Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 1319 ｜ Teen Fiction’s Dark Turn, Islamification Update & Reaction to Netflix’s Dino Doc

00:00:00.840 Islamic terrorists are turning up the heat in America, and finally, some of our leaders 1.00

00:00:05.460 in Washington, D.C. are waking up and are trying to do something about it.

00:00:10.880 Also, there is a young adult fiction novel that has been endorsed by Good Morning America

00:00:16.440 that depicts a very, very disturbing sexual theme that needs to be spoken out against.

00:00:23.380 We've got a guest here today, an expert to talk about what that book is and how we fight

00:00:28.720 back in our libraries and in our bookstores. And then I will be reacting to the Netflix documentary

00:00:35.160 on dinosaurs. We've got all of that and more on today's episode of Relatable. It's brought to you

00:00:40.780 by our very good friends at Good Ranchers. It's American meat delivered right to your front door.

00:00:58.720 Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Wednesday. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week.

00:01:03.840 Well, you guys had some opinions about my new setup. Y'all, change is hard. Change is tough.

00:01:11.840 Every single change that we have made on the set of Relatable has been met with people saying,

00:01:17.900 no, go back to the way it was, which is understandable. I understand your opinions

00:01:25.240 and I do take them seriously.

00:01:27.780 We are not finished with revamping our setup

00:01:31.180 and revamping the set,

00:01:33.080 but you will get used to some of the changes

00:01:36.800 that we are making

00:01:37.740 and I think you will enjoy them over time.

00:01:40.220 One thing I do hear you about

00:01:41.820 is that the couch was a little bit homier,

00:01:45.780 a little bit more welcoming

00:01:47.200 and that it felt different than other podcasts

00:01:49.680 and I understand that.

00:01:50.600 And so we are thinking about ways

00:01:52.460 that we can remedy that

00:01:53.620 to make sure that it is still relatable,

00:01:55.600 that it doesn't look like some kind of stern newscast

00:01:59.000 because this really is me coming alongside you,

00:02:03.520 especially you moms out there trying to navigate 1.00

00:02:05.960 the craziness and the chaos of the world

00:02:08.340 with as much clarity and courage as possible.

00:02:11.740 And some of these things I'm learning

00:02:13.200 and figuring out right along with you.

00:02:15.100 And so I want it to feel that we really are

00:02:19.220 like talking in a living room, discussing these things.

00:02:22.280 But one thing that is so important in that is connection with my audience and actually

00:02:27.660 you being able to see my expressions and see my eyes helps with that.

00:02:32.680 And I think that you will be able to kind of get used to that and enjoy that over time.

00:02:38.000 And if you are a listener, as we have many, many listeners who don't watch on YouTube

00:02:41.960 or Spotify, you should go check it out on YouTube or Spotify and you can tell us, tell

00:02:47.760 us what you think and we will take it under advisement.

00:02:51.600 All right, a couple things. If you haven't signed up for Share the Arrows, now is the time, y'all. I don't want you to miss out. I don't want you to accidentally wait too long and then the plane ticket prices are too high. Just figure it all out now if you can. Get your tickets, bring your small group, bring your mother-in-law, bring your mom, bring your sisters, bring your friends. It's only a women's conference. 0.93

00:03:15.420 Although I will say just a sneak peek, there will be male representation on the stage this

00:03:24.060 year, okay?

00:03:25.420 Still a women's conference, will always only be a women's conference, but there will be

00:03:30.460 some male teaching and maybe some male singing from the stage this year.

00:03:36.000 It's going to be so good.

00:03:37.060 I cannot wait.

00:04:04.100 All right, let's get into all of the things that we've got to discuss today.

00:04:07.760 we've got the most serious stuff up front. We've got a good conversation, important conversation

00:04:13.860 in the middle, and then we'll end on a light-hearted note, but also some serious points

00:04:20.040 to be made as we discuss dinosaurs. Let us start with a very unfortunate trend that has been

00:04:25.760 happening for, in one sense, several centuries, but it certainly ramped up in the past several

00:04:31.840 years and then even more in the past several weeks. And that is that in the last few weeks,

00:04:37.060 There have been four terrorist attacks on U.S. soil, and it seems that all of these terrorist attacks, these four attacks that have been lodged in the past three weeks alone, have been inspired by Islam.

00:04:51.420 All of them have associated themselves with Islam or ISIS, Islamic terrorist groups, or they come from Islamic-majority countries.

00:05:01.920 earlier this month we mentioned this last week or a couple weeks ago there was a bar shooting

00:05:07.100 in Austin Texas where the perpetrator wore a property of a law hoodie you can see that right

00:05:13.900 there he carried out the shooting absolutely tragic Americans lost their lives there if you

00:05:19.780 saw the videos going around of bartenders trying to resuscitate their customers after this I almost

00:05:26.280 said maniac but you know I don't even want to dismiss evil by calling it a mental health problem

00:05:31.160 Just this evil person, this evil perpetrator decided to take their lives, I guess, in the name of defending Iran, defending the Islamic Republic, defending his version of God.

00:05:43.560 And then in New York City last week, two men attempted to use homemade explosive devices inspired by ISIS during a protest outside Mayor Mamdani's residence. 0.78

00:05:53.760 Now, they were not protesting Mayor Mamdani, who is a Muslim and I believe a terrorist sympathizer himself. 0.52

00:06:01.480 They were protesting, counter protesting, I guess, or opposing a protest that was happening in New York City that was organized by those who are anti-Islam.

00:06:14.160 And critics would call it a white nationalist rally.

00:06:17.780 And they would say, no, they are just opposing the Islamic takeover of their city. 0.63

00:06:23.460 And so these two young men, they came from their nice, cushy suburb.

00:06:29.100 They came over to New York City and they tried to detonate a bomb.

00:06:33.140 And NYPD, I mean, filled with heroes that day, saving the lives of people, ensuring that those guys were arrested and that people remained safe and that that bomb did not kill people.

00:06:47.080 And then later that same week, Islamists carried out attacks on Old Dominion University in Virginia and the Temple Israel Synagogue in Michigan.

00:06:57.620 Now, the interesting thing, the disturbing thing here is that all of these attackers were in the United States legally.

00:07:06.520 OK, so these were not people who traveled in from Afghanistan and Afghani national that came here to the United States to carry out these attacks.

00:07:14.820 Of course, that would be devastating and disturbing.

00:07:17.080 They're also not illegal immigrants who came in through Biden's open border policies.

00:07:21.940 These are people who are naturalized citizens or the two guys in New York City.

00:07:26.680 I think they are the sons of immigrants.

