Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 671 ｜ Fake Racism, Fake Oppression, Fake Science, Fake Love

00:00:00.000 A race hoax at Brigham Young University proves our country's demand for oppression far outpaces

00:00:06.380 its supply. Speaking of faux oppression, Meghan Markle compares her marriage to Harry

00:00:12.140 to the heroism of Nelson Mandela. The American Academy of Pediatrics is lying about masks on

00:00:19.320 kids again. And the girls at Barstool Sports think if you don't want your husband getting 1.00

00:00:25.180 a lap dance at a strip club, you're the problem. This is an episode about truth versus lies and

00:00:31.820 why it is important to know the difference. This episode is brought to you by our friends

00:00:41.820 slash Allie. Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Thursday.

00:00:55.180 We have almost made it through the week. If you haven't listened to yesterday's spontaneous

00:00:59.180 episode with Allie and friends where we talk about a bunch of ridiculous things, you should.

00:01:04.880 I realized as I was listening back to the episode yesterday, how much when I'm in casual conversation,

00:01:10.340 not when I'm delivering monologues to you guys, but when I am in casual conversation,

00:01:15.500 I say like so much. Oh my gosh. It's like I'm a millennial girl or something. So apologize for that.

00:01:24.260 Also, some of you pushed back a little bit on me saying I'm not sure that dinosaurs are real saying

00:01:32.340 that, okay, they're in the book of Job. They're described in different parts of the Bible.

00:01:36.580 Perhaps they could have also just been really big animals or dragons. I'm not even really saying that

00:01:44.080 dinosaurs didn't exist. I don't really care one way or the other. I just think it is a little odd how

00:01:51.360 all of these scientists say that they know what a pterodactyl sounds like and exactly what their

00:01:57.120 skin looked like, the pattern of their scales. That's just a little bit hard for me to believe.

00:02:04.440 Hey, if that's just part of your imagination, awesome. Like maybe we should ask Ross from

00:02:09.340 Friends or something how exactly the science of paleontology happens. I'm just saying I got some

00:02:16.340 questions. All right. Speaking of things that are just not true, let's talk about this volleyball

00:02:22.980 story of this girl who said that she was called a racial slur while she was playing volleyball at

00:02:31.040 Brigham Young University. This has caused an uproar on social media. There were several

00:02:38.060 news outlets that were reporting this saying that this poor young girl was called the N-word 1.00

00:02:44.960 by a student at BYU in the student section. What's his name? Stephen Smith. He's a commentator and

00:02:56.680 he's a sportscaster and he went on TV saying how awful this is and now how BYU is going to be held

00:03:04.580 accountable. People aren't going to want to go there anymore because apparently this young black 1.00

00:03:09.320 girl was called an N-word by someone at Brigham Young. Well, it turns out that this story, like

00:03:19.400 so many stories like this recently that we don't even have time to talk about on this podcast when

00:03:24.520 they happen, it's a hoax. It didn't actually happen. So let's back up. Let me break this down.

00:03:30.400 This is according to the Washington Post. On August 26th, the spectator at Brigham Young's

00:03:35.080 Smith Fieldhouse allegedly, at least they said allegedly, yelled a racial slur at a black player

00:03:41.880 on Duke University's volleyball team. The player said the threats caused us to feel unsafe and their

00:03:47.240 match on Saturday was relocated. The player, Rachel Richardson, said on Twitter, my fellow African

00:03:52.340 American teammates and I were targeted and racially, racially heckled throughout the entirety of the

00:03:56.940 match. The slurs and comments grew into threats, which caused us to feel unsafe. Both the officials

00:04:01.740 and BYU coaching staff were made aware of the incident during the game, but failed to take the

00:04:05.600 necessary steps to stop the unacceptable behavior and create a safe environment. So right away, I'm

00:04:11.920 thinking, OK, if I didn't know anything else about this, if I didn't know what I was about to explain to

00:04:16.620 you and how we know that this didn't actually happen, I wouldn't have assumed that this person made

00:04:21.740 it up. I mean, why would you make up something like this? Like, why would you tell this kind of

00:04:26.900 lie? I don't want to impugn her motives. I don't know why she made this comment. Honestly, my knee

00:04:32.040 jerk reaction would be to think, even based on the history of fake race crimes over the past couple of

00:04:39.220 years, starting with Jussie Smollett, I would still think, OK, well, I don't think that she made this

00:04:45.420 up. And that's pretty awful that someone would have the audacity to say something like that and that

00:04:50.680 the coaches wouldn't do anything about it. At the same time, though, at the same time, even though

00:04:55.740 I wouldn't want to disbelieve someone and just think that someone would make this up, it is really

00:05:00.920 difficult to believe. I mean, in this day and age, you're telling me that someone is going to have

00:05:08.100 the someone's going to have the audacity to say something like that in front of a black player and

00:05:15.720 also in front of black fans that were in the audience, you're telling me that someone in 2022

00:05:22.020 would do that? That that part is hard to believe. But still, still, I wonder, would someone make that

