"Republican" Doesn't Mean "Christian" (Ep. 396)

0:00 "This is Undaunted Life, a man's podcast.

0:22 I'm your host Kyle Thompson.

0:23 Let's get into it."

0:24 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man and he brought

0:28 her to the man.

0:29 The man said, "This is now a bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh.

0:32 She shall be called woman, for she was taken out of man.

0:35 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife and they become one

0:39 flesh."

2:39 to talk about, but you're going to want to listen to every second of the show, even though

2:41 I know I'm preaching in the choir here, I know you guys listened to every second of every

2:44 show, right?

2:45 All right, guys, in the quick hitters segment, we're going to discuss Elon Musk providing

2:48 the receipts that Twitter meddled in the 2020 election to benefit the Democratic Party.

2:53 Balenciaga's new ad campaign featuring children and BDSM gear, Kanye West going full anti

2:59 semi, the totally and completely shocking revelation that liver King is on steroids.

3:05 I know, I know I just recovered recently from that.

3:07 The goat response by a coach during a news conference and also this one's going to be

3:13 my favorite.

3:14 And that's why I held it to the end.

3:15 So you guys will hang with me.

3:16 A woke pastor hiding after I called him out for his heretical tweet, guys, we are going

3:24 to super dooper.

3:25 Get after it.

3:26 All right, let's go and do the thing that we're going to be talking about today before

3:29 we get to the quick hitters.

3:30 And the reason why I titled this episode Republican doesn't mean Christian.

3:35 And if you've never had that thought before, you've probably had that thought in last week,

3:39 because a week ago, the United States Senate voted on what can accurately be called landmark

3:43 legislation and that legislation is called the respect for marriage act.

3:48 So what this would do is it would codify same sex marriage into federal law.

3:53 And you might think, you know, what about the Obergefell decision didn't that already

3:55 codify it into federal law?

3:57 Well, there's there's always loopholes and different statutes and, you know, ways for

4:00 the federalist system to work, but essentially this law would make it impossible for any

4:06 state to move to not recognize same sex marriage.

4:10 And then also to not recognize interracial marriage.

4:13 But I don't think anybody, any state, no matter how read or how blue or how whatever, is trying

4:19 to do either one of those things.

4:20 Okay.

4:21 But in a 50/50 split Senate, this bill passed 61 to 36.

4:26 I think that that would make it three abstentions there, 61 to 36.

4:31 So the bill was unanimously so unanimously supported by Democrats, obviously.

4:35 And additionally, 12 Republican senators voted in favor of this legislation that would basically

4:44 change the definition of marriage and undo the different things that we've done in this

4:49 country to try to honor marriage between one man and one woman.

4:54 Okay.

4:55 So I'm going to list these people here.

4:56 Okay.

4:57 Roy Blunt of Missouri.

4:58 These are all senators.

4:59 Roy Blunt of Missouri.

5:00 Richard Burr of North Carolina, who's retiring, Shelley Moore, Capito, sorry, I didn't haven't

5:06 heard of her before West Virginia, Susan Collins of Maine, no surprise.

5:09 They're Todd Young of Indiana, Joni Ernst of Iowa, Cynthia Loomis of Wyoming, Lisa Murkowski

5:14 of Alaska, also not very surprising, Rob Portman of Ohio, also retiring, Mitt Romney, that

5:20 useless, spineless jellyfish of Utah, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, and then Tom Tillis of

5:25 North Carolina.

5:26 Tom Tillis was actually pretty surprising.

5:28 But all of these Republicans want to be seen as moderate, obviously.

5:32 There's really no other way to look at this and we'll get more into some of the arguments

5:36 here in a second, but they want to be seen as moderate.

5:38 But what you have to ask yourself, if you support the Republican Party and, you know,

5:43 I would count myself in that party and a lot of you would as well, is our moderates effective

5:48 for legislation moving forward.

5:51 Our moderate Republicans, the thing that we want to see a lot more of in the reason that

5:56 you should ask this out loud to yourself is because Democrats expel moderates from their

6:01 ranks regularly and it has made them more powerful overall.

6:07 As we've talked about and we're not going to get into a lot of detail today, but they

6:10 will literally vote for a brain dead person to be president because he's got a D next

6:14 to his name.

6:15 They'll vote for a brain dead person for the Senate because they have a D next to their

6:18 name.

6:19 They literally voted for a dead person for the House of Representatives because they had

6:22 a D next to his name and all those people are very, very left wing radical people.

6:28 So do we want a whole lot more moderates?

6:31 And for the solid Republicans in the United States Senate that voted no, right, they voted

6:36 against this, they mainly did so because the bill would potentially open up and I say potentially,

6:41 but it would open up Christian individuals, schools, hospitals, companies, et cetera,

6:47 to future lawsuits and remove their constitutional protection to act out of act out their religious

6:53 convictions in public, okay?

6:55 And the reason that we know this to be true is because there were three different amendments

6:58 to the legislation that were lobbied for by three Republicans and all of them were rejected.

7:04 They couldn't even get any of those 12 spineless, ridiculous human beings that voted for this

7:10 bill to even accept these amendments, okay?

7:13 So the three amendments were offered by Senator Mike Lee of Utah.

7:16 His suggested amendment was likely the strongest.

7:18 And then you had Senator Marco Rubio of Florida and then my Senator James Langford of Oklahoma.

7:23 So the moronic spineless cowardly Republicans that voted for this legislation said that

7:28 they were given guarantees by the Democrats that this legislation would not infringe on

7:33 the rights of religious people.

7:36 But if you think about that sentence for a little bit, well, how do we guarantee something?

7:41 Well, you put the text in the law.

7:43 I mean, that's what Senator Langford rightly pointed out as he was lobbying in front of

7:48 the Senate.

7:49 And talking about this is that the legal system does not recognize intentions at all.

7:54 It recognizes judicial texts, the actual words, you know, when things go to the Supreme Court,

8:00 if you're an actual, you know, you've take that job very seriously, you're not looking

8:03 at the intention of a law, you're looking at the text of the law and then comparing that

8:07 to the Constitution, right?

8:09 And Senator Lee's amendment to the bill would have allowed people to still act with their

8:13 religious conscience intact.

8:15 Essentially, it would have allowed for a business or a service provider or an individual to be

8:19 able to live out their religious convictions in their lives and their businesses.

8:24 Okay.

8:25 So like a Christian Baker would not be forced to bake a cake for a gay wedding or a lawyer

8:30 being forced to represent a gay couple in an adoption dispute or what we have right now,

8:34 it's that we're hearing oral, oral arguments right now for a website designer in the state

8:38 of Colorado that may be forced to create websites for gay weddings and she's a Christian and

8:43 doesn't want to do that.

8:44 So that's what Senator Mike Lee's amendment would have, you know, made room for and that

8:48 was defeated.

8:50 And I'll just be honest from the very beginning, the great Albert Mueller, whose podcast I

8:55 listened to Monday through Friday called the briefing, he did a tremendous breakdown of

8:59 this legislation on his show last Wednesday, November the 30th.

9:03 Now just be real with you, I don't think I can beat it.

9:05 Okay.

9:06 So I'm not going to try to, I'll put a link to that episode in the show notes.

9:08 Guys, you have to go listen, listen to the briefing with Albert Mueller from Wednesday,

9:13 November the 30th, wherever you get your podcasts, I will link directly to his website, but you

9:16 have to listen to it.

9:17 But I do want to give some random thoughts and then some, some application as we work through

9:20 this.

9:21 The first thing is it was very slick what the Democrats in the media, you know, but I repeat

9:26 myself, are doing with the wording of this bill, okay?

9:30 Because again, the Senate has approved it.

9:31 The house will surely approve it and then it'll go to the White House and I'll be approved

9:34 as well.

9:35 But they always make sure when they talk about the respect for marriage act to mention both

9:39 gay marriage and interracial marriage, as if everyone that opposes gay marriage also

9:46 opposes interracial marriage.

9:49 It's dirty, but it's very, very effective for them because I only know people that disagree

9:57 with gay marriage and don't disagree with interracial marriage.

10:00 I don't know anybody that disagrees with both.

10:02 I like, I don't know a single human that thinks no gay people shouldn't be able to get married

10:05 and people of different, you know, skin tones are able to get married.

10:09 I don't know anybody that's like that, but again, the Democrats in the media are making

10:13 sure that every time they mention this law, they don't talk about gay marriage.

10:17 They talk about gay marriage and interracial marriage because it's a club with which they

10:21 can be conservatives and be Republicans with, right?

10:24 Because at the end of the day, there's no debate about interracial marriage, right?

10:30 Again, a lot of people back in the day would miss you scripture to say we shouldn't have

10:32 interracial marriage or just, you know, people that were bigoted a hundred years ago would

10:35 say we shouldn't have such a thing, but that's not a thing anymore.

10:39 But there's a major issue with gay marriage because it's fundamentally different.

10:43 That's why a lot of people call it gay mirage because that's essentially what it is.

10:47 Another random thought is that you cannot simultaneously vote for this and say that you're a staunch

10:52 defender of religious liberty.

10:54 Especially if you didn't support Senator Mike Lee's amendment or Senator Rubio or Senator

10:58 Langford's amendment.

10:59 So all these Republicans will say as a voting block that they are staunch defenders of

11:05 religious liberty, but how do you square that circle with voting for this?

11:09 There was someone I can't remember.

11:10 It was one of the female folks that voted for this, but that was a Republican.

11:15 She was like, well, we can have a religious definition of marriage, but then we can also

11:19 have a legal federal definition of marriage.

11:22 And those two things can work simultaneously.

11:25 But the reason why we have definitions for words is because words have meaning.

11:28 It's a very postmodern idea that, oh, well, we'll just define marriage this way when we're

11:32 looking through this lens and we'll define it another way when we're looking through

11:34 that lens.

11:35 It's nonsense.

11:36 These people are not defenders of religious liberty.

11:39 Another random idea is this idea that people that are religious, right, whatever your religion

11:44 is, that they're supposed to turn off their religious moral brains when they're in public

11:48 and in the public eye is ridiculous.

11:51 So critics will say that you cannot legislate morality.

11:54 A lot of people say that works great on a bumper sticker, okay, I'll legislate morality.

11:58 But as many people will point it out, every single law in every government puts forth

12:03 a version of morality, all of them, all of them.

12:08 The only difference is what the foundation of that morality is, like, for instance, the

12:13 Judeo-Christian ethic or a humanist ethic, something like that, right?

12:19 And so all these people are basically saying, yeah, yeah, yeah.

12:22 You can be religious.

12:23 You can be religious at church, at least for now.

12:25 You can be religious at home.

12:26 But if you run a business, if you're in the public eye, you can't be religious there because

12:30 that's bigoted.

12:31 And it's obviously going to lead to some major issues in the long term, right?

