0:30 This is Undaunted Life of Man's Podcast.
0:51 I'm your host Kyle Thompson.
0:53 Let's get into it.
0:55 Let's take one another in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody
0:59 to the Lord with your heart.
1:01 That is Ephesians 519, guys.
1:02 I'm so happy to have you here today.
1:04 Happy Thanksgiving since I missed you all last week, so happy Thanksgiving on that.
1:07 I am very, very thankful for all of our donors.
1:09 So guys, if you don't know this by now, the majority of how we're able to keep the lights
1:13 on here at Undaunted Life is because we have monthly donors.
1:16 These are guys that believe in what we do.
1:17 They want to equip men to push back darkness, and so we need more guys just like that.
1:21 So as you're getting into the year-in giving, your one-time gifts, make sure you keep Undaunted
1:25 Life in mind.
1:26 And also for that special guy in your life, typically a guy that is into cigars.
1:31 Just a reminder, we have Undaunted Life cigars.
1:33 That is an amazing Christmas present.
1:35 They're sold in singles, three packs, and boxes of 20.
1:38 They are our cigars, Undaunted Life.
1:40 It's branded right on there.
1:41 It's branded right there on the box and a portion of the proceeds, the majority of the
1:45 proceeds go to support the rescue team of the Tim Tebow Foundation.
1:49 So that is the arm of the Tim Tebow Foundation that actively rescues and prevents child sex
1:54 trafficking and other types of trafficking.
1:56 And so guys, if you're looking for a gift, if you've got a cigar smoker in your life,
2:00 if someone just loves the taste of lovely tobacco, make sure you go and check those out.
2:05 Those will be in the show notes.
2:06 And again, if you're guys in cigars, he's probably a manly man, which means he's also
2:09 into beef.
2:10 So remember that we are sponsored by Primal Beef.
2:13 Guys, if you miss our interview with Sean Glass, one of the founders of Primal Beef, make
2:16 sure you go back and listen to that from what was it, last week or week before that.
2:20 There is a promo code.
2:21 Use a promo code Kyle.
2:22 That's my first name, KYLE, to get 10% off your order.
2:24 Guys, it's some of the best beef I've ever had in my entire life in Sean Glass in that
2:29 interview.
2:30 He really went into a lot of detail as to kind of why they're able to get that, that
2:34 level of flavor with what they're doing.
2:36 So that's all great and good to go.
2:38 And so today for this episode, just one thing from the very top, if you hear me clearing
2:42 my throat quite a bit, I'm a little under the weather last few months or last few months,
2:46 last few weeks, I've had some more trouble with my voice.
2:49 So I'm not sure exactly what's going on.
2:50 We're trying to figure that out, but hopefully it's not as bad as last time because last
2:53 time required multiple surgeries.
2:54 So hopefully we're not there.
2:56 Now we're going to hit quick hitters today.
2:57 So I know a lot of you guys are very happy that quick hitters are back.
3:00 This is probably though going to be my last set of quick hitters for 2023 because I was
3:05 looking at the release schedule and it looks like I've got a lot of, you know, interviews
3:08 and forging table coming out, but then we've got all of our year in stuff.
3:11 So our best books of the year, best podcast of the year, kind of like our year in summary
3:14 episode as well.
3:15 So this might be the last batch.
3:16 So I'm doing a few more than normal.
3:18 So here are the quick hitters that we're going to hit today.
3:20 The Supreme Court of the United States rejecting Derek Chauvin's appeal.
3:24 Britney Spears revealing that she aborted the baby that she conceived with Justin Timberlake
3:28 when she was 19.
3:30 The pro life movement suffering another terrible defeat this time in Ohio.
3:34 New national polls suggesting that Donald Trump will beat Joe Biden in the 2024 general election,
3:39 a Georgia high school football coach being fired after setting up a baptism event for
3:43 his players, the pope opening the door to the blessing of same-sex couples by the Catholic
3:48 church, Israel agreeing to a temporary ceasefire in order to re-acquire 50 Israeli hostages
3:53 and also American farmers going over to Israel to take care of Israeli farmland while the
3:58 farmers are fighting Hamas.
3:59 But before we get there, I want to talk about the title of this episode.
4:04 So I don't ever usually refer to the title.
4:06 I do come up with the titles typically before I record in case I do want to refer to them,
4:10 but it might seem a little bit hyperbolic.
4:12 The song that changed my life, really, Kyle, you're going to go there, the song that changed
4:18 your life was a really a song that changed your life.
4:20 And here's the thing, I don't want to be hyperbolic.
4:22 I don't want to be crazy.
4:24 But there is a song that I heard in the last few months that has shifted my thinking on
4:30 a very, very important topic.
4:31 Okay.
4:32 And so we'll get there.
4:34 But if you've listened to the show for any length of time, obviously, you know, I've got
4:36 you know, metal music, heavy metal music on the front end and back end on the show.
4:40 Some people like that.
4:41 A lot of people don't.
4:42 That's what I like, but I do have a very eclectic taste in music.
4:45 And so I can very much so go from listening to incredibly heavy like death metal to, you
4:52 know, maybe a worship song by Shane and Shane, maybe to a classical song, maybe to a country
4:57 song, maybe to, you know, a hip hop song.
4:59 I'm all over the place.
5:01 Now I will say the majority of the time when I am listening to music, because I don't listen
5:03 to music that often anymore, it's like outlaw country or metal, like, and there's not a
5:08 whole lot of in between, but that's, that's basically where I go.
5:11 But whenever I was thinking about this episode, and to be honest with you, I wanted to record
5:14 this episode months ago, but Andy Stanley decided to be a complete tool.
5:17 And so I had to focus on him for a little bit, but I was thinking about songs throughout
5:21 my life that I feel like, you know, quote, unquote changed my life.
5:24 And again, it's not like, Oh, you know, I was doing heroin when I was seven, then I heard
5:28 this song and then I turned, you know, it's not like that type of thing.
5:31 But songs that as I look back, these are like seminal songs or cornerstone songs in terms
5:35 of my taste or kind of where I go with things.
5:37 So the first one I thought of is the unforgiven to by Metallica off the reload album from 1997.
5:44 So some of you metalheads out there will be like, really a song from reload?
5:48 Are you kidding me?
5:49 That's one of the worst albums from Metallica.
5:51 But here's the thing, I was in like fifth grade when that came out.
5:55 And so that was like my first exposure, because like my parents, like listen to country music
5:59 or listen to, you know, classic rock on the radio.
6:01 And so the unforgiven to, and I remember the music video, that was the first time I was
6:05 exposed to like heavy or music than what you would hear on the radio.
6:09 Okay.
6:10 And that's because, you know, the reload album had just come out that year.
6:13 And so that was the first time I remember liking heavy music.
6:16 And then, you know, with Metallica, obviously I start with reload and then I start working
6:19 my way backwards to load and then the black album and then injustice for all.
6:23 And then I find myself to master a puppets and then ride lightning and kill them all.
6:27 And then, you know, I followed them since then, but that was kind of my first exposure to liking
6:30 heavy music.
6:31 But then things really went to a different level in 1997.
6:35 Well, this is when the album came out, but there was an album called Reborn and it was
6:39 by the band Living Sacrifice and the song was reborn and powered.
6:43 Okay.
6:44 So that was the first song off of that album.
6:46 This was my first introduction to underground metal music, specifically underground Christian
6:51 metal music.
6:52 So a buddy of mine from, you know, my, you know, youth group or whatever, he let me borrow
6:57 that and the society's finest album and I go home and I put that in and that's the first
7:01 song that played was reborn and powered and I was like, wait a minute, this, this is something
7:06 different entirely.
7:07 And then when you read the lyrics, you know, sees God honoring, you know, lyrics and things
7:11 like that.
7:12 I was like, okay, that's, that's pretty incredible.
7:13 And then I got a hold of a, an album from Zayo and the album is where Blood and Fire,
7:19 where Blood and Fire bring rest and that was from 1998 and the song, I think it's the second
7:23 song off that, off that album is to think of you as to treasure and absent memory.
7:27 So that became my favorite song off of my favorite album by my favorite band of all
7:34 time.
7:35 So Zayo is my favorite band of all time.
7:36 And so that's whenever I basically like stuck my, you know, flag in the ground.
7:40 It's like, okay, I'm, I'm a metal head and specifically underground metal, you know, that
7:44 was kind of like a badge on or you're never going to hear this on the radio kind of thing.
7:47 Like that was my deals.
7:48 Like I hate radio rock.
7:49 And so I got into bands like Zayo again, Zayo, even to this day is my favorite band.
7:53 But then to shift gears just a little bit, uh, Johan Pacabel, and so Paco Bell, or I guess
7:58 is how you would say his, his last name, but Pacabel's canon, AKA canon in D, that is the
8:05 song that was played as my wife walked down the aisle.
8:08 So that's the song I got married to.
8:09 And I mean, this song was, you know, done, you know, back in the 1600s or 1700s, they
8:13 don't know exactly when, but that is a very seminal song for me.
8:16 Every time I hear it in a restaurant or some, some other random place, you know, reminds
8:20 me of the day that, you know, Kelsey, you know, gave herself to me as my wife, then fast forward,
8:26 we'll, we'll keep the metal thing going.
8:27 The song, the finisher by O sleeper.
8:30 Okay.
8:31 So that's off their 2009 album, son of the morning.
8:34 That's maybe my favorite specifically Christian metal song of all time, specifically the Christian
8:41 metal as a genre.
