Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 1294 ｜ Anti-ICE Influencers Explained： How Women Get Radicalized

00:00:00.000 Y'all, I am so worked up today because I'm having deja vu to 2020. Like, are we really doing this

00:00:07.420 again? Okay. There is a reason why your friends, why so many women in my DMs have yet again fallen

00:00:15.800 for the very same psychological and political traps that were laid for us in 2020. And in some

00:00:23.400 ways were laid for us all the way back in the Garden of Eden. And man, I am analyzing all of

00:00:30.240 that for you today. I think it's going to bring you a lot of clarity on these subjects. This

00:00:34.400 episode is brought to you by our friends at Good Ranchers. Go to goodranchers.com. Use code

00:00:52.600 Monday. Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. You know what I'm going to say? Maybe this is

00:00:58.140 your first time listening to Relatable so you don't know. But if you know, you know, God's

00:01:02.500 eternal plan of redemption is going off without a hitch. It doesn't always make headlines. It

00:01:07.520 doesn't always go viral. And yet he is always working. He is always finding the lost sheep.

00:01:14.000 He is always accomplishing his will. And one day he is coming back and he will rule in perfect

00:01:19.080 peace and every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. That

00:01:24.800 is really, really good news. And yet that future hope does not mean that what is happening right

00:01:31.280 now does not matter. He has placed us on this tiny speck of eternity, on this small plot of

00:01:37.860 the earth, because he does everything with purpose. He does everything with intention. Nothing

00:01:43.360 is an accident. Nothing is without thought or care. He does everything in perfect accordance

00:01:51.980 with his will. And our job is to make this small plot of the earth, this small speck of

00:01:57.900 eternity better for his glory and the good of those around us. And that can look like a lot

00:02:03.680 of different things. It doesn't necessarily mean having a podcast or giving a speech or having

00:02:08.360 any kind of public platform. It can mean changing a diaper. It can mean washing dishes. It can mean

00:02:15.080 running errands. All of these things can be done with excellence and for the glory of God. That's

00:02:21.280 something that we say on the show a lot. Do the next right thing in faith with excellence and for

00:02:25.100 the glory of God. No moment, no matter how mundane in the life of the believer is wasted, all of it is

00:02:32.360 creating an eternal glory that echoes in eternity. And so let's do what we can to make each moment

00:02:39.480 count and to make sure that we are fulfilling whatever the calling is that God has in our life

00:02:44.940 at this season. As I'm starting this episode, as I'm starting this day, I just want to be honest with

00:02:51.560 you. I've got a bit of a frustration going here because I feel a lot of deja vu in 2026. It feels a lot

00:03:00.140 like the summer of 2020. And what I'm realizing is that not everyone in my audience, and certainly

00:03:06.160 not everyone in your lives, have been really paying attention to politics and news for five years. It's

00:03:11.840 hard to believe that it's been five years. It feels like all of that just happened yesterday. That was

00:03:16.320 a very tenuous moment. We had COVID. We were still trying to figure out what was going on. May of 2020,

00:03:22.620 when George Floyd died, while Derek Chauvin was kneeling on his back, we were just kind of waking up to

00:03:29.940 the fact that two weeks to slow the spread wasn't really going to happen. People were starting to

00:03:36.200 get very feverish about things like masks. We were getting a lot of propaganda. It was almost like

00:03:42.020 Trump's enemies realized that they could harness this as a tool to try to help him lose the election.

00:03:48.900 And then George Floyd happens, the riots happen, the protests. And of course, you remember that right

00:03:54.940 away, the reaction by most people, especially in the evangelical world, was to condemn racism,

00:04:03.060 to condemn police brutality, to condemn white supremacy, to almost apologize to their Black

00:04:09.220 friends, to post the Black Square, maybe put their Christian spin on it, but to at least acknowledge the

00:04:16.860 narrative that George Floyd and other people who are detained by the police or who are killed by the

00:04:23.100 police who look like George Floyd are treated in that way because not only the cop is racist, but

00:04:31.000 because our system is racist, because our institutions are racist. And that is why it is justified to be

00:04:38.700 outraged about George Floyd dying, but to be completely silent about someone like Justine Damon or Tony

00:04:46.380 Tempa, who also died at the hands of the police, but they didn't have the right skin color. And so they

00:04:51.940 didn't point to the systemic white supremacy, the institutional racism that has plagued our country

00:04:57.820 since its very beginning. We had the 1619 Project, and I was so disappointed and so frustrated and a

00:05:03.780 little bit scared as seemingly someone on an island is a white evangelical woman who, when I looked at my

00:05:12.120 feed filled with Black Square, said, well, I don't think I'm going to do that because I don't have any clue

00:05:18.500 that racism had anything to do with this. I'm not seeing any indication from the situation that Black

00:05:25.080 lives don't matter in this country. And so I'm not going to repeat the mantras and I'm not trying to

00:05:30.560 say, gosh, I was just so wise. I was not the only one. I had been doing this for an amount of time and

00:05:37.640 I had seen the media lie, especially when it came to racial narratives. I remembered Michael Brown and I

00:05:43.540 was like, this is all too familiar. They lied about hands up, don't shoot back in 2014, 2015.

00:05:50.500 The DOJ admitted to that. The Washington Post admitted to that. Why should this be any different?

00:05:56.760 And I started to push back very gently back then, but push back against those popular narratives.

00:06:01.500 It was very, very unpopular to do that. I was absolutely lambasted by fellow Christians. A lot of

00:06:09.540 you know their names, very popular Christians and influencers and Bible study leaders who probably

00:06:14.860 would have called themselves evangelical or conservative evangelicals who said that I was

00:06:21.120 being racist, that I was being mean-spirited, that I of course didn't have enough empathy. And mind you,

00:06:27.660 I was not even as direct as I am now about that. I was simply saying, we don't know that racism is a

00:06:34.760 part of this. And there are people of other skin colors who have also had unfortunate interactions

00:06:40.080 with the police. And I don't think we're getting the facts here. And oh, by the way, I don't think

00:06:44.620 burning down a jiffy lube is going to help things. And I'm not sure about stealing a plasma screen TV.

00:06:50.980 I don't know if that counts as justice. Like I just didn't get along with this, like riots are the

00:06:56.840 voice of the unheard. What do you, what do you mean they're unheard? Like that, that doesn't even make

00:07:03.080 sense. That's just not true. That's not politically true. I mean, black Americans have a large segment

00:07:09.700 of the vote. They almost always vote Democrat. Barack Obama won his election two years in a row.

00:07:16.540 It's not true that these voices are politically unheard, but that was used by Christians to justify

00:07:22.880 violence and to check themselves and to check their privilege and to commit to being an anti-racist,

00:07:29.860 which is Ibram X. Kendi said means discriminating against white people today. And I had read too

00:07:35.180 much Thomas Sowell and too much Walter Williams at that point in my life to buy into that. But I'm

00:07:40.700 telling you for real, it was really hard. It would have been so much easier at the time to shut up

00:07:48.180 about that and to just not say anything, to just post the black square. Honestly, we've all forgiven the

00:07:53.440 people who posted the black square out of ignorance that I really have. And it would have been fine.

00:07:58.080 I probably wouldn't have lost any followers if I hadn't said anything. And I would have been able

00:08:02.260 to keep those very important connections within the evangelical world and maybe invited more to

00:08:08.100 their conferences if I had just kind of stayed out of that. But it puts a bug in my craw when people

00:08:16.660 suspend their judgment, when people suspend their discernment, that I see them exercise in other areas,

00:08:23.580 their intellect that I see them use to defend the Bible or to tell the truth in other areas.

