00:20:04.680What and I used to I came up with this probably 10 years ago or 15 years ago.
00:20:10.000It's like liberals love to criticize Ronald Reagan for trickle down economics.
00:20:17.860And I'm like, liberals believe in trickle down social justice.
00:20:22.380The better you treat liberal elites, that justice is going to trickle down to poor people.
00:20:29.260And so you see a lot of black Ivy League educated, wealthy pundits and journalists arguing for things that will benefit them while pretending as if.
00:20:47.220Now, once I receive these benefits, it's going to rain down on you guys in the hood.
00:20:52.920But I got to receive the benefits first.
00:20:55.480And so they hated Reagan for trickle down economics.
00:20:58.840But they love trickle down social justice.
00:21:04.720And but like, you know, it doesn't trickle down.
00:21:07.360I think trickle down economics is largely legitimate.
00:21:10.080But the social justice stuff, when the corporations pretend to be, you know, care about the marginalized and things like that, and BLM even pretends to care about the marginalized, it doesn't actually translate at all into the communities that really need help.
00:21:28.560The ideas, the policies that they push actually adversely affect the communities that they say that they're pushing for and actually foments more hate and more division.
00:21:39.800And it really just makes the people pushing it rich.
00:22:10.540It'll be tough for Christians to watch.
00:22:13.740But much of what he was talking about had a biblical point of view and the right point of view, in my opinion.
00:22:21.920And one of the things he talked about was Lululemon.
00:22:23.960And they have signs outside their store talking about we're not racist and blah, blah, blah.
00:22:29.380And he's just like, hey, man, I don't care if you are or aren't racist.
00:22:33.480Just sell them yoga pants at a reasonable price.
00:22:36.960You know, I'd rather have $20 yoga pants that are racist than $100 yoga pants that aren't racist.
00:22:43.140I think he was speaking mostly a black audience in Baltimore and everybody's wildly applauding these companies and everybody with their little charade of pretending like they care when they're really just want access to more and more money and to do business with more and more elites.
00:22:59.660They don't care about the working class.
00:23:01.560And speaking of that Chris Rock special, I'm glad that you brought that up.
00:23:16.000So he said a lot of things that conservatives are talking about.
00:23:18.700It's so interesting how comedy is kind of entering this space.
00:23:22.420Some of the guys like Dave Chappelle, Joe Rogan, and Chris Rock, who have been around for so long, are kind of, you know, they're kind of leading the way and obviously not being conservative, but just saying things that are true, which apparently is a conservative characteristic.
00:23:37.520But he said also, you know, he talked about the Will Smith thing, and I want to hear your thoughts on that.
00:23:42.960But a lot of something that a lot of conservatives are talking about is that he said, he said, there's part of me that's pro-life, before using humor to remind his audience, that abortion is killing a baby.
00:23:56.500She said, he said, I believe women have the right to kill babies, Rock said.
00:27:03.780And so I really say to all Christians and believers, you should watch this and stomach some of the profanity to see that there are guys out here like Chris Rock.
00:27:14.980Most of his jokes on Saturday, maybe all of them, were consistent with a biblical worldview.
00:27:23.020Ali, he told jokes about how you know you're in a good neighborhood or not, and you can judge it by who's at home out in the neighborhood at 12 o'clock on a weekday.
00:27:33.940And he says, if you go to a neighborhood and there are women in sweatsuits, walking babies, riding bikes, and just leaving the gym, hey, you know you're in a good neighborhood.
00:27:43.660If you go to a neighborhood and there are men in sweatsuits out in the front yard, lifting weights or riding bikes, you know you're in a bad neighborhood because men need to be working.
00:28:14.920And so it was much of what I thought what he did, it'll go over most people's heads.
00:28:21.500He talked about his oldest daughter and how stupid people say, you know, kids are born into the world pure and culture just turns them bad.
00:28:55.440And so I'm just, if you can stomach the profanity, the messages, none of the jokes in there violated my core values and principles.
00:29:05.600And I was just like happy because if you turn on late night TV, every joke pretty much violates my core values and principles.
00:29:14.420And, you know, I can appreciate that as like, you know, Dave Chappelle, I would say he does have some jokes and I'm like, oh, I don't think I agree with that.
