00:00:00.000 In less than a year, our podcast has gone from an average of 10,000 downloads a month to 50,000
00:00:05.360 downloads. What made the difference? You leaving us a five-star review. The more positive reviews,
00:00:11.680 the more the algorithm picks us up, and more people are confronted by the law and gospel
00:00:17.100 of Jesus Christ. Help us press forward the crown rights of King Jesus by leaving us a five-star
00:00:24.100 review on your favorite podcast platform. Thanks. You live in a dystopia.
00:00:30.000 Every part of historical human existence in our world has been turned on its head.
00:00:38.240 The world we live in is an inversion of what God created you to live in.
00:00:43.220 All that is good is treated as though it were repugnant.
00:00:46.460 All that is beautiful is treated as though it were repulsive.
00:00:49.680 And the truth is forbidden while the most outrageous lies are exalted.
00:00:54.240 this world did not become like this by accident or by inexorable forces of history
00:01:01.180 this world was engineered to be this way
00:01:04.720 it was designed to take the life your ancestors had and tear it apart to prevent you from
00:01:12.400 attaining a normal human way of life after the events of 2020 the lockdowns the regime
00:01:21.280 sponsored riots and the dubious election, many people became aware of the fact that we have
00:01:27.200 elites who rule over us who might not have our best interests in mind. For at least a segment
00:01:34.580 of the population, the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab, George Soros, and the late Jeffrey Epstein
00:01:39.600 became household names. Millions of people are now terrified of what apocalyptic hellscape these
00:01:46.100 people will create, but they're not asking the right questions. The question is not what are
00:01:52.360 they planning to do to us? What you should be asking is what have they already done and what
00:01:58.080 can people do about it? You call it trash world. Some guys call it clown world, but one thing that
00:02:08.240 you did really well, I think just in the preface is talking about how it's fake and gay and not
00:02:13.600 just to get a rise, but those words are intentional. Let's, let's talk about fakeness and
00:02:19.180 gayness of trash world and how we need to recognize it and push back. Yeah. Yeah. Well, um, yeah,
00:02:25.160 the, the, the fakeness and the gayness, and I, I talk about this in, in the book and I'll,
00:02:30.400 I'll say that a lot, but I talk about this in the book that it's not just, um, like a schoolyard
00:02:37.820 slur or, or something that that's intentionally provocative. Of course it is intentionally
00:02:43.020 provocative, but, but it isn't just that. It isn't, it isn't just something to, to make you
00:02:47.680 recoil. It, there's a deep meaning to it that the, the world around us is, is fake. It's not real.
00:02:56.220 It's not, it's totally artificial. The entire way of life that, that we now have is, is not
00:03:03.300 something that is, you know, one sustainable. It's not something that is, is a way that human
00:03:09.180 beings have really ever lived in in our entire existence and um and it's it's all set up by this
00:03:16.580 kind of house of cards both both socially and economically and everything else politically
00:03:20.580 and um when you begin to see it and you you have to have some kind of understanding of history of
00:03:27.080 like how did how did my great great grandparents live how did people two three hundred years ago
00:03:31.760 live what what were their lives like um who did they you know did they have families and
00:03:36.760 extended kin networks and neighborhoods and communities that they were deeply invested
00:03:43.120 in a part of. And those are things that just don't exist anymore. And they don't exist because
00:03:49.180 everyone just forgot. Like, oh, we just forgot how to live like human beings. No, it's been
00:03:54.700 designed to be a way where you are totally isolated. And the only reason for existence
00:04:00.880 for most people is just to consume product to entertain themselves until they die.
00:04:06.760 Um, and, uh, we can get into the, the gayness aspect of it as well.
00:04:13.180 Does that need explanation?
00:04:14.520 I don't know.
00:04:15.580 It does.
00:04:16.260 Actually it does.
00:04:17.040 It does.
00:04:17.780 Yeah.
00:04:18.100 It does.
00:04:18.780 Um, you know, I can, I can read some more of the, uh, the, the section later on.
00:04:22.960 Well, before we get there, like, yeah.
00:04:23.920 So let's talk about, yeah.
00:04:25.220 Fake and gay, break it down.