12:35 That's the argument they're making.

12:36 It's ridiculous, but it's the argument that they're making.

12:39 Another random thought is that many of the supporters of this legislation to include our

12:42 so-called president are saying that this is a win for love and that love is love and

12:46 this is so good and we're so progressive and we're going in the right direction.

12:49 The problem is they don't actually mean that because what I would ask these people, of

12:54 course, they would never answer.

12:55 But what I would ask them is, would you be in support of polygamy?

13:01 Would you be in support of throuples?

13:04 Would you be in support of siblings marrying one another?

13:08 Would you be in support of people marrying animals?

13:11 Would you be in support of adults marrying children?

13:15 I mean, if love is love, where do we stop that?

13:20 And then if you say, okay, love is love up to this point, why that point?

13:23 Yeah, love is love, but only between one human and another human, we can't have three.

13:30 Come on, that's crazy.

13:31 Yeah, one human and another human, but not an adult in someone below the age of 18, which

13:35 is a child.

13:36 No, no, no, no.

13:37 Well, why not?

13:38 Again, I'm extrapolating your worldview out to its logical conclusion.

13:42 You're telling me that love is love.

13:44 You're selling the t-shirts on your website.

13:46 Love is love.

13:47 Great.

13:48 Okay.

13:49 Let's say I'm with you on that.

13:50 Love's got to be love no matter what, right?

13:51 So these supporters of this legislation, they're just completely full of crap.

13:54 And obviously we knew that from the beginning.

13:55 A couple more thoughts, random thoughts here.

13:58 It's legislation like this.

14:00 And I go back to my criticism of what Matt Walsh did on the Joe Rogan experience.

14:07 It's legislation like this that points us out.

14:09 If you don't undergird your moral arguments with the sources of that morality, you have

14:14 left yourself with an unsturdy foundation.

14:17 Because again, when Matt Walsh was on the Joe Rogan experience, he refused to use the

14:20 Bible as his foundation for the moral argument as to one man and one woman being married

14:25 for life before he got.

14:27 He just couldn't do it.

14:28 He couldn't bring himself to do it as a good Catholic or as a whatever.

14:31 He just couldn't bring himself to do it because, well, Joe doesn't believe in the Bible as

14:33 if that matters, as if the person you're talking to's belief system changes what you should

14:39 talk about when it comes to truth.

14:41 And so we have to go back to the definition of marriage and where do we get this concept

14:45 of marriage?

14:46 We get that from somewhere.

14:47 And I started out the episode today with that last random thought here is this isn't

14:51 the end.

14:52 Okay.

14:53 So super, super buckle up.

14:55 The people in support of this bill have already like the day it was approved in the Senate,

15:00 which signal that I was going to be approved all the way through have already signaled

15:03 that this does not go far enough.

15:06 Their argument is that this activist, conservative Supreme Court, you know, would still overturn

15:11 the Supreme Court Supreme Court decisions on gay marriage and interracial marriage, which

15:16 is not being signaled.

15:17 They're going back to the decision from some of the justices, Alito and specifically Thomas

15:21 and saying, Oh, you know, this is something that that they're they're going to look to

15:24 do.

15:25 But rest assured that the people that are in support of this, they will keep trying to

15:28 take a bite of the apple.

15:30 It's going to keep keep coming and keep happening.

15:33 Likely before Joe Biden's out of office, if he can stay alive that long, they're going

15:37 to make another push here and you're going to think to yourself, well, it's legal across

15:41 the board, but they're going to continue to erode the religious freedom arguments that

15:46 would keep churches from having to, you know, host a gay wedding or keeping business owners

15:53 from having to do things for gay weddings.

15:55 Because as you'll remember, you know, with the the cake baker in Colorado thing, he didn't

15:59 say, Oh, y'all are gay.

16:00 We're not going to sell you any of our products.

16:03 Far from it.

16:04 He said, I'll sell you anything in this store.

16:06 Even if you plan to use that at your wedding, I will sell you anything in the store, but

16:10 I'm not going to make you a custom wedding cake using my skill sets as an artist to celebrate

16:14 something that I find to be deeply immoral.

16:19 But they're looking to take that away too.

16:22 When you need to build up your team to handle the growing chaos at work, use indeed sponsor

16:27 jobs.

16:28 It gives your job posts the boost it needs to be seen and helps reach people with the

16:31 right skills, certifications and more spend less time searching and more time actually

16:36 interviewing candidates who check all your boxes.

16:39 Most of this show will get a $75 sponsor job credit and indeed dot com slash podcast.

16:44 That's indeed dot com slash podcast terms and conditions apply need a hiring hero.

16:48 This is a job for indeed sponsor jobs.

16:51 But we need to transition to talking about why this is so important.

16:54 Why is the story so important?

16:56 Well, the first reason is that cultural revolutions guys, they used to move slowly.

17:01 And now they they just move at breakneck speed.

17:04 Okay.

17:05 So it used to be, you know, in the gay marriage issue specifically used to be, you know, just

17:08 leave us alone.

17:09 You know, let's, let's do what we want.

17:10 And then it became, don't worry about what we're doing in our homes.

17:13 It doesn't concern you subtle shift, but a shift, then it became just let us have civil

17:18 unions, right?

17:19 So that we can, you know, enter into legal agreements as a couple and so that we can

17:22 visit each other in the hospital and all that, you know, it's no big deal.

17:26 Then it became just let us get married to it won't affect your marriage.

17:30 Like why do you care?

17:31 Then it became, if you get an invite to a gay wedding, you must go and support it lest

17:38 you be a bigot.

17:39 And then it became you will lend your skills to your business or as a business owner, you

17:45 will lend your skills and your business to supporting our marriage and wedding lest you

17:49 be a bigot.

17:51 And then it's, you know, hey, not only are you going to lend us all these skills and

17:54 all that you will clap and you will celebrate and you will watch this and you will love

18:00 it.

18:01 Guys, 2015 was Obergefeld.

18:03 That's not that long ago, and we've come that long and less than that far and less than

18:08 a decade.

18:09 You want to talk about breakneck speed?

18:12 Cultural never used to move this fast and look at the degradation we're seeing now.

18:16 And then you have to ask yourself what's next, obviously.

18:19 Another thing about why this is so important is it does not matter how any government defines

18:24 a word.

18:25 Ultimately, God gets to define what things are and what things are not now that may not

18:31 apply in the legal system.

18:33 If you make an argument before a judge and you, you know, tell him to repent and you,

18:38 you better do this and sphere sovereignty and whatever the thing is.

18:41 And then you argue that they're probably not going to go along with it because they don't

18:44 have the same worldview that you do.

18:46 And they're undergirding their morality with something else.

18:48 But it's all the people that are worried about the changing of the definition of marriage.

18:52 It's only changing in terms of the United States government.

18:54 I say only.

18:55 It's a big deal.

18:56 Obviously I've spent the last, you know, 20 minutes and going to spend a lot more time

18:58 talking about that on today's show, but ultimately God gets to decide and God will decide justice

19:04 will be done and morality and immorality will be correctly categorized by good and just God.

19:11 And the last reason I want to talk about in terms of why this is important is what this

19:15 Senate vote and, you know, the eventual approval of this legislation in the House of Representatives

19:20 and from the White House shows us is that the powers backing the LGBTQ revolution are

19:26 officially more powerful than the powers backing religious liberty in our country, okay?

19:33 Because if you can peel off a dozen Republicans to vote for something that violates basic

19:38 religious liberty in this country, then that does not bode well for religious liberty in

19:43 the future.

19:44 Now the one thing that's why I always go back to my uncle Dan argument when he said, hey,

19:48 the Supreme Court's too important, you know, plug your nose and vote for Trump.

19:52 If we didn't get those three conservative justices, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and ACB, where

19:57 would we be right now?

20:00 We would be looking at a 100% certainty that this gal that's currently got her case before

20:05 the Supreme Court, that doesn't want to have to use her web development skill sets for

20:09 gay weddings.

20:10 It would be a certainty that she would be forced to do that, that she would be compelled

20:14 to use certain speech that the United States federal government deems necessary in that

20:19 situation.

20:21 That's the only thing keeping us from completely losing religious liberty in this country was

20:26 one election of an orange man.

20:29 I mean, that's just crazy to think about, but that's where we're at.

20:32 So now we need to talk about what we can do about it before we move on to the quick hitters.

20:35 What we can do about it.

20:36 First thing is, is remember that elections have consequences, right?

20:40 And we hold the power in a constitutional republic.

20:44 I know that there are a lot of people listening to this episode right now that have never voted.

20:47 They love to complain, they love to, you know, watch Fox News or watch info wars and they're

20:52 like, Oh, look at that.

20:53 And that's so terrible.

20:54 And this and then our country's going down the crapper.

20:56 They've never voted.

20:58 They've never once gone out on a Tuesday, stood in line and cast a ballot, not once, but they

21:05 want to complain.

21:07 But the reality is, is if you actually care about the story, guys, we cannot let these

21:12 Republicans that voted for this off the hook.

21:15 They need to be challenged in their next selections when they're up, you know, whenever their

21:18 next election cycle is, whether it's in, you know, two, four or six years, they need

21:22 to be challenged.

21:23 They need to be ousted by the Republican party because if these people can't coalesce behind

21:28 religious freedom, they need to be cast out of the party, all of them.

21:32 But I also want you to remember this, right?

21:34 Because I said something, you know, you know, kind of nice about Trump a second ago.

21:38 Do you remember when Donald Trump almost single-handedly blew those two Senate seats in Georgia in

21:44 the 2020 runoff?

21:46 Because he was so mad about the election and what everything about the election, he didn't

21:50 prove anything in court.

21:51 He didn't even ledge in court what he was saying live at his press conferences or having his

21:56 lawyers go out there and say in his press comments, okay?

21:58 So for a guy that, you know, is saying, hey, this was stolen, this was stolen, he proved

22:01 nothing in court.

22:02 He didn't even try to prove it in court.

22:04 And then he basically told the voters of Georgia, ah, don't worry about voting in these two

22:07 Senate races.

22:08 It's going to be fixed anyway.

22:10 They don't Republicans sat on their hands and didn't vote in two radicals were able

22:16 to take seats in Georgia.

22:18 Now, if you think about it, this past this legislation passed with 61 votes, let's say

22:24 two solid Republicans were able to be a part of that, the math, all of a sudden changes.

22:31 And they don't have the 60 votes they need to be filibuster proof for that legislation.

22:37 So for all you big Trump people out there and again, I voted for him in 2020.

22:41 Remember that when you're thinking about who you want to be representing the Republican

22:45 party two years from now, I want you to remember that this guy was such an egomaniac about

22:50 this that he couldn't bring himself to go down to Georgia and say, yeah, I'm dealing

22:54 with my stuff.

22:55 I'm trying to prove that this was rigged and all these different things.

