hey guys welcome to relatable happy wednesday hope everyone is having a wonderful week
00:00:53.640
so far if you haven't listened to yesterday's episode with aaron wren living in a post-christian
00:01:01.100
country what the heck happened in 2014 that caused us to spiral so quickly into the depravity that
00:01:08.320
we're seeing today go listen to that fascinating conversation i learned a lot but today uh per
00:01:14.060
usual we've got a lot to talk about a wide range of things that we're discussing today the first
00:01:18.400
thing that i want to talk about is the potential end to the trad trend now if you have no idea what
00:01:25.500
i'm talking about you can go back and listen to a previous episode that we talked about the kind of
00:01:30.100
trad life trad wife trend that is going on on social media now let me clarify what i'm going to say i am
00:01:37.440
of course not dogging on a traditional life uh being a traditional wife traditional gender roles living on
00:01:44.800
a farm raising chickens and cows and homeschooling and all of those things i think that's wonderful
00:01:49.620
but on portions of social media particularly on tiktok i don't reside on tiktok i see my tiktoks later on
00:01:56.140
instagram like a grown-up millennial but there is uh has been a trend of kind of cosplaying like a
00:02:04.900
traditional family without necessarily talking about biblical values and so trying to achieve this kind
00:02:11.220
of 19th century aesthetic to show that you're really going back to your roots and in so doing
00:02:19.380
setting these very unrealistic standards for what motherhood looks like and i've noticed among a lot
00:02:26.320
of christians this kind of feeling of insecurity that if you are not raising your own chickens if you
00:02:32.900
are not wearing a you know prairie dress all day and and farming and making your own cheese and
00:02:39.600
making sourdough from scratch that maybe you are not doing enough to be a titus 2 woman but it seems
00:02:48.240
like the trad trend again not talking about actual traditional values and traditional uh families but
00:02:55.180
the trad trend on social media seems to be coming to an end i have felt like this but then i saw this
00:03:01.700
article by this outlet it's a great outlet called the conservator and i saw it on instagram and it links to
00:03:08.780
uh their article which i thought was really interesting so the instagram post says this
00:03:12.800
if it's been a while since you've seen a little house on the prairie clad woman telling you to bake
00:03:17.060
sourdough you're not alone the trad wife trend has been in vogue for several years now but any trend that
00:03:22.880
is an aesthetic before it is a values-based movement is doomed to be short-lived and ripe for takeover
00:03:29.260
oh i think that's a very insightful sentence and here's what the article has to say
00:03:34.460
has the trad bubble popped this is by alina cloth uh the trad wife trend has been in vogue for several
00:03:41.080
years okay i just read that perhaps it emerged in the post-covid return of many women to the
00:03:45.980
domestic sphere in any case the popularity of online trad influencers seems to be fading almost
00:03:51.960
as quickly as it began as carmel richardson argues in the american conservative fun videos of cooking
00:03:58.300
cleaning child rearing fills a void left by young women raised primarily in daycare and government
00:04:03.400
schools many of them didn't watch their mothers be homemakers but self-proclaimed trad wives are
00:04:09.860
still influencers uh while there's nothing wrong with most of the things valued by the trad movement
00:04:15.780
the trend unhelpfully takes conservative values such as family modesty and traditional gender roles
00:04:21.320
and turns them into cosplay escapism i think that again is very insightful and we have argued the
00:04:27.600
same thing on this podcast in many ways conservative values are attaching themselves to an aesthetic
00:04:33.100
not the other way around and any trend that is an aesthetic before it is a values-based movement
00:04:38.800
is doomed to be short-lived and ripe for takeover the bottom line the trad movement isn't conservative
00:04:46.560
necessarily i would add because it sees nothing left to conserve it's empty and escapist this is an
00:04:53.060
opinion a perspective of what's going on however any movement that hinges more on cottagecore pinterest
00:04:58.480
and owning a backyard cow that on truth goodness and beauty um isn't built to last and then we've
00:05:06.220
also talked about before how being a traditional wife and being a traditional mom while these things
00:05:12.820
can be wonderful it's not necessarily synonymous with being a biblical wife and mom and if you don't
00:05:19.440
know what i'm talking about by this like trad trend trad aesthetic that's not necessarily biblical
00:05:27.000
here here here are a few examples of that here's one what you want to be when you grow up
00:05:51.000
okay so again i'm not indicting these people i'm not saying that this is bad i am just giving you an
00:06:08.660
example of some of the things that are online that have to do with this kind of trad trend that
00:06:16.300