8:42 It definitely has the best outro.
8:44 So I, I've talked about this before, but I just want to read the outro lyrics and just
8:47 imagine and you need to go listen all these songs anyway, just so you can kind of get
8:50 a sense of where my head's at.
8:51 But here's the, here's the final parts of the lyrics here.
8:54 I will sing to the world your storm is capturing and the angels will join me.
8:59 We will sing to a world reborn from suffering from the armories, the angels sing.
9:04 You will see them in this suffering from the armories, the angels sing.
9:09 You will fear them when they lift their wings.
9:11 They will sing to a world reborn.
9:14 They will sing as I cut off your horns.
9:17 I'll cut off your horns.
9:18 And so this is a song about God cutting off Satan's horns.
9:22 And this is inspiration for, you know, the tattoo that's on my right arm and shoulder,
9:25 you know, the fight between good and evil.
9:27 But this is a depiction of God cutting off Satan's horns.
9:30 And then to shift gears again, again, eclectic taste here, the song, Tennessee whiskey by
9:34 Chris Stapleton that was released in 2015 on his album, Traveler, I feel like that song
9:40 brought me back to country music.
9:41 Cause again, I grew up listening to country music with my parents, but not really liking
9:45 it and then being exposed to a lot of like country radio and like most of the country
9:49 that's played on the radio is just awful.
9:52 The lyrics are terrible.
9:53 It's, it's depraved in terms of the subject matters, just not really, really my thing.
9:58 But I remember it was like the CMT awards or CMA's or something like that, Chris Stapleton
10:02 performed with Justin Timberlake and they performed a couple of songs and one of them
10:06 was Tennessee whiskey.
10:07 And I was like, wait a minute, who is this guy?
10:09 You know, Chris Stapleton, he doesn't have like this big stage presence.
10:12 He just, he's there with his guitar and his cowboy hat and he just gets after it.
10:15 But I feel like that put me on a path for the last several years to kind of, you know,
10:19 go back to my roots of country music again.
10:20 I don't really dig a lot of the stuff that's played on the radio, but especially some of
10:24 the outlaw stuff.
10:25 And I talked about that a lot in my country music theology episode from a month back or
10:29 so.
10:30 And then the last one I'll mention here is Shane and Shane, Psalm 46.
10:34 So that's the song Lord of Hosts.
10:35 That's off their Psalms to album released in 2015.
10:38 I think that is the greatest of all time worship, worship song off of the greatest of all time
10:43 worship album by the goats of worship music.
10:46 And I told them that to their face when I interviewed Shane and Shane earlier this year,
10:50 that song is specifically built for the guy that doesn't listen to, you know, these, these
10:56 Bethel songs, these Hillsong songs or elevation or these random things or these random, you
11:01 know, very effeminate worship songs and Shane and Shane aren't going to overwhelm you with
11:05 their, their machismo from the mic, but they, they try to stick to the Bible when they and
11:10 they do stick to the Bible and their lyrical content.
11:13 And then when they sing the Psalms, they're not doing it from this, you know, effeminate
11:17 perspective, especially in Psalm 46.
11:19 Okay.
11:20 So that just kind of gives you a little rundown from, you know, little kid elementary school
11:23 all the way up to today.
11:25 But earlier this summer, I heard this song.
11:28 It's called These Are The Days off of the 2023 album Pioneer by Corey Asbury.
11:34 Okay.
11:35 So Corey Asbury, I guess he's, so he's a Christian artist.
11:39 This, this album is kind of in the, the Christian country sphere a little bit.
11:43 There's a lot of country music elements.
11:46 And you know, I guess he wrote the, what's the song that he wrote that he's famous for
11:49 a reckless love or something like that.
11:52 I saw a lot of people like just hate this guy online because they don't like the lyrics
11:56 reckless love.
11:57 God's love's not reckless.
11:58 And I guess this summer he posted like a video on Instagram where he was, he was obviously
12:02 kidding and talking about, you know, he had gotten to a milestone on Instagram with followers.
12:07 And he was like basically giving thanks to God as if he were a genie, right, kind of this
12:11 prosperity gospel thing.
12:13 And these Christians took him seriously and like what is more insufferable than a Christian
12:17 that takes someone literally when they're obviously kidding.
12:20 So he was obviously kidding.
12:21 So, you know, some people like him.
12:22 Some people don't.
12:23 I don't really care.
12:24 But I discovered his song on TikTok.
12:26 So TikTok isn't the greatest thing for humanity, but there are some good things that come out
12:30 of it.
12:31 And so I think it was him and his wife singing in like a stairwell and they're singing the
12:36 song and you know, again, it's TikTok video.
12:38 So it's only like a little snippet of their song and I was like, that's interesting.
12:41 So I go and listen to this song and I'll get to the song, you know, more here in a second.
12:47 But why I'm going to talk about why this song or a song specifically changed my life and
12:54 the reason why is because this song by Corey Asbury again, these are the days.
12:59 It helped give me perspective on the fleeting moment in time that I'm living through right
13:05 now as it pertains to my two sons.
13:08 And that'll make more sense here in a second whenever I I'm going to read through the lyrics
13:11 for you because I obviously can't play the song.
13:12 I don't have the rights to it to do so.
13:14 But whenever I was about to be a father, you know, where I got to meet my kid because obviously
13:20 the moment that Kelsey and I conceived, I was a father in that moment.
13:24 But when James was about to be born, I remember hearing from all my friends, man, your life's
13:28 going to change.
13:29 The moment you see that baby, it's just like things are going to click in your brain and
13:32 you'll never know that you can love something or feel like you need to protect something
13:35 all in your life.
13:36 And as I've talked about on the show before, when James came, like obviously it was an
13:40 overwhelming emotional experience, but I was just, I didn't feel the way that a lot of
13:44 these guys told me I would feel because I was immediately struck with like, Oh crap.
13:48 Now I got to like, I got to do something like I got to figure out like, what can I do?
13:51 And as most of you know, with a with a baby baby, like a newborn dad, you basically can't
13:56 do anything other than try to keep your wife alive, you know what I mean?
13:59 Like yeah, you know, protect the protect the house from wolves.
14:02 But aside from that, there's not much you can really do directly for that child.
14:06 And so I didn't really get that connection.
14:08 That changed a little bit when James was six weeks old, when he had to have emergency surgery
14:12 on on himself.
14:14 And you know, I'm handing this baby over to a nurse thinking, I'm never going to see this
14:17 kid again.
14:18 And then it was like, okay, it started to click like, Oh, I really do care about this thing.
14:21 I really do love this thing.
14:23 You know, this is my son.
14:24 Yeah, like this is my progeny, but then the same thing with Elijah when Elijah came and,
14:28 you know, James is three now and Elijah is one.
14:31 And that connection that you have is just different as a dad than it is for a mom, obviously
14:36 for a myriad of different different reasons.
14:39 And so what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to like figure out like, what is my time as
14:44 a dad?
14:45 Like, when do I really come to shine?
14:46 And I've heard a lot of people say here recently, Hey man, just batten down the hatchets and
14:50 hold on tight for as long as you can, because look, they're just not your kids right now.
14:55 They're your kids, but they're not your kids, their mom's kids, right?
14:57 They need more nurturing and all that.
14:58 But man, when they turn five, six, seven, nine, 10 years old, whatever, that's when you really
15:03 need to be dad.
15:04 That's like when dad is the most important.
15:06 And then you hear about like what john Tyson talks about with a severing dinner in the
15:09 intentional father and things like that.
15:11 And so it's like, okay, I've got three year old and a one year old.
15:12 So now's maybe not my time.
15:14 Okay.
15:15 So let me just try to get as much work done now and try to focus on the stuff that I'm trying
15:19 to grow right now, focus on on daunted.
15:20 And then, you know, I can kind of, you know, check back in to be dad a little bit later.
15:25 And then I heard the song for the first time.
15:29 And I, for whatever reason, when I listen to the song for the first time, I was very intentional
15:33 because I listen to music somewhat passively.
15:35 So sometimes when I exercise, I'll have music on the background.
15:38 Sometimes I listen to it in a car, but very rarely do I sit down and like listen to a
15:42 song and like, okay, I'm going to listen to the lyrics and understand the lyrics and
15:45 try to get something out of it.
15:46 And I'll tell you, by the end of the song, I was in tears.
15:51 And like, I don't know that I've ever cried at a song before.
15:54 Like, I remember maybe when I was a little kid, there was like a Tim McGraw song, oh,
15:57 don't take the girl.
15:58 Okay.
15:59 So that's a Tim McGraw song from early on.
16:00 I remember crying at that song because I was like, oh, it's so sad.
16:02 Don't take the girl.
16:03 Right.
16:04 Anyone that's heard that song knows what I'm talking about.
16:06 But like as an adult, like hearing a song, like it may be like, oh, this song's great,
16:09 but I'm not going to be in tears.
16:11 But it was because of where I'm at in my life, because of where I'm at with my sons, because
16:16 of where I'm at with you, trying to build a business and grow a business and my wife's
16:20 doing the same.
16:21 And there's a lot of stress and we don't have a lot of help and there's just no time to
16:24 get anything done, blah, blah, blah, the whiny little stuff that someone might say.
16:28 But this song deeply affected me emotionally.
16:32 And I will say, even in preparing for this podcast, listening to it again, like I always
16:37 get choked up at this song.
