Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Wednesday. Does it feel like Thursday to you? It feels like
00:00:05.480
Thursday to me. Nevertheless, it is Wednesday. Today we're talking about a few things. We are
00:00:10.440
going to do a follow-up on the Boston Children's Hospital story from yesterday. There's more
00:00:15.700
information there that you need to know. We are also going to be talking about the story out of
00:00:19.640
Minneapolis of the teachers unions demanding that white teachers be fired before black or brown
00:00:27.700
teachers. What does this say about this newfangled definition of equity? Is it logical? Is it
00:00:34.080
reasonable? Is it just? More importantly, is it biblical? You can probably guess my answer to that,
00:00:40.020
but I'll explain further. And then we're going to hear our beloved Kamala Harris talk to us about
00:00:45.640
the importance of equity in the eloquent way that she typically does. And then we are going to end
00:00:52.400
on talking about this Fresno church called the Well Church that is receiving so much hate simply
00:00:57.560
for preaching what God's Word says about sexuality and gender and marriage. And then we've got a
00:01:04.620

come up and they see me somewhere, they're like, oh, is it weird if I give you a hug or is it weird if I
00:03:02.780
say hi? I don't want to bother you. It doesn't bother me. It doesn't bother me. I would love to say
00:03:07.800
hi to you. I met a sweet teacher the other day who came up to me while we were working out and was
00:03:14.200
like, your podcast totally changed my perspective on everything. That just warms my heart. Of course,
00:03:18.980
I want you to come up to me and talk to me. I met another one of you the other day with your family
00:03:23.980
who also gave me such sweet encouragement. So please feel free to do that. I love meeting you
00:03:27.860
guys. I've got a lot of events coming up over the next few weeks where I'll have the opportunity to
00:03:32.280
meet you. And I truly just love conversing with you and knowing why you love Relatable. So let me
00:03:38.340
know, though, if we don't have the opportunity to meet each other by leaving a review on the podcast.
00:03:54.260
Okay, first, I want to do a quick follow-up on a story that we talked about yesterday. The story is
00:04:00.340
generating a lot of buzz on Twitter, thanks to a few accounts like libs of TikTok, Matt Walsh,
00:04:08.300
Billboard Chris. If you don't follow Billboard Chris, you absolutely should. I've also been talking
00:04:13.080
about this a lot. And it is the story about Boston Children's Hospital performing a gender,
00:04:22.440
what they call gender affirming surgery, genital mutilation surgery on minors. And we played a few
00:04:29.400
videos yesterday of them endorsing certain procedures like what they call gender affirming
00:04:35.220
hysterectomies and puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones. They talk about children knowing that
00:04:43.760
they are the opposite gender from their biology, basically from the moment of birth. Toddlers,
00:04:49.860
they said, know that they're the opposite gender if they refuse to get a haircut or try to pee standing
00:04:54.920
up. Just absolutely ridiculous stuff. Listen to yesterday's episode if you want a full breakdown
00:05:01.240
of everything involved in that story. But now, because there's been so much pushback,
00:05:08.260
because accounts like libs of TikTok have simply amplified what these doctors are saying,
00:05:14.820
have simply used their own words to say, hey, this is a scary practice that's happening at a
00:05:20.160
children's hospital in Boston. There has been a lot of pushback. There has been an uproar online
00:05:27.240
from sane people who say, hey, we oppose genital mutilation when it comes to, say, Muslim countries
00:05:34.060
doing this, inflicting this upon young girls. Why are we endorsing it, celebrating it, glorifying it
00:05:41.180
here in the name of, quote unquote, gender affirmation? And NBC News is reporting that the hospital
00:05:49.200
apparently is receiving harassment. And here's how NBC News reports on this. Boston Children's
00:05:56.960
Hospital warns employees over far right online harassment campaign. Everything that the left
00:06:02.940
doesn't like is far right. And that is meant to fear monger you. It's actually it. It's actually
00:06:10.080
meant to scare conservatives. I know it might seem like it's targeting their left wing audience. And of
00:06:17.300
course, in a way it is. But what it's doing is it's actually striking fear in the average conservative
00:06:24.600
that if you associate yourselves with people who are critical of the trans movement and critical
00:06:32.720
of the mutilation of minors' genitals, then that makes you not just conservative, but far right.
00:06:39.840
And what is synonymous with far right, at least according to the left? Fascist. What is synonymous
00:06:45.600
with fascist? Nazi. So that's what they're trying to do. They're trying to lump you into the scariest,
00:06:51.460
most extreme category that you can think of. So you will resist criticizing their trans ideology.
00:06:59.660
That's what this reporter at NBC is doing. Let's see if I can guess the name of the reporter.
00:07:06.320
Yep. It's who I thought. Brandy Zdrozny. I don't know how to pronounce her last name.
