00:00:00.000 I just want people to see what's happening, to see the bigger picture of this battle that's being waged.
00:00:06.660 This is the same battle for life.
00:00:08.920 If you can't kill them off with abortion, you do it by, you know, quote, thinning the herd through fentanyl poisoning.
00:00:16.100 And my friends, one year ago today is the day that President Biden got caught out laughing about the deaths, tragic deaths of two young men.
00:00:37.880 We're sitting here right now with someone you know very well, who is the mother of those two young men.
00:00:43.980 And I'm going to let her introduce the clips we're going to play for you to remind you of this.
00:00:50.220 Stay tuned to this episode of the John Hunter Weston Show.
00:00:54.840 Rebecca Kiesling, my friend. So good to be with you as always.
00:00:58.600 Let's begin as we always do at the Son of the Cross.
00:01:01.640 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
00:01:06.880 Now, we don't often get into the heart of politics, but this is really exceptional.
00:01:18.880 Introduce this first clip for us.
00:01:20.380 This is your, give us a bit first and we'll go to the testimony.
00:01:25.800 But what was your testimony?
00:01:27.420 What was it about?
00:01:28.180 So we can see what and how stunning Biden's actions were.
00:01:31.940 I testified before a congressional committee on the border and Congressman Green had interviewed me the summer before.
00:01:47.920 And he told me, and his staffer is a pro-life activist who used to work for Cleveland Right to Life.
00:01:56.220 And she got hired and he started to talk to her about his passion about this issue of fentanyl.
00:02:03.640 He is a physician who had been the head of a hospital.
00:02:08.360 He'd been, I think, a major in the Army.
00:02:11.000 And he was just passionate about doing something to save lives.
00:02:16.000 And she said, well, actually, you know, I know a pro-life leader activist who lost her two sons.
00:02:22.580 And so she connected us and he had interviewed me on his podcast and he said that, you know, if I get elected, I want you to know, well, if we, sorry, he was already a congressman.
00:02:35.360 He said, if we gain control of the House, he said, I'm going to, I promise you I will do something about this issue.
00:02:42.920 And then Fox News saw that they interviewed us.
00:02:46.220 And again, he promised me I will do something about this.
00:02:49.540 His very first hearing ever was on the border.
00:02:54.680 And he brought me in as the witness.
00:02:59.780 And he, you know, he followed through with that promise.
00:03:03.220 Let's take a look at this testimony.
00:03:05.940 If we had Chinese troops lining up along our southern border with weapons aimed at our people, with weapons of mass destruction aimed at our cities, you damn well know you would do something about it. 0.98
00:03:24.340 We have a weather balloon from China going across our country.
00:03:30.760 Nobody died and everybody's freaking out about it.
00:03:34.460 But 100,000 die every year and nothing's being done.
00:03:39.280 Not enough is being done.
00:03:40.880 Numbers are going up, not down.
00:03:43.200 And you talk about children being taken away from their parents.
00:03:50.160 My children were taken away from me.
00:03:54.680 100,000 Americans every year are having their children, 200,000, because it's both parents, right?
00:04:02.720 Are having their children taken away from them.
00:04:06.640 This should not be politicized.
00:04:08.660 It's not about race.
00:04:10.060 Fentanyl doesn't care about race.
00:04:11.780 You see, you talk about welcoming those, crossing our border, seeking protection.
00:04:19.320 You're welcoming drug dealers across our border.
00:04:22.940 You're giving them protection.
00:04:24.340 You're not protecting our children.
00:04:28.760 So take us from there to what stunning happened.
00:04:33.280 The very next day it happened.
00:04:35.260 Yeah.
00:04:37.240 And, you know, this is really hard to talk about.
00:04:39.820 I would much rather spend time, you know, remembering my sons, talking about how they lived.
00:04:46.320 You know, my daughters, they don't want to talk about how their brothers died.
00:04:49.700 They like to tell stories, you know, happy stories about their lives.
00:04:54.620 They were very pro-life, by the way.
00:04:56.880 But, you know, I did it because I want to make a difference.
00:05:00.680 And, you know, all these innocent children are dying from fentanyl poisoning, not from an overdose, okay?
00:05:08.600 But from poisoning people who thought they're doing recreational drugs and instead they get something deadly.
00:05:13.800 And I, you know, I believe they deserve to be protected.
00:05:18.300 And the first rule of government is to protect our people.