16:38 And I mean, for a couple of months there, I listened to the song every day and I made
16:43 sure to listen to it every day, almost as something to just reset my brain.
16:47 Like I just need to reset my brain and focus in a particular area because this is, this
16:53 is such an important thing that this song has helped teach me.
16:55 So this is what I want you guys to do.
16:58 If you're in a place where you can do this safely, I want you to pause this podcast and
17:02 I want you to go listen to the song.
17:03 Okay.
17:04 So the song is, these are the days by Corey Asbury, office latest album called Pioneer.
17:08 Okay.
17:09 If you're driving, please don't do this.
17:10 Please don't start messing with your phone.
17:11 But if you got Spotify or Apple, you know, music or however you get your music, go to
17:16 YouTube, find it, listen to it.
17:18 Cause again, I can't play it for you right here, but go listen to that song right now.
17:23 Okay.
17:24 So you have my permission, pause my show, go listen to that and then come back.
17:29 And so if you've done that, welcome back.
17:31 I hope you've heard the song and got to enjoy it a little bit, but again, I can't play
17:35 the song here, but I do want to read the lyrics for you and I'll kind of indicate where there's
17:38 verse breaks and courses and stuff like that, but let me read it to you.
17:41 And then we'll get into some feedback and then we'll hit the quick hitters.
17:45 Hospital to home was a four minute drive.
17:47 The baby on board made it 35.
17:50 We didn't sleep a wink that night, just laid by the crib, singing nursery rhymes.
17:55 These are the days that we'll want back.
17:57 First two, the kindergarten drop off line, his first day of school didn't even cry.
18:02 And that was when we knew that life, it had a funny way of just passing us by.
18:07 These are the days that we'll want back now, of course.
18:11 So tell them bedtime stories, give them a kiss good night, darling, before we know it,
18:15 this old house will be quiet.
18:17 I know we're tired right now.
18:19 Some day we'll laugh about it.
18:20 Let's slow it down and raise a glass because these are the days that we'll want back.
18:25 Now verse three, it took us a day to build that bike felt like we only got a minute to
18:30 watch him ride, juggling dinner, school and practice times, just trying to make it through
18:35 to that glass of cheap wine.
18:37 These are the days that we'll want back.
18:39 We'll want back.
18:40 Here's the course again.
18:42 So tell them bedtime stories, give them a kiss good night, darling, before we know it,
18:46 this old house will be quiet.
18:48 I know we're tired right now.
18:50 Some day we'll laugh about it.
18:51 Let's slow it down and raise a glass because these are the days that we'll want back.
18:56 Now the bridge, all of the countless crazy sleepless nights, all of the firsts in the
19:01 last and the tears that we've cried.
19:04 All of the, how does this work, dad?
19:06 And mom, tell me why sometimes growing up feels like goodbye.
19:11 First four.
19:12 And this is where I typically lose it, you know, whatever I'm listening to it.
19:15 There was a time, here I am getting emotional right now, just reading lyrics to the song.
19:20 But here we go.
19:21 There was a time when we were your world and now you're moving on to marry your girl.
19:26 So buy her a house and call it home, give her a life and some kids of her own and then
19:32 the chorus again and then it goes to the outro.
19:34 Tell them bedtime stories, give them a kiss good night.
19:37 Because before you know it, that old house will be quiet.
19:40 I know you're wild right now.
19:41 Some day we'll laugh about it.
19:43 Let's raise a glass and toast to that because we'll all, because we'll always be your mom
19:47 and dad.
19:48 And these are the days that we'll want back, we'll want them back, want them back.
19:53 So the thing about it is for me, guys, and I don't have like, here's the three things.
19:58 Here's my big three takeaways from the song.
19:59 If you listen to a song, don't like it, I don't care, it doesn't have to have an impact
20:02 on you, but it has had an impact on me.
20:05 I am a work in progress as it pertains to being present and cherishing the moments that
20:10 we're in.
20:12 But I'm here for the journey because again, I'm not a completed process here.
20:17 I still struggle because again, you're, you're with these kids, but like, especially like
20:22 with my one year old, we don't really communicate because he's one.
20:25 He has, you know, like, I don't know, 20 words that he can say, and he's not really, you know,
20:29 I'm not conversating with him yet with James, who's three going on four.
20:33 It's a little bit different.
20:35 But again, it's like, okay, I've got stuff I need to do and I need to be away from the
20:39 kids, but then I also need to be with the kids and like, how do I get all that?
20:42 And are they getting the most out of dad right now?
20:45 They are noticing things about dad that are good and noticing things about dad that are
20:49 not very good.
20:51 But I'm trying to be as present in these moments because when people are like, Hey, you know,
20:55 these are the days that you'll want back my typical modus operandi.
20:59 The thing I default to is why in the world would I want to come back to this?
21:04 This level of stress, this level of sleeplessness, this level of tension between my wife and
21:09 I, because anytime a kid, you know, is thrown into the equation because we were married
21:12 for I think 11 years before we had our first kid.
21:15 So there's all this tension and all this stuff that's that this kind of thrown into this
21:18 household.
21:19 We don't have family here.
21:20 We don't have help.
21:21 And it's just like, why would I want to come back to this?
21:25 Like in when I think back to really difficult times in my life, I'm glad I went through
21:29 them.
21:30 But I don't want to go back.
21:31 I want to move forward.
21:32 I great.
21:33 I got the lessons.
21:34 I don't want to go back.
21:35 So I keep the refrain from the song.
21:38 These are the days that will want back.
21:40 These are the days that will want back.
21:42 These are the days that will want back.
21:44 I'm trying to internalize that and I'm trying to believe it, frankly, because that is the
21:49 refrain that I get from most old fathers, you know, guys that, you know, have kids that
21:53 are about to go off to college or guys that are empty nesters now or whatever the situation
21:58 is, you get a lot of the same advice like man, just cherish these moments.
22:02 They go by so fast.
22:03 They grow up so fast.
22:04 You know, the days are long, but the years are short, like all those things, hey, make
22:07 sure you're still taking care of your wife and dating your wife because, you know, one
22:10 day when the house is empty and you realize, Oh, this isn't my wife.
22:13 This is my roommate.
22:14 All that stuff is very, very good.
22:16 So I wanted to share that song with you because for a guy like me, that that goes so fast
22:21 and is a hard charger and is trying to get so many things done.
22:24 This song has caused me to pause and not just to pause to listen to it because it sounds
22:28 good in my ear holes, but pause because it really has shifted my perspective.
22:33 So I just wanted to share that with you.
22:35 Hey guys, real quick.
22:36 I know that a lot of you in my audience lead very disciplined lives.
22:40 You crush your workouts.
22:41 You're getting your after it on the mats.
22:42 You're standing out at work.
22:44 Your family actually likes you.
22:45 You seem to have everything under control, but I've been a part of enough discussions
22:49 with men over the years to know without a doubt that many of you are dealing with unwanted
22:53 compulsive behaviors or addictions, whether it's pornography, drinking, smoking, using
22:58 illegal substances, gambling, lying, whatever, many of you have allowed yourselves to be
23:03 mastered by something that is stronger than your willpower.
23:07 If you don't get that in check, guys, it can have astonishingly negative consequences
23:11 for your marriage, your relationship with your children, your business, your job, your
23:15 church on and on and on.
23:17 I think you get the point.
23:18 That's why I want to introduce you to my friends at Relay.

24:02 Go to the link in the show notes, click that link in the show notes to get started.
24:06 All right, guys, let's hit the probably last quick hitters of 2023.
24:10 So let's get after it.
24:11 Here's the first one.
24:12 The Supreme Court of the United States rejecting Derek Chauvin's appeal.
24:14 So this is according to the Daily Wire, the US Supreme Court on Monday, this would have
24:18 been Monday of last week, declined to hear an appeal from former Minneapolis police officer
24:22 Derek Chauvin, who was found guilty in the contentious and highly publicized case concerning
24:27 the death of George Floyd, Chauvin was found guilty of second degree murder, third degree
24:31 murder and second degree manslaughter, and the former officer was sentenced to 20 years
24:36 behind bars in 2021.
24:38 The Supreme Court did not specify why it would not take up the case.
24:41 Notably, the High Court only hears about a hundred appeals of the 7,000 or so cases.
24:46 It's asked to review annually.
24:48 Attorney William Mormon or more gets more men to spell funny filed an appeal on behalf
24:54 of Chauvin arguing in part that his client was denied the right to a fair trial.
24:59 So with most of these big take or most of these quick hitters were just going to go right
25:03 to the big takeaway.
25:04 So my big takeaway on this is going to sound shocking to some of you if you haven't been
25:07 paying attention, but George Floyd died because of an overdose.
25:11 Derek Chauvin should be a free man and even here recently, like this morning, I was looking
25:16 at the news.
25:17 I'm recording this a few days before it comes out, Derek Chauvin was stabbed in prison.
25:21 This is the second incident that he's had in prison.
25:24 And every time something happens to Derek Chauvin, I think to myself, he shouldn't even be there.
25:28 Why in the world is he even there?
25:30 Because again, if you know anything about his case and we'll get more into it here in
25:33 a second, Derek Chauvin might be a bad person.
25:35 I don't know.
25:36 You might be a saint.
25:37 I have no idea.
25:38 I don't know the guy personally.
25:39 I don't know any stories about the guy personally.
25:40 But one thing I can tell you is that he's not a murderer.
25:43 I can certainly tell you that.