00:07:29.920 So these are all legal citizens in the United States, which actually highlights a bigger and more troubling problem in the rise of Islam, that it goes beyond illegal immigration. 0.78

00:07:41.360 It goes beyond border policy.

00:07:43.360 We've got a much bigger, more insidious, cultural, moral issue going on here.

00:07:50.340 And so how we address that problem is a lot more difficult and is going to cause, I think,

00:07:58.420 a lot more pain and a lot more passionate reactions than we see over illegal immigration.

00:08:04.640 The Michigan synagogue attacker was a Lebanese national who was natural naturalized into a U.S. citizen in 2016.

00:08:13.960 The Old Dominion shooter, Mohamed Baylor Jallot, was a citizen who had already served time in prison for attempting to assist ISIS.

00:08:22.500 And so that was in 2016.

00:08:24.680 He was actually let out of prison under the Biden administration in December of 2024.

00:08:30.880 Why was he let out of prison?

00:08:34.640 After he attempted to assist ISIS, it is completely unclear.

00:08:39.480 So that is actually a problem of our justice system.

00:08:42.660 So we've got justice system problems and we've got legal immigration problems in the United States.

00:08:48.600 And that legal immigration problem has resulted in a huge rise in the Muslim population over the past several years. 0.80

00:08:56.680 specifically if we look at pew research from 2007 to 2017 the muslim population in america rose

00:09:03.380 from 2.35 million to 3.45 million that is a 50 increase in just 10 years of course 2017 was nine

00:09:13.760 years ago and so it's increased a lot more since then it's projected to reach 8.1 million by 2050

00:09:20.540 A lot of this goes all the way back to a 1965 law called the Hart Seller Act, which got rid of the mechanisms that we had in place to prioritize European migration and created a quota system that has resulted in allowing lots of people with terrible ideologies from third world countries to immigrate to the United States at higher rates than people from other countries who share our same civilizational

00:09:49.500 and moral values. Some of it is that. Some of it is the fact that I think to combat this fear of

00:09:59.740 Islamophobia after 9-11, America has felt the need to apologize or to prove themselves by saying,

00:10:06.600 no, we're not scared of Muslims. Just because Al-Qaeda killed over 2,000 people in the United

00:10:12.860 States, let's welcome as many in as possible to prove that we're not bigoted. Of course,

00:10:17.880 that's civilizational suicide that is the most deadly form of toxic empathy. And we are guilty

00:10:25.060 of it. And when I say we, I don't mean you and I, because we're probably not, but our legislators

00:10:29.840 certainly are, and they've sold us out. And now those chickens are coming home to roost. The

00:10:35.620 chickens of toxic empathy will always come home to roost, and they will always hurt and harm the 0.93

00:10:41.080 most vulnerable first. So we've got more on this because some Republicans are waking up and they're

00:10:45.800 trying to do something about it. Let me pause, though, tell you about our first sponsor for the

00:10:49.840 day, and that is Fellowship Home Loans. So as we head into the spring, a lot of people are thinking

00:10:56.040 about refreshing your homes or refreshing your finances. Right now, there's something really

00:11:00.680 important happening. Mortgage rates have recently dropped. So when rates drop, monthly payments can

00:11:06.100 drop. That can create a lot of breathing room for you and your family. It can help you pay bills,

00:11:11.180 build margin, or simply steward your resources more wisely. Fellowship Home Loans is helping

00:11:16.180 many families refinance into those lower rates and reduce their mortgage payments. And if you're

00:11:21.580 thinking about buying a home this spring, lower rates increase your buying power. You may qualify

00:11:26.520 for more home than you did just a short time ago. So get pre-qualified right now. It is a super smart

00:11:33.260 step before the market gets competitive. Call my friends at Fellowship Home Loans. They work so

00:11:39.520 hard they've got so much integrity they do things not only by the book but by the book by the word

00:12:08.760 some republicans have tried to take action to combat the rise of islam in america 1.00

00:12:18.980 back in november of 2025 senator ted budd he's from north carolina uh he led colleagues in

00:12:25.600 introducing legislation to ban terrorist sympathizers from entering the u.s it's sad

00:12:30.760 that that takes any level of gumption or courage he stated that freedom of speech does not protect

00:12:36.020 calls to terrorism. Duh. In December 2025, U.S. Representatives Keith Self, he's from Texas,

00:12:43.620 and Chip Roy, who is now running for attorney general, officially launched attorney general

00:12:49.020 in the state of Texas, officially launched the Sharia Free America Caucus in the House of

00:12:54.300 Representatives in an effort to counter the rise of Sharia in the United States. After last week's 0.92

00:13:00.660 attacks, you had Congressman Riley Moore. He's from West Virginia. He said he will introduce a

00:13:05.120 bill to, quote, denaturalize and deport any naturalized citizen who commits or plots to

00:13:11.000 commit an act of terrorism, joins a terrorist organization, or otherwise aids and abets

00:13:16.160 terrorism against the American people. Again, the fact that that would be controversial

00:13:20.300 for anyone is insane. Republicans took to X to call out these Islamic terror attacks.

00:13:27.860 And I know a lot of people are like, oh, we don't want these congressmen just to say

00:13:31.320 something they need to do something well i will say some of these congressmen are trying to do

00:13:35.720 something they're trying to put legislation forward but also what our leaders say really

00:13:41.300 does matter because it can shape culture and it does something called moving the overton window

00:13:46.840 toward what is more acceptable and the fact that we have congress people who are now willing to say

00:13:54.580 something like what chip roy said muslim immigrant violence naturalized or not is preventable

00:14:00.960 until Democrats and Republicans find the courage to say no to the mass migration of Islamists, 0.91

00:14:07.260 our country will be plagued with more tragedies. It's stunning. It shouldn't be. It shouldn't

00:14:12.900 require courage. It shouldn't only be a handful of Republican Congress people who are willing to

00:14:18.320 say this. But it does. It does. It does take courage. It does take someone standing up and

00:14:24.420 saying, you know what, I'm going to represent the concerns of my constituents, which these

00:14:29.460 Republicans are and say that we not only have an illegal immigration problem, but we have a legal

00:14:36.420 migration problem. OK, we got to do something about it. Andy Ogles, he is from the state of 1.00

00:14:42.940 Tennessee, a congressman. He wrote this is I mean, this is very pointed. He said Muslims don't belong

00:14:50.180 in American society. Pluralism is a lie. Now, you might agree with that or you might disagree with 0.99

00:14:57.480 that you might think that is too harsh but the fact that we have a sitting congressman who is

00:15:03.060 willing to say look you know what charlie kirk did that islam and western civilization they don't go 0.99

00:15:10.640 together they don't coincide and someone who has been taught death to christians death to jews 0.58

00:15:17.020 death to america which i'm not saying every individual muslim has but cultures certainly 0.99

00:15:21.960 in the Middle East do teach that pervasively, that it's going to be really hard to mesh that in

00:15:30.560 with American culture. That is a legitimate sentiment. Again, whether you agree with his

00:15:37.420 wording or not, Andy Ogles is leading a new bill that would shift the American immigration system

00:15:43.220 from a family-based focus, largely ending chain migration and prioritizing immigrants who serve

00:15:49.060 the national interest of the U.S.