22:57 But right now we need to get these two sentences in Georgia, which were right for the picking.

23:01 And now I'm recording this on Tuesday.

23:03 And so by the time you guys are listening to this, it'll be pretty much found out that

23:07 Raphael Warnock is going to win and get a six year term in the United States Senate and

23:12 which would give the Republicans 49 seats to the Democrats 51, which basically, you know,

23:18 keeps them from being able to, you know, take care of different Senate committees and all

23:22 these different things.

23:23 It completely throws everything off, but it started with Donald Trump not being able

23:26 to get out of his own way.

23:28 And as we wrap up here, I want to talk about this because obviously this is what the episode

23:31 title is, is we have to get used to the fact that Republican doesn't automatically mean

23:39 Christian, because I got to be honest, I used to think that.

23:46 Not even that long ago, I used to think that that the default mechanism of a Republican

23:52 that is voted to public office in this country is Christian.

23:57 Whether they're actually a Christian or not, I'd say, okay, they will still defend a Judeo

24:01 Christian ethic and act as if God is watching, whether or not they believe Jesus rose from

24:05 the dead.

24:06 But that's just not what we're seeing, guys.

24:08 Now, obviously the Democratic platform doesn't align with just about anything that we would

24:14 see from a Judeo Christian ethic or the gospel.

24:17 The Republican position does in more ways than the Democratic positions in more ways, not

24:22 completely, but in more ways.

24:23 Just look at the fact that Democrats want you to be able to kill your baby up to the moment

24:27 of birth for any reason whatsoever and what taxpayers to pay for it.

24:32 Republicans are like, yeah, we don't like that.

24:34 Just that one thing should tell you about the two worldviews that are at play here.

24:38 But I have used and you have used, a lot of you have used it as a cheat sheet or, you

24:43 know, a shortcut to think, okay, if I want to vote for Christian values, I need to vote

24:48 for the Republican party.

24:49 Now, I think it's more apt to say that conservative values for the most part are Christian values,

24:57 but certainly not Republican, big R, Republican, big tent, Republican.

25:01 That's not Christian.

25:02 I don't know that it ever was, but we certainly were convinced about it because a lot of prominent

25:07 Republicans, they want to make sure that the pastors give their support and they want to

25:12 make sure to pray and they end their speeches within God bless America and all these different

25:16 things.

25:17 And in the good Christians will just go along and they'll golf clap and they'll say, oh,

25:19 this is great.

25:21 But no more now, every time that a Republican goes up before Congress or goes up and wants

25:29 to get your vote, that doesn't necessarily mean they need to pass your theology test.

25:34 What you personally believe is the right and most basic thing.

25:38 But when they vote in a way that is so counter to what we know to be true from God's word,

25:45 not what the Bible says, but what God says in the Bible, right?

25:49 What God says in the Bible, when they go against that, they have to pay for that.

25:54 And no, I don't mean physically.

25:55 I don't mean go and throw miles off cocktails at their office.

25:58 I mean, they need to lose their job because if they can't defend the fundamental right

26:04 of religious liberty in this country, they are out because guess what, guys, I just named

26:10 all the people that came up for the Senate, but when this goes before the house, they're

26:13 going to be a bunch of Republicans that vote for this as well and they will be named and

26:18 they should be ousted.

26:20 For them, it's easier.

26:21 It's every two years.

26:22 They need to lose their jobs, but for everybody else, stop thinking because this person is

26:27 a Republican that they're a Christ follower, that they believe in the truth of the gospel

26:32 and that they are sustaining themselves with a moral code and undergird of that because

26:38 it's no longer true.

26:39 All right, guys, let's get into the quick hitter segment with the first one here.

26:43 Elon Musk providing the receipts that Twitter meddled in the 2020 election to benefit the

26:47 Democrats.

26:48 So this is according to the Daily Wire, Twitter CEO Elon Musk released information through

26:52 journalist Matt Taiba Friday afternoon.

26:54 This was last Friday showing that Twitter was working in conjunction with then Democrat

26:58 presidential candidate Joe Biden's team, removing tweets that team Biden won and deleted must

27:03 said that he decided to release the information because it was necessary to restore public

27:07 trust in the platform after it censored the New York Post bombshell report about Hunter

27:11 Biden's laptop just weeks before the 2020 presidential election.

27:15 Taiba's post shows that on October the 24th team Biden asked for five tweets to be removed.

27:20 According to Andrew Kerr of the Washington free beacon, those tweets were either drug-related

27:24 photos of Hunter Biden or pornographic photos of him.

27:28 Celebrities and unknowns alike could be removed or reviewed at the behest of a political party.

27:33 Taiba or continued both parties have access to those tools.

27:37 For instance, in 2020 requests from both the Trump White House and the Biden campaign were

27:40 received and honored, however, the system wasn't balanced, it was based on context because

27:46 Twitter was and is overwhelmingly staffed by people of one political orientation.

27:51 There were more channels more ways to complain open to the left, well, Democrats than the

27:55 right.

27:56 The New York Post published Biden's secret emails on October the 14th of 2020, a report

28:01 about the laptop belonging to Biden's son.

28:04 Twitter took extraordinary steps to suppress the story, removing links and posting warnings

28:08 that it may be unsafe, Taiba continued.

28:11 They even blocked his transmission via direct message, a tool hitherto reserved for extreme

28:15 cases, e.g. child pornography.

28:18 And guys with this story, there's so much to talk about when it comes to this story, you

28:22 know, in Musk is saying that he's going to drop even more files in the very near future.

28:28 So we'll have to see what what goes on with that.

28:30 And I've got a lot more ground to cover on today's show.

28:32 So I'll be brief and go brief on the story and go right to the big takeaways.

28:35 So the big takeaway on this for me is two things can be true at once.

28:40 The 2020 election was rigged, quote unquote, rigged and Donald Trump, legitimately lost.

28:47 Okay, I know that seems kind of counter.

28:50 So I'll repeat it.

28:51 The 2020 election was rigged and Donald Trump legitimately lost.

28:55 Okay.

28:56 So let's talk about the first part.

28:57 When we talk about rigged, most people go to, you know, people dropping off a bunch of

29:02 ballots in a drop box or, you know, you know, election machines, counting machines, not

29:07 working or people bringing in, you know, you hold things full of ballots and in the middle

29:11 of the night, oh, the camera doesn't work and they're adding stuff here or there and

29:13 all that.

29:14 Again, a lot of that has been alleged.

29:16 None of it's been proven in court.

29:18 Nobody apparently has the receipts to prove that beyond a reasonable doubt.

29:23 Otherwise, we would have seen the receipts by now, but I think that the election was rigged

29:29 in how everything was covered and how Google will suppress search results for Republican

29:34 candidates, how Gmail will automatically send more Republican emails straight to spam by

29:41 a wide margin than what is on the Democratic side about the shadow banning of Republicans

29:47 and conservatives on social media on the outright banning of stories that would be harmful to

29:52 Democratic candidates.

29:53 In this specific example, the Hunter Biden laptop story, because guys, the 2020 election

29:58 looks like it came down to about 40,000 votes, a little bit more than 40,000 votes in three

30:02 states.

30:03 That's what won the election and swung it for Joe Biden.

30:07 And if weeks before the election, you know, a month, a month before the election or so,

30:11 it had become widely known by a nonpartisan social media class and media class that it's

30:18 very likely that Hunter Biden was going around the world, you know, picking up bags of cash

30:22 because of his last name and that a percentage of that money was going to the big guy, Allah,

30:28 Joe Biden, that changes the election and likely wins it for Donald Trump.

30:33 But when I say Donald Trump legitimately lost, again, I go back to what I talked about earlier,

30:38 is that Donald Trump in public and on social media and on true social is claiming that the

30:43 election was stolen.

30:45 There have been documentaries made about it and all these different things, but he didn't

30:49 prove it in court and he didn't even allege what he's alleging in public in court.

30:56 So yes, I think the system is rigged.

30:58 I think it is rigged to make sure Democrats look as good as possible and that Republicans

31:03 look as terribly as possible and that all these major groups, whether it be social media,

31:08 whether it's, you know, the rest of, you know, Silicon Valley or the media or college campuses

31:15 or the K through 12 schools or Hollywood or whatever, it is rigged against conservatives

31:20 and Republicans, but also Donald Trump legitimately lost.

31:24 He lost an election to a dead person that didn't even campaign and you can point to

31:29 the fact that he couldn't control himself on Twitter.

31:33 He couldn't get out of his own way and he couldn't point at Joe Biden.

31:36 He wanted the story to be about himself.

31:39 That's exactly what it was.

31:41 The 2020 election before January 6 was a referendum on Donald Trump as a person because if you

31:47 did it based on Donald Trump as the leader of the country and the leader of the Trump

31:52 administration, everybody should have voted for him because we had not seen in the first

31:57 three years of his presidency, we had not seen positives for the country across the board,

32:03 maybe ever.

32:04 Those first three years of the Donald Trump presidency is probably one of the greatest

32:09 three year stretches in any presidency in our country's history, right?

32:14 It's up there in terms of how much flourishing was created for the American people and that

32:19 obviously the C word hits 2020 becomes an absolute abject mess.

32:25 Everybody screwed it up including Donald Trump and then we have the election and it was a

32:29 referendum on Donald Trump as a person, not as a politician and not on Joe Biden as a

32:35 person or a politician, okay?

32:37 I think two things can be true at once and I think both of those things are true.

32:41 All right, guys.

32:42 Next quick hitter here, Balenciaga's new ad campaign featuring children and BDSM gear.

32:47 So BDSM, I believe is what is that bondage domination and fatal masochism.

32:51 So don't look up pictures of it online if you don't know what it is because then you're

32:54 going to be on a watch list.

32:55 So this is also according to the Daily Wire.

32:57 The fashion company Balenciaga responded to its ongoing scandal involving a photo shoot

33:01 that featured young children holding BDSM themed teddy bear bags by saying it could have

33:05 done things differently.

33:07 The company issued a statement Monday afternoon.

33:09 This is a week ago Monday after facing severe public backlash when it was accused of sexualizing

33:15 young children.

33:16 Okay, so if you haven't seen these images, I'm going to bring them up if you're watching

33:18 on YouTube or on Rumble.

33:20 So this first one that I've got here is of a little girl looks to be a little girl holding

33:24 a purple teddy bear that's got like leather straps and all that.

33:27 So basically wearing BDSM gear and then this other image here is another what looks to be

33:33 a little girl holding a teddy bear that's got a lock chain around the neck and the leather

33:39 straps and everything.

33:40 And then there's a bunch of interesting things on the bed which we'll get more into later

33:44 about the other symbols and other symbolism that Balenciaga Balenciaga puts in their work.

33:49 But those two images, those are the ones that went viral.

33:51 Okay, so those are the ones that everybody shared that you've likely seen at this point.