00:04:26.420 Start with fake.
00:04:27.500 Uh, one of the things that you said that I found really helpful was just saying that
00:04:30.920 one of the reasons why our overlords can get away and our culture just at large can get
00:04:36.060 away with being so fake is because of the accrued capital that's come from like the industrial
00:04:43.180 revolution or, you know, just the last hundred years of accruing just as a massive amount of
00:04:50.940 wealth. Like Doug Wilson says it like this. He says like, you know, the prodigal, when he took
00:04:55.220 his father's money, he didn't, he didn't spend it all, you know, overnight. It took a while for him
00:04:59.660 to actually, cause his, his dad worked hard. His dad was wealthy. So it's, it's a lot of wealth
00:05:04.540 that you got to burn through. And one of those things is it's not just the capital and the wealth,
00:05:08.560 but it's also when you think about how people work today, how they produce, because of innovations
00:05:14.800 and technology and all these kinds of things, it allows for us to pretend, especially when we think
00:05:20.000 about gender, it allows us to pretend that there really is no difference between male and female,
00:05:24.760 because once upon a time, in order to produce, in order to work, you actually require physical
00:05:31.040 strength in a way that we don't necessarily require it today. And so I thought that that
00:05:35.260 would be interesting to talk about the dynamics between men and women and those kinds of things
00:05:39.060 and how, you know, so. Yeah, no, I was just, I was just, when I, when I read that first chapter,
00:05:43.960 it reminded me of something I've had conversations many times with people and they've been thanking
00:05:48.740 me for the videos I do or whatever. And one of the things they'll often say is it was nice to
00:05:53.760 know that I wasn't crazy. Yeah. Right. And, and that, and that is people because, because your,
00:05:59.120 your your families are real your kids are really like you're you know especially christians they've
00:06:04.040 got a a lot of times a connection with reality but then they see how fake everything is and they
00:06:10.220 start to wonder maybe i'm crazy right yeah when they see others that are like that well i guess
00:06:15.060 i'm not yeah that's where the fakeness comes in here right yeah yeah absolutely i mean and that
00:06:19.860 that's part of the design too is um they want people to be isolated and alone so that when
00:06:25.580 when you notice, oh, things are not right. Everybody else is still, you know, plugged
00:06:31.180 into the matrix and you're not, and you feel like you're the one that's taking crazy pills
00:06:36.640 and, and you, you're completely alone, right? You have nobody alongside you that says,
00:06:42.520 no, things are really bad. So yeah, when, when you read, when you discover that, you know,
00:06:47.140 there are other people that think like you do that see these things are this way, it's a huge
00:06:51.140 boost you know you're not you're not alone you you aren't they want you think you are but but
00:06:56.040 you're not and um that's that's part of it and and to one of the things joel said um it isn't it
00:07:03.500 isn't just the the material wealth that that was accrued over the last 100 or 200 years that were
00:07:09.960 uh you know the equity were were quickly burning through um but it's also it's also every other
00:07:15.860 form of wealth like social capital um and and just um inherited a virtue uh across an entire
00:07:24.680 society and civilization um that took you know decades centuries millennia to accrue and to
00:07:32.560 build up like the idea uh and you would see this um i remember you know like when i was in college
00:07:38.600 that's when the the new atheists like uh were doing their thing like christopher hitchens and
00:07:43.200 and daniel dennett and james lindsey yeah that's right oh yeah oh yeah like he was he's the young
00:07:48.060 guy like these are all the old guys but yeah they they were doing their thing and saying you know
00:07:52.380 they were always arguing that oh like i remember christopher hitchens was always like oh no man
00:07:56.800 man can be good without god we we can have virtue without god and in in those days in the early
00:08:03.840 2000s you you could say stuff like that right you could say uh because you could you could just be
00:08:10.160 naive and think, oh no, we got, we got all of this social capital and a fairly virtuous, stable,
00:08:15.760 well-ordered society just randomly. It just, it just appeared out of nowhere because that's how
00:08:20.760 human beings are. And today, you know, in year of our Lord, 2023, um, they can't make that same