00:15:50.760 That goes back to that Hart-Celler Act

00:15:52.460 that I told you about in 1965

00:15:54.180 that created that chain migration,

00:15:56.940 that if you have one family member

00:15:58.540 over in the United States,

00:16:00.140 no matter where you're from,

00:16:01.280 no matter what you could add to American society,

00:16:04.900 no matter how much productivity you offer,

00:16:07.300 you can come to the United States

00:16:09.400 over and above someone

00:16:11.480 who may not have any family members here,

00:16:15.320 but who would be a wonderful,

00:16:16.800 contributing patriotic member of society. And so it just prioritized all the wrong kinds of

00:16:22.660 immigration. And that's why we have the problems that we do. His legislation would also eliminate 0.99

00:16:27.520 the diversity visa lottery again, going back to that Hart Seller Act in 1965. That's that annual 1.00

00:16:33.620 quota allowing for 55,000 immigrant visas for people from countries with otherwise low migration

00:16:39.480 rates to the U.S. So if Ogles' bill passes, which let's just be honest, it's going to be very,

00:16:46.280 very difficult for it to pass, but it would require new immigrants to pass a good character 1.00

00:16:51.940 requirement, disbarring anyone who has a gang affiliation, prior arrest records for domestic

00:16:58.380 violence, or driving under the influence, even without convictions, confirmed misuse of public

00:17:04.460 benefits. And the bill would also require applicants to undergo enhanced background checks,

00:17:09.800 including social media review and in-person interviews. To me, that sounds like common

00:17:16.240 sense. I don't see how anyone can say, no, we don't want more scrutiny when it comes to who we

00:17:23.060 allow in our country. I would need to hear the moral and logical justification for opposing 0.93

00:17:28.880 something like that. Then you've got Tommy Tuberville. He's a congressman from Alabama.

00:17:33.820 He posted a picture of 9-11 and Zoran Mamdani side by side with the caption,

00:17:39.780 the enemy is within the gates.

00:17:42.980 And he is getting called out for this.

00:17:45.160 But it actually is very stunning that how many years are we?

00:17:49.580 We're almost 25 years.

00:17:51.460 Can't believe it's been 25 years this year in September that we will have endured

00:17:57.420 the deadliest attack on U.S. soil by radical Muslims, by Al-Qaeda.

00:18:02.600 and now we not only have a muslim mayor but one who i believe has sympathized uh with muslim 0.98

00:18:10.420 terrorists at least muslim terrorist sympathizers um and is really an apologist for islamism and 0.91

00:18:18.260 of course has a public facing wife who has liked posts that are glorifying what happened on october 0.96

00:18:25.760 7th in israel when men women and children were raped and tortured and kidnapped and held hostage

00:18:30.740 and murdered en masse. And so that's who we have in the mayoral office in New York City just 25

00:18:37.980 years after we suffered that attack under Al-Qaeda. Am I saying we should judge every single 0.94

00:18:43.900 Muslim by what happened on 9-11? No, I don't believe that. I don't believe in collective 1.00

00:18:50.600 burden of guilt of every single person that looks the same, that thinks the same, whatever,

00:18:56.540 or that has the same name or background.

00:19:00.240 But I do believe that we can look at the ideology of Islam

00:19:04.440 and what it has produced around the world

00:19:06.880 and ask ourselves, is this an advancement

00:19:10.360 of the principles of Western civilization,

00:19:13.580 of the foundation of what America is,

00:19:16.560 or is it an impediment?

00:19:18.640 In general, are they an impediment to peace

00:19:21.740 or do they precipitate peace?

00:19:23.780 And I think the answer to that is very clear

00:19:25.800 considering that around 65,000 terrorist attacks of the last several years have come from Muslims.

00:19:33.500 And about 50 have come from people or groups that claim to be Christian.

00:19:38.220 It might even be 25, and I believe it's around 50 to 100 from individuals and groups that claim to be Jewish.

00:19:45.660 That's all around the world for several years, 65,000 from those who profess to be Muslims.

00:19:52.900 Now, Speaker Mike Johnson has a response to congressman's comments on Islam.

00:19:57.880 I've spoken to those members and all members, as I always do, about our tone and our message and what we say.

00:20:05.020 There's a look, there's a lot of energy in the country and a lot of popular sentiment that the demand to impose Sharia law in America is a serious problem.

00:20:15.140 That's what animates this. And that's that's the you know, the language that people use.

00:20:20.780 it's a different language than I would use, but I think that that's a serious issue.

00:20:25.700 Sharia law and the imposition of Sharia law is contrary to the U.S. Constitution.

00:20:29.260 When you seek to come to a country and not assimilate, but to impose Sharia law, Sharia 0.99

00:20:34.700 law is in conflict with the U.S. Constitution.

00:20:37.000 That is the conflict that people are talking about.

00:20:39.320 It is not about people as Muslims. 0.88

00:20:42.060 It's about those who seek to impose a different belief system that is in direct conflict with

00:20:48.780 the Constitution.

00:20:49.780 where I think that comes from. Okay, I actually like that response by Mike Johnson. I wasn't

00:20:56.160 sure how I was going to feel about it, because a lot of times you get Republicans in these positions

00:21:00.300 and they start finger wagging other Republicans and say, Oh, we shouldn't say that we love,

00:21:05.540 you know, we want everyone of every single background to come here and start talking

00:21:09.060 about how awesome immigration is and how we're a melting pot mosaic, whatever. And he didn't do

00:21:14.400 that. He actually was defending his people. He was defending Republicans. I don't think he gets

00:21:19.580 the problem exactly right there because it's not really about sharia only um i don't even know if

00:21:26.840 it's about sharia primarily it's about what the ideology teaches as far as conquest and violence 0.98

00:21:31.760 and the treatment of women and children and all of those things and how incongruent that is

00:21:35.860 with the american way of life and uh with the declaration of independence with what the

00:21:43.300 founders believed and what we should still believe um just to put a fine point on this

00:21:48.820 According to the Global Terrorism Index, Islamist groups consistently account for the largest share of religiously motivated terrorism.

00:21:58.620 Over 95 percent of tracked religious incidents globally are Islamist.

00:22:03.240 Over 95 percent deaths are disproportionately higher.

