Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 694 ｜ Hey, CDC： Stay Away from Our Kids

00:00:00.000 The COVID vaccine may soon be required for schoolchildren across the country,

00:00:04.880 and if that happens, we will see a blowback from parents like we have never seen. Also,

00:00:11.360 Joe Biden announced yesterday that his number one priority, if Democrats grow their majority in

00:00:16.820 November, is passing a law that bans states from protecting the lives of babies in the womb.

00:00:22.980 That's right. Our devoutly Catholic president is prioritizing the legal slaughter of unborn 1.00

00:00:28.740 children. We've got all of this and more. It's brought to you by our friends at Good Ranchers.

00:00:34.180 Go to GoodRanchers.com slash Allie. That's GoodRanchers.com slash Allie.

00:00:47.200 All right, guys. Happy Wednesday. Halfway through the week, we made it. We've almost made it anyway.

00:00:54.120 All right. Lots to talk about today. If you have not listened to yesterday's

00:00:57.720 fascinating conversation with Chris Work, I highly recommend doing so. We talk about the scam that

00:01:04.060 is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and really just breast cancer awareness in general and the cancer

00:01:11.400 industry. I mean, my mind was blown listening to this person who has researched so much who

00:01:17.300 beat cancer himself. And I've gotten really touching messages from you who went through cancer or you had

00:01:25.820 a parent or a loved one go through cancer. And you benefited a lot from yesterday's conversation.

00:01:30.920 So please highly recommend going to listen to it, share it with people that you think would also

00:01:38.600 benefit from it. Also, Monday's episode, I think I was thinking about this. I think it's a really good

00:01:43.740 episode to share with those who are on the fence about gender ideology or who think that it doesn't

00:01:50.040 affect them or who think that as a Christian, it's something that we should just kind of ignore

00:01:54.440 because, oh, well, we're supposed to just love people and just accept people. And it's not

00:01:59.020 something we need to think critically about. It's not something we need to criticize. I think Monday's

00:02:04.100 episode is a really good episode for those people. So if you haven't listened to that, go listen to it.

00:02:10.340 If you haven't shared it, share it with people that you think need to listen to it. Or even if you're

00:02:14.800 someone who is convinced like me, but you just need the words to be able to articulate why,

00:02:20.960 why we have the stance on biology and gender that we do. I think that's a good episode for you. And

00:02:26.800 in that episode, we also linked past episodes about it. So you can really get an all-encompassing

00:02:33.060 take on that subject. All right. Today, we're going to talk about, we're going to talk about first

00:02:39.860 that Biden story from yesterday, the speech that he gave in which he said that it is his top priority

00:02:48.340 if Democrats win in November to codify Roe v. Wade. Here is a short clip of his speech from yesterday.

00:02:58.640 Here's the promise I make to you and the American people.

00:03:02.320 The first bill that I will send to the Congress will be to codify Roe v. Wade.

00:03:08.120 So you heard him. You heard the applause. You know that Democrats are excited about this. Democrats have

00:03:14.000 become so extreme on the issue of abortion. And they're using this as a distraction from the

00:03:20.840 failure that has been Joe Biden's presidency and the Democratic majority in Congress. And what I mean

00:03:26.980 by failure, of course, is economic failure, foreign policy failure, and Americans are feeling the burden

00:03:34.000 of this failed leadership that we have in Washington. Of course, we felt it when the draconian

00:03:42.100 COVID mandates came down on us, whether it was state level Democrats, local Democrats or Democrats on

00:03:47.640 the national level, people lost their jobs. Military members, service members were discharged because of

00:03:54.780 their refusal to take a vaccine that they did not want to take and did not need to take. And so people

00:04:00.380 have have taken the brunt of Joe Biden's leadership in that sense. But also people are feeling it in their

00:04:06.920 pocketbook. They're having to cut back. I saw a Fox News poll the other day that was more than two

00:04:12.800 thirds of Americans have had to significantly cut back over the past few months thanks to inflation.

00:04:19.700 And Joe Biden is making inflation worse because he, along with his cronies in Congress, have signed off

00:04:27.420 on spending billions and billions of dollars and sending it not to the American people, not even to the

00:04:34.640 people who voted for him in a lot of cases, but to Ukraine, to the Ukrainian people. Why? What for?

00:04:40.840 For what purpose? Why does it matter more that we are protecting the sovereignty and the borders of

00:04:46.440 Ukraine than we are protecting the sovereignty and the security and the borders and the safety and

00:04:53.980 interest of the American people? It's really kind of a mystery. And so that's where we are with the

00:05:01.960 Biden administration and the Democrats and some Republicans in Congress who are going along with

00:05:06.340 it, making the economy worse. And right now, Joe Biden is doing absolutely nothing to help the high

00:05:12.900 gas prices. He tried to pull some strings to lower the gas prices temporarily. But unfortunately,

00:05:20.800 his energy policies and the energy policies of the Democrats, which we have detailed very many times by

00:05:26.400 having experts on the podcast to talk about this, are just making the prices go up in addition to his

00:05:32.300 disastrous foreign policy, as we have also detailed many times on past episodes. And so Joe Biden's

00:05:40.300 failed leadership is resulting in hardship for Americans. So they are using abortion as a distraction 0.93

00:05:47.900 because they understand that there is a lot of women who are very upset about the overturning of

00:05:53.820 Roe v. Wade because there is no and has never been a constitutional right to abortion. The Dobbs decision

00:06:01.600 allowed states to come up with their own legislation surrounding abortion in that states could now ban

00:06:09.640 abortion outright if they wanted to, whereas before they weren't able to limit abortion that restrictively

00:06:17.560 because Roe v. Wade said there is a constitutional right up to a certain point to abortion.