00:08:28.800 But when it comes to these very emotional, so-called social justice issues like race or like social

00:08:34.300 justice, they no longer think. Because, and here's the reason why. One, it's because a lot of people

00:08:40.280 have really big hearts and I think that's good. Like it's good to have big hearts. It's good to be

00:08:44.880 compassionate. You don't want to get hard-hearted and you don't want to get calloused. Like

00:08:48.280 I am totally with you on that. All people, no matter their background, no matter their nationality

00:08:53.060 or citizenship status, or maybe in the image of God, we care about who they are. We care about

00:08:57.620 their hearts and souls and how they're treated and all of that. That's absolutely true. So that's one

00:09:02.740 part of it. But let's just be honest about the other part of it is that, and I'll get to how all of

00:09:08.860 this relates in 2026. You're probably already seeing it. This is all just like coming to my mind

00:09:13.300 as I'm, it's stream of consciousness. That it is inconvenient to think when it comes to those

00:09:20.780 issues. Okay. It's inconvenient to think because if you let your mind start asking questions like,

00:09:27.960 oh, what if this is not really true? Like what if America isn't really systemically racist?

00:09:32.200 Like what if George Floyd wasn't actually murdered by Derek Chauvin? What if Derek Chauvin wasn't actually

00:09:36.260 a racist? Like what if like all of this is a big lie and all of these corporations and all of these

00:09:42.800 politicians and all of these pastors that I trust and all of these friends that I love, they're buying

00:09:47.360 into lies and they're very tied to it. And they're actually saying that they're going to basically

00:09:52.440 excommunicate anyone who doesn't agree with them. Well, if I start thinking, then I might realize that

00:09:59.400 they're all believing a lie. And if I realize they're believing a lie, well, then I'm going to feel

00:10:03.540 some kind of obligation and burden to tell them the truth. And if I tell them the truth, they're going

00:10:08.100 to be mad at me. And then that puts me outside of social circles that cuts off my friendships.

00:10:13.180 That makes it really hard with my family. Most people, and I would say women, especially who

00:10:18.720 are naturally compassionate and naturally relational are not willing to do that because

00:10:23.440 it's very uncomfortable. And naturally, like we don't like discomfort myself included, but I don't

00:10:30.260 know if it's just my personality, if it's how God made me. I know he made many of you like this and

00:10:35.560 many of the guests that sit on my show in a variety of ways. It just bothers me. Like it

00:10:41.440 bothers me when smart people allow their feelings to take over. And so that's why I started talking

00:10:47.460 about the statistics, the numbers, the arguments, the history, when it came to these claims of

00:10:52.100 systemic racism and systemic racism within the police system and these disparate views of justice

00:10:57.420 and what biblical justice looks like versus what social justice looks like. And I was just one of many

00:11:02.480 voices speaking up against this at the time. And we finally felt like in the past couple of years,

00:11:07.980 we got them. Like we got those people back, those people who were just lost to the propaganda of BLM

00:11:14.080 and lost their minds during that time, like basically advocating for reparations and stuff.

00:11:22.100 Okay. They seem to be walking it back. They're not as woke as they were back then. They're not sharing

00:11:27.560 the ridiculous views. They're kind of at least quieting down on politics, which is honestly

00:11:31.520 preferable. Like it's preferable if you just don't talk about it, if you don't really know the other

00:11:36.000 side of the story and you're not willing to research and all of that. Instead of, you know,

00:11:39.900 just speaking up when Trump does something wrong or when it's popular to do so, when the media tells you

00:11:45.560 to do so, like I would rather you just not say anything at all. And now we have these immigration

00:11:52.600 stories. Now we have the Renee Goode story and I am seeing the same thing over and over again.

00:12:01.040 We see a story about an old man who is being let out in his underwear and people are saying,

00:12:07.340 see, ice is cruel. And I just want to say, you don't even know the context. You don't know who he is.

00:12:12.900 He could have been an illegal alien from Guatemala and a sex predator. You have no idea. And you're out

00:12:17.780 they're defending this guy because someone put emotional music behind an Instagram video. You

00:12:22.480 have no idea. And by the way, there seems to be multiple angles of this story. And like that's

00:12:30.000 enough for us to say, hang on, we don't really know what's going on. Maybe I shouldn't share that.

00:12:34.280 Maybe that shouldn't change my political alignment because I don't know the other side of the story.

00:12:38.540 The government says, which you shouldn't unconditionally believe the government,

00:12:41.180 the DHS says that that guy was harboring a sex predator and illegal aliens. And because he was

00:12:47.880 in the home and refused to give his identification, they had to detain him temporarily, even though he

00:12:52.420 is a citizen, and then release him. So that's one side of the story. At the very least, even if you

00:12:57.460 don't want to buy that, you can say, OK, there are two competing narratives here. Maybe I shouldn't

00:13:02.580 just unconditionally believe one. The same thing with this child. Like we see the story going around of this

00:13:09.600 five-year-old who I saw someone post that this child was used as bait to try to get his parents

00:13:16.000 to come out so that ICE could detain them. That's the one side of the story. No sources cited, by the

00:13:21.740 way. Just that's what they claimed. Well, the government, again, take it as you will, says, no,

00:13:29.120 that's not what happened. He was in the car with his parents. We were trying to detain his parents

00:13:34.280 and his parents fled on foot and abandoned the child. OK, that tells me there are at least two

00:13:41.060 competing narratives when it comes to this. Why would I just buy in to what the media says?

00:13:48.220 Shouldn't buy into what the government says necessarily, but it should make us think.

00:13:52.060 It should make us ask questions. It should make us pause and say, huh, is this familiar?

00:13:57.160 Because headline after headline in 2020 was sympathetic to those rioters while they were telling all of us not

00:14:03.100 to go to church, by the way. They were supporting these mobs of people out there burning down gas

00:14:10.200 stations. That was OK. But we couldn't go to church because it might spread COVID. Like these are the

00:14:15.640 same people. These are the same journalists. This is the same media. And this is the same thing.

00:14:21.320 Like think about for a second. Think about for a second. Obama deported over three million people.

00:14:27.220 OK, he holds the record right now. Maybe Trump will surpass him this term. We'll see.

00:14:31.240 But he holds the record. Over three million people Obama deported. That's more than any

00:14:36.160 other president in history. Do you think that under his direction, ICE was just sweet?

00:14:43.200 Do you think that they didn't enter into churches and didn't enter into people's homes? Do you think

00:14:48.540 it was all just like gentle and and kind and just and that's why you didn't see any protests?

00:14:54.100 No, the reason you didn't see the social media posts, the reason you didn't see the headlines,

00:14:58.040 the reason you didn't see the protests and riots is not because it was happening differently.

00:15:01.880 It's because it was Obama and now it's Trump. That's the difference. So just know that that you

00:15:08.300 are being agitated by people who just don't like Trump. It's not that they care about migrants.

00:15:13.900 They care about immigration. They care about justice. Maybe partly they do. They're only saying

00:15:18.180 it now because it's Trump. They didn't even say it under Obama. Obama or Biden. Biden deported

00:15:25.220 hundreds of thousands, if not a million illegal aliens. He also had ICE operating under him.

00:15:32.400 You didn't see any of this then. This stuff was happening then. It's because of Trump.

00:15:37.060 OK, and so like it just really bothers me how people just don't stop and ask questions.

00:15:45.140 But is this true? I see smart people on my side of issues who think very critically when it comes to

00:15:52.180 the media reporting on things like abortion or something else. And they'll say, well, that's

00:15:56.640 probably not true because of this. And they'll dig into it. But then we'll just share headlines

00:16:00.340 by the same media outlets without thinking. But are they telling the truth on this?

00:16:06.500 So that's all I want. I don't want you to listen to me unconditionally. I don't want you to listen to

00:16:10.180 the media or the government or any one person unconditionally. OK, I want you to when I tell you

00:16:15.940 something, I want you to ask the same question that you would ask if you were reading The Washington

00:16:20.100 Post or watching CNN or listening to Trump talk. And that is, is that true? Is that true?

00:16:27.160 Is there more context to the story that I don't know? Is there an alternative explanation?

00:16:34.440 Am I being given all of the facts here? I want you to ask those questions to yourself when you

00:16:40.080 are listening to me or to anyone else, because there are a lot of people out there who want you

00:16:45.060 to be dumb. Know that, women. There's a lot of people out there who want you to be stupid.

00:16:48.880 Because that behooves them. It's in their interest for women to be as stupid as possible.

