Speaker 2: It's been a while.

24
00:01:22,270 --> 00:01:24,809
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. What we need to do, Abby, we

25
00:01:24,850 --> 00:01:27,690
Speaker 3: need to come up with like some contraption of just

26
00:01:28,350 --> 00:01:30,870
Speaker 3: when Abby and I like get on the phone, we

27
00:01:30,910 --> 00:01:36,950
Speaker 3: just need to like record those episodes. Like these conversations.

28
00:01:37,530 --> 00:01:41,330
Speaker 3: We'd have like the trending top 10 podcast ever. I

29
00:01:41,370 --> 00:01:42,830
Speaker 3: can guarantee you that.

30
00:01:44,790 --> 00:01:45,190
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:01:46,209 --> 00:01:47,380
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.

32
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:52,660
Speaker 4: We're just, Literally, sometimes I like, you know, the only

33
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,740
Speaker 4: bad thing about a podcast, Abby, especially for our people

34
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 4: who listen just like on Apple and Spotify. The one

35
00:01:59,110 --> 00:02:02,590
Speaker 4: thing that I really miss is when we always used

36
00:02:02,610 --> 00:02:05,510
Speaker 4: to go live on Facebook because everybody could see us.

37
00:02:05,650 --> 00:02:08,150
Speaker 4: And I feel that's just like so much more personal.

38
00:02:08,169 --> 00:02:08,990
Speaker 1: I know.

39
00:02:09,010 --> 00:02:13,850
Speaker 4: And like, you know, we very rarely looked cute or

40
00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 4: dressed up and people just loved seeing us looking halfway.

41
00:02:18,490 --> 00:02:23,399
Speaker 4: Homeless looking and no makeup and messy buns and tangled hair.

42
00:02:23,419 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: That's how I look right now.

43
00:02:25,180 --> 00:02:29,220
Speaker 3: Both of us. I'm describing both of us right now.

44
00:02:30,100 --> 00:02:33,830
Speaker 4: Abby, I wore this yesterday. Well, I did shower mid-afternoon.

45
00:02:33,870 --> 00:02:36,810
Speaker 4: I put it on mid-afternoon after my shower.

46
00:02:37,150 --> 00:02:40,169
Speaker 3: Wore it to bed. It's 1130 the next morning. I'm

47
00:02:40,190 --> 00:02:42,410
Speaker 3: still rocking it. It's still holding up good.

48
00:02:43,030 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah.

49
00:02:44,780 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 3: I was like.

50
00:02:45,889 --> 00:02:48,089
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm like, you know what, I'm going to do

51
00:02:48,130 --> 00:02:54,419
Speaker 1: my hair at, you know, one day. So that way

52
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,940
Speaker 1: it'll look good for like several days, you know, so

53
00:02:58,970 --> 00:03:00,510
Speaker 1: I don't have to like fix it.

54
00:03:01,060 --> 00:03:01,220
Speaker 3: Yeah.

55
00:03:01,419 --> 00:03:03,899
Speaker 4: I don't know how that works for some of you women.

56
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,700
Speaker 4: And you all can wash your hair just like, I

57
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:07,380
Speaker 4: don't know.

58
00:03:07,460 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 3: Once or twice a week. So I understand.

59
00:03:08,780 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's like, oh, I've got a good outfit.

60
00:03:11,380 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: So I'm going to really wear this out for several days.

61
00:03:17,260 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 3: I need to wear this out as much as possible, literally. Oh,

62
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,260
Speaker 3: my gosh. It's so wild.

63
00:03:25,580 --> 00:03:29,139
Speaker 4: Well, for both of us, I know we have mothers

Speaker 1: So like a couple of days ago he comes home

89
00:04:50,339 --> 00:04:54,219
Speaker 1: and it's on yellow, which means he had like a warning. Okay.

90
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,700
Speaker 2: Okay. And which is not Fulton's disposition.

91
00:04:58,839 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: Okay.

92
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:01,460
Speaker 3: Other kids. Yeah.

93
00:05:01,500 --> 00:05:03,260
Speaker 2: They were on yellow a lot. Okay.

94
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:03,619
Speaker 1: Right.

95
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,460
Speaker 2: Fulton is like always on the great choices.

96
00:05:07,060 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 3: The little most joyful kid in the universe.

97
00:05:11,180 --> 00:05:12,420
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay.

98
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:17,060
Speaker 1: And so then it says homework question mark on the,

99
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:18,740
Speaker 1: on the yellow thing.

100
00:05:18,779 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 2: And I'm like, what do you mean? Like doing homework.

101
00:05:23,060 --> 00:05:23,360

Speaker 3: My seven-year-old that you have for eight hours.

105
00:05:29,510 --> 00:05:29,730
Speaker 1: What?

106
00:05:29,890 --> 00:05:30,690
Speaker 2: Yeah.

107
00:05:30,710 --> 00:05:31,090
Speaker 1: I don't know.

108
00:05:31,180 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 2: We're doing the homework.

109
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:32,540
Speaker 1: Okay.

110
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

111
00:05:33,860 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: So we've been doing the sheets that have been coming home. Well,

112
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: I didn't know that there was a spelling book that

113
00:05:40,690 --> 00:05:43,030
Speaker 1: was coming home every night because I had not seen

114
00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:45,170
Speaker 1: it in his backpack. I hadn't seen it in his folder.

115
00:05:45,330 --> 00:05:47,070
Speaker 3: Yeah. And so.

116
00:05:48,029 --> 00:05:50,570
Speaker 1: I'm just doing the worksheets that are coming home. We're

117
00:05:50,589 --> 00:05:52,790
Speaker 1: doing the worksheets, sending it back, doing the worksheets, sending

118
00:05:52,830 --> 00:05:53,150
Speaker 1: it back.

119
00:05:54,210 --> 00:05:56,900
Speaker 2: Okay. So then it's like homework, question mark. So I

120
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 2: email the teacher. I'm like, Hey.

121
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,060
Speaker 3: Hey girl, fill the in.

122
00:06:03,060 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: I don't know what you mean. Like we're doing the,

123
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: we're doing the homework. Like, am I missing something?

124
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: She's like, yes, there's a spelling book that, you know,

125
00:06:14,620 --> 00:06:19,830
Speaker 1: he has and, you know, it's not coming back with him.

126
00:06:19,850 --> 00:06:23,250
Speaker 1: He has spelling homework every night. And, you know, he's not,

127
00:06:23,290 --> 00:06:26,210
Speaker 1: and she's like, he's such a sweet little boy. And he,

128
00:06:26,910 --> 00:06:30,650
Speaker 1: you know, he's smart and he's understanding all the math concepts,

129
00:06:30,690 --> 00:06:33,990
Speaker 1: but he's just not bringing his homework home. And I'm like,

130
00:06:34,589 --> 00:06:39,010
Speaker 1: or bringing his homework back. And I'm like, okay, well,

131
00:06:40,930 --> 00:06:46,710
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, well, we have one solid week of school.

132
00:06:47,540 --> 00:06:54,409
Speaker 1: Under our belts. And homework is a brand new concept, okay?

133
00:06:54,430 --> 00:06:59,250
Speaker 1: Because we did not do homework last year. So I'm like,

134
00:06:59,370 --> 00:07:03,330
Speaker 1: maybe let's settle down, okay?

135
00:07:03,730 --> 00:07:07,810
Speaker 3: Literally, Karen, let's just take a breath.

136
00:07:07,830 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: Let's take a moment. Let's take a beat, okay?

137
00:07:12,420 --> 00:07:14,890
Speaker 3: On the warnings, all right? On the....

138
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:22,020
Speaker 2: I mean, the yellow flashing. I'm like, can we take

139
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:22,700
Speaker 2: a minute?

140
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,740
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't even know what spelling book you're

141
00:07:25,780 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: talking about.

142
00:07:26,340 --> 00:07:30,260
Speaker 2: So I'm thinking it's like a workbook.

143
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:31,180
Speaker 1: Okay.

144
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:36,100
Speaker 2: Like I'm thinking, oh, it's like a, I don't know,

145
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: like a curriculum workbook. We've got to work something every day.

146
00:07:40,100 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: Okay. Right. So I'm like, I'm happy to replace it.

147
00:07:43,890 --> 00:07:46,070
Speaker 1: I don't even know what you're talking about. I have

148
00:07:46,110 --> 00:07:51,380
Speaker 1: not seen it. Like, whatever. I'm like, I'll pay for

149
00:07:51,460 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: another one.

150
00:07:52,700 --> 00:07:55,060
Speaker 2: She's like, no, I'm going to send another one home

151
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:55,900
Speaker 2: in his backpack.

152
00:07:57,580 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: Okay. Girl.

153
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: The next day. So yesterday he comes home.

154
00:08:03,490 --> 00:08:07,980
Speaker 1: It's a 25 cent composition notebook.

155
00:08:08,250 --> 00:08:09,619
Speaker 3: Oh, I know what you're talking about.

156
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,790
Speaker 1: Yeah. It has a sticker with his name on it.

157
00:08:13,020 --> 00:08:18,500
Speaker 1: Fulton spelling. I'm like, okay, we're doing all of this

158
00:08:18,820 --> 00:08:21,970
Speaker 1: back and forth over a composition notebook that I could have.

159
00:08:21,950 --> 00:08:23,030
Speaker 2: Run down to Walmart.

160
00:08:23,390 --> 00:08:23,670
Speaker 1: Sure.

161
00:08:23,910 --> 00:08:24,430
Speaker 2: To buy.

162
00:08:24,670 --> 00:08:27,190
Speaker 1: And all he's supposed to do is write his alphabet

163
00:08:27,350 --> 00:08:30,450
Speaker 1: every day in it. Oh my gosh.

164
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 3: I'm like, And we're sounding the alarms.

165
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: We're sounding the alarms and he's getting bad behavior marks.

166
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 3: Right.

167
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 2: Over this.

168
00:08:41,940 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 4: And that's what, you know, and as a former teacher

169
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 4: and the lowest grade I taught, like I taught special

170
00:08:49,500 --> 00:08:51,740
Speaker 4: ed sixth, seventh and eighth grade. And then I taught

171
00:08:51,820 --> 00:08:54,660
Speaker 4: regular ed fifth grade, which was by far my favorite.

172
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,450
Speaker 4: And then I taught regular ed second grade. So second

173
00:08:58,470 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 4: grade was the lowest, the youngest kiddos I taught. And

174
00:09:03,470 --> 00:09:06,530
Speaker 4: they were a little sweet peas, but like, I would never,

175
00:09:06,610 --> 00:09:13,070
Speaker 4: I just think that's so like, I really very rarely

176
00:09:13,110 --> 00:09:15,510
Speaker 4: gave my second graders homework and I was never one

177
00:09:15,550 --> 00:09:19,330
Speaker 4: of those teachers. I cannot take people who give busy

178
00:09:19,370 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 4: work or who nitpick like that. Like, do you know

179
00:09:22,220 --> 00:09:25,740
Speaker 4: what I mean? Like causing this, this, this, this big thing.

180
00:09:26,179 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 4: And I'm also, you know, as a teacher, you have

181
00:09:28,059 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 4: to be very aware of like, especially someone like so

182
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,700
Speaker 4: joyful like Fulton, or let's take a child completely opposite

183
00:09:35,740 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 4: who's struggling and sad a lot.

184
00:09:38,140 --> 00:09:39,060
Speaker 3: Either way, if.

185
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,230
Speaker 4: You're starting out the school year like that, like that

186
00:09:44,250 --> 00:09:47,630
Speaker 4: can like put a damper, you know what I mean?

187
00:09:48,010 --> 00:09:50,710
Speaker 3: On a kid's like, oh man, I'm already messing up

188
00:09:50,809 --> 00:09:55,910
Speaker 3: and I'm getting yellow and my teacher's upset and blah, blah, blah.

189
00:09:55,990 --> 00:09:56,630
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

190
00:09:56,650 --> 00:10:01,580
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't like it. I'm like- yeah, I, and

191
00:10:01,620 --> 00:10:04,100
Speaker 1: they have to color in their own square. Right.

192
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 3: Right.

193
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,330
Speaker 1: So he's having to color in this like yellow square.

194
00:10:09,350 --> 00:10:14,309
Speaker 1: And I'm like, he doesn't even know like why he

195
00:10:15,570 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: doesn't even know because he's like, I'm bringing home the homework.