00:29:22.240But like, I can take the truth out of what he's saying and appreciate it.
00:31:47.680And then he talks about, like, my mother now, twice a year, flies to Europe to visit my daughter who's in culinary school, I believe, in Paris.
00:31:59.220And he's like, I got nothing to complain about.
00:32:03.540Life is, you know, I came from nothing to my daughter being over in Paris in culinary school.
00:33:25.020They need people like you and me to bring them all the way over here and see their need for, you know,
00:33:30.960that God created the heavens and the earth and all that.
00:33:32.920But we will link arms with people who don't agree with us on everything, who at least see some of the absurdities.
00:33:38.860And just by the way, we don't have to talk about this anymore, but I did find based on some of the keywords that you said,
00:33:43.900that 2005 Slate article where they said that he's the William effing Buckley of comedy, of stand up.
00:33:54.140And, you know, it's funny because they're talking about how on what used to be Hannity and Combs on Fox News,
00:33:59.960how they had a conservative actually drudge on, say, complain about how awful Chris Rock is because of his abortion joke.
00:34:09.200His abortion said or his abortion joke said it's beautiful that abortion is legal because you know that the women there are sexually active.
00:35:22.560Don't come asking me for child support.
00:35:25.000And I think he said that he is like, you know, the he has impregnated someone seven times and encouraged them to get an abortion seven times.
00:35:35.540And, you know, I see all these like think pieces about all the systemic reasons why there's a disproportionate abortion rate among the black community.
00:35:43.520But I think it's probably the reason why a lot of people have unprotected sex that ends in abortion because they feel like it because they want to.
00:36:54.600And so if that man really understood his role, he would know, no, I'm not putting this on a woman.
00:37:01.580I'm going to take care of myself and take care of her.
00:37:06.080If I'm going to have promiscuous and immoral sex, I'm going to do it responsibly with a condom.
00:37:13.480I'm not going to bring a child into my irresponsibility and then have that child murdered or have that child raised without my involvement.
00:37:24.080That man was talking about he had seven kids with seven different women and that he had impregnated other women who he had talked into abortions or they were willing to have abortions because I told him I wasn't raising no baby.
00:37:37.440And what I heard primarily was just an irresponsible man who's bought into equality and he thinks that every woman he lays down with is his equal.
00:37:48.120And so anything that results from this is all on her.
00:38:23.560You better make sure you don't get pregnant.
00:38:25.520And if you do get pregnant, it's on you to provide for that child or it's on you to murder that child.
00:38:32.540That's a man dumping all the responsibility on a woman because he's bought in to the mentality of the feminist, of this whole super equality and that women really are the natural, true leaders.
00:38:48.600He's bought into all that to cower that he has mentally transitioned.
00:39:06.980Actually, I saw something that Chris Rock said.
00:39:08.960He said he said, women, stop letting broke men get you pregnant, which I think is a good piece of advice.
00:39:15.240But, you know, obviously we would go a step further and I would say, women, stop sleeping with people that are not your husband, period.
00:39:23.380If he is not willing to sacrifice the freedom of singleness or even dating for you, then he is not someone that you should be giving your body to.
00:39:33.940Because whether you like it or not, consent to sex is consent to pregnancy.
00:39:37.780People who say those are two different things, that's like saying consent to eating isn't consent to digestion.
00:40:06.620I want to add one more thing, and I'm sorry.
00:40:09.700This, what I'm about to add is probably very secular, but it just comes down to responsibility.
00:40:17.280And so if you're a woman and you want a relationship with a man or friendship, whatever, if he's not willing to make the smallest, the tiniest of sacrifices for your benefit.
00:40:38.120But if that man is not willing to deny himself a half percent less pleasure by putting a condom on, just a half percent less pleasure to protect you and him, that's not a man you want to marry.
00:41:26.300If he won't make that tiny sacrifice, you think he's going to get up and go to work on days he's not feeling well to take care of you and your baby and your family and your household?
00:41:48.340What's going to stop him from going to strip clubs and trying to hook up with whoever he can as long as you don't find out he's not willing to make any sacrifice?
