Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and that you are having a great start to your week.
00:01:24.760
Remember, God's eternal plan of redemption is always going off without a hitch.
00:01:29.020
He is not surprised. He is not taken aback. He is not thrown off by anything.
00:01:33.100
He is never looking down and wondering what is going on.
00:01:37.740
And one day he is coming back and he will make every wrong right and he will do away with all injustice and oppression and evildoers.
00:01:45.880
And when it seems like evil is winning, we can always go back to Psalm 37 that tells us not to fret over the evildoer,
00:01:52.820
even when it seems like he's prospering and succeeding, that Jesus is coming back, that Jesus wins, that Jesus is king.
00:02:00.060
And so that is our hope. And we walk forward in that hope, in that joy, knowing that we are completely immortal until God calls us home.
00:02:07.940
And we serve a God who is surprised by nothing.
00:02:10.300
You are placed on this tiny speck of the universe, on this small spot of eternity, by a God who does nothing by accident.
00:02:17.120
Your existence, your children's, and your children's children's existence, the time and the place in which they are put in history,
00:02:26.040
all of that is done by a God who does everything with purpose and intention and cares very much.
00:02:32.160
So as we talk about some of the things that we're going to get into today, some of them sad and troubling and disturbing,
00:02:38.740
we have to remember that this is our Father's world and that he's not doing nothing about evil.
00:02:44.840
His wrath is kindling, and one day he will do away with all of it.
00:02:49.460
So if today you feel any kind of prompting, like, wow, who is this God? What is Christianity?
00:02:55.160
What is this faith that she is talking about? Don't ignore it. Don't push that feeling down.
00:02:59.960
I have lots of resources that I've talked about on this show and on my Instagram about how you can start reading the Bible
00:03:05.640
and how to find a biblical church. That is your next step.
00:03:10.840
All right, let's talk about some of these disturbing things that happened over the weekend,
00:03:15.400
and that would be the No King's Day demonstrations.
00:03:19.600
Now, you might have heard about No King's Day because they just had a whole day of demonstrations just a couple months ago in July,
00:03:26.800
but they're already back. They're already having new demonstrations.
00:03:30.340
I guess the demand for No King's Day was just so high that they felt, okay, we need more nationwide protests.
00:03:37.660
And if you're wondering, No King's Day is orchestrated by a bunch of far-left activist groups
00:03:45.480
that say that they are protesting against Donald Trump's tyranny, against his dictatorship.
00:03:52.480
Now, what exactly is he doing that is not in line with liberty, that is not in line with democratic ideals?
00:04:04.880
It seems that a big issue that they all have is that Donald Trump has the audacity to believe in borders
00:04:12.520
and believe that America should just be for American citizens,
00:04:16.520
that we should put the interest and the well-being and the safety of America
00:04:20.300
before the interest and well-being and safety of other countries.
00:04:24.440
The belief that literally everyone has had for all of time in every country,
00:04:38.800
First one was, I think I said July, it was actually on June 14th.
00:04:42.520
Um, according to the website, over 2,700 No King's Day protests took place,
00:04:51.160
I have no idea how you count that, although I do believe that they were a lot of places.
00:04:56.640
I saw it in the city where I live, in the suburbs, in places that you would consider to be pretty conservative.
00:05:03.860
I mean, there were a lot of people out there demonstrating.
00:05:07.040
Um, so this is, of course, the party of empathy and peace.
00:05:11.640
And so all of their demonstrations were peaceful, right?
00:05:15.140
And they were very joyful and, uh, very unifying.
00:05:19.640
And they were just out there trying to show us what it looks like to be good, compassionate Americans.
00:05:26.500
Well, let me show you some pictures of some demonstrators.
00:05:33.220
We've got this woman up here on the top corner there.
00:05:37.860
And in the video, which I think we might even, yeah, we have a video, I think, of her.
00:05:46.000
So we can see, and we can play that in a second, where she is, as people are filming her,
00:05:51.840
she is pretending to be Charlie Kirk shot in the neck.
00:05:57.820
She's also holding a Mexican flag, even though she's here in America.
00:06:01.520
Um, I don't think that she's a starving refugee.
00:06:05.000
I'm just going to kind of like put that together.
00:06:12.740
We've got this guy right here who is dressed up as the suspect in Charlie Kirk's assassination.
00:06:22.620
He's wearing the shirt that the suspect was wearing when he murdered Charlie Kirk, wearing
00:06:28.560
the same kind of get up with the sunglasses and the hat.
00:06:39.180
So I think what they're trying to say there is that they were both fake, that those things
00:06:45.300
were set up, that they were some kind of political point.
00:06:49.180
I mean, how cold hearted can you be to minimize something like that?
00:06:54.160
Not only Trump's attempted assassination, but the grief of a widow.
00:06:59.320
I mean, you are so spiritually calloused and so cold.
00:07:05.980
If you not only thought that you just, I can't even imagine having that impulse at all, even
00:07:12.600
But then to take the time to plan that out and to write it down and to hold it up as if
00:07:21.940
And if objective evil exists, then something else has to exist too.
00:07:26.500
I truly believe God can use even this evil to point people towards himself because that's
00:07:37.240
That's a little mantra that we've been hearing over the years from progressives.
00:07:46.260
I'm going to play you some videos in a second of something extremely disturbing.
00:07:51.880
And I'm not saying this represents every single protester out there.
00:07:55.700
I'm not saying this is every single person in the Democratic Party or every single progressive
00:08:01.280
But it's obviously enough people that are pro-violence, that are pro-assassination to make you second
00:08:09.940
guess if your progressive ideas and your progressive ideology really do have good intentions.
00:08:18.800
Like you should probably start thinking about that.
