Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 242 ｜ Believe Accusers! Except Joe Biden's

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. If you are watching this, then you see that I have a very

00:00:06.440 fancy background. I have been working hard to try to find a spot for you guys where this looks

00:00:11.920 decent since I am recording from home. If you don't subscribe to my YouTube channel, my Allie

00:00:17.280 Beth Stuckey YouTube channel, make sure you do that. The video version of this comes out in the

00:00:21.180 afternoon, but you who are listening to this get to listen to it in the morning. But if you want

00:00:26.040 to watch too, if you want to share with people who don't listen to podcasts, subscribe to my

00:00:29.700 YouTube channel and you can send in the YouTube versions of this. I also sometimes upload other

00:00:35.480 videos onto there and little highlight clips and things like that. And for those of you who already

00:00:39.720 do subscribe, thank you very much. So today we are going to talk about a smorgasbord of things. We

00:00:46.780 are going to talk about Joe Biden because you might've forgotten that there is a presidential

00:00:51.480 campaign going on right now in the midst of this pandemic. So we just need to see what our friend

00:00:56.140 Joe is up to. We are going to talk about a little bit about AOC and her calling for a boycott from

00:01:03.680 work. And what a great idea that is. If we have time, I am finally going to tell you my thoughts

00:01:09.980 on the Out of Shadows documentary that has millions of views on YouTube. You can go watch that. It's

00:01:15.920 Out of Shadows. If I don't get to that today, I will get to it soon. I promise I'm going to talk

00:01:22.120 about that at some point. And again, if we have time, we are going to continue the analysis of the

00:01:28.900 Harvard professors who are trying to push a ban on homeschooling and why they're doing that and

00:01:34.740 how that points to a larger flawed and fractured worldview that we as Christians should know about.

00:01:41.520 And then again, if we have time, we will talk about Earth Day, the idolatry of environmentalism,

00:01:47.260 and what the Pope had to say about all that. There's a lot that I want to say today that I

00:01:52.120 might not have time for towards the end. I'll just have to make like game time decisions,

00:01:56.880 prioritizing what we will end up talking about towards the end. But I do want to talk to you

00:02:01.240 guys about Joe Biden because there's a lot going on with him. So Joe Biden, what is our friend,

00:02:07.280 good uncle Joe, Democratic nominee up to? Well, he's been doing media interviews, which he has to do,

00:02:15.260 which I'm not sure his campaign is super excited about because of how they typically go. I will

00:02:21.140 play you an interview on CNN that he was a part of with Anderson Cooper last week. And you can hear

00:02:28.380 how that went.

00:02:29.080 Kinds of things that that have to be done. You know, there's a during World War Two, you know,

00:02:36.880 where Roosevelt came up with a thing that, you know, was totally different than a than the

00:02:43.920 it's called. He called it the, you know, the World War Two. He had the world, the war production 0.92

00:02:49.400 board. Well, I don't know why we don't set up something like a pandemic production board where we

00:02:54.360 know, honestly, I couldn't tell you what they're talking about, but I guarantee you no amount of

00:02:58.180 context would make that answer any better. I, I, I, I press you. I press you. Any Joe Biden supporter

00:03:04.920 who was trying to justify his obvious, uh, lack of, uh, ability, uh, capability mentally to tell me

00:03:14.860 what he meant by that, what any of that was supposed to say again, I'm not making fun of the

00:03:20.080 guy. I am concerned truly about his capacity to serve in any way that, uh, I am concerned that

00:03:32.180 he honestly has some kind of degenerative thing going on with his brain and that it is a cruel trick

00:03:41.460 that they are parading him, uh, in to the public arena, into the running for president of the United

00:03:48.560 States, when clearly he's not all there and he's just not able to communicate in a way that is

00:03:53.040 effective or coherent at all. Uh, here are just a couple more examples of him just not being able to

00:04:00.400 make any sense. This is at a campaign rally. And by the way, you know, I sit on the stand and it get

00:04:07.060 hot. I got a lot of, I got hairy legs that turned that, that, that, that, that, that turn, uh, um,

00:04:14.220 blonde in the sun and the kids used to come up and reach in the pool and rub my leg down. So it was

00:04:20.940 straight and then watch the hair come back up again. They'd look at it. So I learned about roaches. I

00:04:27.080 learned about kids jumping on my lap. Again, no amount of context, no amount of context would

00:04:34.280 change that. Please tell me if you think that you can interpret that, if you can translate that to

00:04:40.400 me into something that makes any kind of formidable sense, I would love to hear it. I'm very eager to

00:04:45.900 know. Uh, here's, uh, another one where he can't remember the declaration of independence.

00:04:50.640 We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created by, go, you know, 1.00

00:04:57.060 the, you know, the thing, not just like a random part of the declaration of independence. That's

00:05:01.820 like a pretty famous, a pretty famous line. There are dozens and dozens of instances of this

00:05:08.020 happening. And look, I'm not saying that president Trump is like the smoothest talker in the world.

