Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 172

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Wednesday. I hope everyone has had a great week so far.

00:00:05.000 Today we are going to do a rundown of some important stories that have been circulating,

00:00:10.740 some important things that have happened in the political and cultural sphere. I usually like to

00:00:15.980 do really kind of big picture evergreen stuff that has to do with politics and the news generally,

00:00:21.780 but kind of like dive in and do an analysis of it from a biblical moral perspective. I think a lot

00:00:27.980 of times that's more meaningful and valuable to our lives and kind of helps shape our worldview,

00:00:33.200 but sometimes we just need to get through a lot of different stories and analyze them piecemeal.

00:00:38.080 So that's what we're going to do today. There's just so much craziness that is happening,

00:00:43.100 especially that has happened in this past week. Just some crazy things that have been said that

00:00:46.840 point to even crazier realities in our political sphere that I want to talk about. I would be

00:00:51.340 remiss not to highlight at least some of those things. So that's what we are going to do today.

00:00:56.020 We are going to dive in and analyze it as well as we go through some of these absurd quotes and

00:01:01.120 goings on, but I just kind of want to be able to get through as many as possible. I don't even know

00:01:05.340 if I'm going to get through all of the things that I want to say, but we will try. First,

00:01:09.240 we have to take a look at simultaneously my favorite and my least favorite moment from this

00:01:16.320 past week. It occurred at an AOC town hall. A woman who is very upset, very upset to put it mildly,

00:01:24.060 about climate change, got up and said this to AOC.

00:01:28.160 Climate crisis. We only have a few months left. I love that you support the green deal, but

00:01:34.520 it's not getting, you know, getting rid of fossil fuel. It's not going to solve the problem fast

00:01:39.440 enough. A Swedish professor saying, you know, we can eat dead people, but that's not fast enough.

00:01:45.100 So I think your next campaign slogan has to be this. We got to start eating babies.

00:01:50.500 We don't have enough time. There's too much CO2. All of you, you know, you're pollutant.

00:01:57.920 Too much CO2. We have to start now. Please. You are so great. I'm so happy that you're really

00:02:04.220 supporting the nuclear deal, but it's not enough. You know, even if we would bomb Russia,

00:02:09.380 we still have too many people, too much pollution. So we have to get rid of the babies. That's a big

00:02:16.800 problem. Just stopping having babies is not enough. We need to eat the babies. And this

00:02:22.360 is very serious. Please give a response.

00:02:24.320 Thank you. No, thank you. Thank you. We'll go ahead. Okay. No, we'll, we'll go ahead. It's

00:02:33.100 so, no, no, no. Yeah, no. Thank you. So I think, yeah, no. So one of the things that's very

00:02:44.080 important to us is that we need to treat the climate crisis with the urgency that it does

00:02:50.220 present. Um, luckily we have more than a few months. We do need to hit net zero in several

00:02:59.000 years. Um, but I think we all need to, to, to understand that there are a lot of solutions

00:03:06.300 that we have, um, and that we can pursue and that if we act in a positive way, there is space

00:03:12.640 for hope. There's, we are never beyond hope. Okay. So a few things. First, uh, this recommendation

00:03:19.180 to eat babies is found in a satirical work by Jonathan Swift called a modest proposal.

00:03:24.840 Uh, many people are saying that this woman was a plant. This wasn't real. She was put

00:03:28.660 there to say something ridiculous to see how far AOC would take this. If she would actually

00:03:33.500 agree with her, uh, how far she would go to defend her extreme stance on climate change

00:03:38.740 policy. Maybe so. Maybe this was a plant. If it's been confirmed that this young lady was

00:03:44.260 a plant, please let me know. I think that's just kind of something that people are assuming.

00:03:48.720 Uh, but how sad is it? Here's the thing. How sad is it that we don't actually know immediately?

00:03:54.820 I mean, my thought when I was first watching this video on Twitter was that this is a joke.

00:03:59.020 This isn't real. She kind of seems like a pretty bad actress trying to, uh, emulate someone who

00:04:07.160 is extremely radical on climate change policy. Uh, but at the same time, when you think about

00:04:14.620 it, it might not be that absurd for Democrats. It might not be that crazy for someone who supports

00:04:20.640 AOC to suggest something like eating babies. And how sad is it that we honestly aren't sure

00:04:26.360 that we could see this maybe being real? Um, I fully believe this is where it gets serious.

00:04:32.780 I fully believe that we will live to see the day that people on the left side of the aisle,

00:04:37.200 uh, will openly and shamelessly advocate for infanticide in the name of saving the planet.