00:08:27.940 argument anymore, uh, that the world is actually very brutal, brutal place. Um, you know, even just
00:08:34.080 the idea of being able to have a a society where i come from very small town and growing up at least
00:08:42.280 nobody would lock their doors a lot of people still don't they don't lock their car doors and
00:08:46.100 and when i went and lived in bigger cities you know i tell people this that's where that's what
00:08:51.460 people do there uh they couldn't they couldn't fathom that like how could you not lock your home
00:08:56.300 when you leave like you're gonna get robbed um and uh and that's that's that's what's happened
00:09:02.000 across our entire civilization. You used to be able to have very safe communities where people
00:09:09.480 could live in peace. And that didn't happen by accident. That kind of world was built across a
00:09:15.340 millennia of Christian discipleship. And we've burned through that very quickly, especially in
00:09:19.940 the last 20 years. And so this idea that man could be good without God, well, that's a much
00:09:29.960 harder argument for these people to make and and people are beginning to see this now that you you
00:09:35.380 actually need the the capital that's been built up over generations to um to be able to have a
00:09:42.020 functioning stable society and and it's gone right gone and and so the question is and this is this
00:09:47.560 stuff we'll get into over you know all of these episodes that we're doing is how do you how do you
00:09:53.560 as an individual right what can what can one man do you know in a world that's gone insane right
00:09:59.540 What can one man do in a world that is, you know, burns down cathedrals that took us, you know, two centuries to build, right?
00:10:06.440 I think that, like, the burning of Notre Dame is kind of a, almost like a visual symbol of what has occurred, where here's this cathedral, you know, hundreds of years to finally complete, and most of it burns down in a single day.
00:10:22.940 And that's trash world.
00:10:26.040 Right.
00:10:26.160 That's what we've done, is this beautiful thing, this beautiful structure our ancestors toiled over.
00:10:32.900 They didn't even get to see it finished and see the glory of this thing.
00:10:38.380 It can go quickly.
00:10:40.480 Right.
00:10:40.600 So it isn't just tangible material wealth, which is the obvious one.
00:10:45.400 It's everything.
00:10:46.980 It's having a society where people put their shopping carts back in the cart corral, and that's just assumed, right?
00:10:52.860 Uh, things like little, like even little tiny things like that, where you go to the, you
00:10:57.440 go to the fast food place and you expect to get good service or a restaurant and the person
00:11:02.740 to like refill your drinks.
00:11:04.360 Um, yeah, no, Votie Bauckham said, I remember doing an interview with him and he said, uh,
00:11:08.140 you can tell, you know, what religion and what kind of like Christian capital society
00:11:13.020 has, um, when you come to a four way stop, you know, like you can tell, like, uh, has
00:11:18.020 Christendom been here before, you know, or, or has it not like what, you know, what is
00:11:22.440 just the mindset. Is there law? Is there order? Is there consideration? All those kinds of things.
00:11:27.020 And so, yeah, we're living in trash world. We're living in a world that is quickly burning up the
00:11:31.420 Capitol because in part, it's like we refuse to recognize where it came from because we don't
00:11:38.220 want to pay homage to Christ. We don't want to kiss the sun. We don't want to honor God and say
00:11:42.440 that, well, this Capitol came from generations and generations of people fearing the Lord
00:11:46.800 and living in obedience to his commands. And so we're pretending that it just fell out of the sky.
00:11:51.660 We're going to accredit everything to the inventions and innovations of man,
00:11:56.440 rather than recognizing that these inventions and innovations came from a
00:12:00.600 Christian worldview, acknowledging God.
00:12:02.640 And so that's, you know, that's some of the fakeness,
00:12:04.460 but to talk about a little bit of the gayness, I want to do.
00:12:06.780 Let me just say this too, one thing,
00:12:08.100 because it's one thing that you reminded me of,
00:12:11.100 it seems to be accelerating too.
00:12:12.940 Yeah.
00:12:13.180 So, and it kind of reminds me, I think it's, it might've been Hemingway.
00:12:16.360 They asked him how he went broke and he said, you know,
00:12:18.620 little by little and then all at once.
00:12:20.100 Right.
00:12:20.440 Yeah.