00:05:30.740 up? Well, we're going to we're we're going to dig into that in just a second. Well, BYU, they came out

00:05:37.280 with their statement. It's pretty long, so I'll just I'll just read some of it. All of God's children

00:05:43.620 deserve love and respect. And BYU Athletics is completely committed to leading out and abandoning

00:05:49.020 leading out in abandoning interesting attitudes and actions of prejudice and of any kind and rooting

00:05:57.320 out racism. When a student athlete or a fan comes to a BYU sporting event, we expect that they will be

00:06:01.720 treated with love and respect and feel safe on our campus. We're extremely disheartened. We have a

00:06:07.880 zero tolerance approach to this behavior. We wholeheartedly apologize to Duke University,

00:06:11.500 especially its student athletes competing last night for what they experienced. And so we want

00:06:18.520 this to be a safe environment for everyone. Duke University made their own statement on August 28th.

00:06:25.200 Duke volleyball experience targeted racism this past weekend during our match at the Smith Fieldhouse

00:06:30.320 on the campus of BYU. So zero skepticism, by the way, in either of these statements, just taking her

00:06:36.280 word for it and saying, oh, yeah, this absolutely happened. We stand against any form of racism,

00:06:41.000 bigotry or hatred. As a program, we have worked extensively to create an inclusive and safe

00:06:44.940 environment where our student athletes feel heard and supported, but are not naive to the fact that

00:06:48.360 there is always work to be done. All 18 members of our team, our four Black student athletes in

00:06:54.620 particular, have shown tremendous camaraderie and leadership and are to be commended for their

00:06:58.940 perseverance. We are grateful for the support of Duke Athletics and Duke University as we move forward.

00:07:04.500 So all of this is not just based on the student statement, but also her godmother. Her name is

00:07:12.800 Lisa Pamplin. She is an attorney in Fort Worth, and she tweeted that her goddaughter, Rachel Richardson,

00:07:21.160 was called this racial slur every time she served. So she is the one, one of the people who claimed that.

00:07:29.580 Now, what's interesting is that if you look at Lisa Pamplin's Twitter, she is running for a county

00:07:38.820 criminal court judgeship in Fort Worth, Texas. Now, she is like pretty obsessed based on her Twitter

00:07:46.060 history, this Lisa Pamplin person with white people and how bad white people are. Some of her tweets 0.80

00:07:53.220 say, I knew she was married to a white boy just by reading this tweet, being married to a white woman. 1.00

00:07:58.680 He thinks he can talk this stupid A nonsense. Clarence 2.0. Why people being white? Why does 1.00

00:08:09.200 CNN consistently interview these dumb white women? Bernie Sanders rallies are so white. If you're 1.00

00:08:13.980 white, you totally wouldn't understand. Would expect nothing less from a pale white chick. Sit down, 1.00

00:08:19.360 Becky. You poor white MFers can't take it. White women and men always disappoint. So this is this girl 1.00

00:08:26.700 who made this statement. This is her godmother who was at the game who claims that she heard someone

00:08:34.020 saying the N-word to her goddaughter. She also has a tweet saying, I went to vote and these white people,

00:08:43.540 this is spelled W-H-Y-P-I-P-O-E, I think that's supposed to be white people, asking me all these 0.71

00:08:50.520 questions about my jacket. No, I'm not in the military or a militia. I feel like I'm at war with

00:08:57.260 them though. So this is a person that does not like white people and she is the godmother of this 0.92

00:09:05.040 student who alleges that she was called the N-word at this game at a BYU volleyball game and they insist

00:09:13.340 that it happened. BYU apologizes. Duke makes this statement. However, a video of the entire game

00:09:22.460 was posted on YouTube and shows, you can go, we'll link it in the description of this episode,

00:09:29.300 it shows that there was no one that anyone could hear unless it was like some sort of whisper and

00:09:34.980 there was just zero reaction from the student athlete or anyone in the crowd. There is not

00:09:42.220 any indication whatsoever that someone was yelling racial slurs. The video does not show

00:09:51.340 some of the things that this athlete alleges happened. Like she said that there was like a

00:09:57.040 police officer like near the bench and that he didn't do anything about it. Well, the video shows

00:10:05.940 that that's not true. So based on all available evidence, this did not actually happen. This didn't

00:10:14.560 actually happen. And based on these allegations, BYU ended up like taking a student out of the student

00:10:22.420 section and banning him. And then after they reviewed all of this footage, they realized that the guy that

00:10:27.940 they removed from the game wasn't even there during the time that this girl says that she was called

00:10:38.780 these names. She says that she was called these names while she was serving. This guy wasn't even

00:10:43.380 there while she was serving. So this is according to the Washington Examiner, media go all in on

00:10:51.920 apparent volleyball racism hoax at BYU. BYU police reviewed footage of the fan who was banned and determined

00:10:58.640 that he did not yell any slurs when Richardson was serving. The fan wasn't even present when Richardson

00:11:03.680 was serving the first time and he was on his phone during Richardson's second serve. There were the those

