you know, Lord, help us. Why wouldn't he go back to Twitter? Because the true social,
23:40 he may be able to reach tens of thousands, maybe a hundreds of thousands of people,
23:44 whereas on Twitter, he's going to reach tens of millions of people. So that would be something
23:47 that he would consider. Another thing that I think Elon Musk should fix once he gets over and starts
23:52 running Twitter is fixing the trending category. So I basically for years now have ignored the
23:57 trending category because everything in the trending category basically was bogus. Some of the stuff
24:02 was promoted and put there. So people were paying to be trending, but it was always left leaning
24:08 trending stuff. It was completely biased. So the only time someone on the right would be trending
24:12 was always for a bad thing, some sort of a scandal, right? Oh, they got owned on this college campus
24:16 when they were doing a speech or something like that. But fixing that to where it's like, what are
24:20 people literally talking about? Right? Because some things would be trending and only like,
24:23 there'd be like a few dozen tweets, but it was something that people on the left, people that
24:27 worked at Twitter really, really liked and enjoyed. Okay, so I would, I would fix that.
24:31 Another thing is open source algorithm. So we should be able to see the algorithm so we can
24:34 really know whether or not people are being banned. We can know, Hey, this is why this type of content,
24:39 you know, quote unquote went viral. And this is why this type of content didn't. And the last thing
24:43 I do want to put out there and a lot of people talked about this is just an edit button for tweets.
24:46 It's very, very annoying. When I used to do a lot of stuff for Twitter back in the day,
24:49 when I worked for Major League Baseball and did some other things like that. I was so annoying
24:53 whenever I had put a tweet out there, I thought I had, you know, proofread it. And then I go back
24:56 and it's like, Oh my gosh, you know, one letter is out of place or something like that. But I do
25:00 want to make sure that we could still see the original tweet, because we don't want people to
25:03 be editing the past, you know, Allah, the Ministry of Truth in 1984, more on that in a minute.
25:08 But we do need to see the original of whatever it is. But if you do make a minor mistake,
25:12 you should be able to correct that without deleting the tweet wholesale, especially if you've got a
25:15 threat or something like that going. But overall, before we kind of put a bow on this Elon Musk thing,
25:19 I'm sure we'll talk about it more throughout the year. But I do think that this is great overall.
25:23 I really do. But we do need to be cautious. If you're a conservative, if you're a Christian,
25:29 you do need to be cautious. Okay. Because one thing that was interesting is people were always told
25:35 that, you know, if you don't like what's going on at Twitter, you know, go build your own Twitter,
25:38 right? But creating a competing platform just never really was a viable viable option, in my
25:43 opinion. Because all those other ones, like parlor, which I had a parlor for a little account for a
25:47 little bit and a getter account, it was only conservatives over there just agreeing with each
25:50 other. There was no dissenting opinions. And that's not really good for discourse overall.
25:54 But again, Elon Musk bought the town square, but he didn't just buy it. He took the fencing
26:00 that they had put up around the town square. He took that down and he removed all the kill squads,
26:04 all the people that were, you know, roving around looking for people that didn't think like they did
26:07 or didn't have the same worldview, and that were taking people out, right? So he's taken that away.
26:12 But I do feel a lot of, you know, pleasure in saying this, because I know I'm not the first
26:16 person to say this, but it will feel good to all those leftists that are freaking out right now.
26:20 This is my message. Go build your own Twitter. Go build Woke Twitter. Go build LGBTQ land,
26:27 whatever you want to do. Go build that. It shouldn't be that hard, right? But to kind of get back to
26:33 my overall point about us being cautious, Musk is not on the right. Okay. I know he has some
26:39 right-leaning tendencies. I know he has some right-leaning thoughts, but let's be clear,
26:43 Musk is not a conservative. He's a liberal. He's an ACLU member. He's given tons of money to
26:49 Democratic candidates that were running for major office. He's an environmental activist. He does
26:53 a lot of things that do not agree with the right. So if you are a true conservative,
26:58 if you're a dyed-in-the-wool Republican, if you're that type of person, you can say some of the
27:03 things that he's doing and some of the things that he's allowing for you to be able to do
27:06 are good and positive things. But don't get caught up in the cool factor. Okay. Stand on your
27:12 principal. Stand on your morals. Okay. And also, Musk is not a follower of Christ, nor is he Christ.
