In this episode of Relatable, I talk about the Democratic response to Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) being stalked in the bathroom by an illegal immigrant who is also her constituent and demanding that she vote yes on a bill that would force her to vote yes.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Wednesday. Hope everyone has had a wonderful week. Go
00:00:13.680 listen to yesterday's 500th episode if you haven't, or better yet, watch on YouTube because
00:00:19.060 there's a lot of things to watch per your feedback. We are back, by the way, if you're
00:00:23.560 watching on YouTube right now, we are back to the old camera, but we're still going to
00:00:27.560 We're working on some things. We're working on some things to make it look a little bit
00:00:34.280 just even better, even better than it already does. Okay, today we are talking about a few
00:00:39.900 things. Honestly, as I am speaking right now, I don't know everything we're going to talk
00:00:44.380 about today. I haven't touched on Kyrsten Sinema being stalked in the bathroom by supposedly
00:00:50.400 an illegal immigrant who is also her constituent who is demanding that she vote yes on this bill.
00:00:56.840 I'll talk a little bit about that. And then I think if we have time, I'm going to talk
00:01:01.460 about the whole forced vasectomy bill that you guys have been asking me about. And also
00:01:09.260 on Monday, we're going to talk about the DOJ being mobilized or weaponized against parents
00:01:17.760 who are speaking up about things that they don't like at school. We're not going to be
00:01:22.880 able to get to that this week. Tomorrow, we're going to talk about big tech and that whole
00:01:26.460 Facebook whistleblower and what all of that means and why it matters. I'm feeling I'm in
00:01:32.940 a little bit of a cheeky mood. There have just been so many things over the past few months
00:01:37.680 that have just made me so frustrated and so flabbergasted. I really my policy now hasn't
00:01:43.400 always been my policy, but I really try not to cuss in private or in public. Obviously, I
00:01:48.900 don't on on this podcast. But I that's my policy is not to cuss because Ephesians says that we
00:01:56.360 should let no corrupting talk come out of our mouths only that which is good for building up.
00:02:02.320 And yet there have been so many moments over the past few months, so many moments in this
00:02:06.060 presidency where I just like the Holy Spirit has been working overtime in overdrive to hold my tongue
00:02:13.620 because so much that we see is just so evil. It's so depraved. It's so wicked. It's so wrong.
00:02:19.520 We're going to go through some of those moments at one point, maybe in November. We're just going to
00:02:24.100 go through all of the radical things that Joe Biden's administration have done, maybe some that
00:02:28.880 not everyone picked up on. Oh, man. And some of the things that I have some of the things that I've
00:02:37.640 been seeing over the past few days that we were going to talk about today have given me that same
00:02:43.840 feeling. In particular, this crazy bill or really their two bills, the Build Back Better bill. And
00:02:52.900 then there is the infrastructure bill that Democrats are trying to get passed. And the things in it are
00:02:58.780 just they're crazy. It's absurd. And how much it costs is absurd. And that is why Kyrsten Sinema,
00:03:05.060 as a Democrat in the Senate, is getting harassed because she doesn't know if she is going to vote
00:03:10.240 yes. And they really need her. And they also need moderate Democrat Joe Manchin's yes in order to
00:03:17.460 pass these bills. So let me let me explain it to you how CBS News explains it, because they do a pretty
00:03:24.680 good job of breaking this down. So they say House Democrats have taken President Biden's first term
00:03:30.060 domestic policy priorities and dropped them into one big 2,465 page bill that aims to expand the
00:03:36.240 nation's social safety net and combat climate change. Because the $3.5 trillion bill is opposed
00:03:43.700 by Republicans, Democrats are trying to enact it through a budgetary process called reconciliation,
00:03:48.920 solely with Democratic support. But this would require a yes vote from every Senate Democrat. And two
00:03:55.640 of them, Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin, say they won't support it unless the price comes down. So
00:04:01.640 this bill includes all kinds of costly items on the Democratic wish list, things that sound good. But
00:04:07.560 whenever the government comes in and says, hey, we're going to pay for this, that means that they also
00:04:12.020 control it. It is almost impossible to allow the government the power to give you something without
00:04:18.780 also allowing the government the power to take something away, namely your choice and liberty. So
00:04:24.120 even though free pre-K child care, two years of free community college, ways to allegedly combat
00:04:30.500 climate change, Medicare expansion, all of these things might sound really good, but it just means
00:04:37.200 a huge, uncontrollable bureaucratic state, bigger than it is now, that controls more aspects of our
00:04:47.860 lives. And as a conservative, I am against that. I'm not against all government spending,
00:04:53.180 obviously. I'm not against all programs. I believe that there is an important role in
00:04:58.140 the government, and especially when it comes to incentivizing the making of the family.
