I believe the biggest issue facing America today is the easiest one.
00:00:11.280
And that is stand up for children, stand up for life.
00:00:18.760
You know, we can argue about first term abortion, whether there's exceptions for rape or incest.
00:00:25.680
And that's really where I think people are moving.
00:00:30.140
But our government and the extreme left is moving now into a position of we can kill babies after they're born.
00:00:43.040
And if we can't get this one right, we don't deserve to be a nation under God anymore.
00:00:52.400
But there are individuals that are picking up their own their own water.
00:00:59.200
They're they're they're carrying water for so many people right now trying to wake people up.
00:01:06.940
I'm going to share an amazing story you have never heard about a hero of a man who's standing up for life.
00:01:20.740
Danny Woods is an Emmy Award winning director of photography.
00:01:26.340
He has he's made several films all over and you've seen them everywhere.
00:01:36.040
And he has he has traveled to more than 17 different countries shooting documentary films.
00:01:41.580
But he has met somebody and he made a film about a guy that the film is called Grave Hands.
00:01:50.600
And I don't want to explain any more than just that.
00:01:54.340
I want Daniel to talk about how he came across this guy and how game changing this man is.
00:02:27.060
I saw a Facebook story about him about two years ago.
00:02:34.760
And it was I think it was hefty dot com or something like that.
00:02:50.560
I checked out some other sources and it seemed to be real.
00:02:56.360
And so I I waited about a month or so just kind of whether or not I should do something
00:03:01.160
about it, make a film about it and ask some people around.
00:03:04.300
And and, you know, turned out we two years later, almost two and a half, we made the film.
00:03:12.580
Now, he is a guy who he runs an orphanage that cares for little kids and and he also cares
00:03:33.160
I mean, in the in in Asia, generally speaking, the children are not as valued as they are here
00:03:47.880
And it's I mean, even harder for over there is because there's no there's nothing, you
00:03:52.520
know, a girl is pregnant and maybe she's disowned from the family or whatever.
00:04:00.280
And a lot of times she doesn't even want to have an abortion, but she's kind of forced
00:04:07.540
It's it's it's kind of our culture, maybe 70 years ago, where if you had a baby and you
00:04:18.120
OK, so he has the orphanage, but then he does something else.
00:04:23.800
So he he goes to local hospitals and he collects the bodies of aborted babies and puts them
00:04:37.740
And then he gives them a proper burial and a grave.
00:04:44.220
First of all, I mean, this couldn't happen in the United States.
00:04:50.020
How did he I mean, how did the hospitals react to this guy?
00:04:54.760
At first, they were kind of it's kind of, you know, hush, hush.
00:05:01.480
Honestly, he didn't really go into details about that.
00:05:06.780
We don't want to we didn't want to get him in trouble and, you know, push it.
00:05:24.400
And oh, my God, I think that's I think that's a very low number.
00:05:41.280
I had a good year of production and I figured it would be a good time to to shoot a documentary.
00:05:49.500
I mean, did did anybody did it cross your mind that a documentary about a guy in Vietnam
00:05:55.780
burying fetuses would not be on anybody's rush out and see it list?
00:06:15.660
I just it hit me like I just can't really describe it.
00:06:18.240
It's something that nobody has I've seen before done.
00:06:25.320
And it's just a topic that's obviously hot right now.
00:06:28.000
So and it's not but it's going to be this is not you wouldn't describe.
00:06:41.380
We've just followed this guy and we just see him serve.
00:06:52.720
And in each child that he buries, you know, he said, I feel like they're my own children.
00:06:58.980
And so you could just see the love and, you know, at the same time, the pain.
00:07:09.080
I'm fascinated, Daniel, on this guy, because, you know, we we're pro-life here.
00:07:14.820
But I can tell you that I would estimate I've buried approximately zero fetuses in my life.
00:07:33.920
But I mean, a lot of people really believe in it and they don't go to these these lengths.
00:07:39.060
He just I just feel like he emulated Christ, you know, and that's all I could say about that.
00:07:48.520
I just, you know, he he feels for even the smallest of people.
00:08:03.280
I wasn't sure how to, you know, what to expect.
