This is Undaunted Life, a man's podcast.
1:21
I'm your host Kyle Thompson.
1:23
Let's get into it.
1:24
And you who are dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh,
1:28
God made alive together with him, having forgiven all our trespasses
1:31
by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands.
1:35
This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.
1:37
He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame by triumphing over them in him.
1:42
Guys, that is Colossians 2, 13 through 15.
1:44
And you heard me read that yesterday, but guys, that's so nice.
1:47
I had to read it twice.
1:48
Again, yesterday we dealt with all of the debt forgiveness stuff that the Biden administration is doing,
1:52
but we didn't have time to get to the quick hitters.
1:54
So that's what we're going to do today.
1:55
But before we get to that, just one to remind you guys that we have a nice resource for you
1:58
on our website is the 100 books every modern Christian man should read less
2:02
so you guys can go and check that out.
2:04
So it's going to have a bunch of different categories.
2:06
There's marriage, there's business, there's leadership, there's literature,
2:09
there's a C.S. Lewis, he gets his own category.
2:11
But guys, you should be reading that as a great way to develop your mental resilience.
2:14
So go to undaunted.life/booklist.
2:17
I will try to remember to put that in the show notes, but it's undaunted.life/booklist.
2:21
Again, we are a donation driven ministry. So for those of you guys that want to see more content,

3:24
episode than what we're you're probably used to. But it's basically all quick hitters. And I'm
3:27
only going to hit four of them because I want to save some for next week. We're going to discuss
3:31
Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook telling Joe Rogan that the FBI instructed him to throttle the
3:35
Hunter Biden laptop bombshell prior to the 2020 election. A woke pastor in Australia saying
3:40
churches should quote create space for gender inclusive bathrooms. Unquote the greatest doctor
3:45
in the history of medicine. I'm of course talking about Dr. Fauci announcing he's retiring at the
3:49
end of the year. Oh my gosh, we're at the tissues and a K through 12 school district in my own backyard
3:54
hiring a pro CRT. That's critical race theory. Dei firm. That's diversity equity inclusion
3:59
to train its teachers. So tons of stuff to get to. I'm not going to hold it from you any longer.
4:04
So let's dig into it. The first one here. Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook telling Joe Rogan that
4:08
the FBI instructed him to throttle the Hunter Biden laptop bombshell prior to the 2020 election.
4:12
Enormous enormous story, even though it's going to disappear like a fart in the wind by the end of
4:15
the week. But this is according to the New York Post is from last week. Mark Zuckerberg finally
4:20
admitted on Thursday last Thursday that Facebook dropped the ball when the company banned the
4:23
sharing of the post exclusive report Hunter Biden's laptop ahead of the 2020 election.
4:28
The billionaire CEO of meta said he regretted Facebook's handling of the bombshell story
4:32
during the appearance on the Joe Rogan experience. But he still defended the process as pretty
4:37
reasonable. Zuckerberg opened up with a controversial media suppression after the host pressed him to
4:42
explain his views on how tech platforms should handle content moderation on sensitive subjects.
4:47
Okay, so I'm going to save you from having to listen to the entire three hour episode.
4:51
In all honesty, I've not listened to that entire episode. As of right now, for the most part,
4:55
most people are saying that was like basically the best part of all the things that you could hear.
4:59
Mark Zuckerberg is not the world's most interesting person. So maybe you want to listen to three hours
5:02
of him talking. Maybe you don't. But here's the clip that everybody's talking about. And this is
5:06
where it shows Zuckerberg more so attempting to explain exactly what Facebook dig. So let's get
5:12
into the clip here. How do you guys handle things when they're a big news item that's controversial?
5:20
Like there was a lot of attention on Twitter during the election because of the Hunter Biden
5:26
laptop story. Yeah, we have a two. Yeah, so you guys censored that as well?
5:31
So we took a different path than Twitter. I mean, basically the background here is the FBI,
5:37
I think basically came to us, some folks on our team and was like, Hey, just so you know,
5:43
like you should be on high alert. There was we thought that there was a lot of Russian propaganda
5:48
in the 2016 election. We have it on notice that basically there's about to be some kind of dump
5:55
of that similar to that. So just be vigilant. So our protocol is different from Twitter's.
6:02
What Twitter did is they said you can't share this at all. We didn't do that. What we do is we have,
6:09
if something's reported to us as potentially misinformation, important misinformation,
6:16
we also have this third party fact checking program because we don't want to be deciding
6:19
what's true and false. And for the, I think it was five or seven days when it was basically being
6:26
being determined whether it was false, the distribution on Facebook was decreased,
6:35
but people were still allowed to share it. So you could still share it. You could still consume it.
6:39
So we say the distribution is decreased. It got shared. How does that work?
