Jane Fonda lectures the country on empathy, but wasn't she the person a couple years ago that
00:00:06.980
advocated for murdering pro-lifers? Also, Trump this round is not here to make friends. He is
00:00:14.700
sticking it to the main governor in defense of women and girls, and I love it. We will also be
00:00:20.360
talking about what is going on in Israel versus Hamas and giving an update on the persecution
00:00:28.180
situation in Africa, specifically the Congo, as Christians there are being targeted by
00:00:34.540
radical Muslims. We've got a lot to get to on today's episode of Relatable.
00:00:49.260
Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Tuesday. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far.
00:00:54.520
I apologize if you can tell that I've got allergies every time it's warm outside and I go
00:00:59.860
outside, especially at the beginning of spring. I get hit with these allergies. I've been slacking
00:01:04.580
on my CMOS gel and my local elderberry, so I'll have to re-up that to try to get these allergies
00:01:10.360
under control, but I apologize if that inhibits my ability to talk clearly. Okay, before we get
00:01:20.880
into everything today, I will power through my allergies. But before we get into all of that,
00:01:26.180

that we have for today. Sharethearrows.com Friday. Super pumped about that. Now let's get into
00:04:02.240
everything going on in the world, or as much as we can cover in about an hour. First, I just want to
00:04:08.920
give some amazing President Trump moments. The propaganda is so strong, but the fact of the
00:04:14.140
matter is, I think, at least from my perspective, he is leading well. Things are getting done. I know
00:04:20.540
we've got some concerns about what is going on with federal funding, even from the conservative side.
00:04:25.720
We've got some conservative federal employees that don't like everything that Elon Musk is doing.
00:04:31.620
We'll get into some of that this week, debunking some myths, addressing what I think are very
00:04:37.420
reasonable concerns and questions that people have. But overall, I think President Trump is
00:04:44.060
truly trying to make good on his promise to drain the swamp and to get inefficient and ineffective
00:04:50.440
people out of the federal government. He is doing the best that he possibly can to ensure the
00:04:57.200
deportation of violent criminals and illegal aliens in this country. And he is appointing people to
00:05:05.780
very important positions that are going to lead our institutions, our intelligence agencies in a
00:05:13.100
direction of honesty and truth and law enforcement. And I think we should all be really excited about
00:05:19.320
that. He is not here to make friends. I've said that before. Trump round two is not here to make
00:05:25.560
friends. And I love that. And let me just play you one example of this in an exchange that Trump had
00:05:32.640
with the main governor. This was this is going around on X. And I just responded by saying I love
00:05:41.980
him so much. I love Trump 2.0 so much. So let me just play you this clip and then I'll back up and give
00:05:48.740
you the the context. I just don't think Trump 2016 would have talked to a Democrat governor publicly
00:05:56.560
like this. Here's thought three. The NCAA has complied immediately, by the way. That's good. But I
00:06:03.660
understand Maine. Is Maine here? The governor of Maine? Are you not going to comply with it?
00:06:11.140
I'm complying with state and federal laws. Well, I'm we are the federal law. Well, you better do it.
00:06:17.060
You better do it because you're not going to get any federal funding at all if you don't. And by the
00:06:20.780
way, your population, even though it's somewhat liberal, although I did very well there, your
00:06:25.260
population doesn't want men playing in women's sports. So you better you better comply because
00:06:30.800
otherwise you're not getting any any federal funding. Every state. Good. I'll see you in court. I look
00:06:36.460
forward to that. That should be a real easy one. And enjoy your life after governor because I don't
00:06:42.240
think you'll be in elected politics. Oh, my goodness. I love that he just had that exchange
00:06:47.360
right there. So let me give you some color if you don't already know. That was last week at the
00:06:51.300
National Governors Association's Winter Summit at the White House. So that was Governor Janet
00:06:59.580
Mills of Maine. He is calling her out for her refusal to comply with his new executive order,
00:07:05.060
which bans men from competing in women's sports. That is him doubling down on that. She says if
00:07:12.120
you couldn't hear or see that, see you in court. He says, yeah, I look forward to that. And I also
00:07:17.440
hope that you enjoy your life after your political career is over because basically we are going to
00:07:23.320
ensure that that's what happens to you. And I say go, President Trump, because you are defending
00:07:28.120
girls. And again, the irony is, is that Janet Mills probably considers herself a glass ceiling
00:07:34.700
shattering feminist. And President Trump, the supposed chauvinist misogynist, is doing more
00:07:40.740
to protect vulnerable girls than she is. So on President Trump's first day, he signed an executive
00:07:47.280
order that officially acknowledges there are only two sexes and preserves women only spaces from
00:07:52.600
males. There was also another executive order. We talked about this at the time that he officially
00:07:59.160
declares that women's sports are to be protected. Women and girls spaces are to be protected.
