00:00:00.000 Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Tuesday. Today we are talking finally about those new
00:00:05.500 COVID guidelines from the CDC. We are also going to discuss Nancy Pelosi's claim that
00:00:12.040 Mother Earth is very mad at us. And we are going to react to the videos that are circulating from
00:00:19.360 Boston Children's Hospital saying that kids, babies, even infants in the womb know that they
00:00:27.200 are trans and therefore they need to be put on a path of not just puberty blockers, but quote unquote 0.98
00:00:33.720 gender affirming hysterectomies. And then we are going to end with a fun segment. I am going to be
00:00:40.780 rating the best, worst low rise genes of the week. As always, this episode is brought to you by our
00:00:48.500 friends at Good Ranchers. Go to goodranchers.com slash Allie. That's goodranchers.com slash Allie.
00:00:57.200 All right, a couple things to say before we get into it. One, if you're watching this, I'm sorry
00:01:08.640 that my hair looks like a bird's nest. I literally did nothing to it this morning. I was trying to
00:01:14.960 hurry to get out the door. I slept in a messy bun like this, which is terrible for your hair. Please 0.79
00:01:21.320 don't do this. I also just did a whole like Instagram story about how like you should sleep
00:01:27.560 on your hair in order for it not to be creasy. And I'm a giant, I'm a giant hypocrite when it comes to 0.97
00:01:34.040 my when it comes to how I sleep on my hair, I guess, because this is just how it was this morning.
00:01:39.140 So I apologize for that if you are watching on YouTube. All right. I also wanted to say you should
00:01:46.120 watch my new skit that I had fun doing called the Tone Police skit, where we talk about those people
00:01:53.040 who are constantly chiding, especially Christians on social media for how they're saying things that
00:01:59.180 are both necessary and true. It doesn't matter that it's necessary and true. What matters is that
00:02:03.740 you use the wrong tone. So here's a snippet of that. I'm with the Tone Police. I'm out here
00:02:08.760 arresting tone violators. We're talking people who say things in a way that are
00:02:13.260 a bit harsh, a bit rude, a bit sarcastic, a bit abrupt, saying things that are technically true,
00:02:20.300 but hurt people's feelings. That's not okay. All right. So that's on YouTube. That's on Instagram.
00:02:26.780 Go check that out. If you haven't listened to yesterday's interview with Zuby, we talked about
00:02:32.580 a lot of different news and culture things in politics. But really, the theme was kind of
00:02:39.060 this abdication of personal responsibility and allergy to self-control that our country is going
00:02:46.680 through right now and all the implications of that. Also, we haven't done this in a while. I thought it
00:02:51.700 would be fun to ask you guys for some voicemails that we will play at the end of an episode, maybe
00:02:57.400 next week or the next after that, just as kind of like a fun segment at the end. And this time,
00:03:05.220 I am asking for your mom moment, special mom moment. So I'm talking about funny, like a funny
00:03:11.820 conversation that you had with your kid, or maybe like a heartwarming moment that you had with your
00:03:16.940 child, something challenging, something relatable, maybe a piece of advice that you have that you've
00:03:21.360 learned, whether you are a grandmother or whether you're a new mom, we would appreciate it. You can
00:03:26.360 call 682-503-1369 and leave us a voicemail. Try to keep it as concise as you can. 682-503-1369. We will
00:03:37.900 read some of those in a couple weeks. All right, first story for the day, we are going to discuss the
00:03:55.840 new COVID guidelines per the CDC. These were released last week, August 11th, and people
00:04:03.760 are simultaneously freaking out and also rolling their eyes and laughing. You've got some people
00:04:11.060 mostly on the left who are saying, oh my gosh, I can't believe the CDC is changing these restrictions
00:04:17.360 and regulations. What are we supposed to do? How are we going to survive? And then you've got people
00:04:22.760 mostly on the right saying, huh, this is interesting. We've been saying all along that this should be
00:04:29.460 the guidance. And we were basically punished for those suggestions. So let me explain why you're seeing
00:04:36.480 those reactions. So we did see a change in restrictions all the way back in June from the CDC that said
00:04:43.060 that there was no more negative test requirement for people flying into the United States from foreign
00:04:48.600 countries, regardless of vaccination status. And so now they've changed the restrictions even more.
00:04:55.960 You are no longer to be treated differently as far as quarantining, isolation, social distancing,
00:05:03.760 and masking goes if you are vaccinated versus if you are unvaccinated. You no longer have to isolate at
00:05:11.400 all if you have been exposed to the virus. And when I say have to isolate, it's not like necessarily the
00:05:17.400 CDC is the one, you know, coming to your house and making sure that you are isolating. But as far as
00:05:23.640 their rules go, as far as their guidance goes, they're saying you no longer need to isolate if
00:05:28.560 you've been exposed to the virus. You only need to isolate, the CDC says, if you test positive and or
00:05:35.560 you have symptoms. You no longer need to stay six feet away from others. I mean, that was always so
00:05:41.820 arbitrary and so, so silly. Contact tracing and testing, they say should be limited to high risk
00:05:48.920 places like hospitals and nursing homes. And here's an interesting one. They say you only need to wear a
00:05:56.280 mask if you have symptoms or test positive or at least through day 10 of your illness. Now, this is
00:06:06.160 interesting because the argument that we heard is circa June of 2020 was that everyone needed to wear
00:06:15.000 a mask at all times because of something called asymptomatic spread that you could feel totally
00:06:22.080 healthy and still be spreading COVID. And so you at least need to wear these cloth masks to make sure
00:06:28.980 that you're not spreading COVID to other people. Well, not only have we seen data set after data set
00:06:34.720 show us that mask mandates do not reduce transmission, they don't reduce the case rate,
00:06:40.660 they don't have any correlation whatsoever to the death rate. And we can link past episodes
00:06:46.460 on that data in the description of this episode so you can go check that out. But we also found out
00:06:56.480 that really asymptomatic spread is not what is driving the transmission of COVID. And yet, that idea was the
00:07:07.740 basis for forcing even little children to wear their dirty and slimy and ill-fitting Spider-Man mask
00:07:18.040 mask to school. And as I said, vaccinated people and non-vaccinated people are being told to now follow
00:07:26.740 the same protocol when it comes to masking, the same restrictions when it comes to masking and comes to
00:07:33.200 quarantine. So let's think about this a little bit. You may remember just a few months ago, and really we were in
00:07:41.020 the thick of it last year and last spring, this push for forced vaccinations. And employees, public and private
00:07:52.560 sector, were facing certain economic demise if they refused to get a vaccine. Now, some corporations
00:08:01.500 offered some exemptions, but a lot of people lost their jobs. We're talking about nurses. We're talking about
00:08:09.060 teachers. We're talking about military members who still right now, right now are being purged because
00:08:15.460 of their vaccination status. The federal government, under the direction of Joe Biden, said that they were
00:08:22.280 going to find corporations with more than 100 employees who refused to mandate the vaccines for
00:08:29.240 their employees. So people faced the threat of losing their entire livelihood and being able to feed their
00:08:35.680 family because they refused a vaccine that we know now does not actually stop infection or transmission.