27:18 Some of the things people were saying about Musk after this all went down, I'm like,
27:22 okay, can we, can we stop with the hero worship a little bit? Like it's getting a little bit
27:25 ridiculous. Like, yes, this is a really, really good thing. But again, Musk does not
27:30 purport to be a Christian of any kind. He doesn't have a Christian worldview. This is a guy that
27:33 you should pray for because imagine if the world's richest man became a follower of Christ.
27:38 Wouldn't that be an incredible thing? I mean, it'd be great for Twitter in probably the least
27:42 cool way that anyone can think of, but it's like, that is such an awesome thing. So pray for him,
27:47 pray that he changes. But again, that's not who he is. He's not a Christian. He's not conservative.
27:51 We should obviously understand that. But we can hope for an extremely positive outcome to all of this,
27:56 but only time will tell. All right, guys, let's get into the quick hitter section.
28:00 Let's get into the first one here. The Biden administration is adding their own ministry of
28:04 truth. So this is according to the Daily Wire, President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland
28:08 Security DHS is working to create a quote disinformation governance board on quote,
28:13 DGB cuts one letter off from KGB to counter what they determined to be false information
28:17 relating to national security. On Wednesday, this was Wednesday of last week, political reported
28:21 that DHS is creating the board to coordinate counter terrorism and for countering misinformation
28:26 related to homeland security focused specifically on irregular migration and Russia. Okay.
28:32 So guy named Alex Alejandro Mayorkas, he runs DHS. He's gone and did a bunch of the rounds
28:38 because the rollout of this information, especially on the heels of what Elon Musk did.
28:42 Everyone was rightfully calling this Orwellian. Okay. So when you hear people say something like
28:47 Orwellian, for most of you that don't know, they're referring to the ministry of truth
28:51 as Georgia Orwell describes in his novel from 1949 called 1984. I think we added 1984 to our 100
28:58 books every modern Christian manager read list last year. But the name ministry of truth is a
29:02 misnomer. And if you've read the book recently, you know that it is misnamed as those within its
29:06 walls of the ministry of truth actually serve the opposite purpose. So the people that work there,
29:12 they are serving to falsify history and to present it in order to kind of suit the beliefs and the
29:17 intentions of the party. Right. That's the ruling class that we hear about in 1984. Now,
29:22 this organization is going to be headed up by an individual named Nina Jankowitz. And so as of right
29:26 now, even with all the bad press that she's getting, that is still something that, you know,
29:31 she's essentially being primed for. So this is an individual that pushed the story that the
29:36 Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. And she's never disavowed that claim. And she's
29:42 clearly a partisan hack. You know, anytime you hear anything that she's saying, whether it's in the
29:46 media or anywhere else, you know, it doesn't really matter what someone like my orca says,
29:50 she's not somebody that's nonpartisan. She's somebody that's very, very partisan. And she makes
29:54 that very, very clear every time she opens her mouth to talk about the subject of misinformation.
29:58 But she's actually very interestingly enough, the latest proof that theater kids shouldn't be in
30:04 charge of anything. And if you don't know what I mean, you've got to watch this video that I'm
30:08 going to show you right now that she posted herself to TikTok. Someone didn't find this and post it.
30:13 She posted it because she thought it was a good idea. So here's the clip.
30:34 Rudy Giuliani shared that in Tom from Ukraine. Oh, when TikTok can flu ensues a COVID can cause pain.
30:40 They're laundering this info and we really should take note and not support their lives
30:45 with our wallet voice or vote. Oh, information laundering is really quite ferocious. It's
30:50 when our hooks to take some lives and make them sound precocious by saying them in Congress
30:54 for a mainstream outlet service. Information's origin seems likely less atrocious.
