00:00:00.260 Christians often despair for the state of our country and the future that is being created for our children. 1.00
00:00:07.240 We feel like this is the worst it's ever been.
00:00:09.880 So what are Christians supposed to do?
00:00:11.660 My answer is the same thing that we have been doing for 2,000 years.
00:00:15.700 I will detail that encouragement for you today.
00:00:19.160 But first, we're going to talk about some craziness.
00:00:21.640 We're going to talk about the Trans Day of Visibility slash Vengeance. 0.98
00:00:26.180 That was supposed to happen this weekend.
00:00:29.400 In some places, it did happen and it was violent.
00:00:31.640 In other places, it didn't end up happening.
00:00:34.100 What really went on?
00:00:35.340 What does it mean?
00:00:36.520 What did our presidential administration have to say about all of it?
00:00:41.920 And also, we're going to talk a little bit about the Trump indictment.
00:00:45.400 My analysis as a Christian female Republican voter and the impact that I think it will or will not have on the election.
00:00:54.380 And also, we'll talk about some good stuff that's happening in our culture.
00:00:58.500 People effectively pushing back against the progressive chaos that we see going on.
00:01:04.820 So lots today, lots today, and then a special segment at the end.

00:01:16.080 Hey, guys.
00:01:25.860 Happy Monday.
00:01:27.100 Welcome to Relatable.
00:01:28.200 Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.
00:01:31.040 All right.
00:01:31.420 We've got a few things to get through today.
00:01:33.240 Some things I'm just going to go through quickly because I just want to talk about them, mention them.
00:01:38.240 I don't want anyone to say, why haven't you talked about this yet?
00:01:41.600 So I'm going to talk about some things that we don't have time to get in depth on.
00:01:46.220 And then I also just want to give you some Monday encouragement.
00:01:49.160 I asked you guys on Instagram, what do you want to hear about?
00:01:52.800 And a lot of you said, oh, I need to be reminded of who God is and his faithfulness.
00:01:57.420 And so we will certainly talk about that.
00:01:59.120 I'll talk a little bit about a speech or kind of repurpose a speech that I gave this weekend in Kentucky at the Answers in Genesis conference.
00:02:07.740 It was a women's conference, and I don't know if you've ever been to the Ark Encounter that has a replica of the Ark.
00:02:15.720 It is incredible.
00:02:17.120 The facility is just absolutely amazing.
00:02:19.760 They've done a top-notch job.
00:02:21.420 The experience is so cool.
00:02:23.200 And so I got to speak alongside a lot of amazing Christians and met a lot of you there.
00:02:28.800 Thank you for those of you who came out and who stopped by to meet me and get me to sign your book.
00:02:36.440 It was really just such a fun experience.
00:02:38.520 But I gave some encouragement there, and that is also what I want to give you today.
00:02:42.580 So let's look at the craziness, some of the craziness that's happening.
00:02:46.020 I want to talk about one cool thing that I've seen happen and just the reform or the form of resistance against the progressive zeitgeist of today.
00:02:56.620 And then I'll get into that encouragement.
00:02:58.360 And then the most important part of our show is producer Bree is going to summarize her experience at the Taylor Swift concert.
00:03:05.760 Now, some of you curmudgeons out there are going to be like, I don't care about Taylor Swift. 0.99
00:03:11.320 I don't want to hear about it.
00:03:12.820 That's fine.
00:03:13.480 You can dip out early.
00:03:14.540 You don't have to hear it.
00:03:15.360 But some of you do.
00:03:16.840 I do.
00:03:17.340 I want to hear a review of the Taylor Swift concert.
00:03:20.080 And so we're going to get to that at the end.
00:03:22.220 All right.
00:03:22.620 Let's get started with the Trump indictment.
00:03:25.520 And this is one of those subjects that I was referencing that I just don't want to hear.
00:03:29.700 Why haven't you talked about this?
00:03:31.000 You don't think this is important?
00:03:32.340 You've been anti-magic since the beginning.
00:03:34.720 Whatever it is, whatever y'all are about to say on YouTube because I haven't talked about this enough, I'm just going to mention it.
00:03:40.820 I'm not going to go into detail because there are lots of details about this.
00:03:44.360 And also, that's not really why you guys come to me.
00:03:48.460 When I asked you on Instagram yesterday, what do you want me to talk about tomorrow?
00:03:53.240 I got either zero or maybe one.
00:03:56.740 I don't know.
00:03:57.500 I'll say that maybe there was one person who said, I want you to talk about the Trump indictment.
00:04:01.440 The truth is, there are a lot of people out there talking about this.
00:04:04.560 There are a lot of people who have been following this story very deeply for a long time.
00:04:09.980 We mentioned it, I believe it was last week or it was a couple weeks ago.
00:04:13.500 I lose track of time.
00:04:14.400 When I talked to my dad and he was talking about whether there would be a perp walk and all that.
00:04:19.440 So you can go back and you can listen to our summary of it.
00:04:22.700 There have been some developments.
00:04:24.640 And so I'll tell you a little bit about that right now.
00:04:27.240 If you want a detailed analysis of this, you should go to the many, many conservative podcasts that will be talking about this today.
00:04:35.320 But because a lot of you follow this show exclusively for your news, I do just want to make sure that you know what's going on.
00:04:41.680 So here's a summary. Trump was indicted on Thursday.
00:04:44.960 This is a big deal. You probably saw a lot of headlines.
00:04:47.140 I think it was the cover of the New York Times magazine that I saw at the airport.
00:04:50.600 He will surrender to law enforcement on Tuesday.
00:04:53.120 So tomorrow, he's also giving a speech tomorrow.
00:04:55.780 I'm a little unsure about that timeline.
00:04:58.000 Maybe someone can clear that up for us.
00:05:00.140 The charges were not made public, but he supposedly is facing over two dozen counts related to business fraud.
00:05:05.720 His lawyer claims he does not expect him to do a perp walk or get a mug shot.
00:05:11.080 That's what we talked about with my dad a couple of weeks ago.
00:05:13.140 And he is planning to motion to dismiss all charges.
00:05:18.560 This is the first ever criminal case against a former U.S. president.
00:05:25.420 And obviously, as people are saying, as I agree with, this is a political witch hunt.
00:05:31.220 We're talking about misdemeanors here, trying to make it a felony.
00:05:38.200 And so the fact that Alvin Bragg is trying, is wasting his time on Donald Trump's case,
00:05:47.180 rather than focusing on the crime that is rampant in his own district, shows you the motivations.
00:05:53.080 This is obviously not the first DA to try to do this against Trump.
00:05:58.480 And so we know what the play is here.
00:06:01.280 We know that this is politics.
00:06:03.300 And this marks a really dark and a really sad turn in our nation's history.
00:06:08.960 And the fact that there doesn't seem to be any really prominent, loud voices on the left saying,
00:06:14.780 you know what, I don't like Trump, but I think that this is too far.
00:06:18.600 This is a very weak legal case.
00:06:20.540 I don't think that we should set this kind of precedent.
00:06:22.920 Look, if you haven't noticed, the left is not interested in whether or not something is hypocrisy
00:06:26.480 or whether or not something sets a bad precedent.
00:06:29.920 They are playing to win.
00:06:30.980 It's really only the right that thinks about that and cares about that.
00:06:34.180 Oh, we don't want to do this because it sets a bad precedent.
00:06:36.900 We don't want to do this because maybe it's unfair.
00:06:39.360 How would we like it if the other side did that?
00:06:41.560 The right thinks about that.
00:06:42.760 And I'm not saying that's a morally bad thing.
00:06:45.200 It's because there are far more principled people, far more heterodox people also on the
00:06:49.960 right than there are on the left.
