00:00:00.000 A main Khalif, the Algerian boxer, won a gold medal, but the controversy surrounding Khalif
00:00:06.800 is ongoing now. People who know Khalif are speaking out, saying that, yes, Khalif is
00:00:14.640 indeed male. We will get into all the details on that. Also, Trump and Elon Musk spoke last night
00:00:23.260 on X, and Trump started posting on X. Lots of really important and interesting things. And
00:00:29.580 then also, we will end this episode on a very happy note as we look at some of the Olympians
00:00:35.760 who gave glory to God when they had the platform to do so during the Olympic Games. This episode

00:00:48.360 Hey, guys. Welcome to Relatable. Happy Tuesday. I hope everyone is having a wonderful week
00:01:03.260 so far. Okay. Today is the last day of the week that you will have to bear with us with
00:01:07.700 how this sounds, with how this looks. Hopefully, though, today it's a little more consistent
00:01:12.000 than it was yesterday. I appreciate how gracious you guys always are whenever we have any kind
00:01:17.660 of technical changes or difficulties. Okay, we've got a lot to get through today, but we
00:01:22.580 covered some politics, election politics yesterday, so I didn't want to dedicate today's show to
00:01:27.740 that. I wanted to talk about something that is a little bit more positive, some things that
00:01:32.720 are a little bit funnier and patriotic, but I do, because of some political news yesterday,
00:01:38.880 I have to touch on at least some of it before we get into all of the Olympics things. And that
00:01:44.540 is some big news that Donald Trump is back on X. You'll remember after the January 6th debacle a few
00:01:53.180 years ago, he got off X. He was kicked off X. Remember just the mass censorship that happened
00:02:00.020 after that? Even to people who weren't in any way associated with January 6th, meta, Twitter at the
00:02:08.020 time, took all of these accounts down, censored all of these accounts. Conservative commentators lost
00:02:15.340 like hundreds of thousands of followers right after that. It was very crazy, very dystopian,
00:02:22.020 very scary. And Trump, he was kicked off X. And then when Elon Musk bought X, shortly after that,
00:02:30.000 I think it was, I don't know, several months after he bought X, he actually restored Donald Trump's
00:02:34.580 account. But Donald Trump has Truth Social. And so he posts almost exclusively to that,
00:02:41.340 except for last night. It was a dawn of a new day. And Donald Trump decided, OK, I'm going to reopen
00:02:47.000 my X account and I'm going to host a Twitter Spaces with Elon Musk. And they talked about a variety of
00:02:54.980 things, a range of topics, including the recent assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
00:03:00.760 And while I don't think a Twitter Spaces is going to reach that many people, I know that there are a
00:03:06.700 lot of people on it, but I'm talking about in proportion to the United States, it's a pretty
00:03:12.600 small percentage of people. I still think it's important because we are experiencing, as we have
00:03:20.840 for the past several years, especially in election years, the suppression of certain information
00:03:27.040 and certain vantage points. I've noticed this. Even when I use DuckDuckGo, it is really hard to find
00:03:34.380 information about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. And while I haven't tried this on
00:03:40.760 ChatGPT, someone that I trust, who is not even a conservative commentator, she just said, you know,
00:03:48.300 some of you have been sharing with me that ChatGPT, tongue-tied, will not talk about the
00:03:57.920 assassination attempt. And so you guys can try this if you have tried ChatGPT before. But
00:04:04.140 she just typed in, when was the assassination attempt on Donald Trump? Can you tell me about
00:04:10.820 it? And ChatGPT, this AI bot, said there's never been an assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
00:04:19.040 He has never actually been shot at. There have been security threats. There's been things that
00:04:23.800 his campaign has been worried about, but nothing has actually ever come to fruition. That's really
00:04:28.620 scary. When you try to find a positive story about Donald Trump, a negative story about Kamala Harris,
00:04:34.440 it is very hard to find. Just the other day when I was researching for that graphic that I put up on
00:04:39.660 Instagram, talking about David Daleiden, the new videos that he has released, Kamala Harris going
00:04:45.640 after him when she was AG of California, I remembered that I had seen an article by the New York Post,
00:04:53.740 and I had seen it on Axe, and I wanted to look it up to get the information for this graphic.
