00:00:00.900 Popular children's YouTuber Miss Rachel is promoting Pride Month, and so is a member of
00:00:06.040 her team, even inviting her young audience to a very inappropriate Pride event in Chicago.
00:00:14.380 We've got all of this, a biblical response to it, and much more about Pride Month on today's
00:00:21.460 crazy episode of Relatable. It's brought to you by our friends at Good Ranchers. Go to

00:00:39.380 Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Tuesday. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far.
00:00:46.480 Yesterday we covered the Trump verdict. We were as thorough as we possibly could be in the short
00:00:52.380 amount of time that we had, and I try to keep every episode under an hour. As you know, I typically
00:00:58.640 fail at that. And yesterday we were also supposed to talk about Miss Rachel and some Pride Month
00:01:05.060 updates, and we were not able to even get into that. So we are going to dedicate today's episode
00:01:11.580 to all of that and do our best to give a biblical response to the craziness. My hope when we talk
00:01:17.860 about all the depravity that is on display, especially during Pride Month, but really all
00:01:23.360 the time, is to not leave you in a place of despairing for your child's future or your own
00:01:29.380 future. I don't want you to, in an episode like this, just feeling sad and feeling powerless and
00:01:35.700 feeling hopeless because no matter what, we're not hopeless. No matter what. I don't care how crazy
00:01:41.080 things go and how chaotic things get, we're not hopeless. We're not as people who have nothing
00:01:50.000 to look forward to. We have something to hang our hat on, and that is Jesus Christ and His sure
00:01:56.100 victory. And so we are going to give our biblical response to this, the exciting opportunity that we
00:02:02.300 have as the church to be a city on a hill, to be light in the darkness, to be salt that adds
00:02:10.200 preservation for good things and adds flavor to good things and to make an impact on the tiny spot
00:02:18.440 of eternity and the limited plot of universe that God has providentially placed us on. So we'll get
00:02:26.700 into a lot of this depravity and craziness, but just remember, we're going to come out of it and we are
00:02:32.400 going to be reminded of God's complete sovereignty and also our special opportunity as Christians in
00:02:38.640 such a dark age. But before we get into it, let me make a little announcement. This is for the
00:02:43.960 Related Bros and actually for the Related Gals with a Related Bro in their life in honor of Father's
00:02:50.060 Day, which is coming up in just a couple of weeks. We do have hats that are for the Related Bros.
00:02:55.460 Two different kinds of Related Bros we're appealing to here. So we've got the range leather hats,
00:03:00.880 and you see that if you're watching on YouTube on the outside there. And those are salmon,
00:03:06.160 and I don't have it in front of me right now, so you'll just have to look at the graphic.
00:03:09.840 And we've talked about before being a form of like human salmon. We are the ones that are swimming
00:03:15.440 upstream. We are doing the hard things of going against the current of our crazy culture. That
00:03:22.160 symbol of a salmon is just to remind us that even when it's difficult, even when we are swimming
00:03:26.660 upstream, even when it would be easier to turn around and just be like every other kind of fish,
00:03:32.460 that it is worth swimming upstream. And so we've got the little leather patches on the front of
00:03:38.700 those trucker hats. And then we have these hats, which are like flat bill hats. I don't know
00:03:44.240 how to describe the kind of guy, maybe a little bit trendier, more artistic guy, but do the next
00:03:51.780 right thing. They're on the front of these caps, which I really like. I'm going to be wearing these
00:03:55.780 myself. It's the acronym, do the next right thing. These are actually stitched on there.
00:04:00.440 So really high quality. I love these. We've got navy, we've got black and white. So we've got the
00:04:07.740 salmon, we've got the do the next right thing. It's kind of like, if you know, you know, kind of
00:04:12.260 deal. So that's for the Related Bro. Go to AllieMerch.com. You can also use code Allie10 for 10%
00:04:19.060 off your order. So a little bit of a discount there. Go to AllieMerch.com. Let's see, only other
00:04:25.100 announcement, a couple other things before we get started. If you love this podcast, please leave us a
00:04:29.740 five-star review wherever you listen on Apple Podcasts. Make sure you subscribe to YouTube as
00:04:35.040 well and click the little bell so you get a notification every time we upload a video.
00:04:39.660 Also, the only other thing is, I was just going to say to my YouTube viewers, I forgot lipstick today.
00:04:44.520 I don't know if you guys can notice or not, but I typically wear lipstick, which is kind of
00:04:48.500 important when you're in front of all these lights on camera. You can feel washed out. Hopefully,
00:04:53.240 it does not assault your eyes so much. And you can get through this video without my lipstick on.
00:05:00.080 But some of you are so sleuthy out there that you always notice when something is different.
00:05:04.980 So if I look different today, it's because I forgot my lipstick. Okay, let's get into the craziness
00:05:10.200 that's going on. We got to talk about Miss Rachel. If you follow on Instagram, you already saw my
00:05:15.160 response to Miss Rachel and what she has said about Pride and how she bases her celebration of Pride
00:05:23.180 Month on her Christian faith. But I need to get into a lot more about Miss Rachel and her background
00:05:29.680 and who she is and all of the clues that we had about what she believes that have led up to her
00:05:36.220 announcement of her celebration of Pride. And some of you have no idea who Miss Rachel is. So I need
00:05:41.920 to fill you in on all of that and why this really matters. So if you don't know, Miss Rachel is an
00:05:49.500 extremely popular YouTube channel, or she has an extremely popular YouTube channel filled with
00:05:56.020 toddler and baby learning videos. She has over 10 million subscribers, which is just insane, incredible.
00:06:03.920 And this is not a personal attack on her at all. Like I want to give her credit where credit is due.
00:06:10.560 It is not easy to build a platform of that many faithful subscribers. And she has not just
00:06:18.860 subscribers, but raving fans, people who will go to bat for her. And that's because what she offers
00:06:24.420 is really unique. She's not just doing alphabet songs. You can kind of get that anywhere. She is
00:06:30.580 offering that, but she is also offering speech help to kids who need it. And that can be really tough.
00:06:37.880 Not everyone has the resources to access speech therapy. Some parents just really have trouble
00:06:45.280 teaching their kids to say their S's correctly, say their R's correctly, say their L's correctly,
00:06:50.400 those kind of common sounds that can trip kids up. And Miss Rachel is able to offer these resources
00:06:57.500 for free to kids who need it. And kids, if you've ever watched a child, watch a child, watch Miss Rachel,
00:07:04.760 you will see that she, just her demeanor, her tone of voice really captures a child's attention.
00:07:12.240 And for busy parents who maybe just need 30 minutes a day while they're making dinner,
00:07:17.360 they just need that, you know, peace and quiet for a little bit. Miss Rachel has really been a help
00:07:22.740 for them. And I would say mostly her content is edifying and educational. So that's how she has built
00:07:29.040 this incredible platform. Now, I know some of you out there, I've heard from you, you don't like her.