00:06:51.340 But the left plays to win.
00:06:52.480 And that's also why we are where we are in any of this mess that we're talking about.
00:06:57.920 So rather than get into all the details of it, which again, you can go and read, we can
00:07:02.740 even link some sources in the description.
00:07:04.700 If you want to go read it, you can go listen to the many analyses out there of what's going
00:07:09.600 on.
00:07:09.820 Here's my assessment.
00:07:11.260 Just based on the demographic that I represent, the audience that I have, the conversations
00:07:15.960 that I have with you guys, demographic I represent, the vast majority of this podcast,
00:07:20.500 it's a very unique, conservative, political podcast audience, just because of the nature
00:07:27.180 of what we talk about.
00:07:28.140 It's not straight news.
00:07:29.220 We talk about so many things.
00:07:31.100 It is women ages about 25 to 45.
00:07:34.740 There are people who fall outside of that.
00:07:36.100 There's plenty of related bros out there.
00:07:38.120 There are people who, women who are in college, there are older women, there are all different
00:07:43.100 kinds of people who listen to the show, but that's the largest chunk.
00:07:46.340 That's the vast majority of our audience, women ages 25 to 45.
00:07:50.560 And because I interact with you guys so much, because I really pay attention to what you
00:07:54.680 guys say, the feedback that you give me, I have a pretty good, not a perfect by any
00:07:59.640 means, but a pretty good finger on the pulse of what the evangelical, the conservative evangelical
00:08:05.020 woman is thinking. 0.77
00:08:06.440 And here's what I keep hearing over and over again, that this seals the deal for the Trump
00:08:11.320 Republican nomination.
00:08:12.720 He will absolutely be our next president now because this happened.
00:08:17.020 And this is going to rile people up more than anything that you've ever seen before.
00:08:21.760 This is going to mobilize so many people.
00:08:24.820 It's going to gain so much enthusiasm for the cause of Donald Trump.
00:08:28.900 There's just no way he could lose.
00:08:30.700 Now, this is the biggest long-term political favor.
00:08:34.040 The Democrats could be giving the Republican Party or specifically Donald Trump.
00:08:38.000 I think people are overestimating how much people are paying attention to this and how
00:08:47.160 much people care about this.
00:08:48.940 I'm not saying that they shouldn't care.
00:08:50.620 I'm not saying that it is not important.
00:08:52.520 I'm just saying, I don't think the average conservative who is going about her day-to-day
00:08:59.180 life focused on the day-to-day things is really paying that much attention to what is happening
00:09:05.780 to Donald Trump right now, believe it or not.
00:09:08.280 I think we who are online, and I'm online a lot less than a lot of other conservative
00:09:13.560 commentators are.
00:09:14.520 I'm a lot less on Twitter than a lot of them are.
00:09:18.960 I think that being on Twitter so much and being so sucked into the media can really warp
00:09:24.080 how you see other people and public opinion.
00:09:29.580 I don't think that most conservatives would say they're excited about it.
00:09:32.940 I think most conservative women would say, yeah, that's really bad. 1.00
00:09:35.960 That scares me.
00:09:37.320 It scares me for the future of our country.
00:09:39.780 It scares me for really even the future of my family.
00:09:43.500 These kind of political witch hunts.
00:09:46.120 But I do not think it puts this determination in most average conservatives to make sure
00:09:52.740 that Donald Trump becomes president again.
00:09:56.100 I just don't think so.
00:09:57.180 I think actually a lot of people are thinking, look, I don't really want a president who just
00:10:02.280 wants to be president because he has a personal vendetta.
00:10:05.340 Again, I'm not saying whether or not I disagree with any of this.
00:10:08.920 I'm just telling you from my observations what I think is going through the minds of a lot
00:10:13.260 of people.
00:10:14.240 Yeah, that's scary.
00:10:15.200 But this has been a witch hunt against Donald Trump for a long time.
00:10:17.940 Maybe they're thinking, I'm not really that surprised by that.
00:10:21.220 I guarantee you this does not change what that demographic, what this voting demographic
00:10:27.080 thinks about Donald Trump.
00:10:29.240 Which is, I think, look, they liked Donald Trump as president.
00:10:32.760 They can look past a lot of the things that people said that we should care about.
00:10:36.840 The tweets and the accusations of racism and things like that, which most people think
00:10:42.920 are just, or most people on this side just think are silly and hypocritical at this point.
00:10:49.380 But I think that most of them feel, look, we're still tired of Trump.
00:10:54.720 I think most of them feel, yeah, he did his part.
00:11:00.460 He played his role.
00:11:02.020 We're very thankful for that.
00:11:04.000 And I'm sorry about what's happening to him.
00:11:07.320 And I'm scared about what's happening right now in our country.
00:11:11.140 But they still don't want him to be president.
00:11:14.560 They still want someone younger.
00:11:16.260 They still want someone fresher.
00:11:17.840 They still want someone who would have handled COVID differently.
00:11:23.180 They still want someone who is more morally and culturally aligned, who is not supporting
00:11:29.000 the right-wing LGBTQ caucus, which Donald Trump does.
00:11:34.000 They still want someone with a little bit more tact.
00:11:37.260 And so I think people on our side, commentators, are overestimating how impactful this is going
00:11:44.200 to be on Donald Trump's political future.
00:11:48.680 I don't think it's going to have nearly as much influence on the average Republican voter,
00:11:54.160 on the average conservative, as people think.
00:11:57.440 Like I said, I mean, we've got a very, thankfully, by the grace of God and the hard work of a lot
00:12:03.040 of people, we've got a very large audience here at Relatable.
00:12:06.300 Most of them are women. 0.83
00:12:07.740 Most of them are Christian conservatives.
00:12:09.580 That's a large voting bloc.
00:12:11.560 Will they vote for Trump if he's the nominee?
00:12:13.360 Yeah, they will.
00:12:14.860 They're tired of all of the leftist nonsense.
00:12:17.240 Will they vote for him in the primaries?
00:12:19.680 Mostly not.
00:12:20.600 And this arrest doesn't change that.
00:12:22.620 So that's my only analysis.
00:12:23.920 Just from my perspective, you can hate me for that.
00:12:26.140 You can get angry.
00:12:27.520 Whatever.
00:12:28.060 I don't really care.
00:12:29.020 I'm just telling you.
00:12:30.040 I'm just telling you as someone who probably has a better idea of what conservative women 1.00
00:12:35.920 are thinking than anyone else in the conservative commentator space, because I'm so constantly
00:12:42.020 interacting with those people, that that is probably, probably where the majority lie.
00:12:48.960 If you're outside of what I just described, that's fine.
00:12:51.840 I think you're an exception to the rule.
00:12:54.460 But yeah, I think that's where we are.
00:12:55.920 So that's my only analysis.
00:12:57.340 That's my only analysis of that.
00:12:58.860 And then we'll talk about it more.
00:13:00.080 We've got Steve Dace coming on the show on Wednesday, and you know that his analysis
00:13:03.420 is just always incredible and spot on.
00:13:05.220 And so he will talk a little bit more about the impact and the implications of all of
00:13:08.940 this, what it means for the future of our country, and specifically Christians then.
00:13:12.360 So let's move on, though, to the rest of the craziness.
00:13:14.900 We talked about political craziness.
00:13:16.220 Let's talk about the cultural and moral craziness that's going on in our country, as we so often
00:13:22.400 do.
00:13:22.720 This weekend was supposed to be a Trans Day of Visibility slash a Trans Day of Vengeance. 1.00
00:13:41.580 So we talked about this last week.