00:12:20.680 You know what I mean?
00:12:21.180 And it certainly seems like that's happening, you know, where we're over time we've been engineered into this fakeness and all that capital that you're talking about is kind of, you know, been, you know, we've been taking it out, not depositing anything back in.
00:12:34.260 And now it's like we got almost nothing.
00:12:38.380 What do we have?
00:12:39.000 Like there's there's very little capital left.
00:12:41.660 Right.
00:12:42.820 So it's just it seems to be accelerating.
00:12:44.480 And I think lots of people have picked up on that recently.
00:12:48.200 Right.
00:12:48.360 Which is a grace.
00:12:49.100 Like I've told, you know, people, and I know you guys have probably said the same, but like 2020 was a mercy from the Lord in the sense that things got worse, but they got worse finally bad enough and quick enough to where, you know, maybe somebody would notice.
00:13:02.240 And back to back.
00:13:03.120 And back to back, exactly.
00:13:04.380 All over like a year.
00:13:05.580 Yep.
00:13:05.780 And so that really was a mercy.
00:13:07.320 So, you know, the fake factor is there.
00:13:09.680 So trash world, two big components.
00:13:11.600 It's a fake world.
00:13:12.760 It's not real.
00:13:14.160 We're pretending, but also it's, as you said, it's a gay world.
00:13:17.620 And so in this, I'm just going to go ahead and read a portion. In the 1980s, as the AIDS epidemic
00:13:22.960 was at its height, the leftist French philosopher, Michel Foucault, nevertheless, continued to
00:13:29.320 regularly attend bathhouse orgies and homosexual sadomasochistic clubs. He famously wrote,
00:13:37.300 sex is worth dying for. He meant what he said. He died of AIDS in 1984. See, for the homosexual,
00:13:45.880 insatiable desires must be pursued even knowing it will cost him his life in economic terms he is
00:13:54.820 the ultimate high time preference man the ultimate high time preference man he only lives in the
00:14:02.900 present present there is no thought for the future he is quite obviously incapable of pursuing
00:14:09.580 offspring. He is willing to cut off any and all social relations that prevent him from pursuing
00:14:16.080 his predilections. In short, the homosexual is both the apex consumer and the easiest personality
00:14:24.120 to manipulate and lord over. That's our society. People are easy to manipulate because we've been
00:14:33.700 reduced to our basis desires. It's all about vice. It's not about virtue. We call vice a virtue.
00:14:40.980 We call virtue a vice. People want what they want. They want it now, want supersede actual needs,
00:14:48.100 in part because we refuse to acknowledge what are the true needs of humanity because
00:14:52.220 we've rejected theology, the study of God, who God is, and so therefore we're off on our
00:14:56.980 anthropology, who man is. Therefore, we can't define what man actually needs to thrive as an
00:15:02.520 individual and in a society. And so if we don't actually know who God is, therefore we don't know
00:15:07.200 who man is, therefore we don't know what man requires, then it's just, okay, forget what man
00:15:11.820 requires. What does man desire? What is this man, me? What do I want? I want it. I want it now. And
00:15:17.420 I live for that. And it doesn't matter. Who cares about what it's going to do to me in the long run
00:15:22.000 and much less, you know, what it's going to do to my descendants. All right. I'm just going to say
00:15:27.780 it this show is fantastic you know it's fantastic i know it's fantastic but i'm willing to admit
00:15:32.900 there is one singular problem the waiting zone right you got to wait a whole week for each new
00:15:39.180 episode of this show to drop on fridays at 4 p.m central time unless you go on over to patreon.com
00:15:47.220 forward slash right response ministries and then you'll be able to binge watch every single episode
00:15:54.140 of an entire season all in one day so this is a season-based show right the whole idea is a deep
00:16:01.740 dive on one singular topic so that you know everything there is to know each season comes
00:16:08.300 out in a quarter right so a three-month period anywhere from probably eight to 12 episodes in a
00:16:14.320 season and the moment that the first episode of a new season drops to the public then you can go
00:16:19.780 over to patreon.com forward slash right response ministries and watch all of those episodes
00:16:26.600 without having to wait week by week by week for the next episode to publicly drop so you know what
00:16:32.940 to do don't waste any more time binge watch the whole season today so it's not just about men
00:16:40.600 having sex with other men no gayness goes way beyond that yeah right yeah yeah absolutely yeah
00:16:46.040 So when you use the term, and that's kind of, you know, the title that we're kind of
00:16:49.640 playing around with this episode, you know, it's proposed, we'll see what it actually
00:16:52.560 ends up being.