00:06:23.260 So states have been free to pass laws that protect the life of unborn children in many states in all

00:06:32.460 stages of that child's life. And that has made a lot of people very angry. A lot of women very angry as 0.69

00:06:40.300 they say, oh, no, my body, my choice, bodily autonomy, all of those very silly and vapid euphemisms that we

00:06:47.220 have debunked so many times. And then you've got a lot of women who have believed all of the propaganda 0.99

00:06:52.560 and the misinformation surrounding these laws that that says that women are not going to be able to 1.00

00:06:59.400 get miscarriage treatment or they're not going to be able to get the attention that they need for

00:07:04.380 ectopic pregnancies. We've also debunked that propaganda and we'll link the past episode where

00:07:09.560 we discussed that. And so there's a lot of anger out there from particularly female voters and Democrats 1.00

00:07:18.140 realize that. And because they cannot hang their hat on any other thing that they have done for

00:07:23.580 the past couple of years, they've just got to tell women, hey, we'll help you be legally allowed 1.00

00:07:30.040 to kill your babies. And that's how we will secure your vote. And unfortunately, it's probably going to

00:07:36.220 work for a good subset of people, especially those in the middle, squishy, suburban women who genuinely 1.00

00:07:43.240 believe that abortion needs to be legal in order to help women who have miscarriages or in order to

00:07:49.900 help women who have ectopic pregnancies, which is simply not the case. There is no pro-life law on the

00:07:57.060 books that restricts in any way the care of miscarriages or the care of ectopic pregnancies.

00:08:03.760 If that is something that is truly happening, then that is the problem, the mistake of those doctors,

00:08:10.820 those doctors who are either purposely or accidentally not understanding the law. That is not the fault of

00:08:16.520 the lawmakers who have put in place legislation that is protecting the right to life of image bearers

00:08:24.540 inside the womb. And so this could be an effective strategy for some people. But I think it's important

00:08:32.340 for us as thinking Christians to realize what this is. The codification of Roe v. Wade is not about,

00:08:40.140 of course, the protection of women's rights. We know that. But it's important to know that the

00:08:44.620 codification of Roe v. Wade, it's really kind of that phrase is a misrepresentation of what would

00:08:51.940 happen. The legislation that is on the table right now, the Democrats say that they are going to try

00:08:57.900 to pass if they are able to get a wider majority come November and that Joe Biden is saying that he is

00:09:05.880 going to sign goes much farther than Roe v. Wade ever did. And it will prohibit states from being able

00:09:13.860 to restrict abortion at all. It will declare that abortion is a right through nine months for virtually

00:09:21.560 any reason. And Joe Biden, the unifier in chief, we were told, the expert on empathy, the moderate

00:09:33.680 that we were told that evangelicals for Biden said was a true description of him, is now saying that he

00:09:46.700 supports that he supports the most extremist measure in legislation on abortion that we have seen.

00:09:54.120 He is for not only the legal slaughter of unborn children, but the subsidized taxpayer subsidized

00:10:01.840 slaughter of unborn children through all nine months of pregnancy. That is a radical position on abortion

00:10:08.300 that virtually every Democrat in the country, in office anyway, elected Democrat in the country,

00:10:15.620 says that they support. Now, maybe their conscience doesn't really support that. Maybe they believe

00:10:20.560 something differently, but it says something about the Democratic base and where the Democratic Party

00:10:25.860 has gone and where the left in this country has gone, that it is politically advantageous, politically

00:10:31.260 necessary for elected or running Democrats to say that they are against any restriction whatsoever on abortion.

00:10:45.620 You hear a lot about how conservatives or the right wing have gone so far right in America. We've changed

00:10:56.360 so much. Really, it's the left that's gotten more extreme. And as leftists get more extreme, as has always

00:11:03.460 been true in every society throughout history, when leftists get more extreme, they become less tolerant.

00:11:11.660 And of course, it seems like someone who has stated the same position over and over again for the past

00:11:18.420 25 years that, hey, abortion is not a constitutional right. We should protect the life of the unborn child

00:11:24.780 seems to an extreme leftist like a radical or like some kind of fascist. Of course, that's what happens

00:11:32.840 when you slide to the left. Everyone to the right of Elizabeth Warren looks like some scary Nazi to you.

00:11:41.180 And that's exactly what has happened. Democrats have become more extreme. So anyone that you see,

00:11:45.620 whether it's an Instagram influencer, a political commentator, anyone who claims that the right is

00:11:51.980 the threat to democracy, that we are that we have become so extreme, that we have changed so much that

00:11:58.320 we have slid further to the right. In some ways, it is true that I think in the past few years that

00:12:03.560 conservatism has become in some ways more conservative, in some ways more liberal.