00:08:07.380
And then after these executive orders, Maine's Department of Education issued a statement
00:08:11.140
opposing Trump's executive orders and instructing government schools to ignore the president's
00:08:16.300
executive action. The Maine Department of Education also argued that they are required to comply with
00:08:21.960
the Maine Human Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on a variety of factors, including
00:08:27.040
so-called gender identity and gender expression. How crazy it is to consider or to think that civil
00:08:35.060
rights law could protect your imagination, could protect a self-declaration. And so, say you declare
00:08:43.120
yourself a tree, are you now protected under natural conservation laws? It doesn't make any sense that we are
00:08:51.200
protecting the imaginations, the declarations, the self-identity of men who want to enter
00:08:57.040
into girls' spaces. Look, men and boys who want to enter into girls' spaces where they are going to the
00:09:03.000
bathroom and changing are inherently unsafe. Okay? I am not buying this idea that they feel that they are
00:09:09.200
born in the wrong body, that they have distress, that the only way they will achieve peace with their
00:09:14.520
body, their thoughts, their identity is changing in front of a bunch of teenage girls. No, this is a ploy.
00:09:22.940
This is an epidemic of porn addiction. These are porn-addled boys and men who get off on these
00:09:32.060
humiliation rituals where either they are being humiliated or they are humiliating girls by entering
00:09:38.720
into their spaces, beating them in sports, sometimes injuring them, like the conversation we had with the
00:09:44.660
young volleyball player, Peyton McNabb, who is still enduring probably lifelong brain problems and spine
00:09:54.320
problems because a ball was spiked in her face by a boy identifying as a girl on the opposite team.
00:10:03.360
This is all part of a fetish. And if you don't believe me, you need to go back, listen to my
00:10:09.880
interviews with Genevieve Gluck. We've talked about this several times. This is a perfect example.
00:10:15.880
Janet Mills, everyone who is on the side of so-called trans girls, aka boys pretending to be girls,
00:10:23.140
have a very serious case of toxic empathy. Toxic empathy is when empathy is used as a tool of
00:10:30.600
emotional manipulation in order to get you to believe that to be progressive or to be a good person,
00:10:37.460
you have to be progressive. So they'll hoist up a particular victim, like a boy who says that he's
00:10:42.640
in distress and really just wants to wrestle girls and say, this person needs to be helped. This person
00:10:50.120
is vulnerable and any policy that discriminates against this person is cruel. And if you are really
00:10:56.480
compassionate and if you give a crap about anyone, then you will have empathy for them. You'll feel how
00:11:04.540
they feel and you will support our policy protecting them. Well, toxic empathy kills. Toxic empathy ignores
00:11:11.720
reality and morality. Toxic empathy ignores the true victim on the other side of the equation. When
00:11:17.820
it comes to abortion, it ignores the baby that is being aborted. When it comes to gender, it ignores the
00:11:24.680
women and girls whose spaces, whose scholarships, whose privacy, whose rights are being violated. When it
00:11:31.100
comes to illegal immigration, it ignores Lake and Riley. When it comes to social justice, it ignores the
00:11:38.860
victims of the crimes and instead focuses on the criminals who have had a really hard life and
00:11:45.900
deserve restorative justice, which is typically just being let out of jail and allowed to commit crimes
00:11:52.320
again. So this is yet another example of toxic empathy run amok. And when toxic empathy affects policy,
00:12:00.680
people are going to get hurt. So Maine is in this position now of defying these orders. And here's
00:12:10.720
what it looks like. Last week, a trans identifying boy won the girl's pole vaulting state title in Maine
00:12:19.560
when he had previously placed fifth in the boy's pole vault just one year prior. We'll put up this picture
00:12:26.080
of what this person looked like. Okay. So here's a picture. Here's a side by side. You've got him
00:12:33.240
there on the left. He's in fifth place. He just looks like a regular boy. He's wearing the long shorts,
00:12:40.220
you know, muscular, athletic looking guy. And then in the picture on the right, now his name is Katie.
00:12:47.000
He's wearing short shorts, but he's very obviously male. He just looks like a boy, a young man wearing
00:12:53.280
short shorts with long hair. And oh, what is that? It looks like he changed positions on the pedestal
00:12:59.380
there. Huh? He went from fifth place to first place. Now these pictures are just one year apart,
00:13:06.240
one year apart. Did this person become a champion just one year later? Did his athletic prowess improve
00:13:17.600
that much? Did estrogen give him superpowers over the course of these 365 days? I don't think so.
00:13:26.540
I think this is someone who just wanted to compete against girls because it's easier.
00:13:31.840
Because it's a fast way to get a scholarship, to get a championship title. And again, I think
00:13:40.020
there are men who probably have dealt with a lot of rejection, a lot of embarrassment,
00:13:44.640
because women don't like them, who get off on embarrassing other women. You cannot tell me
00:13:51.780
that this is just an innocent case of a young boy with gender dysphoria who just wants to play.