00:07:13.380
Zdrozny. And Phil McCausland. They wrote this piece for NBC News. And they are reporting that
00:07:20.980
apparently Boston Children's Hospital has become the target of activists because of accounts like
00:07:27.400
libs of TikTok. And that they have received scary calls and threats. And that their online
00:07:36.300
accounts have seen vulgar and harassing comments. And then Boston Children's Hospital released a
00:07:44.360
statement saying, in response to commentary last week, critical of our gender multi-specialty
00:07:50.700
service, the GMS program. I said that the more appropriate name would be the genital mutilation
00:07:57.280
service. Boston Children's Hospital has been the target of a large volume of hostile internet
00:08:02.480
activity. Oh, no. Phone calls and harassing emails, including threats of violence towards our
00:08:08.020
clinicians and staff. And so obviously, I will never endorse threats of violence because these
00:08:14.660
doctors are inflicting violence upon children. Children don't have the capacity. Minors don't have
00:08:19.320
the capacity to consent, especially to something as invasive and as permanent as a hysterectomy or
00:08:26.480
puberty blockers or any kind of treatment that is harming the healthy bodies of young people for the
00:08:34.060
sake of trying to align their physical appearance with their stated identity. I mean, that is a form
00:08:41.280
of violence. Now, do I think that people who are responding to the violence that's happening at
00:08:46.760
Boston Children's Hospital with further threats of violence, that that is the right mode of operation?
00:08:52.300
No, I don't. But do I think that the far greater threat here, the far worse thing that's happening
00:08:59.180
is the actual physical violence that is happening to these young children and that is being celebrated
00:09:04.800
by places like NBC News? Of course I do. So to be perfectly honest, like if I'm going to prioritize
00:09:10.940
my concerns here, if I'm going to prioritize my condemnation, the people leaving mean voicemails and
00:09:17.420
mean comments on the social media accounts of the hospital that's performing these just absolutely
00:09:23.640
nightmarish procedures on minors, I just, I don't, I can't find it. I can't find it within me to find
00:09:34.340
anywhere close to the same anger for the people who are supposedly harassing the Children's Hospital.
00:09:40.880
Now, they're saying that they're saying that they have to up security and that they're taking all of
00:09:48.760
these measures to try to protect themselves and their staff. But Billboard Chris, the account that
00:09:54.420
I mentioned earlier, who is really fighting this battle against the genital mutilation of children,
00:10:00.560
he has a source, he says, within Boston Children's Hospital. And he shared an email that was sent from
00:10:08.460
Boston Children's Hospital to all employees. And this source says they have told us nothing about
00:10:14.720
increasing security. They also lied repeatedly about the age for procedures. And so you're seeing
00:10:22.240
that Boston Children's Hospital and their advocates in the media are saying, oh, these things aren't
00:10:28.440
happening to minors. These kinds of procedures like hysterectomies and mastectomies, that's not
00:10:34.740
happening to minors. It's only happening to people who are 18 years old. And then I would ask, well,
00:10:39.920
why are you putting out these informational videos as a children's hospital then? That doesn't make a
00:10:45.760
whole lot of sense. And as we talked about yesterday, like if you go to the gender, whatever it's called,
00:10:53.280
the gender multi-specialty service is what they call it. If you go to their website and you look at
00:11:00.120
their banner, who do they have? What picture do they have in the banner of their website? Is it
00:11:05.700
an 18-year-old? No, it's about a two to three-year-old. And so I'm not saying that they're
00:11:10.500
performing hysterectomies on two to three-year-olds, but they obviously are targeting young children
00:11:15.460
when they are talking about these procedures and gender transition. And so Billboard, Chris's
00:11:25.200
source says this, that they lied repeatedly about the age for procedures they still have up,
00:11:31.120
that they perform mastectomies on 15-year-olds. And we also talked about a couple of weeks ago
00:11:37.340
that there was a doctor in Oakland, California at a hospital there who said on tape that the youngest
00:11:45.920
patient they have performed a double mastectomy on, a double mastectomy, was a 12-year-old.
00:11:53.480
A 12-year-old. I don't know if that's happening at Boston Children's Hospital. I pray to God not.
00:11:59.380
But I have a really hard time believing they are reserving those kinds of procedures
00:12:03.160
for 18-year-olds. Now, Christina Button's also a great follow when it comes to the dangers of
00:12:08.900
gender ideology. She said that Boston Children's Hospital has quietly updated their website since
00:12:13.480
her original report that these procedures were happening on very young people. And she said the age
00:12:18.640
for boys who want to surgically invert their penis into a pseudo-vagina, I mean, that
00:12:23.480
just phrase awful, has been raised to 18. Previously, it was younger than that. She said,
00:12:31.000
luckily, I saved the PDF that reveals that they performed it on minors. Their previous PDF,
00:12:38.560
their previous guidelines after her report said that you must be between 17 and 35 years of age
00:12:46.320
at the time of surgery. So that's a minor. Maybe you think it's no big deal. It's just one year.
00:12:51.080
Okay, well, them saying that they don't perform these things on minors would still be a lie
00:12:54.600
if they are performing these procedures on 17-year-olds. So this is really disturbing.
00:13:05.920
I can't find it within my heart to feel any sympathy for the doctors, the psychologists,
00:13:13.360
the surgeons that are not only affirming but also performing these surgeries. I just can't.
00:13:19.380
You're ruining the lives of young people. They don't have the capacity to scent. You're cutting
00:13:23.960
off healthy breasts. You're removing a healthy uterus and fallopian tubes and ovaries, rendering
00:13:29.580
them sterile. In many cases, you are putting off puberty. You are stopping puberty. In many cases,
00:13:36.940
also possibly rendering them sterile for the rest of their lives. At the very least, you are harming
00:13:43.080
their bodies. Our bodies need puberty. It is natural. And not just that, but our minds need puberty.
