This is Undaunted Life, a man's podcast.
0:23
I'm your host, Kyle Thompson.
0:25
Let's get into it.
0:27
Or even the son of man came not to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom
0:31
for many.
0:32
That is Mark 1045.
0:33
Keep that in mind today.
0:34
Guys, as always, we're so thankful that you're here and we're very, very thankful to
0:36
our donors.
0:37
If you're not familiar with this, if you're new to the show, we are basically kept completely
0:41
afloat by our donors.
0:42
So if you are a donor to us, if you go to our donation website, whether that's a one-time
0:45
donation or a monthly donation, you guys are why we can pull off things like this podcast.
0:50
You guys are why we can do some of the new things that we're going to be doing.
0:53
I know I keep teasing this new program, but guys that are looking to really, really step
0:57
up spiritually, mentally and physically, guys with men's groups, fathers with sons, those
1:01
types of things, we got a lot of stuff that we're hoping to announce here in the next
1:04
couple of months.
1:05
It's because of you guys.
1:06
And also, we do like to do unique things for you guys to give you a chance to help us
1:11
raise some money for operations.
1:13
And so if you know anything about Undaunted Life, you know we like sharp, pointy things
1:17
like knives, right?
1:18
So we love Steelison knives, the custom knives that they make.
1:20
There's some other brands that we really like and we really support.
1:22
Our friends over at Montana knife company, okay, they have really hooked us up.
1:28
Okay.
1:29
So if you know anything about Montana knife company, you know that their brand has absolutely
1:31
exploded over the last couple of years.
1:34
And it's almost impossible to get your hands on one of their limited edition knives before
1:38
they're completely sold out.
1:39
So they do drops every, I think Thursday or Friday.
1:41
And I mean, they sell out in three or four minutes, no matter what it is, whether it's
1:45
a hunting knife or a culinary set or whatever.
1:47
But Undaunted Life, a man's podcast alum, Josh Smith, the guy who founded Montana knife
1:52
company, him and his team wanted to help undo life, raise some money for our 2024 operations.
1:57
So we are raffling off an amazing knife and two Montana knife company branded bills hats,
2:04
which will go to one lucky donor.
2:05
Okay.
2:06
So let's talk a little bit about Josh at Montana knife company.
2:10
So he wanted to create whenever he was first getting into creating knives, he wanted to
2:14
build the ultimate kind of do it all knife.
2:17
So he wanted it to be, you know, light and small enough to where you could pack it in
2:21
for a hunt.
2:22
It wanted to be durable enough to where if you're like field dressing, a moose or an
2:25
elk or something like that, you could take it with you.
2:28
You could gut an animal, you can cape an animal, you can skin an animal, you can debone an
2:31
animal and do it all with one knife as opposed carrying multiple knives.
2:34
And that's how he created this knife right here, which is the black foot.
2:38
Okay.
2:39
So this is the very, very first knife that was created by Montana knife company and Josh
2:43
Smith, this knife right here.
2:45
And so this remains his go to blade whenever he goes out on big hunts.
2:48
So this is the black foot 2.0 magna cut edition.
2:52
So it's a three and a half inch blade length.
2:54
It's a G 10 bulletproof handle.
2:56
This entire thing is 100% made in America made in French town, Montana.
3:01
It's hand finished by Josh Smith, who is a master bladesmith.
3:03
He actually was the youngest master bladesmith ever when he got his master blade Smith designation.
3:09
This is magna cut stainless steel.
3:11
It's got this Montana knife company exclusive kydex locking sheath.
3:16
He's meant for external carry for easy accessibility, but also there's a retention screw on this
3:20
for a custom lock.
3:22
And then so, and then so that's the knife.
3:24
Okay.
3:25
So let me put the knife away without cutting myself.
3:26
Okay.
3:27
Boom.
3:28
That's that.
3:29
And then we've got these two hats right here.
3:30
So if you go to their website, you see, they got a lot of awesome hats.
3:31
So these are a couple of their different trucker hat things and their branded bill.
3:34
So you guys know those are like the best hats in the world.
3:36
That's why we make our hats with branded bills.
3:38
So here's the skinny on the raffle.
3:39
Okay.
3:40
So if you're listening to this right now, this applies to you.
3:43
So any person that donates $25 through our donation website, which is in the show notes
3:49
between now and March 13th, that's March 13th, 2024 between now between you listening to
3:54
this and March 13th and you put the word knife in the comments section.
3:59
Okay.
4:00
That's very important.
4:01
Put knife in the comments section on the donation.
4:02
This will automatically get your name entered into the randomized drawing for the knife,
4:07
which we will do.
4:08
Okay.
4:09
So every $25 that you donate, we've done a lot of these before.
4:11
So you guys get the point, but every $25 that you donate equals one spot in the raffle.
4:15
Okay.
4:16
So if you donate a hundred bucks, your name goes in the randomizer four times.
4:19
If you donated a thousand bucks, your name goes in the randomizer 40 times, so on and
4:22
so forth.
4:23
So and also just as a thank you to our current monthly donors, regardless of how long or
4:27
how much you've been donating, we will be putting your name into the randomizer twice.
4:31
Just as a thank you for being a current monthly donor.
4:34
So current donors, you can also make additional donations to have your name in the raffle
4:38
more.
4:39
Obviously we're okay with that.
4:40
We'll take a video of us doing the randomizer and we'll post that on Instagram and announce
4:43
the winner on our show on March the 14th.
4:46
So on Thursday, March the 14th, be looking out for the winner and also we'll reach out
4:50
to the winner individually.
4:51
And as a bonus here, a portion of the proceeds will go to support the local pregnancy resource
4:56
center here in my town.
4:58
That's the Hope pregnancy center.
4:59
The very first knife giveaway we did from Stevenson eyes, which were so thankful for those
5:02
guys and everything they've done for us.
5:05
We did part of the proceeds went to the Hope pregnancy center and it was a sizable donation.
5:10
I think it was like 2,400 bucks that we were able to donate to them and that goes to pay
5:14
for women to get ultrasounds where they can see their baby and the odds of them keeping
5:18
their baby if they see the ultrasound goes up exponentially.
5:21
And so we want to do everything we can to support life and we will do it right here in
5:24
our community.
5:25
So that is it.
5:26
The Blackfoot 2.0, you can check out on the show notes how to get to our donation page
5:29
or just go to undaunted dot life backslash donate.
5:33
So today's episode got to take a deep breath here because this could have been called the
5:37
ever expanding crazy episode because this is what happens when I get a backlog on my notes
5:43
on my phone.
5:44
Okay, so we've had a lot of great interviews coming up and then I'm going to be out of
5:47
town here pretty soon and so I'm going to be not in studio and so I've got a lot of great
5:51
interviews coming up.
5:52
And so what that creates is a backlog with quick hitters.
5:55
So there's a lot of things that I've wanted to talk about and even as I prepared this
5:59
episode last week, there were more things that came up and so I had to add a lot to it.
6:03
So this might be a record.
6:05
This might be a record long solo episode.
6:06
I'm going to say that from the very beginning because I just intended to do quick hitters
6:10
and then the he gets a Super Bowl ad happen.
6:13
And so it's like I'm going to have to give that a little bit more time.
6:15
But here's the quick hitters that we're going to hit today.
6:17
Okay.
6:18
A pro Palestine jihadist attempting a mass shooting at Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church, pastor
6:23
also begged saying that Christian should attend gay weddings, co-president Biden co co-president
6:29
Biden conducting a disastrous news conference after his doj let him off the hook from his

Fauci finally admitting that the six feet apart COVID rule wasn't based in science nor reality.
6:47
Ron DeSantis suspending his campaign for president, a Tennessee jury convicting six pro life activists
6:51
of violating the face act, a 50 year old Canadian teacher competing against teenage girls and
6:56
swimming competitions and changing in the same locker rooms.
6:59
The mother of a school shooter being convicted of manslaughter, the man that beheaded a satanic
7:03
idle statue and Iowa State Capitol building being charged with a hate crime to Navy seals
7:09
dying during a mission off the coast of Somalia, three US troops being killed in a drone attack
7:13
on a US base in Jordan, Ohio lawmakers overriding the veto of Governor Mike DeWine and allowing
7:18
for the ban of so called sex change surgeries for minors, cases of teens suffering from
7:23
cannabis induced psychosis going through the roof, the state of Oregon reversing their
7:27
liberal drug law due to a stark increase in overdoses, Christian rapper LaCray calling
7:32
for reparations, Elon Musk announcing the first implantation of a neural link chip into
7:36
a human brain, the state of Alabama executing death row inmate Kenneth Eugene Smith by nitrogen
7:41
hypoxia, Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel stepping down and then by far
7:47
my favorite story of the year.
7:50
So I'm not going to say exactly what it is.
7:52
I'll kind of leave it up to suspense because as you can tell, we're going to go through
7:55
a lot of stuff today.
7:56
This is going to be well over an hour long episode is going to be well worth your time
7:58
though.
7:59
But if you stick around to the end, you will get my favorite news story of 2022 so far.
8:03
So before we get going, big drink of water.
8:07
Let's get after it.
8:08
We need to talk about the he gets a Super Bowl hat.
8:10
Okay.
8:11
So in terms of he gets us, as I told you, I have a quick hitters notes on my phone section
8:16
and I've got stuff that I'll just take notes on.
8:17
Now there's things that I know that I'm going to need to address soon because the news cycle
8:21
is going to move on.
8:22
And then I've got a list of things that it's like, okay, if I'm running out of things,
8:24
talk about or if there's something that, you know, I kind of have a little bit of space,
8:27
I can give attention to it.
8:28
So the he gets us organization was on that list, but it was kind of on the bottom of
8:32
the list like, Hey, you know, at some point I'm going to have to kind of give some attention
8:35
to this organization, figure out what they're about, figure out what their campaigns are
8:38
about and all those types of things because I hadn't given them a lot of attention, but
8:43
I had heard some negative grumblings about it, but I didn't really know what was going
8:46
on.
8:47
But then I'm at a Super Bowl party this weekend with some good buddies and we're all sitting
8:50
around watching the games, our kids are around, and then this ad pops up for he gets us.
8:56
And after the ad was done, I'm sitting there with everybody, all these people are in my
9:00
Sunday school class, so it's husbands and wives and everybody kind of had the same reaction,
9:06
which was like, what in the world was that?
9:08
Like, what was the point of that?
9:10
That was weird.
9:11
And again, I'm fairly extreme guy, I have some extreme opinions, but these are some
9:15
very conservative, very, like, kind of chill people and they're just like, that was really
9:18
strange.
9:19
I don't think I like that.
9:20
Okay.
9:21
Now, in terms of this ad, I'm going to break down this ad, but I will, I like to advocate
9:27
for people being able to speak for themselves, but and also to take people out their word,
9:31
right?
9:32
So I've, as I've talked about before, maybe we should listen to these modern-day jihadists
9:35
whenever they try to kill a bunch of people that no, we're not killing you because of
9:38
your foreign policy, of your nation, we're killing you because you're an apostate or
9:42
you're the infidel and we just want to kill you because we hate you kind of a thing.
9:45
So what I'm going to do in this podcast episode, at least here at the beginning on this, is
9:48
I'm going to describe the ad.
9:50
Okay.
9:51
So it's in the show notes.
9:52
I can't put it here on YouTube.
9:53
I don't think I have access to it or permission to do that.
9:56
And again, it's just images anyway, so you're going to need to go look at it for yourself.
9:58
So you can go and check that out if you're one of the 14 people in the world that hasn't
10:02
seen it yet.
10:03
And then I'm going to actually read an article that's directly from the hegetsus.com website,
10:07
which is explaining the heart behind this ad.
10:11
And I'm just going to read that article.
10:12
It's an entirety.
10:13
It's a short one.
10:14
And then I'll give you a breakdown and some thoughts to ponder, but I will tell you this
10:16
from the beginning.
10:18
If you absolutely hate, he gets us and everything about this organization and you hate the ad,
10:26
please stick with me until the end till the end of my summary and my thoughts here.
10:30
And if you love he gets us.
10:32
If you think it's the greatest thing ever and like, this is just a way to get Jesus's
10:35
name out there and all everything is flour and rainbows, whatever, please stick with
10:38
me to the end, okay, please, please stick with me to the end.
10:43
So let's talk about the ad.
10:44
So again, go watch the ad if you haven't seen it before, but it's a bunch of pictures taken
10:47
by a photographer named Julia Fullerton, a baton, okay.
10:51
And so these look like AI images, I'm not exactly sure, but this is, you know, an artistic
10:55
rendering of different things.
10:56
And it's depicting a bunch of scenes where someone is washing someone else's feet and
11:00
it's set to music, okay?
11:02
So I'm going to do my best to be absolutely fair and just described you what I'm seeing
11:04
in the pictures without commentary, okay?
11:07
So let's go through the different pictures.
11:08
These are the pictures in order.
11:09
There's a young man with bleach hair and tattoos, washing the feet of a man that looks to be
11:13
his grandfather or perhaps his father.
11:15
There's a Hispanic cop washing the feet of what looks like a black BLM activist or a
11:19
black criminal, something like that in a dark alley.
