This is Undaunted Life Man's Podcast.
1:20
I'm your host Kyle Thompson.
1:22
Let's get into it.
1:23
And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid
1:27
him in the manger because there was no place for them in the end.
1:30
That is Luke 2-7.
1:32
Now, it's interesting there, they use gendered language in the scripture to describe that
1:37
when Jesus was born that he was a son, as opposed to what we would know in the gender
1:43
binary to be a daughter.
1:45
And that will all come into play here in just a minute and no, I can't believe how stupid
1:50
everything is.
1:51
We just thank you so much for listening to this show.
1:53
We definitely, definitely appreciate it.
1:54
Here we are at the tail end of November.
1:56
So those of you guys that celebrated Movember, I appreciate you guys take photos, tag us
2:00
in them.
2:01
I'm trying to grow the beard back out.
2:02
Got a little hunting action I need to come up with.
2:04
I want my face to be nice and warm, but thank you to all you guys that took that seriously.
2:08
Also just want to remind you guys to leave us a five-star rating in or review wherever
2:11
you're listening to this.
2:12
That is how the show is going to get out to more people.
2:14
But also share this with as many people as you can possibly get out there too.
2:17
We need you guys to share it around.
2:19
We also need your support.
2:20
We have a donation page set up on our website, undaunted.life/donate.
2:24
That is how we're going to be able to continue to create the content that you guys have grown
2:27
to love is because we have donors.
2:28
And again, just want to remind you that we are partnered with Origin.
2:32
They make some of the best products on the planet.
2:33
They just release Jocko's creatine.
2:35
So on the Jocko fuel side, they've got supplements and energy drinks and things like that and
2:39
greens, probably the best greens on the market.
2:41
But they just released some creatine because I know a lot of you guys use that.
2:44
And so you can check that out there.
2:45
But then on the Origin side, boots, jeans, geese, all of that, guys, we have a promo
2:49
code that you can use to try out their products.
2:51
Use the promo code undaunted at checkout.
2:54
That's U-N-D-A-U-N-T-E-D, undaunted at checkout to get 10% off your order.
2:59
Okay, guys, in the quick hitter segment today, we're going to be discussing a lot of things
3:02
and some of the things, these things happen, you know, months and months and months ago.
3:06
They've just kind of been on my list and I haven't really been able to get to them.
3:08
So we're kind of clearing out a little bit of the backlog before we get to the beginning
3:11
of the year.
3:12
But we're going to talk about the ground breaking study that exposes the enormous myth about
3:17
anti-depressants.
3:18
ACT scores hitting the lowest point in more than three decades.
3:21
A British woman being denied life-saving surgery because she requested a non-transgender nurse.
3:27
Yes, that's a real story.
3:29
Armed law-abiding citizens stopping significantly more active shootings than the FBI statistics
3:33
describe.
3:34
In the last one, we will honor the last surviving American medal of honor winner from World
3:39
War II.
3:40
But today we need to talk about a recent sermon that claims that Jesus, yes, Jesus of Nazareth,
3:46
Jesus, the Christ, our Savior, part of the Godhead, had a trans body that Jesus was actually
3:54
transgender.
3:55
Okay.
3:56
So we need to set the stage here.
3:57
The date was Sunday, November the 20th, so about a week and a half ago or so.
4:01
There was an event called Evensong or Evensong that is at the location of the chapel at Trinity
4:07
College, which is a constituent college at the University of Cambridge in the UK.
4:11
So this is kind of like a chapel service.
4:13
This is where worshipers are going to come here a sermon, praise God, those types of things.
4:17
So think of it like a church service.
4:18
The speaker at this particular service was a guy named Joshua Heath, who is a junior research
4:23
fellow at Trinity College.
4:26
Also a couple of guys that are important to the story, Dr. Michael Banner, who is the
4:29
Dean of Trinity College and the former Archbishop of Canterbury named Rowan Williams.
4:34
So that is Joshua Heath's PhD supervisor.
4:38
So again, the speaker was Joshua Heath, the Dean of Trinity College is Dr. Michael Banner.
4:42
And then the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams was Joshua Heath's PhD advisor.
4:48
So we kind of have a bunch of people here in this story.
4:50
So during this, and I guess we can call it sermon, you know, for lack of a better term.
4:55
You know, didn't end up being that in the end.
4:56
But during this sermon, Joshua Heath showed three different works of art to make a point
5:03
about Jesus Christ.
5:04
So the first work of art was Henry Massaroni's 1990 work called Christ.
5:09
I tried to find a really good picture of it and I really couldn't.
5:11
So we won't be showing that here.
5:12
And then there's a couple of others that I will show the prayer book of, and I think
5:16
it's Bonn of Luxembourg, it's Beo in and I don't know if it's Bonn or Bona or something
5:19
like that.
5:20
So this is a prayer book of artwork from the 14th century.
5:23
And then John Maluels, I believe is how you say the last name, a work from the year
5:28
1400 called Pieta.
5:30
Okay.
5:31
So the point that Joshua Heath was trying to make with these works of art during this sermon
5:36
was this, that Jesus was transgender.
5:40
Yes.
5:41
That is the point that he was making by showing these works of art and some other works of
5:45
art that Jesus was transgender.
5:47
Okay.
5:48
So let's look at a couple of pieces of these artwork.
5:51
So if you're watching this on rumble or on YouTube, you'll be able to see these.
5:54
If not, you can look them up later.
5:55
But one is the prayer book of again, Bonn of Luxembourg from the 14th century.
6:00
So during the sermon, Joshua Heath showed this picture.
6:03
So I'll go ahead and bring it up here for those of you guys that are watching.
6:05
He showed this picture, which is from the prayer book, which is an artistic rendering
6:11
of the wound in Jesus's side from the spear that the Roman soldier stabbed him with.
6:16
Okay.
6:17
Now what Heath is exclaiming by this picture is that this side wound was isolated and that
6:24
it, and this is a quote from the presentation that it quote takes on a decidedly vaginal
6:30
appearance.
6:31
Unquote.
6:33
So it's a, it's a very beautiful piece of art, the, you know, the prayer book is fantastic
6:36
piece of art, but he's saying when you look at this, that it takes on a decidedly vaginal
6:41
appearance.
6:42
Okay.
6:43
And then the, the main work that he used in his presentation was from the year 1400.
6:47
Again, John Mallewell's Pieta.
6:49
Okay.
