1:16 We have a partnership agreement with Daily Wire and specifically Daily Wire Plus.

1:20 So you're going to be hearing us talk a lot about Daily Wire here specifically this month

1:26 with all of our different podcasts.

1:27 You probably heard the ad on Tuesday show with Joby.

1:30 But for me personally, I've been consuming Daily Wire content.

1:33 It kind of started with Ben Shapiro stuff.

1:35 This would have been before the 2016 election.

1:38 And so I've just been consuming Daily Wire stuff for a long time.

1:41 At first I became a Daily Wire Plus subscriber just because I wanted to help them and all

1:44 the stuff that they were doing.

1:46 But they have given me a lot.

1:47 So from their articles on their website, from the stuff on Daily Wire Plus, all the streaming

1:52 content, the movies, the series and things like that, me personally, I've benefited very

1:56 much so from all of that information because it's helped me kind of solidify some of my

2:00 conservative philosophies, consuming this stuff from all of their different authors and podcasters

2:07 and things like that.

2:08 So it's really, really, really been helpful for me.

2:09 And so we have an opportunity for you guys to get a Daily Wire Plus membership at a discount.

4:02 So today we're going to be talking about in the quick hitter section, the 12-day war

4:05 with the US and Israel versus Iran.

4:08 New York City likely electing a bonafide communist to be their next mayor, Muslim fundamentalist

4:12 killing over 200 Christians in Nigeria, a child therapist pleading guilty to distributing

4:17 videos of infants being raped, the American Medical Association doubling down on their

4:21 commitment to transing the kids, the UK decriminalizing abortion, a US congresswoman using

4:27 her baby boy as a prop, me landing an Instagram jail, and then also the lesson we can learn

4:34 from the Oklahoma City Thunder winning the NBA championship.

4:36 But first, we're going to be talking about the three branches of government, which if

4:40 you ask random people on the streets that went to public school, they probably don't

4:43 know what those three branches are.

4:44 But there's obviously the executive, the legislative and the judicial branches.

4:49 But over the last, I don't know what you could say, certainly the last 10 years, but maybe

4:52 20 years, there's become an outsized importance and gravitas given to the executive branch.

4:59 Right?

5:00 A lot of things kind of revolve around who the main executive or the president of the United

5:03 States is going to be.

5:04 And that's through the detriment of the legislative branch, again, Congress does not really have

5:08 high marks when it comes to the public, you know, people don't like the Senate.

5:11 They don't like the house.

5:13 There's too much log jam, which was kind of the point from the beginning from the founders.

5:16 But you've seen the legislative branch come down importance and the executive branch

5:19 be elevated.

5:20 But potentially the biggest fight inside of our country is how the judiciary is going

5:26 to be used because specifically people that are on the left side of the ledger, they know

5:30 that they're going to have a lot of left leaning judges that are going to allow them

5:33 to do the things that they want to do in order to basically affect the culture and affect

5:39 everything going on in this country in kind of a top down manner.

5:43 Now, if we go all the way back, I've already mentioned the 2016 election earlier in this

5:47 podcast, let's go all the way back to that.

5:50 Yeah.

5:51 Donald Trump running against Hillary Clinton.

5:52 And as I've said many times on this show, I did not vote for president that year.

5:56 I left the top of my ballot blank because I did not think that Trump nor Hillary Clinton

6:00 that my basic standards of human decency. And I didn't think either one of them would

6:04 govern conservatively. And I remember having a conversation with my uncle Dan before the

6:08 election. And he goes, Kyle, I understand, you know, Trump's got, you know, his foibles.

6:11 He's got his warts and all those different things. But the Supreme Court is way too important.

6:15 And I was like, yeah, but this and yeah, but that and I kind of meandered around and then

6:19 lo and behold, uncle Dan was right because Donald Trump got three appointees to the Supreme

6:26 Court of the United States during his first term.

6:28 Okay. He got Neil Gorsuch. He got Brett Kavanaugh and then he ended with Amy Coney Barrett. Okay.

6:33 So obviously this had huge ramifications and continues to have huge ramifications because

6:38 those three joined the two other reliably conservative justices in Clarence Thomas and

6:43 Samuel Alito. And then one kind of squishy centrist and John Roberts. But together,

6:48 those six people, they make a semi reliable conservative majority with Sonia Sotomayor,

6:53 Elena Kagan, and hilariously stupid, Kintanji Brown Jackson, making up the staunchly reliably

6:58 leftist liberal activist minority of the Supreme Court. Now the importance of the conservative

7:04 majority Supreme Court has been on full display here over the last few weeks because we got

7:09 a bevy, a very important decision that were passed down. Again, they're about to be done

7:13 with or they are done with their term officially now. So typically in June, we get all these

7:17 incredibly important decisions. But I want to do a little rundown of four of the most

7:21 important decisions that we got from this legislative term from the Supreme Court. The

7:25 first is the Tennessee translal. So this is United States versus Scirmetti. So in terms

7:29 of the background, back in 2023, Tennessee had SB one and this banned puberty blockers

7:35 and hormone therapy for minors when used to quote unquote affirm a gender identity different

7:39 from their birth sex. So this would basically allow for treatments for other medical needs,

7:44 but not for something like this specifically. And then the ruling came down on June the

7:48 18th and the 63 decision with Chief Justice Roberts writing the law. And he says that

7:53 it does not constitute sex based discrimination. And thus, it is subject only to a rational

7:58 basis review, which essentially the court found that Tennessee met. So the majority emphasize

8:03 that the medical and age based distinctions, not gender identity were central. So the

8:08 dissensions were sodomy or, you know, the main dissension was sodomy or she was joined

8:11 by Kagan and Jackson. And they argued that the law masks sex discrimination and it harms

8:17 vulnerable classes, if you can believe it. And the skinny on this one is it gives the

8:21 state's sovereignty when it comes to medical decisions. And it upholds that quote unquote

8:25 gender transition, you know, medical interventions for children's for children does not hold

8:30 up once it's under scrutiny. Okay, so that's one. The second is LGBTQ children's books

8:36 opt out provisions. This is Carson versus making. So the case was Christian and other religious

8:41 parents in Maryland sued to allow an opt out from classroom readings containing LGBTQ themes

8:47 that conflict with their sincerely held religious beliefs. So essentially, Maryland was like,

8:52 Oh, it's going to be too complicated to, to, you know, allow certain people to opt out

8:56 and other people not to opt out. So parents, you just basically don't have any rights.

8:59 Okay. So the Supreme Court ruling handed down on June the 27th in a 6, 3 ruling authored

9:04 by Justice Alito. The court held that parents do have a constitutional right under the free

9:08 exercise clause to opt their children out of such instruction. The dissent came from the

9:13 liberal trio. This was led by Sotomayor. It argued this effectively gives parents a veto

9:19 over curriculum content threatening inclusive education, which of course it does. And the

9:23 skinny on this one is that parents get to decide whether or not to expose their children

9:27 to LGBTQ propaganda in schools. So a third decision that was handed down, this is the

9:31 Texas pornography age verification law. So this is free speech coalition, Inc. versus

9:36 Paxton. So the background was is there's a Texas law requiring age verification via

9:40 government ID or transactional data to access online pornographic content. Okay. So this

9:45 was a shield for minors from that. So the ruling came down on June the 27th in a 6,

9:50 3 decision. Justice Thomas upheld the law finding that it reasonably tailored to protect

9:54 children and to not overly burden adults that wanted to masturbate looking at pornography.

10:00 So the dissent was all three of the liberal justices. They said that it was concerning

10:04 for free speech and for privacy and for cost burdens on adults or some such nonsense. But

10:09 the skinny on this one is that it is in a port. It supports a mechanism for families

10:14 that wish to guard their children from pornography. So seems rather reasonable. Excuse me. And

10:19 then the last one, and this one's perhaps the most important one and has the widest ramifications,

10:23 the nationwide injunctions and birthright citizenship. So this is Trump V. Casa, Inc.