00:04:42.120 I really believe that. Uh, now we know that they already do that. They already support

00:04:47.300 infanticide. Uh, they support abortion through nine months and they're very hush hush about the

00:04:52.600 very real situations in which babies who are born alive after surviving an abortion are either left

00:04:58.440 to die as they are fighting for their lives or their spinal cord is snipped by the doctor on the back

00:05:02.920 of their neck. So infanticide already happens. There is absolutely no one, no one that I see on the

00:05:09.760 left that talks about this. I haven't seen any prominent figure. Correct me if I'm wrong. I've

00:05:14.160 not seen any prominent figure of any kind on the left say anything about, for example,

00:05:19.560 Governor Northam's comments when he said that babies who survive abortions would be placed off

00:05:23.540 to the side. They would be, they would be made comfortable while the parent and the doctor decides

00:05:27.940 what to do. Um, I didn't see any, anyone on the left, uh, talk about the doctor in Illinois who had

00:05:36.020 been collecting body parts of aborted babies in his home. Uh, did they have anything to say about

00:05:41.860 Gosnell? For example, their doctor who routinely murdered babies in the birth canal and out of the

00:05:46.300 birth canal. I just didn't see that. And if abortion were really only about a woman's bodily autonomy,

00:05:52.620 a woman's so-called reproductive rights, which is what they say, don't you think, don't you think

00:05:57.740 that they would have something to say about these things, but they don't. Um, prominent conservatives

00:06:01.580 and second amendment advocates always without fail, genuinely decry those who, who, uh, use a gun for

00:06:08.600 murder or commit mass shootings. Why? Because we want the second amendment to be responsibly

00:06:14.520 exercised. We want it to be correctly exercised. We want guns to be used in the right way because we

00:06:19.920 want people to enjoy the right to defend themselves how they see fit. And yet we are still blamed when

00:06:26.140 someone misuses a gun. And yet when children are butchered and their body parts harvested and sold

00:06:32.820 for experimentation, so-called abortion rights advocates are silent and not a single person in

00:06:39.240 the mainstream media demands an explanation from the pro-abortion side. No moderator in a democratic

00:06:45.800 debate is going to ask a candidate about the millions of babies that have died of violent death

00:06:50.180 by dismemberment. Uh, they're not going to be asked about how their rhetoric, which, uh, devalues the

00:06:54.960 distinct life of a child inside the womb has contributed to the normalizing and the glorification

00:06:59.880 of late-term abortion and infanticide. There is no democratic candidate aside from Tulsi Gabbard,

00:07:05.540 who outwardly supports any limits whatsoever on abortion. It is all on demand, no questions asked,

00:07:11.560 no matter what, through all nine months and maybe even a little bit after. Uh, Tulsi Gabbard believes

00:07:16.800 that abortion should be restricted after 26 weeks, which is not by any stretch of the magic of the

00:07:23.020 imagination, by the way, uh, moderate. That is not a moderate position. Babies born at 26 weeks have

00:07:28.700 about a 90% chance of survival. Babies born as early as 21 weeks have survived outside the womb

00:07:34.100 and have grown into fully functioning children. Um, at 26 weeks, most women have been able to feel

00:07:40.480 their baby kick, punch, and wiggle for about five to ten weeks at that point. The baby, of course,

00:07:45.060 has been moving for a lot longer than that. Um, at our 11 and a half week, uh, appointment with my

00:07:51.000 daughter, we saw her on the ultrasound, this fully formed tiny little baby. So 11 and a half weeks,

00:07:56.860 that's still the first trimester, kicking, punching, moving around, flipping around. She had

00:08:01.160 a little brain, little lungs, little beating heart. You can even see where her teeth are going to come

00:08:07.540 in. I mean, this is a fully formed tiny baby in just the first trimester that just needs a little

00:08:13.460 bit more time to develop. And so believing an unrestricted on-demand abortion until 26 weeks,

00:08:19.280 just two weeks away from the third trimester is still radical. That is radical. And yet compared

00:08:23.920 to the other democratic candidates, she is conservative on this issue, which is insane

00:08:27.860 when you think about it. Sometimes I just stop. I'll just be driving or doing something else.

00:08:31.960 And I think about the fact that we're actually having a debate, a debate in this country,

00:08:36.020 whether or not it's okay to kill unborn children. I mean, where's the logic that comes in on the other

00:08:40.700 side? I still haven't been able to figure it out. Democratic candidates not only believe that a

00:08:46.060 woman should be able to kill her child, who at the moment of conception, as you guys know,

00:08:50.220 has distinct DNA and whose sex is even determined at that time as well. They believe in on-demand,

00:08:55.960 no questions asked abortions. They also believe that we should pay for it. They are advocating

00:09:00.940 to get rid of the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits tax dollars from directly funding abortion,

00:09:05.580 even though our tax dollars already go to Planned Parenthood and funds are fungible. So we are

00:09:11.120 in an indirect since already funding abortion, but the Hyde Amendment prohibits our money from going

00:09:16.420 directly to abortion. They want to appeal that. They want our money to directly support abortion

00:09:21.980 because they see that as a right of health care. Democrats today have completely moved away,

00:09:28.820 completely moved away from the safe, legal, and rare standard of a couple of decades ago and have

00:09:33.840 embraced the full glorification of abortion. While they would never say it like this,

00:09:39.960 they would never say this, but their actions show us that they love abortion. They love it.