00:11:09.300 were the only two times she served in front of the BYU student section. A BYU student newspaper reached

00:11:13.600 out to several people in the student section, none of whom said that they heard none of whom had heard

00:11:18.320 any slurs. Not a single person has come forward to report to BYU police that they heard the alleged

00:11:23.980 slur. Black members of BYU's basketball team were also in the student section, yet they did not react

00:11:29.380 according to what we see on the footage and have not come forward to say that they heard anything. And

00:11:34.480 yet the story was picked up by professional race baiters, Jamel Hill in the Atlantic, Mike Freeman, USA Today,

00:11:42.180 ESPN got into it. As I mentioned earlier, it was also picked up completely uncritically by

00:11:47.960 by NPR, by ABC, by NBC, the New York Times, and the Washington Post. And so not only is there no

00:11:57.060 evidence that this actually happened, there is actually abundant evidence that it did not happen.

00:12:04.760 The demand for hate, the demand for racism in this country far outpaces the supply.

00:12:11.760 If this were truly a country that is systemically oppressing, black and brown people, people would 1.00

00:12:21.600 not have to make up their oppression. It would be so abundant. It would be so ubiquitous that we

00:12:28.520 wouldn't have these race hoax hoaxes. I mean, several times over the last couple of years, Andy Ngo

00:12:34.620 is an account. He's a journalist that chronicles a lot of this. At different campuses across the

00:12:40.620 country, there have been swastikas painted. There have been anti-black statements made. There have

00:12:47.620 been different symbols placed around campuses that are supposed to be intimidating black and brown

00:12:54.840 students. And it's turned out that none of those have actually been true. They were not planted or

00:12:59.380 placed there by white students. They were planted and placed there by black and brown students trying to 0.98

00:13:04.140 say that this is a place of racial discrimination. I don't know what it's for. Probably activists to

00:13:09.320 try to pressure the campus to do the things that they, you know, want them to do in response to this

00:13:14.880 allegedly, you know, racist act. But look, if this country were as oppressive and as terrible for non-white

00:13:23.660 people as the race baiters and the activists and even some professing Christians say that it is, you 0.61

00:13:29.040 wouldn't have people making up instances of racism because it would not be necessary. But oppression

00:13:37.020 and victimhood have become currencies. Now, you get some sort of cultural and social capital if you can

00:13:43.460 say that you are oppressed, that you are a victim, that you have been marginalized. The fact of the matter

00:13:48.860 is, there is no better country in the world, there is no country in the world that allows for racial and 1.00

00:13:58.100 ethnic minorities to be as prosperous as they are. No other country besides America. There is no other

00:14:06.720 country where the ethnic and religious and the racial minorities can accomplish the things that they have

00:14:15.280 been able to accomplish in the United States of America. It just does not exist. And this is the

00:14:22.100 problem with social justice. This is also the problem with this idea that empathy has to take

00:14:30.860 over all of our mental faculties. This is the problem with saying, oh, we always have to lead with

00:14:35.960 empathy. We always have to think with empathy. We have to look at every circumstance first with

00:14:42.160 empathy. Well, look, empathy can blind you to the truth. In this situation, if empathy were your only

00:14:48.480 guiding light, you would just uncritically believe this person because we have to believe all victims

00:14:53.940 because that's what we've been trained to do. The right and the empathetic thing to do is to just

00:14:59.380 believe someone when they claim something. Look, you can be compassionate without forsaking the

00:15:06.400 rational capacity that the Lord has given you in your brain. Just because you want to be

00:15:11.840 compassionate, you want to be loving, you want to be accepting of someone doesn't mean that you

00:15:16.180 should stop critically thinking. It doesn't mean that the truth does not matter. Empathy without

00:15:21.920 love is a lie and lying is not love. So I hate that we are in a situation where we have to approach

00:15:29.980 these kinds of situations with skepticism. I don't want to have to be skeptical to people's claims.

00:15:35.160 Like I want to just be able to believe someone if they say, hey, this person acted in a bigoted way

00:15:40.540 towards me. Like I just want to be able to link arms with them and say, I'm so sorry that that

00:15:44.680 happened. What can I do to help? How can I combat against this? That's that's what I want my reaction

00:15:50.340 to be. But unfortunately, when this happens over and over again, your initial reaction starts to just

00:15:56.740 be, well, that probably didn't happen. And that sucks. That sucks for the people who have legitimate 0.99

00:16:02.100 claims of bigotry or discrimination. Their story is true. They actually are victims because there are 0.93

00:16:10.400 victims of all kinds of hate in this country. I want us to just be able to believe them because,

00:16:15.960 well, who would make that up? But unfortunately, some people would. And in this case, at least with

00:16:21.060 the information that we have right now, this looks entirely made up. It is disservice to actual victims

00:16:27.340 of any kind of hate. It's a disservice to yourselves. And it just makes people not take any claim

00:16:34.640 like this seriously. And that's a bummer, because as I said, sometimes they're real. But this is the

00:16:40.820 problem with the culture that we have created of condoning partial justice, which is social justice,