really attaches to a particular aesthetic so here's my takeaway on all of this and let me give
00:06:22.900
you some caveats because i know many of you out there maybe you're offended by that um like it is
00:06:29.760
indicting you as someone who does raise chickens or you do live on farm and you do cook from scratch it
00:06:36.640
might sound like someone is calling you someone who is obsessed with just an aesthetic and being
00:06:41.740
superficial and trying to attach to a trend and you're thinking well that's not who i am at all
00:06:46.340
you cook from scratch because it's healthier you make sourdough because you love to make sourdough you
00:06:50.260
wear dresses because it's more comfortable you raise chickens and and you're living on a farm and you
00:06:55.360
homeschool because all of these are aligned with your values and your goals as a family and i think
00:06:59.260
that's awesome like i i actually love following people like you i also love learning from people like
00:07:04.540
you i think it is so important to have people that lead different kinds of lives and obviously people who
00:07:10.000
make our food it's extremely important so i am cheering you on and supporting you uh what i think
00:07:17.460
is important in noticing that this is kind of become an aesthetic on social media is that it sets for some
00:07:24.400
women an unrealistic standard of what it means to be a biblical woman there is nothing wrong in uh with
00:07:33.180
farm life in and of itself there is nothing wrong with cottagecore in and of itself there's nothing wrong
00:07:38.740
even with a particular aesthetic that someone is putting online in and of itself but uh when some
00:07:46.940
women look to that or compare themselves to that and they feel like wow i can't really be a conservative
00:07:52.120
i can't really be traditional i can't really be a proverbs 31 woman and a christian wife and mom unless
00:07:58.380
i am doing those things and look like that uh then we fall into this trap of allowing social media to set
00:08:06.980
the standards of motherhood rather than god and his word because the truth is while those things are
00:08:13.840
wonderful you do not have to do them you do not have to align with that aesthetic in order to be a godly
00:08:21.200
mom in order to be by the grace of god throughout your life a proverbs 31 woman look at me i am not
00:08:31.600
someone who is probably going to make sourdough starter i'm probably not maybe at some point in
00:08:38.800
my life in a different season i will be feeding my five-year-old sourdough starter and i will be
00:08:46.460
making a loaf of bread every week that's just not me right now it's probably not going to be me for
00:08:52.300
a long time you're not looking at a cottagecore person you're not looking at someone who raises her
00:08:57.600
own chickens i don't even have a garden again think it's amazing if you do i'm not even growing
00:09:02.940
my own herbs that's just not the life that i lead i actually really love the suburbs i love the city
00:09:09.100
and while i would love maybe one day to live on a plot of land and to live off my land that's just
00:09:17.040
not who i am right now that's not where god has called our family and i just want to encourage you
00:09:23.240
um that motherhood is not an aesthetic and so when you see this online when you are following for
00:09:30.960
example ballerina farms again it's incredible what she's able to accomplish and do and she's beautiful
00:09:37.160
and her family is great and all of that but i just want you to be careful not to compare yourself to
00:09:43.260
that and to think that you are falling short of the kind of mother that you need to be because your
00:09:49.560
life doesn't look like that you do not have to live on a farm you don't have to make your own
00:09:55.160
sourdough you don't have to do those things in order to be a godly woman in the 21st century if you
00:10:01.760
can if you want to if that's a goal then i think that's amazing but remember motherhood is beyond an
00:10:08.100
aesthetic it is a calling that god has placed on our lives and it is going to look different in some
00:10:15.060
ways than each of us for each of us now of course we all have a biblical standard and we can all read
00:10:20.460
titus 2 but you can keep an orderly home you can love your children you can raise them in the
00:10:26.480
admonition of the lord you can feed them healthy food you can care about their nutrition and their
00:10:31.600
well-being and the how your home feels and looks and all of these things without cosplaying really as
00:10:40.540
a so-called trad wife trad life that we see on social media and that should be very freeing now
00:10:49.000
i posted this on social media yesterday hoping to encourage women and thankfully it did the vast
00:10:55.700
majority of comments and messages that i got were people saying yes i feel seen this is great this is
00:11:01.320
what i needed to hear that motherhood is much deeper and better and bigger than any trend that we
00:11:06.960
see on social media but you would also think that i told people that making your own sourdough is of
00:11:15.440