00:05:12.640 I remember when he called Tim Cook, Tim Apple, and everyone was like, Oh my gosh, I can't believe

00:05:16.340 you called him that, but that's kind of understandable. Like you're thinking, okay, he's the CEO of

00:05:20.240 Apple. And so you just say it now. He tried to like double down on it. It was like, I didn't say that

00:05:25.220 when it was obvious that he did say that, but the media was like, Oh my gosh, he's losing it. Well,

00:05:30.180 no, that's much more understandable than saying some of the things that Joe Biden has said. And

00:05:35.720 Trump has pretty much always spoken. Like he speaks now he speaks in superlatives. He doesn't always

00:05:40.860 finish his sentences, but he makes sense. Like it's not just nonsense and gibberish. Even if you don't

00:05:46.060 like him, like you cannot watch Trump's recent press conferences on the coronavirus and say that

00:05:51.220 the guy isn't with it. Like he is on his a game, especially when he is in some kind of adversarial

00:05:56.820 conversation with the press, he is totally and completely with it. Now, again, if you don't like

00:06:01.620 him, you can say, well, he's an idiot even at his best. Okay. That's fine. But he doesn't have 1.00

00:06:05.920 dementia the way it seems like Joe Biden does. I'm not a doctor by the way. So I don't know if he does,

00:06:11.080 and I'm not making a light of the fact that he does, but his campaign, his people, his family

00:06:15.660 need to be honest about that, that there is something degenerative going on there that probably

00:06:22.340 disqualifies him for being president of the United States. And Trump is going to absolutely

00:06:27.240 dominate Joe Biden because of that. I mean, Trump beat Hillary Clinton, who was coherent and who I

00:06:33.120 think for all of her flaws and all of her failures and faults was able to form good arguments and to make

00:06:39.940 her case for what she actually believed in these debates. And Donald Trump beat her. He beat her

00:06:45.260 specifically in a lot of those debates, not all of them, but he also beat her with the electoral vote

00:06:50.220 for the president of the United States. So if he was able to beat Hillary Clinton, like it's hard for

00:06:54.400 me to believe that he is not going to be able to do the same thing with Joe Biden. Bernie, like at least

00:07:01.840 he's good at throwing out big moral statements that sound good. It would have been harder, I think,

00:07:07.220 for Trump to actually debate Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders makes what sounds like a very

00:07:12.700 virtuous case. Now, upon further inspection, obviously the things he's saying are nonsensical,

00:07:17.740 but unfortunately a lot of people seem incapable or unwilling to do things like further and further

00:07:23.220 inspection. On Wednesday, I mentioned that the coronavirus is the best thing to happen to people

00:07:29.960 like Bill de Blasio and Andrew Cuomo because, or the best thing to happen to their careers. Okay,

00:07:36.020 the best thing to happen to their careers because, uh, it, they are able to distract people from their

00:07:42.800 corruption and from their budgetary mismanagement, for example, and for their lack of leadership and

00:07:48.300 just point to the catastrophe that this virus has caused and they can blame Donald Trump for

00:07:54.500 everything. Well, that's also true right now for Joe Biden. He can kind of fly under the radar

00:07:59.420 and it's true for most incompetent democratic politicians right now because they can distract

00:08:03.980 everyone from their own incompetence and aptitude, their corruption and point to what a bad job

00:08:09.120 Donald Trump is doing. Uh, he's also Joe Biden is talking about, or other people are talking about

00:08:15.460 Joe Biden picking Michelle Obama as his vice president. That would be smart for him. Probably

00:08:20.060 not that smart for Michelle Obama. It would be smart for Joe Biden because there are a lot of people

00:08:25.660 across the aisle, especially a lot of moderates that really like Michelle Obama. Obviously she's very

00:08:31.260 beloved in the democratic party, but the democratic party is probably going to vote for Joe Biden

00:08:35.600 anyway, but she might be able to win some moderates and some people who just don't like Donald Trump

00:08:41.700 because she's very appealing to a wide array of people. Obviously she's very popular in the African

00:08:47.040 American community as well. And so that might help Joe Biden. I don't think that it's very productive

00:08:53.480 for Michelle Obama's career because she's already so loved. She is a celebrity. She is, um, seen by a lot

00:09:02.340 of people. It's like the mother of America. And so she doesn't need to add anything to her, uh, to her

00:09:10.060 resume in order to make herself any more famous. Like being vice president is not really going to, 0.98

00:09:16.880 it's, it's just not going to add a whole lot to her unless she wants to do it for just like the common 0.99

00:09:21.600 good, the good of the democratic party to help Joe Biden win. I highly doubt she would do it.