00:16:56.800 I don't want that. OK, even if you disagree with me, even if you are a liberal,

00:17:01.580 know that the liberals who are talking to you want you to be stupid and they want you to feel your

00:17:05.240 way through politics. I want you to be smart and think your way through politics, even if you end

00:17:09.560 up at a different conclusion than me. Even if you never listen to my podcast again,

00:17:14.340 I want you by the end of my podcast to feel like you are smarter and you at least have a direction

00:17:18.320 to go in to study more and to be a thoughtful person. OK, that's that's how I want you to

00:17:25.100 navigate this. I want you to think because, women, you are not just feelers. OK, you are

00:17:30.420 not led by your emotion. You are not stupid. You have been given a brain that is capable of

00:17:35.800 critical thinking, capable of studying, capable of asking questions and being rational and

00:17:41.040 reasonable. Do not prove the stupid manosphere people right by being an idiot. Think, be

00:17:49.600 compassionate, but don't allow that to suspend your discernment. OK, so that's my little extemporaneous

00:17:55.940 monologue, because we're going to go into the actual thing that I want to talk about, which

00:18:00.860 is why women have veered to the left. This is the bug in my craw. This is part of why I do

00:18:07.160 what I do is because this irks me so much. I want better for our world and I want better

00:18:13.720 for women, especially Christian women. And there is this article that went viral about

00:18:18.760 why women have gone left, not just in America, but everywhere that I thought was just so insightful.

00:18:22.900 We'll get into that in just a second. Let me pause. Let me tell you about our first sponsor

00:18:26.240 for the day. And that is Alliance Defending Freedom. Y'all, I love Alliance Defending Freedom.

00:18:31.360 I was just with them in DC. I got to speak on a panel with a few awesome women when they were

00:18:36.920 celebrating going to the Supreme Court, defending Title IX, defending women's and girls' rights to

00:18:43.700 compete against other women and girls. It's crazy that we're having that conversation, but we can't

00:18:49.420 apparently even agree on what the definition of a woman is. But the truth is, girls are competing

00:18:54.700 against biology. They're not competing against an identity. And Alliance Defending Freedom knows that.

00:19:00.120 They're the ones taking up these cases, not just cases for fairness and rights of girls,

00:19:04.660 but also free speech cases, religious liberty cases, people who can't defend themselves and are

00:19:11.160 being attacked by progressive activists. Their constitutional liberties and rights are being

00:19:16.000 attacked. Alliance Defending Freedom takes up their cause. Kristen Wagner is the CEO. She's amazing.

00:19:20.760 She's been on the show a few times. They're the real deal. She is a strong Christian. She believes

00:19:25.460 not only in Jesus, but also believes in the Constitution. And they take that with them

00:19:29.720 all the way up to the Supreme Court. If you want to join them in fighting for our liberties,

00:19:56.100 So an article went viral by someone who goes by Vittorio on X, and it's titled Why Young Women

00:20:04.680 Moved Left While Young Men Stayed Sane. It's something that we've talked about a lot, but he

00:20:08.940 really digs into the data. So in this article, he highlights that Bill Ackman, he's kind of like a

00:20:14.300 red-pilled billionaire head fund manager. He, quote, tweeted a graphic illustrating the growing

00:20:19.160 partisan gap between men and women in the U.S. And he pointed out, or this graph highlights,

00:20:25.300 rather, that this has almost doubled. The gap, the political gap between men and women has almost

00:20:30.000 doubled from 12 points in 2000 to 23 points in 2023. So women have long leaned a little bit more

00:20:38.420 liberal, but that gap has widened so much. So Ackman, quote, tweeted this and asked a simple

00:20:44.120 question, why? Which is something that all of us have been exploring for a long time. But the answer

00:20:50.260 is not entirely simple. Like we could talk about social media, we could talk about all kinds of

00:20:56.080 things. But this account, Vittorio, he asserts that this narrative of men drifting to the far right

00:21:05.920 are false. And we can put up the full screens there, 43. And so this person named, I don't even

00:21:13.360 know who this is. But this person is pointing out on X that this idea that men are being radicalized,

00:21:20.700 that they're going way to the far right is not true based on the data. And we can pull up full screen

00:21:26.220 too. Yeah. And that shows that, look, if you see those lines, if you're watching on YouTube,

00:21:32.840 which I encourage you to do, because we got a lot of graphs, you can see that men aren't really

00:21:37.860 changing all that much when it comes to their politics. There's a little bit of change for sure,

00:21:43.520 but it's not, hasn't changed all that much. Whereas women, you see that going up, that arrow going up,

00:21:51.140 it has changed so much since 1990, since the early 2000s. And here's the troubling thing.

00:21:58.500 We're looking at this graph right now. This is a Gallup poll. We are looking at South Korea,

00:22:04.360 where that's occurred. We're looking at the US, where that's occurred big time. Yikes, yucky.

00:22:11.900 Germany, where that's occurred. And then the UK, oh, the UK is beating us in a very horrible way there.

00:22:19.560 And it's so strange because South Korea has very different problems than the US.

00:22:24.860 And the US has different problems than Germany. And like South Korea has all kinds of like issues

00:22:32.660 going on. They're actually like with, you know, male politics and all of that. And yet we are seeing

00:22:39.100 the same trends. So this guy, Vittorio, he claims that now, obviously, I don't believe in evolution

00:22:46.500 because it's not true. We were all created by a God in his image. God created Adam and Eve as adults

00:22:53.100 who were able to procreate and then populate the earth. But this guy is looking from an evolutionary

00:22:57.800 perspective. He claims that evolutionary factors set the stage for this leftward shift. So I'll read

00:23:04.120 you what he said, but then also just realize that how we interpret this is that God made women with a

00:23:11.080 particular propensity. So he says women evolved in environments where social exclusion carried

00:23:16.360 enormous survival costs. You can't hunt pregnant. You can't fight nursing. Survival required the tribe's

00:23:22.160 acceptance, their protection, their food sharing, their tolerance of your temporary vulnerability.

00:23:27.360 Millions of years of this, he says, which, of course, don't agree with that. And you get hardware

00:23:32.120 that treats social rejection as serious threat. Or we're just all social creatures. Of course,

00:23:39.540 we read in scripture that man cannot live by bread alone. Actually, we can see that in the person of

00:23:43.960 who God is, that he is Father, Son, Holy Spirit, eternally in communion with himself. And in the very

00:23:50.200 beginning, God says, it is not good for man to be alone. So he makes himself a helper fit for him,

00:23:55.620 or God makes him a helper fit for him. And that is Eve. So actually, we see from the very beginning how

00:24:02.040 God hardwired us, not evolution hardwired us, is for community. But I do agree that women especially

00:24:09.760 love that social cohesion. All of us do. And we want inclusion more than we want leadership,

00:24:16.720 for sure. So he goes on to argue, however, men face different pressures, hunting parties,

00:24:22.260 gone for days, exploration, combat. You had to tolerate being alone, disliked, outside the group

00:24:27.780 for extended periods. I'm sorry. I'm just like kind of like smirking because evolution just like

00:24:32.180 makes me laugh. Men who handle temporary exclusion without falling apart had more options, more risk

00:24:39.220 taking, more independence, more ability to leave bad situations. But again, God, I mean, we can look at

00:24:45.260 male biology and see that they were built more for war and for hunting and for that kind of thing.