00:16:48.300 bias justice, basing our verdicts based on just the color of someone's skin rather than what is

00:16:53.980 actually true. Thankfully, as Christians, as we used to say so much when we did like a whole year

00:16:59.180 of episodes on like so-called social and racial justice, God's justice, according to scripture,

00:17:05.660 specifically according to God's law giving in Israel is direct. It is truthful. It is proportional 0.93

00:17:11.320 and it is impartial. He doesn't defer to the poor. He doesn't defer to the great. He does not look at

00:17:18.740 a person's skin color or a person's station in life to determine what is true and what is right and who

00:17:23.700 is guilty and who is innocent. We look at the facts of the case, truthful, impartial, direct,

00:17:30.540 and proportional. That is God's definition of justice. It has to be ours too, which means we

00:17:35.620 cannot abandon truth when we are hearing about these kinds of situations.

00:17:39.740 All right. Speaking of perpetual and faux victims, Megan Markle has a new podcast that she is promoting

00:18:00.480 in a stunning interview with an outlet called The Cut. So in this article, of course, which is very

00:18:09.640 gushy about her and who she is and what she has accomplished, she makes this incredible statement

00:18:15.860 that has now been picked up by the media that a lot of people are making fun of. The article says

00:18:20.940 she recalls a moment from the 2019 London premiere of the live action version of The Lion King.

00:18:26.040 I just had Archie. It was such a cruel chapter. I was scared to go out. A cast member from South

00:18:30.640 Africa pulled her aside. He looked at me and he's just like light. He said, I just need you to know

00:18:35.580 when you married into this family, we rejoiced in the streets the same as we did when Mandela was

00:18:41.600 freed from prison. Of course, she knows she's no Mandela, but perhaps even telling me the story is

00:18:46.580 a mode of defense, the journalist says, because if you are a symbol for all that is good and charitable,

00:18:51.620 how can anybody find you objectionable? How can anybody hate you? Now, apparently, according to

00:18:59.640 the Daily Wire, Nelson Mandela's grandson slammed Meghan Markle for even drawing this comparison at

00:19:07.300 all. Now, maybe Meghan Markle would say, well, hey, I didn't say it. Someone else said it, but you're

00:19:11.900 bringing it up in an interview. You know that it's on the record. What you want is for this reporter to

00:19:17.740 make public that you marrying into a royal family is in any way comparable or should elicit the same

00:19:25.600 reaction at all to Nelson Mandela being released from prison. And this is kind of what she does.

00:19:33.600 I know that there are probably some Meghan Markle defenders out there. I'm not trying to say that she 0.96

00:19:37.920 is, you know, an irredeemable person, that she hasn't had a hard time, that it hasn't been, you know,

00:19:43.820 somewhat of a difficult adjustment. But it just seems like you should be able to kind of reckon with

00:19:50.400 yourself at some point and say, you know what, I have not had a difficult life. I've had a very

00:19:55.820 charmed life. I made it in Hollywood there for a little bit. I literally married a prince. And now

00:20:02.860 I have the privilege of being a part of the royal family. With that privilege comes some responsibilities

00:20:08.640 and some expectations of respect of the history and the legacy and the customs, the traditions

00:20:14.440 of this family and of the UK. I understand I'm an outsider. I'm an American. And I just I need to

00:20:23.880 respect that. And I need to help my husband and help this family uphold this institution. That

00:20:31.520 doesn't mean she's not allowed to have her independence or her disagreements or whatever

00:20:36.440 it is. But look, doesn't it kind of come with the territory of being a duchess that you have to

00:20:43.200 abide by certain behaviors and live up to certain standards? That's what it seems like she's

00:20:49.760 resisting and what she constantly acts like she is a victim to. Not that she is just a victim of,

00:20:56.280 you know, what she would say, you know, probably racial oppression, which I'm not saying that

00:21:00.420 at no time in her life has she experienced any discrimination. But it seems like she thinks that

00:21:06.040 she is a victim of the expectations of being a part of the royal family. And like, didn't you

00:21:15.720 understand that that what that's what was going to happen when you married into this family when you

00:21:21.100 married Harry? Now, I think that a lot of Brits have even harsher words to say about her. What I don't

00:21:27.280 like about her is that she is constantly getting people to feel bad for her while simultaneously 0.96

00:21:34.320 casting herself as this kind of like martyr like hero. And I'm just not sure there are very many

00:21:42.080 people in the world who really regard her as that. Maybe there are a few. I don't think that there are

00:21:48.100 very many. Apparently on the podcast called Archetypes that she is promoting in this interview with

00:21:53.280 the cut. She has a conversation with Mariah Carey and Mariah Carey called her a diva.

00:21:59.420 Now, if the diva of all divas who is Mariah Carey, if she is calling you a diva, then perhaps

00:22:06.200 that is something that you need to take to heart. And maybe that comes with the territory, too.