satan like you you would think that i told people that if you do live on a farm and you do kind of uh
00:11:23.820
fall into this almost 19th century-esque life and you make things from scratch that i am indicting you
00:11:30.260
and condemning you as a person that i think that you're wrong or bad or ungodly or anything like that
00:11:35.280
no oh my gosh that's not what i said that's not even close to what i implied and that requires so
00:11:43.120
much effort to read into something that was absolutely not said that i am just begging you to
00:11:48.200
save your finite energy and direct it towards something more productive than being offended by
00:11:54.580
something that is simply not offensive the fact is we all have different gifts we all have different
00:11:59.500
callings we all have different strengths and while we are all called to godly spirit filled
00:12:05.240
motherhood it's not going to look the exact same for me i get very tired i get very tired um
00:12:13.920
just by imagining making something from from scratch but for other people it gives them energy and
00:12:20.980
they're great at it or they feel like they have to because this is what their family needs to survive
00:12:25.480
and thrive and i think that's amazing i just want to free you from arbitrary and superficial standards
00:12:32.220
of what it might seem that conservative traditional biblical motherhood must look like we have to look
00:12:38.840
to god's word not to any influencer not to any trend not to social media not to me not to any other
00:12:45.000
podcaster um but thankfully by god's grace like there's a lot of freedom and flexibility within
00:12:51.600
god's standards for what biblical motherhood must look like um now some people also took it as me saying
00:12:58.240
that uh i think that uh i think that homeschooling is bad or something i mean which is absolutely crazy
00:13:03.400
if you've spent any time around here at all you know i'm a huge advocate for homeschooling but really
00:13:08.440
i am an advocate of christian education and so that doesn't necessarily mean homeschooling i think
00:13:14.120
homeschooling is awesome um but i it's not always necessary to give your child a biblical education
00:13:21.060
there is a lot in between homeschooling full-time and sending your kids to a you know a secular
00:13:28.860
government school there's a lot in between that um and so that's the point that i was trying to make
00:13:34.700
of course i believe in christian education and i've advocated for that uh many times and so this should
00:13:41.720
be a liberating conversation this should be an encouraging conversation if you are not going to make
00:13:46.460
sourdough that is great then people like you and i we can support other people who make sourdough
00:13:54.360
because we buy our sourdough from a bakery and if it weren't for people like me they wouldn't be
00:14:01.640
selling sourdough if everyone were making their own sourdough then no one would be making money off
00:14:06.500
their sourdough so look i'm we are we are us we suburban moms who are not making our own sourdough starter
00:14:15.140
we are booing the economy if you will we are all playing our part in our communities and in the
00:14:22.700
body of christ so yay that is good good news you can be a traditional wife and mom a biblical much
00:14:30.080
more importantly wife and mom without fitting into any aesthetic so you can meet me somewhere between
00:14:37.580
sourdough starter and girl boss that's where i reside
00:14:41.300
all right yesterday you might remember that brie gave a prediction she gave a prediction that lil nas x
00:15:00.820
uh famous for his music video where he was giving satan a lap dance uh is going to become a christian this year
00:15:10.220
which i said is an amazing prediction i would absolutely love to see it and of course he is going to sit on
00:15:17.320
the white couch on the relatable uh on on the relatable set and tell us his testimony hey god can do it
00:15:25.160
god can do it with god all things are possible um so we saw this after she gave that prediction though
00:15:32.060
uh strange timing and this is the headline from fox news rapper lil nas x unveils cover art for his new
00:15:40.360
single j christ yikes yikes on monday rapper lil nas x unveiled the cover art for his new single j christ
00:15:49.380
which releases on friday january 12th the artwork features a picture of himself on the cross being
00:15:54.940
lifted into place by a group of people he also included a gif of himself as jesus on a golden
00:15:59.740
cross that transforms into a kind of armor around him so here's what he tweeted and right now like his
00:16:06.220
name on twitter is a cross a mighty single is dedicated to the man who had the greatest comeback of all
00:16:10.780
time j christ january 12th 2024 be there and so obviously this is extremely extremely blasphemous um you
00:16:21.720
can see the picture that we will put up on youtube of him on some kind of golden cross um yeah so very
00:16:30.380
i think very very disturbing okay he also has posted an image of himself i guess as jesus taking
00:16:38.740
communion very strange um and you can see a picture of that he also posted an altered image yesterday that
00:16:48.000