11:22
There's a preppy looking girl washing the feet of a punk kind of golf looking girl in
11:26
a high school hallway.
11:28
There's an old white man washing the feet of an old American Indian man.
11:32
There's an older woman washing the feet of a younger woman outside of a building that
11:35
says family planning clinic on it on the side of it.
11:37
And so we also see some peaceful pro-life protesters in the background.
11:41
I guess we can assume that this young lady has just killed her baby via abortion.
11:45
We see an alcoholic woman having her feet washed by presumably her daughter.
11:50
We have a white male oil field worker washing the feet of an Asian anti-oil activist.
11:55
We see a white suburban woman washing the feet of a Hispanic immigrant that's holding
11:59
a baby.
12:00
We see a white suburban woman washing the feet of a Muslim woman wearing a hijab.
12:04
We see a young black woman washing the feet of a young brown woman and they seem to be
12:07
in the middle of a political protest between conservatives and progressives.
12:11
We see an old white man and an old black man sitting on a porch looks to be out in the
12:15
country somewhere with their feet in the bucket of water together.
12:18
We see an old white Catholic priest washing the feet of a gay black man.
12:23
So that's the final image.
12:24
And then we see words pop up in the ad for the first time and they read Jesus didn't
12:28
teach hate.
12:29
He washed feet.
12:30
He gets us.
12:31
All of us Jesus.
12:34
He gets us.com backslash.
12:36
Love your neighbor.
12:37
Okay.
12:38
So that's the ad you've obviously seen the ad, but now I want to go to the article on
12:40
their website entitled what foot washing or what is foot washing and what does it symbolize.
12:46
So I'm reading this directly from their website and reading in its entirety.
12:49
You can check it out in the show notes for yourself.
12:50
Okay.
12:51
And that link also has a link to the video.
12:54
All the images in the spot were shot by intentional fine art photographer Julia Fullerton
12:58
Batton.
12:59
As we thought about what to do for this year's commercial, we reflected on our 2023 TV spot
13:03
love your enemies.
13:05
That commercial was all about hate and division.
13:07
Ultimately, it was about pride.
13:09
Pride says I'm right and you're wrong.
13:11
Every image depicted people in a state of prideful contention, whether it be politicians
13:15
yelling in a debate or parents fighting at a youth football game.
13:18
So we thought that maybe this year we should focus on the thematic inverse of last year's
13:22
commercial, one built on the premise of love and unity.
13:25
And with an upcoming election year that will be filled with division and derision, we decided
13:29
to focus on one of the most important directives given by Jesus.
13:33
Love your neighbor.
13:34
As we explore creative ideas, we were called the story of Jesus washing the disciples feet
13:38
and realize this was the perfect example of how we should treat one another, even those
13:42
people with whom we don't see eye to eye.
13:45
Jesus had washed Peter's feet, a loyal friend who would publicly deny that he knew Jesus
13:49
later that very night.
13:50
And even more astoundingly, Jesus washed Judas to scary its feet, the one who would betray
13:54
him for 30 pieces of silver.
13:56
So why did Jesus wash the feet of both friends and foes?
13:59
What was he teaching them then and us today?
14:02
In ancient times, many travelers traveled by foot in sandals or even barefoot.
14:06
The dusty roads and rocky trails left their feet coated with grime or caked with mud.
14:11
Upon arrival at their destination, a host would often bring a basin of water and wash
14:14
the weary traveler's feet.
14:16
It was a gesture of welcome and kindness, not to mention a practical means to keep dirt
14:20
out of the home.
14:21
And in the homes of the wealthier powerful, it was most likely done by a servant, a slave,
14:25
or the wife of the host.
14:27
But Jesus took it one step further.
14:29
During his last meal with his closest followers, the twelve disciples, Jesus retrieved a bowl,
14:33
filled it with water and began washing their feet with a rag.
14:36
But this wasn't a traditional cleaning after a road trip.
14:38
Jesus was using foot washing to emphasize a larger point, a symbol for all of his followers
14:43
to see how they should treat one another.
14:45
The disciples considered Jesus not to be their master or religious leader, but also most
14:49
even revered him as the promised Messiah, a long-awaited king who would, according to
14:54
their prophecy, deliver Israel from its oppressors.
14:57
In this time period, the Romans.
15:00
When Jesus offered to wash his disciples' feet, it was so antithetical to their way of thinking
15:04
that some initially declined his offer.
15:06
But Jesus explained, "Now that I, your Lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you should
15:10
wash one another's feet."
15:12
John 1314.
15:13
Not only was Jesus teaching them that the true leader should be willing to humble himself
15:17
for herself to serve all, but also that they should be willing to wash one another's feet.
15:22
Foot washing required humility on the part of both parties, the one willing to wash
15:26
another's feet and also the one willing to have their feet washed.
15:29
It was an act of mutual admiration.
15:32
Jesus was shedding any notion of rank or cast among his disciples.
15:36
Foot washing requires one to lower themselves even kneel before another person.
15:40
While the posture seems subservient at first, it truly represents an act of kindness and
15:45
generosity that makes the actions of the footwasher noble, and that always, that was always the
15:50
way of Jesus.
15:51
Put others first and himself last.
15:53
He had previously taught, "The greatest among you will be your servant.
15:56
For those who exalt themselves will be humbled and those who humble themselves will be exalted."
15:59
That's Matthew 2311 through 12.
16:02
He was now putting that very teaching into practice.
16:06
It was these words and actions of Jesus that inspired us.
16:09
We began to imagine a world where ideological others were willing to set their differences
16:12
aside and wash one another's feet.
16:15
How would that look?
16:16
How would our contentious world change if we washed one another's feet?
16:19
Not literally, but figuratively.
16:22
Figurative foot washing can be as simple as giving a compliment to a co-worker or paying
16:25
for a stranger's lunch.
16:26
It can also be as difficult as not responding to someone who's criticizing you or reaching
16:31
out to a strange family member.
16:33
Acts of kindness done out of humility and respect for one another could be considered
16:37
an equivalent of foot washing.
16:39
Honestly, images of people washing each other's feet look a little strange and disconcerting
16:43
because it's not part of our modern day customs, but there's also something beautiful and profound
16:48
in each image.
16:49
Our hope is that our latest commercial will stimulate both societal discussion and individual
16:53
self-reflection about who is my neighbor and how each of us can love our neighbor even
16:57
as we have differences to serve one another with more kindness and respect.
17:03
That's their ad and that's their description of why they put that ad out.
17:07
So again, didn't try to editorialize or anything as I was doing that, but there it is.
17:12
Now, I would like to do a breakdown of their about us page, but we've got so much to talk
17:18
about today.
17:19
And again, I have to be very careful with how much I use my voice.
17:21
I have some serious problems with their about us page, but there's a gal named Natasha Crane.
17:26
She did a pretty good job of breaking that down in a blog she wrote recently, which also
17:30
links to an older blog where she kind of goes through some of that.
17:33
And so I'm just going to put that in the show notes so that you guys can look at that and
17:36
I'm going to focus mainly on the ad.
17:38
So here are my problems with this ad in particular.
17:41
I have three main problems.
17:44
The first is that it plays into a bunch of this liberal progressive tropes, a bunch of
17:50
these tropes about evil, bigoted, racist, conservative white people, but it doesn't
17:56
do anything in the opposite way.
17:59
So this ad plays into the oppressor versus oppressed narrative, like to a T. And that
18:04
is based on intersectionality, which comes from cultural Marxism, right?
18:08
So let's start with one of the low key ones.
18:10
There's a preppy looking girl watching the feet of a punk rock looking girl in a high
18:14
school hallway.
18:16
Why not the punk girl watching the feet of the preppy girl?
18:19
Obviously, the message is that, oh, the preppy girl is the one that's wrong.
18:22
Like she's the one in the position of power, not the punk rock girl, right?
18:25
Even though the punk rock girl has the same feelings of negativity towards the preppy
18:29
girl, right?
18:30
So that's a low key one.
18:31
But then we see an old white man washing the feet of an old American Indian man.
18:36
Why not the Indian washing the feet of the white man?
18:39
Is the implication that somehow what was done to this man's ancestors doesn't compare
18:44
to what was done in the opposite way to the white man's ancestors.
18:48
And then there's an old, this is the last image.
18:50
This is the one that's getting the most most play.
18:53
There's an old white Catholic priest washing the feet of gay of a gay black man.
18:56
Why not a gay black man that hates Catholicism or hates all white people, something like
19:02
that, washing the feet of the old Catholic white priest?
19:05
In all this, we don't see any of the things break the normal kind of power dynamic structure.
19:10
There's never a person of color washing the feet of a white person, right?
19:14
Which is at the very least odd.
19:16
I would say it was a specific tact.
19:18
I don't think that was an oversight by them.
19:21
But then here's here's some that we didn't see that if you were thinking that this was
19:25
an ad campaign that was going to reach everybody equally, here's some things that you may have
19:30
seen, which I don't want to argue from, you know, oh, this wasn't there.
19:33
Why wasn't this there?
19:34
Because it's their ad.
19:35
They can do whatever they want.
19:36
But where's the drag queen washing the feet of a conservative political commentator?
19:42
How about a BLM activist washing the feet of a white police officer?
19:48
How about a Biden supporter watching the feet of someone wearing a MAGA hat?
19:53
Where is the picture of an abortionist washing the feet of one of the babies that they just
19:58
tore to pieces?
19:59
Where are those pictures?
20:02
They were purposely left out.
20:04
So that was one of my problems with the ad.
20:06
Another problem with the ad is it's seemingly trying to sell quote unquote Jesus to progressive
20:13
people, just, you know, obviously without the call for repentance and life change, obviously.
20:17
So simply put, where exactly is the gospel message here?
20:20
And some people are like, oh, you know, you're, you're, it's only a 60 second ad, they can't
20:23
do the entire gospel.
20:24
It's like, do you need 60 seconds to explain the gospel to people?
20:28
Because I've seen, you know, 15 second versions of TV or of like trailers for TV shows or
20:35
movies and I can get a really good idea of what the narrative is and what the point of
20:38
the movie is going to be.
20:39
Tell me you can't do that with the gospel.
20:41
That somehow you can't do that because there have been a lot of ministries that have tried
20:45
to sell Jesus to progressive people, talking about the parts of Jesus that are kind of
20:49
more hippie and kind of new age and new wave and those types of things.
20:52
And you have to ask yourself, has that worked?
20:55
But at the very end, we have to be very specific about the language they use.
20:58
This is my third problem with the ad is it weaponizes the word hate.
21:02
Because the word hate is now a tool of political liberals, leftists and progressives.
21:09
Because again, if you don't think that a little girl can become a little boy by shaving off
21:14
part of the skin on her arm and sewing it into some sort of phallic looking shape and
21:19
sewing it onto the top of her vagina, then you hate trans people and you want them to
21:24
die.
21:26
If you don't think that we should defund police because it actually does the opposite of protecting
21:30
black communities where these police need to be doing most of their policing, you hate
21:34
black people.
21:36
Also if you don't want them to get reparations for things that were never done to them by
21:40
people that never did that to them, then you still hate them.
21:45
So using the word hate was specifically put there and I didn't like that at all.
21:49
Now there's one interesting thing that I found on their website on an article titled, I forgot
21:54
the name of the title, I'll just put it in the show notes, but there was another thing
21:57
that I found that it was just it was odd whenever I read it.
22:00
So this is from our article directly from the he gets us website.
22:04
Our work represents the input from Christians who believe that Jesus is the son of God,
22:08
as well as many others who, though not Christians, share a deep admiration for the man that Jesus
22:13
was and we are deeply inspired and curious to explore his story.
22:17
We look at the biography of Jesus through a modern lens to find new relevance in often
22:22
overlooked moments and themes from his life.
22:27
So often overlooked moments like when he washed his disciples feet, literally one of the most
22:31
famous stories in all of the Bible, certainly in all the gospels.
22:35
That's kind of an odd thing to say in light of the things that you're highlighting.
22:40
But as I read that quote, I was reminded of C.S. Lewis's trilimma, which is that Jesus
22:44
of Nazareth is either liar, lunatic, or Lord, like those are the only three options.
22:50
And the reality is is you can't have deep admiration using their terminology.
22:54
You can't have deep admiration for a liar or a lunatic, like it's, it's just not possible.
23:01
When he gets us with their campaigns, they're not giving a full gospel presentation.
23:06
So they're not pointing people towards, towards Jesus to look at him as Lord either.
23:11
So again, you can't have deep admiration for a liar or lunatic.
23:14
And if you don't see him as Lord, then you have no opinion of Jesus.
23:20
So as I was going through this, and guys, I looked at hundreds of comments and hundreds
23:25
of people's opinions about this on both sides.
23:27
There were people that hated this on all sides of the issue.
23:31
And I just have some questions that I want you to ponder as you evaluate this ad and
23:35
he gets us in their campaigns overall.
23:37
First one is this as something I talked about a little bit earlier, where were the pictures
23:42
of the clearly progressive people washing the feet of the clearly conservative people?
23:46
We don't see that in any of the campaigns.
23:48
That should be at least a little bit concerning to you.
23:49
You should think about that.
