This is Undaunted Life, a Man's Podcast.
0:50
I'm your host Kyle Thompson.
0:52
Let's get into it.
0:54
An Intelligent Heart Acquires Knowledge and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
0:58
Proverbs 18-15.
1:00
Guys, this is going to be a long one today.
1:01
Well, maybe not that long, but there's a lot that we're going to be getting into today.
1:04
But wanted to remind you, if you're not already signed up for our newsletter,
1:07
just go to our website, www.undaunted.life.
1:11
And it'll prompt you to become a part of that newsletter because we want to make sure we
1:14
keep you updated on everything that we've got coming down the pike.
1:16
Because we got some really, really cool stuff coming.
1:17
But guys, there's been a lot of very important newsworthy stories that have been buried
1:25
over the last month.
1:26
Because I kind of keep track of things that are going on around the world.
1:28
And in every manner that you can possibly imagine and I kind of take notes.
1:31
And I was like, okay, is this enough to talk about for an entire podcast or something like that?
1:35
But especially in this last month, these really, really important news stories
1:40
are getting buried because of the overwhelming amount.
1:43
And rightfully so of attention given to the colossal failures coming out of the Biden administration,
1:49
right?
1:49
So I guess we can say it started with botching Afghanistan, right?
1:52
It did a whole series on that.
1:54
Then you've got the COVID vaccine mandates on private businesses.
1:57
That was last week's episode.
1:59
Now we have all these images from the southern border, which we know the southern border has
2:02
basically been wide open for months now.
2:04
But now there's a horrific humanitarian and sovereignty crisis going on down at the southern
2:10
border. And it's just, what's it going to be next week?
2:13
What is the major crisis going to be next week?
2:16
Because each one of these stories is like a black hole.
2:18
You know, it sucks up everyone's attention.
2:19
And if you're not into that, you know, you're absorbed with something else, you know,
2:23
because you maybe have been paying attention to the Gabby Latino disappearance and subsequently
2:28
they found her and it's likely a murder and they can't find the fiance.
2:31
There's so much to focus in on, right?
2:33
But there are some insanely important news stories that you've likely missed out on.
2:39
And they directly affect you, mind you, right?
2:42
And so that's what we're going to do today.
2:44
And the thing is, is I can't go into crazy detail into all these stories.
2:48
I think I'm going to tell you about nine or 10 different news stories that you've likely missed
2:51
here in the last few weeks.
2:52
Because if I go into all of them into crazy details, it's going to be four hours long.
2:55
And maybe in the future, I can dive deeper into some of these individual ones.
2:58
Maybe the ones that are maybe a little bit, I don't know, more interesting to you.
3:01
But each one of these could be their own episode.
3:03
But I mean, what can you do?
3:05
I will link in the show notes.
3:06
I promise to the news story that I think does a pretty good job of explaining
3:10
or covering the story, right?
3:12
So, and I tried to get a plethora of different news sources,
3:14
not just coming from a right wing view or left wing view or a centrist view or something like that.
3:18
I feel like I did a pretty good job of getting all those.
3:20
So I would leave, I'm leaving a little bit on the bone here today,
3:23
a little bit of meat on the bone so that you can go out there and read it for yourself
3:26
and kind of get caught up on all these things.
3:27
I'm basically going to be giving you a summary highlight of the story
3:31
and then tell you why I think it's so important.
3:33
Okay.
3:33
So here we go.
3:34
First one.
3:34
And this is from government executive and here's the headline.
3:37
Horrible mistake.
3:38
Pentagon admits drone strike killed children, not terrorists.
3:42
So the summary on this one is on August 29th of 2021.
3:45
Just a few weeks ago, the United States fired a hellfire missile at a group of people
3:49
that they believe to be members of ISIS K. So that's kind of the offshoot of ISIS.
3:53
And the intelligence reported that ISIS K members in that area would be driving around
3:57
in a white Toyota Corolla, which was the target of the strike.
4:01
The strike ended up killing 10 people.
4:03
Unfortunately, none of the people that were killed by the hellfire missile by the drone
4:09
were ISIS K nor were they affiliated with any terrorist group.
4:13
Okay.
4:14
It was 10 civilians in and around this white Toyota Corolla.
4:18
One of the victims names was Zamari Akmati.
4:21
And he is an aid worker.
4:22
And some people said, and I haven't been able to really corroborate this,
4:25
said that he actually worked with the Americans as well.
4:27
And so it was him that was killed along with nine of his family members,
4:31
including seven children.
4:33
I'm pretty positive.
4:34
These were all his nieces and nephews.
4:35
So it was like his brother's children or something like that.
4:37
So basically wiped out an entire family.
4:40
All right.
4:41
So why it's so important is the first thing is we've already forgotten about Afghanistan.
4:46
That's partially why I'm leading the show off with this today.
4:49
And partially why I share a lot of Hollywood case stuff.
4:51
Basically, every time I see on Instagram is because we've already forgotten.
4:55
And this is what the Biden administration is depending on.
4:58
They need the United States public to not focus on the biggest botching of anything
5:03
so far in the Biden administration, which is only 10 minutes old.
5:06
But this is the biggest worst thing for him so far.
5:10
They need you to focus on that, right?
5:12
Because they need you to, I guess, focus on other things, I should say, right?
5:16
So let's focus on this little controversy.
5:18
And let's talk about equity over here.
5:19
And let's call people racist over there.
5:20
And let's, you know, demand these things of people in terms of COVID over there.
5:23
We can't have you focusing on Afghanistan.
5:25
But the fact that the majority of you didn't even know that we've admitted that we killed civilians
5:30
instead of ISIS-K is because we've already forgotten about it.
5:33
It's not leading the news anymore.
5:35
So whether you're an ABC newsperson or a Tucker Carlson person or a CNN person
5:39
or whatever the thing is, that's not the lead story anymore.
5:41
It's moved on, right?
5:43
Because COVID, because of Southern border.
5:45
Because some girl that I don't mean that in a demeaning way,
5:48
but a single person lost their life.
5:51
And that has been an all-consuming force for people all of a sudden, right?
5:54
We've already forgotten about Afghanistan.
5:56
And another reason why it's important is because
5:58
this over the horizon plan we've been hearing about,
6:01
that the Biden administration, we don't need boots on the ground in Afghanistan.
6:05
We can conduct this war from our nearest air base, which is in Qatar, right?
6:09
The over the horizon plan is already a failure,
6:12
which anybody, you don't have to be, you know, clairvoyant to understand
6:16
and to realize that this was going to be a failure to begin with.
6:18
Because we have nothing enforceable from the ground.