196
00:10:20,660 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: We're doing the homework.

197
00:10:23,260 --> 00:10:28,310
Speaker 3: Poor little guy is like, hmm, why am I doing this?

198
00:10:28,610 --> 00:10:34,550
Speaker 1: To me, I'm like, that's a situation where that's like

199
00:10:34,590 --> 00:10:37,589
Speaker 1: an email to the parent or something. Don't make the

200
00:10:37,650 --> 00:10:38,890
Speaker 1: kid feel bad.

201
00:10:38,910 --> 00:10:39,870
Speaker 2: I don't know.

202
00:10:40,650 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: And I'm super sensitive about Fulton because he's just pure

203
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,940
Speaker 1: joy all the time. Totally.

204
00:10:46,179 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 3: Our babies. There's just something different about the babies.

205
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:50,780
Speaker 2: This was a worry.

206
00:10:50,820 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: This was a worry for me, though, about Fulton. Like,

207
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:00,570
Speaker 1: going into, like, going out of kindergarten into first grade. Like,

208
00:11:01,429 --> 00:11:05,689
Speaker 1: I do not want there to be, like, any sort

209
00:11:05,730 --> 00:11:10,390
Speaker 1: of damper on his.

210
00:11:09,510 --> 00:11:10,709
Speaker 2: Spirit, you know?

211
00:11:10,730 --> 00:11:13,410
Speaker 1: Right. And I don't know if that's just being, like,

212
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,260
Speaker 1: I don't want to be one of those like overprotective

213
00:11:16,380 --> 00:11:18,700
Speaker 1: moms or whatever. Like I want him to grow up.

214
00:11:18,820 --> 00:11:22,780
Speaker 1: I want him to, you know, not be like a baby.

215
00:11:22,870 --> 00:11:24,630
Speaker 1: Like I want him to grow up, but also like,

216
00:11:25,270 --> 00:11:28,050
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just want to continue to like

217
00:11:28,230 --> 00:11:32,330
Speaker 1: harness that just beautiful joy.

218
00:11:31,990 --> 00:11:33,209
Speaker 2: That he has, you know?

219
00:11:33,270 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 4: You know, literally, which it's, it's kind of fitting, obviously

220
00:11:38,059 --> 00:11:41,100
Speaker 4: very different ages, but I just saw Tim Tebow and

221
00:11:41,140 --> 00:11:44,569
Speaker 4: his wife with their little girl, who's still a baby.

222
00:11:44,590 --> 00:11:47,729
Speaker 4: And they did this interview and they said one of

223
00:11:47,770 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 4: their biggest prayers for her every day when they pray

224
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,300
Speaker 4: over her, aside from of course, protection and safety is

225
00:11:54,400 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 4: they both said they pray that her joy is always

226
00:12:00,860 --> 00:12:05,420
Speaker 4: kept as she grows, you know, throughout childhood. And like,

227
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 4: you know, Abby, you and I have, you know, our

228
00:12:10,020 --> 00:12:16,670
Speaker 4: oldest kiddos, we both have daughters that are, 18 and 19.

229
00:12:16,670 --> 00:12:20,570
Speaker 3: And we have children all the way through age seven.

230
00:12:20,590 --> 00:12:25,930
Speaker 3: And somewhere in there, and oh my gosh, I really

231
00:12:25,950 --> 00:12:28,030
Speaker 3: never thought of it like this. I'm getting emotional.

232
00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 4: Somewhere in there was the last time we ever picked

233
00:12:33,660 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 4: them up. It was the last time they ever believed

234
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,500
Speaker 4: in Santa. It was the last time that they ever

235
00:12:41,580 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 4: got giddy over X, Y, and Z. There was like

236
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,870
Speaker 4: a certain, you know, it was like, do you know

237
00:12:49,890 --> 00:12:50,449
Speaker 4: what I mean?

238
00:12:50,510 --> 00:12:53,370
Speaker 3: And we, even in the Bible, we see about childlike faith.

239
00:12:53,510 --> 00:12:54,270
Speaker 2: There's the wonder.

240
00:12:54,850 --> 00:12:55,670
Speaker 3: It's the wonder.

241
00:12:55,950 --> 00:12:58,630
Speaker 4: And like this, it like, you see like young children,

242
00:12:58,670 --> 00:13:03,270
Speaker 4: the innocence, it's like this joy that nobody can steal.

243
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:04,290
Speaker 3: Right.

244
00:13:04,429 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 4: It's like, it's like heavenly given to them. And yet,

245
00:13:12,290 --> 00:13:15,050
Speaker 4: One day, you know, it's like we can't keep them

246
00:13:15,090 --> 00:13:19,650
Speaker 4: in a bubble. But at some point, it's maybe not

247
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 4: all at once. And for some children, it is stolen

248
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 4: all at once. And others, I think it's like, you know,

249
00:13:25,380 --> 00:13:29,340
Speaker 4: ounces are taken from this situation. And this person has,

250
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,900
Speaker 4: you know, taken 4%.

251
00:13:31,140 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 3: Of their joy.

252
00:13:31,780 --> 00:13:34,970
Speaker 4: Or this situation that was traumatic. You know, they lost

253
00:13:35,510 --> 00:13:37,070
Speaker 4: a grandparent or whatever.

254
00:13:37,090 --> 00:13:37,620
Speaker 1: You know, and....

255
00:13:40,990 --> 00:13:44,929
Speaker 4: And I think that's one of the biggest distinguishing factors

256
00:13:45,330 --> 00:13:51,589
Speaker 4: between us as adults and our tiny children is that

257
00:13:51,770 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 4: sweet wonder, that childlike faith, that joy, you know? It's like,

258
00:13:58,420 --> 00:14:00,740
Speaker 4: you know, I always say too, because as a special ed,

259
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 4: as a former special ed teacher, they were my favorite students.

260
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 4: You know, when you look at a person, no matter

261
00:14:07,620 --> 00:14:14,100
Speaker 4: what age, who has Down syndrome- they have this joy

262
00:14:14,420 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 4: that no one can steal. And it's almost like, it's like, wow,

263
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,650
Speaker 4: like so many different times I've thought from my personal experience,

264
00:14:22,710 --> 00:14:25,830
Speaker 4: teaching them from talking with them. One of my favorite

265
00:14:25,870 --> 00:14:31,230
Speaker 4: people who works at a local grocery store, he has

266
00:14:31,270 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 4: down syndrome, like some of the happiest.

267
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,100
Speaker 3: Human beings I've ever met in my life. And they

268
00:14:38,140 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 3: know no different.

269
00:14:39,580 --> 00:14:39,740
Speaker 1: Right.

270
00:14:40,460 --> 00:14:44,540
Speaker 4: And it's like all the things that we complain about

271
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:51,130
Speaker 4: and first world problems and issues and yet they just– man,

272
00:14:51,790 --> 00:14:55,210
Speaker 4: this joy that cannot be stolen.

273
00:14:55,230 --> 00:14:56,250
Speaker 2: Yeah.

274
00:14:56,330 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 3: And it's so beautiful. And it is.

275
00:14:59,740 --> 00:15:03,620
Speaker 4: It's like– You have people whose babies are going off

276
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,750
Speaker 4: to preschool for the first time or mothers who are

277
00:15:05,780 --> 00:15:09,130
Speaker 4: taking their babies to daycare to go back to work.

278
00:15:09,170 --> 00:15:11,470
Speaker 4: And then our babies are going into first grade. Your

279
00:15:11,510 --> 00:15:16,410
Speaker 4: baby who's listening might be going off to college, whatever

280
00:15:16,430 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 4: it might be.

281
00:15:16,940 --> 00:15:23,050
Speaker 3: But it's... I think we have.

282
00:15:22,970 --> 00:15:25,190
Speaker 2: To do what we can to like protect that.

283
00:15:25,270 --> 00:15:28,430
Speaker 3: To preserve it, right? Yeah. To preserve and protect it

284
00:15:28,610 --> 00:15:29,330
Speaker 3: is best.

285
00:15:29,970 --> 00:15:32,910
Speaker 4: And when the lights go out, when some of it

286
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:33,830
Speaker 4: gets stolen, I.

287
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,620
Speaker 3: Feel like it's our job. Like how do we replenish it? Right?

288
00:15:38,900 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 4: Like how do we put more of it back into that?

289
00:15:41,540 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 4: No matter what age, you know?

290
00:15:43,860 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

291
00:15:45,620 --> 00:15:49,940
Speaker 1: And I just, I'm like, that was just such a stupid, like,

292
00:15:50,780 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: little thing.

293
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 2: And I was just like, dude, why are you pressing

294
00:15:56,330 --> 00:15:57,180
Speaker 2: so hard on this?

295
00:15:57,950 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: Right.

296
00:15:58,350 --> 00:15:58,710
Speaker 4: Right.

297
00:15:59,350 --> 00:16:03,930
Speaker 3: The composition book, not like some $ 60. Right.

298
00:16:04,130 --> 00:16:06,530
Speaker 1: I was like, why are we pushing so hard on this?

299
00:16:06,750 --> 00:16:12,510
Speaker 1: And you have him for so long every day, you know,

300
00:16:12,810 --> 00:16:18,190
Speaker 1: like I'm just, this is something I'm not going to

301
00:16:18,210 --> 00:16:20,890
Speaker 1: stress about. And that's one thing I do want to

302
00:16:20,930 --> 00:16:24,970
Speaker 1: say to parents who may be listening. You know, I

303
00:16:26,050 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: have a lot of kids in school. I'm like raising

304
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:34,940
Speaker 1: a lot of kids. I'm not a homeschool parent, but

305
00:16:34,980 --> 00:16:37,740
Speaker 1: I do want to say this to parents who have

306
00:16:37,820 --> 00:16:41,340
Speaker 1: kids in school. And there will be people that are like, oh, well,

307
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,140
Speaker 1: you just, you know, homeschool your kid if you want.

308
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,450
Speaker 1: And that's just not an option for us right now.

309
00:16:46,590 --> 00:16:49,170
Speaker 1: Like we, The school they go to is a great

310
00:16:49,210 --> 00:16:53,310
Speaker 1: school and we love it. And this is just kind

311
00:16:53,330 --> 00:16:56,170
Speaker 1: of part of the growing pains of having your kids

312
00:16:56,220 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: in school and everything and we'll figure it out. But

313
00:16:58,980 --> 00:17:05,980
Speaker 1: that is one thing I want to tell parents because

314
00:17:06,020 --> 00:17:10,810
Speaker 1: this is something that I have told my kids' teachers repeatedly.

315
00:17:11,730 --> 00:17:15,810
Speaker 1: I'm not spending a lot of time at home doing homework.

316
00:17:17,430 --> 00:17:20,430
Speaker 1: And I've been very upfront with all of my kids'

317
00:17:20,470 --> 00:17:25,460
Speaker 1: teachers about that from like day one. I'm like, you

318
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 1: have the bulk of my children's time every single day.

319
00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:33,620
Speaker 1: So when they come home to me, they're coming home

320
00:17:33,700 --> 00:17:38,670
Speaker 1: to me. They're not coming home to do schoolwork. Like

321
00:17:38,910 --> 00:17:43,290
Speaker 1: if you can't get it done at school, then it's

322
00:17:43,330 --> 00:17:43,930
Speaker 1: not getting done.

323
00:17:44,340 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 3: Finish it tomorrow.

324
00:17:45,780 --> 00:17:47,899
Speaker 1: Then we'll finish it tomorrow. Like you're going to have

325
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,350
Speaker 1: to finish it tomorrow. Like the little, like writing the

326
00:17:51,450 --> 00:17:52,850
Speaker 1: alphabet and stuff with Fulton.

327
00:17:52,869 --> 00:17:53,750
Speaker 2: I don't mind doing that.

328
00:17:53,890 --> 00:17:56,510
Speaker 1: Like, cause I, I like working with him. I like,

329
00:17:56,830 --> 00:17:59,889
Speaker 1: you know, seeing his brain work. I like, you know,

330
00:17:59,990 --> 00:18:02,429
Speaker 1: complimenting him on his penmanship. I like doing all that

331
00:18:02,470 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: kind of stuff with him. Like these little busy work

332
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: worksheets and stuff like that. Like, nah, I'm not, I'm not,

333
00:18:11,180 --> 00:18:16,909
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that. Right. Um, Because number one, it's

334
00:18:17,030 --> 00:18:22,750
Speaker 1: totally unnecessary. And you can do that in school. And

335
00:18:22,950 --> 00:18:26,030
Speaker 1: I've made that clear with all of my kids' teachers.