00:08:43.920 And that is what we were told. We were told by Dr. Fauci. We were told by the CDC. We were told by Rachel
00:08:53.560 Maddow. We were told by all of the Twitter scientists and pseudo-medical experts that if you get the vaccine,
00:09:02.120 that the virus will stop, that you're not even really probably going to get infected at all,
00:09:08.220 but if you do get infected, it's going to ensure that you don't spread the virus to other people.
00:09:13.680 I mean, that was the argument. That was the argument for mandating the vaccine. That was the argument
00:09:18.920 that we heard from even the church in a lot of cases, that this is how you love and take care of
00:09:26.160 your neighbor, especially the most vulnerable. And now what do we know? That you are just as likely
00:09:32.220 to get infected with COVID if you have the vaccine, which means you're just as likely to spread the
00:09:37.080 virus. You're not going to get infected with COVID and not be contagious just because you have the
00:09:44.440 vaccine that never made sense. And yet this was used as the premise to ruin people's lives,
00:09:51.900 to steal their livelihood. And as I said, it is still happening. Yes, in the military, but also
00:09:58.260 in corporations. I get messages from you guys on a daily basis saying that your husband, your spouse,
00:10:05.260 or you are facing termination because you are refusing to get the vaccine. Now, I think one piece
00:10:13.880 of hope that we have is that there is going to be, in some cases, some payback here, especially for the
00:10:21.960 hospitals that pushed this on their staff. And there was a story, I first read it in Fox Business,
00:10:28.040 and the headline is this, healthcare workers fired over vaccine mandate awarded $10 million
00:10:33.700 in settlement. So here's what the article says, quote, Illinois healthcare workers who were fired or
00:10:40.220 otherwise impacted by their hospital's COVID-19 vaccine mandate will receive a $10 million
00:10:45.580 settlement after filing a lawsuit challenging the rule. Let this case be a warning to employers that
00:10:50.780 violated Title VII. Title VII prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion,
00:10:57.680 sex, and national origin. Matt Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Council, the group behind the
00:11:03.820 lawsuit, told the Washington Examiner, it is especially significant and gratifying that this
00:11:09.520 first class-wide COVID settlement protects healthcare workers. So the case centers around
00:11:15.420 workers at North Shore University Health System. They filed a lawsuit last October claiming their
00:11:21.720 employer illegally refused to grant any religious exemptions to a COVID-19 vaccine mandate. And that
00:11:28.000 is why the attorney is saying that this violated Title VII. So this particular lawsuit has to do with
00:11:34.660 religious discrimination, which is great. I'm so glad that they are getting this $10 million 1.00
00:11:39.960 settlement that is well-deserved. But it shouldn't only be on the basis of religious discrimination that
00:11:48.840 people can get payback for this. I mean, what about everyone else? We should have never been forced
00:11:54.820 to put what is, I think that we can safely say now, even though people have gotten kicked off platforms
00:12:00.360 for saying this, an experimental and not so great vaccine into their body. Nicole Safier, I think that's
00:12:08.660 how you pronounce her name, Dr. Nicole Safier. She tweeted this, and I thought that this was a really
00:12:14.340 good suggestion. She said, now that the CDC no longer differentiates between COVID vaccinated and
00:12:20.440 unvaccinated individuals, every employee fired for being unvaccinated should be given their job back 1.00
00:12:26.680 with a formal apology and back pay. Now, talk about rightful reparations. Like, talk about a justified
00:12:36.180 demand for reparations. I mean, we're talking about real, physical, tangible harm that has been caused
00:12:43.860 and has been caused by the government in a lot of cases and has inflicted damage on real people
00:12:55.460 who are around today who can actually quantify the consequences that they have had to deal with
00:13:03.040 because of their refusal to inject themselves with a substance that they didn't want to inject
00:13:08.420 themselves with. There should absolutely be a repair there. If there was any real justice and if this
00:13:16.400 government really cared about justice and true equality, well, they wouldn't have tried to issue or
00:13:22.580 enforce the mandate in the first place, but they certainly would be paying for their mistake.
00:13:27.880 But we know enough about government to know that that is not going to happen. Remember what we've
00:13:34.580 talked about in the past, that you know who has the power in society by seeing who gets rewarded for
00:13:45.340 being wrong and who gets in trouble for being right. And that's certainly the case when it comes to
00:13:53.140 reporting on vaccines and on COVID. I mean, you'll remember Alex Berenson. He has a sub stack that's
00:14:00.840 mostly dedicated to the ineffectiveness of the vaccine. He was suspended from Twitter for talking
00:14:08.520 about this stuff. He had to sue Twitter to get back on. And he recently published emails between Twitter
00:14:14.440 employees who said that the White House told him to suspend him. I mean, talk about fascism, the
00:14:22.060 wedding of government and corporate power, not just any corporation, but a corporation that really
00:14:27.920 shapes our politics and culture because it controls our cultural and political megaphone. And so now the
00:14:35.280 CDC is saying that the vaccine doesn't prevent illness and death. So are we going to ever get any
00:14:43.500 apology? Are we ever going to see any restoration of the accounts that got kicked off for saying this
00:14:50.220 several months ago or for people who lost their livelihoods? As I already said, I highly doubt it.
00:14:56.960 The Pfizer CEO, Albert Berla, he just announced that he came down with COVID. He tweeted this.