6:21
And a good example is this story, because the family members of this man
6:25
and these other nine people that were killed on this day,
6:27
they want, you know, they want money for this.
6:29
They want to be paid for this.
6:30
They want to be compensated for this, right?
6:32
They want things to be made right.
6:33
But we have nobody on the ground in Afghanistan,
6:36
even if we wanted to just hand them a bucket full of cash to deliver it.
6:39
If we were going to provide this to this family,
6:44
we'd have to give it to the Taliban.
6:46
Because we don't have an American military force in Afghanistan anymore.
6:51
Right? So this over the horizon thing, and again,
6:54
I think you have to be fair because there's collateral damage,
6:57
no matter who's in the White House, right?
6:58
But a lot of times the collateral damage isn't directly caused
7:02
by the people running the show being absolute abject morons.
7:06
Okay, so that's first story.
7:07
So just kind of give you guys an idea.
7:09
That's what it's going to be like for the rest of these.
7:10
I'm just going to go really, really quick and give you time to read the rest of it
7:12
on your own, on your own.
7:13
So the next one here, this from NBC News.
7:16
Pfizer says its COVID vaccine is safe and effective for children ages five to 11.
7:20
So this is just one that's broken in the last few days.
7:22
But here's a summary.
7:23
Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech said that they would submit their data to the FDA
7:27
for emergency use authorization.
7:29
Another thing under emergency use authorization.
7:32
And then the trial was done on a little over 2000 children.
7:35
And these children were given two smaller doses of the vaccine
7:39
as compared to what the teenagers and adults are getting across the world.
7:42
Okay, so here's why this story is important.
7:43
And it goes directly back to what I said in last week's episode.
7:47
Fear porn and vaccine mandates.
7:50
Vaccine mandates, mandates for your children are coming.
7:54
And they will likely be enforced through the public school system.
8:00
Book it, book it right now.
8:01
I said this last week and then just a few days later, it's like, oh, this, this magical thing
8:06
isn't an interesting that ages five through 11 can now, well, as soon as it gets the approval,
8:11
we'll be able to get this vaccine.
8:13
That is so interesting because it now covers all school age children.
8:19
Why didn't they test this on children that were younger than five?
8:22
Is there something fundamentally different from a development standpoint,
8:27
from a four and a half year old to a five year old?
8:29
I know, I know you got to draw a line somewhere with these things.
8:31
But it's so interesting that now it's going to cover all school age children, okay?
8:36
But when you're talking about this, and I talked about this last week,
8:39
that all of you that have been saying the flu is more deadly and more harmful to kids
8:43
than COVID is, that that's going to be thrown back in your face.
8:45
We do need to talk about COVID deaths for children in America ages five through 11, okay?
8:50
So I looked at the data just this morning.
8:52
So this is the data from January 2020, right?
8:55
Until September the 11th of 2021.
8:57
So that's essentially the entire pandemic, okay?
8:59
And just so you know, this data is coming from the CDC website, okay?
9:03
It's coming directly from the CDC website.
9:05
Now, shout out to Phil Kerpin on Twitter.
9:07
So this is a guy, he's a syndicated columnist, but he's at K-E-R-P-E-N on Twitter.
9:12
He's staying right on top of all of these numbers, okay?
9:15
And he's constantly putting out their own speed so you should definitely follow him.
9:17
Because here's the thing about the CDC website.
9:19
It's not that easy to go to the CDC website and get the information that you want, right?
9:24
So everyone just assumes like if, you know, someone on the right wing talks about these
9:28
statistics out there putting it through some sort of a filter.
9:30
The thing is, is if you were to go to the CDC website and you don't have a statistical
9:33
modeling background, it's going to be hard for you to get the data that you want.
9:37
But Phil Kerpin, he is getting the data and it's making it easy for people like us
9:41
to read through it and go through it.
9:42
So let's just go through the data here.
9:44
The deaths for American children ages five through 11 during that time period,
9:48
the entire pandemic is 79.
9:51
79 out of a cohort that numbers 28,446,096, 79.
10:03
That's an average deaths per 100,000 and that age group is .28, which basically means
10:11
that a child in America between the ages of five and 11 has a .000028 chance of dying from COVID.
10:22
.000028 chance of dying from COVID.
10:28
Okay, now saying that does not minimize how tragic it is for the families that lost
10:35
one of those 79 families that lost a child, but my understanding is that the overwhelming majority,
10:41
if not every single one of those children in that 79 group had a serious comorbidity,
10:47
a serious preexisting illness.
10:50
And then COVID unfortunately was was the straw that broke the camel's back to use a really,
10:54
really bad, you know, comparison, okay.
10:56
And I think it's important to make this point as well that I think I actually just said it just
11:00
then these aren't necessarily children that died from COVID. The actual language that's used on
11:07
this this information from the CDC is that these kids died with COVID.
11:12
So it's it's almost impossible to get to the real ground level as to kind of what's happening
11:17
with these children, but a child could have died from cancer or from pneumonia or something like
11:23
that, but then tested positive for COVID. Again, these kids didn't necessarily die from COVID.
11:28
They died with COVID. That's an important distinction.
11:31
So again, we are going to be told that this is for the good of the children,
11:36
that this is going to be a mandate. Yes, it's a mandate, but this isn't about your freedom.
11:40
This isn't about your liberty. This is about your children, you see, because we the government,
11:44
we the school board, we the local populace, we care more about your child than you do,
11:49
obviously, because you're sitting here questioning the vaccine. Are you an anti-vaxxer?
11:54
Are you anti-science guys? It's coming. It's coming before the end of the year.
11:58
Okay, because by October or November, there's going to be full FDA authorization for this.
12:03
And immediately the school boards are going to hop on board and say the kids have to have it.
12:07
I promise you it's coming. All right, guys, next story here. This is from KXAN out of South Texas.
12:12
I have this in Austin area. Two men arrested in connection to disrupted round rock ISD board
12:18
board meeting. So that's the independent school district. So shout out to my cousin who actually
12:22
lives in round rock. She she made me aware of this because this story, like I hadn't seen it
12:25
until she shared it with me. So I appreciate that. There was a board meeting that was scheduled,
12:29
and it was to discuss the school board meeting, a meeting to discuss an extension to the mask
12:33
mandates that were going on in their schools. Okay. So they're debating whether to defy the
12:38
mandate passed down by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, basically saying, and this is the right way to
12:42
categorize it, that you can't have a mask mandate across the board and require that every student
12:47
do it. You can just say masks are optional, right? So they're trying to figure out they're
12:52
going to defy that. So only a few people were allowed into the room because of, you know,
12:56
bull crap social distancing standards, which we found out this week, the six foot standard
13:00
essentially came out of thin air, nobody even knows where it came from. But the board said in
13:04
previous meetings that there weren't enough chairs to accommodate the community members that
13:08
wanted to be in the room. So these community members brought their own chairs, right? And
13:13
guess what? The school board just didn't really like that. So the school board set up an overflow
13:17
room, and that's so nice of them to do. But basically the overflow room was essentially a way to have
13:23
more people in attendance, quote, unquote, without them actually having the ability to participate in
13:29
the meetings in the proceedings of what was going on. Okay. So the video that I saw is that police
13:33
were actively blocking the door that would have allowed community members access into the room.