00:05:04.100 But I also believe that we have to responsibly limit the powers, limit the authorities,
00:05:13.240 limit the obligations of the government, because even things that sound good can actually inhibit our
00:05:20.340 liberty. And that is very important to me. Liberty is very important to me. And we can see
00:05:24.920 how this has happened in other countries around the world, that when you give the government
00:05:30.580 too much power to do the things that sound good, to take care of you in a way that really shouldn't
00:05:37.500 be their role, eventually you don't have the same freedom to depend upon yourselves and your
00:05:48.340 money-making ability and to make the choices that you want to make for your family as you did before.
00:05:53.860 It always starts out sounding really good with really good intentions. And we don't even have
00:05:58.560 to look at other countries like Venezuela or Cuba that started in the same way. We can look at the
00:06:03.700 United States and how the welfare state has grown since the 1960s. It has not eliminated poverty. It
00:06:09.660 hasn't made life better. And actually, you can see, for example, the deterioration of the family
00:06:15.120 really started in the 1960s along the same path as the growth of the welfare state. That's true for
00:06:23.140 both white and black families, but it has disproportionately affected the black family. And so
00:06:28.940 just be careful when you hear, well, why wouldn't you want free child care? Why wouldn't you want free
00:06:37.140 community college? All of these things are compassionate and good. Remember that you are
00:06:41.280 giving responsibilities to the government that the government shouldn't have. You're giving power
00:06:45.980 to the government that will then be used against you always. It is basically a law of nature.
00:06:51.540 So how they're paying for this huge, huge bill is, according to CBS, the corporate tax rate would rise
00:06:58.760 from 21% to 26%, and the top income tax rate for Americans making over $400,000 would increase from 37%
00:07:05.520 to 39.6%. The top capital gains rate would also go from 20% to 25%. Democrats are also looking to beef
00:07:13.480 up tax enforcement by the Internal Revenue Service, IRS, as a vehicle for paying for the package. So
00:07:20.600 if you make more than $400,000 a year, that's a lot in some places. Some places in the country that's
00:07:27.100 really not a whole lot of money. Your taxes are going to increase. And while I'm not completely
00:07:34.240 incensed by raising the corporate tax rate, that does end up trickling down to the consumer by raising
00:07:41.720 the cost of products, which we're already seeing happen right now. We're already in some kind of
00:07:46.420 economic, a lot of economic trouble right now. So Manchin has already flip-flopped on whether or not
00:07:53.820 he is a yes on this. He did say that he is not going to sign on to it if it doesn't include the Hyde
00:07:58.600 Amendment, which prohibits our federal tax dollars from funding most abortions. Biden, who used to be
00:08:04.280 for the Hyde Amendment, now he says, I don't really care if this bill comes to me, you know, with the
00:08:09.240 Hyde Amendment or not, I'm going to sign it. Manchin, like I said, is a moderate Democrat. He is senator
00:08:14.640 from the very red West Virginia, went for Trump by like 70%. But Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, I don't
00:08:23.100 know how to pronounce her last name, of Washington, chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus,
00:08:26.960 told CNN that she cannot support a bill that includes the Hyde Amendment. So Democrats are
00:08:31.720 really having some intra-party fighting right now between the progressive wing of the party,
00:08:37.540 which really is pushing and leading the Democratic Party, including Joe Biden, and the more moderate
00:08:45.880 part of the Democratic Party. A lot of people thought that Joe Biden was going to be the moderate. He was
00:08:52.500 going to bring people together. He has been the exact opposite of any kind of unifying
00:08:56.780 president. And he has certainly governed to the left exactly as we told you he was going to do.
