0:24 I'm your host Kyle Thompson, let's get into it.
0:27 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the Lord.
0:29 You're the womb, a reward that is Psalm 127 verse 3.
0:33 Guys, thank you so much for listening to the podcast today.
0:35 As always, we are so super duper thankful to our donors.
0:38 Guys, we can't pull off anything that we do at Undaunted Life without donors like you.
0:41 We don't have like magical donors behind the scenes giving us hundreds of thousands of dollars.
0:44 It's guys giving us 25 bucks a month, 50 bucks a month, 100 bucks a month.
0:48 We can't do it without you.
0:49 Undaunted.life/donor.
0:51 I think that's what it is.
0:53 Wait, I just forgot my own donation link.
0:55 Hang on.
0:56 Undaunted.life/donate.
0:58 There it is.
0:59 My goodness, if this is my stream of consciousness right now, this is going to be a problem because
1:03 we got a lot of quick hitters to get today.
1:05 Undaunted.life/donate, but here we got a lot of quick hitters that we need to get to today.
1:09 So I'm going to be talking about the Trump White House's presidential message on Holy Week,
1:13 50 plus Nigerian Christians being slaughtered by Muslim fundamentalist on Palm Sunday, a state
1:18 in Australia criminalizing prayer, the debate between Douglas Murray and Dave Stewart on
1:22 the Joe Rogan experience, a black teenager stabbing a white teenager to death at a high
1:26 school track meet in Texas, a proposed California ballot measure named in honor of an alleged
1:31 murderer, Luigi Mangione, a proposed Colorado House bill that would categorize misgendering
1:36 and deadnaming as child abuse, a proposed Oklahoma House bill that would allow for the
1:41 chemical castration of child sex offenders, a pit bull mauling a seven month old baby
1:45 girl to death in Ohio, scientists claiming they have resurrected the extinct dire wolf,
1:50 the UK Supreme Court ruling that trans women are not actually women, surprise, surprise,
1:54 FBI senior leadership using an internal gag order to cover up the 100 buy and laptop story,
1:59 and then also if you stick with us all the way to the end, which I highly suggest you
2:02 do so, some of the best you get to advice you could ever get.
2:05 Now I don't know if you could actually see what's on the side of my camera here.
2:07 This is not like an incense.
2:08 I've got like a, what is that thing?
2:10 It's like puts, you know, water into the air, man, words are not really my friend today,
2:14 but that's like a thing.
2:15 That's like putting water into the air that's going to help me with my voice.
2:18 So if you see like mist coming from this side, no, it's not an incense.
2:21 No, I'm not going to be hooking my ponytail to a tree anytime soon.
2:24 It's just to help with the old vocal courts, but guys, before we get to the main crux of
2:27 what I want to talk about on today's episode, which is a very serious subject matter, actually,
2:30 I'm going to turn this thing a little bit, a little bit of intense, we're all over the
2:34 place to start here.
2:35 But obviously recently I talked about Andy Stanley's church, North Point Ministries, and
2:40 we, we talked about that video that was released that showed a training that they were doing
2:45 for their children's workers to give them LGBTQ plus training, showing that they're basically
2:50 trans affirming at that church, and a few days after that episode came out, I got an email
2:54 from a former North, North pointer.
2:58 And this someone who attended Andy Stanley's church, they were very involved.
3:01 The family was very involved.
3:02 Obviously I'm not going to say their name here, but I just want to read to you this email
3:06 because this is from somebody that actually experienced things on the ground there.
3:10 So let me go to the email here.
3:12 I've been listening to your podcast for many years, and it's been a huge help in my journey
3:15 to become a better Christian man.
3:17 With that being said, I've been taking this journey while attending a North Point ministry.
3:21 I will always appreciate the ministry for being a place that the unchurch can go and
3:25 find a relationship with Jesus.
3:26 As I grew in my faith, I started to see that Andy Stanley was pulling away from the biblical
3:30 teachings he wants to champion.
3:32 When my daughter entered middle school, I thought it was a great idea to serve as a transit
3:35 leader for a boy's small group, so I could be close to my daughter and her faith journey.
3:40 In the six years that I've served, I've seen the curriculum shift further and further
3:43 to the left, and I've watched fellow leaders have leave because of it.
3:48 Right now, they are struggling to keep volunteers because of the epic shift towards glorifying
3:52 sin.
3:53 My daughter was a victim of these teachings as she was having issues that every teenage
3:56 girl has where she wasn't feeling comfortable in her own skin.
4:00 Instead of these leaders taking her through it and letting her know that it's normal and
4:03 letting me know that there was an issue, they convinced her that she was trans, and then
4:08 they kept it from me and my wife.
4:12 Thank God that my wife randomly checked her cell phone and saw that that's what was going
4:16 on.
4:17 We worked really hard to bring her back to normalcy and she has had herself and she has
4:23 said herself that it was handled completely incorrectly.
4:26 At one time, we were taught that if kids were having these thoughts, we should talk to them
4:30 and walk them through biblical teachings to show them that they are fearfully and wonderfully
4:34 made and that what they are feeling is a normal feeling for kids going through puberty.
4:38 The last year has been a nightmare at my church.
4:41 The Bible believing volunteers are being pushed out and made to feel like they are
4:44 wrong and hateful bigots.
4:46 I think God, I thank God that we have found a Bible teaching local church that actually
4:51 planted, but that was actually planted by other North Point refugees.
4:55 Andy is making a huge push this year to build more and more churches and has stopped teaching
5:00 the gospel.
5:01 Thank you for everything you do.
5:02 It has been a huge help for me over the last few years.
5:04 So guys, I maintain exactly what I said and some of you were not exactly happy with how
5:08 I couched it.
5:09 But if Andy Stanley is exactly what I say, he is, which is a hair tick, a false teacher,
5:13 a wolf and sheep's clothing, it is very likely that he's not a Christian.
5:17 And people are like, how could you possibly say that?
5:19 To put a finer point on what I said, you know, a couple of weeks ago, a few weeks ago, Andy
5:24 Stanley is a master communicator.
5:26 He is a absolute master, okay.
5:30 And so if he were a sales guru, he would be going around selling sales books and sales
5:36 courses and all that and he would absolutely crush it.
5:38 If he was a leadership and management guru, he would have best selling books and would
5:42 go around and he would get paid tons of money to consult for huge, you know, fortune 100
5:46 companies, those types of things.
5:49 But his father is Charles Stanley.
5:51 So his first big break as a career was running part of Charles Stanley's ministry.
5:55 I think he was the youth leader right under Charles Stanley, right?
5:58 So that became his platform.
6:01 So if his dad was an executive at Ford Motor Company, it would have been very, very different.
6:04 He would have been more of like a boardroom type guy, but he wasn't.
6:07 He was a, you know, Christian teaching type guy.
6:10 And so when you're around Christianity for as long as you are, you get very familiar
6:13 with the Bible.
6:14 You get very familiar without a communicate the Bible, but as many people have said and
6:17 maintained and is true, there's going to be a bunch of pastors that are in hell because
6:22 they taught people the Bible.
6:24 They showed people things.
6:25 They've even exegated the scriptures correctly, but they didn't have a propitiation of their
6:30 personal sin debt by putting their faith in Jesus Christ for that, right?
6:34 So I think it's, it's, I don't know if I want to say likely.
6:37 It's certainly possible that Andy Stanley is not even a Christian.
6:39 So we should pray for a salvation.
6:41 But if he doesn't come, like come to faith, we will, we certainly believe that he should
6:46 repent and come to faith, but he should repent of what he's doing with his church and his
6:49 ministry and with his flock.
6:51 And if he doesn't become a Christian and repent of that, then he should lose his ministry.
6:55 And we should absolutely pray for that.
6:56 So I just want to give you an update there, but we want to get into a subject matter today,
7:00 because there's a lot of people that have been talking about this lately, even a lot of people
7:02 that are in kind of my group.
7:04 And it really stems from what was released by the FBI on March the 6th of 2025, because
7:10 the FBI here in America released an official PSA, an official public service announcement
7:15 entitled violent online networks target vulnerable and underage populations across the United
7:21 States and around the globe.
7:23 So this went in concert with a lot of releases from major magazines and news organizations
7:28 and things like that.
7:29 So I actually want to read part of the PSA here, and it'll be in the show notes.
7:32 You can read the whole thing.
7:33 The Federal Bureau of Investigation, the FBI, is warning the public of a sharp increase
7:38 in the activity of 764 and other violent online networks, which operate within the United
7:43 States and around the globe.
7:45 These networks methodically target and exploit minors and other vulnerable individuals, and
7:49 it is imperative the public be made aware of the risk and the warning signs exhibited
7:53 by victims.
7:54 These networks use threats, blackmail, and manipulation to coerce or extort victims into
7:59 producing, sharing, or live streaming acts of self-harm, animal cruelty, sexually explicit
8:04 acts, and/or suicide.
8:06 The footage is then circulated among members of the network and continue to extort victims
8:10 and exert control over them.
8:12 So let's talk about the sex-stortion part of this.
8:15 That might be a new verbiage for some of you, but sex-stortion.
8:20 So basically what sex-stortion is.
8:22 Well, I'll describe an example, because there's been lots of these examples as it pertains
8:26 to teenage boys, a lot of juvenile males from ages about 9 to 17 have been victims of this.