13:38
Now the police were just doing what they were told. At that point, you know, I don't really
13:42
want to put too much on us on them. But the school board basically told them you have to keep these
13:46
people out. And the community, the community members said that this violated a statute in
13:51
Texas called the open meetings act, which basically makes sure that you can't do a whole bunch of
13:55
thing behind, behind closed doors and everything like that. A couple of the dads went in there and,
13:59
you know, they were, they were disrupting the meeting, and they were taken out and arrested for
14:02
disturbing the peace, so on and so forth. Here's why this story is so important.
14:06
It's because this story is not terribly unique, right? So it didn't actually shock me when I saw
14:12
the video because I feel like we've seen this over and over. But this is what happens when you
14:17
give government bureaucrats power. They just want more and they can't have you,
14:25
you lowly peasant, they can't have you getting in the way of them getting their power. They can't
14:30
have that. Okay. And just like I talked about with, with all the COVID statistics just a second ago,
14:36
they are using the health of your child, right? As a club by which to beat you into submission,
14:43
they want to beat you into submission. That's what they want. And they're going to use whatever
14:49
they can to get it because here's the thing. And I know I'm painting with a broad brush here,
14:53
and I'm, I may regret this later, but don't go ahead and say it because it's on top of my mind.
14:56
A lot of these people that end up on the school boards or end up, you know, in these bureaucratic
15:00
positions of power, these were people that didn't have power growing up. So maybe they weren't a
15:05
very popular kid or very well liked. Maybe they weren't really involved. Maybe they didn't have a
15:09
lot of friends. Maybe they didn't perform well. Maybe they're just a really good student, but no one
15:13
really respected them or liked them. You know, something like that. And then one day they get a
15:16
job that was for a lot of them, you know, decently hard to get and a little bit of a sacrifice because
15:21
a lot of them don't get paid very, very well. And then all of a sudden this pandemic shows up
15:26
and they've got power now. Power that they've never had before. Influenced that they've never
15:32
experienced before. And now that they see that the pandemic is legitimately on the Wayne and that
15:38
if you're an adult, you can get the vaccine and move on with your life and not care about whether
15:42
or someone else got jabbed or not, right? But now they're seeing their potential for more power
15:47
fading away and they can't have that. So they're going to push up against, you know, Governor Abbott
15:52
and Governor DeSantis and all these other governors, Governor Stitt here in my state that are pushing
15:56
against this nonsense and saying, Hey, let's get back to business. Let's get back to work.
16:01
But they don't want that. So guys, there's going to be more of this coming. Don't be surprised.
16:04
Our next story here, Fox 32 out of Chicago, Cook County judge strips mother of parental rights
16:10
because she is not vaccinated. Did you hear about that? I mean, I couldn't believe this. This was
16:16
one of those stories where I read the headline and I was like, surely not, surely not. It's
16:20
going to they buried the lead somewhere in the article. It's got to be different. But here's the
16:23
summary. So Cook County, that Chicago, there was a judge named James Shapiro. He stripped Rebecca
16:29
Furlitt's custody rights of her 11 year old son, because she refused to get the COVID vaccination
16:35
stripped her of her parental custody rights. Okay. So this came up at a child support hearing
16:40
involving Furlitt and her ex husband, they had been divorced for seven years, but had joint custody
16:44
of the child during the hearing the judge supposed to Shapiro, he asked Furlitt if she was vaccinated,
16:50
which should not have even been a question in terms of what they were trying to figure out at
16:55
this particular hearing. So she answered, honestly, and said no, because she has had adverse side
17:00
effects from previous vaccinations before. So the new COVID vaccination was scary to her,
17:05
right? So Shapiro, the judge then ordered that Furlitt's rights be stripped of all parenting time
17:12
for her son until she got vaccinated. She could not see her son until she got vaccinated,
17:19
said the judge, the representative of the court. So this is actually from the article here.
17:23
The attorney representing the father, Jeffrey Leving says that they were surprised by the judge's
17:27
decision, but they support the ruling saying that giving the pandemic, the child should be protected
17:33
from an unvaccinated mother. Remember the stats we just talked about a second ago? Here's a quote
17:37
from the lawyer. These are there are children who have died because of COVID. I think every child
17:42
should be safe. And I agree that the mother should be vaccinated. So this judgment, they know the
17:48
update to this story is that thank God has been reversed. There was another judge that came in
17:52
and was like, Hey, I'm the adult in the room. This is absurd. Like she can obviously see her kid.
17:56
We can't demand that she get vaccinated or else she can't see her kid. But this is why this is
18:00
so important. This is why the story is important is because a lot of you are talking about the
18:05
story or thinking about the story and you're thinking it's about judicial overreach. Okay.
18:09
But judicial overreach is actually the least of our concerns with the story. And it should be the
18:14
least of our concerns. We should be terrified that a judge in America was actually able to get away
18:21
with this in the first place that that's the real story. Because for several weeks, this woman
18:29
cannot see her son because a judge said, Well, I think you should be vaccinated. So you can't see
18:35
your kid. And what if the appellate judge or whoever saw it next that overturned this? What if they
18:42
agreed? What if these two dorks were on the same wavelength? This woman would not have rights to
18:48
her child because she's making a personal health decision about her body, literally her body,
18:54
only her body, right? It's not like my body, my choice with abortion, which is a different body,
18:58
her body, her bodily health autonomy was in question. Okay, because you're saying like that
19:04
lawyer saying that, you know, I agree that the mother should be vaccinated. Great. I'm glad you
19:08
have that opinion. That doesn't apply here. Sir, your opinion as to what she should do or not
19:13
does not directly affect whether or not she will or should do that thing. It's just your opinion.
19:18
And this should have just been the judge's opinion. He could have said, ma'am, I just got to be
19:23
honest with you, you know, COVID's for real and COVID is dangerous. And there are children that
19:27
died from it, even though, as I showed you earlier, very, very small. And even if you take ages zero
19:31
to ages 18, we have just over 400 kids in the United States of a cohort of 75 million-ish
19:38
kids that have died from COVID. But the judge could have said, Look, it's not a zero risk.