00:15:04.280 I would like to let you know that I have tested positive for COVID-19. I'm thankful to have
00:15:09.000 received four doses of the Pfizer BioNTech vaccine, and I am feeling well while experiencing very mild
00:15:16.380 symptoms. I am isolating and have started a course of Paxlovid. Now, what's also interesting is that in
00:15:23.020 January of 2021, he tweeted this. Excited to share that updated analysis from our phase three study
00:15:29.300 with BioNTech also showed that our COVID-19 vaccine was 100% effective in preventing COVID-19
00:15:38.720 cases in South Africa. Is that so? That's interesting. He is not the only one who has put out a message
00:15:48.560 like this. I mean, almost verbatim, all of these Democrat leaders, whenever they come down with COVID,
00:15:54.180 they all say the same thing. So Gavin Newsom, he tweeted this in May. He said,
00:16:01.040 this morning, I tested positive for COVID-19. Grateful to be vaccinated and for treatments like
00:16:05.920 Paxlovid, Barack Obama. Let's see. This was March of 2022. I just tested positive for COVID,
00:16:15.180 and I'm grateful to be vaccinated and boosted. Mayor Lori Lightfoot, this is January 2022. I tested
00:16:22.980 positive for COVID. I feel fine, which I credit to being vaccinated and boosted. Elizabeth Warren,
00:16:30.820 tested positive. Grateful for the protection of the vaccine. And then, let's see, you've got
00:16:35.940 Representative Peter Welch, tested positive. Grateful for the protection of the vaccine.
00:16:40.540 I guess they just get the talking points in some kind of mass email, and this is what their
00:16:45.640 communications directors are told that they have to say. John Tory, this morning, I tested positive for
00:16:51.600 COVID-19. I'm thankful that I've been fully vaccinated. Hillary Clinton, let's see, this was
00:16:56.220 March of 2022. Well, I've tested positive for COVID. I'm more grateful than ever for the protection
00:17:02.960 vaccines can provide. See, that's how you know a vaccine works really well, is when everyone who got
00:17:07.640 the vaccine gets sick from the illness that the vaccine was supposed to prevent. All right. And
00:17:15.000 everyone says, okay, well, they are protected because they would have gotten a serious illness
00:17:21.580 had they not gotten the vaccine. I'm not saying that that's not true. Maybe that is true in some
00:17:28.460 cases, but I always kind of roll my eyes when I see that, especially from younger people, like anyone 1.00
00:17:34.420 under the age of 60 saying, oh, I'm so glad that I got the vaccine because my symptoms are mild. Well,
00:17:39.400 guess what? I got zero COVID vaccines and my symptoms were mild. Same thing with my whole
00:17:45.260 family. I also didn't take Pax Levit or any of these pharmaceuticals or anything. I think we took
00:17:51.360 some like supplements and drank water and felt better. I mean, it wasn't fun. I'm not saying COVID
00:17:56.440 is nothing. And of course, we know that there are some, although it's very rare, young, healthy people
00:18:02.520 who get COVID have to go on a ventilator and have maybe even died. Although again, that is extremely,
00:18:08.580 extremely rare. Usually there is some kind of underlying condition. So I'm not saying that
00:18:14.060 absolutely no one should get the vaccine. I'm not saying that it's ineffective for every single type
00:18:19.660 of person, every single age group, or that it doesn't have any benefit whatsoever. But I think
00:18:24.920 for a lot of people, the cons outweigh the pros. And a lot of people weren't even given the
00:18:30.700 freedom really to make the decision that is best for their body, best for their health,
00:18:36.980 and best for their family. I mean, I think a lot of people are just kind of in a stage of cope that
00:18:44.420 they're young and they're healthy. They get COVID after they get the vaccine and they convince
00:18:49.960 themselves, oh, see, it was worth getting the vaccine because now I've got mild symptoms. I hate
00:18:55.220 to break it to you, but you more than likely would have had mild symptoms anyway, regardless of you
00:19:01.220 getting the vaccine. I'm very thankful. Personally, I'm very thankful that my family and I did not get
00:19:09.500 it. As I said, COVID is not fun. It can be really bad for a lot of people. You have to make the
00:19:14.800 decision that's best for you. But that's been the point all along. You should be able to make that
00:19:19.800 decision without facing the consequence of potential unemployment. Now, just a note about masks,
00:19:27.660 because there was this tweet that I saw from a lady named Marie Myung Oakley. I don't know. Anyway,
00:19:37.960 she's the author and founder of the Asian American Writers Workshop. And she tweeted,
00:19:46.020 CDC is losing guidelines for COVID protection, but I always watch the Nobel Prize winning microbiologist
00:19:50.800 in our building. He exercises every day, takes long walks, and wears an N95 mask even 0.96
00:19:57.240 outside. Well, that just goes to show that you can be very smart and very unwise. So you can have a
00:20:06.100 lot of degrees and still be a paranoid, unscientific person who wants to wear a mask basically as a
00:20:16.380 symbol of caring for their neighbor. That doesn't mean that he is right. I mean, there's no science
00:20:22.500 backing this idea of wearing an N95 when you're exercising alone outside. I mean, there is
00:20:28.640 absolutely nothing that we know about COVID that would indicate that that is helpful in any way.
00:20:33.360 In fact, I would say that it's harmful. And yet we were told by Francis Collins, we Christians were
00:20:38.880 even told by pastors and influential Christian leaders that wearing a mask at all times, even if
00:20:45.020 it's just your flimsy cloth mask and getting a vaccine and even encouraging your congregants to
00:20:50.560 do that is how you love your neighbor. Not just how you love your neighbor, but also how you love
00:20:55.940 yourself. So I do want to know if those Christians who did that, who kind of propagated that message,
00:21:03.180 if they are going to take back the messages that they gave to their congregants. I mean,
00:21:09.360 we're talking about people here who segregated their congregations by vaccine status, who told
00:21:17.540 their congregants that in order to truly love your neighbor, aka how to be more like Christ,
00:21:24.580 you have to wear a mask. No discussion or debate whatsoever about the effectiveness of masks who
00:21:31.880 basically treated the unvaccinated as not just lepers, but basically apostates. I mean,
00:21:38.060 really measuring someone's righteousness and love for the Lord by whether they are willing to wear
00:21:44.220 a face covering. Are they going to repent from that now that we know that even the CDC is basically
00:21:51.880 admitting, even if it's just implicitly, that masks, a universal masking is not necessary, and that
00:21:58.860 vaccinated people and unvaccinated people basically have the same health status? So we know as Christians,
00:22:05.640 this is something I've thought about a lot over the past couple of years is I've just seen a lot of
00:22:11.620 Christian leaders kind of like morally extort other Christians into conforming to their ideas about 1.00
00:22:18.220 COVID and COVID response. So there is freedom of conscience when it comes to a lot of different
00:22:24.020 things that Christians choose to do and not do. There are obviously a lot of things that we don't
00:22:28.800 really have the freedom to choose between. A lot of things are sin according to scripture. A lot of things are
00:22:33.500 not sin according to scripture. A lot of things are things that we should do to glorify God. But then
00:22:40.220 there are things that aren't necessarily sins or not sins that we have to use wisdom and knowledge
00:22:46.680 and experience discernment of the Word of God and the Holy Spirit to try to decide for ourselves what
00:22:53.800 is best. And so there are a lot of things we don't know that we really kind of have to walk through
00:22:59.320 and decide as they come. But there are some things that we do know as Christians. One thing that we
00:23:04.800 know is that we're to love God. The other thing that we know is that we are to love our neighbor.