seems to show that he was accepted to liberty university studying biblical studies um he has
00:16:54.420
been promoting what he's referred to as his quote-unquote christian era of music on social media
00:16:59.140
started with a video of him dancing to one of the songs with the caption y'all mind if i enter my
00:17:03.400
christian era in the video he's wearing a shirt that says if god doesn't exist then who's laughing at us
00:17:09.780
so obviously this is all just a pr push this is um just making a mockery of god and understandably
00:17:17.440
people are offended by this now i think that he is probably doing this for very superficial reasons
00:17:25.100
or he thinks they're superficial reasons he probably doesn't give a whole lot of weight to the spiritual
00:17:30.840
seriousness of what he is doing um but i think he's probably doing it because it causes a stir it causes
00:17:40.500
people like me to talk about it so i guess i am i am playing along with this um i will say what i said
00:17:47.140
when people were freaking out about his shoes wasn't it brie it was his shoes that came out a couple
00:17:54.120
years ago that had a bible verse on it what was it um lil nas x bible verse shoes didn't i think they
00:18:06.820
had like a drop of blood in them right supposedly oh yeah it was luke 10 18 and it was paying homage
00:18:16.580
to satan and so he's been on the satan trend for a while and luke 10 18 says and he said to them i saw
00:18:25.360
satan fall like lightning from heaven and of course a lot of people understandably freaked out about this
00:18:31.540
because this is satan just right out in the open and you've got someone who was glorifying satan as i
00:18:38.660
said he's got a music video where he has given satan a lap dance so a very disturbed uh person um but what i
00:18:46.240
pointed out at the time and this is what i will point out now is that um when you look at someone
00:18:54.240
trying to highlight a verse that he thinks glorifies satan uh god can still use that for good even
00:19:03.120
though satan is meaning it for evil even though lil nas x probably had bad motivations for it the word
00:19:09.600
of god does not return void and if we look at that verse in context we actually see the power of god
00:19:16.740
the 72 returned with joy saying lord even the demons are subject to us in your name and he said to them
00:19:24.880
i saw satan fall like lightning from heaven behold i have given you authority to tread on serpents and
00:19:30.860
scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall hurt you nevertheless do not rejoice in
00:19:38.500
this that the spirits are subject to you but rejoice that your names are written to heaven so this is
00:19:46.540
after jesus appointed 72 sent them on ahead of them two by two into every town and place where he himself
00:19:54.100
was about to go this is where he says the harvest is plentiful but the labors are labors are few so as
00:20:01.300
they returned to jesus they said oh my gosh demons are even subject to us because of you because of your
00:20:07.300
power and jesus said yeah i know i watched satan fall from heaven and i have given you the authority
00:20:13.720
that i have to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall
00:20:18.840
hurt you so isn't it interesting as lil nas x thought that he was citing a verse that i don't know
00:20:24.680
showed the splendor or the uniqueness of satan in context this passage is actually about how christians
00:20:32.040
have authority have spiritual authority that has been given to us by christ through the power of
00:20:38.200
the gospel and how satan is not going to win he's not going to be victorious so even as i look at
00:20:45.020
something like this album from lil nas x which is insanely blasphemous it just hurts me i mean it hurts
00:20:51.860
me not because god needs my defense he doesn't need me obviously to uh protect him but it hurts me for
00:20:59.540
lil nas x like it hurts me for the callousness that i think this creates not just in him and his own
00:21:06.460
heart but also in the people who follow him the normalizing of this kind of uh imagery i mean this
00:21:14.100
is self-idolatry taken to its extreme and i just shudder for what it will be like to stand before
00:21:22.680
the judgment throne of god without the protection of the blood of christ and uh i do think the images
00:21:30.880
like this becoming so mainstream and no longer shocking us is a really bad indication of where
00:21:38.440
our heart is as a culture i mean it kind of proves what we talked about yesterday that really truly we
00:21:44.460
live in this post-truth post-christian world whereas uh an image like this 50 years ago would have
00:21:52.300
been forbidden it would have caused a big stir yeah i'm talking about it on my show now but for a lot
00:21:58.100
of people it's not even going to cause any waves because we're just used to this kind of blasphemy
00:22:04.220
but i do believe that the worst blasphemers the most depraved sexually immoral people can be saved by
00:22:13.580
the grace of god right now lil nas x just like every other person without christ is dead in his sin
00:22:21.480