6:43
It basically the ranking in News Feed was a little bit less. So fewer people saw it than
6:47
would have otherwise. So it definitely by what percentage?
6:51
I don't know off the top of my head, but it's meaningful. But basically a lot of people are still
7:00
able to share it. We got a lot of complaints that that was the case. Obviously this is a
7:04
hyper political issue. So depending on what side of the political spectrum you either think we
7:09
didn't censor it enough or censored it way too much. But we weren't sort of as black and white
7:13
about it as Twitter. We just kind of thought, Hey, look, if the FBI, which I still view as a
7:19
legitimate institution in this country, it's a very professional law enforcement, they come to us
7:23
and tell us that we need to be on guard about something that I want to take that seriously.
7:27
Did they specifically say you need to be on guard about that story?
7:30
No, I don't remember if it was that specifically, but it was it basically fit the pattern.
7:36
So you shouldn't be terribly impressed with his performance there because it really wasn't
7:42
that great. It really wasn't an awesome performance by him. To be honest, it was just kind of one of
7:48
those things where it's like you're just shocked that somebody is communicating in the way that he's
7:52
communicating. It was kind of this mealy mouth approach to everything. Some of the times he was
7:56
acting like it was real specific his answer. Other times it was not very specific. But there's
8:00
some interesting things from this clip. The first thing that I really thought through whenever I was
8:04
looking at this, you know, two-ish minute clip is that the FBI came to Facebook prior to the 2020
8:10
election day to grease the wheels because in order for Facebook or any of these companies to stand
8:17
up and say, Hey, you know, this is why we throttled this thing, which could have decided the 2020
8:22
election. It's because the FBI told us. And so basically they did all these companies that didn't
8:28
want Donald Trump to win. They wanted president or they wanted, you know, Joe Biden to be elected
8:33
president and then eventually co president because of those things they needed some sort of substantiation
8:38
aside from their own environment, their own ecosystem that they've created. And the FBI
8:42
certainly provided that to them, which, you know, if true, the FBI, if you believe that the FBI is
8:48
this neutral arbiter of, you know, information, if they're this neutral purveyor of the law in a
8:55
federal sense, then you should be okay with that. But as we've seen lately, as we've seen even in
9:01
the last 30 days, we don't know that the FBI can be trusted as this neutral entity that doesn't
9:06
have political interests. So that should be somewhat concerning, right? And by some way, I obviously
9:10
mean a lot more than that. I was downplaying it a little bit. But another interesting thing
9:14
from the clip is that it mentions, you know, Mark Zuckerberg mentions third party fact checkers.
9:19
Ah, we have a third party fact checking firm. As if that means anything. Because whenever you
9:25
dig into these quote unquote fact checking firms, you realize that a lot of these people tend to
9:30
think the same way. It's not a whole bunch of people with a bunch of different ways of viewing
9:34
the world, looking at the ins and outs and the data and breaking down exactly whether this means
9:38
that or that means this, a lot of these entities, as is going to be a shock to no one in this audience,
9:43
significantly leans to the left. And so when they're like these fact checking firms,
9:48
they say that as if that ends the argument, as if you're supposed to turn your brain off and be like,
9:53
Oh, well, it's a third party fact checking firm. So I may not trust Facebook, but I certainly believe
10:00
the entity that they're paying to do their bidding, right? And so again, he just kind of throws that
10:06
in there. And most people, most dumb people are just going to be like, yeah, makes perfect sense.
10:10
But we should, we should want to fact check the fact checker. It's because again, every single
10:15
one of these companies and all the individuals in these companies have bias. So you're always
10:19
going to get that. It said a lot of these firms are not open about that. They're actually pretending
10:23
like CNN did for years pretending like they were, you know, moderate that they were in the middle that,
10:27
you know, Fox News was far right. And you know, MSNBC was far left and we're we're right in the
10:31
middle with just the facts with us. It's like, you know, okay, that's not the case. We've certainly
10:35
seen that play out since, you know, the see where it happened in 2020. Another interesting thing
10:39
from this clip is Mark Zuckerberg admitted to throttling this story before his supposed fact
10:47
checking firm had determined anything was true or false yet. So he admitted to throttling the story.