00:05:23.080 And they're not doing that because this is a war going on with China and the cartels and, you know, the, they're killing off.
00:05:34.360 It's the number one cause of death, ages 18 to 45.
00:05:37.180 And even ages 1 to 8, you know, we see toddlers dying from fentanyl poisoning.
00:05:45.060 Again, not an overdose, poisoning.
00:05:46.980 And so, you know, I sacrificed my time to go to Congress and to share this difficult story.
00:05:54.520 And the very next day, well, yeah, it went viral.
00:05:59.380 And I guess that night, that same night, he spoke to House Democrats and he said,
00:06:04.620 oh, did you see that poor mom, you know, who lost her two sons? 0.91
00:06:08.020 Well, it turns out the fentanyl they got came during the last administration.
00:06:11.000 And he laughed.
00:06:13.420 And I was actually being interviewed, I think it was on Tucker Carlson, and Sean Hannity was on it.
00:06:22.980 I'm watching it.
00:06:24.680 And he brings up this clip that Biden had laughed the night before.
00:06:32.900 And I just was dumbfounded.
00:06:36.200 I couldn't believe it, that this is our president?
00:06:38.720 He laughed about my sons.
00:06:42.200 You know, I felt, you know, this is hard enough to share about them and, you know,
00:06:49.380 to think of my sons and that they're so disrespected.
00:06:52.840 Like I never thought something like that could happen, that, you know,
00:06:55.860 the president would just laugh about somebody dying.
00:07:00.400 Let's take a look at that clip.
00:07:02.180 A little bit more of Marjorie Taylor Greene and a few more,
00:07:08.140 you're going to have a lot of Republicans running our way.
00:07:15.100 Isn't she amazing? 1.00
00:07:16.100 She was very specific recently saying that a mom, 0.90
00:07:19.340 a poor mother who lost two kids to fentanyl, that I killed her sons. 1.00
00:07:24.560 Well, the interesting thing is, that fentanyl they took came from a lot of people who lost two kids to fentanyl.
00:07:31.100 She was very specific recently saying that a mom, a poor mother who lost two kids to fentanyl, 0.98
00:07:38.280 that I killed her sons. 0.75
00:07:41.520 Well, the interesting thing is, that fentanyl they took came during the last administration. 0.98
00:07:49.320 Look, folks.
00:07:51.780 Anyway, I don't want to get started.
00:07:53.360 Now, I want to talk to you about something, because you've been in the pro-life movement,
00:08:02.020 you've fought in this movement for so long.
00:08:05.920 You've witnessed government doing what, at least from the pro-life perspective, is impossible.
00:08:12.600 They are promoting, not only just allowing for it,
00:08:16.600 they're promoting the killing of unborn children in America. 0.99
00:08:19.420 They're doing it in black communities, while at the same time swearing up and down 1.00
00:08:24.540 that they're doing it for black babies, and then everybody knows and sees 0.99
00:08:27.920 the abortion mills are all in the black communities, 1.00
00:08:30.380 and they're killing more black kids than anyone else. 1.00
00:08:33.660 There is an intentional move to kill children. 0.99
00:08:39.200 But from your experience with your own children,
00:08:43.280 you've seen it's not only even abortion.
00:08:45.840 It's not just the sacrament of abortion.
00:08:47.760 And I'd like you to speak to that.
00:08:51.540 What I see is that this is the same spirit of death as abortion. 0.98
00:08:58.680 The thief came to steal, kill, and destroy.
00:09:03.060 And you have all of these population-controlled people,
00:09:08.000 Democrats, who are unwilling to do something about the border,
00:09:14.180 to secure the border.
00:09:15.100 They're unwilling to pass the drug homicide, drug-induced homicide laws.
00:09:24.400 Like, you look at who's behind it, like in California.
00:09:27.300 In California, it was just that there would have to be a warning that, you know,
00:09:33.940 if someone dies, the next time you'll get a warning that if it happens again,
00:09:39.380 then you could end up in jail.
00:09:42.780 And they wouldn't pass it.
00:09:45.160 They refused.
00:09:46.440 You look at the guy from the Cato Institute,
00:09:48.480 who was the Democrats' expert when I testified in Congress.
00:09:52.440 He testified that it should be your choice,
00:09:57.740 that it's like the same rhetoric, my body, my choice,
00:10:01.400 that it should be a choice to do drugs,
00:10:04.500 and that we need to decriminalize all drugs.