00:13:47.840
And so I don't have a lot of sympathy. I don't have a lot of sympathy for the doctors, for the
00:13:54.660
nurses, for the journalists that are endorsing this kind of thing and practicing this kind of
00:13:59.100
thing. I don't. All of my compassion is directed towards the kids, even if they might say that,
00:14:05.780
yes, they need this. Yes, they want this. Directed towards the kids who are enduring this kind of
00:14:11.220
thing. And also it's directed towards the people who are sounding the alarm about these scary
00:14:16.600
treatments who are now receiving their own death threats and their own threats of violence. I mean,
00:14:22.420
conservatives who go against the mainstream when it comes to these so-called culture wars,
00:14:27.760
these moral wars, are on the receiving end of far more vulgarity, trust me, than any left-wing
00:14:35.820
journalist or left-wing activist because the left-wing is endorsed by the state. It's endorsed by these
00:14:42.080
major institutions. It's endorsed by the mainstream media. It's endorsed by big tech, academia, the public
00:14:48.120
school system. So, I mean, conservatives, especially Christian conservatives, really have no institutional
00:14:54.360
power or protection from the threats of violence that we receive because of our views. And by the way,
00:15:01.900
the left-wing, when it comes to this, are the ones endorsing actual physical violence. So I just don't have
00:15:08.960
a whole lot of sympathy for them. Yeah, of course, people are outraged. Of course, people are expressing
00:15:13.900
their outrage. Of course, people are raising a ruckus about this. This journalist said, oh, I can't
00:15:20.060
believe people are attacking the children's hospitals just beyond. So you're saying if you found out that
00:15:25.520
something terrible was happening or something that you consider terrible happening at a children's
00:15:30.480
hospital, that you wouldn't say something? Like, let's all agree on something that would be awful if you
00:15:35.680
found out that Boston Children's Hospital was refusing to treat kids who are black. Like, wouldn't you be
00:15:43.060
angry about that? You're saying you wouldn't attack a children's hospital if you found out a practice
00:15:47.580
like that was going on? So don't you see that because we see this is terrible, that we are attacking
00:15:53.360
this children, that we are criticizing in the strongest terms this children's hospital? Like, that doesn't
00:16:00.800
click for you. But of course, as I've said before, gender ideology is, it's a religion. It's a
00:16:06.700
superstition. And so they don't have to be consistent. They don't have to be logical. They don't have to
00:16:11.980
be based in reality or based in science. It's based in feeling. It's based in ideology. It's based in
00:16:17.740
dogma more than anything else. So it doesn't have to make sense. They can use ridiculous circular
00:16:23.180
maxims like trans girls are girls or trans boys are boys. And it doesn't actually have to mean
00:16:29.000
anything. It defies all laws of logic. But because it's a self affirming religion, they can just
00:16:36.100
repeat these things. And the more they repeat them, the more they feel to be true. That's how
00:16:40.960
propaganda works. That's how propaganda works. And so the propagandists at NBC are trying their
00:16:46.980
darndest. And man, Matt Walsh lives with TikTok. I know they get a lot of support. They have a lot of
00:16:52.380
fans. But they're also receiving like a lot of hate right now and not just hate. But I mean,
00:16:59.060
we're talking like defamation. People are doctoring images of things that they're saying that Matt Walsh
00:17:06.480
said that he never actually posted and never actually said. I mean, if there is ever a case
00:17:12.340
for defamation, if anyone should ever go after someone in their livelihood because of defamation,
00:17:19.100
I think this case with Matt Walsh and some of the activists that he's been battling against is
00:17:23.180
one of them. Okay, I want to talk about this crazy story out of Minneapolis. The Minneapolis
00:17:39.160
teachers unions are apparently saying that they are that they would like white teachers to be laid off
00:17:47.620
first in the public school system before black or brown teachers for the sake of what is it,
00:17:53.340
children? Equity. You guys know this newfangled definition of equity. It used to be like the
00:18:00.420
biblical definition of equity. The actual definition of equity would be impartiality. And so not showing
00:18:08.040
favoritism towards anyone because of their socioeconomic status, because of their gender,
00:18:14.280
because of their race, it would be treating everyone with the same rules. While the newfangled
00:18:22.120
left-wing communist definition of equity is treating people by different rules in order to try to
00:18:30.860
manufacture the same outcomes. And so that is what's going on here. In the name of this newfangled
00:18:39.280
partial equity, so actually the opposite of what equity is supposed to be, they are saying that
00:18:47.160
they are going to discriminate against white teachers in order to show favoritism to black
00:18:54.100
and brown teachers to try to apparently make up for what they say is past discrimination against black
00:19:00.700
and brown teachers. So this is according to Fox News. This was published on August 15th.
00:19:05.440
Minneapolis Teachers Union agreement stipulates white teachers be laid off first, regardless of
00:19:11.340
seniority. The agreement was reached to end a three-week teacher strike last spring. In April,
00:19:18.140
4,500 Minneapolis teachers and education support professionals went on strike to demand smaller
00:19:23.500
class sizes, better benefits, more mental health resources for students, increased workforce diversity,
00:19:30.740
higher wages. The strike went for three weeks, so three weeks without school for students.