00:22:06.800 Islamist groups caused over 80 percent of attributed terrorist deaths in 2024 per GTI analysis.

00:22:14.620 um islamist terrorism unfortunately is on the rise worldwide there were only 6 817 deaths from

00:22:22.960 islamic terrorism from 1979 to 2000 that number rose to almost 40 000 from 2001 to 2012 then to

00:22:31.640 204 almost 205 000 from 2013 to 2024 and so unfortunately this is an increasing trend this

00:22:42.340 is something that is not only continuing to happen, but is getting worse and worse. And for

00:22:48.200 people to say, I've saw, you know, I've seen a lot of people commenting on this. So it's because of

00:22:52.960 what we did in Iran. It's because America and how they're treating these Muslim majority 0.96

00:22:57.220 countries. And that's just not correct. Far before America even existed, these kinds of conflicts

00:23:05.900 were happening. And so to say that it's because of recent American foreign policy is again,

00:23:11.900 just to misunderstand the quran is to misunderstand the ideology and the history of islam since its

00:23:20.080 inception i've got more to say about this in just a second let me pause and tell you about our next

00:23:26.640 sponsor for the day it's seven weeks coffee so thankful for this christian coffee company this

00:23:31.580 pro-life coffee company they allow their coffee to serve a higher purpose at seven weeks that baby

00:23:37.060 inside the womb is the size of a little coffee bean yet he or she is fully made in god's image 0.69

00:23:43.100 and so they matter and that's why seven weeks donates 10 of every sale to pregnancy centers

00:23:49.200 across the country they have donated well over a million dollars to these pregnancy centers this

00:23:54.940 is translated into saving thousands of lives and we love seven weeks in our home we love how it

00:24:00.720 tastes we love the super high quality how clean the coffee is we just got a new shipment in that

00:24:06.560 I'm super excited about. So it's just a win all around. Plus, when you subscribe, you save 15%

00:24:12.460 on your coffee. Plus with my code Allie, you save an extra 10%. So go to sevenweekscoffee.com, code

00:24:18.320 Allie. But if you point all of this out, all of these statistics, this reality that is just

00:24:28.440 obviously flying in our faces, you could get called Islamophobic. There's even this just

00:24:34.000 weird trend on the right that I've seen of sympathizing with Islam. And it's not just 1.00

00:24:39.600 about loving your individual Muslim neighbors, which, by the way, we should all be doing.

00:24:44.640 They are people made in the image of God, just as valuable as you or I. The gospel is available to

00:24:49.880 them. We should want that for them. We should want good things for them. We have to be able to hold

00:24:54.780 those two things, as I'll talk about a little bit more in a second, at the same time. But this weird

00:25:00.500 trend of trying to say that, well, Islam is better than Judaism because Islam regards Jesus as a

00:25:08.360 prophet. And according to the Talmud, Jesus is boiling and excrement. I've seen things like that. 0.99

00:25:14.900 Well, first of all, neither Islam nor Judaism get Jesus right. Okay. So that both leads to the same 1.00

00:25:21.560 place. Neither of them see Jesus as who he is, who is God. So I really don't care whether someone

00:25:28.080 sees Jesus as a political activist, whether someone sees Jesus as this rebellious guy who's

00:25:33.940 now in hell, or whether someone sees Jesus as a prophet. If you don't see Jesus as who he is,

00:25:39.420 who is God, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, then you get it wrong. You get it equally wrong. And

00:25:45.540 so I don't really care whether or not a religion honors Jesus if they are still teaching something 0.70

00:25:52.200 that is untrue and damning about who Jesus is. And I'm not really interested in comparing

00:25:58.980 these religions, and it's really not a competition. It's not a competition. I have

00:26:06.440 all of these huge fundamental disagreements with Judaism. But thank you to Judaism for not 0.98

00:26:13.240 inspiring thousands and thousands of terrorists that are killing Americans and that are oppressing

00:26:19.200 people worldwide. So I don't think that you want to get into a competition about like which one is

00:26:25.240 worse theologically and which is producing a worse thing. Islam obviously takes the cake when it 1.00

00:26:32.760 comes to sowing destruction and violence and marginalization and oppression every single 0.98

00:26:40.240 place that it is popularized, not just in the Middle East, but thanks to mass migration

00:26:44.760 and Europe and now in the United States as well. It's just not comparable when it comes to the

00:26:51.300 effect of a particular ideology. And I feel that some people on the right have gotten this really

00:26:57.880 strange brain worm that has made them think that if they're nice about Islam, then the terrorism

00:27:04.440 won't come for you. And it's just not true. We have a short period of time, I think, in the United

00:27:10.480 States to be able to say what is true and to address this head on. Here's the truth,

00:27:16.540 and we should just all say it. This is something that Charlie used to say, and I think we need to

00:27:20.960 repeat it because it's true. It's as true as two plus two equals four. Islam as an ideology is 0.97

00:27:26.860 incompatible with Western civilization because it is a political ideology that is carried out

00:27:33.520 through conquest. If you read Raymond Ibrahim's The Sword in the Scimitar, we've had him on before,

00:27:38.440 ago, listen to that interview, to learn about the long history of conflict between Muslims

00:27:43.080 and Christians, you will see that the entire history of Islam has been one of war, violence, 1.00

00:27:49.080 oppression, conquest, Islam as an ideology, okay? 0.98

00:27:53.540 Not even talking about every single individual person that you know, but as an ideology rejects

00:27:58.980 the idea of the Imago Dei, the belief that both Jews and Christians share that all people

00:28:03.600 are made in God's image and are therefore of equal worth.

00:28:06.640 This belief is the basis of the human rights afforded to us in Western civilization and

00:28:12.060 specifically in the United States, the founding documents of which state primarily that we

00:28:17.460 were made by a creator who has given us rights that are unalienable simply because we were

00:28:22.680 created by him.

00:28:24.100 It is this belief partnered with the Christian belief of the gospel, which preaches a radically

00:28:28.880 equalizing message of everyone is equally dead in sin and can be equally made alive

00:28:34.060 in jesus by grace through faith that radically changed how the world saw and treated people

00:28:38.720 that over time elevated children women the poor the sick the slave the elderly as fully human 0.58

00:28:46.200 and entitled to dignity it is this worldview that abolished slavery that set up the best system of

00:28:52.100 justice and liberty the world has ever seen and we are giving it up to an ideology that inherently

00:28:57.780 disbelieves and resents that there is a reason still today that slavery and the oppression of

00:29:03.220 women and the sexualization of children thrives in most of the Islamic world. It's not because 1.00

00:29:08.880 of poverty. It's not because of a lack of technology. I mean, their natural resources

00:29:13.140 abound. It is because of ideology. It is because what we believe informs who we are and what we do.