00:14:00.640
All of this nonsense that you see in the media, let them play, let them play. We're banning transgender
00:14:09.180
people from sports. No one's banning transgender people from sports because there's no such thing as
00:14:14.200
a transgender person. There's a person who believes that they are the opposite sex. There's no one who
00:14:19.620
has ever actually successfully transitioned into the other sex. And so this person can continue to
00:14:26.520
play sports. He just has to compete against boys. Girls have to compete against girls. They are welcome
00:14:33.540
to play. They are welcome to compete, but they cannot compete against the opposite sex. So that is what
00:14:40.460
Maine is protecting. Maine, Janet Mills, a supposed feminist, is for violating the space, the privacy,
00:14:49.540
the rights, the bodies, the protections, the opportunities of girls. And Donald Trump is not
00:14:57.280
afraid to stand up for them. So this is going to court, like Janet Mills said. They announced a Title IX,
00:15:06.320
or the Department of Education, the Federal Department of Education, their civil rights
00:15:10.760
division under Trump, announced its headline investigation into Maine's Department of Education.
00:15:16.020
The investigation could result in Maine schools losing $250 million in annual federal funding.
00:15:22.220
Following the announcement of the DOE's investigation, Governor Mills claimed President Trump does not
00:15:25.860
have the right to withhold funding in an attempt to coerce someone into compliance with his will.
00:15:31.520
Of course he does. That is what the federal government does. They did it under Biden. They
00:15:35.540
did it under Obama. Yes, of course he has the right and the responsibility to do that because this is
00:15:40.500
the right thing. I don't want to hear, well, what if Democrats did this? What if the shoe was on the
00:15:44.760
other foot? Democrats do this. They do this. They would do this. They have done this. And by the way,
00:15:49.580
the Biden administration did this when he took away snap lunches, lunches for poor kids in public
00:15:56.400
schools who received Title IX funding, who did not allow boys into girls' restrooms and locker rooms.
00:16:03.960
The Biden administration said, if you do not do that, if you do not allow these boys into girls'
00:16:09.300
spaces where these girls, by the way, are getting raped, are getting violated by these young men in
00:16:14.080
many cases, if you do not allow that, then we will not give you funding for these lunches and
00:16:21.040
breakfast for these poor students in these impoverished schools. So don't say, well, what
00:16:27.020
is the Democrats? They did do this. They did. And you know what? There's a thing called morality. We
00:16:31.760
don't believe in moral relativism. The difference between Biden doing it and Trump doing it is that
00:16:36.440
Trump is doing it for a good reason and Biden did it for a bad reason. Okay. Trump is doing it to
00:16:41.900
protect girls, the more vulnerable sex, and Biden did it to violate them. One is good. One is bad.
00:16:49.100
conservatives should not be against all power. We are for the existence of the government. We are not
00:16:56.840
anarchists. Of course, we believe in constitutional restraints. We believe in checks and balances.
00:17:02.980
We live in a representative democracy that is inherently supposed to be accountable to us and
00:17:12.100
the different branches accountable to each other. That's how it's supposed to work. But we are not
00:17:16.600
against the use of power for righteous ends. Democrats use that power a lot. They flex those
00:17:23.900
muscles a lot for unrighteous ends. And this is a good thing. President Trump, again, is standing up
00:17:30.260
for women. The Heritage Foundation senior legal fellow Sarah Parshall Perry writes that Maine will lose in
00:17:36.720
court as they battle against the Trump administration because Title IX protects women and Maine must comply
00:17:43.600
with federal civil rights law to receive DOE funding. You'll remember Biden said, no, Title IX means that
00:17:50.640
boys can become girls. And Trump said, nope, that's not. That's actually not how we are interpreting this
00:17:59.760
at all. So good on President Trump. It's also worth knowing the Supreme Court will decide United States
00:18:07.380
v. Scrumetti this term, which will determine whether discrimination based on alleged transgender
00:18:12.960
status is entitled to any heightened scrutiny or protection under the 14th Amendment's equal
00:18:19.400
protection clause. The majority of justices expressed skepticism during oral arguments. We talked about
00:18:24.960
this at the time that so-called transgender status would be entitled to heightened protection. And
00:18:30.000
remember, it kind of goes back to that. Is this an immutable characteristic or not? Which the side
00:18:37.840
defending so-called transgender rights really couldn't be consistent on. Okay, before we move on, I just want
00:18:47.040
to play another great Trump moment. This is more lighthearted. But this morning, President Trump stopped to say
00:18:54.400
hello to the first official White House tour group of this term. And his greeting was followed by the
00:19:01.140
group Chanting USA, which is awesome. Here's up five. Well, I want to thank you very much for coming. The tour is
00:19:06.880
so great. Such a good job. First lady worked very hard in making it perfect. And I think you're going to
00:19:12.700
really love it. And I heard you were here and I said, let's stop by and say hello. Very smart looking people,
00:19:19.080
I must say. Very smart. Maybe someday you'll be, you'll be here as a president, right? Somebody, somebody in this
00:19:25.240