00:04:59.440 And so I typed in all the keywords that I could remember, like very exact into DuckDuckGo. I could not
00:05:05.460 find the article. I could not find it at all. In the first, second, third page of my DuckDuckGo
00:05:12.040 search results, I had to go to Axe and find the exact post that I had found by New York Post to find
00:05:18.840 that article. I mean, that is a huge obstacle that we are up against. So all that to say,
00:05:24.020 I do think that the partnership between Axe and Elon Musk and free speech advocates is a really
00:05:33.180 positive one. It's going to benefit conservatives, because as we know, there is such a hefty left-wing
00:05:40.460 bias when it comes to the vast majority of big tech, and conservatives have had to pay the price
00:05:46.260 for that prejudice over the years, which means not only our perspectives don't get out there,
00:05:51.920 in large part, obviously not completely. I'm talking to you guys on YouTube right now, but in comparison
00:05:57.280 to liberal perspectives, but it also means very many times the truth doesn't get out there. When you
00:06:03.160 think about the censorship regime under COVID, and that has a real effect on people's lives,
00:06:08.340 that has a real effect on people's livelihoods, that has a real effect on the direction our country
00:06:12.900 goes. And so even if everything is completely above board when it comes to election day,
00:06:19.360 we still have the kind of tampering that is apparently completely legal by these major
00:06:26.060 multi-billion dollar entities, like big tech, like these major corporations, the mainstream media,
00:06:32.560 academia, all of these entities that are completely in the bag for Kamala Harris. And I don't say that
00:06:38.920 to make you feel discouraged or demoralized or for you to think, well, there's just no reason then
00:06:45.500 to go out and vote. Look, they were all in the bag for Hillary Clinton too. And they'll definitely win 0.96
00:06:51.420 if you don't go out there and vote. I know you've got a lot of people saying, only vote on election
00:06:55.820 day, only vote on election day. I completely disagree with that. You should vote early. Vote
00:07:01.760 as early as you can. Why? Because things happen on election day. Your kid has an emergency dentist
00:07:07.700 appointment. You have a stomach virus. It is a monsoon outside. There's traffic. There are technical
00:07:14.620 difficulties happening at the polling location. The power goes out. A million things could go wrong
00:07:20.480 on voting day. I know that there's this mentality that if I vote on voting day, that gives them less
00:07:25.460 time to tamper with my vote. No. Vote early. Like I said, there's so many challenges that could come up
00:07:33.660 on voting day, and that could mean that you don't actually get to vote. And that is a big problem when
00:07:41.960 it's on a large scale. So vote early. That is my two cents. I actually wish some conservative mega
00:07:48.340 donor would just fund a massive campaign encouraging people to vote early. This push by some conservatives
00:07:56.960 to only vote on election day is so dumb. Don't listen to that. So anyway, all of this is really 1.00
00:08:05.360 important what's happening on X right now. I'm very thankful for Elon Musk and how he is championing
00:08:11.040 the other side of things and also championing free speech. So Monday marked the return, as I said,
00:08:18.920 of Trump to X. And not only did he have this Twitter spaces with Elon Musk, he also made multiple posts
00:08:25.500 on X and the hours leading up to the interview, suggesting that he might be returning to this as
00:08:32.360 his communication tool. He posted lots of ads. I thought the ads were good. He also posted a graphic
00:08:38.720 on Instagram. Amazing that he is allowed on Instagram to more power to meta for that. I'm just
00:08:44.860 listing what his policy proposals are, and the solutions to our problems. And, you know, they were
00:08:52.740 the expected solutions, things that we've heard from him over the years that are very popular,
00:08:58.480 closing the border, you know, punishing the drug cartels that control the border right now,
00:09:03.540 putting an end to inflation, which would have to mean much less government spending, better economic
00:09:12.400 policies. He had a long list of policy proposals, including keeping men out of women's sports. He
00:09:18.420 didn't say anything about abortion, which, of course, that's my number one issue. So I wish that
00:09:23.980 he were stronger on that, as we talked about yesterday. But also, as we talked about yesterday,
00:09:28.360 if he's not, then he should just stop talking about it and just say, you know what, I'm on the side of
00:09:32.860 life. Kamala Harris has not put out her list of policy proposals. The most specific that I have
00:09:38.100 heard her get when it comes to things that she thinks should be done when she's president is her
00:09:45.340 suggestion that we should have no taxes on tips. And who said that first? Donald Trump. Donald Trump
00:09:52.720 suggested that several months ago. So the only time I have heard her during this campaign get specific
00:09:58.920 about her policy proposals, she is literally just copying and pasting a Donald Trump policy proposal.
00:10:05.680 The only thing that Kamala Harris stands for is unfettered abortion. That's it. No one can tell me 0.99
00:10:11.360 who is voting for her what she has proposed. Like, what policies is she putting forth? What is her 0.86
00:10:17.200 solution to inflation? The most specific I have heard her get before this election cycle, so before she
00:10:24.600 copied Donald Trump was in the last election cycle, when she completely failed, fell on her face in
00:10:30.600 trying to run for president. And that is that she wants to ban private health insurance, just get rid 1.00
00:10:35.820 of all of it, and also ban fracking. Those were her words, verbatim. That's not an exaggeration.
00:10:43.120 And we can already see what she thinks about immigration policy. She's been a border czar for the past four 0.94
00:10:48.360 years, despite the media trying to cover that up. And she's done absolutely nothing. I mean,
00:10:53.180 she had to have her arm twisted to even visit the border. There will be a thousand more Lake and 0.98
00:10:58.880 Rileys under a Kamala Harris presidency because she wants to incentivize those kinds of people to come 1.00
00:11:05.240 to the United States by rewarding them with things like free health insurance. So that's Kamala Harris. 1.00
00:11:12.960 She's trying to capitalize on the vapidity, the stupidity of many voters by just putting out as 1.00
00:11:23.120 many good vibes as she possibly can. And she's trusting that a lot of people aren't going to 1.00
00:11:27.540 think very hard, that a lot of people are just going to vote on how they feel. And she's right.
00:11:31.880 A lot of people will. But we have to hope that a lot more people don't. And we also, when we can,
00:11:37.940 then have to use truth-based emotional appeal to get to those people who unfortunately will vote
00:11:45.040 based on feelings. So we just have to have a reasonable, a reasonable perspective on all of
00:11:51.460 that. All right, quick pause to tell you about our first sponsor for the day, and that is Lumen.
00:12:01.220 Guys, I'm so excited about this product. This could be a game changer for your health. It is the first
00:12:07.460 handheld metabolic coach. It's a device that measures your metabolism through your breath.
00:12:13.720 And then on the app, it lets you know if you are currently burning fat or carbs. It gives you
00:12:18.460 tailored guidance to improve your nutrition, your workouts, your sleeps, and even your stress
00:12:23.020 management. Like it'll tell you, okay, based on what your metabolism is doing right now,
00:12:27.960 here's what you should eat today. Here's how you should work out to maximize your metabolism.
00:12:33.260 Make sure that you are properly metabolizing the food that you're eating so that you can actually
00:12:38.080 burn fat. And the metabolism is so, I think, misunderstood. For me, all I ever knew about
00:12:44.100 it was that, okay, you can have a slow metabolism. It slows as you get older. Or you can have a fast
00:12:48.740 metabolism, something that you were born with. Then there's nothing you can do about it. I did not
00:12:53.720 realize that there are things that you can do to make your metabolism healthier and work better for
00:12:59.300 you and your body so that you can get stronger, faster, more in shape, lose weight, all of the
00:13:06.180 things that you need to do. And this is just a really, really easy way for you to do that. So you
00:13:12.180 breathe into your lumen first thing in the morning. It'll tell you what's going on with
00:13:16.540 your metabolism and then give you nutrition, workout suggestions based on that. This is like
00:13:22.500 your body's engine, your metabolism is. And so if it's not working correctly, then the rest of you
00:13:28.540 can't work correctly. So try this out. It's lumen.me slash relatable, L-U-M-E-N dot me slash
00:13:36.400 relatable. You'll get 15% off your purchase. Lumen.me slash relatable.