00:22:10.960 Maybe if you were a duchess, like you get to be a little bit of a diva, but you can't be a diva 0.72

00:22:15.560 and a victim at the same time. That just that doesn't that doesn't really work. Also, I've talked about

00:22:21.500 before they live, I think, in Malibu. They live in California in this huge McMansion. Meanwhile,

00:22:27.800 they're preaching to other people about the importance of preserving the environment of

00:22:34.300 lessening your carbon footprint. Look, the guy who lives in, you know, rural Oklahoma, who is driving

00:22:42.500 45 minutes every day in his diesel truck and is using 16 plastic straws every hour, has a smaller

00:22:53.260 carbon footprint than these pseudo environmentalists Harry and Meghan do because of their private travel

00:23:03.060 and jets because of the mansion that they live in and all of the energy that requires to like air

00:23:08.940 condition, a home like that. So that's what bothers me about her. I don't know about all the other

00:23:14.600 stuff. I don't really get into the royal drama. But she just seems like a hypocrite who wants to be 1.00

00:23:20.700 seen both as the strong and empowering hero and also wants people to feel very, very bad for her. 0.99

00:23:27.780 And I just don't have I don't have either feeling towards her.

00:23:38.940 All right. So just keeping in the theme of this episode, speaking of hoaxes, things that are just

00:23:47.800 not true and things that are fake, the American Academy of Pediatrics is out here saying, still

00:23:53.560 saying in the year of our Lord, 2022, that kids need to be wearing masks in schools. I mean, how many

00:24:02.700 times over the past year, especially the end of 2020 and 2021 did we go over charts and data set after

00:24:11.920 data set and peer reviewed study after peer reviewed study showing that there is no evidence that exists

00:24:21.020 on this planet that mask mandates for kids in any way lowers mortality or even has any kind of effect

00:24:29.780 on the case rate. I mean, the CDC study that came out that said, oh, look, there actually is a big

00:24:36.200 difference. It was completely demolished, completely debunked by David Zwick, as we talked about at the

00:24:41.900 time, the American Academy of Pediatrics. I really thought that they would have dropped this by now.

00:24:48.060 Last year, there was this whole kerfuffle, this whole kind of mini scandal, at least among conservatives,

00:24:53.800 when the American Academy of Pediatrics came out and said, oh, there's there's no indication or data

00:24:59.680 or evidence whatsoever that caretakers wearing masks around toddlers or babies is going to impede

00:25:05.340 their development or speech whatsoever. As they said that they quietly went to their website and

00:25:10.280 they deleted a portion of their website that showed that showed the the data in a study

00:25:17.480 demonstrating that young babies and toddlers watch their caretakers mouths, not just for smiles and

00:25:24.580 to understand emotional reactions and to feel safe, but also watch the formation of words in order to

00:25:32.420 understand how to pronounce those words themselves. And a lot of people called them out. I thought maybe

00:25:38.320 they have a little shame. Maybe they're a little embarrassed. Maybe they won't outwardly, you know,

00:25:43.680 publicly backtrack, but inwardly, internally, they will be embarrassed and they'll take this back.

00:25:49.520 They have not taken it back. They are now doubling down. They tweeted just a few days ago that there is no

00:25:56.120 indication that wearing masks around kids is going to impede a child's development at all.

00:26:01.280 They say during a child's first few years, they rapidly develop communication skills. Parents and other

00:26:05.400 caregivers help by reading, talking, singing and playing. The more words a child hears, the better. If

00:26:12.140 caregivers are wearing masks, does that harm kids language development? No, there is no evidence of this.

00:26:18.560 And just FYI, there is no evidence of this is not the same thing as there is evidence proving our

00:26:27.880 statement. They're just saying there is no specific explicit study that is showing that people wearing

00:26:37.480 masks, adult wearing masks is the cause of kids not being able to speak and to understand. Well, yeah,

00:26:46.160 because it's only been a couple of years. Can we not employ just a little bit of common sense here?

00:26:52.360 Like, can we not just understand just a little bit about all of human history's understanding of

00:26:59.960 child and baby development? Like we as adults, like when we used to have to wear masks on airplanes,

00:27:05.900 I'd be traveling with my husband and he would say something to me and I would have no idea what he's

00:27:10.560 saying. Because even though I can hear and I would like to think I'm pretty good at exchanges of words

00:27:18.440 and conversations because I couldn't see his mouth and because it was loud in the airplane, I had no

00:27:23.680 idea what he was saying. So if that's true for adults who have hopefully mastered this whole, you know,

00:27:29.020 language thing, think about how much more difficult it is for kids who are especially kids with special

00:27:35.760 needs, especially kids with auditory processing problems, especially kids who already have

00:27:41.260 different kinds of speech impediments. They need to see how the mouth moves in order to know how to

00:27:47.400 pronounce the words. It also brings a sense of security. It is really hard to tell someone's

00:27:53.440 emotions, their reactions when you can't see half of their face. The emotions don't just come from the

00:27:59.400 eyes. Kids want to know that you're smiling. Kids want to know if you're angry. Kids want to know if

00:28:03.920 you're sad. Half of your face conveys that. So it can actually create a lot of anxiety. And man,

00:28:11.040 like in order to say this, you have to have not talked to any rational parents at all over the past

00:28:16.560 two years. There's this family doctor on Twitter. She has, let's see, 45,000 followers. Of course,

00:28:23.940 she's got her pronouns in her profile. So that pretty much tells you all that you need to know. But she 1.00

00:28:29.780 retweeted and this got about 3,000 likes. If you want to ensure safe in-person learning without

00:28:34.900 disruption, mandate masks in schools. So that's the kind of extortion that we're seeing from these

00:28:44.800 kinds of people, these activists. And of course, that we're going to see from the teachers unions.