group has a chance. Have a good time. Have a great tour. And you're going to give them a special tour. Okay? You're going to
00:19:42.660
That is so sweet. Imagine being in that tour group. Like, you're just taking a simple tour of the White House and then
00:19:50.040
the President of the United States comes down there to say hello. Also, I love how he credits Melania for making the
00:19:56.720
White House look good. Certified wife guy. I love that. Thank you, President Trump. So sweet. All right. We've got to move on
00:20:04.480
to a very sad story, but it's an important one for us to talk about. And it involves America because we are
00:20:12.640
involved in the conflict in the Middle East between Hamas and Israel. And we just need to give a little
00:20:21.100
bit of an update on what is going on there and make sure that we're thinking clearly and morally about
00:20:27.560
this situation. But let me pause and tell you about Good Ranchers. Good Ranchers is the meat company we
00:20:35.160
trust for all of the meat in this ducky home. I don't know if you know this, but 85% of the grass-fed beef
00:20:40.880
that you are getting in grocery stores is actually from abroad. They're allowed to say that they're made in the USA
00:20:47.420
just because they're packaged in the USA, but most of them are harvested from cows that do not live here. We don't
00:20:54.360
even know the quality, the regulations, all of that in whatever country they're from. But for Good Ranchers, they get
00:21:01.220
all of their meat from America's farms and ranches. And so you can trust that you are supporting American industry. You're getting
00:21:07.260
high-quality craft beef, better than organic chicken, really good seafood. We love their shrimp, their
00:21:13.800
wild-caught salmon. It's so good. We eat their beef almost every night. We had some steak last night. That
00:21:20.800
was amazing. It's just great to have one portion of my meal, my protein accounted for every day. I don't
00:21:27.820
have to think about it. It's always right there in my freezer. I never have to go to the grocery store
00:21:32.640
making sure I'm getting the best quality stuff, the right cut of meat, and then you have to worry
00:21:36.880
about inflation. Thankfully, when you get Good Ranchers, you are getting really affordable and
00:21:41.860
convenient, high-quality American meat sent to your front door every month. And right now, if you go to
00:21:49.000
goodranchers.com and you use my code Allie, you get $25 off. Plus, when you subscribe to any of their
00:21:56.300
boxes, I've got my own customized box that you can buy from. It's great for moms who are on the go.
00:22:02.400
You can also get free ground beef, chicken breast, or salmon in every order for a year. It's a really
00:22:09.800
good deal. Go to ranchers.com, code Allie. So let's talk about the Bibas family and what is going on in
00:22:21.220
Israel. So last Thursday, Israel received the bodies of three hostages held by Hamas, including those of
00:22:26.740
Ariel Bibas. He was four years old when he was taken. And Kiefer Bibas, after the terror group,
00:22:34.100
he was only nine months old and he was taken, after the terror group paraded the coffins on stage in
00:22:38.120
front of cheering crowds. So let's back up a little bit. On October 7th, 2023, we all remember this very
00:22:45.160
fateful day. Hamas perpetrated the worst terrorist attack in Israel's history, killing approximately 1,200
00:22:50.760
civilians, including more than 40 American citizens and kidnapping 251 people, including 12 Americans.
00:22:57.840
And I just want us to sit in that for a second, because when time passes and so many things happen,
00:23:03.160
it's really easy to forget the gravity of any kind of situation, especially when you don't
00:23:09.200
live in a country. And I'm not saying that we have to care equally about everything that happens in
00:23:15.500
every country. In fact, we don't have the capacity to do that. Sometimes social media makes us think
00:23:20.120
that we have to have equal care for everyone at all times. Only God can do that because he is
00:23:25.400
omniscient and he's omnipotent. We do not have that ability. However, this was an especially horrific
00:23:34.280
incident that occurred to one of our allies, really our only real ally in the Middle East,
00:23:41.460
the only real democracy in the Middle East. And they were infiltrated by, they were attacked by
00:23:49.420
a terrorist group that literally paraglided into a music festival and raped, abused and murdered and
00:23:58.080
kidnapped innocent civilians and children. So during the terror attack, the Bebas family was among those
00:24:05.600
abducted from their home, taken hostage. We see this picture, mom, dad, we've got Shiri Bebas, that's
00:24:12.240
the mother, and then Yarden, who is the father and their two sweet little redheaded children. And
00:24:18.240
typically, I don't show the faces of children, you know, in pictures. But in this case, I think it's
00:24:23.720
really important to see who they are and what they looked like and their humanity. So they were all
00:24:31.520
taken. And in the first phase of a ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel, which began on January 19th,
00:24:38.680
Hamas agreed to hand over 33 hostages in return for Israel-freeing 1,900 Palestinian prisoners. So
00:24:44.380
again, I just want to pause there and show you the difference between the two sides. So Hamas
00:24:50.460
is demanding the release of, in many cases, violent, violent criminals, and in some cases, terrorists
00:24:58.860
from Israel's prisons. While Israel is demanding the release of hostages, including children,
00:25:07.660
including babies, innocent civilians that were kidnapped, that were abducted by this terrorist regime.