10:54
But you have to ask why throttle it at that point. If you're fact checking agency, which
11:00
you're paying probably millions of dollars and you have them on retainer, if they can't get
11:05
you an answer quickly as to whether or not these things are true, why would you do anything at
11:10
that point? Because if it's false, then you still let people share it. Right. If it ends up being
11:17
false, you let people share it. That's a bad thing. But if it, if it's found out to be true,
11:23
the allegations are true. The reporting is true. Then you kept people from sharing it or seeing
11:28
it at all. So it's kind of a damned. If you do damned, if you don't catch 22 situation,
11:33
but when you try to play both sides or pretend like you were doing this moderate approach to it,
11:38
it's not that at all. And I do also like that he kind of slipped in there that the FBI is a
11:43
very professional law enforcement like obviously he's a big fan of the FBI. But again, for most
11:48
Americans, especially Americans, I think the way that I do, I'm kind of looking at the FBI,
11:52
a scant a little bit. And I know that there are a lot of great patriotic Americans that work for
11:57
the federal Bureau of Investigation here in the United States. But as an entity, as a bureaucracy,
12:02
it seems like they're doing the bidding of your particular political party at this point.
12:05
I mean, we'll see how it goes into the future. But I'm definitely not seeing anything that would
12:09
sway my opinion right now. But the key interaction of the clip was at the very, very end of that
12:15
little two minute, 20 second deal or whatever. So Joe says this, he says, did they specifically
12:20
say you needed to be on guard about that story? So that story is the Hunter Biden laptop story.
12:25
And this was Zuckerberg's response. No, I don't remember if it was that specifically,
12:31
but it basically fit the pattern. So it was no, and then immediately a quarter of a second later,
12:40
it was I don't remember. So typically when you watch negotiations, when you watch interactions,
12:46
when you watch, you know, lawyers that are, you know, addressing people in the stand or different
12:50
things like that, a lot of times people will give their knee jerk answer immediately. They will
12:54
immediately realize they shouldn't have done that and then they'll give you the canned answer that
12:58
their lawyer said that they needed to say once they got on the stand. Okay. So again, his quote,
13:02
this is a quote direct quote. No, I don't remember if it was that specifically, but it basically
13:07
fit the pattern. So it was no, and then it was I don't remember. Okay. So hard to know exactly what
13:14
to get from from this little interaction. But the overall thing, and I guess the big takeaway
13:19
here for me on this particular story is that the federal government in the United States is not
13:23
your friend. Okay. And neither are the bureaucracies therein, because there was a time in this country,
13:30
where it seemed like you could blindly say that you trusted these organizations, you trusted these
13:35
people that they had your best interests at heart, they had your safety at heart. But I think these
13:39
last few years have done a lot for conspiracy theorists in a good way and done a lot for, you
13:45
know, how we view these federal bureaucracies in a bad way, because we've seen them act out poorly.
13:51
We've seen them blatantly lie to us. We've seen them lie to us so that they could control us,
13:56
control narratives, and they had their tendrils spread out into all these other different areas
14:00
to try to influence you and corrupt what you were thinking to bend you in a particular direction.
14:06
And so that certainly is the case with what we're seeing here. So to be honest, I was stunned that
14:12
Mark Zuckerberg even went on that show because he had to have known the questioning on that was
14:16
coming. I really hope. And again, I haven't listened to the whole episode yet. I hope that
14:20
Joe Rogan really kept hitting him on this, because that's the biggest story of the 2020 election,
14:25
aside from the fact that Joe Biden supposedly won it. It was that in the weeks leading up to that,
14:30
there were independents that were still trying to figure out who they were going to vote for.
14:34
And there were a tons of them that admitted if they had known about the Hunter Biden laptop story,
14:38
they would have either chosen not to vote or vote for Donald Trump. And there were enough people
14:41
that it could have swayed the elections in key swing states that ended up all going for Joe Biden.
14:46
So it's not a nothing burger, but we'll see how it goes into the future.
14:49
All right, next story here next quick hitter, a woke pastor in Australia saying churches should
14:55
quote create space for gender inclusive bathrooms, unquote. So there was a tweet from woke preacher
15:01
TV. So it's at woke preacher TV. I think the name is like woke preacher clips or something like that.
15:06
And this was on August the 22nd. So here's the caption of that from at woke preacher TV.
15:11
Acts 29 church in Australia says Christians quote must lean into the rights of those who
15:15
identify as transgender unquote, including quote creating space for gender inclusive bathrooms,
15:20
unquote. So when I saw the caption, I was like, okay, so that doesn't sound good. I'm not going
15:27
to be completely shocked. I don't know about act 29 church in Australia. I don't know who this
15:32
person is that I'm about to watch. But you know, nothing would have really surprised me. I wouldn't
15:36
surprise me if it seemed like it was clipped or taken out of context. And it wouldn't have
15:38
surprised me if I saw a pastor going, you know, full woke, you know, woke cookies or whatever.