00:09:26.920 If Barack Obama was this delayed in endorsing his former vice president, then I have a hard time

00:09:33.980 believing that Michelle Obama is going to do this again, no personal gain. Maybe it would help

00:09:39.360 politically for the democratic party, but I'm not, I'm not sure if that would send Joe Biden over the

00:09:44.120 edge or not. He's also talking about, or some people are talking about him picking Stacey Abrams,

00:09:48.880 the person who ran for governor of Georgia and lost to Brian Kemp. Of course, there is this

00:09:56.020 mythology on the left that she really won, but because of voter suppression and some kind of 0.91

00:10:01.880 sketchy business that Brian Kemp beat her, that's not true. Even the Washington post has back checked

00:10:07.860 that claim. It's just not true. It's a myth. And yet you'll turn on MSNBC or CNN, and you will still

00:10:13.780 hear that how Stacey Abrams is the rightful governor of Georgia. It's just not true. And you will see

00:10:20.080 people saying, Oh, she's so qualified. You're so qualified Stacey Abrams. It's very obvious in all

00:10:24.780 of her media interviews that she wants to be vice president. Um, but one, she's not any more qualified 1.00

00:10:30.920 than any other state representative. Like that's her background. Any other state representative who has

00:10:35.720 run for a higher office and lost according to that logic is qualified for vice president. Maybe that's

00:10:41.800 true of some people. It's not true just because you're a state rep who lost a statewide election.

00:10:48.600 So I don't really see why she's qualified. Uh, she is not, I don't think in my calculation,

00:10:55.300 a smart pick for Joe Biden for his vice president. She is not going to help him win people in the 0.98

00:11:02.040 democratic party or win people who supported Bernie Sanders, but won't support him, but it could turn

00:11:07.120 moderates off and blue collar people, people in the middle of the country who just see her as too

00:11:11.140 radical and wouldn't vote for Joe Biden. If she were on the ticket. And now let's talk about Tara

00:11:17.220 Reed. She was a junior staffer in 1993 who claims that Joe Biden assaulted her in 93. I won't go

00:11:24.780 into details of the assault, but there are a lot of, there are pretty graphic details. You can read

00:11:30.380 about them in NPR. If you want to, she's a Democrat. Okay. She's a lifelong Democrat. She's not a Trump

00:11:35.580 supporter. She did support Bernie Sanders when he was in the running, but she's not some like Republican

00:11:40.260 or Trump plant or anything like that. She filed a complaint actually when it happened. And just

00:11:45.760 coincidentally, I'm using scare quotes was asked to stop managing the interns at the time. And there

00:11:51.480 are interns now who say that they remember that and, or interns that were interns then who now say

00:11:57.220 that they remember that. And they thought that it was really weird. Uh, she told her friends that

00:12:01.720 she felt like she was being harassed by Joe Biden at the time that he would stroke her hair and say

00:12:06.920 things like that. He likes her legs, which is super weird. Her brother actually said that she told him

00:12:12.560 of the account at the time. So just FYI, all of this, uh, all of this amounts to more support for

00:12:20.020 her story than Christine Blasey Ford had for her story against justice Kavanaugh. And yet there is only

00:12:26.860 one count of one story on Tara read as I'm recording this on CNN.com. Most of you probably haven't even

00:12:34.060 heard about this because it is being so underreported. It is being reported, but it's

00:12:38.200 being underreported compared to how the media reported on justice Kavanaugh. The New York

00:12:42.780 times took 19 dates to report on the allegation. After they learned of it, they were the first,

00:12:48.140 uh, they were the first outlet to report on it. The New York times executive editor,

00:12:53.080 Dean Bacchett, I don't know how to pronounce his last name, justified that choice, waiting on

00:12:57.400 reporting it and then under reporting it. He justified it this way. He said Kavanaugh was already in a

00:13:02.420 public forum in a large way. Kavanaugh status as a Supreme court justice was in question because of

00:13:07.540 a very serious allegation different than a public way of Tara reads. I'm kind of paraphrasing, but

00:13:13.600 you can see, you can see the quote online. This is again by Dean Bacchett, the executive editor of

00:13:19.520 the New York times. He said, so I thought in that case of the New York times is going to introduce

00:13:24.040 this to readers. We needed to introduce it with some reporting and perspective. Kavanaugh was in a very

00:13:28.520 different situation. It was a live ongoing story that had become the biggest political story in

00:13:34.380 the country. It was just a different news judgment. He says that they chose to delay this and kind of

00:13:39.580 sit on it for a while. Cause most people didn't know what Tara, who Tara read was. Well, yeah,

00:13:44.180 people didn't know who Tara read was because the New York times didn't report on it. The only reason

00:13:48.440 that people knew who Christine Blasey Ford was, was because the Washington post, if I'm remembering

00:13:53.760 correctly reported on it, the only reason people feel the way that they do, or the only reason why

00:14:00.280 people see something at least online as a monumental moment is because the press makes it a certain way.