00:08:25.920
They're the ones that are pro-assassination of their political enemies.
00:08:31.240
Maybe you should just start second guessing whether the Christian nationalists are really the bad
00:08:46.180
No one wants to ask themselves that question, but it's time.
00:08:49.840
Okay, let me go ahead and pause and tell you a couple exciting things.
00:08:53.320
Well, the first exciting thing is that if you missed Share the Arrows, my Christian women's
00:09:00.700
We had almost 7,000 women there listening to sound biblical teaching, being encouraged,
00:09:06.260
making godly friendships, and also worshiping together.
00:09:09.180
And a lot of you wanted to make it, but you couldn't make it.
00:09:12.480
If you subscribe to Blaze TV and you go to blazetv.com slash Allie, you subscribe.
00:09:18.220
You get to watch all of Share the Arrows, not only this year, but last year too.
00:09:22.340
You can subscribe and you can bring a bunch of friends over and y'all can watch it together.
00:09:27.720
And you get access to all Blaze TV subscriber exclusive content.
00:09:33.420
And when you use my code Allie, you get a $20 discount on that subscription.
00:09:39.560
I really encourage you to watch Share the Arrows.
00:09:41.860
You will walk away from that feeling so encouraged.
00:09:45.880
Okay, next thing that I want to talk to you about is 7 Weeks Coffee.
00:09:57.180
It is super high quality, clean, pesticide-free, mold-free, ethically sourced, all the good stuff.
00:10:06.200
But the best part is they donate 10% of every sale to pregnancy centers across the country.
00:10:12.000
And so that means that they have donated over $1 million to these pregnancy centers that are saving lives.
00:10:18.960
So because you have chosen to allow your coffee to serve a higher purpose, they have been able to be generous and to save the lives of those tiny image bearers of God, to serve moms and dads, to make sure they know the gospel and that their material needs are met well.
00:10:35.400
You can be a part of that just by buying from 7 Weeks Coffee.
00:10:40.500
You'll get a box of coffee to your front door every month.
00:10:45.260
And then when you use my code Allie, you save an extra 10%.
00:10:48.100
So lots of discounts, lots of good happening when you buy your coffee from 7 Weeks Coffee.
00:11:03.260
Okay, let me, I'm just going to warn you, this is disturbing.
00:11:06.140
I know that a lot of you watch Relatable, listen to Relatable with your kids.
00:11:11.280
And just know that the content that we're about to play is disturbing.
00:11:15.260
And maybe if they're mature enough, this can start some conversations that you can have.
00:11:20.000
But I just want you to be able to make the best decision.
00:11:22.760
But we have to be able to look evil in the eye and see what it really looks like and see, gosh, how much this world really needs Jesus.
00:11:30.480
So here is that woman from earlier, the picture that you saw imitating Charlie Kirk being shot, Sot 2.
00:11:41.660
So there's a lot of reporting about who this woman is.
00:11:46.300
Some people are saying that she is an elementary school teacher and a name is going around that apparently matches her.
00:11:54.160
But the school that has kind of been like looped into this, that people are saying she, that's the school where she teaches.
00:12:04.960
And so because there seems to be some conflicting reports, I don't want to say the name that's floating around.
00:12:12.420
And what if that school is being targeted and the name of that teacher is being used and it's not her at all?
00:12:21.160
This particular lady, though, like there is no mistaking what she was actually doing.
00:12:25.420
And that is evil and I just want to also be clear, like I support her actual identity being revealed and I do believe that she should lose her job.
00:12:35.380
Yes, there should be social consequences to being evil.
00:12:38.840
And as I've said before, that doesn't make me a radical.
00:12:44.520
It's not crazy for me to say, hey, if you are pro-assassination of your political enemies, I don't want you teaching kids.
00:12:51.500
I don't want you talking as a therapist to someone in a vulnerable mental health crisis.
00:12:58.720
I don't want you taking care of old people in the old folks home.
00:13:02.620
Like, I don't want you to be the person giving anesthesia to the guy who's about to get surgery.
00:13:09.880
Like, I don't think you should be in a position of taking care of vulnerable people, shaping their minds and like caring for their bodies.
00:13:18.600
Like, you should be as irrelevant to the human population as possible without actually going to jail.
00:13:27.660
Because I don't want there to be legal consequences for, you know, actual speech.
00:13:34.940
And of course, where actual threats and, you know, incentivizing violence come in, there is a legal component to that.
00:13:42.740
But there should be consequences for this kind of abject evil.
00:13:50.360
And I have quite the commentary to say about this woman who, I mean, this is the kind of woman that you would walk, you know, you might run into her in the grocery store.
00:14:00.000
She would probably give her pleasantries and, you know, be very nice.
00:14:06.680
I have to ask this because people on the other side are going to say that they feel like the Democrat Party has been mean recently with Charlie Kirk being assassinated.
00:14:22.960
I am so tired of people saying, oh, but, you know, it's a terrible thing.
00:14:38.080
It was disgusting the things that he said and did.
00:14:52.340
You suck the energy and joy and purpose and goodness from every room you walk into and you know it.
00:14:58.340
And that is why you are seeking fulfillment from this pointless political protest because you have probably actually been directing your energy into your profession, into plants, into politics your entire life rather than into people, which is why you are so incredibly miserable.
00:15:14.440
OK, like I said, this could be someone's grandmother, probably not, probably not.
00:15:20.520
And this is actually a consequence of like the childlessness epidemic that we have in society, that you have all of these just like listless people who don't know where to direct their energy.
00:15:32.940
And so we've talked about this before, this phenomenon, especially among older white women of misplaced mothering.
