Olivia Rodrigo has distributed Plan B pills at her recent concerts. Yikes. Also, cannibalism
00:00:10.260
making a comeback. And we've got an update on that from last week. Wow. And Dylan Mulvaney,
00:00:17.560
unfortunately, has a new music video out and it tells us exactly what he thinks about women.
00:00:24.100
We've got all this and much more on today's episode of Relatable.
00:00:30.000
Hey, guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Thursday. Hope you're having a great week. Okay,
00:00:43.640
as always, we've got a lot to talk about. A lot to talk about. We've had a lot of monologues this
00:00:48.220
week because there's always so much content to get through. And while I love my interviews
00:00:55.060
so much, sometimes we just have to dedicate several hours to getting through all of these
00:01:00.080
subjects. I always get that question. How do you have something to talk about every day? How do
00:01:05.300
you not run out of things to talk about? That is never, ever, ever the problem. The problem is
00:01:10.680
having enough time to talk about all the things that we want to discuss and everything that's
00:01:15.840
going on. So we've got a lot today. We'll try to get through it in under an hour. That's always my
00:01:21.320
goal. But before we get into it, let me just remind you of this beautiful, cute new merch that
00:01:26.380
we've got on the merch shop, AllieMerch.com. You're not enough, but Jesus is in a very springy design
00:01:34.540
and springy colors. We've got hats. We've got crew necks. We've got t-shirts. The t-shirts are comfort
00:01:39.520
colors. The sweatshirts are super comfortable. So go to AllieMerch.com. Also, just a reminder
00:01:45.440
that you can use my code Allie at blazetv.com slash Allie to get $30 off your subscription to
00:01:54.240
Blaze TV. We've got a debatable episode up right now, Catholic versus Protestant, a two-hour
00:02:00.080
really interesting conversation. But we've got a lot more coming down the pipeline. It's not all
00:02:05.320
debates. Some of it is going to be marriage conversations with people who have been married
00:02:09.840
for a long time. We're going to be talking about some touchy subjects like sleep training. We're also
00:02:15.080
going to be talking about things that we really can't talk about on YouTube because we'll just
00:02:19.560
get penalized and our videos will be taken down like vaccines and vaccine injuries and things like
00:02:25.580
that. And so you want to subscribe. It protects us from censorship to have an army of people that are
00:02:32.100
behind the paywall. That means we're not beholden to advertisers, even though all my advertisers are
00:02:38.260
great. But we're not beholden to YouTube or to any of these platforms that like to kick people like
00:02:47.120
me off because we say things that they don't like. So it helps out a lot if you subscribe at
00:02:51.600
blazetv.com slash Allie. And then you can use that promo code Allie for a discount. All right,
00:02:57.860
let's get into it. A lot of you were sending me this story over the past couple of days. It is
00:03:01.880
absolutely grotesque and silly. Olivia Rodrigo. She is a singer. I think she's popular with mostly
00:03:10.460
the Gen Z. I think she's probably in her early 20s and she sings a few cute songs. I know a couple of
00:03:19.160
them myself. They're very catchy. She is, I'm sure, a very talented person. She is able to attract
00:03:25.560
tens of thousands of young people to her concerts every tour. And she has been an outspoken advocate
00:03:33.820
for abortion, for killing children inside the womb. And she recently at a concert in Missouri
00:03:42.260
distributed Free Plan B, Free Plan B at her concert. If you don't know what Plan B is, it's also known as
00:03:50.740
the morning after pill. And women take it, can take it after having sex the night before, unprotected
00:03:59.660
sex. And it bills itself as a pill that can stop you from getting pregnant. But it really just depends
00:04:10.400
on what is going on in your body. It can also just make the womb inhospitable for a fertilized egg. So it
00:04:19.400
doesn't actually stop fertilization in most or in many cases rather, but it can make the uterus
00:04:28.920
so inhospitable for that already fertilized egg that that egg then dies. Of course, the woman wouldn't
00:04:35.760
even know that that happened. But that is also how it can work. And by the way, that is also what can
00:04:43.040
happen in hormonal birth control. There is an abortifacient characteristic both in Plan B and
00:04:51.640
in hormonal birth control, which is why for those of us who believe that life starts at conception at
00:04:58.480
the point of fertilization, these are very ethically morally questionable pills to take because of what it
00:05:07.920
can possibly do to life that is already created. Now, some people debate whether conception is really
00:05:17.220
fertilization when sperm meets egg or implantation when that fertilized egg actually implants into the
00:05:25.780
uterus when a woman would, after a few weeks, be able to get a positive pregnancy test because there
00:05:33.300
are fertilized eggs that don't implant and a woman would probably, she would never know that she
00:05:39.640
were pregnant. And so there is some debate there, but really I think that implantation is like another
00:05:46.600
arbitrary standard for when life actually has value. Anytime that we decide that after the point of
00:05:56.320
fertilization, that's when it really becomes a person. That's when it really has value. You get into
00:06:01.400
very arbitrary and slippery territory. And I didn't always know that. I didn't always believe that. My views
00:06:09.780
have changed over the years. Actually, I was probably kind of agnostic on that. I was open to the possibility that
00:06:16.400
maybe life starts at implantation, maybe life starts at fertilization. I didn't really know or care. But of course,
00:06:24.720
just like with anything, the more you think about it, the more questions you ask, you realize any point after that,
00:06:30.660
it just opens the door to saying, well, maybe it's not implantation, maybe it's sentience, maybe it's viability,
00:06:39.340
maybe it's whatever. And so I think the safest and most logically and morally consistent position is to say that
00:06:46.100
that human being is a human being from the point of fertilization and therefore is entitled to human rights,
00:06:51.660
which makes things like hormonal birth control and plan B problematic when you have that belief system.
00:06:58.600
Nevertheless, Olivia Rodrigo, surprise, surprise, does not share our belief system. This is according
00:07:05.600
to Variety. She has made good on her promise to expand awareness and access to reproductive health care.