8:32 So a kid will be playing a video game, and then inside of these video game networks they
8:38 can receive direct messages, and so they'll get direct messages from another person that's
8:44 purported to be a kid.
8:46 It's usually a female with some sort of avatar or picture of an attractive female.
8:51 They get them to go off of the gaming system and onto some sort of a social media app,
8:57 like a Snapchat or an Instagram where there's vanish mode where basically the messages can
9:01 go away, and then they, over time, will start sending sexy pictures to this person saying,
9:07 "Hey, send me pictures back of yourself.
9:10 Have you fondling yourself or of something like that?"
9:12 And then what happens is these people will pull the veil off and it'll be like, "No,
9:17 this isn't some attractive teenage girl.
9:21 This is a man in Africa," and he says, "Look, if you don't give us X amount of dollars,
9:26 we're going to post these pictures and videos you sent us online, and we're going to tag
9:30 your friends and family, and we're going to ruin your life."
9:33 And so, unfortunately, a lot of these young men will get in that situation again.
9:39 These could be 10-year-olds, 14-year-olds, right?
9:42 Just think about what you were like at that age.
9:45 In some of these young boys, unfortunately, they don't go to their parents, they don't
9:48 go to the police, they don't go to anybody else for help, and they actually just commit
9:52 suicide.
9:53 There was one story where this all happened in like an afternoon.
9:55 A kid was playing a video game, was caught up in the sex-tortion thing, and then within
10:01 a few hours, a kid was dead because he killed himself, okay?
10:04 So it's actually happening a lot.
10:05 Again, I'll post some stuff to where you guys can look at the numbers.
10:08 And so, in the last few weeks, we've seen a lot of think pieces, a lot of monologues from
10:13 conservative and Christian commentators and pundits.
10:16 Albert Mueller did a special Saturday edition of The Briefing.
10:19 So again, if you're not listening to The Briefing, it's one of the most important things that
10:22 I think you could be consuming.
10:24 It's new events from a Christian worldview.
10:26 That's his tagline.
10:28 But he did this monologue.
10:30 But the problem that I had is I felt like most people were not really talking about the
10:37 issue in a correct way because some of the most common advice I saw in all these think
10:42 pieces and podcasts and whatever was, "Hey, you need to have open communication with
10:47 your sons," okay?
10:49 Make sure your sons know that they can always come to you if they're in trouble, whether
10:53 they go to a party and drink when they shouldn't have, they should know that they should be
10:56 able to call you.
10:57 So if they get caught up on one of those things, just know that they can reach out directly
11:00 to you.
11:01 Also, teach your children about the dangers of online predators.
11:04 Show them some of the warning signs.
11:05 Show them what some of the schemes look like.
11:08 And also, watch for behavioral changes in your sons.
11:10 If there's like these acute immediate behavioral changes, these are likely triggered by something.
11:16 So here's the thing, guys, all of those things are good things.
11:20 Like I am pro all of those things.
11:21 I co-sign and double check or double tap, whatever.
11:25 Like I'm totally cool with all those things.
11:28 But they don't address the root cause of the issue.
11:32 And as people were talking about this, I was reminded of this anecdote, this story that
11:35 someone said, "It's not a real story," but it's just like an interesting way to kind
11:39 of process all this.
11:40 And so there are three hikers that were taken to break by a river and they were eating lunch.
11:45 And then all of a sudden they hear the screams and the cries of a child that's in the river
11:50 coming down the river.
11:51 They're drowning.
11:52 They're, "Help, help, help save me.
11:53 I'm drowning."
11:54 So all three of the hikers jump into the river.
11:56 They grab the kid.
11:57 They pull him back to the shore.
11:59 They save him.
12:00 Oh my gosh.
12:01 So sorry.
12:02 Like, and they try to start drying him off.
12:03 A few minutes later, another kid is coming down the river, "Help, help, help, I'm drowning."
12:07 So the three guys jump back in.
12:09 They grab this kid.
12:10 They get him to the side with the other kid and they're drying him off and they're like,
12:13 "Oh my gosh, this is crazy."
12:14 Two at one time.
12:15 And a few minutes later, another kid coming down the river and he's freaking out, "Please,
12:20 somebody save me."
12:22 One of the hikers just takes off running, right?
12:25 The other two are kind of confused.
12:26 Where's this guy going?
12:27 So these two jump in, they grab the third kid, they get him out and they're drying him
12:31 off all that.
12:32 They're like, "This is absolutely insane what's going on."
12:34 So about 15 minutes goes by, everything's calmed, there's no more kids coming down.
12:38 And then the random hiker that just took off running in a random direction came back.
12:43 And his buddies were like, "Hey man, where the heck did you go?"
12:46 He's like, "I went up river and stopped the guy from throwing kids in," right?
12:52 I feel like that's what's happening in this situation that most people are the two hikers
12:56 that just stayed down by the river and they just kept going in and saving the kids, kept
12:59 going in and saving the kids.
13:00 And nobody's running up river to figure out who in the hell is throwing these kids in the
13:03 river, right?
13:06 So what I feel like everybody is getting wrong about the rise of sex extortion of teenage
13:11 boys is access.
13:15 Almost no one is talking about access and that is the crux of the issue.
13:21 Everyone's given band-aids to cancer patients and they're not really trying to fight the
13:25 actual cancer.
13:27 Because the problem is that these nefarious forces, these nefarious groups, these scammers
13:34 have access to teenage boys.
13:39 How do they have access to these teenage boys?
13:43 Because all of these teenage boys that have gotten caught up in this have unfettered access
13:49 to the internet.
13:51 They have their own personal laptops.
13:54 They have their own personal iPads.
13:56 They have their own personal unlocked smartphones.
14:01 A lot of these kids have televisions in their room that are also smart televisions that
14:05 hook up to the internet.
14:07 They have gaming systems, play stations, Xbox PCs or whatever that are in their rooms, right,
14:13 where they can close the door and no one knows precisely what they're doing.
14:17 They have no oversight of the internet access of their friends, right, whether it's in someone's
14:24 home or not.
14:27 That's the crux of the issue, guys.
14:29 Yes, I'm pro all those other things, preparing your kids.
14:32 You can't just completely bubble wrap your kids.
14:36 But all of these kids, again, nine to 17, they have all of these tools, right?
14:43 Why aren't we discussing that?
14:46 Because in this household, again, we have a four-year-old and a three-year-old right
14:48 now, they're not going to have any of those things.
14:51 They're not going to have unfettered access to the internet.
14:53 They're not going to have unlocked smartphones.
14:55 They're not going to have televisions and gaming systems in their personal rooms.
14:59 And we will have plenty of oversight over the children that we allow into our home and the
15:04 amount of access they have to those things and the homes we allow our kids to go to and
15:09 the amount of access that is had in all of those other places.
15:11 We're going to have a bunch of awkward conversations with parents of our kids, right?
15:15 Our kids' friends, their parents, right?
15:17 Like hey, who comes into and out of the house?
15:22 Like who is typically there?
15:23 Does your kid have an older brother?
15:25 Does that older brother have a smartphone?
15:27 How do you all handle smartphones, tablets, and internet and gaming systems?
15:31 Is that in a common area where you can watch and kind of see what they're saying or do
15:35 you just let them kind of go into their headphones and go into their room and you have no idea
15:37 who they're talking to?
15:38 Do you have a pit bull in the house?
15:40 Do you have a swimming pool that you don't have direct access to in the swimming pool
15:46 or not?
15:47 Is there an older brother in the house or an uncle that comes by that's got a pornography
15:50 problem?
15:51 You're going to be asking a bunch of questions like that and you might be like that's weird,
15:54 that's crazy.
15:55 Oh, I'm sorry.
15:56 It's my job to raise up my children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord and to
16:00 protect them.
16:02 And so all these parents out there, they're not fighting against the smartphone thing.
16:07 They're just going along with it.
16:08 Why?
16:09 Because they don't want their kids to be weird.
16:11 Well my kid has to have a Snapchat and an Instagram because all of his friends do.
16:16 I have to let him have unfettered access to the internet because how is he going to play
16:19 roblox otherwise?
16:21 How's he going to play these random video games with his friends and if he doesn't have his
16:25 own system that's in his room, then I have to watch him play video games.
16:28 That's annoying and sounds crazy.
16:29 I don't want to hear him talking to his friends the whole time.
16:31 So I'm just going to let him go off into his room.
16:34 So I'm heartbroken for these parents that have experienced some of the things that have happened
16:38 here.
16:39 But it's like this is a this is an own goal.
16:42 This is a self-inflicted wound in a lot of these ways.
16:46 But then also we got we got to talk about schools.
16:48 Guys, there should be bands on smartphones across the board at every school in America.
16:54 What is the positive argument for your kid having a smartphone in their pocket?
16:59 Literally a distraction box in their pocket in the middle of school.
17:03 Do you know how many kids have seen porn for the first time at school in the hallways?
17:10 Some doofy kid that's that's got complete access to the internet.
17:13 He finds a porn video and he just like turns it around to his buddies and says, Hey, check
17:16 this out and like your son's trying to get his crap together so that he can go to geometry
17:22 class and all of a sudden he's looking at a hardcore rape scene and are you there in
17:28 the hallways?