00:15:40.660
And because they are not channeling their God-given mothering instincts into people, into their own children, into the next generation in some way, they are channeling it in directions that are not actually healthy.
00:15:56.420
And so they believe that they are mothering the migrant, that they are mothering the criminal, that they are mothering the people who are on the margins of society.
00:16:08.700
But it's actually a lazy way to demonstrate that you're a good person, which means you're not a good person at all.
00:16:14.800
In the same way that socialism is like outsourcing your compassion to the government, like this is social justice is outsourcing your virtue to the government.
00:16:28.820
And just like a spoiler, if you are cheering on the assassination of someone that you disagreed with, this husband and father, this evangelist, you are the evil person.
00:16:44.840
I just want you to know that, like you are the evil person.
00:16:48.320
And that, by the way, just a tip, when someone says something like that, oh, the evil that he said, the evil that he did, that's when you ask like what?
00:16:59.460
And this can get any discussion or debate really going, or it can shut it down.
00:17:06.560
And just you don't have to try to step in and help them because it'll be awkward.
00:17:13.960
You don't have to try to put words in their mouth when they start stammering and stuttering.
00:17:20.360
And when they can't tell you specifics, that actually, it's not really just about humiliating them.
00:17:30.860
Because I can't tell you how often I have said like what.
00:17:33.960
And that has actually planted a seed in that person's brain to start thinking about, wait, hang on.
00:17:43.460
Wait, did I just repeat something that I've never really thought about before that I couldn't verify?
00:17:47.660
So those two words, like what, can help you think through why you believe what you believe, but also the person that you are opposing in that moment.
00:17:57.140
Okay, here are some more examples of things that were going on at these no kings protests over the weekend.
00:18:18.160
You get triggered because it has Charlie on there, right?
00:18:31.840
He hated anyone that wasn't white, that wasn't male, that wasn't straight.
00:18:37.160
He, Charlie, hated anyone that wasn't white, that wasn't male, that wasn't straight.
00:18:43.060
Well, as someone who is not male, I can say that Charlie didn't hate me, didn't hate his wife, didn't hate his daughter.
00:18:52.440
This person's wearing like a Ruth Bader Ginsburg shirt there.
00:18:56.540
These people are just, you have to understand, I'm not saying this to be rude.
00:19:00.760
These people in these videos are very, very unwell.
00:19:06.260
But it's not just, I don't want it to say like mental health crisis.
00:19:09.820
Because I actually think that's just an excuse for evil.
00:19:28.860
I don't want to let these people off the hook just because they're probably on, you know, three different SSRIs.
00:19:37.220
There are plenty of people who do actually struggle with mental health issues that are not like this.
00:19:42.640
So those two things really do go hand in hand in this case.
00:19:58.380
And I just want to know, like, what happened there?
00:20:29.060
Certainly there's a soccer game that you should be at right now.
00:20:34.100
Like, what happened to elderly people playing bridge?
00:20:37.900
My grandmother, God bless her soul, in her later years, she did a lot of Bible study.
00:20:49.020
She loved to play bingo and go to the hair and the nail salon.
00:20:55.320
Because, I mean, of course, if you are at an age where you can continue to work and you have that strength, I think that's great.
00:21:02.780
But definitely your last years should not be at this kind of completely empty protest.
00:21:11.080
I mean, if you can stand up for what is truly right, no matter what your age is, I think that's a good thing here.
00:21:16.600
But this, something that doesn't make any sense, I don't think it's a good way to spend your time.
00:21:23.120
Because truly, the no kinks protest by people who would love a kink, who love tyranny, who actually love dictatorships, it just doesn't make any sense.
00:21:36.800
I mean, these are the very people who wanted to force kids to wear masks, who wanted you to be fired from your job if you didn't get an experimental vaccine.
00:21:46.200
These are the very same people that support taking children out of their parents' homes if their parents don't affirm the stated gender identity of a person who don't want Christians to be able to adopt in places like Oregon or Washington or Illinois,
00:22:01.300
because they won't affirm the potential gender identity of a future foster kid.
00:22:09.800
These are stories that we have covered in specificity many times over the years.
00:22:13.580
They supported Joe Biden directing the USDA to remove paid student lunches from poor schools that didn't abide by the rewrite of Title IX,
00:22:23.900
which said you have to allow boys into girls' bathrooms or you don't get lunch for poor kids.
00:22:28.660
That's something that actually happened under Joe Biden.
00:22:31.660
Did any of these no kinks protesters have anything to say about that?
00:22:36.060
COVID tyranny, medical tyranny, gender tyranny.
00:22:41.040
Over and over again, we have seen Democrats support more government overreach, lurching closer to socialism.
00:22:49.120
I mean, these very people who are demonstrating in places like New York City saying no kings are about to elect Momdani,
00:22:57.220
who is an out-and-out socialist, who does not believe in personal freedoms,
00:23:02.780
who does believe that the government should step in and curb our constitutional liberties for the sake of equality and equity.
00:23:12.960
They support the forced redistribution of wealth and capital to those who are either impoverished
00:23:20.100
or those who have darker skin color than us in the name of equality.
00:23:26.400
Like, you know which side the Democrats would have been on in 1776.
00:23:31.640
Like, you know it wouldn't have been on the side of the republic.
00:23:35.340
You know they would have been cheering on King George.
00:23:37.700
And the funny thing is, also, you have a lot of these people, like, dressed up as founders.
00:23:43.380
Okay, well, the founders also wrote the Second Amendment.
00:23:46.520
Y'all completely disdain the Constitution, except when you think that it is a way to manipulate
00:23:53.600
the apolitical people who don't really know what's going on into opposing Donald Trump.