00:16:53.520 But the title is, you know, Trash World, Fake and Gay, but then saying how this, you know,
00:16:59.220 actually seeped into the church, how evangelicals are gay and that they've become spiritual
00:17:06.780 homosexuals, that they become, and what we mean by that is not that they actually are
00:17:11.840 sexually attracted to the same sex, but we're saying that evangelicals by and large,
00:17:16.040 sadly to our shame uh we've become fruitless yeah we've become fruitless yeah yeah we've adopted
00:17:22.820 this the same mindset and lifestyle um that that the homosexual has i mean that's that's what our
00:17:29.860 culture has has become is is to a fruitless society that um lives to consume right whatever
00:17:38.120 produces and immediately consumes right that's that's the kind of of of world that we live in
00:17:44.080 a day. And, and it, of course, like within the church and within, you know, uh, you know,
00:17:50.020 both regular evangelical churches and, and, you know, the big Eva on high, that kind of
00:17:55.380 influences everything. Um, it gets dressed up, you know, it gets dressed up as in, in
00:18:01.240 very holy pietistic language. Like you can put lipstick on that pig really well. And,
00:18:06.980 uh, and you see that, I mean, you see it, especially, um, over the last 10 or 15 years
00:18:12.680 where people will talk about the gift of singleness and how singleness is so great
00:18:18.800 and so wonderful. And like, why are they saying this? Who are they saying this to? They're saying
00:18:22.720 it to the young 20, 30 something year old people who have jobs, have careers, things like that,
00:18:30.740 and have a little bit of income. And instead of forming families, instead of getting married
00:18:36.480 and having children, they don't for whatever reason. Maybe they can't find a spouse. Maybe
00:18:42.260 they don't want to find a spouse. And so it gives them this kind of cover of you're perfectly fine
00:18:47.220 the way you are. Just go pursue your life. Go, go on vacations, have fun, you know, go have brunch
00:18:55.020 with your friends every, on the weekends and take pictures of the, of the food and put it on
00:19:00.380 Instagram. Like that, that's a, that's a perfectly wonderful, wholly fulfilling lifestyle. And well,
00:19:07.240 you know, Jesus never got married. Paul never got married. So you're just like them. And then so
00:19:11.740 they can dress it up that way, but really what it is, is, is giving license to this, the same
00:19:17.760 thing that we're talking about, a society that is intentionally fruitless, that is intentionally
00:19:23.420 consumerist and hyper consumerist where you're, you're not producing anything for descendants
00:19:30.560 for any, any, any, you know any culture, right. Even, even going back to, to some of the stuff
00:19:37.500 we already talked about you see the people who who lose their minds over um over uh christian
00:19:45.280 culture right um and or cultural christianity rather right yeah uh and and they they they
00:19:52.080 hate it i mean you like famously russell moore uh decried you know decried it in i think the
00:19:57.180 new york times or one of a publication yep and i remember and said oh mayberry leads to hell just
00:20:02.540 as swiftly as gamora and and he thought that was such a clever great line yeah it was stupid it's
00:20:07.280 like, I want to live in Mayberry. I don't want to live in Gamora. Yes, people go to hell in both
00:20:13.540 places, but for very different reasons. And so you see this, it's like, no, we can let the
00:20:22.080 Christian capital burn down. We can burn through all of that. And that's good because that's good
00:20:26.820 for the church because persecution is great. But one of the big differences between Sodom
00:20:32.200 and Mayberry is not just that they go to hell for different reasons, but the way that the people
00:20:37.200 who are going to hell treat the people who are going to heaven right like in sodom you know like
00:20:41.580 the way that you know the way that lot gets treated right so like they're they're you know
00:20:46.680 in a bad city or a good city there's going to be you know people who are unregenerate there's going
00:20:51.260 to be people who are um and that's not even to get into the percentages and numbers because i think
00:20:55.840 in a good city i think that actually does lend uh towards uh more people actually being born again
00:21:01.420 by grace alone. But aside from the numbers, the people, whatever it is, the people who are