00:09:03.140 Sinema, as we said at the beginning, is a moderate Democrat from Purple Red Arizona. She says that the
00:09:08.260 cost is too much for this. And because of that, she is being harassed. Now, Kyrsten Sinema is not some
00:09:13.880 secret conservative. She is literally, I'm not exaggerating, she is a bisexual pagan witch,
00:09:20.080 okay, who protested the Iraq war with a group of witches. Like, she even refused to put her hand
00:09:27.880 on the Bible when she was being sworn in in 2019. She put her hand on, like, the Constitution and the
00:09:34.300 laws of Arizona or something like that. She is certainly pro-choice. She is liberal in many senses
00:09:40.920 of the word. But she presides over a very, you know, a purple slash red state. And so that is how,
00:09:51.480 I mean, she's got to govern that way or she's got to represent that way. And good for her for
00:09:56.540 representing the values of her constituency. But people on the far left, which, like I said,
00:10:02.280 is dominating the Democratic Party, at least in the leadership, they don't like that.
00:10:05.920 They don't like that about her. And so they are harassing her. Let me play you a little clip of
00:10:12.200 her being harassed in the bathroom. We need solutions to build that better plan. We have
00:10:17.900 the solutions that we need. We knocked on doors for you to get you elected. And just how we got
00:10:22.800 you elected, we can get you out of office if you don't support what you promised us.
00:10:27.180 So Biden was asked about this. And Biden said, you know, this is according to The Hill. He didn't
00:10:32.780 agree with activists who followed Senator Kyrsten Sinema into a bathroom over the weekend to protest,
00:10:37.640 you know, to protest her position on the reconciliation bill. But he says it happens to
00:10:44.140 everybody. The only people it doesn't happen to are people who have Secret Service standing around
00:10:49.700 them. So it's part of the process. Part of the process, apparently, is a woman being filmed in the
00:10:57.340 bathroom. All right. So now the feminists, you know, the left wing feminists in the Democratic Party,
00:11:03.520 AOC, the, you know, pundits at CNN, they all came out and they said, you know, this is too far. You
00:11:08.660 shouldn't be harassing Kyrsten. Oh, oh, wait. Oh, I'm so sorry. I got that wrong. I got that wrong.
00:11:14.400 They didn't do that at all. They said, no, this is this is fine. This is OK. It's OK to harass a woman
00:11:20.180 in the bathroom. Kyrsten Powers of CNN. She is also a professing progressive Christian who,
00:11:26.420 you know, basically says that in order to be a true follower of Jesus, you have to be on the left
00:11:31.240 and align yourself with all of these Democratic Party, you know, dogmas and agenda items. She also
00:11:38.460 wrote a book. This is ironic. You'll see why when I read you the tweet. She wrote a book on grace and
00:11:44.500 getting out of this toxic political moment. Well, she tweeted this. I'm flabbergasted by people who think
00:11:49.400 a U.S. senator has been harmed by constituents trying to get her to understand how her actions
00:11:54.700 affect actual lives. If she didn't want to be confronted in a bathroom, she could have stopped
00:11:59.940 and talked to them outside the bathroom. So basically she was asking for it because she
00:12:05.760 didn't want to respond to harassers and give them the time of day, which I understand. Why would you
00:12:10.020 reward that kind of behavior? She actually deserved someone filming her while she was peeing in a stall
00:12:15.580 like you're she's in the stall. You don't actually see that. But following someone into the bathroom
00:12:21.380 filming while they're going to the bathroom, harassing them apparently is is justified.
00:12:29.900 Jezebel, the esteemed feminist rag, said this on Twitter. Absolutely bully Kirsten Sinema outside of
00:12:37.460 her bathroom stall. You know, what I say to this is if your answer to the question, should a woman have
00:12:45.740 privacy in the bathroom? Does a woman deserve the right to privacy in a bathroom? If your answer to
00:12:50.740 that question is anything other than a simple yes, you are a predator. OK, you're a freaking weirdo.
00:12:57.060 Please don't act like you care about women or you care about privacy or you care about feminism.
00:13:02.000 If you think that someone complaining about their senator's vote justifies them following them and
00:13:08.980 filming them in a bathroom. Come on now. George Takai, who is I think that's how you say his name.