336
00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:30,380
Speaker 1: And I got to tell you, once you set that

337
00:18:30,430 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: boundary with the teachers, it is not a problem.

338
00:18:35,380 --> 00:18:38,980
Speaker 3: If you do it, if you're just very forthright and

339
00:18:39,020 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 3: you can do it in a respectful way.

340
00:18:40,700 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 1: Totally. Totally.

341
00:18:41,500 --> 00:18:43,899
Speaker 3: Yeah. You don't have to be whatever, you know, go

342
00:18:43,980 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 3: on a power trip about it. Yeah. They, yeah, for sure.

343
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: But you do have that ability, like as a parent

344
00:18:51,619 --> 00:18:56,810
Speaker 1: with your children in school. And I've done it, you know,

345
00:18:57,170 --> 00:18:59,830
Speaker 1: with all of my kids' teachers. I've just been very

346
00:19:00,010 --> 00:19:03,209
Speaker 1: kind about it. But I'm like, hey, my time is

347
00:19:03,250 --> 00:19:06,149
Speaker 1: my time. Your time is your time. I'm not going

348
00:19:06,170 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: to interfere in your time. I don't want you to

349
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:10,220
Speaker 1: interfere in my time.

350
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,740
Speaker 3: I'm going to throw this in there too. That's kind

351
00:19:14,790 --> 00:19:16,870
Speaker 3: of out of left field, but.

352
00:19:18,690 --> 00:19:21,190
Speaker 4: I feel like this will resonate with someone and help

353
00:19:21,250 --> 00:19:25,550
Speaker 4: someone because Abby and I both do this and our

354
00:19:25,650 --> 00:19:30,490
Speaker 4: worlds change completely. Both of us, like neither of us

355
00:19:30,550 --> 00:19:34,210
Speaker 4: having conversations about this because Abby and I didn't even

356
00:19:34,230 --> 00:19:37,690
Speaker 4: know the other existed when we had our last child,

357
00:19:37,890 --> 00:19:40,020
Speaker 4: when we had our boys, when we had Bolton and KJ, um,

358
00:19:42,670 --> 00:19:46,540
Speaker 4: But let me tell you how many of my friends,

359
00:19:46,619 --> 00:19:51,620
Speaker 4: acquaintances of people I hear in school are parents whose

360
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:57,580
Speaker 4: kids are in school who are going through vaccinations just

361
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 4: because they are quote unquote require required for that grade level.

362
00:20:04,300 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 2: Right.

363
00:20:04,700 --> 00:20:08,550
Speaker 3: Or like my kids are all in sports required for

364
00:20:08,590 --> 00:20:09,189
Speaker 3: that sport.

365
00:20:09,210 --> 00:20:09,310
Speaker 1: Right.

366
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 4: And let me tell you, now I know every state

367
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 4: has different laws, but let me tell you how incredibly

368
00:20:19,030 --> 00:20:25,189
Speaker 4: painless and easy it's been for me to literally each time,

369
00:20:27,670 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 4: like nothing has been injected into my children's bodies since 2019.

370
00:20:31,420 --> 00:20:31,860
Speaker 1: Nothing. Nothing.

371
00:20:33,770 --> 00:20:37,750
Speaker 4: Not a normal routine vaccine, not a flu shot, certainly

372
00:20:37,810 --> 00:20:41,090
Speaker 4: not whatever was given during the pandemic.

373
00:20:41,930 --> 00:20:43,130
Speaker 3: Nothing, nothing.

374
00:20:43,810 --> 00:20:49,910
Speaker 4: And God willing, nothing ever will be. Even like Kendall

375
00:20:50,010 --> 00:20:53,330
Speaker 4: just went off to college, same thing. They're like, oh,

376
00:20:54,490 --> 00:20:58,389
Speaker 4: we don't have her vaccines. They were great about it.

377
00:20:58,390 --> 00:21:02,350
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, I filled out the religious exemption.

378
00:21:04,330 --> 00:21:09,330
Speaker 4: just like I do for elementary, middle, high school. So

379
00:21:09,369 --> 00:21:13,750
Speaker 4: I did it for college even. I've never had one issue.

380
00:21:14,230 --> 00:21:14,969
Speaker 3: And a lot of.

381
00:21:14,970 --> 00:21:21,170
Speaker 4: The people that are friends or acquaintances, Abby, are also Christians.

382
00:21:21,850 --> 00:21:27,380
Speaker 4: And it's just very easy to write, oh, this goes

383
00:21:27,420 --> 00:21:34,190
Speaker 4: against our ethics and moral beliefs to inject aborted fetal

384
00:21:34,230 --> 00:21:38,750
Speaker 4: cells into my children's body, inject formaldehyde, dozens of toxins

385
00:21:38,810 --> 00:21:42,389
Speaker 4: that are, you know, extremely dangerous.

386
00:21:43,450 --> 00:21:47,510
Speaker 3: And that just goes against our family's beliefs. Never once.

387
00:21:48,090 --> 00:21:53,730
Speaker 4: And so, Abby, I think we forget as parents the

388
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 4: power we hold with our children. We shouldn't be handing

389
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,540
Speaker 4: it over to the government. We shouldn't be handing it

390
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:05,980
Speaker 4: over to the school. We it is in our hands.

391
00:22:06,460 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: Well, let me say like, even in, even in Catholic school.

392
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,780
Speaker 1: So like at our school and a lot of other

393
00:22:13,820 --> 00:22:16,090
Speaker 1: Catholic schools, not just in the state of Texas, but

394
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,149
Speaker 1: in the state of Texas and a lot of other States,

395
00:22:19,790 --> 00:22:23,830
Speaker 1: Catholic schools are not given the opportunity to have a

396
00:22:23,890 --> 00:22:25,629
Speaker 1: religious exemption from vaccines.

397
00:22:27,670 --> 00:22:31,020
Speaker 3: And you think they would be the front runners. Do

398
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:31,540
Speaker 3: you know what I mean?

399
00:22:31,970 --> 00:22:32,889
Speaker 2: That's so weird.

400
00:22:33,050 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: You put your kid in a Catholic school in the

401
00:22:36,100 --> 00:22:39,860
Speaker 1: state of Texas, you have to either have a medical

402
00:22:39,940 --> 00:22:42,419
Speaker 1: exemption or you have to give them a vaccine. You

403
00:22:42,460 --> 00:22:45,540
Speaker 1: cannot have a religious moral exemption.

404
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,770
Speaker 3: That is the most backwards thing I've ever heard.

405
00:22:48,790 --> 00:22:50,950
Speaker 2: Well, my kids are not vaccinated.

406
00:22:51,650 --> 00:22:56,190
Speaker 1: And so, you know, a lot of my friends are like, well,

407
00:22:56,330 --> 00:22:59,470
Speaker 1: I don't, you know, I don't have a medical reason.

408
00:22:59,490 --> 00:23:02,350
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, Oh, I'm like, yeah, you do.

409
00:23:04,369 --> 00:23:05,450
Speaker 3: Let me inform you.

410
00:23:05,470 --> 00:23:09,470
Speaker 1: Yeah, you do. I'm like, you don't want dangerous toxins

411
00:23:09,530 --> 00:23:12,050
Speaker 1: put in your kid. That's a medical reason.

412
00:23:12,070 --> 00:23:12,850
Speaker 2: Right.

413
00:23:13,130 --> 00:23:15,890
Speaker 1: And I'm like, you just have to find the right

414
00:23:15,930 --> 00:23:19,570
Speaker 1: doctor who will sign off on a medical exemption. And

415
00:23:19,609 --> 00:23:22,340
Speaker 1: it's actually not difficult at all. There's actually quite a

416
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,540
Speaker 1: few doctors that will do that for you. You just

417
00:23:25,580 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: have to know the right ones. You have to know

418
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 1: the right people.

419
00:23:27,900 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 3: For sure.

420
00:23:28,940 --> 00:23:33,900
Speaker 1: For sure. When you go to a school, if you're

421
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,940
Speaker 1: wanting to go to a school, you just have to

422
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,330
Speaker 1: ask questions. You just have to ask the right questions.

423
00:23:38,869 --> 00:23:44,790
Speaker 1: You have to find the right people. You can email me.

424
00:23:44,950 --> 00:23:45,830
Speaker 1: I'll help you.

425
00:23:45,850 --> 00:23:49,350
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've had people email me and I've sent them

426
00:23:49,770 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 3: what I've submitted.

427
00:23:51,630 --> 00:23:51,930
Speaker 1: Yeah.

428
00:23:52,130 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 2: I mean, you just have to find the right people.

429
00:23:53,580 --> 00:23:57,139
Speaker 1: I have helped so many people in the state of

430
00:23:57,180 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: Texas get medical exemptions for their kids.

431
00:24:01,700 --> 00:24:04,740
Speaker 4: And let me tell you, Abby, when you look at

432
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,460
Speaker 4: a doctor or you look at the administrator, let's say

433
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 4: if someone is giving you a bit of trouble and

434
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,870
Speaker 4: you just politely say, I am happy to vaccinate my children.

435
00:24:15,290 --> 00:24:21,470
Speaker 4: As soon as the medical professional can sign off stating

436
00:24:21,510 --> 00:24:26,170
Speaker 4: there will absolutely be no adverse reactions, side effects, no

437
00:24:26,270 --> 00:24:28,710
Speaker 4: chance of death. As soon as I get that, sure,

438
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,140
Speaker 4: I'll line them all up. just find me a doctor

439
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 4: who will say that all of these adverse reactions cannot happen.

440
00:24:35,220 --> 00:24:38,300
Speaker 4: And I'll gladly, because that can net, that's an impossibility.

441
00:24:38,780 --> 00:24:41,850
Speaker 1: Well, or if you say to a doctor, I will

442
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,050
Speaker 1: vaccinate my children. If you will sign something that says

443
00:24:45,109 --> 00:24:48,390
Speaker 1: that if there is an adverse reaction, you and your

444
00:24:48,430 --> 00:24:51,070
Speaker 1: medical practice will be willing to be held liable.

445
00:24:52,230 --> 00:24:52,650
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.

446
00:24:52,990 --> 00:24:55,070
Speaker 1: Oh, never, never.

447
00:24:55,090 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 3: And that should tell you all. you need to know.

448
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 1: Cause there is no, there is no liability. I mean,

449
00:25:04,380 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: that was signed away in the eighties that there is

450
00:25:07,380 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: no medical liability for adverse reactions. So I, and that's

451
00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:20,970
Speaker 1: the only medication on the planet medication using quotations on

452
00:25:21,010 --> 00:25:25,630
Speaker 1: the planet that has no medical liability. It has no

453
00:25:25,730 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 1: standard of liability. Um, If you take a drug and

454
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: you have an adverse reaction, you can sue the company

455
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,899
Speaker 1: and say, I had an adverse reaction and you're going

456
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: to be held liable. Vaccines are the only thing that

457
00:25:42,540 --> 00:25:49,570
Speaker 1: does not have that same culpability. And I mean, to me,

458
00:25:49,670 --> 00:25:52,210
Speaker 1: that's like an alert, right? That's like a red flag.

459
00:25:52,230 --> 00:25:52,330
Speaker 3: Right.

460
00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:55,180
Speaker 4: And I've seen, you know, and the last thing I'll

461
00:25:55,220 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 4: say too, it's absolutely heartbreaking. Most of the videos I

462
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 4: can't finish, but there's a, I hate even calling it

463
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 4: like a trend, but there's so many parents who have

464
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:11,820
Speaker 4: posted their babies or toddlers, you know, thriving. This is them,

465
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:17,330
Speaker 4: you know, before their whatever month vaccine, right? They've laughing, smiling, happy.

466
00:26:17,980 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 4: And then this is them, you know, they showed them 12.

467
00:26:19,980 --> 00:26:20,669
Speaker 2: Hours, 24 hours, 36 hours.

468
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:27,060
Speaker 4: After their vaccinations and then a follow-up.