00:28:48.080 Okay, if you want an education, if you don't want your kid to slip into loneliness and isolation

00:28:55.720 and purposelessness and do suicide, then you better let us mandate masks. If you want your kids to come

00:29:03.300 to school and not sit in front of a computer at home for eight hours a day, you better let us mandate

00:29:07.720 masks, even though there's no evidence. There's no evidence whatsoever that they work. There's far more

00:29:13.280 ample evidence that they hurt, not just for the reasons that I just listed, if we're talking about

00:29:19.380 cognitive and language development, but also when you're covering up half your face because of those

00:29:28.160 things, it damages your ability to relate to one another. It damages how you see other people,

00:29:34.020 either as primarily as vectors of a virus or as human beings. There is no evidence, no good data that this

00:29:41.080 helps more than it hurts. And there was this article. This is from last year, ABC News out of Palm Beach

00:29:50.440 saying that therapists there have seen a 364% patient increase in babies and toddlers over the past two

00:29:59.980 years. You're telling me that that's just random, that there's no correlation whatsoever to the fact

00:30:07.400 that the adults around them are covering their mouths? You're telling me that that's just a coincidence?

00:30:16.320 I'm not sure about that. And I've talked to a lot of you who are speech therapists, especially in

00:30:22.060 liberal areas, and you are forced for your job to be wearing masks. And I've talked to a lot of parents,

00:30:28.440 those of you out there who are parents of kids with special needs, whether it's autism, whether it's

00:30:33.080 down syndrome, or whether they just have some kind of speech impediment, and who have been trying to

00:30:38.420 go to therapy and how difficult, how discouraging, how disheartening it has been for you because your

00:30:44.280 child has struggled so much. I know kids that have gone backwards when it goes to when it comes to

00:30:49.140 reading comprehension. Maybe they were doing well before COVID and before these restrictions went into

00:30:55.440 place when it comes to speech therapy, when it comes to their development and reading and learning

00:30:59.880 and speaking. And now they've backtracked because of these restrictions. So the AAP is, as far as I am

00:31:07.000 concerned, has lost all credibility. They've lost all credibility, not just for this, but also because

00:31:11.580 they are for the gender mutilation, the genital mutilation in the name of gender affirmation 0.97

00:31:18.040 for children. And so, and this is like a very dire crisis that we're in that we cannot trust our

00:31:25.320 medical institutions that I would love to be able to trust the CDC. I'd love to be able to trust the

00:31:31.160 AAP. I would love that. I'd love to have a go-to source to be able to ask all of my mom health

00:31:37.300 questions too, and to be assured that there are people of goodwill who care about the science and

00:31:44.120 who care about the truth and not at all about politics giving me my answers. But we don't have that.

00:31:50.000 That's a problem. I mean, really, I guess the theme of this episode in general is the crisis of

00:31:55.760 credibility in our institutions, whether it's our media or whether it's the CDC or the AAP or whether

00:32:02.680 it's the government. We just can't trust the people that we are told are supposed to be our purveyors,

00:32:10.340 our givers of accurate and solid information. And yet anyone who asks these questions over the past

00:32:15.960 two years have been censored. They've been deplatformed. They've been called conspiracy

00:32:19.820 theorists and kooks. It's wild. And there's an actual consequence to that. There's a consequence

00:32:25.960 to these experts being so unwilling to admit that they're wrong. I also, on NBC News, this is a 2012

00:32:35.060 article that I dug up a couple weeks ago. 2012. A 2012 study in the Proceedings of the National Academy

00:32:41.500 of Sciences shows that babies are using lip reading to acquire language. So this is 2012. You think the AAP

00:32:48.640 10 years later doesn't know about this study? The results showed that at four months of age, babies

00:32:53.740 focused almost solely on a speaker's eyes. But by between six to eight months, the infant entered the

00:33:00.180 babbling state of language and they directed their attention to the speaker's mouth. And they continue

00:33:04.540 to lip read even through 10 to 12 months old. And of course, as I already mentioned, we do that

00:33:11.400 throughout our lives. So we know that. That was reported on 10 years ago. And that just confirmed

00:33:16.560 what most people already understood about how we communicate to each other and especially

00:33:20.760 to young kids. In the AAP, because they're a political arm of the progressive medical bureaucratic

00:33:29.080 state, they are just repeating these talking points that, again, will have real consequences on

00:33:34.680 people. Speaking of consequences, there was an article that I just saw, but it came out a few months ago.