00:13:44.100 This was scheduled before the horrific Nashville shooting happened last week, the Trans Day 1.00
00:13:49.800 of Vengeance.
00:13:50.640 So this was supposed to be some big protest, some big demonstration in Washington, D.C.
00:13:56.340 And the reason for it was because there has been, in their words, anti-trans or anti-LGBTQ
00:14:04.020 legislation passed in all of these states.
00:14:06.780 Again, just to break down what they mean by that, because the left loves to use euphemisms
00:14:11.440 to make their sound moral and compassionate.
00:14:14.620 What they're talking about is the legislation in various conservative states that are either protecting
00:14:19.880 women's sports and privacy. 1.00
00:14:21.920 So, for example, in the state of Arkansas, a law was passed that said, look, girls get
00:14:27.220 to play against girls.
00:14:28.680 Boys don't get to play against girls in sports.
00:14:31.040 And also, boys who think they're girls don't get to go into girls' locker rooms.
00:14:34.960 They don't get to go into girls' bathrooms. 1.00
00:14:37.960 So this is protecting girls' rights, their privacy, their fairness in competition, their safety,
00:14:44.580 their well-being.
00:14:46.340 Identifying as something doesn't change what you are.
00:14:49.320 Your biology, your body is still a man. 1.00
00:14:52.140 And look, identities aren't what is a threat to sports and to privacy and fairness for girls. 1.00
00:15:00.900 Bodies are.
00:15:01.700 So identities don't compete in track and volleyball and basketball.
00:15:07.080 Bodies do.
00:15:07.800 So it doesn't really matter that so-called Leah Thomas says that he's a woman.
00:15:12.900 He still went through male puberty.
00:15:14.660 Period.
00:15:15.260 End of story.
00:15:16.820 And so bodies are competing here.
00:15:19.480 Bodies that are male should not have a right to compete against women in sex-exclusive sports. 1.00
00:15:27.220 And so that's what these trans activists are talking about, that women's rights and privacy
00:15:32.520 and fairness are all being protected in these states.
00:15:34.980 And not only that, they're talking about the legislation in states that are protecting children
00:15:39.840 from things like chemical castration, from puberty blockers, from double mastectomies.
00:15:45.180 That is happening in states across the country.
00:15:49.020 It's happening in California.
00:15:50.900 It's happening in Washington.
00:15:52.740 It's even happened in states that you wouldn't expect.
00:15:58.360 It's happening in even red states.
00:16:01.080 We saw that whistleblower who was working at a gender clinic in St. Louis who came out
00:16:07.640 and talked about all of the horrific things happening to minors who can't even fully comprehend
00:16:12.640 what they say that they want to go through, which is this process of switching their gender,
00:16:16.900 the cross-sex hormones, the puberty blockers, and how that's damaging their mind and their bodies 0.82
00:16:21.420 and their emotions forever, rendering them permanently sterile.
00:16:25.200 And so these laws are saying, look, we understand that kids can't consent to sexual activity with
00:16:30.320 adults.
00:16:30.780 Minors cannot consent. 0.95
00:16:32.320 Their brains aren't fully developed.
00:16:34.620 It's wrong.
00:16:35.800 We're going to bar legally that kind of activity.
00:16:38.760 And look, these things, these processes, which are just as damaging long-term, that maim their
00:16:46.820 bodies forever, they can't consent to those things. 0.99
00:16:51.680 It's wrong.
00:16:53.120 It's all more than that, more than the consent argument, because I also argue against trying
00:16:57.980 to argue morality simply based on consent, because I think it's flimsy.
00:17:03.160 That's only one part of the measure of morality and virtue.
00:17:06.880 It's not the primary part or the largest part.
00:17:11.420 It's one factor in that equation.
00:17:14.520 It's also built on a lie.
00:17:17.080 That's the most important thing.
00:17:18.620 Like, it's built on a lie.
00:17:19.500 It's not just that it's harmful to their bodies.
00:17:21.060 It's not just that they can't consent.
00:17:22.680 It's that it's built on a lie.
00:17:24.220 Like, you shouldn't allow cross-sex hormones and you shouldn't allow puberty blockers.
00:17:29.040 You shouldn't allow these procedures for this population, for these minors, because it's 1.00
00:17:36.100 built on a lie.
00:17:36.860 It's always a lie, by the way.
00:17:37.980 It doesn't matter if they're an adult or a child, but it's built on a lie.
00:17:40.980 You can't change your gender. 1.00
00:17:42.420 You can't change your sex. 1.00
00:17:43.680 And yes, those terms, those ideas are interchangeable.
00:17:46.980 They're not, in any real biological sense, two separate categories.
00:17:51.620 And so this trans day of visibility, this trans day of vengeance that they're talking 0.97
00:17:57.620 about is because of these laws.
00:17:59.820 These laws that are protecting the bodies, the health, the fertility long-term of these
00:18:06.840 minors undergoing these very lucrative procedures.
00:18:10.740 It's protecting women. 1.00
00:18:12.880 It's protecting girls.
00:18:14.540 And some states are also saying, look, you can't take, you can't have a drag show that 0.96
00:18:21.080 targets kids in attendance.
00:18:23.620 I'm sorry.
00:18:24.600 You can't.
00:18:25.680 Boo hoo if you want to cry about that.
00:18:27.880 You know what's incredible about the left is that they never cease to amaze me.
00:18:31.680 I should stop being surprised.
00:18:33.520 A few months ago, when all of these videos started circulating of these drag queens dancing 1.00
00:18:38.340 for kids, and I know you could think it's so innocent.
00:18:40.620 It's so inclusive.
00:18:41.640 There's nothing sexual about that.
00:18:43.720 Man, I don't want to encourage you to go on Twitter.
00:18:46.860 I certainly won't encourage you to download TikTok, but it doesn't take that long to look
00:18:54.020 at the sexual nature of a lot of these drag shows.
00:18:57.960 You can follow Libs of TikTok.
00:19:00.320 She's got example after example.
00:19:02.060 She's not creating or fabricating these clips.
00:19:05.000 I mean, there are literally videos, and I don't want to play them because they're so perverse,
00:19:10.600 of drag queens giving lap dances to minors. 0.83
00:19:13.900 We're talking about men dressed up in prosthetic breasts, and thongs, and corsets, and fishnet
00:19:24.280 tights, and high heels dancing and twerking for kids. 0.96
00:19:29.880 And you're telling me the law shouldn't protect kids against this?
00:19:33.160 This has nothing to do with inclusion or tolerance, or maybe it does, and those things are actually
00:19:38.740 bad when it comes to evil.
00:19:40.300 But there's nothing virtuous, nothing good about that at all.
00:19:44.480 And I'm actually just very concerned in general that there is any parent that exists that would
00:19:49.900 want to take their kid to something like that. 0.72
00:19:52.580 But just a reminder also, there is no non-predatory reason for a grown man to want to dress up like
00:20:00.020 a sexualized character of a woman and dance for children.
00:20:03.380 There's no innocent reason for that.
00:20:05.420 If a man has a desire to dance that way, to dress that way, to perform that way in front
00:20:10.100 of a child, there is something very perverse and wrong with that man.
00:20:13.940 We are talking about grown men.
00:20:16.380 Like, we're talking about grown men twerking for children.
00:20:19.560 And the fact that there are people on the left who are okay with that, who celebrate that,
00:20:26.180 and that's, I think I didn't complete my thought.
00:20:27.940 A few months ago, when all of this was starting to come out, and I said, you know what, this
00:20:33.660 is, now we'll have to, you know, put the left on the spot.
00:20:39.400 And now they'll have to defend these drag shows for children. 1.00
00:20:42.960 They'll never be able to do that.