33:55 And if you haven't, go check out our show on Rumble or YouTube and you can see it there.

33:59 The brand itself Balenciaga, which celebrities like Kim Kardashian, this is actually going

34:03 back to the archival.

34:04 I'll just go back to the article here from Daily Wire.

34:06 The brand which celebrates with celebrities like Kim Kardashian often wear displayed images

34:10 on its website last week as parts of its Toy Stories campaign.

34:15 The photos showed child models posing with the brand's teddy bear handbags with the bears

34:19 dress and BDSM themed gear from its Paris Fashion Week spring summer 2023 collection.

34:25 The company said it strongly condemns child abuse.

34:27 It was never our intent to include it in our narrative and the two separate ad campaigns

34:31 represented a serious and grievous error.

34:34 According to the Independent, in one of the images are documents from the 2008 Supreme

34:39 Court opinion, United States vs. Williams, a federal statute prohibiting the pandering

34:43 of child pornography, which reaffirmed the Protect Act, a federal law that increased

34:48 penalties for sexual exploitation and other abuse of children.

34:53 And so I'll show a couple more images here.

34:55 So this is exactly what they're talking about here.

34:56 So in one of the ads, you can see this, it's like, it looks like kind of a busy desk or

35:01 something like that.

35:02 You've got a keyboard there.

35:03 You've got files, you've got a purse, a Balenciaga person, all that.

35:05 But if you zoom in here, so I'll kind of bring this up here.

35:09 If you zoom in, that's the court case.

35:12 That's the one they're talking about, okay?

35:13 So that is the 2008 Supreme Court decision, United States vs. Williams, okay, that was

35:17 talking about the prohibition of pandering of child pornography, okay?

35:21 There's people that want to take that a couple of different ways.

35:24 And there's been a lot of responses on this.

35:26 So celebrities have kind of gone one of two ways because I got to be honest, I never

35:30 heard of Balenciaga before this, I don't really care about fashion, definitely not high fashion,

35:33 which is what Balenciaga is considered.

35:35 But Jason Aldine, the country singer, his wife, you know, apparently has a lot of Balenciaga

35:38 stuff.

35:39 You know, she made a big post social social media posts where she's like throwing it away.

35:42 There's a lot of people on social media like cutting up their Balenciaga bags and throwing

35:44 it away.

35:45 And okay.

35:46 But then you have Kim Kardashian, who might be the most famous person that is a supporter

35:49 of Balenciaga or that was sponsored by them or an influencer or whatever.

35:52 And she came out with a statement a few days after all this broke and she said that she

35:57 was reevaluating her relationship with Balenciaga, which is an interesting thing to say.

36:01 I think she's a mother of four, whenever they're creating these images and she's, you know,

36:06 about as rich as God at this point, but she's reevaluating whether or not she can continue

36:11 to accept money from an organization that clearly is okay with child porn and BDSM and

36:16 child domination.

36:17 So that's an interesting take, but then Balenciaga in a very, very strange move, they're suing

36:25 the PR company that apparently put the ad together.

36:28 Okay.

36:29 Now, this is really weird.

36:31 It's a weird move because there are only a couple of different scenarios here.

36:35 Scenario one, this PR company legitimately made this entire ad campaign out of thin air

36:41 without consulting with Balenciaga, but then Balenciaga actually ended up approving it.

36:46 Okay.

36:47 So that's that scenario one.

36:48 And then scenario two is that Balenciaga gave this company the criteria for this ad

36:54 campaign and they did exactly what the criteria spoke to.

36:58 So either way, Balenciaga is solely responsible for this ad campaign, seeing the light of

37:03 day.

37:04 Okay.

37:05 Now, in, in light of all this and all these different things, I felt like there were a

37:09 lot of people that were adding to this story when things didn't need to be added to it.

37:14 So there was this image that was going around of this woman that looked crazy evil.

37:19 She's wearing like a red, you know, leather suit and she's got her cheeks are sunken in

37:24 and her, her makeup was really, really kind of crazy.

37:26 And she's holding these red babies and everyone's like, this is like the founder of Balenciaga

37:30 or this is like the CEO of Balenciaga and look how how satanic she looks and all these

37:34 different things.

37:35 Well, lo and behold, that was just some model, right?

37:38 So there were a lot of people adding some things around.

37:41 But then the thing that I thought was really, really weird at the beginning and I thought

37:43 it was stupid and it was actually hurting this was that people were talking about how

37:49 Balenciaga was spelled.

37:51 So Balenciaga is spelled B-A-L-E-N-C-I-A-G-A, okay?

37:57 So three A's in there and only one at the beginning, okay?

38:00 But people were plugging an extra A in at the beginning to where it would be B-A-A-L-E-N-C-I-A-G-A.

38:08 And then they would plug Balenciaga.

38:11 So B-A-L-B-A-L space E-N-C-I space A-G-A into Google Translate from Latin to English and

38:19 it would translate into Bail is the king or Bail is God.

38:23 So actually show it here because I went to Google Translate and I did Bail, N-C-A-G-N

38:28 Latin, transfer to English and it shows Bail is the king.

38:32 I did this yesterday.

38:33 So this is not some crazy screenshot.

38:35 This is exactly what I did, but I'm sitting here and I'm like, but it doesn't say that.

38:41 Like, they don't they don't spell their name with four A's.

38:44 They spell it with one A. So I thought it was it was kind of a weird thing.

38:48 But then when you dig a little deeper, okay, and we got to kind of talk about Bail because

38:52 a lot of you kind of know who that is, at least colloquially, but Bail is the ancient

38:55 Canaanite, Infinician God that represented a lot of things, but was mainly seen as a fertility

39:00 God and Bail just so happened to be a God or deity that children were sacrificed to

39:06 in ancient times, okay?

39:08 And Christian demonology says that Bail is one of the gods of hell, okay?

39:11 So essentially Bail is the demon of child sacrifice.

39:16 Bail is the demon in charge of child sacrifice, child sacrifice, literally, okay?

39:21 You might also remember the story from First Kings where the prophet Elijah, you know, went

39:24 up against the prophets of Bail and, you know, they're like, okay, you know, we're going

39:27 to see who can consume this altar with fire and then the prophets of Bail are out there

39:30 flailing around and freaking out and doing all these different things and nothing's happening.

39:34 And the thing I love about it is Elijah is like literally giving them crap, go back to

39:37 the First Kings and read that.

39:38 It's so funny.

39:39 There's like sarcasm all through this like, yeah, maybe you're not young loud enough

39:42 and all that.

39:43 And so, you know, the, the prophets of Bail do this all day long and nothing happens and

39:45 then Elijah goes, Hey, watch this.

39:47 And then he prays to Yahweh and then everyone gets consumed.

39:50 And so it's a great, great story.

39:52 But the problem with the adding the A to the spelling of Balenciaga to where you could

39:56 plug it in and Latin and all that.

39:58 So I thought was again that the company does not spell their name that way with four A's.

40:03 They only have it with three.

40:06 But when you plug it into Google translate, the Balenciaga name, just as it's normally

40:12 spelled, you get this and I'll bring it up on the screen.

40:15 BA space, L E in space, CI space, A G A, which translates from Latin to English, do what

40:22 you want.

40:24 So if you spell it their way and break it up, Balenciaga is do what you want.

40:30 Okay.

40:31 So that's something that's really, really important.

40:34 Again, going back to my problem with the people that were adding the A in there is that you're

40:38 adding something that's not there.

40:39 I remember years ago, I watched this video where there was this woman explaining why monster

40:44 energy like the company that makes the energy drinks that they were satanic and they brought

40:48 up their logo, you know, the big M logo and they explained how this, you know, was indicative

40:53 of satanic imagery and all these other different things.

40:56 The only problem with this video was that they altered the monster logo.

41:02 Because if you hold up a monster can next to the image they were shown in this video,

41:05 it's like, okay, this is so clearly not the same image.

41:09 So you got all these people, you know, freaking out going to 7 11, praying over the energy

41:12 drink section.

41:13 And it doesn't matter.

41:14 And so I thought this was another one of those situations.

41:17 And then I saw this, so I'm bringing this up on your screen right now.

41:21 So this is an ad, you know, another Balenciaga ad featuring a child that I had not seen before.

41:27 And I saw it on TikTok and then I saw it some other places.

41:30 This is a very, very hard image to find, okay?

41:32 But I was able to find it.

41:34 So when you look at this and I'll describe it for those of you that are not watching

41:36 on Rubble or YouTube, there is a kid wearing a black hoodie and black pants and red shoes.

41:40 And he's in the middle of this room, it looks to be his room.

41:43 And there is stuff everywhere in this room.

41:47 And there are countless blogs right now and people on Reddit that are breaking down all

41:52 the different images in this particular thing and all the different imagery that is very,

41:58 very, very concerning, okay?

42:00 So the first thing is is what the kid is wearing.

42:02 So he's wearing, you know, what it could be considered innocuous to just be, you know,

42:05 a black track suit or a black hoodie or something like that.

42:08 But when you look to the kids or the kids left, it's right in the picture, there is what looks

42:13 to be a black robe that is tied up on the ground.

42:17 So that is something that is indicative of what Satanists will use or wickens or whatever

42:21 will use when they're doing their different, you know, ceremonies or whatever.

42:25 In the top right of the image, you can see an image of a kid's drawing of Satan to the

42:29 right of that.

42:30 There is a white bunny with tall ears.

42:33 And I've seen some places where that has some occultic appeal or something like that.

42:38 And again, and there's so much thing, so many things here in the image that I can't really

42:41 get into.

42:42 There's a lot of disturbing images written on the walls that, you know, if you were to

42:46 show this to a child psychologist or something like that, they would be like, okay, this shows

42:49 some deeply disturbed behavior that's coming probably from their lived experience.

42:54 In the bottom left of the image, you see one of the BDSM bears, it's one of the bears with

42:57 makeup and it's got the chain, but then if you go to the bottom of the image, a little

43:03 bit to the left of center, you see some caution tape and to the right of the child in the

43:09 image, you see a bear or not a bear, a chair that is wrapped in this caution tape as well.

43:14 But when you go to the bottom again, it's in the bottom of the left, it's caution tape.

43:19 It's caution tape with the Balenciaga name on there.

43:22 The Balenciaga is spelled B-A-A-L-E-N-C-I-A-G-A-B-A-A-L, okay?

43:32 So this goes back to that translation that I was showing where when you plug bail in

43:36 see Aga, bail with two A's in there, it translates to bail is the king, bail is God.

43:44 So apparently this was a not so subtle nod to the people that are actually making the

43:52 claim that this is kind of what this brand is all about.

43:56 And then I saw that before their Instagram account was wiped because they wiped their

44:00 entire Instagram account.

44:01 I think they just deleted it.

44:02 They wiped out some stuff on Twitter, all kinds of things.