00:12:08.760 But the fact of the matter is that the left has gone further left on virtually every single issue

00:12:16.860 that you can think of in the past 20 years, whether it's immigration, or whether it's guns,

00:12:23.240 or whether it's the definition of marriage, the definition of the family, heck, the sexualization

00:12:29.140 of children, sex education in schools, what books should be allowed, and read to schools, drag queen,

00:12:36.760 story hour, the economy. When you're looking at any issue on the left, they have marched to the left.

00:12:44.880 They have marched to the left most extreme. They are far more radical on abortion than, say,

00:12:52.340 the vast majority of Europe is. The vast majority of Europe has limits around 12 to 15 weeks. In the

00:13:00.300 latest cases, about 24 weeks. So Democrats in the United States are far more radical on abortion on

00:13:08.020 the left than conservatives are on abortion on the right. So don't be gaslit into thinking that it is

00:13:14.760 some oppressive position to say that you simply believe that it should not be allowed

00:13:20.480 to poison or to dismember or to cause a heart attack in a living, squirming child inside the womb. 0.92

00:13:31.620 That is the moral position. That is the righteous position. For the Christian especially, there should

00:13:37.200 be no caveats surrounding that. There's not any nuance in that when you are talking about the murder

00:13:43.240 of an innocent image bearer of God. That doesn't mean that you negate your love and compassion for the

00:13:49.900 woman who is carrying the child or the father of the child. That is why, by the way, Christians work 1.00

00:13:55.100 so hard every day to meet the needs of these families in crisis with surprise pregnancies.

00:14:00.580 These women who feel destitute, who don't know what to do. People say, I can't be for, you know, 0.99

00:14:05.700 banning abortion until Christians or until pro-lifers are willing to do the work. And I'm going to say what I 0.88

00:14:11.760 always say to people who say that. Stop complaining on Instagram. Get off your couch.

00:14:17.220 Go to your local pregnancy center. Show up and say, how can I help? Because I guarantee those ladies who 1.00

00:14:23.340 are pro-life Christians in that pregnancy center have been doing the work that you say needs to be

00:14:30.000 done longer than you have been alive, girl. Longer than you have been alive. So stop lazily complaining 0.91

00:14:37.380 about that work that needs to be done before you can vote for the protection of unborn life and get up

00:14:43.580 and do the work. Do it. There are already people doing the work and you can join them. Do not use

00:14:52.120 some kind of fake accusation towards Christians and pro-lifers to justify voting for the slaughter of

00:14:59.560 babies. You will be held to account for that. And the excuse that, well, I didn't know pregnancy

00:15:06.400 centers existed ain't going to cut it. All right. And so some people say, I know Democrats say,

00:15:12.960 or you'll hear maybe moderates say this, you don't have to be a one issue voter. It's not,

00:15:18.840 it's not right to say that you care so much about abortion that you're going to hang your entire vote

00:15:23.560 on that. Of course it is. Of course it is. Like what is a more important, what is a more important

00:15:29.860 issue than this? Is there any other issue that is this clear cut? Is there any other issue that

00:15:35.400 we're literally, literally, not figuratively, not hyperbolically, but literally talking about life and

00:15:41.960 death? I'm not sure that there is. I don't think that there is any other political issue that we

00:15:49.040 are voting on. I mean, that's part of the problem. Should we even be voting to be able to take away

00:15:54.780 the right of a human being, of an innocent human being to live? Of course, this can be your only

00:16:01.660 issue. Of course, this can be the hill that you're willing to die on. Of course, this, you can be a

00:16:07.740 single issue voter and allow abortion to be your single issue. We are literally talking about the

00:16:13.720 torture and dismemberment of babies. Okay? We're not talking about choice. We're not talking about

00:16:18.240 autonomy. We're not talking about reproductive rights. We're not talking about miscarriage care

00:16:22.760 or ectopic pregnancies. We're not talking about women's rights. We are talking about children.

00:16:28.220 We are talking about human beings that God knit together purposely in the womb, being snuffed out,

00:16:36.220 being killed brutally and violently on a daily basis legally. No, it is not okay to vote for a 0.97

00:16:44.240 politician, whether they have an R or a D by their name, who is going to allow that? And if that's your

00:16:51.560 issue, let that be your issue. Let it be your issue. I promise you, if anything is worth your vote,

00:16:58.800 it's that. If anything is worth your time, if anything is worth your energy, if anything is worth

00:17:03.760 losing your reputation over, losing friendships over, being divisive over, being offensive over,

00:17:13.260 it is that. Second to the gospel itself, I would say abortion is worth sacrificing and losing those 1.00

00:17:25.740 things for because of what is at stake, the blood of children. Christians have always been in the 1.00

00:17:32.440 business of running towards danger for the most vulnerable. The church has always been in the

00:17:39.680 business of being a refuge for the victimized. That doesn't change now. And while your salvation

00:17:47.260 does not hang on your vote, I want to make that clear. Don't think then that your vote doesn't

00:17:54.160 matter. It does matter. People's lives, human beings' lives, defenseless babies' lives, in some cases,

00:18:01.600 are depending on it.

00:18:09.680 Now, if you're in the state of Georgia, I want you to listen up to the candidate,

00:18:18.620 your gubernatorial candidate, Stacey Abrams, as she just says what used to be the quiet part 0.94

00:18:26.780 out loud on MSNBC as she's talking about abortion. Here it is.