00:19:35.080
who already had to suffer in this area, subpar virtual education during COVID. So once again,
00:19:44.720
we sacrifice the needs of children, the welfare of children on the altar of adults' wants. Now,
00:19:51.320
I'm not saying that all of these demands are bad. I'm not saying there shouldn't be smaller class
00:19:56.360
sizes. I'm not saying there shouldn't be better benefits. I'm not really sure. Now, what these
00:20:01.360
teachers probably don't understand is that the teachers unions are actually to blame, in a lot
00:20:07.840
of cases, for their lower pay, for their bad benefits, for the lack of positive change in the
00:20:15.540
public school classroom. Unions really don't work on behalf of teachers anymore. They work on behalf of
00:20:21.420
the Democrat Party. They work on behalf of themselves. You know that we have increased funding in real
00:20:27.020
dollars dramatically over the past 50 years. And yet teachers' wages have gone up by maybe 2%. And yet we
00:20:35.260
have grown also dramatically the administrative bloat in the public school system. And the teachers
00:20:42.160
unions themselves have grown. So where is all the money going? The money is not going to the teachers.
00:20:46.740
The money is not translating into better performance for the students. The money is simply
00:20:53.640
empowering these unions, which then turns around and empowers the Democratic Party, empowers the
00:20:58.980
administrators, and also empowers the insulation of really bad and sometimes predatory teachers.
00:21:05.300
If you haven't heard of rubber rooms, where teachers who were either terrible teachers, and so
00:21:10.760
they just couldn't teach in the classroom anymore, or teachers who were found guilty
00:21:14.440
of sexual harassment, and in some cases, sexual assault, they go to these rubber rooms still being paid
00:21:22.180
by your tax dollars rather than being fired. And they can just work there basically doing nothing,
00:21:27.940
maybe filing papers for years on end, funded by your tax dollars and not receiving any repercussions
00:21:35.080
for doing such a terrible job, and in some cases, a criminal job as teachers. Look it up for yourself.
00:21:41.840
Look up rubber rooms. New York Post has a few articles about this. And look at the kind of people that
00:21:47.860
are making hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of several years, buy your tax dollars
00:21:55.080
after failing at their job as teachers. And so teachers unions, I've said many times,
00:22:00.200
are so corrupt. Public unions in general are immoral and unethical because our tax dollars should not,
00:22:07.700
our tax dollars should not be funding these unions that are then turning around and funding the
00:22:16.040
campaigns of people that we do not want in office. Like, think about this. You've got a public
00:22:21.920
police union, and you say you're a Democrat, and you know that this public police union is then
00:22:29.720
turning around and they are donating to the campaign of, for example, Ron DeSantis. Doesn't that make you
00:22:36.240
angry that your tax dollars are helping Ron DeSantis win? Well, I don't like that my tax dollars are going
00:22:41.660
to the teachers unions and are then trying to fund the campaign of Nancy Pelosi or whoever it is.
00:22:49.740
So it's unethical. It's immoral, the whole idea of public sector unions. But teachers unions are
00:22:55.360
probably the most corrupt. I mean, they kept kids out of school. We saw teacher after teacher that are
00:23:02.200
a part of these teachers unions say, oh, no, I just want to protect myself. I don't want to die. So I
00:23:08.480
can't go to school. I'm scared that I'm going to catch COVID, even though I'm like healthy and 27
00:23:13.240
years old. And then you would see that a couple of weeks later, they're on the beach in Bora Bora
00:23:17.460
without a mask. I'm not saying that characterizes even close to all teachers. But unfortunately, we saw
00:23:22.520
the hypocrisy and the corruption big time, big time from these teachers unions. And that's because
00:23:28.920
they are, it's not because, but partly because they are liberal and they're in bed with Democratic
00:23:35.680
politicians and they push liberal ideology, which is always going to be bad for students.
00:23:41.020
So the agreement says if accessing laying off a teacher who is a member of a population
00:23:46.620
underrepresented among licensed teachers on the site, the district shall access the next least
00:23:51.640
senior teacher who is not a member of an underrepresented population. I mean, talk about
00:23:56.800
just wordy hogwash. I have no idea how they're even defining underrepresented. Are they just looking
00:24:03.820
at the raw numbers? Are they looking at the proportion? Are they looking at the number
00:24:09.520
relation in relation to like how many people in that community are part of that race? I don't even
00:24:17.800
know. But I think that we can translate this. Actually, I know that we can translate this. We know
00:24:22.100
what this means, that this means that white teachers need to be laid off first. Black and brown
00:24:27.920
teachers need to get priority in keeping their jobs. The district shall prioritize the recall
00:24:33.860
of a teacher who is a member of a population underrepresented among licensed teachers in the
00:24:39.300
district. According to the agreement, the purpose is to solve for quote unquote past discrimination
00:24:44.500
by the district, which the agreement said disproportionately impacted the hiring of
00:24:49.000
underrepresented teachers in the district as compared to the relevant labor market in the community
00:24:52.960
and resulted in a lack of diversity of teachers. Of course, what they mean by diversity is just
00:24:57.120
melanin count. So they're just talking about the superficial form of diversity. They're not
00:25:01.020
talking about diversity of philosophy or religious beliefs or age or ability. They are simply talking
00:25:07.480
about the most superficial form of diversity, which is a diversity of melanin count. They're not even
00:25:12.840
talking about a diversity of nationality. They're not interested in like having a teacher from France
00:25:17.540
and having a teacher from Iceland. They are only interested in how a person looks. And this is the
00:25:23.080
Ibram X. Kendi anti-racism so-called method of justice and equity in order to make up for supposed
00:25:33.520
and alleged past discrimination. They never have to actually give specific examples that relate to
00:25:39.300
their particular community and situation. They have to commit current discrimination. That is literally
00:25:47.140
what Ibram X. Kendi says in his book, how to be an anti-racist. In order to remedy past discrimination,
00:25:53.820
you have to perpetrate discrimination today based on skin color. But look, that doesn't actually make
00:26:02.980
up for anything. That doesn't actually help. It might satisfy your resentment. It might make you feel
00:26:10.480
better in your bitterness, but it doesn't actually help anything. All it does is cause more resentment.