31:02 I mean, it's just so hard to watch a clip like that and take someone like that seriously and to
31:07 know that that person is going to have a job that's going to be paid for with our United States tax
31:12 dollars. She's going to have a job doing something that she is so clearly not qualified for because
31:17 she's not going to, you know, look at things down the center. So a couple of things with this overall
31:22 idea that we're talking about with this Ministry of Truth, which is what they really should be
31:25 calling it. Is there is a massive difference between misinformation and disinformation?
31:30 So misinformation, think of being misinformed. So let's say you thought that the Texas Rangers
31:35 won the 2011 World Series. Now you've been misinformed because the winner of the 2011 World
31:40 Series were my St. Louis Cardinals. Now someone can disabuse you of the notion that the Texas Rangers
31:45 won the 2011 World Series and you can say, oops, it looks like I was misinformed. But disinformation
31:50 is a campaign where you are actively and purposely trying to get somebody to believe something that
31:54 is the opposite of the truth. That is what disinformation is. And so these people are basically putting
31:59 themselves on this moral high ground saying when we say something is disinformation, we mean it.
32:04 Just like when someone like Dr. Fauci said he was the science that if you disagree with Dr. Fauci,
32:09 you're disagreeing with the science and the CDC says the science is what it is and we should
32:13 all follow that. This is a very, very dangerous thing. Okay, because they're not saying, hey,
32:18 there's a lot of people spouting things that they know to be wrong and all that and we're here
32:22 just to be neutral arbiters. Nobody that is going to be working for that organization under DHS,
32:27 which is insane as opposed to protecting the homeland from like terrorist attacks or people
32:31 coming through the southern southern border illegally, we're going to be worried about people saying
32:35 things that they don't like online. And so when they signaled this, the rollout was absolutely
32:39 horrific, just like with everything the Joe Biden administration has had. But here's the other
32:43 thing about it. As if you couldn't see this coming before Joe Biden was elected, you're a blind fool.
32:48 I mean, that's what I tried to tell people that just couldn't vote for Donald Trump. And I'm going to,
32:52 you know, go vote for Joe Biden because he can't be nearly as bad as the orange man, right? It's
32:55 like, look, you have to look at what these people are signaling. Like Joe Biden is probably a moderate
33:00 in his heart, but he's going to just go whichever way the wind takes him. So people have said before
33:04 Joe Biden is the center of the Democratic Party, no matter what. So if they swing right, he's still
33:08 going to be in the center, they swing left, he's going to be in the center. The problem is is the
33:11 Democratic Party has shifted so unbelievably to the left at this point that the center is so much
33:17 farther away from anything we could have even fathom, not even, you know, even, you know, eight
33:21 years ago, 10 years ago, something like that. But you had to see something like this was coming.
33:25 But the whole reason why this is coming and why it's coming now is one because it's coming off the
33:30 heels of the Elon Musk, you know, buying, buying Twitter, but also because they are getting ready
33:34 for the 2022 midterms. Because as everybody is heard by now, it's going to be a shellacking.
33:38 There's pretty much a 100% chance the Republicans are going to be taking the House representatives.
33:42 There's, you know, a coin flip chance that they're going to take over the Senate. And then it sets
33:46 them up really nicely to potentially take back the White House, especially if Donald Trump doesn't
33:49 run in 2024. You know, but again, we'll get more into that later. But the thing is, they're going to
33:55 be doing this whole misinformation or not this disinformation thing because they will they will
34:00 have the mainstream media on their side. Because whenever this department, whenever, you know,
34:05 all the people that work there, whenever anybody talks about it, the mainstream media will immediately
34:10 run at run with it and categorize anything that they say as disinformation, right? Hey, you know,
34:14 this organization said it's disinformation. So it has to be disinformation. It reminds me a lot
34:19 of the quote unquote fact checkers that you see, you know, according to an independent fact checker,
34:23 you know, this is mostly false. And then when you dig down deep, most of these fact checking
34:27 organizations are very, very left leaning. There are very, very few fact checking organizations
34:32 that do look at things down the center that just basically report the news, like and say,
34:36 Hey, this is just basically a flat out lie. Or hey, given a little bit more context, this would be true.