00:24:00.920
Like, it's just crazy to think these are the people that people like David French and Russell Moore
00:24:08.080
actually think are more right and more sophisticated and, like, more godly in a lot of ways
00:24:15.540
than the conservatives who support Donald Trump.
00:24:19.420
I mean, these people have been talking about, like, winsomeness and peace and constitutionality,
00:24:26.640
but they have nothing to say about the abject evil on their own side.
00:24:30.600
But they will, like, pick the most random people that they can find that are kind of associated
00:24:35.520
with the right and be like, this is representative of conservatism and MAGA Christianity.
00:24:47.300
And then we have another round of peaceful protesters.
00:24:52.880
We've got even kids, pinata of Trump, even kids hitting this pinata, teaching kids to
00:25:05.920
And that violence is an answer if they disagree with someone.
00:25:11.700
I'm glad that these are our future voters, future neighbors of our children.
00:25:19.280
And then we also have these inflatable costumes.
00:25:46.740
I don't know if I had something I'd say on camera, bro.
00:25:48.760
Okay, so that guy needs to be checked out by the authorities.
00:25:54.800
He says that he would kill Stephen Miller if he had a chance.
00:25:59.100
Stephen Miller has been so incredibly villainized by the left.
00:26:03.500
And I just want to know, truly, like, what is his horrible crime?
00:26:07.380
Is his horrible crime that he believes in deporting illegal aliens, especially violent ones?
00:26:12.940
Is his horrible crime that we should have borders and that he believes in the sovereignty of our nation?
00:26:18.500
Again, like, 99% of human history has believed about nations.
00:26:25.000
Is that he's kind of, like, mean sometimes or he says some things that are kind of, like, harsh?
00:26:34.840
And I have been in interviews, like, baited into trying to criticize and, like, distance conservatism from Stephen Miller.
00:26:42.600
And I'm just, like, not, I'm not falling for that.
00:26:45.600
Like, why is he elevated as the worst guy ever just because he is 100% right on immigration policy?
00:26:58.860
Like, I really support people that are angry about evil.
00:27:03.800
And I'm not talking about every single illegal immigrant being a criminal gang member.
00:27:13.680
And he also, and he's shared this, that he was texting with Charlie before Charlie died.
00:27:18.420
Like, he is intent upon, like, breaking up these left-wing radical cells of domestic terrorists.
00:27:29.400
And Stephen Miller, to me, seems to be very opposed to evil.
00:27:33.460
But, of course, when you have people like this who are just so dead morally, like, evil is good and good is evil to them.
00:27:47.480
There's an upside to this and a downside to this.
00:27:51.720
The upside, well, let me start with the downside.
00:27:54.560
The downside is that you are really, literally risking your life when you hold and say common-sense positions like our nation should have borders.
00:28:05.600
But then the upside is that the normal person doesn't want to be associated with people like this.
00:28:18.300
At the very worst, it is so violent and ugly and extreme that most people, even if they would be sympathetic to the progressive side, are like, well, I don't want to go there.
00:28:29.980
And that has been a huge shift in the past few years.
00:28:34.740
Like, this is, I hope Republicans have a strategy, even more of a strategy to get the suburban mom, because the average suburban mom looks at something like that and it's like, I don't want to sound like that.
00:28:44.980
I don't want to look like that and I don't want to smell like that.
00:28:47.240
So most normie people are just naturally, like, repulsed by the movement represented by what we see here.
00:29:00.800
However, really, it's just going to be, I think, leaning to the right by default.
00:29:08.380
Just a little bit more about the background and who is funding these ridiculous activist groups in just a second before we get to our next topic.
00:29:16.760
But let me go ahead and tell you about our next sponsor for the day.
00:29:21.780
You guys know I've been talking about Adele for a long time.
00:29:24.440
Maybe you got to meet Arlene and her family at Share the Arrows.
00:29:31.220
They are completely unapologetic about being Christian, about being pro-life.
00:29:34.780
They conduct their business in a way that honors God in how they make their products and how they market their products.
00:29:42.400
Every single product from Adele Natural Cosmetics is made with completely holistic natural ingredients.
00:29:48.160
They don't have any synthetic fragrances or any bad ingredients that you have to worry about irritating your skin or being toxic for your skin.
00:30:10.400
But really, all of their products are amazing, including their makeup.
00:30:14.280
And it's just another way to support an unapologetically a pro-life and Christian business.
00:30:29.120
According to Blaze Media, left-wing billionaire George Soros has been funding foundations that financially support the No Kings protest against Donald Trump.
00:30:44.760
Every left-wing activist group basically is funded by the Open Society, which is George Soros' foundation.
00:30:52.240
Fox News says that Soros' Open Society Action Fund gave a $3 million grant to an organization named Indivisible.
00:31:04.280
Like every progressive euphemism, it actually means the opposite of what they say.
00:31:11.400
And they are behind many of these No Kings protests.
00:31:15.080
The website for the Open Society Foundation described the two-year grant as supporting the group's social welfare activities.
00:31:24.120
They are not for the welfare, the well-being of society.
00:31:27.660
The Fox News report found that Open Society Foundations had granted more than $7.61 million to another organization that's also part of orchestrating the protests.
00:31:38.640
It is also worth pointing out that the protesters are marching against Donald Trump, who has only served for four years and nine months.
00:31:47.660
But the Democrat politicians that they support unwaveringly have been serving for a very long time.
00:32:08.320
I feel like Elizabeth Warren has been in Congress a lot longer than 15 years.
00:32:13.080
Anyway, and so these people who have been grabbing for power, who oppose the Constitution,
00:32:20.420
especially when it comes to religious liberty, especially when it comes to the Second Amendment.