00:07:33.580 You've always seen, you know, some of you have said seen something off about her. You don't like
00:07:38.100 the content that she brings to the table. And that's fair. Of course, with every single person
00:07:42.560 out there, you're going to have differing opinions. I will say personally, we've never watched Miss
00:07:46.900 Rachel. And this was like, even before I knew anything about her that was progressive that I
00:07:52.740 don't agree with. We just never watched it. I don't know. There's never really been a particular
00:07:57.720 reason for it. I can't say that I saw any indication that I, you know, wouldn't like her,
00:08:02.720 that she's promoting bad values. We just never watched it. According to her YouTube channel,
00:08:07.440 she quote, uses techniques recommended by speech therapists and early childhood experts to help
00:08:12.500 children learn important milestones and preschool skills. She has a master's in music education from
00:08:20.860 NYU. She is also getting her master's right now, it says, in early childhood education. She has at
00:08:30.900 least one child. I don't know how many children she has, but I know she has at least one child
00:08:34.100 that struggled with speech himself. And I think that's kind of what inspired her to start this
00:08:40.140 channel. But I noticed, I think it was a couple years ago, maybe it was a year and a half ago,
00:08:45.580 that she, I started hearing about her and I started hearing about people promoting her a lot. I think I'd
00:08:52.400 heard of her before, but I didn't realize how popular she was getting. And as I was going through
00:08:57.260 some of her videos, just myself and looking through her Instagram page, I noticed the promotion of her
00:09:04.180 particular character or person in her videos that looked like they were trying to present themselves
00:09:12.700 as androgynous, which led me down a path to researching more of not only who Miss Rachel is,
00:09:19.200 but what she promotes and the team that she promotes and what their stance is on things like pronouns and
00:09:27.040 gender ideology. And what I found a couple years ago really surprised me, which is what inspired me to
00:09:33.260 talk about it way back then. But now, um, it has become a topic of conversation among conservatives
00:09:38.720 again, which I think is important. So
00:09:41.860 Okay, so before we back up into all of that, that, uh, kind of rabbit hole, I went down a couple years
00:10:00.980 ago, we'll start from the most recent in it, why we are even talking about Miss Rachel now, and then
00:10:07.860 we'll back up from there. Um, so Miss Rachel recently posted this video on her Instagram account at the
00:10:15.460 beginning of June, which is considered to the pagans pride month. Here is top five.
00:10:22.200 Pride to all of our wonderful families and friends this month. And every month I celebrate you. I'm so
00:10:30.280 glad you're here. I'm so glad you're exactly who you are. To those who are going to comment,
00:10:35.960 they can't watch the show anymore because of the support. No worries and much love your way.
00:10:41.000 God bless. I am not chasing fame or views. I'm standing strong in love.
00:10:48.160 Okay, so that was her initial post. And I guess she got some blowback from that. Most of the comments
00:10:53.920 that I saw in the video were very positive because a lot of people in the world are liberal. I mean,
00:11:00.580 there are literally parents, as we'll talk about in a few minutes, uh, who take their kids to drag
00:11:05.160 shows and think that they are teaching their children great values of inclusion and love rather
00:11:11.320 than perversion and depravity. I mean, it's a mentality that I can't understand, but a lot of
00:11:16.420 those parents exist. And then there are parents who aren't that extreme, but who simply believe that,
00:11:22.460 um, being LGBTQ so-called is who someone is. And therefore we need a month or several months out
00:11:31.880 of the year to celebrate people's sexual preferences. There's a lot of people, even those
00:11:38.080 who identify as Christian who align with that mentality. And Ms. Rachel calls herself a Christian
00:11:43.340 as well. And she actually says that it is her Christian faith that inspires her to celebrate
00:11:48.140 something like pride. Here's thought six. I've shared prayers on here before and said,
00:11:53.640 God bless. And that's because my faith is really important to me. And it's also one reason why I
00:11:59.800 love every neighbor. In Matthew 22, a religious teacher asked Jesus, what's the most important
00:12:06.360 commandment? And Jesus says to love God and to love your neighbor as yourself. All the law and the
00:12:12.440 prophets hang on these two commandments. There's no greater commandments than these. I believe it's
00:12:16.560 mentioned eight times. Love your neighbor. So yes, everyone belongs. Everyone's welcome. Everyone
00:12:21.600 is treated with empathy and respect. It doesn't say love every neighbor except. There are so many
00:12:27.640 reasons I stand strong in love. I stand with everyone. Look, I think that she is a sincere person. I think
00:12:36.900 that she is a very sweet seeming person. Obviously, I don't know her personally, but she seems genuine.
00:12:43.820 However, it is possible to be genuine and wrong. You can be genuinely wrong. It's possible to be
00:12:49.680 sincere and wrong and be sincerely wrong. And of course, that is where she stands when it comes to
00:12:57.000 an attempt at theologically defending, celebrating something like pride. Of course, pride comes before
00:13:03.600 destruction, but also celebrating pride in what God calls sin, what God calls destructive for the
00:13:13.600 body, soul, and mind. This is what I've referred to several times on this show as toxic empathy. It's
00:13:22.420 this idea that in order to truly love someone, you must not only place yourself in their position,
00:13:29.420 but you must affirm all of their feelings and therefore affirm and celebrate their sin. And this is not the
00:13:36.800 Christian definition of love. And I know I sound like a broken record because we've talked about this so
00:13:41.720 many times, but you never know who's listening to this or watching this who has never heard this
00:13:45.940 before. And the word of God is always worth repeating. Love is not defined by us. We hear the
00:13:53.420 circular mantra, love is love. Well, that doesn't mean anything. It's the same math. It's the same illogic
00:14:00.000 as trans women are women. Well, what is a woman? What is love? Love can't just be love. That means that
00:14:08.280 love could be anything. That means it could be lust. That means it could be stalking. That means it could
00:14:12.480 be some form of predation. It could just be a fleeting feeling. It could just be romance. If love
00:14:19.200 is love, then it really is just subjective. It's based on whatever we feel in the moment, which is not
00:14:26.620 really a comfort, by the way, and it's not really a stabilizing force. But if there is a transcendent
00:14:33.580 being who created love, then there is a being who defines love. And of course, that being is God
00:14:40.020 because 1 John 4, 8 tells us that God is love. We don't read that love is love. We don't read that
00:14:47.020 we are love. We read in 1 John 4, 8 that God is love. And if God is love, this is an incredible
00:14:53.840 statement when you think about it, that God is love, not just that he created it, not just that he defines
00:14:58.780 it, but that he is love. And of course, that also means that he defines it. And he is so gracious to
00:15:04.120 tell us exactly what it is. We get to read in 1 Corinthians 13 what love is. Love is patient.
00:15:12.140 It is kind. And there are many descriptors of love in that chapter. Love does not rejoice in wrongdoing,
00:15:19.980 but rejoices with the truth. So that is an important distinction from this secular,
00:15:29.140 mushy definition of love and toxic empathy and biblical love that is defined by the God who is
00:15:37.740 love and who created and defines it. That love does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
00:15:45.360 Homosexuality, according to the Bible, according to the creator of the universe who loves us so much
00:15:51.980 and made us in his image is wrongdoing. It is sin. And Romans 1, we read that so clearly that it's not
00:15:58.680 just the act that is sinful, but it is actually the desire that is also disordered. But thankfully,
00:16:07.000 we also read in 1 Corinthians 6 that there is redemption from that, that there is a salvation from
00:16:13.060 all forms of sin, but such were some of you, we read, but you were washed, you were sanctified,
00:16:20.480 you were justified by Jesus Christ, that the gospel is for you, no matter what your sin is,
00:16:26.200 no matter what your struggles are, no matter what your attraction is, that all of us are at one point
00:16:34.600 bound to our sin, slaves to our sin, following as Ephesians 2 says, the prince of the power of the air,
00:16:42.320 the spirit that is now at work right now in all the sons and daughters of disobedience.
00:16:47.620 But we in Christ can be made alive in him by the grace of God through faith in Christ. We can be
00:16:56.460 made alive. We can be made new. We can be made new creations. Apart from Christ, we are enemies of
00:17:02.380 God. But by grace through faith in Christ, we can be reconciled to a holy God. We can be made a son
00:17:09.900 and a daughter of God. We can be co-heirs of God's inheritance with Christ. We get the guarantee
00:17:16.940 of salvation of heaven forever. We get liberation and freedom from our sin right now. Yes and amen.