00:07:11.980
Let me break that down since that's a euphemism. It is abortion has nothing to do actually with
00:07:18.400
reproduction. It has nothing to do with health care. This is the consequence, the result of
00:07:26.180
reproduction. You have a child, a human being, and you are killing him or her, but that's neither
00:07:32.460
reproduction nor health care. Inviting the organization right by you to distribute free emergency
00:07:38.740
contraceptives, condoms and information. And that's also another euphemism, emergency contraceptive,
00:07:44.280
because that's not really what's happening. Condoms and information about abortion to fans on her
00:07:49.140
guts world tour. Concert goers at her March 12th show in St. Louis were able to grab a package that
00:07:54.920
includes two boxes of Julie, an emergency contraceptive that helps prevent pregnancy when taken within 72
00:08:02.360
hours of unprotected sex. So again, talking about preventing implantation there, as well as cards with QR codes
00:08:10.680
linking to abortion access resources and the Missouri abortion fund. Fans also reported free condoms and
00:08:18.200
stickers being passed out. Yikes. Okay. Here is Olivia Rodrigo announcing that she would be handing out
00:08:29.060
these morbid party favors at her concert. And for the North American leg of the guts world tour, I'll be
00:08:35.880
partnering with the national network of abortion funds, um, to help those impacted by healthcare
00:08:42.240
barriers and getting the reproductive care they deserve to learn more about reproductive health
00:08:48.440
resources and how you can help visit abortion funds.org, or you can stop by the national network of
00:08:55.660
abortion funds table at your local guts world tour stop. See, that's how you know that we're talking
00:09:03.300
about such a grotesque and barbaric practice when they can't actually say what it is. The youth of
00:09:08.760
euphemisms is always an indication that truth is too harsh for people to hear, or the truth is too
00:09:17.980
unpersuasive, um, and not palatable enough to be able to distribute to the general public. And so that's
00:09:25.760
why they have to use euphemisms like abortion. Abortion is actually a euphemism when you think about it,
00:09:32.220
but reproductive health care, reproductive justice, access, equality, autonomy, choice. These are all
00:09:41.360
euphemisms to cover up what is objectively a very brutal and bloody practice. Uh, Missouri has banned
00:09:50.000
abortion except when the woman's life is at risk or her physical health is seriously at risk. And doctors
00:09:58.420
actually have to prove that to be able to sign off on an abortion. Um, this is not the first time that
00:10:06.180
Olivia Rodrigo has voiced her opinion to thousands and thousands of young girls about the importance,
00:10:13.140
she would say of abortion access. Here she is in June of 2022, after the Dobbs decision was released,
00:10:26.200
So if you didn't hear that, if you're just listening to the captions are on the screen for
00:10:43.800
YouTube, but if you're just listening to that, um, she said, our body shouldn't be in the hands
00:10:48.800
of politicians. I hope we can use our voices to blah, blah, blah, protect abortion. And so she is
00:10:55.740
a very influential young person, a very influential artist, of course has millions of followers on
00:11:02.040
Instagram. I'm sure Tik TOK as well. And she is attempting to shape the minds of her young,
00:11:10.080
very malleable, very impressionable audience to make it seem like abortion is not only okay,
00:11:16.360
but great. And of course, I mean, all of this is, um, all of this is pointing to the fact that she
00:11:24.860
is basically encouraging, not just premarital sex, of course, but teenagers having sex and
00:11:32.740
teenagers having unprotected sex. That's the message that you are relaying when you are passing
00:11:38.620
out plan B. They might say, well, we passed out condoms too. Is that in any way appropriate
00:11:44.400
for the young audience that she has? I mean, she has girls listening to her who are probably 12
00:11:49.600
and 13 years old. Now that's a parenting problem if we want to get into that. But think about even
00:11:57.340
Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. I wasn't allowed to listen to them when I was super young.
00:12:02.380
And I think for good reason, if you listen to some of their lyrics back in the early 2000s,
00:12:07.600
and you look at some of their album covers and what in the world they were wearing,
00:12:13.500
even they would have never done something like this. And this is a little bit different because
00:12:19.000
Olivia Rodrigo doesn't even look risque or seem really risque lyrics in the same way that Britney
00:12:27.500
Spears and Christina Aguilera did at times. That's part of this is that she kind of looks innocent.
00:12:33.220
She looks very girl next door. She's very cool. And I think that is part of the strategy here.
00:12:40.800
That's part of the marketing campaign that even sweet Olivia Rodrigo is telling her young audience
00:12:47.200
that abortion and plan B is all good, that it's so important to fight for this. I mean, the absolute
00:12:53.740
state of the United States that you can go to a concert, you can worship this woman, and you can glorify
00:13:02.820
child sacrifice. I mean, this is basically like a Malek concert. That's basically what's going on
00:13:08.800
here. She might as well have Malek on her stage and have everyone there bow down to it because that's
00:13:16.360
essentially what is going on. So parents, we just have to be so careful. I know it is like so hard
00:13:23.620
to be and look, I have young kids. And so I'm not saying that I know exactly what it's like to parent
00:13:30.160
a teenager or a preteen. But I can imagine, I mean, I was a teenager not that long ago when I am a mom.
00:13:37.840
So I can imagine that it's so difficult to continue being the parent that's like, no, you cannot do
00:13:44.200
this. We have this boundary. We have this rule. I have to protect you from this, what you listen to,
00:13:49.620
what you watch, how much time you spend on your phone, if you even have a phone, if you have access
00:13:53.280
to social media, the things that we can talk about, the things you wear, all of that. I mean,
00:13:58.540
that all falls within the realm of parental protection, rules and boundaries, parameters
00:14:05.680
that we put in place for the good of our children. And I know that progressives out there like to have
00:14:11.480
this fantasy that basically parents should just come alongside kids and be their cheerleader no matter
00:14:16.680
what. That's not what parenting is. That's not healthy parenting. That would not be creating
00:14:21.100
healthy kids. That would be creating very irresponsible adults. And so part of our job
00:14:28.520
as parents in not just disciplining, but discipling our children is helping them filter the things that
00:14:35.700
they are consuming. Now, of course, there's more and more trust that's granted the older kids get.