10:28 And so the issue is whether lower courts can issue nationwide injunctions, you know, such

10:33 as the block on Trump's executive order that aims to end birthright citizenship for children

10:37 born as non-citizens. Okay. So basically the ruling handed down on the 27th and a 6,

10:41 3 majority led by Justice Barrett held that judges lack authority to, to impose kind of

10:48 blanket nationwide injunctions, right? So instead this remedies, the remedies that are

10:53 put forth need to be individualized. So the prior injunctions blocking birthright policy

10:57 could be vacated and, you know, requiring case by case decisions. The dissent was sodomior

11:02 Kagan and Jackson. It warned that this weakens judicial checks on executive actions and

11:06 it could jeopardize constitutional protections for immigrants. But essentially what this

11:11 give, what the skinny on this one is that activist leftist judges can't unilaterally

11:15 stop the agendas of Republican presidents. Okay. So one, you know, lower court judge can't

11:21 see something that Trump's doing and be like, I don't like that. And then put a blanket

11:24 ban across the country. Now for conservatives that are very excited about this, I want you

11:29 to remember we're not going to be in the White House for forever. So there will be Democrats

11:33 that will use this ruling as well. So it's a little bit of a catch 22 double edged sword

11:37 here. But as I said, each one of these cases was decided six to three with all the Republican

11:44 nominated justices deciding with sanity and all the Democratic nominated justices deciding

11:48 within sanity. But let's take a stroll into a parallel universe for a second. Let's say

11:53 that Hillary Clinton had won the 2016 election. Okay. Now I know about the butterfly effect

11:57 and everything's different. If one thing has changed and we can't actually live in a parallel

12:01 universe, but you know, just follow me for a little bit. Let's just assume that Hillary

12:05 Clinton had gotten three nominations and that they were all approved and put on the court.

12:10 So essentially the court would look like this. You would have two reliable conservatives

12:14 in Thomas and Alito. You would have one non reliable conservative in Roberts. And then you

12:19 would have reliably leftist liberal activists at a minimum you would have sodomy or in Kagan.

12:25 And you would have Hillary's one, two and three picks and then likely another Democratic

12:29 pick. Okay. Perhaps it would have been a Republican pick, but let's, let's just say

12:33 it would have been another Democratic pick. So we'd be looking at a reliably six to three

12:39 and in some cases, seven to two because of Roberts, leftist liberal activist majority

12:43 on the court. Think about where we'd be sitting right now. So now again, who knows what cases

12:50 would have been heard and how they would have gone down, how they would have been voted

12:53 and who was the president after Hillary? And I like, I get it. But here's something that

12:57 I can guarantee you Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey would not have been overturned.

13:03 I mean, duh, that would have probably never even been heard by the court had been a six

13:07 three majority in the other way. But also let's look at the four cases that I explained

13:11 earlier. And here's what I can guarantee you about those. The ruling would have been six

13:16 to three in the leftist liberal activist direction when it comes to the basically all these other

13:23 laws. So which means they would have struck down the Tennessee law that would have protected

13:27 gender confused children from being butchered and destroyed by evil doctors and hospitals.

13:31 They would have ensured that public school parents would have no say in protecting their

13:35 children from vile, filthy pornographic LGBTQ propaganda in schools. They would have made

13:41 sure to allow pornography companies to continue having the easiest of easy, easy access to

13:46 our children. And they would have made sure that leftist liberal activist lower court

13:50 judges could unilaterally stop the agendas or Republican presidents. All that would have

13:55 happened pretty much immediately. So yes, thank God for the current makeup of the Supreme

14:03 Court. And this matters and should matter to Christians for a few different reasons and

14:08 then we'll get into the quick hitters. And specifically for Christian men, the first reason

14:12 this matters is that elections have consequences. Okay, you've heard me say that you've heard

14:17 Albert Mueller say that you've heard a lot of people say that because guys, I'm just

14:21 so tired of hearing from men that complain about the outcomes of elections and what's

14:25 going on in this country. But guys, if you don't vote, then you don't get to [inaudible]. Like

14:28 I don't want to hear it. Okay. Like if you're not going to get out of your house and go

14:33 down to your polling station and cast your ballot for a local election or a national election,

14:38 then I don't want to hear you complaining about the consequences, the downstream consequences,

14:42 whether they directly affect you or not. And the second thing is here is for Christians

14:47 to not buy into the argument that we are supposed to somehow be above the political process.

14:52 Because I've heard a lot of people do that. That's kind of the Benedict option and some

14:55 different things like that. Hey, Christians just kind of pull away from this political

14:59 process. Hey, for president, if there's not a candidate that is essentially Jesus, then

15:04 we can't vote for that person because they're, you know, it's not the lesser of two evils.

15:08 And you know, we're not going to vote for evil and those types of things. A lot of Christians

15:12 have bought into that nonsense. And guess what, guys, the arguments sound like they're

15:16 coming from the religious right, but they're not leftist organizations are the ones that

15:23 are trying to convince Christians. Yeah, you're right. You should probably sit this one out

15:27 because we you can look at the Bible and make any type of a biblically based argument that

15:32 Christians should abdicate responsibility from the political process. Because we're supposed

15:38 to push back darkness, like those that love God should hate evil, right? And one of the

15:43 ways that we can push back against darkness and push back against evil is by putting righteous

15:48 and morally upstanding people into positions to represent us because we are constitutional

15:52 republic. And that's our setup. And so for Christians, especially you Christians, don't

15:57 buy into this nonsense that somehow this doesn't have anything to do with you. And the last

16:00 thing here, guys, is if we fall asleep with the wheel, right, we take our foot off the

16:05 gas or, you know, I was explaining this to somebody here recently. This is when I was

16:08 talking to John Cooper. This is before he relaunched Cooper stuff, right? Because he

16:12 was kind of, you know, waffling as to whether I should bring it back. He's, and you know,

16:16 he and I were having dinner. And he's like, yeah, you know, I feel like with the way the

16:21 country's going, like to a degree, it feels like we've won. And you know, the leftist seem

16:24 to be running and they're down on the mat. And this is what I told John Cooper, I said,

16:27 John, I know it seems that way. But if I'm fighting somebody like, like, like a fight

16:34 for my life, if I'm fighting someone like that, I don't stop until they stop moving,

16:40 right? I don't stop when I knock them down. I don't stop when I trip them and they fall.

16:45 Like that's not when you stop when they're on their ground and they're bleeding and hurt.

16:50 They're still breathing. They can get up, right? So when I fight for my life, I don't

16:55 stop until you stop moving, right? The same thing is true here. Yes, there have been some

17:01 legislative wins because Trump is now in office. Yes, it is a better thing for this

17:06 country that Democrats are not in control of both houses of Congress. Yeah, they're

17:10 not in control of the house. They're not in control of the Senate. Yes, that is a net

17:13 positive. But as John Cooper has said on his show, and as I've echoed, Republicans are

17:17 going to get us to hell too. They're just going to get us there a whole lot slower than

17:21 the Democrats are. Democrats are on the express a train, right? Trying to get us to hell as

17:25 quickly as possible, moving in all these nefarious and negative positions. But guys, if we stop

17:30 paying attention, because our guys in office, right? Because we can wear our MAGA hat without

17:34 shame, because we can say things online and not get, you know, busted up too bad by social

17:39 media, you know, our social media betters or things like that, then sometimes it's going

17:42 to lull us to sleep. Because right now the left is activated in this country. The Democratic

17:47 Party is crazy right now. It's accessible. The people that they're elevating, it doesn't

17:52 seem to be boat, you know, boating well for them in the future. But I think that this

17:57 is one of those times where we have to make sure that we keep our foot on the gas and

18:01 we keep pushing back against darkness. Hey guys, real quick, as you've heard me describe

18:05 before, I am incredibly conservative about the supplements that I take. I spent years

18:10 being terrified of putting different products in my body because I didn't know what they

18:14 were made with or if it was going to be kind of fly by night companies using all kinds

18:17 of crazy ingredients. So I've always wanted to partner with an American company that only

18:23 uses the highest quality ingredients. And that's why I want to remind you that we are

18:27 partnered with Jocko Fuel. Jocko Fuel is Jocko willing supplement company that is based here

18:32 in the United States. So what are some of my favorite products that they make? So they

18:35 make whey protein powder and guys, they just released a cookies and cream flavor not that

18:39 long ago. And it is ridiculously good. Make sure you use it with milk makes it even better.