00:13:18.320 He is, you know, an actor or something. He has so many brain worm takes all the time. But he said the
00:13:23.800 right is outraged that Kirsten Sinema was followed into a bathroom by some protesters, but supports
00:13:28.020 paying $10,000 bounties to spy on and report women seeking abortions. Got it. Well, no, that's not
00:13:36.040 what the Texas law does, George, as if you cared. But a woman cannot actually she can't be she can't
00:13:44.740 get in trouble under the Texas law. The women who seek abortions really that has nothing to do with the
00:13:50.720 law. It's people who aid and abet getting that abortion. They can be sued under that law. But a woman
00:13:56.480 getting an abortion can't. And so that is not even a good point, even though he tried. There was an
00:14:01.380 attempt, George. OK, we're going to read a little bit more about this commentary about Kirsten Sinema
00:14:07.100 being harassed in a bathroom in one second. OK, so in National Review, they talk about this whole
00:14:16.380 Kirsten Sinema debacle and how it's just not normal. And the fact that there are people on the left
00:14:21.820 defending it is just it's insane. So they talk about what happened. It was on the campus of
00:14:28.380 Arizona State University where Sinema teaches a class. And the article in National Review says
00:14:33.700 the condemnation was, well, non-existent. Reporting on the incident, Newsweek led with the fact that as
00:14:39.080 of last night, the video had been viewed four million times on social media. At The Washington
00:14:43.040 Post, the key takeaway was that frustration over Senator Kirsten Sinema's refusal to fall in line
00:14:47.920 with other Senate Democrats and past legislation central to President Biden's agenda had boiled
00:14:53.440 over. On Twitter, meanwhile, the Daily Beast contended merely that Sinema had locked herself
00:14:58.440 in the bathroom to avoid young activists. So Charles Cook in National Review points out what I think is
00:15:05.940 so obvious to all of us at this point. He says, one imagines that this might be more obvious that,
00:15:11.800 you know, there should be some condemnation and pushback to this. This might be more obvious if the
00:15:16.700 politics were slightly different. If instead of a left winger berating a moderate Democrat in the
00:15:21.240 loo, a right winger had berated a moderate Republican, it would have been the biggest
00:15:24.860 news of the year. Within minutes, the occurrence would have had a name. The Arizona attack, perhaps.
00:15:29.420 Within a day, it would have been deemed to be representative of everything that was wrong
00:15:32.760 with the American right and with the United States itself. Within a week, we would have been
00:15:36.980 drowning in breathless TV segments, tenditious op-eds, and mawkish lectures about the sanctity of
00:15:44.120 democracy in America. I can hear the rhetoric now. He says, change a handful of inconvenient details
00:15:49.640 in this incident would be cast as an attack on women, on the LGBT community, and on our democracy
00:15:55.780 itself. Put the motivating criticisms in the mouth of Tucker Carlson instead of Chris Hayes of MSNBC.
00:16:02.200 An episode would be widely held as the logical endpoint of the climate of hatred that has been whipped up.
00:16:08.640 Attribute the passion to a MAGA type instead of a progressive, and it would be said to evoke the
00:16:13.420 painful memories of January 6th. Noting the event, the Washington Post concluded that it was
00:16:18.380 representative of the dissatisfaction that many Arizona Democrats and Democrats across the country
00:16:23.160 have voiced over Sinema's resistance toward the reconciliation bill. Is there anyone alive who
00:16:28.120 believes that the Post would have been this sanguine if the roles had been reversed? Absolutely not. I
00:16:33.680 mean, AOC every other week talks about how someone glanced the wrong way in her direction and she
00:16:38.300 thought she was about to be assaulted. I mean, obviously that's hyperbole, but she is always talking about how
00:16:43.180 any legitimate criticism about her is just because of her identity as some BIPOC immigrant woman. She
00:16:51.080 can't actually take any critiques as being legitimate or being sincere. She doesn't take any of it to
00:16:57.480 heart. She always falls back on her identity and the media just says, oh yes, AOC, it is so hard to be you.