00:17:26.080 That is love. That is love. Not affirmation of the sin that is killing you. Not celebration of the sin
00:17:34.840 that is harming your body and your mind and your soul according to the God who created your body,
00:17:40.100 mind, and soul. So this form of so-called love that Miss Rachel is preaching, it sounds really good.
00:17:47.500 It even sounds good to me. Okay? Like, I'll admit that. If I did not, by the grace of God,
00:17:55.260 have the convictions that I have and know what I know about scripture and feel what I feel and believe
00:18:00.420 what I believe about the gospel, then this message that Miss Rachel preaches would sound really
00:18:06.760 attractive to me. Why? Because it's easy. And I like easy. I like convenient. I like comfortable.
00:18:13.560 I don't like to be swimming upstream. I don't like to be set against the world. I don't like to be
00:18:19.080 called a bigot. I don't like to be called these names. I don't like to be accused of not having
00:18:24.200 empathy or being hateful. I don't like that. I would so much rather be celebrated by the vast
00:18:31.220 majority of the world. I would so much rather get the applause of all of these people who claim
00:18:40.060 that being tolerant or celebrating sin is the highest virtue or this toxic empathy is the highest,
00:18:49.400 most transcendent value, most transcendent value, because that would be easier. That's what I want
00:18:53.340 in my flesh. And yet, I know and I understand that God's ways are better. They're harder in a lot of
00:19:05.040 ways, but they're better. They have an eternal reward that comes with them. But also, I have seen
00:19:14.700 the freedom and the joy and the satisfaction that Jesus brings when he rids us of the burden
00:19:22.460 of our sins and of our struggles. We have a way out of temptation. We have a way out of that enslavement
00:19:31.600 to sin. And that is love. You cannot say that you believe in the gospel, that Jesus has saved us from
00:19:40.420 our sin and also celebrate and affirm someone's sin. Like either you believe that Jesus died for our
00:19:47.400 sins or you do not. It can't be both. That's why it's really just impossible to have one foot in the
00:19:54.660 world and one foot out. And most people who deny the fundamental reality of male and female
00:20:00.920 and the definition of marriage as defined by the God who created us end up rejecting the gospel
00:20:08.700 altogether if she hasn't already. Like, I would be really surprised if Miss Rachel, who says that
00:20:15.120 she's a Christian, really believes, John 14, 6, that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and that
00:20:20.520 no one comes to the Father except through him. That would be very surprising because, look, as we've
00:20:28.040 said many times, the definition of marriage is in the first chapter of the Bible. The definition of
00:20:34.420 gender is in the first chapter of the Bible. That's how important it was to God. That it's in the creation
00:20:40.080 story. So that we could not claim that these definitions change based on our feelings, based on
00:20:47.000 culture, based on societal whims, based on politics, based on what the law says, because it's rooted
00:20:54.000 in creation. It is pre-civilizational. It is pre-societal. It is pre-law. It is rooted in nature.
00:21:00.640 Genesis 1, 27 says that he made us, in his image, male and female. That is the first marriage. That
00:21:08.700 is the definition of what we are biologically. We get no option to identify as something other than
00:21:16.240 what we biologically are. Right there, he is telling us that our bodies have purpose, that our bodies
00:21:21.320 matter. He is telling us what our bodies can do, which is be fruitful and multiply. It's incredible how
00:21:28.860 many so-called culture war answers or questions are answered in that first chapter of the first book
00:21:35.240 of the Bible. How gracious is God that he has given us so much clarity on all of this confusion in the
00:21:43.720 first chapter. So when you deny something so fundamental, of course, you end up denying the
00:21:49.280 gospel. The gospel is much more controversial than biological reality than what we see in Genesis 1.
00:21:56.500 And so if you're going to deny that, which we can see through common grace, we can see with our
00:22:01.480 eyes, then of course you are going to deny what can really only be discerned through the Holy Spirit,
00:22:07.920 which is the gospel. So that's what ends up happening. And this is, of course, the only form
00:22:13.280 of Christianity that the world approves of because it is not really Christianity. It's just like
00:22:19.200 secular humanism with the few Bible verses thrown in and Jesus as its weak mascot. But that's not
00:22:27.760 Christianity. The Bible starts with a marriage, it ends with a marriage, and I'll just say the
00:22:32.240 alliteration really fast, in case Miss Rachel is listening. The definition of marriage is between
00:22:38.560 man and a woman, is rooted in creation, Genesis 1.27. It's reiterated throughout Scripture. For example,
00:22:43.700 Exodus 20.12, honor your father and mother. It's repeated by Jesus himself in Matthew 19.4-5.
00:22:50.540 It is representative of Christ in the church, Ephesians 5, and therefore it is reflective of
00:22:54.940 the gospel. The Bible starts with a marriage, it ends with a marriage, Christ and his bride,
00:23:00.240 the church. Christ is the bridegroom. The church is the bride. Earthly marriage between one man and
00:23:06.180 one woman is reflective of that. Two men can't reflect the relationship between the bridegroom and the
00:23:11.580 bride. Two women cannot. It is only one man and one woman that can do that. It's a spiritual,
00:23:19.180 eternal reality. It is a fundamental tenet of Christianity. It can't be messed with,
00:23:23.900 not to mention all of the implications for children that rearranging marriage and redefining
00:23:29.200 the family creates. Of course, you are creating forced fatherlessness, you're creating forced
00:23:35.560 motherlessness, the egg selling, the sperm selling, but really all manner of attempting to parent
00:23:43.220 children with two women or two men is robbing a child of their need for a father and a mother,
00:23:48.920 and that is cruel. So if you care about children, then you should care about what is going on there.
00:23:55.980 So that's my full response to Ms. Rachel. Now we actually are going to go into the rabbit hole of
00:24:01.640 who she is and what she has supported for a long time. All right. So Ms. Rachel's sidekick
00:24:18.280 is named Jules, and this is a woman who goes by they them. And actually, there is a video from a
00:24:31.620 stuffed animal in one of the educational videos that they have, and she actually refers to this
00:24:37.360 stuffed animal by they them pronouns. And also, if you go to Ms. Rachel's website, let me make sure
00:24:44.120 that this is still the case because this was the case when we first talked about it a while ago.
00:24:51.280 But on Ms. Rachel's website, if you go to their team member page, you will see that
00:25:00.860 all of the team members have their pronouns by their name. And actually, I'm looking right now
00:25:09.260 and I'm trying to find... Oh, yep. We still got it. So if you go to missrachel.com, you can go to
00:25:15.820 about us and you can go to the team. And Ms. Rachel has her pronouns. We've got everyone that has their
00:25:23.060 pronouns. Then you've got Jules, and you've got they them as the pronouns for this particular
00:25:31.140 individual. And why does it matter that they are stating their pronouns? And they state their
00:25:37.300 pronouns multiple times throughout their bios, which I just think is an odd choice. So why does
00:25:44.220 that matter? Should we even state our pronouns at all? This is a question that I've gotten many times
00:25:49.500 over the years. When you are stating your pronouns, you are assenting to the untrue, nonsensical idea
00:25:55.900 that your gender is something to be declared and chosen rather than something that is innate and
00:26:01.060 observed. So when you state your pronouns, you're assenting to the untrue idea that gender is something
00:26:09.220 to be announced, declared, chosen rather than something that is innate and observed. There may be
00:26:15.920 very few cases in which someone is truly, through no fault of their own, just like androgynous. And
00:26:23.080 those people are made in the image of God just as much as anyone else. And they can't control their
00:26:29.720 hormonal makeup. And maybe they really do need to say, actually, you know what? I am just a very tall,
00:26:37.320 muscular female. This is just who I am. But in every other case, it is not necessary for us to
00:26:45.820 declare our pronouns. Pronouns are representative of our biological reality. This idea that gender and
00:26:53.320 sex are two different things is not true. And I know that even people on the anti-trans ideology
00:27:00.480 side try to separate those two that say that gender is just made up, that it was created by John Money
00:27:06.780 and the queer theorists. And so we should never say gender. We should only say sex. But that's not true.