00:20:44.460 There's no way they're going to be able to defend themselves.
00:20:46.120 I mean, they just did it.
00:20:47.540 They just did it.
00:20:48.680 Like, they were just like, yeah, we're good with that.
00:20:52.080 We're cool with that.
00:20:53.080 I haven't seen any prominent voice on the left say, oh no, man, for kids, like, even
00:21:00.480 if you're someone that's okay with drag, and you think drag is cool, you think trans is 1.00
00:21:03.860 cool, like, I haven't seen any prominent voice in the media on the left say, oh no, for kids
00:21:09.560 though, like, there's no even remotely rational voice that I'm seeing platformed on the left
00:21:15.800 say that kind of thing.
00:21:16.600 Like, they are so much more uniform in their messaging than the right is, because they are
00:21:24.040 all just, like, uniformly depraved in that way.
00:21:28.600 And so that's what the Trans Day of Vengeance was about. 0.86
00:21:32.040 It was supposed to be this past weekend, and they are going to show vengeance to the world
00:21:38.060 and vengeance to these politicians and vengeance to these so-called transphobes because of
00:21:42.960 these very logical and common sense laws that are being passed.
00:21:49.640 And of course, this is happening less than a week.
00:21:52.320 It was planned to happen less than a week after a person who identified as the opposite
00:21:58.940 sex, a woman who identified as a man, killed six people.
00:22:04.020 Killed six people at a Christian school, including three nine-year-olds.
00:22:08.920 And so what has been the response to all of this?
00:22:13.100 Because the Trans Day of Vengeance, also I meant to know, it didn't actually end up happening,
00:22:17.320 the rally in D.C., because they were scared for their own safety.
00:22:21.600 They were scared for their own safety, and that's something that we talked about a lot
00:22:24.720 last week, that all of the responses by this trans activist community, all of the responses
00:22:30.320 on the left, in the media, even from this administration, as we'll get into again today, has been about,
00:22:37.080 oh, poor trans people. 1.00
00:22:39.400 Trans people are at risk. 0.82
00:22:40.800 Trans people are so brave.
00:22:42.720 Madonna said that she's going to put on a concert supporting trans people because now they're 1.00
00:22:47.200 being targeted in light of the Nashville shooting.
00:22:49.420 Miley Cyrus is doing something similar.
00:22:51.480 So the real victims aren't the people whose blood was shed by a person who happened to
00:22:57.340 be or identify as transgender.
00:22:59.260 The real victims are trans people, the people who believe that they're the opposite sex.
00:23:04.500 It doesn't make any sense.
00:23:05.740 And also, trans people, trans activists, at least, after that, they didn't stop threatening 1.00
00:23:10.760 violence.
00:23:11.360 They didn't stop enacting violence.
00:23:13.540 We saw this horrible situation in Vancouver with an advocate, an anti-puberty blockers and
00:23:22.060 child transition advocate, Chris Elson.
00:23:24.460 He goes by Billboard Chris on Twitter.
00:23:26.460 He was in Vancouver, and it was a trans day of visibility rally there, and he was wearing
00:23:34.840 a sign reading, children cannot consent to puberty blockers, which, of course, is true. 1.00
00:23:40.700 And again, that's not the only problem with it.
00:23:42.660 The problem is that it's based on a lie, and it's also bad for them.
00:23:46.460 Even if they could consent, it would still be wrong.
00:23:49.000 Um, and so he is, he was then assaulted by a trans person there, um, simply for wearing
00:23:56.860 the sign.
00:23:57.580 He was peaceful.
00:23:58.760 He was trying to inspire a conversation.
00:24:01.120 That's what he does.
00:24:02.100 He travels the country to different places, and he tries to get people to talk to them.
00:24:05.600 He tries to change their mind.
00:24:07.140 And so, of course, he knew he was walking into a lion's den, but guess what?
00:24:10.340 You have the right to do that.
00:24:12.000 He was non-violent.
00:24:13.160 He was peaceful.
00:24:14.480 Children don't have the right to consent to puberty blockers.
00:24:17.560 This is what got him assaulted by these predators.
00:24:20.320 So here's a little clip of that.
00:24:21.880 You suck.
00:24:22.780 You suck.
00:24:24.060 You.
00:24:24.680 You're not wanted.
00:24:26.120 You.
00:24:26.560 You're a idiot.
00:24:28.140 You're a...
00:24:28.660 I don't know what to say.
00:24:29.760 These police are mostly indoctrinated as well.
00:24:32.900 You.
00:24:33.980 You.
00:24:34.900 You.
00:24:36.160 You.
00:24:36.920 You.
00:24:37.720 Hey.
00:24:38.480 Get your...
00:24:39.260 Okay, so if you're not watching, um, there is someone with long hairs, very obviously,
00:24:47.080 identifying as transgender, had makeup on, trying, trying the best, trying the best.
00:24:53.980 But anyway, um, you know, acting like men do when they are, uh, feeling aggressive and
00:25:00.400 when they're not reined in by any virtue or morality or value of peace, uh, this dude who
00:25:08.060 was harassing, uh, harassing Chris was being extremely aggressive, saying, F you, F you,
00:25:15.460 you suck, when he was trying to give an interview. 0.97
00:25:17.460 And then you see he tried to push him to the ground and they ended up, um, falling to
00:25:22.400 the ground.
00:25:22.900 In this assault, the police do nothing.
00:25:24.900 And actually, Chris tried to report this to the police, to talk to the police that were
00:25:29.360 standing there and saying, did you not see this person assault me?
00:25:32.000 And the police officer actually told him, and he has this on video, tweeted it out, this
00:25:38.680 female police officer said, oh, no, you provoked that. 1.00
00:25:42.120 You provoked that violence.
00:25:43.700 Really, you incited that violence.
00:25:45.200 How did he incite that violence?
00:25:46.680 By wearing a sign that said children can't consent to puberty blockers.
00:25:51.200 I mean, these are some of the most violent and vile, aggressive, masculine activists out 0.60
00:25:59.620 there.
00:25:59.960 I mean, it's really incredible for people who, like, are dying for the world to know that
00:26:06.080 or to believe that they are really women, that they're so feminine, that they're so dainty.
00:26:11.100 I'm like, maybe try not to act like a violent male criminal.
00:26:15.400 Like, did you think of that?
00:26:16.920 Like, maybe?
00:26:17.880 I don't know.
00:26:18.720 Maybe try not to act like a, uh, uh, male abuser.
00:26:24.580 I don't know.
00:26:25.920 Maybe that's an idea.
00:26:27.040 But they can't because they still have testosterone pulsing through their veins. 0.89
00:26:33.000 And testosterone is great.
00:26:34.960 It's great.
00:26:35.680 Men are awesome.
00:26:37.180 They're, they have an incredible capacity, an incredible strength that can either be used
00:26:42.400 for good or for evil in a way that, quite frankly, like, women don't have. 0.99
00:26:47.040 That strength and aggression that is innate and men can be used in incredibly heroic ways.
00:26:53.700 But they can also, as we just saw, be used in incredibly harmful and damaging ways.
00:26:58.440 So again, all of these men who want people to believe that they're women maybe stop acting
00:27:02.820 like the very worst of men that the planet has to offer.
00:27:06.660 So that's what happened to Chris over the week.
00:27:10.600 And I feel really bad for him.
00:27:12.060 And having no help and no support whatsoever from the police, knowing that the police is
00:27:18.180 on their side, is on the side of these violent activists.
00:27:22.600 It's wild.
00:27:23.860 And by the way, like, why do we need a trans day of visibility?
00:27:27.440 We see them everywhere and everything constantly.