23:51
Another question, if the claim is that this ad is all about mutual submission and the
23:57
act of humbly loving your neighbor and nothing at all to do with political activism, right?
24:02
Because they're, they swear they're not political activists, then why show a bunch of situations
24:06
that play into the oppressor versus oppressed narrative?
24:10
All kinds of tropes, right?
24:12
Popular kid versus not popular kid, you know, the oil field worker and the, the gal that
24:16
just wants, you know, clean, clean air and drinking water, you know, you have the abortion
24:20
scene, you have the gay scene, you have all these different things.
24:23
All that plays into oppressor oppressed.
24:25
Why did they do that?
24:27
Another question to ask is where exactly in this ad or in the article that I read, or
24:32
in anything on the he gets us website, frankly, is the full expression and preaching of the
24:37
full gospel?
24:39
Where is it?
24:41
The one that requires faith in Jesus and full repentance of our sinful lifestyles.
24:45
Where is it?
24:47
Because again, you might say, Oh, well, they can't do everything in a 60 second ad.
24:50
Okay.
24:51
Let's, let's say I were to grant that to you, there's got to be a full-throated presentation
24:54
of the gospel somewhere.
24:55
You have an entire website.
24:57
You can just type and type and type forever.
24:59
Where is it?
25:00
And I guess this next one goes back to what I was talking about during the Enneagram.
25:05
Why are so many of you so comfortable with Christians being so damn gullible?
25:10
Because a lot of Christians, you know, and I've heard from individual people that are
25:12
like, you know, maybe their wives or their husbands are like, Hey, you know, as long as
25:15
they get the name of Jesus out there, it can't be that bad.
25:17
Well, it's like, which Jesus though?
25:19
Is it hippie Jesus?
25:21
Is it the Jesus that didn't exist?
25:23
Is it the Jesus that just loves me for who I am?
25:25
It doesn't require anything of me.
25:27
There's some gullibility here that I think needs to be addressed.
25:30
And here's something that I've heard as well.
25:32
I've heard that they are trying to appeal.
25:36
So this is what I've heard about the people that he gets us that they don't care about
25:38
what conservatives believe.
25:40
They just don't.
25:41
They don't care about about conservative Christians.
25:43
They are trying to appeal to secular leftist, progressive, liberal people and to get them
25:49
interested in Jesus.
25:50
Okay.
25:51
They want them to be Jesus curious, right?
25:53
And that they will convince these people.
25:55
This is what this is what I understand of their process.
25:57
They get these people interested.
25:59
They get them to go to hegetsus.com.
26:02
And then they will convince these people to use an app or website called glue.
26:06
That's G-L-O-O glue, which will then get them into direct contact with the Bible believing
26:13
gospel centered church, where the full gospel will then be shared with them.
26:17
So that's their plan.
26:18
Get them interested in Jesus.
26:20
Get them to go to hegetsus.com.
26:22
Get them to use the app glue.
26:24
Get them connected with the gospel believing church, which begs this question, is that
26:30
a good plan?
26:32
That seems a little risky.
26:34
There seem to be some extra steps in that plan that I don't find to be too necessary.
26:40
And then it also begs a question, which is these churches that are connected with them.
26:46
How are these churches selected?
26:48
Is there a faith statement that these churches have to sign on to?
26:52
Are there theological tenets that they have to approve?
26:55
Because there is nothing on their website to suggest that.
26:59
So perhaps someone goes through this process and they do end up at a church where the Bible
27:04
is exposited and is believed, and those people here, the full-throated gospel, and that is
27:09
like a jackpot stacked on top of winning the lottery for that person.
27:13
But if there's no standard, like no explicit standard, not like, oh, we'll just pick the
27:18
churches and we'll do our best, if there's no explicit standard of, hey, if you don't
27:22
affirm these points, if you don't uphold these theological tenets, then we can't have you
27:27
on our list, then how can we be assured that people are just going to end up in a church
27:31
that leads people into deconstruction?
27:33
I think that's a fair question.
27:35
Also, why is it that seemingly the majority of the people that love this ad in these campaigns
27:42
are secular liberals and progressive Christians, which really flows in my next point, which
27:46
is, is it possible that all of the normal voices that many of you trust in Christian
27:53
circles or conservative circles or conservative Christian circles?
27:56
Is it possible that all these people are wrong about he gets us?
28:02
Because there are a lot of people that have it at the very least expressed concern about
28:06
he gets us in these ads, all the way up to complete condemnation.
28:10
So there's Lisa Childers, John Cooper, Matt Walsh, Ali Bestucky, Ben Shapiro, Candace
28:15
Owens, Joel Berry, Samuel Say, Megan Basham, Gavin McGinnis, Charlie Kirk, Darrell Harrison,
28:22
Seth Gruber, Andrew T. Walker, Robbie Starbuck, John Root, Steve Deese, Jason Whitlock,
28:28
Pastor Ryan Bisconti, Pastor Tom Askel, Matt Grassmeyer from the Forging Table, Ryan Horn
28:32
from the Forging Table, Jake Winkler from the Forging Table.
28:35
Like there are a lot of people in add me to that list.
28:38
I'm skeptical about what's happening here.
28:41
And actually in our Forging Table group thread, group text thread, Jake Winkler actually
28:47
posted this and this goes back to the scripture that I talked about earlier for even the son
28:50
of man came not to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.
28:54
That's Mark 10 45.
28:56
And this was his commentary.
28:57
This is Jake Winkler again.
28:59
In order to pay a ransom, it requires that the person held considers themselves a prisoner.
29:03
There are several people in that ad who consider their actions to be freedom itself.
29:07
The gravity of the humble washing of the feet for someone who bought your freedom should
29:11
not result in confidence in your behavior, but great humility as the apostles showed
29:15
when Jesus washed their feet.
29:17
You should feel unworthy of such an act, and I didn't see that reflected in the ad.
29:22
So I give all that commentary to get down to my ultimate thoughts.
29:25
So here are my thoughts ultimately, and it's really twofold.
29:30
This is either a benevolent campaign that is being executed terribly, or this is purposefully
29:38
a leftist Trojan horse.
29:40
So let me explain what I mean, the first point, a benevolent campaign that is being executed
29:44
terribly.
29:45
If you love he gets us, please hang on.
29:47
Okay.
29:48
There might be a little bit of a swerve here at the end, so just hang on.
29:52
I'm going to be giving you my following perspective as someone that is lit as do she has a sounds
29:56
that is literally an expert in crafting language and narrative.
29:59
Okay.
30:00
So my undergraduate work was on corporate communication and leadership.
30:03
I did a very sales and presentation heavy MBA.
30:05
I've done a lot of sales in my career, and I've done a lot of different sales training,
30:09
different programs.
30:10
I read a ton of books on marketing and language and copywriting, all that.
30:13
Okay.
30:14
So for this show, I've stared at a blank screen and turned it into an hour's worth of content
30:21
almost 600 times so far just on this podcast.
30:24
So yes, I am an expert at crafting language.
30:28
If the people at he gets us really are, but evidently just wanting to bring people to
30:33
the feet of the real Jesus by preaching the full gospel eventually, but by preaching the
30:38
full gospel and this ad is the resulting deliverable, then they literally need to fire every single
30:45
person in their marketing department.
30:46
They need to fire all their copywriters.
30:48
They need to fire all their editors and all their strategists, all of them.
30:52
They have to fire all of them because they're missing the mark because when you're crafting
30:57
a message that you want to get out to the marketplace, whether through a book or a podcast
31:03
or a sermon or a blog or a video or a marketing campaign, whatever, there are two realities
31:09
concerning the messages that you have to reckon with.
31:13
The message that here's the first reality, the message that you want your audience to
31:18
come away with.
31:19
And then the second is the message that the audience actually comes away with.
31:23
So again, there's the message that you want your audience to come away with.
31:27
And then the message that the audience actually comes away with.
31:31
So if all the gospel centered conservative Christians in your potential audience think
31:35
that your message is nonsensical, drivel, and all the secular leftists and progressive
31:39
Christians love your message, the minus suggests that you, you didn't just miss the target,
31:44
but the rifle actually blew up in your hand when you tried to shoot it.
31:48
So that's, that's one option that they're just, it's a good campaign made by good people
31:53
that is being executed terribly.
31:54
And the second option is that it's a purposeful leftist Trojan horse.
31:59
Now this is obviously the more nefarious of the two options.
32:02
And I can't say one way or another that this is the case at the moment.
32:06
I can say that it doesn't look great.
32:08
I can say that I'm very concerned.
32:10
And again, as I say all the time, for these Marxist satanic ideologies to take hold in
32:15
our society, we need to tie two kinds of people really.
32:18
We need conscious nefarious actors, number one, and we need useful idiots.
32:23
We need conscious nefarious actors trying to put all these things in there for their
32:27
negative satanic purposes, and then we'd need just a bunch of dopes to go along to get along.
32:31
We need a bunch of, you know, I want to be known for what I'm for, not what I'm against
32:34
Christians.
32:35
Just go along with it.
32:37
But here we've made it all the way to the end of my commentary on this.
32:40
This is why I want to tell you, there are two men that I know that I personally know love
32:48
and trust and these men know the people personally at he gets us.
32:55
Now I'll leave these two different men, nameless for now, okay?
32:59
But these two people have a personal relationship and have sat in meetings and met with the
33:05
top people that he gets us.
33:07
Okay.
33:08
Now, as I was going through my comments for this week, these two people, I talked to
33:12
them individually.
33:13
I talked to both of them yesterday, actually, these two people separately assured me that
33:18
he gets us is a legit organization run and funded by Bible believing gospel centered
33:25
Christians that just want to bring the gospel to the masses.
33:28
They assured me of that.
33:31
Now, I have no reason at this time to question the judgment of these two men as it pertains
33:38
to their evaluation of Christian organizations.
33:41
Now, obviously, if they, you know, cosign an organization at some point that organization
33:45
blows up and is awful, then that's going to kind of tinge the way I look at their recommendations
33:49
moving forward.
33:50
But as of right now, both of these men that I've known for a while, they don't have any
33:56
problems with what's happening because of what they know that's going on behind the scenes
34:00
behind the website, behind the ads.
34:02
So because of that, and because of that alone, I am actually choosing to give he gets us the
34:09
benefit of the doubt.
34:12
I'm choosing to do that, I don't want to believe me, I definitely don't want to, but
34:17
I'm choosing and these two men didn't ask me to give them them to have it out.
34:21
They just gave me their perspective, which led to me saying, okay, I will put my pessimism
34:27
aside.
34:28
I will put my concerns aside and I will choose to give them the benefit of the doubt.
34:31
Now, it's an incredibly small benefit of the doubt in light of everything that I've said
34:35
about it up to this point, but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt nonetheless.
34:40
But I am going to be up their butts, this is he gets us butts, I'm going to be up their
34:47
butts with a microscope from here on out, because again, before Sunday, they were just
34:53
like an extra thing on my list that I would, you know, look out eventually.
34:56
Now they're at the forefront of my attention.
35:00
So anything that they say or do or put out in the public from now on, I am going to comb
35:06
through it and be incredibly discerning with the things that they put out into the
35:10
public now because of my concerns, but what I'm going to do on what I would encourage everyone
35:15
listening to this right now to do is let's give them the benefit of the doubt.
35:20
Let's give them a little bit of rope.
35:22
Hopefully they use that rope to save people and not hang them, but we'll just kind of
35:26
have to see.
35:27
Hey guys, real quick, as you've likely heard me talk about on the show before, it took
35:31
me forever before I started taking supplements of any kind.
35:34
I was always nervous about taking like whey protein and creatine or really anything beyond
35:38
that because I was just afraid of what was in the product and if it was going to like
35:42
give me cancer someday or something like that.
35:44
And I was always scared of these companies, these supplement companies, just cutting corners
35:48
and using low quality products and eventually putting things in their products that could
35:52
cause problems for me and my body.
35:54
So I've always wanted to partner up with an American company that uses high quality ingredients
35:58
in their supplements.
35:59
And that's why I want to remind you guys that we are partnered with Jocko Fuel.
36:03

I love the peach flavor myself.
36:14
They also make whey protein powder.
36:15
The banana cream is my favorite.
36:17
They make energy drinks.
36:18
The Jocko Go energy drinks.
36:20

36:24
flavors.
36:25
I also use their creole oil, their creatine, their vitamin D and also their sleep aids.
36:29
And they make a bunch of other stuff like ready to drink protein, protein cookies, which
36:33
are actually really delicious, my boys even like them pre workout powder and much, much

37:02
First one here, a pro Palestine jihadist attempting a mass shooting at Joel Osteen's
37:06
Lakewood church.
37:07
This is according to Laura Loomer on Twitter.
37:09
This was actually posted on Tuesday this week or on Monday this week, rather law enforcement
37:13
sources say the transgender shooter who opened fire at Joel Osteen's Lakewood church in Houston,
37:17
Texas had free Palestine written on the AR 15 they used to carry out the shooting seen
37:22
and buried that fact, that key fact at the bottom of their article, Joel Osteen is a well-known
37:27
Christian Zionist and his church was attacked by a pro Palestinian radical.
37:31
Osteen has been very supportive of Israel and so has his mega church.