00:24:50.460 And we can look at how their brains work and how testosterone works to kind of give us the answers

00:24:54.700 for why that is. And God made them that way. This person, however, proceeded to cite a study by David

00:24:59.960 Schmidt who found the same personality patterns across 55 different cultures. Women average higher

00:25:07.840 agreeableness, higher neuroticism, so that's sensitivity to negative stimuli, including social

00:25:13.660 rejection cues. And that's just true. Like, you know, as a woman yourself, you know, being around

00:25:18.560 women, you just know that that's true. Men average higher tolerance for disagreement and social

00:25:23.320 conflict. And these are averages. They're obviously anomalies. The differences aren't huge, but they're

00:25:28.900 consistent across every culture of study. So he is arguing that is why you actually see this as a

00:25:34.100 universal phenomenon that women are going in the same direction politically. Did we put up full screen

00:25:41.720 44? A 2011 study titled Gender Differences in Personality Across the Ten Aspects of the Big Five

00:25:51.640 found that women on average exhibited higher rates of the trait agreeableness than men. So that's not

00:25:57.480 just that one study. There are other studies saying this. The two factors determined to have a genetic

00:26:01.980 impact on agreeableness were compassion and politeness. Like, I know that I gave that whole rant in the

00:26:09.420 beginning. But this is like on a day-to-day basis, I really want to be agreeable. I'll just tell you a

00:26:16.480 story. I'll be a little bit vulnerable for a second. And maybe there are men who would do this too, of

00:26:21.420 course. But I was kind of beating myself up about it the other day. I was in New York and I had a makeup

00:26:27.680 artist that I don't use, sweet as pie. We had a great conversation. And she was, we were talking about

00:26:34.020 that we're the same age. And I said when my birthday was, and she was like, oh, you're an Aquarius and

00:26:39.980 started talking about that. And I just nodded my head and didn't really say anything because it was

00:26:47.580 awkward. And so I could, I should have been like, you know, I don't really agree with that. And that

00:26:53.120 could have been an opportunity to share the gospel. There have been times when I'm very grateful that

00:26:57.340 the Holy Spirit empowered me to do that. That was not one of those times. But like in those moments,

00:27:03.320 we've all had those moments where we just want to be agreeable. Like we feel compassion for this

00:27:07.420 person. We want to feel polite. We don't want to be at odds with them, especially when we're in

00:27:12.180 conversation. Well, you take that like one awkward scenario and you extrapolate that, or you make that

00:27:18.540 bigger in how you live your life and make even big political decisions. You can see how that leads

00:27:24.300 someone in the direction of following the cultural zeitgeist, which is progressivism. This study goes on to

00:27:31.140 say individuals with these traits were more likely to pursue cooperation and social harmony.

00:27:37.020 I would add at whatever cost. The researchers theorized that these traits were naturally

00:27:41.960 selected to yield better results in raising children. So there is good reason why we like

00:27:47.640 cooperation. These are not all bad things. These can help in being good moms. Women were found to have

00:27:53.220 a more independent self-construal than men, meaning their sense of self includes others. Men, on the

00:28:00.600 other hand, according to the study, were more likely to obtain a mate by exhibiting more aggressive

00:28:05.240 risk-taking behaviors. And you know, there's actually an interesting book that y'all should read on this,

00:28:11.700 Your Brain on Birth Control. She also talks about from an evolutionary perspective, but she talks about

00:28:17.700 how women who are on the birth control pill and therefore aren't ovulating are attracted to sissy

00:28:23.220 men. Yeah. Like they, yes, they're attracted to girly men in some cases. Sorry, related bros out there.

00:28:30.920 If your wife is on birth control, I'm sure it's not true about you, but in general, it changes your

00:28:35.940 hormones, changes who you're attracted to. And women who were not on birth control were more likely

00:28:40.980 to be attracted to like masculine men. Anyway, I just thought that was interesting. Our bodies are so

00:28:46.880 intricate how God made us and our hormones and our makeup and the things we are attracted to and the

00:28:51.560 things we do. According to the study, men were more likely to develop a sense of self separate from the

00:28:56.860 group. And so that is part of the psychology, I think, of what is going on here. And that is so like

00:29:03.400 Satan, by the way, to manipulate women and to use really good things about ourselves and to use them as

00:29:12.160 a hook for propaganda and to ask the age old question, did God really say? So I don't want you to hear this

00:29:20.280 psychologizing of women as saying these are all the negative aspects of us. It's just that all of these good

00:29:25.960 things about us make us more susceptible to lies. We've got more on this in a second. Let me pause, tell you

00:29:30.840 about our next sponsor for the day, and that is Legacy Box. I absolutely love this company and this concept.

00:29:37.800 If you're anything like my mom or maybe your mom is something like my mom, you've got a bunch of VHS

00:29:43.140 tapes with home videos from 1992 lying around and they're really precious. They might not be the

00:29:49.400 highest quality, but I love watching these and the thought of them going away or not being able to

00:29:55.140 preserve them makes me really sad. Or all of the Polaroids, the old pictures that my mom has. I mean,

00:30:01.160 she's very well organized. She's got boxes of all of these pictures and some of them are

00:30:05.580 really old from the time like my grandmother was little when she was little. And I love all

00:30:10.300 of these memories, but it would be great to just put them in one place. You don't want something

00:30:14.120 to happen to these and you don't have them to pass on. That's what Legacy Box does. You fill the box

00:30:20.720 that they send you with these VHS tapes, with all of these pictures, and they digitize them and put them

00:30:25.880 all in one spot. They send them right back to you. And then you have all of these forever. You have the

00:30:30.700 hard copies if you prefer that, but you also have this digital file that you can then pass on to

00:30:36.800 future generations. So to get 55% off, go to legacybox.com slash Allie. That's legacybox.com

00:30:44.860 slash Allie. Okay. According to Gallup, from 2000 to 2007, 28% of women aged 18 to 29, we've got the

00:30:58.100 lines up there. We're 3% more likely than men, only three, 3% more likely than men to identify

00:31:06.320 as liberal. That's crazy. That's only a little bit more than from 2008, 2016, 32% of that same

00:31:15.700 demographic identified as liberal, five points higher than males. Okay. So it's happening a little

00:31:22.560 bit more. You've got the Obama presidency, you've got BLM, you've got wokeness, you've got the police

00:31:29.320 brutality protests and all of that. Obama accelerated progressivism so much, it's unreal. From 2017 to

00:31:36.160 2024, a stunning 40% of women, 18 to 29, identified as liberal. So now 15 points higher than men.

00:31:44.360 You've got George Floyd, you've got the COVID lockdowns, all the stuff that we talked about in

00:31:48.800 the beginning. There's something about Trump that a lot of feminists just had an aversion to, which

00:31:53.540 like, I understand that. But again, I think in a lot of cases, it's unreasonable to think about policy

00:31:59.680 like that. By comparison, so we're breaking all of this down. By comparison, the percentage of men

00:32:06.800 in that age group identifying as liberal has hovered around 50% during that period of time. But I guess,

00:32:13.940 I bet, I mean, if I were to guess that if you looked at the views of those 50% of men, and maybe

00:32:21.160 the 50% of men who are conservative too, that their views have become more polarized. There was this

00:32:27.860 study that I used to cite all of the time, Pew Research 2017, and it talked about the polarization

00:32:33.460 of politics and how we've become more polarized. Like if you look back to 1990, we had left, right,

00:32:40.740 most of us in the middle, and you just had a few people off to the side. But after the Obama

00:32:45.160 presidency specifically, things changed drastically, we became a lot more polarized. But the polarization

00:32:51.780 was not the fault of conservatives, Republicans, they broke it down when it came to guns, when it

00:32:57.520 came to immigration, when it came to when it came to social issues like marriage and things like that

00:33:04.520 really didn't change. In fact, in some of those cases, they became a little bit more liberal,

00:33:08.640 like on gay marriage and things like that. It was the left that got drastically further left.