he's dead in his sin apart from christ there are not different levels of dead if you are dead you
00:22:26.700
are dead and the only way he can be made alive and this is true for all of us is by grace through faith
00:22:33.080
in christ he can make us alive with christ and we can be reconciled to god who is our enemy without christ
00:22:43.440
anyone can become a friend of god no matter how far off they are through the blood of christ and so
00:22:50.520
i will pray that breeze prediction uh comes true that lil nas x who clearly is inspired um by satan i think
00:23:01.380
in a lot of ways and inspired by evil in a lot of ways that he will see the light because god can do that
00:23:09.860
god can do that um he said some questionable things in the past he said y'all love saying we going to
00:23:15.280
hell but get upset when i actually go there lmao y'all saying a gay n-word twerking on a cgi satan's
00:23:22.200
the end of times like slavery and the holocaust didn't happen okay yeah that's strange comparison uh
00:23:31.280
i definitely don't think that a music video is the indicator of the end of times but i certainly do think
00:23:39.160
that it is a sad indicator of where we are um as a culture but he has a mind of mush and a heart of
00:23:47.520
stone as we all do apart from christ and i will pray that his heart changes and just a reminder
00:23:53.200
like god is completely powerful i think that we have the tendency to fixate on things that celebrities say
00:24:01.080
and fixate on satanic symbolism and uh we forget uh that satan is extremely crafty and extremely deceitful
00:24:12.160
and extremely insidious and uh his best work is not really done i don't think out in the open um but
00:24:20.960
in hiding and so i think that we would do better to focus on the ways that satan is working um
00:24:28.860
in our churches in our own lives and uh in our own relationships and how he is trying to as much
00:24:39.480
as he can uh inhibit the advancement of the gospel i'm not saying that we shouldn't also talk about
00:24:45.660
these things obviously i'm talking about them um but i don't want us to focus on the big out there
00:24:53.520
uh forms of satanic imagery and forget how satan more insidiously weaves himself into um into our
00:25:06.980
everyday lives through temptation and all kinds of distortions of what god calls good and right and
00:25:12.840
true but i just want to remind you of psalm 2 why do the nations rage and the people's plot in vain
00:25:19.840
the kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers take counsel together against the lord
00:25:24.520
and against his anointed saying let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us he who
00:25:30.360
sits in the heavens laughs the lord holds them in derision then he will speak to them in his wrath
00:25:37.140
and terrify them in his fury saying as for me i have set my king on zion my holy hill god is
00:25:46.960
completely in control he who sits in the heavens laughs the lord holds them in derision and this
00:25:53.600
is especially apt considering that davos is happening next week um as they come together and they think uh
00:26:00.900
you know they collude together about how they're going to basically take the place of god god sits
00:26:06.760
in the heavens and laughs because he knows that he is ultimately in control and he knows that victory
00:26:12.380
is his so just a reminder of that when we see depravity whether it's on a small or big scale
00:26:17.860
that god is completely in control and even in our own lives remember that he who started a good work
00:26:24.180
in us will bring it to completion because he is faithful even when we are faithless so we can trust
00:26:30.400
we can trust in our own sanctification because the holy spirit and we can also trust in god's victory
00:26:35.400
ultimately uh in the world uh and the advancement ultimately of his kingdom because of god's
00:26:42.100
sovereignty okay so i saw this video going around that i thought was just so sweet and heartwarming
00:26:59.880
and this is the usa junior hockey team um they're being praised for belting out the national anthem
00:27:06.620
after winning gold and saying we love our country okay here it is
00:27:11.400
the rock is red glare the bombs bursting in air
00:27:18.540
came through the sky that our flag was still there
00:27:26.560
okay that's so sweet it's a little even sweeter if you watch it rather than just listen to it because
00:27:54.480
if you're listening to it you might just have heard a cacophony of voices there but it's really
00:27:58.880
sweet they look so happy and so excited about their victory and so happy to sing the national anthem
00:28:05.620
i cry when i sing the national anthem and these people seem really patriotic too just remember that
00:28:11.660
these people exist like i don't know if i can say anymore this is the majority of people in america
00:28:17.560
sadly but there's such a large contingency of us that still love what america was founded on
00:28:23.280
want to preserve those things care about those things are proud of those things are proud of so
00:28:28.900
much of what america has accomplished even where if we're disappointed um in a lot of where america
00:28:36.080