00:32:25.520
These people aren't being protested against, but the guy who supports your Second Amendment rights,
00:32:30.380
who supports your free speech rights, who has been a champion for religious liberty,
00:32:34.520
who is allowing you to demonstrate and protest and criticize and joke about killing him and assaulting him,
00:32:45.420
Like, just an FYI, kings don't allow you to protest against them.
00:32:50.180
Tyrannical kings don't allow you to criticize them.
00:32:57.220
Tyrannical kings don't allow you to organize billion-dollar demonstrations against their rule.
00:33:08.020
Tyrannical kings don't allow you to keep in bare arms.
00:33:19.420
What's going on is that we finally have a president who actually cares about our country,
00:33:23.560
cares about our borders, cares about our sovereignty,
00:33:25.680
and cares about basic safety in once great American cities.
00:33:35.440
Speaker Mike Johnson highlighted the ridiculousness of No King's Day.
00:33:43.600
But the irony of the message is pretty clear for everyone.
00:33:46.780
If President Trump was a king, the government would be open right now.
00:33:49.900
If President Trump was a king, they would not have been able to engage in that free speech exercise out on the mall,
00:33:54.400
by the way, which was open because President Trump hasn't closed it.
00:33:57.560
In the last shutdown, 2013 era, President Obama closed the National Mall.
00:34:11.380
He's closed the government down because he needs political cover, and this was a part of it.
00:34:18.940
And I'm sad that people have been caught up in this ridiculous propaganda and rhetoric.
00:34:29.600
You know, when people go down the Blue Anon rabbit hole, I mean, they really just become obsessive.
00:34:36.940
And I know it can feel hard to talk to them, especially the people in your life.
00:34:41.500
But remember, your job is just to plant a seed.
00:34:47.260
Your job isn't to win every debate or to win every argument.
00:34:53.260
And a lot of you are still, you know, you might be here for the first time, uh, because of the
00:34:58.320
Jubilee debate that you watched a couple weeks ago.
00:35:02.900
And let me tell you, like, it is possible to try to be persuasive and to be winsome and to be
00:35:11.620
kind and to be respectful and still not concede and not compromise to stand your ground and to
00:35:20.000
Um, and, you know, you've heard a lot of people for a long time, especially the David
00:35:24.260
Frenches and the Russell Moores of the world, tell you that in order to evangelize and in order
00:35:30.920
to win people over, you can't be a conservative.
00:35:36.720
You certainly can't be, like, a voting Republican.
00:35:39.740
Um, and you're going to have to quietly compromise on some issues to win people over from the world.
00:35:44.540
Well, Charlie Kirk proved that that wasn't true, but I hope that if you get something
00:35:49.160
from the Jubilee debate, it's that you can have compassion without compromise and you
00:35:54.560
can connect without conceding and that you don't actually have to betray your values when
00:36:00.820
it comes to culture and politics to evangelize to a dying world.
00:36:04.680
You can hold both of those things at the same time, as long as you know how to defend your
00:36:10.880
Let me take a quick pause and tell you about our next sponsor, and that is Fellowship Home
00:36:16.120
You might have heard that there's a standoff right now between the Trump camp and the Federal
00:36:20.840
Trump is pushing hard to bring interest rates down, get the economy moving.
00:36:24.320
But Jerome Powell is standing firm for now because inflation is still hanging around.
00:36:29.300
But what you need to know is that rates could drop at any moment.
00:36:33.500
When they do, the prepared people will move fast.
00:36:36.120
That is why right now is the time to talk to my friends at Fellowship Home Loans.
00:36:41.060
Mike and Brian and their team will help you run the numbers to look at the full picture
00:36:46.620
What is it going to take to get into the home that your family needs right now?
00:36:50.780
Because even if rates aren't ideal today, if the right home is in front of you, you don't
00:36:55.740
There's a saying, marry the home, date the rate.

They do business, not just by the book, but by the book, by the Bible.

00:37:32.700
Speaking of defending our beliefs, we need to go to the other side of the world, to Nigeria,
00:37:39.000
where there's a very different kind of persecution that is going on there to the Christians, for
00:37:45.640
And as happens in many countries, but especially in Africa, the radical Islamists target Christians
00:37:59.340
And they slaughter men, women, and children, enslave them, try to get them to convert at gunpoint.
00:38:06.560
And so while the craziness and the chaos is going on over here, let us not forget that
00:38:12.880
we have Christians around the world, in Nigeria and elsewhere, actually being slaughtered for
00:38:18.940
So Nigeria is one of the most dangerous countries for Christians.
00:38:29.820
But videos, articles, statistics about attacks on Christians have gone viral, prompting global
00:38:35.480
And here we have a Nigerian pastor calling on President Trump for help, Saadet.
00:38:45.840
Now, please tell Trump to save our life in Nigeria.
00:38:53.900
He has been building to settle peace between Israel and also Hamas.
00:39:01.280
Now, his attention, I'm calling your attention to Nigeria.
00:39:11.720
If they say they kill Muslims, these Muslims are being killed.
00:39:18.060
Well, I mean, you could just tell how devastating he is.
00:39:23.480
And if you're just listening to this, he is conducting a mass burial for 13 victims.
00:39:29.300
They were killed overnight on Tuesday, October 14th.
00:39:33.000
And he's also, like, urging his neighbors to arm themselves, to defend themselves.
00:39:37.720
And, of course, it is President Trump's top priority to put the safety and security and well-being of Americans first because he is the leader of America.
00:39:48.180
And that is every government's righteous responsibility to put the well-being of their people first.
00:39:54.780
And I think that we can and should be America first and also as Christians have a vested interest in the persecuted body of Christ.