44:05 I heard that they would use the hashtag malloc.

44:09 So M-O-L-U-C-H, malloc or molec, okay, if that sounds familiar, that is the Canaanite

44:16 God of drumroll please, child sacrifice, hashtag malloc, okay?

44:26 So with all those things combined, you have to look at this like, this is a very, very

44:31 serious thing.

44:32 And this ad campaign was obviously not an accident or an oversight.

44:36 This was deliberate, obviously it was.

44:40 But Balenciaga just thought that you wouldn't notice or that we collectively as a society

44:44 would not care because again, you look at all the imagery and go back to the image I

44:50 showed of that young boy wearing the hoodie and all those different things.

44:53 There's so much occult and satanic and child sacrifice and pagan imagery in the image.

44:59 Like I kept looking through and it was like, okay, it's kind of like where's Waldo?

45:02 Where's the next thing that points directly to it?

45:05 These people think that we don't care.

45:07 They think that we won't notice.

45:08 We're just rubs.

45:09 Like they put it right in front of our faces so that they can always point back to it and

45:13 say, well, you didn't care about that.

45:16 So when we push for the next thing or push this line of what's acceptable, whenever we

45:20 expand the overton window to include this type of ideology, why do you care now?

45:26 Which leads me to the big takeaway on this story is remember what I've been saying about

45:30 the normalization of pedophilia.

45:33 I've done multiple episodes on this podcast about the normalization of pedophilia about

45:38 how is LGBTQ and then they're going to add P for pedophile.

45:42 But they don't call them pedophiles anymore.

45:44 We're supposed to call them minor attracted persons.

45:47 They're just maps.

45:49 These are just people just like somebody can be gay or somebody can be bisexual or somebody

45:54 can be pansexual or duper, duper, duper sexual or whatever.

45:57 They're just, it's just a sexual preference, but doesn't mean they're going to act on

46:01 it.

46:02 It doesn't mean they need to be expelled from society because they're a potential danger

46:06 to children.

46:07 No, no, no, no.

46:08 We need to be more loving.

46:10 We need to bring these people closer to us.

46:13 They're, they're just like you.

46:15 They just have a different way of seeing the world sexually, no big deal.

46:19 They're normalizing it.

46:21 And the thing about it is guys is these people, these demons that are pushing this ideology,

46:27 they will only succeed if we don't push back.

46:30 Why in the world do you think I constantly talk about equipping men to push back darkness

46:35 because it's our responsibility?

46:36 You know, I talk about this a lot, society wants to take all the strength, all the testosterone

46:41 out of men because they want to make men weak because they're like weak men are safe men

46:46 and weak men are approved, stamped men.

46:49 We love those people, right?

46:51 But a weak man is a useless man.

46:53 A meek man is a useful man, a man that is strong and capable of violence and capable

46:59 of pushing back, but leaves the sword in his sheath until he needs it.

47:03 That's what meekness is.

47:05 But they don't want that.

47:07 Like they don't want a meek man that's got all their strength on their voluntary control

47:10 or under the control of the father.

47:12 They don't want that.

47:14 But people like this, Balenciaga, these brands, these people that are doing these things trying

47:18 to normalize pedophilia and BDSM stuff with children, they will only succeed if we don't

47:23 push back.

47:24 Okay.

47:25 So last week, last Friday, I know a lot of people asked me about this in my interview

47:27 with Ryan George, um, you know, he made this statement that kind of caught me a little bit

47:31 flat footy, he was like, you know, I want to be known for what I'm for, not what I'm against,

47:36 which is such a mealy mouth, vapid thing to actually believe because it sounds good.

47:41 I want to be known for one on four, not when I'm against it sounds great to sound, you know,

47:45 will look good on a t-shirt, right?

47:47 But when you say what you're for, you are automatically saying what you are against.

47:52 Think about it just a silly example, but you know, just kind of an easy one.

47:55 If you say that I'm for cookies and cream ice cream, it is my favorite flavor of ice

47:59 cream, which it just so happens to be.

48:01 I'm communicating that I am against all of the other options when cookies and cream is

48:05 on the table.

48:06 Right?

48:07 That's a silly example.

48:08 But when I communicate what I'm for, I'm also communicating what I'm against.

48:11 If I communicate that I am for the protection of unborn children in the womb, automatically,

48:17 because this is how words work, I'm communicating that I am against killing babies in the womb

48:24 because duh.

48:27 And I got a great message from my buddy, pastor, Joby Martin.

48:30 I know I talked about a model in the show, but he and I communicate a lot because he listened

48:34 to that episode with Ryan George.

48:35 And he's like, Kyle, this is what you should have said.

48:36 So shout out to Joby Martin because this was perfect and I will use this every time for

48:39 the rest of eternity when someone says, I want to be known for what I'm for and not what

48:42 I'm against.

48:43 He said, well, you should have asked that guy is, would you have disagreed with Martin Luther

48:48 King, Jr. using the Bible and a Judeo-Christian ethic to say why black people shouldn't be

48:56 treated the way that they were treated in the United States during the civil rights movement?

49:00 Would you been against that?

49:02 Would you been against William Wilberforce communicating that he was against slavery,

49:08 that he was for the freeing of the slaves?

49:11 Because oh, well, you know, he was, you know, communicating what he was against and not necessarily

49:15 what he was for.

49:17 If you're a person like that, would you disagree with Dietrich Bonhoeffer as he was pushing

49:21 back against the Nazis in the 1930s in Germany, go read Bonhoeffer, the the autobiography by

49:26 Eric Metaxas and then read a letter to the American church, which was released by Metaxas

49:30 this year.

49:31 We had him on the show to talk about it.

49:32 But that is the exact right response.

49:35 Thank you, Joby, for giving that to me, the exact right response because imagine someone

49:40 like Ryan George coming into the public eye and saying, yeah, I would talk about this

49:45 Balenciaga stuff and I would talk about the sexualization of children and I would talk

49:49 about, you know, pedophiles and all that, but you know what?

49:51 The church, you know, we got we got our own problems in the church.

49:55 So I don't think we should be able to push back any darkness and culture until, you know,

49:58 we take care of the stuff in our neck of the woods.

50:01 How ridiculous, what a cowardly and nonsensical way to view the world because we have been

50:08 equipped with the necessary tools and weapons to fight back against the principalities and

50:16 powers of this world.

50:18 Why would we be given the tools and the weapons if we were not to use them?

50:23 Because it's a cowardly point of view coming from people that don't want to push back against

50:27 darkness because they want people to like them.

50:29 What a lot of people said in that interview and pointed out rightly is that, you know,

50:33 Ryan George kept bragging on himself saying, you know, all these people are like, Oh,

50:35 we are not Kyle, but Ryan, we love your version of Jesus.

50:38 And if I were to ever come to church, I would want to go to church with you.

50:41 That should actually concern you when someone looks at you and says, a depraved person

50:45 that doesn't believe in the resurrection and doesn't believe the gospel when they say,

50:48 I really like your version of Jesus because potentially you're not pointing out the level

50:53 of depravity in that person and that Jesus who lived a perfect, sinless life had to sacrifice

50:58 that perfect, sinless life so that you can have your sins paid for so that you could

51:02 be righteous before the just father.

51:05 So again, it sounds good.

51:06 It sounds cute.

51:07 It's going to win you some friends, but it's not going to win souls to the father.

51:11 So enough of all of that.

51:13 If we're going to push back, we're going to push back.

51:16 And that's it.

51:17 All right, everybody, deep breath.

51:19 Let's get into the next quick hitter here Kanye West going full anti-Semite.

51:23 So as we've all seen and I don't want to spend a whole lot of time on this, we've seen a

51:27 precipitous decline of Kanye West, which turned up to 11 last week when Kanye West went on

51:33 Alex Jones's show.

51:35 So first of all, he walks in there.

51:36 He's got this huge jacket on.

51:37 He's got this gimp outfit on, which is basically like a full body suit covering his head and

51:40 his hands and everything like that.

51:42 Which is crazy, but then we've, I've got a clip here.

51:44 I'm going to show you a couple of different clips of some things that he said that are

51:47 just absolutely and completely indefensible.

51:51 So we'll get into the first clip here.

51:52 It's a little bit less than a minute.

51:54 That's right.

51:55 You're not Hitler.

51:56 You're not a Nazi.

51:57 You don't deserve to be called that and demonized.

52:00 Well, I see, I see good things about Hitler also.

52:06 The Jew, I love everyone and Jewish people are not going to tell me.

52:09 You can love us and you can love what we're doing to you with the contracts and you can

52:18 love what we're pushing with the pornography.

52:21 But this guy that invented highways, invented the very microphone that I use as a musician,

52:28 you can't say out loud that this person ever did anything good.

52:31 And I'm done with that.

52:33 I'm done with the classifications.

52:35 Every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler.

52:41 How about that one?

52:42 Ari Emmanuel.

52:43 How you like that one?

52:44 Hey, Ron, you're going to do anything to fix Chicago?

52:48 I mean, what do you do with that?

52:50 I mean, Alex Jones is pretty extreme is looking around like what in the world is he saying?

52:55 Now, I can almost understand what Kanye is trying to do because he's trying to be a

52:59 contrarian.

53:00 Okay.

53:01 And you know, to a degree, I can appreciate contrarians and things like that.

53:05 You can't do that with Hitler, though, because obviously it's well established that Hitler

53:09 probably did some nice things in his life.

53:11 He probably helped a kid, you know, up on newsfeed after he fell down.

53:15 He was probably nice to puppies or all these different things.

53:17 But categorically, you can't say things that are good about Hitler.

53:21 That's never going to win you any points.

53:23 And if that's where he stopped, it would have been egregious enough.

53:26 It would have been bad enough, but then he kept going.

53:29 So let's go back to the clip here.

53:30 So help us God.

53:31 Well, I am worried about the thousands of black folks down a month in Chicago, but let

53:34 me expand on this.

53:35 That's a nuanced issue.

53:36 You know, my grandfather grew up in Dallas from a pretty wealthy family.

53:43 Also Hitler was born Christian.

53:44 Well, I've actually studied some of the history on it, but it's very interesting.

53:49 My grandfather, you know, grew up in actually some of his family spoke some German.

53:53 There's a lot of Germans in Texas, but did you know that he grew up next door to the

53:59 inventor of air conditioning and the inventor of one of the major refrigeration?

54:04 And so my issue was growing up, my grandfather told me the stories about some of the inside

54:08 baseball and the things that went on.

54:11 And but later I'm going to get into that.

54:12 I'm going to tell you some stuff about Hitler that you might not know directly that happened

54:16 to my people.

54:17 I knew.

54:18 I'd love to hear everything because guess what, we don't get to hear.

54:22 It's hidden even like our truth, the fact that African Americans were in America before

54:28 the pilgrims.

