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

00:00:47.200
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
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
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
00:06:52.560
and the misinformation surrounding these laws that that says that women are not going to be able to
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
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
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
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.
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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
00:17:25.740
things for because of what is at stake, the blood of children. Christians have always been in the
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,
00:18:09.680
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
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
00:18:53.220
But let's be clear. Having children is why you're worried about your price for gas. It's why you're
00:19:00.600
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,
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
00:25:03.860
people being poor and destitute and childless after they have abortion after abortion. I'm just not
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
00:25:59.740
Stacey Abrams and she becomes governor, which I don't think she will, by the way, but if she does,
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
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
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
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
00:42:20.500
likely to go into preterm labor than white mothers. So isn't that interesting? They use that kind of emotional
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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

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,
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
00:48:42.440
you should do. Great gift to good stocking stuffer. If you're already thinking about Christmas. So go
00:48:48.340
ahead, go to the link in our description, get yourself an RIP Roe sticker. I will be putting it
00:48:54.920
on my laptop as soon as I get mine in. All right. That's all we've got for today. See you guys back here