00:09:45.400 You may say, no, no, no, no, they don't love abortion. They just want a woman to be able to

00:09:49.800 decide. They're just pro-choice. They're not pro-abortion. I don't believe you. Let's apply

00:09:54.640 that standard to something else. I'm personally against it, but it should be legal. So, okay,

00:10:00.660 you are personally against rape, but you think it should be up to the man to decide whether or not he

00:10:06.100 wants to rape someone. The government shouldn't step in. You're going to say and tell him not to.

00:10:10.620 It should be his choice. Do you honestly believe that? I don't think so. I don't think any sane

00:10:14.420 person would. And before you say that that is different, it's not really. Except that abortion

00:10:20.440 is different than rape because you're actually killing someone. And yet, the pro-abortion left,

00:10:26.160 the Democrats running for president, love it. It is shown by the fact that they will do anything for it.

00:10:32.060 They will fight for it forever. They will do whatever it takes to make sure a woman can murder

00:10:36.760 her baby up to and after birth, after the baby can feel pain, after the baby can survive outside

00:10:41.900 the womb, after the baby can cry and scream inside the womb, after the baby is born and instinctively

00:10:47.100 reaching for her mother only to be met with scissors to the back of the neck or scissors to the vocal cords

00:10:51.080 so she cannot cry while she is put off to the side, cold and alone, struggling to breathe.

00:10:55.800 That's what they advocate for. That's what they will defend to the death. That is what the Democratic

00:11:01.580 Party passionately, passionately defends. Pair that with their extreme, nonsensical rhetoric

00:11:09.040 about climate change, that the world is coming to an end in 12 years, that we're all going to

00:11:13.000 waste away into nothing. And is it really that crazy to think that one day, relatively soon,

00:11:18.640 there will be people handing over their babies to be killed, to be consumed, or to be composted

00:11:23.060 for the sake of, quote, saving the planet? I don't think it's that ridiculous to think of.

00:11:27.300 It's not crazy at all. I mean, it is crazy, but it's not crazy to consider that there will be

00:11:32.360 people, probably majoritively on the left, who are advocating for that. And AOC can take part

00:11:38.300 credit for that. She can pat herself on the back for her role in drumming up hysteria about the

00:11:42.760 climate so that people who don't know any better think of extreme measures to stop the world from

00:11:47.240 in day. Now, I will say, I will give her credit in that. She handled the situation pretty well.

00:11:52.740 Those of us who have been in, I haven't been in that exact situation, but if you are, I have been

00:11:58.560 speaking at a place where someone asks a question or really makes a statement. It's not really a

00:12:03.360 question. They make a statement and they get very hysterical. They get very emotional about it. They

00:12:07.680 stop making sense. That has happened to me when I was at the University of California, Berkeley.

00:12:12.800 She handled that really well. She was calm and she was kind about it. I think that was probably the

00:12:18.460 best thing that she could have possibly done. So I do want to give credit where credit is due. But

00:12:22.360 I did find it funny in a dark way, not haha funny, but I guess weird funny that she didn't rule out

00:12:29.880 the baby eating. Like she wasn't like, you know what, we're not going to go there. That seems like

00:12:34.500 a very extreme length and we value life. And, you know, I'm working to save the planet for future

00:12:39.480 generations. She didn't even say that. She didn't say, hey, that's not a good solution. I condemn that

00:12:45.220 wholesale because like I said, nowadays, Democrats actually need to come out and say that they're not

00:12:49.440 for eating babies if we're supposed to assume that they're not. She didn't say that. There are a lot

00:12:54.540 of things that she could have said to outwardly and outrightly condemn this and she chose not to.

00:13:00.100 And honestly, why would she? Why would she? What about the democratic socialist platform makes us think

00:13:04.400 that they care about babies at all? There's nothing that I have seen. Planned Parenthood, speaking of

00:13:08.960 abortion and all of this, Planned Parenthood just built a mega clinic in Illinois to be able to take in

00:13:14.500 more women who want to get abortions in Missouri since Missouri only has one remaining clinic. Go

00:13:21.320 Missouri. And this is the interesting part. They used a shell company to build the clinic so that

00:13:26.100 people wouldn't know they were building it. In the past, when they have built Planned Parenthood clinics,

00:13:31.440 people have protested. They've bombarded the companies providing materials for the building,

00:13:35.820 which I think is awesome. And Planned Parenthood wanted to avoid that. So they did this in secret.