00:23:10.340 So what does it mean to love God? As I've really kind of wrestled with, well, is it really loving your
00:23:15.240 neighbor? Is it really glorifying to God to always wear a mask or to get the vaccine? So loving God is not
00:23:23.040 just kind of like this feeling or doing what society tells you is loving or affirming or nice.
00:23:29.360 We know what loving God actually means. According to scripture, it means keeping his commandments. And
00:23:35.500 one of his commandments is to glorify him with our body. And we also know from scripture that our body
00:23:43.280 is not our own. So this is 1 Corinthians 6 19. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the
00:23:49.660 Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own for you are bought with a
00:23:53.520 price. So glorify God with your body. So what does that mean? That means that we have to determine
00:23:59.720 based on our own body and our own understanding about the facts, in this case, about the COVID vaccine,
00:24:05.960 including the use of fetal tissue in the research of the vaccines, we have to determine how to glorify
00:24:12.120 God with our body when it comes to vaccines. There may be some hard and fast
00:24:19.660 rules and restrictions when it comes to glorifying God with our body, like sexual morality. But when
00:24:24.500 it comes to vaccines, that is something that you are going to have to discern based on the knowledge
00:24:29.260 and the wisdom and the scriptural foundation that you have. It is not a club to hit someone over the
00:24:40.560 head with and basically tell them that they're not a Christian if they determine based on all those
00:24:44.940 things that the vaccine is not for them. The other thing that we are called to do as Christians is to
00:24:50.520 love our neighbor. Matthew 19 19, as well as many other places in scripture, we are told you shall
00:24:55.860 love your neighbor as yourself. Now, what is love? Again, is it just kind of following whatever the
00:25:02.260 mainstream says is love? Well, I think that we have a really good example in Christ of what love
00:25:11.400 actually looks like. And it is seeking the person's, another person's best interest and needs as you
00:25:17.700 would your own self. And as God defines someone's needs and as God defines love and as God defines what
00:25:25.580 is someone's best interest, it doesn't just mean making someone comfortable. So in order to love other
00:25:33.220 people, you first have to obey God and his word and abide by his commandments and his definitions,
00:25:40.020 which means it is not loving your neighbor if you believe based on all of the tools that you have
00:25:47.640 been given by God that the vaccine is immoral or unethical or physically or ethically wrong due to
00:25:54.240 the substance or research. You cannot love other people by disobeying God. Universal masking, vaccines
00:26:03.020 don't prevent the spread. And so that's not even loving. Basically, what it is at this point is just a
00:26:09.380 symbol. It's just a signal. It's a virtue signal to show what kind of person you want other people
00:26:15.500 to think that you are, which means you're not really loving other people by doing that. You are really
00:26:21.140 loving yourself. You're not really glorifying God by doing that. You are glorifying yourself. Now,
00:26:27.020 it depends on motivations. It depends on the context. I don't think that a mask is ineffective in all
00:26:33.020 circumstances. I think the right well-fitting mask, if you are sick and you are around someone that you
00:26:39.860 don't want to get sick, can actually be helpful. So maybe there are some contexts where wearing a mask
00:26:45.720 is more considerate and more compassionate. But that was not the position of these woke scolds in the
00:26:50.980 church who said that universal masking and vaccine mandates is the only way to love your neighbor.
00:26:56.180 That's bad theology. It's bad science. And I think that the people who pushed that propaganda
00:27:02.980 really owe everyone else an apology, especially the people that they spiritually shamed into doing
00:27:10.140 something that maybe caused an adverse reaction that maybe actually ended up being bad for them. I
00:27:15.680 mean, how is that not pharisaical? Isn't that what Jesus condemned the Pharisees for by placing
00:27:21.160 unfair, unbiblical burdens on the back of vulnerable people? Like, it wasn't that what he was angry
00:27:30.700 about? Yes, that's a rhetorical question. And so I just wonder, all of the consequences of the
00:27:39.680 misinformation and the dogmatic misinformation about vaccines and masking, I mean, I don't even think
00:27:46.300 we've seen the full consequences of that, certainly when it comes to children and their development.
00:27:50.700 Unfortunately, and we still have school districts that are trying to push this stuff, despite the
00:27:55.740 mounds of science that we have contradicting the need for masking in schools. I just wonder, what will
00:28:03.860 this widespread comeuppance look like? Will there be one? I really hope so. I pray so, because I think
00:28:09.940 that that would be justice. All right, let's talk about Nancy Pelosi and her comments about Mother Earth.
00:28:28.500 She was talking about this so-called Inflation Reduction Act in front of the press, which
00:28:35.380 representative Thomas Massey has unaffectionately dubbed the Inflation Enhancement Act, because
00:28:41.840 that's, of course, what it's going to do. That's just basic economics. It's going to make inflation
00:28:47.980 even worse. She was talking about it in front of the press and saying how this is going to help all of
00:28:53.840 our climate woes, all the things that are included in this bill. So here she is. Here she is saying just
00:29:00.760 how can they vote against the planet? Mother Earth. Mother Earth gets angry from time to time. So before 0.99
00:29:17.760 I talk about the theological implications of a silly pagan comet like that, let me just say what 1.00
00:29:25.900 this bill actually does. So it's a $739 billion bill. $369 billion are slated to go to climate change
00:29:36.700 subsidies. $64 billion will go to expanding Obamacare subsidies. The rest, more than $300 billion, will go
00:29:43.320 to paying down the deficit. Is that how it works? I'm not really sure. The New York Post made a list of the
00:29:50.380 consequences, especially on the working class that this bill will have. It's a likely 17% hike to the
00:29:56.280 average household's natural gas bill. A $12 billion tax on purchasers of oil or gas products. So if you
00:30:04.520 think the gas price issue is bad now, it's only going to get worse. A 15% tax on corporations reporting at
00:30:11.940 least $1 billion in profits, which will be passed to Americans in the form of higher prices, less hiring,
00:30:19.780 wage cuts. That's unfortunate. I mean, I don't really care about those major corporations getting
00:30:24.600 taxed more. But the fact is, it does have a trickle down effect on you and me. A corporate tax hike ends
00:30:30.980 up being a price hike for us. It's $124 billion stock buyback tax, which will shrink 401ks, IRAs and
00:30:40.340 pensions for most Americans. And so we're going to feel this. The working class is certainly going to feel
00:30:45.000 this. I know that Biden has said many times that this is not going to negatively affect anyone or
00:30:51.040 raise taxes on anyone who is not making $400,000 a year. Even nonpartisan groups have said that that's
00:30:57.000 just not true. Now that is not just a Democrat problem. There are plenty of Republicans who make
00:31:02.380 promises like that, that they just cannot keep and do not even intend to keep. They just hope kind
00:31:09.700 I guess that some people won't notice or won't care very much. But the fact is that this is going
00:31:15.960 to have a big negative effect on the working class. All climate policy does. The climate change
00:31:22.400 movement is a gimmick, as we've talked about several times. We've talked about that with Jackie
00:31:26.600 Daly. It's really just like lining the pockets of people in power, of the most rich, of China.