has gone i just thought that was such a sweet heartwarming moment and i want to share that with
00:28:40.180
you all um also i i wanted to this is totally different subject now now that we've kind of gone
00:28:46.600
past the stories that we really wanted to talk about i wanted to touch on a couple extra things that i
00:28:51.300
think we need to be talking about more that i am concerned that people are not discussing so i
00:28:59.280
wanted to give you a little light-hearted thing before we get into some disturbing things i don't
00:29:03.960
know if you guys saw but there was an explosion in fort worth this week on january 9th 21 people were
00:29:11.940
injured in an apparent explosion at a downtown hotel in fort worth texas on monday afternoon the fort
00:29:17.300
fire department spokesperson said the explosion appears to have been caused by some type of gas
00:29:22.080
leak but that was not confirmed as of tuesday evening don't you feel like we should be talking
00:29:27.320
about this more i mean there are so many people who have been hurt from this so many people in
00:29:32.740
critical condition in the hospital because because of an explosion in texas now i hope it's strange to
00:29:39.320
say but i hope it was from a gas leak but we don't know that yet it seems like this should be a bigger
00:29:44.780
topic of conversation especially as we're going into 2024 and there are so many unknowns so many
00:29:51.860
fears that a lot of people have namely because of the situation that's going on at our border right
00:29:58.420
now i don't know if you guys have been following this the insane infiltration that we are experiencing
00:30:04.640
right now at the border hundreds of thousands hundreds of thousands of people coming in and not just
00:30:11.520
coming in but being bussed to different locations across the country and actually in new york right
00:30:18.280
now a high school is about to be used to house migrants and the students that attend that high
00:30:23.380
school are going to have to go to virtual learning and so this uh seems like a uh very scary combination
00:30:32.300
of things going on here that we are in a very vulnerable position and that stories where something
00:30:40.440
just randomly happens like a a random disaster as it is very clear that the people in charge of our
00:30:47.140
country do not care about its sovereignty do not care about its borders do not care about who is coming
00:30:53.240
in from where what their motives are what their background is um it's just a very precarious situation
00:31:00.860
that we are in um and it seems like it seems like we should be doing more to hold our leaders
00:31:07.680
accountable when it comes to this now i'm not saying that those two things are connected in texas i'm not
00:31:13.560
saying that i have no idea i'm just saying that i think everyone is kind of on their toes on the edge of
00:31:20.940
their seat and not in a good way as every uh every sector that we are looking at of society seems
00:31:29.060
extremely tenuous um and so it's just a little it's just a little troubling
00:31:35.300
okay brie we're kind of all over the place today just a little bit just there's just a lot it's hard
00:31:52.800
to decide sometimes what to talk about when we've been off for several weeks and there's so many
00:31:56.900
different things that we want to cover um but i guess today one of the things that we want to
00:32:00.940
talk about is the moon landing because that's important that's important it's imminent and the
00:32:07.000
reason i want to talk about it is because there was an article in news nation saying that the u.s
00:32:12.480
has successfully launched the first moon landing mission in more than 50 years now you've probably
00:32:20.840
heard in um you know maybe recently or maybe you've heard this for a long time skepticism about whether
00:32:28.000
or not america really ever went to the moon this is not something that i have ever questioned in my
00:32:34.400
life but i do think that there are interesting points to raise was it just a pr push while we were
00:32:41.260
in the space race to say america is number one and how did the camera get out there how the camera get
00:32:48.400
out there as you know to it's kind of like the ultimate influencer you know those influencer who
00:32:55.820
influencers who like set up their camera and their ring light to show a night in the life of newborn
00:33:02.640
parents i cannot imagine anything that i would want to do less than that then set up a camera and have
00:33:09.180
people see oh my gosh that's crazy um but this is kind of like the ultimate of that happening i guess
00:33:16.340
when they went to the moon more than 50 years ago they put the camera out and they're like okay go
00:33:23.540
back in go back in and they went in and then they stepped onto the moon like they hadn't already been
00:33:31.500
out there and then they put our american flag on there and for some reason we have not been back in 50
00:33:39.320
years why that's kind of the thing that gets me i mean in the past year i've become skeptical about a
00:33:47.220
lot of things but i feel like this was one i remember like 10 years ago defending the moon landing
00:33:55.100