00:29:19.100 And it is because of this ideology that everywhere there is a high volume of Muslim migrants, 0.66

00:29:24.440 there is increased violence, sexual violence, religious persecution. That's not arguable. 0.95

00:29:30.220 Again, this does not mean that all of our Muslim neighbors are violent.

00:29:33.800 Not at all.

00:29:34.360 The vast majority of Muslims that we meet will not be violent.

00:29:37.580 Many of them will be kind.

00:29:39.260 And we can befriend them.

00:29:40.680 We can love them.

00:29:41.720 We've talked about that several times on this show.

00:29:43.680 We can share the gospel with them, see the image of God in them that is just as much

00:29:48.520 in them as it is in us and our children, and be at the same time completely clear-eyed

00:29:55.300 about the contradiction between the American way of life and the ideology of political Islam.

00:30:01.160 In fact, we must do that. I think we are obligated to do that. Many forget that one of the first

00:30:08.280 wars engaged by the United States was the first Barbary War against the Islamic Tripoli over

00:30:13.580 piracy against American merchant ships. And we act like this conflict is just because, again,

00:30:20.260 of modern American geopolitics, it's not true. There's a long history there. And right now,

00:30:26.080 Islam is dominating the West through migration and eventual domination. And our leaders, 1.00

00:30:31.940 many of them are facilitating it. Raymond Ibrahim argues that it was based on agape

00:30:36.840 love, unconditional love, that our Christian forefathers fought against Islamic conquest

00:30:41.920 in ages past, literally laying down their lives for the safety of their women, their children,

00:30:47.180 and the civilization that God had given them.

00:30:49.640 Remember, we've talked about this a lot.

00:30:51.240 Jeremiah 29, 7, it urges the Hebrews in exile 0.79

00:30:54.760 to seek the welfare of the city

00:30:56.640 in which they'd been placed.

00:30:57.920 We Christians in exile are called to do the same.

00:31:01.480 And I think part of that is speaking courageously

00:31:04.800 about the ideas, about the people,

00:31:07.840 about the ideologies that is going to lead

00:31:10.120 to a more peaceful and stable nation

00:31:13.020 for our children and our children's children.

00:31:16.180 holding the reality of the Imago Dei in every person, the need for the gospel in every single

00:31:22.780 person, and also the collective good of the country in which God has placed us. Like Christians,

00:31:28.820 I think, have to be clear and courageous and loving and merciful and just and orderly all

00:31:35.400 at the same time. That is a tension that most people can't walk, but I think God in His Word,

00:31:40.480 as both love and justice equips us to do that.

00:31:44.340 I think both the Old and the New Testament

00:31:46.240 give us principles that we can look to

00:31:49.180 to walk in that tension.

00:31:51.940 And so that's what I strive to do.

00:31:54.020 We all do it imperfectly.

00:31:55.900 Pray for our leaders, for them to have that courage

00:31:58.400 and that gumption and that clarity and that wisdom

00:32:01.820 and that strength to show the agape love

00:32:04.980 to protect the people that God has entrusted to them

00:32:08.020 while also being merciful and loving and gracious where they are called to do so.

00:32:14.840 The future of our country literally depends on it.

00:32:17.620 All right, now we're going to move into a domestic issue

00:32:21.040 because as we're dealing with the green part of this alliance,

00:32:26.840 we've got the red part of the red-green alliance,

00:32:29.700 we've got the Islamists over here, and we've got the Marxists over here. 0.73

00:32:34.020 and their efforts are different than the islamists but the result is still the destruction of western 1.00

00:32:42.700 civilization in the united states and one way that is done is through the sexualization and 1.00

00:32:48.180 the degradation of children and unfortunately this time that is being promoted through a book

00:32:53.580 that is being endorsed by good morning america so we've got my good friend ann say uh she is

00:33:00.460 coming on the show and she is going to be talking about this. This is an issue that she cares about

00:33:04.660 a lot because she runs an account that shows you the good and edifying books that you and your

00:33:10.000 children should be reading. So she's got the low down on all of that in just a second. Let me pause

00:33:14.680 tell you about our next sponsor first and that is range leather. So you've probably noticed that

00:33:19.820 most products that you buy even expensive products are just not made well. They scuff up, they break,

00:33:26.540 They don't last, even though you might have paid a pretty penny for it, or maybe it has a really

00:33:32.440 nice brand on it, but you find out it's just made in the same factory in China that the cheap Amazon

00:33:37.760 version was made in. You don't want that. If you're going to invest in a product, you want to

00:33:42.700 make sure that it lasts. And that's what you're going to get with range leather. All of their

00:33:47.280 leather products, their bags, their jewelry, their belts, their hats are made in America by hand in

00:33:53.380 Laramie, Wyoming. That's where Kyle and Bailey live. I have a ton of range leather. I love their

00:33:59.920 bag. I take it with me everywhere. The big tote bag, I've got a couple of them, but this is my

00:34:04.800 new favorite. I travel with it. It's so easy to clean. It's so durable. I get compliments on it

00:34:09.460 all the time. So very fashionable and cute, but really, really high quality, good stuff. And so

00:34:15.280 if you want leather goods that last, go to rangeleather.com slash Allie. And when you use

00:34:21.440 my link, you will save 10% off all Range Leather products. Go to rangeleather.com slash Allie.

00:34:32.620 And thanks so much for joining the show again. Okay, just as a refresher for some people,

00:34:37.520 tell us who you are and what you do. Yeah, so I'm the founder of Library for Kiddos.

00:34:44.280 My background is in public libraries.

00:34:47.000 And what I do is I read, review, and recommend books that align with more conservative and Christian values for middle grade and teens.

00:34:58.800 And I help parents navigate their local libraries.

00:35:02.360 Yeah.

00:35:02.580 And it's not only explicitly Christian books that you're recommending, but you're going through these books and making sure there aren't any simple, subversive themes,

00:35:11.740 glorifying things that are like wicked and evil. So if someone's following you, it's not only that

00:35:17.400 you're going to be recommending C.S. Lewis, you're just going to make sure that what kids are reading

00:35:21.740 aren't anti-biblical. Yes. Yeah. I love that. And you were really shocked that Good Morning America

00:35:29.240 recommended this book by an author named Melissa De La Cruz. She's a number one New York Times

00:35:35.420 bestselling author. So that goes to show her young adult fiction is very popular. She wrote a book

00:35:41.720 called Sibylline, Risk It All for Magic, Ruin It All for Love. And it was recommended by Good

00:35:49.400 Morning America. Here's Sot 6. Now with number one New York Times bestselling author, Melissa

00:35:54.440 De La Cruz, who's got her readers spellbound thanks to her latest novel and our GMA Young

00:35:59.480 Adult Book Club pick for February, Sibylline. Okay, tell me about Sibylline. Why is this troubling?