00:25:13.860
on October 7th. So the two sides right there are not the same. They're not equivalent. Yarden Bebas
00:25:22.200
was released alive by Hamas on February 1st. Then last Thursday, Hamas claimed it was releasing the
00:25:28.700
bodies of Yarden's wife and two sons. Hamas had previously claimed that Shiri and the children were
00:25:35.660
dead, but there was still hope that Hamas had lied about that. We'd seen that in the past, kind of a form
00:25:42.040
of psychological, emotional terrorism. Hamas had lied about this with other hostages. That was the
00:25:48.460
hope who were, you know, and that they were actually alive. Hamas handed over the bodies during what was
00:25:55.120
described as a ceremony with large crowds, including children. And so they had these caskets of Shiri
00:26:02.180
and her two children. So they said, and as they were parading them out, I mean, they look like a
00:26:08.360
terrorist regime, but then you also have these Palestinian civilians that seem to be cheering
00:26:52.260
Celebratory music is playing as they are taking out these caskets of these children and supposedly their mother.
00:27:02.340
And then we have Gazan children who are cheering as this is happening in front of a Bibi Netanyahu poster.
00:27:10.860
The Bibi Netanyahu poster says the war criminal Netanyahu and his Nazi army killed them, this family, with missiles from Zionist warplanes.
00:27:32.480
Just remember that these people from a very young age in Palestine are groomed to hate Jews.
00:27:40.860
And they believe in their righteous cause of totally destroying the Jewish state.
00:27:46.040
And so they're not like above any kind of deceit or any kind of violence because they have been told from infancy that this is a righteous cause that they have been given by Allah himself.
00:27:59.740
And so here are those children cheering as all of this is happening.
00:28:03.220
And so they're just kind of repeating this about Netanyahu and the war crimes.
00:28:22.180
And of course, all of these people, both the members of Hamas and these children are all people made in the image of God.
00:28:29.520
Like, I want salvation for all of these people.
00:28:34.840
And I feel for these children who are not coming up with these thoughts on their own.
00:28:39.360
They are given these thoughts from a very early age and are told you have to repeat it in order to be accepted.
00:28:49.320
But I just want you to see also, this is the pervasive culture there.
00:28:53.540
This idea that Hamas acts alone, that it's completely independent from all Palestinians,
00:28:59.440
and that Palestinians really hate Hamas and they don't agree with Hamas.
00:29:03.580
I don't think that's generally a correct description of what Gaza is like, of what Palestine is like.
00:29:12.400
Now, I'm not saying that there is no one in opposition to Hamas in Palestine.
00:29:17.320
I'm not saying that there are no Christians there.
00:29:19.780
There are Christians there who are persecuted and are very oppressed by Hamas,
00:29:25.640
who obviously don't share the same ideology as this terrorist regime.
00:29:30.240
However, in general, Palestinians agree with this deeply anti-Jewish sentiment and believe this is
00:29:39.420
part of their Islamic dictate to carry out genocide of the Jews.
00:29:47.040
So the coffins themselves that are being carried out each had a picture of the hostages with a
00:29:52.360
sticker that said date of arrest, October 7th, 2023.
00:29:55.740
So even if they are saying, oh, Bibi Netanyahu killed them with their missiles,
00:30:02.060
they are saying that they arrested these people.
00:30:05.020
Now, when they say arrested these people, they are talking about going into Israel
00:30:09.040
and getting these people from their homes and then taking them hostage.
00:30:14.860
So the IDF, Israeli Defense Forces, got the coffins.
00:30:20.080
They had to check the coffins for bombs and make sure that this wasn't another attempt at
00:30:33.460
terrorism by Hamas because, again, you can't really put anything past them.
00:30:37.900
I also want to make a note here about this ceremony and Red Cross's involvement.
00:30:42.620
So Red Cross has kind of been, in some ways, they would call themselves a go-between here.
00:30:49.720
There's been a lot of, I think, just justified criticism of how the Red Cross has acted over
00:30:57.560
So they were collecting the bodies and bringing them to Israeli authorities.
00:31:01.800
At first, they refused to take part in the ceremony.
00:31:05.060
Hamas threatened to keep the bodies if the Red Cross would not participate.
00:31:08.440
So the Red Cross representative signed documents on stage to receive the bodies.
00:31:14.660
The problem is, the sad part here is, is that the body of Shiri Bibas was not the body that
00:31:32.040
Hamas initially sent the remains of an unnamed Gazan woman,
00:31:35.340
later claiming that Shiri's remains were mixed up with other bodies under rubble after an
00:31:42.560
Hamas released the correct remains the following day.
00:31:46.980
And it also just goes to show how valuable or not valuable they find the bodies of their
00:31:55.240
If they're willing to just, like, find a body and send one off as a replacement body,
00:32:00.280
either by mistake, which I don't believe was a mistake, or intentionally, that is a perfect
00:32:05.900
representation of what Hamas does to their own people.
00:32:11.100
Israel is killing civilians and women and children in Gaza, which, of course, is truly,
00:32:15.240
I'm not just saying that to be trite and to try to be even-handed.