00:14:08.060 And so the press ran with the allegations of Christine Blasey Ford, not just the Washington

00:14:12.700 post and the New York times, but CNN, NBC, CBS, all of those outlets said that she is a hero,

00:14:18.360 that she is undoubtedly telling the truth that no woman has any ulterior motive when they are saying

00:14:23.720 that they are victims of, uh, some kind of assault or harassment, but she didn't have any corroborating

00:14:29.360 evidence. She didn't have any substantiating or substantiating evidence or corroborating witnesses.

00:14:34.640 She constantly contradicted herself. She didn't have substantive answers to the questioning when they

00:14:39.960 were on trial. And yet we were told by these outlets and by leftist activists, by feminists,

00:14:46.980 that we need to believe all women. And that's, that was a turning point for me and understanding

00:14:52.460 just how far a lot of people, not everyone, but a lot of people on the left, in the media,

00:14:57.060 democratic politicians will go to push their agenda and push their ideology. They tried to ruin

00:15:02.680 a man's entire life based on a wholly unsubstantiated allegation. And I remember

00:15:09.300 watching Kavanaugh's testimony. I watched Blasey Ford's testimony. Then I watched Kavanaugh's testimony.

00:15:14.100 And there was no question in my mind after that. Um, now none of us were there on that night. And so

00:15:19.820 I, you know, none of us were eyewitnesses to that, but I was changed by his testimony. That's why I was

00:15:27.360 going to rallies and all that kind of stuff, because it was obvious what the Democrats were trying to do

00:15:32.120 and they didn't question it. They never questioned it. There was no critical thinking about Blasey Ford's

00:15:37.240 accusation. They ran with the accusation by Julie Swetnick, who said that, uh, and Deborah Ramirez,

00:15:42.960 Julie Swetnick said that she was gang raped by him at a party. And then in an interview said,

00:15:48.560 uh, through Michael Avenatti, her totally not sketchy now in jail attorney, by the way. Um,

00:15:55.840 and not sketchy was sarcasm in that description, by the way. So Julie Swetnick said that she was

00:16:00.820 gang raped by Kavanaugh. And then in an interview said, Oh no, actually I don't ever remember seeing

00:16:05.540 Kavanaugh there. And the media had already run with it. So they tried to drag this man through the mud,

00:16:10.540 absolutely ruined his life based on unsubstantiated allegations without any critical thinking

00:16:15.620 whatsoever. And now with Joe Biden, well, we have a more measured response. We're going to sit on this

00:16:20.580 for 19 days. As the Washington free beacon recently noted, Joe Biden has been asked 81 questions in

00:16:28.360 over two hours worth of media interviews since a former staffer in his U S Senate office accused him

00:16:34.040 of sexual assault three weeks ago. He hasn't fielded a single question about the allegation.

00:16:39.000 According to an article by Mark Hemingway and real clear politics,

00:16:43.240 but Kett admitted that the times edited story on reads allegations at the behest of the Biden

00:16:48.920 campaign. So they had said that the times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden

00:16:55.220 beyond the hugs, kisses and touching the woman previously said made them uncomfortable. It's an

00:17:00.420 amazing statement. And then they actually changed that. They changed the second part of that sentence

00:17:05.260 because the Biden campaign reached out to the New York times and said, Oh, that makes us

00:17:09.340 uncomfortable. We feel like that's inaccurate. And so the New York times is taking editorial

00:17:14.560 direction from the Biden campaign. And they want us to believe that they are a trustworthy news site.

00:17:21.000 Alyssa Milano, the leader of me too, who led protests against Kavanaugh said that she's still going to

00:17:26.700 support Joe Biden. That's amazing. Remember, as a good reminder for all of us, if we didn't already

00:17:34.160 know this, leftism is hollow. It's built on nothing. It's built on virtue signaling. So that means that

00:17:42.300 it's all empty talk. Very few, not all, but very few leftists actually believe or put into practice

00:17:50.980 what they're saying. So that's why Bernie Sanders, for example, has three houses and preaches about

00:17:56.280 the evils of the rich. That's why Nancy Pelosi will talk about the need for the rich to pay their 1.00

00:18:01.460 fair share while she's swimming in her millions of dollars, doing a PSA about coronavirus in front

00:18:07.000 of her two $24,000 refrigerators or freezers, refrigerator freezers that have a $5 a pop ice cream 0.84

00:18:16.920 cartons in them. Like while 22 million people are out of work. I mean, it's just amazing. It's why

00:18:23.500 Chris Cuomo can talk to you about the moral imperative of staying locked down while he is

00:18:29.620 going to public with coronavirus. It's why democratic elites, liberals in Hollywood talk about the

00:18:35.620 immorality and the racism of building a wall while all living in gated homes and communities 0.99

00:18:41.720 themselves. It's why they talk about climate change and still fly private jets. It's why they talk about