00:17:04.420 Oh my goodness. Please just tell us about how oppressed you are as you are driving away to
00:17:12.260 one of your homes and your Tesla. So we see a lot more sympathy towards people who are on the far left
00:17:18.540 coming from the media rather than someone like Kirsten Sinema, who is still a Democrat, like she is still
00:17:23.520 a liberal, but she's a little bit heterodox. Like she doesn't fall in line. She doesn't play by the rules.
00:17:30.420 And now if you're heterodox in any way, like if you are in the center, you are considered a
00:17:35.880 conservative. Like we've seen this with the demonizing of someone like Joe Rogan, who is a
00:17:40.820 liberal in most senses of the word, but does he get on board with the fact that a man can just say that
00:17:46.560 he is a woman and become a woman? Or does he get on board with the fact that we are now censoring
00:17:52.360 therapeutics that have been proven in many cases to work and mitigating the severity of COVID?
00:18:00.420 Does he get on board with authoritarianism? No. And so now he's labeled this like right wing crazy
00:18:06.540 person, conspiracy theorist when he's really not right wing. Someone on Instagram said they were
00:18:13.320 trolling me and they were actually trolling someone else. And they said, of course you follow Allie Beth
00:18:17.480 Stucky. She's the white girl, Joe Rogan. And I said, oh my, oh my goodness. You mean like the most
00:18:22.600 successful podcaster in the world? Oh, what a diss. Again, there was an attempt. There was an attempt
00:18:29.000 to troll, but I just want to say thank you. The reality is Joe Rogan and I are very, very different.
00:18:35.420 We have totally different values in a lot of ways, totally different politics, but like you're just
00:18:40.840 lumped in with right wing conservative people. If you just are slightly heterodox, I'm fine with that.
00:18:47.460 Let's take the liberals who don't fall in line with every aspect of progressivism. I said this on
00:18:53.920 Instagram, like Russell Brand, another person. I said this on Instagram that, you know what,
00:18:59.220 politically speaking, you are my people. If you are anti-authoritarian and you are doing your best to
00:19:05.020 live not by lies, the people that are not my people, politically speaking, are the people who
00:19:13.520 can't not live by lies. They just believe every new progressive narrative when it comes to race and
00:19:22.120 racism, when it comes to identity, when it comes to gender and so-called gender identity, when it comes
00:19:27.700 to every narrative about COVID, when it comes to every policy that is proposed by the left, they just
00:19:36.160 jump on board with all of that. And no matter how authoritarian it is, the only response do they
00:19:40.880 have to that they have to left wing authoritarianism is but Trump. Those are, I just can't. Or the people
00:19:46.840 who say that an unborn child is just a clump of cells, like at least be honest about what you're
00:19:51.080 talking about. Those people, you're not my people. The people who are my people, politically speaking,
00:19:56.620 we can disagree on a whole host of things. Like we can disagree on lots of different policies,
00:20:00.700 lots of different cultural issues. At the end of the day, like I'm a Christian,
00:20:03.680 that's where my convictions are going to align. But we can like, like we can get along, we can share
00:20:08.420 our country together, we can link arms on the issues that we agree on that matter. We've had a
00:20:13.480 lot of those kinds of people on this podcast, left wing people who refuse to say, for example,
00:20:18.160 that a man can be a woman and vice versa. Okay. Like, we can be united on that front, even if we disagree
00:20:24.960 in other ways. But unfortunately, I just don't know how I don't know how to align with people or to
00:20:33.400 link arms with people who insist that two plus two is five in every way. And so Kirsten Sinema,
00:20:40.140 welcome to the right. Andrew Yang, welcome to the right. Joe Manchin, welcome to the right. You crazy
00:20:46.200 right wing conservative conspiracy theorists. Joe Rogan, Russell Brand, all of you, you know, diehard
00:20:52.180 conservatives. Welcome. Welcome. Kirsten Sinema, she responded to all of this, her bathroom
00:20:59.000 confrontation. She said that the individuals disrupted her classes she was teaching at
00:21:04.440 Arizona State University. She said, you know, we love the First Amendment. That's fine. But this
00:21:09.980 wasn't this wasn't legitimate protest. This is unacceptable, she said, for an activist to instruct
00:21:17.220 their members to jeopardize themselves by engaging in unlawful activities because you are jeopardizing
00:21:21.760 yourself when you break the law. And she says that, you know, she's been committed to creating a safe
00:21:28.220 intellectually challenging environment for her students. And that environment was was breached.