19:42
It's essentially zero, but it's not a zero risk. I think it would be a really good idea if you
19:46
were to get the vaccine. And I'm wanted that to be on the record. And then you move on with your life
19:50
because it's not your freaking kid. And she's not putting this kid in undue danger. This isn't like,
19:54
you know, a mom that gets drunk and puts her kid in the back of the station wagon without a seat
19:57
belt on and goes for a joy ride. This isn't the same thing. But very, very important story,
20:02
because this, this happened to Cook County, right? Incredibly, incredibly left-leaning
20:07
blue district, right? Is it that far away or that far fetched to believe that it's going to happen
20:12
in your backyard next? I don't think so. So let's move on to the next story. And I just got to be
20:16
honest. Of all the stories I'm going to share today, some of these get me pretty fired up.
20:20
This one got me more angry than some of the other stories and maybe several of the other
20:24
stories combined. So I'm going to, you know, attach a different news story. But I just want to read
20:28
this tweet because this is how I originally found it. It was a tweet from ESPN MMA, right? So that's
20:33
kind of the, the home of MMA, because that's where the UFC is right now. So here's the tweet. Alain
20:37
and McLaughlin, the first openly transgender athlete to compete in mixed martial arts in the
20:43
United States since 2014, won her MMA debut Friday night, beating Saline Provost via submission
20:51
on the Kombate global prelims in Miami. Okay. So the tweet basically tells you the story,
20:58
but here's some more info that you maybe didn't know. After beating up this woman, McLaughlin,
21:02
a dude, right? After beating up this woman wore a shirt that said in trans genocide.
21:08
I have no idea what that means. I guess I was not aware that we were rounding up trans people,
21:14
throwing them in buses, taking them to concentration camps and summarily executing them.
21:18
Didn't realize that was happening. If you have any more information on that, I would love to see it.
21:23
But first, this is the first dude to be allowed by a state sanctioning body since
21:29
Fallon Fox in 2014 to fight a woman. Okay. So that was the same year that Fallon Fox, who again,
21:34
made all kinds of headlines and Joe Rogan was talking about him and all those different things.
21:38
This guy, again, Fallon Fox, a dude beat up Tamika Brint's so bad that not only did he give her a
21:44
concussion, he broke her orbital bone because and people break their orbital bones and fights,
21:50
but it's especially bad when a man gets in there and does that to a woman. And Fallon Fox was
21:56
considered to be a hero to people, right? But apparently McLaughlin, again, a dude had a hard
22:02
time finding a female opponent to fight him. You know, he actually called it a nightmare,
22:07
a nightmare. I had such a nightmare trying to find a chick that's willing to fight me,
22:11
a guy that's been a guy for almost four decades. Okay. So here's actually an underreported thing.
22:18
So McLaughlin again, a dude was 38 years old at the time of the fight, but he used to be a member
22:22
of the U.S. Army Special Forces. And if you look at pictures of him when he still identified as a
22:28
dude, he was jacked. This dude was enormous, natty, maybe not, but enormous. Okay. But let's talk
22:36
about why this story is important. Okay. There's several things here. The first thing is that we
22:40
thought the gender revolution would stop at sports. We thought surely this is going to stop with
22:48
sports, but the revolution has to roll on. Even it's even if it's to the physical detriment of women,
22:56
because again, we're told that this is a progressive good that this happened,
23:01
that more transgender people are competing in sports. And that's a good thing. But it isn't
23:06
an interesting that we have not seen a single example yet of a female to male transgender
23:14
that is wanted to fight. Otherwise known as a woman that's desiring to fight a man in the same
23:20
weight class. That's so interesting. We're currently only seeing men that want to quote unquote become
23:27
women and go fight one. That's interesting. And another reason why this is so important is
23:33
where are the feminists? Where are they? Because I was under the distinct impression from feminists
23:41
that this was a net negative, right? Any time there is no reason to hit a woman under any
23:47
circumstances whatsoever. And yet they're just sitting there on the sidelines, clapping along
23:53
as this dude is pummeling a chick. Just clapping. Where are they? Again, feminism, second, third,
24:03
and now moving into fourth way feminism, it doesn't jive with a transgender worldview with that
24:08
ideology. And yet these people are trying to keep up their their liberal bona fides. And so they're
24:13
not saying anything or they're cheering it on. And the last thing here again, because I can't go
24:17
into too much detail on all these, the trust the science crowd is being pretty quiet right now.
24:22
They're being awfully quiet. And it is deafening how quiet they're being. Because it's everything's
24:29
about trust the science, right? Trust science, trust science. Unless it's talking about Y chromosomes,
24:33
we don't like that science, right? We like all the science that's been made up on the DSM four,
24:37
right? You know, or the DSM five, basically talking about how this is a real thing.
24:41
The truth is, is that this guy that calls himself Elena has a mental disorder. Okay. And we should
24:48
take video on this person. We should want to help them. But mainstreaming and mainlining his
24:54
delusion that he is a woman is now causing causing physical violence on women. We have to figure out
25:01
if we're going to be in a society that supports that speaking to support this, this organization,
25:05
again, the name of this organization is global. What was it? Combat a global. Yeah. Combat a global.
25:11
Don't support this organization in any way, shape or form. Okay. At all. I had never really
25:17
heard of that, that organization before this or not, you know, a major organization, you know,
25:20
that's not like one or Bellator or UFC or something like that. You can't support this
25:24
organization in any way, shape or form because they weren't the sanctioning body. But they're
25:28
the ones that promoted this fight because no one knows that was a preliminary fight on that
25:32
fight card. Do you know anyone else that fought on that fight card? Yeah, because nobody does.
25:36
This is the only thing that people want to talk about because it was a great moment for the LGBTQ
25:41
plus, uh, you know, world view. We had this tranny get out there and beat up a chick,
25:46
which is apparently great breaking news. Let's move on to the next story here. And this is from
25:50
CBS news. Biden, house 18 Trump military academy board appointees, including Spicer Conway. So
25:56
here's a summary. So these 18 people that are all Trump appointees, they were given a few hours
26:02
notice that they were to resign from the boards of these military academy. So that's West Point,
26:07
you know, Air Force Academy, Naval Academy, or that they would be fired from them. They were given
26:11
a few hours. They were essentially given no option. It's like, you're not going to be a part of this
26:15
board anymore. You're out of here. So the notable people that were ousted were former
26:18
Trump press secretary, Sean Spicer, former Trump advisor, Kellyanne Conway, and former
26:22
national security advisor to Trump, Lieutenant Colonel, or sorry, Lieutenant general, HR McMaster.