00:27:32.860 I cannot scroll without seeing Dylan Mulvaney on my, on my timeline.
00:27:38.980 Now he's doing advertisements for Bud Light.
00:27:42.120 What?
00:27:43.460 Is it, is this the people who drink Bud Light?
00:27:46.960 They want to see Dylan Mulvaney drinking cans of Bud Light in the bathtub?
00:27:54.540 I have a hard time believing that.
00:27:56.040 I have a hard time believing that.
00:27:57.440 But trans people, people who think that they're the opposite sex, that's what we're talking 0.61
00:28:01.180 about, are extremely visible.
00:28:03.860 So visible.
00:28:05.260 We actually just watched one kill six people.
00:28:08.860 So I'm not really sure what this day was trying to accomplish, except for showing us once
00:28:13.640 again that they are actually a very, very, at least the activist class.
00:28:18.140 I'm not saying everyone who identifies this way.
00:28:20.200 The activist class is extremely violent and aggressive.
00:28:24.060 They were very visible over the weekend.
00:28:26.100 We saw that.
00:28:26.680 Okay.
00:28:27.100 We're going to get into a couple more examples in just a second.
00:28:29.420 Okay.
00:28:30.420 There were also rallies by leftists and in particular people who called themselves trans at various
00:28:49.540 capitals in red states over the weekend.
00:28:53.960 And at the Kentucky State Capitol, LGBTQ protesters stormed the Kentucky Capitol building and rallied
00:29:00.160 in downtown on Friday.
00:29:01.600 This is two days after the Kentucky General Assembly voted to override a gubernatorial veto
00:29:06.880 on legislation that bans quote unquote gender affirming care for transgender youth.
00:29:14.400 Of course, there's no such thing as gender affirming care that actively tries to change a person's
00:29:19.540 gender.
00:29:19.980 And then also in Kentucky, also in Texas, I believe there was also one in Tennessee where these
00:29:30.120 transgender activists, I think maybe we played that.
00:29:33.360 No, we didn't play it last week, but there is a clip circulating, I believe in the Tennessee
00:29:40.520 Capitol.
00:29:41.320 Where's the one that happened with the guy who looked like, oh, it was Kentucky.
00:29:45.280 It was Kentucky.
00:29:46.060 Okay.
00:29:46.200 Um, yeah, we'll play, we'll play that clip in a second of the ralliers, the protesters,
00:29:52.000 basically, basically staging an insurrection.
00:29:55.820 So I'm told this is, this is called a violent insurrection at the state capitals.
00:30:01.840 Again, again, just a few days after a person who identifies as trans murdered people in Texas,
00:30:09.120 like their biggest concern, their highest concern is their own self-regard.
00:30:15.620 Their highest concern is that kids can still access puberty blockers, rendering themselves 0.58
00:30:20.480 sterile.
00:30:21.300 So here's Kentucky.
00:30:23.080 Shame!
00:30:24.080 Shame!
00:30:24.920 Shame!
00:30:26.040 Shame!
00:30:26.840 Shame!
00:30:27.760 Shame!
00:30:28.840 Shame!
00:30:29.760 Shame!
00:30:30.720 Shame!
00:30:31.680 Shame!
00:30:32.680 Shame!
00:30:33.200 So that guy looks like the QAnon shaman that we saw on January 6th that was in prison
00:30:40.980 for his insurrection.
00:30:42.720 This guy is only going to get awarded because the people in charge care more about being allies
00:30:52.160 of LGBTQ people than they do justice or fairness or anything like that. 1.00
00:30:57.700 Um, okay.
00:31:00.240 Here is, uh, here is Texas, the rally there.
00:31:04.620 Drag queens don't hurt children. 1.00
00:31:07.540 Guns hurt children. 0.99
00:31:09.960 Protect trans kids!
00:31:12.480 Protect trans kids!
00:31:14.480 Protect trans kids!
00:31:16.500 Protect trans kids!
00:31:18.280 Protect trans kids!
00:31:20.400 Protect trans kids!
00:31:22.020 okay so if you're not watching that they're like laying on the floor of the texas capital i guess
00:31:37.340 in like a diet to try to say you're killing people there's no such thing as a trans kid
00:31:41.820 there's no such thing as a trans kid okay there's there's no such thing i mean there's no such thing
00:31:47.520 you can believe that you're the opposite gender that doesn't make you anything other than a male 0.99
00:31:51.820 or female whatever your chromosomes are there was also a vengeance day in los angeles the same kind
00:31:58.580 of thing again very very aggressive people who have no concern whatsoever with the safety or
00:32:04.760 well-being of others who only want the rights to be able to go into the opposite bathroom the 0.96
00:32:10.800 opposite locker room to be able to be identified as something that they will never be no matter how
00:32:15.560 many hormones or how much surgery they have they want everyone to celebrate and affirm the lie that
00:32:22.580 they have been deluded to think is true which is very sad like i have a lot of compassion for some
00:32:28.300 of these people now some of these people i have a hard time mustering compassion for because they're
00:32:31.820 very violent they're very mean-spirited but a lot of these people have just bought into a lie
00:32:36.360 they bought into a lie and they have been harmed themselves a lot of these people are survivors of
00:32:42.900 some kind of sexual abuse especially the women who want to become men so i have a lot of sadness
00:32:48.200 for them i have a lot of curiosity about what their parents were doing some of their parents did the
00:32:53.000 best that they could they tried some of their parents just affirmed this madness and so you have
00:32:58.140 to have some compassion that these deceivers have also been deceived themselves and you do have to
00:33:03.980 have some sorrow for that that at one point they were just like innocent kids they were just normal
00:33:09.760 human beings and maybe they felt a little bit different maybe they were bullied maybe they were
00:33:13.500 ostracized in some way and now they've come to believe something about themselves that isn't true
00:33:18.420 and now they are weaponizing that delusion against other people in some ways that is very violent
00:33:24.320 and yet the white house is not interested at all in talking about that they're not interested at all
00:33:29.940 and even questioning the health of some of the procedures that are being pushed on these children and on these
00:33:37.120 people they're they're not even going to mention the pattern of violence that we see from the
00:33:42.380 activist class here instead they are just going to honor this idea that a man can become a woman
00:33:46.780 and vice versa and paint them again less than a week after the nashville shooting happened
00:33:52.380 as unconditional victims so one day before the so-called transgender day of visibility president
00:33:59.940 biden issued an official proclamation declaring that transgender americans shape our nation's soul and
00:34:05.220 established a holiday relating to the group absolutely absurd if you think about what this is
00:34:10.420 why would we need to celebrate people who think that they're the opposite sex how did that become a
00:34:15.460 celebrated or protected class actually we know the answer to that question because we've analyzed the
00:34:20.060 history of that the roots of that ideology for a very long time but it's crazy how quickly this has
00:34:25.520 happened in the past few years so no proclamation went out with the names of the victims in nashville
00:34:32.800 i don't think he's visited nashville i don't think he's talked to these families you can correct me
00:34:37.660 if i'm wrong i wrong i haven't seen that actually the statements that we've seen from the president
00:34:42.160 when it comes to the nashville shooting are very strange the first thing that he said after it when
00:34:46.920 he was supposed to address the crowd you'll remember was talking about um thinking that there was ice
00:34:52.400 cream and the ice cream in his freezer i have not seen him at least not at the same level that he is
00:34:59.740 honoring so-called trans people honor the victims in nashville or even mentioned the fact or the
00:35:05.720 possibility that these people were targeted because they were christians at a christian school instead
00:35:11.480 he has been over backwards or his handlers have to make sure that trans people know that even a member
00:35:18.600 of their activist group committed this crime that they are above reproach that they are going to be
00:35:24.320 protected and honored and celebrated beyond anything any other group can really imagine
00:35:29.820 a lot of people struggled with his statement that transgender people shape our nation's soul
00:35:36.060 and basically they said no they don't no they don't well actually i would say they do they absolutely
00:35:41.320 shape our nation's soul everyone in this country every group every individual shapes our nation's soul
00:35:46.560 but how you answer the question of how they shape our nation's soul really indicates to me
00:35:53.120 everything about what you believe like it indicates to me uh what you believe about god what you believe