18:43 They also make clean energy drinks. I finally decided what my favorite was and that's pink

18:47 lemonade. That is my favorite of all their flavors. But they also have the best tasting

18:51 greens powder on the market. I prefer the peach flavor myself. They also make pre-workout

18:56 and ready to drink protein. So I actually mix the ready to drink protein in my boy's

19:00 milk and they love it. They're constantly like Dada banana milk banana milk. So we got

19:04 to hook that up in the Thompson household, but I also use their krill oil, fish oil,

19:09 creatine, vitamin D and their sleep aids. And guys, they've got new stuff coming out all

19:13 the time and a bunch of stuff I didn't even have time to mention. Guys, if you take your

19:16 health and wellness seriously, then you simply can't afford to put cheap and inconsistent

19:37 All right, let's get into the quick hitters. Let's start with the 12 day war with the United

19:41 States and Israel versus Iran. So I talked about this on last Thursday's episode with

19:44 Mark Moyen Mullen. So we got into a few of the details. But since I last spoke about

19:48 it on the show, the US has actually gotten in on the action doing it very coordinated

19:52 and frankly ridiculously impressive mission to essentially destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities.

19:57 And so I have some some quick thoughts on this as I've been thinking over the last couple

20:00 of weeks. So let's get right into those. So this should be simple, right? This should

20:05 be simple for everyone to understand. But Iran is a nation controlled by jihadists, okay?

20:11 Juhatas don't care if they die. They would actually prefer while they're killing you

20:16 to also die in the process because then they get all those virgins in the afterlife, right?

20:21 Ergo. Juhatas that don't care if they die simply cannot have a nuclear weapon. Again,

20:27 I don't know how this is hard, right? So as a lot of people pointed out on the internet,

20:31 like Democrats are like, hey, hey, it's okay if Iran goes nuclear, it's okay if they have

20:35 a nuclear weapon, what's the big deal? But hey, you can't have a gun. Couldn't possibly

20:39 do that, right? So make it make sense. Another thing. So Joby actually texts me after my

20:44 last episode where I talked about this. And he was talking specifically about preemptive

20:48 strikes and self defense. And he said specifically like, Hey, David didn't wait for Goliath to

20:52 take this first shot. You know what I mean? So these people are like, Oh, this isn't defensive.

20:57 This is offensive. And it's it's violative of all these different things. It's like it

20:59 just doesn't make sense. Because the thing about it is those that are advocating for peace

21:03 and for negotiations and why can't we all be friends? These people can only do that because

21:07 they live in a country protected by a bunch of toxically masculine dudes. So you're sitting

21:11 in your air condition apartment in New York City, or in Austin, Texas, or, you know, some

21:15 liberal enclave here in this country, and you're sitting there like, well, there weren't

21:17 so mad or even people on the right people that are pretty divisive. And they don't think

21:21 we should be in regime change wars and all that, even though I still maintain that pretty

21:25 much every war is a regime change war, because whether you are getting specific people out

21:29 of office and putting new people in, you want the regime to change how they're acting, right?

21:35 So even if we don't want to completely replace every person that's in power, we want them

21:39 to change how they are running their regime. So every war is essentially a regime change

21:43 war. But then this comes into the discussion of just war theory, because people think that

21:48 preemptive attacks are unacceptable via just war theory. But if you've studied just war

21:53 theory, preemptive attacks are acceptable. They're just and they are moral. Okay. Because

21:59 this, this blends into a discussion of peace through strength, which I'm a huge fan of,

22:03 by the way, as an approach to foreign policy and also just generally to, you know, life

22:07 in general, right? But you have to have the strength part to even have a chance for the

22:12 peace part, right? Peace through strength. Okay, how do we get peace through strength?

22:19 If you don't have displays of strength, you don't carry that big stick, then how is peace

22:23 going to come? It's going to come by accident if it comes at all. And then I, you know,

22:28 also have a message for all the pacifistic Christians out there that don't think that

22:32 Americans should have done this and that we don't, we should never heard a fly. And if

22:35 you're a huge fan of Shane Clayborn, you think he's a smart guy and all that, I think you

22:38 guys need to read Revelation again. Okay. Did Jesus come back to negotiate? Right? I'm

22:46 pretty sure he doesn't. Okay, he comes back his, his hair is wide, his, his eyes are like

22:51 fire. He's got a tattoo on his leg. He's got a sword in his mouth. He's on a horse. He's

22:56 got a head with many crowns on it. His robe is covered in blood. Is that the blood from

23:01 the cross? Is that the blood of his enemies? We don't exactly know, but he's not coming

23:04 back here to negotiate. And I don't think Jesus is going to be waiting on a punch before he

23:08 throws a counter. Okay. Next quick, at her here, New York City likely electing a bonafide

23:13 communist to be their next mayor. So this is according to USA Today on June the 25th,

23:17 Zoron Momdani, a 33 year old democratic socialist state assembly member upset mainstream democratic

23:23 politics by defying expectations and taking a commanding lead in the June 24th, New York

23:27 City mayoral primary. Just after midnight, he addressed supporters saying that he and former

23:31 governor Andrew Cuomo, the moderate Democrat who was the front runner need to bring the

23:35 nation's largest city together. Tonight, we made history. Momdani boasted to a celebrating

23:40 crowd and queens with 96% of the vote counted. Momdani led Cuomo 44 to 36 in first place

23:46 votes. So I'm Donnie is going to be the democratic representative, which essentially guarantees

23:49 that he is going to win the race for mayor in New York City. There's some people that

23:54 are trying to put a whole bunch of money behind different candidates. They're trying to make

23:57 sure that there's not two independent candidates that are, you know, with, with, you know, current

24:01 mayor Adams and then former governor Cuomo, making sure that they don't split votes.

24:05 But essentially, mom Donnie is essentially guaranteed to win. So a few weeks ago, right?

24:10 No one knew who Zoron Momdani was. I'd heard the name, but I wasn't paying attention to

24:13 him. But now he's talking to the town because everyone's got to hear about who he is and

24:17 what he's about. So who is he? Again, he's 33 years old. He's a Muslim. He was born in

24:21 Uganda. He's only been a United States citizen for seven years. And he's part of the DSA,

24:25 the democratic socialist of America. And he is basically a communist. And I say basically,

24:30 he is a communist, right? Everything that he believes is communist. So just a few generic

24:34 questions here for people to consider before we move on. In general, do you think it's

24:39 a good idea for someone that has only been a US citizen for about seven years to run

24:44 our country's largest and most populated city? Also, in general, do you think it's a good

24:50 idea for someone in their early 30s to run our country's largest and most populated city?

24:57 And in general, do you think it's a good idea for an open communist to run our country's

25:01 largest and most populated city? Just a few generic things to think about. But now we

25:07 need to talk specifically about Momdani and what he actually believes and what he thinks

25:11 his legislative agenda should be. So for New York City and probably as a wider thing,

25:17 he thinks that they should abolish the New York Police Department, the NYPD, they should

25:21 abolish prisons. They should abolish medical bills. I don't know how you would do that.

25:25 They should abolish private health care, ban all guns, legalize sex work, create safe

25:31 injection sites for people to shoot up drugs, end cash bail, to criminalize drug possession,

25:36 and sentencing enhancements and end all cooperation with eyes. Now, there's a whole lot more.