00:14:43.840
But these young women or these young girls rather, who are listening to this music and going
00:14:50.980
to these concerts with the consent and the celebration of their parents, their parents are doing
00:14:56.620
such a disservice to them. We cannot protect our children from everything. We cannot put them
00:15:03.140
in a bubble. We can't pretend like there's nothing going on in the world. But gosh, we are absolutely
00:15:10.420
failing if we are allowing this young little artist to influence how our children think about
00:15:18.620
abortion. What our children think about sex. We've got to do a better job of laying a better
00:15:25.600
foundation. I know it's hard. And your kids probably feel like the odd ones out maybe in
00:15:31.060
their communities or in their schools who don't listen to all the same things, who don't watch all
00:15:34.980
the same things, who don't have all the same things as their friends who have these basically secular
00:15:40.320
parents that just don't care what they do. But it's worth it. Man, it's worth it. I can tell you
00:15:46.200
as someone whose parents protected a lot of, you know, the things that I listened to. Now, honestly,
00:15:54.360
like I would say, this is what I would say. One, I'm thankful for that. My parents are going to think
00:15:59.480
that this is crazy that I'm saying this now. I actually think that there could have been even
00:16:04.840
more parameters around the things that I watched and the things that I read. I know it's crazy.
00:16:11.520
Teenagers today don't read nearly as much as we did back in the day because we didn't really have
00:16:15.840
social media when I was a teenager. But I think about like the trashy fiction that I was reading
00:16:20.900
like Twilight, but even worse than that when I was in high school. And I actually think that there
00:16:26.160
could have been some parameters around like what I was reading. So I'm telling you now as someone who
00:16:32.660
had, I would say, strict parents growing up that not only am I thankful for a lot of those things,
00:16:38.100
but I actually wish that there had been even more protection when it comes to what I was
00:16:43.140
consuming in my most impressionable years that really kind of shaped what I thought about
00:16:48.760
relationships and romance and set unrealistic expectations in a lot of ways. And so that's
00:16:56.640
part of our job, parents. So protect your kids from Olivia Rodrigo and the absolute degenerate
00:17:03.020
demonic filth that she is spewing at her concerts.
00:17:18.780
Okay. So speaking of human sacrifice, which is what abortion is, we've got a cannibalism update.
00:17:26.340
What am I talking about? Well, last week we discussed this article from new scientists that
00:17:33.000
claims we need a more subtle view of cannibalism. We need to be a little bit more nuanced about it.
00:17:38.540
We shouldn't have so much, feel so much stigma toward cannibalism because it's just a part of
00:17:44.820
some people's culture. It's just what some people do. And we put that in the context of Christianity.
00:17:49.840
And when we look at the spread of Christianity over the years, especially the boom of evangelism that
00:17:55.720
happened in the late 19th century, early 20th century, we see wherever Christians go, whatever
00:18:02.520
try, whatever country Christians go to, they put an end through the spreading of the gospel
00:18:08.200
to cannibalism, to human sacrifice, to child sacrifice. These are pagan practices, which have
00:18:14.580
been throughout history, very, very common in the non-Christian, non-Jewish world. And Christians
00:18:22.600
spread this radical message from the inception of the church that, whoa, whoa, whoa, all people are made
00:18:29.060
in the image of God. Therefore, they have innate, unique value. Therefore, murdering them is a sin.
00:18:36.320
And also, all people are equally dead in sin apart from Christ. All people can be made alive in Christ
00:18:45.420
by grace through faith. That radical message changed the world. It changed the world in pagan Greece and
00:18:55.180
Rome. It changed the world in every nation where Christianity has set foot. We've put an end to
00:19:03.520
child sacrifice, an end to human sacrifice, an end to cannibalism. We talked again last week about
00:19:11.760
what the Bible has to say about those things, why it's a sin, why God sees it as wrong and barbaric
00:19:17.140
and evil, and why it is completely incompatible with Christianity. Well, apparently, we, as a country,
00:19:25.640
as a journalist class, were just continuing down that path of trying to de-stigmatize cannibalism.
00:19:34.900
And now, it is part of a conversation about immigration because there is, once again, much
00:19:40.820
upheaval in Haiti right now, which is absolutely tragic. It is a beautiful country that has just
00:19:49.740
been wrecked nonstop by corruption, by gang violence, by murder. And it is all driven by a deep ancestral
00:20:01.960
belief in voodoo. Voodoo, which is a demonic practice of witchcraft, is very ingrained in Haitian
00:20:13.060
culture. There's a saying that I read in an article yesterday that I believe it's that they're 30%
00:20:21.500
Catholic and 70% Protestant or something like that, and then 100% voodoo. So basically, there are a lot
00:20:29.820
of people in Haiti that claim Christianity, different forms, but all of them, most of them, I would say,
00:20:38.180
I'm sure it's not true of all of them, but many of them still practice demonic witchcraft. They still
00:20:45.560
practice voodoo. And historically, one part of voodoo, one part of all forms of paganism, has been human
00:20:54.160
sacrifice, child sacrifice, and cannibalism. Now, I am not saying that most people in Haiti practice
00:21:00.980
cannibalism. I'm not saying that they are all cannibals, but it is a part of what is going on
00:21:06.260
there. It's part of why so many people are fleeing Haiti because of just the massive violence that's
00:21:13.140
going on there. And I can absolutely sympathize with the desire to flee that disaster, with the desire
00:21:20.400
to flee that corruption and the threat of violence and to try to find refuge. Absolutely. At the same
00:21:28.020
time, America has every single right to say, you know what, I think that we need to pump the brakes a
00:21:38.040
little bit when it comes to accepting masses and masses of people basically unvetted from a country
00:21:49.060
country that is so doused in violence, whose cultural practices are so different than America's.