00:18:46.440 taking people's guns away, but they still used armed security. It's why they claim to be for

00:18:51.620 every form of sexuality and love and blah, blah, blah, and mostly lead very traditional normal lives

00:18:58.880 themselves. It's why they talk about the existence of 79 genders, but still have their own gender reveal

00:19:04.080 parties when they're pregnant to announce whether or not they are having a boy or a girl. There was this

00:19:08.960 article in an outlet called Mel Magazine titled, Why Won't Woke Boys Pay for Sex? About a trans 0.99

00:19:15.560 prostitute that learned that his feminist male friends would talk about making sex work, legalized 0.99

00:19:21.480 sex work. It's real work, but they wouldn't actually pay for prostitutes because they saw it as immoral. 0.99

00:19:26.580 It's why even though liberals talk about importance of diversity and the evils of whiteness and the 0.97

00:19:32.860 patriarchy, they have nominated an old white rich dude to run as their nominee for the president of the

00:19:40.040 United States. And you know what's hilarious about that last point? Pew Research surveyed Democrats

00:19:45.320 asked them if it bothers them that their nominee is an old white man. Most of them actually said

00:19:50.720 no, 59 percent, and no, it doesn't bother me at all. Then you see the breakdown by education in this

00:19:56.940 survey. The more degrees you have, the more likely you are to be bothered by the fact that Biden is an

00:20:04.100 old white guy. 58 percent of post-grad Democrats say it bothers them versus only 24 percent of high

00:20:09.280 school educated Democrats. Doesn't it say something about our higher education in this country that you

00:20:14.260 get more and more stupid the more degrees you have? The younger you are, the more it bothers you, 1.00

00:20:19.680 the survey says. And let's look at the breakdown of race. Which race does it bother the most that Biden

00:20:24.700 is an old white guy? Is it black people? No. 72 percent of black Democrats say that they don't care 0.97

00:20:30.760 that Biden is an old white man. Only 28 percent care. Hispanic people? No. 70 percent of Hispanic 0.76

00:20:37.100 Democrats don't care that Biden is an old white man. Only 30 percent care. It's white people.

00:20:42.120 White 41 percent of white Democrats care that Biden is an old white man. They would prefer some more 0.52

00:20:49.100 diverse intersectional candidate. And this is true, guys, of almost every social, cultural, political issue

00:20:56.880 out there. The most liberal, extreme, leftist, radical people in the country on almost every single issue

00:21:04.380 is metropolitan, highly educated white people. They are the most paternalistic bigots in the country. 0.94

00:21:13.200 Every stance they hold they claim they are doing out of compassion for the marginalized minority when

00:21:18.740 the marginalized minority very often doesn't even hold the same view as them. So look at the

00:21:23.540 circumstances on things like transgenderism, gay marriage, religion, capitalism. The black and 1.00

00:21:28.900 Hispanic communities in this country are far more moderate, far more conservative and hesitant to

00:21:34.020 embrace the tenets of leftism than white liberals are, even though they tend to vote Democrat.

00:21:39.260 The truth is that that liberal white millennials with master's degrees are the elites in the country

00:21:44.860 who honestly resent minorities more than the conservatives that they accuse of being bigots.

00:21:51.160 They think they know better. They think that they know what's best for minorities, that they know 1.00

00:21:56.240 what's best for the marginalized. They're the biggest stuck-up, bigots, self-righteous, biggest in the 0.90

00:22:03.600 country. They purport that all of these far-left ideals that they themselves don't typically abide by in

00:22:10.340 their own lives but nevertheless want to force upon other people are best for everyone. They say that they're

00:22:17.040 doing it for the sake of the minorities who by the way don't even agree with them. This is what the 0.96

00:22:22.200 Democratic Party has been about and I would say it's increasingly until now but it's been about in

00:22:28.080 some sense since the era of LBJ patronizing minorities who are poor promising to do things for

00:22:35.600 them to give them stuff only to gain more money and power themselves and never accomplishing anything

00:22:41.920 that they promise that they'll do. Think about all the Democratic-run cities with large minority 0.66

00:22:46.320 communities. Detroit, Chicago, New York, Compton, Baltimore. Have Democrats who have run these areas

00:22:51.620 for decades actually made these cities better? Have they done anything for their constituents? No.