6:50
So I'm going to go and bring that up here for you.
6:52
And so with this work of art, he claims that this provides proof that Jesus was transgender
7:01
because the blood that is coming from the side wound on Jesus flowed down to Jesus's
7:07
groin.
7:08
Okay.
7:09
So for those of you that are not actually, you know, seeing this, this is kind of like
7:11
a, a golden plate and there's, there's people holding up the body of Jesus.
7:14
We can assume that's Joseph and Mary and there's angels and things like that.
7:18
And it's a naked Jesus, even though you can't see his crotch region, you can't see a penis
7:22
or testicles.
7:23
And then you have the side wound and the blood from the side wound goes down and basically
7:27
pulls in Jesus's crotch and then runs down his leg.
7:31
Okay.
7:32
So there's the image.
7:33
I'll go ahead and move on from there.
7:34
But again, he's claiming that that provides proof that Jesus was transgender because of
7:40
where the blood flowed and that you, you can't see Jesus's penis.
7:44
Okay.
7:45
So Heath also showed some other works of art, which showed Jesus's penis in a, in a nonsexual
7:50
or nonerotic way and told the worshipers that were at this service at Trinity college
7:55
and that the depictions of Jesus's penis, quote, urge a welcoming rather than hostile
8:01
response towards the raised voices of trans people.
8:05
Unquote.
8:06
Now I'm going to read that again because I got to be honest with you.
8:07
I had no idea what he's, he's meeting there.
8:09
But again, the depictions of Jesus's penis in these works of art, quote, urge a welcoming
8:15
rather than hostile response towards the raised voices of trans people, unquote.
8:20
No freaking clue what he's getting out there.
8:21
But in order to drive home his, his main point of this entire thing, Heath said this at the
8:27
end of the sermon.
8:28
This is a direct quote, quote, in Christ's simultaneously masculine and feminine body
8:33
in these works, if the body of Christ as these works suggest the body of all bodies, then
8:39
is his body is also the trans body.
8:43
Okay.
8:45
So Heath is claiming that because of these works of art, because of what we can see, we
8:49
can surmise that Christ's body, who is the body of all bodies, right?
8:55
That his body is also the trans body.
8:58
Okay.
8:59
Now, there was a lot of reaction to the sermon and there was a lot of reaction to the sermon
9:02
in the room.
9:03
So one person actually reportedly got up and shouted heresy before storming out.
9:07
So you know, hats off to that person, you know, let me know where they, where they live.
9:11
I'll go and buy them a pint and at least one person left the speech in tears because they
9:14
were so distressed.
9:15
They wanted to talk about it afterwards, but then they were unable to do so because they
9:18
were so angry and distressed and it was also reported that there were children in attendance
9:21
because of course there would be children in attendance at a service like this and they
9:24
seem to be incredibly uncomfortable, as you can imagine, with the content.
9:29
But it wasn't all bad and all negative for Heath because a very high profile person that
9:33
I've already mentioned immediately came to his defense and that is Dr. Michael Banner,
9:36
the Dean of Trinity College.
9:38
So the Dean claimed that the view that Jesus was transgender was a legitimate argument.
9:43
Okay.
9:44
So this is actually a quote from him again.
9:46
This is Dr. Michael Banner, the Dean of Trinity College quote, for myself, I think that speculation
9:51
was legitimate.
9:52
Whether or not you or I or anyone else disagrees with the interpretation says something else
9:57
about the artistic about that artistic tradition or resists its application to contemporary
10:02
questions around around transsexualism.
10:05
Unquote.
10:06
Okay.
10:07
So again, he's trying to point the thing, trying to defend this guy saying that that is an
10:10
actual legitimate way of looking at this.
10:13
And then Banner went on to compliment the sermon saying that it was forcing the congregants.
10:17
Okay.
10:18
So the people that were in the congregation that day to quote, think about these images
10:21
of Christ's male, female body as providing us with ways of thinking about issues around
10:27
chant, transgender questions today.
10:30
So again, he's talking about artwork from in some cases, you know, 600 years ago and talking
10:35
about how those are potentially going to provide us with ways of thinking about issues around
10:40
transgenderism today.
10:42
And then when Banner was challenged for even even having Heath speak to begin with by those
10:47
claiming that he was, you know, just being purposefully offensive to gain attention.
10:51
Banner said that he would not invite a speaker, quote, who would deliberately seek to shock
10:55
or a thin day congregation or who would be expected to speak against the Christian faith.
11:00
Unquote.
11:02
So this obviously made the rounds as soon as this came across, you know, my attention,
11:05
I immediately posted on our Instagram and a lot of people were like, you've got to be
11:08
kidding me.
11:09
Like, you know, some people thought it was just hilarious and the other people, you know,
11:12
got really, really offended.
11:13
And I think that all of those things are probably appropriate because I think it is deeply offensive
11:19
to say that Jesus was transgender.
11:21
Again, there's nothing that we could surmise from scripture that would give us any idea
11:26
that he was anything other than man in terms of whenever he was existing on this planet.
11:30
Yes, part of the Godhead.
11:31
But when he was here, you know, fully God and fully man.
11:34
And I don't mean man in the Greek word use sense where man actually includes man and
11:39
woman. No, I mean that in terms of the male female binary that he was male.
11:44
But then also I can completely understand how people would think that this was just kind
11:47
of funny.
11:49
Because with a lot of these worldviews, especially those that come from the LGBTQ leftist side
11:54
of things, they deserve our derision.
11:56
They deserve to be mocked and we should act in accordance with what those opinions and
12:03
what those people deserve in a lot of ways.
12:06
And as I was thinking through this, I was thinking about why is this story so important?
12:10
Because it is an important story.
12:11
It may seem silly.
12:12
It may seem like, you know, a headline from the Babylon Bee or the onion, but it is very
12:16
important.
12:18
The first reason I think it's important is that leftists and liberals have no limitations
12:22
to their quote unquote progress.
12:24
Again, we hear about progressives and progressivism and we're progressing towards something.
12:29
And you always have to ask the question, which is what are we progressing towards?
12:33
That is the end goal because even if you say utopia, everyone defines that differently.
12:39
So where exactly are we going?
12:42
But this just shows that there, there are no governors to the things that they will say.
12:46
They will literally turn the Christ transgender.
12:50
They will turn the Christ gay.
12:53
They will say, what did that moron on the view say last week that, you know, Jesus wouldn't
12:56
just attend a pride parade.