00:26:17.180
Because look, the teachers who are there today who are white had nothing to do with the supposed or
00:26:22.980
alleged discrimination of the past. So you're actually punishing someone who did nothing wrong.
00:26:27.960
You are punishing someone because of the color of their skin. That's not justice. That is partiality.
00:26:33.980
So they really believe either that two wrongs will make a right or simply because there was apparently
00:26:39.340
maybe at one point a past wrong that they have to commit a wrong today. Again, that is not motivated by
00:26:44.800
justice. It's not motivated by true equity. It's not motivated by a true sincere desire for equality.
00:26:51.780
It's motivated by resentment. It's motivated by bitterness. That's why I just have no tolerance for Christians
00:26:58.020
who say that they're on board with Ibram X. Kendi and his philosophy for how we achieve liberation or freedom
00:27:05.760
or equality because it's motivated by the things that Christians are called to resist.
00:27:11.220
Bitterness and malice and resentment and anger, especially when it comes to someone's skin color.
00:27:18.060
No, it is not godly. It is not biblical to punish someone today for the sins of someone
00:27:23.340
who may have looked like them kind of several years ago.
00:27:27.780
Like the conversation about racial reparations or slave reparations, people say on the other side,
00:27:37.540
say, well, there's biblical precedent or historical precedent for paying reparations for the sins of
00:27:43.760
your ancestors. And then, of course, people on my side will say, well, no, you shouldn't pay for
00:27:49.560
the sins of your ancestors. And even though the consequences of sin might visit a person's kids
00:27:55.080
and grandkids, they are not responsible for directly paying for their sins of their fathers
00:28:00.440
and grandfathers. That has a biblical basis. But it's even beyond that what people who are saying
00:28:06.340
that white people should like pay reparations to the government that's then, you know, paying black
00:28:11.240
people for like the oppression of their ancestors. It's even beyond that. We're not being called to pay
00:28:18.380
for the sins of our ancestors. White people aren't being called to pay for their sins of their ancestors
00:28:24.060
when it comes to reparations or when it comes to enduring current discrimination to right past
00:28:28.120
discrimination. We are being called to pay for the sins of people who kind of shared our same melanin
00:28:36.140
count hundreds of years ago. Like the assumption and the kind of logic that we have to pay for the
00:28:41.420
sins of our ancestors is that all of our ancestors own slaves. Well, no, most of our ancestors didn't own
00:28:47.300
slaves. It was a very small percentage of Americans, black, white and Native American, by the way,
00:28:53.700
all of these races own slaves. So that complicates the reparations mathematics as well. But it's a
00:28:58.840
very small percentage of Americans that ever owned slaves. So what you're saying is not just that white
00:29:03.420
people should pay for the sins of their ancestors, but also but really that white people should pay
00:29:07.840
for the sins of people who kind of remotely looked like them a long time ago and that black people
00:29:12.380
should receive reparations because people that looked like them a long time ago endured oppression.
00:29:18.140
So it doesn't really have any kind of direct correlation, again, to any reality or logic.
00:29:24.660
But once you realize that secular progressivism is a kind of religion and it is kind of based in
00:29:30.840
maxims and dogma rather than truth, then you understand that the contradictions are kind of just
00:29:36.400
baked in. And so it's just interesting how we are seeing very explicit, explicit examples of racism
00:29:46.240
against white teachers, explicit examples of racism against white teachers. And yet people have the
00:29:52.800
audacity to say, well, only white people can be racist because only white people have power. How are you
00:30:00.020
defining power? Do these teachers who are saying that they're going to be fired first because of their
00:30:04.860
skin color, what power do they have? Once again, like the definitions for the social justice movement
00:30:13.140
are not based in reality. They're not based in anything reasonable. They're not based in any
00:30:19.600
logic. How does someone who is being fired because of their skin color, their white skin color, have
00:30:25.280
power in that situation? Of course, it is possible for you to be racist, for you to be a bigot if you
00:30:31.140
are black or brown or whatever. Of course. And as a Christian, like how could any Christian possibly take on
00:30:37.560
this ridiculous, ludicrous definition of racism as something that only one kind of person can
00:30:44.340
perpetrate? You think that's going to let you off the hook when we stand before the judge? You think
00:30:49.600
that you're going to get away with the bigotry and the hate and the anger and the malice and the
00:30:54.380
bitterness that you have against people because of their white skin color? Because, hey, racism, I define
00:31:01.160
racism as prejudice plus power. And because I don't have power, it's not possible for me to be racist.