00:21:59.560
Now, I am not saying that people cannot legally claim asylum. That is a legal process. Someone who
00:22:05.900
tries to just come over to Florida illegally, that's not claiming asylum. Someone who just tries
00:22:11.580
to cross the border illegally because what's going on in El Salvador or Haiti or Cuba is bad. That's not
00:22:18.260
claiming asylum. Those people are not refugees. There is a legal definition to being a refugee,
00:22:23.960
to being an asylum seeker. There's a legal process. There are ports of entry that you can go through
00:22:29.320
and try to do that legally. People who come here illegally are not refugees and they are not
00:22:34.520
asylum seekers. So they can claim asylum legally. That's fine. I understand that. I understand why they
00:22:41.260
would want to do that. There are other countries that they could go to as well, like the Dominican Republic,
00:22:46.320
but a lot of them. And by the way, you're supposed to, if you're going to claim asylum and you truly
00:22:52.120
need asylum, you're supposed to go to the closest country to where you can actually claim asylum. But
00:22:58.260
a lot of Haitians are coming here. And while I do think that they can claim asylum legally, go through
00:23:05.080
that process and everything, and I wish it was a more efficient process, we can debate that. The fact of
00:23:11.660
the matter is, any country, including the United States, absolutely has a right, and I would argue
00:23:17.760
a responsibility to say, but wait, who are these people? If they're coming from a country that is
00:23:26.340
doused in voodoo, and in a lot of cases, barbarism, are we so sure that we are not letting in people
00:23:37.320
who practice cannibalism? This has been the conversation online over the past couple of days
00:23:49.260
because of this surge in Haitian migration over the past few weeks. People have been sounding the alarm
00:23:59.200
about what could be accompanying this huge surge in migration. So just to give a little background,
00:24:08.280
Haiti has declared a state of emergency after gang violence and anarchy has broken out. In some ways,
00:24:18.260
this is nothing new, but they have experienced increased instability since July 2021 after the
00:24:25.420
assassination of their president. There's a gang leader, Jimmy Cherazir, I don't know how to pronounce
00:24:31.420
his last name. He has a former national police member in Haiti who was known as Barbecue. He seized
00:24:37.280
power and has vowed to continue fighting until Prime Minister Ariel Henry resigns. And so there's a lot of
00:24:45.160
political stuff going on there that is causing the recent surge in migration of Haitians. In a hearing the
00:24:53.260
other day, Representative Matt Gaetz expressed concern about these Haitians coming into Broward County,
00:25:03.060
coming into Southern Florida, and either staying there or spreading out into the rest of the country,
00:25:10.980
of course, illegally. And so he was asking, what is the plan? What's the plan to repatriate these people?
00:25:19.180
How are we going to take care of this? What are we going to do to stop this surge? Because this is
00:25:24.460
actually good for no one. So all of this is what caused the conversation about Haiti and cannibalism.
00:25:32.120
Ian Miles Chong tweeted, there are cannibal gangs in Haiti who abduct and eat people. We are not
00:25:38.200
supposed to talk about that because of cultural relativism. The entire country has now entered a
00:25:43.160
state of chaos after gangs attacked two prisons, setting many criminals free. 80% of the Haitian capital
00:25:48.360
of Port-au-Prince is now controlled by these gangs. And so other people started talking about,
00:25:54.600
oh my goodness, there are cannibal gangs. How do we know these people are not going to come in the
00:25:59.180
United States? Elon Musk retweeted Matt Walsh. Matt Walsh tweeted out his podcast episode and the
00:26:07.880
title was Haiti descends into chaos as our borders remain wide open. And then Elon Musk retweets that and
00:26:14.540
says cannibal gangs. Well, NBC is very mad about this, that people are talking about potential
00:26:20.760
cannibal gangs and that cannibalism is not something that we should worry about. And so
00:26:25.260
they released an article saying Elon Musk and right-wing influencers use quote-unquote cannibal
00:26:30.500
claims to smear Haitian migrants amid crisis. They say as Haiti faces an extreme political and societal
00:26:36.780
crisis amid a wave of intense violence, tech billionaire Elon Musk and right-wing pundits online are weaponizing
00:26:43.140
on verified claims of cannibalism coming out of the conflict to advance a political agenda
00:26:48.160
on migration. So basically saying that people are just lying about this. In some videos, the most
00:26:54.040
prominent examples being at least two years old, this is NBC admitting that their headline is basically
00:27:00.140
false, trying to imply that all these right-wing influencers are lying about cannibalism. They say in
00:27:07.140
some videos, most prominent examples being at least two years ago, alleged members of violent gangs in
00:27:12.680
Haiti appear to bite into human flesh. Experts said these videos are likely part of propaganda
00:27:18.120
campaigns designed to scare rivals and terrorize local Haitians rather than a reflection of common or
00:27:23.600
normalized behavior. Okay, that's better. One former armed group went by the name Cannibal Army. Okay,
00:27:31.960
so we are acknowledging that cannibalism is at least part of the gang violence that's going on there. And yes,
00:27:38.980
America has a right and responsibility to protect its own country, to protect its own citizens.