26:28
So the thing about this is these people normally, I think they're on like three year terms or
26:32
something like that. And part of the reason why they do that is because they don't want full
26:35
turnover every time there's a new president, right? They want there to be, you know, because the
26:39
military is supposed to be something that's just right down the middle, a political that type of
26:43
thing. But this is why this is so important. The Biden administration wants to fully
26:48
wokify the United States military, thus killing our ability to be effective. Okay,
26:53
all in in the manner of equity, right? Now, I talked about this with Matthew Lohmeyer. He
26:59
wrote an entire book about it called irresistible revolution. He was just on a few weeks ago. You
27:03
should definitely check out that interview and also check out that book because it goes into grave
27:06
detail because he essentially lost his command in the space forcing lost his career because he
27:11
wanted to point out that, Hey, this whole equity and inclusion diversity stuff is going to kill our
27:15
ability to be lethal as as a military. And you shouldn't be telling all the white people in the
27:20
military that they're inherently racist. And there's nothing that they can do about it, right?
27:24
But this is such an nefarious thing because the best and brightest are the ones that go to the
27:30
military academies, right? Those are their people that are going to go and they're going to be
27:34
commissioned as officers from the most part. And they're going to be leading the future of our
27:38
US military operations. And Joe Biden is getting rid of anybody that could potentially push back
27:47
against his equity agenda. Okay, we got pushed back against his critical race theory based nonsense
27:54
that is now being basically marinated all over the military, right? He wants to get rid of that.
28:00
He doesn't want pushback. He doesn't want someone like Sean Spicer or Lieutenant General McMaster.
28:04
He doesn't want those people saying, Hey, hey, I don't think that we should be showing, you know,
28:08
Robin D'Angelo quotes to our, you know, folks over at West Point. I don't know that's the best use
28:13
of their time over there. Perhaps we should teach them how to wage war because the whole
28:17
point of having a military is to defend yourself and also to eradicate danger somewhere else,
28:22
right? To kill people and destroy stuff. That's, that's ultimately the goal of the military, right?
28:26
So this is an incredibly, incredibly important development that really no one's talking about
28:31
how did I not talked about it off air with Matthew Lohmeyer. You know, at the time this was breaking
28:36
news whenever he and I did our interview, but we really couldn't talk about it during our time
28:40
together. But we did discuss it off air. It's something that we really need to keep an eye on.
28:44
All right, guys. Next story here. This is from Fox News, former University of Oklahoma volleyball
28:48
player sues over exclusion from team because of political views. So shout out to Sam, the coach,
28:54
guy from my foxhole for making me aware of this. But here's a summary. Kylie McLaughlin, you know,
28:58
another McLaughlin, but this one actually is a woman who identifies as a woman. She's a real woman,
29:02
but Kylie McLaughlin, a former OU volleyball player is suing her old coaches, Lindsey Gray
29:06
Walton and Kyle Walton at the school and the school rather. And she's saying that she was
29:10
stigmatized as a racist and was eventually forbidden from the team because of her conservative
29:16
political views. Okay, so she's suing for something in the, in the neighborhood of $75,000. And she's
29:21
sued on five different complaints. And one of those complaints was on the grounds of the first
29:25
amendment. So I'm going to read several paragraphs from this article because it was really hard to
29:29
kind of summarize. And I want to make sure that you understand what's going on here. So here it is
29:32
from the article in the court documents. McLaughlin said that the team was forced to watch the 2016
29:37
documentary 13th, which is about the incarceration of black people in the United States. The lawsuit
29:42
states that a team discussion in June of 2020 took some shots at former president Donald Trump
29:46
and compared it with beatings of blacks in the 1960s. The following day, McLaughlin responded
29:51
to a social media news surrounding the discussion over the University of Texas and people advocating
29:56
to replace the eyes of Texas school spirit song. She responded with laughing emojis and McLaughlin
30:02
said that she didn't think the song was racist. Texas and Oklahoma volleyball players responded
30:06
to her on social on social media and gray Walton forced her. That's the coach forced her to delete
30:11
the post and apologize to Texas women's volleyball coaches and players. The lawsuit stated McLaughlin's
30:16
teammates and coaches felt that she was racist and homophobic according to the lawsuit. Although
30:21
McLaughlin sports equality or supports equality, social justice and finds racism despicable,
30:26
she disagreed with the woke culture and critical race theory advocated and practiced by two of her
30:31
coaches who are the defendants in this action. The lawsuit stated McLaughlin was told that she
30:36
didn't fit the culture at Oklahoma and coaches gave her three options. This is ridiculous.
30:40
She was told that she could either transfer or continue on scholarship as a typical student,
30:46
not an athlete. The other option was to take a red shirt year, keep her scholarship and practice
30:51
separately from the rest of the team. The lawsuit stated she had to take more than 10 hours to of
30:57
online diversity and inclusion training for a growth plan McLaughlin said. In the lawsuit,
31:02
McLaughlin said that the school and coaches violated her freedom of speech. She accused her
31:06
coaches of intentionally inflicting emotional distress by alleging that she was a racist
31:10
and a homophobe. Okay. So this girl, you know, hopefully she wins this case and all that. I
31:15
think she transferred to Ole Miss to do her senior year or whatever. But this is why this is so important.
31:20
Is if Kylie McLaughlin loses this lawsuit, get ready for a wave of more stories like this.
31:27
Because this is the first story where you, you see a division one athlete at a major school in a
31:33
major conference being kicked off of a team because of their political beliefs, right?
31:38
Which as you can see here, there wasn't anything reprehensible that she said,
31:42
because the eyes of Texas is not a racist song saying, you know, laughing about it and, you know,
31:46
questioning some of the things that are said in that ridiculous 13th documentary.
31:50
Are things that are just should be common for fodder in a moderated world where we can all
31:54
discuss these types of things. But if she loses this lawsuit, we are going to see woke coaches
32:02
all over the country start kicking people off that they don't agree with. Now, I don't know if
32:06
she was like a major player on this team. You know, maybe if she was the star, they wouldn't
32:10
have done all this stuff, but maybe they would anyway. Maybe the revolution is more important
32:14
than winning games. Because I know there are a lot of coaches that would rather be inclusive
32:19
in equity minded than then winning, especially if they're a person of color or some other type
32:25
of minority on the intersectional coalition of categories, they're probably not going to get
32:29
fired either. Because if you're the AD and you fire someone that hasn't done well,
32:33
but they're really, really big on diversity and inclusion, doesn't that make you a racist by proxy?