15:42
So in the clip, it is Australian mega church senior pastor and it's a guy named Guy Mason
15:49
from city on a hill church. So from what I could get from the city on a hill website,
15:53
it seems like it's a network of churches all in Australia that all have, you know, pastors of the
15:58
individual churches, but he's kind of the senior pastor guy. So it's kind of the mega church model
16:02
where you have the main guy and then they spread out all these other different churches around the
16:06
area like they're spreading out, you know, Burger Kings or Taco Bells. And you know,
16:09
they just kind of pipe in this person's message and kind of do it like that's their style. That's
16:12
the way that they want to do it. So apparently it's not just happening in America. It's also
16:16
happening in Australia. But apparently the guy Mason guy is a senior cool guy. And he's doing his
16:20
best Carl Lince impression in his headshot on the website. So that's kind of what I got from it.
16:23
So I didn't know any of that before I watched the clip. I basically read the caption and went
16:27
right to the clip. So I'm going to play that for you here. So let's go. Christians can and must
16:32
lean into the rights of those who identify as trans gender. The Christian philosopher,
16:39
Edith Stein explains, whoever is near us and needing us must be our neighbor.
16:47
The love of Christ knows no limits. It never ends.
16:52
So if that means advocating for better health care and social support,
16:59
if that means creating space for gender inclusive bathrooms and policies that acknowledge a person's
17:07
humanity and their inherent value, if that does mean thinking through complex questions around
17:13
sport or the particular and unique struggles that the trans community face when it comes to health
17:18
care and domestic violence and and homelessness. And there was a lot more to it. So guys, I'm
17:25
posting the link in the show notes so you can check it out because this guy didn't just post
17:29
this initial clip. There were more clips. Obviously you can kind of see that his speech was trailing
17:33
off there. So obviously this wasn't just a short clip. One thing that I will say just to be fair
17:37
to this pastor and you know, I'm not going to be too fair to him because I'm about to destroy him.
17:40
But to be fair to him, he did have scriptures that he quoted from other parts because people
17:45
are like, look, he doesn't even quote scripture there. He's quoting a philosopher. Yes, I realized
17:49
he was quoting a philosopher, but that was just that part of it. So imagine someone clipping
17:53
something that I said and it's like, oh, well, he only referred to something Thomas Ols said,
17:57
he must be worshiping at the altar of Thomas Ols. Like that's not exactly fair. So I want to make
18:00
sure I give you that context. But I don't typically do this, but I was so flabbergasted whenever I
18:06
saw this, I immediately posted it on Instagram because I wanted to make sure that people saw it.
18:10
And then I posted a lengthy because typically I don't post very much in, you know, my caption
18:14
or whatever, but I posted something lengthy in the caption and it still, you know, captures my
18:18
thoughts at this point. So I'm just going to read what I posted whenever I posted the video. So I'm
18:22
just going to read this directly off my Instagram here. Apparently you are unloving if you don't
18:27
quote lean into unquote the supposed rights of people who have a mental disorder that should be
18:32
treated with counseling and prayer as opposed to scalpels and chemical castration pills.
18:37
I would like for at guy Mason to more fully explain what he means by quote advocating for better
18:42
health care and social support unquote for trans people. Does he mean that the taxpayers of Australia
18:47
should pay for little girls to get fallow plasties, which is where they cut healthy flesh off of the
18:52
girl's arm or thigh and then mold it into a penis like phallus and then sew it onto the little girl's
18:57
crotch? Would he want us to advocate for more little boys to be put on puberty blockers,
19:01
which will open them up to a myriad of terrible physical and psychological health issues for the
19:05
rest of their lives, most of which we aren't even aware of yet? We want us to march arm in arm as we
19:11
demand that hospitals and doctors chop the healthy breast tissue off of female children as we
19:16
simultaneously tell them, don't worry, even if you change your mind later, you can just get a boob job.
19:21
This is the type of preaching and pastor that you get when you place the Bible and a Judeo-Christian
19:28
ethic downstream of what the culture tells you is acceptable and loving. While this guy is busy
19:33
trying to make leftist and LGBTQ+ advocates comfortable and happy, he is simultaneously
19:39
confusing the flock, the same flock that he want to give an account to God when he dies of how he
19:44
shepherded them while they were under his care. So didn't get a response from Guy Mason. I assume
19:50
that I won't. If any of you guys know him, he has a free free pass to come on this show. I would love
19:56
to start the conversation with those quotes and see if we can build out because perhaps I missed
20:01
something. But that's the one thing when people talk about nuance or, "Yeah, there's more to it,"
20:05
or, "There's more context." It's funny when you start digging on a lot of those stories,
20:09
it just deepens the scaffolding under which that person said whatever crazy thing they said to
20:14
begin with. Because in the other clips, I didn't see anything that was counter to what he's basically
20:20
saying here. But here's my big takeaway on this story. You need to expect so-called pastors like
20:26
this guy all over the globe to keep cow-towing to a society and culture that hates them.