00:08:05.960
A lot of times, you know, you go overseas and you meet somebody and they're completely different
00:08:14.100
We had this little room where he he did his little ceremonies and stuff and, you know,
00:08:17.580
you took off your shoes, you know, he didn't ask us to, but you just felt like you needed
00:08:30.760
Uh, uh, it's going to be released probably, we're trying to hit it this fall.
00:08:35.600
Uh, we're going to do the film festival circuits, uh, and then, uh, hopefully Netflix and Amazon
00:08:55.820
And then, uh, we, our Facebook handle on Twitter is, uh, gravehandsfilm.
00:09:00.660
Um, just read the story that, you know, on the website goes a little bit deeper and then
00:09:04.740
what we covered today, but, uh, yeah, I think you'll, you'll really enjoy it and it needs
00:09:09.960
The name of the movie that he's working on now is gravehands.
00:09:14.280
And as he said, you can follow him at gravehandsfilm.com or gravehands.com.
00:09:25.920
There is something happening right now with life.
00:09:29.760
And, uh, I think all of our lives, uh, as a nation really kind of hang in the balance
00:09:36.020
on the, which way we go with, uh, life on this.
00:09:39.460
And, uh, I encourage you to spread the word on, uh, Daniel Woods, new film, gravehands.
00:10:03.500
Think that it is the difference between left and right.
00:10:09.620
We're aborting children and killing children, uh, on the left.
00:10:13.580
And then also, we're not having kids because it's too frightening to have kids.
00:10:22.080
Uh, people don't have kids because of climate change.
00:10:26.580
Scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very difficult.
00:10:31.120
And it does lead, I think, young people to have a legitimate question.
00:10:37.680
You know, should, is it okay to still have children?
00:10:42.240
And I mean, not just financially because people are graduating with 20, 30, $100,000 worth of student loan debt.
00:10:51.620
And so they can't even afford to have kids in a house.
00:10:56.180
But also just this basic moral question, like, what do we do?
00:11:00.340
And, and even if you don't have kids, there are still children here in the world.
00:11:05.820
And we have a moral obligation to them and to leave a better world for them.
00:11:12.420
Um, we also will find that our life is meaningless without children, generally speaking.
00:11:20.680
Well, yeah, you, I mean, you learn a whole different, uh, layer of life when you get to that point.
00:11:25.880
Um, and the idea that you wouldn't have kids because you believe their life would be difficult
00:11:30.880
because of what is so far been a 0.9 degree temperature rise over a century.
00:11:35.740
Isn't, it's an odd choice, I would say, but I feel like it's more consistent with other values here.
00:11:42.780
It's not, it's not about the 0.9 degrees Celsius temperature change.
00:11:48.280
If it were, you know, things like nuclear power would be embraced by people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
00:11:55.060
We, I mean, you can, everyone can have a vision of doom for the future.
00:12:00.280
You know, uh, everybody has something where they're scared of and they think in the future things could get worse.
00:12:05.140
But look at where all of these things have led us so far.
00:12:08.240
You know, the temperature, the sea level has risen about the same over the past couple hundred years
00:12:15.580
Would you look back at the history of the past couple of hundred years?
00:12:18.880
At what point, what page do you need to get to in that book to get to sea level rise?
00:12:24.300
You get to 12 inches of sea level rise at what time?
00:12:27.440
You'd be, you'd be reading for longer than your entire life before anyone mentioned a sea level raise
00:12:32.860
We've seen an entire, you know, planet go from zero civilization in some ways to, uh, the life that we live today.
00:12:42.520
And all of us would look at our lives and say, well, the advantages that have happened over the past 20 or 30 years,
00:12:48.620
whether you can look at an income stat and say it hasn't gone up as much as you want.
00:12:54.180
We've been able to, uh, to purchase more, to enjoy life more, you know, the, you know,
00:13:00.720
it's not the same for every case, obviously, but when you're talking about it over the course of an entire country,
00:13:05.080
we've had amazing improvements and they know what, the same thing is going to happen, right?
00:13:10.420
You know, I mean, there are major issues that we have to get ahold of.
00:13:13.480
You've talked about AI quite a bit and, and that's a, that's a big one.
00:13:16.220
There's a lot of things to be concerned with in the future.
00:13:19.320
I think one of them is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
00:13:25.260
Her vision of the world, which is socialism and remind you that Marx defined socialism as
00:13:32.780
essentially a pit stop on the way to communism.