00:18:31.640 While abortion is an issue, it nowhere reaches the level of interest of voters in terms of the cost of

00:18:38.640 gas, food, bread, milk, things like that. What can a governor, what could you do as governor to

00:18:45.560 alleviate the concerns of Georgia voters about those livability, daily, hourly issues that they're

00:18:51.900 confronted with?

00:18:53.220 But let's be clear. Having children is why you're worried about your price for gas. It's why you're

00:18:59.100 concerned about how much food costs.

00:19:00.600 Did you hear that? Did you hear what she just said? And did you understand what she meant?

00:19:06.540 That your children are a burden. See, it's not the rising gas prices. It's not that you can't afford

00:19:12.140 groceries because of inflation. It's not the immigration crisis. It's not the high crime that

00:19:20.460 is in all of the democratic cities. It's not the fact that America is on decline because of purposeful

00:19:26.780 decisions by a lot of the people in charge. It's not that. No, it's not that. It's that you have kids.

00:19:35.500 Human beings are the problem. Like you understand that underneath the democratic ideology, underneath

00:19:41.900 the left wing progressive ideology is something that has always been there. And it's really sick

00:19:47.680 and it's really perverse, but it's really there in all forms of secularism. And it's a view of human

00:19:54.160 beings, not as a credit to society or to the world, but as a debit. And we've talked about this

00:20:00.540 Malthusian fear of overpopulation. This idea that there are too many people weighing down the economy,

00:20:09.340 weighing down the earth, taking away our resources, and that we could have better things and a better

00:20:16.100 world and a boosted economy if there were fewer people. Look at the countries that are dealing with

00:20:22.040 a steeply declining birth rate. Things are getting worse there. They're actually in crisis because

00:20:31.160 they desperately need more people to buoy the economy, to be able to create the resources that

00:20:36.900 are necessary to survive and to thrive as a country, as a society. Human beings are credits.

00:20:45.180 They are not debits. They are not taking away from society. They are adding to it. They are the

00:20:52.300 researchers. They are the doctors. They are the inventors and the innovators and the teachers and

00:20:59.540 the helpers and the volunteers and the leaders and the friends and the people that are necessary to make

00:21:07.360 life worth living, both in a very pragmatic sense, if you're talking about just production,

00:21:13.640 but also in a much deeper sense, if you're talking about our need for connection and family and

00:21:20.640 community. And progressives fundamentally misunderstand human beings. They misunderstand

00:21:26.900 human nature. They really just think that we're all clumps of matter, that if the people on top want to

00:21:34.360 rearrange society or to change how people function, then they can do that. They can simply manipulate

00:21:47.260 people into believing that it's better off for them to kill their children and that they're better off

00:21:54.860 just staying home and not working. They can try to change the definition of what male is and what female

00:22:02.400 is and that human beings will just come along for the ride and that they will be able from the top down

00:22:09.260 to control the populace by changing how human beings function and what human beings want. But it's

00:22:18.740 impossible to do that because human beings do have an innate nature. We were created by God. We're not

00:22:25.800 just accidental, arbitrary clumps of matter. And human nature is like a beach ball, as we say often.

00:22:32.660 You can try to push it under the water through force. It will eventually keep popping back up.

00:22:39.400 And so the consequences that we are already seeing from democratic policies, another example of that is

00:22:44.700 their soft on crime policies, thinking that equity and social justice is going to lead to a more

00:22:49.880 peaceable society. It just leads to murder. That's what happens when you don't punish crime. They

00:22:54.580 don't understand human nature. And therefore, the cat will come out of the bag sometimes, as you saw

00:23:02.180 with Stacey Abrams, and they will say the quiet part out loud that they do not view human beings as made in

00:23:08.720 the image of God. They don't view human beings as people who are beneficial to society. They see human

00:23:15.560 beings as burdens. And Stacey Abrams is more willing to convince you and encourage you to abort your

00:23:24.000 child than to address all of the issues that are convincing you that you need to abort your child.

00:23:32.220 See, it's so funny because Democrats always say that Republicans are just pro-birth, that Republicans

00:23:37.540 aren't the ones that aren't doing enough, that they're not working hard enough on behalf

00:23:42.380 of women and children. And Democrats are the ones that are passing the policies that are helping

00:23:50.100 women. All of that is fundamentally untrue. And Stacey Abrams actually just revealed that so clearly, 0.94

00:23:56.620 is that she is just more interested in you aborting your child than trying to address any of the

00:24:02.780 problems that are creating an environment in which people feel like they shouldn't have children.