17:29 Do you know who your kid, you know, who has a smartphone and who's showing what?
17:33 No, you don't.
17:34 But again, we're worshiping at the altar of weird and we don't want our kids to be weird.
17:38 Right?
17:39 We want them to fit in.
17:41 And I just want to ask you guys on my challenging parents, why do you want your kids to fit in
17:44 with a culture of death, a culture of sex, a culture of destruction of the amago day
17:53 and the destruction of the sanctity of human life and human sexuality?
17:57 Why do you want them to be a part of that culture?
18:02 And so again, I think it's very important that families are talking about this awareness.
18:08 I'm in general not big on awareness campaigns, but yeah, it is good.
18:11 If you're not aware of this, you should be aware that these things are happening.
18:13 But the thing that you should be more aware of is what you should do to fix this.
18:18 Again, every family is different.
18:20 You know, kids need to get phones at a certain point.
18:23 And but I think you were overestimating how much they will be quote unquote left behind
18:28 if they don't have a smartphone and internet access and social media like all their friends.
18:32 And we haven't even talked about little girls, the destructive nature of social media for
18:36 little girls, the bullying that goes on, the comparison because they're comparing themselves
18:41 to these airbrushed airbrushed pictures of these models and these fake these fake AI images
18:48 and stuff like that.
18:49 And they're thinking themselves, I'm never going to be as cuter as pretty as these girls.
18:52 You have boys and girls that are losing sleep because they can't put the phone down.
18:58 Because you're you're dead asleep in your room.
19:00 You're good to go.
19:01 But it's 11 o'clock.
19:02 It's midnight.
19:03 And here they are scrolling their phone.
19:05 Just doom scrolling TikTok, doom scrolling.
19:08 They're on different message boards and different things like that.
19:10 And again, it's not about what your kid has access to as much as it is about who you're
19:15 giving access to them.
19:17 Like that hacker that was on the Sean Ryan show talked about he created this profile pretending
19:21 to be like a 14 year old girl and went to just some random chat room and said hi.
19:25 And within seconds he was getting sent sexually explicit materials by people and their DMS
19:29 by adult males.
19:31 So yes, you're giving them access to this negative, harmful content, but you're giving
19:37 these horrible predators direct access to your child because you don't want to be to
19:43 be weird because you want to be able to text them during the day when they're at school,
19:47 which is also not a good idea.
19:49 Leave your kid alone.
19:50 Right?
19:51 It's always hard.
19:52 It's already hard enough for the teacher to deal with a classroom full of kids that
19:54 don't really want to be there that aren't really interested in the subject matter to try to
19:57 keep them engaged for 50 minutes before the bell rings.
20:00 They got to go to their next class where it's just rinse and repeat and here you are just
20:03 texting them during the day.
20:04 You're doing sweetie hope you're having a good day.
20:07 It's just not a good idea.
20:09 So I'm all for the proper campaigns to make people aware of this, but we need to go to

22:40 All right, guys, let's get into the quick hitters.
22:42 The Trump White House's presidential message on Holy Week.
22:45 So this is according to the presidential message on Holy Week that was released.
22:48 I think it was on the 13th or something like that.
22:50 I'm actually going to be reading the entirety of it here.
22:53 This Holy Week, Melania and I join in prayer with Christian celebrating the crucifixion
22:57 and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the living son of God who conquered
23:01 death, freed us from sin and unlocked the gates of heaven for all of humanity.
23:06 Beginning with Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and the culminating
23:10 in the Pascal tritum, which begins on Holy Thursday with mass in the Lord's Supper, followed
23:15 by Good Friday and reaching its pinnacle in the Easter vigil on Holy Saturday night.
23:20 This week is a time of reflection for Christians to memorialize Jesus' crucifixion and to prepare
23:26 their hearts, minds and souls for his miraculous resurrection from the dead.
23:30 During the sacred week, we acknowledge that the glory of the Easter Sunday cannot come
23:34 without the sacrifice Jesus Christ made on the cross.
23:37 In his final hours on earth, Christ willingly endured excruciating pain, torture and the
23:41 execution on the cross out of a deep and abiding love for all of his creation.
23:45 Through his suffering, we have redemption.
23:47 Through his death, we are forgiven of our sins.
23:49 Through his resurrection, we have hope of eternal life.
23:52 On Easter morning, the stone is rolled away, the tomb is empty, and the light prevails
23:55 over darkness, signaling that death does not have the final word.
24:00 This Holy Week, my administration renews its promise to defend Christian faith in our
24:04 schools, military workplaces, hospitals and the halls of government.
24:07 We will never waver in safeguarding the right to religious liberty, upholding the dignity
24:11 of life and protecting God in our public square.
24:16 As we focus on Christ's redeeming sacrifice, we look to his love, humility and obedience,
24:20 even in life's most difficult and uncertain moments.
24:23 This week, we pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon our beloved nation.
24:27 We pray that America will remain a beacon of faith, hope and freedom for the entire world,
24:31 and we pray to achieve a future that reflects the truth, beauty and goodness of Christ's
24:34 eternal kingdom and heaven.
24:36 May God bless you and your family during this special time of year, and may he continue
24:39 to bless the United States of America.
24:42 I mean, my goodness, guys, like that, that just makes me so proud, right?
24:48 That makes me so proud that as coming from the White House of the United States of America.
24:53 So to go to my big takeaway here, did Donald Trump write this?
24:57 No, clearly not.
25:00 But did Donald Trump approve this?
25:02 Yes.
25:03 Clearly, so I don't think a message like that goes out without his say so, right?
25:08 Now does Donald Trump believe this personally for himself?
25:12 Probably not.
25:13 I would say, I would say no.
25:15 I don't know that we can see the true view of kind of a redemptive saving faith in Donald
25:22 Trump.
25:23 It's hard to judge from here.
25:24 I'll be honest, but perhaps Donald Trump doesn't actually believe that and if he maybe doesn't
25:30 believe that for himself, but my point is, isn't it better than the trash that we got
25:34 from the Biden White House?
25:36 I mean, my gosh, my gosh, it's just like a theologically rich and dense message like
25:41 what we got from the Trump administration recently, but the Biden administration made
25:46 sure to have Trans Day of Visibility also be Easter.
25:51 Now people are like, oh, that was already on the calendar and it's already the, you know,
25:54 this Sunday on whichever calendar, blah, blah.
25:56 So Easter was the one butting in like Easter is the problem, right?
26:00 But just imagine the difference.
26:03 And so that's a question for all you dorks that were like, oh, we can't support Trump.
26:06 You know, the never Trump Republicans, the never Trump or Christians, Catholics, all
26:10 those people, right?
26:12 It's like, okay, what do you think Kamala Harris would have posted some vapid nonsensical
26:16 thing about all religions being equally important?
26:18 This is just kind of one of the ones that we celebrate or something like, Hey, yeah, we
26:22 don't want to celebrate this because Christians are big.
26:24 Anyway, like just think about how the difference would be.
26:27 So super proud of that.
26:28 All right.
26:29 Next quick.
26:30 Here.
26:31 This is obviously a terrible, terrible story, but 50 plus Nigerian Christians being slaughtered
26:34 by Muslim fundamentalist on Palm Sunday.
26:36 So this is according to the Herald on April the 16th, a brutal attack by suspected Islamist
26:40 Foulani militias on Palm Sunday has left at least 51 Christians dead in Nigeria's plateau
26:46 state, sparking outrage among local communities and silence from much of the international
26:50 community.
26:51 And coordinated assault targeted to predominantly Christian villages with the worst carnage
26:55 reported in Ziki village, Basa County.
26:58 Witnesses described a night of horror as gunmen stormed homes, setting them ablaze and killing
27:03 entire families, including women, children and the elderly, and what local leaders are
27:07 calling a deliberate act of religious persecution.
27:10 So I've obviously talked a lot about Islam.
27:13 I've talked a lot about the least abrogated seras being the most bloody and about how
27:17 these Foulani groups and Boko Haram and Al Qaeda and ISIS and all these groups, how they're
27:21 doing exactly what their false prophet Muhammad would want them to do.
27:24 But my big takeaway here is a question.
27:26 Did you hear about this?
27:29 Because again, I'm in these circles and I follow these things where I'm trying to expose
27:32 myself to as much darkness as possible so that I can teach you guys how to recognize
27:36 it so that we can push it back, right?
27:38 I'm here to equipment to push back darkness, right?
27:41 So I have to kind of be in all these different areas.
27:43 Did you hear about that?
27:45 You probably heard a whole lot more about some random MS-13 gang member being accidentally
27:49 deported without quote unquote due process.
27:51 You probably heard more about some of the other things that I'm going to be talking
27:53 about here in the quick hitters today.
27:55 Did you hear about dozens and dozens and dozens of innocent Christians being slaughtered
28:00 because they were Christians?
28:01 By Muslims.
28:02 Did you hear about it?
28:05 Nope.
28:06 Just African Christians.
28:07 Who cares about them, right?
28:09 They had it coming probably.
28:10 You know, Christians are just small-minded bigots anyway, right?
28:13 They're anti-LGBTQ, so they probably had it coming.
28:16 So guys, I would just welcome you to do what I'm doing, which is praying for these people.
28:23 Again, these people were essentially martyred for their faith and what they believe Islam
28:28 will not be defeated until Jesus comes back, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't push back
28:34 against the darkness.