00:21:34.720 And, you know, so she condemned that she was also harassed on an airplane. So she's not a great day.
00:21:41.180 Not a great day for Kirsten for Kirsten Sinema.
00:21:44.920 Okay, so I want to talk about I want to talk about this bill coming from a Democrat, the
00:21:57.200 representative Chris Rabb, and he is deciding that he is going to he's presenting this bill in the state
00:22:11.140 of Pennsylvania. And of course, he has he has pronouns in his profile and his profile picture is
00:22:19.200 wearing a mask in on surprising news. And he has presented this bill that says I will be he says on
00:22:26.320 Twitter, I'll be introducing a bill inspired by Rep Kelly Cassidy that requires all inseminators,
00:22:30.320 because you know, some inseminators in this world can be women to undergo vasectomies, he hashtags
00:22:37.240 vasectomies, hashtag vasectomies, within six weeks of having their third child or 40th birthday, whichever
00:22:42.860 comes first, hashtag repro justice, reproductive rights. So people are freaking out about this. And I
00:22:49.940 understand you're freaking out. This is a parody bill. So he's trying to make the point. He's trying to say
00:22:55.200 that. Oh, so you want to police women's bodies? Why don't we police men's bodies? They're trying
00:23:00.500 to make a point. This isn't like a legitimate law that is going to pass. They think that they're
00:23:05.220 making a clever point. The thing is, is that forcing sterilization is not the same thing as
00:23:10.540 restricting abortion. This just goes to show that it's really the left who doesn't understand biology,
00:23:15.640 where they're feigning ignorance to try to sear their consciences about, you know, what they're
00:23:21.420 actually standing for, which is the brutal slaughter of unborn children. They continue to diminish the
00:23:26.640 life that is being lost in an abortion. Abortion is on a healthcare procedure because healthcare
00:23:31.060 procedures don't intentionally kill anyone. You're killing a baby in an abortion. And when you look at
00:23:37.200 whether it is a tongue in cheek argument by the left or a legitimate argument by the left,
00:23:43.460 every time you bring it back to the baby, there really is no argument. The only honest argument that
00:23:48.640 you can make on the left is not, well, you only care about babies before birth. It's not,
00:23:54.060 well, what about all these policies that you apparently have to support in order to truly be
00:23:58.800 pro-life? It's not, oh, well, it's a clump of cells. All of those are dishonest. All of those are
00:24:03.160 fallacious. We can have conversations about policies that doesn't change the fact that abortion kills
00:24:08.200 a human being. And you need to be able to say why that is. So the only honest argument is to say
00:24:14.580 that you know that it's killing a human being, you know it's killing a defenseless human, and yet you
00:24:21.020 think it's an acceptable killing, then you need to be able to say why. Like, that's the only relevant
00:24:27.180 question when it comes to whether or not you think abortion should be legal. Why do you think it should
00:24:32.060 be legal to kill this innocent human being? Because it's in a mother's womb and not other human
00:24:38.840 beings. Is it location? Is it dependency? Is it size? Is it age? Like, why are any of those factors
00:24:45.580 good enough to justify the killing of a baby? Like, if you saw any of the videos that came out of the
00:24:53.900 women's marches over the weekend of these women saying, like, oh, you know, abortion, there was
00:24:58.360 literally, this was honest, this girl, I posted it on Instagram, she had a sign that said, F them kids.
00:25:04.720 Of course, she had it written out and was just, I mean, I mean this in the most profound sense,
00:25:09.160 like depravity is just ugly. And you could see it like it was visible. It was, it was palpable,
00:25:15.380 just the evil and the wickedness and the hatred and the resentment coming from coming from these
00:25:21.760 women toward children and just the ignorance when they were like, one person was asked, like,
00:25:26.880 why do you think it's okay to dismember a baby in the womb and remove them? And the woman,
00:25:31.840 the protester was like, I have no idea what you, what are you talking about? She didn't even know
00:25:36.080 that's what happens in an abortion. The vast majority of pro-choicers have no idea how gruesome
00:25:41.020 abortion is, which just makes me wonder, like, what do you think happens in an abortion? Like,
00:25:45.060 do you think it's like fairy dust and like the baby just disappears and goes to heaven? Like,
00:25:50.240 it is brutal. It is painful, especially in the second and third trimesters, but it's brutal no matter
00:25:55.380 what. It's wrong no matter what, because a human life has that unique DNA at the moment of conception.