00:13:41.420 So when he was talking to Elon Musk, like I said, he talked about the assassination attempt.
00:13:51.520 He talked about Kamala Harris and the Biden administration. Trump criticized Harris,
00:13:56.240 accusing her of failing at her role as border czar, which is absolutely true. Illegal immigration. 1.00
00:14:01.760 Trump slammed the Biden-Harris administration's approach to border security, contrasting it with
00:14:06.200 his own policies. Absolutely true. Return to Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump announced plans to
00:14:13.080 return to Butler in October, referencing the strong support he received there. I think that is a great
00:14:17.320 campaign move. Musk's endorsement of Donald Trump. Musk clarified that the event was a conversation
00:14:23.140 rather than an interview aimed at showing Trump's true character and mentioned his endorsement of
00:14:28.320 Trump for the 2024 election. The economy. Trump focuses on issues like inflation. He says,
00:14:36.200 people want to hear about the economy. Food prices are up. This stupid administration allowed this to
00:14:40.840 happen. And it's a shame. And that's the thing most people care about. In my opinion, I think he's 1.00
00:14:45.560 right about that. No matter how pro-life you are, no matter how much you care about the border and these
00:14:50.340 other issues, which of course are actually existential for our country, like you have to care about being
00:14:56.420 able to feed your family and being able to afford not just the things that you need, but yes, things that
00:15:01.680 you want to do to people who have felt that shift over the past few years. Education. Trump told Musk
00:15:08.420 that he plans to eliminate the Department of Education. That's huge. I want to close up the
00:15:12.940 Department of Education, move education back to the states. Of the 50 states, I would bet that 35 would
00:15:19.320 do great and 15 of them or, you know, 20 of them will be as good as Norway. You know, Norway is
00:15:24.540 considered great. The former president attacked Harris as a San Francisco liberal. 100%, right? Like
00:15:30.560 she was radically left for California, for San Francisco. And she's trying to tell us that she
00:15:36.640 is the pro-freedom, even moderate candidate who had changed her tune on issues such as fracking and 0.71
00:15:42.780 defunding the police. Let's not forget that about her, is that she contributed to the Freedom Fund 0.89
00:15:50.200 after the George Floyd riots. And part of that funding helped release a man who then went out
00:15:57.820 and murdered someone. So that's Kamala Harris. He argued Harris would revert to more liberal stances 0.99
00:16:04.180 if she is elected in November. 1000% true. She is a puppet of the abortion lobby, of the environmentalist
00:16:11.300 lobby, and of the LGBTQ lobby. We've already seen throughout her career that she will sacrifice all of 1.00
00:16:18.020 your constitutional rights, especially those listed in the First Amendment, if it is in service to her
00:16:23.060 donors. She is corrupt and cruel to the core. You can go back and listen to our first episode about 0.94
00:16:28.020 Kamala Harris from a couple weeks ago. I think actually from last week. If you want to hear more
00:16:32.300 about that, we'll link it. Trump also attacked Harris's running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walls,
00:16:37.420 for signing legislation requiring schools to provide free menstrual products in all public school
00:16:42.520 bathrooms, which is true. Tim Walls loves to waste money, and that's why he decided to
00:16:47.920 taxpayers have to fund that. And the humiliation, by the way, of the teenage boys is the point.
00:16:53.280 The humiliation is the point there. I mean, just absolutely absurd. And if you don't even
00:16:59.520 understand why he has done that, it is because they believe that a girl can identify as a boy,
00:17:06.460 and that girl may still have a period, even if she is identifying as a teenage boy. And when she goes
00:17:12.800 into that restroom, that boy's restroom, she might need a pad or a tampon. And so there should be no 1.00
00:17:18.840 stigma. Of course, it all starts with a lie that a boy can become a girl and vice versa. Of course,
00:17:25.260 that is impossible. We shouldn't encourage that. It's completely destructive. It is degenerate.
00:17:29.740 And it is so harmful for the very kids that they say that they are standing up for. And that's just who
00:17:37.440 Walls is. He is not some moderate guy. And as we talked about yesterday, he also wasted tens of
00:17:43.840 millions of taxpayer dollars providing free lunches to wealthy families in public schools who are not
00:17:50.040 allowed to opt out. So as I said, Trump was very clear about his GOP platform, make America great
00:17:57.960 again. He's still using that. Seal the border, carry out the largest deportation operation in
00:18:03.460 American history. That's not just an immigration policy. That is an economic policy. I mean,
00:18:09.900 massive deportation of illegal migrants. So by definition, every single one of them has committed 0.68
00:18:15.820 a crime that will also lower the cost of housing. That will also help us economically. He says,
00:18:23.480 make America affordable again, make America the dominant energy producer in the world by far.
00:18:27.800 Again, that's not only an energy issue. That's not only an economic issue. That is also
00:18:33.060 a national security issue. When we are not relying on hostile foreign powers for our oil, we are safer.
00:18:41.200 He says, stop outsourcing, turn the United States into a manufacturing superpower. We desperately need
00:18:46.780 that. That part of the country that J.D. Vance knows so well and represents, that is for them. Large
00:18:53.620 tax cuts for workers and no tax on tips. Remember, that was his idea that he proposed, not first Kamala
00:19:01.420 Harris's, which is a great idea. You'll hear constantly from the left. They only want to cut
00:19:06.120 taxes on for the wealthy, which of course is just objectively false. That actually, it's really
00:19:12.680 Democrats who hate that group that makes between $100,000 and like $800,000. I'm not saying that's not
00:19:21.180 a lot of money, but a lot of those people are people who did not inherit generational wealth.