00:36:00.520 about the soul what you believe about right and wrong what you believe about reality of course it tells me
00:36:05.240 what you think about the culture wars and politics and all of that if you think that the idea of
00:36:09.680 transgenderism shapes our nation's soul for the better okay then we are on opposite sides if you think 0.99
00:36:16.680 that this kind of delusion that is harming human beings breaking apart families and rendering children
00:36:22.040 permanently sterile and introducing children to sexual and confusing topics at an early age if you
00:36:29.280 think all of those things are good then we are diametrically opposed in every way so they do shape
00:36:36.080 our nation's soul our nation's soul though is rotting our nation's soul is really dark our nation's soul
00:36:42.360 is really lost so it's true that transgenderism and so-called transgender people are shaping our nation's soul 1.00
00:36:48.980 but i would say in a way that is harmful for everyone including those people that identify
00:36:53.400 as the opposite sex and so he issued this long official proclamation i'm not going to read you 1.00
00:36:59.020 the whole thing it ends now therefore i joseph r biden jr president of the united states of america by
00:37:04.900 virtue of authority vested in me by the constitution and the laws of the united states do hereby proclaim
00:37:09.800 march 31st 2023 is the transgender day of visibility again already extremely visible there is no need for a 1.00
00:37:18.280 honoring this or declaring this in any way it's insane white house press secretary uh corinne
00:37:25.920 jean pierre declared that transgender people are quote unquote under attack here she is at the podium
00:37:31.700 state saying that our hearts go out to uh those the trans community as they are under attack right now
00:37:38.340 so that's where her priorities lie she also tweeted about this uh she tweeted this year's transgender day 1.00
00:37:46.120 of visibility comes in the midst of a historic wave of attacks on transgender kids again no such thing
00:37:52.460 is that there are no attacks on them there are no attacks on kids who are confused about their gender
00:37:57.320 there are people who are willing to stand in their stead there are people who are willing to protect
00:38:01.360 them people who are willing to say no you are not going to go through with that procedure i'm sorry
00:38:05.460 that you're confused let us do everything that we can to try to reconcile your confused mind with the
00:38:10.320 reality of your body but we are not going to allow you at least while you're a minor to maim your body
00:38:16.120 to try to conform to something that is just not true that is logical that is rational that is moral if
00:38:23.120 you disagree with that then you are irrational and you are immoral there's no nuance there there's no
00:38:28.880 gray there if you are trying to change a child's body or even appearance to match something that is just
00:38:35.160 not true a lie that they have in their mind that is immoral that is irrational that is cruel of course
00:38:40.940 the law should have something to say about that but these people they are romans one made manifest
00:38:45.880 they're deluded in the darkness of their minds they have exchanged the truth of god for a lie
00:38:51.840 they worship the god of self rather than the god of scripture the god of self is delusional it is
00:38:57.360 irrational it is illogical that's what sin does to you that's what satan does to you it it is
00:39:03.300 immoral and as i said on twitter there is no use arguing with people who are more worried about
00:39:11.320 transphobia than they are the lives of these children or the lives of these people rather
00:39:18.400 three adults three children that were murdered in nashville there's no there's no use arguing with
00:39:24.820 them because they are so very deluded they've got a brain they've got a mind of mush and a heart of
00:39:32.680 stone and aside from the holy spirit like aside from a god-given awakening and the core of their
00:39:40.780 being they will not be able to understand you if you try to explain to them why that's irrational or
00:39:46.240 immoral it will be like you are speaking mandarin to them it will be like you're speaking a different
00:39:50.260 language because they operate on another plane they operate on a different level and they cannot
00:39:58.700 understand that which is good and right and true no matter how hard you try god has got to change
00:40:04.520 their mind and change their heart and i pray that he does because in the meantime kids people are going
00:40:11.380 to be damaged by this ideology
00:40:13.380 okay so we don't have time to get into all of this i do want to be able to give you the encouragement
00:40:31.280 i want to give you but i just wanted to point out what's happening in the nhl we talked about it a little bit i think
00:40:37.380 a couple weeks ago we talked about ivan proverov a few months ago how the nhl and all these teams are
00:40:43.500 having a pride night where they have to wear these lgbtq flags and their and their hockey sticks have to be
00:40:49.160 decorated in this way and now we've got several we've got several nhl players that are pushing back
00:40:55.420 against this last thursday night florida panthers players eric and mark stall refused to wear the jerseys
00:41:00.880 citing their christian beliefs and they said look we've got we have to follow christianity we have
00:41:08.200 to follow our christian beliefs and one of the guys that we talked about uh a couple weeks ago he said
00:41:13.620 look the bible is the highest authority in my life and so i am not going to do something whether it's for
00:41:21.480 my job or not that is going to go against that and so now a bunch of these teams are saying you know
00:41:26.900 what you no longer have to do this or we're not going to have the pride night anymore because there's
00:41:30.960 too much pushback so i bet there are even more players than what we are reading about in the news
00:41:35.100 just saying no i'm not going to celebrate this and also as we talked about a couple weeks ago now when
00:41:40.040 you celebrate pride when you wear these flags you're not just saying oh it's okay for two men or two women
00:41:45.260 to be together whatever you are now fully endorsing this idea that a man can become a woman and vice versa
00:41:50.640 and that children can be on puberty blockers that it's totally fine so you have even another thing to
00:41:55.840 think about endorsing if you are saying that you're celebrating pride or wearing this pride flag
00:42:01.080 so you're going to have even more people say even people who would have maybe worn the regular rainbow
00:42:07.020 flag a few years ago now saying no i'm not going to do that but then you've got these christians who
00:42:12.120 are saying no i've got to reject all of it because the bible is very clear about this i'm not going to
00:42:15.860 wear something that goes against my beliefs in the highest authority in my life so this shows like even
00:42:21.720 though we're talking about the power structures that are totally dominated by progressive ideology
00:42:26.140 we're talking about like top down delusion i didn't even have time to mention so-called rachel levine 0.92
00:42:33.120 our hhs assistant secretary and his statement that he put out saying oh trans kids yay we need this
00:42:40.720 so-called gender affirming care again very very creepy very immoral very evil so this is happening from the
00:42:47.320 top down but you also see when there are men especially i think it's particularly important
00:42:54.520 to have strong men simply stand up and say no no i'm pushing back against this no you're not going to
00:43:01.380 bully me no you're not going to intimidate me no you're going to have to fire me first no i'm not
00:43:07.900 going along with that you see how quickly this topples you see how quickly this goes you see how flimsy it
00:43:13.620 actually is you see how scared they actually are in a lot of ways like we need strong people within
00:43:19.840 these organizations to stand up and say no that doesn't mean there won't be consequences that
00:43:24.520 doesn't mean that sometimes you won't be fired you won't be let go but you have no idea the domino
00:43:29.440 effect that it can have so way to go nhl players and i think this is one example it ties into the
00:43:36.280 encouragement that i gave at the answers in genesis conference over the weekend that i get this question
00:43:42.100 a lot what are christians supposed to do what are we supposed to be doing america's going to hell in 0.60
00:43:46.680 a handbasket everything is just getting worse and worse and in some ways that's absolutely true
00:43:51.100 but in some ways it's not in some ways things today are just as dark as they were 2 000 years ago
00:43:56.960 it's different sin has manifested itself differently the threats are different technology poses
00:44:02.100 a different kind of threat and a new kind of maybe more pervasive evil more accessible evil