469
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,300
Speaker 3: This is still them months later. And it's just, honestly,

470
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 3: it's disturbing. It's heartbreaking.

471
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 4: And then you just think of this little innocent sweetheart

472
00:26:38,740 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 4: that has no choice in the matter, right?

473
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 3: That is now suffering.

474
00:26:43,900 --> 00:26:48,850
Speaker 4: And it just, oh, it just, that just always bothers me.

475
00:26:48,950 --> 00:26:52,470
Speaker 4: So anyways, bottom line, parents.

476
00:26:54,550 --> 00:26:56,649
Speaker 4: And this I think will be a good segue into

477
00:26:56,930 --> 00:26:59,850
Speaker 4: the probably most, one of the most popular trending topics,

478
00:26:59,910 --> 00:27:02,290
Speaker 4: everybody's speaking about, but it was going to say parents

479
00:27:03,450 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 4: know best for their children or they're supposed to know best.

480
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,940
Speaker 1: Um, unless you strangle them.

481
00:27:13,900 --> 00:27:22,409
Speaker 4: Unless you, you know, so, I mean, it's, I actually,

482
00:27:22,470 --> 00:27:25,420
Speaker 4: last night, uh, because not only is Abby my best

483
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,619
Speaker 4: friend and not only do we have a podcast together,

484
00:27:27,660 --> 00:27:32,500
Speaker 4: but I'm also blessed to work under Abby and is,

485
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,030
Speaker 4: is part of her, her team. And so we get

486
00:27:36,070 --> 00:27:38,570
Speaker 4: this email last night on a thread of a bunch

487
00:27:38,590 --> 00:27:41,389
Speaker 4: of us that work for Abby. And, and so I

488
00:27:41,430 --> 00:27:44,109
Speaker 4: got to watch when I, Abby's been doing a lot

489
00:27:44,130 --> 00:27:52,580
Speaker 4: of public interviews about Lindsay Clancy. And, uh, uh, I,

490
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 4: edited your one last night, Abby, where you were on

491
00:27:55,660 --> 00:28:00,290
Speaker 4: Real America's Voice and you were with Grant Stinchfield. You

492
00:28:00,310 --> 00:28:02,250
Speaker 4: had a really good interview with him.

493
00:28:02,290 --> 00:28:03,230
Speaker 1: And as I.

494
00:28:03,230 --> 00:28:08,310
Speaker 3: Edited it, I got to watch it. And it is,

495
00:28:08,330 --> 00:28:09,710
Speaker 3: I don't know, of course.

496
00:28:09,730 --> 00:28:14,310
Speaker 4: We'll let you talk about it here too.

497
00:28:16,130 --> 00:28:17,050
Speaker 1: I don't know, Abby.

498
00:28:17,090 --> 00:28:20,670
Speaker 4: It's just one of those things that When I say

499
00:28:20,690 --> 00:28:23,869
Speaker 4: I've been following the case closely, I don't feel like

500
00:28:23,910 --> 00:28:26,470
Speaker 4: I can say that because I haven't been watching the

501
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 4: full live trial every day. So I can't say I'm

502
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,899
Speaker 4: following it closely. I'm keeping tabs on it daily. I

503
00:28:32,619 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 4: would say that I'm keeping tabs because.

504
00:28:35,940 --> 00:28:41,540
Speaker 3: Some of it's honestly, it's just too painful for me.

505
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 3: I don't know. Do you know what I mean? I can't.

506
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:56,220
Speaker 4: Stay there for long. And It's only because I can't,

507
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,300
Speaker 4: I'm thinking about the three children, right?

508
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 3: Well, that's what we should be thinking about. That's what

509
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:04,660
Speaker 3: we should.

510
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,219
Speaker 4: You know, other people, and I'm not saying people who

511
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,219
Speaker 4: are engrossed in it and can sit through it all.

512
00:29:11,260 --> 00:29:14,100
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that they don't have empathy for the

513
00:29:14,140 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 4: three children, but many people who, especially women who have

514
00:29:18,820 --> 00:29:22,890
Speaker 4: this Almost like excitement to watch it every day.

515
00:29:23,030 --> 00:29:29,420
Speaker 3: And it's like, again, it's become all about almost like

516
00:29:29,460 --> 00:29:37,610
Speaker 3: this vengeance for Lindsay, right? And it's incredibly sick.

517
00:29:38,910 --> 00:29:39,190
Speaker 2: Sick.

518
00:29:40,220 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 3: And it's confusing.

519
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 4: And I think, Abby, something this huge is just another

520
00:29:46,380 --> 00:29:50,940
Speaker 4: glaring reminder, smack in our faces, Abby. We see this

521
00:29:51,010 --> 00:29:54,350
Speaker 4: in every facet of our world today. You and I

522
00:29:54,350 --> 00:29:57,950
Speaker 4: have talked about this for years publicly, right? Like, it's

523
00:29:58,030 --> 00:30:01,380
Speaker 4: like people are seeing two different realities on everything. And

524
00:30:01,410 --> 00:30:04,380
Speaker 4: so when I, when we say this is like a

525
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 4: spiritual battle of good versus evil and what we're, do you.

526
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 3: Know what I mean?

527
00:30:10,060 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 4: Like it's, it's, it's everything is two different realities where

528
00:30:13,980 --> 00:30:17,500
Speaker 4: one side cannot understand us and we can't understand another

529
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:25,900
Speaker 4: when people are championing women over abortion and We're.

530
00:30:25,700 --> 00:30:30,190
Speaker 3: Like, oh, Lindsay, you just, oh my gosh.

531
00:30:31,430 --> 00:30:36,470
Speaker 4: Oh, she strangled her three beautiful innocent children, but we're just,

532
00:30:38,690 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 4: there's such a disconnect today and it's almost, it's startling.

533
00:30:43,860 --> 00:30:51,380
Speaker 4: It's like we're coexisting with people who are so lost

534
00:30:51,540 --> 00:30:56,570
Speaker 4: and the deception is so great that That it's scary.

535
00:30:58,410 --> 00:30:59,469
Speaker 3: It's scary.

536
00:30:59,490 --> 00:31:02,550
Speaker 1: I was thinking last night, when I was working at

537
00:31:02,590 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: Planned Parenthood and this would have happened, who would I

538
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: have sided with? Would I have been on Team Lindsay? Yeah.

539
00:31:20,370 --> 00:31:25,900
Speaker 1: And I thought, yeah. When I worked at Planned Parenthood,

540
00:31:26,620 --> 00:31:30,860
Speaker 1: I would have been on Team Lindsay. I would have been,

541
00:31:31,060 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, heart-handing it and doing the heart hands. I

542
00:31:36,820 --> 00:31:40,810
Speaker 1: would have been wearing the pink. I would have been like, oh,

543
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:46,450
Speaker 1: but poor Lindsay. Like, she was really suffering. I would

544
00:31:46,470 --> 00:31:47,550
Speaker 1: have made her the victim.

545
00:31:48,270 --> 00:31:50,470
Speaker 3: Like, 100%.

546
00:31:51,050 --> 00:31:53,550
Speaker 2: Like, just thinking back to my.

547
00:31:57,050 --> 00:32:00,690
Speaker 2: My mentality right back then.

548
00:32:01,510 --> 00:32:08,930
Speaker 1: Right. Because women were victims.

549
00:32:09,610 --> 00:32:10,890
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely.

550
00:32:12,930 --> 00:32:18,210
Speaker 1: Women were always victims. And so, you know, you, you

551
00:32:18,250 --> 00:32:27,830
Speaker 1: have to, you know, make women victims. victims all the

552
00:32:27,870 --> 00:32:33,730
Speaker 1: time in every situation, even when they're like stone cold murders. Right.

553
00:32:33,990 --> 00:32:40,650
Speaker 1: You have to think, well, they're the victim. And such

554
00:32:40,770 --> 00:32:47,700
Speaker 1: a mental gymnastics that, that I, that I lived in,

555
00:32:48,780 --> 00:32:54,010
Speaker 1: like I was so anti-death penalty and, while I was

556
00:32:54,310 --> 00:33:00,110
Speaker 1: working at a place that killed babies. Right. Yeah. Because

557
00:33:00,330 --> 00:33:07,670
Speaker 1: even people who were murderers admitted to murder, I was like, no, no, no.

558
00:33:09,890 --> 00:33:15,130
Speaker 1: There's I'm like, there's gotta be something in them that

559
00:33:15,210 --> 00:33:16,650
Speaker 1: we need to protect.

560
00:33:16,930 --> 00:33:17,210
Speaker 3: Right.

561
00:33:17,290 --> 00:33:20,210
Speaker 1: Like we need to protect their humanity. We need to

562
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:25,700
Speaker 1: protect their dignity. Yeah. Yeah. all the while I'm piecing

563
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,420
Speaker 1: baby parts back together.

564
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

565
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: Right. There's like a disconnect. So I, I for sure,

566
00:33:33,900 --> 00:33:37,860
Speaker 1: just logically thinking about it, I would have for sure

567
00:33:38,820 --> 00:33:44,380
Speaker 1: been on team Lindsay when I worked at Planned Parenthood.

568
00:33:45,510 --> 00:33:45,620
Speaker 3: Yeah.

569
00:33:46,070 --> 00:33:51,020
Speaker 1: And so as I, as I look at, the people,

570
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: as I'm talking about this, and I'm not talking about

571
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:59,830
Speaker 1: this from a place of emotion.

572
00:34:00,850 --> 00:34:02,030
Speaker 2: Like most women are.

573
00:34:04,630 --> 00:34:07,510
Speaker 1: I'm talking about this from just, because I have been

574
00:34:07,970 --> 00:34:13,690
Speaker 1: closely following this trial because I have been thinking about

575
00:34:13,750 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: the impact of this trial, the precedent this sets. for

576
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,940
Speaker 1: not just women who drown their kids or strangle their

577
00:34:25,980 --> 00:34:29,660
Speaker 1: kids or kill their kids postpartum, but what this can be,

578
00:34:29,739 --> 00:34:32,270
Speaker 1: what kind of precedent this can set in mental health

579
00:34:34,870 --> 00:34:39,069
Speaker 1: for many different things, shooters, school shootings, all different kinds

580
00:34:39,130 --> 00:34:40,490
Speaker 1: of things. Right.

581
00:34:41,310 --> 00:34:47,219
Speaker 2: And so I've been looking just sheerly at the evidence, okay?

582
00:34:47,590 --> 00:34:53,620
Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. And people look at the evidence. These women are

583
00:34:53,700 --> 00:34:56,500
Speaker 1: looking at the evidence. It's primarily women. These women are

584
00:34:56,540 --> 00:35:01,589
Speaker 1: looking at the evidence and saying, even though I see

585
00:35:01,650 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 1: the evidence, she still isn't responsible for her actions. And

586
00:35:10,780 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 1: that's the same thing that we see among these same

587
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:20,550
Speaker 1: women who say they are staunchly pro-life, but they don't

588
00:35:20,650 --> 00:35:23,210
Speaker 1: want to hold women accountable for the murder of their

589
00:35:23,250 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: children in the womb. Right. So I show them evidence

590
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: of women, you know, dancing into abortion clinics, flipping me off,

591
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,380
Speaker 1: telling them, I can't wait to murder my baby, blah, blah, blah.

592
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,379
Speaker 1: And they look at those women and It's the same

593
00:35:47,420 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: with other abortion clinic workers, right? I showed them video

594
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: of other abortion, former abortion clinic workers who say, oh yeah,

595
00:35:53,860 --> 00:35:57,130
Speaker 1: women used to just walk in laughing, joking. They had

596
00:35:57,130 --> 00:35:59,790
Speaker 1: 12 abortions. They were using it as birth control, whatever.

597
00:35:59,810 --> 00:36:05,169
Speaker 1: And these same women look at the evidence and they

598
00:36:05,190 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: deny the evidence and they say, no, these women are

599
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:18,710
Speaker 1: still victims. And I think, and a lot of the

600
00:36:18,750 --> 00:36:24,950
Speaker 1: women are even saying, no, it was the husband. The

601
00:36:25,070 --> 00:36:30,860
Speaker 1: husband did it. When the husband has a clear alibi,

602
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: they have him on video camera multiple places during that.