00:19:26.440 They've just been able to work hard enough to make money. And that really is the group that
00:19:32.580 Democrat tax policy just wants to gut and just wants to demoralize by robbing them of so much
00:19:40.260 of the wealth that they've built. Keep the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency. I'm not
00:19:45.420 reading all of these. He also says prevent World War III. Let's also remember that Kamala Harris means
00:19:51.220 war because we had relative peace under Trump. Like you'll remember that even in the Middle East,
00:19:56.500 unprecedented peace. And then under Biden, we had this drastic failure of a pullout from Afghanistan.
00:20:05.100 We had Russia invading Ukraine. We've got Iran threatening to attack Israel. We've got the threat
00:20:14.000 of nuclear war happening all under Biden. Kamala means war. And we also know the Democrat position
00:20:19.720 to try to enlist both men and women through a compulsory draft. And so under Kamala Harris, 0.95
00:20:31.340 you are looking at World War III in which your daughters are drafted. And I think Donald Trump
00:20:38.180 and his history shows us that that is much less likely when he is president because a strong America
00:20:45.160 is better for the world, especially the most vulnerable in the world. He says, deport pro-Humas 1.00
00:20:51.420 radicals. That's amazing. And make our college campuses safe and patriotic again, which I love.
00:20:58.920 If I were to give some advice to a Trump team, like I've been asked, okay, well, how do you shift the
00:21:07.780 vibes for those young people that are really voting based on like branding, based on what the campaigns
00:21:13.600 look like and sound like? You leverage those cool frat bros that a few months ago were holding up the
00:21:21.700 American flag. I think it was on University of North Carolina campus. You contrast that to the people 1.00
00:21:28.960 who I guarantee you are voting for Harris, who are stomping on the American flag, burning the American
00:21:34.700 flag, hoisting up Palestinian flag, defacing our monuments, defacing the Liberty Bell. You leverage the 0.99
00:21:43.540 frat bros, the patriotic frat bros. It's, and especially right now in fall, start to the school
00:21:50.780 year again, you've got rush happening. I know this might not make sense to a lot of you, but you
00:21:55.600 leverage that part of the college campus. They love America. Their parents love America. Most of their
00:22:00.640 parents are voting Republican. Those sorority girls though, they could easily get caught up in this 1.00
00:22:06.180 movement of, you know, making Kamala brat and, um, get kind of caught up in the feels of Kamala Harris.
00:22:13.660 And so you got to leverage the frat bros to secure that vote. I know that might sound silly and
00:22:19.260 superficial to some of you, but it is what it is. Don't hate the player. You can hate the game,
00:22:26.680 but those college kids vote. If you want to shift the vibes, if you want to shift the branding,
00:22:31.780 those are the patriotic young kids leverage those guys like the ones at you, uh, UNC hoisting up the
00:22:38.680 American flag. All right. Next sponsor for the day is Jace Madical. We've been talking a lot about the

00:24:14.880 Oh, I wonder what, I wonder if Elon, I didn't, I don't know if Elon and him talked about this. It
00:24:23.760 says cancel the electric vehicle mandate. Interesting. Cut federal funding for pushing
00:24:29.340 CRT, radical gender theory, keep men out of women's sports. Okay. Love it all. Uh, the media 1.00
00:24:35.560 didn't like it though. Uh, here's what USA Today says. Trump rambles, slurs his way through Elon
00:24:41.060 Musk interview. It was an unmitigated disaster. Um, let's see Newsweek Donald Trump's lisp during
00:24:48.220 Elon Musk interview raises questions. Hmm. The Guardian. So Donald chatted with Elon and here's
00:24:54.320 the future as they see it. Losers win incompetence rules. That is hilarious considering the democratic 0.98
00:25:01.100 idiocracy, cakeistocracy that we have been subjected to and that we would be subjected to 1.00
00:25:07.860 under Kamala Harris who has never earned anything. It's just true. Uh, the New York times Musk's
00:25:15.840 Trump talk on X after glitchy start a two hour ramble. Elon Musk throws a Trump rally. And you know,
00:25:24.900 it's funny because the Harris campaign, they're saying that this is, uh, this is a billionaire
00:25:30.560 trying to steal the election. Here's what Harris says their campaign. Donald Trump's extremism and
00:25:36.820 dangerous project 2025 agenda is a feature, not a glitch of his campaign, which was on full display
00:25:42.520 for those unlucky enough to listen in tonight during whatever that was on X.com. Trump's entire
00:25:49.220 campaign is in service of people like Elon Musk and himself, self-obsessed rich guys who will sell
00:25:55.440 out the middle class and who cannot run a live stream in the year 2024. Like I will say it shouldn't 0.98
00:26:02.260 be glitching. The same thing happened to Ron DeSantis. It's that's just like, shouldn't happen.
00:26:08.400 I mean, I know it's like you're breaking the internet. You've got so many people engaged,
00:26:12.680 but can we, can we, I don't know, can we not? Um, but I do think that Trump is revving up. I do.
00:26:19.960 I do wonder, as I said yesterday, if the honeymoon phase for Harrison Walls is ending, if they've got
00:26:26.260 their bearings now, they understand what needs to be said. They understand what needs to be done.
00:26:30.880 And like, let's go, let's go. There are so many things on the line. I was just talking to a
00:26:36.820 conservative friend yesterday about just my concern with how Harris will fundamentally change the
00:26:43.020 country even more than it already has under Obama in Biden in at the very least, we need someone to
00:26:49.820 stave that off for four years at the very least. And so if you can vote for no other reason, even if
00:26:56.120 you're not enthusiastic about Donald Trump, because he's not as pro-life as you and I want him to be,
00:27:00.580 or if you just have Trump fatigue, whatever it is, at least vote and get your friends to vote to
00:27:06.200 stave off the radicalism that is Harrison Walls. They're anti-freedom. They're anti-prosperity.