00:22:57.280 Now I want to talk about AOC and something completely ridiculous that she recently said but before I do that

00:23:03.800 let me tell you guys about hydrants. So you might not know this but 75% of us are chronically

00:23:09.740 hydrated. I actually feel a little bit dehydrated right now so I need to be drinking hydrant even

00:23:15.620 more often. If you want to kick the coffee habit, you're worried about your energy levels, if you want

00:23:21.140 to avoid morning sluggishness, that midday slump, you need to make sure that you are hydrated and

00:23:26.420 hydrant makes that really easy. It creates flavored electrolyte packets that you mix directly into your

00:23:31.220 water to make hydrating your body easy and delicious. Each rapid hydration mix has the four essential

00:23:37.220 electrolytes your body needs. So sodium, potassium, magnesium, zinc to help you hydrate quickly and

00:23:43.340 stay hydrated all day. Hydrant is also backed by research. It is vegan. You've got nothing to worry

00:23:50.040 about. There's no artificial sweeteners. You just start with a buck a day for a packet for a 30-day

00:23:57.180 supply. You can save even more with a monthly subscription. 25% off your first order. Go to

00:24:16.600 claimed that only in America, only in America would the president who said liberate, because you know,

00:24:24.040 the president tweeted liberate, liberate, liberate, liberate each state. And she said only in America

00:24:29.380 would that mean that Americans have to go back to work? Here's she, here is she saying that in that

00:24:35.420 interview. There's a lot that we could be doing right now, but ultimately the, I think when we talk

00:24:43.100 about this idea of reopening society, you know, only in America does the president, when the president

00:24:50.320 tweets about liberation, does he mean go back to work? When we, you know, have this discussion about

00:24:56.260 going, going back or reopening? I think a lot of people should just say no.

00:25:02.300 Okay. So she thinks that people should boycott, boycott work. And here's, I know that you're

00:25:08.920 thinking what I'm thinking that that's absolutely stupid and ridiculous. She's so naive. Like she's so 1.00

00:25:13.820 insulated, not understanding that people are going to go back to work because they have to feed their

00:25:18.380 families, but also people want to work. The communists and socialists are always denying human

00:25:23.660 nature. And that's why the regimes run by socialism and communism always end up with subversion or

00:25:30.200 suffering. That's, that's how socialist and communist regimes always end up with subversion by the people

00:25:36.780 or suffering by the people because it denies and suppresses human nature. I talked about, I think it

00:25:41.680 was on Wednesday, how in North Korea during the famine, all of them were setting up these illegal 0.94

00:25:46.860 markets, even though they were communists and they'd only learned that capitalism is evil. They all became

00:25:52.000 capitalists because they needed to survive. And also they needed to be able to work not just for

00:25:56.800 money, but also for morale. Socialists and communists do not, they don't understand that,

00:26:02.180 especially the kind of brand of socialist that AOC is. So this is the socialistic view of work,

00:26:10.420 just so you can kind of put this in some kind of framework and understand that everyone who shares

00:26:14.900 her, her political ideas feel this, feel a certain, a certain degree of this way. They see work as

00:26:22.480 amoral. So not necessarily immoral, although I would say that AOC sees a lot of work as immoral and how

00:26:29.780 certain work is treated as immoral, but she doesn't see, she doesn't see work as inherently good or

00:26:35.360 inherently virtuous. She doesn't believe, I'm sure if you press her on this, that people have to work,

00:26:41.600 they have to be productive in order to have morale. Otherwise our bodies, our minds, our spirits

00:26:48.380 atrophy. Like she believes in her green new deal, she said that there needs to be economic security 0.91

00:26:54.300 for people who not just can't work, but who don't want to work. So she thinks that people should be

00:26:59.360 able to just get paid to terribly watercolor if they want to do that. And that should be perfectly

00:27:05.200 moral, but human beings are made to contribute. They're made to do something of worth that doesn't

00:27:11.600 have to be paid work. So if you're a stay-at-home mom, if you're a volunteer worker, like if you

00:27:16.260 volunteer at church and you don't actually get a salary, that is considered the kind of productive,

00:27:20.900 beautifying, nurturing, maximizing work that God has called people to. AOC, I know she claims to have

00:27:29.100 some sort of religion. She doesn't have a biblical worldview. I think we know that based on her

00:27:33.640 understanding of gender, abortion, marriage, all that kind of stuff, but also based on her

00:27:39.120 socialistic outlook, socialism and a biblical worldview are always going to contradict each

00:27:43.500 other. You can go back and listen to my episode titled socialism for a more holistic, uh, holistic

00:27:49.580 explanation of that. But we talk about that a lot. She views work as amoral. So you don't have to do

00:27:55.040 anything productive in order to live any kind of meaningful life. And the human spirit and the human

00:28:00.820 mind doesn't necessarily need productive work in order to survive and thrive. But the Bible tells us

00:28:06.240 differently. If you look at the creation accounts, God made work, uh, God made Adam have a role, a

00:28:12.680 productive role before the fall. Work is not a product of sin. Work is not a product of the fall.

00:28:19.020 Yes, of course there's sinful work and there's work that glorifies God, but work is inherently good.