25:45 And the reason is is because of the Hennepin County Medical Examiner Office's autopsy report.
25:51 Okay.
25:52 So this is the official autopsy.
25:54 So I'll put in the show notes so you can go and check it out for yourself.
25:57 This isn't the, the, the attorney for the defense or not the defense, but this isn't
26:03 the attorney for, you know, George Floyd's family.
26:06 This isn't, you know, any of these racial grift people that are doing these, these autopsies
26:10 are, you know, they're basically following the ambulance with, with all their stuff like
26:13 that.
26:14 This isn't any of that.
26:15 This is the official medical examiner's report.
26:18 Now if Derek Chauvin choked George Floyd to death, which is what we're told happened, right?
26:25 And we should see in this autopsy that there are, there would be trauma to his neck and
26:30 throat area.
26:31 Now, I'm not going to read this entire thing, but I am going to go ahead and get to, get
26:36 to some of the stuff.
26:36 So the very first part of talks about blunt force injuries.
26:40 So it says that he had blunt force injuries to his forehead, his face and his upper lip.
26:45 And he had some, you know, some small injuries on his shoulders and his hands and his legs.
26:49 But if you remember, he was fighting with the police officers, right?
26:53 He was not wanting to go into the back of the police cruiser.
26:55 He had to be forcefully put on the ground.
26:57 So if that happens, yeah, you're going to get some, some problems, you know, you're
27:00 going to have some bruising on your wrist from the restraints, the handcuffs, all those
27:04 types of things.
27:05 But here's the natural diseases.
27:06 The guy had heart disease.
27:09 So keep that in mind.
27:10 He had hypertension.
27:12 So he had problems with his heart and he had a left pelvic tumor.
27:17 Okay.
27:18 So it was, it was incidental.
27:19 You know, there seemed as microscopic, but here's, here's where we really start getting
27:23 into it.
27:24 Right.
27:25 But just remember, he had heart problems.
27:26 In part three, it says that there are no life-threatening injuries identified.
27:32 That is the heading for part three of the autopsy report that alone should have been
27:38 enough to get that trial thrown out, right?
27:42 That enough.
27:43 Okay.
27:44 Because now we're going to go to three part eight.
27:45 There are no facial oral mucosal or conjunctival, uh, petechia, whatever that is, right?
27:50 So there were no, no injuries, uh, this is part B. I'll just keep reading.
27:54 No scalp or soft tissue injuries.
27:55 There were not any injuries to the muscles of the neck or the laryngeal structure.
28:00 So the larynx, there, there was no, no problems there.
28:03 There was no life-threatening injuries to the chest, to the ribs, to the vertebrae.
28:08 There were no incisions or issues with the neck or the shoulders or the butt or any of
28:13 those types of things.
28:15 No life-threatening injuries were found on the autopsy.
28:18 Again, that enough should show you that this should not, this should not have even been
28:24 a thing.
28:25 Okay.
28:26 But this is the big thing.
28:27 The toxicology report.
28:28 So we're skipping ahead to section six of this, the toxicology report.
28:32 So this is what was found whenever they drew blood from George Floyd after his death.
28:38 He had fentanyl in his system.
28:39 Okay.
28:40 He had not enough fentanyl in his system to kill him three times over.
28:44 He had three times the normal lethal dose of fentanyl in his system.
28:48 He also had no fentanyl in his system, methamphetamine, caffeine, which isn't really that big a
28:54 deal.
28:55 He also had marijuana in his system and alcohol and morphine, by the way.
29:03 He had a bunch of stuff in his system at that moment.
29:06 So if I were to give you a circumstance and not give you any of the names of the people
29:10 involved, not the place where it took place, not any of the circumstances for how it began,
29:15 the races of the people, anything.
29:16 And I said, okay, I'm going to describe what happened.
29:19 I'm going to describe an autopsy and you have to tell me whether you think they died because
29:23 they were choked to death, strangled to death, right?
29:26 Or they died because of overdose.
29:28 And I were to read to you and give you the evidence that I just gave you every single
29:32 person with a functioning brain on planet earth would say, well, this person clearly
29:35 overdosed, which is exactly what happened.
29:38 Now, you might think to yourself, yeah, okay, so he's, he had all the stuff in his system,
29:42 right?
29:43 I'll grant you that.
29:44 Yeah, he had all these, these heart diseases and all these other things.
29:46 Yes, he had all these, these problems, you know, from a life of drug abuse and bodily
29:50 abuse and not taking care of his health and all that, but he wouldn't have died unless
29:55 that police officer, like if that police officer just wouldn't have been on top of him and wouldn't
30:00 have held him down, then he wouldn't be dead.
30:02 Well, then you have to ask yourself, why was Derek Chauvin and the other police officers present
30:06 at that moment with George Floyd?
30:08 Because we're not going to unpack the entire case again, but you have to go all the way
30:11 back to the part where George Floyd, again, high on a bunch of drugs, goes into a store
30:17 and uses a false bill, right?
30:20 And he passes it off as a real bill.
30:23 He gets caught and then the people are like, look, man, you know, give us our product back.
30:27 Like you used fake money, like counterfeit money.
30:30 And so they call the police George Floyd broke the law and that is why he had to deal with
30:35 the police that day.
30:37 But just because he used a counterfeit bill doesn't, and people are like, counterfeit
30:40 bill doesn't mean you should get the death penalty.
30:41 Well, that's not what happened because the police showed up and George Floyd could have
30:46 been like, yeah, you're right.
30:47 Go ahead and take me to jail.
30:48 Like he was very familiar with jail because he was a very violent criminal, right?
30:52 So it wasn't business.
30:53 It's first time that he was in handcuffs, but the dude freaked out, started fighting with
30:56 the police who refused to get into the back of police car, demanded to be put on the ground.
31:01 Oh, I can't breathe.
31:02 I can't breathe.
31:03 I can't be restrained for his own good and for the good of the populace that was surrounding
31:07 that area because this is a large, violent criminal.
31:11 And how could the police have known like, what were they supposed to do?
31:14 Set up a tea party and just wait for the rest of the patty wagon to show like what exactly
31:19 was the point?
31:20 And so it is an unbelievable travesty and one of the biggest examples of injustice that
31:26 I've seen in the modern system because of course, Derek Chauvin did not get a fair trial.
31:32 Of course, he didn't.
31:33 Of course, he was he was basically lynched by these woke progressives in the state of
31:39 Minnesota.
31:40 There's nothing whatsoever that changes that.
31:43 Here's the other thing for any of you people that are like, but I watched the video, Kyle.
31:47 I saw that shin across his neck.
31:50 That's clearly what killed him.
31:51 Well, let me introduce you to something called jujitsu.
31:54 So I'm not a jujitsu master.
31:55 I'm not a professor, but I have been doing this for going on seven years.
31:59 I know a thing or two about what it takes to put someone unconscious.
32:02 I've never been on the receiving end of that because I'm going to tap, but I have been
32:06 on the giving end of that where I put people unconscious.
32:09 Do you know what it takes to choke someone unconscious?
32:11 Typically, you have to block both of the karate arteries on either side of the neck, which
32:16 is protected by musculature.
32:18 You have to cut that blood flow off to the brain.
32:22 And typically within five, six, seven seconds, somebody is completely out cold, especially
32:26 if they're breathing hard and blood's pumping, they're going to be out cold even faster.
32:30 Like if I were to walk up to you and you say, Hey, you can go ahead and choke me out, you
32:33 would be unconscious in less than 10 seconds, right?
32:36 After I were to sink in the choke or anyone that's trained to do it sinks in the choke,
32:40 you're going to be unconscious.
32:42 Now in order to kill you, I'm going to have to hold that for a lot longer because I need
32:46 to cut off the blood flow completely to your brain, basically to kill you, okay?
32:53 George Floyd, because what was he on the on the ground for for 15 minutes or something
32:56 like that before he basically died right there on video.
33:00 It doesn't take 15 minutes for somebody to be strangled to where they pass out.
33:06 He was conscious the entire time.
33:08 He was yelling.
33:09 He was hooting and holler and he was doing all kinds of different things.
33:11 And guys, if I were to bring you, if you were to come to me and I were to put you down on
33:15 the ground and I would to put my shin across the back of your neck and shoulder, which is
33:20 where this dude shin was, that's where chauvin shin was.
33:23 If I were to do that, I could leave it there for the weekend and you're not going to die.
33:28 It's going to be incredibly uncomfortable.
33:30 You're probably going to have to go to the chiropractor, probably going to have to get
33:32 a massage, probably going to have to, you know, take some pain pills, not fentanyl, but you're
33:35 probably going to need to take some pain pills, but you're not going to be dead.
33:38 Why?
33:39 Because I'm not blocking off your blood flow to your brain.
33:43 So you have all these people that don't understand chokes.
33:45 They don't understand human anatomy and they're like, Oh, well, Derek Chauvin killed George
33:49 Floyd.
33:50 He didn't.
33:51 It's a lie.
33:53 And I literally got a DM this morning from a guy that's like, wait a minute, you said
33:56 that George Floyd overdose.
33:57 I've never heard this.
33:58 Like what are you talking about?
34:00 But again, the lie goes around the world.
34:02 What's what's the quote?
34:03 The lie goes around the world twice before the truth has a chance to get his pants on.
34:06 That's basically what we're living in right now.
34:08 But it's an absolute travesty.
34:09 I have no idea why the Supreme Court didn't didn't pull this up.