00:27:44.460
I know that the empathy shaming, the empathy bullying position is to say we have to have unending and
00:27:51.860
unfettered compassion for everyone, everywhere, all at once, all at the same level that all leads us to the
00:28:03.700
same conclusions of accepting absolutely anyone into the country who wants to be here. I understand that
00:28:10.900
is the position, but that is not a feasible position. That is not a wise position. That is not a responsible
00:28:16.480
position. That is not how God set up the world. God gave us borders. He gave us laws. He gave us
00:28:23.920
governments. These things are good. They are protective. They give us order, illegal immigration,
00:28:30.720
even just unfettered mass migration is disorder. It is chaos. It is anarchy. And while we can absolutely
00:28:39.340
have compassion for anyone who is trying to flee violence, absolutely. And while we can set up legal
00:28:46.040
means to accept a certain number of refugees and asylum seekers, we are not indebted to the rest of the
00:28:55.140
world. No country is indebted to the rest of the world. Zimbabwe, Kenya, Haiti, Brazil, every single
00:29:03.420
country has a right and responsibility to put the interest, to put the safety and the well-being
00:29:09.400
of their own people first. Every single country, not just America. It's not about bigotry. It's not
00:29:16.920
thinking that you're inherently better. It's not even about not wanting people that from a particular
00:29:23.200
country, although I think it's fine to make assessments about the culture of a country and the
00:29:29.340
moral practices of a country before you allow people in. Absolutely. But it's really just about
00:29:36.200
what your responsibility is as a government. Of course, our government currently under Joe Biden
00:29:40.340
does not believe that. They believe in selling out the American citizens for the sake of other
00:29:47.040
countries. But this is part of the result, the chaos, and the consequences of not having strong
00:30:00.040
borders and not having firm immigration law. And we've become so deluded by this cultural and moral
00:30:06.460
relativism that we're not even willing to say that maybe two cultures don't mesh. Maybe there are
00:30:14.340
cultures that are better than other cultures. Maybe there are practices that are better than
00:30:18.380
other practices. Maybe there is an actual objective morality and we have to consider all of these things
00:30:25.600
when we consider what is best for our country. We have to be able to balance what is responsible
00:30:31.920
with what is compassionate. We can't just be led by empathy. That actually leads us to make really
00:30:37.940
stupid decisions that risk the well-being of our own country. Also, we've just got a lot of rewriting
00:30:45.180
of history going on here when it comes to Haiti. We've got NBC saying that the Haitian Revolution was
00:30:51.300
a very successful revolution. It was the most successful slave result in modern history. Of course,
00:30:58.420
I guess you could say that it's successful in that it was a liberated country.
00:31:06.260
I'm not justifying everything that the French colonialists did by any means, but I don't think
00:31:13.880
that anyone could look at Haiti and say it's a success. It has been a place of oppression for its
00:31:19.480
own people. It has been a place of corruption and upheaval and chaos since that so-called liberation,
00:31:26.840
since that revolution. And it's been destabilizing not just for the people that live there, but for the
00:31:33.820
world. And so we're all just supposed to pretend that everything is relative, that everything is
00:31:38.860
fine, and that we can just have this big melting pot and that there are no real countries and no
00:31:45.300
real borders and no real privileges to being a citizen versus a non-citizen. But that is a recipe
00:31:53.020
for violence and disaster. So we can pray for the people in Haiti. We can pray for a better government.
00:31:59.480
Pray for better leaders. We can pray for an end to the violence and corruption. Again,
00:32:04.780
we could advocate for legal means to seek asylum and to claim refugee status without saying, yeah,
00:32:10.800
we should just let everyone in who wants to come here because things are bad other places.
00:32:15.580
That is just not a sustainable, logical, or responsible position to take. But this is what happens when we are
00:32:24.320
kind of into neo-paganism in post-Christianity. We start to get articles saying, well, maybe we should
00:32:31.820
just accept cannibalism. Maybe it's just an innocuous part of people's culture. Maybe everything
00:32:37.880
is just the same. Nothing is better than anything else. And the only sin is saying that there's sin.
00:32:44.800
That's what happens. And we will see when Christianity leaves, all the things that we took for granted,
00:32:49.620
all the rights, all the protections, all of the assumptions that we held because of Christianity,
00:32:55.060
those will also go out the window. And we will see. We will see how much harm awaits.
00:33:02.980
Okay. I want to talk about this story and I'm not going to play the videos that have been
00:33:22.160
circulating on Twitter because they're too disturbing, but I just want to draw something
00:33:27.360
out. I just want to give you my analysis of this because there's a few things I think that we can
00:33:32.840
learn. So I hate bullies. I have always hated bullies, bullies of all kinds, people who take
00:33:39.120
advantage of someone's vulnerability, someone who takes advantage of someone's disability,
00:33:45.020
someone who picks on someone that's not their own size, someone who is taking advantage of someone's
00:33:50.700
weakness. I absolutely hate bullies. Honestly, if I didn't have the perspective that I do of the world,
00:33:58.620
if I was not a Christian, I would probably be a liberal. Actually, that's 100% true. I think if I
00:34:05.360
were not a Christian and I didn't have the Bible as my guide, just feelings based, I think I would be a
00:34:11.180
liberal because I would have this very simplistic view of the world as oppressed versus oppressor.
00:34:17.780
And I would think that I was on the side of the underdog by saying that I'm against these big
00:34:23.400
corporations or I'm against the patriarchy or I'm against these big systems and I'm for the underdog.