00:10:10.240 And I just, I ended up, I got called on and asked a question,
00:10:14.640 and I referred him and said he's delusional.
00:10:17.060 Like, you know, when people get fentanyl as anesthesia in a hospital,
00:10:23.580 you have doctors there to make sure you don't die.
00:10:25.780 Like, are you really going to set up centers all over the country
00:10:28.640 where we're going to hook up a whole generation of young people
00:10:32.420 and have doctors there to make sure they don't die? 0.95
00:10:35.820 Like, are you crazy?
00:10:36.780 Like, you can't decriminalize this. 1.00
00:10:39.500 Like, you're just going to let them die? 0.57
00:10:41.080 That's it? 0.93
00:10:41.980 It's their choice? 1.00
00:10:42.880 Just let them die? 1.00
00:10:43.540 It doesn't matter?
00:10:44.380 You cannot be pro-choice when life is at stake,
00:10:49.660 when it's a matter of life and death. 0.97
00:10:52.200 You don't just say it's their choice, just let them die.
00:10:56.660 We have it in Canada on the other end as well,
00:10:59.880 because, of course, you know, we've legalized euthanasia,
00:11:01.800 and it's almost exactly that.
00:11:03.380 Even though they tried to bring it in with,
00:11:05.020 oh, it's only for the sake, it's actually, it's their choice. 1.00
00:11:07.840 Let them die. 0.97
00:11:08.720 So you think about the master plan of the enemy, 1.00
00:11:11.460 and, of course, the ultimate enemy is Satan,
00:11:13.800 you know, who came to steal, kill, and destroy.
00:11:16.920 And, you know, how do you go about it?
00:11:20.140 You know, I've often heard that, like, Satan is kind of the opposite of Jesus,
00:11:26.160 where he doesn't want people to know about him,
00:11:28.760 and he doesn't want people to believe in him.
00:11:31.140 You know, so you're oblivious to see this master plan being enacted.
00:11:35.380 And so, you know, how do you go about implementing this plan?
00:11:39.800 You go after the most marginalized, right, the pre-born. 1.00
00:11:44.220 And out of the pre-born, who are the most marginalized of that group? 0.58
00:11:50.060 Oh, okay, children conceived in rape. 0.99
00:11:52.760 The black community, right, they're going after them. 1.00
00:11:56.040 Pre-born children of different races. 0.95
00:12:00.080 And then people, pre-born children with disabilities.
00:12:05.900 And then you go after the disabled and infirm who are elderly. 0.95
00:12:10.800 And then you go after people with substance use disorder.
00:12:15.640 Because, again, like, who's paying attention?
00:12:17.900 Who really cares about them? 0.99
00:12:19.100 Oh, they're just drug addicts. 1.00
00:12:20.300 Just let them die. 1.00
00:12:21.620 There's people who think that way. 0.99
00:12:22.760 And I heard from them because there were people who were emailing me,
00:12:28.600 tagging me on social media, harassing me, saying, 0.55
00:12:31.500 you should be the next to die. 0.99
00:12:33.840 And saying that, you know, calling me all kinds of names, you know, 1.00
00:12:37.960 you dumb bee. 1.00
00:12:40.060 And, you know, like, they're angry that I made Biden look bad. 1.00
00:12:43.400 Like, look, it's my fault that he said that.
00:12:45.920 And, you know, saying things like,
00:12:47.100 what kind of a mother raises her children to do drugs. 1.00
00:12:49.420 Like, are you crazy? 0.99
00:12:50.520 Like, you really think that? 0.96
00:12:51.780 And they're like, oh, you don't want to die, don't do drugs.
00:12:55.540 Like, and that's just it.
00:12:57.560 There are so many kids that thought they were experiencing one time.
00:13:03.600 Like, you know, the slogan, one pill can kill.
00:13:06.560 And they deserve to be protected.
00:13:08.540 Our government knows what's happening.
00:13:10.800 And it's coming freely across the border.
00:13:13.060 They know that this is a war.
00:13:14.480 They're killing all these young people that are of childbearing age. 0.99
00:13:18.940 And I absolutely believe that these are the same people who think that the world's overpopulated.
00:13:25.800 And to them, they're just thinning the herd with the least of these, with the most marginalized,
00:13:33.000 who they just hope other people aren't paying attention and won't really care.
00:13:37.280 You know, we'll just get away with it.
00:13:38.520 And they are right now.