00:33:40.860 In Nature magazine, titanium dioxide particles frequently present in face masks intended for

00:33:49.680 general use, and it should require regulatory control, the authors of this article say.

00:33:56.340 The study tested several batches of face masks intended to be put on sale as PPE. 70% of the masks

00:34:04.380 contained titanium dioxide in high quantities. In animal experiments, toxic effects were reported

00:34:11.600 when the particles were inhaled and ingested orally. In 2017, the Risk Assessment Committee of the European

00:34:18.440 Chemical Agency classified titanium dioxide as a suspected human carcinogen. Further toxicity and

00:34:26.440 epidemiological research is needed to assess the risk of vulnerable populations, especially children.

00:34:33.280 And yet, we've got the CDC and the AAP saying, oh, no, you should definitely just put these little

00:34:39.920 face masks made in China, by the way. You should just put these little face masks on your sons and 1.00

00:34:47.200 daughters. When they're five years old, they'll be totally fine. I mean, we have not even started to see

00:34:52.920 the repercussions of COVID policy that were not based in science, that were not based in rationality,

00:35:00.660 they were not based in compassion, they were based in a need for identity, and a need for meaning, a need for

00:35:07.040 purpose, a need for virtue signaling. And so people could not let go of their masks, they could not let go of

00:35:15.660 their 15 vaccines, they could not let go of Dr. Fauci, they could not let go of their virtual learning and their

00:35:22.140 lockdowns. They could not let go of their lockdowns because it became for them an identity. It became for

00:35:27.240 them a very easy and outward way to say, see, I'm a loving person, I'm a good person, without ever having to get

00:35:35.160 off their couch. Sad. It's sad. And we will continue to see the consequences of our stupidity. And in some

00:35:45.980 cases, when it comes to the government are corruption for a very long time. And if you're just now waking

00:35:52.780 up to this, welcome. It's time to continue to speak up because unfortunately, there are kids across the

00:35:59.260 country that are facing these mask mandates. So you need to get organized, you need to get active, you

00:36:04.700 need to get involved, and you need to push back against this for the sake of your kids. What do we

00:36:08.800 always say? That children are the unconsenting subjects of progressive social experiments.

00:36:15.720 Whether it's unscientific mask mandates and COVID restrictions, whether it's abortion, whether

00:36:22.620 it's genital mutilation in the name of so-called gender affirmation, whether it's, as we've talked

00:36:29.880 about, the destructive comprehensive sex education that is in schools, kids are always the unconsenting

00:36:37.580 subjects of progressive social experiments. And there is only one group that can hold them back

00:36:44.140 from that. And that is parents. And so that's our role. It matters for masks. It matters for all the

00:36:50.580 other cultural issues that we're talking about. So make sure that you are staying on top of this

00:36:56.760 in your area. All right. There is only one more thing I want to talk about. There's a reaction that I

00:37:04.280 want to do to this crazy, crazy video out there that just really makes me sad. It doesn't really

00:37:12.040 have to do with anything that we have talked about so far. It's not really on theme, except I could kind

00:37:17.240 of make it on theme. This is like what I'm about to play you after this ad is a fake version of love

00:37:27.080 and acceptance. All right. So this, um, this is a clip that was played on, um, the mean girl pod,

00:37:47.220 which is a podcast of barstool sports. And they're talking, I saw it, I saw it going around on social

00:37:55.660 media and they're talking about, um, strip clubs and it just really made me sad. So I'll give my

00:38:00.240 reaction to this after we play this. Opinions on your boyfriend going to a strip club. And let's

00:38:05.360 change that to boyfriend, partner, spouse, husband, anything. I say, let them go. Why not? And trust

00:38:13.580 them like bachelor parties. We're going to strip clubs. Um, I think there is no issue and be a good

00:38:21.720 boy, whatever that definition is that fits you. Yeah. I don't have an issue with that at all. I

00:38:25.960 personally love strip clubs. Um, I truly think if you have a problem, it might be because you don't

00:38:31.660 trust your partner. Also, I view strip club as like a place of entertainment where they're the

00:38:38.480 people who are stripping are doing their job. Like they're not just going to be on your boyfriend

00:38:41.640 making out with him. I mean, I don't know if that's a problem then, but you don't even mean like

00:38:45.700 when I think of strip clubs, I'm like, yeah, get the lap dance. Like that's part of the

00:38:49.220 entertainment of the show. That is so sad that these girls have such a warped view of what love 1.00

00:38:57.880 is, what a relationship should be, what loyalty looks like, what fidelity and faithfulness and

00:39:04.760 actual purity looks like. Like I'm sure that those things are not crossing their minds at all,

00:39:09.240 but they have been so inundated by the lies and the propaganda of this culture that they actually

00:39:16.820 believe that it can be healthy, that it can be good, that it can be okay for their boyfriend,

00:39:23.820 spouse, whatever, whatever other words she used, partner to go to a strip club and get a lap dance 0.99