54:29 That truth is hidden that we are actually the native Americans or some of us are native.

54:34 Or the fact that what Kyrie got in trouble is pointing out that we're Jewish slave boats.

54:41 Like and then you look at Australia, they've done some of the genetic typing of the aborigines

54:46 there.

54:47 They're basically Africans.

54:48 There you go.

54:49 You know, so all of these truths.

54:51 And then the current truth about banking, about the government.

54:55 My favorite thing that I got to say with.

54:58 So I'll cut it off there.

54:59 So it goes on and on and on and keeps going on like this again saying, you know, Hitler

55:04 was actually raised Christian.

55:06 That doesn't mean anything when you're talking about Hitler as a person because you can be

55:09 raised any number of things.

55:10 But I care about how you act when you're past the age of accountability and when you're

55:14 an adult.

55:15 And when people are like, Oh, the Nazis were Christians.

55:17 It's like, did anything they do, you know, comport with what we see in the New Testament,

55:22 what we see in the gospel accounts, what we see in the words of Jesus and what you should

55:25 and shouldn't do morally.

55:27 Of course not.

55:28 So I'm just going to go to the big takeaway on this one, Kanye may or may not be crazy.

55:33 I think a lot of people are just defaulting.

55:35 Oh, he's crazy.

55:36 He's man.

55:37 He's having a break.

55:38 Maybe, maybe, but he may just be ignorant.

55:40 Like I've been around a lot of conspiracy theorists in my day.

55:44 I don't know why.

55:45 That's, but I'm like the honey to them.

55:46 They're just so attracted to me.

55:48 These people believe that 9/11 was an inside job and yet they root for the United States

55:52 anytime we, you know, we're playing as a, as a national team.

55:55 They believe that, you know, JFK was assassinated by CIA.

55:59 They believe, you know, all these different conspiracy theories about Sandy Hook, about

56:03 all these other different things, every single plausible explanation that could come from

56:07 somebody that has some random website that they put up in their mom's basement or something

56:10 like that.

56:11 They just buy it.

56:12 Okay.

56:13 Kanye could be getting swept up in that right now.

56:16 He could have gone down the rabbit hole on YouTube or on any of these other documentaries

56:21 or something like that that are saying things that are just patently untrue.

56:25 They sound plausible.

56:27 They sound like it's a smart thing to, to say again, if he's trying to be a contrarian right

56:31 now, he's doing a pretty dang good job of it.

56:35 If he's having a break, a mental break, we should obviously be praying for him.

56:39 This is obviously, you know, ammo to the people that for years now, I've been saying, don't

56:44 just buy into the Kanye thing, right, or, or yeah, or whatever supposed to call him now.

56:48 Just buy into that just because he's saying things, just because he's wearing a MAGA hat,

56:51 just because he's saying things that you agree with and you're a big Trump guy and he's

56:54 taking pictures with Trump.

56:55 Don't just go with that.

56:57 I think Ben Shapiro says, you know, live by the Kanye, die by the Kanye and there's a

57:00 lot of people right now that are looking at this man that needs help.

57:05 Again, if he's crazy, he needs mental and physical and, and, and emotional support and

57:09 all these other different things, but if he's ignorant, he needs somebody, not some sync

57:13 of fan that's just going to tell him that he's, he's the best person ever and just trying

57:17 to get famous off his coattails.

57:18 He needs people around him that can put an arm around him and be like, brother, I'm taking

57:21 your phone away.

57:22 You're not tweeting anymore.

57:24 You're not, you're not doing anything anymore.

57:26 We're going to go to rehab.

57:27 We're going to go get some help.

57:28 We're going to go do something like that.

57:29 But apparently and unfortunately he doesn't have anybody's life like that.

57:31 So let's pray for him.

57:33 That's about all we can do at this point.

57:34 All right.

57:35 Next quick hitter here, the shocking, absolutely and completely shocking revelation that liver

57:42 king is on steroids, okay?

57:44 So if you don't know who liver king is, I'm going to bring up a picture of him right now.

57:48 Look at this person.

57:50 So that's apparently a human being.

57:52 That is not a Photoshop picture, okay, because I've seen this video of him doing all these

57:55 different things.

57:56 This is a guy that has built an entire fitness brand on the fact that he's naddy, okay, that

58:03 he doesn't take any steroids.

58:06 And the reason why he says this is because he's built around, you know, a brand around

58:10 being this, you know, organ person guy, he's going to eat liver and eat testicles and eat

58:17 all these different things.

58:18 And, you know, he's going to do these workouts and it's all going to be, you know, caveman

58:20 style stuff.

58:21 And if you want a physique like that, if you want to be, you know, five foot eight, two

58:25 hundred and twenty pounds of solid muscle, then you just need to buy his supplements.

58:30 And the guy makes what I understand to be millions of dollars a month doing this.

58:35 And every time he was asked about whether or not he was on steroids, he would always deny

58:39 it.

58:40 He was very open.

58:41 He didn't off the skate.

58:42 He just straight up said, I'm not on steroids.

58:43 I've never touched the stuff.

58:45 I'm totally natural by my liver supplements.

58:47 Okay.

58:48 Now we need to go to this article according to the Rolling Stone, Brian Johnson, better

58:52 known as the organ devouring masculinity influencer, liver King, has admitted to steroid use in

58:57 a somber video shared on his YouTube and Instagram accounts.

59:00 I fully own that I have to, he said in a six minute confession.

59:03 I am as sorry as a man can be the pain statement comes in response to a video from another body

59:09 builder, Derek of the online fitness brand, more plates, more dates that reported to show

59:13 emails in which Johnson described his steroid regimen, a suite of injections costing some

59:18 $11,000 per month.

59:20 Since launching the liver King persona in August of 2021, Johnson has given several interviews

59:24 during which he categorically denied using performance enhancing drugs to achieve his

59:28 muscular physique.

59:29 He'd also brush the side accusations of steroid use from podcast kingpin Joe Rogan.

59:34 Okay.

59:35 So, so there's liver King.

59:36 I'm not going to put a link to to the apology if you want to go find it, go for it.

59:39 The apology was completely ridiculous.

59:41 You could tell that he didn't mean any of the words that he was saying.

59:44 He wasn't sorry that he did he was sorry he got caught.

59:47 All that's there.

59:48 The thing about this story that's so interesting to me is the people whose worlds fell apart

59:53 when this news hit.

59:54 Now there's a group of people that are just like, no, it's not real, even though he publicly

59:58 said, yeah, it's real and I, you know, he apologized for it or whatever.

1:00:01 They don't want to believe it.

1:00:02 The level of gullibility on people is astonishing.

1:00:05 Again, I'm going to bring up that picture again, or I'll leave it.

1:00:09 You guys saw it.

1:00:10 And if you don't have seen it, just go Google, you know, liver king and you'll get the idea.

1:00:14 This is not a normal physique.

1:00:17 Now there are physical freaks out there and I've trained with a lot of those guys over

1:00:20 the years and I've been around some of those guys, guys that don't really lift at all and

1:00:24 they're just huge.

1:00:25 You know, you see the Bo Jackson stories and the Herschel Walker stories and all those

1:00:27 different things.

1:00:28 People like that exist.

1:00:30 This guy ain't that you can clearly see it.

1:00:33 That is not a normal body.

1:00:35 There's a lot of, you know, people that are like, oh, he even got like ab implants because

1:00:38 his abs literally look like, you know, lunch boxes that were like poof, poof, poof, like

1:00:42 place on his abdomen.

1:00:43 It's not a normal stomach and, you know, he may have gotten some cosmetic stuff done to

1:00:47 his abs to make them look that way and pop and all those different things.

1:00:50 But people are so unbelievably gullible because they want that shortcut and they think that

1:00:57 they who doesn't work out very hard and doesn't have very good genetics, that they can just

1:01:02 spend a few hundred dollars per month or a few thousand dollars per month on supplements

1:01:05 that this guy sells and all of a sudden they'll be enormous.

1:01:07 They'll be a donus.

1:01:08 So my big takeaway on this is in terms of health and fitness, we have a really good idea of

1:01:14 what works and what doesn't work at this point, guys.

1:01:18 Stop buying this nonsense from people purporting to have cracked the code on bodily optimization.

1:01:25 Stop it.

1:01:27 Every few months, there's a new guy that claims I've cracked the code and wouldn't you know

1:01:33 it?

1:01:34 I can actually sell you a program.

1:01:36 I can sell you supplements.

1:01:37 I can sell you injectables.

1:01:38 I can sell you whatever and it'll fix everything.

1:01:42 You'll be able to get hard again and you'll get your muscles back.

1:01:45 You'll get muscles you ever never even thought about.

1:01:47 You'll be able to train longer and push more weight and you'll be able to do all these

1:01:50 different things.

1:01:51 You could be the next Mr. Olympia.

1:01:52 You can win your next powerlifting competition.

1:01:54 You can do all these different things.

1:01:55 I've cracked the code.

1:01:57 You need to stand on one foot, put your finger on your nose and then try to sleep, but only

1:02:00 at this hour, you know, only with this temperature in the room and all those different things.

1:02:04 I'm all for optimization.

1:02:06 I'm all for making adjustments, but guys, if you want to be healthy and fit, you need

1:02:11 to move more, eat less typically for those of you guys that are severely overweight.

1:02:18 That's the advice you need.

1:02:20 Those are the supplements you need.

1:02:21 You need to rewind me saying this over and over and over.

1:02:25 Watch your supplement, move more, eat less.

1:02:28 Now if you're in already in good shape, then it's about optimization.

1:02:31 So are you getting enough protein?

1:02:32 Okay.

1:02:33 Are you getting enough micronutrients?

1:02:35 Are you getting, you know, enough of this thing that you're lacking?

1:02:38 Are you sleeping enough?

1:02:39 Because if sleep could be bottled up and sold, it would be a PED would be illegal.

1:02:43 That's how great sleep and recovery is, right?

1:02:46 If you want to be a, you know, a ice bath person and you want to, you know, get massages

1:02:51 and you want to do all this deep tissue, great.

1:02:53 All that's great, but we know what works and it's actually really, really simple.

1:02:58 When you're at an elite level and you're wanting to get to that next level, yeah, there's maybe

1:03:01 some experimentation that you can do that's not going to make your heart explode, not give

1:03:04 you cancer and you not make it to where your, your penis doesn't work or whatever.

1:03:08 There's plenty of stuff like that out there, but we need to keep things simple.

1:03:12 If you're in good shape and you want to be in better shape, work out harder, clean up

1:03:15 your diet a little bit, skip pizza, skip burgers and fries, skip those different things

1:03:21 and you can optimize, but stop buying in to people like liver, keen, you dummies.

1:03:27 All right.

1:03:28 Next one here, the goat response by a coach during a sports news press conference.