00:21:07.780 regenerate, the people who are God's elect, who are going to heaven, Mayberry is going to allow
00:21:12.680 them to live in a heavenly way with far less persecution and opposition than Sodom is going
00:21:19.120 to allow Lot and his daughters to live. So it's just categorically different. How is that not a
00:21:24.200 net positive, especially when you have children? Like to think, you know, it's like I have kids,
00:21:29.240 I'm not just thinking about, um, the life to come that, that is premier and it matters immensely,
00:21:35.080 but I'm also thinking about my children, their physical welfare here and now I'm thinking about
00:21:40.360 where can I raise them, where, uh, where they're going to be protected, where they're safe and
00:21:44.420 where I'm even allowed to raise them and, and where there won't be taken away from me, you
00:21:48.480 know, and all those kinds of things. So. Yeah. And, and, and, and so much of it is, you know,
00:21:52.440 if you're, if you're burning through this, this, uh, this Christian, the capital of,
00:21:56.780 cultural Christianity. I mean, God uses means, right? I always tell people, you know, when they
00:22:02.420 ask, well, why are you a Christian? It's like, well, I was raised by a Christian family and
00:22:06.520 most of the people around me were Christians growing up. Christian, at least, you know,
00:22:13.680 moral practice pervaded the whole society, whether or not people actually believed in Jesus or not.
00:22:18.360 And all of those things are means that God used to bring me to him.
00:22:24.780 And if I was not raised in a Christian family and everybody I know everywhere hated Jesus,
00:22:31.140 that's a lot harder.
00:22:33.360 Absolutely.
00:22:34.300 It always boggles my mind when guys like Russell Moore say stuff like that, because
00:22:38.540 they almost want to shame you if your story of how you became a Christian is something
00:22:42.300 like what you just said, that that's not legitimate.
00:22:44.600 You're not a legitimate Christian if that's how you came.
00:22:46.720 That's just not how it works in reality.
00:22:48.900 I've told you a little bit about my story on the drive here.
00:22:51.000 and you know I was not always a believer you know and I did a lot of degenerate things
00:22:55.000 but when I you know came to the end of myself I ran to the church because that's how I was raised
00:23:02.820 my father raised me in that context my brother and my you know my sister my mother all my family
00:23:08.680 they were Christians and so when I knew that I was a disaster and the final straw you know won't
00:23:13.740 talk about that that's what I did I went to the church because I knew that's what that's how I
00:23:20.380 was raised there's everything good about that and in mayberry there's going to be people that do the
00:23:25.860 exact same thing and in sodom their their lot is is pretty bleak yeah if they come to the end of
00:23:32.860 themselves because yeah because usually rock bottom for them is something disastrous and
00:23:36.400 where do they go there's nowhere to go there's nowhere to go yeah right yeah that's a great
00:23:39.720 point yeah precisely yeah so with all that you know i think about like um well going back to
00:23:45.880 the singleness for a second like so that's i mean that's been a huge lie singleness is a gift just
00:23:49.760 for the record uh biblically speaking singleness is not a gift celibacy is a gift so um and there's
00:23:55.840 a lot of people who think what's the difference joel well the difference is that uh if you're
00:24:00.860 single and masturbating uh then you don't have a gift yeah you don't have that you know you don't
00:24:05.100 have the gift of you shouldn't be single yeah like the one who burns and and that's another thing is
00:24:09.280 like the bible what it prescribes uh to the problem of lust is uh marriage and if you're
00:24:14.520 really struggling with lust then the bible says marry faster um you know that that you actually
00:24:19.120 should pursue marriage. And right now you've got a bunch of, thanks to the Gospel Coalition and
00:24:23.260 some of these teachers, you've got a bunch of single individuals, men and women, who actually
00:24:29.140 have been talked into thinking that what they have is a gift. But at the end of the day,
00:24:34.480 many of them are not living in sexual purity. And so they're not actually, they don't actually
00:24:42.340 have the gift of celibacy. They shouldn't be single. That burning, that passion should be
00:24:48.080 a driving force and there's a million reasons why single singleness is prolongated in our culture