25:42 That's just kind of the, you know, the highlights, but also he's very pro jihadist, like he's

25:47 very pro of a lot of jihadist groups. I mean, he's been given multiple opportunities to

25:52 decry some previous statements that he made saying that there should be a global intifada,

25:58 okay, to globalize the intifada. But he refuses to take back those previous statements. Intifada

26:04 is basically an uprising, a Muslim, Islamist uprising. He doesn't want to decry that because

26:09 he's actually pro that. So in terms of how he won, because again, everyone was pretty

26:14 shocked by the fact that he won, according to the exit polling, he overwhelmingly won

26:19 with educated rich white people. And he lost by wide margins with poor whites, black and

26:26 brown people and blue collar workers. So essentially the people that would be the least impacted

26:32 by all of his terrible legislative ideas and his agenda. Those are the ones that voted

26:37 for the ones that aren't going to be impacted by this. So my big takeaway is on this one

26:41 is, you know, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. But this particular stupid game could

26:46 negatively impact the entire country. Because for me personally, I don't generally care

26:51 about politics and jurisdictions that I don't live, right, in terms of how it affects the

26:55 local populace. So if you live in, you know, random town, wherever Wyoming, I don't really

27:01 care about your mayor race or any of those types of things. But this is a description

27:07 of the new normal, because this is the mayor of our largest city. Okay. Economically speaking,

27:14 one of the most important, if not the most important cities in the entire country. And

27:19 what Mumdani being elected in terms of, you know, winning the democratic primary and then

27:25 eventually to be elected as the mayor of New York city, this is the new normal, the democratic

27:29 party. Because AOC is a huge fan of this guy. There are people that are already talking

27:34 about him trying to run for something more in a national context, whether you know, he

27:38 is able to do so legally or not. But it goes to another one of my big takeaways, which

27:43 is the future of the left, right, the capital L left in America is terrifying. Because if

27:49 you just read down everything that this person believes, you would think that this person

27:54 shouldn't win a mayoral race for a city that has 500 people that live in it, much less

28:00 the city with millions and millions and millions of people. But this is what is considered

28:06 okay and positive for left-leaning people in America, especially people that have had

28:10 their brains rotted by going to our American university through our American university

28:14 system. Like, if you want a description or an argument for the fact that our American

28:21 university system is just something to make you a leftist gay person or somebody that

28:25 has these crazy and sane beliefs in systems that have never worked once in the history

28:30 of human civilization, look at this. Look at Mumdani becoming the, you know, very likely

28:36 to be next mayor of New York City. And the last quick hitter on here, it's gonna be a

28:41 little bit controversial, but we'll lean into it. It took them about a quarter of a century.

28:46 But the jihadist will soon claim New York City. So September 11, 2001, jihadist flew

28:52 planes into the world trade centers, uh, knocking those down, killing thousands of people and

28:58 Osama bin Laden and the people of his ilk. The number one thing they wanted to do is they

29:02 wanted to take down this country and they wanted to start with our most populated and

29:06 most famous city. And here we are years later. And so some people are like, Oh, you're just

29:12 overacting to the fact that he's a Muslim. Well, I've said on, on record and I completely

29:16 believe it, Islam is not compatible with the West. And so you might be thinking of a person

29:22 in your life that you know, that is Muslim and well, he doesn't act like the people of

29:26 Boko Haram or the, the people of Al Qaeda or the people of ISIS or any of these, these

29:29 types of groups. Right. And also that means that they're not comporting themselves in

29:35 a way that is appropriately Muslim. You know, we'll, we'll get to another story here in

29:39 just a second where we'll talk more about that. But this is a pro jihadist Muslim. That's

29:46 about to be the mayor of the city that was almost brought to its knees by jihadist Muslims.

29:55 I mean, you just can't make this stuff up. But this gets right into the next quick hitter

29:59 here. Muslim fundamentalist killing over 200 Christians in Nigeria. And if you think I'm

30:03 repeating a story that I've talked about before in the show, I'm not, this is a fresh

30:07 new one. So this is according to protesting on June the 13th. In the early hours of Friday

30:11 June the 13th, 2025, more than 200 Christian villagers were slaughtered by heavily armed

30:16 Fulani, jihadist, and yellow water, a farming community in Guma County, but new state. This

30:21 mass killing is part of a disturbing wave of targeted violence that has swept across

30:25 central Nigeria in recent weeks. The attack began around 10 p.m. Thursday night, according

30:29 to the witnesses, over 40 gunmen stormed the village on motorcycles and pairs shouting

30:33 Allahu Akbar as they open fire on civilians, moving from house to house, setting homes

30:38 on fire and killing indiscriminately. So my big takeaway on this one is this is exactly

30:44 what the prophet Muhammad would want Muslims to do. But nobody wants to reckon with it.

30:52 There are times when I feel like I'm, I'm just screaming into the void because every

30:55 few weeks, maybe every month or so, I'm talking about a story like this where people who are

31:01 screaming Allahu Akbar, which means God is good, right? Their version of God as they're

31:06 killing men, women, and children, right? But if you read the ninth Surah of the Quran,

31:12 I've talked about this ad nauseam, you can go back to all my episodes where I've discussed

31:15 this. That is the least abrogated of all the Surah's in the Quran, because it's not in

31:19 any type of order. And it's the most violent and most bloody, their false prophet Muhammad,

31:26 who was being spoken to by a demon, right? As, as he was basically creating what would

31:32 later become the Quran and his teachings and all those different things and the Hadith

31:35 and everything else, it says you should kill the infidel. So you go to Christian villages

31:42 that are nearby and you slaughter people that don't say that Muhammad is the one prophet,

31:48 right? They're not fans of the Shahada that don't want a global intifada, right? I don't

31:54 understand why more Christians won't step up and talk about this to the pastors listening

31:58 to this. Why won't you talk about this? Because when you listen to these imams, they're more

32:05 than, they're more than happy to talk about you in your church and the head of your church,

32:10 which is not the pope, but Jesus, right? But, but you don't want to be needlessly divisive.

32:16 You don't want to be offensive. You don't want to talk about Islam. Because again,

32:21 I feel like pastors don't understand, look, you can talk about Islam without talking about

32:25 individual Muslims, right? You know, demonize the, the, the ideology that is causing people

32:31 to do things, not those individual people because those individual people are made in the image of

32:35 God and they need Christ just like everyone else. But we won't talk about it. We don't want to talk

32:41 about it from the pulpit. We don't want to talk about it while we're speaking somewhere. We don't

32:45 want to talk about it on social media. We just don't want to touch it. We don't, we definitely

32:48 aren't going to do a four week series on it. Like, you know, here's our next four week series.

32:53 Why Islam is demonic? Why Islam is not compatible with the West? Why you can't be pro Islam

33:01 and be a Christian. There, I just gave you the first three weeks, right? But nobody wants to touch

33:06 it. So I guess we're just going to keep reporting on these stories and then just hope Jesus comes

33:10 back quickly before they all get slaughtered. Okay, that's your plan. Next quick hitter here.

33:16 A child therapist pleading guilty to distributing videos of infants being raped. So this is according

33:21 to lives of TikTok on June the 24th. Long Island child therapist Renee Hoberman pleads guilty

33:26 distribution of videos of infants being raped. Hoberman admitted to using social media to upload,

33:31 receive and trade digital videos depicting minors, including several videos of infants

33:36 being physically restrained and raped by an adult male as the infants cried and screamed.

33:41 So Hoberman faces up to 20 years in prison.

33:51 I mean, just think about that guys. Again, we're here to equipment to push back darkness. We can't

33:59 push back darkness if we're not going to talk about what actually, you know what, additional

34:03 side note. So I'll get to my, my, my big takeaway here on a second. I've gotten criticism from people,

34:08 you know, in my inbox and my DMs and different things like that, people that, you know, listen

34:12 to the show or they, they watch me on social media and they just, oh, you know, that's kind of a

34:17 rough story that you shared. Is that, is that really the best way to fight back darkness by

34:23 describing it in detail? And, you know, we should just, you know, talk about more uplifting stories

34:29 and stories that are happier and all those types of things. So if you have a problem with the

34:35 stories that I share and talk about on this show and all my social media, save your messages of

34:40 concern. Okay. I will discuss what I choose to discuss on this show. And if you don't like it,

34:45 you can kick rocks. Okay. You can't equip men to push back darkness. If you don't help them,

34:51 recognize it. Several of the things that we've talked about on the show, men and Christians

34:55 here in this country, don't consider it to be dark, right? That's what I talked about on the daily

35:00 blade recently. There's things that we just don't hate enough. We don't hate abortion enough. We

35:04 don't hate child exploitation and child abuse enough. We don't hate the isms, communism, socialism,

35:10 Marxism, feminism. We don't hate those things enough, right? So that's what I'm trying to

35:17 equipment to do. I'm trying to steal the nerves of you guys. S T E L S steal your nerves, give you

35:23 a little bit of steel in your spines to where yes, you should be able to call these things out

35:28 and call what is evil, evil. And you should rail against it. So if this makes you uncomfortable and

35:34 squishy, stop subscribing to the show, stop listening. And don't let me affect your delicate

35:39 sensibilities anymore fricking pansies. So here's my big takeaway on this story. Again,

35:45 please tell me why we shouldn't do public executions. Tell me why her again, she is presumed innocent,

35:52 even though she has pled guilty. So she's basically said that she is guilty of this.