12:58
He would be, you know, the, the main person, right?
13:00
I forget what the, the main person for a pride parade or a parade would even be, but he would
13:03
be like the drum major or the whatever, like I can't even think of what they said, but
13:07
like Jesus wouldn't just participate.
13:09
He would be all over it.
13:10
And again, they, of course they would think this way because there literally are no sacred
13:15
cows within religion or anybody on the right or anything within politics.
13:20
They're going to constantly push and push and push until they've progressed past where
13:24
they feel like they can come back from, which I don't actually think they have the ability
13:27
to even think through that.
13:29
One reason why I think that this, the story so important is Jesus being a transgender
13:34
person is currently a very, very fringe view, but wait a few years because we can no longer
13:44
accept the slippery slope fallacy argument and we can no longer accept that these fringe
13:51
ideas will stay on the fringes.
13:53
We just can't do that anymore.
13:54
Like we're well past that at this point because again, just look at gay marriage.
13:59
And that's kind of back in the headlines.
14:00
A lot of people are talking about that 20 years ago, it was silly to think that we would
14:04
be okay societally in America with gay people getting married because marriage means something.
14:10
We used to believe the thing that is true, which is that marriage is between one man
14:14
and one woman for life, then we have no fault divorce, then we have the liberalization of
14:18
culture, then you know, we basically can get married without having any connection to God
14:24
or his church or any of those types of things.
14:26
And now here we are where in modernity, it was like, okay, just let us have civil unions.
14:32
And then it was, okay, we'll just let us get married.
14:34
And then it was, okay, yeah, but I need you to come to my wedding and cheer me on.
14:38
Oh, and also I need you to bake me a cake and take pictures.
14:42
Oh, and I also want you to silence anybody that would disagree with the fact that we
14:46
are getting married to begin with.
14:48
Like you see how these things have gone and that's been in a very relatively short period
14:52
of time.
14:53
You know, actually less than 10 years, what was Obergefell 2015?
14:56
Right.
14:57
So we're talking a very, very truncated period of time in our history.
15:00
And so this is a fringe view, but it won't be fringe for long.
15:05
Remember when I said several years ago that LGBTQ would eventually be adding a P and I
15:09
don't mean for pansexual, I mean for pedophile, but they're actually calling them maps minor
15:14
attracted persons now.
15:16
And that was seen as crazy.
15:18
And so far outside the mainstream and still to a degree, it has seen very, very outside
15:21
of the mainstream, but for how long is that going to be outside the mainstream?
15:25
Because again, if a child can choose their gender, why can't they choose their sexual
15:29
partner?
15:30
If somebody it can be trans gender, why can't they be trans race or trans age?
15:35
So if a 50 year old man wants to date a 14 year old girl, but the 50 year old man identifies
15:41
as a 14 year old boy, then who are you to say anything different?
15:45
Again, I obviously disagree with that vehemently.
15:48
That's kind of where we are.
15:49
It's a fringe idea now, but it's not going to be for very, very long.
15:53
Another reason why the story so important is that if you destroy truth, and I mean truth
15:58
capital T truth, not your truth, my truth, but if you destroy truth, you can control facts.
16:06
And I'm using scare quotes with facts because again, facts undergird what truth is because
16:14
if you say, you know, that the 16th president of the United States was Abraham Lincoln and
16:19
that he was assassinated, okay?
16:21
Well, there are a lot of facts that are undergirding those truths, okay?
16:27
So there had to been a 15th president that Abraham Lincoln came after there had to been
16:32
an election.
16:33
There had to have been a result.
16:34
There had to been a deemed winner.
16:35
These are all facts that lead up to the truth that he was the 16th president of the United
16:38
States.
16:39
And then there are a bunch of facts that show that he was killed, like, okay, where was
16:43
he?
16:44
Was he what happened?
16:45
He was shot.
16:46
Okay, it doesn't even matter by who when you're talking about those facts, but he was
16:49
killed.
16:50
He was assassinated while he was in office.
16:51
Okay.
16:52
So there's facts that undergird truth.
16:54
So if you can destroy truth, you can control facts.
16:59
So if you can destroy the truth that Jesus was born male, then you can control any other
17:06
fact about the gospel and the message of the gospel that you want to.
17:11
You can change it.
17:12
You can edit it.
17:13
You can adjust it.
17:14
You can go where a lot of people are going now.
17:16
There are again, you know, with a, with the gay marriage issue, there are a lot of people
17:19
that believe that what is said in the Bible is meant in the Bible about homosexual relationships,
17:25
which is that they are sinful.
17:26
That marriage in and of itself is not the union of any combination of random people.
17:32
It is the union of one man and one woman before God for life.
17:37
But there are now people that are very on the liberal spectrum within Christianity that
17:40
say, yeah, that's what the Bible says, but I don't like it.
17:43
And that was 2000 years ago, and we need to update.
17:47
We need a public relations refresh.
17:50
We need to hit the reset button.
17:51
We need to make over, okay?
17:53
So they're destroying truth and now they're controlling facts and saying, no, no, no,
17:58
this is actually what marriage is.
18:00
We've known what marriage has been for thousands of years, but you know, we know better now.
18:04
We've evolved past God somehow.
18:07
So here are the new facts and they get to be in control of that.
18:11
And if you come back and say, no, no, no, let's go back to the truth.
18:13
Well, they've already destroyed the truth.
18:15
And if you point to the truth, that in and of itself is bigoted and you're not allowed
18:19
to do that.
18:20
Another couple of reasons why this is an important story is leftist, you know, while
18:25
very zealotrous, you know, they're cowards by nature, that they may be very excited.
18:32
They may scream loudly, that they may, you know, not have anything else to do during the
18:36
day and then to scream at you or flame you online, but they are cowards by nature.
18:41
These are people that don't want their ideas challenged.
18:44
They just want you to accept them and they will shout you down and call you a bunch of
18:47
names.
18:48
If you say what they're saying is not again, capital T true, but we as, you know, whatever
18:54
you want to call us as real Christians or as conservatives or as whatever, we must push
18:59
back against these people as if they were a bully on the playground.
19:03
There's a lot of you got the advice growing up and sometimes it didn't quite work out
19:07
that way.
19:08
But when you stood up to the bully, the bully would back down because the bully has a lot
19:12
of insecurities, a lot of issues and they are a coward by their very nature.