00:24:53.000 today and we'll get to some of those but you know part of it is economics part of it is pornography
00:24:57.000 part of it you know there's but part of it is bad teaching in the church uh the world the world
00:25:02.140 doesn't really want when you think of again that the fakeness and the gayness you know being uh you
00:25:07.340 you can't reproduce you're fruitless uh you're on it's yolo you only live once you're living for
00:25:11.800 this generation this is the apex of humanity we've climaxed and we're just we just want another good
00:25:17.180 20 to 50 years and then we don't care if all of humanity ceases to exist. That's the mindset of
00:25:23.280 the world. But that has seeped into the church as well, I think, in many ways. And so when you think
00:25:29.040 even for a team of elders or deacons, a pastor, if he persuades everybody in his church that they
00:25:37.020 should get married and that they should have children and that if the Lord would bless them
00:25:41.900 towards this end, they should seek to have many children and they shouldn't rely on the public
00:25:45.520 school system to raise those children for them. So that means they're going to be paying extra
00:25:49.620 tuition for a Christian school or not be able to rely on a second income from mom because she's
00:25:54.980 going to be in the home homeschooling. All those have numbers attached to them. There's math
00:26:00.760 involved with that. And what you see, all the math associated with all this stuff,
00:26:05.320 it is definitely difficult to do the things that you're saying, to actually have a family,
00:26:10.380 to have a household, to have children, and to not rely on the dual income like you're saying.
00:26:15.520 this is extremely difficult and this book that's an intentional thing that it's become difficult
00:26:21.620 right it's not just random because we know all the stories from our parents about what their
00:26:27.480 house costs when they bought it and what they made you know my dad's a nuclear engineer and he
00:26:32.720 told me what he made you know when i was a kid and it just completely blew my mind i mean that's
00:26:38.060 what an administrative assistant makes now or a desk worker a receptionist and yet you know we had
00:26:45.300 a decent standard of living it was more money he made he made less but in real it was more yeah
00:26:51.620 buying power it was infinitely more way more and so part of the part of the trash world and the
00:26:57.120 fakeness and the gayness of it is this artificial way that it's been become difficult to actually
00:27:02.540 have a real life right yeah you don't you don't see it it's not like um it it's not like it's
00:27:09.360 this overt thing where, oh, now, now you, you know, you went to college and you have your career
00:27:16.700 and all of this, and now you should be able to afford a home and be able to get married and
00:27:21.140 have children because that's what your parents did. And, and now it takes, it takes for many
00:27:27.060 people that second income just to be able to keep their head above water. Uh, and that, like you
00:27:31.400 said, that's by design. They've, they've sapped things away. It isn't like, you know, now, you
00:27:36.720 Now the tax rate is at 90% when it was at 30 before, but functionally it is.
00:27:42.300 They've sucked away so much wealth through inflation and through various other economic
00:27:49.440 degradations that you see the dollar amount that you make compared to what your dad made
00:27:55.000 in like 1985.
00:27:56.880 And you think, I make so much more money than my dad made when he was my age, but you don't
00:28:03.340 at all.
00:28:03.920 You make way less in real terms, and that's not by accident.
00:28:08.200 They want people to be stuck in this way where you're – where any – you barely have any expendable income.
00:28:15.620 The hope of, yeah, living how human beings have lived for millennia of having a wife and children is just out of reach.
00:28:24.600 It's something – I'm never going to be able to get to that point.
00:28:27.620 They want you to think that.
00:28:29.240 They want you to think that way of life is impossible, so don't even try.
00:28:33.920 spend all of your discretionary income on Uber Eats and Netflix and OnlyFans.
00:28:39.240 And that's good for them because they get all of that consumable money right away
00:28:46.260 rather than you squirreling it away and investing it, putting it toward a house, things like that.
00:28:52.200 That's money that's off limits to the people in power they don't want.