00:41:58.920And I would say outside of the grace of God, that is true, because we know stories, of course, of like, OK, that happens and the guy realizes his mistake or he realizes what he did.
00:42:10.340He mans up, they get married, he starts to work.
00:42:14.440I would say that's the exception, but that happens, but not outside of the grace of God.
00:42:18.920Like, it is the grace and the strength of God that might bring that person to repentance and, you know, makes or some or another authority.
00:42:25.940Maybe that guy who made the mistake has a dad that tells him, hey, buddy, like you did this.
00:42:31.980You need to now own up to it and you are going to take care of them.
00:42:36.740But like, as you're saying, that is the exception to the rule.
00:42:39.660So women, be more discerning, be more discerning.
00:42:56.680Gosh, there's a couple other stories, but I think we only have time to get to one.
00:43:02.240OK, this I don't know if you've seen this.
00:43:04.300It's a story out of Ohio, and we were talking earlier about how BLM and these organizations, these corporations that push this stuff, they're actually perpetuating a lot of harm and fomenting a lot of hate.
00:43:16.520They're not talking about the things that we're talking about, the importance of fatherhood, the importance of responsibility, the importance of working hard.
00:43:22.500Instead, they're pushing on young black kids that you need to hate white people and pushing on white kids that you need to hate yourself.
00:43:30.300And this manifested itself at a school in Ohio, Springfield, Ohio.
00:43:34.420Last month, police were called the Kenwood Elementary School after the school's principal informed police that a group of black students, that a group of black students were gathering several white students on a spot of the playground and forcing them to state black lives matter against their will.
00:43:55.280Students that attempted to avoid the situation were chased down, escorted, dragged and carried to that spot of the playground and then forced to say Black Lives Matter.
00:44:05.880One student was punched in the head by one of the suspects.
00:44:10.000Two parents say that their 12 year old son was one of the students gathered on the playground to make the declaration.
00:44:17.860And so, I mean, maybe this is just a one off.
00:44:22.780OK, kids bully and they say stupid things.
00:44:25.200And so I don't want to hold them to a higher standard than we should.
00:44:28.220But I do just have to wonder, is all the Black Lives Matter curriculum and stuff that we're pushing on kids, is it actually helping bring us together?
00:44:45.020We're living in the world that Joe Biden predicted or what we're living in a racial jungle where we've pitted kids against each other rather than kids seeing the humanity and the common ground that they have with each other.
00:45:08.540Rather than kids seeing each other as image bearers of God, we've turned them into identity obsessed folks along racial lines.
00:45:19.340And the BLM movement has made black kids think they're entitled, they're owed something by their white peers.
00:45:31.620And that's a recipe for death, because maybe you'll get some kids to bow on a knee and drop down and say Black Lives Matter.
00:45:42.100But your sense of entitlement is not going to stop there.
00:45:44.880That's not going to satisfy your sense of entitlement.
00:45:48.040And so you'll be waiting around a long, long time for some other kids or another group of people to do something for you that God and the world require that you do for yourself.
00:46:07.680And it's, again, kids do bully and do all kinds of silly things.
00:46:12.740But we have certainly taught them this as adults, that, hey, you black students, you black kids, you're owed something.
00:46:20.540And if white people won't give it to you, they're racist and they are worthy of derision and bullying.
00:46:28.820And, you know, if the message that's being sent out is so antithetical to how I grew up and what was going on in my generation.
00:46:39.560But the message, if I'm a white parent sitting out there, it's just like, I don't know if I want the hassle.
00:46:48.060Let me move away because, again, I could be well-intentioned and say the wrong thing, and the next thing you know, I'm the worst person on the planet.
00:47:01.300Again, kids are fascinated by each other.
00:48:51.620And one of the things that you're doing is that you're gathering men together.
00:48:54.300Because as you talk about so much, so many of the problems that we have actually comes down to the responsibility of dads.
00:49:01.380And the responsibility of fathers is, you know, as capable as women are, as important as women are.
00:49:07.320We just, we don't have the same capabilities.
00:49:09.120We don't have the same responsibilities as men do.
00:49:12.060And that is why you're bringing men together at an event on April 15th, Fearless Army Roll Call.