00:13:40.460 Can you just, for our listeners, many are Canadian, and some actually haven't heard the perspective
00:13:46.880 because in a lot of areas you can't even get Fox News.
00:13:50.340 What's the pro-life explanation of why you need border controls?
00:13:56.240 You know, because it's honestly made to sound like, oh, Trump's just against immigration.
00:14:00.580 He just doesn't like brown people.
00:14:02.820 Or, you know, he's a problem with Mexicans or Latin Americans because they won't vote for him. 0.88
00:14:08.160 What's the real story?
00:14:09.140 What's the pro-life reason for why we need border controls and proper immigration? 0.79
00:14:13.380 Well, as being an attorney who, you know, is the founder or president of an organization
00:14:22.120 with a network of over 1,200 conceived in rape, incest, sex trafficking,
00:14:27.160 mothers who became pregnant as a result of rape, incest, and sex trafficking.
00:14:31.160 For years we've been saying that sex traffickers love abortion.
00:14:35.080 You know, it's their best friend.
00:14:36.520 And we want to see these children separated at the border, at least, you know, temporarily
00:14:42.900 until you can get DNA testing and see, is this really their parent or is this a sex trafficker?
00:14:49.260 You know, if you really care about rape victims, you want them to be protected.
00:14:53.600 You want to screen.
00:14:55.200 You want to make sure they're safe.
00:14:56.880 And, you know, again, when this Democrat right before I testified last year started talking about Trump
00:15:06.780 taking children away from their parents, you know, I thought, you know, and I said,
00:15:13.640 my children have been taken away from me.
00:15:15.220 I mean, I'm thinking they could be reunited, like, later with, we're making sure they're safe,
00:15:21.320 that these really are their parents, and we'll make sure they're not being trafficked
00:15:25.520 and with DNA testing, you can prove who their parents are and make sure they're safe,
00:15:30.040 and they could be reunited.
00:15:32.380 You know, I'll never be reunited here on earth with my children.
00:15:41.200 You know, my children were taken away from me forever here on earth.
00:15:47.020 You know, Jesus said that hell is where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
00:15:53.140 This has been hell on earth.
00:15:55.520 To lose your children.
00:15:57.760 And, I mean, I literally, like, cracked a tooth.
00:16:05.000 And it's a lot to overcome.
00:16:08.860 I just want people to see what's happening, to see the bigger picture of this battle that's being waged.
00:16:15.560 This is the same battle for life.
00:16:17.420 And, you know, if you can't kill them off with abortion, you do it by, you know, quote, 0.92
00:16:24.940 thinning the herd through fentanyl poisoning. 0.94
00:16:28.440 You know, again, this is all coming from China.
00:16:30.300 They don't care about killing their own population. 0.96
00:16:33.160 You know, you think they care about killing off our children, who are not just of childbearing age, 0.53
00:16:39.300 but they're of what would be military age, right?
00:16:43.540 They're fighting a war against us, using weapons of mass destruction, but doing it in a clandestine way where people aren't really paying attention.
00:16:53.460 If they were aligned at our border, and I said this when I testified, you know, aiming weapons of mass destruction, I said to Congress,
00:17:03.160 forgive me my language, but I said, you damn well know you would do something about it.
00:17:08.400 But because it's done through drugs, it's like, you know, if all these people think, they're just drug addicts, you know, let them go.
00:17:19.900 But, you know, we have young people, like toddlers dying.
00:17:25.100 Were they addicts?
00:17:26.940 Or people that just try one time, or they end up with THC gummies, or they're vaping in a vape pen.
00:17:32.780 I'm meeting parents whose children died thinking that they were just vaping, that it was just nicotine.
00:17:38.600 They find out there's fentanyl in it.
00:17:40.680 You know, if they're young, they don't know what they're getting.
00:17:42.500 They're getting it illegally, and it's all just flowing across our border.
00:17:46.660 And I really think that it's, you know, part of a master plan, just like, you know,
00:17:53.120 look at who is the number one provider in the United States of hormonal therapy to transition.
00:18:01.260 It's Planned Parenthood.
00:18:03.780 Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger's organization, the Birth Control League,
00:18:08.420 which was, you know, part of the American Eugenics Society.
00:18:12.880 It helped you watch the movie, Maafa 21.
00:18:15.360 You'll see the history of eugenics in America. 0.58
00:18:18.540 And it's people who think that, you know, the world is overpopulated,
00:18:22.540 and also that the wrong people are having children.