00:36:06.260 hmm well on a lot of fronts it's described as a dark academia which is a very popular kind of

00:36:15.260 genre right now it's marketed to initially it was marketed to 12 to 17 year olds and it's very

00:36:23.300 problematic because not only does it have magic that dives into the occult like there's um seances

00:36:32.400 there's like a possession of people necromancy like the stuff deuteronomy 18 warns against

00:36:40.020 yeah which is in and of itself not great especially for that age group but also on page 284

00:36:48.620 there is a very graphic scene of a threesome and it's done on the friend who they think is dead

00:37:01.060 so not only a threesome but necrophilia like yeah i just and and i did i read it for you so you

00:37:12.460 don't have to it is horrendous it's it's very very troubling yeah so this is a character in

00:37:21.260 the book named atticus and they believe he's dead you can see that on page 281 it says he's not

00:37:26.760 breathing he's not moving he's dead Atticus is dead and I'm just warning the people who are

00:37:32.160 listening to this and watching this like if you've got kids in the car and you don't want them to

00:37:36.420 hear depictions of this but I just want to be clear about what is actually being depicted it's

00:37:40.780 not some closed door thing that's happening not that that would be okay but this author depicts 0.98

00:37:46.540 this dead person as being anally raped orally raped and there's also like vaginal sex 1.00

00:37:56.360 I don't even know whether to call it sex or rape and ejaculation. 0.99

00:37:59.560 OK, so that is the kind of necrophilia, sexual assault that is being depicted, not only depicted, but glorified to 11 to 17 year olds. 0.96

00:38:11.460 That is the kind of age age bracket that this book is targeting.

00:38:16.460 Right. Yes.

00:38:18.860 What a lot of people don't understand about young adult is that over half of the people reading young adult are actual adults.

00:38:29.320 We're talking 18 and on.

00:38:32.880 Mainly, I think the major age range that reads young adult is like 28 and over.

00:38:41.880 So publishers know this, right?

00:38:43.960 There is a study done in 2024 by HarperCollins in the UK, 74% of young adult is being consumed by actual adults and not young adults, right?

00:38:57.260 Not the teen audience that the protagonists are usually the age of, right?

00:39:05.880 And so to them, it's kind of like it's a progression that makes sense, right?

00:39:12.020 um the issue is of course that melissa de la cruz is known for her middle grade novels as well

00:39:19.920 so my fear is that parents who are not aware um and who have said well we've we've read her

00:39:27.760 descendants series or you know her alex and eliza series which is about alexander hamilton and his

00:39:34.920 wife you know we're we're just gonna it's it's okay to read this book and it's not it's just not

00:39:40.940 And I and I really warn I warn parents against young adults. It's why I read so much and and make lists for teens because I want them to want parents to be able to give to their kids books that are fun to read and appropriate.

00:40:00.880 it right you know there's this whole other trend that we could talk about not another trend the

00:40:06.880 trend that you're talking about but it extends to other areas too of adultifying um content

00:40:14.600 that is supposed to be for children but also kind of like infantilizing adults i think about the

00:40:21.680 phenomenon of the disney adult and how disney parks have started to cater to the adults without

00:40:28.480 children that are not just oh i'm just gonna go because i'm in orlando but are really obsessive

00:40:34.760 with disney that disney in a lot of ways has become more mature you see this we talk about

00:40:39.900 from time to time the like adult doll community that has these conferences with dolls and so

00:40:46.260 it's this weird thing going on where industries that are supposed to be for children are catering

00:40:51.640 to adults. And so kids have access to more mature and sometimes sexually explicit content or items

00:40:59.260 or whatever it is. But at the same time, adults are becoming more like children and the interest

00:41:08.180 that they have in the activities and the books that they engage in. There's a very disturbing

00:41:13.060 convergence there because the idea of an adult reading a book about teenagers, I assume this is

00:41:20.800 probably about teenagers engaging in rape I mean you just you have to be a very disturbed and I

00:41:28.980 think dangerous person to find that interesting and the fact that the book industry the publishing

00:41:36.760 industry is just catering to that is very troubling to me yeah yeah it is it is and

00:41:43.320 it's not anything new I mean I've been reading YA like YA is considered a genre in and of

00:41:50.520 itself and so I've been reading YA really since like 2013 when I started in libraries

00:41:57.340 and I've seen this progression so and honestly like I wasn't surprised when I heard about this

00:42:04.900 story I was just like well yeah of course they're gonna do that everyone should be outraged and

00:42:11.280 everyone should be disturbed yeah but it's the natural progression that's been going on since

00:42:18.180 i mean honestly since 2010 so 2010 um is really when this kind of crossover happened like i'm

00:42:27.340 sure you probably can guess like the hunger games the twilight series all of that was ya

00:42:34.500 and although it's not like great it's still pretty appropriate for the core audience like 13 to 17

00:42:42.620 although i don't recommend it for 13 year olds don't don't that's not what i'm saying but the

00:42:47.600 point is adults found that really appealing. And so in the 2010s is when it really, really started

00:42:55.760 to explode as a genre. And then that progression has just gradually gotten worse. Do you think

00:43:03.020 Twilight had something to do with that? Oh, yeah, for sure. For sure. Because it was written for

00:43:09.280 teens, but adults loved it. They thought it was great. Like it had its own fan club, right? It's

00:43:16.500 own fan fiction all it just exploded yeah so twilight and hunger games is where it really

00:43:22.440 started to publishers were like there's something here right there's this is a money maker this age

00:43:29.680 group is a money maker if we make it appeal to adults and so that's really really when it started

00:43:35.500 to get bad yeah quick pause to tell you about my very good friends at alliance defending freedom

00:43:46.420 They are protecting our First Amendment rights.

00:43:49.660 They are protecting our religious freedoms, our freedom of speech.

00:43:53.280 They are protecting the rights of girls and women to compete fairly against other girls and women.

00:43:58.980 They are fighting for clients like our Share the Arrows Award recipient from last year, Jessica Bates, a Christian mom who wanted to foster and adopt and was stopped by the state of Oregon because she wouldn't affirm the potential gender identity of an orphan that she was taking into her home.

00:44:16.420 She fought for her, or they fought for her.

00:44:18.920 They continue to fight for moms and dads and Christians like this across the country,

00:44:24.400 standing up for our rights to be Christian and to live that out.

00:44:28.140 They've made it all the way to the Supreme Court defending those freedoms,

00:44:30.860 and they need your support to keep fighting on the front lines.