00:31:06.600
Like, first of all, I don't think God is going to say, hey, were you racist? Of course, he's going
00:31:11.780
to say, did you have hate in your heart? Or, you know, I'm not speaking literally here, but that is
00:31:16.720
how the heart is judged by hate for any motivation, for any reason. And so you're not going to be let
00:31:25.260
off the hook because you have decided to follow the standards of the world when it comes to who can be
00:31:32.500
prejudiced and who can't be prejudiced based on their melanin count. Thankfully, we actually
00:31:37.320
follow an equitable God, a sincerely, truly equitable God. We actually follow an impartial
00:31:44.700
judge who hates partiality, who hates any judgment that defers to the poor or to the great, to the black
00:31:50.940
or to the white, to the man or to the woman. He is completely impartial in his judgment.
00:31:56.000
We also know that everyone is equally dead in sin apart from Christ. Everyone is equally alive in
00:32:03.720
Christ because of grace, if by grace through faith, they have believed in him for the salvation of
00:32:09.240
their sins. And so the gospel also brings this crazy, radical in some ways, impartiality and equality
00:32:18.500
before God, dead in sin or alive in Christ. So this kind of prejudiced, partial, hate and malice motivated
00:32:29.980
social justice that we see is not in alignment with biblical justice. It is anti-biblical. It is
00:32:36.180
anti-justice. It is anti-gospel. And therefore, it is always going to breed chaos. It is always going to
00:32:42.900
breed hate. It's always going to breed more division. It's going to breed unfairness, as we are seeing from
00:32:46.940
these teachers. Now, I hope all of all of the wonderful teachers, if they are wonderful teachers
00:32:52.380
who are fired because of their skin color, I hope that they move on to somewhere else and they give
00:32:57.540
their gift of teaching to to other people. This is wrong. This is unjust. We see more. Here's here's
00:33:05.440
the truth. Hey, oh, we see more explicit examples of anti-white racism and institutions today than we see
00:33:13.300
towards any other race. That's the truth. So before we get into the Kamala Harris video, I did just want
00:33:30.240
to bring up a book that I've been meaning to talk about called The Last White Man. It's a novel by
00:33:36.200
Mohsen Hamid. Of course, it is being praised and it is a fantasy of a future without
00:33:43.160
white people. So here's how NPR describes it. So Hamid's main character, a white guy with the
00:33:49.560
Nordic name of Anders, who one morning woke up to find he had turned a deep and undeniable brown.
00:33:54.740
Exorably, that mysterious darkening begins spreading to white people all around this unnamed
00:34:00.940
country. And of course, Hamid thinks that this is a wonderful thing. All journalists apparently think
00:34:06.680
this is a wonderful thing. And there is this fantasy. If there was no Western civilization,
00:34:10.720
if there were no white people, then everyone would finally get along. There would be less
00:34:15.660
war. There would be less violence. There wouldn't be slavery. There wouldn't be inequality. There
00:34:19.720
wouldn't be the oppression that we've had in the world, of course. And it is, of course, that is a
00:34:24.480
fantasy. I mean, look around the world at different countries that have no white people that have their
00:34:31.320
countries that have zero white people, that are largely unaffected by the West, by white people
00:34:39.820
at all. And you will see that they are not without their serious problems. They are not without their
00:34:45.840
violence. They are not without their oppression. How's Afghanistan doing? Now, I will say that some
00:34:51.020
of that does have to do absolutely with Western policy. But they didn't cause, of course, the Taliban
00:34:58.320
to have the ideology that they do in oppressing women and children. There are plenty of countries
00:35:04.780
around the world that don't have any white people whatsoever that have enslaved, that have oppressed,
00:35:10.040
that don't even have any kind of concept whatsoever of human rights. You know, Western civilization,
00:35:16.100
regardless of the race of the people there, you know, Western civilization is unique in its view of
00:35:21.580
innate human rights. Like, you know, that's why we have any conversations at all about how the
00:35:27.760
government should be treating people. This idea of equality or equal justice is rooted in this unique
00:35:36.500
concept of Christianity on which Western civilization was founded. Like, you understand that that is also
00:35:44.180
what has guided things like the abolition of slavery. Slavery is still practiced by many countries
00:35:49.740
throughout the world today, and most of them have never even seen a white person and are not guided
00:35:56.300
by anything to do with white people or Western civilization. And so this apparently is acceptable
00:36:01.740
to write a book about white people going extinct and to be excited about that fact. Now, again,
00:36:10.380
I ask you to consider if someone today wrote a book about any other race, would it be accepted?
00:36:19.740
Would it be celebrated? Would NPR be writing about it? Most people aren't even going to bat an eye as
00:36:25.760
I'm talking about this because they're used to this kind of thing. And yet we are still
00:36:28.940
being convinced on a daily basis that the real hate is towards everyone else. That's interesting.