34:40 So something to watch for as the Joe Biden administration continues to stumble forward as they move
34:46 forward into the future. All right, the next quick hitter here is the Biden administration is
34:50 floating student loan forgiveness now. So let's dig into this by Katie Balavic from Business Insider.
34:57 And this is via Yahoo News here. President Joe Biden said last week that he will have an answer
35:01 to the question of student loan forgiveness in the next couple of weeks, a move Democratic lawmakers
35:06 are praising. All we know is that the president has expressed an openness to cancel some debt,
35:10 Democratic Representative Ayana Presley of Massachusetts told Yahoo Finance that in and of itself is a
35:15 tremendous victory. And so I believe that we are closer than ever before to seeing some of the
35:20 hardship alleviated about 1.6 trillion in federal student loan debt is owed by some 40 million people
35:26 according to the Wall Street Journal. The Biden administration recently extended a pause on federal
35:30 student loan payments until July 31st. In his comments on Thursday, Biden said he is not considering
35:35 the $50,000 debt reduction that some Democrats, including Presley have called for. However, he recently
35:40 expressed support for debt forgiveness in the range of $10,000 insider previously reported.
35:45 Okay. So the thing we got to be real about this is words have meanings, right? Especially if
35:51 you have a functioning brain, there is no such thing as student loan forgiveness. There's no such
35:57 thing. There is only student loan debt transfer. That's what it is. Because if you're taking the
36:05 debt away from these people, so let's say it is to, you know, $10,000, we're taking away $10,000
36:09 or the student loan debt from everybody in the country that owes at least that much.
36:13 That debt doesn't disappear. It has to be paid. The debt 100% has to be paid by somebody so that
36:21 debt is going to be transferred to you and I, the American taxpayer. So people that are paying taxes
36:27 in this country are going to be paying for these mostly useless degrees that people have got while
36:32 they're working in jobs that have nothing to do with the degree that they got. So it's very telling
36:38 that in this country, because let me be, let me kind of back up a little bit. I know the debt
36:42 is a crisis for a lot of people. There are people that are well into their fifties that are still
36:45 paying off their student loans, right? But it's more indicative of the system that we have in the
36:50 United States because in the United States, as an 18 year old, you can get a hundred plus thousand
36:54 dollars in student loans for a worthless degree, but you won't be able to get a $10,000 loan from a
37:01 bank or anywhere else to start as a small business. You can get 10 times or even more so that to go
37:07 and get a degree when, you know, you don't even have to be evaluated as to whether or not you would
37:13 be a good bet because here's a deal. If we made you apply for student loans, like you have to apply
37:18 for business loans, like provide a plan and submit, you know, an idea of what you're going to do and
37:22 all those different things, most people would probably end up not going to college at all,
37:26 or they'd go to college to learn something that is actually valuable. They wouldn't go to college
37:32 to figure themselves out, man, or I'm just going to go have a good time and, you know, get a general
37:36 to studies degree and then just go try to find whatever dude bro job. No, if you had to apply for
37:41 student loans with a plan, hey, this is a degree I'm going to get. This is where I plan to apply.
37:46 This is where I've been accepted. You know, this is a type of program I want to get into. This is a
37:51 type of honor society. I want to work my way towards. This is a GPA I can manage to keep.
37:55 And by my junior year, this is the type of company I'm going to be looking to either start or work for.
37:59 That'd be a much, much different thing. And I also want to be clear about this as well.
38:03 I don't feel bad for people that are being crushed by student debt at all, not one bit.
38:10 And I know that's like, oh, that's not very graceful. And Kyle, people are really struggling
38:14 out there. And again, I've said on this podcast before, I was lucky enough and blessed enough by
38:19 God to have the skill sets in to be lucky enough to get a full ride scholarship to go to school.
38:24 I did not have to worry about paying off student loan debt. And my wife, she had the exact same
38:28 setup as me because she got his full ride to go to school. And so we didn't graduate. We got
38:32 married very young and we had no student loan debt whatsoever. But the thing is, is if you're in debt
38:38 for student loans, it's because of a decision that you ultimately made.