00:27:12.120 So the etymology of gender goes back hundreds and hundreds of years. It comes from the word genre.
00:27:18.180 Gender is just another category of human beings. So it's just a way of saying, like, this category is
00:27:23.800 a male human. This category is a female human. There's nothing wrong with saying gender. The truth
00:27:27.720 is gender and sex are interchangeable. They mean the same things. I remember the first time in college,
00:27:32.920 I had a professor who was a very androgynous professor, but I just thought she's an androgynous
00:27:38.060 woman. And she was. But I remember her saying in class that, well, gender and sex are two different
00:27:44.840 things. I think I used gender for something. And she tried to correct me on it and said, well,
00:27:48.740 actually, gender means it's different than sex. And I just looked at her and said, no, it's not.
00:27:55.760 They're synonyms. And she didn't say anything. That was back in the day. That was probably 2011
00:28:00.740 before people got the bravery that they have now. They feel so empowered to, like, push back against
00:28:07.840 that. I probably, like, would have failed my class if that had happened in 2020. But back then,
00:28:13.860 the teacher backed down because she was wrong. These two things are not different. They're not
00:28:20.740 separate. That was not created by a queer theorist. The idea of so-called gender identity was,
00:28:27.140 though. And as we have talked about, we'll link some of those episodes that we've done in the past.
00:28:31.600 The history of queer theory, of gender identity, of the idea that a man can become a woman by
00:28:38.500 declaration, that a woman can become a man by declaration, has very dark and perverse and
00:28:45.640 depraved and sexually just perverse roots. It is not grounded in any sort of love or truth or idea
00:29:00.000 of actual, true, healthy liberation. No, not at all. It is perverse. If you look at John Money and Alfred
00:29:08.000 Kenzie and many of the men and women who were writing the scholarly articles and the
00:29:15.580 academic papers about so-called gender identity at the time, they were pedophile apologists.
00:29:22.940 And this is not me just trying to use some kind of dog whistle. This is factually true.
00:29:28.580 And much of the gender ideology that we see today is also being pushed by pedophile apologists. WPATH,
00:29:39.360 the largest organization that offers the guidelines for so-called transition, even for minors, they
00:29:47.140 base much of their research on what they found in chat rooms run by pedophiles. And if you think that
00:29:54.360 that's some conspiracy theory, we will link the episode with Genevieve Gluck, the journalist who
00:29:59.160 did all of this research to uncover this. And a lot of the gender deception that we are seeing today
00:30:05.260 among men, it has nothing to do with thinking that they are women. It has nothing to do with the true
00:30:11.280 DSM-5 definition of gender dysphoria, of persistent, insistent, and consistent feeling like you are in
00:30:17.480 the wrong body as a young boy. That is very rare. It is existent, but it is very rare. It also doesn't
00:30:26.920 justify trying to transition their body or cross-ex hormones or anything, but that is a mental disorder
00:30:33.460 that does exist. But what we are seeing now, this explosion of teenage boys and men all of a sudden
00:30:40.300 announcing that they are the opposite sex, that has to do with sexual depravity, that has to do with
00:30:45.600 sexual perversion, that has to do in so many cases with an addiction to certain kinds of porn.
00:30:52.140 That's what it has to do with. It is a fetish, and they are going through this humiliation ritual
00:30:57.820 that they are forcing the public to participate in. I know that might sound harsh and surely sounds
00:31:04.640 unempathetic, but that's what's going on. So when you state your pronouns, when you call a man she,
00:31:10.440 you are not only lying, which is never loving, you are not only going against the design of their body
00:31:17.540 that God purposely and lovingly and providentially gave them, you are also contributing to this mad,
00:31:25.980 depraved social experiment, which is costing children their bodies. Children as young as 12,
00:31:35.060 young girls as young as 12, getting double mastectomies because they think that they are
00:31:39.400 the opposite sex. Again, if you think that's some conspiracy theory or some fear-mongering,
00:31:45.200 you can do the research for yourself. We've talked about it and cited our sources so many times
00:31:50.260 on this show. Doctors at Kaiser Permanente acknowledging that that is the youngest patient
00:31:57.380 that they have had. Oh my goodness, you're barely even developing at that point. Boys getting
00:32:05.360 chemically castrated. We've had detransitioners on this couch before who as minors started to transition.
00:32:12.400 Um, their bodies irreversibly damaged. Their fertility irreversibly damaged. Daisy Strongin,
00:32:20.160 who has two beautiful children now unable to breastfeed her children. And she is so sad about
00:32:27.540 that because of what adults in her life allowed her to do to her body at such a young age. And I mean,
00:32:36.140 like, where's the recompense for all of that? And you know what started these young people on the
00:32:43.220 path to so-called transition? I say so-called because you can't actually transition your sex.
00:32:48.780 Um, social affirmation, the declaration of pronouns, using their new chosen name, using their new chosen
00:32:56.440 pronouns. There is a form of euphoria, a form of excitement. You get a new kind of attention. You have a
00:33:03.780 new identity. You have a new self. For some boys, it is, um, sexually exciting. For most girls that I
00:33:11.180 know that transitioned, it was actually because, uh, they were sexualized at an early age and they
00:33:18.320 blamed their femininity and their feminine body, uh, for being sexualized. And so that's why they
00:33:24.820 decided to take testosterone. So when you declare pronouns, especially something like they, them,
00:33:31.000 which is just grammatically and physically impossible, that's what you're assenting to.
00:33:35.200 She claims to care about children. This entire movement harms children in the biggest ways,
00:33:40.600 the most fundamental ways, physical, emotional ways. So it's just not possible to truly love
00:33:49.180 children in the true sense and also promote this kind of ideology. Now, this person named Jules,
00:33:55.700 um, this is according to Matt Walsh. He uncovered this, um, also was a part of this pride jam where
00:34:06.320 kids were invited, queer fam pride jam, um, that was supposed to be family friendly. So let me read
00:34:13.500 you some of his thread. He said a day after Ms. Rachel told her audience, she didn't care if they
00:34:18.080 opposed her pride post, which is what she said in so many words, her sidekick, a they, them named Jules
00:34:23.600 performed at the queer fam pride jam. The event was advertised as family friendly. It wasn't here is
00:34:31.300 thought one. Hey, Chicago, it's Jules here, and I'm going to be playing on June 2nd at Millennium
00:34:38.380 Park for pride jam. I really can't wait to hang out with you and your littles. So please RSVP and get
00:34:45.140 your free tickets right now. Okay. See you soon, Chicago. Bye. Okay. So there she is.
00:34:53.440 It's inviting her littles or littles, your littles to this pride jam event. Again, this is someone who
00:35:01.520 works with Ms. Rachel. So she collaborates and makes songs with Ms. Rachel. She identifies as a
00:35:07.120 white non-binary trans mask human. She is just a woman. You can tell, um, she claims that as a two
00:35:14.060 year old, she realized something's not right with her body. At 12, a teacher exposed her to gender
00:35:18.460 ideology, which is just so sad. That is a form of grooming. It is. It is. It's such a shame that no
00:35:25.660 one told her, Hey, like, it's okay to be a girl and to be a woman who doesn't like all traditionally
00:35:34.240 feminine things. It doesn't mean you're trans mask. It doesn't mean you're non-binary, which is just,
00:35:38.660 it's not real. There's no such thing as truly non-binary. And instead she was apparently
00:35:45.780 introduced to gender ideology. Um, her performance of songs about crabs, caterpillars, butterflies,
00:35:53.360 the children. Um, okay. So she performed that song at this fam or pride fam jam event about crabs,
00:36:02.000 caterpillars, and butterflies. And then right after that, the children were subjected to a grown man
00:36:06.380 in a skin tight leopard print onesie with heels, shaking his body around while collecting a dollar
00:36:11.180 bill from a small child. Here's that too.