00:28:24.780 Work is a pre fall invention of God that he gave men and women to do. And again, that can be work in the

00:28:31.880 home that maybe work outside of the home, but God made us to do work that glorifies him, that is

00:28:37.660 productive, that adds to the world around us. The small plot of the universe on which God has placed

00:28:44.380 each individual. Our responsibility is to do everything we can for the glory of God, for the good

00:28:50.060 of other people. That is what work is supposed to be. It can be meaningful, whether you are a janitor,

00:28:56.520 whether you are a CPA, whether you are a blogger, anything that has the capacity to be done

00:29:02.020 excellently, morally, according to God's standards for his glory is meaningful and good work. It's the

00:29:08.400 AOCs and the socialists of the world who actually demean certain kinds of work because they think that

00:29:14.540 it's not, uh, dignified enough. So they think that minimum wage workers should be paid, you know,

00:29:20.240 $60,000 a year because it's not dignified enough to make a minimum wage. There's a lot of

00:29:26.080 economic misunderstanding among her and socialists that we can talk about, but that is where she is

00:29:31.520 coming from when she says people should have boycott work, not understanding that people need

00:29:36.080 work for their souls to thrive and survive because she doesn't have a biblical framework for which she 1.00

00:29:43.340 is understanding things. She has a morally relative socialistic framework, but as we as Christians know

00:29:50.240 work is not immoral. It is not immoral in a general sense. Work is inherently good. It is virtuous. We

00:29:57.640 all have to be productive. We were not made to be bumps on a log. We were not made to exist. We were

00:30:02.920 not made to just watercolor. If that's not your actual career and people aren't buying it, like we're not

00:30:09.020 made to just exist and have the government take care of us. We are made to actually do something and

00:30:15.060 to make the world around us better. That can be a small circle of the world. That might be a large

00:30:19.560 sphere of influence, whatever, you know, God has given us to be able to steward, but you should

00:30:25.660 read the book AOC and everyone out there, Every Good Endeavor by Tim Keller. He explains this really

00:30:32.020 well, the biblical view of work. I love that book, Every Good Endeavor by Tim Keller, AOC. Highly

00:30:37.820 recommend it. I know you're a huge fan of Relatable, but this is a radical idea. This is an extreme idea.

00:30:43.660 This is how every socialistic regime has started by saying, oh, we're going to take care of you.

00:30:49.300 You don't have to do anything you don't want to do. We should have this huge social safety net at the

00:30:54.120 same time as letting everyone in from every other country. Those two ideas also contradict each

00:30:59.420 other, but there's AOC once again, not knowing what she's talking about. Okay. I do want to talk

00:31:04.800 about, um, this, this crazy idea, speaking of communism and just the craziness with, with the

00:31:11.960 socialistic mindset. So we talked about on Wednesday, how there are Harvard professors who are trying

00:31:18.520 to push for a ban on, uh, they're trying to push for a ban on homeschooling because they think that

00:31:25.860 homeschooling is dangerous because 90% of homeschooling teachers, this professor Elizabeth

00:31:30.560 Bartholet said are conservative Christians, very scary. And they learn things about Bibles and about 1.00

00:31:38.500 the Bible and the constitution. And it's just very frightening. And they obviously want the state to

00:31:45.700 have control over your children. Elizabeth Bartholet argued that the government has a right to educate

00:31:51.460 your children. Would love to hear where she came up with that idea and that it's very scary. She says

00:31:58.300 for parents to have authoritarian control over their children from the ages of zero to 18. There were all

00:32:03.680 these myths about homeschooling in the article. If you want to hear my more thorough analysis of her

00:32:09.300 perspective and the questions I have for professor Bartholet, you can go back and listen to Wednesday's

00:32:15.060 podcast, a little tyrants everywhere, because that's what these people are like. They are tyrants. 0.98

00:32:19.580 And it's just funny. They're arguing also that the government has a right to educate your children.

00:32:24.740 So she is saying that children should go to public school. She's teaching at a private school. So

00:32:30.240 that's a little confusing. Now, Harvard is having a conference in June about the scariness and the

00:32:37.680 terribleness of homeschooling. And James Dwyer, who is going to be moderating that, he has something to

00:32:46.420 say about parenthood. The state needs to be the ultimate guarantor of a child's well-being. There's 0.51

00:32:54.520 just no alternative to that. The reason parent-child relationships exist is because the state confers

00:33:00.920 legal parenthood on people. So I'm hoping you caught that. He says the only reason why the parent-child 0.94

00:33:06.840 relationship exists is because state confers legal parenthood. Well, no, God created parenthood,

00:33:14.340 the parent-child relationship. Now, even if I'm guessing he's an atheist, I'm just going to assume 1.00

00:33:18.800 that I can kind of pick it up from his view on parenthood and the family. But even if you don't

00:33:24.460 believe in the Bible, even if you don't believe that it's the word of God, it's still a historic text.