00:49:18.060So tell us what this is, why men should be signing up for this, and how they can register.
00:49:24.840When I was younger and first getting into sports writing, Bill McCartney, the head football coach at the University of Colorado, had something called Promise Keepers.
00:49:35.920And men would come together to celebrate their shared love for Jesus Christ and remind each other of their roles and responsibilities in this world.
00:49:49.140And Bill McCartney is, you know, no longer the head coach at Colorado.
00:49:55.820It had a lot of traction, a lot of success in the 90s and early 2000s.
00:49:59.700And so I want to bring that back, but I want to bring it back with a bit of a musical aspect to it, because I'm here in Music City in Nashville, and I believe that music has a tremendous power to bring people together.
00:50:19.000Music has been rigged in this society to divide people at the moment.
00:50:23.240But I think gospel music and just music in general, if sung properly and used properly, can bring us together.
00:50:32.300And so we're going to bring men here to Nashville.
00:50:37.080We're myself, Pastor Anthony Walker that appears on the show, T.J. Moe, Pastor Bobby Harrington, and Delano's Choirs.
00:50:45.300We're going to give a series of lectures and talks about the responsibility of men and try to inspire men to go back to their communities, to go back to their families and live up to this biblical role that was spelled out in the Bible.
00:51:03.680Part of our slogan for the role call is bearing witness requires courage, not perfection.
00:51:11.800That's a big thing for me because I use my own journey to try to explain to guys, hey, don't wait to get perfect and then come to God.
00:51:23.460Come to God and let him work on you and he will start weeding out the flaws.
00:51:30.180The more I wear my Christian faith publicly, the more it locks me into behavior that God would approve of and be pleased with.
00:51:41.600When I was hiding my Christian faith, my Christian faith was always there, but I kept it covered up so that I could run out into the world and do whatever I wanted to do and have no one judge me as a Christian.
00:51:54.820Yeah. And I want to be judged as a Christian because being judged as a Christian makes it so, oh, Jason Whitlock can't go into a strip club because he would look like a fool.
00:52:07.740Jason Whitlock, he's a Christian in here. Oh, my God. I would look like a fool.
00:52:12.480So I started wearing my faith publicly and it's like there's all kinds of things I can't do.
00:52:17.560And and and that's actually a good thing. I need limit. I'm a fallen person.
00:52:23.460We all are. We need limits on our behavior. And so when I'm reminding myself constantly that I'm a Christian, it's like when I get cut off in traffic, I don't throw my finger out the window.
00:52:34.200I remember, oh, I'm a Christian. We don't do that. And so we just want to inspire men to wear their faith.
00:52:44.280You don't have to be perfect. I'm very flawed. We're all very flawed. We just need courage.
00:52:51.100And then once you put on that armor of God, watch how much better you'll be.
00:52:55.940Watch how much happier your wife will be with you, how much happier your children will be with you,
00:53:01.340how much more effective you'll be on your job and and and how much more willing you will be to stand up against these very toxic forces we have tearing this country down.
00:53:16.220Once you get into the Bible, once you start listening to God's word, you'll understand our Constitution and the values that made this country great.
00:53:26.360You'll understand why America's Constitution allowed us to improve and improve and increase freedom and rights to so many people that everybody's banging on the door to get into America.
00:53:41.800All this this horribly racist country.
00:53:44.180But you got black people and brown people from all over the world that would give anything to live here.
00:53:49.140This is the safest, most prosperous, most opportunity rich land in the planet, on the planet for black people.
00:54:00.460And it got that way because of our constitutional founding.
00:54:05.220Our Constitution was laced with biblical values.
00:54:08.700And so we're just going to hammer those points.
00:54:12.180We're going to have sing some music, have some music there, have some food.
00:54:16.740Uh, it's going to be a good time and everybody's going to go home inspired and a better man, a better husband, a better father, brother, uncle, uh, community leader.
00:54:31.720And this will be the first of what we hope will be many that will take around the country the way Phil McCartney and the promise keepers did.
00:54:38.320And so soon we'll be coming to Dallas or coming to Atlanta or coming to Los Angeles or coming to Buffalo.