28:35 We should continue to do so.
28:36 Next quick hitter here, a state in Australia criminalizing prayer.
28:40 According to the Christian Institute on April the 16th, let's go into the story here.
28:44 The Australian state of New South Wales has criminalized prayer, preaching or pastoral
28:48 advice that seeks to convince others to live according to biblical sexual ethics.
28:52 Under the Conversion Practices Ban Act of 2024, which took effect on the 4th of April,
28:57 anyone accused of changing or suppressing another's gender identity or sexual orientation could
29:02 be fined up to $100,000 as part of the civil complaints scheme.
29:06 If the person who has deemed to cause substantial mental or physical harm, they could be sentenced
29:11 to up to five years in prison.
29:13 In New guidance, the New South Wales government confirmed that it could be illegal to advise
29:17 a same sex attracted Christian to remain celibate or to pray for them at their request.
29:23 A video publicizing the law released by the Anti-Discrimination New South Wales group
29:27 states that conversion practices could resemble prayer or pastoral conversations that is intended
29:33 to change or suppress someone's gender or sexuality.
29:36 Although the governmental body says it is not illegal to state what a religion says about
29:40 a particular topic, this would not protect anyone who encouraged another to adhere to
29:44 that belief.
29:46 Anti-Discrimination New South Wales also claims that numerous faith communities actively support
29:50 LGBTQA people displaying a symbol of the cross next to transgender and asexual flags.
29:57 So this is obviously straight out of 1984, this is definite religious persecution.
30:03 They do not have the rights in Australia that we currently do here in the United States.
30:07 But right into my big takeaway in that vein, you're a fool if you don't think this could
30:12 happen here.
30:14 You are a complete fool if you think we will not experience something like this.
30:19 Again, I want you to think, what if it was Kamala Harris and that dork Tim Walz?
30:24 What if they were in the White House right now?
30:27 What would the Easter season look like and feel like that we just came out of, right?
30:32 How would you feel about, again, people worried about the economy, people worried about foreign
30:35 policy and all that?
30:36 But what about your right to not bake a cake for use your art for a gay couple's benefit?
30:44 What about the destruction of image bearers of God in the womb?
30:48 Just think about the state of the country and the state of those things as we're sitting
30:51 here right now.
30:53 But this is how things go because Australia is a Western country, Canada is a Western
30:59 country, UK, these are Western countries, right?
31:04 And to think that the things that are happening there cannot come here is a foolish thing to
31:08 do.
31:09 And we have to fight against it.
31:10 We have to constantly advocate for and vote for leaders that will keep things like this
31:15 from happening.
31:16 So here recently, one of my friends that I grew up with Cindy Munson, I literally have
31:21 known her since fourth grade, she's running for governor for the state of Oklahoma in
31:25 2026.
31:26 Anouncer candidacy, she's my age, single, never married, no kids, female.
31:32 Her biggest reason for running is that she's not white and that she's not male, right?
31:36 That's the only reason why she's running because if she were a white male, she would have no
31:38 chance in the Democratic Party.
31:40 One of her main talking points, right, in her campaign, like here I'm doing this, I'm
31:46 going for it, is women being able to control their bodies, right?
31:50 Which is a euphemism for killing as many Oklahomans in the womb as possible if their mother is
31:55 a whore and made bad sexual decisions, right?
31:59 That's one of her main talking points.
32:02 And so someone might be nice, someone might be a good friend of yours, someone might be
32:07 a good person to hang out with, you might have good conversation with them, but it's
32:10 what they believe and how they will govern that matters.
32:13 And if we continue to kind of just like, oh, I really like this person, yeah, they don't
32:17 really agree with how I believe and they don't have good moral standards or things
32:21 like that.
32:22 Ah, no big deal.
32:23 That's what happens in a place like New South Wales, right?
32:27 Where if you're a pastor and a transgender, a gender-confused teenager comes to you, like
32:33 what happened at North Point, right?
32:36 And if they do the right thing, which is the opposite of what North Point did, and they
32:38 said, hey, you know, you were made male, I know you're confused about your gender, I
32:44 know you're going through a weird time in puberty, but we're going to stay the course
32:47 and we're going to support you and we're going to stick to biblical truth.
32:49 You could get $100,000 fine and five years in prison for that.
32:53 When the kid came to you for Godly counsel, we're really not that far away from something
32:59 like this happening in this country.
33:02 And that will be a giant sort.
33:03 I know I'm flowing quite a bit on this one.
33:04 That will be a giant sorting mechanism.
33:07 Okay.
33:08 COVID was a bit of a sorting mechanism.
33:10 Who were the pastors that were willing to stand up and say, no, we are actually going
33:14 to have church, right?
33:16 The John MacArthur's and the guys up in Canada forgot their name, several of the guys that
33:21 got arrested for holding church, right?
33:25 Most people just went along to get along and they just did whatever the government told
33:29 them to do.
33:30 And then they incorrectly quoted Romans 13 to everybody.
33:33 But there's going to be a big sort in this country because if in this country, something
33:37 like what just happened in New South Wales goes into law, will your pastor stand up and
33:42 say, absolutely not.
33:44 If someone comes to us and they're gender confused or they have same sex attraction,
33:47 we're going to uphold a biblical ethic because that supersedes the that we are to submit
33:53 to government because when the government is not submitted to God and is saying something
33:56 that is antithetical to the Bible, we are to go to God's law and God's morality above
34:01 man's law and man's morality.
34:03 Are they willing to be marched out of church and handcuffs because I'm going to venture
34:07 a guest that's not even going to not going to be too far off from reality?
34:10 A bunch of them will not.
34:11 They will capitulate, right?
34:14 How many pastors are willing to have a prison ministry from the inside because they stood
34:19 up for God in the biblical ethic that we see?
34:22 Okay.
34:23 Something to think about.
34:24 Next quick hitter here, the debate between Douglas Murray and Dave Stewart and the Joe
34:27 Rogan experience.
34:28 Okay.
34:29 So I'm not going to talk about this one for too long because I want you guys to go and
34:32 watch it.
34:33 So I've got in the show notes.
34:34 I forget what number it was, but it was in the last several weeks, but Douglas Murray
34:37 is a political commentator, a cultural critic and the author of a bunch of different books.
34:40 Dave Smith is a stand up comedian and he's a libertarian kind of political commentator,
34:44 podcaster, that type of thing.
34:46 This is one of the most interesting things that I've seen recently in terms of a online
34:49 debate because there's, there's no one that's kind of in the middle as to who won.
34:56 There are either people that fervently believe that Douglas Murray wiped the floor with Dave
35:00 Smith.
35:01 He's one of those people and then there's people that see Douglas Murray as a fool and
35:05 that Dave Smith, he's the one that knows the thing, right?
35:09 So there were several things in the debate that I didn't really care for.
35:13 So Douglas Murray at one point was talking to Dave Smith and is like, Hey, have you ever
35:16 been to need these checkpoints?
35:17 I've ever been to Israel or Palestine or something like that and he hadn't and Douglas Murray
35:21 just kept pounding.
35:22 I'm like, you comment so much on this area and yet you've never been there.
35:25 You've never been there.
35:26 You've never been there.
35:27 So I'm like, well, I've never been inside the Supreme Court, but it's Supreme Court hands
35:31 down a decision.
35:32 I feel like I can say something, but then I was also reminded of that great scene from
35:36 Goodwill hunting where Will sitting on the bench and Robin Williams, this character comes
35:42 out and it's like, you know, you can spout off all these quotes, but you've never been
35:46 inside the Sistine Chapel.
35:47 You don't know what it smells like.
35:48 And so you haven't experienced it.
35:49 So there were different parts that weren't as strong, but my big takeaway on this one,
35:53 and I know I'm kind of tinging it for you before you go into it.
35:55 If you haven't already watched it, this debate shows you the difference between a guy that
35:59 says stuff versus a guy that actually knows stuff, Douglas Murray knows stuff, Dave Smith
36:06 says stuff.
36:07 And man, this is what you get with a lot of these libertarian people, okay?
36:11 And there's a really funny joke in there that Douglas Murray makes that libertarians are
36:14 like the, you know, the bisexuals of politics.
36:16 It's like, just make a decision, like just choose a side, like, come on.
36:21 Libertarians have gotten so annoying and I know I'm going to [inaudible] off some of my audience
36:24 here.
36:25 Stick with me.
36:26 I get to have my own opinions.
36:27 I'm entitled to it.
36:28 Because they love to be like, I don't want to do that and the government shouldn't tell
36:31 me this.
36:32 And they're just kind of like doing their own little Ron Swanson thing without realizing
36:35 that they're such an ineffective group of people because they basically caucus with
36:39 Republicans when push comes to shove because libertarianism is never going to be a major
36:45 movement in the libertarian parties, never going to be a major party in this country.
36:48 You might lament that.
36:49 You might hate the two party system, but guess what, Duf?
36:52 That's the system that you're in.
36:54 So sure, read the conspiracy theory books and talk about, you know, how things were back
36:58 in the day.
36:59 But like, but we have the political reality of right now.
37:03 So you might have your, you know, your, you know, really fervent beliefs about libertarianism,
37:07 but you're basically feckless when it comes to ballot box day, because if you vote for
37:11 the libertarians, you might as well be tossing your vote into the void because that's where
37:16 it's going.