00:13:41.560 Missouri has extremely strict abortion laws. Illinois basically has none. So Planned Parenthood

00:13:47.860 wanted to ensure that women in Missouri could legally slaughter their unborn child. Very,

00:13:52.380 very compassionate group. Don't ever let anyone tell you that Planned Parenthood is about anything

00:13:57.840 other than abortion. Yes, they do other kinds of services. They do screenings so that they can say

00:14:03.840 that they do those things so they can say they're a health care organization. But they are only for and

00:14:09.300 about abortion relentlessly and centrally and pretty much exclusively. That is why they fired their

00:14:15.720 previous CEO, Leanna Nguyen. She wasn't radical enough about abortion access. That is what she

00:14:20.660 said. She's pro-abortion herself. But she even wasn't radical enough. She cared too much about actual

00:14:26.220 health care for them. And a lot of people will say, well, it's only three percent of what Planned

00:14:30.440 Parenthood does. OK, well, a serial killer or any kind of murder probably only spends one percent

00:14:35.960 of his life actually murdering people the rest of the time he's eating, sleeping, maybe even

00:14:41.680 going to work. Does that make him any last of a serial killer, any last of a murderer? No,

00:14:46.380 it doesn't. Of course not. That's stupid reasoning. A Planned Parenthood, as I said,

00:14:50.660 is relentlessly focused on the killing of children. That's just the end of the story. If you want to be

00:14:55.500 on that side, OK, you are going to have to come up with a moral and logical reason for why

00:15:00.520 killing a child based on the location, based on their age, location, meaning inside of the body

00:15:06.900 versus outside of the body, based on their age, based on their developmental stage. You're going

00:15:11.880 to have to come up with a better case than bodily autonomy or women's rights to tell me why you think

00:15:18.260 that it's OK. But don't worry. There are a group or there is a group of people the Democrats do

00:15:23.880 actually care about. They actually do want to save the lives of people who do commit murders.

00:15:28.600 Pete Buttigieg is a Democratic candidate who told The Hill last week that he opposes the death

00:15:33.780 penalty even for terrorists. Because why? Because that is the killing of a defenseless human being.

00:15:40.400 Don't you guys see? He said this. I do believe that the moral consequence he's telling us about

00:15:46.280 moral consequences, the moral consequence of killing somebody who is defenseless for any reason

00:15:52.520 goes against certainly what I've been taught about the way we're supposed to treat human life.

00:15:56.540 Now, let's contrast that. Let's contrast that to what he has said when asked about third trimester

00:16:03.540 abortions. He told Fox News' Chris Wallace, I trust women to draw the line. Pete Buttigieg,

00:16:09.280 professed Christian, has never said anything about restricting abortion at any point in gestation.

00:16:14.900 He also said, we covered this, I think it was last week or the week before, said on The Breakfast Club

00:16:19.060 a few weeks ago that the Bible says that life starts with breath, which is laughable and untrue,

00:16:24.480 although I don't think that any of us should be taking theological lessons from Pete Buttigieg.

00:16:28.400 The bottom line is, Buttigieg does not see life inside the womb as life at all, which is not only

00:16:34.540 morally and logically and biblically wrong, but it is also scientifically correct. So he is a science

00:16:39.700 denier, as well as morally backwards and theologically inept. You can be against the death

00:16:44.540 penalty. I understand that perspective. I've listened to many arguments about this, though the Bible,

00:16:49.720 if you're talking from a biblical perspective, the Bible isn't outright against the death penalty,

00:16:55.420 certainly not. It actually suggests or gives a command for the death penalty in the Old Testament

00:17:00.820 for certain crimes. But you can be against it because of the risk that you might be forever

00:17:05.300 penalizing someone who is wrongly accused or because you think that the state shouldn't have

00:17:09.500 the power to decide who lives or dies. I understand that. But it does not make sense to be against the

00:17:15.480 death penalty for murders and for the slaughter of defenseless babies. Now, you can be against the

00:17:20.540 death penalty or for the death penalty for murders and against the slaughter of unborn babies. That

00:17:25.320 doesn't make you a hypocrite. But it does make you a hypocrite to be against the death penalty for

00:17:30.920 murders and for the death penalty for defenseless, innocent human beings. Innocent in the fact that

00:17:37.160 they haven't committed any crimes. But these kinds of inconsistencies that we see from someone like

00:17:43.080 Pete Buttigieg or even AOC or any of the people that we're going to talk about are normal. They're

00:17:48.220 normal when someone's worldview is not based on absolute truth. When you decide that what's right

00:17:54.660 and what's wrong is based not on what the transcendent moral lawgiver thinks as found in

00:18:00.140 his word, but on what you think and you feel, you will always inevitably contradict yourself because

00:18:05.440 you are not good. I am not good at being my own God. That is an absurd worldview. We will see

00:18:11.280 absurdity over and over again when people's worldview is not based on absolute truth.