00:36:35.780
I mean, I don't get I don't feel like playing a victim. I don't feel like a victim. Like, I don't
00:36:41.540
really care about this. I think it's wrong. I think it's obviously leading to institutional
00:36:45.860
discrimination against people because of their melanin count. And I think that that's wrong,
00:36:50.080
no matter what your skin color is. But I don't feel like a victim because of this. I'm not
00:36:55.380
interested in playing that in playing that role or fulfilling that role. It is what it is. So let's
00:37:00.520
let's just be reasonable about this. Let's see things as they are. Let's not be propagandized
00:37:05.240
into believing that oppression can only come in one form from one type of people to another group of
00:37:11.920
people. That's unreasonable, right? That's illogical. That's not using your brain. Let's
00:37:16.120
use the brains that God has given us to be able to determine what is actually just and right and
00:37:21.360
what is not. All right. Kamala Harris has some brilliant words on equity. She was speaking at an
00:37:27.220
event called the Oakland Generation Fund event on August 12th. And it was to announce a $50 million
00:37:33.400
initiative to funnel money to existing programs that financially support children and students pursuing
00:37:38.840
higher education in Harris's hometown of Oakland. The program gives $1,000 to every low-income public
00:37:47.200
school student who plans to attend post-secondary education. So she believes that this is important
00:37:55.740
for the sake of equity, which, of course, as we've already said, means equal outcomes between Black
00:38:02.200
students, White students, Asian students. I'm not saying that this is a bad program. I don't really know.
00:38:06.940
But is it going to achieve equal outcomes? I can guarantee that it won't. But that's kind of beside the
00:38:13.080
point. I just want us to stand in awe of Kamala Harris's rhetorical abilities here. Here she is.
00:38:21.300
So equity, as a concept says, recognize that everyone has the same capacity. But in order for them to have
00:38:30.940
equal opportunity to reach that capacity, what we must pay attention to this issue of equity,
00:38:38.020
if we are to expect and allow people to compete on equal footing.
00:38:44.680
What? What? Do you notice how she always repeats herself? How she just says, like, equity is equity.
00:38:52.440
We have to pay attention to equity if we want equity. Of course, not defining her terms at all.
00:38:59.100
I think that we can probably judge what she means by equity. Again, they don't actually mean
00:39:05.180
fairness. They don't actually mean equality. They don't even mean an even playing field. And that is
00:39:10.560
something that I agree with. I want an even playing field. Although, again, the government trying to
00:39:15.960
manufacture an even playing field, almost impossible. To have an even playing field, you have to make sure
00:39:21.680
that everyone has the same family makeup. Everyone makes the same amount of money. Everyone has the
00:39:27.960
same personality. Everyone has the same abilities in their brain and body. So that in itself is
00:39:35.900
impossible. It's impossible to create an even playing field there. So think about how much more
00:39:40.560
impossible it is to guarantee equal outcomes. If you have two different people, two different kids
00:39:46.460
from the same family, twins from the same family, and you gave them everything, they probably will have
00:39:51.720
unequal outcomes in some areas of their life. One of them is going to make more money doing
00:39:56.360
something else. One of them is going to get better grades in a certain class than the other one. You
00:40:00.660
can't guarantee equal outcomes. And that, of course, is what the Democratic Party, the social justice
00:40:04.980
movement, thinks they can do by giving more power to the government and by funneling more money to
00:40:10.640
people. I'm not saying the government is always bad. I'm not saying the government shouldn't have
00:40:13.720
any policy. I'm not saying that we shouldn't have well-funded programs in some cases. But just
00:40:20.420
understand what they mean by equity. It typically means prioritizing certain people at the expense of
00:40:28.300
others. A good example of that is like college acceptance of Black and Hispanic students at the
00:40:34.880
expense of accepting white and Asian students who may even be more qualified and meet the standards
00:40:42.900
even better than the students that they are picking for the sake of equity. It really doesn't help
00:40:48.160
anyone. It does not help anyone. All right. There's a ton. There are so many other things I wanted to
00:40:55.760
talk about today. I'll just list some of the things I want to talk about so I can remember to maybe talk
00:40:59.800
about them on Monday. Won't talk about them tomorrow because I've got an awesome interview. But as more
00:41:05.240
information comes out, we will be talking about the DOJ that's apparently investigating the Southern
00:41:10.300
Baptist Convention. I'm sure that this has nothing to do with the fact that the Southern Baptist
00:41:15.040
Convention is extremely conservative and that they typically vote for Donald Trump and oppose the
00:41:22.580
regime when it comes to gender ideology and all of that. I'm sure it's just totally equal justice
00:41:28.200
there. I also wanted to mention this guy who I think identifies as a girl who rushed in Alabama
00:41:35.280
sororities and he ended up getting cut from all of the sororities. Very strange, interesting situation
00:41:42.000
that I wanted to talk about but don't have time today. And there are a few other things. Oh, I did
00:41:48.800
want to talk about two. Again, I think I'll probably... Oh, let's see. No, I'm going to talk about this
00:41:55.400
right now really quickly because it's happening tomorrow. So there's a church in Fresno. It's called
00:42:01.180
Well Church, and they are having a conference. I believe it's this weekend talking about biblical
00:42:06.060
sexuality and gender, preaching from the Bible what Christians have believed for thousands of years
00:42:10.540
about sex and marriage and gender. I think it's Denny Burke who is actually speaking there.