00:36:13.540 Now I know that there's going to be some crazy people out there who are like, what's wrong with
00:36:37.620 that? That was innocent. What? What? I mean, you saw this person like leaning back, dancing to
00:36:45.820 Spice Girls, collecting money from children, and you will still have insane people out there being
00:36:50.720 like, what? What's the deal? Look, there is no innocent way for a man to dress up as a woman and
00:36:56.080 dance in front of children. Okay. There's no innocuous reason for that ever. There is no pure
00:37:04.060 motivation for a man to want to dress up as a woman. We can stop there. But especially there's
00:37:11.320 no pure motivation for a man to dress up as a woman and dance in front of children. There's no
00:37:14.740 reason for that. I've seen a meme going around recently and it's like, why don't they ever want
00:37:18.720 to dance at nursing homes? Why don't they ever want to like read books to sick people in the
00:37:24.960 hospital? Why is it only kids? Hmm. Why is it only children's library sections? Why is it only
00:37:33.000 kindergarten classes that they want to go in their tight leotards and their fishnet heels and their
00:37:39.560 fake boobs and their, uh, or the fishnet tights and their, uh, high heels and their fake boobs and
00:37:46.720 their bra sticking out? Like, why is it only children that they want to interact with as well
00:37:53.440 they're dressed up as that? If you don't think there's something wrong with this and there is
00:37:56.780 something wrong with you. Okay. And it might be really difficult to reckon with that. It might be
00:38:02.400 really difficult to take a deep breath and really just let yourself think, is it right to force my
00:38:09.600 children to watch a grown man dressed up as a woman shaking his body or dressed up as a woman at all?
00:38:15.560 Like, is that right? Is that helpful? Is that edifying to them? Or does this sow confusion in
00:38:20.060 my child? Or just think about this. Is there something better for them to watch? Is there something
00:38:25.560 more edifying for them to watch? And I know most of my audience, you don't need to be preached to
00:38:29.620 about this because you just instinctively know, but there are some people out there even who call
00:38:35.540 themselves Christians who love Miss Rachel and love this kind of stuff and just don't think
00:38:39.740 that it's harmful. Look, I've said this many times before, but kids naturally put things
00:38:45.140 into categories. And as a mom of three young children, I see this. You don't have to be a
00:38:51.320 psychologist. You don't have to be a child therapist. You don't have to have your master's
00:38:55.400 in early childhood education to realize this. From a very early age, they are seeing distinctions.
00:39:01.540 They are making categories because the entire world is really big and new to them, right?
00:39:05.720 And so they're trying to make things simpler. They're trying to make things smaller. They're
00:39:09.640 trying to understand everything that's going on. And so not only are they figuring out locations,
00:39:15.240 figuring out day and night, figuring out outside inside, figuring out what's okay to eat and what's
00:39:21.240 you're not supposed to eat and you're just supposed to play with. And then they're also
00:39:25.880 figuring out gender distinctions. Oh, that's a mommy. That's a daddy. Does that mommy have a baby
00:39:31.700 in her belly? Like they're always asking these questions. Oh, this is Grammy. This is Papa.
00:39:37.460 That's an uncle. That's an aunt. I'm a girl. That's a boy. They are figuring that out really without any
00:39:43.980 instruction. They're just trying to make sense of their world. And so you see how important it is
00:39:49.220 for us as parents to offer our children clarity when everything is chaotic and confusing to them
00:39:56.560 to affirm the distinctions that they see. And yes, are there nuances that they will learn?
00:40:04.840 Yes, of course. From an early age, they might say only girls wear pink and only boys wear blue.
00:40:10.460 And that is generally true. But just because a boy wears pink one day or purple one day doesn't mean
00:40:17.000 that he's a girl or doesn't mean that he's not masculine, they will learn that. You don't need
00:40:20.600 to teach that to them when they're two and three. They'll figure that out. It's okay for them to see
00:40:24.500 things in black and white. It's okay for them to create these categories. That doesn't mean that
00:40:29.060 they're unloving. That doesn't mean that they're going to go out and hurt people's feelings, which by
00:40:32.820 the way, kids hurt people's feelings all the time. My child asks me when I'm going to have a flat tummy
00:40:37.760 again and you just have to take it into stride. And so it's okay. You don't have to worry so much
00:40:43.220 about them, like figuring out all of the nuances of everything. It's okay for them to have these
00:40:49.060 categories and to offer them clarity. Sowing confusion in the name of tolerance into our
00:40:55.000 children is cruel. It's cruel. It's wrong. It messes with their development. It also messes with their
00:41:00.660 sense of self. No wonder so many kids are struggling today with mental instability. And then what did these
00:41:06.300 children get? What did these parents do? These very loving and affirming parents, they send their kid to a
00:41:12.320 child therapist and put them on medication when they're seven years old. And then that just causes the
00:41:16.880 whole cycle. It's awful. This is what toxic empathy does to people. And I'm sorry, but Miss Rachel is
00:41:22.560 playing a part in all of this. Matt Walsh also reveals more about Jules. He says, when Jules created
00:41:32.420 music for power to the queer children, it donated 100% of the proceeds to the Trevor Project. And the Trevor
00:41:40.220 Project, according to the New York Post, hosted chat rooms, Trevor Project is awful. It's hosted chat
00:41:46.420 rooms where minors talk with adults about graphic sexual fetishes and masturbation in the name of
00:41:53.120 helping gender affirming care. I'm not saying Miss Rachel would overtly support that. She probably
00:42:01.240 wouldn't. But she needs to know what she is helping promote. She is drawing people to this Jules
00:42:08.160 person who is then promoting all of this kind of sexual perversion and depravity. Miss Rachel also
00:42:14.480 has a connection to Dylan Mulvaney. So this is kind of circulating again as a new story. And so people
00:42:32.880 might have thought that this was recent, but this actually happened in February of 2023. We talked
00:42:37.800 about it at the time. I think we talked about it on the show, but I can't find the episode. I'm almost
00:42:43.360 positive that we did, but I at least talked about it on Instagram because it was so crazy. And people
00:42:48.580 got really mad when we talked about it. Like I was like attacking her, asking people to bully her.
00:42:53.940 That's also a manipulation tactic. Just because you announce your disagreement about something,
00:42:58.160 when someone does something publicly and then you say publicly, that's not right. That's not asking
00:43:02.980 people to bully someone. That's not asking for hate. Not at all. Unless you are explicitly doing
00:43:08.400 that, asking for hate, asking for an attack, you're not asking for that. I'm explicitly asking you not
00:43:13.420 to. Do not bully these people. But we are allowed to disagree and state our disagreement, especially when
00:43:18.580 it's harmful to kids. So last year, during Dylan Mulvaney's days of girlhood, you know Dylan Mulvaney as the
00:43:25.880 man who has gone viral for his days of girlhood, which he chronicles on TikTok becoming a girl or
00:43:33.160 like his first days of being a girl. Now this is a grown man, grown man with a five o'clock shadow
00:43:39.760 calling himself a girl. Okay. And many of his depictions of being a girl are like being a
00:43:48.460 caricature of a six-year-old girl. And we're all celebrating this. He's going to get the brand deal.