00:18:16.240 Speaking of absurdity, a member of the squad, the squad is, they are four members of Congress,

00:18:23.320 Democratic members of Congress. This is one of those members, Democratic representative from

00:18:28.300 Michigan, Rashida Tlaib. She's constantly saying things that just kind of make you go,

00:18:32.340 where did you come up with that line of so-called reasoning that you just decided to verbalize?

00:18:39.500 Most recently, she told the Detroit police chief to only use African-American analysts for facial

00:18:46.260 recognition systems because white people, quote, think African-Americans all look the same. That's

00:18:50.980 really interesting. I don't think that. Do you? Do you think that? I'm not sure where she got that.

00:18:54.580 The police chief also happens to be black. He called her directive insulting, said that it had

00:19:00.000 nothing to do with race or gender of the analyst, but that it's about training. And that's obvious.

00:19:05.020 He's right, because what Rashida Tlaib asked him to do is racist. Now, remember, when Trump suggested

00:19:12.420 that a judge with a Mexican heritage may not be able to judge fairly because of his background,

00:19:16.780 that was the wrong thing to say, in my opinion. That was bad. This is a similar thing. Tlaib is

00:19:22.820 saying that white people cannot do this job correctly because they're either too dumb or they're

00:19:27.780 too inherently racist and that no amount of training could possibly overcome it. She then defended her

00:19:33.300 comments doubling down, saying that criminals could be misidentified if the analyst doesn't

00:19:37.620 look the same as them. I'm sorry, what? Like, are you trying to say that only a certain race of

00:19:43.280 people commit crimes? That's a really interesting generalization and accusation to make. Also,

00:19:49.560 interestingly, Rashida Tlaib has been on the front lines for every single hoax, every single race hoax on

00:19:57.940 the books this year. Just a couple of weeks ago, a 12-year-old girl, I'm not going to say her name

00:20:02.840 because she is a child and she did something pretty immature, but that's just what children

00:20:09.400 do. She falsely claimed that three white boys held her hands behind her back and cut off her

00:20:13.820 dreadlocks, which would be horrible if it happened, but as it turned out, it didn't actually happen.

00:20:17.940 She came forward and said that she actually made this up, but it became national news because it

00:20:23.140 was at the school where Karen Pence teaches part-time. Of course, Rashida Tlaib immediately latched

00:20:28.160 onto the story, tweeting, uh, you see, you may not feel it now. She's, uh, directing this to this

00:20:33.160 young girl. You may not feel it now, but you have a power that threatens their core. I can't wait to

00:20:38.160 watch you use it and thrive. Stay strong. Um, like I said, as it turns out, the girl admitted that this

00:20:44.940 was not true. She made up the story for attention as kids do. Unfortunately, it is likely that someone

00:20:50.620 in her life has probably told her, has probably influenced, influenced her into thinking that claiming

00:20:55.720 racism is going to get you some kind of sympathy or attention. Hopefully, I truly do hope that she

00:21:01.180 learns from this situation. I hope that she is given forgiveness for this. Um, I never heard anything

00:21:06.760 from Tlaib after that, after this information came out, this was not true. Uh, she did the same thing

00:21:12.320 with the Covington Catholic saga when the boys were accused of harassing a Native American man, which

00:21:17.000 ended up not being true at all. We looked at the full footage. She tweeted, this is so hard to watch.

00:21:22.040 It reminds us of the growing hate and oppression. We are all up against hashtag take on hate. And then

00:21:28.520 of course there was, there was a Jussie Smollett, the infamous racial hoax of the year. She claimed, uh,

00:21:35.060 that this happened because of the quote, dangerous lies spewing from the right wing. Uh, these lies she

00:21:40.700 said are killing and hurting our people. And do not forget when a state representative from Georgia

00:21:46.800 claimed a white man in line hurled racial slurs at her. It turned out that all he had done was say, Hey,

00:21:52.760 you've got more than 15 items and you're in the 15 items or less line. You need to move. But Rashida Tlaib

00:21:58.620 tweeted out when she first heard about this story, Erica Thomas, you are loved. You are loved. You are loved.