00:33:29.560 And you know it existed thousands of years ago. It was written thousands of years ago. And so you

00:33:34.540 know just from reading that that the parent-child relationship existed thousands of years ago. There

00:33:40.140 were other texts, not just the Bible, who talk about the parent-child relationship. It doesn't

00:33:44.820 make any sense historically, sociologically. It doesn't make any sense to say the only reason the

00:33:51.820 parent-child relationship exists is because the state confers that. So you're saying that only in

00:33:56.120 places where the state confers a parent-child relationship, the parent-child relationship

00:33:59.300 exists. No, that's just not true. That's not true. I mean, look again, we've talked about this

00:34:04.440 before, but look in the communistic country. So look at Cambodia, how they tried to break up the

00:34:09.960 family, how they tried to take children away, indoctrinate the children, make them wards of the

00:34:14.560 state and defenders of the state, how they had to break up churches and break up any concept of

00:34:19.580 religion. The same thing happened in North Korea that ended in suffering. Children have to be taken 0.89

00:34:25.640 care of. They have to be taught. They have to be instilled with values. And like I asked on Wednesday,

00:34:30.760 who do you think is better? Just any kind, just any logical person out there. Do you think it's

00:34:34.780 better for the parent who had this child themselves, adopted this child, whatever they care more about

00:34:42.440 this child than anything else? They would do absolutely anything for the child. They would die

00:34:45.700 for this child a thousand times. They would do anything to make sure the child is happy. That's how the

00:34:50.900 parents feel about this child. You do not know love. I can't, you can't even explain the love

00:34:55.820 that a parent has for their child. Of course, there are anomalies, there are abusive parents and

00:35:00.520 neglectful parents and all of that. But for the most part, parents will love their children. They

00:35:04.820 will do absolutely anything for their children. So do you think that unit, the parents who absolutely

00:35:10.840 love their kids is better for teaching the kids values? Or do you think the state who doesn't know

00:35:17.840 your kids, doesn't know your kid's name, isn't going to cry if your kid dies from cancer, doesn't care

00:35:21.880 if your kid goes to college or not, except beyond what it can add to its statistics to say, oh, this

00:35:28.420 public school is, is doing so great, who doesn't know how your child learns, doesn't know all the

00:35:34.980 ins and outs of your child's learning ability and capacities, who is going to teach your child about 0.97

00:35:41.060 anal sex when they're 10 years old and mandatory sex ed. Like, do you think that the state who's 0.98

00:35:47.820 going to do all those things, who really doesn't care on a personal level about your child or the

00:35:53.500 parent who would absolutely do anything for the child? Do you think, which one do you think, like,

00:35:58.740 out of those two options, which one do you think is better for teaching the children? I'm going to go

00:36:04.100 with the parents. But this is what communism, socialism, this kind of collectivist worldview seeks to do.

00:36:11.480 It tries to break up everything that breaks up the family, breaks up religion, breaks up community,

00:36:19.120 anything, any kind of institution that an individual can derive values from outside of the state.

00:36:27.800 Communism and socialism, in order to exist, has to seek to obliterate. So it's going to make fun of

00:36:33.900 you deriving values or worldview from faith. It's going to try to minimize faith. It definitely

00:36:39.060 doesn't like homeschooling because that's subversive. You are not indoctrinating your child

00:36:44.180 with status values. And so it's all about control. It's all making sure that individuals only gain

00:36:51.420 their morality, not from God, not from their families, not from private school, not from

00:36:55.980 homeschool, not from local communities, but from the state. So they can control you, get you to do

00:37:02.740 whatever they want you to do. That's what this conference is about. Of course, this person,

00:37:08.080 neither does Elizabeth Bartholet gives any data for if, uh, homeschool kids really don't perform

00:37:14.980 as well as public school kids. I mean, you're not going to want to look at that data because it's

00:37:18.880 going to be obvious. And like, don't even let's talk. Don't even talk to me about, Oh, homeschool

00:37:25.400 kids might be abused. Of course that might happen. Let's talk about the abuse that's happening

00:37:28.760 in public schools. Um, okay. I think that's all I have time for today. I'm sorry, you guys. I know you

00:37:35.040 guys wanted me to talk about out of shadows too. I really wanted to talk about what the Pope also

00:37:39.740 said about earth day. Maybe we'll talk about that on Monday. Maybe that'll be like the,

00:37:44.900 the theology Monday day. I don't know what I'm going to talk about on Monday, but I'll try to work in.

00:37:50.220 I'll try to work in both of those things really soon. Cause I know you guys want to hear me talk

00:37:54.060 about that. Um, I hope that you guys have an awesome weekend. It's great weather where I am.

00:37:58.700 And I'm really excited about that. There is hope to be had. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

00:38:04.200 We are getting, we're getting there. We're getting there. Things are looking up, I think,

00:38:09.620 and I'm praying for all of you. Thankful for all of you. Um, if you love this podcast,

00:38:14.420 it would mean a lot to me. If you left five stars on iTunes, I will see you guys back here

00:38:20.360 on Monday. Thanks for listening.