00:13:36.740
It's, it's, it's a midpoint from cap between capitalism and communism.
00:13:40.560
And then, and by the way, Lenin and Stalin both said, we're not communists.
00:13:52.240
I don't care if the people decide the majority decides we're going to enslave each other.
00:14:02.680
It just, you don't, you cannot vote to enslave the rest of the population.
00:14:18.660
It amazes me that we are looking now at a group of people that believe they know better.
00:14:25.480
And so they will force people to live the way they want them to live.
00:14:29.380
And they will silence those who disagree with them.
00:14:32.400
And they think all of that is fine here in America.
00:14:35.400
And yet the same, on the same exact road, just at another end of the spectrum, just a little farther into the, into the violet side of the spectrum.
00:14:52.500
They believe the world has to be run by people who believe in the Mohammed and the Allah that they believe in and follow their rules.
00:15:18.200
Yesterday, it was released, by the way, that SAS, that special forces over in England, they went into the tunnels where they're still fighting ISIS.
00:15:28.140
Whatever anybody says that ISIS is done, they're not done.
00:15:33.140
So SAS, special forces from, from England went into the tunnels.
00:15:37.480
They finally killed a lot of them, but not before they killed 50 women, 50 sex slaves.
00:15:47.120
They chopped their heads off, left the bodies in the tunnels for SAS to find.
00:15:52.280
And then they put all their heads in a dumpster.
00:16:00.000
And, and animals are created like this and encouraged when you allow anyone, me, them, AOC, anyone to say it's my way or the highway.
00:16:15.600
Yeah, and I think you look at Ocasio-Cortez, and we would have, I think, dismissed a figure like her in the past because of, you know, socialism.
00:16:24.460
You know, America's never going to be a socialist country.
00:16:26.420
It's what Trump said in that speech, and I really hope he's right on that.
00:16:30.760
But if you look at Ocasio-Cortez, what you couldn't see as you're listening on radio is that whole speech is done with her in her kitchen, seemingly very likable, chopping up, which seems like, I don't know, cheese or fruit or onion or something.
00:16:45.520
And then, you know, throwing it out and just having, having a little moment in the kitchen, a normal, normal woman having a normal in the kitchen.
00:16:51.180
This is a different, this is not a person like Stalin in a military uniform pitching this stuff.
00:16:56.280
It's, it's somebody who, it's a totally different package.
00:16:59.400
If you missed hour one, go back and listen to that.
00:17:01.680
Read the New York Times story today about the new millennial socialists and their new plan for fully automated luxury communism.
00:17:13.700
It's a new pitch that they're trying to get another new coat of paint on good old Karl Marx, and they will continue to do it.
00:17:25.800
She is pitching the same things just over a slower time, time stretch than revolution, but that doesn't make it any better.
00:17:37.840
And just because she's in a kitchen chopping onions when she's doing it doesn't make it any more attractive.
00:17:55.800
Joy Reid apparently is a person that has a TV show on MSNBC, which is apparently a network of some sort.
00:18:16.460
And I just want to play this because I want to show you how far the left has come away from Dr. Martin Luther King.
00:18:26.880
If you listen to what the Right Reverend said about a dream, we have killed it.
00:18:35.420
And listen to the African Americans that are burying that deep.
00:18:43.240
Black men, blue collar black men, they're going to have a problem with her record.
00:18:48.140
And you're right, Kareem, she's not the only person.
00:18:50.340
But I will say, I think the African American community expects more from people who looks like us, particularly a candidate who wants to represent us.
00:18:57.080
She needs to find a strong black man advocate who can be in her corner at some point on the campaign, at some point in any space in her campaign.
00:19:08.140
Find a prominent, blue collar, self-made black man to be in your corner.
00:19:12.320
When you're saying that she needs to have an advocate out there for her, it's not going to be her husband.
00:19:17.480
She's got to surround herself with African American women.
00:19:19.780
Okay, so Kamala Harris is married to a white man, which she has had several people on the left say how horrible that is.
00:19:33.780
Should we start with the classist or the racist language here?
00:19:39.960
Let's start, well, the racist is the most obvious.
00:19:44.120
Yeah, so the racist, from what I get from this, is black people will not understand a woman who is black, who looks like them, and is trying to represent them, without a black man by her side.