19:17
Now, you may have tried to stand up to the bully.
19:19
You might have, you know, still got smacked around a little bit, but I bet you didn't
19:22
keep getting bullied by that particular bully, right?
19:26
These people are saying these ridiculous things like Jesus was a transgender person because
19:31
nobody is yelling back at them because only one person will stand up and yell heresy as
19:38
they're leaving that they're going to continue to do drag queen story hour because there
19:42
aren't enough parents coming and saying, yeah, this is bad and this is child abuse and I'm
19:46
going to keep talking and I'm going to interrupt this and I'm going to do everything I can
19:50
to stop this short of doing physical violence to these people, right?
19:55
It takes people standing up in a full-throated fashion saying, no, we're not going to do that.
20:01
And so again, this was at a religious service, a Christian religious service and this guy's
20:06
just waxing poetic about artwork in the tranny version of Jesus.
20:11
We have to push back against that.
20:13
And the last thing in terms of why the story is important is at some point, this is my
20:17
message to the audience at some point, you will have an opportunity to stand up against
20:21
heresy.
20:22
Okay, but you need to pre-decide what you will do and you need to be equipped to be able
20:28
to push back.
20:29
Part of the reason why some people can't spot heresy is because they haven't spent any time
20:34
in the good book.
20:35
You know, it's been a whole lot of time reading the Bible and you might hear somebody make
20:39
some sort of argument like what this guy was making and think to yourself, well, gosh,
20:43
you know what?
20:44
I know enough about the Bible to know that when they talked about mankind, obviously
20:46
that that meant women as well, Jesus is like the ultimate God man.
20:51
So does that mean that he's the ultimate she he and it almost sounds plausible and you
20:56
may start selling yourself on the fact like, yeah, this actually sounds like something
20:59
that I can get behind.
21:02
But again, you need to be spending time in the word because that will equip you.
21:06
You need to also pre-decide.
21:08
I mentioned pre-decision.
21:09
One thing that I've talked about this in several contexts is I know there are a lot
21:12
of guys out there that listen to the show that are concealed carry people, right?
21:15
But there are a lot of people that are concealed carry people that number one, they have never
21:19
trained with their firearms.
21:21
So that's going to potentially cause some issues whenever the moment comes.
21:24
But they haven't pre-decided whether or not they will use that firearm in order to potentially
21:28
end a life.
21:30
They haven't pre-decided to do what the sheep dog would do, which would be to protect the
21:33
sheep from the wolf.
21:35
So you're carrying around a deadly weapon, but you have not made the decision that you
21:38
will be deadly with it if the occasion calls for it.
21:42
So that's obviously an extreme example, but you don't want to be making that decision
21:46
at the moment the bullets are flying past your head, right?
21:50
That's not the time to sit down and really been Franklin this and you know, have a left
21:54
column, right column.
21:55
That's not really the best time for that.
21:57
But in these moments where heresy is being spouted, where Jesus is being called a transgender
22:03
person or somebody is taking the Bible completely out of context or changing the story of the
22:07
gospel, are you going to be willing to stand up?
22:12
And I mean, literally stand up against that.
22:15
If it's happening in your midst, are you going to have enough boldness?
22:18
Are you going to have the balls to stand up and be like, Nope, not on my watch?
22:23
Because some of you guys would be like, Oh, you know, I wasn't really not the time.
22:25
This is going to be really, really awkward.
22:26
I don't really know if I can stand up and do all those different things, but one person
22:31
stood up yelled heresy after the presentation was over as they were storming out.
22:36
That was it.
22:37
And I don't know how many people were there, but I'm assuming it was more than one.
22:40
At some point, guys, you will have the opportunity to stand up against heresy.
22:43
You have to pre decide what you're going to do.
22:46
All right, guys, let's go ahead and get into the quick hitters segment.
22:49
Again, we're going to be discussing a bunch of quick hitters and some of these happened
22:51
a while ago.
22:52
So let's get into the first one here.
22:53
The groundbreaking study that exposes the myth about antidepressants.
22:57
So this is according to the UK Daily Mail.
22:59
Now, shocking new research shows that shows that the theory just find the millions of
23:03
prescriptions for antidepressants handed out every month to patients is simply not true.
23:08
The research confirms that some medical professionals have increasingly come to suspect or what
23:13
they have come to suspect that the chemical imbalance theory that depression is due to
23:18
a lack of brain chemical serotonin is nothing more than a myth.
23:23
This myth was created more than 35 years ago by pharmaceutical companies to justify their
23:27
products and has been perpetuated ever since by the training and practice of doctors around
23:31
the world.
23:32
In the most comprehensive review of the research on links between depression and serotonin ever
23:36
carried out research from the researchers from the UK, Italy and Switzerland looked at 17
23:42
major international reviews that had documented the findings from more than 260 studies involving
23:48
300,000 patients.
23:50
Their findings published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry undermine the basis for decades
23:55
of prescribing of the most commonly used antidepressants, selective serotonin, reuptake inhibitors
24:01
or SSRIs.
24:02
Now, guys, I'm going to put a link in the show notes to the entire study.
24:06
So the one that was published in Molecular Psychiatry because I believe this was back
24:09
in June whenever this was put out there and it's worth your time.
24:12
I think you should read it.
24:13
So I've talked about this on the show before and I've talked about, you know, even my personal
24:17
experience with seeing somebody be prescribed SSRIs that are these very, very powerful.
24:24
And in a lot of ways, addicting drugs after spending almost no time with people.
24:28
So again, a very close person to me spent less than five minutes with the doctor kind of
24:32
describing what they were going through and the doctor prescribed them Zoloft.
24:37
And the idea was, okay, you're only going to be on this for a short period of time.
24:41
And what the doctor meant by short period of time was six months, we're going to put you
24:46
on this thing, which is supposed to change your brain chemistry for six months.
24:50
And then we're just going to kind of see how you feel then.
24:54
But for any of you that may be taken those or know people that have taken them, what do
24:57
you think happens after six months?
24:59
Do you think you just stop taking it cold turkey?
25:02
Like the best case scenario is you would wean yourself off of it.
25:05
But for the most part, there are now going to be introductions of other things.
25:09
Okay, well, let's try this dosage.
25:10
Okay, let's try this antidepressant.
25:12
Let's try to figure all these different things out.