37:17 Okay.
37:18 And a lot of these people, they're kind of the conspiratorial, right, they're, oh, I'm
37:21 just asking questions and I'm getting very annoyed with these people because they sound
37:25 smart by saying things like, oh, you know, the real villain of World War two is Winston
37:29 Churchill, but then they can't actually back it up with anything that's even vaguely historically
37:34 accurate.
37:36 It gets you a lot of clicks, right?
37:38 It's, it's sensational, but it's not attached to anything.
37:41 So keep that in mind as you go through and watch that debate.
37:44 Next week you're here.
37:45 I wasn't going to talk about this story because there's, there's so much to it.
37:48 I, I thought about leading off with it, but I wasn't going to be able to do another one
37:51 of these episodes for a few more weeks.
37:52 So a black teenager stabbing a white teenager to death at a high school track meet in Texas.
37:56 You might think why didn't I just put their names?
37:58 Well, because we've kind of moved past the fact that these people have names to where,
38:02 oh, it's a black person and a white person.
38:04 That's kind of the main headline for the story.
38:07 So I want to talk about this.
38:08 According to the Daily Wire on April 14th, Carmilla Anthony, who's been charged with
38:11 murdering Austin Metcalf 17 had his bond drastically reduced and was granted house arrest per
38:16 a judge's ruling on Monday.
38:18 Earlier this month, Metcalf, Metcalf was stabbed to death at a high school track meet in Texas
38:22 after reportedly telling Anthony 17 that he was sitting in the wrong seat.
38:26 Anthony had been charged with murder.
38:28 And according to the arrest warrant told the police of the fatal stabbing, I did it.
38:31 Initially, Anthony's bond was set at $1 million, but a Colin County judge agreed to lower the
38:36 bond to $250,000.
38:38 The teen will be required to wear an ankle monitor and stay inside the parent's home if
38:41 the family cannot post bond or the family can post bond CBS news reports.
38:45 So reportedly what happened and by the way, there's going to be a video of this that comes
38:49 out.
38:50 You're telling me that there's a track meet.
38:51 All these kids have smartphones.
38:52 No one took video of this interaction as soon as it started to seem like a fight was about
38:56 to come out.
38:57 No one pulled out their phones.
38:58 So we're going to see video of what happened, but reportedly, according to witness reports,
39:02 Carmilla Anthony was sitting in a seat under the tent of a school that he did not attend.
39:09 So this is a provocational thing.
39:11 He didn't just happen to walk in there.
39:13 He was tired after running a race and he didn't realize where he was.
39:17 He knew exactly where he was and he knew he shouldn't be there.
39:20 Austin Metcalf apparently confronts him and says, "Hey, you need to leave.
39:24 This isn't your tent.
39:25 This isn't your seat."
39:26 And Carmilla Anthony basically said, "What are you going to do about it?"
39:29 Okay?
39:30 So Austin Metcalf, who's by all intents purposes, or was a great kid, you know, a student, you
39:36 know, captain, football team, like going to go to college like good kid, they get into
39:41 a little bit of a scuffle where he's like trying to get him out of the tent.
39:44 Like you got to leave.
39:45 You got to get out of here, right?
39:47 And so Carmilla Anthony says, "Do something, like do something," like he's like welcoming
39:52 him to a fight.
39:53 Carmilla Anthony goes into his bag, his backpack, pulls out a knife, stabs Austin Metcalf in
39:59 the heart, takes off running, okay?
40:02 He takes off running.
40:04 He chucks the knife into the bleachers.
40:07 When he's caught by the cops, he's like, "Hey, is this self-defense?
40:11 Like I mean, I stabbed this kid, but it isn't that self-defense," right?
40:14 Basically saying like he definitely did it on purpose.
40:17 But now what it's become is it's become a civil rights issue somehow.
40:21 There was a recent news conference where a press conference where this kind of pastor-a-turning
40:28 guy who's an awful person, a long track record of being violent and terrible towards people,
40:35 they get up there and they're talking about it and Austin Metcalf's dad came to this and
40:39 he said he's already forgiven Carmilla Anthony and all these types of things again for stabbing
40:42 his son in cold blood and they like castigated the father and they kicked him out of this
40:46 press conference even though he wasn't saying anything or doing anything.
40:50 There's a lot of people that are tracking how much money is being raised by GoFundMe's
40:53 or similar things for each kid.
40:56 So Carmilla Anthony has raised way more money via GoFundMe.
40:59 A murderer has raised way more money via his GoFundMe than the one for Austin Metcalf.
41:05 There's also this family.
41:07 So tell me if you've heard something that sounds like this before, the family of Carmilla
41:10 Anthony, they didn't just go back to their home.
41:12 They're in like this gated neighborhood in this palatial estate like this mansion right
41:16 now.
41:17 That's where they're staying even though part of their bond being reduced from a million
41:20 to 250,000 was financial hardship and yet we're at like half a million dollars being
41:24 raised for this kid.
41:26 But if you go into the messages for the people that are donating money, it's just anti-white
41:32 racist hatred.
41:34 It's congratulatory for Carmilla Anthony like, hey, good job killing the white devil.
41:39 We're evening the score.
41:41 That's somehow because of Jim Crow or slavery or something that this kid stabbing another
41:46 kid in cold blood was a net positive.
41:48 Okay?
41:49 So I have some big takeaways and some questions as it pertains to this case because here's
41:53 some questions that we haven't gotten answers for yet or even logical explanations.
41:58 Why was Carmilla Anthony in the tent for a school that he doesn't attend to begin with?
42:03 Why was he there?
42:05 Nobody's told us.
42:07 I think it's pretty clear he was trying to provoke an altercation.
42:11 Also, why did he have a knife with him under that tent where he was trying to provoke someone
42:17 into a fight?
42:18 Why did he have a knife?
42:21 Also, can we reasonably assume that this is his first brush with violence?
42:29 Because again, we're going to be getting all the pictures of Carmilla Anthony like, you
42:32 know, at his graduation and smiling on camera and all those types of things.
42:35 Are you telling me this, this 17 year old kid has never been violent before, been exposed
42:40 to violence of that nature?
42:41 Are you telling me he went from perfect kids sitting at the bus stop reading his Bible
42:45 to stabbing somebody in the heart, killing them?
42:49 Then also question, why do leftists always pick the worst heroes?
42:53 This kid, this murderer, right, alleged murderer, he murdered someone in cold blood because
42:58 he told him to get out of the tent that he wasn't supposed to be in to begin with.
43:01 This was a high school scuffle that turned into him killing somebody in cold blood and
43:06 he somehow a hero.
43:08 When you listen to this kid's mom, Carmilla Anthony's mom and you listen to some of these
43:11 people, you would think that Carmilla Anthony was dead and he was killed by a racist white
43:16 person.
43:17 This kid's still alive, right?
43:20 He's in jail.
43:21 He should go to prison for the rest of his life, right?
43:24 Unless what's being reported is completely, you know, false at this point.
43:29 He should go to prison for the rest of his life.
43:30 He should get the death penalty for murdering someone like that, but why do leftists pick
43:34 people like this?
43:35 George Floyd, horrible person, Michael Brown, awful person, but these are the heroes, right?
43:42 And so again, these are, you know, kind of the heroes that are raised up in the black
43:45 community.
43:46 What about Ben Carson, right?
43:48 What about Thomas soul?
43:51 What about pick somebody that's not a thug?
43:55 Why can't they be a hero and someone that we look up to?
43:58 Why are we looking up to rappers and murderers?
44:01 And I guess my last thing on here, because some of you are going to be offended that
44:03 the fact that I call Carmilla Anthony a thug, but let me just inform you, I'm not calling
44:07 Carmilla Anthony a thug because he's black.
44:09 I'm calling him a thug because he's clearly a thug.
44:12 I grew up in a town with a lot of thugs.
44:15 I lost thugs that were my friends and guess what?
44:18 I had knowledge of and friends that were black thugs, white thugs, Mexican thugs, Asian thugs,
44:26 all shaped sizes, backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses, right, I knew some rich thugs, right?
44:33 You're a thug if you do thuggish things, like having a knife in your backpack, knowing that
44:38 you're probably going to get in a fight and knowing that you're not just going to be defending
44:42 yourself or the knife because you feel threatened for your life, but because you know you're
44:46 going to use it, maybe because you heard it in a rap song, maybe because you got the
44:51 idea from one of your stupid friends, maybe because you've been playing too many violent
44:55 video games and you think this is an appropriate level of defense in a situation that I started,
45:02 right?
45:03 That's what's going through his head, okay?
45:05 So what this kid deserves, if everything comes out to be accurate to what we know now, he
45:09 deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison for doing what he did to the Metcalf family
45:14 and we shouldn't feel bad about it.
45:17 He made his bed.
45:18 Now he's got a lie in it.
45:19 Next quick at her here, a proposed California ballot measure named in honor of the alleged
45:23 murderer, Luigi Mangione, so speaking of, you know, lionizing murderers, this is according
45:28 to AOL, which is apparently still a thing on March the 30th, Californians could soon
45:32 be voting on a new healthcare law named after Luigi Mangione, the Ivy League grad who is
45:36 accused of executing the CEO of United Healthcare in cold blood.