00:20:04.120
So I think that covers both racist and sexist, I think.
00:20:15.320
Apparently, not insulting, I guess, to black people, black voters, who apparently can only understand policies from black men.
00:20:26.120
Strong black men, which I don't understand what a strong black man is, because I thought strong men were bad.
00:20:36.000
Well, they said a strong black, blue collar man.
00:20:41.280
Maybe they're trying to find the one black man who's clean and articulate.
00:20:48.940
Yeah, Joe Biden was talking about somebody that said it was a fairy tale.
00:20:54.300
See, and what a fairy tale is, Glenn, is something that can only happen in a magical land where things don't apply.
00:20:59.620
So it's okay for Joe Biden to say that a clean, articulate black man is a fairy tale.
00:21:06.580
And they seem to be applying, I would say, the same logic here.
00:21:09.580
Because imagine if you're, I mean, again, I don't understand.
00:21:12.920
I don't understand every aspect of being an African-American, as I am not one.
00:21:20.260
Not necessarily black, but he's African-American.
00:21:22.960
So maybe you understand this experience a little bit better than I do.
00:21:26.380
But I would be completely insulted if someone said to me, well, we got to get a strong white guy out there to be the advocate so the white people understand it.
00:21:39.400
They can't understand tax policy without coming from a white guy.
00:21:42.800
Imagine, Carly Fiorina, when she was out there, imagine if I got on the air and said, she's got to have a strong white male standing next to her.
00:21:54.420
Because white males are just not going to, they're just not going to understand her.
00:22:06.260
And if I said it had to be a strong white man, well, then you would be in the category of white supremacy.
00:22:14.180
You know, if I said it had to be a strong white man, I would be a sexist and a white supremacist.
00:22:27.480
And we, the nicest term you can call it is identity politics.
00:22:33.120
I mean, this is, it is rampant in the statement.
00:22:35.960
It's also, I would also say it's elitist because those people all believe that they know better.
00:22:48.060
We have to have a strong black man, blue collar worker standing next to her.
00:22:54.660
You know, it sounds exactly like is Margaret Sanger from back in the day.
00:23:00.180
She had to find black preachers to go into the black communities to convince them all that abortion was a wonderful idea.
00:23:06.300
So she could get her little movement off the ground.
00:23:08.920
It is becoming more and more like the early American progressive movement.
00:23:12.960
When we first started looking at this, we found that those early American progressives, generally speaking, the ones who were running it were just black evil.
00:23:24.300
I mean, the Margaret Sangers of the world, they were just evil.
00:23:30.360
Now, you can excuse them and living at a different time, whatever.
00:23:39.700
And then the progressives, you know, the average person was like, I'm progressive.
00:23:50.680
We all live together and we communicate on social media.
00:23:58.920
And the leadership is saying and doing and acting exactly the same way as they did in the early 20th century.
00:24:07.620
And that you will end up on the wrong side of history.
00:24:12.060
And I mean the very wrong side of history if you go there.
00:24:19.200
Think of Martin Luther King's dream that you would judge people by the content of the character.
00:24:24.740
He's saying, these people are saying, that black people will not look at her character.
00:24:30.960
They're incapable of her character listening to what she has to say.
00:24:34.980
They need a strong black man to stand up next to her.
00:24:53.780
I mean, I remember the racist debates at the time that I don't think at the time were all racist.
00:25:02.620
But I remember the debates of, you can't marry a black person.
00:25:06.960
What would you do if your son or daughter came home with a black person?
00:25:10.740
That was in the context of saying it would be rough on your child, right?
00:25:16.220
That's what I remember my grandfather saying, you know, what will that do for the children?
00:25:25.520
They'll go to school and they'll be in neither group.
00:25:34.940
You could probably say, in some ways, it's still true because kids are just cruel.
00:25:40.180
And the only way to make it untrue is to ignore that stuff.
00:25:42.760
You know, you just go, you know, that over time that does seem to work itself out, though
00:25:48.280
And you can understand a protective parent thinking that way in that time.
00:26:06.280
And it talks about how we all come from the same blood.
00:26:09.120
So I don't understand the alt-right people who say they're so Christian-y and need white
00:26:14.120
And I don't understand someone on MSNBC saying, hey, you know what?