00:39:32.300 by a stripper. And it's not just that I think that they have a completely unhealthy view of what a

00:39:38.440 relationship should look like. It's also, of course, that strip clubs are immoral and people say, 1.00

00:39:43.960 oh no, they're not immoral. Those women are going out and they're choosing to be a stripper. 1.00

00:39:49.940 They are, they're deciding to, you know, slide down that pole and dance for money. That's what

00:39:55.880 they want to do. They're consenting to it. So who are you to judge? Of course, I'm going to say

00:40:01.360 if something is immoral or moral, self-objectification is still objectification. I don't care if those

00:40:08.400 women have known since they were six years old that they wanted to, you know, give gross men lap dances 1.00

00:40:14.820 for money. I don't care. I don't care if they are consenting to it. It's still wrong. It's still 0.94

00:40:22.940 disgusting. And the culture that we have of objectification or self-objectification

00:40:28.520 leads to all kinds of warped and destructive views of the human body, views of sex, views of women, 1.00

00:40:39.940 views of men, views of dynamics, of power. This culture that we've created where consent is the

00:40:48.080 only standard that we have of morality and decency and virtue is wrong. It's wrong. Consent,

00:40:55.200 of course, is an aspect of whether an act or an interaction is morally okay, but it is not the

00:41:04.440 only standard. It's not the only standard of decency. That is like the absolute bare minimum.

00:41:13.000 The question should be, is this good for the soul? Is this good for the heart? Is this good for

00:41:18.980 relationships? Is this good for society? Is this good for productivity? Is this good for the family?

00:41:24.300 Not just does this feel good in this moment? I mean, this is one of the most perverse examples of

00:41:31.900 instant gratification that exists that is an absolute cancer in our society. Not to mention,

00:41:41.540 of course, that, I mean, all of it is disgustingly sinful. That, of course, Christians are not just to 1.00

00:41:49.920 not cheat on their spouse, but not even to look at a woman lustfully. That's what Jesus tells us,

00:41:57.060 that it's not enough not to commit adultery, but you're already committing adultery if you look at

00:42:02.900 a woman lustfully. So, I mean, just disgusting and just depraved and just sad. Like, I'm just sad. 1.00

00:42:11.720 Girls, I want you to know that there are men that exist who will only have eyes for you, 0.90

00:42:18.700 who will do everything that they can for you and your family and to be faithful to you, who will

00:42:24.840 want no other and will pursue no other sexual interaction except for the sexual relationship

00:42:30.900 that they have with you within marriage. That's how it's supposed to be. That exists. And that is like

00:42:37.080 the best form of relationship that you could possibly find. Do not aspire for anything less

00:42:43.960 than that. Do not settle. Do not believe the lie. Well, all guys look at porn. All guys go to strip

00:42:50.020 clubs. All guys look girls up and down. Of course, all guys are going to think about and talk about

00:42:55.260 other girls. No, that might be a temptation that's always there, but that is not. That might be normal.

00:43:01.560 That might be common. It's not godly. It's not right. You don't have to settle for it.

00:43:07.640 So anyway, girls at Barstool, not really surprised. Barstool is like that. But I'm sad for them that

00:43:16.900 they think people who are not okay with their husbands going to strip clubs are the ones who are 0.95

00:43:23.360 unhealthy. Look, I mean, I wouldn't trade matrimony, holy matrimony, a monogamous marriage for whatever

00:43:33.300 they got going on with their boyfriends any day of the week. All right.

00:43:38.200 Okay. I hope everyone has a wonderful Labor Day weekend. We will have a short episode on Monday.

00:43:54.440 It'll be a Q&A episode. Lots of good questions that I got from you guys. So I will be answering

00:43:58.880 that. And it is our it is my husband's and my anniversary over the weekend. Actually,

00:44:07.980 I think it's on Tuesday. I'm forgetting like which day it actually is. We will be married for

00:44:11.860 seven years. I can't believe it, man. It goes by so fast. And we have lived like so much life,

00:44:18.240 lived in different places. We got two kids. I mean, different jobs, all kinds of journeys. And

00:44:25.000 as I said a few minutes ago, don't settle. Like don't settle. Marriage is awesome. Exclusivity, 0.97

00:44:34.020 monogamy, faithfulness. Like it is awesome. It is worth waiting for. It is worth working for.

00:44:42.640 You don't have to settle for the just disgusting and objectifying definition of love and sexuality

00:44:51.580 that this world offers. As always, the God who created us and who created our bodies, who created

00:44:58.600 sex, who created male and female, and created marriage knows better. And just to like wrap up 0.89

00:45:05.740 this episode with a nice little bow, basically the theme was fake things. And we want to be

00:45:12.500 people who are of the truth. We want to be people who love and pursue that which is good and right

00:45:19.740 and true. And that's what I hope to help us do on this podcast, not just in the factual sense,

00:45:25.280 but also in the biblical sense as well. So thank you guys so much for coming along that journey with me.

00:45:31.020 We will be back here on Monday.