00:24:07.260 A healthy society would look at our declining birth rate and ask why and say, why is that? That's not

00:24:14.600 good. We've made a mistake. We need to turn around. We have created a bad culture. We have created

00:24:20.320 something toxic. If people no longer feel safe and secure having children or having as many children

00:24:26.420 as they wanted to have, that is a problem. That's a problem with the society that we have constructed,

00:24:32.600 and we need to change policy. We need to change our messaging. We need to look at our priorities and

00:24:38.040 look at our values. And we need to make sure that families are free to have as many children as they

00:24:45.100 want to have. And if there are families, a lot of families that don't want to have children, we really

00:24:50.660 need to examine why. But if your goal is depopulation, like it is apparently for Stacey Abrams, who by the way,

00:24:58.160 calls herself a Christian, then you're not going to examine that because actually you are okay with 0.67

00:25:03.860 people being poor and destitute and childless after they have abortion after abortion. I'm just not 0.98

00:25:10.900 okay with that. I do not understand, honestly, how a Christian, a true Christian in good conscience

00:25:16.280 could ever vote for something, for something, someone, if you will, like Stacey Abrams, who is not

00:25:23.240 only just wicked, she's also blasphemous. Her, like, little tour that she's doing at all of these churches

00:25:29.640 saying that she's going to be a representation of Christianity for Black people when she, when she takes

00:25:38.540 office, she is referred to herself as Deborah. It's just so embarrassing. It's so embarrassing. I would love

00:25:45.320 to have her on the show. I'm sure after this monologue, it's probably not going to happen. But I, I fear for

00:25:53.080 Georgia, honestly, if she takes charge. What a colossal, colossal mistake. And if you vote for 1.00

00:25:59.740 Stacey Abrams and she becomes governor, which I don't think she will, by the way, but if she does, 0.99

00:26:03.640 you will see the error of your way so fast. Like, how could you possibly, by the way, how could you

00:26:10.100 possibly look at Joe Biden's presidency or look at every single, every single city that is run by

00:26:17.860 Democrats and not say, hmm, maybe it's not a good idea for me to vote for a Democrat. Every single

00:26:25.540 city, every single city that is run by Democrats has become less safe, has become dirtier, has become

00:26:33.020 poorer, has been overrun with public drug use and homelessness and defecation. Crime is soaring.

00:26:41.960 Like, there is no city that is progressive that you can say, ooh, progressive policies have made

00:26:48.120 that place better. Ooh, that place is safer than it used to be. No, we say about all these places,

00:26:53.780 I used to be able to, I used to be able to walk outside in downtown Memphis. Now you can't. I mean,

00:27:01.240 it's probably been a while for that. But same thing with Denver, same thing with Austin, same thing with

00:27:06.380 L.A. or Philadelphia or New York or Portland or Seattle. I've had people tell me that they used

00:27:11.600 to love to go to Seattle or they used to live in Seattle and they lived downtown and it was awesome

00:27:16.680 and now you feel like you can't even walk outside at night and that's just something we have decided

00:27:20.500 to get used to. No, those are policy decisions. That's because Democrats have been in charge of

00:27:25.400 those cities for decades and their policies make things worse. They always make things worse because

00:27:30.160 social justice kills. It always does. It destroys. Progressivism cannot build. It only knows how

00:27:36.000 to destroy. It looks at a policy or it looks at a tradition. It looks at a longstanding institution

00:27:43.080 and says, oh, that has to go. And it never has any feasible or good or productive plan to rebuild

00:27:48.980 anything better. That's the problem with progressivism. It can tell you all the things

00:27:53.720 it believes are wrong, but it can't tell you, it can't give you any feasible solution to these

00:28:05.620 things ever. It only destroys. It cannot build anything good. And we have so much evidence of

00:28:11.520 that. I just can't understand why on earth anyone would vote Democrat ever again. I really, really

00:28:18.460 don't. For the sake of democracy? Democracy? You think Democrats are the defenders of democracy?

00:28:26.820 I mean, you understand that the FBI and the DOJ are going after peaceful pro-life protesters

00:28:33.160 who peacefully demonstrated in front of these pro-life centers? You understand that the DOJ

00:28:39.060 said that they are going to start investigating parents who are just going to school board meetings,

00:28:43.940 raising their concerns about pornography being read in schools? Like, you understand that this

00:28:50.320 administration, that this party doesn't care anything about democracy? You know that passing a federal

00:28:57.340 law to say that no state is allowed to protect the lives of unborn children, that that is authoritarian

00:29:06.860 and draconian, that that has nothing to do with democracy? You should always ask yourself when you

00:29:12.180 hear someone on the left say that they care about democracy, what do you mean? What do you mean by that?

00:29:17.720 Because even when they say something like, oh, protecting voting rights, what they mean is federalizing the

00:29:22.460 election process. So states don't have the autonomy to be able to run their elections with integrity the

00:29:28.400 way that they want to, the way that their voters want them to. So even in that, they're not actually

00:29:34.680 talking about democracy. I always say that when progressives, when Democrats say democracy, they

00:29:41.000 mean authoritarianism that they like. And when they say authoritarianism, what they mean is democracy that

00:29:45.860 they don't like. So they'll say that something like overturning Roe v. Wade and state legislation,

00:29:51.040 protecting the life of unborn children is authoritarian. But they wouldn't say that a

00:29:57.700 federal law forcing states to allow abortion through all nine months is authoritarian. That's somehow

00:30:02.100 democracy. Isn't that interesting? So I always, whenever I hear that buzzword these days, I always demand

00:30:08.820 the person define your terms. What exactly are you talking about? Because chances are, they're not really

00:30:14.860 talking about democracy. They're just talking about getting their way. And look, if that's the game that

00:30:19.840 we're playing, fine. One side's got to win. We want our way. You want your way. Fine. That's what it'll

00:30:27.100 be. I'm not sure that you will like the results. Because the chaos the Democrats are waging is going