35:55 Why should this woman be allowed to live? She's going to face 20 years in prison for distributing

36:03 pornography with infants being raped for the masturbatory aid pleasure of demonic evil men in

36:13 this country. 20 years in prison, maybe, right? I mean, she actually does 20 years in prison.

36:19 I'll be shocked considering the jurisdiction she's coming from. But where we're at right now, we

36:25 why does she get to live? Why why? So she's just going to pay her debt to the society by spending

36:33 a little bit of time in prison for distributing this. And also what we haven't heard about. What

36:37 about the man, right, the demon that was doing this to the children? Have we caught this person yet?

36:44 Right? So let's say we do catch this person who was for, you know, his own sexual gratification

36:50 and to make money was raping infants, right? So think about like an 18 month old, okay,

36:55 being anally penetrated by this demon. What is the argument for keeping this person alive?

37:02 After they go through and they get their due process and they get their one appeal,

37:06 why don't we execute them publicly? Don't you think that would cause people to hesitate

37:12 when it comes to filming, distributing and profiting off of this? If we killed people

37:17 in the town square, if we chopped their heads off with guillotines or we hung them until they

37:22 died, or if we had them somehow raped to death, right? Again, what is the argument against it?

37:30 Oh, we're just we're more evolved now. Uh, we're more civilized now. Well, apparently we're not

37:38 because stuff like this is still happening. All right. Next quick hitter here,

37:42 the American Medical Association doubling down on their commitment to transing the kids. So this

37:47 is according to the Daily Wire, the American Medical Association, the AMA, the largest medical

37:51 association in the United States is coming out against the Supreme Court's ruling in the United

37:54 States versus Scrametti, which we talked about earlier, arguing that irreversible and damaging

37:58 transgender procedures for minors are necessary treatments. The American Medical Association

38:03 has disappointed in today's decision that opens the door to further intrusion into patient care

38:07 and harmful government interference into the practice of medicine. AMA president Dr. Bobby

38:11 Mukamala said in a statement after the ruling came down. So my big takeaway on this one,

38:16 I think I'm officially done listening to the expert class, right? Because you say AMA,

38:20 you say the American Medical Association and you automatically associate that with a group of people

38:25 that is for the overall medical, betterment and benefit of Americans. It's right there in the name

38:32 Kyle American Medical Association. These are people that want us to be healthy, to be well,

38:39 and the reality is is they apparently don't. They apparently don't because there is no

38:45 medically based or scientifically based argument for why we should give puberty blockers

38:51 to a child for why we should cut off the healthy breast tissue of a child that is gender confused

38:56 for why we should shave off a piece of a little girl's arm and then tied into this phallic like

39:01 looking thing and sew it to the top of her vagina, which we actually just got through sewing up

39:07 as well because this person's gender confused. There is no scientific or medical basis for the

39:12 argument why we should chop off the genitalia of a baby boy or a child that is a boy because he

39:18 thinks he's a girl and they've made no arguments to the contrary. They just don't like it,

39:25 which makes you wonder why does the AMA not agree with this ruling if they actually cared about

39:32 the medical benefit and overall health of Americans? Is it that they're on the take to?

39:38 Is it that they know because of the nature of these surgeries and these treatments that

39:47 you're going to have these gender confused kids on the docket and you're going to have them on the

39:52 doll and they're going to basically be paying for treatments over and over and over through these

39:58 hospital systems that fund the AMA? Could that have anything to do with it? Because it's not like,

40:06 oh, we just give a kid a pill. A pill is a boy thinks he's a girl. Here's a pill. Gender has

40:11 been transitioned. Nope. Starts out with blockers, goes to more intense blockers. Then it moves to

40:16 some other therapy that the hospital can help you with and charge you for. Then it comes into the

40:21 transition surgeries and then the surgeries have incredibly high issues with them and so you're

40:27 going to continue to have treatments and surgeries essentially for the rest of your life and who

40:32 gets a profit off of that? The hospital system, right? Who eventually profits off of that? The AMA?

40:37 So I'm not one of those people that 2020 just completely destroyed my brain and I don't listen

40:43 to anybody for any reason. I just completely distrust everything and everything's a conspiracy and

40:46 Tucker Carlson's right about everything and some random dork that goes on the Joe Rogan experience

40:50 actually did see aliens and spaceships like I'm not, I'm not turning into that person

40:54 but I'm definitely going to look a scant at any supposed expert group when they defend

41:01 something because the AMA is showing you what they're about without saying it. They are about

41:07 profit motive because this is a huge profit center for these hospital systems that are evil enough

41:14 to take money to destroy these kids. All right. Next quick hitter here. The UK,

41:18 essentially decriminalizing late term abortion. This is according to the BBC on June the 20th,

41:22 June the 17th. MPs have voted to change abortion legislation to stop women in England and Wales

41:28 being prosecuted for ending their pregnancy, ending their pregnancy, nice euphemism. The landslide

41:32 vote to decriminalize the procedure is the biggest change to abortion laws in England and Wales for

41:36 nearly 60 years. Women who terminate their pregnancy outside of the rules, for example,

41:41 after the 24 week mark will no longer be at risk of being investigated by police.

41:46 So what this story says, guys, is essentially women in the UK who murdered their babies via

41:51 late term abortion, they won't be prosecuted. So late term abortion is effectively decriminalized

41:56 in the UK. And so I was curious of how to approach this particular story because basically every

42:02 story that I talk about when it comes to the UK, it's just like a description of like how

42:07 in the world is the United States like a downstream consequence of the UK and look where the UK is

42:13 now and is that where we're headed. But anyway, my big takeaway on this one is that the UK is

42:16 fallen, but it somehow keeps falling. So I've talked about the fact that they allowed so much

42:23 migration into their country, unchecked migration specifically from third world countries, even more

42:27 specifically from third world Islamic countries. They're not enforcing laws. They're arresting

42:34 peep, not enforcing laws that benefit the populace, I should say. They're arresting people and jailing

42:38 people for judgmental tweets, mean comments on social media. They're arresting women silently

42:46 praying outside of abortion facilities, not blocking the entrance and not talking specifically to

42:51 anyway, but sitting there with their eyes closed, praying to the God of the universe that they would

42:55 stop slaughtering and murdering babies in that country. Those people are being arrested and

42:59 sometimes put in prison. And then now you have something like this to where if you're 40 weeks

43:04 pregnant in the UK and you kill the baby inside of you on purpose, right? They're not going to even

43:11 try to charge you with anything. They're not going to try to prosecute you in any way.

43:17 I know we have listeners in the UK. How are you guys dealing with this? How are you pushing back

43:24 against this type of darkness? Because I know the UK is kind of a post Christian nation, even though

43:28 we're seeing a lot of the young folks, specifically the young boys going back to church and going back

43:33 to their Bibles. So maybe in 10, 15, 20 years, we'll be singing off of a different sheet of music.

43:39 But how much more will the UK fall by then? Will there be anything left? Because if you allow you,

43:46 if you allow your city and if you allow your country to be burned, there's only so much you

43:50 can do with the ashes. So I guess we'll have to keep an eye on that. All right. Next quick

43:54 at her here, a US congresswoman using her baby boy as a prop. So I want to show you a video here.