34:12 Again, they have a lot of really important things that they have to deal with, but hopefully
34:15 somewhere down the road, Derek Chauvin can get another trial because again, it's an absolute
34:19 justice that he's in prison and everything happens.
34:21 That happens to him while he's in prison is the fault of the people of Minnesota.
34:26 Hey guys, real quick, as you may have heard me mentioned previously, before I started
34:29 this undaunted life thing full time, I worked in insurance and financial advisement.
34:34 Now while doing that, I got to sit down with literally hundreds of families to discuss
34:37 their financial plans and goals.
34:39 I got to see some families that had all their ducks in a row, but unfortunately, the overwhelming
34:43 majority of the people I sat down with had major holes in their financial plans.
34:48 So whether it was not diversifying their retirement investments, having no plan for replacement
34:52 income, if the breadwinner became too sick or too hurt to work, or even having a plan
34:56 for the death of a family member, most American families have left themselves very exposed
35:00 to potential financial ruin.
35:02 So that's why I want to introduce you to my friend and my financial advisor, Mike McCall
35:06 with Bluecrest Financial.
35:08 Now Mike can help you reach your chosen financial goals by helping you develop an overall plan
35:13 to ensure you and your family's financial success.
35:16 So whether it's IRAs or stocks or rollovers or life insurance or long term care, disability
35:21 income, you name it, Mike can help.
35:23 Now just imagine the peace of mind that comes with knowing that you're taking proactive
35:27 steps towards financial security for you and your loved ones.
35:30 Think about the legacy you could leave behind, something that truly reflects your conservative
35:35 values and the hard work you put in throughout your life.
35:37 So I trust Mike McCall with my financial planning.
35:40 So I think you should give him a shot as well.
35:42 So to receive your free personal and/or business financial assessment, go to the link in the
35:47 show notes for this episode to book a 15 minute zoom call with Mike.

35:59 All right, let's go to the next quick hitter here, pop star Britney Spears revealing that
36:04 she aborted the baby she conceived with Justin Timberlake.
36:06 So this is according to People Magazine, Britney Spears is sharing a painful experience.
36:11 She's kept private for 20 years in her upcoming memoir, which I think is out now the woman
36:15 and me the pop icon reveals that when she dated Justin Timberlake, she became pregnant
36:19 with his baby, but had an abortion people confirms.
36:23 It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn't a tragedy.
36:25 I love Justin so much.
36:27 I always expected us to have a family together one day.
36:30 This would just be much earlier than I'd anticipated Spears now 41 rights of the pregnancy
36:34 in the book, but Justin definitely wasn't happy about the pregnancy.
36:38 He said we weren't ready to have a baby in our lives and that we were way too young.
36:42 A rep for Timberlake did not immediately respond to people's requests for comment.
36:46 So up to this point, I don't know that Justin Timberlake has responded publicly.
36:49 I didn't find that, but I'm going to go to my big takeaway here.
36:53 This was obviously a tragic murder that took place, obviously, but don't be so naive as
36:59 to think that this is a rarity in the entertainment world.
37:02 So it might seem like a little bit of a shift, but a pop star getting an abortion is not a
37:08 rarity.
37:09 The public finding out about it is a rarity.
37:10 Now there are some pop stars or actresses or things like that that are shouting their
37:15 abortions.
37:16 They're very, very proud of it.
37:17 The year these people say, I wouldn't have been as successful as I was today had I not
37:20 murdered my child.
37:22 And then people on the left will just clap and oh my gosh, they're going to get a ride
37:25 up in the New York Times in the Washington Post and slate and it's just going to be the
37:28 greatest thing for them.
37:29 They'll actually be a boon for their career, but this has to happen constantly.
37:35 I remember years ago, after Tiger Woods won his first major after having not won one in
37:40 a long time and everyone's using the word redemption to describe what had happened and
37:44 I was very critical of the use of redemption and a lot of people that know I don't like
37:48 golf and know I don't give a crap about Tiger Woods are like, oh, you're just being a hater
37:51 and all that.
37:52 It's like, well, no, like he's not redeemed.
37:55 He won a golf tournament.
37:57 He got a silly trophy and a jacket.
37:59 Like, well, he's not redeemed.
38:01 Redemption is a theological term.
38:03 And he certainly is not been redeemed.
38:04 There's no evidence that he has repented for the things that led to his downfall to begin
38:09 with none whatsoever.
38:12 And another thing I can't remember if I brought it up then, but if I didn't, I should have,
38:16 but it's basically a guarantee that Tiger Woods, because the amount of, you know, what
38:21 that he was slinging during that time period that he got women pregnant, but we don't hear
38:25 anything about love children from Tiger Woods.
38:29 Why do you think that is?
38:30 Because Tiger Woods probably had the $500 to pay for that baby to be murdered by a paid
38:35 assassin and some money to give to the woman so that she never said a word about it.
38:41 And Tiger Woods, again, is not unique.
38:44 Again, I tell you all the time, don't worship at the altar of anybody.
38:47 Your favorite singer, your favorite artist, your favorite actor, your favorite athlete,
38:53 your favorite pastor, your favorite, anybody, because they will always let you down in the
38:57 level of depravity that is present in these people is astonishingly high.
39:03 And again, you have to go back to the Britney Spears situation.
39:05 She was 19.
39:06 She gets knocked up by a fellow pop star.
39:08 He's a child as well.
39:09 They don't want to have this kid and you have to think the management and the handlers for
39:15 Britney Spears at this time were all too excited to make sure that this problem, quote, unquote,
39:20 went away.
39:21 So he just killed the baby.
39:23 They snuffed out the life of a human being because it was going to be inconvenient for
39:27 record sales.
39:29 This happens all the time.
39:31 Some fortunate, but it's true.
39:32 All right.
39:33 Next quick, it are here.
39:34 The pro life movement suffering another terrible defeat this time in Ohio's.
39:38 This is according to the Guardian from November the 7th.
39:42 Ohio voters resoundingly voted to add abortion rights to their state constitution, a major
39:46 victory for abortion rights supporters in the only state where abortion is on the ballot
39:51 in November.
39:52 Issue one passed with more than 57% of the vote according to results shortly after the
39:56 outcome was declared.
39:58 Abortion access has been embattled in Ohio since the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade
40:02 last year, sending the issue back to the States and leading 16 states to ban nearly all abortions.
40:09 Ohio has a six week ban on the books, which briefly took effect until the court paused
40:13 it.
40:14 Tuesday's results should prevent it from being reinstated.
40:16 So let's go right to the big takeaway on this one.
40:19 This is so infuriating, but we got spend a little bit time here.
40:23 Conservatives and Republicans are taking the exact wrong takeaways in the wake of the state
40:29 defeats on the question of abortion in 2022 and 23.
40:34 They're taking the exact wrong stance and the exact wrong view from this.
40:38 So what conservatives and Republicans are signaling as their takeaway is man, we're really
40:43 getting pounded on this abortion issue.
40:45 Apparently the country is more pro choice than we thought we should moderate.
40:50 That's what they're saying.
40:51 That's what I keep hearing.
40:52 Keep hearing people talk about on podcasts on Twitter, but what conservatives and Republicans
40:57 should have as their takeaway is this man, we should have a better or actual strategy
41:03 on a state by states basis for the issue of life.
41:07 That's what they should be talking about because yes, Republicans in in states or I guess just
41:13 in general, states like Kansas, red states like Kansas or Ohio or things like that.
41:17 These things should not be being defeated, but the overall thing that conservatives and
41:22 Republicans are doing is they're like, Oh, I guess we need to moderate on this.
41:25 I guess we shouldn't be as fervently pro life as we convince everyone that we were before
41:29 the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
41:31 That's what they're saying.
41:32 And that's what they're signaling, which again is so unbelievably ridiculous.
41:36 Like, why would that be your takeaway?
41:41 Because it's like, Oh, yeah, you lost. Well, is there a problem with the strategy that
41:44 you approach because here's the one thing is progressives, woke people, Republicans, or
41:49 not Republicans, Democrats, people that just love killing babies.
41:53 It's like their favorite thing.
41:54 They're spending millions and millions and millions of dollars on all these state questions.
42:00 And they're lying to people and telling them, Oh, well, you know, if you don't vote this
42:04 way, then it means if, you know, someone in your life gets a tubal pregnancy, well, that's
42:08 basically the death penalty, they're not going to be able to get treatment for that, which
42:11 is a lie, which is an absolute lie.
42:13 But again, you put it in a 30 second sound bite on a commercial or on the radio or something
42:17 like that.
42:18 People will just believe it because we're stupid and we don't have time to check.
42:22 So I have a question to these squishy and supposedly pro life Republicans out there.
42:28 If you had the power to do so, would you go back in time and change the outcome of the
42:33 Dobbs decision, the decision that overturned Roe v Wade and Planned Parenthood v Casey,
42:39 would you undo that?
42:42 Because I remember saying this at the time and people disagreed with me and I've ended
42:45 up being right, but I'm sad about it.
42:48 I thought that there was going to be tremendous backlash at the ballot box because of the
42:52 overturning of Roe v Wade, not because Republicans were in Christians and conservatives were
42:57 excited about it.
42:58 That's not it.
42:59 I don't think that has anything to do without other people have reacted.
43:03 But I feel like now there are Republicans.
43:04 I wish that this didn't happen.