00:32:18.680
It's truly a tragedy when any of these civilians die.
00:32:22.520
Like, it is, I do not want any civilian to die.
00:32:31.940
I don't care what their parents believe or have taught to them.
00:32:34.760
Like, I don't want any of these children to die.
00:32:36.460
I don't want any of these babies to be victimized.
00:32:38.740
I don't want any of the women or any of the civilians on either side of this conflict to
00:32:46.760
They headquarter themselves in schools and under hospitals and in civilian areas so that they
00:32:53.600
can use Israel's attacks on them as propaganda to say that Israel is targeting civilians.
00:33:06.680
And so this woman was probably a human shield for Hamas.
00:33:11.220
If that is even true, if the story of this Gazan woman dying by an airstrike is even true,
00:33:17.340
that is because Israel was attacked, unprovoked, in an act of terrorism.
00:33:23.440
They're doing whatever possible to get their innocent people back.
00:33:29.340
We don't like civilian casualties, but it's very hard to limit those when, again, Hamas is
00:33:36.740
Hamas has no regard whatsoever for human life, and that is extremely evident both in their
00:33:43.080
treatment of their own people and in their treatment of the Israeli people.
00:33:48.640
So Hamas claimed that these hostages whose remains were returned, so eventually the mom,
00:33:53.500
then these two sweet babies, that they had been killed in those airstrikes.
00:33:57.740
But Israel said that their forensic testing found, and this is very gruesome, it's very gruesome,
00:34:03.340
found that these two young boys had been killed by their captors with their bare hands, beaten
00:34:07.900
to death, and then suffocated, then choked to death after their kidnapping on October 7th.
00:34:15.780
We don't know why exactly they were killed, probably because they were too difficult to care for.
00:34:23.900
I mean, you've got a baby who is not, I mean, I'm trying really hard not to cry, but you've
00:34:28.260
had a baby who was probably breastfeeding, and they probably, for the sake of torture and
00:34:34.160
punishment, separated the mom and the babies, and so they were probably crying a lot, they
00:34:39.320
were probably screaming, they were probably making a lot of noise, and they were probably
00:34:47.160
And so they murdered these boys, they murdered the mom, we don't know when, we don't know how,
00:34:52.180
did she see the torture and the murder of her babies, I don't know, we don't know exactly
00:34:58.400
how that happened, but that is who Israel is dealing with here.
00:35:03.240
Israeli spokesman, Rear Admiral Daniel Hogari said, Ariel and Kiefer Bibas were murdered by
00:35:11.340
The terrorists did not shoot the two young boys, they killed them with their bare hands.
00:35:17.080
It's just too much, it's just too much, but it's important for us to make sure that we
00:35:23.300
know what's going on, that we make sure that we understand that evil really does exist.
00:35:28.960
And look, I am America first, and as I've said so many times, every single government has
00:35:35.880
the right and the responsibility to put the best interest, the safety, and the security of
00:35:43.800
First, no country has the obligation to give money or give defense or give anything to another
00:35:52.920
Now, they may choose to do that, it may be strategically in their favor to do that, it may be an act
00:36:01.080
of altruism, which I don't really think exists in foreign policy, but it could just be because
00:36:06.120
a country thinks it's the right thing to do out of compassion, but it typically has to do
00:36:13.200
And so a country may choose to do that, but if they choose to be isolationist, I think that
00:36:20.080
So I am saying this as someone who is America first all the way.
00:36:26.280
I do not see, I do not see how someone can look at what's happening to, look at what's
00:36:34.040
happening in this conflict, and say, well, there's bad on both sides.
00:36:38.220
Of course, in every single conflict, because we live in a fallen world, there is bad on
00:36:43.520
I am not someone who is here to defend Israel at all costs, or defend any country at all
00:36:48.280
I don't even defend everything America does at all costs, because I don't believe in every
00:36:56.240
So I'm not saying that Israel is above criticism, but when we look at what is happening there,
00:37:01.780
when we look at the actions of Hamas, when we look at what has occurred to these hostages,
00:37:12.700
I don't see how you can be a moral relativist and see that.
00:37:15.660
I don't see how you cannot see the unique threat of Islam.
00:37:22.140
The unique threat of Islam that is not characteristic of any other religion or belief system in all
00:37:30.900
And people accuse evangelicals of being propagandized by the Schofield Bible and dispensationalism.
00:37:40.440
I've never read a Schofield Bible, and I know the arguments that the interpretation has been
00:37:46.080
taken into other translations and that we've all been propagandized and lied to by Israel
00:38:05.960
There is no group that oppresses Muslims like Muslims.
00:38:10.180
Everywhere there is a large group of Muslims, whether it's in the Middle East or in Europe,
00:38:20.140
If you look at the long list of terrorist regimes around the world, 99% of them are Muslim groups.
00:38:28.920
That is the ideology that characterizes Palestine.