00:44:08.140 than we saw 2 000 years ago but if you look at pagan greece in rome what was going on there there
00:44:13.920 was gender bending there was rampant prostitution there was rampant child sex abuse and um there was 0.93
00:44:20.620 obviously uh tyranny uh in a lot of ways and there was this misconstrued belief that human worth was
00:44:31.000 measured not by anything innate but by something called logos if you look back at some of the
00:44:38.120 ancient scholars during this time in ancient greece and rome they believed that a person's value
00:44:45.000 to the nation state to the cohesion of the nation state was their logos which is the greek word
00:44:50.740 for speech um or for word or for reason and so the belief really was that the adult free male was the only
00:45:02.040 one with full logos power with the full capacity for logos and um only they really could fully contribute
00:45:12.000 to the nation state to the cohesion of society to productivity to the new ideas that would advance us
00:45:19.140 into the future women didn't fully have logos slaves of course didn't barbarians didn't the elderly 0.99
00:45:26.200 didn't fully have logos anymore and children certainly didn't children were seen
00:45:30.820 as kind of animals as barbarians and owen backey wrote an incredible book called when children
00:45:37.560 became people several years ago and he analyzes this he looks at why the ancients during this time
00:45:44.400 pre-christianity kind of uh marginalized all of these groups except for the adult free male
00:45:50.640 and especially objectified and exploited children he goes through a variety of reasons for that some of it
00:45:56.460 was practical childhood mortality was really high and some of it was really more moral and philosophical
00:46:03.120 this belief that they just didn't contain logos you could educate them maybe they could inherit your
00:46:08.460 stuff later on maybe they could take care of you later in life but really that was the only value
00:46:13.260 that children had they didn't have any innate value because this idea of innate human worth simply was
00:46:19.480 foreign to these cultures at the time and yet what changed that because now in much of the world
00:46:25.560 not everywhere but in much of the world certainly here in the states we have historically at least
00:46:30.580 believed children to be a protected class the poor to be a group of people that we need to help
00:46:36.280 the truly actually oppressed even though that word has been co-opted to be people that we need to lend a
00:46:41.800 hand to so what changed because that certainly wasn't what ancient greece and rome believed that's not what
00:46:48.260 the ancient scholars really believed what changed that what changed these groups of people from being
00:46:54.840 marginalized being seen in a lot of ways by many people particularly in the west today as protected
00:47:00.660 classes christianity christianity changed everything christianity made children as owen backey
00:47:09.160 a historian argues people not just these objects not someone that could maybe one day grow into someone
00:47:18.700 valuable but a human being fully that deserves because of their vulnerability protection christianity
00:47:26.520 changed that and here's what i think is interesting and i've been talking about his book and i've been
00:47:30.280 talking about this concept for a long time and how it completely revolutionized how the world saw these
00:47:35.380 groups and it changed the trajectory of the west it changed society it changed cultures it was the
00:47:40.900 foundation of things like the abolition of slavery this is why christians invented public hospitals
00:47:46.700 that's why christians invented orphanages that's why today we still run most disaster relief 0.98
00:47:52.520 organizations and most organizations and non-profits that are dedicated to the betterment of
00:47:58.180 the homeless and the poor and children and the abused domestic abuse shelters christians served as 0.89
00:48:06.360 the foundation for all of these things because of this radical gospel introduced by jesus who said
00:48:12.240 let the little children come to me who emphasized the already jewish idea that all of us are made in
00:48:19.500 the image of god doubled down on that by saying according to ephesians 2 we are all equally dead in christ
00:48:25.100 because or dead in sin apart from christ we are all equally alive in christ by grace through faith in
00:48:33.060 him so this radical equality this radical innate value that christians brought onto the scene completely
00:48:38.900 revolutionized and disrupted all of the scholarly wisdom of ancient greece and rome and here's what
00:48:46.980 i think is interesting is that these scholars believed that logos was the measure of value for a human being
00:48:54.780 and then what did it take to disrupt that silly idea logos capital l the word made flesh as we read in john
00:49:02.980 one jesus himself logos is the word used there the word became flesh indwelt among us jesus christ the big l logos
00:49:14.440 jesus trumped the little l logos of the greek and roman scholars of the time we read in first corinthians 1
00:49:21.440 that god has shamed the wisdom of the wise and turned it into foolishness and used what is despised and what
00:49:28.260 is weak in the world to shame the wise and the strong that's what he did through the gospel that's
00:49:33.940 what he did through christ and that changed everything so what did christians do during this
00:49:39.540 time yes they were persecuted yes they received pushback yes they faced martyrdom for disrupting
00:49:45.740 this idea of human beings and how society should run and what justice looks like and how we should
00:49:50.760 treat the poor and children and women and all of these things but they continue to persist they 1.00
00:49:55.620 continue to persist in their daily lives and their personal lives preaching the gospel how they
00:50:00.200 conducted their marriages how they treated their servants how they treated their spouses and their
00:50:06.080 children how they treated their friends how they took care of each other as communities and churches
00:50:09.800 but not just that they built things they changed the culture they pushed back against the injustices the
00:50:16.800 oppression of leaders they resisted the tyrants this is the history of the church the building of
00:50:22.620 hospitals and universities and schools the education of young people the teaching of virtue this is what
00:50:29.340 christians have done for the past 2 000 years especially post-reformation you are looking at the
00:50:34.660 creation of societies the world uh had the the likes of which the world had never seen before based on
00:50:41.560 this radical and uniquely christian concept of a human right christians have been pushing back against evil
00:50:48.660 and big in small ways and personal and public ways and political and cultural and and um big in small ways for
00:50:56.680 2 000 years
00:50:57.760 and so what do we do today in the face of tyranny in the face of an administration that so clearly hates us what do we do
00:51:05.500 today in the face of delusion what do we do today in the face of immorality and lies and destruction and the
00:51:12.480 threat of real persecution coming to christians here in the west what christians are doing around the
00:51:18.460 world what christians have been doing for 2 000 years speaking the truth and love living and doing
00:51:24.640 the gospel of jesus christ and so that can look a lot of different ways that might look like to you in
00:51:32.360 this stage of life changing the next diaper with joy sharing the gospel with your neighbor um making sure
00:51:40.100 that you are a hard and excellent worker that is operating with integrity and enthusiasm um it can
00:51:48.940 also mean more public stances that you are making it can be pushing back against unjust policies within
00:51:55.900 your workplace it could be maybe in your stage of life running for public office it could be posting
00:52:01.100 something on social media it could be um a variety of things that god could be calling you to it could be
00:52:07.320 planting a church it could be going into ministry it could be starting a non-profit it could just be
00:52:11.480 volunteering at a local non-profit there are many public and private and personal and political ways
00:52:17.420 that christians can build that which is good and right and true refuges of truth and clarity and
00:52:24.440 courage in an age of lies and confusion and chaos and cowardice this is what christians are called to do
00:52:33.380 this is what christians have always been called to do and remember you are fully protected you are fully
00:52:38.680 immortal you are fully emboldened until christ calls you home all of your days have been numbered before
00:52:45.240 any of them came to be you have nothing to fear nothing to fear
00:52:51.060 william tyndale said let his little flock be bold therefore because god is completely sovereign over all of it