32:38
Yeah, it's going to get that crazy. So I'm hoping I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Kylie wins
32:44
this. I absolutely hope that she does, because I think it'll be better for educational institutions
32:50
and it'll be better for these college athletes across the board. So we'll see how that goes.
32:54
All right, guys, next one here. And this is from the Daily Wire. So China bans Sissy
32:59
girly men from television. Okay, so here's the summary. So national radio and television
33:04
administration of the communist Chinese government, they announced, you know, this was a few weeks
33:08
ago that it instituted a new measure to keep effeminate men off of Chinese screens. Okay, so this is
33:14
actually from the article here. Using the term Nyong Pao, sorry, or girly guns, a slur for men
33:20
who exhibit womanly characteristics, the officials called for resolutely putting an end to Sissy
33:25
men and other abnormal aesthetics on television. To that end, they introduced an eight point plan
33:30
designed to address the kind of entertainment they said is responsible for severely polluting
33:35
the social atmosphere and wielding a bad influence over China's youth. One of the key avenues it
33:40
appeared regulators are pinpointing for keeping the girly men off screens is by barring broadcast
33:45
and TV companies from showing talent competitions and idle development programs or variety shows.
33:50
And so essentially what what they're doing is because in other areas, especially in Korea,
33:55
you have kpop and all this thing. So you have these very, you know, a feminine looking men
33:59
that are becoming incredibly popular. And you know, the girls love these effeminate men and the
34:03
boys are becoming more effeminate wearing, you know, long earrings and makeup and stuff like that.
34:09
And the Chinese are like, uh, we're not going to allow that not not on our watch. Okay.
34:13
So this is why this is important. I actually agree with this.
34:17
I actually agree with the Chinese Communist Party on this. I don't agree with their reasoning
34:22
for doing it because they're trying to build a homogenous society that can take over the world.
34:26
I don't agree with that part, but I agree with this. Because they are they don't want
34:34
their young impressionable boys in China. They don't want the well to be poisoned with all this
34:39
feminist nonsense with with these men that are overly feminized in a way that is unmanly.
34:46
They don't want to model to them that this is an okay way of comporting yourself young man
34:51
or young, whatever you want to call yourself eventually. So I actually totally agree with this.
34:56
But another reason why I think it's important is because it is going to be absolutely delicious
35:01
watching how Hollywood responds to this. Because I believe as of last year, maybe even earlier this
35:06
year, China became the largest market for multimedia entertainment, you know, for for movies and
35:12
stuff like that. They became the largest audience, right? And they're only getting bigger. And they
35:18
have, you know, a lot of people have said, you know, they've they've had, you know, movies that
35:22
they've allowed to be released in China, but they had to change several scenes. So wouldn't, you know,
35:26
disagree with the Communist Party. There's been movies that they wouldn't even allow. All right.
35:29
You know, Space Jam wasn't even allowed. I don't even know why that was banned, but not even allowed
35:33
in the country. And here's the thing. Hollywood is driven way more by dollars than it is by
35:38
wokeness. Okay. And you might say, Oh, that's not true. Look at all these movies that they're making
35:42
that are all about the woke stuff. They're making it because they can still do the huge movies that
35:46
make a ton of money with COVID and movie theaters being closed. You know, it's all kind of being
35:50
thrown out of the whack and throwing out a whack a little bit. But I just can't wait to watch how
35:53
this goes. Because the Chinese, they don't give a crap what some Hollywood starlet thinks about what
35:58
they do. They're going to run their country, how they decide to run their communist dictatorial
36:02
satanic country. That's what they're going to do. I wonder if Hollywood's going to start to fall in line.
36:06
Again, here in America, we have way more representation of LGBTQ stuff on screen than we even have in
36:15
real life by a lot of things because we're trying to normalize these things. But China is drawing
36:19
a line in the sand and say, we're not going to normalize a feminine man. And I'm down with that.
36:23
Okay. So next story here is from CNN business. This is China bands kids from playing online
36:28
video games during the week. So here's a summary. Just a quick one. China has barred
36:32
online gamers under the age of 18 from playing on weekdays and limited their play to just three
36:38
hours, most weekends, unless it was a, you know, some sort of a holiday, marking a significant
36:42
escalation of restrictions on the country's massive gaming industry. Here's why this is so
36:48
important. I kind of agree with this one too. Not only did we find one story from the communist
36:55
country of China that I agreed with, you found two and you found two in a row and it's just been
36:59
in the last few weeks. I agree with this because China, it was looking at their country, looking
37:04
at their boys. And this is not the first time they've addressed this issue. But when you have
37:08
these boys that are not worried about school, they're not worried about developing themselves,
37:12
they're not worried about developing themselves physically. They're not dedicating themselves to
37:16
the state in a proper fashion, but they're playing video games for hours and hours and hours every
37:20
single day, they're like, Nope, not going to have that, not going to do that. Now, I like that we
37:26
have a Liberty field country. I like that we can do whatever we want within reason, even though some
37:30
of those rights are kind of being, you know, truncated a little bit in the latter, latter days.
37:34
But I love that there's this restriction on video games. Okay, I'm not advocating for that in the
37:39
United States. Again, Liberty, love me, love me some Liberty, but video games are destroying
37:44
children in the United States. All over the world, but specifically in the United States,
37:49
destroying them, because you have a lot of parents now that grew up playing video games.
37:56
And so they think it's all in good fun for their children to play video games. There's a buddy of
38:01
mine from from high school. This kid was the smartest out of all of us. We had this little
38:04
crew that ran together. He was a smart out of all of us naturally, but he got B season D's in school.
38:09
Never an A, right? He spent all of his time playing World of Warcraft and never studying,
38:15
you know, never really getting after it. And so he got his report card for, you know,
38:18
the end of the fall semester. And he had an F in a couple of subjects. He had a D's and C's
38:24
horrible report card for a kid. I think he was in his, you know, sophomore or junior high school.
38:27
So a very, very important year. What did his parents turn around and do?
38:31
For Christmas, they bought him a brand new desktop computer that would be faster
38:37
and better to play video games on. This guy was failing high school classes because he was
38:44
playing too much video games, too much World of Warcraft. And they said, Oh, let's get him a new
38:49
computer. His old one's a little slow. And that's not a unique story. We have so many parents that
38:55
are just like, they don't want a parent. They don't want to deal with the kid. They don't want to
38:58
deal with the kid saying mom, dad, I'm bored. So they just give him the controller. They allow
39:03
them to have a television in their room, right? So they can look at porn whenever they want,
39:07
hide it from their parents, right? But they allow them to have a television and a playstation
39:10
or an Xbox in their room or, you know, a, you know, high, high speed computer, right? And then
39:15
they just play video games. These kids aren't sleeping well. They're not concentrating at school.