45:40 He's accused of it.
45:41 It's on video.
45:42 He basically admitted to it.
45:43 The Luigi Mangione access to healthcare act was put forward by retired Los Angeles attorney
45:47 Paul Eisner, who said the sixth stunt was necessary to get the publicity for his proposal.
45:52 The proposed ballot measure would make it illegal for an insurance company to delay,
45:56 deny, or modify any medical procedure or medication recommended by a doctor.
46:00 If there could be serious consequences, consequences, including disability, death, amputation, permanent
46:05 disfigurement, loss, or reduction of any bodily function according to the document filed to
46:09 the California attorney general's office.
46:11 So big takeaway on this one, this likely isn't going anywhere, but the big takeaway is it
46:16 is evidence of a shocking sickness in our culture that so many people are now fans and supporters
46:21 of Luigi Mangione.
46:24 So we see the shocking video.
46:26 He's got this, you know, 3D printed gun.
46:29 He walks up behind the healthcare CEO who he had been tracking for apparently weeks, shoots
46:36 him in the back, executes him.
46:39 And then here's the thing, people are alignizing this guy as a hero, right?
46:44 He killed one of the 1%, one of these people that runs one of these horrible companies
46:48 and all that, and you're thinking yourself, wow, there are a lot of companies I don't
46:52 like.
46:53 There are a lot of people that I don't want to give my support of my dollars, right?
46:58 But I don't think we should kill the CEOs because I don't like their product or how they do
47:02 business.
47:03 But that's precisely what a lot of people have been doing.
47:06 So Bill Burr used to be one of my favorite comedians, but he married a wild leftist years
47:10 ago and it's clearly affected him and now he's kind of in the Hollywood elite.
47:13 So his comedy has changed, his viewpoints has changed.
47:15 He basically came right out and said, free Luigi, right?
47:18 Free this kid.
47:19 It's okay that he killed somebody that makes a lot of money that works for a company that
47:23 operates in a way that he personally does not like.
47:26 And it's also kind of rich.
47:28 They're calling this guy a hero, like he's Robin Hood type of thing.
47:32 He tried to get away with it.
47:35 He didn't shoot the guy and march over to the police station and say, I'm turning myself
47:40 in.
47:41 I have done my duty for humanity, worship me.
47:45 He tried to get away, but Mr. Ivy League was apparently a moron when it came to pulling
47:49 off a crime because his face was everywhere in the area.
47:53 He's on video doing this crime and then he basically admits to it.
47:58 So he's going to be in prison for the rest of his life for doing something like this,
48:01 but he's going to be lionized again.
48:03 He's going to be lionized by people that think it's okay.
48:07 Oh, this handsome Ivy League guy.
48:10 He's one of us.
48:12 He's eat the rich idea and when you see so many people celebrating thugs like Luigi
48:17 Mangione and Carmelo Anthony, what does that tell you about our sick, sick to death culture?
48:24 This is a culture that is in desperate need of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
48:31 It's literally the only thing that can save these people because you can't have a Christian
48:35 worldview and a biblical ethic and look at Carmelo Anthony and Luigi Mangione in any other way.
48:40 You may feel pity for them because these are clearly not followers of Christ.
48:43 You can pray for their salvation.
48:45 You can you can pray that they can repent of the horrible awful satanic things that they
48:49 have done in the name of whatever philosophy and ideology or devoid of any philosophy or
48:54 ideology, but to look at these people as heroes is absolutely asinine and incredibly concerning.
49:00 All right.
49:01 Next one here, a proposed Colorado house bill that would categorize misgendering and dead
49:06 naming as child abuse.
49:08 So this is according to Breitbart on April the 16th, according to the bill's summary,
49:11 the legislation would direct courts making child custody decisions and determining the
49:15 best interests of a child for purposes of parenting time to consider dead naming and
49:19 misgendering or threatening to publish material related to an individual sex change services
49:24 as types of coercive control.
49:27 The bill would additionally define dead naming and misgendering as discriminatory acts in
49:31 the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act, which would essentially prohibit calling sex confuse
49:35 individuals by their real names or biological sex in places of public accommodation.
49:40 So if you're not familiar, dead naming is like, okay, you know, this person has been
49:45 John their entire life, but now they want to be, you know, they're 14 and they want
49:49 to be Jane.
49:50 And so if you call them John, you're dead naming them because they said their name is
49:53 Jane, right?
49:55 And then misgendering is obviously like, okay, if you say to John, you know, he, you use
50:00 masculine pronouns, that is misgendering them, okay?
50:03 Big takeaway on this one, Colorado has fallen.
50:07 It's a beautiful state, but it has two horrible pockets of deep deep blue that ruins the entire
50:13 state, but your state doesn't have to be fallen like Colorado, okay?
50:20 Because people in Boulder and people in Denver have destroyed that state in a lot of different
50:25 ways.
50:26 And it doesn't just start with the fact that people in those areas are like, Oh, wolves
50:28 are so cute.
50:29 Shouldn't we just like reintroduce them into Colorado, which is going to decimate the
50:32 old population, all kinds of other things.
50:33 So all you people with your Colorado hunting, you know, stuff and all that, you try to sell
50:39 that property.
50:40 You should probably sell it because they'll in Mule Deer are going to be gone in short
50:43 order as the, you know, the wolf packs continue to grow in that state.
50:46 But again, this goes back to electing people that are not going to allow this type of insanity,
50:52 because I don't think this bill is going to be stopped.
50:53 I think it's going to the Colorado Senate, it should pass and then it's going to go to
50:57 the governor's desk and it will be signed.
50:59 So if you're a father, because this is always kind of how it is, if you're a father and
51:02 the mom is trying to transition the kids, you say, no, I'm not going to call my kid
51:07 by a different name in a, in a gender that's, that's not their gender.
51:10 I'm absolutely not going to do that.
51:12 The state of Colorado is essentially going to keep you from your children.
51:15 They are going to steal your children from you.
51:20 So guys, if you live in Colorado and you don't trust your wife or you're in one of those situations,
51:27 you probably need to get out of that state and don't move to a state like California
51:31 or Illinois or New Jersey or New York or Oregon or Washington, come to a free state
51:37 like Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, Tennessee, Florida, go to a place like that, where something
51:44 like that will not happen as long as the electorate keeps doing their job.
51:48 All right.
51:49 Next one here, a proposed Oklahoma House bill that would allow for the chemical castration
51:53 of child sex offenders. So this is according to KOCO news five on March the 11th, a bill
51:57 that just passed the Oklahoma House floor would require convicted child sex offenders
52:01 to be chemically castrated before they're eligible for parole.
52:05 Fett Gatter, a Republican from Oak Moagie said chemical castration would be an option
52:09 for offenders who want to be paroled or they would be required to serve 100% of their sentences.
52:14 House bill 2422 would affect those who are over 21 who have committed a crime involving
52:18 physical touch against a minor under 13 that requires registration as a sex offender and
52:23 who have received a mental health evaluation determining the likelihood they would commit
52:27 subsequent offenses if released on parole. The bill now heads to the Senate to be heard.
52:32 I think that this will be passed by the Senate. I think Stitt will certainly sign this into
52:35 law. Big take on this one. Thank you, Oklahoma. I just talked about the craziness in California
52:40 and Colorado. Thank you, Oklahoma. Yeah, people like to talk about, you know, oh, there's
52:45 nothing to do there in the state super flat and you're, you're bad in this category or
52:48 bad in that category. At least we're not insane. We got our issues. We got our potholes, but
52:54 we're not insane. This is amazing. My problem with this bill is it doesn't go too far because
53:01 you're basically giving these people an option. Okay, you can get out early, which need to
53:05 chemically castrate you or you have to serve your whole sentence. I think it should be
53:08 like, Oh, you raped or molested a kid sexually, physical castration and then death, right?
53:18 Why do we want this person back in polite society? Because again, most of these people
53:23 that offend in this way, they don't do it once. They were just overwhelmed with temptation
53:27 one time. And then they never do it again. That's not real life. They, when you look
53:33 at statistically speaking, when these people are caught, they, they typically have tens
53:37 and tens and tens of victims, right? This is just a, an attitude that they can't stop unless
53:44 the gospel stops them, unless they have a true repentance and change of heart, right?
53:49 But that's God's work to do. But for us in this society, we have to protect children.
53:56 This is one way to do it. So good job, Oklahoma. Next one here, a pit bull mauling a seven
54:00 month old baby girl to death in Ohio, but you didn't need me to say pit bull, right?
54:04 You should have already known that. According to the New York Post on April the 12th, now
54:07 Ohio infant was killed by one of her family's three pit bulls. Her parents said on social
54:13 media, I will never understand why mother Mackenzie Copley wrote on Facebook Saturday,
54:17 posting pictures of her seven month old daughter cuddling with the family dogs. I'm so lost
54:24 and broken. This was the same dog who was side by side with my baby every single day,
54:28 she wrote. So let me go to my big takeaway because we do have a lot of new listeners.
54:33 Some of you are not going to like this, but welcome to the show. Pipples are not domesticated
54:37 animals. They're wild animals and they should be banned. You should not be able to own them.