1:03:32 So the coaching question here is Joe Missoula, who is the interim head coach of the Boston

1:03:37 Celtics.

1:03:38 So I don't follow the NBA anymore.

1:03:39 They're still losing me with all that.

1:03:40 Woke stuff.

1:03:41 I'm not going to go back to them.

1:03:42 So I didn't know who Joe Missoula was, but I did know at least, you know, because I see

1:03:45 stuff on Twitter, they currently have the best record in the NBA, okay?

1:03:48 The Boston Celtics do.

1:03:49 He seems to be doing a good job.

1:03:50 Now, after a game last week, he's doing his, you know, normal, you know, typical, typically

1:03:55 useless post game interview, or what went well and what didn't go well, you know, just

1:03:59 absolute nonsense only for like the absolute elite elite of the fans that have to just

1:04:03 hear everything.

1:04:04 And apparently at this game, there were British royals in the crowd for the game.

1:04:10 And this is supposed to make Americans excited for some reason, which all led to this interaction

1:04:16 during the press conference.

1:04:17 Let's go to the video.

1:04:18 Did you get a chance to meet with the royal family?

1:04:20 And if not, how was it like having them there in the building?

1:04:24 Jesus Mary and Joseph?

1:04:28 The Prince and Princess of Wales.

1:04:29 Oh, no, I did not.

1:04:32 I'm only familiar with one royal family.

1:04:34 I don't know too much about that one.

1:04:37 Thank you.

1:04:38 But I'm glad they're hopefully their Celtic fans.

1:04:43 Yeah.

1:04:44 Yeah, thank you guys is legitimately impossible for me to love that response and that interaction

1:04:55 more because the gal that asked the question, she did it in a nice polite fashion.

1:05:00 She kind of responded in a kind of a funny way because it's like she all of a sudden

1:05:03 realized, okay, I kind of asked him a ridiculous question and he hit me back with this.

1:05:06 It wasn't rude.

1:05:07 It wasn't mean spirited.

1:05:09 And apparently this guy, Missoula, apparently he's a Christian, all those different things.

1:05:12 He didn't know that question was coming, but he was so ready for it, right?

1:05:17 Because we're supposed to care here in America about, you know, the, the Prince and Princess,

1:05:21 you know, flying around the country and doing all these different things.

1:05:23 I don't give a crap.

1:05:24 There was a war fought in the 1770s that the winner of that war led me to believe that I

1:05:28 don't really need to care about what's happening with the royal family in another country.

1:05:31 But that's another discussion for another day.

1:05:33 Let's go to my big takeaway here.

1:05:35 This is the greatest answer I've ever heard during a sports press conference.

1:05:40 And I've got to make a specific call out right now because I was part of a group text that

1:05:44 included one of our gal listeners of this show, okay?

1:05:46 And this is a gal named Cassidy and she is a big supporter of this show and we're so thankful

1:05:50 for her.

1:05:51 But she responded to that press conference to that little clip and was like, eh, it wasn't

1:05:56 really the mic drop moment that I thought.

1:05:59 So I am calling you out, Cassidy.

1:06:02 You're super duper wrong, okay?

1:06:04 And you need to repent for the sin of not realizing that that was a tremendous mic drop

1:06:09 moment.

1:06:10 And if you keep going on like that, I'm going to prevent you from listening to the show.

1:06:13 I'm kicking you out.

1:06:14 I'm going to cancel you.

1:06:15 You'll no longer be able to do this.

1:06:17 Get with a program that is legitimately one of the greatest things that I've ever seen

1:06:21 in any news conference ever.

1:06:22 But it is the number one greatest response of all time in a sports news conference.

1:06:26 All right.

1:06:27 Okay, guys, let's get to the last quick hitter of the day.

1:06:29 So I've teed it up.

1:06:30 I tease it at the beginning.

1:06:31 I know we're over an hour in at this point, but guys, you're already in it with me.

1:06:34 So just buckle up a woke pastor hiding after I called him out for his heretical.

1:06:39 tweet.

1:06:40 So the tweeting question was by a guy named Dr. Kevin M. Young.

1:06:44 So he's at Kevin M. Young, all names spelled normally on Twitter at Kevin M. Young.

1:06:50 This was a tweet that I saw over the weekend and Ryan, one of our team members here at

1:06:53 another live sent it to me again.

1:06:55 And it made me want to talk about this.

1:06:57 I've been chewing on this response to my tweet.

1:06:59 I've realized that for me, gay marriage actually paints a more beautiful semiotic of Christ

1:07:05 and his church than a mere hetero on God's kingdom is diverse in makeup, experience and

1:07:13 belief.

1:07:14 But one thing unites above all love Kevin M. Young is a real person that exists.

1:07:24 That is legitimately something that he wrote.

1:07:27 I feel the need to read it again.

1:07:28 But I won't read it as dramatically.

1:07:29 I'll just read it straight through.

1:07:30 I've been chewing on this response to my tweet.

1:07:32 I've realized that for me, gay marriage actually paints a more beautiful semiotic of Christ

1:07:36 and his church than a mirror hetero on mirror, hetero on God's kingdom is diverse in makeup,

1:07:42 experience and belief.

1:07:43 But one thing unites above all love, love.

1:07:46 So he's one of these love people that he doesn't really know what love means because apparently

1:07:50 he's never actually read the Bible.

1:07:51 But then I went to his Twitter profile.

1:07:53 Okay.

1:07:54 So this guy, he is, you know, according to this, he's a pastor and avid lifter, coach, husband,

1:07:59 dad to Ford, to for doctorate in early church and ancient faith formation, post evangelical.

1:08:06 His podcast is apparently jacked theology, and then he has his pronouns in his bio because

1:08:12 of course he does.

1:08:13 He him rev.

1:08:16 I'm assuming that means reverend.

1:08:17 Okay.

1:08:18 So this is a guy that all that's in the profile.

1:08:21 So I'm, I'm already dying laughing, but then right, right below he him rev, I see his website,

1:08:26 doctor, Kevin young calm, so of course I click on it.

1:08:29 And when I go to the website, I scroll down just a little bit and he has my skills listed.

1:08:34 That's what he writes.

1:08:35 They're not my skills, Kyle, but his skills listed on his website.

1:08:38 Okay.

1:08:39 And it's kind of a unique way of doing it.

1:08:41 It's like percentage wise.

1:08:42 So he's like media and graphic design, 80%, self deprecation, 100% style, 65% bench breast,

1:08:49 95%.

1:08:50 Then he has integrity, 100%.

1:08:54 I am literally gasping for breath on the ground at this point that how ridiculous of a human

1:09:00 being Kevin young is.

1:09:01 I'm dying at this point to put integrity.

1:09:04 He listed that as his first skill.

1:09:06 I read it out of order on purpose.

1:09:07 That's his first skill that he lists on the whole page of his website, integrity, 100%.

1:09:13 It's like someone saying, yeah, yeah, I'm like literally the most humble person ever,

1:09:16 right?

1:09:17 Which is the least humble thing that anyone could ever, ever say.

1:09:20 And so this guy's obviously ridiculous person.

1:09:23 I find out that he's a faculty member at a seminary.

1:09:27 It's called like wind, windstone or whatever, what the heck is I'm just looking up right

1:09:30 here because I've already forgotten north.

1:09:33 I think it's north wind.

1:09:34 All right.

1:09:35 What is it?

1:09:36 North wind seminary.

1:09:37 Okay.

1:09:38 It never heard of it, but apparently it's a super woke lefty seminary.

1:09:41 So I take a screenshot of his original tweet that I read.

1:09:45 I take a screenshot of his profile that shows he him rev his pronouns and that take a screenshot

1:09:50 of his skills page on his website.

1:09:52 And then I post it on our Instagram over the weekend and then I post it with this caption,

1:09:57 which I didn't include here.

1:09:58 So let me go back to what I put here.

1:10:00 So here's the caption.

1:10:02 Imagine just thinking this, much less saying it out loud, much less tweeting it for the

1:10:06 world to see his special brand of heresy is somewhere between laughable and maddening.

1:10:11 It's terrifying to see someone like this as a faculty member of a seminary, which just

1:10:15 speaks to one of the many major issues with many modern seminaries, but I guess you can

1:10:19 expect that from someone with their pronouns and their bio.

1:10:21 And someone that lists quote integrity, unquote, as one of their skills on their website.

1:10:26 I guess it's true for him.

1:10:27 As long as he doesn't mean he's trying to have integrity as it pertains to the word

1:10:32 of God.

1:10:33 Okay.

1:10:34 So I post that on Instagram and I tag him in it.

1:10:37 And I also tag the seminary that he works out in it.

1:10:40 Okay.

1:10:41 And he responds almost immediately in my comments section.

1:10:43 Okay.

1:10:44 So this is at Kevin M. Young on Instagram responding and I got the responses up here on the screen.

1:10:47 Hi.

1:10:48 This is me.

1:10:49 I made a lot of assumptions. I am sorry that you felt the need to be so uncharitable, but

1:10:53 I hope God blessed you anyway.

1:10:55 Be well in Christ.

1:10:57 Okay.

1:10:58 So obviously not one to back away from a fight.

1:11:01 I automatically respond back to him.

1:11:03 I know it's you.

1:11:04 I tagged you in the post.

1:11:06 Feel free to clear up any misconceptions people may draw from your actual words that

1:11:10 you tweeted to which he responded.

1:11:13 It's not the words I posted that concern me.

1:11:16 It's yours and the vitriol based on a single tweet.

1:11:20 You took a lot of liberties, but I can't prevent that.

1:11:23 I can only suggest it was uncharitable and misleading drawing conclusions that were unfair

1:11:28 and false, but sincerely, be well, I just wanted to simply point out you were speaking

1:11:34 about a caricature, not me.

1:11:36 Now, I bet he was super proud of himself after that.

1:11:39 He said his phone down.

1:11:40 He patted himself on his bench press chest and he's like, yeah, this is great.

1:11:43 So I respond like this, this is where I throw down the gauntlet.

1:11:46 Okay.

1:11:47 So you don't wish to defend what you said, which is the crux of the issue.

1:11:52 You'd rather pearl clutch over me calling you out open invitation on our show.

1:11:57 If you'd actually care to interact with someone who won't syncophantically agree with what

1:12:01 you're saying.

1:12:03 Now, this is going to be a shock to probably none of you.

1:12:07 He went very, very silent after that and by very, very silent, I mean crickets.

1:12:12 I mean, not, I mean nothing.

1:12:15 And there are other people in the comments that are tagging him saying, Hey, he gave

1:12:18 you an opportunity.

1:12:19 Go on his show.

1:12:20 Like you're so concerned about his response and you just don't want to dignify the response

1:12:25 by talking about what you originally said.

1:12:28 Hear him out.

1:12:29 Let's go.

1:12:30 He's a fair guy.

1:12:31 Go on his show.