00:30:33.480 to have an equal and opposite reaction at some point. Just saying. All right, now let's talk about the

00:30:39.820 COVID vaccine mandate for children. Okay, so people are understandably freaking out because it's now been

00:30:58.440 reported that the CDC is about to vote today, probably about the time that you're listening to

00:31:03.940 this to add the COVID vaccine to the child immunization schedule. And this would, in many

00:31:10.720 cases, make the COVID vaccine mandatory for kids entering school. Now, something that I do want to

00:31:17.020 say that I think a lot of people maybe aren't remembering when it comes to the story is that

00:31:22.400 states do decide their vaccine requirements for school attendance. And so you're already seeing the

00:31:29.580 surgeon general of Florida, Joseph Ladapo, who I really like, I think that he is so clear and so bold,

00:31:39.080 not just when it comes to the true science of the COVID vaccine and COVID in general, but also

00:31:46.940 hormone treatment for gender confused children and things like that. So he tweeted, regardless of what CDC

00:31:53.300 votes on whether COVID-19 facts are added to routine child immunizations, nothing changes in Florida,

00:31:59.220 thanks to Ron DeSantis, COVID mandates are not allowed in Florida, not pushed into schools, and I

00:32:03.760 continue to recommend against them for healthy kids. And so states do have some autonomy in this,

00:32:09.880 and you're probably going to see this pretty polarized. You're probably going to see the blue states

00:32:15.580 requiring this according to CDC guidance, if, as I'm recording this, I haven't voted yet, but if they

00:32:21.480 vote to add this to the immunization schedule, and then you'll probably see a lot of red states not,

00:32:27.040 although there will be red states that do. And this is still, though, concerning. It's still concerning

00:32:34.440 because there is absolutely no reason for the COVID vaccine to be added to the list of recommended

00:32:42.180 childhood vaccines. It shouldn't be required anywhere for a child to attend school. Remember,

00:32:51.240 a child has like a 99.99% survival rate when it comes to COVID. Most kids at this point have had

00:33:01.120 COVID. Many kids have had COVID. They didn't even know it because it was just a sniffle. It was just

00:33:05.920 a cold. I'm not saying that there are zero children that died from COVID. There are also not zero children

00:33:13.040 that died from the flu last year. Yes, of course, there are some children. They have underlying conditions.

00:33:19.100 They are more vulnerable. They are obese. And so they are more likely to get a bad case of COVID.

00:33:25.180 Of course, that is true of any disease. But when it comes to the statistics, when it comes to the

00:33:30.460 data, COVID is simply not a major risk to kids. All right. I say that as a hypochondriac myself.

00:33:37.160 I say that as someone who does not like to get sick. I don't like my family to get sick. I don't want

00:33:42.860 my kids to even get a cold. But I also have to understand the real risk, right? That's how

00:33:49.000 we have to manage our lives. That's how we have to be able to assess our decisions and have any kind

00:33:55.020 of discernment. And there is a risk to this vaccine when it comes to children. And we've talked about

00:34:04.240 that many times. Of course, YouTube hates when I talk about that. YouTube also hates when I talk

00:34:08.680 about abortion. But hey, these are the things that we have to discuss. And so children or parents of

00:34:16.200 children are understandably concerned about this vaccine that has not been on the market

00:34:22.200 for very long, that doesn't have a whole lot of research, that doesn't really have a huge success

00:34:28.140 rate when it comes to the effectiveness of stopping someone from getting COVID. And certainly

00:34:36.020 doesn't stop transmission. This is something that has been admitted recently, that apparently it was

00:34:41.160 never tested even in being able to stop transmission. And yet we were told by Dr. Fauci and by Democrats

00:34:48.440 and by all the liberals in the media that you have to get the vaccine to help your neighbor because

00:34:54.400 it is going to create a dead end in you for the virus that you're not going to be able to. One,

00:35:02.280 we heard that we weren't going to be able to get it, but you definitely weren't going to be able

00:35:05.500 to spread it. And now neither of those things are true. And so unless you're getting it because you

00:35:11.060 are high risk and you feel like it might mitigate your risk in some way from getting a severe version

00:35:16.860 of COVID, there's just not really a huge incentive for a lot of people and certainly not a huge incentive

00:35:23.260 for children to get it. And so for it to be added to the list of recommendations that is then going to

00:35:28.400 be adopted by states that is then going to be taken on by schools that will say you cannot get an

00:35:37.160 education unless you have this vaccine that you absolutely don't need and might in some ways be

00:35:42.380 harmful to you. That's really scary for a lot of people. I mean, this is going to have a major effect

00:35:49.240 on the last holdouts in those blue states who have said, you know what, I'm just going to hang on in

00:35:54.700 Washington. I'm going to hang on in California. And I don't want to move. I promise you they are

00:35:59.480 going to be fleeing those blue states for the red states simply because they do not want their child

00:36:04.840 to be forced to get this vaccine. And here's something else that I think it's going to lead to.