54:42 If you want my full take on this, go to episode 377 of this podcast. Okay. Episode 377, the
54:48 name of the podcast is YouTube censoring us banning pit bulls tears from Jordan Peterson
54:52 and more. Okay. Episode 377. But here's kind of the skinny version on this. Pit bulls were
54:57 literally bred to do what they do when they maul people to death. They were bred to do
55:01 it. So this isn't like a brokenness in particular pit bulls. This is what they were bred to do.
55:06 Pit bulls make up less than 6% of the dog population in the United States, but they're responsible
55:11 for 68% of dog attacks and over 50% of dog related deaths since 1982. Okay. Their victims
55:18 also are almost always small children and elderly women. And I've gotten all the objections
55:24 guys. Oh, it's the owners. You know, it's the owners fault, not the dogs fault. Oh, well,
55:29 what are we going to do now? Are we going to, we're going to ban pools because kids dying
55:31 pools, are we going to ban ladders because people fall off ladders and dies? Well, and
55:35 die. Well, guess what? Pools can't grab you and then hold you under until you die. Ladders
55:41 can't chase you down the street, grab you by the throat and stay clamped on until you
55:45 stop moving because duh. And in my big takeaway on episode 377 is that I am completely unwilling
55:54 to err on the side of any dog over any human life because I've said before, I think pimples
56:00 are awesome. I think they're really cool. If I were a single guy that didn't have nieces
56:04 and nephews, I would likely own a pit bull because they're athletic. They're awesome. And
56:08 guess what? Pit bulls aren't killing 38 year olds that are strong and fit. Again, they're
56:14 killing children, seven month olds, five year olds are killing 80 year old women, right?
56:22 That's what they're doing. We have to stop looking at them as if they're just cute, you
56:27 know, cute animals. And when I see pictures that people post because I was from a town
56:31 where people fought their pit bulls, right? I had friends that made money fighting their
56:34 dogs, right? But somewhat often in the town that I'm from, like there are kids that are
56:40 mauled to death by the family pit bull and they, these parents just have, oh my gosh,
56:44 how could this happen? The dog was with this kid all the time. I saw them wag their tail.
56:49 I saw them lay next to this baby. But then one day they remember I'm a pit bull and they
56:55 attacked the kid without provocation and without being provoked in any way, right? And again,
57:01 go back to that episode. I talk about it all. You keep hearing stories about this. And again,
57:06 for those of you that are like pro pit bull apologists and all that, I didn't even need
57:09 to tell you the breed of the dog and you knew it was a pit bull. How did you know it was
57:13 a pit bull chew on that one. Next quick hitter here, scientists claiming to have resurrected
57:19 the extinct dire wolf. This is according to CNN on April the 8th, a species of wolf that
57:24 died out some 12,500 years ago lives again as the world's first successful de extinct,
57:30 de extincted. That's a word I guess animal. According to Dallas based biotech company
57:35 Colossal Biosciences colossal scientists have created three dire wolf pups by using ancient
57:40 DNA cloning and gene editing technology to alter the genes of a gray wolf, the prehistoric
57:45 dire wolves closest living relative the company announced Monday. The result is essentially
57:49 a hybrid species similar in appearance to its extinct forerunner. So big takeaways here
57:53 at first one here. These are not dire wolves. Why are people pretending like these are dire
57:59 wolves? I know some of you watch Game of Thrones, you think dire wolves are cool. Like, oh,
58:03 this is this big, you know, ominous white wolf. It's not a dire wolf. This is a hybrid wolf.
58:09 They took DNA and they they kind of just made this thing. That's that it's a gray wolf.
58:14 That's going to have a different color hair. This is similar to when you breed dogs. How
58:19 is a golden doodle thing, right? That's not a thing that would have probably happened
58:24 in nature. That's something that was created, right? So these these just aren't dire wolves.
58:28 So we need to kind of stop talking about like they are. But the big question about this
58:32 is why even do this? What is the motivation to do this? Because we hear people thinking
58:37 about, Oh, we need to bring back mammoths and we need to bring back all these other different
58:40 things. Because it makes sense that animals that are supposed to go extinct, go extinct.
58:48 And that there is a particular reason that they are extinct now. And so that if you try
58:53 to interject those animals back into an ecosystem, similar to what I was talking about with the,
58:58 you know, wolves that have a taste for cattle and elk that they just put in Colorado because
59:02 they are morons. Like this could cause some major issues, right? This could cause some
59:07 big time issues. Because guys, anytime that you start messing with artificial life, it
59:11 could be problematic. Like this is a playing God scenario. Like this isn't just going to
59:15 be a random net positive. Like we think we can control this, but it's just like, I think
59:21 the movie Jurassic Park, it holds up, it's a beautiful movie, even what 30 years later.
59:25 But like there are issues when you start playing God with these certain areas and you're just
59:28 like, there's not just going to be a non impact of you trying to do these types of things.
59:33 Okay, there's going to be a negative impact. I just don't think we should be messing with
59:36 it. All right, next one here, the UK Supreme Court ruling that trans women are not actually
59:40 women. According to USA Today on April the 16th, the United Kingdom's highest court ruled
59:45 on Wednesday that the definition of a woman under equality legislation referred to biological
59:50 sex. But it said trans people would not be disadvantaged by its landmark decision. The
59:54 Supreme Court's judgment related to whether a trans woman with a gender recognition certificate
59:58 a formal document that gives legal recognition of someone's new gender is protected from
1:00:02 discrimination as a woman under Britain's Equality Act. The landmark case is the latest
1:00:07 example of the wider debate around transgender rights ending up before the courts big takeaway
1:00:12 on this one. Another breaking news, water is wet. We live in the dumbest time in human
1:00:15 history where a Supreme Court of a major country in a major economy had to tell you no men that
1:00:22 dress up with women men that have a fetish looking at themselves in the mirror with makeup
1:00:26 on and long hair and painted nails. These gnar are not actually women. This is so ridiculous.
1:00:31 Why are we even talking about this? Next one here, FBI senior leadership using an internal
1:00:35 gag order to cover up the Biden Hunter Biden laptop story. This is according to the New
1:00:39 York Post. The FBI knew the post had received a hard drive copy of the laptop from Donald
1:00:43 Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani because it had covert surveillance warrant on the former
1:00:48 mayor's iCloud. On October the 14th of 2020, the morning the story was published and FBI
1:00:54 analysts confirmed to Twitter that the laptop was real, but his bosses then admonished him
1:00:59 and lamented the one message and limited in one message that he won't shut up. Another
1:01:04 message shows that an FBI attorney slapped a gag order on any discussion of laptop. Please
1:01:08 do not discuss Biden matter. The lawyer tells one FBI employee whose name is redacted. Big
1:01:13 takeaway on this one. Everything is just a conspiracy theory until it's not. Okay. Now
1:01:18 some of you will be like, well, what would you say about libertarians and Dave Smith?
1:01:21 Okay. This is one of those things that we were told by plenty of people that used to
1:01:25 work in the FBI and CIA and all that that this was Russian disinformation misinformation,
1:01:31 right? The Hunter Biden laptop, there was no there there. And we also know that that
1:01:34 could have changed the outcome of the 2020 election if this was covered in a way that
1:01:39 it would have been covered had it been, you know, the son of Donald Trump's laptop, right?
1:01:44 This was real from the beginning. We all knew it was real from the beginning. And the FBI
1:01:49 knew it was real before the public even knew it existed. Okay. But this is just another
1:01:54 one of those things that happened back in 2020. It's kind of like any COVID information
1:01:57 that comes out now. So something that was conspiracy theory and just lamented and lambasted
1:02:01 now is being confirmed. And it's kind of like, it's kind of floats through the news cycle
1:02:06 just in and out. And we just don't hear about anymore. And we just kind of go on with our
1:02:10 everyday lives because we're like, well, can we do it several years ago? Well, what we
1:02:13 can do is we can think about that the next time we're told something by our moral betters
1:02:17 in the government, right? Especially if they're ran by a democratic administration, right?
1:02:21 To be like, yeah, I'm gonna take that a little bit with a little bit of a grain of salt.
1:02:24 Okay, let's get to the last one here. I've been excited to talk about this one. So some
1:02:28 of the best jujitsu advice that you could ever get. So this advice is going to come
1:02:31 from Jeff Glover. So Jeff Glover is a is an OG jujitsu guy. He has kind of different philosophy
1:02:37 on jujitsu. He's taught several seminars at the forge, my gym here in Edmond, Oklahoma.
1:02:42 You know, he's a smaller guy. And so his jujitsu has to be fairly different and his technique
1:02:45 has to be fairly sharp, because if he's doing these, you know, super fights against guys
1:02:49 that could outweigh him by 100 pounds, like he's got to be able to withstand that. So
1:02:53 we're going to go to a clip here. And I just want you to hear what he's talking about whenever
1:02:57 he's talking about jujitsu. I don't know how to answer that question. I don't really
1:03:02 do MMA. If I was going to do MMA, it's more like old school, greasy style jujitsu, you
1:03:08 know, like come here. MMA is more like keep the person so close and close guard like this
1:03:16 that they can't hit you with their left hand. If he tries to hit me with his right hand,
1:03:19 we block and set up triangle. Alright, that should be like one of the first lessons you
1:03:24 teach a student. They come into jujitsu. The first before you teach them sport jujitsu,
1:03:30 you got to teach them don't get punched to death jujitsu, right? That's like on the feet,
1:03:38 stand up. That's like on the feet. You got to do the hoist-gracy lesson, the like distract
1:03:43 and clench them up a little before they can punch you or stay so far out of the range
1:03:48 that they can't punch you. Like come at me, stay so far out of the range that they can't
1:03:51 hit you, right? But if they shorten that distance on you, you got to clench. Students need to
1:03:57 know that. That as jujitsu people, we don't stand in the mid range and exchange punches
1:04:01 with somebody because we're not boxers. We're jujitsu people unless you like boxing and
1:04:06 you want to stand there and exchange with somebody. But if you know that's going to
1:04:08 be a losing battle, why do it? Right? That's where gracy style jujitsu comes in.