00:26:01.520 All that child needs is time to become, to become a human that can actually, you know,
00:26:08.440 exist outside the womb. It's a human from the beginning, but to exist outside of the womb,
00:26:12.680 all it needs is, is time. And so this is a, it's dishonest. It's a dishonest,
00:26:20.100 a try to be clever argument coming from this Pennsylvania representative, because in the case
00:26:28.500 of forced sterilization, like there's, you're not, you're not saving anyone's life. Like there is no
00:26:35.540 human being other than, no human being affected other than the man that you would be forced to be
00:26:43.680 sterilized. And in the case of abortion, restricting abortion, you're saving the life
00:26:49.380 of a child. That's what you're doing. The physical life of a child. I saw Jamila Jamil or whatever her
00:26:55.380 name is. She said, Jamila Jamil. Yeah. She said that she had an abortion. She doesn't regret it.
00:27:00.560 Of course, her conscience is seared. She is depraved in mind. She has a reprobate mind. Why
00:27:06.180 would she regret it? She is a calloused heart of stone. But she said, you know, patriarchy designed
00:27:12.440 this attack on women's freedom to keep us in our place, to hold us back, to derail our lives and
00:27:15.820 instill terror in us. It's in a tip to stop us from having sex outside of marriage. Okay. It's
00:27:21.140 to punish us, even if we are sexually assaulted, even if we are children, even if it was by a family
00:27:26.500 member. Yes. It's punishing you to say, Hey, sorry, you can't kill your baby. Again, it's just a
00:27:34.040 disregard of the loss of life that actually happens in an abortion. And she goes on to argue that a person
00:27:41.440 does not have a right to live. That person gets in the way of your hopes and dreams. I mean, how
00:27:45.320 selfish can you possibly get? And yet, um, New York magazine had the audacity to print an article
00:27:51.460 arguing that having a child, um, especially today is, um, essentially selfish, uh, describes it this
00:27:59.060 way. You choose out of a desire for fulfillment or self betterment or boredom or peer pressure to
00:28:04.080 bring a human into this world has never seemed more selfish than today. You're right. It is so
00:28:09.760 self-serving of me, um, to wake up multiple times a night with a newborn or to sacrifice so much of
00:28:17.980 our time and our energy joyfully and thankfully, but sacrifice so much of our convenience, so much
00:28:23.380 of our time, so much of maybe the things that we just want to do for the sake of a child, right?
00:28:29.900 That's selfish, but what spending all of your money on new shoes and, um, you know, like having,
00:28:37.740 uh, having an abortion and purposely avoiding having children so that you can pursue some kind
00:28:44.380 of mediocre marketing career, that's selfless. Come on now. Come on. Um, and I'm not talking about
00:28:50.580 people who can't have children or are not in a position to have children. I am talking about this
00:28:55.140 particular argument that says that you should purposely not be having children so you can be
00:29:00.040 selfless. Up is down. Right is wrong. People calling evil good and good evil. It's a messed up world,
00:29:06.440 which means that we Christians have to be so clear about who we are and what we believe
00:29:10.840 unapologetically. Okay, guys, thank you so much for listening. Like I said, we'll be back here
00:29:20.180 tomorrow. We'll be talking about, um, big tech and everything that's happening with that Facebook
00:29:25.340 whistleblower. It's a really a fascinating story. One more thing, as we were recording, there, um,
00:29:30.300 was, uh, a school shooter in Texas. And the reason we didn't talk about it is just because we don't
00:29:35.860 have all of the details yet. Um, but as it happens, I'll try to update on Instagram as we find more
00:29:41.960 information. Definitely be praying. There was, as far as we know right now, there was one teacher who
00:29:46.100 died and several people injured. So please pray for them. Gosh, gosh, this world needs Jesus. All right.
00:29:51.700 We'll be back here tomorrow. See you guys then.