20:33
Because perhaps this guy, Mason, guys think into himself, "Okay, I just want to be as loving as
20:40
possible. I want to love my neighbor." And then this is how he's deciding to love his neighbor,
20:44
okay? Maybe that's the way that he thinks. But if I take some hints from his website,
20:50
and perhaps I'm passing a little bit too much judgment, but if I take some hints from some of the
20:55
things that they say on their website, from the way that he and some of his staff present themselves,
21:01
and yes, I do mean physically and stylistically, if I look at the overall content of some of the
21:07
things that are said from that pulpit, I'm going to assume that this guy doesn't spend nearly as
21:11
much time in the scripture as he does paying attention to what cultural accused are telling
21:16
him to think and believe about particular people. Because he has a great opportunity
21:21
from his pulpit and all these other minions and pastors underneath him to lean on the scripture
21:27
and go to the scripture for how we should inform these situations that have to deal with real people.
21:33
So start with that child or that adult that has gender dysphoria. They believe in their mind that
21:40
they are the opposite gender, even though they couldn't effectively define what it means to be
21:45
the opposite gender because they aren't that, right? But they honestly and fervently believe it.
21:51
Because in those moments, you do have to have to ask what is loving. So I need him to explain to me
21:57
how cutting the breasts off of a teenage girl is loving. I need him to explain to me why puberty
22:04
blockers and kids that are 10 years away from being able to legally buy a beer at the bar,
22:09
that they should be able to utilize those things to quote unquote assign them a different gender
22:15
or transition them to a different gender. I need him to explain to me how that's loving.
22:20
Again, I use these examples all the time. Sometimes make people uncomfortable,
22:23
but there are people out there that are called furries. These are people that honestly believe
22:28
that they are house pets like a cat or a dog. So if you have someone that's a furry that's in your
22:33
life and they come over to your house for dinner, ask yourself, is it loving to toss their food
22:40
in a bowl and throw it on the floor? Would it be loving to pet them as they eat? Would it be loving
22:46
to take them for a walk while they're on all force after dinner? Would that be a loving thing to do?
22:51
Or would a loving thing be to do? Hey, you were created by God in the image of God as a human being.
22:57
You're not a dog. You need to stop this nonsense. Would that be more loving? Maybe harsh, maybe a
23:04
little mean, but certainly more loving. There are people that are schizophrenic. Some people are
23:10
paranoid schizophrenic. Just imagine if you were playing into these people's desires for you to
23:15
come into their world, which is altered by some chemical imbalance or some injury that they've
23:20
suffered to the brain. It's not loving to tell someone that thinks the refrigerator is giving them
23:25
secrets about UFOs that, yeah, that's probably exactly what the refrigerator is doing. That's not
23:30
a good thing for you to do. It's not loving. So again, open invitation to Guy Mason to come on
23:36
this show. I would love to spar and talk about this a little bit. Perhaps I'm missing something.
23:40
Maybe I'm going out over my skis and if I do, I want to make sure I can dial it back a little bit.
23:45
But again, guys, the culture hates us. The culture is supposed to hate us. We have a biblical guarantee
23:51
that the culture will not will not understand us as Christians and that they will end up hating
23:55
us and that they will revile us to a point where they may actually begin to persecute us.
23:59
And we should expect that. So why are you trying to go out of your way to basically tell the
24:05
culture? No, we're not like those other bad people. We're not conservative Christians. We're
24:10
cool just like you. Look at our cool clothes. Look at all the different things we say from stage,
24:16
how we won't judge people and how it's okay to be this and it's okay to be that.
24:19
How we never talk about sin. We never talk about judgment. We never talk about hell.
24:23
Won't you be our friends? And the answer is always no. Because if you want people to become a
24:29
Christian, you need to expect more of them, not less. You don't need to lower the barriers of
24:35
entry as much as possible. You need to tell them and tell them that the expectations are so high
24:40
that Jesus did all the hard work. But here are the standards and we're not going to been from that
24:45
because we didn't figure out something new about language 2000 years later after Jesus walked this
24:50
earth that somehow changes the things that he taught. We're not going to go down that road.
24:55
So to any pastors listening to this, I pray to God literally to God that you would never
25:00
look to culture for your cues on what you should say from the pulpit. What if you could have the

slash podcast. All right. Next quick hitter here. The greatest doctor in the history of medicine.
26:09
And I'm of course talking about Dr. Anthony Fauci. He announced that he is retiring at the
26:14
end of this year. I know I know guys like it took me days before I recovered like I couldn't eat.