00:44:54.920 Okay, tell us about the blowback to this

00:44:57.720 because you obviously have been talking about it,

00:45:00.660 but I've seen this talked about in other circles as well.

00:45:03.880 Other outlets have covered this.

00:45:05.820 It's just that people are aghast not only that this exists,

00:45:09.060 but also that Good Morning America

00:45:12.100 put their stamp of approval on it that is one of the most shocking parts of this story so what

00:45:18.080 has been the reaction to that yeah it's it's not been good there are publishers always send out

00:45:24.800 arcs so advanced reader copies to people who have um who are influencers on instagram who have a

00:45:31.640 large following on goodreads and there there was a ton of blowback before this was even published

00:45:39.140 people who read the arcs said contacted the publishers and said this is not gonna fly this

00:45:45.440 is gonna have huge backlash you need to do something at least at the very least of the age

00:45:50.580 right like 17 or older right um and the publishers just didn't listen and you didn't see it in that

00:45:59.400 clip but one of the hosts said i have a 13 year old and i can't wait for her to read this

00:46:05.100 i don't know if she has read it herself but the comments were scathing they're like don't give

00:46:10.440 this to your 13 year old of course i mean people who people who are not even believers that i read

00:46:16.700 i read a ton of reviews on goodreads which it's tanking on goodreads good which is i'm sorry good

00:46:23.220 reads is like the amazon database so you can keep track of what you read and people go in and read

00:46:28.500 reviews on goodreads you know keep track of things um kind of like a database and the average five

00:46:37.200 like is five stars the average review star review is one or a two yeah and so and and this and when

00:46:45.840 i checked i didn't check it right before i came on but i checked it the other day you can write

00:46:50.320 a review on goodreads for a while you couldn't it was it there was so much blowback and so many

00:46:57.440 people wanted to write a review that they like kind of shut it down um and also melissa de la

00:47:03.980 cruz has made her instagram private wow um the publishers have now um on their on their age

00:47:13.580 range they said 17 and up but that was that was after it was published that was after all these

00:47:20.600 libraries have their copy with the stamp of approval from good good morning america um

00:47:27.700 so the the the pushback has been extensive it's been very extensive you know these accidents when

00:47:36.140 it comes to the mainstream media in a variety of ways but certainly when it comes to the

00:47:41.280 endorsement of particular books and content for children only seems to ever skew one direction

00:47:47.440 like I've never seen a controversy where it's like whoops good morning America accidentally

00:47:53.520 endorsed this book that shares the gospel in it like oh they didn't know that it had biblical

00:47:58.720 themes it's always like oh my gosh we endorse this book that has necrophilia in it the rape of a dead

00:48:06.500 teenager whoops it's just it's like it reminds me of that Balenciaga scandal that I talked about a

00:48:14.020 few years ago where it was really weird they had these bears this is the convergence that we were

00:48:19.780 just talking about like it had these toys but that were dressed up in sexual bdsm gear and the papers

00:48:26.220 that were askew on the desk happened to be the supreme court case text of a case about

00:48:34.780 sexual abuse of children material okay and so they were like oh whoops we didn't even see i'm like

00:48:42.280 oh, that's so weird that it just happened to be that and it wasn't accidentally the pages of a

00:48:48.980 Bible. It just seems like the mistakes always go one direction, which just feels like less of a

00:48:56.640 mistake and more deliberate. But I am encouraged that there's been so much blowback. I am too.

00:49:04.020 And it's not just Christians. It's not just conservatives. It's really, if you go and you

00:49:11.640 read some of the reviews on goodreads you know there's this mom who says i'm not a prude i'm not

00:49:17.460 a prude my 14 year old and i talk about sex all the time i don't mind this that whatever it's like 0.59

00:49:23.880 but this does not belong in young adult literature yeah and and review and review after review of of

00:49:31.680 people who are just like i you know i don't have a problem if this was in an adult book but this is

00:49:37.000 not for young adults. This is not for teens. So I was encouraged by that as well. Okay. Two

00:49:43.720 questions for you. Parents are like, okay, what do I do? Number one, if they found a book like

00:49:48.640 this in their local library that's in the teen section or is being targeted particularly towards

00:49:54.580 kids, is there anything that you can do as a member of a library? Yes, yes, yes, yes. But let

00:50:01.940 me first say, don't hide that book. I know it's really tempting to hide that book, but it actually

00:50:07.940 works against you when you do that in a library. If you want to do it in a bookstore or in a general

00:50:13.100 store, fine, go ahead. That's not, libraries work differently. So what you do is you find out

00:50:21.560 how your library reviews the source, like their collection. I haven't been able to do this yet

00:50:29.220 with this book um the one that i have is from my local library um but what you do is you go in and

00:50:35.240 you show them the title and you say i would like this to be put under review what's what's the

00:50:40.200 process usually it's paperwork you can you know some some libraries they have it online some they

00:50:46.860 have it on a piece of paper that you fill out and you hand back to the librarian um do it like

00:50:53.860 graciously you know how you always say raise a respectful ruckus like respectful is really key

00:51:00.980 here because um most of the people who work in libraries are liberal and they have a view of

00:51:08.300 people with conservative values that they are they're fighters that they're just going to come

00:51:13.600 in and disrupt um there are people who don't even use the library and they just want to they just

00:51:19.040 want to mess everything up. So when you go in and you respectfully say, listen, I read this book on

00:51:27.400 page 284. There is a graphic depiction of nephrophilia, of rape, and a threesome. And I 0.75

00:51:37.520 ask that it be removed from the teen section and put in the adult section, if it can't be removed

00:51:43.940 from the library at all. Most of the time items are not removed from the library unless they are

00:51:50.920 not checked out for, you know, like a year. And so I would encourage anyone who sees this book

00:51:58.340 at their library to go through that process because that will gain the respect of the

00:52:05.400 librarians. They're like, oh wow, they, you know, they, they had a problem with this book and they

00:52:09.600 didn't come in with pitchforks. They were very kind and respectful and went through the process

00:52:16.940 that the library has in place for moments like this. Okay, that's super helpful advice. Thank

00:52:21.940 you for that. And if people want to know the positive recommendations that you give,

00:52:27.980 how can they do that? Sure. You can find me on Instagram at library underscore four,

00:52:35.760 like the number four, underscore kiddos. And then you can also see what I have available

00:52:42.140 at libraryforkiddos.com. Awesome. Thank you so much, Anne. I really appreciate it.