00:34:30.140
I would probably be able to delude myself into thinking that that's what liberalism or progressivism
00:34:35.620
is if I were someone who just followed my feelings because I do have I have big feelings and I feel
00:34:42.280
things very deeply and I am very swayed by people's stories and by their testimonies as as most people
00:34:51.020
are, but I think as especially women are. And so I hate bullies and I think I could see myself
00:34:58.600
thinking that being a progressive is being like anti-bully. But thankfully, the grace of God,
00:35:05.200
the grace of God shows us that the progressive mindset of those things is simply not based on
00:35:12.500
actual truth. So whenever I see stories or see videos of bullying, I just I cannot take it. I got to
00:35:20.700
log out of Twitter for several days because I just can't take stories of vulnerable people being
00:35:27.280
bullied. So even though that next Benedict story from a couple weeks ago where the young girl who
00:35:34.340
identified as non-binary where she died after she was bullied, I mean, that story broke my heart,
00:35:41.660
even though it turned into this whole like trans activism narrative, it still broke my heart that
00:35:48.700
this person supposedly was bullied. Now details have come out. We not we're not even sure that that's
00:35:53.760
true. But it broke my heart because I hate seeing kids bullied. I hate bullying. I mean, that's a sin
00:36:01.960
problem, but it's also really a parenting problem. This permissive parenting that Abigail Schreier has
00:36:07.720
talked about has made kids less, less understanding of other people, actually less inclusive, less tolerant,
00:36:17.460
which is interesting. After years of SEL and years of empathy training of young people, I actually
00:36:23.680
think that they are more self-centered and even more aggressive than ever before because kids actually
00:36:28.820
need direction, not just permission. And so I think that that's part of what's going on here. Also,
00:36:35.800
just bullying just speaks to the degeneration of our society. So here are a few examples that I've seen
00:36:43.660
circulate over the past over the past couple of weeks. There is this awful story that has been
00:36:51.880
going around of this young woman named Kaylee, this young girl. She was attacked by a mob of students
00:36:59.860
in Missouri. She is currently, as far as I know, she is currently still in the hospital in critical
00:37:05.740
condition. She's reportedly in a coma. She has brain swelling. She's fighting for her life. I could not get
00:37:11.520
through the whole video. I am not going to play the video for you, but this young, thin, little,
00:37:18.180
defenseless girl, she is having her head slammed into the concrete by a much bigger student, much
00:37:25.700
bigger teenage girl. And I'm actually shocked that she has not already died. According to the Daily Mail,
00:37:33.960
she was a 15-year-old female high school student. We don't know what started this. We don't know why
00:37:39.360
this happened. It happened at Hazelwood East High School last Friday about 2.30. There's been a GoFundMe
00:37:46.080
that's been started for her because this is just absolutely awful, grotesque stuff. And then I saw
00:37:52.060
this other video. Both of these, I think, were originally stories that were broken by libs of TikTok.
00:37:59.820
A seven-year-old little boy was brutally attacked after being bullied by an older student on the school
00:38:06.620
bus. I have a lot to say about that. First of all, a seven-year-old should never be on a school bus.
00:38:11.920
Maybe that was fine 20 years ago. That's not fine today. Oh my gosh. Also, young students should
00:38:19.160
never share a bus with older students. That's also a recipe for disaster. Also, where are the adults in
00:38:25.980
this? Also, what are the parents doing of these insane bullying stories? So these stories, however,
00:38:33.080
have not become national news. They're awful. They're on video. We see exactly what's happened.
00:38:39.720
There is nothing that could have provoked this kind of violence. And yet, I have not seen,
00:38:47.160
at least right now, I've not seen them picked up by NBC. I have not seen them picked up by CNN.
00:38:54.440
This hasn't become a national trending story the way that Next Benedict's story have. And why is that?
00:39:01.380
It is because these stories don't go with the narrative. Because in these stories, they are
00:39:08.380
white victims and they happen to be black perpetrators. And unfortunately, I see stories
00:39:15.920
like this every week that never become national news. And I honestly, it's so hard for me to even
00:39:23.660
watch these videos and be on social media at all with this. But I see these kinds of stories come up
00:39:31.820
and I never see them go viral. I never see them become a national conversation. Why is that?
00:39:41.740
Because, of course, we are supposed to believe that the white person is always on the side of the
00:39:47.680
oppressor. And that the black or brown person is always on the side of the oppressed. Now,
00:39:52.540
I'm not saying because I don't know if this is a trend. I'm not saying, oh my gosh, this is a systemic
00:39:59.360
problem where white kids are routinely being beat up by black kids. I don't know if that is a pattern
00:40:06.620
that is continually happening. I know that I see it a lot. And if I saw if there were stories or videos
00:40:12.680
of the races reversed, I know I would know about it. Because you know that that's going to become
00:40:18.620
national news. You know that that is going to go viral. You know that every woke evangelical
00:40:26.100
influencer that you follow is going to be posting about it. If the races are reversed, we would have
00:40:31.140
a whole conversation about how racism is still so prevalent in our society today that black and brown
00:40:37.820
kids are still oppressed by these white privileged kids. But we're not having those conversations about
00:40:44.220
those kinds of videos and stories because we don't see them. And I think the fact that we don't see
00:40:50.140
them means that they are probably not happening at a very high rate. Because it would be very difficult
00:40:55.320
for a story like that to not catch the attention of activists, of Attorney Crump, of Al Sharpton,
00:41:04.400
and everyone in the media who is completely invested in this narrative that black and
00:41:10.960
brown people in this country are oppressed and that white people are privileged and on the side
00:41:16.060
of the oppressor. That we have systemic pervasive racism against black and brown people in this
00:41:21.020
country and that they are constantly victimized by it on a daily basis, which is not true by any
00:41:29.120
objective metric whatsoever. And yet when something like this happens, we're not even supposed to talk
00:41:35.820
about it. It can't become a conversation because, oh, maybe it's just a one-off. No, you just don't
00:41:41.680
care because it's a white kid being beat up. I think we should care when anyone is beat up, no matter what
00:41:47.200
their color is. But I am especially incensed that stories like this do not get the attention that they
00:41:53.680
deserve because the victim is white. That's wrong. That's partiality. That's sinful. Or we should just
00:42:04.300
be treating all of these stories as local stories, no matter who is the perpetrator, no matter who is
00:42:10.720
the victim. They either all need to be national stories or they all need to be local stories. But
00:42:15.700
how the mainstream sees it is that if it's a black victim, that it has to become a national story. If
00:42:20.500
it's a white victim, it can just be a local story, just a one-off. That's crazy. That's sinful. And
00:42:26.840
that's wicked. I mean, these young kids, seven-year-old boy, 15-year-old girl fighting for
00:42:32.840
their lives. And these kids that are beating up on them who happen to be black, they're so much bigger
00:42:38.940
than them, just hitting them as hard as humanly possible. Again, I think this is probably the fourth
00:42:43.980
story that I've seen in the past two weeks with a similar type thing, always fighting in the same way,
00:42:49.460
hitting their head as hard as possible, slamming their head into the concrete, slamming their head
00:42:54.000
into the floor. Always a few against one. The adults doing nothing. Someone filming it. Someone
00:43:01.300
laughing. Again, I don't know if this is a pattern as far as the races are concerned, but I know that
00:43:11.880
it is something that's happening that not enough people are willing to pay attention to because it's
00:43:17.300
really uncomfortable. And you do have to wonder, you have to wonder if all the constant anti-white
00:43:23.100
rhetoric that is so insanely pervasive in society today, if that has something to do with it. If
00:43:31.780
these kids know that there's not going to be consequences for it because of their race and
00:43:37.740
because of the race of the victim, then they're probably more likely to do it. So are the DEICRT
00:43:46.580
policies that have been put in place that basically say, oh, we can't discipline because it disproportionately
00:43:53.620
affects one race of students. If that has something to do with this, if the constant talk about white
00:44:01.720
oppression and constant talk about white privilege and black and brown people being oppressed,
00:44:07.840
if that has an effect on the mentality of these students and has worked to justify the treatment
00:44:17.400
of the mistreatment of white students. I don't know. I mean, I think it's worth asking.