26:21
I couldn't sleep. I was absolutely destroyed by this. And I know you are too. So this is
26:26
according to the blaze media. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy
26:31
Infectious Diseases and President Joe Biden's chief medical advisor is stepping down at the
26:35
end of the year. While the news is not exactly surprising, Fauci previously indicated that he
26:39
would stay on through Biden's presidency. Fauci 81 announced Monday that he is not retiring per
26:45
se, but leaving government service in pursuit of other career goals. While I am moving on
26:50
from my current position, I am not retiring. Fauci said in a statement, after more than 50
26:54
years of government service, I plan to pursue the next phase of my career, while I still have
26:58
the energy and passion for the field. I'm about so later on, the story says Fauci's taxpayer-funded
27:02
government pension will exceed $350,000 in annual payouts, not once. But you were paying for Dr.
27:10
Anthony Fauci's golden parachute, the part that we know about $350,000 a year for his
27:16
tremendous amount of service to the United States and to its populace. So there's a lot of speculation
27:22
over the timing of this announcement, because it does seem poised that Republicans will take
27:27
over the House at the end of this year. Perhaps the Senate, as each week goes on, it seems like
27:31
the Senate is more and more likely going to stay with the Democrats, which is incredibly
27:35
unfortunate. But it seems like it's a foregone conclusion that the House will go ahead and take
27:40
over will be taken over by Republicans, and that they are going to try to do some investigations
27:45
about the response to COVID, about the vaccines, about Dr. Fauci, about him lying to the public
27:49
on purpose. You know, was he lying? Did he mess it up or something like that? So that's the timing
27:54
that they're thinking is like, why would he leave right before the Republican stake over the House?
27:58
That's interesting timing. But also, congressional investigations, apparently,
28:03
are much easier to do with federal employees while they're still employed with the federal
28:07
government, as opposed to private citizens. So even certain federal employees you have the lawyers
28:13
that will play pretty pleased with the other people's lawyers and say, yeah, will you come and,
28:17
you know, testify and all those different things? So even if you get a subpoena from the House,
28:21
there's still a negotiation between their lawyers and your lawyers as to whether or not you're going
28:25
to do that, what concessions have to be made, who can attend and blah, blah, and all this other stuff.
28:30
So that's interesting because he wants to do this. He wants to leave the federal government as an
28:35
employee right before the House can basically subpoena him. So we'll see how that goes. And also,
28:40
I think the timing is interesting because he's not really relevant anymore. Like, remember,
28:44
you couldn't look at a magazine cover. You couldn't look at a news station. You couldn't look at a
28:49
website without seeing his face or reading his name for literally two years. And now no one really
28:56
cares about him anymore. I mean, I'm sure there's, he's still got his fan club, which, you know,
29:00
is basically like his wife, his, you know, three cousins and like two other people that live in
29:04
Portland. But aside from that, there's not a whole lot we need from him at this point.
29:08
I know he really struggled to stay relevant. You got to make sure you get the vaccine. You got
29:12
to get the booster and you got to get like, I get it. But you know, most people at this point,
29:16
they've probably gotten COVID. They realize it wasn't that big a deal. They got the Vax. They got
29:20
the booster or they didn't get the vaccine or they some, you know, other combination. And they
29:24
just don't care at this point. They've moved on with their life. They've long sensed move on with
29:27
their life. Okay. But the big takeaway on this story is that don't expect any of the congressional
29:33
investigations that will likely come at some point next year. Don't expect those investigations to
29:38
turn up with anything because Anthony Fauci is a made man. So I'm obviously talking about that in
29:45
terms of, you know, like, you know, organized crime and different things like that mafia,
29:49
you know, there are made men. These are people that are essentially untouchable because it looks
29:54
very much so like Anthony Fauci personally benefited financially from a lot of things that were happening
29:59
in and around the vaccine. Seems pretty apparent. It also seemed like he was benefiting financially
30:05
around some of the lies he was telling about gain a function research that was happening in China
30:08
at the Wuhan lab and all these different things. There are a lot of people that we will never know.
30:14
And this isn't a conspiracy theory rant. There's a lot of people that we don't know
30:18
that are pulling strings that we don't even know exist that have direct ties to Dr. Anthony Fauci.
30:24
And there's a lot of money that is traveling through all of those different tunnels. Again,
30:29
most of which that we don't even know exist. So I have no faith. And I mean, no faith at all,
30:35
that anything is going to happen to this man. Now, here's the thing. I'm not rooting for that.
30:39
I'm rooting for the truth to come out. And if it's true that he did something nefarious and evil and
30:44
illegal, I would hope that he would be punished for that because justice is a big deal. But I don't
30:50
think we're ever going to get there. There are going to be people that love Anthony Fauci. They're
30:54
going to think he's a hero of the Republic. And then there's going to be people that revile him
30:58
until the day that he dies. So it just kind of is what it is at this point.