00:42:17.280
And Becca from The Bachelor, she decided that she was going to make this ridiculous video about this
00:42:23.160
saying that this is hateful, homophobic, transphobic, all this stuff, and that, hey, the Bible doesn't
00:42:27.380
condemn all of that. I did a response to that on Instagram, so you can go check that out. But that
00:42:32.380
generated a lot of ire and a lot of angst from LGBTQ groups in Fresno, California that are now going
00:42:41.100
out to protest Well Church. And so you see the imperialistic, totalitarian nature of progressivism
00:42:47.860
that they say that they're, oh, live and let live. We're so tolerant. But actually, they can't even
00:42:53.000
stand a church in the privacy of their own walls preaching something that does not agree with
00:42:59.540
secular progressivism. Like, they are calling Christians fascists. They say that Christians
00:43:06.960
are Christian nationalists simply for allowing the Bible to inform our views of politics and culture.
00:43:12.100
But they are the ones literally showing up at churches. This organization, U.S. Park Valley,
00:43:17.640
is apparently going to their church tomorrow to protest them because of what they're preaching at
00:43:23.180
their own church. Leftists cannot stand that there are people in the world that think differently
00:43:28.240
than them and speak differently than them. I mean, are they also protesting the Muslim churches that
00:43:33.700
think the same thing? Are they protesting some of the conservative synagogues that think the same
00:43:37.400
thing? No, it's just Christians because Christians tend to vote Republican. And because, once again,
00:43:44.480
white evangelicals are a part in their convoluted thinking of the oppressor class. And because of that,
00:43:51.380
because of that convoluted thinking, they are willing to try to push back on them, protest them,
00:43:57.040
stop them from preaching the Word of God. I am praying for the Wild Church, as well as every
00:44:01.420
church, by the way, that stands strong on the Word of God, especially when it comes to sexuality
00:44:05.980
and gender. You should pray for the Wild Church, too. They're going to be receiving a continued just
00:44:12.820
like deluge of hate and protesting. And so just pray. I know they will stand fast and hold strong.
00:44:19.980
I've already talked to some of the people who are involved in the church. And so I hope that this,
00:44:24.500
though, just like emboldens them more and empowers them more and that the Holy Spirit fills them up
00:44:30.140
and that even some of the people protesting them will hear the gospel and that their hearts would
00:44:35.520
change. That is how I pray for these enemies who really are. I mean, these people who are protesting
00:44:40.180
this church, they are my enemies. And I pray that God would change their heart using the power of the
00:44:44.440
gospel. I pray for every church, every pastor, every preacher that you would continue to stand strong
00:44:49.240
on the Word of God. Christians have received a lot more pushback, a lot more hate, a lot greater
00:44:54.060
threats than the ones that we are receiving today and have stood firm. You can do it, too. It's the
00:44:59.660
same Holy Spirit that empowered martyrs to stand for their faith, even in the face of death. You can do it,
00:45:06.820
too. Okay, so this is just like a feel good video of someone caring for someone that is smaller than
00:45:28.320
them, weaker than them, thinking of their needs first. It is, I think it's a siblings. I think
00:45:34.460
it's an older brother and a little sister. If you're listening to this, he is like running through
00:45:39.920
the rain, holding his little sister and has her covered in his rain jacket. And I just thought
00:45:47.820
it was so sweet. So we can play that now. That's so cute. So he had his little sister actually like
00:45:53.820
under his t-shirt. So he had like put his t-shirt over his little sister running through the rain to
00:45:58.120
get in the car with his parents to make sure she was protected from the rain. That's so sweet. We should
00:46:03.220
all be raising our children, but especially our boys to take care of those who are smaller than
00:46:09.140
them, those who need help. Man, the world would be a much better place if that is what we were all
00:46:17.020
doing as people and also as parents. All right, that's all we got for today. Tomorrow, I've got an
00:46:23.220
awesome interview for you. We are going to be talking to Monica Klein. She used to work for Planned
00:46:29.260
Parenthood as a quote unquote family planning educator and pro-abortion, pro all kinds of
00:46:37.840
sexual promiscuity and all kinds of gender ideology and was teaching this stuff to kids
00:46:45.760
in schools. And then God saved her, redeemed her, and has been using her expertise in her story for
00:46:51.320
good. Now she educates families on the importance of discipling your kids and what God says is good
00:46:57.240
when it comes to biblical sexuality. But she's going to talk to us about what really goes on at
00:47:02.760
Planned Parenthood, what their philosophy is, why they kind of push this so-called comprehensive sex
00:47:09.480
education on kids. I mean, it's really shocking. It's important for us to know, but also such an
00:47:15.300
amazing and encouraging testimony of redemption. I love that God is a God of redemption. So we're going
00:47:20.620
to be reminded of that in a very poignant way tomorrow. All right. One reminder, one reminder,
00:47:26.300
we are taking voicemails, mom moment voicemail. Sometimes we take voicemails and we'll play a
00:47:31.940
couple of them at the end of an episode. So we'll probably do that in a couple of weeks after we get
00:47:36.780
a few from you guys. So mom moment, I just mean like funny, heartwarming, challenging, relatable moment.
00:47:42.920
Maybe your kid said something that made you think or made you laugh or just a moment that we can all
00:47:47.400
relate to or piece of advice. For us moms, call 682-503-1369. Leave a concise voicemail that's 682-503-1369.
00:47:59.320
Don't say anything that you don't want shared on air. That's just my piece of advice to you.
00:48:05.540
All right. Have a great rest of your day. We will be back here tomorrow.