00:27:12.860 They're pro-chaos, pro-degeneracy, pro-war, anti-parental rights, anti-all of the things
00:27:18.580 that Christians should stand for. And let me just, before we get into the Olympic stuff, like,
00:27:22.840 let me just talk about this for a second. There is an Evangelicals for Biden group going,
00:27:29.440 or Evangelicals for Harris group, I should say. There was an Evangelicals for Biden, and Evangelicals
00:27:35.300 for Harris include some people like Jamar Tisby, include some people like LaTosha Morrison. You know
00:27:42.440 the name LaTosha Morrison because she authored the book Be the Bridge, and there are groups nationwide
00:27:49.320 for being bridge builders, and it's supposed to be about racial reconciliation. But as we've talked
00:27:55.440 many times before, it employs unbiblical principles and pushes favoritism and partiality rather than
00:28:07.100 truth and biblical justice. It gives different rules for the white people who are participating in it,
00:28:14.440 different rules for the black people who are participating in it, telling white people through
00:28:19.480 their Whiteness 101 document that you are not allowed to refute or rebut any criticisms or
00:28:26.020 accusations by the black people in the group, that you just need to sit in silence, listen, and learn.
00:28:32.520 Don't talk about your own lived experience as a contradiction or an example. Don't center yourself. 0.88
00:28:38.980 All of these ridiculous secular directives just towards white people that, of course, 1.00
00:28:44.700 are not given toward black people. And she pushes this idea of collective repentance by people who 0.98
00:28:50.500 all share the generally the same melanin count in order to try to reconcile with others who have
00:29:00.760 generally the same melanin count. And she unbiblically tries to use scripture to support her claim, 0.90
00:29:08.720 um, but she really, she fails to do so. And so people should have seen the warning signs a long
00:29:14.860 time ago, uh, in the bad theology that she pushes. Unfortunately, there are many pastors that have
00:29:23.080 promoted her work who are otherwise trustworthy. And so that in itself is unfortunate. It's, um,
00:29:30.080 a very divisive doctrine that she promotes, but it shouldn't be all that surprising that she
00:29:35.760 is standing up for publicly the ticket who has very unabashedly pushed abortion through all nine
00:29:46.560 months for any reason paid for by the taxpayer and whose policies are only going to lead to destruction
00:29:55.560 and lawlessness and chaos. And so if you are still part of a church that is pushing that curriculum,
00:30:02.640 you need to have a conversation, uh, with your, with your pastor about that for a variety of reasons.
00:30:08.200 But I actually think it is very elucidating. It's very illuminating when we see these people,
00:30:14.060 um, just say what they support, just be very outright and open about, uh, the policies that they,
00:30:22.120 I assume presumably, uh, stand for. And we can link past episodes on Be The Bridge and you can hear some
00:30:28.980 of the specific issues with it if you're interested in that. But I mean, there are evangelicals,
00:30:35.460 people who say that they're evangelicals who are voting for Kamala Harris, and you've got to engage
00:30:41.000 those people in love and in truth and unashamedly too. That doesn't mean that your spirituality is
00:30:48.420 tied to your vote or that is your entrance, um, into having your ticket into heaven. Of course not.
00:30:56.780 We don't believe that at all. I have friends who are writing in. I have friends who say that they're
00:31:02.280 not voting. Um, I even have some friends who will vote for Harris, but I know that we are not on the
00:31:08.940 same page theologically, so that makes sense. But you've just got to ask questions to those people,
00:31:14.380 engage them in truth, engage them in love. Don't be ashamed of your position. Um, while also,
00:31:21.040 of course, realizing that at the end of the day, we are all made in the image of God, um, and that
00:31:27.560 partisanship is not paramount. It matters. Policies matter, of course, as we've talked about many times,
00:31:35.920 but try as much as you can to preserve those relationships, even as you push your friends
00:31:41.960 to think a little bit harder about what policies they support and why they actually matter.
00:31:46.780 All right. Third sponsor is WeHeart Nutrition. Y'all, I take my supplements from WeHeart Nutrition

00:32:13.860 battle anemia and it's helped me be a lot more energetic as a mom of three. That's very necessary.
00:32:19.260 I take their omega threes and I take their magnesium every night as well. And it's been

00:32:47.860 Okay. Let's get into Aman Khalif because believe it or not, this is still being talked about. This
00:32:54.360 is the gold medal Olympics controversy going on right now with this boxer. And I am going to say
00:33:01.900 he, because as I will explain, as far as we know, this person is actually male according to his
00:33:08.720 chromosomes. So here's the, here's the summary of it. And then we'll get into the details. So
00:33:13.700 Algerian boxer, Aman Khalif, who had previously been disqualified by the International Boxing
00:33:19.040 Association from competing in 2023, when a genetic test showed male chromosomes received the gold
00:33:25.860 medal after beating the Chinese competitor. After winning the Olympic gold, Khalif filed a legal
00:33:33.560 complaint with the Paris prosecutor's office for online harassment and purportedly false claims
00:33:38.720 about Khalif's sex during the Paris Olympics. International boxing insiders who have direct
00:33:44.360 experience with Aman Khalif have come forward to say that Khalif should not be included in female
00:33:49.860 boxing. This is all reported by Redux. For example, Khalif's own trainer, Georges Cazorla,
00:33:57.740 I think that's how you pronounce it, also confirmed in a magazine interview that the Algerian has a
00:34:03.200 male karyotype and high testosterone saying there is a problem with her hormones, with her chromosomes. 0.98
00:34:09.860 He also added that he found the disqualification based on biological tests disgusting. Okay. So he
00:34:16.480 doesn't agree, I guess, with her, with him being excluded, but he does admit, yeah, okay, this is,