00:43:53.240 She's going to go viral. And he's also going to get Miss Rachel commenting this on one of his
00:43:58.680 videos. Sometime when you're in NYC, you should be on our show, Songs for Littles. We love you
00:44:04.180 and your singing. Now, I would guess that Miss Rachel realized after this comment that that probably
00:44:11.700 would not be a good idea. That probably would not be a good idea. She can say all she wants to,
00:44:16.400 that she does not care if conservative women, conservative moms leave her audience. I bet she
00:44:23.620 cares just a little bit. Now, maybe she'll prove me wrong. Maybe she will have Dylan Mulvaney on. I
00:44:28.120 promise you that will be a bridge too far for a lot of moms who don't even consider themselves
00:44:33.400 Christian or conservative. Now, for some moms, like the ones that I was talking about earlier,
00:44:38.960 that will be great. They'll love seeing their child looking up to a man who dresses like a little
00:44:45.360 girl. They'll think that that's awesome. But even for the politically independent and some secular
00:44:51.760 people, they'll say, I think there maybe were other talented people out there that Miss Rachel
00:44:58.600 could have chosen to be a guest on her videos and not Dylan Mulvaney. I mean, that's a choice. Again,
00:45:04.740 assenting to the movement that has just wrought so much destruction on so many people. So that is who
00:45:12.860 Miss Rachel is. Now, am I saying that you can't ever watch Miss Rachel or that you can't ever listen
00:45:22.880 to her stuff? I mean, that's up to you. That's up to you. You could think, well, I'm going to keep
00:45:30.060 doing it because me leaving is not going to make a difference. But it's not just about that. It's kind
00:45:36.380 of like with Target, right? We know that Target is a huge corporation. And us boycotting Target,
00:45:42.900 which I have for, I believe, three years now. I have not gone to Target because they started selling
00:45:49.260 chest binders and packing underwear and bathing suits. That was just a bridge too far for me.
00:45:56.800 They could bounce back. Maybe they don't need the however many of us who decided to boycott,
00:46:04.560 and they could stay afloat. But it's not just about that. It's not just about making a difference
00:46:11.140 and making them reverse course, which, by the way, they did a little bit. Not a lot, but they said
00:46:15.600 that they were going to reduce their pride displays for fear of blowback, which, yay. And the Bud Light
00:46:21.580 did the same thing. But it's also just about making better choices ourselves. Now, I've also said many
00:46:28.600 times, I am not perfect at the boycotting thing at all. At all. I do not shop in complete alignment
00:46:37.400 or consume in complete alignment with my values. One would say that it is impossible to do that,
00:46:45.120 maybe, unless you just entirely lived off the land and made your own clothes. But I could do better.
00:46:53.040 It's not like I have to get all of the things that I get. I still use Amazon, for example.
00:47:02.100 And these are also companies that promote terrible things. And so I'm right there with you. I'm right
00:47:08.260 there with you and not being perfect in that. I am a lot more thoughtful than I used to be.
00:47:14.580 I don't buy clothes all the same places that I used to buy clothes.
00:47:17.500 I don't shop everywhere that I used to shop for a variety of things. And some places I just skip out
00:47:26.380 on in the month of June because I know that they are going to be directly and openly promoting all
00:47:34.240 of this depravity. But Target, for me, the reason why I did that is because, one, I was spending too
00:47:41.800 much money there anyway, getting things that I didn't really need. And so a disproportionate and
00:47:48.020 an unnecessary amount of my money was supporting Target, who relies on people like you and me.
00:47:55.820 They rely on the Christian suburban mom. We are their biggest consumer base. We are their biggest
00:48:03.740 demographic. And for me, I just said, you know what? This is a matter of discipline. This is a step
00:48:11.240 into living in alignment with my values. And that is the step that I'm going to take. And I have to
00:48:18.400 say, it feels really good to stop spending money somewhere that you just don't need to shop at and
00:48:25.280 really just hates us. They really just hate us and hate what we believe. And again, it was the selling
00:48:32.560 of the compression tops to young people and the packing underwear and the packing, packing, if you
00:48:40.420 don't even know what that means. I don't even know if I want to say what it is. But also the
00:48:47.200 like, not even just like packing bathing suits, but also the compressing bathing suits. All of these
00:48:53.780 things are different items for boys and girls trying to look like the opposite sex. All of this clearly
00:48:59.340 targeted to kids. That, for me, was like, no, it's too far. Now, Walmart also sells Pride stuff.
00:49:06.160 Obviously, a lot of these corporations do. Although I will say I've seen fewer celebrations
00:49:13.560 of Pride from some of these corporations this year, which is good. I think keep pushing. I saw a poll
00:49:19.800 recently that said that support actually for gay quote unquote marriage is down for the first time in
00:49:27.640 years, which is interesting. I really think that it's because of the craziness of gender ideology
00:49:33.540 that it's forced people to back up and ask, wait, wait, wait, how did we get here? Oh, we got here
00:49:40.580 when we denied the differences between the sexes. When we said, oh yeah, two men together is the same
00:49:48.340 thing as two women together. And you're denying the differences between the sexes in the case of
00:49:55.320 marriage. And of course, that helped build upon the foundation that I think progressive ideology has
00:50:02.560 been pushing for years and years and years, which is that men and women are just interchangeable,
00:50:07.760 that there's no biological innate differences between us. So it goes back a long way, but it
00:50:13.940 certainly made people go back to Obergefell and say, oh gosh, things have changed a lot since 2015
00:50:20.640 so quickly. How do we back all the way up? And also, as we're seeing the horrors of things like
00:50:26.660 surrogacy, it's really making people think a little bit harder about all of this. So keep going.
00:50:30.880 Keep speaking the truth in love. Keep being bold. Keep refusing to assent to their absolute madness.
00:50:39.700 We also got some other toddler experts like Big Little Feelings. They posted encouraging someone to
00:50:48.680 be entirely themselves as the loudest way to love them. And of course, this is a pride post.
00:50:55.100 And what they're trying to say is just affirm, affirm, affirm. But we know, those of us who
00:51:01.480 worship the God who is loved, that that is not the best way to love someone. Again, this is toxic
00:51:07.120 empathy. It's a form of manipulation that tells you that the only way to love someone is to affirm
00:51:13.960 them. It also pushes this lie that what your attractions are and what your sexual feelings are,
00:51:20.040 are who you are, that they define you, that they are your identity. And that is not true.
00:51:26.940 And that's freeing good news. That what you feel, what your attractions are, don't get to tell you
00:51:32.560 who you are. They're not the boss of you. They're not the core to your identity. You are not enslaved to
00:51:39.580 them. And that's amazing. And that is really, really great news, that we are not a slave to our
00:51:48.980 emotions and our feelings, that we can actually look at our biology. We can see our telos, which is
00:51:54.180 our purpose, and we can see what we are made for. And the truth is, all Christians, no matter what your
00:52:00.140 sin struggle is, we are all called to self-control. All of us. We are all called to walk in faith.
00:52:07.180 We are all on a journey of sanctification. And we are all called to glorify Christ in everything we
00:52:14.560 think, say, and do. We are all called away from lust. We are all called away from just giving in
00:52:20.940 to our flesh. That's not to say that all struggles and all sin are exactly the same. They don't all
00:52:28.240 manifest themselves in the same way. Some, I think, are more difficult to battle against than others
00:52:34.100 in some ways. But we are all in a struggle against sin that is empowered by the Holy Spirit. And we are
00:52:40.960 all looking forward to the day when we are made completely new, and we no longer have to be
00:52:47.640 tempted, and we no longer struggle with sin. But until then, we are all working out our salvation
00:52:53.120 with fear and trembling. And that is the good news. That is the loudest way to love someone is to tell
00:53:00.000 them that good news. Sesame Street, they've got their post up. Happy Pride Month from Sesame Street.