00:26:18.920
Maybe we need black men to talk to black men because black men can't understand policies
00:26:25.300
because if they don't see, you know, hear it coming out of the voice of someone that's
00:26:31.460
None of that is, you know, they say Christians are so hateful.
00:26:35.940
This two-testament book I'm speaking of has a little bit of influence over Christianity.
00:26:42.000
And it's pretty clear that race is not an issue.
00:27:01.340
Uh, and, uh, and he, he said, um, and I'll listen to this, uh, blessed are ye when men
00:27:09.400
shall hate you and when they shall separate you from their company and shall reproach you
00:27:27.720
And I know it means company, meaning, you know, companionship, but think of it as company.
00:27:32.940
If you stand up for gender, you have a good chance of being thrown out of your company and
00:27:44.840
And then there's this woe unto you when all men shall speak well of you.
00:27:51.260
Think of, think of the people and how you are forced to speak well of people or things or
00:28:12.420
This is the first time it's, it's actually very healthy not to be part of the popular
00:28:21.140
culture, not to be popular, to be despised, wear that as a badge of honor right now.
00:28:28.780
Because those are the times we're living in and you have to decide.
00:28:33.280
We all have to decide, are we going to be popular?
00:28:37.340
Because woe unto you if everybody's saying good things about you.
00:28:43.760
And I will say too, you know, how many religious leaders have we seen over the past, you know,
00:28:47.880
decade that have made decisions based not on what you just described, but on pragmatism.
00:28:53.060
Well, we need to win and we need to make this decision because we need it.
00:28:59.420
It's the exact opposite you're supposed to be getting from faith in every way.
00:29:02.740
I was talking to a preacher just recently that was saying, uh, we, we should be, we should
00:29:12.780
Where do you see the churches that are really under attack that are just in the news all the
00:29:19.540
time because they said something you're, you're not seeing them because they're all playing
00:29:25.860
They're all saying, well, we'll just take it a bit at a time.
00:29:28.000
When we are at the point of, of, we're not sure how a vote today will come down in the
00:29:34.340
Senate, whether they will vote to ensure that it is against the law to kill a child after
00:29:41.780
When we're not sure how that vote is going to come down.

We had a great discussion with Rabbi Daniel Lappin on Saturday's podcast.

The reason why that's important is it helps other people discover it.
00:30:22.140
Uh, it, it, it helps, uh, other people to find it.
00:30:25.540
Anyway, um, we had Rabbi Lappin on and we were talking about this, this anti-Semitism that
00:30:36.220
It rises up because the, um, the, the ultimate, uh, Titanic cultural struggle, um, in the world
00:30:47.380
today is exactly the same as it was in Russia in the beginning of the 20th century or in
00:30:55.080
France at the end of the 18th century, uh, or all the way back to, to, um, the nine verses
00:31:05.600
Um, it's always a struggle between, uh, and loosely paraphrased.
00:31:13.280
It's a struggle between, um, um, a divine, uh, godly vision for human society and a, a human
00:31:25.660
And, um, and the Jews have always been recognized, uh, by, by great leaders like Winston Churchill
00:31:38.240
and, uh, and, uh, and philosophers and scholars.
00:31:42.240
And they've also been recognized by, uh, anti-Semitic tyrants, um, as the official, uh, architects
00:31:51.960
of that divine order of human, uh, social organization.
00:32:04.560
We've crossed into bad politics and all of that.
00:32:07.880
We've crossed the Rubicon and we're, we're now looking at, uh, the destruction of people,
00:32:14.780
not stuff, people, uh, and the devaluing of life and, and that life is not important, more
00:32:23.260
important than the planet, that humans are a virus.
00:32:28.700
They're out of nature and they're killing nature.
00:32:36.820
I mean, Ilhan Omar and, uh, Tlaib and these new group of, uh, congressional Democrats have
00:32:43.200
come in and they've made their points very clear over their lives that, uh, they just
00:32:50.180
And for some reason, the Democrats are not in revolt over this.
00:32:53.940
I will have much more hope when we start to see from the democratic party, what we're now
00:32:58.260
seeing in the labor party of England, where labor party members who have been labor party
00:33:05.340
There are too many anti anti-Semite Semites in this party.