39:20
There are no ramifications. If they do poorly in school because they're playing too many video
39:24
games, they're not developing real real world relationships with friends. They don't understand
39:29
how to talk to the opposite sex. Everything is the world they're playing in the Call of Duty world,
39:35
the Madden world, the whatever, you know, Fortnite world. That's the world that they're living in.
39:40
And this is having an incredibly deleterious effect on children.
39:43
And the Chinese Communist Party is like, nope, we're trying to take over the world. Again,
39:49
I don't agree with their reasons for it. But they're taking, they're taking stances against this,
39:54
right? And in a country like that, all they can do is, you know, enforce it through threat of violence.
39:59
But it's something that we should be thinking about here in terms of like,
40:01
what would be better for our children to allow them more time to do these things that are rotting
40:05
their brains or less time? Because again, for every one kid that makes it and is making
40:09
multi millions of dollars playing video games every year, there are tens of thousands of kids
40:13
that aren't anywhere near that playing the same amount of video games. That's a problem.
40:16
So we're going to go into the next story here, but I want to contrast these last two stories
40:20
with this next one. So this is from Blaze News. New study promotes princess power for little boys
40:26
as a way to combat toxic masculinity. I hate this so much. But here's a summary,
40:30
this is actually from the article on Friday. Campus Reform reported that a team of developmental
40:35
psychology researchers led by BYU professor Sarah Cohen determined that exposing children,
40:41
specifically young boys to Disney princess culture, may make them less likely to believe in traditional
40:47
gender roles, which she calls hegemonic masculinity. According to Cohen, the concept of princess power
40:53
is when children who watch Disney princess content and were more likely to reject traditional gender
40:59
roles. So while China is trying to keep all their boys from playing video games all day and dressing
41:05
up like girls in America, we want our little boys to learn from Disney princess culture.
41:12
To learn about princess power, this is why this story is so important. Similar to the story I
41:17
talked about earlier with the trainee MMA fighter, we thought the gender revolution would stop with
41:22
kids. But the revolution has to roll on, even if it's to the physical and mental detriment of kids.
41:30
Because gender roles are incredibly important. Some people would say that a lot of the roles
41:37
that are taken within gender don't have anything to do with culture and they have a lot to do with
41:41
biological wiring. They have a lot to do with who God made us to be, right? And our role in the
41:48
world and how we should operate. But that is somehow and is more important than what you progressive,
41:54
you know, professor at some college, than what you believe it should be. But there has to be a
42:00
revolution in gender. We need our girls to become more manly and we need our boys to become more
42:05
feminine. That's what we need to do. We need to level the playing field and make this homogenous
42:11
culture where everybody is the same and thinks the exact same. And the thing about it is, guys,
42:16
is you know who's reading the research by people like this professor? The Kate through 12 teacher
42:23
at your kid's school. Overwhelmingly, the public schools, but certainly some private schools as well
42:29
and Christian schools. They're reading this research and going, huh, huh? Yeah, I don't want my boy to
42:37
grow up to be toxically masculine or, you know, I don't want the boys in my class to grow up to
42:42
be toxically masculine. Let's study Cinderella. Let's study Snow White. Let's let's study frozen.
42:48
Let's let's study these things. And then we'll be able to help these young boys before they even
42:54
know that they're in trouble. Now, if you read more that article, which I encourage you to do,
42:58
they're talking about how a lot of men, adult men are emotionally stunted, which is obviously true.
43:03
But they're saying that one of the ways that you can fix that is by early on showing them
43:07
that traditional gender roles specifically like stoicism in men is a net negative for them.
43:13
And they shouldn't act that way. But you're not telling them that and also saying that masculinity
43:18
is important. You're telling them this and you're saying that you're broken the way that you are
43:24
and what you need to be is more like this Disney princess. What could possibly go wrong?
43:28
All right, guys, we're going to move on to the last one here. So this is from the Wall Street
43:32
Journal, a generation of American men give up on college. I just feel lost. So this is a
43:37
summary and this is actually from the article here. Men are abandoning higher education in such
43:41
numbers that the now they now trail female college students by record levels. At the close of the
43:47
2020 2021 academic year, women made up 59.5% of college students and all time high and men
43:55
40.5%. According to enrollment data from the national student clearing house, a nonprofit
44:00
research group, US colleges and universities had 1.5 million fewer students compared to five years
44:05
ago and men accounted for 71% of the decline. So this is why this is important. This will be great
44:13
for some men, but horrible for most men. Okay. Now there are some people even on the right side
44:21
of the aisle that think this is a great thing. Men don't need to be going to college and I've
44:24
talked about a lot on this podcast and otherwise that, you know, the college system is not built
44:29
for most people. If you're conservative male, the college system is going to be terrible for you.
44:33
And I think it's important that you're going to have more students or more, you know, young boys
44:38
that are going to be going the entrepreneurial route as opposed to going to college. They're not
44:41
going to get into six figures a debt for a degree that's useless, right? Maybe they'll go into the
44:46
trades, you know, they'll become a plumber an electrician or a woodworker, you know, they're
44:51
going to become something like that. They're going to work with their hands. They're going to build
44:53
a business. They're going to employ people. They're going to affect families in a positive way.
44:56
Some of my favorite people on this planet have kind of gone that route. But credentialing is still a
45:01
thing. And until most major businesses in the United States stop requiring a college degree
45:09
for people to apply for jobs at their, at their place or, or to get a promotion,
45:13
credentialing is still going to be important. Because getting a degree is just a shortcut for
45:18
most, you know, people that are in HR departments that are doing the hiring, it's just a shortcut
45:23
to be like, okay, this person's smart enough to get through college, even though you can be an
45:26
absolute bloody idiot and still get a degree, right? They don't print your GPA
45:30
on your diploma. Nobody asks you your GPA in public. Again, I got a 4.0 in college. Does anybody
45:35
care? Like nobody cares about that. This is not a big deal. This is not something that ever comes
45:40
up in conversation, right? But the thing is that I feel like it is really, really lost in all this.
45:45
It's that a lot of kids are going to need this credentialing. Because they just want to be a
45:49
worker be they want to work in a cubicle and do their job. And I understand people that have that
45:53
mindset. I'm not wired for that. But a lot of people are wired for that. So this is going to
45:57
potentially be a really, really bad thing for a lot of boys. Okay. Another thing that's important
46:01
about the story is this is all part of the equity agenda, right? This is all about equity, right?