37:34
The shooter's legal name is Janice Escalante Moreno, and she went by the name Jeffrey.
37:40
Also it looks like law enforcement is fudging the criminal record.
37:44
Notice it says Moreno's place of birth is El Salvador, but then it also says that she
37:48
is white and non Hispanic.
37:49
So there's a lot to take away from this just in general.
37:51
I am very glad that the worst thing didn't happen.
37:56
Okay.
37:57
This was killed by two off duty police officers.
38:01
The five year old boy that she was with that was with her apparently is in critical condition
38:05
right now.
38:06
So certainly we're praying for that young man.
38:08
He obviously had had nothing to do with this situation.
38:10
He was just dragged in there by a crazy person.
38:12
Obviously this person is a pro Palestine jihadist, but then in addition to that, they think that
38:17
they're the opposite gender.
38:18
So this is a person with serious serious mental illness.
38:21
This is just the latest example of a transgender person trying to do a mass shooting this time
38:25
targeting churches.
38:26
And so my big takeaway on this and with most, most of these today, guys, these quick hitters,
38:30
I'm going to try to be brief and get to the big takeaway just so we can get to the meat
38:32
of the story, but my big takeaway on this one, if everyone listened to dummies like Shane
38:37
Clayborn, there is no telling how many innocent people would have been killed by this jihadist.
38:42
So Shane Clayborn, if you don't know, he's a Christian anti gun pacifist activist that
38:47
goes around the country, goes on tour to literally dozens of people.
38:51
And he convinces these dunderheaded morons, these Christians to give up their firearms,
38:56
saying that just the existence of firearms in the hands of anybody is a negative thing.
39:01
So let's say all these people at his church, the tens of thousands of people that go to
39:05
all of his services, let's say those people believed people like Shane Clayborn and nobody
39:10
was armed.
39:11
Well, this person just walks in with an AR 15 and we don't know how many rounds of ammunition
39:15
they had on them and now it's fishing a barrel.
39:18
For now, you're trying to fight someone that has a AR 15 and you're using your wimpy little
39:22
wrists and fists.
39:24
So I am so glad that there were two sheep dogs in there that acted.
39:29
And hopefully the only person that dies because of this incident is the shooter is the person
39:33
that intended harm.
39:35
And hopefully this little boy makes it.
39:36
I really, really hope he pulls through.
39:38
Hopefully by the time this is released, I'm recording this on Tuesday.
39:40
It's releasing on Thursday.
39:41
Hopefully by the time we get a great update on this young man, but I'm so glad those
39:44
sheep dogs were there and ready to go.
39:47
Quick at her here pass her out her bag saying that Christians should attend gay wedding.
39:51
So this is according to Christianity today.
39:54
During the interview, during an interview last fall, bag recounted talking to a woman
39:58
whose grandchild was getting married to someone who is transgender, which is essentially a
40:01
gay wedding.
40:02
Begg who opposed the same sex wedding suggested she should go to the wedding and bring a gift.
40:07
By doing so, she would show her love for her grandchild, even though she did not approve
40:11
of the wedding.
40:12
Quote, your love for them may catch them off guard, but your absence will simply reinforce
40:17
the fact that they said these people are always what I thought judgmental critical unprepared
40:21
to countenance anything.
40:22
Unquote, the evangelical pastor said he added that Christian should have to take some risks
40:28
in order to show love to those around them.
40:31
So as Joby said last week in our interview on the ask capacitor, I'm just like Joby,
40:35
I'm a big fan of Alsterbeck.
40:37
The man is faithfully served Christ and his flock for decades.
40:41
And this is the first time he's gotten hot water about anything.
40:44
The consequences of this have been vast for him.
40:46
His radio program was dropped from a distribution by the distribution company because they apparently
40:51
connected with him and his staff and they doubled down on his comments.
40:54
And so they're like, okay, we can't have you on a radio.
40:55
And that took him off of like 1500 radio stations or something like that.
40:59
He's had invitations to speak at conferences that have been revoked that have been canceled.
41:04
He's certainly going to suffer because of his decision here as a quickest side.
41:09
Just to show you how ideologically captured Christianity today is, I want to actually
41:12
read you the very next paragraph from the article from the little bit that I read earlier.
41:16
Let me read this, begs comments set off a firestorm among some of his fans and supporters.
41:21
In particular, those in conservative Calvinists and other evangelical communities, white evangelicals
41:27
remain one of the least likely of all us religious groups to support same sex marriage according
41:32
to the public religion Research Institute suck a wiener Christianity today.
41:36
Oh, it's white evangelicals out of the problem.
41:39
Oh, the problem is white evangelical Calvinists notice that this is a bad idea.
41:43
So again, if you have any qualms or reservations about Christianity today being completely
41:49
out ideologically captured, you have to take them out their word.
41:52
But I've talked about this a little bit on the show before about Christians attending
41:56
gay weddings.
41:57
I don't think Christians can do it.
41:58
I echo Joby's statements that he made last week that this is a participation event.
42:02
This isn't a birthday party, right?
42:04
You don't participate in a birthday party.
42:06
This isn't a work anniversary.
42:08
This is a marriage where the people that are there are actually participating in what's
42:11
going on.
42:12
One of my best friends from college, two of his best friends that he grew up with, they
42:16
were kind of like all three best friends.
42:18
Two of those guys ended up being gay for each other and they were going to be getting married.
42:23
And he came to me.
42:24
This is over 10 years ago.
42:25
And he asked me what he should do.
42:26
And the advice I told him is I was like, you absolutely cannot go to the wedding.
42:30
You cannot be a groomsman.
42:31
You can't be any of those types of things.
42:33
But you and your wife should be the first family that hosts them for dinner after they
42:36
get back from their non marriage, non honeymoon.
42:39
You should be the first family to love on them and show them the love of Christ.
42:43
That was the advice I gave them.
42:44
That would be the advice I would give to anybody in the same situation.
42:47
I've given that advice to a lot of people.
42:49
But we do have to go back to Pastor Begg's comment about Christians would have to take
42:53
risks in order to show love to those around them.
42:57
So to Alistair Begg, if you're listening to this, which I'm sure you're not by now,
43:00
but if anybody in his staffer in his orbit, because apparently the people in his staff
43:03
are very sensitive because I made a comment on one of his posts because he made a post
43:07
with a bunch of quote, you know, scriptures about marriage.
43:10
And I said, where are the scriptures about going to a training wedding?
43:12
And immediately I was put in Instagram jail.
43:15
So the people on his staff are very sensitive because they marked my comment as hateful
43:20
language.
43:21
Right?
43:22
So apparently his staff doesn't really like this.
43:23
But just in case I would like Alistair Begg to answer these couple of scenarios that
43:27
I would like to throw out.
43:29
Let's say a member of your congregation is a white supremacist.
43:34
So would you suggest that the people in your congregation take a risk in order to show
43:39
love to this white supremacist and attend his next clan rally and participate in the
43:46
lighting of a cross?
43:48
I mean, for the sake of the gospel, Pastor Begg, here's another scenario, Pastor Begg.
43:57
Let's say there is a member of your congregation that has an ongoing sexual relationship with
44:03
a 14 year old girl, grown man, sexual relationship with a 14 year old girl in order to show love.
44:10
Would you suggest that the people in your congregation not only ignore the obvious evil
44:15
sin taking place, the rape taking place, but instead buy them a gift card to Applebee's
44:21
for their next date, maybe a throw in a box of condoms to just in case if we're going
44:27
to take risks in order to show love, where does it end?
44:32
You have to have an answer for that.
44:33
So my big takeaway on this is I don't know what's more concerning in this story.
44:37
The fact that Alistair Begg believed any of this to begin with, or the fact that he refuses
44:42
to receive correction and repent because as of right now, he's tripling and quadrupling
44:47
down.
44:48
He did a sermon where he talked about it.
44:51
He doesn't see the issue with it.
44:52
It is astonishing how easily Christians can be taken in by the LGBTQ issue.
44:58
I don't get it of all the issues out there of all the things that could go wrong.
45:02
This is that one issue where Christians are just willing to compromise on what the Bible
45:07
says.
45:08
Now, I believe that Alistair Begg would say that, you know, homosexual acting out in a
45:13
homosexual manner is sinful.
45:14
I certainly think that he would say that I would stake my reputation on the fact that
45:17
he would say that.
45:19
But then in the same breath, you will say that they need to go and support these people
45:23
at their wedding.
45:24
Makes no sense.
45:25
Our next quick hitter here, co-president Biden conducting a disastrous news conference after
45:29
the DOJ let him off the hook for mishandling classified documents.
45:33
This is according to the Daily Wire, President Joe Biden's press conference last Thursday
45:36
has sent shockwaves through the Democratic Party with several top officials reportedly
45:39
saying on background that the event wasn't an unmitigated disaster for the 81 year old.
45:45
Biden held the press conference after special counsel Robert Her release the findings from
45:48
his criminal investigation into Biden's handling classified material, which concluded that while
45:52
Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials, no charges should be brought.
45:57
One of the top reasons that her argued that charges would not be brought was that Biden
46:02
showed strong signs of having serious memory issues, including not remembering when his
46:06
son died or when he served as vice president in the Obama administration.
46:11
Her concluded that a jury would view Biden as a sympathetic well, meaning elderly man
46:16
with poor memory.
46:17
Biden decided to hold a press conference late Thursday night in response to the report.
46:21
So you're my big, I got a couple of big takeaways here's the first one.
46:24
If Joe Biden's own DOJ says that he has unfit to stand trial or to face these charges, then
46:29
the 25th amendment needs to be used to remove him from office immediately.
46:34
So I'm going to read the 25th amendment to the Constitution Section four.
46:38
Whenever the vice president and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive
46:41
departments or of such other body of as Congress may by law provide transmit to the president
46:47
pro tempore of the Senate and the speaker of the House of Representatives, their written
46:50
declaration that the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.
46:56
The vice president shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as acting
47:00
president.
47:02
If he can't stand trial for putting open classified documents in his garage in Delaware, then
47:09
he can't discharge the powers and duties of his office.
47:11
He simply can't.
47:13
So my other big takeaway is I wonder, there's a little bit, yeah, conspiracy theory, but
47:18
I'll roll with it.
47:19
I wonder if his team is literally trying to sabotage him.
47:24
I wonder if his team literally called the press conference knowing that it would be a disaster
47:28
because it was probably an hour or two after his bedtime because it was at like 7 p.m.
47:32
And I think they're doing it because they're building a case to replace Biden at the Democratic
47:35
National Convention.
47:36
Because at this point, it's too late for anyone to pose a real challenge to him in terms of
47:43
the, the primary rather.
47:47
So there's not really something there that's going to happen.
47:49
But at the convention, Joe Biden could get up there and say, look, I can't, I can't do
47:54
any more out of, you know, my love for this country and my family, I need to step down.
47:59
Then the delegates get to decide who the person is, but also they could toss him out at the
48:03
convention as well.
48:04
They don't need him to not do that.
48:06
They don't need to, they don't, they don't need him to go up there and say that he won't
48:08
do it rather.
48:09
And so that's something that's potentially could happen, which goes right in to the next
48:13
quick hitter, which is the possibility of former first lady, Michelle Obama entering
48:16
the race for president.
48:17
So this is according to the New York Post several weeks ago, Biden won't debate, can't
48:21
our codger in chief can't even read the pre pre written script in front of him fast enough
48:26
to pronounce the words.
48:27
So forget him, which most of us already have coming back now, Obama, not him, her.
48:34
We've heard this drum beat for a while.
48:35
Now it's louder plans are to grab Michelle for the Democratic presidency choice, making
48:40
the music is Barack the orchestra leader, Michelle says she's terrified Trump will win.
48:45
No casual burp was programmed.
48:48
She sent a survey to dim biggies, asking their feelings about her candidacy, Obama's quietly
48:53
angling for Joe to go.
48:54
He's weaseled up to this for a few weeks, mowser talking, but mowser knowing over one
49:00
year ago, summer of 2022, she was in New York City meeting several big hedge CEOs and saying,
49:06
I am running and I'm asking for your support.
49:08
So here's my big takeaway on this one.
49:10
If Michelle Obama runs her president, it's a wrap.
49:14
People are like, Oh, they get so offended by this.
49:16
Guys, I'm telling you other than Taylor schwist, she is the most famous and liked woman in
49:21
America.
49:22
Now, I think she's vapid.
49:24
I think she's an extreme radical person, but she is one of the most well liked human beings
49:30
on the planet.
49:33
She writes book with words that are basically nonsensical and sells tens of millions of
49:37
copies.
49:40
And again, this election comes down to independence and suburban women.
49:44
And you know, who has incredibly high viewpoints of Michelle Obama, independence independence
49:48
and suburban women.
49:49
There's not a single candidate that Republicans can put up that would beat her.
49:54
So she runs, it's a wrap.
49:55
Also big takeaway, Trump loses to every potential Democrat that would take over for Biden except
50:03
for Kamala Harris.
50:05
And even then Trump is seen as, you know, the great orange Satan to her even Kamala Harris
50:11
might beat him in a general election, even though her numbers are worse than Joe Biden's.
50:16
So again, the people that are supporting Trump, they have to remember what this comes down
50:21
to.