00:34:23.260 this is, uh, he's got different chromosomes. Uh, Cazorla told the magazine the disqualification
00:34:29.080 was based on tests. I found it disgusting regardless of the results of those biological
00:34:32.980 tests. And without going into detail, this poor young girl was devastated, devastated to suddenly
00:34:38.020 discover that she might not be a girl. So Cazorla says that Aman Khalif did take a test, knew that the
00:34:47.080 results came back saying that he had XY chromosomes. And while he was devastated, he still continued 0.54
00:34:52.940 to box evolutionary biologist, Colin Wright has narrowed down Khalif's potential condition to
00:34:59.360 most likely be five ARD males with this condition. He says this exclusively affects males often present
00:35:08.040 at birth with female appearing or ambiguous genitalia leading to a potential misclassification
00:35:13.220 as female. However, people with five ARD possess fully functional internal testes that produce male 0.94
00:35:19.340 levels of testosterone during puberty. That of course is what accounts to men being so much faster,
00:35:24.680 bigger, stronger, inter, insurmountably than women. Moreover, those with five ARD are fully responsive to 1.00
00:35:32.060 testosterone, meaning they undergo a typical male puberty. Their bodies will respond to lowering these
00:35:36.980 testosterone, uh, levels. Khalif meets all these criteria, the criteria of five, uh, ARD. And so let me give
00:35:47.180 you a little bit of background about this because this has been a huge controversy with people claiming,
00:35:53.520 no, Aman Khalif is definitely a woman. She is a female. They've been showing pictures supposedly of
00:36:00.120 her when she was younger. And yet, uh, it was reported again by Redux that she had been previously excluded
00:36:09.340 from these boxing competitions. He had been, uh, previously excluded from these boxing competitions
00:36:16.260 because when he did a blood test, it was found that he had XY chromosomes. So the International
00:36:23.940 Boxing Association is the entity that had come forward saying, Hey, Khalif and Lynn, another boxer,
00:36:31.600 they both have XY chromosomes. They both are male. They should not be competing against women. 1.00
00:36:39.020 But then the International Olympic Committee actually permitted their participation under more
00:36:44.680 lax rules. They said, look, it says female on the, uh, on the passport. The Olympics don't actually
00:36:52.700 test for that thing or, or for that, uh, particular thing for that, uh, for their chromosomes. And so
00:37:00.600 this person can compete. The IOC articulated that they only use the legal sex of the athlete. And then
00:37:08.880 you'll remember when Khalif competed against Italy's Angela Carini, Angela Carini abandoned the match
00:37:14.840 after just 46 seconds. Carini had already competed against Khalif and had been hit really hard and just
00:37:21.960 felt too injured, uh, to do that. And that's what caused this entire firestorm of people saying,
00:37:27.120 okay, this is just not fair. And then also since then, you've seen a lot of boxers when they get into
00:37:33.300 the ring, they'll go like this, XX with their fingers. And it seems like they are in a kind of
00:37:40.980 subtle way saying, yeah, I stand with women. I stand with people who have XX chromosomes because 1.00
00:37:46.900 that is what it means to be a woman. During an August 5th press conference, the IBA, the IBA,
00:37:54.940 the International Boxing Association, who says, yeah, Khalif is male and shouldn't compete.
00:37:59.140 Um, they discussed the reasoning for the boxers originally being disqualified from previous
00:38:04.140 competitions against women and informed the audience that both boxers had not appealed their
00:38:09.060 decision to the court of arbitration and sport to fight despite facing no financial burden to do so.
00:38:14.980 So when the IBA found through their testing that these two boxers, uh, were actually male,
00:38:21.820 they said, look, you can appeal this decision. If you want to, if you think that this is wrong,
00:38:25.340 there's a process that you can do that. It's totally free. Neither of the boxers did that.
00:38:32.080 Um, further confirmation of the boxers karyotype was given by Alan Abramson,
00:38:37.140 an associate professor at the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for
00:38:40.760 Communication and Journalism. Uh, he is a specialist in Olympic sports and member of the International
00:38:46.680 Olympic Committee's press committee. In a statement, Ant Abramson said that he had personally viewed the
00:38:52.520 results of the hotly contested chromosomal test ordered by the IBA in 2022 and 2023.
00:38:59.260 Abramson revealed that the test concluded the boxers DNA was that of a male consisting of XY
00:39:06.740 chromosomes. And then as I said, Khalif's trainer confirms the problems with the chromosomes,
00:39:13.500 even though he is defending Khalif. A lot of people are pointing out that after he won the gold medal in
00:39:20.160 boxing, all of these men, his male trainers are lifting him up, holding him, even tapping him on
00:39:27.160 the chest, which in a very conservative male, uh, Muslim country like Algeria, that just would be
00:39:34.740 culturally forbidden. Even if Khalif is not a stringent Muslim, the cross-dressing that we see 1.00
00:39:43.200 when we look at everyday pictures of Khalif would not be acceptable. What I personally think is that
00:39:50.520 everyone kind of understands in Algeria, what's going on there, that they do actually consider him
00:39:57.640 a man. And that's why they don't respect typical Muslim and cultural norms when it comes to how they 1.00
00:40:03.900 interact with him, how they touch him, how they allow him to dress. I mean, he wears full suits,
00:40:09.320 fully male clothing. There's no even attempt for him to like try to look feminine in any way. And
00:40:16.160 this very traditional conservative, if you want to call it that Muslim country, I think they all just 1.00
00:40:22.920 kind of know, but of course they want him to compete against women. And because of his, perhaps his 0.87
00:40:28.800 assignment at birth, there's like some wiggle room there. And of course it allows him to win.