43:59 So this was a recent, you know, they were questioning fed Chairman Jerome Powell recently.

44:04 And this is United States House of Representatives member Brittany Peterson. She's a Democrat from

44:08 Colorado. And I want you to watch this here. Thank you for your long service to our country.

44:13 I know that you've served under any Democrats, Republicans. You've always been nonpartisan and

44:21 done your job to put our country first. And we appreciate your steadfast leadership. And

44:27 if you are not reappointed, it will be very missed here. I have some concerns when I think about,

44:36 I know we've, you've touched on this a little bit through the questions today,

44:39 but around the independence of the. All right. So if you're just listening to this,

44:46 it really doesn't matter what the woman says, because there's a baby on her lap.

44:49 Like, I don't know, three, four month old baby sitting there on her lap while she's doing this,

44:53 this whole charade. The thing about it is because she had the baby on her lap,

44:58 everything that she was saying and all the questions she was asking were essentially not

45:01 important because Brittany Peterson is clearly not a serious person. I mean, many people in the

45:04 United States House aren't serious people, but this is pretty egregious. Okay. She's using her

45:09 baby as a prop in order to make a point. But the only point that she's making is actually my big

45:14 takeaway. She needs to go home. And this isn't some sort of misogynistic rant that I'm about to go

45:21 on about women just need to be, you know, basically making sourdough and being barefoot and pregnant.

45:25 If they're ever seen outside the home, they should be stoned to death or something like that. Well,

45:28 I mean, this isn't an Islamic country after all, but like at the same time, what is she doing there?

45:34 Are you telling me that her constituents that voted for her in Colorado want her to be

45:41 caring for her child while she's legislating on their behalf in Congress? Is that what these people

45:47 want? Because look, your jurisdiction that you're voting in is going to have a bunch of different

45:55 House of Representatives members represent you over a long period of time. But that baby boy

45:59 gets one mom. Like I tell people all the time people were like, Oh, are you, are you going to,

46:03 you know, be coaching your boys in jujitsu and in baseball and all those types of things? Like,

46:06 I don't see that. You know why those, those boys, James and Eli get one dad. They're going to have

46:12 a bunch of coaches. They're going to have a bunch of teachers. They're going to have some tutors.

46:16 They're going to have all kinds of different people. They get one dad. Okay. I'm not saying

46:20 I wouldn't help them with some jujitsu stuff. Not saying I wouldn't help them with some wrestling,

46:23 wouldn't help them with some baseball, wouldn't help them with homework. But they're going to get

46:26 that from a lot of other places. I get to be dead. That baby boy on her lap gets one mom.

46:32 And if women want to work outside the home, I'm completely okay with that. Like, I don't think

46:38 you can make a biblical argument that says women shouldn't have jobs. I think people that do that

46:42 that are like hyper super duper fundamentalists. I don't think that I don't think that they're

46:45 exegeting the parts of scripture that they use properly to make those assertions. Okay.

46:51 I just don't, I just don't see that in any way, shape or form. But what is the benefit of this

46:56 woman working this job in Congress and trying to raise that baby? Like, like, what's the point?

47:03 Because again, there aren't that many people in Congress when it comes to a comparison to the

47:08 rest of the population size of the United States, we're talking about a few hundred people, right?

47:13 Total in Congress, both houses. Okay. Just not that many people, three digits worth of people.

47:19 So if you want to raise your child, if you want to have kids, just do it at home,

47:24 or here's a shocking thing, you make a good living as a Congress person. I don't know what her

47:29 husband does, but I'm sure you all make enough to hire a babysitter. Also, I found this out recently.

47:36 Did you know that Congress, they have like daycares for Congress people to have kids?

47:42 So you, the American taxpayer are paying for someone else's childcare, but this woman,

47:47 this unserious woman decides, no, you know what, I'm not going to do any of the free daycare.

47:52 I'm also not going to pay for daycare for someone to watch my kid while I go to this

47:57 house representative questioning meeting where I'm talking to, you know, the fed chairperson,

48:02 right? I'm not going to do that. I'm going to set this baby right down in my lap.

48:07 Now let's say she's in the middle of her allotted time and the baby craps himself, blow out.

48:11 What's she going to do? Does the business of Congress have to stop so she can change a crappy

48:17 diaper? Because you might be like, well, the baby just crapped and needs a stiper change. Yeah,

48:22 in the halls of Congress, right? No, sorry, not the halls of Congress. This is the chamber,

48:29 right? This is where the business goes down. What did the baby just started crying and screaming?

48:35 Do we do we take a pause? Does she have to seed her time back? Let's say you're a constituent

48:40 of hers in Colorado, right? So you voted for the sun serious person and you're watching

48:45 C-SPAN because you're one of those people. And in the first 10 seconds, you know, she just a few

48:49 minutes to question your own pal. The baby starts losing it, right? Level 10 freak out.

48:55 And, you know, she she can't do any procedural thing to kind of hit the pause button or hand

49:00 the baby off or something like that because she's got to make her point. She's got to sell her T-shirts.

49:04 And then she goes, okay, I just, you know, I give my time back, right? And you're sitting there

49:08 and you're like, no, no, I'm like, I'm watching C-SPAN. I really care what your own pal has to say.

49:12 And I want my gal, right, that I that I voted for. I want her to go to the United States Congress.

49:18 I want her to advocate in a way that I would like, like, how excited are you about that situation,

49:24 okay? Like people will think when people talk like this, oh, you're anti-family, you're anti-baby.

49:28 No, I'm actually the exact opposite. I'm pro-family. I'm pro-baby. I'm pro-women being mothers, right?

49:34 Doesn't mean you can't do other things, but it does mean that that is your primary role and

49:38 responsibility, right? So if you're taking time away from your family and your family is, you know,

49:44 they have it. There's a deficit in your household because you're serving in Congress or because

49:48 you're running a business or because you're, you're doing some other thing with your time, you know,

49:52 leaning into your hobby, getting your nails and hair done as opposed to taking care of your kids

49:55 and helping them with their homework, that's a problem. That's a problem. Again, I'm pro-women

50:00 doing all those other things, but that baby needs his mama and mama needs to be outside of that

50:06 chamber taking care of the baby. All right. Now we need to talk about me landing an Instagram

50:09 jail. So here I am about a week ago and I'm trying to send a video that I thought was funny. I was

50:15 sending it to my wife or a buddy or something like that. And Instagram says you can't send this message

50:21 click here to find out why I'm like, what in the world's going on? So I click, I thought something

50:24 wrong with the story or with the post. So I click it and it says that I, that parts of my Instagram

50:29 account have been shut down for 72 hours because I violated their terms and service and their

50:34 community guidelines. And I'm like, Oh boy, here we go. So I click on the, the why part. And so I

50:42 believe it was a year ago, if not, it was two years ago, but I'm pretty sure it was last year.

50:45 There was a video that was circulating all over the internet, including all over Instagram.

50:51 It was of a young boy, I think he was 10 or 11 years old. He was at a pride, you know, parade

50:59 event and right, there's a stage and there's like a DJ music and all these pro pride LGBTQ

51:04 evil people in the crowd. And this young boy starts twerking and the, the MC or whatever's on the,

51:12 the mic going ass everywhere, ass everywhere, ass everywhere. It was like this big thing,

51:16 crowds going wild, right? A bunch of gay men in the crowd that are like super aroused by this 10,

51:22 11 year old boy twerking, you know, showing him his butt, right? So they're, they're super into it,

51:27 right? And so what I did is I posted the video and your attention to it and just castigated

51:35 everyone in the comments. Like the people that ran the event, the people, the parents that let

51:39 that boy go up on stage, all the people celebrating in the crowd, this evil debauchery, this abomination,

51:46 right? And so I posted that, because again, and people were like, why would you even share this?

51:51 You're, you're making it bigger. No, no, I'm showing you what darkness looks like.