50:22
I don't care about the national polls.
50:23
And people are saying, Oh, but he's, he's winning in battleground states like Arizona
50:27
and Pennsylvania and Michigan and sometimes Wisconsin and then in Georgia and all these
50:32
different places, but he's going to lose big time with independence and suburban women.
50:37
You have to ask yourself, what is Trump doing right now that's appealing to those women?
50:41
What's he doing right now?
50:42
Do appeal to independence?
50:43
Do you think independence are going to break two to one for him like they did whenever he
50:47
was against Hillary Clinton in 2016?
50:51
Because they broke two to one for Biden in 2020.
50:54
What is Trump done to counteract that?
50:56
You got to ask that question.
50:57
All right, next quick hitter here, Dr. Fauci admitting finally that the six feet apart
51:02
COVID rule wasn't based in science nor reality.
51:05
So this is according to the Western Journal, Americans who trusted the science when Dr.
51:09
Anthony Fauci told them to be six feet apart to prevent the spread of COVID-19 learned
51:12
in January, there was no science behind the edict.
51:16
After two days of interviews behind closed doors to the house select subcommittee on the
51:19
coronavirus pandemic, a news release posted on the website of the house oversight committee
51:23
revealed that Fauci claimed that the six feet apart social distancing recommendation promoted
51:28
by federal health officials was likely not based on any data.
51:31
He characterized the development of the guidance by stating it sort of just appeared.
51:37
So the COVID czar admits that the six feet thing sort of just appeared.
51:41
So here's a big takeaway.
51:44
And yet there are still softheaded people demanding that we trust the science and trust the experts.
51:51
It's what more do you need to see?
51:54
Because obviously this was just a blip on the radar.
51:56
No, this wasn't national news that Fauci basically admitted the stuff he was demanding
52:00
of people had no basis in reality.
52:03
The six feet apart thing saved no lives.
52:05
It didn't protect any human beings.
52:07
And we're just, yeah, whatever.
52:10
And the truth is, is the next pandemic or pandemic the next time this comes up, the same
52:15
law to you are going to be sitting there doing what you're doing right now, which is just
52:19
hanging on every word of the government officials that are going to tell you how to conduct
52:22
your life.
52:23
And I think I've said this on the show before, I have a family member who still wears gloves
52:28
in a mask when they go to Walmart.
52:32
They still will put their non perishable groceries in a separate room in the house and disinfect
52:37
it before they put it up.
52:40
We've known for over three years now that COVID doesn't live on surfaces, but this person
52:45
just believes what the CDC says, and just in case, just in case wants to make sure by
52:52
disinfecting, you know, boxes of cheeses, it's just nonsense.
52:56
But hey, this is where we live and now our next one here.
52:59
This one makes me sad, but Ron DeSantis is spending his campaign for president.
53:02
This is corny NBC News, Florida governor Ron DeSantis once seen as a formidable opponent
53:06
to Donald Trump and the Republican presidential primary suspended his campaign on Sunday, January
53:11
the 21st and endorsed the former president.
53:13
The move comes two days before the New Hampshire primary.
53:16
So obviously this tells you how long I've been wanting to talk about this because this
53:18
happened a long time ago.
53:19
I haven't had a chance to talk about it.
53:21
He's he's who I think would be the best person out of all the people currently running for
53:25
president.
53:26
He's the most conservative and he gets the most done.
53:28
The things he's done in Florida have literally turned Florida from a purple state into a deep
53:33
red state.
53:34
He keeps winning on the legislative side.
53:37
And also in my opinion, people are like, Oh, we'll just wait for 2028.
53:40
I don't think he runs in 2028, to be honest.
53:43
I mean, politicians have a time and it's like, I'm going to run during my time in 2028 is
53:49
a long, long time from now.
53:52
It's a long time from now.
53:54
And so he's going to be leaving the governor's mansion of Florida in two years.
53:58
And so for a year and a half, he would basically be a non entity politically and then try to
54:04
get back into the race.
54:05
I mean, maybe he does it.
54:06
If he does, I will very, very likely be sporting him, but I just don't really see it.
54:09
Here's my big takeaway on this one.
54:12
If and when Trump loses to Biden or whoever the Democrats prop up again, if Trump loses
54:17
again, I don't want to hear your [inaudible].
54:20
I just don't because you had a guy like Ron DeSantis just sitting there, a serious guy
54:26
that has all the fight and moxie of a Trump, but it isn't as funny, right?
54:31
He's maybe a little bit more socially awkward.
54:33
Maybe he's not as entertaining.
54:35
Maybe his, his tweets or his truce or whatever aren't going to be as funny to you, but he
54:39
was a serious candidate that you just let go by the wayside because of your just singular
54:45
focus on Donald Trump.
54:46
Again, need I remind you, he's probably going to be convicted on one of the four cases that
54:50
are against him before the general election and independence have said if he is convicted
54:54
of any of these crimes that they won't vote for, Republicans have said the same and Trump
54:59
can't lose any of these particular groups of people and still win the election.
55:03
He just doesn't have that.
55:05
And so, and here's the thing with a lot of these Trump people.
55:08
And again, if you're a Trump person, like I plan on voting for Donald Trump, right?
55:12
He's going to be the candidate for Republican and in November, I will be pulling the lever
55:15
for Donald Trump.
55:16
So any of you that are like screaming at me right now, we're in your MAGA hatch, just
55:19
remember, I voted for him in 2020.
55:21
I'm planning on voting him for him again in November.
55:24
But the thing that you have to remember is even if he is elected, those cases don't just
55:28
go away.
55:29
He can't pardon himself on state cases.
55:31
So he could be convicted these cases and sentenced to prison time as the president of the United
55:35
States.
55:36
And at best, he can only serve another four years.
55:38
So what exactly is the goal?
55:40
Again, again, I just don't see it.
55:42
Again, I plan to vote for him because even as bad as I think Trump is, as personally,
55:46
uh, foil-less as I think he is, he's better than Joe Biden.
55:49
He's better than Kamala Harris.
55:51
He's better than Pete Buttigieg, like he's better than all these people.
55:54
But if he loses, which I still think that he loses in November, I don't want to hear
55:59
you complaining, please don't come and talk to me about how they stole the election and
56:02
then proceed to not prove it because here we are standing here in 2024.
56:08
We still have not seen the actual hard evidence in court showing that this cabal of evil Democrats
56:14
stole the election for Donald Trump.
56:17
Was there chicanery?
56:18
Absolutely.
56:19
Were there fake ballots and dead people that that, you know, voted for Biden?
56:23
Absolutely.
56:24
Was it enough to sway the results of the election and the electoral college?
56:27
They didn't prove it.
56:28
Trump didn't even allege it in court.
56:30
So what are we talking about?
56:32
Our next quick hitter here, a Tennessee jury convicting six pro-life activists of violating
56:36
the face act.
56:37
So this is according to ABC news, a Tennessee jury has convicted six anti-abortion protesters
56:42
of violating federal laws after they blocked the entrance of a reproductive clinic outside
56:46
Nashville, nearly three years ago.
56:48
The jury's decision handed down late Tuesday, January 30th after a week long trial marks
56:53
the latest development in a case that has been closely watched by conservative groups
56:57
who have accused the federal government of unfairly targeting abortion opponents by using
57:01
1994 federal law designed to protect abortion clinics from obstruction and threats reproductive
57:07
rights supporters counter the law known as freedom of access to clinic entrances act
57:12
or the face act is more critical than ever in shielding abortion providers from violence
57:16
now that the constitutional right to abortion has been revoked.
57:19
While the federal grand jury initially indicted 11 people who participated in the blockade last
57:23
year, six were convicted on Tuesday.
57:26
Those are Chester Gallagher, Paul Vaughn, Heather Adoni, Calvin Zastro, Coleman Boyd,
57:31
and Dennis Green.
57:32
They face up to 10 and a half years of prison time in fines of up to $260,000 sentencing
57:38
hearing sentencing hearings will take place on July 2nd.
57:42
So on this story, I really have no idea what to think about what the sentencing will look
57:46
like considering the fact that these people convicted these individuals for standing in
57:51
a hallway, praying, singing the Psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, trying to convince these
57:57
women not to murder their children.
57:58
I can't imagine that they're going to get a slap on the wrist.
58:02
But my big takeaway on this one is a country with evil and unjust laws cannot and will
58:08
not stand.
58:09
I hate saying this because of how much I love this country and how patriotic I am.
58:13
But the end of America's era of dominance will soon be at an end because you can't have
58:18
laws enacted in this way because no matter how you slice it, it's evil because these
58:24
people were not violent.
58:25
They were some and sometimes quietly, but other times through prayer and singing of Psalms,
58:31
hymns and spiritual songs, worshiping God and trying to convince these women not to
58:35
kill image bearers of God.
58:39
And if you do that in this country, we will arrest you and potentially put you in prison
58:43
for over a decade and find you a quarter of a million dollars.
58:47
But if you want to blow up a facility like a police station, we're fine with that.
58:54
If you want to disrupt a conservative speaker on a college campus, that's fine.
58:59
If you want to scream anti-Semitic slurs at Jews as they walk across the sidewalk, that
59:05
no big deal.
59:06
If you want to come into this country illegally and perform crimes that lead to the harm or
59:11
death of Americans, hey, it's just, it's the cost of doing business.
59:16
We're very, very quickly turning into a evil country.
59:18
I don't know what to do about it.
59:20
Our next quick hitter here, a 50 year old Canadian teacher competing against teenage
59:23
girls and swimming competitions and changing in the same locker rooms.
59:27
So this is according to Rebel news.
59:28
Rebel news was tipped off by concerned parents that there was something perverse happening
59:32
at the pool at Richmond Hill Aquatic Center's fall classic swimming competition the weekend
59:36
of October the 20th in Markham Pan Am Center, which is near Toronto.
59:41
Namely at one of the swim races, 10 competitors took part.
59:44
Nine of the competitors had much in common.
59:46
They were female and they were either 13 or 14 years of age.
59:49
Alas, the 10th competitor was Nicholas J. Sipita, aka Melody Wiseheart, a member of the Orange
59:55
ville Otter Swim Club.
59:57
That's right.
59:58
Somehow, 13 and 14 year old girls were swimming against a 50 year old biological male.
1:00:05
So that biological male described in this Rebel news report is a college professor at York
1:00:11
University.
1:00:12
So interestingly enough.
1:00:14
Two of this guy's areas of research are children and youth.
1:00:19
So the Rebel news reporter that was on site also confirmed that this degenerate piece of
1:00:25
filth was allowed access to the young girls locker room and changed with the girls present.
1:00:32
So right to my big takeaway on this one.
1:00:35
When will the pathetic men of Canada finally stand up?
1:00:41
There are a lot of Canadian men that listen to this show and I'm not talking about y'all.
1:00:46
But we're at a swim competition where their parents present and father's present.
1:00:51
And you're telling me that an anonymous tip had to be given to a news reporter for him
1:00:58
to show up and make a stink about this because I can tell you this much.
1:01:02
The guys in my Sunday school, the guys in my foxhole, if we just show up to the Edmund
1:01:10
Public Schools Aquatic Center and we hear that there's a man in the girls locker room,
1:01:15
we're throwing down.
1:01:17
You're going to see us on the news and we're going to be wearing an orange jumpsuit.
1:01:21
All of us.
1:01:22
Because as I told you before, I don't have any daughters, but the men in my life that
1:01:26
I love, I'll hurt people for their daughters.
1:01:30
Best believe it.
1:01:31
If their dad's not around and I am and someone's trying to hurt their daughter or changing
1:01:35
in the room, showing his wiener to these little girls, best believe we're going to throw down.
1:01:39
It's going to be bad.
1:01:40
It's going to be a blood bath.
1:01:44
Where were the Canadian men in this moment?
1:01:45
Yeah, there were a lot of moms there, but there were dads there as well.
1:01:48
Where were you?
1:01:49
And let's say that this guy wasn't given access to their locker room to change.
1:01:55
You let this guy compete against your girls.
1:01:57
I'm so tired of this idea that we have to be, you know, super quiet and super accepting
1:02:03
and we just don't really understand this guy and his past and his history and it just,
1:02:07
then we're, we're potentially letting our 13 and 14 year old daughters suffer because
1:02:11
that at best, this 50 year old man beat your girls and they don't win a race that they should
1:02:17
have won because they were racing against a 50 year old adult male.
1:02:22
But at worst, again, this guy, like, you know, his, his areas of study are children and youth.
1:02:27
And this is going to be a little rough for some of you to hear.
1:02:30
So if you got kids in their car or something like that, maybe skip forward about 45 seconds
1:02:33
or so, but I can't help but think about this.
1:02:36
Can you believe, would you believe, if I told you that this man has never gotten himself
1:02:41
off sexually thinking about young girls?
1:02:45
Because a lot of these people are auto gonna feel it.
1:02:47
So these men that think they're women, what they are is they are attracted to themselves
1:02:51
sexually by looking in the mirror and seeing their male bodies in feminine form.
1:02:55
So with long hair and lipstick and a dress and those types of things, and a lot of these
1:02:59
men are dressing up to look like young girls, which means they are pedophilic auto gonna
1:03:05
feel like individuals.