00:31:34.360 You have to use oil. You have to frack to make all of these devices that we're told are going to
00:31:40.700 fight climate change, like windmills, like solar panels, like electric vehicles. So it's just all
00:31:46.980 a gimmick that is just making very rich the people at the top. But it's oppressing people like you and
00:31:52.080 me. I mean, ask the farmers, for example, or just the communities in Middle California, how the
00:31:58.640 environmental agencies and their policies have affected agriculture there. That's what climate
00:32:04.940 policy does. It damages agriculture. It damages self-reliance. It hurts your pocketbook. It hurts
00:32:10.120 farmers and ranchers. And so we are going to see that even more. And everyone, whether you're in
00:32:16.080 agriculture or not, of course, is affected by that. Now, let's talk theologically a little bit
00:32:20.800 about Nancy Pelosi's silly statement. Now, of course, she claims to be a devout Catholic, 0.94
00:32:27.560 but her support of abortion and basically everything that the Democrat Party stands for,
00:32:32.900 it kind of belies that claim. Now, I, of course, am not a Catholic, but I have a lot of Catholic
00:32:38.800 friends who would say that Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden should not be in good standing with the
00:32:42.860 Catholic Church because of the moral beliefs that they say that they hold. And this statement that
00:32:49.920 she made about Mother Earth, she also said Republicans who vote against the bill are voting against Mother
00:32:55.560 Earth. That's every single Republican, by the way. This is a completely partisan bill because,
00:33:00.480 I mean, that's how crazy it is. That's how extreme it is, of course. She said that they are all voting
00:33:06.380 against Mother Earth. And it's extremely revealing about the climate ideology is that it really is just a
00:33:12.860 form of pagan worship. And I know that some people say that it's worshiping creation itself,
00:33:18.960 as Romans 1 talks about worshiping the creature rather than the creator. But I would say that that
00:33:25.440 is even too generous of a description when you're talking about the climate activists.
00:33:30.660 Now, some of the activists, yes, they really believe that they're, you know, saving the starfish
00:33:36.340 and that they're protecting polar bears and that they're helping the most vulnerable in our society
00:33:42.980 by fighting climate change. I think that there are a lot of people who are very sincere about that.
00:33:47.580 But Nancy Pelosi, the people at the top, the people who are getting rich by this stuff and who are
00:33:53.720 getting more power because of these policies, they're not even worshiping the Earth. They're
00:33:59.240 worshiping money. They're worshiping themselves. I mean, it really does come down to self-worship
00:34:04.480 at the end of the day. So I'm not sure that I could say that they are pagans in the traditional
00:34:10.280 sense, that they are like worshiping the trees and the sun and the stars. Again, I think that's too
00:34:14.940 nice of a description. Nancy Pelosi is a self-worshipper. She is a self-idolator. But 1.00
00:34:21.680 the language that she uses, Mother Earth, kind of personifying the universe as something with its own
00:34:29.140 will, with its own sovereignty, with its own power to punish people based on how they vote,
00:34:35.540 based on the policies they support or based on our behavior, that is a form of paganism. That is, 0.54
00:34:44.580 of course, a form of deadly secularism. Wherever there is animal or Earth worship in any society
00:34:54.160 throughout history, you will always find human sacrifice. I believe it was Chesterton who said
00:34:59.100 that. And of course, that's true today. Whether you're looking back in history at the Aztecs,
00:35:04.940 or whether you're looking at today and how we sacrifice children through abortion. And the
00:35:10.120 Democrat Party, of course, embodies both of those things. Psalm 74, 16 through 17 says,
00:35:17.120 I read this the other day in light of her comments. I thought it was interesting.
00:35:20.620 Yours, the Lord's, is the day. Yours also the night. You have established the heavenly light and
00:35:26.640 the sun. You have fixed all the boundaries of the earth. You have made summer and winter.
00:35:33.820 And then I've read this passage before, which I think is really interesting. God says this to
00:35:39.180 Noah after the flood. Genesis 8, 22. While the earth remains, sea time and harvest, cold and heat,
00:35:47.600 summer and winter, day and night shall not cease. God is completely sovereign over the universe. He is
00:35:56.320 completely sovereign over creation. Like there is nothing that we can do. We just don't have the power.
00:36:02.180 We don't have the strength. We don't have the ability to upset or to thwart God's sovereign plan
00:36:07.620 of redemption. Like if we as Christians believe that Jesus is returning at a predetermined date,
00:36:14.420 whether you're post-mill, pre-mill, ah-mill, we all agree that one day Jesus will rule in perfect
00:36:22.000 peace and righteousness. One day every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
00:36:27.420 We all believe in God's total and complete sovereignty. Like if you believe that, you cannot
00:36:34.060 believe that we are powerful enough, that our behavior is influential enough to change God's
00:36:41.440 timeline. Like his eternal plan of redemption, you think rests on whether you recycle your plastics?
00:36:48.640 Now that's not to say that you shouldn't. That's not to say that we shouldn't recycle and that we
00:36:53.240 shouldn't take care of the earth. I think littering is really bad. I think cruelty to animals is really
00:36:57.420 bad. I think we should care about the resources that God has given us. We see in the first chapters
00:37:03.560 of Genesis that he has given human beings dominion over the earth and we should steward and care for
00:37:10.180 the earth in a way that is productive, in a way that is kind, in a way that is thoughtful and
00:37:15.180 compassionate. Not just because we care about the creator and therefore we are thankful for the
00:37:20.940 creation that he has given us, but also because we care for our fellow human beings. And that is what
00:37:28.840 should always inform any kind of environmental policy or policy that regulates how we treat the
00:37:35.280 earth. There should be some regulations around that and around the protection of those resources,
00:37:41.120 but only insofar as we are looking toward the best interest of human beings, because human beings are
00:37:47.300 the only creatures on earth that are made in the image of God. So going back to the example of like
00:37:53.120 Middle California, I believe, and you can correct me if I'm getting this wrong, but the California
00:37:59.080 Environmental Agency decided that they wanted to protect this little fish called the Delta smelt.