43:08 They wish the Dobbs decision didn't go that way because it's inconvenient for them in
43:12 their, you know, quest to keep power and again, elections have consequences.
43:17 I'm not saying these elections aren't important, but there is not an outcome that I can think
43:22 of where I would be like, you know what, let's go back to the Dobbs decision and let's flip
43:26 a flip a couple of those folks to where it's, you know, where it's not going to be overturned.
43:31 I can't think of one, but it did kind of show the plan or the, the pro life arm or the pro
43:38 life advocacy group, it showed them to have their pants down a little bit because they
43:42 didn't have plans in each state.
43:45 They weren't ready to go because here's the thing.
43:48 Most of America would be almost 100% pro life if they knew what an abortion actually was.
43:54 That's why whenever I go and do my speech about engaging pro abortion arguments, I spend some
43:58 time talking about the actual procedure or procedures.
44:03 There's lots of ways to kill a child in the womb.
44:06 But these people are like, I had no idea.
44:08 That's what happened.
44:09 Because again, we use this amorphous term abortion.
44:12 And then we don't think about, Oh, no, there's a baby that's fully intact inside that, you
44:16 know, can feel pain and has all of its organs and has its own DNA and has its own blood
44:19 and has its own fingerprints and all those different things.
44:22 And if just less to its own devices will, you know, be able to be welcomed into the world.
44:27 And, but we're going to shove a vacuum tube in there and start ripping them off and ripping,
44:31 you know, limbs off and things like that.
44:33 Or if they're too big, we're going to actually, you know, do a partial birth abortion where
44:36 we pull them out by their feet and then we cut the back of the neck with scissors, and
44:39 then we shove a suction tube into the back of the neck and then we suck the brains out
44:42 so that the skull will collapse and then we pull it out and just put it to the side, right?
44:45 We don't really like talking about that, but if people knew that that's what was happening
44:50 during these procedures, they would be pro life.
44:53 And a lot of progress or a lot of conservatives rather in Republicans, they're being very
44:59 apologetic about their pro life stance right now.
45:02 Oh, I'm so sorry.
45:03 And, you know, they're trying to seem moderate, right?
45:06 But a great example of an unapologetically pro life leader of a country is Argentina's
45:11 newly elected president Javier Malay, I think is how you say his last name, but you know,
45:15 president Javier from Argentina.
45:17 Again, if you guys have been on the internet at all here recently, you've seen clips of
45:21 this guy, the guys, you know, he's crazy, like crazy in a good way and maybe crazy in
45:25 some bad ways.
45:26 But I want to read this quote to you guys about his stance on abortion.
45:30 Here's a quote.
45:32 When you construct on the basis of an incorrect moral principle, the result is filth.
45:37 How can being able to kill other human beings be a right gained as a liberal?
45:42 I believe in the unrestricted right to life based on the defense of life, liberty and property.
45:47 I defend life, biology says that life begins with conception.
45:53 This is, I think Argentina was under a progressive rule for like 30 or 40 years and they just
45:58 flipped to this guy who's seen as basically the first libertarian, even though no one
46:05 can truly define libertarianism.
46:07 He's like the first libertarian leader of a country and he's trying to turn Argentina
46:13 around and, you know, we'll see he's been the president for basically five minutes.
46:16 But, you know, this is a guy that is unapologetically pro life and he won an astounding astoundingly
46:21 wide victory.
46:23 But I do want to give you some quick tips here before we move on to the next quick hitter.
46:26 So here are some quick tips on the whole pro life thing.
46:28 Number one, stop arguing against abortion from a defensive position.
46:34 This is the biggest mistake that I see Christians, conservatives and pro lifers make when it
46:38 comes to the issue of life is they're always on their heels.
46:41 And again, if you're on your heels, just think about this in a striking context.
46:45 If you're always throwing punches going backwards, yeah, you might get lucky and knock somebody
46:48 out, but it's a lot different force than if you can step into it, turn everything over
46:52 and turn your hip into it and actually make the strike happen.
46:56 But this is what people are doing.
46:57 These are people that are on the right side of the moral issue.
47:01 Pro lifers are on the correct side of the moral issue, but they're always allowing the
47:06 other side to get the upper hand.
47:08 That's why, again, when I do my presentation live on how to engage these top abortion,
47:13 pro abortion arguments, these are questions.
47:15 I'm giving you questions to ask to go on the offensive because this defensive position
47:20 thing is just not working for the pro life cause.
47:23 The second quick tip is this, don't fall for the moderation trap or the quote unquote
47:29 third way approach on this issue.
47:31 Don't fall for it because a lot of people are just like, Oh, well, you know what, we're
47:34 just going to moderate on this issue.
47:36 We will just say that's maybe not alive here and that it is a life there, you know, maybe
47:40 there's there's got to be a third way approach that there's the crazy pro life people and
47:43 the crazy pro abortion people, there's got to be somewhere in the middle to which I would
47:47 ask these people, what is the moderate position on abortion?
47:51 Cause some people will say, Oh, moderate meaning like a 12 week ban or a 15 week ban or something
47:56 like that.
47:57 No, no, no on the issue of life and the protection of innocent human life.
48:02 What is the moderate position?
48:05 Cause that is either a living, unique human being worthy of our protection as a society
48:10 or it's not it is either that or it is a meaningless clump of cells.
48:15 Now you can make your arguments for both sides of that issue, but you both can't be right.
48:19 It's not a meaningless clump of cells and a worthy human of protection.
48:23 Right.
48:24 It can't be both things.
48:25 So don't don't fall for this for this idea of moderation.
48:28 Now don't hear what I'm not saying.
48:30 I am all for any law that leads to the protection of more human life because there are some
48:36 people abolitionists that will not support any law aside from a full criminalization and
48:42 complete bland ban of abortion, which I agree with in principle, but in practice, it doesn't
48:48 work out that way because it's very easy for me as a podcaster to be a purist and I'm
48:54 going to be very, very pure and here, here are my stances on issues and I'm not going
48:58 to bend at all.
48:59 But if I were a legislator, you can't really be a purist.
49:03 You know, purity works well on Twitter.
49:06 Works great when you're selling t-shirts or at a rally, but when it comes to actually
49:09 getting things done, I'm going to do whatever I can to save as many babies as I can.
49:15 And the last thing here is just study my white paper.
49:17 So there's a white paper on my website.
49:19 It's called how to engage the top 18 pro abortion arguments.
49:22 It's free.
49:23 It's right there on our website.
49:24 I'll put the link in the show notes.
49:25 Guys, if you've not downloaded that yet, it is basically like a crash course on again,
49:30 the top 18 pro abortion arguments, I'm at least going to get you through your next,
49:33 you know, family dinner where you're arguing with your crazy cousin who thinks that we
49:37 should just slaughter babies because of, you know, whatever reason.
49:39 So make sure that you study that.

50:10 Quick drink of water.
50:11 Next quick hitter here, new national poll suggesting that Donald Trump will beat Joe Biden in
50:16 the 2024 general election.
50:18 So this is according to the Hill, former President Trump widened his lead against President Biden
50:22 to four points in a hypothetical 2024 presidential matchup, according to a new poll.
50:27 The Emerson College polling survey released on Wednesday.
50:30 This was a couple of Wednesdays ago shows Trump holding on to his 47% support while Biden
50:35 fell from 45% to 43%, about 10% of voters in the poll were undecided.
50:40 So here's my big takeaway on this one.
50:42 If you believe that these polls are legit or that they will hold up until election time,
50:47 you're a fool.
50:49 I'm sorry.
50:50 You're just a fool.
50:51 You're foolish to think that because if you believe in these polls, it's because of
50:56 a couple of things.
50:57 For one, you're not paying attention or number two, you really, really, really want them
51:00 to be true.
51:02 And here's the thing in a hypothetical matchup between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, I absolutely
51:07 want Donald Trump to win.
51:08 Of course I do.
51:10 The country has been in a much worse place on the national and international stage since
51:15 the moment Joe Biden took over and everyone with the functioning brain knew that that
51:18 was going to be the case if he won the presidency.
51:21 But again, the thing that I think is so funny about this is that poll is reflecting the
51:26 national mood.
51:29 But if you know anything about elections at all, general elections that is national polls
51:33 don't matter.
51:35 They literally do not matter.
51:37 State polls do like to keep your eye on the ball here.
51:40 Like don't get distracted because this election comes down to like a handful of states, Georgia,
51:46 Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Arizona, Nevada.
51:51 Like those are the states that this comes down to now.
51:55 I will say that when you look at those staples, some of you Trump people, I can hear you right
51:59 now screaming in my inbox, but Trump is showing leads in those states as well.
52:04 But again, we're, we're a year away.
52:07 We're a year away from this.
52:09 And this is the part of the game that the mainstream media and the Democrats, but I repeat myself,
52:14 are playing right now.
52:16 They're starting the process of scaring people away from Trump, right?
52:21 So a lot of this is baked in at this point, right?
52:23 There's not a whole lot of people that are undecided on Trump.
52:25 There might be like 14 people in America that are undecided on Trump, whether they like
52:29 him or they don't like him.
52:30 And Trump, he either has like fans or he has people that hate him.
52:35 There's not a whole lot of people in the middle that are just like mildly supportive of the
52:38 guy.
52:39 Like I'm mildly supportive of the guy, especially if he's going up against another Democrat.
52:44 But the whole thing that we're about to see once we come out of the, you know, November,
52:50 December time, and we get into the last stretches of the actual campaign next year is that you
52:55 shouldn't forget the wisdom that if you make the election about the other guy, you will
52:59 likely win.