38:44 You signed on the bottom line, right? For that debt, you made the subsequent poor decision by
38:54 picking your degree program. You're the one that made that subsequent poor decision to go into
38:59 that profession. So you have these people that spent $150,000 on an education. And then, you know,
39:04 all they're good for is maybe a $42,000 a year job at a community college. And they're like,
39:08 I'm never going to be able to pay off this debt. It's like, that was your decision. That's not my
39:12 problem. Like, I'm not going to pay for your bad decision. Like, I don't even know you. The same
39:18 thing like when teachers constantly complain about what they make, it's like, you chose to go to school
39:22 to become a teacher. And then you chose to pursue a job becoming a teacher. And then you were offered
39:26 a job as a teacher. And then you took it, and then you signed the contract. And then you re-upped
39:30 your contract so you would continue being a teacher. Stop [inaudible] about how much money you don't make.
39:34 That's not my fault. Okay. Now, the thing is, is Joe Biden is doing this to placate the
39:39 leftists in his base. I don't think he actually believes in student loan forgiveness. I don't
39:43 think he thinks it's like this massive crisis. And hopefully it doesn't come to pass. But the reality
39:48 is the only thing that I will kind of come to the side of people with all the student loan debt,
39:51 it's the only debt in this country that I know of that I'm aware of that you can't file for
39:55 bankruptcy to get out from underneath it. I think that that is absolutely crazy. So there are people
40:00 that have been swindled and that have been tricked or something like that. And they've got all this
40:03 debt and they're literally not going to be able to get out from underneath it. There should be a
40:07 way out for some of those people. But the way out is not making the taxpayers pick up the tab for
40:11 their very, very stupid decisions. I'm sorry. I'm not here for it. All right. In the next
40:15 quick, quick, quick hitter here. I'll get better at saying that. This is my first time really doing
40:19 the whole thing. So let's get into it here. There's the brutal murder of the 10 year old girl named
40:23 Lily Peters by a 14 year old. This is absolutely horrific story, but there is actually a reason
40:27 behind it. Okay. So let's let's get digging to the story here. This is according to Elliot Hughes and
40:31 Chris Mueller at USA Today law enforcement in Wisconsin launched a homicide investigation into
40:36 a 14 year old boy after discovering the body of 10 year old girl near a walking trail on Monday.
40:41 I think this was two Mondays ago. Police arrested a juvenile suspect who knew alien Peters or Elena
40:47 Peters, excuse me, who went by the name Lily, they announced Tuesday evening preliminary autopsy
40:52 results found found that Peters died of strangulation and blunt force trauma. Chippewa County Coroner
40:58 Ronald Patton said that the autopsy showed the manner of her death was homicide. And he expects
41:02 results from toxicology tests within approximately four to six weeks. The teen arrested in connection
41:07 with the death of Lily appeared by video in court Wednesday, where the judge ordered him held on
41:11 $1 million bell. He actually shouldn't have been offered bail in my opinion. But maybe that's
41:15 something with that state. The boy was not publicly identified by name and has been identified only
41:19 by the initials CPB. So the reason we're bringing up the story is it's an absolutely horrific story.
41:26 I hate that something like this happened. Apparently this 14 year old boy knew this 10 year old girl
41:31 that he beat to death and strangled to death. You know, when you're a 14 year old boy, you don't
41:36 have a tremendous amount of strength. So we can only assume that that little girl suffered for a
41:40 very long time before she finally mercifully passed away. It's just as a father, it's absolutely
41:48 being, I just can't even imagine what those parents are going through. But what the situation has
41:52 brought up and what people, you know, whenever they're not talking about Musk or Joe Biden or
41:55 something else, whenever they're talking about this case, the big question that has been brought up
41:59 again is can we and should we try a 14 year old as an adult? And he's 14, you know, he's four years
42:06 away from being legally an adult and all those different things. Can we try him as an adult? And
42:11 I think it's a very, very easy answer. Yes. Of course we can. I've followed several cases,
42:17 even since childhood, you know, watching Dateline, NBC or any of these, you know, unsolved mysteries
42:22 or something like that. And you end up finding the perpetrator and it's actually a young person.