to one of my friends and now i'm kind of like okay they say that they destroyed the technology that
00:34:02.160
they had to go to the moon and we haven't been able to do it since i don't know yeah i don't know
00:34:09.680
you're saying we had that technology 50 years ago to go to the moon and like the 5g on my phone
00:34:18.680
barely works like if i go to the wrong like corner of the building i can no longer receive text messages
00:34:26.540
in the year of our lord 2024 and you're telling me 50 years ago we went to the moon and were able to
00:34:34.940
set up a camera on the moon and to get clear footage of us staking the american flag which some people
00:34:43.240
have pointed out it looks like the wind is blowing it up on the moon which i always thought this was so
00:34:51.600
kooky to even talk about yeah for sure yeah me too but my sister-in-law has raised some valid points
00:35:01.360
to me and i have started to think about it just question it just question and you know now i'm
00:35:08.420
thinking how silly it is for anyone to think that questioning it is bad right that questioning it is
00:35:14.320
dangerous oh yes we must accept all of the official answers and explanations from the government is that
00:35:20.680
your position that the government wouldn't lie to us no the government would never lie to us it would
00:35:25.160
never lie to us on maybe some of these things we're saying someone who's like really well informed
00:35:30.280
or a scientist or something is like oh there's an obvious answer to that and we don't know it or
00:35:35.580
something maybe but i just i'm willing to hear that stuff yeah me too some of this stuff just doesn't
00:35:41.700
make sense to me i guess also the tapes that were destroyed and then and then found again and
00:35:48.220
restored and now they look better i don't even know about that until you said it what are you
00:35:51.840
talking about apparently the original recordings were erased and reused like they ran out of tape
00:35:56.400
or something and um and then they restored them they like found them again and restored them and now
00:36:01.360
they look better than they did before apparently um so i don't know what that's about but seems a
00:36:07.960
little convenient i don't know yeah why would they keep up the lie now though why wouldn't they say
00:36:15.880
yeah we did that because then people wouldn't trust them right even more yeah why would anyone
00:36:22.340
can't admit to anything can't admit to anything or people are gonna lose confidence lose confidence
00:36:27.260
and the you know it's probably is covid and everything over the past few years that's gotten
00:36:32.100
people to start questioning things oh someone's gonna take this segment brie you know someone's
00:36:37.100
gonna take this segment and clip it and talk about how dangerous it is to question it i mean let's not
00:36:43.340
talk about dinosaurs oh no people get so angry people get so angry when you say oh you know what we don't
00:36:52.480
know what color scales pterodactyls have like we we probably don't i mean there's been i don't how many
00:37:00.880
dinosaurs have they found full fossils of it's very very few it's very few i think they've only found
00:37:09.020
if one i don't even know if they have a full t-rex like a full body of a t-rex but as we have talked
00:37:17.720
about several times if you look at the skeletons of a hippo if you look at the skeletons of a chicken
00:37:22.800
if you look at the skeletons of an owl like you could draw on that and come up with something that
00:37:30.000
looked like a dinosaur if because we don't know what the hair looked like if they had any we don't
00:37:38.580
know for we don't know color we don't know sounds i'm telling you some of this has been constructed
00:37:45.140
by a bunch of nerds who were like oh jurassic park that would be so cool man and you think that it's all
00:37:54.040
science-based because you've been trained not to question anything i'm just saying i don't think
00:37:59.640
that dinosaurs looked like the depictions that we have of them today there's no chance there's no
00:38:06.780
chance okay i've become i've become a hardliner on this there's no chance no there's no chance
00:38:14.320
that we know the colors of the scales no you're right there's no chance we know i guess there's a
00:38:20.620
chance maybe we guessed correctly yeah but you're right there's no way to like no there's there's
00:38:27.900
there's no way to know so i'm not even saying the dinosaurs didn't exist if you want to call them
00:38:33.640
that but i'm just saying they probably looked more similar to animals we have today than what people
00:38:43.840
want to believe and like people will hold on to dying i got i got like a five page typed letter
00:38:50.360
from someone sent to me about how just this is just so dangerous the dinosaur yes to question
00:38:59.040
what dinosaurs look like i'm gonna question it even harder now yeah that that makes me more
00:39:04.260
skeptical honestly why do you want me to believe it so badly yeah why does it matter to you how does
00:39:08.280
it affect you yeah oh people are gonna people are gonna have a heyday with this segment um you know
00:39:15.160