00:40:34.220 And so that is probably what's happening. Other people are speaking out. A Bulgarian boxer,
00:40:40.060 Joanna Noamuru, maybe? A female Bulgarian boxer. She is so far undefeated in her career. She said 0.95
00:40:50.580 that she met Khalif in Bulgaria, was told by members of the Algerian national team that Khalif was a woman
00:40:56.460 who had simply been biologically altered by living in the mountains. Okay. And this boxer said that she
00:41:05.080 did not believe this. And so she provided comments to her, a docs revealing that Khalif had male power
00:41:10.480 and used male techniques during a sparring match against her and Sofia, Bulgaria. Khalif was some,
00:41:16.020 has some kind of internal issues, but he is a man. I will stay by my words until he slash she does a task
00:41:21.260 to prove to the world that he, she is a woman, but we all know that will not happen. Uh,
00:41:28.440 Noamuru is in the same weight classes. Khalif could have faced him in the Olympics. However,
00:41:33.940 she did not make the final Olympic pick her colleague. I don't really totally understand how that works if
00:41:38.680 she's like undefeated, but also, I don't know, didn't make the final Olympic pick, uh, her colleague, uh, 0.98
00:41:45.040 Svetlana Staneva represented Bulgaria in the Olympics and fought the other male Lynn Yuting 0.99
00:41:51.480 on August 4th. Staneva launched an international movement following the match with Lynn after 1.00
00:41:56.940 making, Oh, this is the person who did the XX symbol at the crowd using her fingers, a clear
00:42:02.000 nod to the chromosome controversy that had surrounded Lynn with Khalif. Um, I love that
00:42:09.120 Megyn Kelly is saying this. She said to the Daily Mail in a tweet, I love you Daily Mail,
00:42:14.840 but I am begging you and other outlets to stop with the pronoun game. You're reporting on a male 0.73
00:42:18.840 boxer who fought versus a woman using she, her for the man. It's wrong, confusing, and is meant to 0.84
00:42:22.820 dull our senses to this gender insanity. Yes, Megyn, you are so right. And on her show a couple of 0.97
00:42:29.060 years ago, I don't know if I can find the episode or the clip, but we had this conversation where I
00:42:34.820 said this, I said, look, I'm not going to use she, her for a male because that ascends to the entire 0.62
00:42:40.140 theory that is leading to men in women's bathrooms. And that was, that was like, I would say, 0.82
00:42:44.840 earlier on her journey. And she hadn't come to that conclusion quite yet. I am so thankful for
00:42:50.600 how strong she is on this, how out there she is on this and is holding the line on that issue.
00:42:56.160 And she's been very open about her evolution and her change on that, which I just really
00:43:01.080 appreciate. I think that's really powerful. So I'm so glad that she's there speaking the truth
00:43:05.880 about pronouns. The Babylon Bee says,
00:43:08.120 Ameen Khalif wins first ever gold medal in freestyle domestic violence.
00:43:13.480 Whoops. And gosh, and you know, like we can feel for Khalif, like we can, if it is true,
00:43:22.120 if it is true that he has some kind of issue, I won't even call it intersex because I think
00:43:28.520 that's a misnomer. You're not really in between sexes, like he is a male. But if there was any
00:43:33.360 confusion and he really thought that he was a woman, it would have been obvious to him and to
00:43:37.540 everyone else after puberty, though, that he's really a male and he didn't have to go into boxing,
00:43:42.480 but he did. But we can still have sympathy for that condition. We absolutely can. And we can say
00:43:48.800 that was probably really hard and really confusing. But at the end of the day, the primary victim is the
00:43:54.240 woman that is getting beaten up by the man. The primary victim in this scenario is the woman,
00:43:59.120 not the man. Because at any point in the past several years, someone could have stopped and
00:44:04.600 said, this is not right. I'm sorry, Khalif, that you're going through this. This is a devastating
00:44:09.280 diagnosis. And like, we want to help you reconcile with that. But boxing is not the activity for you.
00:44:16.480 That's not fair to these women. But he never said that. The people around him never said that.
00:44:20.660 And that is why my sympathy is limited.
00:44:27.820 Okay, y'all, I cannot believe it. But Labor Day is coming up. Oh, my goodness. And since it's coming
00:44:35.240 up, you need to make sure that you've got American meat on the grill. You should be getting that from
00:44:41.460 good ranchers. They've got all American meat from local farms and ranches, zero antibiotics or
00:44:47.160 hormones, pre-trimmed and individually packed. It makes eating healthy, trustworthy, and also just
00:44:54.260 really easy. It saves you a lot of time. I never have to go to the grocery store and wonder, okay,
00:44:59.580 is this meat just packaged in the USA? Is it actually from the US? What's in it? It says that
00:45:05.440 it's organic. What does that even mean? I don't have to worry about any of that. Because my good
00:45:09.640 ranchers box shows up at my front door once a month with my ground beef and my unmarinated chicken
00:45:16.240 and my bacon, all the stuff my family eats on a daily basis. So right now, if you subscribe to

00:45:45.000 Let's end on some great gospel moments at the Olympics, which I just think it's amazing after
00:45:51.840 the controversy with the opening ceremony and the clear mockery of the Last Supper. Don't tell me it
00:45:59.220 is like an ode to Greek gods. We've already covered that. Let's not be obtuse here. It was at least in
00:46:05.600 part a mockery of the Last Summer. Last Summer. Last Supper. And look, God will not be mocked. He can
00:46:13.940 defend himself. He doesn't need us to be constantly outraged about the mockery of him. But it is okay for
00:46:26.860 us to have been concerned about that. It is okay for us to not like that and to not like our faith
00:46:34.020 to be belittled. But we do have reason to celebrate because I saw God glorified openly, thanked by many
00:46:44.120 athletes who could have taken the opportunity to just talk about how awesome they are because that's
00:46:48.680 what a lot of athletes do. A lot of athletes, when they are asked, like, yeah, you know, it's all me.
00:46:54.720 I'm just awesome, basically. And really, no one bats an eye. A lot of people just kind of expect that
00:47:00.880 from athletes. But when given a public platform, several of these athletes gave glory to God,
00:47:09.120 gave thanks to God. And I just this like hybrid creature that I saw at the Olympics of actual 0.99
00:47:16.600 supermodel evangelists, like have the athletes at the Olympics always been this dang beautiful?
00:47:24.720 And it's kind of not fair. I'm just gonna say that. I'm just gonna say that. It's kind of not
00:47:29.460 fair. I might disqualify you, actually, from the Olympics. If you are that talented and that fast
00:47:36.160 and that awesome and that beautiful, um, I don't know. DQ'd. That's all I have to say on that.