25:15
And a lot of doctors and a lot of people and a lot of morons and stupid moms online and
25:18
things like that, they will basically say that these things are harmless, that these
25:22
things are, they're harmless and one of the things that they will say as to why it should
25:26
be provable that it's harmless is because millions of doctors around the globe have prescribed
25:31
things like SSRIs, antidepressants for decades now.
25:35
And it's, it's obviously got to be having a positive impact or else they wouldn't keep
25:39
doing it, which obviously leads to people having to question, okay, you're talking about the
25:44
pharmaceutical companies, which are tied right into the doctors.
25:48
And why would they stop doing that if it's going to continue to be a cash cow for them?
25:52
Okay.
25:53
And what this always does is it begs the big question and this, this is an enormous question
25:57
that I have not heard enough people asking enough people really ponder.
26:01
But if doctors knew that someone was depressed because of a chemical imbalance of the brain,
26:10
then how were they able to determine that without first doing a scan of that person's
26:15
brain?
26:16
Have you thought about that?
26:19
Again, we know they, I say doctors, they know that you've got a chemical imbalance in
26:26
your brain.
26:27
And if you just take these pills and then we'll keep, you know, shoving them down your throat
26:30
month after month, year after year, that this is going to somehow level you back out, right?
26:36
But do they know to what degree the person's chemicals in their brain are out of whack?
26:42
Do they know to what degree it is left or right or up or down?
26:47
Do they know exactly which chemical is imbalanced that once put back in balance will solve this
26:54
person's main issue, which they are claiming is their uncontrollable depression?
27:00
Because if they can do that without actually scanning the brain, that's incredible to the
27:04
point of being fanciful.
27:06
It's a myth.
27:07
They can't do it.
27:09
And literally we're incredibly smart as people in 2022, but we don't know Jack about the brain.
27:14
I mean, when you when you talk about actually knowing something and knowing how something
27:18
works, we have a very rudimentary understanding of the brain.
27:22
And yet doctors with just over a decade of schooling and all that, and they spend a small
27:29
portion of that on mental health issues, they're just going to, yeah, sure, here, take these.
27:35
It'll fix your brain chemistry problem.
27:39
Are you going to like scan my brain to actually know for sure?
27:42
I know we don't need to do that.
27:44
What are you going to do?
27:45
I'm just going to ask you some questions for about two or three minutes.
27:48
And then I'm just going to prescribe these pills to you.
27:49
And then we'll just kind of check back in as we as we need to.
27:52
Again, it's just it's just silly.
27:55
And it also made me think of I wonder what the next medical myth to be exposed will be
27:59
because it'll surely happen.
28:01
Like we got to know that like there's going to be another study that comes out that says,
28:04
Oh, hey, this thing that we thought for decades and decades and decades was true is actually
28:07
really not true because we have all this data now, which shows that this is actually true.
28:12
Now what we can be basically guaranteed of is that it will surely be way after pharmaceutical
28:16
companies, hospitals and doctors have all swam a few laps in their pools filled with
28:20
money at that point, because again, they're all in on it.
28:24
And I know you like your doctor and I know your doctor seems to mean well, and I know
28:27
they actually want to mean well, I know hospitals do a lot of great things and I know pharmaceutical
28:31
companies literally create things and are doing research that are helping give people medications
28:36
that that helped their entire lives.
28:38
But haven't we seen enough since 2020 about how pharmaceutical companies will act whenever
28:42
profit is the main motive?
28:44
And I'm all for them making profit.
28:46
If you make stuff that helps people, you should be compensated for that.
28:49
I'm not hating on them for making billions and billions of dollars.
28:52
I'm hating on them when they make it and they make it seem as if there's no issues with the
28:55
stuff that they're putting in people that like there's no going to be no issues whatsoever
28:59
for these people.
29:00
And again, for decades now, we've been prescribing these SSR eyes to people, not really knowing
29:06
what they were doing.
29:07
And now we have research to basically say that they weren't really doing anything because
29:11
it's idea that you have a chemical imbalance in your brain because it's serotonin and all
29:15
these different things being out of whack.
29:16
There's no proof of that.
29:17
None whatsoever.
29:19
So my big takeaway on this story is the next time you're feeling depressed, I Dr. Thompson
29:25
and prescribing for you 90 days of strenuous exercise, clean eating and an abundant amount
29:33
of sleep and rest because there is a lot of research to suggest when people are melancholy
29:40
or blue or sad or even clinically depressed, whatever that means that if these people were
29:47
to start exercising regularly and strenuously, that if they were to clean up their diet and
29:52
get all the nonsense and all the highly processed stuff out of their diets, and if they get
29:56
a good amount of sleep and rest in recovery, that a lot of those problems simply go away
30:01
or they become very, very manageable.
30:06
Why don't we hear doctors doing that?
30:09
Is it because they can't potentially profit off of telling someone they need to exercise,
30:15
eat clean and get a bunch of sleep?
30:17
Perhaps.
30:18
Is it because they know if they were to say that to somebody that that's like the last
30:21
thing most people will do, especially in America, we're so fat and lazy in this country.
30:25
If you told someone, I need you to work out every single day for 90 days or you're going
30:29
to die, what percentage of people would actually do that?
30:32
I'm going to say a very, very small percentage of people if they weren't already doing that
30:35
to begin with because again, you're not seeing a lot of people that get a lot of exercise
30:40
strenuous exercise, not just like walking around your neighborhood, but strenuous exercise,
30:45
eating very, very clean and getting a bunch of sleep.
30:46
A lot of these people are not complaining about these clinical levels of depression.
30:51
It's not something that you see.
30:53
And if somebody was complaining about that and didn't have any of those habits and they
30:56
start doing those habits, it's amazing what that actually does change in the chemical
31:01
balance of the brain.
31:02
Again, we don't fully understand it as to why it is that way.
31:06
But it's almost as if we were designed to have strenuous amounts of exercise, to not
31:11
eat garbage that's made in a factory and to sleep.
31:15
It's almost like that's part of who we are and what we're supposed to do.
31:20
So again, I am not a doctor, I'm not a psychiatrist, I'm a psychologist.
31:24
I literally don't have a pad where I can write a prescription out to somebody.
31:28
But the next time you feel like you're going into one of those areas, give that a try.
31:32
See what it does for you.
31:34
Our guys next quick hitter here, ACT scores hitting the lowest point in more than three
31:38
decades here in the United States.