53:01 And in, in reality, what we're seeing in these polls right now is all the focus is on Biden.
53:07 Because Biden, you know, he can't talk.
53:09 He can't walk.
53:10 He can't think the, the economy's bad.
53:13 People are looking out their bank accounts.
53:14 They don't like it.
53:15 They're looking at their retirement accounts.
53:16 They don't like it.
53:17 They're looking to buy a house and they don't like it.
53:19 And they're seeing, you know, binomics in practice in their everyday life and they don't
53:22 like it.
53:24 But in 2024, the entirety of everyone's focus will be, it won't be on Joe Biden's age or
53:31 mental state.
53:32 It won't be on Hunter Biden.
53:34 It's going to be on big, bad, scary, mean, orange, tyrant Trump.
53:38 That's what's going to happen because there are four trials that are going to be happening.
53:43 Some of them in 2024, and that'll be wall to wall coverage.
53:47 No one's going to be talking about Biden.
53:48 We're going to see discussion of January 6th.
53:52 That's going to come up.
53:53 You're going to see January six videos and pictures all over the place.
53:58 And it's not going to be the new stuff that kind of shows a different light of what was
54:01 happening that day.
54:02 It's going to be on the stuff that everyone already believes, which is that Donald Trump
54:06 led a supposed insurrection.
54:09 That's what you're going to see.
54:11 And I'm going to go ahead and predict this now.
54:13 I'm going to go ahead and guarantee that there will be race riots in 2024 at some point.
54:18 There will certainly be race riots.
54:20 Something is going to happen because again, every year, there's about a dozen unarmed
54:23 black men, not thousands, which is what idiots think.
54:26 There's about a dozen or so unarmed black men that are killed by police.
54:30 Now in almost all those circumstances, that person was previously armed, or they're trying
54:36 to use their car to kill somebody or something like that.
54:38 But there will be a video that comes out of an unarmed black man that's killed by white
54:41 police officers and the country will burn.
54:45 There will be some circumstance or derivative of that that is going to happen.
54:49 And all that is to the redounding benefit of Joe Biden.
54:52 That's why I've said over and over and over that if you really care not about the acts
54:57 to grind that Donald Trump has about not getting his second term and, you know, potentially
55:01 or supposedly have the election stolen from him, even though he didn't prove that in court
55:05 or didn't even alleged that in court.
55:07 If you really care about Joe Biden getting out of the White House, you wouldn't be supporting
55:10 Donald Trump right now.
55:13 Because again, you have to look forward to 2024 if Nikki Haley were the nominee, she's
55:17 not on trial.
55:19 She didn't.
55:20 People don't believe that she led an insurrection.
55:23 If Ron DeSantis, who I'm supporting and who I will vote for here in the state of Oklahoma
55:27 in the in the Republican primary, like if he's up, again, he's not going to blow you away
55:33 with how, you know, lovely his languages and all those different things.
55:38 But he's a guy that gets things done.
55:40 I think he smashed his Joe Biden to pieces because those types of candidates, the Nikki
55:45 Haley's of the world and the Ron DeSantis's of the world, they can put the focus back
55:49 on Joe Biden be like, man, America really sucks right now and it's your fault, Joe Biden.
55:54 But if it's Donald Trump, it's going to be like, I'm amazing.
55:56 And they still the election and it's like, it's not going to work out.
56:01 So again, I hope I'm wrong.
56:03 I hope that I am super duper wrong.
56:05 I just don't think that I am.
56:06 I think that Donald Trump will be the main focus going into next year.
56:10 He has done nothing to prove to me that he can control himself and that he can do anything
56:14 to sway independence to his side again in 2016, two to one independence broke for Donald
56:21 Trump in 2022 to one independence broke for Joe Biden.
56:26 And there's no margin for error for a guy like Donald Trump.
56:29 Yes, people are going to be as excited to vote as they were last time around because
56:32 of everything that was going on in 2020.
56:35 But still, I don't see how the math breaks where Donald Trump wins.
56:38 That's unfortunate, but that's where we are right now.
56:40 All right.
56:41 Next quick hitter here, a Georgia high school football coach being fired after setting up
56:44 a baptism event for his players.
56:46 So this is according to Newsweek, a high school football coach in Georgia was terminated after
56:50 a mass baptism for some players on the team sparked outrage.
56:53 A video posted on the Tanol County high school football team's Facebook page last month showed
56:59 several students being baptized by the local pastor.
57:02 The baptism was organized by the team's head coach, Isaac Farrell.
57:06 This month, the Tanton all Tanton all sorry, no, no, Tanton all doesn't matter.
57:10 Country School District Superintendent Kristin Waters announced that Farrell was terminated
57:14 from his coaching position, but will remain a teacher at the school.
57:18 The safety and security of our students is paramount to Tanton all county board of education
57:22 water said in a statement sent to WSAV TV in Georgia.
57:27 Based on the outcome of an investigation into an incident that occurred Friday night, November
57:30 the 3rd, while traveling after the football game, the district decided that it would seek
57:34 a head coach that aligned with the best entrance of the students of Tanton all county for the
57:39 2024 2025 school year.
57:42 As to any other allegations, the district does not comment during ongoing investigations.
57:47 Big takeaway on this one, get ready for lawsuits of plenty.
57:51 I mean, just go back to that ridiculous quote, like that they want to have a football coach
57:56 that is aligned with the best interest of the students of the county, really.
58:02 So you would think he got a bunch of cocaine, cut it up on the table, made a bunch of lines
58:07 and had his football players do it.
58:09 He took them all to a titty bar.
58:11 He like, that's what you would think would have happened, but no, they just got a local
58:15 pastor and they baptized some kids in a pool looked like it was at a hotel room or a hotel
58:20 or something like that hotel pool.
58:22 That's what we're talking about because that this is going to be one of those situations
58:26 you will hear about the story again.
58:27 You will hear about this news story.
58:28 It'll likely go to the Supreme Court because this district again, this is in Georgia, right?
58:34 This is presumably in a red state, even though they've got a, you know, a couple of blue
58:39 senators because of Donald Trump and his inability to, you know, look at anybody but
58:44 himself, but we'll digress from there.
58:46 This is a crazy situation.
58:48 As soon as I started looking into the situation, I was thinking to myself, there had to be
58:51 something else.
58:52 Like this can't just be the headline from, you know, Christianity today or something like
58:55 that.
58:56 Like there had to be another reason why the guy got fired, had the team not won a game
58:59 in, you know, three years, like, well, what else happened?
59:01 But it seemed like this guy was well liked, seemed like he was a good coach and all he
59:06 did was set up an event where his players could be baptized if they so chose.
59:10 It wasn't like, okay, guys, you know, we're going to get in the line, we're all going
59:12 to get baptized.
59:13 That's, that wasn't what happened here at all.
59:15 But a lot of anti-religion people just started to freak out and all these people that agree
59:21 with them, so these, these woke leftist people that run these school boards, these superintendents,
59:26 we're all but willing to, to, you know, bow the knee to these people.
59:29 And again, guys, this is just another example of, do you see things like this happening in
59:33 private Christian school?
59:34 Right?
59:35 It certainly doesn't happen in homeschool because you don't have the same circumstances.
59:38 But that's why I talk about all the time, vetted private Christian school and homeschool.
59:42 Those are fast becoming the only two options.
59:44 Like maybe there are some other types of schools.
59:47 I can't think of the name of them right now, but there's other types of schools that can
59:49 come up and do those types of things.
59:51 But like as of right now, those are your two options.
59:54 Because imagine having a great Christian man coaching your boy, you know, playing football
59:59 or something like that.
1:00:00 And then they take him out.
1:00:01 And who are they going to go and find now?
1:00:03 Because again, they, they said that they wanted to find a football coach that aligned
1:00:06 with the best interests of the students.
1:00:07 Like, like, what do you mean, is you're going to take them to Planned Parenthood and let
1:00:10 them volunteer?
1:00:11 Is that the coach that you're looking for?
1:00:12 Are you going to take them to the next Black Lives Matter, right?
1:00:15 And give every one of them a brick and tell them, all right, everybody find a window, find
1:00:18 a police officer, right?
1:00:20 And so again, I just want to read the scripture here because there will be lawsuits.
1:00:24 This is ridiculous.
1:00:25 This is an unjust thing, but Matthew five, 10 through 12.
1:00:28 These are the words of Jesus, blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake
1:00:32 for theirs is a kingdom of heaven.
1:00:34 Blessed are you when they were vile and persecute you and say all kinds of evil against you
1:00:38 falsely for my sake, rejoice and be exceedingly glad for great is your reward in heaven.
1:00:43 For so they persecuted the prophets who were before you, who were before you.
1:00:47 So that's the thing guys, is this is going to happen.
1:00:50 I feel bad for this guy.
1:00:51 He shouldn't have lost his job.
1:00:52 It is unjust, but you're not guaranteed an easy life as a Christian here.
1:00:57 Here in this world, here in this country, it's going to progressively get worse.
1:01:00 The more post Christian we become, but that's just the world we're living in fellows.
1:01:04 You're ready for it.
1:01:05 Our next quick hitter here, the pope opening the door to blessing same sex couples by the
1:01:10 Catholic church.
1:01:11 So one quick thing before I read this, this little new snippet, I did also see that the
1:01:15 pope after all this went down had like a luncheon with a bunch of trannies at the Vatican.