00:18:25.680 And, you know, there is a master plan of extermination.
00:18:30.100 Let me stop you there because that's a concept that I think for a lot of people is so far-fetched.
00:18:39.400 People need to know you're a lawyer.
00:18:42.320 People need to know that you're someone who has not only lived in the academic world
00:18:50.100 but fought in the academic world.
00:18:51.560 But you're also completely sane.
00:18:56.160 So you're saying that there's a plan for extermination sounds so extreme.
00:19:01.420 What brought you over the edge to get to that place?
00:19:08.100 Because when you were fighting abortion in the beginning, that wasn't your understanding.
00:19:12.280 What brought you all the way over there?
00:19:15.220 Well, first of all, the film, Maafa 21, is very compelling.
00:19:19.880 Also, you know, I grew up learning about overpopulation, how the world's overpopulated.
00:19:27.600 And then I encourage people to also watch a demographic winter, demographic bomb.
00:19:34.460 Those refute, you know, the overpopulation, you know, rhetoric.
00:19:39.560 But it's important to be educated on this issue.
00:19:43.380 But I began to see that, yeah, they're doing it.
00:19:46.940 They're implementing this.
00:19:48.420 And you just look at the words of people from the American Eugenics Society and who's who
00:19:55.800 and the words of Margaret Sanger and what they're doing, how they're implementing it,
00:20:02.180 and who's funding abortion globally.
00:20:04.840 And I see and I hear the same exact arguments now.
00:20:14.920 Like, it was chilling to hear the guy from the Cato Institute talking about, you know,
00:20:20.000 choice and their body and, you know, autonomy and, you know, the right to choose to do drugs.
00:20:30.120 They want it to be, you know, safe and legal.
00:20:33.200 Okay, we heard that.
00:20:34.840 You know, and you can't make it safe and legal.
00:20:40.300 You just can't.
00:20:41.260 Just like with abortion, you can't. 0.76
00:20:44.440 It doesn't matter how much you try.
00:20:47.440 It's never going to be safe.
00:20:49.180 And there's women who are being harmed by abortion and babies dying from abortion. 1.00
00:20:52.600 And same thing where you have innocent people who are dying from having this drug culture.
00:21:00.860 It gives a whole new perspective on this video clip.
00:21:05.800 Yuval Noah Harari, who is, they call him, you know, the brains behind the World Economic Forum.
00:21:11.680 He was asked a question about, well, he was pontificating, actually, about the takeover of AI and how they're going to do all the jobs. 0.94
00:21:19.560 And what are we going to do with all these useless people? 0.90
00:21:23.680 He said, well, play the clip. 0.98
00:21:25.720 He said, my best guess, drugs and video games.
00:21:30.880 Listen to this. 1.00
00:21:31.660 Now we see the creation of a new massive class of useless people.
00:21:38.380 As computers become better and better in more and more fields, there is a distinct possibility that computers will outperform us in most tasks and will make humans redundant.
00:21:53.340 And then the big political and economic question of the 21st century will be, what do we need humans for?
00:22:00.600 Or at least, what do we need so many humans for?
00:22:03.980 Do you have an answer in the book?
00:22:05.040 At present, the best guess we have is keep them happy with drugs and computer games.
00:22:12.580 But this doesn't sound like a very appealing future.
00:22:18.080 Your testimony, your story, the tragedy from your heart gives a whole new meaning to when he says drugs and video games.
00:22:30.020 Because at one point, the best you could have thought was, well, you know, they'll be taken up with their time with video games and sustained in their life of doing nothing by having drugs to just keep them calm or whatever.
00:22:45.180 But their plan is depopulation.
00:22:49.460 Their plan is controlling the world's population. 0.84
00:22:51.940 And part of it is getting children to self-sterilize through the transitioning.
00:23:01.260 And they have no problem giving them these hormones. 0.91
00:23:07.460 And interestingly, like, fun fact that I don't normally share, but as a young woman, I was an athlete and I got into lifting weights.
00:23:21.460 And I ended up, I broke the teen national record for bench press, and I was a bodybuilder, okay, not something I like to share because I really don't like that whole culture and just kind of, you know, it was a little bit of a product of how I was raised at the time.
00:23:37.720 I didn't know Christ.
00:23:38.900 And anyhow, a little bit of a lost years in my life.
00:23:45.560 But I wrote essays against steroids.