00:52:47.840 Sure. All right. Before we get to our dinosaurs, let me tell you about our next sponsor,

00:52:56.700 and that is EveryLife. I love EveryLife. In our home, we use their diapers, their pull-ups,

00:53:56.480 everylife.com code Allie10. Okay, y'all, we have a new documentary, a documentary miniseries on

00:54:11.260 dinosaurs, which I think is so funny to call it a documentary as if we are documenting

00:54:16.240 the dinosaurs that lived so many millennia ago. Now, the reason I'm talking about this,

00:54:22.960 if you're new here. And I realize in my new setup, we don't have our dino mascots. But maybe

00:54:28.120 you've noticed that I've got little dinosaur ceramic little guys around my set. The reason

00:54:34.700 for that is because many moons ago, Bree and I did an episode about conspiracy theories that we

00:54:40.540 find interesting or parts of the conspiracy theories that we find compelling. And mine was

00:54:46.640 that I don't know about dinosaurs. Y'all, I have literally gotten handwritten letters from people

00:54:52.660 across the country shipped to me somehow or someone who knows me to tell me how disgusting

00:55:00.540 and dangerous and wrong it is that I would dare question paleontology. I wouldn't be surprised if

00:55:08.040 it was Ross from Friends who sent me this letter. That's how passionate it was. And honestly, it has

00:55:14.500 made me more resolved in my skepticism. It is not that I don't think that giant animals existed

00:55:21.540 a long time ago. It is just that I don't think we know what they looked like and that we don't know

00:55:29.060 what they sounded like. I know we've got fossils and different things like that. We actually don't

00:55:33.180 have any complete fossil of a T-Rex, for example. We're just kind of going a little bit on deductive

00:55:40.720 reasoning and vibes. We definitely don't know that they had scales. We definitely don't know

00:55:45.920 what a pterodactyl sounded like, and we're all just supposed to believe it because the science,

00:55:50.680 All right. So I just want to go through some of these clips. Give us a reaction. Let's put on our critical thinking caps and decide if we think these creatures existed 170 million years ago.

00:56:04.760 Saw it too.

00:56:34.760 than real. That was an Easter egg right there from Morgan Freeman that they seem more imagined

00:56:42.860 than real because they are. I don't think we have this in the document. And so we'll have to find

00:56:48.580 these and put these up. We've put these up before. I want to show you these skeletons of these

00:56:55.360 different animals. Okay. I want to show you a skeleton of an owl, the skeleton of a hippopotamus.

00:57:04.760 the skeleton of a baboon, the skeleton of a chicken.

00:57:10.900 Now, I could have lied to you and I could have told you this is a triceratops, or I could have

00:57:19.840 told you this is any kind of tops in any kind of sort. I could have told you this is a liposaurus

00:57:26.300 rex. And you probably would have believed me. You would say, wow, if I just put scales on that thing

00:57:32.000 and I put some scary nostrils and some tiny little arms, you probably would have been like, 0.99

00:57:37.740 Allie, wow, you're such an incredible paleontologist. How did you know? But then I

00:57:43.740 would reveal to you, no, that's just a chicken. That's just a hippo dog. That is not a dinosaur.

00:57:51.400 But we're all just supposed to believe, based on the bones, that this is what a daddy long neck,

00:57:58.500 that's the official name, looked like.

00:58:01.480 Here's thought three.

00:58:06.480 Anky Ornis. 0.90

00:58:09.920 Yes, he looks a bit like a chicken.

00:58:14.420 And he is about the size of one.

00:58:18.640 But he's nevertheless a dinosaur.

00:58:26.160 Looks like a chicken!

00:58:28.500 Ha! 0.89

00:58:29.380 Maybe because it is a chicken.

00:58:32.440 Maybe so.

00:58:33.180 There is no way that we knew that this guy had blue fuzz on him.

00:58:40.400 No way.

00:58:42.240 Okay, let's go with Ankylosaurus.

00:58:46.620 Never heard of this one before.

00:58:48.920 The Ankylosaurus they know from the bones had a passion for singing.

00:58:54.100 Sop 4.

00:58:54.540 This is the one place where he can truly be himself.

00:59:11.060 His passion is singing.

00:59:14.540 He even has special hollows in his snout that amplify his song, so it can be heard far and wide.

00:59:44.540 we don't know y'all we don't know this is a hobby for some people okay this is a fantasy they have

00:59:54.080 this is the paleontologist version of lord of the rings okay this is like these people they wanted

01:00:01.820 to they just they i don't know they enjoy jurassic park a little bit too much

01:00:07.920 they darwin'd a little too hard and they came up with this world and we're all supposed to trust

01:00:17.640 these people i saw someone on instagram say you'll believe in the ankylosaurus but you won't believe

01:00:24.520 in the resurrection of jesus christ our lord you won't believe that the god of all the universe

01:00:29.740 has the power to defeat death and rise from the grave three days after being crucified but you're

01:00:35.240 Like, that's what a pterodactyl looked like.

01:00:38.480 Come on now.

01:00:39.820 You have faith, atheist. 0.97

01:00:41.920 You do.

01:00:42.980 You might have more faith than me because you watch this documentary and you're like, this for sure happened.

01:00:48.780 I don't know.

01:00:49.980 Okay, the documentary implies that all species of birds derive their origins from dinosaurs.

01:00:56.920 All birds are dinosaurs.

01:00:58.780 Not all dinosaurs died.

01:01:01.860 Some were small enough to find shelter from the apocalypse, and survive even to this day.

01:01:20.180 The flying dinosaurs we now call the birds.

01:01:30.360 the clues to their past are hiding in plain sight.

01:01:46.800 Oh my gosh, that's so funny. So an owl is one of the examples of a living dinosaur. What did I

01:01:54.240 tell you? If you look at owl bones, it looks like what a dinosaur looked like. They're saying,

01:01:59.180 well, yeah, because owls evolved from dinosaurs. What if it was an owl all along? That's all I'm

01:02:05.220 saying. I don't care. Send me your letters. Do your angry videos. I've seen so many people,

01:02:11.480 people who identify as Christians make angry videos. Oh, I agreed with Allie, but this is 1.00

01:02:16.160 just too far. Okay. Okay. Morgan Freeman. Got it. I don't know. Just something about this just

01:02:24.520 makes me a little bit skeptical. Could God do it? Of course he could do it. He can do anything. But

01:02:31.560 first of all, I don't buy this age of the earth. I don't. And I don't believe in macro evolution.

01:02:40.260 And I think that a lot of these people just really like the fantastical idea of these creatures

01:02:47.880 existing. And I think that they were maybe just bigger versions of the animals that we have today.

01:02:53.340 that's my conclusion you heard it here maybe not first but perhaps most prominently that's my story

01:03:00.840 and I'm sticking to it all right that's all we've got time for today we will be back here on Friday

01:03:23.340 You