31:39
So according to Fox News, the class of 2022's average ACT composite score was 19.8 out of
31:46
36 marking the first time since 1991 that the average score was below 20.
31:52
What's more, an increasing number of high school students failed to meet any of the subject
31:56
area benchmarks set by the ACT, any of them showing a decline in preparedness for college
32:01
level coursework.
32:03
The test scores made public in a report Wednesday.
32:05
This was like Wednesday back in October or something like that show 42% of ACT tested graduates
32:10
in the class of 2022 met none of the subject benchmarks in English, reading, science and
32:17
math, which are indicators of how well students are expected to perform in corresponding college
32:21
courses.
32:22
Okay.
32:23
So, but the thing with the story guys is the scores themselves are alarmingly low, right?
32:29
The average score being below 20 in most state colleges.
32:33
You need at least like a 22, I think, to even get in, like to even apply and maybe I'm just
32:38
I've been obviously applied to college in almost 20 years or something like that.
32:42
But like that's an alarmingly low score if you get below 20.
32:47
But the more alarming thing is that we don't have an educational system in place currently
32:52
in the United States that can counteract or remedy this problem quickly or perhaps even
32:57
at all because there have been a lot of people that have been sounding the drum about the
33:02
education system in this country for decades that we're lagging behind in all these areas
33:08
in English and reading and math and science in all these different areas.
33:12
But for us as a country, as a country, we still produce the best technology.
33:17
We still produce the most amount of breakthroughs.
33:19
We still have the best colleges.
33:20
We all these other different things.
33:22
We just assume that we're okay.
33:24
But what that shows is that the elite of the elite, the very top of the heap, the cream
33:29
of the crop as it were, those are the people that are crushing it, okay?
33:33
But that's not indicative of the rest of the populace.
33:37
And you don't just need a physically capable populace as a country.
33:41
You need a mentally capable populace as a country for any number of things, whether it's defending
33:47
yourself, whether it's creating jobs or creating wealth or creating businesses or developing
33:53
things into the future, caring for the community.
33:56
You need people that are physically and mentally capable of doing that.
34:00
But we're seeing massive, massive issues, and then this is just kind of the latest thing
34:04
to where it's like, okay, here's the worst it's been in about 30 years and the main reason
34:07
is because of the shutdowns, which leads to my big takeaway on this one is can we all
34:12
admit that shutting down the schools was a mistake now?
34:15
Can we admit that?
34:16
I know a lot of people are right leaning and conservatives and Republicans listening to
34:19
this show.
34:20
So there's not a whole lot of people that were huge fans of shutting down the schools.
34:23
So I think all of us were fans of shutting down the schools as we figured out what in
34:27
the world the C word was because if this thing had the death rate for children that it had
34:32
for elderly people, we would have all just completely destroyed the planet and every
34:36
single economy and not even look back because it was taken out our kids.
34:40
But that's not what it ended up being.
34:41
Thank God.
34:42
That's not what it ended up being.
34:44
But we decided to shut down our schools for something that was not dangerous to children.
34:50
And I mean, that statistically, that isn't to say that there are outliers or tragic cases,
34:54
but statistically speaking, pneumonia is way more deadly and you provide should provide
35:00
way more caution than the C word.
35:03
And yet we've never shut down for months and months and in some cases years in order to
35:08
tamp down pneumonia, but we did it for the C word, okay?
35:12
And there are still schools in this country that will shut down.
35:16
There are still schools in this country that have mask mandates.
35:19
There are still schools in this country that have V word mandates, that you have to get
35:23
the V word jab in your arm, or you can't come to school there.
35:26
I think Notre Dame was the latest one that said, yeah, in the fall, like in the fall
35:29
of next year, they're going to go in and plan to say, yes, in order to to come back to school
35:34
or it may have been in the spring of 2023 that you have to have gotten the jab there and there
35:39
is no way you can get around that as far as I understand.
35:42
But I think we should all be able to admit right now that the distance learning thing
35:47
didn't work, this idea that every single kid in America had a working laptop or iPad and
35:54
an Internet connection and was a dutiful student and had parents that were on top of them and
35:59
all these different things was a massive, massive fail.
36:02
And we should never try it again unless there is something like the black plague, whether
36:09
it is something where it's killing a quarter of the people that get it regardless of their
36:13
age or regardless of pre-existing conditions, that short of anything like that of a real
36:20
pandemic, we're not shutting down the schools anymore.
36:23
And I know that there are a lot of school districts, a lot of sheriff's offices, a lot
36:28
of, you know, teaching groups, a lot of pastors, a lot of churches that learned a lot from
36:33
what happened in 2020 and into 2021, and they're not going to do it again.
36:38
That out of an abundance of caution, they went with what the quote unquote experts said.
36:43
But when just about everything the experts told us from the beginning was wrong or later
36:48
proven to be faulty in some major way, then we just can't do something like that ever
36:53
again.
36:54
We're never going to do it again.
36:55
All right, guys.
36:56
Next quick hitter here, a British woman being denied lifesaving surgery because she requested
37:01
a non transgender nurse.
37:03
So this is according to the Daily Wire, London's Princess Grace Hospital told the anonymous
37:07
woman, it had to quote protect staff from unacceptable distress, unquote, and canceled
37:11
her operation according to the Daily Mail.
37:14
The woman's complex colorectal surgery had been scheduled for October the 10th of this
37:18
year.
37:19
The woman is a sexual assault victim and specifically requested an all female facility.
37:23
She was caught off guard when a person she believed to be a be a biological male who
37:28
identifies as a female in a blonde wig and makeup, opened the door and made eye contact
37:32
with her when she first arrived for a pre op assessment that involved intimate procedures.
37:37
Again, this is a colorectal colorectal procedure.
37:41
This prompted the woman, a feminist retired lawyer to make an urgent request for an all
37:46
female nursing staff, quote, I began to wonder if it was just a coincidence that the member
37:50
of the staff with a gender identity had made their presence felt to me in such an inappropriate
37:55
way during my first visit.
37:57
The woman told the Daily Mail, I began to suspect that I had been targeted because my patient
38:01
records showed that I refuse to use pronouns and wanted single sex facilities, although
38:06
I have no evidence of this, she said, then I began to panic that men would be attending
38:11
to my intimate care at the hospital while I was immobilized for an entire week following
38:15
major surgery.
38:16
The woman continued.
38:17
It was a slow donning realization.
38:19
I felt sick.