42:26 And when someone's 14 years old and they've already beaten someone to death and strangled
42:30 them to death with their own hands, that is not somebody that can be trusted in society anymore.
42:34 Now, you know, you can talk about death penalty. You can talk about all those different things
42:39 with a 14 year old and perhaps that's a debate that we can get into on another day.
42:43 But yeah, absolutely. This person should be tried as an adult. And again, I don't think
42:48 I've necessarily framed it properly. I think this this boy is innocent to approve and guilty,
42:51 even though all the evidence completely points to him at this point. I don't know that we have
42:56 a confession or any of those types of things, but they seem very, very confident. This is a person
42:59 that perpetrated this crime. This is not a person that we should ever let back out into society.
43:03 You know, this is a person that should probably never see the outside of a jail cell. And I think
43:08 that's a very, very important thing for us is we can have compassion for this male young,
43:15 this young man. We have compassion for him because I'm assuming he did not have a great upbringing.
43:20 He were probably going to get a lot of details about the fact that he grew up in a broken home.
43:23 I doubt his dad was, you know, in the picture or those types of things or this guy literally
43:27 could just be a sociopath. He could have no feelings whatsoever. But we're probably going to see,
43:32 you know, this very diabolical ideation that's come from this kid. He's probably a kid that
43:36 uses set fires and, you know, used to torture animals and all these things. And then finally,
43:40 he did it to an actual person. This is a person that's going to continue to escalate in their
43:44 crime. That's how that's how a lot of these things end up happening. So no, this is not something
43:47 where it's like, okay, we're going to give this person a slap on the wrist, you know, give them,
43:51 you know, a juvenile prison sentence. And then, you know, treat them as if, you know, once they're
43:55 an adult that they're going to be completely rehabilitated. I just don't know that you can
43:59 do that with somebody at the age of 14 that's already showing this violent behavior. All right,
44:02 next quick hitter here, the state of California is legalizing literal infanticide. So this is
44:07 according to Stephen Earth Telt at life news. The California Assembly Committee has passed a
44:12 radical bill that legal analysts say would legalize infanticide, letting babies die up to 21 or 28
44:18 days after birth. The panel voted for the measure on a 11 to three vote California Assembly Bill
44:24 22223 sponsored by Assemblywoman Buffy wicks democrat from Oakland already has promoted massive
44:30 outrage or prompted massive outrage. While the legislation is meant to end criminal penalties for
44:34 abortion, it could stop people from being punished for killing newborns as well. While hundreds of
44:39 pro life advocates showed up to oppose the bill, the main proponents are pro-abortion groups like
44:43 Planned Parenthood, NARAL and the ACLU. The measure has come under fire from pro-life groups who who
44:49 have said that they would prevent criminal liability if an infant dies during the perinatal period
44:54 due to a pregnancy related cause, which would essentially legalize the killing of newborn babies.
44:59 The National Center of Health Statistics defines the perinatal period as between 28 weeks of gestation.
45:04 This is important 28 weeks of gestation and seven days after birth, but that definition can be
45:10 extended up to 28 days after birth. The bill would prohibit authorities from charging a mother
45:16 for actions or omissions related to her pregnancy, including miscarriage, still birth or abortion
45:21 or perinatal death. Anyone who aids or assists a pregnant person also would be exempt from prosecution.
45:27 Additionally, the bill would allow the woman to sue police and other authorities who arrest or
45:30 charge her in such cases. According to the California Family Council, the perinatal death
45:35 language in the bill would exempt mothers who kill their newborn babies from prosecution.