00:38:04.680 And because of that, the farmers weren't allowed to take water from this particular body of water in order
00:38:12.240 to water their crops. Well, that led to them not being able to grow as many crops and to feed as
00:38:19.800 many people. And it wasn't for any other reason except for the protection of this tiny little fish.
00:38:25.920 Now, this is the same state, by the way, that claims to be like a sanctuary state for women who are 0.91
00:38:30.560 seeking abortions and is trying to become a sanctuary state for kids who want to chop off their genitals 0.98
00:38:35.120 without the consent of their parents. So, I mean, again, once again, you see worship of animals, 0.99
00:38:41.220 worship of a creature leads to human sacrifice. California is a really great example of that.
00:38:47.760 So at the expense of human beings, they are passing, they have pushed this kind of environmental
00:38:54.000 policy to supposedly help this tiny fish, which of course is not made in the image of God. So it's
00:39:01.400 exactly backwards, most of the environmental policy that we have today. But going back to this truth
00:39:08.020 that we know that God holds all things together, that he is completely sovereign over it. And
00:39:13.080 therefore, while we should be responsible in our stewardship, we do not use the power of the
00:39:18.940 government to oppress human beings in order to protect or supposedly protect parts of creation.
00:39:26.040 Colossians 1 15 through 17, he is the image of the invisible God, Jesus, the firstborn of all creation.
00:39:33.100 For by him, all things were created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or
00:39:39.260 dominions or rulers or authorities, all things were created through him and for him. And he, Jesus, is before
00:39:47.080 all things and in him, all things hold together. In him, all things hold together. So I like
00:39:57.600 alliterations, you know that. We are stewards. People are significant. I couldn't think of a better
00:40:02.820 like S descriptor that I was looking for there. So that's not great. But we are stewards. People are
00:40:08.700 stewards. People are significant and God is sovereign. So we as humans are to be stewards. People are
00:40:14.440 significant, more significant than any other part of creation. And God is sovereign. So that means that
00:40:20.660 yes, we care about the earth, but that should never trample on the rights and the flourishing of human
00:40:28.200 beings. So Nancy Pelosi, she doesn't surprise me at all. This kind of secularism, this kind of
00:40:37.580 paganism, it hurts people. It has always hurt people. This is another example of how humans are
00:40:46.600 extorted with this kind of toxic compassion or maybe fake compassion, faux compassion message that
00:40:57.620 if you are truly a good person or kind or empathetic, you will believe in these liberal policies that
00:41:02.700 actually are oppressive and ineffective and don't glorify God at all. All right, we'll talk about
00:41:08.580 our last story in just one second before we get to our fun segment that we are going to end the episode
00:41:14.420 with. All right, we mentioned last week with Jennifer Law, last Thursday's episode, we talked a little bit
00:41:32.220 more about surrogacy, but also detransition and the gender transition industry and how that is
00:41:41.280 interlocked with the reproductive industry. Really interesting conversation. But we mentioned just
00:41:47.020 in passing these videos that are going around Twitter from Boston Children's Hospital. These are
00:41:52.020 doctors, so-called gender specialists at Boston Children's Hospital, saying that they are performing
00:41:58.980 quote, gender-affirming hysterectomies. They are also saying things like, oh, children know that
00:42:05.800 they're transgender from the womb or from the time that they're toddlers. So here is one doctor,
00:42:11.740 Carrie McGregor. She is a psychologist in the Gender Multi-Specialty Service, G-E-M-S. It's called G-E-M-S.
00:42:22.040 I would probably call it the Gender Mutilation Service at Boston Children's Hospital. Here's what
00:42:28.260 she has to say about kids apparently knowing that they are the opposite gender from really early on.
00:42:35.880 A good portion of children do know as early as seemingly from the womb, and they will usually
00:42:40.700 express their gender identity as very young children. Some, as soon as they can talk, they might say
00:42:45.220 phrases such as, I'm a girl, or I'm a boy, or I'm going to be a woman, or I'm going to be a mom.
00:42:51.180 I mean, this is patently absurd. The fact that this woman has a degree, went to school, 1.00
00:42:57.160 and has a specialty in this kind of thing, and doesn't know how kids are. Now, there is a very
00:43:03.960 small subset of the population that, of course, suffers from gender dysphoria, true confusion,
00:43:10.360 and persistent and insistent discomfort from a very early age in their body. Now, I still don't
00:43:16.820 think that that child needs to be mutilated and put on puberty blockers. I mean, that's crazy and
00:43:22.420 harmful. And I mean, we're talking permanent sterility, infertility, awful stuff. They're still
00:43:30.200 not the opposite gender. Just because a child has discomfort in their body doesn't mean that they're
00:43:34.560 the opposite gender. But not all kids who say, I would say the vast majority of kids, 99% of kids
00:43:41.520 who, when they're little, are like, I'm a boy, or I'm a girl, when really they're the opposite gender, 0.94
00:43:47.080 they're not actually saying that they're a boy or a girl. They could be doing a variety of things.
00:43:52.040 They could be just like testing you as a parent. They want to see what you're going to say. They want
00:43:56.700 to see if they can get away with saying something that they know isn't true, or is different from what
00:44:01.140 they've been taught, or get away with a lie. They want to see if you're going to correct them. I
00:44:06.280 mean, kids say all kinds of things like, oh, I'm going to have snakes for dinner. And they think
00:44:11.980 that that's funny. Does that mean that they secretly have an intuition that you're about to chop up some
00:44:16.780 rattlesnakes for them and like feed it on their dinner plate? No, kids say really silly things. And 0.98
00:44:23.200 at a young age, they're still trying to figure things out. They are still trying to figure out who they
00:44:27.840 are, who other people are. They're trying to label people, put them in categories, put them in
00:44:32.440 context. As we've talked about before, the world is really, really big to babies. It's really big
00:44:37.920 to young kids. You can see them constantly trying to name things, constantly trying to understand the
00:44:43.480 difference between mommy and daddy, the difference between dogs and humans, between dogs and cats,
00:44:48.060 between outside and inside, home, in school, and how their behaviors and how their words
00:44:53.440 are placed in these different contexts and situations. They're still learning all of that.
00:44:59.940 So if a three-year-old girl says, I'm a boy, they are not declaring to you some secret knowledge that
00:45:07.180 has been given to them by the gods of gender. I mean, this really is superstitious, pseudo-religious 0.54
00:45:15.080 stuff. To think that a kid basically from the womb has some kind of innate sense that they are not 0.87
00:45:22.520 the body that was given to them, that they are not the gender that has been their gender or sex
00:45:29.760 from the moment of conception. I mean, that's superstitious nonsense. That's not science.