1:03:07
So you're telling me that this man got no sexual satisfaction from being in a locker
1:03:13
room, watching 13 and 14 year old girls change while he himself was naked, nothing.
1:03:21
If you see a drag queen, you know, reading out your local library, that would be a great
1:03:25
question to ask.
1:03:26
Hey, how often have you masturbated thinking about young girls and boys?
1:03:30
Because again, these people are auto kind of feel it and in some forms, pedophilic auto
1:03:34
kind of files.
1:03:36
And we're just going to sit here and be quiet, we're just going to go along to get along.
1:03:41
Again, we're just going to be one of those, I want to be known for what I'm for not what
1:03:44
I'm against Christians.
1:03:45
We're just going to try to wash this guy's feet.
1:03:47
Yeah, we can wash his feet in blood.
1:03:50
See how that goes.
1:03:51
All right.
1:03:52
Next one here, the mother of a school shooter being convicted of manslaughter.
1:03:56
This is according to CNN, Jennifer Crumbly, the mother of the teenager who killed four
1:03:59
students at Oxford, Michigan, high school in 2021 was found guilty Tuesday, February
1:04:04
the sixth on all four counts of involuntary manslaughter in a novel legal case that stood
1:04:09
as the test of the limits of who's responsible for school shootings.
1:04:13
The jury of 12 deliberated for more than 10 hours.
1:04:16
Jennifer Crumbly looked down at her collapsed hands as the verdict was read.
1:04:20
She was taken from the courtroom and shackles.
1:04:22
Crumbly 45 had pleaded not guilty to the charges in the November 30th, 2021 mass shooting
1:04:27
on Oxford High School in which her son killed four students and wounded six students and
1:04:31
a teacher.
1:04:32
She faces up to 15 years in prison and her sentencing hearing was set for April the 9th.
1:04:37
She has been buying bars since her arrest in a Detroit warehouse days after the shooting.
1:04:41
So the result of this, this conviction has been universally praised.
1:04:46
Everyone's like, this is great.
1:04:48
She's a terrible woman.
1:04:49
She's a terrible mother.
1:04:50
And I'll put, you know, an article in the show notes, you can read about it.
1:04:53
She was a terrible mother.
1:04:56
She's only a terrible woman.
1:04:57
Her husband is currently going, he's going to be going on trial before too long either.
1:05:02
And they're kind of sniping out each other through this whole thing.
1:05:05
Bad parents, definitely horrible parents.
1:05:08
It seems like they could have done some things to intercede here and stop this boy from doing
1:05:13
the shooting.
1:05:14
This boy had his gun in his backpack and he was brought to the school office because
1:05:19
he had threatened to shoot up the school and they brought his parents in and the parents
1:05:24
nor the school administrators checked what was on his person or checked his backpack
1:05:29
or his locker.
1:05:30
And then he goes and gets his gun and shoots up the school.
1:05:33
There's a lot of people that made mistakes here, but I'm really conflicted about a story
1:05:36
like this and it goes to my big takeaway, which is that this sets an unbelievably dangerous
1:05:41
precedent making, and this is why.
1:05:46
So this kid was charged as an adult.
1:05:51
So you're saying on one hand that this kid was conscious enough of his actions to do premeditated
1:05:58
more murder that he shouldn't be tried as a juvenile, but as an adult.
1:06:02
And yet you are convicting another adult for a crime that they did not commit, convicting
1:06:10
them a manslaughter and potentially sending them to prison for over a decade.
1:06:14
Help me understand because either the nefarious actor here, the child that decided to use the
1:06:20
gun to kill people, either that person is a juvenile that had no idea what they were doing
1:06:24
and that it was wrong, or they're an adult that was fully conscious of that.
1:06:27
And thus they should be the only one paying the penalty.
1:06:31
Because think about the people that are currently in prison, you've heard people make this
1:06:33
point.
1:06:34
I'm certainly not unique in this.
1:06:35
There are people that are currently in prison, and I would say most people that are currently
1:06:38
in prison had terrible mothers and fathers and certainly absent fathers.
1:06:43
And so let's say you're a deadbeat dad.
1:06:45
You get a woman pregnant because you want to have sex and don't want to wear a condom.
1:06:48
She gets pregnant and then you just take off, right?
1:06:51
And let's say 16 years down the line, that kid shoots another kid in a gang shooting.
1:06:56
Do we convict the deadbeat dad and the kid now?
1:06:59
Is that what we're doing?
1:07:01
That this sets an unbelievably horrible precedent because here's here's reality.
1:07:07
Are there some people that are in prison that grew up in horrible family situations?
1:07:11
Absolutely.
1:07:12
That's the majority.
1:07:13
Also, people that are in prison now that were raised in loving families, raised by mother
1:07:19
and father that loved them, that participated in their education, that went to their ball
1:07:23
games that supported them, that took them to church that did all those things.
1:07:27
Certainly those people exist as well.
1:07:29
So if a kid in spite of all those things, uh, decides to go and do something like this.
1:07:36
Something murder is something awful, something illegal.
1:07:38
Are we really going to blame the parents for that?
1:07:42
That's a very dangerous precedent.
1:07:43
We'll have to see how it goes with the trial of the dad, but I don't really like the direction
1:07:46
that this is heading.
1:07:47
All right.
1:07:48
Next quick hitter here, the man that beheaded a satanic idol statutes Iowa State Capitol
1:07:52
building being charged with a hate crime.
1:07:54
So this is according to the Guardian, a Mississippi man accused of destroying a statue of a pagan
1:07:58
idol at Iowa State Capitol is now being charged with a hate crime.
1:08:02
The statue is brought to the Capitol by the satanic temple of Iowa under state house rules
1:08:06
allowing religious displays in the building during the holidays.
1:08:10
Excuse me, Michael Cassidy, a former congressional and legislative candidate from Mississippi
1:08:14
was charged the next day with fourth degree criminal mischief, a misdemeanor.
1:08:18
He told the conservative website, the sentinel that my confidence is held captive by the
1:08:22
word of God, not to bureaucratic decree.
1:08:25
And so I acted.
1:08:26
So I'm going to go back to this story, probably not a popular opinion on this one.
1:08:30
I thought this was kind of stupid.
1:08:32
Like I heard the guy's explanation and I want to like it because he's like, I'm held captive
1:08:37
by the word of God and so I had to act.
1:08:40
You beheaded a statue.
1:08:44
I mean, okay, you really showed those satanists.
1:08:47
You beheaded their Bahiman statue.
1:08:50
Like I thought it was kind of stupid by the this whole thing's kind of dumb.
1:08:54
I think he did it to get attention because he did it and then immediately walked over
1:08:58
to police and turned himself in and said, arrest me.
1:09:00
I'm a bad person.
1:09:01
But my big takeaway on this one is there should be no separate categories called hate crimes.
1:09:07
There just shouldn't be what crime is committed against somebody where there isn't hate involved
1:09:13
hate in your heart because you'll hear these things where, you know, a white person goes
1:09:17
and shoots up like the guy in Buffalo, he went and shot up a, you know, a grocery store
1:09:22
or something like that because he was targeting and killing black people.
1:09:26
Is it really a separate category of evil?
1:09:29
This guy took a rifle with the intent of murdering a bunch of people and he did that.
1:09:33
So is it extra bad because he wanted to murder people because of an immutable characteristic
1:09:37
of theirs?
1:09:38
Is there a separate category of hate?
1:09:40
I just don't quite see it.
1:09:43
But since this is a crime that we can be charged with in 2024, it does again, it kind of beggars
1:09:52
belief at this point to think this guy gets charged with a hate crime for beheading a
1:09:57
satanic statue, even though satanists would tell you that they themselves are not a religion,
1:10:01
right?
1:10:02
They don't believe in satan.
1:10:03
They don't believe in God, they believe in nothing.
1:10:06
They believe that were highly evolved chimps, chimps, their entire worldview is something
1:10:10
that is outside of religion, thus not something that is protected by the constitution, okay?
1:10:16
Not something that any of the founders would have ever thought possible that oh, a satanist
1:10:20
and anti, you know, God of any, any kind type person would be protected under these laws.
1:10:26
But you're charged with a hate crime if you do that.
1:10:29
But if you're a BLM activist and you target white cops for, you know, your Molotov cocktails
1:10:35
or your bricks, that's not a hate crime.
1:10:38
Definitely not a hate crime.
1:10:40
If pro Palestine people hurt Jews or pro Israel people, not a hate crime, definitely not.
1:10:49
If a bunch of black kids gang up on a white kid that's by himself and beat him up because
1:10:54
he's white, not a hate crime.
1:10:58
And again, it kind of you shouldn't have to say it, but it does bear repeating.
1:11:02
If we flip the races on any of these things, then it's national news for weeks.
1:11:06
I mean, just think about it.
1:11:08
If a group of 10 white kids found a black kid by himself and beat him up simply because
1:11:13
he was black, we would be flooded with social media and mainstream news articles about the
1:11:18
fact that we still live in a racist country and it's basically Jim Crow all over again.
1:11:22
But we don't see those stories and we've seen several stories, even just in the last
1:11:27
couple of months of literally groups of black kids beating up white kids because they were
1:11:31
white and because they could.
1:11:33
Now some of those kids are going to go to jail for that.
1:11:37
Some of them will get a slap on the wrist, but none of them are going to be charged with
1:11:39
a hate crime.
1:11:41
But a dork in Iowa decides he wants to be ahead of statue like a real real man and that's
1:11:45
a hate crime.
1:11:46
Give me a break.
1:11:47
All right.
1:11:48
Next quick hitter here to Navy Seals dying during a mission off the coast of Somalia.
1:11:51
This is according to CNN.
1:11:53
The two U S Navy seals who went missing off the coast of Somalia in January 11 or dead
1:11:57
U S central command said after searching for them for 10 days.
1:12:01
We regret to announce that after a 10 day exhaustive search, our two missing U S Navy
1:12:05
seals have not been located and their status has been changed to deceased central command
1:12:09
said in a statement on Sunday out of the respect for the family.
1:12:12
No further information will be released at this time.
1:12:14
So here's my quick hitter or my big takeaway on this quick hitter.
1:12:18
Did you even know that this happened?
1:12:19
Did you have any idea that we lost two of our best military members?
1:12:24
Because this was a story that was in the news and Allen news almost immediately, which
1:12:29
takes me to my bigger takeaway on this.
1:12:31
Is this likely never happens if Joe Biden and his administration, which is essentially
1:12:36
Barack Obama's third term, weren't so damn soft on Iran.
1:12:41
The reason these men were even doing this mission is because they were boarding a ship
1:12:45
that they thought was running illicit Iranian weapons.
1:12:49
These weapons very well could have been paid for with the pallets of cash that the Obama
1:12:54
administration sent over there.
1:12:57
And the seas were really rough and one of the seals fell off and his partner jumped
1:13:00
in after him to try and save them.
1:13:02
And then we don't know what happened.
1:13:03
We don't know if they drowned, got eaten by sharks, whatever, but we know that they
1:13:06
they suffered and died horrible deaths.
1:13:09
This is a direct reflection on the soft foreign policy, specifically the saw policies against
1:13:14
Iran.
1:13:15
Our seals shouldn't have even been there.
1:13:19
During the Trump administration, our seals weren't having to do a lot of these interdiction
1:13:22
things because Iran was pretty nervous, but they're not nervous under Joe Biden.
1:13:27
And this is connected to the next door here, so I'll get to it.
1:13:29
Three U.S. troops being killed in a drone attack on a U.S. base in Jordan.
1:13:33
This is according to CNN.
1:13:34
I know I've quoted a lot of CNN here today, but that's just the way the cookie crumbled.
1:13:37
Three U.S.
1:13:38
Army soldiers were killed and more than 30 service members were injured in a drone attack
1:13:41
overnight on a small U.S. outpost in Jordan, U.S. officials told CNN, marking the first
1:13:46
time U.S. troops have been killed by enemy fire in the Middle East since the beginning
1:13:49
of the Gaza war.
1:13:50
The killing of three Americans at Tower 22 in Jordan near the border with Syria is a
1:13:55
significant escalation of an already precarious situation in the Middle East.
1:13:59
Officials said the drone was fired by Iran-backed militants and appeared to come from Syria.
1:14:03
It is still being determined which militia group specifically is responsible.
1:14:07
So here's my big takeaway on this one.
1:14:08
We know if you've heard this before, this likely never happens if Joe Biden and his administration,
1:14:14
which is the Obama third administration, we're not so damn soft on Iran.
1:14:20
This is where we are now.
1:14:22
We have these militant groups, whether it's the Houthis or any other, the of these militant
1:14:27
Islamist regimes that are under the Iranian flag.
1:14:31
None of them would be doing this if Trump was in office.
1:14:33
Again, I've said very, very critical things of Trump, certainly on this podcast.
1:14:37
But everything was peaceful under Trump.
1:14:41
That's because people believe that Trump was going to do stuff and it's amazing what
1:14:45
happens when you think Trump is actually going to follow up on his words.
1:14:49
The problem with Joe Biden is he's not even making idle threats because it's one thing
1:14:53
like Barack Obama said he was going to draw a red line in Syria and then when Syria crossed
1:14:57
that red line, he did nothing.