00:33:14.380 And if I can find that study, I will link it for you so you can see it. And it's a little aged at

00:33:19.800 this point. But I think it just goes to show that what changed during that time was the Obama presidency,

00:33:25.160 that even though people on the left see him as this unifying guy, he was an extremely polarizing

00:33:31.040 figure. He made so much about race. He went on his apology tour. He so drastically changed the

00:33:38.460 spirit of America. And then of course, Trump was the polar opposite of that. And so you could see why

00:33:44.740 that just kind of sparked this incredible, not incredible in a good way, but a terrible conflict

00:33:51.780 that we have. Okay, then we look at social media and how this plays into like male female psychology

00:33:57.840 in our politics. Technology meets biology. That's one of the lines in this article. So this guy,

00:34:04.060 Vittorio claimed that the social media ecosystem was a vehicle for women's leftward shift. Social

00:34:09.900 media is a consensus engine, he says. You can see what everyone believes in real time. Disagreement

00:34:15.720 is visible, measurable, and punishable at scale. The tribe used to be 150 people. Now it's everyone

00:34:22.580 you've ever met, plus a world of strangers watching. Vittorio also points out that the gender

00:34:29.380 politics gap started to accelerate around 2007. I think this is full screen one after the release

00:34:37.240 of the first iPhone. Although smartphones weren't designed to prey upon women, they ended up capturing

00:34:43.560 females into feedback loops. And I think, again, this goes back to like women hardwiring. This machine

00:34:49.940 wasn't designed to capture women. Specifically, he says it was designed to capture attention, but it

00:34:53.920 captures people more susceptible to consensus pressure more effectively. Women are more susceptible

00:34:59.100 on average. So it captured them more. I think that is 100% true. Like those of us who grew up,

00:35:05.620 thank the good Lord above, before Snapchat and before this kind of social media, like think about the

00:35:13.020 pre-social media days and the things that like we did get addicted to easily, like texting and being in

00:35:20.500 the loop that way. Like we cared. I know boys care about this to a degree, but we cared a lot about

00:35:26.120 getting invited and being left out. And being left out was like the worst thing that you could possibly

00:35:32.160 do. And when you think about boys, and I know this could be hard for some boys, they can prove

00:35:36.740 themselves on a field through athletics or through different ways. Well, women have to prove themselves

00:35:42.160 socially. And the factors contributing to what is cool socially or what qualifies you to be included

00:35:50.520 or popular or whatever are always changing and are so dependent on a variety of factors. And I think

00:35:56.540 that's why it was already hard to be a middle school or high school girl. And then you add social

00:36:01.260 media on top of that, where you didn't have to wait until Monday to know that you missed out on

00:36:05.560 something. You knew in the moment that you missed out on it. That just made it hard. And I think it

00:36:09.920 increased the desperation to be liked, to be included, and to not be bullied. So there's this feedback

00:36:15.920 loop. He says, women complain more than men. I think that's just true in general. Scroll any

00:36:20.840 platform and it looks like women are suffering more. That's such a good distinction that complaining

00:36:25.860 more doesn't necessarily correlate with suffering more. That's so interesting, actually, when you pause

00:36:33.800 for a second, that we assume that all of these victim groups are suffering more because they say

00:36:40.100 they're suffering more. But complaining is not the same thing as suffering. Something to think about for

00:36:45.460 all of us. Institutions respond to the complaints, this person points out, because visible distress

00:36:52.660 creates liability, PR risk, and regulatory pressure. In addition, women are weaker and inevitably seen as

00:36:59.140 the victim in most scenarios. It's true. We're just physically smaller. The institutional response

00:37:04.520 is to make environments safer. We are also more safety prone. That's why I'm the one who is like,

00:37:11.000 you know, I see moms and dads at the park and I really try not to do this. I really don't do this.

00:37:18.180 And sometimes it's been the right move and sometimes it's the wrong move. I try not to stalk my kids on the

00:37:22.880 playground. Like there are moms, you know, like afraid that their four-year-old can't climb the ladder.

00:37:27.960 And I know there are stipulating circumstances, but your four-year-old can probably climb the ladder.

00:37:32.120 And if falling is not going to like seriously, seriously injure them, then the risk is worth it.

00:37:39.000 But that takes effort on my part. Like that takes conscious, like sitting on my hands in self-control,

00:37:45.680 whereas men are just more prone to taking risks and even allowing their children to take risks.

00:37:50.340 So making an environment safer, he points out, not just playgrounds, but you know, in the adult world

00:37:56.140 means removing conflict. That means censoring disagreements. That's something that women

00:38:01.400 are typically uncomfortable with. It means the consensus strengthens. It means that anyone who

00:38:07.540 disagrees with you is not only seen as someone who's disagreeing with you. This is my commentary,

00:38:11.460 but actually an oppressor, someone who is unsafe, someone who is harmful. You see this manifest itself

00:38:18.000 so much. Meanwhile, Vittorio claims that men retreated into dopamine hamster wheels. Interesting

00:38:24.940 way to put it, rather than affirmation loops. So women got ideological conformity from social media.

00:38:31.620 Men got withdrawal. They got porn. They got video games. They got gambling apps, outreach content.

00:38:36.680 The male capture wasn't believe this or face social death. It was here's an endless supply of dopamine.

00:38:42.660 So you never have to build anything real. That's interesting. I mean, I think it goes, I think it's both for

00:38:49.560 each in its own degree, but I agree that one draw is more powerful to men and one draw is more

00:38:55.580 powerful to women. And that's part of why we're seeing this, these disparate politics. Okay. Let

00:39:01.220 me pause, tell you about our next sponsor and that is crowd health. So health insurance has become so

00:39:06.960 complicated. It's become a huge mess. You want it because you're afraid not to have it because you

00:39:12.180 have been told that if you don't have health insurance, you are, you know, basically just SOL.

00:39:17.360 Like you don't have a way to pay for anything and you're going to have to pay out of pocket tens

00:39:21.900 of thousands of dollars, but that is not necessarily true. In fact, sometimes even with

00:39:27.680 health insurance, you are paying tens of thousands of dollars anyway. And with those restrictive

00:39:32.780 doctors networks and the high premiums and deductibles, it might just be time to opt out

00:39:38.180 all together and join crowd health. You join a crowd of like-minded people who want to help each

00:39:44.480 other pay for their medical events. We use crowd health. It has worked great so far. We're

00:39:49.860 very thankful for it. You pay a fee every month that feeds into the crowd. And then when someone

00:39:56.920 has a health emergency, they pay the first $500 and then the crowd steps in to cover the

00:40:02.480 rest. And the same is true for you. It's really like having each other's back. And it's a very,

00:40:07.760 I think like a very biblical way to help take care of one another. The crowd really is working

00:40:14.140 together to make sure that you're cared for. They also have bill negotiators, lower cost prescriptions

00:40:20.120 and labs, doctors vetted for quality and affordability. And again, if something major

00:40:25.440 happens, just cover the first portion and the crowd takes care of the rest. With my code,

00:40:30.300 Allie, you only have to pay $99 for the first three months. That's a great deal. Join crowdhealth.com

00:40:38.140 code Allie. Crowd health is not insurance. Opt out. Take your power back. This is how we win.

00:40:49.780 Also, there's the university influence. We've got the ratio of liberal professors to conservatives.

00:40:54.480 It was two to one in 1995. Can you imagine? I remember the conservative professors that I had

00:41:03.500 in college. I went to school at a small school in South Carolina, graduated in 2014. And I remember

00:41:10.660 then, because there were the debates about gay marriage and all of that, like wokeness was definitely

00:41:17.640 in the air a little bit. I took some classes. Probably my most liberal class was my religion class.

00:41:24.280 Who said that God's love was too big to only allow Jesus to be the only way to heaven. And I was like,

00:41:30.060 well, isn't it loving that he sent any way to get to heaven? And of course, that was not that with

00:41:36.680 very much acceptance from that professor. I also had another professor who said that gender and sex

00:41:43.820 are two different things. And I just completely ignorant of that argument said, no, they're not.

00:41:48.300 They're synonyms. And that person actually didn't say anything, but that's changed a lot.

00:41:53.640 That was only however many years ago that was, 12 years ago that I was in college and actually

00:42:00.320 longer ago than that. Longer ago than that. But, you know, those professors, they might have said

00:42:06.840 something, but you could push back in the classroom and you weren't probably going to get in trouble for

00:42:12.400 it because they knew that the student body was pretty conservative, that they had other administrators

00:42:17.140 and other teachers who were conservative. Our president at the time was conservative, but then

00:42:22.680 Furman got another president who was not conservative and that changed a bunch of things,

00:42:27.860 you know, went with the times just like every other university. So now, or at least in 2019,

00:42:33.460 it's probably even changed since then. Progressives to conservatives, six to one, six to one.