00:22:04.020 You are loved. Uh, you can find this list of all of the racial hoaxes that Rashida Tlaib has latched onto

00:22:09.460 on freebeacon.com and an article by David Rutz. Uh, remember this should remind us that the

00:22:15.260 intersectional left thrives on misery and resentment and anger and malice and grievance and racism and

00:22:21.080 hate all the things by the way that Christians are told to let go of when we come into our new life

00:22:26.500 in Christ, they cannot function without people believing that they are oppressed. Uh, so much of

00:22:33.100 the Democrats time is spent telling people that they are oppressed, whether it is true or not,

00:22:37.900 because their, uh, fuel is this idea of oppression. They want these stories to be true. They want to

00:22:44.560 believe a poor girl had her dreadlocks cut off. They want to believe that Jussie Smollett was attacked.

00:22:49.940 They want and need these things to be true. It is their lifeblood. It affirms the narrative that

00:22:55.260 conservatives are making the country unsafe. Now, switching gears just a little bit, I thought that

00:23:01.640 this story was, uh, very interesting. Uh, a trans activist by the name of Charlie Evans is

00:23:07.520 taking a lot of heat, uh, for speaking out about the fact that sex reassignment surgery did not help

00:23:14.520 her. So Charlie Evans was born female. She transitioned to male, and then she detransitioned

00:23:20.120 to female in 2018. And she is now claiming that she is one of hundreds that she personally knows

00:23:26.380 who are speaking out about the fact that their gender dysphoria was not helped by their surgery.

00:23:31.080 And we actually talked about this last week. There was a study out of Sweden where there is basically

00:23:35.460 no social stigma at all against transgenderism. The suicide rates are the same before and after

00:23:42.000 surgery for, uh, people who suffer with gender dysphoria because mutilating your body just doesn't

00:23:46.940 fix your mind. Um, it's in the same way that people who struggle with eating disorders like I did in

00:23:51.680 college, uh, they never see themselves as skinny enough. You swear that when your body gets to a

00:23:55.940 place where you want it, when you see a certain number on the scale, then you'll be content. You'll be

00:23:59.780 fine. You'll finally be at peace. You'll stop worrying. You'll stop under eating. You'll stop

00:24:04.100 binging and purging. You won't be so disturbed and obsessed over losing weight, but it's just not

00:24:08.500 true because there's something psychologically deeper there. There's a, a psychological need

00:24:13.560 that needs to be met, not just a physical one. Uh, one of the people that Evans has helped said

00:24:19.120 this to Sky News. When I was at my gender clinic to get referred for hormones, we had a session where

00:24:24.140 I went over my mental health issues and I told them about my eating disorder and they didn't suggest

00:24:28.960 that that could maybe be connected to my gender dysphoria. For everyone who has gender dysphoria,

00:24:34.300 whether they are trans or not, I want there to be more options for us because I think there's a

00:24:38.560 system of saying, okay, here's your hormones, here's your surgery, off you go. I don't think

00:24:43.340 that's helpful for anyone that is someone who underwent this transition and is now, uh, still

00:24:48.400 or struggling from that. Um, and this is why, this is why when you hear trans activists point to what

00:24:54.680 doctors or even medical organizations say about the importance of sex change surgery or hormone

00:24:59.700 therapy, you can just ignore them. You can ignore them because these doctors and organizations are

00:25:04.520 not operating out of scientific accuracy or even helpfulness or care for their patients. They are

00:25:10.240 trying to be politically correct so they don't get protested. Uh, they want to be liked more than

00:25:15.260 they actually want to help their patients. Uh, because now in places like California, you are prohibited

00:25:20.460 from any kind of counseling that is not quote gender affirming. So conversion therapy, as they call

00:25:25.780 it, whether it is to, uh, help someone through gender dysphoria or unwanted, uh, same-sex attraction

00:25:31.320 is prohibited. Why? Because as we often say, this is what happens when you replace the God of scripture

00:25:38.020 with the God of self. Uh, when the God of self rules, facts don't matter. Truth doesn't matter. Objective

00:25:44.900 morality doesn't matter. No kind of universal standards matter. All that matters is that you do what you

00:25:50.460 want and that you are being authentic. You are being yourself. Uh, but what we will continue to see is

00:25:55.920 that we would, uh, do not, when we deny God's laws, his moral laws, his natural laws, we will end up

00:26:02.320 miserable. And speaking of miserable, I did just want to, I didn't want to end this podcast without

00:26:07.340 mentioning that, yes, we are still talking about impeachment and I have been following it. So I know

00:26:14.700 what's going on, although there seems to be a new development all the time, but I can give you kind of a

00:26:19.260 general rundown of what's happening. So basically president Trump was accused of a quid pro quo

00:26:25.060 with Ukraine to investigate Biden. Um, as it turned out, it wasn't a quid pro quo, but now there's