51:54 Cause a lot of you just walk around with your eyes blocked and your ears plugged and you're,

51:58 you're not looking at the darkness around you and you're shocked when something like this actually

52:01 happens. So I'm trying to bring it to your attention. So I go in to the little Instagram

52:06 comments where it says I violated the terms of service and I violated the community guidelines

52:10 and it said that they dinged my account for child sexual exploitation. Me, I was dinged for it.

52:20 But that video, right? So it, it forcibly took that post down. You can still find that video

52:27 all over Instagram and you know the accounts that that video is still allowed to be on

52:33 the pro LGBTQ accounts, the people that shared that video because they loved it.

52:40 They thought, how great is this that we even got kids getting in on the action, right?

52:47 Cause again, the pride parade thing, it's, it's already weird and debauched and crazy.

52:51 But gosh, the people running the events, they just love it when kids show up.

52:55 Isn't that so interesting? The face painting, that whole lot of adults that are into face painting,

52:59 kids are, they're getting, you know, a trans flag and the LGBTQ flag and all that pain on their face

53:06 and all that, they just love it. It's because they're trying to inculcate these children

53:10 into the, the thought process that this is not a debauched sinful, evil, nasty type of a lifestyle.

53:16 This is just normal. Dudes in dog callers and BDSM gear, like, you know, uh, there was one,

53:24 I think it was in California where this guy was in a kiddie pool and guys were just coming by and

53:28 [inaudible] on him, right? This is at an event where children were walking by. Okay. So you can go to

53:35 those people's pages and you can still watch that video. But when I post it and decry it,

53:41 it's child sexual exploitation. Okay. So which some people would be like, why you on Instagram then,

53:46 right? Why not just delete your account? Here's thing guys, eventually there's going to be a day

53:51 where meta, right? Facebook and Instagram, they're going to turn my account off. I'm already, I'm

53:55 already preparing for that. But for now, there's like, I don't know, I got like 70,000 some followers

54:00 on Instagram and, you know, a little bit less than that on Facebook. I'm going to post things

54:04 that equip you to push back darkness for as long as they, they will allow it, right? Because they

54:10 are private companies and they can choose whether or not I get to have an account. And there will

54:14 be a day when I no longer have an account. I know that day is coming. But my reason for being on

54:19 this planet is equipping men to push back darkness. I'm going to continue doing it using all the

54:22 different things at my disposal. All right. Last quick hitter here, we need to talk about a lesson

54:27 that we can all learn from the Oakland City Thunder, winning an NBA championship. So I remember being

54:32 a kid and I loved watching the NBA playoffs because as a kid, you know, I basically watch

54:38 Sports Center. That's what I watched before. I went to bed. That's what I watched in the morning.

54:40 And I love the highlights and all that. But I really got into the NBA playoffs, you know,

54:44 with the Jordan era and different things like that. So I loved it. And then I forget what year

54:47 it was, but the Oklahoma City Thunder, we stole the Seattle Super Sonics because the New Orleans,

54:52 what would they have been? They were the hornets in at the time, I believe they weren't the pelicans

54:55 yet. But Hurricane Katrina came through so they couldn't play all their games there in New Orleans.

55:01 And so they came to Oklahoma City and they were Oklahoma City Hornets there for a while.

55:04 And then we proved that this city could sustain the state could sustain a professional sports team.

55:09 We eventually steal the Seattle Super Sonics. So we have the Oklahoma City Thunder

55:13 terrible for a long time, but they had this young man named Kevin Durant and then they drafted a

55:17 young man named Russell Westbrook and they drafted a young man named Serge Baca and James Hart and

55:22 came came there after as well. Thunder go to the NBA finals in 2012. They lose in five games to

55:30 LeBron James's Miami Heat team for his first championship there in Miami. And you're thinking

55:34 to yourself, all right, no big deal. Youngest team in the NBA, the core of Durant, Westbrook,

55:40 and Harden, this team's going to go nuts. We're going to get right back to this position, right?

55:44 Again, with the Wii language, right? Even though I don't play for the team. Thunder don't go back

55:49 to the NBA finals, right? There were some injuries. James Harden demanded trade. Kevin Durant eventually

55:54 signed with the Golden State Warriors. Russell Westbrook even was eventually traded. And then

55:58 you go into rebuild mode, okay? And then he gets 2020. 2020, we have George Floyd dying while in

56:05 police custody because he overdosed and it's hard exploded. The NBA during COVID and all that, they

56:12 did basically the Mickey Mouse Championship where they had all the NBA teams go to Disney World,

56:16 they basically played an AAU tournament without crowds and the players didn't have to travel

56:21 and all those types of things. And they had Black Lives Matter right there on the court. And in

56:25 that moment, just with all the optics and with having literally the name of a Marxist communist

56:31 organization, Black Lives Matter, right there on the court, basically saying, "Hey, all you white

56:35 people that's helped support this league. You're all a bunch of racists." There's nothing you can do

56:38 about it. I was like, "You know what? Screw you, NBA." There's other things I can watch. Like,

56:41 I'm busy. I got things going on. It's hard for me to watch Major League Baseball games and UFC fights,

56:45 and those are my two favorite things. I was like, "Okay, I'm just done with the NBA."

56:48 But you're the type of guy or I'm type of guy. I will scroll the internet and the internet knows

56:53 I'm into sports. And so I at least kind of knew what was going on in the NBA. I would kind of see

56:57 who won the championship and you'd see, you know, big dunks and big blocks and that type of thing.

57:02 But then over the last couple of years, the Thunder have kind of been good, right? So they

57:05 trade Paul George back in the day. They get SGA, Gil just Alexander, and they get all these picks

57:11 and all these types of things. Last year, low and bold, the Thunder were the number one seed going

57:14 into the playoffs. They lost in the second round, but it's like, "Hey, there's something going on

57:19 with this team." But then it got to this year. For most of the year, the Oakland City Thunder

57:22 were considered to be the best team in the NBA, right? So again, I'm not following the NBA. I'm

57:26 not checking scores. But every time you looked up and someone's talking about the Thunder, they're

57:29 talking about, "Can this team actually win a championship? This is the youngest team in the

57:33 entire NBA. Is this team going to win a championship?" So you get into the playoffs and they sweep the

57:37 first series. And it's like, "Yeah, but all these other teams are still good." Then they're playing

57:40 against the Denver Nuggets, which has the best basketball player on the planet, Nicole Yokich,

57:43 and the Thunder Ghost 7 games beat them. And it's like, "Ah, well, they're probably going to lose in the

57:47 next round because Minnesota, they've got some really good players." Beat Minnesota in five games,

57:52 win the Western Commerce, go into the NBA Finals. So living here in a suburb of Oklahoma City,

57:57 the excitement of the Oakland City Thunder, going back to the NBA Finals, was literally palpable.

58:04 It was so thick, you could grab a handful of it out of the air, right? But along with the excitement,

58:09 came an unbelievable amount of anxiety because for a Thunder fan and for this city and the state,

58:16 been here before, right? 2012. Hot young team, they come in, they don't quite get it done,

58:23 but you think you're going to go on a run. So there's all this negativity along with

58:26 the excitement, along with the anxiety, and it's just kind of all swirling around. Thunder

58:30 lose game one on the last second shot. Oh, no, it's happening, right? They lost the game at home.

58:35 Oh, it's happening again. But then they win game two. But then they lose game three. Oh, no.

58:39 Oh, no, everything's terrible. But then they win game two. And then they win game five. Oh,

58:42 we're one went away. And then in game six, Thunder got beat by like 87 points, one of the biggest

58:47 blowouts in NBA Finals history. Now it's game seven, right? There were two days before game seven

58:54 here in Oakland City. And my goodness, everyone was nervous, right? That morning at church,

58:58 because game was on a Sunday, people are just nervous. People didn't really want to talk about it,

59:02 right? And so I'll say for me, again, not being an NBA fan and being one of those guys that says,

59:07 Hey, don't let sports are in your night. I'm one of those guys. I could feel because of the excitement

59:12 around me that I was starting to care about the outcome. I was starting to really care whether or

59:19 not the Oklahoma City Thunder, a team that I never played on an organization I've never worked for.