46:05
So feminists are looking at this and they're like, yes, yes, we're going to have more representation
46:09
and within a few years for every two girls that get a college degree, there's only going to be one
46:14
guy that gets a college degree. Okay. But most of the universities know that this is not a recipe
46:19
for long term success. Their universities right now that are albeit very quietly,
46:24
trying to recruit more boys to come because they know that if there's only this single type of
46:30
representation at their school, it's not great for things as we move forward, right? But this
46:34
is really bad for men in a lot of ways because some of these men aren't going to be going the
46:38
entrepreneurial route. They're not going to be going to the trades and they're not going to get
46:41
their credentials. They're just going to waste away. They're going to waste away in front of a
46:45
television screen as they're playing video games. They're going to waste away from a computer
46:49
computer screen as they're, you know, looking at porn and jerking off. That that's what's going to
46:53
happen to most of these boys. They're just going to exist. They're just going to amoeba their way
46:57
through life. They're not going to be concerned about moving out of their parents house because
47:00
their parents are irresponsible and allowing that to happen. They're not going to worry about getting
47:03
a relationship because they've got their left hand and a computer screen. So why do they need to
47:07
a relationship with a real girl, right? This is going to be a major, major problem. But this all,
47:12
the story reminded me of a quote from 12 rules for life by Jordan Peterson. So this is from rule 11
47:16
do not bother children when they're skateboarding. Girls can win by winning in their own hierarchy,
47:21
by being good at what girls value as girls. They can add to this victory by winning in the boys
47:27
hierarchy. Boys, however, can only win by winning in the male hierarchy. They will lose status among
47:33
girls and boys by being good at what girls value. It costs them in reputation among boys and in
47:38
attractiveness among the girls. Girls aren't attracted to boys who are their friends,
47:43
even though they might like them, whatever that means. They are attracted to boys who win
47:47
status contests with other boys. If you're male, however, you can't just hammer a female as hard
47:52
as you would a male. Boys can't won't play truly competitive games with girls. It isn't clear how
47:58
they can win. As the game turns into a girls game, therefore the boys leave. Are the universities
48:04
particularly the humanities about to become a girls game? Is this what we want? The situation
48:12
in the universities and in the educational institutions in general is far more problematic
48:16
than the basic statistics indicate. If you eliminate the so-called stem that science technology,
48:21
engineering and mathematics programs, excluding psychology, the female to male ratio is even more
48:26
skewed. Almost 80% of students majoring in the fields of health care, public administration,
48:31
psychology and education, which comprise one quarter of all degrees, are female. The disparity
48:36
is still rapidly increasing. At this rate, there will be very few men in most university disciplines
48:42
in 15 years. This is not good news for men. It might even be catastrophic news for men,
48:47
but it's also not good news for women. Again, this whole idea of men not going to college,
48:54
it is not great for our culture. Again, we have the most successful post high school
49:01
graduate or educational system in the world. That's why we still welcome tens of thousands,
49:06
if not millions of students from all around the globe that want to come here and get educated.
49:10
Right? So Indian students are coming here. Chinese students are coming here. Japanese
49:14
students are coming here. Brazilian students are coming here. They're all coming here because we
49:18
have the best university system for now. But if your university stops worrying about education
49:26
and about research and about true credentialing and goes the way of the woke or the critical
49:32
race theorists or the Marxist or the communist, what value is going to be there? And I think that
49:37
the ultimate point there is when men don't see a way that they can win, a lot of men just stop
49:43
participating. So if they don't see a way that they can win in a relationship,
49:47
they tune out of the relationship. If they don't see they can have a way to win a game,
49:50
that's like, for me, I don't really like playing games for fun. That doesn't really make sense to
49:54
me. I was like, are we keeping scores? They're a winner here? Yeah, I'm all for us kind of having
49:58
fun doing a hobby, but at some point, one of us has to win, not so that we can crush the other
50:02
person just so we know things. Right? I was at a jujitsu tournament a couple of weeks ago.
50:06
People need to know whether or not they won the match. It's really important. Otherwise,
50:10
just stay practicing. Go to your home gym and practice. Don't keep score. Right? This is really,
50:15
really important. But guys, that kind of wraps up this, the, all these news stories and everything
50:20
like that. And you might be thinking to yourself, you're still hanging around. Why, why are we talking
50:24
about this? Why are we talking about all these different stories? Okay. And the reason is, is
50:28
because there's nothing virtuous about burying our heads in the sand. So I was having lunch with
50:34
the guy yesterday that he said, Kyle, I just got to admit to you there. Sometimes I just want to
50:38
bury my head in the sand. I don't want to know all the things that you know. I don't want to know
50:41
about these news stories. I don't want to know the things that are coming out of these books. I don't
50:44
want to know anything about these nefarious worldviews. You know, I just want to read my Bible and kind
50:47
of operate in, in, you know, work and provide for my family and kind of move on. And I understand
50:51
that sentiment. And I understand there's a lot of people that are like, why would I read all these
50:54
books about all these different things? Why wouldn't I just read the scriptures? And I understand
50:58
that sentiment as well. But again, let's go back to Proverbs 1815 that I said from the beginning.
51:02
An intelligent heart acquires knowledge and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
51:07
And every single one of these stories, again, there's nine or 10 of them. I've got links
51:10
that I'm going to provide for you in the quick resilience boost. You need to go read about these
51:14
stories. If there's one or two that really caught your eye or attention, you need to dig deeper into
51:19
those and figure out what's going on. But guys, we can't push back darkness if we refuse to recognize
51:26
it. You know, you want to get all excited and push back against Marxism and push back against
51:31
all these satanic worldviews and push back against all that. And you don't know where any of those
51:34
worldviews come from. You don't know why you should be pushing back against them. You have to feed
51:40
your brains because again, the Bible is the answer. The things that are that are talked about in the
51:45
gospels, that that's the answer to most every question. Right? Again, I've said, I think it was
51:50
this three weeks in a row, origin, meaning morality, destiny, origin. Where did we come from meaning?
51:54
Why are we here? Morality? How do you tell between good and evil and destiny? Where do we go when
51:57
we die? I think the Christian worldview answers that in the most succinct and appropriate fashion.
52:02
But there's all these other things that aren't talked about in the scriptures, specifically,
52:06
that we need to know how to push back on. And you can't do that if you don't know anything about
52:10
them. All right, guys, before we let you go, we are going to do a quick resilience boost out on
52:13
daunted life. Our mission is equipping men to push back darkness with content that forge a
52:16
spiritual mental and physical resilience. So for today, I just have links to all the stories. I'm
52:20
not going to read them to you here, but every single one of the stories that we talked about
52:23
today in order, I've got a link there for you. So you can read the new story for yourself.