603
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:42,550
Speaker 1: Like his movement is tracked the entire time. Like they

604
00:36:42,650 --> 00:36:46,879
Speaker 1: can see where he is the entire time. Lindsay has

605
00:36:46,940 --> 00:36:52,990
Speaker 1: admitted to doing it. She says she's guilty. The defense

606
00:36:53,070 --> 00:36:57,890
Speaker 1: is not even denying that she did it. Like, everybody

607
00:36:57,950 --> 00:36:59,340
Speaker 1: agrees she did it.

608
00:36:59,610 --> 00:36:59,810
Speaker 3: Right.

609
00:37:00,210 --> 00:37:04,410
Speaker 4: And I think a lot of people are misunderstanding what

610
00:37:04,450 --> 00:37:07,450
Speaker 4: the trial is for. It's not to prove any type

611
00:37:07,489 --> 00:37:11,450
Speaker 4: of innocence. This isn't for the jury to decide did

612
00:37:11,489 --> 00:37:13,100
Speaker 4: she do it or not. And I think a lot

613
00:37:13,140 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 4: of people are misunderstanding.

614
00:37:15,100 --> 00:37:17,350
Speaker 3: That's not even... why they're there.

615
00:37:18,070 --> 00:37:22,250
Speaker 1: No, but this is what like, this is just, again,

616
00:37:22,270 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 1: the lack of accountability. Right. That people are willing to

617
00:37:31,739 --> 00:37:37,620
Speaker 1: give or take in this country. It's like, and I

618
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 1: don't know if it's like, we can't, it's like hard

619
00:37:40,890 --> 00:37:42,790
Speaker 1: for us to wrap our heads around the fact that

620
00:37:42,830 --> 00:37:44,890
Speaker 1: a mother would.

621
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 2: Turn her children.

622
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:52,260
Speaker 1: Away from her, lie them on their stomachs, take an

623
00:37:52,410 --> 00:37:57,710
Speaker 1: exercise band, choke them, strangle them until their eyes almost

624
00:37:57,810 --> 00:38:03,529
Speaker 1: pop out of their heads. One of the children even

625
00:38:03,650 --> 00:38:08,509
Speaker 1: ran away from her. She drug them back. You know,

626
00:38:09,110 --> 00:38:15,529
Speaker 1: have them stand there and watch as she torturously strangles

627
00:38:15,670 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: each child I don't know if it's that our brain

628
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:23,980
Speaker 1: can't comprehend that. And so we say that must not

629
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:30,170
Speaker 1: be true. It has to be someone else. It can't

630
00:38:30,230 --> 00:38:34,270
Speaker 1: be true. No mother could possibly do that. So she

631
00:38:34,410 --> 00:38:40,190
Speaker 1: must have been in a place of just utter psychosis.

632
00:38:42,010 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: But let me tell you something. Mothers can do that

633
00:38:48,540 --> 00:38:56,460
Speaker 1: to their children. Mothers go into abortion clinics and their

634
00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:02,940
Speaker 1: babies are born alive. And the doctors say, what do

635
00:39:02,980 --> 00:39:05,540
Speaker 1: you want me to do with this baby that was

636
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:14,340
Speaker 1: born alive? And the mothers say, finish it. And the

637
00:39:14,380 --> 00:39:17,899
Speaker 1: doctor drowns the baby Or it breaks the baby's neck.

638
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:23,060
Speaker 1: The doctor breaks the baby's neck. Like mothers do those

639
00:39:23,180 --> 00:39:28,669
Speaker 1: kinds of things. Like that really does exist. That kind

640
00:39:28,710 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 1: of evil really exists. does exist. So it should not

641
00:39:33,380 --> 00:39:41,060
Speaker 1: be shocking that in our culture, as we have allowed

642
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: immunity for women to murder their babies for the past

643
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:53,590
Speaker 1: 50 years, that we have allowed just this unfettered, unchecked

644
00:39:53,969 --> 00:39:58,989
Speaker 1: evil for the past 50 years. It should not be

645
00:39:59,090 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 1: surprising that now we see it close up and it's

646
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: happening right in front of us. That should not be

647
00:40:08,100 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: surprising because we've.

648
00:40:10,020 --> 00:40:11,620
Speaker 2: Been allowing it to run rampant.

649
00:40:13,500 --> 00:40:13,760
Speaker 3: Right.

650
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: And we should be able to call it exactly what

651
00:40:16,660 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: it is. I mean, just on August 6th, A woman

652
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: walked into her boyfriend's apartment with a knife and a

653
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: gun on her hip and walked up to her three

654
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:37,339
Speaker 1: children and slit their throats. And she said to the

655
00:40:37,380 --> 00:40:42,549
Speaker 1: father of her children, say goodbye to your kids. And

656
00:40:42,630 --> 00:40:48,529
Speaker 1: she slit their throats. So are we also going to

657
00:40:48,670 --> 00:40:56,230
Speaker 1: create a million dollar GoFundMe for this woman and say like, well,

658
00:40:56,270 --> 00:40:59,660
Speaker 1: clearly that was psychosis or are we just going to say, no,

659
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,959
Speaker 1: because that was a little too bloody. Right.

660
00:41:03,340 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 3: Right.

661
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,100
Speaker 1: Right. Like, was that just too violent?

662
00:41:08,890 --> 00:41:09,489
Speaker 3: Yeah.

663
00:41:09,610 --> 00:41:18,150
Speaker 4: And it, these things have become subjective and, um, I'm

664
00:41:18,750 --> 00:41:20,670
Speaker 4: sure the next thing I'm going to say is going

665
00:41:20,690 --> 00:41:24,010
Speaker 4: to be taken wrong and people will eye roll.

666
00:41:25,610 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 2: But I.

667
00:41:28,340 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 4: Understand postpartum depression is real. Postpartum psychosis is real. I've

668
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 4: never been diagnosed with postpartum psychosis. I have been diagnosed

669
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,850
Speaker 4: with postpartum depression. And I have experienced a small handful

670
00:41:41,890 --> 00:41:43,189
Speaker 4: of times to where.

671
00:41:44,930 --> 00:41:46,290
Speaker 3: One of which I.

672
00:41:46,330 --> 00:41:52,489
Speaker 4: Had called you where it's, it's very scary because you

673
00:41:52,530 --> 00:41:57,870
Speaker 4: can be in a low spot and within literally seconds,

674
00:41:59,030 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 4: you bottom out to a place that's scary.

675
00:42:01,950 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 1: Right.

676
00:42:02,590 --> 00:42:08,340
Speaker 4: And so I have experienced that and I know it's

677
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 4: a horrible spot to be. And it's, it's, it's, it's

678
00:42:12,620 --> 00:42:22,690
Speaker 4: extremely scary. All that to say, this type of horrifying,

679
00:42:22,770 --> 00:42:28,989
Speaker 4: unfathomable behavior, literally, just as we, and I'm not trying

680
00:42:29,010 --> 00:42:33,450
Speaker 4: to jump, but just as we've seen in the Epstein files,

681
00:42:35,110 --> 00:42:41,489
Speaker 4: some of the emails that we read about, Abby, I

682
00:42:41,630 --> 00:42:47,090
Speaker 4: feel like no one can do these type of things.

683
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:56,379
Speaker 4: I'm not saying a full on possession, but unequivocally it's demonic.

684
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,500
Speaker 3: We can, we can say, you know what I mean? Mental,

685
00:43:00,700 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 3: mental illness is very real. Again, I've experienced it.

686
00:43:05,590 --> 00:43:05,930
Speaker 1: Me too.

687
00:43:06,110 --> 00:43:06,330
Speaker 3: Yeah.

688
00:43:06,810 --> 00:43:09,330
Speaker 4: Um, I mean, I've had anxiety and depression, the larger

689
00:43:09,370 --> 00:43:11,510
Speaker 4: part of my life. So I'm, I, it's a very,

690
00:43:11,770 --> 00:43:17,350
Speaker 4: very real thing. Um, But I'm sorry. I don't care

691
00:43:17,430 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 4: where somebody stands religiously, spiritually. These type of vile acts

692
00:43:27,100 --> 00:43:31,419
Speaker 4: that you would think could only take place in hell, there's–

693
00:43:31,780 --> 00:43:32,860
Speaker 4: Satan is present.

694
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:41,890
Speaker 3: Demons are present. There's no– there's– There's just that type

695
00:43:41,950 --> 00:43:44,710
Speaker 3: of evil. Again, like you said, a lot of people

696
00:43:44,730 --> 00:43:47,770
Speaker 3: don't think it's real. Many people that I spoke to, Abby,

697
00:43:47,870 --> 00:43:51,290
Speaker 3: don't understand what happens during abortion. Oh, that could never happen.

698
00:43:51,330 --> 00:43:53,630
Speaker 3: They don't tear limbs off. Oh, they don't squeeze the

699
00:43:53,670 --> 00:43:54,230
Speaker 3: baby's skull.

700
00:43:54,250 --> 00:43:54,890
Speaker 1: Oh, no, no, no, no.

701
00:43:54,910 --> 00:43:55,630
Speaker 3: You're misinformed.

702
00:43:56,050 --> 00:44:00,590
Speaker 4: Oh, I understand that that's sickening. And that's like once

703
00:44:01,050 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 4: it would make a person want to vomit.

704
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 3: But no, that's what happens.

705
00:44:04,180 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 2: That's very real.

706
00:44:04,980 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 1: They think abortion is polite.

707
00:44:07,210 --> 00:44:10,590
Speaker 3: They think I had a family member use the word peaceful.

708
00:44:10,770 --> 00:44:13,029
Speaker 4: It's very peaceful for the baby because who would do

709
00:44:13,070 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 4: that to a baby otherwise?

710
00:44:15,050 --> 00:44:20,219
Speaker 3: Who in the world would do that? And that's the delusion, Abby.

711
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 3: That's part of the deception. That is part of our conditioning.

712
00:44:25,020 --> 00:44:31,500
Speaker 3: That's part of our desensitizing. that literally that just happens

713
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:35,980
Speaker 3: on commercials and billboards and music. And when we see

714
00:44:36,020 --> 00:44:40,340
Speaker 3: our favorite singers and celebrities up on stage accepting awards

715
00:44:40,420 --> 00:44:45,490
Speaker 3: and putting out on their social media, where they think

716
00:44:45,510 --> 00:44:51,569
Speaker 3: they're being great, especially for women and young girls. Again,

717
00:44:51,610 --> 00:44:53,690
Speaker 3: I mean, I'll never forget. I talk about this. Kelsey,

718
00:44:53,730 --> 00:44:56,330
Speaker 3: my youngest daughter, when I got a call from the principal,

719
00:44:57,180 --> 00:45:00,100
Speaker 3: Years ago, she got into a fight with another girl

720
00:45:00,739 --> 00:45:03,500
Speaker 3: because the little girl came to school and said in

721
00:45:04,450 --> 00:45:08,820
Speaker 3: third grade that her family was voting for Kamala because

722
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,390
Speaker 3: they cared about her rights. The little third grader, her rights,

723
00:45:13,070 --> 00:45:15,330
Speaker 3: that she would be able to have an abortion. And

724
00:45:15,370 --> 00:45:21,170
Speaker 3: that was so strong. And Kelsey was just adamantly just disgusted.

725
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:25,589
Speaker 3: And so she decided to tell the entire class what

726
00:45:25,630 --> 00:45:29,589
Speaker 3: abortion was and how terrible it was. And I still

727
00:45:29,630 --> 00:45:33,830
Speaker 3: remember the principal saying, Wow, this is off the record.

728
00:45:33,890 --> 00:45:38,540
Speaker 3: And I absolutely agree with your family's viewpoints. Kelsey's scaring

729
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:43,359
Speaker 3: the children. But here's the thing. And what's so scary

730
00:45:43,500 --> 00:45:52,489
Speaker 3: and sad is, it's what is this teaching our children?

731
00:45:52,510 --> 00:45:53,730
Speaker 1: I know.

732
00:45:53,969 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 3: Like it's, what is this teaching our children? And for

733
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,700
Speaker 3: this specific example with Lindsay, just as we see with

734
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 3: this other mother.

735
00:46:04,140 --> 00:46:08,420
Speaker 4: Who did this to those, another set of three beautiful

736
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:12,339
Speaker 4: children again. So all of us who are struggling, all

737
00:46:12,390 --> 00:46:14,210
Speaker 4: of us who have depression, all of us who have

738
00:46:14,270 --> 00:46:18,460
Speaker 4: random crash outs, well, Hey, Maybe I'll get some good

739
00:46:18,500 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 4: publicity like Lindsay. Maybe I can get some fan mail. Well,

740
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 4: and this is not normal.