00:40:04.940
And if there is a way for us to help and if there is a way for us to stop this injustice while also prioritizing the needs and safety and well-being of Americans,
00:40:16.560
then, of course, I think that we as Christians should advocate that our government does do something because my heart breaks for these children and for, gosh, these people who have been terrorized for so long.
00:40:35.520
Over 7,000 Christians were killed in Nigeria in the first seven months of 2025, according to InterSociety.
00:40:41.900
Between 2009 and 2023, at least 52,000 Christians killed, 18,500 abducted, most of them probably dead.
00:40:50.140
Over 20,000 churches and Christian schools attacked.
00:40:53.600
From October 2022 to September 2023, 82% of Christians killed globally died in Nigeria.
00:41:03.640
According to Open Doors, a U.S. group tracking persecution, Christians are 6.5 times more likely to be killed
00:41:11.040
and 5.1 times more likely to be abducted than Muslims in northern Nigeria.
00:41:16.440
Of course, if you need to know just the innate, ideological, violent problems with Islam,
00:41:24.840
you need to go back and you need to watch or listen to Friday's episode, okay?
00:41:28.220
This is not just like, oh, yeah, wow, this is just an aberration.
00:41:33.620
While this doesn't happen everywhere, there's actually an ideological reason why it happens in some places and not others.
00:41:39.760
And it's not because it's possible to have, like, a modern form of Islam.
00:41:59.880
They target Christians because there are higher ransoms that they can put on the head of a Christian,
00:42:08.600
and they know that these Christian organizations will work to try to free these victims.
00:42:22.980
Survivors report brutal treatment by Boko Haram and ISIS West Africa,
00:42:28.140
including torture and pressure to convert to Islam.
00:42:30.940
Radical Islamist violence is spreading beyond Nigeria to countries like Sudan, the Congo, Mozambique.
00:42:38.940
Nigeria's population of 242 million is split between Muslims and Christians.
00:42:45.400
And so that just tells you so much about the difference between Islam and Christianity.
00:42:52.340
It's not that they're this tiny population, but then you have an ideology that is motivated
00:42:59.340
by violence and power and motivated by invasion and motivated by forced conversion.
00:43:05.260
And then you have an ideology that is motivated by love and peace and evangelism and making the
00:43:14.440
And obviously, right now, those are the people being targeted, and that's how it always is.
00:43:20.140
Even the Crusades, the history that we hear now about the Crusades, that Christians were
00:43:24.760
just randomly attacking Muslims and did all these terrible things, that's not even true.
00:43:29.360
That was even defense and pushing back against darkness.
00:43:32.440
And so it just shows you the dichotomy, the good versus evil going on here, and the fact
00:43:38.060
that we've reached this morally relativistic place that tells us that Islam is this religion
00:43:43.560
of peace and that we should just invite them into the West to basically colonize American cities.
00:43:52.380
And it is so unloving to our neighbors to believe that and to allow that.
00:43:57.620
It's evil immigration policy that has allowed that over the past 20 years.
00:44:01.360
I saw a horrible video of a woman who she was telling the story and her two children were
00:44:09.080
slaughtered in front of her, three years old, 10 months old, and her husband.
00:44:13.320
She was kidnapped along with another family member, but she was punished by her hand being
00:44:19.460
And you could see like in the video that she just had like a nub of an arm because these
00:44:31.480
There was a White House meeting in 2018 between Trump and the Nigerian president, and Trump
00:44:42.420
He said, we have had a very serious problem with Christians who are being murdered in Nigeria.
00:44:46.380
We are going to be working on that problem very, very hard because we can't allow that
00:44:50.820
And obviously, I think that's a very good thing.
00:44:53.460
Senator Ted Cruz called this out just a couple weeks ago.
00:44:57.920
He said, officials in Nigeria are ignoring and even facilitating the mass murder of Christians
00:45:04.820
It's time to hold those responsible accountable.
00:45:07.000
My Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act would target these officials with powerful
00:45:14.560
And so if we've learned anything in this episode, it's that evil actually exists.
00:45:26.060
There is real objective morality out there, and ideas have consequences.
00:45:33.300
It's led to really bad foreign policy, domestic policy, and immigration policy.
00:45:38.040
If you want to know more about the consequences of quote-unquote compassionate progressive immigration
00:45:44.060
policy, I really do encourage you to read my book.
00:45:51.300
And at the very least, read the immigration chapter of my book.
00:45:55.900
It was one of the most gut-wrenching ones for me to write, and I think actually one of the
00:46:00.820
most persuasive chapters because I became so passionate about it as I was researching and
00:46:08.560
I learned a lot while writing it, so I know you will, too, by reading it.
00:46:14.220
These people who are advocating for open borders and to stop deportations, you do not love your
00:46:20.960
You are actually putting them in harm's way because the consequences of bad immigration
00:46:27.480
Um, and unfortunately, we also see the consequence of the dereliction of duty of governments.
00:46:35.040
When Nigeria doesn't put its people first and doesn't enact peace through strength, this
00:46:43.700
So let us remember our persecuted brothers and sisters.
00:46:47.420
That is something that we are commanded to do, that as Christians, first and foremost,
00:46:54.440
First and foremost, our allegiance is to the body of Christ.
00:46:58.100
And we have more in common eternally with our brothers and sisters in Christ in Nigeria than
00:47:05.640
we have with our atheist neighbor who shares our political leanings, who shares our American
00:47:10.740
culture, who looks like us, who sounds like us.
00:47:13.720
We have more eternally and profoundly in common with Christians across the world who are being
00:47:27.220
We're going to be talking to people who have firsthand knowledge of what's going on there.
00:47:31.460
And we'll talk more about what we can do to help.