59:24 I really, really cared whether or not they won game seven. So much so that I thought it was going

59:29 to start affecting how I was acting. The old Kyle that used to lose his mind when the St. Louis

59:35 Cardinals would lose a game in May, right? I could feel that guy coming back a little bit. So you

59:40 know what I did on Sunday night during the game. I sat in the hospital room with a buddy of mine,

59:45 it's in the hospital. You know, it was on the television Sunday night baseball, right? It was

59:51 Philly's Mets. Okay, sitting there chatting with him, chatting with his family, not a care in the world,

59:57 right? I actually showed up to fight club and only one other dude showed up. So I was ready to

1:00:01 train that night. And when nobody showed up, right? You know, where it's not just two of us going to

1:00:05 sit there and train, just went to the hospital, hung out with my buddy because I didn't want that

1:00:10 stress and that anxiety of, you know, a team going on a five or a run. But then another team,

1:00:13 the other team goes on an 11 to run and all the ups and all the downs and oh my gosh, the injuries

1:00:17 and the excitement and all just didn't want it. But I come home and my wife sitting there watching

1:00:23 the game, there's about three and a half minutes left in the game. And at that point, it's pretty

1:00:26 clear, the Thunder likely going to win. We go and wake up our boys, right? And we, because we want

1:00:31 them to see the excitement of, Hey, our state team, right? The one protein that we have here in the

1:00:36 state, the top level protein, we got some AAA AA baseball, but the top pro team in the state,

1:00:41 they're about to win. So we want them to have that core memory. Our boys were barely able to

1:00:45 wake up. And so I don't even know if they remembered any of that. But then here they go. They close

1:00:50 it out. The Oklahoma City Thunder, our NBA champions, the youngest team in the league, the youngest

1:00:54 team in like, I don't know, half a century to win the NBA finals, right? And you feel happy for your

1:00:59 state, right? You feel happy for the fans. You feel happy for the financial ramifications

1:01:07 for this city in the state. You feel happy for what this is going to be like having a championship

1:01:11 banner in the rafters when they build a new state stadium and a new arena, the rather, and for the

1:01:17 amount of money and the financial impact it's going to have on the city and like all the positives,

1:01:22 right? But this is my big takeaway. So I'm not setting all this up just to poo poo on it, but it's

1:01:27 just an area of concern that guys need to reckon with. The line between fandom and idolatry is

1:01:34 incredibly blurry. I think we need to stop pretending like it isn't because most guys have that team

1:01:43 that they live and die with, right? So around here, I'm exposed to people that just live and die

1:01:49 with the outcome of every OU Sooners football game, right? That every Oklahoma state football game,

1:01:57 the people that live and die with the outcome of a Thunder game, right? People live and die with

1:02:02 the outcome of whoever their favorite NHL team is or MLS team, people technically watch soccer

1:02:06 in this country, whatever the thing is, their favorite fighter, their favorite boxer, right?

1:02:11 They live and die with the outcome. Tell me that's not idolatry. I mean, it's okay to be a fan of a

1:02:20 sport, right? I'm still a St. Louis Cardinals fan, even though I don't really support the NBA,

1:02:25 right? Until they can prove that they're not going to throw Black Lives Matter in my face again,

1:02:28 but I would you could certainly say I'm an Oklahoma City Thunder fan. I would prefer for

1:02:32 them to win over all the other teams. So I guess that makes me a fan. But at what point, and this

1:02:37 is going to be different for every person, at what point is your fan to my idolatry? Because this came

1:02:42 up earlier, I had a guy DM me about, you know, drinking alcohol, and you know, he's kind of confused

1:02:46 about what the Bible says about alcohol, and he says, Hey, should we all just not drink just in

1:02:50 case? And you know, Hey, you know, he even talks about, you know, don't do this behavior because

1:02:54 it might cause your brother to stumble. It's like, okay, well, are you going to be eating nachos and

1:02:57 drinking beer in front of your fat buddy? Right? Because it applies there too, right? So how

1:03:01 where are we going to begin and end this type of argumentation? But specifically, when it comes

1:03:06 to fandom, or allow stick with drinking. So like me, I can have two or three glasses of whiskey,

1:03:12 and it not be sinful. Because one, I won't become drunk. And two, I don't worship at the altar of

1:03:17 the next time I get to do that behavior. But there are people in my life too that come off top my head

1:03:21 that if they were to have one sip of one drink, it would be sin. Because there was a time in their

1:03:26 life where they were idolizing alcohol, the effect that it would have on them. And they were addicted

1:03:32 to it. Right? So it's sinful for certain people to do that. Now it's sinful for everybody that

1:03:38 gets drunk. But in those moments, I think you can make an argument that if a previous alcoholic or

1:03:43 somebody that's done horrible things while under the influence of alcohol, having any type of a drink,

1:03:47 that would be sinful for them to do so. So is watching a game, going to a game,

1:03:53 painting up your your face and cheering for your favorite team is that idolatry and sinful? No,

1:03:57 I don't think so. But it does become idolatry and sinful at a certain point. And I don't have

1:04:01 another point to make. I just want y'all to consider that because I had to come to a place with the

1:04:06 St. Louis Cardinals specifically. Because again, remember, I lived and died with every single pitch

1:04:10 of every single game. That's 162 games plus all star game plus playoffs, right? Thousands and

1:04:16 thousands and thousands of pitches, hundreds and hundreds of hours of attention every single season.

1:04:21 Right? I had created an idol out of the success or failure of a franchise in baseball that I never

1:04:29 played for nor works for, which is another reason why I don't really say we. That's something that

1:04:36 now it's it's it's such a thing in my head now where I try to remind other people when I'm watching

1:04:42 the St. Louis Cardinals, it's not we won or we lost. It's they. I'm not a member of the St.

1:04:48 Louis Cardinals. I have never worked there. I have just opted into being a fan. When your favorite

1:04:55 college football team, Windsor loses a game. It's not we. When your favorite, you know, college

1:05:01 basketball team, Windsor loses a tournament game. It's not we did that. It's they did that.

1:05:05 Now you individually can enjoy that. You can be a part of that. You can cheer that on. You can

1:05:11 root for your chosen outcome, but it's not we. It's they. You didn't do anything, right? Even if

1:05:18 you're in the stadium, making the noise, which, you know, made it harder for the coach to get the

1:05:22 play in because they couldn't hear. Okay, maybe you could say there's a little bit of we in that,

1:05:26 but you're not on the field, right? You're not dealing with the Xs and O's. You're not dealing with,

1:05:30 you know, the pitch clock. You're not dealing with the launch angle. You're not dealing with

1:05:33 defensive formations. You're just not really a part of it. But for every single one of the

1:05:37 guys in this audience, that is an incredibly big fan of sports team. I want you to spend some

1:05:41 time in prayer, spend some time in the Bible, spend some time talking to other guys. At what

1:05:45 point is my fandom idolatrous? Am I letting sports ruin my night? If it's Saturday night in the fall

1:05:53 and you're a big LSU Tigers fan and LSU's at home and it's a it's a big game and here Auburn's

1:05:58 coming to town and Auburn's not ranked in LSU's in the top 10. Oops, Auburn comes in there and beat

1:06:03 you. Do you mad? Do you cuss? Do you break stuff? Do you punch the wall? Do you ignore your wife and

1:06:12 children? Do you kick the dog? Do you wake up the next morning still negatively impacted by

1:06:18 how you were acting the previous day because a team that you wanted to win didn't win? Do you

1:06:23 skip church because you're too mad about what happened the previous night? You're watching the

1:06:27 Super Bowl and you put a little bit of money on it and you're getting after your friends and you're

1:06:30 for sure your team's going to win because oh it's Patty Mahomes. We got the power of Taylor Swift going

1:06:34 oops Philadelphia Eagles show up and pee on that parade and it's like oh and you just can't function

1:06:39 for a few days because you're such a big Kansas City Chiefs fan. Well whatever your situation is

1:06:43 you need to reckon with that incredibly blurry line between fandom and idolatry and if you're on

1:06:49 the side of idolatry you need to fix it. All right guys I'll do it for today. Before we go we are