38:20
All arm bells were ringing in my head.
38:22
I cannot describe the fear that I felt.
38:24
I cannot rationalize it.
38:26
Okay, so I'm going to go right to my big takeaway on this one and it's that leftists are completely
38:31
full of crap when they argue that we should take people's feelings into account.
38:36
Because that's the argument that you always get when it comes to the transgender issue.
38:40
Okay, when it comes to the transgender issues, it's like, Hey, hey, hey, hey, I know it's
38:44
a little weird to have a separate bathroom or to allow, you know, boys to come into the
38:49
girls bathroom, even though that's what their biology says, it's how they feel and how they
38:54
feel is important.
38:56
Feelings have weight.
38:57
They're just as real as anything else in this, in this world.
39:00
So I know it's going to be a little strange for you, but let's take their feelings into
39:04
account.
39:05
So let's use the bathroom example.
39:07
So you're at a high school and, you know, it's an athletic locker room situation.
39:11
So you have the boys locker room and the girls locker room and you have a boy that is has
39:15
a mental issue and thinks that he is a girl.
39:18
So he goes into the girls locker room and he drops trow just like everybody else in there,
39:24
but he has bits that nobody else in the room has.
39:28
And what we're told by leftists is that this is a good thing because we are taking that
39:33
boy, which they wouldn't say, boy, we are taking that transgender girls feelings into
39:38
account.
39:39
And that's very, very important because my goodness, we wouldn't want them to feel ostracized,
39:43
would we?
39:44
We wouldn't want them to feel uncomfortable.
39:46
And we do that to the detriment of every other girl that is in that locker room.
39:53
We are told we're not explicitly, but we are basically forced to ignore the feelings of
39:58
everybody else in that room because of the feelings of this one person who, again, has
40:03
a mental disorder that requires mental health, not puberty blockers and not a scalpel.
40:08
But we're told that that person's feelings count for more than the other people's feelings.
40:14
And if any of the girls in that room think that that's uncomfortable or God forbid unacceptable,
40:20
they're labeled as a bigot.
40:22
They're labeled as a transphobe.
40:25
They're labeled as a hater as something like that.
40:28
And so you see a lot of these girls and a lot of these females in these situations, not
40:33
coming out publicly and talking about what they're going through because it really sucks
40:38
that people call you names all the time.
40:39
Now, I'm kind of used to it at this point, having a public profile and doing the stuff
40:43
that I do and doing the shows that I do on the subjects that I do.
40:46
But that's not something that I enjoy.
40:48
And certainly for a lot of people, it could ruin their entire family tree because they're
40:52
not just going to come after that girl, they're going to come after the girl's father.
40:56
And if their girl's father runs a business, like that's going to be a problem for them.
40:59
Like, and they will all descend on that family, do what they can to stamp them out and make
41:03
them feel as awful as possible.
41:05
But again, we are told constantly that we need to be more welcoming and more understanding
41:10
about people's feelings, but they don't mean it.
41:13
They simply do not mean it.
41:16
They're full of crap.
41:17
They only want you to take people's feelings into account that agree with them in their
41:21
worldview.
41:23
That's it.
41:25
That's what they want.
41:26
If you're unwilling to do that, they will stop at nothing to unleash their fury on you.
41:33
So just like I said, with the first story of the day, there's going to be opportunities
41:36
for you to step up and counteract what some of these people are saying and doing need
41:42
to be prepared to deal with that and prepared to do that.

42:15
Right next one here, armed law abiding citizens stopping significantly more active shootings
42:20
than the FBI statistics described.
42:23
So this is according to the crime prevention research center evidence compiled by the crime
42:27
prevention research center shows that the sources the media relied on undercounted the
42:31
number of instances in which armed citizens have thwarted such attacks by an order of
42:36
more than 10, saving untold numbers of lives.
42:39
Of course, law abiding citizens stopping these attacks are not rare.
42:42
His rare is national news coverage of those incidents, although those many news stories
42:47
about the Greenwood shooting also suggested that the defensive use of guns might endanger
42:51
others.
42:52
There is no evidence that these acts have harmed innocent victims.
42:56
The FBI reports that armed citizens only stopped 11 of the 252 active shooter incidents.
43:02
It identified for the period of 2014 to 2021.
43:06
The FBI defines active shooter incidents of those in which an individual actively kills
43:10
or attempts to kill people in a populated public area.
43:13
But it does not include those it deems rather related to other criminal activity, such as
43:18
a robbery or fighting over drug turf.
43:21
An analysis by my organization, this is a guy that wrote the article identified a total
43:24
of 360 active shooter incidents during that period and found that an armed citizen stopped
43:29
124.
43:30
A previous report looked at only instances when armed civilians stopped what likely would
43:35
have been mass public shootings.
43:37
There were another 24 cases that we didn't include where armed civilians stopped armed
43:40
attacks, but the suspect didn't fire his gun.
43:43
Those cases are excluded from our calculations, though it could be argued that a civilian also
43:47
stopped what likely could have been an active shooting event.
43:51
The FBI reported that armed citizens thwarted 4.4 percent of active shooter incidents while
43:56
the CPRC found 34.4.
43:59
Okay, so we need to talk a little bit more about this because you can dig into the data
44:03
and I'll put all that in the show notes so you guys can check it out.
44:06
But the media loves to ignore stories of an armed citizen.
44:11
That's a good guy stopping an armed citizen.
44:13
That is a bad guy.
44:15
They love to ignore that because the media needs mass shootings to fit a particular narrative.
44:22
Okay, and that's typically multiple victims, preferably victims of color killed by a white
44:26
male in AR 15 used occurred in a red state or red city where the killer leaves a manifesto
44:32
and you know, talks about Alex Jones or, you know, Donald Trump or somebody like that,
44:38
like that's what they need.
44:40
And they make sure the media does to ignore stories of people that don't fit into that
44:45
narrative of people of color killing people of color and can't talk about that where handguns
44:50
were used as opposed to these quote unquote assault rifles when it happens in a deep blue
44:55
area with a lot of gun regulations and gun laws.
44:58
When it happens in gun free zones, it can't fit into those narratives.
45:01
And we just saw two here recently.
45:02
So there was the mass shooting in Colorado at the gay bar or something like that.
45:06
And then there was the one at the Walmart where somebody came in and shot up all of their
45:10
coworkers.