00:47:36.840
And remember that the prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.
00:47:41.380

00:48:48.600
This is a paid endorsement, and I am not a client of the firm.
00:48:56.400
Well, speaking of objective evil, I have to talk about this.
00:48:59.720
You've probably heard about this, but the story about this attorney general candidate in the
00:49:10.100
Democrats are facing criticism right now because they are not demanding that this guy pull out
00:49:15.940
of the race because of texts that were revealed from 2022 in which he fantasized about killing
00:49:27.320
He wrote a text, this guy named Jay Jones, in 2022 about putting two bullets into the head
00:49:34.240
of then-Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert and also mentioned murdering Gilbert's children.
00:49:41.060
So he said this, and we'll put up the screenshots of the text, three people, two bullets, Gilbert,
00:49:48.040
Gilbert gets two bullets to the head and later added that Gilbert would receive both bullets
00:49:55.980
And this other person seems to be concerned about this.
00:50:00.260
You were talking about hoping Jennifer Gilbert's children would die.
00:50:06.000
So Jennifer Gilbert, I guess, is the wife of Todd Gilbert.
00:50:09.960
And then she said this person who Jay Jones is texting with really just gets him to say,
00:50:17.580
like, did you really mean that, that you wanted these people to die?
00:50:20.780
And he says, I mean, do I think Todd and Jennifer are evil and that they're breeding little fascists?
00:50:28.240
So again, these are not just like random people that I'm cherry picking here.
00:50:33.000
This is someone who is running for a very high office, the law enforcement office in the state
00:50:40.220
of Virginia, who says that he is out to protect your children.
00:50:43.320
He believes that the children of people who disagree with him will or should die and should
00:50:50.180
be murdered and should die bleeding in the arms of their parents.
00:50:55.140
Virginia, I know you went blue for the election, which was very sad.
00:51:01.740
And I know that you've been a swing state for a long time, but can you do better than this?
00:51:09.380
And then Republicans have been put on the spot about these texts between young Republicans,
00:51:14.700
I think in the state of New York, but it was leaked by Politico reported on.
00:51:21.260
And all of these Republican politicians and Republican commentators are being put on the spot
00:51:26.260
to condemn these kids as if that is equivalent.
00:51:30.600
Like, these were kids talking about stupid stuff.
00:51:35.180
Some of the things were completely decontextualized and sarcastic.
00:51:40.260
It's not the same at all, even if they weren't.
00:51:43.060
You can say, obviously, yeah, they shouldn't be saying stuff like that.
00:51:53.400
We are talking about a Democrat politician who is wanting people to die,
00:52:01.400
Like, it's not even a comparison, the two things.
00:52:05.800
And the fact that Republicans are speaking up and condemning the leaked private messages
00:52:11.940
of a bunch of young Republicans, but you cannot get a Democrat to say that this guy should pull
00:52:22.480
Ms. Member, I understand what you're saying about the voters, but for you yourself,
00:52:33.080
I believe my opponent has said that about her lieutenant governor nominee.
00:52:37.000
And it asks every person to make their own decision.
00:52:40.840
I am running my race to serve Virginia, and that is what I intend to do.
00:52:48.520
We just want to clarify, you know, what you're saying is that as of now, you still endorse
00:52:56.520
I'm saying as of now, it's up to every voter to make their own individual decision.
00:53:01.800
I am accountable for the words that I say, for the acts that I take, for the policies that
00:53:14.420
Also, I just want to like, I just want to say this to women.
00:53:17.620
I know that when you're in a role of like running for a political office, you want to
00:53:23.320
Never stand with your feet wider than your hips.
00:53:27.200
It looks like you're trying to project strength, but actually you came across as very weak because
00:53:31.300
of the words that you said there and you look silly.
00:53:33.920
And by the way, like, I think that Winsome Sears is amazing and I really hope that she
00:53:44.460
Even if you don't like Republicans, surely you can do better than that.
00:53:48.700
But again, I just want you to know that within progressive ideology is violence.
00:53:55.440
Okay, it is at the heart of progressive ideology.
00:54:01.820
I'm not saying that you as a progressive out there, that you are necessarily violent
00:54:06.480
or that your friends are violent, but just look throughout human history.
00:54:10.620
Look at the 20th century, every left wing movement in particular, every collectivist
00:54:16.400
totalitarian movement, whether it's fascist or whether it's communist or whether it's
00:54:23.100
But if you look at the deadliest movements of the 20th century, socialism, communism in
00:54:29.700
China, Vietnam, North Korea, I mean, everywhere that left wing collectivism was established,
00:54:41.300
millions and millions of people were slaughtered.
00:54:50.940
So you can just leave, like you can just evaluate your worldview and decide, yeah, this is not
00:55:12.540
And one party happens to celebrate evil more than the other.
00:55:24.780
We've talked about this before and how I think he goes in the wrong direction when it comes
00:55:32.600
But let me tell you about our last sponsor first.
00:55:39.100
I'm so thankful that they resource pro-life pregnancy centers across the country to make
00:55:44.880
sure that women can get the sonograms that they need in order to see the life of their
00:55:53.260
And they can see that that is not just a clump of cells, but that is a person made in the
00:55:59.020
And they are so much more likely to choose life.
00:56:03.700
You know, the abortion lobby and Planned Parenthood, they're lying to these women and they're telling
00:56:10.660
They use all kinds of euphemisms to try to mask what is really going on.
00:56:14.820
And that is the intentional killing of a child, their child.
00:56:17.980
So if you want women to know the truth, if you want them to be more likely to choose life,
00:56:21.840
if you want them to get the resources they need to be able to survive and thrive, then
00:56:30.240
You can donate the cost of an ultrasound, which is $28.