00:47:44.700 But I am thankful for how these beautiful people shouted out the Lord when they had the opportunity.
00:47:52.680 This is a German Olympic gold medalist, Yamisi Oganili. I'm not sure how to pronounce her last
00:48:00.840 name. She broke out in gospel music in a press conference after winning gold in shot put. Here's
00:48:06.600 that one. So after falling, um, I went back to my seat and I sang a song. Um, it means I almost let
00:48:15.520 go. Jesus came and grabbed me. He held me close. So I wouldn't let go. God's mercy kept me. So I
00:48:28.820 wouldn't let go. So I'm here today because God kept me. I'm alive today only because of his grace.
00:48:44.820 Oh, he kept me. Okay. Do you see what I, do you see what I mean by that? That's rude that you can be
00:48:53.560 that strong and talented to be an Olympic gold medalist. And that beautiful. If you're watching
00:49:00.400 this on YouTube and you have singing talent, I mean, really? Um, so that was just beautiful.
00:49:08.660 That was so good. I loved that. I was tearing up when I was listening to that. And then American, 0.85
00:49:13.560 uh, Sydney McLaughlin Lavroni. She won the gold medal in the women's 400 meter hurdles.
00:49:18.600 She set a new world record with an incredible run of 50 seconds, point 50.37 seconds. That is 0.99
00:49:27.460 incredible. Like I was asking my husband, I was like, what, what distance could I run in 50 seconds?
00:49:35.260 I think I could run if I were running for my life, for my life. Okay. So I don't know what's chasing
00:49:43.540 after me. A cheetah, a bear, a lion. I don't know. If I were running for my life, I think I could run
00:49:51.120 200, a 250 seconds. And she, who is not running for her life is running a 450 seconds. Not only that,
00:50:02.540 she is jumping over obstacles. I honestly don't think I could jump over one hurdle. You know what they 0.94
00:50:11.300 should do. I'm sure other people have suggested this too. When you're watching the Olympics,
00:50:15.300 there needs to be like on the screen, some kind of technology where you see like average person,
00:50:22.040 just like a little hologram. Like as the Olympians are going, you see where the average person would
00:50:27.820 be in the race. Um, that's, that's what I want to see. Like, okay, 10 to 12 minute mile girl.
00:50:34.220 Like what is, what is she looking like in relation to these people who are just like
00:50:39.360 not even human? It seems like, and Sydney McLaughlin-Lavroni is so faithful to share the
00:50:46.340 gospel. And that is the most, I mean, beautiful part about her. She's always sharing her testimony
00:50:51.220 and giving glory to God. And I love that. In addition to just being an incredible athlete,
00:50:57.020 I think it's amazing how bold she is in her faith. Here's that too.
00:51:02.460 I, I credit all that I do to God. I, he's given me a gift. He's given me a drive to,
00:51:07.320 uh, just want to continue to improve upon myself and I have a platform and I want to use it to
00:51:11.980 glorify him. And so whenever I step on the track, it's always the prayer of God. Let me be the vessel
00:51:18.540 in which you're glorified, whatever the result is, um, how I conduct myself, how I carry myself,
00:51:24.000 not just how I perform. And so that's just freedom and knowing that regardless of what happens,
00:51:29.820 he's going to get the praise, um, through me. And yeah, that's why I do what I do.
00:51:36.120 Yes, girl. She and her husband are so sweet and precious. I love following them. A lot of you have
00:51:43.260 asked me to have her on the show. I would love that. We'll try to make it happen. A Brazilian 1.00
00:51:47.400 skateboarder, Reisa Lille, she quoted John 14, six, using sign language after she won the
00:51:53.700 bronze medal. This is so sweet. Oh my goodness. So if you don't know John 14, six, that is Jesus
00:52:04.520 is the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through him. And so what a verse
00:52:13.440 to sign to the world. I love that.

00:53:21.980 And then you've got Novak Djokovic, who has obviously been through a lot over the past few
00:53:27.320 years with his refusal to get the vaccine. He won the gold medal for Serbia and men's singles
00:53:32.860 tennis. He thanked God for giving him this opportunity. Here's SOP 4.
00:53:36.380 I feel very grateful to all the people. I feel grateful to God for giving me this mercy and
00:53:42.120 giving me this blessing and this opportunity. Because at that time, it was almost impossible
00:53:48.240 to achieve all of these things. But nothing is impossible. When you have faith and when you
00:53:53.580 have power and you believe in yourself, nothing is impossible.
00:53:56.940 I love that. I mean, I think that this is just a great testimony and great examples of what we always
00:54:02.280 say that God's eternal plan of redemption is always going off without a hitch. It might not be the
00:54:07.100 stuff that's making headlines. It might not be the stuff that's going viral. But he is always seeking
00:54:14.800 the lost sheep. And he is always seeking the lost coin. And what he seeks, he will find. What he sets
00:54:21.340 out to do, he will accomplish. Even when all this chaos and craziness is going on over here,
00:54:27.600 God is completely and totally in control. And he is doing exactly what he has set out to do. And he
00:54:36.440 is winning hearts and souls to himself. And he is so gracious that he uses us, that he uses us as
00:54:44.360 vessels. He uses our evangelism. He uses our prayers. He uses our obedience. He doesn't need that,
00:54:50.800 but he has preordained providentially the means by which he is going to accomplish his will.
00:54:58.660 And we get to participate in that, in that eternal plan of redemption. And so thank you to the athletes
00:55:04.480 who had a platform and gave glory to God. And at the end of the day, like that glory, that goodness,
00:55:11.100 that power, that faithfulness is so much bigger and better and deeper and more beautiful than any of 0.83
00:55:17.420 the derisive, silly, ugly mockery that we saw at the beginning of the Olympics. So be of good cheer. 0.94
00:55:25.100 God is always, always accomplishing good things in and through his people. All right. That's what we're
00:55:31.460 going to end on today. Thank you guys so much for watching. We will be back here tomorrow.