1:01:22 Right.
1:01:23 So Pope Francis is a leftist.
1:01:24 He's a wild progressive leftist.
1:01:26 We know that from the very, from very beginning, yes, there are issues with Catholicism, but
1:01:29 this guy, I don't even know that he's Catholic, like a lot of Catholics aren't even Christians,
1:01:33 but I like this guy isn't even Catholic, I think, but this is according to CBS news.
1:01:38 This is from October the 21st, the biggest bombshell from the 2023 general assembly of
1:01:43 the cenode of bishops at the Vatican dropped on October the 4th when Francis opened the
1:01:47 door for the possibility of Catholic priests blessing same sex unions.
1:01:52 His remarks published Monday came with caveats, Francis stressed that blessings shouldn't be
1:01:56 seen as elevating same sex unions to the sacred place of heterosexual marriage, but until
1:02:01 now the church's position has been that same sex unions could not be blessed because God
1:02:06 cannot bless sin.
1:02:08 So here's a big takeaway.
1:02:09 We will without a doubt see the Catholic church start to bless same sex marriages in our lifetime.
1:02:18 So what we're talking about right now is Francis and other Catholic bishops and whatever their
1:02:24 hierarchical structure is that they're going to have the church, the Catholic church bless
1:02:27 same sex unions.
1:02:29 Seems like we're pretty close to that, but we will in our lifetime see them blessing same
1:02:35 sex marriages.
1:02:36 We will see same sex couples getting married in Catholic churches with the blessing of
1:02:41 the progressive pope that is alive at that time.
1:02:44 And the thing about it is Pope Francis may not be the guy to get this done, but he is
1:02:48 actively and intentionally trailblazing the path for the guy that will allow for it.
1:02:53 That's going to happen.
1:02:54 The odds of the Catholics picking, because again, if you believe this nonsense that the
1:02:58 pope is like a direct line from Peter and they never made a mistake and the pope was
1:03:02 always the guy that God wanted in office, you're, you're, you're fooling yourself.
1:03:06 That's crazy.
1:03:07 But the people that these men, these corrupt men at the top of the Catholic church are going
1:03:12 to pick to be the next pope after Francis is only going to continue this.
1:03:15 The odds of them selecting a super conservative after Pope Francis is incredibly small.
1:03:22 I hope that that happens, but it's incredibly, incredibly small.
1:03:25 And so just don't be shocked when you see a very quickly, because again, Francis, he's
1:03:31 kind of like Andy Stanley in a way, like he says one thing with his mouth, but then his
1:03:34 actions perform another thing.
1:03:36 Now Francis is not the master communicator that Andy Stanley is certainly not in the
1:03:40 English language, because that's not his first language.
1:03:42 But he's signaling these things like, Oh, God cannot bless sin.
1:03:44 But then he's opening the door to the, to the blessing of same sex unions, which implies
1:03:50 that they're same sex, sex happening, which is sinful and an abomination.
1:03:55 And he's signaling that.
1:03:57 Why is he having lunch with a bunch of transgender's are, you know, a bunch of men dressed up
1:04:01 as women at the Vatican?
1:04:04 He wasn't sharing Christ with them, right?
1:04:06 He just wanted to be seen in the pictures with them.
1:04:08 He wanted to be seen as the progressive pope.
1:04:10 So it's only going to get worse with Francis and then whoever the heck the guy is right
1:04:13 after that.
1:04:14 Our next quick hitter here is real agreeing to a temporary ceasefire in order to reacquire
1:04:19 50 Israeli hostages.
1:04:20 So this is according to the Guardian.
1:04:22 This is a little bit old news, because this has kind of been, you know, a little bit touch
1:04:25 and go, you know, the numbers are a little bit out of whack here.
1:04:28 But I just want to talk about the overall concept.
1:04:30 Israel and Hamas have agreed to a deal to release 50 women and children, hostages held
1:04:34 in Gaza in return for 150 Palestinian women and children to be freed from Israeli jails
1:04:39 during a four day ceasefire.
1:04:41 Both sides announced on Wednesday, the 22nd.
1:04:43 The deal was confirmed by a US Senator or a senior US official who told reporter told reporters
1:04:48 that the freed hostages would include three Americans, one of them, a three year old girl.
1:04:52 The official said that the first hostage release is expected on Thursday.
1:04:56 That was Thanksgiving morning and a total number of hostages freed could rise.
1:04:59 So here's the thing with the with the story.
1:05:02 As of this morning, I'm recording this on the 25th, I don't think any of the Americans
1:05:07 have been released.
1:05:09 It wasn't 50 hostages that were released.
1:05:11 I think they were only women and children.
1:05:13 There weren't 150 that were returned again.
1:05:15 The numbers are up in the air.
1:05:16 There's kind of a progressive thing, you know, with the ceasefire and all that.
1:05:19 So it's not been completely found out right now.
1:05:22 But my big takeaway on this one is this is a great thing that some of these people are
1:05:26 going back.
1:05:28 It's a victory for Israel to be sure, but they still have to move forward with destroying
1:05:32 Hamas entirely that that's the only option here, like even if without any trade, even
1:05:39 if Hamas just returned all the hostages today and didn't even get their people back, you
1:05:44 still have to destroy them.
1:05:46 And here's the thing is destroying them is going to be difficult because some of the
1:05:48 people that we did see that were returned to Hamas, these people immediately were like
1:05:55 praising what happened on October the 7th.
1:05:59 They were praising the men that were killed afterwards, right?
1:06:03 They were praising them as martyrs and victors.
1:06:06 And that's just what these people are.
1:06:07 They're waving flags of terrorism right after their freed.
1:06:12 And so that's when it talks about whenever I talked about in my episode, where I really
1:06:15 broke broke into this.
1:06:16 What is the difference between a Palestinian and Hamas fighter?
1:06:20 And some instances, it's only the AK in one of their hands.
1:06:23 The ideology is the same.
1:06:25 The majority of the people in Palestine agree with what happened on October the 7th.
1:06:29 They think it was a good, righteous thing, the raping and murdering of 1200 people, right?
1:06:36 And again, at the time we were saying 1400 1500, but it took the country of Israel a while
1:06:41 to get the actual numbers because some of the bodies were so unbelievably mutilated from
1:06:45 being blown up by grenades, being burned alive, being cut up and sawed into pieces that it
1:06:51 took them a while to get the right number of people that were murdered mercilessly by
1:06:55 these Hamas Islamic fundamentalist thug pieces of garbage.
1:07:01 And so as I told people on this show, as I told people on my Sunday school, as I tell
1:07:06 anyone that I talked to about the situation, but the reason why I talk about the instances
1:07:10 of brutality that happened on that day as often as I do is because people were going to immediately
1:07:15 forget.
1:07:16 And this happened way faster than I thought it would, but people started immediately forgetting
1:07:19 what happened.
1:07:20 And then they're calling for a ceasefire.
1:07:22 Oh, we need a ceasefire.
1:07:23 We need peace.
1:07:24 We need all these things.
1:07:25 What needs to happen is a mosque needs to be destroyed completely.
1:07:29 The entire leadership structure, all of the infrastructure that actually is going on there.
1:07:34 And then you need generations of control over those people to wait for that ideology to
1:07:40 get out.
1:07:41 But the unfortunate part is, is if these people go back to the Holy Quran, their holy book
1:07:45 and they read things like the ninth surah, they're going to always pick up the thread
1:07:50 that they need to perform jihad, that they need to kill Jews.
1:07:54 They need to kill Americans.
1:07:56 That's what they're going to get.
1:07:58 And so again, this is a great thing.
1:07:59 I don't want to like belittle the fact that we got some of these women and children back,
1:08:03 but there are still people.
1:08:05 There are still Americans being held in horrible conditions in Gaza.
1:08:10 And who knows what's going to happen to them, but I hope we get them all back alive.
1:08:13 But even if we do, Hamas has to be completely destroyed.
1:08:16 All right.
1:08:17 Last one here.
1:08:18 American farmers going over to Israel to take care of Israeli farmland while farmers
1:08:22 are fighting Hamas.
1:08:23 So this is according to the Western journal with their cowboy boots planted firmly in
1:08:27 the soil, the Holy land, a group of American cowboys arrived to help Israel in the best
1:08:31 way they knew how.
1:08:33 I love the Jewish people.
1:08:34 And I believe that this is their God given land Ezekiel strain said as he stood in the
1:08:38 West Bank field where he and his fellow cowboys had been helping with the harvest according
1:08:42 to the website C tech.
1:08:44 I wanted to help out wherever I could.
1:08:46 They're a small country and they need the help.
1:08:48 We should help them.
1:08:49 He said, my heart breaks for Israel.
1:08:51 I want to show my support and show we care about you guys and care about the things you
1:08:55 care about.
1:08:56 We are four piece strain said.
1:08:58 He is among cowboys from Arkansas and Montana who responded to the need for men to take up
1:09:02 the chores that were dropped after Hamas slaughter 1200 people on October the 7th and the Israeli
1:09:07 defense forces called up thousands for its war against Moss.
1:09:11 So absolutely love this story is a tremendous story of just gratitude and thanksgiving and
1:09:18 a disability to to work for other people and to help them out whenever it costs you.
1:09:23 But here's my big takeaway on this one, mama's.
1:09:26 I guess it's okay for your babies to grow up to be cowboys.
1:09:29 All right, guys, for let you go.