00:53:08.880 I just fail to understand why it is important to talk to kids about people's sexual preferences.
00:53:18.380 I mean, I do understand. I do understand because it's predatory. But I fail to understand even how
00:53:25.800 they present some kind of PR reason for it. And so they've got their rainbow flag. Remember,
00:53:35.040 if we can find it, it was like an airline, maybe a Swedish airline or something. And they had like
00:53:42.380 the three seatbelts for you know what I'm talking about. And it was like, it doesn't matter who you
00:53:47.940 click with. And it was like, it was like two ends of the same or like two of the same ends of the seat
00:53:55.480 belt. And then two of the same ends of the other side of the seat belt. And then the seat belt with
00:54:02.600 the only like the ends that actually click together. And it ended up going viral as this
00:54:09.240 horrible example of pride because it's like, but only one works. Only one works. Those two ends of
00:54:18.060 the seat belt don't work. Those two ends of the seat belt don't work. The only kind that works is
00:54:23.360 when you put the proper ends of the seat belts together. Sorry, that's a little bit graphic,
00:54:27.420 even though like we're just implying something. But that's part of this whole thing, right? Is that
00:54:32.640 only one actually works. And they thought that they were being so clever. Well, Walmart is giving
00:54:40.060 Target, as we mentioned. Here is their cool ad, Sot3.
00:54:47.880 Queer people have magic that we can share. We're lucky enough to be in the Walmart pride collection
00:54:54.500 this year. What'll dream come true? It's not every day that I see my products in a Walmart.
00:54:59.820 It's important to me to share my art. No one can make the art that you make. No one can say the
00:55:05.400 things the way you say them. There's a lot of opportunity to uplift with a bit of playfulness
00:55:10.640 and imperfection. The world needs to hear what you have to say and your story.
00:55:15.600 No. There's a reason why they didn't let this person talk. This person that you see right here,
00:55:26.740 there is a reason that he was not showcased in this ad very much because it is very scary.
00:55:34.960 Um, we've got, uh, Anna Parade, the pink mohawk girl that you saw. Of course, if you go to her
00:55:43.540 Instagram, it features mostly naked pictures of herself, along with paintings and drawing of,
00:55:51.160 uh, bare breasts. We will not link her Instagram for obvious reasons. And she's got a sticker that
00:55:57.840 she created, um, that says abortion on it. Uh, Walmart also has a thousand plus items in their
00:56:05.380 pride and their pride collection. One says drag is not a crime. I also think it's a good question
00:56:11.100 to ask, like why all pride stuff is in colors that are attractive to children, like in these rainbow
00:56:19.120 colors. Um, just some more examples of the craziness we've got going on. A call of duty offers
00:56:25.300 transgender bullets as part of downloadable pride month pack, as well as bisexual, pansexual and
00:56:35.240 asexual colors for guns. Why? Why? That's so weird. So weird. Um, well, some of the comments in
00:56:48.360 response to these trans themed bullets on Reddit were disturbing. Not surprising. This is another part of
00:56:54.400 this peaceful, loving community that is, uh, very often pushed down, uh, by the mainstream media.
00:57:02.480 Here's one comment, bro. I would love to blow a bigot's head off with trans bullets, uh, ranged estrogen
00:57:10.000 injection. I've transitioned you to dead kill the haters with gay bullets going to cause some gender
00:57:16.640 issues with well-placed round tonight in the family jewels with these rounds and a few chuds. What
00:57:23.140 you could actually attack bigots in the game with pride ammo now. Um, all right. Again, uh, very
00:57:31.620 disturbing considering how many shooters recently, how many mass shooters have identified as transgender.
00:57:39.920 And this of course is not surprising. Putting your body on cross-sex hormones, um, radicalizing you
00:57:45.460 with a very depraved and awful ideology, of course, is going to inspire violence and people who very
00:57:52.420 often have comorbidities anyway, and were already unstable before they started the transition process.
00:57:58.020 The Lakewood church shooter identified as trans, uh, transgender, the covenant school shooter identified
00:58:03.460 as transgender, the Denver school shooter, the Aberdeen mass shooter. These are all people
00:58:08.180 who identified, um, as transgender. So for call of duty to basically inspire this and encourage this
00:58:15.780 and help them act out their fantasies, at least in a virtual way, of course is extremely dangerous and
00:58:23.780 awful, but this all just goes to show like what pride is and how destructive, um, it can be. Uh,
00:58:31.780 we've also got the publica. This is an outlet. They reported an LGBTQ charity penned a tribute to gay
00:58:38.500 rights pioneer who claimed that pedophiles were being oppressed. So this is a project that is
00:58:46.140 featuring an uncritical tribute to the co-founder of one of the most notorious pro, uh, most notorious pro
00:58:53.300 pederasty groups in the world. This is the LGBTQ history project. Um, it's incorporated as a
00:59:01.580 tax exempt organization. The LGBTQ history project is run by August Bernadikau, who started recording
00:59:08.860 interviews with the pioneers of the gay movement when he was just 13 years old. And so this project
00:59:17.500 has a list of people considered heroes in the LGBTQ movement. And one of the people highlighted
00:59:22.380 is David Thorstad, the co-founder of the North American Man Boy Love Association, also known as NAMBLA,
00:59:29.020 and a former member of the Trotsky Socialist Workers Party. So on the LGBTQ history projects page for
00:59:37.680 Thorstad, he is described as fighting to limit oppression based on sexual preferences. This is
00:59:43.680 where love is love goes. It's where it has always been going. Is that to say that all people who are
00:59:50.780 gay are pedophiles? No, not even most. I'm not saying that I'm saying this is the foundation of the
00:59:57.120 movement. This is what happens when you lose all the parameters around sexuality. You open the door
01:00:03.020 to this kind of perversion. Under Thorstad's leadership, NAMBLA lobbied to abolish the age of
01:00:09.240 consent laws and fought to free men who had been convicted of the statutory rape of children from
01:00:15.180 prison. Thorstad was among the NAMBLA executives named as defendants in the infamous Curly v. NAMBLA
01:00:23.280 litigation in which the organization was represented by the ACLU. The lawsuit was launched in 2000 by the
01:00:31.180 family of a 10-year-old boy who had been raped and murdered by two pedophiles. Thorstad wrote a
01:00:39.740 pamphlet titled Boys Speak on Boy Love. So again, this comes from Alfred Kinsey. This comes from John
01:00:49.200 money. I mean, it doesn't come from them. Of course, pedophilia has always existed. This is where
01:00:55.320 Christians stepped in in the pagan world 2000 years ago and said, nope, nope, nope, no more child
01:01:02.060 exploitation and really changed how the world saw children. It's still our responsibility to this day.
01:01:08.980 And we need to realize that within the LGBTQ movement is the idea that any sexual preference
01:01:16.540 is fine and qualifies as love and that just as being a woman or being a man is a state of mind,
01:01:25.480 so is being a child or adult. Understand that all these things go together. That's why it's not a
01:01:30.460 coincidence that you see so much overlap, unfortunately, between these two ideologies.
01:01:36.160 But thankfully, our federal government is in support of all of this, which we will end the episode talking
01:01:42.360 about that. All right, we've got our Department of State. We've got the State Department
01:01:58.020 posting the Pride Progress flag saying that LGBTQI plus persons in many countries continue to face grave
01:02:07.820 danger. So we've got to protect the spirit of pride and promote respect for the human rights of
01:02:12.340 LGBTQI persons. It's central to the work we do. Central. Central. Do you know what central means?