00:44:22.840
But it's interesting that the next Benedict story was used to slam people like libs of TikTok, even
00:44:31.800
though she had nothing to do with it. And even though this next Benedict girl, she was not actually
00:44:36.920
killed by the bullies. We have no idea if that had to do with anything to do with her identity. It's
00:44:42.180
actually come out now that she may have killed herself. She may have died by suicide, which is
00:44:48.240
absolutely tragic. But that, for some reason, was put on the shoulders of libs of TikTok, even though
00:44:54.360
she had no connection to it whatsoever, but were not allowed to connect the anti-white rhetoric to
00:44:59.700
the targeted bullying of white students by black and brown students. That doesn't make any sense.
00:45:05.340
I'm just saying it should be the same kind of analysis across the board. I'm just saying that we
00:45:10.020
should be equal in our measures. And I think we need to be very careful about the kind of vitriolic
00:45:16.920
rhetoric that we use towards any group of people, including white people. I know that this crazy
00:45:23.060
equation is like prejudice plus power is what racism is. And so because black people don't have power,
00:45:29.880
they can't be racist, which is just ridiculous. It's an arbitrary definition. The fact of the matter
00:45:35.160
is you can be hateful. You can hate. And God measures it the same. I promise that God doesn't say,
00:45:43.400
well, that person might be hateful and violent, but they have a higher melanin count. And so
00:45:48.960
they don't have power. It's not prejudice plus power. So that doesn't really count as the racism
00:45:54.320
that I hate. Of course not. God is impartial and he hates partiality. As we read over and over again
00:46:00.160
in scripture, he cares just as much about the lives of white people as he does about black people.
00:46:05.420
You know that? I know that might blow your mind. I just want to make sure that you actually live that
00:46:10.620
way. And that you actually think that way. And that the way that you respond to news stories
00:46:15.780
reflects that knowledge. Okay? Because it seems that that type of partiality within the Christian
00:46:23.380
world has been acceptable. That our definitions of justice, our definitions of equality, our definitions
00:46:29.840
of right and wrong have actually been colored by partiality against the white evangelical and the
00:46:37.080
white oppressor due to a completely just ignorant and erroneous understanding of history and a
00:46:45.460
completely factless understanding of the current day problems that are going on. The fact of the
00:46:52.700
matter is bullying is always wrong. Hatred is always wrong. And I'm telling you, it's not going to go
00:47:00.460
in a direction that is healthy for the country, that is safe for the country if we are continually
00:47:10.560
castigating and categorizing all white children in this same bucket of oppressor. That's not going to
00:47:20.840
head us in a good direction as far as so-called racial reconciliation and racial peace goes. I think we can
00:47:29.940
see that that's already making things a lot worse. So unequal weights and measures are an abomination.
00:47:37.100
And we just have to make sure that how we talk about things is reflective of that reality, especially
00:47:45.100
when it comes to the issue of race and ethnicity, crimes, justice in this country. All right, evangelicals?
00:47:53.620
All right, let's remember that. And shame on you, all you pastors who have talked about things like
00:47:58.480
white privilege and the white oppressor. You are a part of this problem. You have made things worse.
00:48:17.280
Okay, I don't want to talk about this. I don't want to talk about him. But I feel that I have to.
00:48:24.340
I don't know. On the one hand, I'm like, should I? Okay, I'm just going to talk about it for a little bit.
00:48:31.620
It is Dylan Mulvaney. We haven't uttered his name in a while, actually, on here, because I understand
00:48:37.500
the position of, like, why even give him more attention? He's obviously seeking attention.
00:48:42.860
His PR and marketing team obviously want him to be talked about because then he's valorized.
00:48:49.220
And I understand that. But at the same time, he is such a symbol of the depth of depravity of
00:48:55.880
the transgender revolution that I think it's important for us to just check in every now,
00:49:03.620
every now and then. Now, I still have not solved this mystery how sometime last year,
00:49:12.500
he not only I've never interacted with him, and I've talked about him a few times, but that's it.
00:49:18.140
So he blocked me. He blocked producer Brie. He also blocked our social media person at the time.
00:49:26.800
And it was so weird because Brie had not been on the show at that point. Our social media girl had
00:49:34.800
not been on the show. Their identities were not public. They didn't have anything in their private
00:49:40.580
profiles. They didn't have anything on their profile saying that they work for Blaze or work for Relatable.
00:49:45.960
Their handles aren't even their full name. So somehow, I think it's the back end of Instagram
00:49:55.280
somehow helped Dylan Mulvaney figure out who exactly is working on my show and blocked them. Isn't that
00:50:04.560
wild? So he's got a lot behind him. And now he has become a pop star. He has a new video
00:50:12.940
called Days of Girlhood. Remember what I said yesterday? Any grown man that is calling him a
00:50:17.480
girl is sus to the nth degree. And also, he just recently did this comedy bit where he was like,
00:50:23.840
oh, conservative women are sad that their kids are calling me mother in my Instagram comments. Okay,
00:50:29.840
if you're a grown man who wants to be called mother by children, you have serious issues. That's like
00:50:35.220
all the red flags, every single red flag raised. So but he's put out this music video. And I'm sorry
00:50:41.200
to curse your ears and eyes. But here is thought three.