1:04:14 So right to my big takeaway on this one, the best quote from Jeff Glover in this clip is
1:04:20 before you teach him sport jujitsu, you've got to teach him don't get punched to death
1:04:25 jujitsu. Okay. So let me let me explain this for people because people that do jujitsu
1:04:29 will kind of understand this. But even if you don't, you should be able to. So there's
1:04:33 some very, very fancy styles of jujitsu that don't translate well to a real life scenario.
1:04:38 Okay. There are certain positions that you can get in. This is especially true for guard
1:04:42 players. Maybe you're a guard player, you prefer to be on your back for whatever reason
1:04:45 that if you get there and stay there in a jujitsu match, you're probably in a good spot. You may
1:04:51 even be in a dominant spot. But in a real life fight situation, you're going to get probably
1:04:56 beaten to death. You might be able to get stabbed. So that's why when you watch combat
1:05:00 jujitsu matches, that's where you can use open hand strikes, palm strikes against your
1:05:04 opponent. There are certain positions that people just won't stay in, right? That's
1:05:08 one thing that I encourage people with their jujitsu, especially when you're working a
1:05:11 guard move, like a pass or setting up some sort of a sub or something like that. Just
1:05:15 do a class where the guy in guard has big gloves on 16 ounce gloves and he's given you
1:05:20 like 50% punches, right? So not full off like trying to kill you, but just 50% punch
1:05:25 is trying to keep you honest. Okay. And this is why I try to tell people to prioritize
1:05:29 real world jujitsu, okay? Prioritize real world jujitsu because I tend to agree with
1:05:37 kind of the Gracie, the old school Gracie guys with guys like Chad Robashow, guys like
1:05:41 Tim Kennedy. These are guys that are, you know, multi level black belts, third and fourth
1:05:46 degree black belts. They've been doing this for 30 years or so, but they don't spend a
1:05:50 whole lot of time in positions and drilling positions that are disadvantages. They spend
1:05:56 a lot of time drilling positions where they are having the advantage. So in a real fight,
1:06:00 you don't want to be on your back because there's not a mat underneath you. It's likely
1:06:04 asphalt, right? Or concrete. And so you don't want to be throwing, you know, throwing up
1:06:10 flying triangles and flying arm bars and things like that. You don't be rolling under for
1:06:13 Baron Bolo and trying to get into some sort of leg entanglement. That's just not really
1:06:17 something you should do. You should be able to get someone to the ground and hold them
1:06:22 in a position probably like a neon belly or a mount or a gift wrap or something like that
1:06:26 and wait for help to arrive. And your heads up, you can kind of see if your, this guy's
1:06:30 got a buddy that's trying to kick your head into the next county. Like you're good to
1:06:34 go. I'm not saying you shouldn't do sport jujitsu, sport jujitsu can be a lot of fun.
1:06:38 I'm not saying you shouldn't watch these Instagram videos of people hitting these fancy moves.
1:06:42 It's always cool to learn a fancy move or two that actually works with your jujitsu game.
1:06:46 But just remember when you're drilling, remember when you're rolling a practice and even remember
1:06:50 when you're competing, what if this were a real fight? Because again, for me personally,
1:06:55 I'm not trying to win a bunch of $20 metals. If you want to compete, I am pro that compete.
1:07:02 If you want to be a professional at jujitsu and that's your goal, two thumbs up, you do
1:07:06 you boo. Like I, I'm there with you and guess what? I will help you train and I will help
1:07:10 you get ready for those tournaments and all that. But for me, for a guy that gets to train
1:07:14 as much as I get to train for a guy that's at my age and at my skill level as I'm making
1:07:20 my way towards black belt, I'm going to prioritize jujitsu that works. And speaking of fighting
1:07:26 that works, guys, I've told you this a bunch, but again, we get new listeners every week.
1:07:31 Please train real fighting styles for the love of God, train real fighting styles that
1:07:36 you can actually train. Okay? Because I've been told by people, Hey, I train kung fu,
1:07:41 I train taekwondo, I train karate, I train krav maga, I train all these different things.
1:07:46 And the thing is, is those fighting styles do have some applicability. Okay, that they
1:07:51 do. Now, krav is a little bit different because I know, you know, Israel, like they created
1:07:56 and all that kind of stuff. But you can't technically train it because krav involves
1:08:00 like eye gouging and fish hooking and like raking of the testicles and like all this kind of
1:08:05 stuff. You can't train that, right? It's like, all right, guys, do three sets of eye gouging,
1:08:09 right on your partner. Like that, that's going to be a really short class. Okay, lots of
1:08:12 doctors visits. But let's use mixed, mixed martial arts as a standard. Okay. So for those
1:08:21 of you that are MMA fans, let's just stick with the UFC because that's the main dominant
1:08:24 hegemon in this, in this, you know, world of MMA. Okay, which UFC fighters primary fighting
1:08:31 styles are Taekwondo or karate or Wing Chun or Krav Maga. Can you name one? I think there's
1:08:43 like 500 plus fighters on the roster of the UFC. Can you name one guy whose primary fighting
1:08:48 style is one of those things? It just doesn't work. And MMA is the closest thing that you
1:08:55 will get to a street fight scenario. Again, it's formalized. There's gloves, there's rules,
1:08:58 there's things you can and can't do, right? But it's the closest thing to real fight.
1:09:03 Now do guys like Yair Rodriguez or Stephen Wonder Boy Thompson or some of these guys,
1:09:08 do they have some of these different kind of like interesting techniques? Yes. But that's
1:09:11 not their primary fighting style. The primary fighting styles are jujitsu, wrestling, Western
1:09:17 boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai. That's it. And I have heard all people also say to me,
1:09:25 you know, well, Kyle, in a street fight, all bets are off, right? So like, you know,
1:09:30 we don't need to be training stuff like in a ghee with rules and all that. We need to
1:09:34 be like doing real training. Well, guys, that just means those fancy striking styles,
1:09:39 all this like spinning kicks and elbows and all that kind of stuff. That's even less realistic
1:09:45 in our real fight because guys, I mean, how many fights have you seen where guys are just
1:09:48 standing up, you know, moving around like point fighting or something like that? That's
1:09:53 not a real thing that happens. If fights get dirty, it's going to end up on the ground.
1:09:58 Guys, and if you don't know how to fight on the ground, you're going to get killed.
1:10:02 Maybe literally or figuratively, like that's what's going to happen. And so I am pro,
1:10:07 you know, you learning stuff on the feet, but it's got to be like real stuff. It's got
1:10:10 to be Western boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai. It's got to be real stuff like that. Because
1:10:13 here's the thing, I was talking to someone about Chroma guy the other day, I was like,
1:10:16 okay, send your crop instructor to my gym, and we'll do an MMA round. Okay. We'll just
1:10:23 do bare knuckle MMA round. Because guess what? One of his fancy strikes is going to have
1:10:28 to knock me out before I close the distance. Because once I close my distance and get my
1:10:34 hands on you, I will take you to the ground. I will pass your non-existent guard. I will
1:10:40 mount you and then I will elbow you until you tap or give up your back. And then I choke
1:10:44 you. And I'm not high level. I'm a brown belt. But like, again, guys, when you talk about
1:10:49 it, there are people that have been black belts for longer than I've been training jujitsu.
1:10:54 So I'm not a high level guy. I'm not an MMA fighter. But like this idea that these fighting
1:11:01 styles actually work against somebody that knows the ground game is foolish. But also,
1:11:07 there are guys that are ground fighters, wrestlers, you know, jujitsu guys that don't know anything
1:11:14 on the feet. So you do have to be prepared for that situation as well. Because guess
1:11:18 what? If you can't get someone to the ground, or if you jujitsu game is predicated on pulling
1:11:22 guard, which I'm not a huge fan of, but if that's what your game is and you can't control
1:11:27 where the fight takes place, you better know some stand up. Again, don't train stand up
1:11:31 things that don't don't work in real life train, you know, Western boxing, kickboxing
1:11:34 and Muay Thai. But like, again, guys, if you're going to be a complete person in terms of
1:11:40 being able to defend yourself and defend others, you have to be realistic about things that
1:11:44 work and that don't work. And Jeff Glover, who is a super high level guard player, like
1:11:49 black belt type guy, he is thinking in terms of what's going to work in a real situation.
1:11:54 And he's big on sports, jujitsu. But again, if you don't learn the jujitsu that keeps
1:11:58 you from getting punched to death, you're going to be at a disadvantage. All right, guys, I'll
1:12:02 do for today, I appreciate all of your attention. But before we go, we are going to do a quick