00:36:10.380 I think it's also going to lead to more anti-vaxxer parents like in general, because I think that you're

00:36:18.540 going to get a lot of parents who are filing an exemption if their state and school requires them get

00:36:23.660 this vaccine. They're going to file an exemption. They're going to say, I don't want to get the

00:36:27.340 COVID vaccine or I don't want my child to get it. And then they'll think, well, if I'm going to hold

00:36:32.600 off on this vaccine, why don't I hold off on the other ones too? Or they might be thinking, well,

00:36:39.180 if we don't trust how this vaccine was made, if we don't trust the Democrats who said something

00:36:45.120 about this vaccine that simply wasn't true, what about the other vaccines? And so what you're doing by

00:36:51.460 pushing this so hard, despite the mounds of data that we have about its potential harms and its

00:36:57.220 ineffectiveness is causing skepticism about vaccines in general, and really about the medical industry

00:37:04.060 in general. And there's going to be effects of that. Like there are going to be consequences of

00:37:09.200 that. Now, I think a lot of that skepticism is really good. I think people should be thinking

00:37:13.600 critically about the incentives and the motives of the pharmaceutical companies and the CDC and NIH and

00:37:20.280 all of that. I think it's good that people are researching and thinking about those things,

00:37:24.200 but completely divorcing oneself from any kind of medicine or recommendation. I mean,

00:37:33.820 there are some recommendations that the CDC makes that are valid and that are good. And you're going

00:37:38.480 to get people ignoring them in general because the CDC has shot its reputation so badly. And it will

00:37:45.100 only get worse if they are forcing these vaccines on children. So just expect that consequence,

00:37:53.020 that repercussion to be coming down the pipeline. Just some numbers on this to kind of put this all

00:37:58.740 into context and to just consider like how consequential this will be. Only 9%, according to the CDC,

00:38:07.040 of six-month-olds to four-year-olds have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

00:38:14.020 So, okay, you're looking at four-year-olds and three-year-olds who are going into preschool

00:38:19.740 who would then be possibly required to get the COVID vaccine. I mean, that is a lot of babies,

00:38:27.080 a lot of children that would be required to do that. And I just wonder about the 91% of parents

00:38:34.760 who have chosen not to vaccinate their young children, what are they going to do? I wonder

00:38:39.340 how many of those will be willing to be coerced in that way. Children ages 5 to 11, 38% of 5 to 11-year-olds

00:38:48.500 have received one dose, 31% of 5 to 11-year-olds. Now, this number surprised me. Children ages 12 to 17

00:38:56.960 years, 67% actually of 12 to 17-year-olds in the United States, according to the CDC, have gotten one

00:39:03.720 dose of the vaccine. 58% have gotten two doses of the vaccine in that preteen to teenage range. But

00:39:12.380 still, that's a large percentage of them who haven't. And I just wonder about the parents of

00:39:17.240 those children, what they are going to do when they find out that in some states they are being coerced

00:39:22.320 to give their child a vaccine for a disease that is not a threat to them, and that in many cases,

00:39:28.160 they already have natural immunity too. The CDC also admits that heart inflammation linked to the

00:39:36.820 Pfizer vaccine, that it represents a slightly elevated rate than those who have not gotten

00:39:46.180 the vaccine in that age range. And so maybe the risk is small. Maybe you say myocarditis and heart

00:39:52.680 inflammation for a young person is small. Even, I mean, if the CDC is even like fully and authentically

00:39:58.380 representing reality and the findings there, it's still a risk. And people shouldn't be forced to

00:40:04.760 take that risk if they don't want to. But there have also been doctors who have said actually the

00:40:10.500 risk of myocarditis in young men is probably a lot higher than what the CDC is saying. And that is

00:40:16.700 absolutely a reason for someone, for a parent especially, to say, you know what, I just don't think

00:40:22.340 that's right for our family. I mean, there will be a kind of revolt if there are parents in states

00:40:28.500 who have to give their children a COVID vaccine in order for their child to be able to learn

00:40:35.120 and just finally have a sense of normalcy and try to catch up a little bit in their education. I mean,

00:40:41.600 really, before the midterms, that's an interesting move, a really interesting move. And again, this is

00:40:47.000 another example of the left really, really loves to be able to coerce the other side into doing

00:40:55.220 what they want them to do. And they're really not concerned about the consequences when it comes to

00:41:01.820 that. All right. So I saw this article just a few minutes ago in the New York Times title. FDA panel

00:41:17.300 recommends pulling preterm birth drug from the market. McKinney was approved on a conditional

00:41:23.700 basis in 2011 after it appeared to help mothers carry a baby to term. I always think it's so 1.00

00:41:29.740 interesting when outlets like the New York Times choose to use gendered language and when they

00:41:35.240 choose not to, like when they say pregnant people or birthing people versus mothers and women. Very

00:41:41.120 interesting. I appreciate the gendered language. There's a very, very low bar for what makes me 1.00

00:41:46.440 happy when it comes to the New York Times. So this has been out since 2011. And it was marketed

00:41:54.280 by the pharmaceutical companies as a drug that could help women prevent preterm birth. It would allow 0.99

00:42:02.240 them, it would help them bring their babies to term. And the way they convinced the FDA to fast track

00:42:12.220 this drug back in 2011 was saying that it actually helps racial disparities because black mothers are more 0.99

00:42:20.500 likely to go into preterm labor than white mothers. So isn't that interesting? They use that kind of emotional 0.99

00:42:27.000 and social justice manipulation to say this is why we need this drug fast tracked to the public. Well, now after 11