00:42:39.420 And City Journal says that university faculty are more likely to self-identify as far left or very

00:42:46.600 liberal than being on the right. So not even just liberal, but far left. College students are 60%

00:42:53.300 female, according to the Department of Education. And women are also 7% more likely than men to

00:43:01.120 graduate. And so that is also part of this. It's kind of a little bit of both that you've got women who

00:43:08.080 are making the universities safer from bad opinions and more liberal and universities who are making

00:43:15.820 those women more liberal. It's kind of that feedback loop. This person, Vittorio, claims that

00:43:21.120 this has created an echo chamber that has further entrenched college-educated women into their

00:43:26.360 political views. Quote, four years surrounded by peers who all believe the same thing. Professors who

00:43:31.540 all believe the same thing. Reading lists pointing in one direction. Disagreement is not even rare.

00:43:37.580 It is socially punished. Yes, we've seen that. We've talked to people like that on this show.

00:43:42.820 You learn to pattern match. That's an interesting phrase. The acceptable opinions and perform them.

00:43:49.320 Pattern matching is actually a very important part of just getting along socially. And I do think

00:43:55.800 getting along socially in some level of uniformity and behavior in customs is important for the social

00:44:03.040 contract in any country. But there are bad things to be uniformed about. You don't want to be uniformed

00:44:10.560 and be communist. When you're a uniformed communist, then people die. So that's kind of what's going on

00:44:15.440 here. And actually, I don't even have this in front of me, but I'm about to talk about this on Fox,

00:44:22.200 actually, that women are more likely, according to a recent study, to be okay with political violence

00:44:30.980 against their political enemies than liberal men or conservative men. Now, they're not always the

00:44:36.840 ones carrying it out, but they are perpetuating this assassination culture. And that is just because

00:44:42.920 they're progressive and far-left progressives are always violent. They just are. Quote from this

00:44:48.360 article, then they graduate into female-dominated fields, HR, social work, media, education,

00:44:54.160 healthcare, nonprofits, where the monoculture continues. From 18 to 35, many women never

00:45:01.300 encounter sustained disagreement from people they respect. Gosh, this just enlightens my DMs on

00:45:11.640 Instagram so much. It does really seem like sometimes. And you know, when I did that surrounded

00:45:18.240 debate where it was me, 20 so-called liberal Christians, the reason why I wasn't that, you know,

00:45:25.800 it felt pretty simple for me. Like, I don't want to say easy because, you know, debates are hard. But

00:45:32.080 the reason why I was not like thrown off is because I had heard every single one of those arguments

00:45:37.380 before. As a conservative, you're not part of the zeitgeist. So you're always seeing those arguments

00:45:42.360 on social media, in media, in Hollywood. But understand that progressives never have to be

00:45:48.560 met with a conservative view if they don't want to. They don't have to. They don't have to watch Trump.

00:45:53.440 They don't have to listen to Vance. They don't have to listen to Relatable. They should have to.

00:45:57.500 They should have to listen to Relatable. And if, you know, if I'm ever queen, you heard me,

00:46:03.440 queen, you have to listen to Relatable. That's part of the deprogramming that we are going to put in

00:46:09.760 place. Anyway, they don't have to listen to a conservative opinion or a different opinion.

00:46:16.680 They can go to work. They can go to school. They can talk to their friends. They can live in a

00:46:21.620 liberal place and literally never hear a conservative opinion. But I have to hear liberal

00:46:25.780 opinions all of the time, which is actually helpful. It makes us smarter because you can think

00:46:31.500 about, OK, well, what is the rebuttal to that? And when you think through rebuttals,

00:46:35.400 it just makes you a better thinker and a better communicator. And liberals really never have to do

00:46:39.760 that, which is why I would think like when you're talking to your liberal aunt, like why she just

00:46:46.200 immediately gets angry and insults you. Maybe not always. I hope that you have a very sweet,

00:46:50.520 bleeding heart liberal aunt who is not a radical. But that's why a lot of your friends just start

00:46:55.320 calling you names. Like if you point out, hey, is there any other scenario in which you think it's

00:46:59.740 OK to kill a living human being, like an innocent human being, to try to get them to think about

00:47:04.360 why they justify abortion and not other kinds of murder? And they just get mad at you. Yeah,

00:47:09.460 well, they've never heard that before. And it's uncomfortable going back to the beginning. It's

00:47:13.900 uncomfortable to think because it puts you in the social out group. And that feels like suicide for

00:47:19.000 a lot of for a lot of women. Vittorio argues that also marriage fundamentally changes a woman's

00:47:25.420 relationship to the government. We see this data right here, quote, single women interact with

00:47:31.180 government more as provider of services. Married women interact with the government more as a taker

00:47:36.400 of taxes. True, true. Fewer women are wanting to get married and have kids as we see. And that

00:47:44.700 actually, can we put that graph back up? That graph shows that the more married you are,

00:47:50.880 if you are married, you are more likely to be Republican. And if you are single, you are more

00:47:56.920 likely to be Democrat. Now, I've got single conservative friends, by the way, if you're a

00:48:01.280 single conservative related bro, I've got a couple of friends that I can set you up with. But it's rare,

00:48:07.180 as as you can see, most of them are most of them are going to be Democrat. And that's because I also

00:48:14.000 think marriage instability and responsibility. And it just has a conservatizing nature to it and a

00:48:24.060 Christianizing nature. It just makes you think differently. When you have kids, you have this

00:48:29.000 biological stake in the future and you see how policies and how culture, not just policies, but

00:48:35.220 social views affect them. Like, I know that there are some crazy parents out there. We know that.

00:48:41.040 But it's like, yeah, you think, oh, it's insane to believe that a man can become

00:48:45.240 a woman. But then when you have kids, you're like, oh my gosh, this precious boy or this precious girl

00:48:52.020 that I know has been a boy or a girl since the moment of conception inside my womb, they want to

00:48:57.060 change that. They want to change this kid. They want to propagandize this person and make him feel

00:49:01.940 like he's born in the wrong body. It just becomes a lot more real. So I think you just become more

00:49:06.540 conservative and even more religious, the more married you are, which is exactly why all the

00:49:11.320 powers that be are trying to disincentivize marriage and disincentivize having kids because

00:49:17.900 you're just more progressive. You rely on the government. It ushers in their progressive

00:49:23.280 communist utopia. If women continue to be useful idiots of communism and socialism, the more single

00:49:29.280 they are, the more likely they are to be that. All right. I got to pause to tell you about our next

00:49:33.640 sponsor before we talk about the rest of this. And that is Reprev. So thankful for Reprev. I have

00:49:41.880 been using the powder that you put in the water and you mix it together because it's got all of

00:49:46.640 these incredible ingredients that have a calming effect. And after I talk about this kind of stuff,

00:49:51.160 I kind of need to calm down because I got, I had like my three cups of coffee this morning.

00:49:56.200 I'm wound up by the stuff that I see on social media. And sometimes I just need to take a chill pill,

00:50:02.700 but this is better than a pill. This is like chill powder. It's got magnesium. It's got GABA. It's

00:50:08.300 got tart cherry extract. It's got L-theanine. All of these researched back ingredients are so good

00:50:13.940 for your body and your body needs them to get to a state of calm. And so I love this. It tastes really

00:50:21.220 good. It's really easy. It's just a great thing to add to your day, especially at night. If you have a

00:50:26.400 hard time winding down and getting your mind to calm down, you should try Reprev. You're really going to

00:50:31.200 like it. It's from the Wholesome Company. Go to wholesomeisbetter.com. Use code Allie. You'll get

00:50:47.880 Okay. Just, just to let you know, I had two other huge stories that we were going to talk about today

00:50:54.660 and we just, we can't get to them. So I do just want to say that I do want to talk about that story

00:51:00.460 of Trump, the Trump administration, allegedly allowing millions of dollars to go back to

00:51:06.920 Planned Parenthood that had kind of been suspended from them. And that is really important. We have

00:51:12.000 all the research right in front of us, but this story and my little rant at the beginning ended

00:51:16.920 up taking longer than we thought. I'm not ignoring that. That's an important story. I am not afraid to

00:51:22.440 call out the Trump administration if all of that is true. I want to make sure that all of it is true

00:51:26.880 because I want this presidency to be pro-life. I want them to defund Planned Parenthood entirely.