00:38:32.220
And then you've got Israel, who, again, I don't even know every single policy that has
00:38:37.100
ever been implemented by Israel to even defend every single policy, but I do know it is a
00:38:45.840
I do know that Christians live in Israel, that there is at least a degree of religious
00:38:51.120
liberty and free speech that exists there, that I can travel there safely as a woman, as
00:38:59.520
And I cannot go to the Muslim world and say the same thing.
00:39:05.180
I'm looking at the two ideologies, the two sets of ideas that are represented by each
00:39:10.820
country, and I want to protect that tiny democracy, the home of so many sacred sites, both for Jews
00:39:19.740
I want to protect that small democratic country that is the subject of, that is the victim of
00:39:28.960
constant attempted genocides by the Muslim world.
00:39:38.060
And we can debate over how America is involved in that, what that looks like, to what extent.
00:39:46.040
I don't think it's a matter of, like, we should give them unconditional aid and weaponry.
00:39:53.240
But, like, if I'm going to stand on one side and say, I hope this side wins, it's going
00:39:59.740
Okay, we don't even have to get into the theological conversation of that, aspects of that.
00:40:05.940
I can just look at what's happening and say, yeah, one side seems right and one side seems
00:40:16.500
And also, I just pray for these families, for the hostages, for the families of the
00:40:25.420
And I would just be very, I would be very careful about the propaganda and, again, the
00:40:30.580
toxic empathy, emotional manipulation that is being used against us on this, on this subject.
00:40:37.000
And speaking of violence and worldviews and Islam, I also want to bring up the horrible
00:40:47.560
According to Open Doors U.S., which monitors Christian persecution around the world, 70 Christians
00:40:52.280
in the Democratic Republic of Congo were forced from their homes early in the morning of February
00:40:57.300
13th by Islamist rebels from the Allied Democratic Forces.
00:41:01.500
Just remember, also, the names of these things mean nothing.
00:41:04.060
I've had people try to tell me, China's Republic, the People's Republic of China.
00:41:13.500
So Allied Democratic Forces, a group affiliated with terror group, Islamic State, or ISIS, they
00:41:18.740
brought them to a small church where they were all tied up and beheaded.
00:41:22.700
So at first, 20 Christian men and women came out, were captured during this early morning
00:41:27.380
Later, many from the community gathered to figure out how to release or rescue these hostages.
00:41:31.480
However, these militants surrounded the village and captured another 50 Christians.
00:41:36.420
The hostages were moved to a small Christian church where they were then killed.
00:41:40.580
The Islamic terrorist group would not let Christian leaders bury the dead for over five days.
00:41:45.980
John Samuel, Open Doors legal expert for sub-Saharan Africa, stated,
00:41:50.040
The violence takes place in a context of impunity where almost no one is held accountable.
00:41:55.200
This massacre is a clear indicator of widespread human rights violations against civilians and
00:42:00.840
vulnerable communities, often targeting Christians perpetrated by ADF and Islamic State affiliate.
00:42:08.280
The group has not taken credit for it, but it has been established that they did carry out
00:42:14.520
This, unfortunately, has been happening for a long time, and this kind of Islamist violence
00:42:21.160
is extremely pervasive on the continent of Africa.
00:42:25.620
Really, just Islam as a worldview, as an ideology, is just anti-peace.
00:42:34.460
Again, everywhere there are groups of Islamists, groups of Muslims throughout Europe.
00:42:42.060
Crime goes up, violence goes up, sex crimes against women and children grow up.
00:42:50.580
Does that mean that every single person who identifies as a Muslim is going to be violent,
00:42:55.980
is going to be barbaric, is going to be a terrorist?
00:43:00.020
But as a whole, I mean, look at the Muslim-majority world.
00:43:04.480
Again, look at the terrorist regimes and what ideology they are a part of.
00:43:08.580
And this is the strangest part of left-wing ideology, and progressivism is their protection of Islam.
00:43:18.300
Despite Islam having nothing in common with LGBTQ, in fact, they shove those people off of buildings,
00:43:28.300
Nothing in common with your typical, like, progressive UC Berkeley professor,
00:43:34.100
when really all it comes down to for progressivism is that they hate Christians.
00:43:47.860
And so they don't have to think very hard about, like, what Muslims really believe.
00:43:52.100
They just think brown non-Christian good and white Christian bad, anti-America good, America bad.
00:44:00.380
And so they see that reflected in Islam, and they get on board with it.
00:44:05.240
And so that's why you don't see the media talking about this at all.
00:44:08.540
Like, they're not going to raise a ruckus about dozens of Christians being beheaded.
00:44:14.860
They don't care that Christianity is actually the most persecuted religion in the world.
00:44:21.220
The vast majority of people who are persecuted in the world religiously are Christians.
00:44:26.860
And people forget that, or people don't know that, or people deny that, argue with me when I say that.
00:44:35.420
And it's not because that information isn't available, because it is very readily available,
00:44:43.900
And unfortunately, even the conservative among us, you know,
00:44:48.900
they allow their outrage and their care to be dictated by what the media talks about.
00:44:54.300
So make sure that we are praying for our brothers and sisters in Christ.