00:53:00.180 nothing and no one can touch you unless god wills it and god is faithful and good so he is going to
00:53:07.860 accomplish what he wants to accomplish through you you have every reason to be joyful you have every
00:53:12.240 reason to be hopeful you have every reason to be absolutely emboldened to follow exactly what he has
00:53:19.740 called you to and so we push back against these lies with truth and love we don't mess around with any of
00:53:25.400 these progressive satanic ideologies that would exchange the truth of god for a lie and we represent
00:53:30.920 that truth in love in everything we think say and do if you don't know what that looks like for you as we
00:53:37.400 often say do the next right thing in faith with excellence and for the glory of god again that might be
00:53:46.660 washing dishes that might be reading your bible that might be sending an email or maybe it's a bigger leap of
00:53:52.340 faith than all of those things i can't tell you exactly you have to use discernment wisdom from the
00:53:58.560 bible also from others and prayer discernment of the holy spirit but christians today are called to what
00:54:05.020 christians have been called to forever and the same gospel the same strength the same power the same god
00:54:12.320 the same big big l logos that was empowering christians to disrupt depravity two thousand years ago 1.00
00:54:21.140 is motivating us today so we have every reason to have hope every reason to have joy be bold therefore
00:54:27.620 all right brie now is the time we want to hear okay so brie as you guys know if you've been watching
00:54:46.940 or listening she is a uh she's a resident swifty and before we get into it because i know that we're
00:54:54.420 going to get some curmudgeons i just want to say we know brie knows that taylor swift would probably 1.00
00:55:01.240 do you know this taylor swift would probably hate oh yeah she would not like me and she would hate us
00:55:06.940 because our values are diametrically opposed like we know we know we know we know so i am not hailing
00:55:14.660 her as some kind of moral hero and neither is brie no we like her for only superficial reasons that
00:55:21.200 she's an excellent artist and i wouldn't consider myself a swifty which is i would argue is not even
00:55:26.760 a superficial reason i think you can respect people for their artistry yes and also think that they have
00:55:33.580 terrible political opinions yeah so the left doesn't believe that it's only the right that's willing to
00:55:38.740 be that tolerant that's so true um so i mean it is amazing i was talking to my dad about this he was
00:55:44.780 like why doesn't he taylor swift he she you know says all these things and believes all these things
00:55:48.620 which i totally understand but like she's been on top for so long which is really impressive yeah
00:55:54.520 yeah i do have a big qualm with her taking talking about how she would be so much more successful if she 1.00
00:56:02.800 was a man because i'm like you what she has a whole song about it called the man and i'm like you
00:56:09.500 the reason you're so successful is because you're a woman and you've related to women i don't even know
00:56:16.660 how she could possibly think that i know it's crazy she had a whole song about a whole thing there's a
00:56:21.860 ton of men who have tried to be like ed sheeran not as successful as her yeah maroon five i don't even
00:56:29.240 know who male artists are i know sam smith for various reasons she was a man she would not be 0.52
00:56:35.600 selling out these arena tours like she is so yeah okay so tell okay tell us about the concert okay
00:56:42.760 it was the best thing i've ever seen it was the best show i've ever seen in my life
00:56:49.600 and how many concerts have you been to um i don't know maybe 10 10 or 15 you've been to 10 or 15
00:56:57.440 taylor swift concerts no oh taylor swift oh yeah just taylor swift uh three okay and this was the
00:57:03.500 best oh yeah okay but best overall show ever okay tell me um so she performed for three hours and 15
00:57:12.100 minutes straight wow there was no intermission wow the longest break i think she took which was like
00:57:19.300 a costume change was maybe like a minute and a half two minutes yeah everything else was her
00:57:24.140 performing um she performed 44 songs what yeah from 10 different albums she sings the whole song
00:57:32.040 uh some of them were shortened versions okay but the quote i mean i think most of them were full
00:57:38.180 full length um and at the end her voice did not even sound tired so i don't know and she does that
00:57:47.440 back to back so i don't know yeah multiple shows in a weekend right yeah and i yeah i was the first one
00:57:53.980 of the weekend but um i just can't imagine what kind of like regimen you have to be on to preserve
00:58:00.260 your voice like that i know and she danced too right she danced yeah um there were if i counted 0.75
00:58:07.060 correctly 16 outfit changes oh wow okay so she didn't change for every song no she didn't change for 0.93
00:58:13.640 every song she changed mostly for every like era yeah of her 10 eras yeah um okay so this is the
00:58:20.160 era's tour for that so she's representing all the different eras she's going through her whole
00:58:25.640 career i don't think she sang anything from her first album but every other album is the first
00:58:29.940 album fearless or no no it's just called taylor swift oh um yeah and she sings a song at least one
00:58:38.580 song from every album and the whole like set costume everything changes based on like the theme of
00:58:46.260 the album or like the color of the album so it really was more like a broadway show in terms of
00:58:52.760 production and like sets and stuff than than like a concert yeah it was really crazy they got i brought
00:59:00.500 a prop they gave us all these when we got in what is that's just like these are little wristbands okay
00:59:06.340 and they light up and i guess they're uh they use like little transmitters to know where you are in
00:59:13.420 the stadium and that like lets them light up at the right time so the audience itself becomes part
00:59:21.000 of the show and they light up like with the set and it's it's pretty crazy there's a moment in her
00:59:28.000 reputation part in the where she's singing from her reputation album which has a lot of like snake
00:59:33.000 motifs um when the lights in the stadium like went around like a little snake yeah it was really
00:59:39.880 crazy i wish i had a video but i don't sorry um i do have a uh image of my my view which was kind of
00:59:49.080 behind the stage yeah did you but you felt like it was good though yeah i couldn't see her when she 0.90
00:59:54.540 was on that maid stage but you can see the stage is huge it goes across the whole field there yeah 1.00
00:59:59.140 and um there's a giant screen so i was watching the screen a lot but oh my goodness and you're going to
01:00:05.520 another concert right i'm going to another one yeah oh my goodness okay what was your favorite
01:00:11.220 era not just your favorite era in general but like of the concert i this is not my favorite taylor
01:00:19.940 swift album but the 1989 part was really cool just like set wise the dancers were great um i thought it
01:00:26.780 was really fun but it was all i mean it was all really good she had me crying at one point because
01:00:31.340 she sang a song that makes me cry all the time i didn't think what song is it um it's called
01:00:36.160 marjorie it's about her grandma and um it's like a lesser known one so i didn't think she'd say it
01:00:42.460 i thought it was about marjorie taylor green it's not believe it or not it's not about that that's
01:00:47.580 from folklore right yes which is your favorite album no it's from evermore uh folklore is my favorite
01:00:54.180 album yeah i saw i think you posted on instagram the all too well yeah which i love that
01:01:01.300 song yeah i would have i would have been singing out i probably like it's crazy because i don't
01:01:06.140 call myself a swifty and i'm really not like i don't follow her closely or anything but i feel
01:01:11.320 like i know most of her songs and would have been there singing them out oh that's so fun you would
01:01:18.380 have had a blast yeah and so if any if i know it was really hard to get tickets so i'm sorry if anyone
01:01:23.660 was not able to and this makes them sad yeah but if you can get cheap enough tickets to justify it
01:01:29.900 worth it yeah i went the only time i've went to taylor swift i've gone to a taylor swift concert
01:01:35.460 was um i think 2015 and i loved it i mean it was really good yeah it was great it was a great
01:01:43.060 concert i remember thinking that was the best concert that i had ever been to yeah and so i would go if
01:01:48.360 anyone wants to like i don't know fly me to where you are and give me a ticket i will not pay but if
01:01:55.920 you just want to take me if you want to kick a friend out of your friend group and say all right