1:14:59
That's bad.
1:15:00
But Joe Biden's not even making the threats.
1:15:03
He's basically asking them, pretty please don't do this, which is not a great.
1:15:07
It's, it's not an effective tactic whatsoever when you're dealing with the type of people
1:15:11
in Iran.
1:15:12
All right.
1:15:13
Next quick hitter here, Ohio lawmakers overriding the veto of Governor Mike DeWine and allowing
1:15:17
for the ban of so-called sex change surgeries for minors.
1:15:19
So this is according to the Christian Post, lawmakers in Ohio have overridden Governor
1:15:24
Mike DeWine's veto of a bill that bans cosmetic sex change surgeries with the prescription
1:15:28
of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for minors, allowing the proposed legislation
1:15:32
to become law.
1:15:33
The Ohio Senate voted 24 to eight on a Wednesday to override the veto of House bill 68, which
1:15:38
also prohibits biological males who identify as female from taking part in girls sports,
1:15:43
affirming an earlier veto overridden by the Ohio House.
1:15:47
So at the time when I was talking about this story before the house and Senate of Ohio had
1:15:52
a chance to vote on it, I told you this was going to happen.
1:15:55
It was very, very predictable right to my big takeaway.
1:15:58
Mike DeWine, the governor of Ohio should be impeached for this.
1:16:05
Republicans in that state or any state for that matter should have no tolerance for demonic
1:16:10
actions like these.
1:16:12
Again, Mike DeWine is either a conscious nefarious actor on this issue, or he's just a yellow
1:16:18
bellied coward.
1:16:20
And so I don't know how much longer he's supposed to be in office.
1:16:24
I really have no idea.
1:16:25
But if you are a Republican, Ohio, you need to talk to your state Senator and your state
1:16:30
representative and advocate for him to be removed from office.
1:16:33
That's exactly what he deserves.
1:16:34
He does not deserve to stay in the governor's mansion a second longer.
1:16:39
Our next quick hitter here, cases of teen suffering from cannabis induced psychosis going
1:16:43
through the roof.
1:16:44
This is according to Wall Street Journal, rates of diagnoses for cannabis induced disorders
1:16:49
were more than 50% higher at the end of November, 2023 than in 2019.
1:16:53
Health care analytics company Truveda said this week, the trend is contributing to the
1:16:57
broader burden of caring for people who developed mental health and addiction problems during
1:17:01
the pandemic.
1:17:03
Symptoms of serious mental disorders, including schizophrenia often emerge in adolescence.
1:17:08
Cannabis can't be ice can't be isolated as the culprit in any particular case.
1:17:12
But large studies show a clear link between frequent and more potent cannabis use and
1:17:16
higher rates of psychosis, particularly in young users said Dr. Deepak to Suza, Professor
1:17:21
of Psychiatry, psychiatry, there it is, at Yale University School of Medicine.
1:17:26
Even one psychotic episode following cannabis use was associated with a 47% chance of a
1:17:32
person developing schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, a 2017 study in the American Journal
1:17:37
of Psychiatry showed the risk was highest for people 16 to 25 years old and higher than
1:17:42
for substances, including amphetamines, hallucinogens, opioids and alcohol.
1:17:48
Here's my big takeaway on this one.
1:17:50
When we please stop pretending that cannabis is no big deal, I see this across the board,
1:17:56
including in conservative and Christian circles, which don't see cannabis as a big deal.
1:18:02
You got people that, you know, are just fine, but then they go on vacation in Denver or somewhere
1:18:07
in Colorado and it's like, Hey, let's go to the weed shop, like it's no big deal.
1:18:12
And then we come home and then we try to tell our kids to not do those things where we say,
1:18:15
you know, kids will be kids, but the evidence showing the deleterious effects on children
1:18:21
when they use any type of marijuana is stark and clear.
1:18:28
And there are a lot of people that are really, well, I'll talk about that a little bit more
1:18:31
later in terms of people that are advocating for the legalization of drugs.
1:18:35
But the problem is is that the law is a teacher.
1:18:37
That was one of my biggest things that when Oklahoma was considering, you know, bringing
1:18:41
in medical marijuana, I was like, okay, it never stays at medical marijuana. It always
1:18:45
goes to just, you know, free use marijuana. That's basically what it's going to be.
1:18:49
But the law is a teacher. And so when kids see that something is legal, they think it's
1:18:53
moral, especially if they don't grow up in a family that tells them anything different.
1:18:57
And the reality is, is the weed and the edibles and things that are taken now by kids or by
1:19:03
anyone that uses it. It's not the same thing as back in the seventies.
1:19:07
So all these men, if it's green, it's from God, it's no big deal. Man, all those people,
1:19:12
these were people that were getting high in the 60s, 70s and 80s and maybe periodically
1:19:16
now. It's way different now. And I'm not talking about, you know, the person that has cancer
1:19:21
that's taken, you know, a quarter of a CBD gummy because they're in so much pain and
1:19:24
they just want to get some sleep. That's not what I'm talking about because the overwhelming
1:19:28
majority of people that use marijuana are doing it to get high. They're not doing it
1:19:32
because they don't want to take any more opioids. They're doing it because they want
1:19:35
to get high. And our kids are seeing that as a society, it's having major, major negative
1:19:39
consequences. All right, next story here. So we'll actually get into the drug stuff here.
1:19:44
This is a state of Oregon reversing their liberal drug law due to the stark increase
1:19:48
in overdoses. This is according to MBR, Oregon voters passed the most liberal drug law in
1:19:53
the country in November of 2020, decriminalizing possession for small amounts of hard drugs.
1:19:58
Under ballot measure 110, instead of arresting drug users, police now give them a citation
1:20:02
and point them towards treatment. The law passed with 58% of the vote and also funneled
1:20:07
hundreds of millions of dollars in cannabis tax revenue to fund new recovery programs.
1:20:11
But more than three years later, the drug crisis in Oregon, like many other places battling
1:20:16
the fentanyl crisis has gotten worse. And that's prompted a fierce political debate in Oregon
1:20:22
about whether measure 110 has succeeded or failed. I don't know what there's a debate
1:20:27
about is clearly failed. So my big takeaway on this is no legalizing drugs won't solve
1:20:32
the drug problem because duh, you morons. Like, okay, lax laws leads to lax behavior, right?
1:20:40
That's what I just talked about. The law is a teacher, right? The more people will use
1:20:45
whatever the drug is when it's legal, because they're going to say things like, what's the
1:20:49
big deal? It's legal. Like, if it was really that bad, it wouldn't be legal, right? And
1:20:56
now we all know that just because something is legal does not make it moral right or safe.
1:21:01
But the law should reflect that. But when you hear people like Joe Rogan is a prominent
1:21:06
person, they always talk about Portugal. Like, uh, you know, Portugal, they, they legalize
1:21:10
all drugs and all it's, it's like a miracle. There's like no crime and Portugal's way
1:21:14
better. Portugal is not America. And Portugal doesn't have a bunch of fentanyl laced illicit
1:21:21
drugs coming over their southern border. They don't have any of that. These are not the
1:21:26
same types of populace. These are not the same types of people. They don't have any type
1:21:30
of a libertarian strain and Portugal doesn't exist over there. But here's the reality.
1:21:36
People morons in Colorado thought if we legalize marijuana, it's going to get rid of the black
1:21:40
market because the state's going to take over. They're going to tax. It's going to be good.
1:21:44
We can use this money to pay for iPads for the kids in the elementary schools, but wouldn't
1:21:48
you know it? Way more people started using marijuana in Colorado. And guess what the black
1:21:53
market did? It grew everywhere where marijuana has been legalized. The demand for it goes
1:22:02
up, which makes the black market demand go up as well because if the state is charging,
1:22:07
I don't know what, what we'd cost with their charging X amount plus whatever percentage
1:22:11
tax on top of it. Don't you think Pedro around the corner is going to be able to sell you
1:22:17
a dime bag or sell you, you know, an ounce or sell you a few joints or something like
1:22:21
that at cheaper than what the store down the street does. He's not going to be charging
1:22:25
you tax. He doesn't have to send tax back to the cartels. He just has to send the cash.
1:22:32
So again, a lot of you are more than willing to be duped into thinking that it's no big
1:22:37
deal. Marijuana is no big deal. Yeah, why don't we just legalize drugs? Because I like
1:22:40
Joe Rogan. It's common. He's funny. So let's just legalize drugs because he thinks it's
1:22:44
a good idea. It'd be a terrible, horrific idea. So if in your state, anything like that comes
1:22:50
up on the ballot, including marijuana, vote no every single time.
1:22:54
All right. Next one here. Christian rapper LaCray calling for reparations. So this is
1:22:59
according to a clip that was posted by Jared D or Jared H. Moore on Twitter. So let me just
1:23:04
go ahead and play this clip for you. So I'll play the audio for the podcast and we'll put
1:23:07
the video on YouTube. So here's the clip from the podcast.
1:23:10
There's been no conversation for what our, you know, family has endured. You know what
1:23:16
I'm saying? So I always think about that black people shouldn't pay taxes. That's my
1:23:20
first easy reparations. That's a good reparations.
1:23:23
They shouldn't play. I'm with that. I'm with that. So that nobody got to get no checks
1:23:28
out of account. Just don't make a space. And when people struggle with this concept, because
1:23:33
that's because that's because that's me. Let's be real. We all have white friends. Yeah,
1:23:37
we all are involved in circles of of influence, affluence. Yes, of different white friends.
1:23:45
And and it's interesting because we get to have these conversations that people don't
1:23:48
get to have publicly. So that the internet is like shaking fingers. And we are sitting
1:23:53
down across table like having a regular basis. So one of the things that I was just recently
1:23:59
sharing with one of our friends is that my great, my four times great grandfather, he
1:24:07
was he owned 80 acres of land 80 acres. He was schemed against and said he owed $57 and
1:24:20
they plotted against him because they was jealous of this land said he owed $57 created a case
1:24:25
against him and then lynched him for 57 bucks. We lost all 80 80 acres of land in our family.
1:24:31
And he was lynched for $87 my his wife tried to go and hide it and she ended up disappearing
1:24:37
which we learn later she was killed. So all of their children raised each other. You know
1:24:42
what I'm saying? And so people then look at us and say, how can you demand reparations
1:24:45
of like, well, I mean, if you think about it, 80 acres of land was just taken from my family
1:24:50
and my three times great grandfather was just murdered. So you know what I'm saying? So
1:24:54
it's like, bro, how do you, what do you want me to say?
1:24:57
Okay, so I don't know what podcast that was or whatever. So I would like to give credit
1:25:01
to them. But you know, just to kind of is what it is. Just to go to his story real quick,
1:25:05
let's say his story is actually legitimately true. He says they plotted against him and
1:25:09
took his land. Who's they? Who's they LaCray? Can you answer that? More on that in a second.
1:25:16
So I used to be a big LaCray fan. When I worked for Major League Baseball, Nas came and did
1:25:21
a concert at one of our studios. LaCray was actually my guest LaCray and his manager
1:25:25
and, you know, some of his producers. And so I used to be a big fan of his, but he's been
1:25:29
going down this woke road for a while, right? He kind of hit mainstream. And then, you know,
1:25:33
Trump becoming president, who seemed to have broken his brain. And then when George Floyd
1:25:37
OD'd in police custody, that broke his brain. And people like him, the, I guess, the siren
1:25:42
song of cultural Marxism is just too enticing for them, including LaCray. But my big takeaway
1:25:46
on this one is only by doing univariate analysis. Could you ever think reparations to black
1:25:51
Americans would be a good idea? Because there's so many questions. I've talked about this
1:25:55
a lot. But where would the money come from? Where exactly? Who's money are we taking and
1:26:01
giving it to whom? And so then there's a lot of other things that are would never be answered
1:26:06
by these people because it's just an idea. It's a fanciful idea that they just get to
1:26:10
say out loud. But what about the descendants of black slavers? Is LaCray a descendant
1:26:16
of a black slave or a black slaver? Also, what if they came to America after slavery was
1:26:22
abolished? One of my best friends is a black kid who came to this country after slavery
1:26:28
was a well, he didn't come to this country. His family came to this country from like
1:26:31
one of the Virgin Islands, right? And so that wasn't during the slave trade that he was
1:26:36
brought to America to seek reparations. What if they're in a mixed family? But if there's
1:26:41
a black dad and a white mom, like does the does the white woman, does she have to like
1:26:47
walk across the other side of the dinner table and like hand a check to her husband? Like
1:26:51
speaking of which, just about everyone that's black isn't 100% black. So you've seen these
1:26:59
people, I think there was a sunny host and one of the people from the view, like she
1:27:03
goes back and I think she's like Puerto Rican and black or something like that. But she
1:27:06
found out live on television that she was actually a descendant of a slave owner. And
1:27:11
so a lot of these people that are like, oh, I'm black, they're not 100% black. They have
1:27:14
some mixture at some point of, you know, some European or some some other type of ethnicity
1:27:20
that isn't black African. So do those people get a pro pro rated amount based on the percentage
1:27:27
black they are? Also, are we going to demand reparations dating back to slavery at any
1:27:33
time in any place? Because again, people love to talk about the African slave trade to America
1:27:38
and for good reason. It was one of the most horrific evils. But it's an evil that was
1:27:41
common to all of human history until white Europeans said, yeah, we shouldn't be doing
1:27:46
this anymore. Again, the first three countries that outlawed it were not Nigeria and Syria
1:27:52
and Brazil, Brazil being the country that got the majority of the African slaves during
1:27:57
the African slave trade. It was England, the United States and France were the first three
1:28:02
countries that outlawed slavery. So for me, I'm Choctaw, Indian, and I'm Irish and Scottish.