00:26:31.800 some kind of controversy that Democrats are drumming up about his calls with foreign leaders in general

00:26:36.680 that people are very disturbed by them. There is now two whistleblowers at this point, but the first

00:26:41.400 whistleblower didn't actually know anything directly. He heard something and then it was

00:26:45.700 a misconstrued and Adam Schiff has been lying about everything. He lied for two years about the

00:26:51.500 Russian collusion hoax. And now people are saying because Donald Trump is calling him shifty Schiff

00:26:57.200 that he is being antisemitic. What? I know it's actually crazy, but it's also stuff is coming out

00:27:03.940 with a Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, who was, uh, getting a lot of money from Ukraine, even though

00:27:10.440 he has really no business or no experience, no credibility whatsoever to be doing business with

00:27:17.020 them. And that Biden was actually probably involved in some kind of corrupt quid pro quo when he was

00:27:23.100 vice president, but he is saying, Oh no, uh, Joe Biden saying, Oh no, don't look at that. That has

00:27:28.780 nothing to do with me. Cory Booker said, Oh, you shouldn't ask questions at all about Joe Biden.

00:27:33.600 That's just a distraction from what we want to do. Is the house going to impeach? Probably not. I think

00:27:39.900 it's just a talking point at this point. And I do think that, uh, Democrats seem to still not be on

00:27:45.100 the same page about that. To me, that's really all that you need to know that it's probably not

00:27:50.920 going to happen. Of course, we see that Trump is extremely defensive about all of this. We've got

00:27:55.440 Rudy Giuliani going to bat for him in the media as he often does. Um, I'm not sure as always that

00:28:02.200 the president's tweets are helping the situation and the things that he's saying, but this is, and this

00:28:09.000 is what I always say. I think the president should just keep his head down and continuing

00:28:12.120 and continue to do things that are good. One of the good things that he did recently was to make

00:28:17.560 sure that people who are coming in, uh, to work, to have a work visa, uh, that they can actually pay

00:28:24.480 for their medical insurance, that they can actually provide for themselves. A lot of people are giving

00:28:28.760 a peep for that. I think that's a very good thing. Uh, we already have a lot of people to support

00:28:33.200 on our system. There is no need for us to support even more. It is completely logical to require

00:28:38.700 those who are coming in to be able to support themselves as, as much as they can, or to have

00:28:43.080 family who can support them. So that's something that's happening, um, right now. I think I kind

00:28:47.980 of gave you a pretty good overview of the news. Actually. Okay. There's one other thing. Speaking

00:28:52.320 of immigration, I have to play this clip, um, by Beto O'Rourke that he tweeted out and that he

00:28:57.520 thought was awesome. I noticed that you pander a lot to the illegal aliens and encouraging

00:29:02.100 illegal immigration. Hold on, hold on. Let's, let's let her speak. Let's let her speak, please.

00:29:08.320 We are a nation of laws and I just think it's a slap in the face to every legal immigrant

00:29:12.760 who has waited and paid and played by the rules. What is a slap in the face to my conscience

00:29:18.460 and the best traditions of this country is taking kids from their parents and putting them in cages.

00:29:27.520 We in this country, we in this country have lost the lives. We've lost the lives of seven

00:29:38.440 children in our custody and in our care. There are tens of thousands waiting on the other side

00:29:46.180 of the border in an Orwellian named migrant protection protocol in Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez,

00:29:52.460 vulnerable, penniless, frightened. They are being preyed upon those who exploit those who have

00:29:58.380 no defense left. If immigration is a problem, it is the best possible problem this country

00:30:05.020 could have. I want those asylum seekers here in this country. I want us to live according to our

00:30:10.600 conscience, to our laws, to our commitments and to the best, boldest, brightest future we could

00:30:16.980 possibly have. Those immigrants pose no threat to you nor to me. Stop trafficking in these lives.

00:30:22.520 So you've got this, you've got this young lady saying, Hey, look, I'm a legal immigrant. I went

00:30:26.500 through the process and, uh, and it is a slap in the face to say that people can just come in

00:30:33.160 willy nilly without going through any kind of process or making any sort of effort whatsoever.

00:30:37.880 Beto completely ignores her answer. He doesn't say anything to her at all about,

00:30:43.460 or doesn't say anything to actually address her concern. And he thought his non-answer

00:30:47.580 was so impressive that he actually tweeted it out. Uh, and he thought that this was such a heroic

00:30:54.080 moment and such an awesome moment, uh, that he actually went public with it. If I were him,

00:30:59.740 if any logical thinking person were him, you would have been embarrassed by that. You would have been

00:31:03.580 like, Oh shoot, they called my bluff or I have no idea what I'm talking about. I really don't have

00:31:08.120 any knowledge whatsoever of the immigration system. And so I gave her a non-answer. I wouldn't want to

00:31:12.580 hide that, but instead he tweets it because this is what a lot of people, not everyone,

00:31:17.000 but a lot of people on the left and certainly the democratic candidates do. They know they can get

00:31:20.580 away with emotional virtue signaling. And I know that that's such a cliche phrase that we use a lot,

00:31:25.660 but really that's all it is cliche virtue signaling. I rather than addressing Americans real concerns.