45:11
Well, the one in Colorado immediately was like, Oh, it's all this anti gay anti trans sentiment
45:16
and all these different things.
45:17
And then whoopsie, the guy comes out and the lawyer for the person that did all the shooting
45:21
and killing came out and said, yeah, actually my client's non binary.
45:25
They want to use they then pronouns whoops, and also we're not really hearing about that
45:29
story anymore, because it all sudden didn't fit into a narrative.
45:32
So they kind of swivel back to talking about, you know, guns and guns being the problem
45:35
with the situation that happened in the Walmart, there was a guy that went in and I believe
45:40
it was a black guy, a disgruntled employee that killed, I think five or six of his people
45:46
that worked with him at Walmart that were all people of color as well.
45:49
And this guy said, you know, before he turned the gun on himself and all that that he was
45:52
led by Satan to do this.
45:55
And we haven't heard about that story either.
45:57
Like, because it's just going back to, oh, there's too many guns on the streets and all
46:00
that.
46:01
But in that shooting, it was a handgun that was used by a person of color.
46:04
We're not allowed to talk about those, right?
46:07
So my big takeaway on this and about the stats around around these things and I'm not claiming
46:11
that the FBI was purposefully trying to make these numbers seem lower that could end up
46:15
being the case.
46:16
But I don't have the evidence to support that.
46:17
But my big takeaway is don't let the anti gun crowd fool you or scare you into not carrying
46:22
and to not training, because there have been plenty of situations where there would have
46:27
been a tremendous amount of bloodshed had there not been a sheepdog there ready to go
46:31
to protect themselves and others.
46:34
We've seen several instances of this and another thing you'll hear from the anti gun crowd
46:37
even in the Christian pacifist side, like the guy that I debated over there in the UK.
46:42
These people will say things like, well, even if you have your firearm and you pull it out,
46:46
what if you miss and shoot an innocent person when you're trying to stop the bad guy?
46:49
Do you know how many times that's happened in the recorded history of the United States?
46:54
Exactly zero times.
46:55
There's not been a single instance that we have on record where an armed citizen that
47:01
was legally capable of carrying that weapon was trying to shoot and kill the bad guy,
47:06
but they missed and shot someone's grandma and killed him never happened.
47:10
So not say that it couldn't happen and it was obviously be crazy tragic if it did happen,
47:15
but it's just not something that that is real.
47:17
And I've talked a lot about on the show and I think earlier this year, I did an entire
47:20
big long episode, you know, a couple of episodes on firearms and all the different arguments
47:26
that are made and how they're silly and, you know, the statistics behind it.
47:28
And again, there's that debate I did over on Justin Briarley show over the UK with that
47:32
anti gun activist that goes around and convinces Christians to destroy their firearms and makes
47:36
them unsafe because, you know, he has some really bad reading of scripture in Isaiah
47:40
too.
47:42
And so that's just something that I want to kind of put out there to you guys is there
47:44
are other statistics out there that even if those stats are wrong, and even if the FBI
47:49
stats are exactly right and perfect, don't we want more armed citizens stopping these
47:55
things since it takes a while for police to arrive?
47:58
Don't we want more armed citizens to keep the general populace safe?
48:01
I certainly think we should our guys last quick hitter of the day will honor the last surviving
48:06
American medal of honor winner from World War two.
48:09
And that guy's name is Herschel Woody Williams.
48:11
So he died on June the 29th of this year at the age of 98 in a VA medical center that
48:17
bears his name.
48:18
So according to the New York Post, Williams was awarded the medal of honor after he used
48:22
a flamethrower and explosives to clear seven concrete bunkers known as pillboxes under
48:27
a heavy machine gun fire in February of 1945.
48:31
As all of the men in Williams company perished, he kept pushing forward at one point shoving
48:35
a flamethrower nozzle into one of the small concrete boxes, killing the enemies inside.
48:40
He then refueled his weapon and boldly returned five more times to destroy the main, the remaining
48:45
pillboxes.
48:46
And so I wanted to talk about this guy for most of the year, but obviously just never
48:50
really worked out.
48:51
I thought I was going to do an entire episode for with military stuff.
48:53
It didn't quite work out that way.
48:54
But my big takeaway with this one is as a whole, our generation is very weak.
48:59
Okay.
49:00
And I'm talking about my generation.
49:01
I'm certainly talking about the generation thereafter, but we still have some Woody Williams's
49:05
around.
49:06
So I think about my buddy Dakota Meyer.
49:08
You should read his book into the fire and think about what he did to earn the Medal
49:12
of Honor and award that he hates because it reminds him of the worst day of his life.
49:16
But there are guys like that out there.
49:18
So for all of you guys that are like me that you love to lament this generation and you
49:22
love to lament the government and, you know, maybe you've bought into this narrative about
49:25
the, you know, Oh gosh, what is it?
49:28
The military industrial complex and all these other different things like I get it, but we
49:32
still have some brave men that are willing to fight and die for this country and find
49:36
and die for the men that are by their side.
49:40
And that's a great thing that there are still people in this country that are willing to
49:44
fight and willing to fight for good.
49:46
Now it's something to be discussed about whether or not our military class, our military
49:52
rulers and our general class and certainly the people in the White House that can send
49:55
out or bring back our guys is the people that we want making those decisions.
50:02
But when you look at a guy like Woody Williams, a lot of people will say, well, they're not,
50:07
they're not quite cut like that anymore.
50:09
There aren't quite guys like that anymore.
50:11
And there are that generation is called the greatest generation for a reason.
50:17
You had guys because I think Woody Williams, he's like five, three or something like he
50:21
was short.
50:22
He was too short for the military at the time that he was trying to get in.
50:25
And so we had to get a bunch of waivers and how many stories have you heard about guys
50:28
that lied about their age so that they could go fight, they were 15 years old, 16 years
50:32
old.
50:33
They're like, send me to the front lines.
50:34
I'm going to go push back darkness in Europe, right?
50:37
Now, we don't really have circumstances like that happening right now here in the United
50:41
States.
50:42
You know, we kind of have a class of people in the military that they're that's what they
50:44
do is they're profession.
50:45
And that's what they get paid to do.
50:46
And we love the separation for the most part as a people group, but there are still people
50:51
out there that are wired like that.
50:53
They're wired to get some that if it were 1945, they would have been forging doctors
50:58
documents and faking things and just showing up to go and fight and push back darkness.
51:02
And I love that about this country and I love it still.
51:05