741
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 3: This is not normal.

742
00:46:24,140 --> 00:46:34,089
Speaker 1: What? To the mom who's like, man, breastfeeding sucks. It's

743
00:46:34,150 --> 00:46:36,069
Speaker 1: not as great as I thought it was going to be.

744
00:46:36,390 --> 00:46:39,840
Speaker 1: And I'm so freaking tired from getting up all night. Yep.

745
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:42,020
Speaker 2: That's part of motherhood. And you know what?

746
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:43,980
Speaker 1: You're going to look back at this time and you're

747
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: going to be like, that sucked, but you know what?

748
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,020
Speaker 1: I did it. And I gave my very best for

749
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,500
Speaker 1: my baby. And you're actually going to love that time.

750
00:46:50,580 --> 00:46:54,380
Speaker 1: I look at moms now breastfeeding their babies and I'm like,

751
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:56,500
Speaker 1: Wasn't that.

752
00:46:56,380 --> 00:46:57,219
Speaker 3: Just so special?

753
00:46:57,300 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: It was such a special time.

754
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 2: In the moment, I was like, I'm dying, right?

755
00:47:04,219 --> 00:47:04,820
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.

756
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:05,739
Speaker 3: And exhaustion.

757
00:47:05,780 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 4: I had black circles because my babies all, I co-slept

758
00:47:08,739 --> 00:47:11,670
Speaker 4: and they cluster fed all night long. But yet like

759
00:47:11,750 --> 00:47:15,770
Speaker 4: how phenomenal. It really was one of the greatest things

760
00:47:16,150 --> 00:47:17,230
Speaker 4: that my body ever did.

761
00:47:17,390 --> 00:47:17,950
Speaker 3: And I loved it.

762
00:47:18,030 --> 00:47:21,370
Speaker 4: And I did extended breastfeeding with all five of my kids.

763
00:47:21,910 --> 00:47:23,989
Speaker 4: And I would not trade a moment.

764
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:28,340
Speaker 1: But I'm like, you should be giving the message that like, yeah,

765
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,540
Speaker 1: but like we do hard things and you're going to

766
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:32,629
Speaker 1: look back on that and be like, that was like

767
00:47:32,670 --> 00:47:35,570
Speaker 1: some of the sweetest. I think you're talking about last things.

768
00:47:35,590 --> 00:47:38,550
Speaker 1: I remember with Fulton, I knew Fulton was going to

769
00:47:38,570 --> 00:47:41,790
Speaker 1: be my last baby. And you know, as he was

770
00:47:41,830 --> 00:47:44,250
Speaker 1: getting older and I was breastfeeding him, I just remember

771
00:47:44,450 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: every time he would breastfeed, I would be thinking, this

772
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:51,100
Speaker 1: is the last time. Yeah. Like, you know, is this

773
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,020
Speaker 1: the last time he's going to breastfeed? And I, I

774
00:47:53,060 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 1: just would be like, I remember taking pictures. I have

775
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:01,989
Speaker 1: all these pictures on my phone of me holding him

776
00:48:02,110 --> 00:48:02,820
Speaker 1: and him pressing me.

777
00:48:02,830 --> 00:48:03,569
Speaker 3: This could be it.

778
00:48:03,830 --> 00:48:08,649
Speaker 5: I was like, this could be it. I think back

779
00:48:08,670 --> 00:48:11,070
Speaker 5: to those times and I'm like, it was hard, but

780
00:48:11,170 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 5: what beautiful times that was in my life. I'm like,

781
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 5: those are the messages that we need to be giving moms.

782
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 5: Not like, oh, it's normal to have a crash out

783
00:48:23,020 --> 00:48:28,540
Speaker 5: and freak out and go, you know, rage throw stuff

784
00:48:28,580 --> 00:48:30,940
Speaker 5: into your sink or whatever.

785
00:48:31,020 --> 00:48:36,810
Speaker 2: Like, that's not normal. Like, let's handle our emotions better, okay? Like,

786
00:48:37,450 --> 00:48:39,250
Speaker 2: go take some time in prayer.

787
00:48:39,270 --> 00:48:39,330
Speaker 3: Go.

788
00:48:40,620 --> 00:48:41,410
Speaker 2: I don't know.

789
00:48:41,430 --> 00:48:46,170
Speaker 3: I mean, this whole trend, Abby, on social media of

790
00:48:46,210 --> 00:48:48,730
Speaker 3: the moms, like, same, Lindsay.

791
00:48:48,750 --> 00:48:50,410
Speaker 2: Same.

792
00:48:51,030 --> 00:48:54,629
Speaker 4: Holding their beautiful baby sleeping on their chest. Like, wait,

793
00:48:54,830 --> 00:48:56,130
Speaker 4: what is that message?

794
00:48:56,750 --> 00:48:58,529
Speaker 2: Their babies need to be taken away from them. I

795
00:48:58,570 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 2: have seen.

796
00:48:59,140 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 4: That is so disturbing at the highest level.

797
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: It is. And I've seen guys posting, they're like, That

798
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 1: are like, I broke up with my fiance. I broke

799
00:49:15,260 --> 00:49:18,390
Speaker 1: up with my girlfriend because she's like saying all this

800
00:49:18,450 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 1: like same Lindsay stuff. And I'm like, that is the

801
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:24,660
Speaker 1: right move. Yeah, seriously. Like if you're going to have,

802
00:49:24,739 --> 00:49:27,380
Speaker 1: if you're considering having children with a woman who is

803
00:49:27,460 --> 00:49:30,720
Speaker 1: identifying with a woman who strangled three of her children,

804
00:49:31,260 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 1: that is the biggest red flag waving in front of

805
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:37,450
Speaker 1: your face. Do not marry a woman like that. Do

806
00:49:37,489 --> 00:49:40,660
Speaker 1: not stay with a woman like that. Because that is sick.

807
00:49:41,060 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 1: That is pure sickness. That is pure evil. Like you

808
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:47,320
Speaker 1: do not want that woman to be the mother of

809
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:47,900
Speaker 1: your children.

810
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:54,299
Speaker 3: Yeah. I just, man, I just, it's all again.

811
00:49:54,340 --> 00:49:57,489
Speaker 4: And that's, and that's how evil works. And that's how

812
00:49:57,510 --> 00:50:04,670
Speaker 4: it just, this, this deception and indoctrination seeps.

813
00:50:05,270 --> 00:50:07,530
Speaker 3: It's like lava. so quickly.

814
00:50:07,590 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 4: It's like an avalanche, Abby. And, and again, when I've

815
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 4: seen these videos of these mothers, I just think, my gosh,

816
00:50:18,219 --> 00:50:20,380
Speaker 4: like Satan is just laughing.

817
00:50:21,739 --> 00:50:26,020
Speaker 3: Like it is. God is weeping thinking this is what, like,

818
00:50:26,700 --> 00:50:28,980
Speaker 3: it's just so, it's just so incredibly sad.

819
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 1: Um, okay.

820
00:50:31,300 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 2: Can we just like really quick make fun of something though? Yes, please.

821
00:50:36,070 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 1: Okay, we've talked about this before, but this also just

822
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:46,060
Speaker 1: plays into the evil nature of this stuff, but let's

823
00:50:46,100 --> 00:50:51,660
Speaker 1: also laugh at people. Okay, so remember when all those

824
00:50:51,700 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: people went to the White House and they had that

825
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:58,580
Speaker 1: binder that said Epstein Files on it?

826
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:01,980
Speaker 3: Right. That white binder. Right.

827
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 2: They were like, we have the Epstein files, guys.

828
00:51:07,739 --> 00:51:08,540
Speaker 1: Holding it up.

829
00:51:08,739 --> 00:51:10,940
Speaker 2: It was like a bunch of influencers, right? And they

830
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 2: were like, we have the Epstein files.

831
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.

832
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:18,250
Speaker 1: And then it came to find out that it was

833
00:51:18,290 --> 00:51:19,710
Speaker 1: an empty binder. Right.

834
00:51:19,750 --> 00:51:21,850
Speaker 2: It actually had nothing in it. It was like an empty.

835
00:51:21,930 --> 00:51:24,050
Speaker 3: How embarrassing for them.

836
00:51:24,950 --> 00:51:28,140
Speaker 2: And I'm like, okay. So it was like an empty folder, right?

837
00:51:28,660 --> 00:51:30,940
Speaker 1: But one thing that I remember thinking, and you and

838
00:51:30,980 --> 00:51:35,130
Speaker 1: I talked about this, One thing that I remember thinking

839
00:51:35,170 --> 00:51:38,649
Speaker 1: about this, and we talked about it, was that how

840
00:51:38,770 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 1: freaking weird would it be if you actually did have

841
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:47,140
Speaker 1: the Epstein files in that folder, that you would be

842
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: standing outside... Smiling. Smiling, posing, taking selfies.

843
00:51:54,739 --> 00:51:55,780
Speaker 3: Charading, right.

844
00:51:55,920 --> 00:52:00,109
Speaker 4: Holding it up as if it's some prize. Because the

845
00:52:00,170 --> 00:52:07,870
Speaker 4: true contents... And even the redacted emails that we have seen,

846
00:52:07,890 --> 00:52:12,310
Speaker 4: I mean, really should leave you just dry heaving off

847
00:52:12,370 --> 00:52:13,810
Speaker 4: to the side.

848
00:52:13,850 --> 00:52:16,890
Speaker 1: You should be throwing up.

849
00:52:17,469 --> 00:52:17,730
Speaker 3: Right?

850
00:52:17,989 --> 00:52:21,669
Speaker 1: Right. You should be vomiting in a bathroom. Yeah.

851
00:52:21,890 --> 00:52:22,109
Speaker 3: Yeah.

852
00:52:22,310 --> 00:52:27,140
Speaker 2: Right? But they were all out, like, taking selfies and.

853
00:52:28,420 --> 00:52:30,569
Speaker 3: How disgustingly embarrassing.

854
00:52:31,110 --> 00:52:34,969
Speaker 4: Have any of them come forward and like fallen on

855
00:52:34,989 --> 00:52:39,110
Speaker 4: the sword? Have any single one of them where they're like, listen,

856
00:52:39,590 --> 00:52:41,060
Speaker 4: let's address the elephant in the room.

857
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,780
Speaker 1: And I remember when that happened, when they were taking

858
00:52:43,820 --> 00:52:44,739
Speaker 1: pictures and posting them.

859
00:52:44,780 --> 00:52:47,770
Speaker 2: And I remember you and I were like, What is this?

860
00:52:47,950 --> 00:52:51,879
Speaker 2: And I remember saying to you, there's nothing in that binder. Right.

861
00:52:51,950 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 1: Because you were like, why were these people allowed to

862
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,700
Speaker 1: see this? And I said, there's nothing in that binder.

863
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:03,180
Speaker 1: And then it came out that there was nothing in

864
00:53:03,219 --> 00:53:05,989
Speaker 1: that binder. Because I thought, who in the world would

865
00:53:06,010 --> 00:53:11,850
Speaker 1: be just standing around after you've seen information about child rape?

866
00:53:12,790 --> 00:53:15,469
Speaker 4: Holding it up like they just won the Super Bowl,

867
00:53:15,510 --> 00:53:19,029
Speaker 4: like a trophy. Literally, they've got their trophy. Here it is.

868
00:53:19,110 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 4: Everyone take a look.

869
00:53:20,870 --> 00:53:24,830
Speaker 3: How embarrassing and disgusting.

870
00:53:26,150 --> 00:53:31,450
Speaker 2: Also, just like how evil.

871
00:53:31,469 --> 00:53:32,350
Speaker 5: Right?

872
00:53:32,969 --> 00:53:34,620
Speaker 2: Just like how.

873
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:38,899
Speaker 1: Gross and how evil to be parading around.

874
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:42,500
Speaker 2: Like you have some kind of prize.

875
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 3: Right.

876
00:53:44,219 --> 00:53:45,400
Speaker 2: Deceiving people.

877
00:53:46,500 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 1: Like that.

878
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:51,300
Speaker 2: And then basically making a joke.