00:23:53.000 And I was really upset because it was sort of early in women's bodybuilding. 0.78
00:23:58.360 And I started seeing women my age group, teenagers doing steroids, and knew what it was doing to destroy them and to destroy their chance of fertility, like, forever. 1.00
00:24:10.920 And permanently altering their voice and their physical being.
00:24:17.440 And I wrote essays against it in high school and in college.
00:24:22.100 And I see they're doing this.
00:24:25.020 Planned Parenthood is doing this to girls and to boys and trying to, you know, doing the puberty blockers and then, you know, mutilating them.
00:24:36.360 And they make it sound altruistic that, oh, it's because we care, right, you know?
00:24:43.960 Care no matter what is their slogan.
00:24:46.880 And all of these young people are being duped and they don't realize this is part of the population control plan.
00:24:55.160 They're falling right into it because they just don't want you having children.
00:24:59.900 And they don't understand it's part of this whole master plan that's being implemented.
00:25:07.080 It's strategic and it's just sad that so many people don't see.
00:25:16.400 Again, it's like this idea that Satan is the opposite of Christ, that he doesn't want you to know he exists and he doesn't want you to see what's happening.
00:25:25.700 Kind of like the movie The Matrix, right?
00:25:27.600 Do you want to swallow the pill and know what's really happening?
00:25:29.980 I mean, open up your eyes and see how it's all the same spirit of death.
00:25:35.280 Rebecca, I think your whole life has been a testimony.
00:25:42.260 Your whole life that I've known you for has been such a raw testimony of things.
00:25:52.040 And this latest chapter is, again, calling you to reach deep into your heart and share from so much of your own pain.
00:26:02.320 You're a hero in many ways.
00:26:06.080 God bless you.
00:26:07.860 Thank you for sharing with us.
00:26:10.180 My sons both said to me shortly before they died, you know, they both wanted to be free and they had gotten clean and really wanted to be free.
00:26:19.000 And, you know, once they experimented, you're hooked like that.
00:26:24.780 If you get fentanyl in your system, it's, you know, 50 times more powerful than heroin.
00:26:32.300 I mean, it's insanely addictive and powerful.
00:26:36.220 And my boys had gotten free and they wanted to stay free.
00:26:41.700 And they, you know, said that, you know, you're my hero.
00:26:45.080 You always cared.
00:26:46.100 You always inspected a room.
00:26:47.440 You always taught us right from wrong, you know.
00:26:49.240 And then my son said, you know, just, Mom, please don't ever abandon me.
00:26:54.260 And, you know, I wish I knew that when I know now because I didn't know what fentanyl was.
00:27:02.620 I didn't know what Narcam was.
00:27:04.040 I didn't know that they had inadvertently dabbled in anything that could kill them.
00:27:11.280 You know, the things they had admitted to are things that don't kill you.
00:27:15.960 You know, and all these kids, if you just teach your kids, and this is the warning to other parents,
00:27:20.960 if you merely teach your kids don't do fentanyl, they're like, okay, I won't do fentanyl.
00:27:25.400 Fine, I won't touch fentanyl.
00:27:28.560 None of them know they're getting fentanyl, you know.
00:27:30.600 And there's no room for error at all.
00:27:36.840 It is not how we grew up.
00:27:39.440 The year that my oldest son, Caleb, was born, 2000, there were 20,000 drug-related deaths.
00:27:45.200 The year they died, 2020, there were over 100,000.
00:27:48.940 Now we're on track for 125,000.
00:27:51.420 Okay, the world has changed so fast.
00:27:55.360 It's mind-boggling.
00:27:56.640 This is not like our generation where I had lots of friends who experimented.
00:28:01.460 I wasn't one of those.
00:28:02.440 I was into health and fitness and everything.
00:28:04.740 But, you know, we know a lot of people who experimented, and they didn't die.
00:28:10.800 Now there's no room for that.
00:28:13.400 And it's scary because, you know, teenagers have a propensity to, you know, want to rebel a little.
00:28:21.760 Or there's no room for that.
00:28:24.500 And it's absolutely terrifying.
00:28:27.680 So I hope, you know, you will teach your children.
00:28:32.140 But we also, we need to have a policy that protects our people.
00:28:39.360 We have to fight back.
00:28:41.160 Rebecca Kiesling, God bless you.
00:28:46.020 Thank you.
00:28:49.280 From here in Washington, D.C., this has been The John Henry Riston Show.
00:28:54.020 May God bless you.
00:28:54.560 The John Henry Riston Show.