00:51:33.200 I want Planned Parenthood to be abolished. I want abortion to be abolished, which would put

00:51:37.640 Planned Parenthood out of a job. And so I want all of that. And so we're going to talk about that.

00:51:43.500 And we're also going to talk about, gosh, we've been meaning to talk about this for weeks,

00:51:46.280 this Chinese surrogacy story. Also Meghan Trainor using a surrogate. Come on. Like we got to know that

00:51:53.860 womb renting at this point is so unethical. So we'll get to that. Um, at some point, honestly,

00:51:59.760 only two monologues a week is tough for your girl. I like the cadence, but I got a lot to say

00:52:06.720 if you haven't noticed. And people ask me, how do you find, you know, all the subjects to talk about?

00:52:12.360 I'm like, no, I can't find the hours to talk about them. That's the real problem. We got a lot

00:52:17.700 going on in this world. Okay. So as of 2023, 67% of the nation's 12th graders say that they will

00:52:24.820 likely choose to get married someday down from 80% in 1993. That's bleak. Another 24% say they don't

00:52:33.760 know if they'll get married up from 16%. The share saying they don't plan on getting married someday

00:52:40.200 is largely unchanged. A smaller share of 12th graders now than now than in 1993. Got it. Say

00:52:49.500 they're very likely to stay married to the same person for life. If they do tie the knot about

00:52:55.800 half say this compared to 59% in 1993, both those numbers are bad. The share of 12th graders who say

00:53:02.320 they're very likely to want to have kids in this situation has also decreased 64% in 1993, 48%.

00:53:10.200 That's not good. You know, I just watched this clip from Dax Shepard. He's married to Kristen Bell,

00:53:20.520 best known as Kristen Bell's husband, Kristen Bell, best known as Princess Anna. And they were talking

00:53:26.800 about their daughter and I think their daughter is like 11. And he was saying how he is going to pay

00:53:33.560 for his daughter to freeze her eggs when she turns 18. She asked him like, or they were talking about

00:53:40.720 when to get married and have kids. And he said, Oh yeah, I think you'll have kids from, you know,

00:53:46.640 any time between 35 and 45. And he said, his daughter said, Oh, that's too old. I want to do

00:53:51.620 that in my mid twenties. And he says, Oh no, she's going to be having too much fun in her twenties to

00:53:57.220 think about getting married and having kids. So I'm just going to have her freeze her eggs.

00:54:02.300 So she doesn't have to think about that. Okay. I am so disgusted by that Dax Shepard. So disgusted.

00:54:08.580 That is a horrible parenting fail. I mean, how immature is short sighted? First of all, it's bad

00:54:15.160 for your body to freeze your eggs. You have to pump yourself with all kinds of artificial,

00:54:19.280 artificial hormones to do that. Do that to an 18 year old that can seriously mess your body up.

00:54:24.660 And by the way, it increases your chances of, uh, ovarian cancer as well as breast cancer. All

00:54:30.960 right. So that's not good. And then later you have to go through IVF. Like you have to then implant

00:54:37.980 that, um, inseminated egg into your body, unless you rent the womb of another person and you have to

00:54:45.980 pump yourself with artificial hormones to do that, which again is bad for you. And there's a reason,

00:54:51.580 and by the way, biologically, we were designed to have children at a certain age for the most part,

00:54:58.220 but I'm just wondering how many conversations are being had like this. And is that why so many kids

00:55:04.220 these days are saying they don't want to get married? How many parents are actually influencing

00:55:08.100 their kids to say, Oh no, no, you don't want to have kids in your mid twenties when you're a young

00:55:15.000 adult when it's the easiest to have kids, by the way. No, no, no. You want to push that off until

00:55:20.540 you're 40 years old. Let's just freeze your eggs. You want to pursue your career. You want to have fun.

00:55:26.380 You want to party. You want to get your heart broken and your body defiled by all of these people

00:55:32.180 who won't love you forever. I mean, that's horrible advice. And I'm sure he's not the only one,

00:55:37.440 maybe not saying I'll pay for you to get your eggs frozen, but encouraging their girls and their

00:55:42.220 boys to just explore the world. That's terrible advice. You should take advice. Well, you should

00:55:47.740 take advice from your parents if they're wise, but if not, take advice from me. If you have the option

00:55:54.120 to get married to a godly man or woman in your early twenties, you should. Not everyone has that

00:56:00.780 option. Sometimes you don't meet the right person until you're 35 and that is God's plan for your life.

00:56:06.520 But if you have the option to get married, get married. If you have the option to have kids,

00:56:11.760 have kids. I had my first at 26, I believe. And I should have started earlier. I think I should

00:56:19.020 have started earlier. And it all worked out. I'm very thankful for the three kids that I have. But

00:56:23.700 I even know that having my third at 31 was different than having my first at 26. Like your body just

00:56:31.580 changes. Not discouraging people from having kids when they're older, but we have to think about these

00:56:36.600 biological realities and that these biological realities and subduing them on purpose to chase

00:56:42.640 lesser things actually has an impact on our psychology and on our politics. Boys are more

00:56:49.780 likely than girls to say that they want to get married one day. This was not always the case in

00:56:55.160 1993. A larger share of girls than boys said that they wanted to get married. The share of boys saying

00:57:01.620 this is virtually unchanged over the 30 year period. Again, this just goes to show this just goes to

00:57:08.020 show how much has changed for girls. If you look at like what Gen Z women are prioritizing NBC had

00:57:17.580 something interesting. They had this chart. I think we have it that we can put up. If you are a female

00:57:23.440 who voted for Harris, the number one thing you care about is having a job or a career that you find

00:57:29.200 fulfilling. Same thing for a male who voted for Harris. Female who voted for Trump achieving financial

00:57:35.400 independence. Male who voted for Trump having children. You sweet, sweet men. For even the

00:57:43.520 female who voted Trump, having children was number six. Now, being married fell under having children for

00:57:53.700 men, which I thought was interesting. Having children was number 10 on the priority list.

00:57:58.780 For men who voted for Harris. Having children was number 12 out of 13 in the list of priorities

00:58:05.600 for women who voted for Harris. So this is just a huge, huge priority gap as well as just a politics

00:58:16.580 gap and the value gap. And I think the choices gap and the politics gap are really feeding each other.

00:58:23.020 Okay. Let's skip all the way down. Let's skip down to the faith segment because we've got a lot in here

00:58:31.360 and we need to wrap up within the next few minutes. Women are trying to fare life without faith more so

00:58:40.120 than men are. There's a spiritual crisis going on here. If we put up, let's see, let's do full screen 12

00:58:48.620 first. Um, a 25 year reversal in men and women's church attendance. So for the first time I'm looking

00:58:57.700 at this chart, it looks like for the first time maybe ever, but this chart only goes to 2000 more

00:59:04.360 men, I guess for the past few years, more men have been attending church than women. 45% of men in

00:59:13.400 America attend church weekly. You go men, 36% of women. And you know, I just think a lot of women's

00:59:21.820 ministries try to reach these women by being more liberal. And it just makes the problem worse

00:59:28.340 because look, if you're getting liberal progressivism from church, then you might as well

00:59:33.420 go to brunch. You can get that from your gal pals. You don't need it from your pastor. If your pastor

00:59:38.940 sounds just like the world or your women's ministry sounds just like the social media activists that

00:59:43.880 you follow, then you don't need to go to church. I'm not saying that they need to be preaching

00:59:48.720 conservative politics. Although if you are in line with the Bible, like your politics will get more

00:59:54.220 conservative. They just will, but you should be preaching the Bible. You should be preaching the

00:59:57.940 Bible, even when it makes women mad. And you should just go all in on the truth and believe that women,

01:00:05.240 that God can soften their hearts. Just be faithful. Don't try to reach women by, you know,

01:00:11.620 being more trendy and being more liberal. It's just not going to work. And it just exacerbates

01:00:16.360 the problem. All right. We've got more about how women are faring without faith and what this means

01:00:23.200 for their mental health and what this means for their politics. And then lastly, like what we should

01:00:27.440 actually do about it. Let me go ahead and tell you about our last sponsor for the day. It's an amazing

01:00:31.460 sponsor. It's EveryLife. It is the pro-life diaper company. We use EveryLife in our home. We love

01:00:36.980 EveryLife diapers. They're not only great clean materials, but they also work. I mean, they last

01:00:41.500 all night. You don't have to worry about leaks and things like that. Their wipes are great. I love all

01:00:46.120 of the materials that they use all natural. They also have a women's care line. So important that we

01:00:51.700 get feminine care, that we get diapers from people who know that life inside the womb matters and also

01:00:57.320 the definition of a woman. So partner with EveryLife. Switch to their products today. You will

01:01:02.200 be so glad you did. Go to EveryLife.com. Use code Allie10. You'll get 10% off your first order.