879
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:57,810
Speaker 4: About the most unfathomable evil that has taken place.

880
00:53:59,710 --> 00:54:03,630
Speaker 3: And it's like, oh my gosh. Because Abby, and you

881
00:54:03,670 --> 00:54:03,870
Speaker 3: and I.

882
00:54:03,850 --> 00:54:09,980
Speaker 4: Have also spoke about this, and we've tiptoed somewhat publicly

883
00:54:10,060 --> 00:54:15,380
Speaker 4: about it because a lot of these people are quote unquote,

884
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 4: on our side, right? They're on the right side. They're

885
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:24,690
Speaker 4: in the conservative movement. They're in the Christian space, which

886
00:54:24,850 --> 00:54:28,090
Speaker 4: makes it that much more unsettling. But it's for a

887
00:54:28,150 --> 00:54:32,489
Speaker 4: lot of these people, and now people are onto them.

888
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 4: For a lot of these influencers, so many people are

889
00:54:35,500 --> 00:54:38,359
Speaker 4: onto them of like, what is this turned into? What

890
00:54:38,420 --> 00:54:41,670
Speaker 4: is this about What is your ministry? What is the

891
00:54:41,810 --> 00:54:44,150
Speaker 4: goal here? Is this for clicks?

892
00:54:44,170 --> 00:54:45,129
Speaker 3: Why would you.

893
00:54:45,090 --> 00:54:46,670
Speaker 2: Ever listen to those people again?

894
00:54:47,790 --> 00:54:48,029
Speaker 1: Right?

895
00:54:48,050 --> 00:54:55,819
Speaker 3: Those people specifically. All credibility, all integrity.

896
00:54:55,840 --> 00:55:00,060
Speaker 4: That's something you don't get back unless there is a

897
00:55:00,260 --> 00:55:05,109
Speaker 4: massive public confession and repentance. And please, I don't expect

898
00:55:05,410 --> 00:55:08,170
Speaker 4: any single person to trust me ever again. I may

899
00:55:08,250 --> 00:55:10,569
Speaker 4: try to earn it back for years and years to come,

900
00:55:10,610 --> 00:55:13,629
Speaker 4: but I don't expect a single one of you. But again,

901
00:55:13,670 --> 00:55:17,879
Speaker 4: people are so stupid, just like the people that think

902
00:55:18,060 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 4: Trump can do no wrong and think that they treat

903
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:21,900
Speaker 4: him as if he's our savior.

904
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 3: It disgusts me.

905
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:28,910
Speaker 4: And again, I have no problem calling anyone out on

906
00:55:29,150 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 4: any side, in any party, any religion, It's like, what's

907
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 4: wrong is wrong.

908
00:55:36,140 --> 00:55:38,430
Speaker 3: What's evil is evil. What's a clown show is a

909
00:55:38,469 --> 00:55:42,730
Speaker 3: clown show. You know, whether someone's in.

910
00:55:42,750 --> 00:55:47,910
Speaker 4: Our group or not, it's actually, it's more so infuriating

911
00:55:48,150 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 4: and embarrassing. If they're pro-life, if they're conservative Christians, if

912
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:56,760
Speaker 4: we're all swinging for the same team, it's like.

913
00:55:57,020 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 3: Wow, you're an embarrassment.

914
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:03,420
Speaker 2: You're an embarrassment. I can tell you right now, Well,

915
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 2: first of all, I would have never been in that room.

916
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:09,800
Speaker 1: But second of all, if I would have been invited

917
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:12,489
Speaker 1: there and I would have walked into that room and

918
00:56:12,510 --> 00:56:15,830
Speaker 1: they would have been like, here's an empty binder. Now

919
00:56:15,870 --> 00:56:18,790
Speaker 1: we want you to go outside. I would have been like, peace.

920
00:56:19,090 --> 00:56:20,790
Speaker 1: Like I would have walked into the room.

921
00:56:20,830 --> 00:56:22,990
Speaker 3: You would have laughed and you would have been like

922
00:56:23,110 --> 00:56:23,730
Speaker 3: thrown in.

923
00:56:23,750 --> 00:56:24,630
Speaker 2: This is a joke.

924
00:56:25,050 --> 00:56:27,660
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. I would have walked out of that room.

925
00:56:27,980 --> 00:56:30,360
Speaker 1: I would have walked straight up to the most important

926
00:56:30,420 --> 00:56:32,939
Speaker 1: reporter out there. And I would have said, they're about

927
00:56:32,980 --> 00:56:35,279
Speaker 1: to come out with the empty binders. Do not let

928
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:35,940
Speaker 1: them fool you.

929
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 4: Right.

930
00:56:37,460 --> 00:56:37,900
Speaker 2: No way.

931
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:39,340
Speaker 1: Like, right. Yeah.

932
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:39,719
Speaker 3: No way.

933
00:56:39,940 --> 00:56:42,009
Speaker 1: I would have played into that charade. That's why they

934
00:56:42,030 --> 00:56:43,210
Speaker 1: don't invite me to the white house.

935
00:56:43,870 --> 00:56:44,109
Speaker 3: Yeah.

936
00:56:44,270 --> 00:56:45,290
Speaker 2: Because I'm not playing.

937
00:56:45,310 --> 00:56:48,710
Speaker 3: Because you can't, you can't be bought. You can't be bought.

938
00:56:48,790 --> 00:56:51,130
Speaker 2: No. And I'm not, I'm not going to lie. I'm

939
00:56:51,150 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 2: not going to lie.

940
00:56:52,430 --> 00:56:53,950
Speaker 1: Right. It's, it's.

941
00:56:54,050 --> 00:56:54,250
Speaker 3: Yeah.

942
00:56:54,900 --> 00:56:56,300
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not going to play the game.

943
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:58,799
Speaker 1: Every once in a while, I do get invited to

944
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:02,469
Speaker 1: something at the White House, and I never go. But

945
00:57:02,530 --> 00:57:03,950
Speaker 1: every once in a while, I do get invited to

946
00:57:03,989 --> 00:57:06,890
Speaker 1: something at the White House, and I'm like, I think

947
00:57:07,510 --> 00:57:09,469
Speaker 1: you made a mistake inviting me.

948
00:57:09,610 --> 00:57:10,290
Speaker 2: All right.

949
00:57:10,969 --> 00:57:13,370
Speaker 4: I may be taken out in handcuffs if I come

950
00:57:13,430 --> 00:57:15,570
Speaker 4: and say what should really be said.

951
00:57:15,590 --> 00:57:19,700
Speaker 1: I think this was an accident putting me on the list.

952
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:22,140
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's just such a weird– that was such.

953
00:57:21,940 --> 00:57:24,870
Speaker 3: A weird– it's, it's so weird.

954
00:57:24,970 --> 00:57:29,390
Speaker 4: And I'll tell you a lot of, you know, conservative,

955
00:57:29,430 --> 00:57:32,130
Speaker 4: because we've seen this, it's what's, what's very noticeable. We've

956
00:57:32,150 --> 00:57:36,330
Speaker 4: seen this over the years, massive shift from whether you're

957
00:57:36,370 --> 00:57:41,390
Speaker 4: a CNN or Fox news or wherever you watch, wherever

958
00:57:41,430 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 4: you get your news. I mean, influencers and podcasters have

959
00:57:45,220 --> 00:57:48,260
Speaker 4: by far taken over the news stations.

960
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 3: Right.

961
00:57:49,540 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 4: And, um, so many people that I once respected and

962
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 4: took their word for gold. Like again, I could post

963
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:02,230
Speaker 4: something on my personal platform or our joint page, Abby,

964
00:58:02,550 --> 00:58:05,110
Speaker 4: and I wouldn't, if they said it or they had

965
00:58:05,150 --> 00:58:07,610
Speaker 4: it posted, I would not need a double, triple check.

966
00:58:07,730 --> 00:58:09,290
Speaker 4: I would not need a double check because I'm like,

967
00:58:09,330 --> 00:58:12,310
Speaker 4: that is gold. I know someone on their team has

968
00:58:12,350 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 4: checked it seven times, so I don't even need to, right?

969
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:20,140
Speaker 4: So many of those people I have lost such respect

970
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:27,500
Speaker 4: for And I no longer trust. And it has become

971
00:58:28,460 --> 00:58:34,220
Speaker 4: somewhat of a mockery. And it's easy just to see through, like,

972
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:40,620
Speaker 4: this is a joke. This is like, you know, and

973
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:44,220
Speaker 4: I guess that's good because it's If you're praying for

974
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 4: the fruits of the spirit, if you're praying for wisdom

975
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:49,180
Speaker 4: and discernment, God's going to give it to you. And

976
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:54,260
Speaker 4: I think more and more people are being able to

977
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:57,060
Speaker 4: see through the BS, but obviously not enough, Abby, because

978
00:58:57,100 --> 00:59:03,890
Speaker 4: we still have this large mask of people with these

979
00:59:03,930 --> 00:59:09,970
Speaker 4: goggles on that are just seeing reality for what it's not. Yeah.

980
00:59:10,050 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 4: And man, so it is. It's like, you know, the

981
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 4: Bible even tells us, you know, guard your heart, guard

982
00:59:16,780 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 4: your mind. It's like, man, be careful who you're following.

983
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:24,540
Speaker 4: Be careful who you're listening to. You know, when the

984
00:59:24,660 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 4: snake has bit you once, don't go back to the

985
00:59:28,580 --> 00:59:32,940
Speaker 4: snake again. You know, when someone has shown you that

986
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,500
Speaker 4: they're a clown, that they cannot be trusted, it's.

987
00:59:39,550 --> 00:59:43,270
Speaker 3: Just, you know. And then there's things too, Abby, of these,

988
00:59:44,330 --> 00:59:45,150
Speaker 3: you know, we all.

989
00:59:45,010 --> 00:59:47,350
Speaker 4: Have, gosh, and I always say I'm one of the

990
00:59:47,370 --> 00:59:51,750
Speaker 4: biggest sinners. I just, my goodness, I'm so thankful for Jesus.

991
00:59:51,770 --> 00:59:54,590
Speaker 4: I just desperately need him every day of my life.

992
00:59:57,260 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 4: So we all have our baggage. We all have our sins.

993
01:00:01,070 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 4: But it's incredibly difficult to watch some people who, whether

994
01:00:06,910 --> 01:00:10,820
Speaker 4: they're currently leading, you know, because I can get over

995
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:13,140
Speaker 4: people who have sinned in the past and owned it, right?

996
01:00:13,180 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 3: They're living a life of repentance. They've owned it. That's

997
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:16,960
Speaker 3: all of us.

998
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:18,020
Speaker 1: Right.

999
01:00:18,060 --> 01:00:21,820
Speaker 4: But when you see certain people who are living currently

1000
01:00:21,860 --> 01:00:26,370
Speaker 4: a double life and are currently doing things behind the

1001
01:00:26,410 --> 01:00:28,540
Speaker 4: scenes and showing up as someone else, it's like, man.

1002
01:00:28,610 --> 01:00:29,090
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1003
01:00:30,690 --> 01:00:32,490
Speaker 2: Like, oh, it's so hard.

1004
01:00:33,340 --> 01:00:35,280
Speaker 1: It's so hard.

1005
01:00:35,620 --> 01:00:40,140
Speaker 3: And you more so like, you know, anytime y'all that

1006
01:00:40,260 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 3: I've been in a big place or a green room

1007
01:00:44,380 --> 01:00:46,500
Speaker 3: with some big people, it's because I've been with Abby.

1008
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:52,030
Speaker 4: And I've just seen a few examples, just even sometimes

1009
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:55,550
Speaker 4: sitting back and watching someone interact with other people for

1010
01:00:55,590 --> 01:00:58,330
Speaker 4: two minutes, not even needing to interact with the person,

1011
01:00:58,370 --> 01:01:03,080
Speaker 4: but just watching. how they interact. It's like, man, when

1012
01:01:03,100 --> 01:01:08,520
Speaker 4: they say, don't ever meet your hero. There's been times

1013
01:01:08,540 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 4: where I'm like, oh, definitely didn't see that. It's just,

1014
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 4: but it's also an important reminder that social media.

1015
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:18,380
Speaker 1: Is, a.

1016
01:01:20,090 --> 01:01:21,470
Speaker 2: Lot of it's a facade.

1017
01:01:22,070 --> 01:01:22,450
Speaker 1: It is.