31:33
backyard is hiring or has hired a pro critical race theory, diversity, equity and inclusion firm
31:39
to train its teachers. So the setting for the story is Deer Creek School District in central
31:43
Oklahoma. So Deer Creek School District is located in parts of Oklahoma and Logan counties in central
31:48
Oklahoma. Essentially, it's Oklahoma City. So if I drive basically 10 minutes west from my house,
31:53
so I'm pointing the direction of the school district. It is 10 minutes west of my house. I'm in I'm
31:57
basically right in that school district. So this is the second time that I've talked about this
32:01
specific school district on my show. So if they sound familiar, you go back to episode 243 of
32:05
this website, it's called nor of this podcast, rather, it's called normalizing pedophilia,
32:09
your kids classroom and library. And on that one, I'm trying to remember all the details. But
32:12
basically it was a I got the kindergarten list of books that were in the classroom. And there were
32:17
some very, very troubling books that were in the kindergarten class of a school that is literally
32:23
10 minutes away from my house. So I'm going to read this. This is according to Oklahoma Council
32:27
of public affairs. The Deer Creek School District has hired the Oklahoma Center for Community
32:32
and Justice, the OCCJ to provide up to 13 workshops whose objectives include a focus on diversity,
32:38
inclusion, implicit bias, and inclusive leadership. Notably, a blog post on the OCCJ's website touts
32:44
critical race theory as an important means of learning and education that acknowledges our
32:48
country's history of colonization and enslavement. The OCCJ blog also appears to tout Marxism.
32:54
Records show one Deer Creek official involved in the hiring of OCCJ also serves on OCCJ's board.
33:00
Another Deer Creek official involved in the review process is now running as a Democratic
33:04
candidate for statewide office. And although Deer Creek signed a contract with OCCJ last
33:09
December, this would be December of 2021, that indicated the organization would provide 13
33:13
workshops. OCCJ has yet to conduct any workshops for the school. So more on that later. Back to
33:19
the article here. OCCJ was selected by the district's diversity inclusion committee,
33:24
invented by me, the Deer Creek administrative team is working with OCCJ leadership and trainers
33:29
to develop training for teachers specific to the needs of the district wrote Deer Creek Superintendent
33:33
Jason Perez. Our as our district continues to diversify, it is our objective to ensure that
33:38
our teachers are prepared to meet the varied needs of all students. The contract states that
33:43
participants in these workshops will be taught to identify specific strategies to develop equitable
33:48
classrooms and will be encouraged to identify their own conscious and unconscious biases.
33:53
The contract does not define what those terms mean in practice. The OCCJ blog states that several
33:59
of the organization's programs address critical theories by seeking to interrupt the automatic
34:03
consciousness that determines what is right or the truth. For example, both young people and
34:09
adults who partake in OCCJ programs are encouraged to examine their identities, seeking examples of
34:14
both privilege and lack of privilege. The members of Deer Creek schools diversity and inclusion
34:19
committee include 11 teachers. Now I'm actually going to read these people's names, because
34:22
here in a second, whenever I get to a call to action, if you know these people, you're going to want
34:25
to know this. So the members of Deer Creek school diversity and inclusion committee include 11
34:29
teachers that Sydney Barton, Bob Boone, Adriana Chavez, Amber Davis, Brandon Keever, Rebecca King,
34:36
Christy Kringlin, Jenna Nelson, Sydney Rashidzada, Paula Reed and Holly Sapp. Five Deer Creek
34:42
administrators also served on the diversity and inclusion committee. That's Chris Culver,
34:46
Michelle Edson, Mark Phillips, Christy Von Dorn, and Sherry Verable, and did two as did two members
34:52
of the Deer Creek school board at the time. That's Kelly Lay and Andy Nieves. One of the
34:57
teachers who served on the committee that selected OCCJ, Jenna Nelson, has since filed as a Democratic
35:01
candidate for state superintendent of public instruction. On February the 12 of 2022, Nelson
35:06
claimed that CRT is not a part of Oklahoma schools and dismiss concerns that many CRT concepts are
35:11
now being relabeled as social emotional learning or SEL. No OCCJ or OCCJ materials associated with
35:19
Deer Creek teacher workshops are currently available. Although the contract calls for OCCJ to provide
35:24
13 trainings, none have occurred. Okay. So I know that was somewhat lengthy, but I wanted to make
35:29
sure that you guys got that information. So again, at this point, we don't know if these trainings
35:36
have been put into place yet. It's being reported that none of these trainings have occurred,
35:40
but apparently thousands of dollars have gone from the Deer Creek school district to OCCJ
35:45
in order to do these things. So I know I've got a sizable audience here in Oklahoma,
35:49
and I know there are people listening to this that have kids in the Deer Creek school district.