45:39 So let's talk about this because I was asked about this. A good buddy of mine came over and
45:42 we had a cigar and some whiskey a couple nights ago and he's like, have they really, you know,
45:46 approved of this? And I was trying to explain it through the lens of, hey, you know, they're
45:49 talking about the perinatal period, but essentially that perinatal period could extend to 28 days after
45:55 the child has been born. So if the mother does something that directly leads or doesn't do something
46:01 that directly leads to the death of her baby, she will not be charged with murder. That is
46:07 definitionally infanticide because if you purposely kill a human being outside the womb as according
46:14 to current law everywhere in this country, that is murder. So one of the things that drives pro
46:19 life people so absolutely insane is it's because, okay, when the babies on one side of the vagina,
46:24 you're okay with us, you know, basically killing them sucking their brains out and all that. But
46:28 then when they reach the other side of the vagina, you're not really okay with that. But this was
46:32 always the way that the pro abortion people were going to go. This was the only realistic way
46:37 for this to end up is if you worship at the altar of convenience, well, convenience doesn't stop
46:42 once the baby comes. It becomes way less convenient when the baby arrives. I can speak from immediate
46:48 experience because we have like a seven week old living in our house right now. So the pregnancy
46:52 period was hard, especially on my wife, obviously, but then once the baby is here, way more inconvenient.
46:57 But this is something that is very likely going to be passed in the state of California. And that's
47:02 the one thing about the state of California that is very interesting. It's not interesting. It's
47:05 actually really, really sad because that is a state that is going to do everything they can to
47:10 basically signal to the rest of the world that we're going to be as left as possible. And there's
47:14 nothing you can do to stop it. So there are people that are like, Oh, we should stay in
47:18 fight in California and it's worth saving. I don't know if it can be saved at this point because
47:24 everything that they can do to be on the pro abortion side on the pro death side on the pro
47:28 murder side, they're going to do it. And a lot of Californians, the way it used to be is it would
47:33 be legalized and normalized in California through Hollywood and other things. And then it would
47:37 spread out to the rest of the country. That's one thing that I think is stopping because a lot of
47:42 people that are leaving that state for other states are hoping a lot of that stink doesn't
47:45 follow them. Now, as I've said many times on the show before, I am very, very pessimistic about how
47:50 all these California voters that are moving to Idaho and Arizona and Texas and Florida and other
47:55 places, I'm very, very pessimistic about them keeping that voting record strong over time,
47:59 because a lot of people vote based on emotion, not based on statistics, not based on reality. So
48:04 a lot of people aren't going to be voting for tax policy when they enter the booth whenever
48:07 they're trying to pick between red and blue, they're going to be voting based on these, you know,
48:10 these very emotional things, like the LGBTQ thing about trans kids and about, you know, anything
48:16 that would be in the abortion side of things. That's the things that they're going to be voting on.
48:19 And so you should, you might see a lot of these red states that are getting this influx of people
48:23 from blue states that turn their state purple and could eventually turn in blue. But that is
48:26 something to keep our eye on with what these people are trying to do in the state of California.
48:30 All right, last one here, Joe Biden informed us that our kids actually don't belong to us. So
48:34 last week, while speaking at the White House in front of a group of teachers, Joe Biden had
48:38 this to say, and this is a direct quote, they're all our children. They're not somebody else's
48:43 children. They're like yours when they're in the classroom. Okay. So obviously people keyed in on
48:48 this, you know, they're they're like yours when they're in the classroom. They're not someone
48:52 else's children. There was a lot of outrage. But again, Joe Biden just says these things.
48:56 I doubt that was what the what was in front of him. I doubt that was on his note card. I doubt
48:59 that was on the teleprompter. It's just something that he said, okay. But I want to read this
49:03 according to Rob Curley at the Daily Mail, Republicans hit back at President Joe Biden on
49:07 Thursday, a day after he fired a salvo in the education wars by saying parents gave up control
49:12 of their children at the classroom door. School schools are at the center of one of the fiercest
49:16 debates in national politics. And Biden used a reception for teachers at the White House
49:20 to say parents don't belong to them when they're in the classroom. Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt
49:25 led the backlash. God gave kids to parents, not the government, he tweeted. Other conservatives
49:30 expressed their anger and even more graphic terms. They're not your children tweeted Sebastian
49:35 Gorka, former Trump administration, official radio host, you see Nile communist clown. So
49:40 here's the thing. I've talked about this before and I know it seems like I'm hating on teachers,
49:44 but you know, there's a lot of things that teachers say and a lot of you know, this hero
49:46 worship around teachers as they're this homogenous group of people that are all good at their jobs
49:50 and all give a crap. Again, in my entire life, you know, the dozens teachers I've had, I can count
49:54 on one hand, the number of teachers that I feel like really, really gave a crap about their students
49:58 and about me individually, right? This idea that teachers are just across the board heroes. And
50:02 if we doubled their pay, they'd all of a sudden be better is an absolute farce.