01:01:08.840 EveryLife.com. Code Allie10. More than one-third of women report having been diagnosed with depression

01:01:18.800 compared to one in five men. That's why so many women are on SSRIs. SSRIs can actually exacerbate your

01:01:24.520 mental health problems, your propensity towards violence, instability, and all of that. Dr. Arthur

01:01:28.960 Brooks explains that it's even higher among white liberal women. Sot One. Very interesting new data

01:01:34.240 show that white liberal women under 30 have almost a 6 in 10 chance of having been diagnosed with a

01:01:40.720 mental illness in America today. It's a really big problem. And there's lots of speculation on what

01:01:44.740 that has to do with politics, what has to do with race, what has to do with age, et cetera, et cetera.

01:01:48.620 But what you find is that this is a group that's really, really struggling. And it's a pity

01:01:52.240 because it's not good for them. It's not good for society. And that's what we see.

01:01:58.280 Yeah. Progressivism is inherently destabilizing. That's why you, you know, that's why Renee Good

01:02:05.420 happened. She thought she was a hero. She and her lesbian partner thought that they were heroes.

01:02:09.500 They put themselves, you know, in opposition to armed officers, try to run one over. I don't know if

01:02:16.440 she tried to run one over with her car, but she did. And he had internal bleeding and

01:02:21.360 it's a horrible situation. And it was the radicalization that got her there. We did an

01:02:27.380 episode about that. It kind of dovetails really nicely with this episode. I'm just so interested

01:02:32.380 in the subject because like, I really, I really care about women and I care about girls being raised

01:02:41.760 in the truth. And I just see this response to liberal feminism on the right and maybe among

01:02:48.440 some men on the right that actually is vile and hates women and actually thinks women are inherently

01:02:56.840 not valuable, inherently not smart, have nothing to contribute and are basically slaves. And I,

01:03:04.540 that is not true. That's not the position I have. Women are made in the image of God,

01:03:09.500 fully valuable. Christianity offers the value and the substance and the meaning and fulfillment to

01:03:16.100 women that they are trying to find elsewhere, that they are looking to Glennon Doyle for and to

01:03:24.200 Jenna Hatmaker for, and they're not finding, they're just finding, you know, more vapidity,

01:03:30.200 if that's even a word. I don't think it's vapidness, the noun of vapid. We'll go with vapidity.

01:03:36.120 Um, they're just finding less and less substance and more and more just anger and bitterness.

01:03:43.780 Turn to Jesus. I'm not just trying to make you be Republican. I just want you to know where your

01:03:49.640 identity lies, that you can have the stability, the love that you're looking for in Christ.

01:03:56.560 It's not going to be found in the one night stand. It's not going to be found in social justice.

01:04:00.460 It's not going to be found in your activism. It's only going to be found in him. And then

01:04:05.040 like, once you're there, I feel like, okay, we might disagree on politics and we might still

01:04:12.240 disagree on some policy, but ultimately that's where I want you to go. But liberal politics is

01:04:18.120 like just an overflow of not being in alignment with scripture. That's going to scandalize some

01:04:26.880 people, but it's just true. Okay. Let's, what does the Bible have to say about all of this?

01:04:31.080 Cause men and women are different, both sinful, both sinned in the garden, but sinned in different

01:04:36.700 ways. I just want to read this passage. It's a little bit long, but I think so much of life's

01:04:43.620 lessons can be found, can be learned from just the first three chapters of the Bible. This is Genesis

01:04:50.540 three, one through 13, and just kind of make your own observations. As you hear me read this. Now,

01:04:56.240 the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made. He said

01:05:01.400 to the woman, did God actually say you shall not eat of any tree in the garden? And the woman said

01:05:06.220 to the serpent, we may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden, but God said, you shall not eat of

01:05:11.300 the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden. Neither shall you touch it lest you die.

01:05:15.720 But the serpent said to the woman, you shall not surely die. For God knows that when you eat

01:05:20.440 of it, your eyes will be open and you will be like God, knowing good and evil. So when the woman saw

01:05:25.640 that the tree was good for food, that it was a delight to the eyes and that the tree was to be

01:05:30.980 desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. And she also gave some to her husband who

01:05:37.260 was with her and he ate. And the eyes of both were open and they knew that they were naked and they

01:05:42.040 sewed thick leaves together and made themselves loincloths. And they heard the sound of the Lord God

01:05:47.160 walking in the garden, the cool of day of the day. And the man and his wife hid themselves from the

01:05:51.520 presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. And then it goes on. The man blamed the

01:05:59.200 woman, the woman blamed the snake. And of course the rest is a brutal, bloody, and very simple history

01:06:07.120 that is thankfully redeemed through Jesus Christ. So I would love for you to comment on YouTube or

01:06:14.740 on Spotify in that passage. Like what are some things that jumped out at you? I'm sure you've read

01:06:20.700 that before, but what are some things that jumped out at you about Eve and the nature of that first

01:06:26.340 temptation? What Satan asked her, how she responded, what that means about her belief about God in that

01:06:33.940 moment and trusting him? I always learn something new every time I read that passage. Like Eve,

01:06:41.580 some women in scripture have led men in their lives to be led astray. When we look at 1 Kings,

01:06:48.080 for example, when we look at Herod's wife and the New Testament, well, 1 Kings, let me explain that a

01:06:57.180 little bit. 1 Kings 21, of course, Jezebel promoted Baal worship, persecuted prophets. And then in the

01:07:05.260 New Testament, John the Baptist was beheaded at the behest of Herod's wife. And then also the Apostle

01:07:14.880 Paul in 2 Timothy 3, 6 through 7 warns that for among them are those who creep, false teachers among

01:07:22.260 them are those who creep into households and capture weak women burdened with sins and led astray by

01:07:28.060 various passions, always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of truth. So at the end of

01:07:39.000 the day, God's way is better. In Christ, you'll find fulfillment. You'll find satisfaction. You'll find

01:07:44.540 stability. You'll find reasonableness. You'll find rationality. Use your brain. Do not suspend your

01:07:50.720 compassion and your love for other people, but don't allow that love and compassion to paralyze

01:07:57.240 your brain from thinking, especially when we are making policy decisions. Stop reading romantic

01:08:03.800 smut. Stop following these liberal activists that claim to be nuanced and in the middle, but never had

01:08:11.520 these complaints in the past administrations. I do encourage you. Both of my books speak to this

01:08:17.640 issue, especially toxic empathy, and it is not about suspending compassion at all. It is about

01:08:23.880 understanding true compassion and wielding it in a way that is truthful and helpful. And then You're

01:08:29.080 Not Enough is really about who we are and identity in Christ and not believing that the self is the

01:08:35.100 answer to all of our problems. So I do encourage you to get both of those on Amazon. They're always

01:08:40.160 linked in the description of this episode. All right, guys, that's all we got time for today. We will be back

01:08:46.020 here on Wednesday.