1:28:10
Okay. So I'm kind of a Celtic mutt with a little bit of American Indian Choctaw Indians
1:28:16
were slavers and slaves. So do I go back to like the the Chickasaws or the or the chalk
1:28:24
or to the Cherokees or one of these other nations that took my people captive? Do I get
1:28:28
money from them? Also, at some point in my lineage, people of my background would have
1:28:35
been enslaved. Like, do you even know where the word slave comes from? It comes from slav,
1:28:41
because most of the Slavic people were enslaved by Islamist or Islamic slavers. If you look
1:28:46
back at the history of slavery, so many slavs were in prison that they ended up ethnologically
1:28:54
becoming the word slave. So can I go back to one of these Islamic nations that probably
1:29:00
enslaved one of my Celtic ancestors and get reparations? Like, where exactly do we stop
1:29:04
it? But ultimately, people that publicly advocate for reparations, people like LaCray and these
1:29:10
dorks that were on this podcast with them, they just advocate for it because it sounds
1:29:15
good. That's it. They can they can just virtue signal and it sounds good. Oh, yeah, black
1:29:20
people aren't going to pay back their student loans anymore. They're not going to pay taxes.
1:29:24
Why? They can't explain why. And my final thought on this is I cannot and will not provide
1:29:29
reparations to someone for something that I did not do. Namely, I will not provide reparations
1:29:36
to someone that was never a slave when I myself was never a slave owner. This is stupid because
1:29:43
the men sitting around the table, the three black men sitting around that table during
1:29:46
that clip, none of them have been enslaved ever. And all these, imagine if we flip the
1:29:51
races on the discussion, let's say three white guys were getting around. It's like, oh, yeah,
1:29:55
you know, we've got some black friends that just don't quite understand it. Those guys
1:29:59
would be rung up and canceled so easily. But three black men can get around and be like,
1:30:03
Oh, you know, all these dumb white people in our lives that don't think we should get
1:30:06
reparations. Here's an anecdote. Give me a break. All right. Next quick hitter here,
1:30:11
Elon Musk announcing the first implant implantation of a neural link chip in a human brain. So
1:30:16
this is according to NPR. Elon Musk says his ambitious plan to let humans wirelessly connect
1:30:22
their brains with phones and other devices has taken a new step announcing the first human
1:30:26
has received a brain transplant from his neural link company. The person who wasn't identified
1:30:31
is recovering. Well, must said via X formerly known as Twitter, which by the way, can we
1:30:35
if you have to say formerly known as Twitter every time, let's just call it Twitter enough.
1:30:38
All right. Here's his quote from Elon Musk, initial results show promising neuron spike
1:30:43
detection. He added referring to the cellular activity between our brains and our nervous
1:30:47
systems. The news comes months after neural link began recruiting potential human test
1:30:51
subjects for its clinical trial. The company got food and drug administration approval
1:30:55
for the trial last May, saying it wanted to enlist people ages 22 and above who are living
1:31:01
with quadruplegia due to a spinal cord injury or ammo troph amiotropic lateral sclerosis
1:31:07
ALS, the disease that robs people the ability to control their bodies. Here's my big takeaway
1:31:12
on this one. It's going to be quick for the love of God. Do not do this. Guys, don't do
1:31:19
this. This will not stop at quadriplegics or people with ALS. Okay, you want to talk
1:31:25
about I robot? We'll talk about minority report. We want to talk about all this like
1:31:28
future future crime like brain stuff. Do not put a chip in your brain so that you can
1:31:33
more easily open up your email. Please do not put a chip in your brain that that will
1:31:38
help you move your body because if the chip can help you move your body, don't you think
1:31:44
someone else can use that chip to move your body for you to force you to do things that
1:31:48
you don't want to do? This is dystopian for the love of God. Don't do it. Next quick
1:31:52
hitter here, the state of Alabama, it's executing death row inmate Kenneth Eugene Smith by nitrogen
1:31:57
hypoxia. This is according to the Washington Post, Alabama carried out the world's first
1:32:02
known execution by nitrogen hypoxia a couple of Thursdays ago. The unprecedented method
1:32:06
was administered to Kenneth Eugene Smith, a prisoner on death row for his role in a contract
1:32:11
killing more than three decades ago. Smith's execution was preceded by months of legal
1:32:15
battles over whether it was constitutional to use nitrogen hypoxia in capital punishment,
1:32:20
as the method was not known to have ever been used before the in a prison setting. Alabama
1:32:25
prison officials kept many of the details about how they would carry out the new method, a
1:32:29
secret from the public. So to be honest with you, a story like this, yeah, there's some
1:32:33
details that are that we're talking about. Can we talk about the fact that we're making
1:32:37
execution so complicated? Because executions back in the day, hangings, guillotine, those
1:32:44
types of things, they weren't very complicated. And the success rate was incredibly high.
1:32:51
I guess I just don't quite understand why these people, because again, in this country,
1:32:55
we only execute people that are murderers, typically murderers and rapists or kidnappers
1:32:59
and murderers or people that murdered multiple people. You know, there's always some sort
1:33:03
of extra, you know, extenuating circumstance. Why do we think that these people shouldn't
1:33:08
feel pain during their execution? I don't get it. Like, I'm certainly not advocating
1:33:14
for torturing these people, but like hanging or guillotine or firing squad, there's going
1:33:20
to be some level of pain, but then the deed is done. Like, why are we experimenting with
1:33:25
all these other different ways of doing it? But to be honest with you, the details of
1:33:29
the story, which I just got into a little bit myself, it's it's it's really a distraction
1:33:33
away from the real story here, which is, you know, right here to the big takeaway. If taxpayers
1:33:38
are going to be forced to keep these murderers alive for decades before they are executed,
1:33:43
then what is the point exactly? Every time there's one of these cases about someone on
1:33:48
death row, and is the governor going to commute the sentence? Or is any of this thing going
1:33:53
to happen? These people are they're almost always on death row for multiple decades,
1:33:57
20, 30 years, sometimes. And taxpayers are paying to keep that personal life. I know
1:34:03
that the court systems aren't backed up that much. But I want to read this, the scripture
1:34:08
from Ecclesiastes 811, because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily,
1:34:14
the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil. Because there are people that
1:34:19
make dumb statements like, Oh, you know, the the death penalty is isn't really curbing crime
1:34:24
at all. Well, part of the reason why it's not curbing crime is because let's take a gangbanger,
1:34:28
right? He shoots a rival drug dealer or something like that, gets arrested, goes down for capital
1:34:36
murder. You know, he set out to kill this guy, goes out and kills him first degree murder,
1:34:40
right? He's convicted. We're giving him the death penalty. And then he sits on death row for 30 years.
1:34:48
So all the little dummies that are in his crew that are running with him, like,
1:34:52
they hopefully some of those guys get out of that light, but they're not going to get out of that
1:34:55
light because they're like, Oh my gosh, like my boy got, you know, he got caught up on these
1:35:00
charges. He got convicted a month ago. And now he's dead. Holy cow. Like there's no immediate
1:35:06
consequence. Like, if you do one of these things that we will put people to death for in this
1:35:12
country, that you should get your appeal. And then as soon as your appeal is over and your
1:35:17
conviction is upheld, you should be executed pretty much immediately. Because again, I want
1:35:22
to read Ecclesiastes 8 11. And there's some other great passages from judges, but this is a great
1:35:26
kind of cogent one. Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart
1:35:32
of the children of man is fully set to do evil. It'd be worth an experiment, wouldn't it?
1:35:37
One of these murderers or capital murderers or something like that, they're convicted. They
1:35:42
immediately go for, you know, their retrial or their appeal. And then if the appeals up,
1:35:48
if the initial sentence is upheld, they get executed at dawn. I wonder if it have a big impact.
1:35:55
My guess is that it would. All right, just a couple more left here. Republican National
1:35:58
Committee Chair, Ronna McDaniel stepping down. So this is according to Politico last week. There's
1:36:02
been some other things that have gone on, but this is, you know, decent. Ronna McDaniel is expected
1:36:06
to step down from her role as Republican National Committee chair this spring, according to Republican
1:36:10
operative familiar with her thinking. So this is probably going to happen. I don't think it's
1:36:15
been officially yet, but it's probably going to happen. So she's, here's the thing about her.
1:36:20
She took over the Republican National Committee as a chair when Trump was in the White House and
1:36:26
Republicans controlled the United States House and Senate. Okay. And under her leadership,
1:36:33
the Republicans lost the house in 2018. They lost the Senate and the White House in 2020.
1:36:38
And they performed dreadfully in 2022 midterms when there should have been a red wave.
1:36:43
So, and now there's essentially no money for the 2024 general election because of how the
1:36:50
budgets were handled so poorly under her leadership. So, so let's be real here. She's
1:36:55
only being ousted because Trump doesn't like her anymore. She literally changed her name
1:37:00
because Romney was in her name, right? She changed her name because Donald Trump hates,
1:37:04
you know, Mitt Romney so much, right? But the only reason she's leaving now is because Trump
1:37:08
doesn't like her. If Trump still liked her, she'd still have this job. She would carry this job
1:37:13
through the general election, which is concerning. But my big takeaway on this one is if you're a
1:37:17
Republican, you should not tolerate losing in losers. This woman in her job, I'm not talking
1:37:24
about her personally, in her job is a loser. She did nothing positive. People like, Oh, well,
1:37:29
you know, the Republicans took back to back the house in 2022 and by the slimmest of margins
1:37:34
when it should have been overwhelming. And Republicans should have taken back the Senate and they did
1:37:38
do that either. If you're a Republican, you should demand more of people from the RNC.
1:37:44
And so this is a good thing that she's now out. All right, guys, we're getting to the last
1:37:48
quicker here. And as I said from the beginning, and if you've hung on, this is officially the
1:37:52
longest, I think solo episode I've ever done. I'm pretty sure so we're getting up towards a
1:37:56
two hour mark. This is my favorite story of 2024 so far. I'm just going to get right into it.
1:38:03
A proposed bill in Oklahoma dealing with the growing furry problem in the greatest way possible.
1:38:09
So this is according to our state paper, the Oklahoma lawmaker representative Justin Humphrey
1:38:15
of lane decided to file a bill targeting furries or people in a subculture interested in anthropomorphic
1:38:21
animal characters in Oklahoma schools. Humphreys bill house bill 3084 would ban students who
1:38:28
report to be an imaginary animal or animal species or who engage in anthropomorphic behavior commonly
1:38:33
referred to as furries at school from participating in class and school activities. The bill would
1:38:40
require parents or guardians to pick the student up from school. And here's the best part, my favorite
1:38:45
line of any new story so far on 2024. But if parents are unable to pick the student up,
1:38:51
the bill says animal control services shall be contacted to remove the student. I got to tell
1:38:59
you, I can't love this story more. Now there's a zero percent chance this actually gets passed.
1:39:06
Like it's just one of hundreds of bills that'll just go up that'll just kind of die a silent death.
1:39:11
But can you imagine? Can you imagine this kid who's got some mental disorders or they just lack
1:39:19
attention, they dress up as an animal. And they got a litter box that they go to the bathroom in,
1:39:25
you know, whenever they go to the bathroom, they've, you know, they constantly will just
1:39:30
pur it people as opposed to talking like a human being. Imagine they call the parents,
1:39:34
parents are stuck at work, animal controls called to the school and this person's put in a cage
1:39:38
and driven down and put in a different cage until their parents can come and get them.
1:39:43
My big takeaway on this one, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. More of this. I wish this would
1:39:49
be passed. You want to get rid of the furry problem? This is how you do it. The thing is,
1:39:56
is these purple, these people deserve to be mocked for what they're doing. The ones that are doing
1:40:01
it for attention, they deserve to be mocked. The people that have actual mental disorders that
1:40:05
think they're an animal, they need help. They need a lot of help. And what's not helping them is
1:40:10
putting a litter box in the bathroom. What's not helping them is giving them a brush to brush
1:40:16
themselves in the middle of class. What's not helping them is allowing them not to respond to
1:40:20
you using the English language, but only using animal sounds. Okay, that's not helping them.
1:40:24
But the thing is, is if you allow it, it'll continue to happen. But if we stop them from doing this,
1:40:33
because I guarantee you, one kid, one kid with some moxie is going to get there in their fox costume,
1:40:39
and they're going to allow themselves and animal control is going to show up. They're going to put
1:40:43
that thing around their neck. And then we're never going to see this happen again. So I say more of
1:40:48
this, you know, these people have made the beds for themselves. I think that they should suffer
1:40:53
some of the consequences of their stupid actions. That's one of the ways to make this go away. Our