50:06 But a lot of teachers do think that they are fully responsible for your children when they're in
50:11 their care. Now, to a degree, they are because they're there to teach them or protect them.
50:16 But a lot of them are going beyond that now. So you're seeing a lot of this stuff with the
50:20 Florida bill, you know, the parental rights bill, and you're seeing all these things where
50:23 these teachers are like, wait a minute, if their parents are going to think so backwards,
50:28 and if their parents are going to expose them to these ideas, these left wing ideas,
50:31 then I guess that's my responsibility. I guess that's something that I need to do,
50:35 because they're my children. There was a there was a guy on TikTok that was a teacher here in the
50:39 state of Oklahoma, again, a very, very red state. It's been every county red in every presidential
50:44 election, I think since George W, right? But even in this state, this guy took it upon himself
50:49 to bring queer ideology and LGBTQ stuff and Black Lives Matter stuff into the classroom.
50:55 As opposed to teaching the subject matter that he's been paid by the Oklahoma taxpayer
50:59 to teach, he wants to talk about all these other things. Why? Because whenever you're not there,
51:04 they're his kids. That's how these people think. Now, I don't want to paint one too broad a brush
51:09 because I know there are some amazing teachers out there. There are teachers out there that
51:12 love on their kids, and they actually care about the fact that they learn and they want every single
51:16 kid to be up at least to grade level competency in the subject that they teach. And they want the
51:21 excellent kids to be even more excellent and to excel further. I know that there are those
51:25 teachers out there. I know there's a lot of those teachers out there. There are some
51:27 that listen to the show even. I know that. But a lot of people in this group think the same way.
51:34 They think that they're their kids. These are my kids. That's how they even say it.
51:39 And it used to be kind of a cute thing that teachers would say until 2020 happened until
51:44 Zoom school happened. And we started to hear the things that these teachers were saying.
51:48 We started hearing the different things that they were pushing and the types of poise and
51:51 they were putting in the ears of these children. Because again, why do we have so many kids claiming
51:55 to be transgender now? Could have anything to do with the fact that by the age of five,
51:59 most of them have already been asked what gender do you feel like you are?
52:02 Because again, I've said something along these lines on many shows before that if you gave me
52:07 a room full of five year olds, I could probably convince half the room before they left the half
52:11 the room before they left for the day that they were a superhero that they had actual superpowers.
52:17 Do you know why? Because they're stupid. They're five years old. They're 20 years away from their
52:22 brains being fully developed. They can have any type of a mind contagion and they will run
52:26 with it. That's why kids. That's why we love their creativity because they don't have any
52:30 boundaries at that point. But whenever you inject these these crazy ideologies and tell them that
52:36 these things that are immoral or just flat out biologically false, when you tell them that they're
52:41 normal, that is the kid's paradigm from a very young age. And by the time you're able to break
52:45 them out of that, if you ever are, it perhaps is too late. They've already formulated the worldview.
52:50 So another thing that we need to continue to be taking advantage of and making sure that
52:54 we're paying attention to is when you have people like Joe Biden get up there and say
52:58 to a room full of teachers that are all basically sponsors of the Democratic Party that they're
53:02 not somebody else's children. They're like yours when you're in the classroom. We got to not take
53:06 that lying down. I talked to a guy today who was talking to somebody to one of his teachers and
53:11 he was basically like, hey, you're not going to do any of that woke stuff in the classroom,
53:14 are you? You're not going to do any of the LGBTQ stuff. You're not going to bring in a Black Lives
53:18 Matter fist and, you know, put it in the corner of the in the room. Just have that conversation
53:21 with the teachers, because it at least lets them know that it signals to them that you're paying
53:26 attention. And if they get out of line, it's going to be a problem for them. All right, guys,