00:45:37.400 Here is another doctor, Jeremy Carswell, director at the Genital Mutilation Service, sorry,
00:45:44.620 Gender Multi-Special Service at Boston Children's Hospital, basically saying the same thing.
00:45:50.460 A child will often know that they are transgender from the moment that they have any ability to
00:45:55.200 express themselves. And parents will often tell us this. We have parents who tell us that their kids
00:46:00.160 they knew from the minute they were born, practically, and actions like refusing to get a haircut or
00:46:06.640 standing to urinate, trying to stand to urinate, refusing to stand to urinate, trying on siblings' clothing,
00:46:13.480 playing with the, quote, opposite gender toys, things like that.
00:46:18.260 Okay, so here's what I find so interesting about this. We've already covered why this, like,
00:46:22.700 oh, kids know they're trans when they're born. How absolutely mad that is. But they are enforcing 1.00
00:46:29.440 very strict gender stereotypes. Basically, what they're saying, they simultaneously say this. You'll
00:46:36.180 see this with the gender activists. They will simultaneously say, oh, there's no such thing
00:46:41.060 as a gendered toy. There's no such thing as a gendered color. There's no such thing as a gendered name 1.00
00:46:46.220 or a gendered haircut or a gendered behavior. If girls want to, you know, do whatever. If they 1.00
00:46:53.080 like dirt bikes, they can like dirt bikes. If a boy wants to play with the doll, he can play with
00:46:57.640 the doll and he should be free to do that. And now they're simultaneously saying that, oh, well,
00:47:04.120 if a little girl wants to play with a bus or likes to play with cars instead of Barbie, then she must be 1.00
00:47:09.900 a boy. If a boy says that he likes ballet or likes the color pink, then he must be a girl. Or if a 0.98
00:47:16.700 little girl, like, sees her brother peeing standing up and she tries it, oh, that must mean that she's
00:47:22.600 really a boy. It's so strange how they simultaneously say that all of these gender stereotypes and gendered
00:47:30.240 behaviors are manufactured by society. And yet they're also saying that kids from a very young
00:47:36.060 age innately know that boys are supposed to have short hair and girls are supposed to have long 0.92
00:47:40.420 hair and they're demanding to have one or the other based on what their gender identity is. 0.51
00:47:45.160 But again, once you realize that this is not based in science, that it's based in superstition,
00:47:49.620 that it's based in a kind of religious ideology, you realize that they don't have to be consistent.
00:47:55.100 It's dogma. It's not any kind of, like, scientific or truthful objective understanding of reality or
00:48:03.580 how bodies and minds work. It is a kind of pagan superstitious religion. And because of that, 0.98
00:48:12.780 it's going to contradict itself. And they will never be held accountable for their contradictions,
00:48:17.320 of course. And if you do contradict them, well, then you are just accused of being some kind of
00:48:21.760 phobe or bigot or whatever. Now, here is the absolutely terrifying video that we referred to
00:48:28.420 last week. This Dr. Francis Grimstad, an attending physician at the Division of Gynecology at Boston
00:48:35.860 Children's Hospital, saying that they are performing, quote, gender-affirming hysterectomies.
00:48:41.640 Gender-affirming hysterectomy is very similar to most hysterectomies that occur. A hysterectomy itself 0.60
00:48:47.600 is the removal of the uterus, the cervix, which is the opening of the uterus. 0.97
00:48:51.380 And the fallopian tubes, which are attached to the sides of the uterus.
00:48:55.060 Some gender-affirming hysterectomies will also include the removal of the ovaries. 0.93
00:48:59.660 So a hysterectomy, as she talks about, removes the ovaries, removes the fallopian tubes,
00:49:06.920 in a lot of cases, removes the ovaries, but not always. And what's interesting about this is not
00:49:13.280 just how devastating and disgusting this is. I mean, it's a children's hospital, so I guess this is
00:49:17.720 happening to minors. So they don't have the capacity, mentally, to be able to consent to sex. 0.87
00:49:26.500 I mean, we know that. I mean, that's what age of consent laws are based on, this idea that no matter
00:49:32.880 what a child says, because their brain is not yet developed, they cannot legally, logically,
00:49:39.540 actually consent to sex. But they can consent at the age of 16, 17 years old. We talked about a couple
00:49:45.480 weeks ago, mastectomies are happening to girls as young as 12, in some cases. So at this young age,
00:49:52.100 when their frontal lobe of their brain, which weighs consequences and makes long-term decisions,
00:49:57.940 it's not even close to being developed because it fully develops at age 25, they are able to make a
00:50:03.440 decision that will render them infertile forever. You're telling me that that makes logical sense? 0.76
00:50:11.360 Yes. Of course, that this is no form of medical care. This is not a form of empathy. It's not a
00:50:18.260 form of love. It's not a form of compassion. I know you're being told that if kids don't get their
00:50:23.340 uterus removed, that they're going to kill themselves. It's not true. It's a lie. You are
00:50:30.240 setting them up to be lifelong slaves to the medical industrial complex, not to mention all of the other
00:50:36.700 psychological issues that they will have because of this. And by the way, if a girl who says that
00:50:42.980 she's a boy, if it's about looking like a boy, why does she need to get her fallopian tubes removed? 1.00
00:50:48.860 Why does she need to get her ovaries removed? Why? I mean, you know that that can cause early onset 1.00
00:50:56.040 dementia, not to mention all of the hormonal issues that she is going to go through. I mean, it's,
00:51:03.540 it is unbelievable that this is not only happening in our society, but it's being glorified.
00:51:10.020 And there are Christians who have the audacity to say that other Christians should affirm this 0.99
00:51:15.780 through pronoun politeness. Every time you use the quote unquote preferred pronouns
00:51:23.960 for a person that are the opposite of what they actually are biologically,
00:51:29.420 you are playing a part in this. And I know that that's not everyone's intention,
00:51:33.800 of course. And so I'm not impugning all of your motives. I know that a lot of people are just trying
00:51:38.180 to be polite, but that is affirming the entire premise that is the basis for the genital mutilation
00:51:44.680 of children. By calling a woman he or calling a man she, you are affirming this idea that you can 0.99
00:51:52.320 declare your identity. And if you are saying that a man is she, then why shouldn't he be able to go into 0.81
00:51:58.820 the girl's bathroom? Like, why shouldn't he be castrated? So you see how that all plays together? 0.98
00:52:05.200 So in love, we have to be willing to speak the truth to this and at the very least to not lie.