00:31:31.300 I'm not sure what country Beto thinks that he is running for president of. It's a little bit

00:31:37.480 confusing. And one other crazy thing that happened, I know I keep on adding on to my list of news

00:31:43.440 stories, but that's just because so much, it seems like it's happened. And I haven't even gotten to,

00:31:47.480 I haven't even gotten to all the things I wanted to talk about, but in the tragic case of Botham,

00:31:52.580 Jean or John, there have been different pronunciations to the last name. We talked about

00:31:56.260 it on Monday, biblical forgiveness, as it pertains to, uh, Brant, Botham's brother,

00:32:00.380 when he extended grace to Botham's killer, Amber Geiger. We talked about all of that and how

00:32:05.380 Christians should, uh, look at that from a biblical perspective, but something else tragic happened.

00:32:10.120 A neighbor of Botham who testified in the case was actually murdered. There were multiple gunshot

00:32:15.840 wounds, um, in a parking lot, seemingly totally random. Now there have been a lot of questions

00:32:21.800 when it comes to this particular case, uh, about whether or not this was handled justly or whether

00:32:28.140 or not there was corruption, uh, does, uh, do they have, or does the justice system have a hard time,

00:32:34.880 have difficulty or have a hesitance to actually convict their own and to justly handle the

00:32:40.360 situation? Now, one pushback that I would give on that, and it could be by the way that this,

00:32:46.220 uh, murder of this young man, Botham's neighbor could be totally separate from that. It could be

00:32:50.640 totally separate from that, but it is, um, provoking people to ask some questions because

00:32:54.680 there were already questions about the, uh, about the integrity of how this case was handled in

00:33:00.980 general. So I'm just letting you, letting you know that it's all kind of, uh, connected in a

00:33:06.480 certain way. And certainly to some people, it's all kind of connected, but the pushback that I would

00:33:10.540 give to those who say that this was not justice, that she should have gotten more. I would genuinely,

00:33:15.820 and this is not sarcasm. I would genuinely want to know what would have been justice in this

00:33:21.640 particular situation. Obviously justice to the people who are pushing back on this is more than 10

00:33:26.800 years. So how many years, uh, 12 years, 15 years, 25 years, life in prison, uh, the death sentence,

00:33:35.680 what would be justice in this situation? Because that's not what I'm hearing. I'm hearing that this

00:33:40.980 wasn't justice, that the sentence was, uh, too light. And as I said on Monday, I just don't know

00:33:46.440 enough to say that. I can't say that with authority that the sentence was too light. I, like I've said,

00:33:50.780 I was surprised that it was only 10 years. I really was, but I can't say with authority that

00:33:57.740 it should have been 11 years or it should have been a hundred years. And so that's what I would

00:34:01.100 like to know. If you have an answer, please let me know. What do you think would have been justice

00:34:05.960 in this situation? We were not, uh, jury members. We were not the judge. We were not the prosecutor.

00:34:11.600 We didn't have really any part in this case. So what is justice and what does a call for justice

00:34:18.700 in this case look like those who are accusing those of just celebrating their forgiveness?

00:34:24.660 What else should we do except for pointing the things out that seem to be questionable and

00:34:28.600 inconsistent? Um, and I want to research this more. I do. I would like to do a full podcast episode

00:34:33.740 researching, uh, not just this murder, because I do want to know what happened to Botham's neighbor,

00:34:39.340 because it's just tragic in general and separately from this, but also more about the case. There's a lot

00:34:44.480 to be, there's a lot to be known about it. And I don't want you to think that I'm ignoring the rest of

00:34:48.060 it because I'm certainly not, but we don't have to put a caveat to our rejoicing for the forgiveness

00:34:53.080 that was shown by Botham's brother. Um, okay. I think that really is the end of it. Now I'm not

00:34:57.640 going to add another story on. Thank you guys for listening. Please subscribe to YouTube. It's

00:35:11.040 episode, there are two that I keep on getting asked about that I will address. And that is climate

00:35:16.560 change. And, uh, the second amendment, there are also some theological suggestions that I've gotten

00:35:21.760 as well. Like what does it mean to be unequally yoked? So I've got all of those coming down the

00:35:25.940 pipeline, but if you've got another suggestion, please let me know. Thank you guys for watching,