00:50:44.840
Mom brought me into the world. Sister taught me how to girl. My friend coached me how to text. The boy
00:50:50.880
joy that I'm dating. Girls who helped show me the way. They're why I'm in it, girl, today.
00:50:59.600
These are the days. These are the days. These are the days of girlhood. These are the days. These
00:51:08.420
are the days. These are the days of girlhood. Oh, my goodness. I'm not gonna lie. The beat kind
00:51:22.440
of slaps. Like I kind of have it stuck in my head. A little bit. Okay, so let me say a couple nice
00:51:32.160
things. One, the beat slaps. Two, he actually has IRL, a beautiful voice. You know, he was on
00:51:40.500
Broadway. He's an actor. That's actually part of why he has been able to don this character of being a
00:51:44.860
girl so easily and seamlessly. And that's how he accomplishes the like, doe-eyed, poor me
00:51:52.120
persona. But sometimes you see it. Sometimes it comes through and you're like, oh, oh, scary.
00:51:59.060
Um, so I will say that like he actually has a beautiful voice behind all this auto-tune and
00:52:05.020
the computerization of his voice. He has a beautiful, clear Broadway voice. This does a
00:52:11.840
huge disservice to that. But the reason why I want to talk about this is not to like promote
00:52:16.180
him, but I just want to talk about what he thinks and what I think a lot of men who identify as the
00:52:21.000
opposite sex, what they actually think womanhood is. So he's saying these are the days of girlhood.
00:52:26.220
And as you know, he did the whole 365 days of girlhood thing where he went on TikTok and he's
00:52:33.040
had like facial feminization surgery and all of that. So here's what being a girl means to him.
00:52:40.660
And by the way, like also you can just hear in the tune and in the music video that this is supposed
00:52:46.360
to appeal to young girls. So he says Monday, can't get out of bed. Tuesday morning, pick up meds.
00:52:51.920
And then they opened a medicine cabinet and you got a bunch of prescriptions. Cursed. Cursed. Oh my
00:52:57.440
gosh. That's so awful. Um, Wednesday retail therapy, cash or credit. I say yes. Thursday had a walk of
00:53:05.020
shame. Okay. So being a woman is being a hoe to him and being mentally unwell. So check and check.
00:53:13.880
Um, okay. Didn't even know his name. Weekends are for kissing friends. Friday night, all over spends.
00:53:24.420
Okay. Saturday, we flirt for drinks, playing wingman to our twinks. Sunday, the twilight soundtrack,
00:53:32.980
use my breakdown in the bath. Okay. So mentally unstable, financially irresponsible hoe bags.
00:53:41.700
That's what Dylan Mulvaney thinks that it means to be a woman. Uh, mom brought me into the world.
00:53:49.840
She said, or he said, sister taught me how to girl. Best friend coached me how to text the boy toy that
00:53:57.240
I'm dating next. Girls do all show me the way there. Why I am a girl today. So that's what Dylan
00:54:06.300
Mulvaney, someone who I think probably hates women and thinks of women, uh, just in very honestly
00:54:13.860
misogynistic terms. Uh, that's what he thinks of femininity. That's what he thinks it means to be
00:54:19.240
a female. Of course, he will never ever be a woman. He will never ever be a girl. He has not experienced
00:54:26.480
girlhood. He do. He does not know what it's like to grow up as a girl. He grew up as a boy and he grew
00:54:33.680
into a man and he still is a man and God made him that way. And that is good. Uh, he is made in
00:54:40.700
the image of God. He matters. He has value. And I want him to know that about himself. I'm also very
00:54:46.560
concerned that he very much looks like he has an eating disorder. And I don't say that lightly.
00:54:52.800
I don't know if I've ever even said that, but that is something that is on display that I'm genuinely
00:54:58.240
concerned about. I'm concerned about what's going on behind the scenes. It's obvious. Look,
00:55:02.760
it's obvious in this music video that he is very masculine and that he is a man. And that is
00:55:09.700
something to embrace that can never change. No matter what surgeries you go through, no matter
00:55:15.580
what hormones you have, you will always be a man. And that is good. It is good to be a man. I know
00:55:21.500
society sometimes tells us differently, um, but it is good to be a man. And so I just, I want him to
00:55:28.740
embrace that about himself, to embrace the fact that he has been made in the image of God,
00:55:33.820
to embrace the fact that Christ died for him, that he can be made a life alive by grace through faith
00:55:39.120
in Christ. Like that gospel is accessible to him. He matters just as much as everyone else. And
00:55:45.400
him not only flaunting this degeneracy himself as a way to make himself feel better about the choices
00:55:51.380
that he's made, but also promoting that to other people, to children. Um, that is a dark, dark sign
00:56:00.800
of the times. And I just pray for God's mercy. I really, really do. So let's keep praying for
00:56:06.680
Mr. Nill and Mulvaney. Um, okay. Let me just tell you about our last thing. And then we will head out
00:56:12.420
of here for the week and be back here on Monday. Um, okay. Blaze Originals. They've got their third
00:56:18.200
installment in the Blaze Originals series available only to Blaze TV subscribers, Texas versus the feds,
00:56:25.540
how the elites are using the border crisis against us. So you might remember that there was like a
00:56:31.260
border standoff a few weeks ago, and we didn't know what was happening with that. Basically, Texas
00:56:37.560
was like, um, no, we are not taking this razor wire down. And we thought it would be a bigger deal,
00:56:43.300
but we didn't really hear about it. If you want to know what really went on there,
00:56:47.240
what was going on, then you have to watch this. So if you go to blazeoriginals.com,
00:56:52.820

00:57:05.060
controversial episode. Um, that's all we got for this week. We will be back here on Monday.