01:02:18.700 It's central to the work of the State Department to make sure that everyone around the world who
01:02:23.840 likes to have sex with the same sex that they have their quote unquote rights defended. What that means
01:02:29.420 is a form of colonialism and imperialism that the left actually likes. It means the United States
01:02:34.740 blackmailing poor countries into promoting LGBTQ laws and issues by saying, well, if you,
01:02:42.340 promote this depravity, then we will give you more aid. But if you don't, we will take our aid
01:02:48.000 away. That's a practice that the United States implements, has implemented and uses in many poor
01:02:55.480 countries, not just when it comes to LGBTQ laws, but also abortion. Biden's State Department spending
01:03:00.560 millions on foreign LGBTQ events as Pride Month begins. According to the Daily Signal, the State
01:03:06.620 Department is funding an array of LGBTQ Pride events across the globe ahead of June, including
01:03:12.960 in countries that don't want anything to do with this. But the United States is saying, oh, you must.
01:03:18.980 A 2022 LGBTQ film festival the State Department funded in Portugal included films depicting incest and
01:03:24.620 pedophilia. Wow. What do you know? Just one of those coincidences again. Funding pro-LGBTQ events and
01:03:33.960 organizations abroad has become commonplace in Biden's State Department. Under Biden, the department
01:03:38.580 has paid to support queer Muslim writers in India, all two of them, funded ballroom dancing to uplift
01:03:47.660 trans... What? Funded ballroom dancing to uplift transgender youth in Peru. It's important. That's
01:03:56.700 your tax dollars. Shelled out hundreds of thousands of dollars on programs for LGBTQ refugees
01:04:02.540 in Latin America. Spent taxpayer dollars on theatrical productions in an attempt to teach Africans about
01:04:10.020 LGBTQ rights. And they stood up and threw their spears at them, as they should. The Department of
01:04:18.220 Defense Pride Month is a time to come together to honor the contribution to the LGBTQ plus service members.
01:04:24.420 No thanks. National Security Agency, our favorite. Our theme this Pride Month is pride in progress,
01:04:33.820 recognizes that true progress is a journey. We are dedicated to creating a workplace where members
01:04:38.380 of the LGBTQIA plus community can thrive authentically and bring their whole selves to work. No one needs to
01:04:45.480 bring their whole self to work. At most, I want like a third of you at work. Just your best self.
01:04:52.540 I don't need... We don't need to know your whole self. We don't need to know all of that. No one needs
01:04:59.480 to bring your whole self to work at all. Just bring the part that's relevant to the job that you have to
01:05:04.260 do, please, and thank you. Is that too much to ask? I don't think so. So when you pair all of this,
01:05:12.420 the absolute takeover of all of these institutions, the most powerful institutions in the world,
01:05:19.320 but particularly in the United States, with what just happened to Trump, as we talked about yesterday,
01:05:25.360 finding a crime to fit the man that you want to put behind bars, it's a little scary.
01:05:34.740 It's a little scary for the Christian. It's a little scary for those of us who participate in a faith
01:05:42.120 that makes necessary evangelism and speaking. We are not to put the flame, put our candle under a
01:05:56.380 basket, but we are supposed to be seen. We are supposed to be heard. We are not a religion that
01:06:01.860 minds its own business very well. We are a religion that makes change. And that also
01:06:07.960 preaches the gospel to change hearts, to then have a societal and cultural effect. We worship
01:06:14.520 the word made flesh. We are to go and make disciples of all nations. And you know, I saw this thread.
01:06:20.800 I know this is yet again another long episode, but it's encouraging, actually. It was a thread by
01:06:25.920 a liberal. I don't think I've talked about it yet on the show. Have I? I don't know. But it was
01:06:31.580 basically talking about the history of San Francisco. How did San Francisco become gay? How did it become
01:06:36.580 like this gay hub? And it talked about like the men who made their way there without any women. And it
01:06:42.420 just kind of started happening. And there was tons of depravity at the end of the 19th century. Just a
01:06:48.040 lot of gayness already happening there. Well, then these floods basically leveled San Francisco,
01:06:54.400 ruined San Francisco. And in order to help San Francisco rebuild, who moved into San Francisco
01:07:00.180 at the beginning of the 20th century, churches. And when churches came along, and they started
01:07:07.260 rebuilding the city, they said, no more of that stuff. No more of that sexual perversion. No more
01:07:12.300 of that depravity. And so actually, for a while there, as San Francisco was able to rebuild, and as it
01:07:19.220 was able to become this great, big, beautiful, productive, innovative city, it was also moral. It was also
01:07:28.680 Christian in nature because the Christians there actually implemented laws that said, no more of
01:07:33.700 that. And so it just reminded me of what Christianity has been, should be, and could be. Like, I know that
01:07:42.600 today it's so scary when Christians say, oh yeah, we want to use our worldview to influence laws. It
01:07:48.460 shouldn't be scary. That's what everyone does with every worldview, with every vote. They are implementing
01:07:55.820 their worldview into their politics and trying to inform the law based on what they believe. Christians
01:08:00.860 are called to do the same. And when Christians do it, good things happen. Order happens. Productivity
01:08:06.520 happens. And so Christians, do not be afraid to infuse your worldview in your workplace, on the school
01:08:13.040 board, in politics, in the public sphere, of course, with your family. Like, you get to show up with
01:08:21.860 your worldview just as much as everyone else does. And while we still have some semblance of free
01:08:26.240 speech and freedom of religion, we have to do that. That is actually a way to love our neighbor,
01:08:31.540 is to be agents of God's order in everything that we think, say, and do. And let me just remind you,
01:08:38.860 we haven't gone to this chapter in a while, but it's a good reminder in this Pride Month that this is our
01:08:45.960 ultimate hope. This is our ultimate solace. And it's Psalm 37. Go read the whole chapter when you
01:08:50.980 can in your free time. Fret not yourself because of evildoers. Be not envious of wrongdoers, for they
01:08:56.700 will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. Trust in the Lord and do good. Dwell in
01:09:02.920 the land. Befriend faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your
01:09:08.180 heart. Commit your way to the Lord. Trust in him, and he will act. He will bring forth your
01:09:12.880 righteousness as light. Your justice as the noon day. Going on to verse 10. In just a little while,
01:09:19.180 the wicked will be no more. Though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there.
01:09:23.240 But the meek shall inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant peace. The wicked will
01:09:28.680 perish. The enemies of the Lord are like the glory of the pastures. They vanish like smoke. They vanish
01:09:34.380 away. Wait for the Lord and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land. You will look
01:09:42.540 on when the wicked are cut off. The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord. He is their
01:09:49.280 stronghold in the time of trouble. The Lord helps them and delivers them. He delivers them from the
01:09:53.580 wicked and saves them because they take refuge in him. That is who we worship. That is our hope. That
01:10:00.400 is our strength. And remember, the joy of the Lord is our strength. We are not winning people to
01:10:06.480 Christ by constantly being sad and morose and discouraged by the state of the world. It's
01:10:13.300 normal and okay to feel that discouragement, I think, and to feel our sadness. But really,
01:10:18.400 we can lay those concerns at the Lord's feet. And he promises to give us the peace that passes
01:10:23.240 all understanding. And in a world that is so turbulent, that peace is really attractive. So
01:10:28.680 may our peace, may our joy, may our clarity, may our truth, may our boldness continue to be a
01:10:33.280 testimony. And may the Lord use those things to win people to Christ, even in a month as depraved
01:10:39.020 and crazy as Pride Month. All right, that's all we got time for today. We'll be back here tomorrow.