00:45:00.040
When Jesus is talking about the least of these, what you do to the least of these you do unto me,
00:45:08.760
He is talking about persecuted Christians around the world.
00:45:13.500
He is not talking about the world's poor, because he says,
00:45:17.000
the least of these, my brothers, the least of these, my brothers.
00:45:23.700
And he also says in Galatians, or God says in Galatians 6.10,
00:45:32.640
So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone,
00:45:36.960
and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
00:45:40.720
Actually, we see over and over again throughout Scripture
00:45:43.440
that we are really supposed to prioritize the well-being of
00:45:50.380
and the care of fellow believers before we look to everyone else.
00:45:56.740
And so think often, pray often for those who are persecuted,
00:46:02.420
Christians who are persecuted both here, but especially abroad.
00:46:13.400
and it kind of ties into everything that we're talking about,
00:46:16.200
because progressives claim to have a monopoly on empathy and compassion.
00:46:23.120
she said as much last night at her Lifetime Achievement Awards celebration.
00:46:31.520
Let me tell you about our last sponsor, and that is Jace Medical.
00:46:36.380
They offer an emergency supply of medication to have on hand in the event of an emergency
00:46:40.720
or when professional medical help is not readily available.
00:46:44.040
They'd like to thank all the first responders out there,
00:46:46.560
as we've been dealing with snowstorms, fires, other intense weather across the country.
00:46:50.660
It's easy to forget how many people put their lives on the line to save their fellow Americans,
00:46:54.660
but first responders can't be everywhere all at once.
00:46:59.560
And when it comes to emergencies, the thing you need to remember is that you are your own first responder.
00:47:04.760
One of the most important tools you can have in your kit is Jace Case.
00:47:09.520
If you're the type of person who wants to be prepared when disaster strikes,
00:47:13.000
you're going to want this kit for your home, for your family.
00:47:15.780
They offer a personalized emergency kit that contains essential antibiotics and medications
00:47:21.480
that treat the most common and deadly bacterial infections.
00:47:24.140
It provides five life-saving antibiotics for emergency use.
00:47:32.860
They're doing a giveaway right now of a free Jace Go case,
00:47:36.160
or you can purchase your case by entering code Allie, and you'll get a discount.
00:47:40.900
Okay, Jane Fonda is a year younger than my grandmother who died like five years ago,
00:47:57.500
She obviously has a very, she's got a, you know, a long career in acting,
00:48:12.420
maybe you weren't alive during this time, but you heard about it
00:48:19.300
with like an anti-aircraft missile in North Vietnam,
00:48:24.080
and South Vietnamese people and Americans were obviously very upset about this
00:48:29.440
because it seemed like a stunt to show that she is pro-communism.
00:48:32.780
She was against the Vietnam War, but it actually seemed like she was on the side
00:48:40.300
She has been a woke progressive for a very long time,
00:48:43.400
and a lot of people, understandably, were very angry with her after that stunt.
00:48:47.420
It's not just being, it's not just about being against the Vietnam War,
00:48:56.240
Jane Fonda joked about murdering pro-life politicians and activists on the VO.
00:49:13.000
And she probably will get a Nobel Prize very soon.
00:49:18.800
Besides marching and protesting, what else do you suggest?
00:49:47.340
She's sitting there very seriously looking off to the side
00:49:55.360
that the very people who believe that we should murder unborn babies
00:49:58.660
also want to kill people outside of the womb for disagreeing with them.
00:50:07.300
Jane Fonda gets to tell us what it means to be a good person, y'all.
00:50:12.160
So last night as she was accepting a Lifetime Achievement Award
00:50:28.220
And by the way, woke just means you give a damn about other people.
00:50:35.000
She says a whole lot of people are going to be really hurt
00:50:39.320
Even if they're of a different political persuasion,
00:50:41.840
we need to call upon our empathy and not judge,
00:50:44.800
but listen from our hearts and welcome them into our tent.
00:50:47.460
We are going to need a big tent to resist successfully what's coming at us.
00:50:53.740
and we're going to have tyranny and totalitarianism.
00:50:56.380
She expects people who voted for Trump to be like,
00:50:59.060
oh my gosh, Jane Fonda, all of you liberals were right.
00:51:02.560
Kamala Harris really would have been a great president.
00:51:07.080
And by the way, their empathy gets people killed.
00:51:10.480
Their empathy means killing babies in the womb,
00:51:20.040
Also, Jane Fonda and other people can feel better about themselves.
00:51:28.680
ignoring the true victims on the other side of the moral equation,
00:51:39.740
who mistakenly think that their progressivism makes them good people,
00:51:50.920
If you want to know more about the subject, toxic empathy,
00:51:53.840
if you want a very thorough but quick breakdown
00:52:02.180
It is, thank the Lord, a New York Times bestseller.
00:52:05.140
And I hope and believe it's helped a lot of people,
00:52:12.760
that tries to manipulate us into being on the left side.
00:52:21.900
on how we should think about some of the biggest