35:53
So if that is you, Deer Creek public school parents, push back on this before it's too late
36:00
because there have been school districts that have been able to sneak things in because parents
36:06
knew something was coming, but you know, is this the hill to die on? I don't guess so. Let's just
36:11
kind of let this one slide. But if you don't like the sound of some of that nonsense, like
36:17
teachers learning about implicit bias and about their privilege, and if you assume that that's
36:22
probably going to trickle down to your children, perhaps you should say something. Maybe you should
36:28
demand a meeting with the president of your school and make sure your kid's teacher is there
36:32
and make sure they know the consequences and no, I don't mean physical. Make sure they know the
36:36
consequences. If these things actually go down, you should demand a meeting with the superintendent
36:42
of Deer Creek public schools, Jason Perez, to talk about this. Hey, why wasn't the rest of
36:48
the parents brought into this conversation about spending literally our tax dollars,
36:52
because we live in this district on this nonsense that we don't want in the classroom and get an
36:56
explanation. And if you keep doing that, and if you get 10 other parents from your classroom,
37:01
and they all go in individually, first time is the mom, second time is the dad, you do it this
37:06
week and then you do it next week and the week after that, there's going to be enough negative
37:09
attention on this. They're probably going to pull the contract because again, these people that are
37:13
doing this are cowards. They're zealots. They're left wing zealots, but they are cowards at the
37:18
same time. They're not expecting pushback and they're, they're expecting a little bit of pushback,
37:23
but if there's a little pushback, they can just write those people off as bigots and they don't
37:26
need to worry about it anymore. Okay. But for you, it's a big deal and you should treat it as such.
37:32
So my big takeaway on this one is Marxist DEI pro CRT zealots are coming for your school next.
37:40
Wherever you're listening to this, most of my audiences here in the United States,
37:44
it does not matter what community you live in. This is coming for you. Don't get lulled into this,
37:50
you know, false sense of security like me when you live in Oklahoma where every county votes red
37:55
in every single national election. Don't get rocked to sleep guys. This stuff is happening.
38:01
It is happening and they will keep doing it until they get significant enough pushback.
38:08
Or unless you have an unbelievably great governor that is going to make sure to put laws in place
38:12
that prevent this, but you see these zealots from these organizations, they're going to do
38:17
everything that they can to twist words around in order to serve their agenda. And you see this
38:22
all the time with critical race theory, because you'll see these people say, no, no, come on.
38:25
That's crazy. Do you even see the words critical race theory in this booklet? It doesn't say
38:31
critical race theory. It says this or it says that they're changing the names of it because they
38:37
know CRT has a negative ring to it and a negative connotation. So they're talking about social
38:42
emotional learning. Doesn't that sound good? SEL social emotional learning. Oh, I guess our kids
38:48
are just going to learn how to interact with each other. What could possibly go wrong until you
38:52
look at the content, it's like, whoa, never mind. This is incredibly nefarious. I don't like it,
38:57
but they're going to continue to do this. So even if you have a dutiful governor that is putting
39:04
great laws in place to prevent these things from happening in the classroom, these zealots have to
39:08
continue to get their worldview into the brains of your children. So you have to be paying attention
39:13
if you will have your kids in public school. Now, as I say all the time, I think that there are two
39:19
options, vetted private Christian school or homeschool, because your first dedication and focus should
39:27
be on your family, not the greater community. And you know, not, you know, the schools that they
39:33
go to and the sports they might play and all those different things, it is to the overall
39:37
development of your little people into big people. And again, you can't just depend on them having
39:44
a cross, you know, on the wall on the lobby and say, Oh, that's fine. You have to make sure you vet
39:48
these Christian schools. You need to walk into these Christian schools before you go there and
39:52
believe me, I'm going to be doing this very, very soon. Where you walk in and you talk to teachers
39:56
and administrators and principals and you say, okay, little boy walks in and says he's a girl.
40:01
How do you handle that? Okay, a kid comes in and says, Hey, he thinks he's homosexual or bisexual.
40:07
How do you handle that? Hey, a kid comes in and says he wants to acknowledge his white privilege
40:13
in front of the entire class during show and tell. What do you do? See what they say and make
40:18
sure you're recording it. But again, guys, this is something that is a major issue that we all
40:23
need to be worried about and you can't be asleep at the wheel. Again, COVID woke a whole bunch of
40:28
people up woke a whole bunch of people with their kids in public school up to the nonsense that
40:33
they're being taught. They're not focused on math, reading, writing, history, their focus on a
40:39
worldview. And they need to crank out as many of these kids thinking this worldview is possible,
40:44
then they're going to send them to higher education where they basically stamp at home.
40:48
And then who knows? At that point, what's going to happen to the country when these people have
40:52
literally been marinated in this Marxist demonic ideology for multiple decades? It's going to be
40:58
hard to overcome. All right, guys, for let's go. We are going to do a quick resilience boost
41:01