00:42:37.880 years, the FDA has realized that this drug is not effective at all, that it's not doing anything to help

00:42:46.940 women stay pregnant until 38 plus weeks of pregnancy. And actually, there are probably some harms here. 0.81

00:42:57.500 So now the drug is hopefully going to be taken off market because they found in an after market trial

00:43:05.340 that it is not helping. It's not doing what the drug company said that it was going to do. And the drug

00:43:12.120 company is upset by this. They're disappointed by this. They're asking for the drug to please

00:43:16.840 stay on the market at least for a subset of patients. And it is still using that racial disparity

00:43:23.900 talking point saying that, well, this is going to greatly affect black mothers who are at higher

00:43:29.780 risk for the preterm birth. And yet there is no evidence that this drug is helping black mothers

00:43:39.500 or any mothers. These drug companies and their cronies, whether it's in the media or whether 0.59

00:43:46.620 it's in the medical industry, literally will stop at nothing to make a profit. It does not matter that

00:43:53.220 this trial said that this drug isn't doing anything and can actually carry risk and side effects.

00:43:58.560 Because of that, they are still saying that they want to be able to profit from it. Thankfully,

00:44:03.240 I'm very glad that the FDA is hopefully saying, no, we're going to take this off the market.

00:44:08.060 We don't want women taking something that they shouldn't be taking that could actually 1.00

00:44:11.820 potentially cause harm to them and their baby and isn't fulfilling its intended purpose. And you

00:44:17.340 still have doctors, according to this article in the New York Times, and you still have members

00:44:21.180 of this company saying, oh, no, no, we need to we need to help black women by keeping this on the 0.98

00:44:26.000 market. So pay attention to that. Also, whenever you see that argument being made from this place of

00:44:32.500 supposed empathy and this place of social justice, whenever you hear people saying we need to do

00:44:38.120 something for the sake of racial justice or because of racial disparities, you should always ask what

00:44:45.080 the real motivation is, like what's really going on there. That really tells us also like where we are

00:44:50.040 in society that, you know, that saying those kind of talking points and talking about how something

00:44:55.680 disproportionately negatively affects black people is actually lucrative. It can actually secure profit. 1.00

00:45:01.800 And then you can accuse the person who denied you that opportunity for profit as racist. That's

00:45:08.220 interesting just how that goes. But I bring up this story to emphasize what we talked about yesterday.

00:45:12.620 But a lot of what we talked about today, too, is that there like there is a reason to question

00:45:20.060 what these agencies approve and what they are recommending.

00:45:24.480 This drug has been on the market for more than 10 years now and women have taken it with the hope 0.98

00:45:30.800 that it will help and it didn't and it could have negatively affected both them and their baby and

00:45:35.300 these drug companies will not be held liable. And so people have every right and actually the

00:45:40.580 responsibility are completely justified in asking questions about what the government recommends that

00:45:46.080 we put inside our body, what the government recommends when it comes to the kinds of vaccines that we

00:45:51.860 take, the kinds of medications that really work. There is very often, not always, but very often

00:45:58.640 perverse incentives that we would do well to at least ask questions about. I mean, think about the

00:46:05.500 very people who are recommending a lot of these things in the name of saving lives. They are also the

00:46:11.100 people who believe that it is right and good and beneficial to kill children inside the womb.

00:46:17.020 That is a warped and a backwards, a subversive worldview and a view of human beings and a view of human

00:46:24.480 nature. So I actually think for love of people and for love of God, like Christians do absolutely have

00:46:31.360 the obligation to ask hard questions about what is being recommended and about the industry standards

00:46:40.140 and talking points when it comes to our health and how we should be stewarding our bodies.

00:46:45.040 If the people who say that it should be okay to dismember children inside the womb for the sake of

00:46:50.780 health are recommending something else for the sake of health, like I think we're probably right in

00:46:57.740 questioning that. So just use discernment. Use discernment here. God did give us science and it's a

00:47:05.180 wonderful thing. But it's not God and human beings are fallible. And the scientific method is a great

00:47:14.600 method to be applied, but it has to be used with discernment and skepticism.

00:47:18.800 Okay, one last thing before we go, I wanted to tell y'all that we have new stickers just in time for

00:47:37.680 Halloween. You wouldn't think that I would, um, that I would be selling stickers around Halloween to

00:47:44.900 promote death, but I am celebrating this death. And so are you. And that is the death of Roe v. Wade, 0.51

00:47:52.620 which has been responsible for the slaughter of tens of millions of children over the past 50 years.

00:48:00.220 So we have these lovely little stickers. And if you're watching on YouTube, you will see what they

00:48:04.720 look like. And we will link in the description, whether you're listening or watching. And it is a

00:48:09.180 tombstone that says RIP Roe, 1973 to 2022. That's 50 years of faithful pro-life advocacy and the result

00:48:21.100 of the sovereignty and the goodness of God right there. And we got a sticker celebrating it. So if

00:48:26.020 you want to spark some interesting conversations at the airport or at the coffee shop, when you got your

00:48:30.940 your laptop up, or maybe if you want your car keyed, if you live in Seattle, you can put it on the back of

00:48:36.880 your car. Or if you just want to put it somewhere so you can look at it and celebrate, then that's what