00:52:14.240 So every time you declare your pronouns, which gives into this idea that gender can be identified as
00:52:20.980 and declared rather than something that is. Every time you call someone, a person,
00:52:27.280 the sex that they are not, you are, well, every time you call someone their preferred pronouns that
00:52:32.940 don't correspond to their sex, you're lying. Every time you announce your own pronouns, you are still
00:52:39.700 giving in to the madness that, of course, is leading to the mutilation of minors. And I just won't play a
00:52:46.900 part in that. I'm just not going to. If this has to be a hill that I will die on, I absolutely will die
00:52:53.820 on it. And if you look, by the way, at Boston Children's Hospital and their gender multi-specialty
00:53:00.560 service page, they have on there a toddler, a toddler, a little toddler, I don't know, dressed
00:53:06.940 like a girl. I have no idea what gender this little child actually is based on what the web page is
00:53:15.540 called. But so we're not necessarily, we're not talking about, we're not talking about teenagers
00:53:20.280 here apparently. Like in their advertisement, on their web page, they don't have a 17-year-old,
00:53:25.740 they have a two-year-old. A two-year-old? What kind of treatment are they getting for their apparent
00:53:32.500 gender confusion? It's evil. It's wicked. And we as Christians, I know it's often derided as a culture
00:53:39.320 war. It's not. It's not really primarily. It's a spiritual battle. It's a theological battle for us
00:53:44.460 that goes all the way back to Genesis 1. And it is a battle that we absolutely have to fight for the
00:53:50.940 sake of vulnerable people. All right. That's all the serious stuff that we've got today. Now, we have
00:53:59.180 a fun segment, a new fun segment. We're going to start doing these more because honestly, like,
00:54:04.760 we need a laugh sometimes. And the fun segment, as you guys know, I don't like low-rise jeans. The
00:54:11.460 resurgence of low-rise jeans is very disturbing to me. Maybe the most disturbing thing that we're
00:54:16.040 talking about today. I don't understand who looks better in low-rise jeans than in mid-rise or high-rise
00:54:21.320 jeans. As a mother, I depend on high-rise jeans. And so I am very troubled by this new trend. And so I
00:54:30.080 decided that I'm going to rate a few low-rise jeans that we've seen out in the wild that my producers
00:54:38.160 gathered for me, celebrities wearing low-rise jeans, I'm going to rate them 1 to 10. I haven't decided
00:54:43.200 the basis of my scale yet. So this would be good to watch on YouTube. If you're not watching on
00:54:48.880 YouTube, if you're just listening, you should probably turn on YouTube so you can see exactly
00:54:52.760 what I'm talking about here. All right. Let's go ahead and pull up the first low-rise jean gal and
00:54:59.420 let's see what rating I want to give her. Who is this? Dua Lipa. Is that a singer? 1.00
00:55:08.880 All right. So these are baggy low-rise jeans. I mean, if I didn't know any better, I would think
00:55:15.300 this picture was from like 1999. I don't recognize this person. I have no idea who she is. Of course,
00:55:22.680 she looks cute. She's got a cute figure, but would she look cuter, especially with that top with some 1.00
00:55:29.640 high-rise jeans? 100%. And I mean, these look like they're almost like cargo pants. I sometimes wonder
00:55:38.340 about Gen Z style. Is it ironic? I feel like Gen Z style is ironic. Like they know it's ugly, but like 1.00
00:55:46.500 the uglier it is, the trendier it is for them. Like I see them starting to wear these new trendy shoes
00:55:52.480 called Birkenstocks, Birkenstocks and Crew socks. I'm like, yeah, I wore those 15 years ago back when
00:55:59.780 they were cool. Get your own. So I'm going to, um, I will rate these. A, I don't even, I honestly don't
00:56:09.260 know what my scale is. I think 10 will be the absolute worst and one will be the best. I'll rate
00:56:16.040 these a five because they're not awful. I can't see any midriff, thankfully, but they're also pretty 0.96
00:56:24.420 ugly because of the bagginess. So I'll go with five. All right, next one. Oh no, no. Who is this?
00:56:33.360 Arena Shake. What does she do? She is a model. Oh, okay. Interesting. All right. Well, again,
00:56:43.180 another like beautiful person, but here's what's disturbing about this. If you're just listening.
00:56:48.240 So she has like a corset on and you can like see her hips between the corset and where her jeans 1.00
00:56:56.720 start. It looks like she was going to the bathroom and something startled her and she had to run out of 0.95
00:57:02.500 the bathroom. And so she couldn't pull her pants all the way up. So she was like, I'm just, I gotta go.
00:57:07.180 And so I'm just going to settle with having my pants halfway down my butt. This doesn't even look 0.95
00:57:11.980 comfortable. Shoes don't look good with it. I'm going to rate this with 10 being the worst.
00:57:18.820 I mean, I'm sure they could, it could be worse. So I'm going to go with, I'm going to go with an
00:57:23.700 eight. Like these are, there's no chance in Dante's Inferno that she wouldn't look better in a pair of
00:57:33.540 nice fitting high rise jeans. Again, I just wonder, is it irony? Are you joking? I don't know. All right,
00:57:39.280 next one. I'm ready. Oh my goodness. Holy abs. Um, who is that? And she is a model. Okay. Well,
00:57:54.660 I don't blame her for wanting to show off her six pack. Um, weird. She looks like she's wearing a 0.99
00:58:02.020 bathing suit in a matching blazer and she's got some like ripped up baggy jeans. Now I'm a fan of 1.00
00:58:09.740 the baggy jeans. I, I'm not someone, I am not so millennial chuggy that I have to only wear skinny
00:58:17.380 jeans, but, um, they look like they're too long. Like they're dragging on the street at the bottom.
00:58:25.380 Um, so is the discomfort also part of the plan? I, I don't like dislike these that, that much
00:58:33.740 actually, even though obviously it's way too revealing. And once again, would look so much
00:58:39.220 better with nice mid rise, you know, nice fitting jeans, but I like the color of them. I liked ripped
00:58:46.900 jeans. And so I'm going to rate these probably a four, 4.2, 4.2 or so. Um, yeah, they're probably the
00:59:01.680 best of, um, of the three. So there he goes at all we got. Okay. That's all we got. You can submit
00:59:09.860 your votes. You can tell me what you think the best, worst low rise jean was of today. Um, don't 0.99
00:59:18.760 wear low rise jeans, mid rise and high rise always look better. That is yet another hill I will die
00:59:26.060 on today. All right. Thanks so much for listening. We will be back here tomorrow.