1:12:32 Nothing.

1:12:33 Not a thing.

1:12:34 And guys, I would have bet my left nut to know that he would have never responded because

1:12:40 we need to go right to my big takeaway on this, but there's two of them with this.

1:12:44 Number one, he will not accept my invitation because he's a coward.

1:12:49 And number two, guys like him don't want to be challenged.

1:12:54 They want to be validated.

1:12:55 Okay.

1:12:56 Now, not every one of you out there like that is going to be that aggressive.

1:13:01 Some of you might see see this as like, Oh, this is rather unloving.

1:13:04 I would direct you to Galatians two.

1:13:06 I think it's versus 11 through 14.

1:13:09 This is when Paul called out Peter for basically being racist and communicating to the Jews

1:13:16 or communicating to the Gentiles in Antioch that they couldn't be equal to the Jews unless

1:13:21 they held all the Jewish customs again, go Galatians two, 11 through 14.

1:13:25 I actually just taught that in Sunday school over the weekend.

1:13:27 The short version of that story is that the Judaizers, which was the circumcision party

1:13:33 that was supposedly sent by James, the brother of Jesus from Jerusalem to Antioch came in

1:13:38 and basically said to all the Gentile Christians in Antioch, yes, grace through faith, absolutely.

1:13:44 But also you need to keep all the Jewish customs.

1:13:45 And if you're not circumcised, we need to make that happen too, which if you're 20, 30,

1:13:50 40 years old, man living in that era and you're not circumcised, that's a big commitment,

1:13:54 right?

1:13:55 So going away from the message of the Bible, the message of the gospel and certainly the

1:13:58 message of Galatians, which is grace through faith alone, not grace through faith and not

1:14:03 gospel.

1:14:04 And so what Peter was doing is he had been hanging out with the Gentiles, he had been

1:14:09 eating with the Gentiles and then the Judaizers, the Jewish, you know, you know, the legalist

1:14:14 party or whatever, they came in the circumcision group and they basically said, yeah, you need

1:14:18 to stop hanging out with them and you know, yeah, we get it, but you're Jewish, you understand

1:14:23 this, these people need to become Jewish.

1:14:24 And so all of a sudden Peter stops interacting with the Gentiles.

1:14:28 He stops eating with them, thus communicating that he agreed with the Judaizers that yes,

1:14:34 in order for the Gentiles to be equal to the Jews, they needed to accept Christ, but then

1:14:39 also become Jewish, right?

1:14:41 So these, that was kind of the gist of the story.

1:14:44 There's so much packed in to just a few verses.

1:14:48 But in that, Paul was rightfully rebuking Peter to his face and publicly in front of

1:14:57 people.

1:14:58 Now, I don't know this Kevin guy personally, otherwise I would have rebuked him to his

1:15:03 face publicly.

1:15:04 So I did it in the 2022 version, which is publicly on social media, because there are

1:15:09 people that will read a tweet by a guy like that and think, yeah, that's kind of plausible.

1:15:16 Kind of like last week, when I talked about that guy that was like, Oh, you know, Jesus

1:15:18 had a trans body and they're going to read that because they don't read their Bible and

1:15:22 they don't know anything about church history.

1:15:23 They don't know anything about philosophy.

1:15:24 They don't know anything about anything.

1:15:25 They'll be like, maybe I, I wonder, let me ponder that for about 10 seconds and use a

1:15:31 word like nuance so I can seem super bright and smart, right?

1:15:36 So the reason why I would go out of my way to call this person out publicly and to rebuke

1:15:42 him publicly is because I'm using Paul as my example of when it's biblically inaccurate

1:15:49 to the point of being heretical that somebody is doing or saying a thing.

1:15:54 It is incumbent upon us to call out that behavior.

1:15:58 We see him first Corinthians where Paul basically tells people it's like, what is it your business

1:16:01 of what these people are doing outside of the faith outside the church.

1:16:05 We need to, we need to discuss what's happening inside the church, which we'll see him somewhat

1:16:08 counterintuitive to what I was saying earlier about Ryan George, but that that's just a completely

1:16:12 different scenario because we're talking about overall pushing back of darkness and sin and

1:16:15 Satan and all these other different things, but coming back to this scenario, he's basically

1:16:19 saying that if there is a problem in your midst, you must call it out.

1:16:23 And that is regardless of your wiring, guys.

1:16:25 And as some of you guys are really calm, calm dudes, you don't really like conflict.

1:16:31 You don't really like pushing back, you know, you get really, really nervous and your hands

1:16:34 start shaking.

1:16:35 Even when you get into a serious conversation with somebody that, you know, loves you.

1:16:38 That's just who you are.

1:16:39 That doesn't make you wrong or broken.

1:16:41 That's just how you're wired, but you don't get an out.

1:16:44 You can't read the words of Paul in the New Testament and think to yourself, you know

1:16:47 what?

1:16:48 I don't think that that actually applies to me because I'm wired this way.

1:16:51 So whoopsie Daisy, no, no, you're not absolved of your responsibility to push back against

1:16:56 darkness and to push back against people that are acting out in a sinful way, okay?

1:17:02 So this guy, again, if any of you know him, like, send him this segment of this show,

1:17:07 I should probably clip it out and tag him in it again, because I would love to talk to

1:17:10 him on show because I'm a fair guy.

1:17:12 I'm not going to go look up stuff and hire some private investigator and find all this

1:17:15 other stuff.

1:17:16 I'm going to hit play and I'm just going to record and I'm going to read his tweet and

1:17:19 say, make it make sense, make this make sense to me.

1:17:24 How in the world, I'm going to go back to the tweet because you know, we're, you know,

1:17:27 further on down the line here.

1:17:28 So you may forget what this guy wrote that I called him out for.

1:17:29 This was his tweet, his words, that he's not taken down.

1:17:33 I've been chewing on this response to my tweet.

1:17:35 I've realized that for me, gay marriage actually paints a more beautiful semiotic of Christ

1:17:39 and his church than a mere hetero one.

1:17:42 God's kingdom is diverse in makeup, experience and belief, but one thing unites above all,

1:17:46 love.

1:17:47 This guy is pointing to gay marriage, saying that that's a more beautiful semiotic, which

1:17:51 a, what a, what kind of [inaudible] uses the word semiotic and just everyday parlance.

1:17:56 But that's a more beautiful semiotic of Christ and his church in Christ's relationship to

1:18:01 the church than a mere hetero one, a mere hetero one.

1:18:07 What do you say that Adam and Eve had a mere hetero connection that if you go back to the

1:18:13 beginning of Genesis, when they talked about the mean, joined as one flesh, would that

1:18:16 be the mere joining of a male flesh and a female flesh, because I'm taking some liberties

1:18:21 here.

1:18:22 A guy with his pronouns and his bio and all these other different things.

1:18:25 I'm assuming he's transaffirming to if he's not, and I find that out to be not true later,

1:18:30 I will certainly correct the record.

1:18:33 But a guy like that doesn't want to be challenged.

1:18:35 That's why he went silent.

1:18:37 It's not like he hasn't seen all this.

1:18:38 He saw, he saw the post immediately and immediately responded.

1:18:41 And then when I challenge him to come on my show, to, you know, to be in front of all these,

1:18:46 you know, tens of thousands of listeners and all these other different things to all these

1:18:49 people, right, nothing, not a thing.

1:18:54 He's a coward.

1:18:56 That is the only way to categorize a person like this.

1:18:59 And I don't feel bad for calling him out for that because he's not going to be able

1:19:02 to make that make sense.

1:19:03 And he knows it because he would come on the show and he would probably do something along

1:19:08 the lines of trying to be calm and trying to be whatever, and then he would probably

1:19:11 dip out at some point when he's like, well, it doesn't seem like we're going to be able

1:19:14 to talk about this in a loving fashion and he would try to, you know, hop on his high

1:19:17 horse and hop out when I'm just going to be the one asking questions.

1:19:21 Because I'm not categorizing what he said in a different way.

1:19:23 I literally took three screenshots that were things that he wrote with his own hands.

1:19:29 The tweet, his profile and his website.

1:19:33 The only liberty I've taken so far is thinking that he's probably transaffirming.

1:19:36 I mean, if you got your pronouns and your bio, I'm surprised it didn't have the rainbow

1:19:39 flag.

1:19:40 Okay.

1:19:41 But again, when you guys get into a situation like this, you need to have pre-decided that

1:19:46 you will rebuke somebody that is sinning.

1:19:48 A lot of guys don't really pre-decide anything.

1:19:50 We just want to go with the flow and make a decision when the time comes.

1:19:53 And the example I always use is kind of the easiest one.

1:19:56 If you're a concealed carry person or if you're a gun by your bedside person or something

1:19:58 like that, but you haven't pre-decided whether or not you would use that firearm to potentially

1:20:02 end the life of someone that's trying to hurt you or your family or somebody else.

1:20:05 That's the problem.

1:20:07 Because if you're walking through Walmart and all of a sudden you hear gunshots and you've

1:20:10 got a gun in the appendix position and you know, you've got your, you know, lion's not

1:20:13 sheep shirt on and you've got your, your beard all cropped up and you got your tattoos and

1:20:17 you got all that.

1:20:18 That's great.

1:20:19 But have you pre-decided what you would do in that scenario?

1:20:22 Are you going to run towards the sound of danger or away from it?

1:20:25 If someone's between you and your exit and they have a firearm, are you willing to take

1:20:28 that person's life to save your own or to save others?

1:20:32 Have you pre-decided?

1:20:33 Because guess what? in that scenario, it's too late to decide.

1:20:37 It's too late at that point.

1:20:39 You have to pre-decide.

1:20:41 The same thing is true.

1:20:42 Guys, if you struggle with porn and masturbation and your wife and kids are going to be gone

1:20:45 for the night, you pre-decide that you are not a person that looks at porn and masturbates

1:20:48 when everybody's out of the house and you work with your accountability partners and

1:20:52 you work with whoever and you pray and you do whatever you got to do.

1:20:54 But you've pre-decided that that's not the man that you are.

1:20:58 In these scenarios, you must pre-decide that when someone is saying something heretical,

1:21:04 that is potentially leading people away from the father, that you will be the one to stand

1:21:09 up and call them out.

1:21:10 If it's someone you know, you do it to their face and you do it publicly.

1:21:14 And if you say that's not Christ-like and that's not loving and that's not the answer

1:21:16 that or whatever, go back to Galatians 2 and explain to me why Paul did it and said it

1:21:21 was okay.

1:21:22 Again, if you believe that that is the sufficient word of God, that that is the word of God working

1:21:28 through the Apostle Paul, explain to me why we should delete Galatians 2 11 through 14.

1:21:33 Explain it to me.

1:21:34 I doubt you'll be able to pre-decide.

1:21:36 All right, guys, before we let you go, we are going to do a quick resilience boost.