00:56:49.200
This is according to the White House and the Associated Press.
00:56:53.020
President Donald Trump announced initiatives to expand access to in vitro fertilization
00:56:58.640
Each cycle of IVF can cost $12,000 to $25,000 and often multiple cycles are required to achieve
00:57:05.640
Trump said, we want to make it easier for all couples to have babies.
00:57:08.860
In the Trump administration, we want to make it easier for all couples to have babies, raise
00:57:15.840
children and start the families they've always dreamed about.
00:57:19.880
That's why today I'm pleased to announce that after extensive negotiations,
00:57:24.720
EMD Serrano, the largest fertility drug manufacturer in the world, has agreed to provide massive discounts to all
00:57:31.800
fertility drugs they sell in the United States, including the most popular drug of all, the IVF drug,
00:57:44.920
I was just laughing at how he how he says things.
00:57:49.220
Mehmet Oz, he is the head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
00:57:53.880
He said there's going to be a lot of Trump babies.
00:57:56.560
You do see Republican from Alabama, Katie Britt, sitting there behind him.
00:58:01.800
And she has sponsored legislation in the past that is very pro-IVF.
00:58:07.700
And Trump says that, you know, he's unaware of conservative religious objections to IVF,
00:58:16.360
And I'll just say it doesn't surprise me at all that Trump has this position.
00:58:19.140
IVF is extremely popular, even among Republicans.
00:58:22.080
And he represents the position that a lot of people have.
00:58:25.200
I assume probably Senator Katie Britt has as well, that we should be wanting more babies.
00:58:29.440
Obviously, we're facing a fertility crisis, and everyone who wants to have a baby should
00:58:33.500
be able to have a baby, and they shouldn't be inhibited by the cost of IVF.
00:58:43.780
We want more babies that are conceived in loving marriages between a man and a woman.
00:58:50.440
Being pro-life doesn't mean that we are pro every form of conception.
00:58:55.080
Obviously, we can agree, right, that not every form of conception is moral and
00:58:59.260
ethical, even though the baby itself is a blessing.
00:59:02.300
Like, we understand that conception via rape is not moral.
00:59:06.320
Like, we understand that that kind of conception or that the act of rape is not ethical.
00:59:17.680
Even if that results in the baby, we would not support that kind of conception.
00:59:22.400
Now, people say, oh, are you comparing IVF and rape?
00:59:31.520
I am saying that we can agree that we should not support every act that may lead to conception.
00:59:38.240
As Christians, obviously, we don't believe in premarital sex.
00:59:41.980
We believe that that baby is a blessing should he or she be produced in that union.
00:59:46.960
But we are still against that act that may lead to conception.
00:59:51.820
So it's not, we want more babies at whatever the cost.
00:59:59.340
And not just because we're prudes, but because we care about the well-being of children.
01:00:07.080
In fact, most babies, most embryos that are made via IVF, the vast majority of those embryos
01:00:13.240
will never be transferred and will never make it to a live birth.
01:00:17.940
In fact, the IVF industry kills more babies every year than the abortion industry does.
01:00:23.240
Because if we really believe in our pro-life ethics, that a life is a life, no matter how
01:00:29.060
small, that human life starts at conception, then how we treat those embryos that are created
01:00:35.220
in a lab, that are frozen indefinitely, that are very often eugenically discarded because
01:00:41.440
they're the wrong gender, or they have Down syndrome, or they have some other kind of
01:00:46.060
disability, or they were just that unlucky extra guy that was created and their parents
01:00:56.460
It's not only about not killing a baby inside the womb.
01:01:00.960
It's about not discarding and mistreating life that has been created.
01:01:06.700
Those embryos are people made in the image of God.
01:01:10.020
They are in a stage of life that all of us have been in, that every single human that exists
01:01:15.700
And just because they are in a lab doesn't make them less alive and doesn't make them
01:01:22.300
And so no, we are not pro-baby, whatever the cost.
01:01:26.400
Remember, when technology takes us from what is natural to what is possible, we have to
01:01:34.780
And especially as Christians, is that biblical?
01:01:38.760
The moral cost, the ethical cost, the human cost to IVF outweighs the benefits.
01:01:46.580
All people made through IVF are made in God's image and are just as valuable and worthy as
01:01:53.440
Parents who have children via IVF love their children.
01:02:01.060
And yet we have to hold these two thoughts at the same time in our minds.
01:02:05.480
And we started talking about IVF on this show far before it was a topic of conversation
01:02:11.000
We started talking about it probably in 2019, I believe was our first episode on it.
01:02:20.980
And I thank God that more and more people on the right talk about it now and what a problem
01:02:26.200
ethically it is and how it's bad for women too, by the way, terrible for women's health.
01:02:32.320
And I think it is our job to try to move Trump on this and move Republicans on this, that this
01:02:38.720
has to be a big deal for us if we're going to put children first, not just in the pro-life
01:02:42.720
conversation, but also in the reproductive technology conversation.
01:02:45.220
You can listen to my episodes with Katie Faust, also Jennifer Lawl.
01:02:52.180
And if I haven't convinced you in this short segment, hopefully one of the episodes over
01:02:56.720
the years that I've done on this can, because we've talked about this very thoroughly.
01:03:06.780
And the Christian position on these things is unpopular, not just on the left, but sometimes
01:03:13.660
But these little lives and honoring God's design, like these things are, they're worth it.
01:03:36.780
Rinse takes your laundry and hand delivers it to your door, expertly cleaned and folded.
01:04:02.320
So you could take the time once spent folding and sorting and waiting to finally pursue
01:04:06.920
a whole new version of you, like tea time you, or this tea time you, or even this tea time