1018
01:01:22,810 --> 01:01:24,590
Speaker 2: Hey, what happened to Harrison Butker?

1019
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 4: Oh my glory, which he is one that I did have,

1020
01:01:29,860 --> 01:01:31,950
Speaker 4: I was in a green room with because you and

1021
01:01:31,990 --> 01:01:35,970
Speaker 4: Harrison spoke together. And I'll tell you what, he was

1022
01:01:36,690 --> 01:01:40,350
Speaker 4: so genuine and exactly like he portrays to be. And

1023
01:01:40,410 --> 01:01:43,950
Speaker 4: I watched him interact a lot with people and he seemed, wait,

1024
01:01:43,990 --> 01:01:44,890
Speaker 4: did something bad happen?

1025
01:01:45,090 --> 01:01:46,830
Speaker 2: I don't know. But like, where did he go?

1026
01:01:47,150 --> 01:01:49,330
Speaker 3: He was like- Did he just, you know, I wonder

1027
01:01:49,370 --> 01:01:53,250
Speaker 3: if he just kind of like- He was like so popular.

1028
01:01:53,270 --> 01:01:53,350
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1029
01:01:53,870 --> 01:01:54,650
Speaker 3: It disappeared.

1030
01:01:54,670 --> 01:01:57,310
Speaker 2: It's like everywhere. And then all of a sudden he

1031
01:01:57,370 --> 01:01:57,770
Speaker 2: was just like.

1032
01:01:57,810 --> 01:02:01,890
Speaker 4: After that commencement speech, literally in the, where you had,

1033
01:02:02,050 --> 01:02:05,130
Speaker 4: where you were the keynote at that gala in Nashville,

1034
01:02:05,590 --> 01:02:09,700
Speaker 4: he also spoke and that was like at his height.

1035
01:02:10,060 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 3: That was like, he was trending everywhere.

1036
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,140
Speaker 2: And then he just like disappeared.

1037
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 4: But I remember it was like bad. He had a

1038
01:02:17,540 --> 01:02:21,460
Speaker 4: move that people found his like resonance and, And you

1039
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 4: could tell he is just a man who just wants

1040
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:24,340
Speaker 4: to protect his family.

1041
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:26,820
Speaker 3: I wonder if he just kind of... I wonder if.

1042
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,100
Speaker 1: That's why he just kind of dropped off the scene. Yeah.

1043
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:31,910
Speaker 1: If he was like, I don't want to do this anymore.

1044
01:02:33,310 --> 01:02:35,370
Speaker 4: Hey, as we end this, speaking of that, something I'm

1045
01:02:35,390 --> 01:02:39,810
Speaker 4: going to share and I'll give like little periodic updates throughout.

1046
01:02:40,010 --> 01:02:44,450
Speaker 4: But so today we are recording. This will run probably

1047
01:02:44,470 --> 01:02:49,930
Speaker 4: a couple of days later. Today is August 27th. 2026. I,

1048
01:02:50,190 --> 01:02:55,550
Speaker 4: on July 13th, 2026 got off social media and, uh,

1049
01:02:56,390 --> 01:02:59,870
Speaker 4: you could say I've been a social media addict, um,

1050
01:03:00,410 --> 01:03:03,250
Speaker 4: for many, many years. And it's been the biggest part

1051
01:03:03,270 --> 01:03:09,870
Speaker 4: of my life for about 13 years. Um, um, and

1052
01:03:09,890 --> 01:03:14,660
Speaker 4: I've relied on it for whether it was money or fulfillment, um,

1053
01:03:15,700 --> 01:03:19,260
Speaker 4: in different ways. And it was just, it really became

1054
01:03:19,300 --> 01:03:24,960
Speaker 4: my identity. Like that's, it was just like, that's what

1055
01:03:25,020 --> 01:03:30,060
Speaker 4: I allowed it to become. And so it was about

1056
01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 4: four days before the 13th. So probably around July 9th,

1057
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:41,690
Speaker 4: I felt very clearly God impress upon my heart, give

1058
01:03:41,730 --> 01:03:42,370
Speaker 4: me one year.

1059
01:03:43,910 --> 01:03:44,410
Speaker 3: And that was it.

1060
01:03:45,930 --> 01:03:50,530
Speaker 4: But I instantaneously knew exactly what he meant.

1061
01:03:51,730 --> 01:03:53,710
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh boy.

1062
01:03:55,410 --> 01:03:58,630
Speaker 4: Because I was kind of at a peak of things

1063
01:03:58,830 --> 01:04:01,070
Speaker 4: on my social media and I was liking it and

1064
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:10,800
Speaker 4: got back to monetizing and sometimes very superficially comments and

1065
01:04:11,140 --> 01:04:14,340
Speaker 4: the high, you know, the likes, you know, it's very,

1066
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:18,750
Speaker 4: it's very quickly passing, but just as anything that's can

1067
01:04:18,790 --> 01:04:22,510
Speaker 4: be addictive, you know, it gives you the quick dopamine

1068
01:04:22,570 --> 01:04:24,830
Speaker 4: hit and then it leaves and then it leaves.

1069
01:04:24,890 --> 01:04:25,910
Speaker 3: It's very superficial.

1070
01:04:27,820 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 4: But I knew God wanted me to step away for

1071
01:04:31,540 --> 01:04:34,540
Speaker 4: a year. So Abby, I have to tell you, it

1072
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:40,210
Speaker 4: has been Lovely for the most part. I really thought

1073
01:04:40,230 --> 01:04:43,490
Speaker 4: I was going to go through like withdrawals and just like,

1074
01:04:43,590 --> 01:04:44,330
Speaker 4: oh my gosh.

1075
01:04:44,530 --> 01:04:47,670
Speaker 3: And again, I get nervous sometimes like if I give

1076
01:04:47,710 --> 01:04:50,750
Speaker 3: you an update, like as soon as I say this,

1077
01:04:50,790 --> 01:04:53,820
Speaker 3: like tomorrow's going to be terrible. But it's like.

1078
01:04:55,420 --> 01:04:58,860
Speaker 4: When you're like walking in obedience to something that God

1079
01:04:59,020 --> 01:05:02,020
Speaker 4: asked of you, there's like this certain piece that's.

1080
01:05:01,820 --> 01:05:03,979
Speaker 3: Like, man, this feels good though.

1081
01:05:04,420 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's freedom.

1082
01:05:06,260 --> 01:05:11,940
Speaker 3: It's freedom. It's freedom. And so I'm one and a

1083
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:18,870
Speaker 3: half months in, exactly. And it's like, I often think

1084
01:05:18,930 --> 01:05:22,110
Speaker 3: in 10 and a half months, I don't even know

1085
01:05:22,130 --> 01:05:23,190
Speaker 3: if I'll want to be back.

1086
01:05:24,010 --> 01:05:25,990
Speaker 4: Like I may come back to just be like, hey,

1087
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 4: I just actually might delete all the, like who even knows?

1088
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:29,200
Speaker 3: Who even knows?

1089
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:31,140
Speaker 4: And so I'm just, I'm giving it to God, but

1090
01:05:31,180 --> 01:05:36,370
Speaker 4: it's like, it is so refreshing. And I am so

1091
01:05:37,070 --> 01:05:40,690
Speaker 4: much more present with my kids. It's like, I already

1092
01:05:40,770 --> 01:05:43,970
Speaker 4: knew I was multitasking way too much. And I was like, oh,

1093
01:05:44,070 --> 01:05:46,070
Speaker 4: this is so cute. Let me put this up on

1094
01:05:46,090 --> 01:05:49,180
Speaker 4: my story. Or like, let's quick, quick, quick. We got

1095
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:50,900
Speaker 4: to get a picture because I want to make a post.

1096
01:05:51,500 --> 01:05:51,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1097
01:05:51,860 --> 01:05:55,880
Speaker 4: And like that is non-existent. And like to live in

1098
01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:03,570
Speaker 4: the moments has been weirdly so satisfying. And like, wow,

1099
01:06:04,030 --> 01:06:04,830
Speaker 4: this is how.

1100
01:06:04,750 --> 01:06:09,670
Speaker 3: It's supposed to be. It's really nice. And the kids

1101
01:06:10,990 --> 01:06:11,530
Speaker 3: notice it.

1102
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:15,740
Speaker 4: And it's been like a nice break for them because

1103
01:06:15,820 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 4: I'm not as, you know, it's just, I don't know.

1104
01:06:18,660 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 3: It's really neat. So a month and a half in.

1105
01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 1: You're doing it. You're doing it.

1106
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:24,630
Speaker 3: I'm doing it.

1107
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:26,140
Speaker 1: You're doing it.

1108
01:06:26,260 --> 01:06:26,700
Speaker 2: It's good.

1109
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:30,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's good. Excited.

1110
01:06:30,940 --> 01:06:31,500
Speaker 2: I hope like.

1111
01:06:32,050 --> 01:06:36,750
Speaker 3: Within like 10 months, there's just so many good, amazing.

1112
01:06:38,150 --> 01:06:38,590
Speaker 2: Things.

1113
01:06:39,030 --> 01:06:43,700
Speaker 4: And if at the end of it, if the quote

1114
01:06:43,740 --> 01:06:49,200
Speaker 4: unquote only thing there is, is a more peace and

1115
01:06:49,260 --> 01:06:52,340
Speaker 4: closeness with God, then amazing.

1116
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:53,800
Speaker 3: That's worth it.

1117
01:06:54,260 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 4: Then that's worth it. And this tiny trade-off for everything

1118
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:02,620
Speaker 4: he's done for me, it almost seems embarrassing to try

1119
01:07:02,660 --> 01:07:03,660
Speaker 4: to make a big deal of it.

1120
01:07:04,220 --> 01:07:07,120
Speaker 3: So anyways, good stuff.

1121
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:08,060
Speaker 2: We'll see.

1122
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:12,700
Speaker 3: Maybe at like month three or four, I'll be like, God,

1123
01:07:12,740 --> 01:07:14,520
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I miss you.

1124
01:07:14,580 --> 01:07:15,140
Speaker 2: I hope not.

1125
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:16,600
Speaker 1: I don't either. I think it's just going to keep

1126
01:07:16,620 --> 01:07:20,030
Speaker 1: getting better. I think. Yeah.

1127
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:21,160
Speaker 2: I think so too.

1128
01:07:21,810 --> 01:07:24,090
Speaker 3: It's kind of, it's cool.

1129
01:07:24,250 --> 01:07:24,510
Speaker 1: So.

1130
01:07:25,110 --> 01:07:26,890
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's just going to keep getting better.

1131
01:07:27,030 --> 01:07:32,740
Speaker 3: Maybe I'll start this movement to- Everybody leave, leave social media.

1132
01:07:32,980 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm not really on social media that much, but.

1133
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:37,780
Speaker 3: Yeah, you really aren't. You really aren't.

1134
01:07:39,460 --> 01:07:42,090
Speaker 4: I mean, Abby gets, there's so many of us on

1135
01:07:42,130 --> 01:07:45,650
Speaker 4: her teams and ministries and she works extremely closely with

1136
01:07:45,710 --> 01:07:49,250
Speaker 4: all of us and everything goes through approval and so forth.

1137
01:07:49,310 --> 01:07:55,140
Speaker 4: But Abby is blessed enough that. She has a lot

1138
01:07:55,180 --> 01:07:55,700
Speaker 4: of us that.

1139
01:07:55,940 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have people helping me, so I don't really.

1140
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:01,380
Speaker 2: That's really a blessing.

1141
01:08:00,940 --> 01:08:03,750
Speaker 1: To me because I just don't get on it.

1142
01:08:04,700 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 3: Right?

1143
01:08:05,260 --> 01:08:06,140
Speaker 1: So it's super.

1144
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:10,820
Speaker 4: Like this morning, literally, in between drop-offs at school, I'm

1145
01:08:10,860 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 4: sitting on my couch, legit, no lie, Abby, drinking my coffee,

1146
01:08:14,660 --> 01:08:20,200
Speaker 4: and I'm moderating some of the comments on your page.

1147
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:22,300
Speaker 3: It's like going through some of the.

1148
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:25,780
Speaker 1: Ridiculous talent.

1149
01:08:26,939 --> 01:08:33,320
Speaker 3: Right. But it's just something, isn't it?

1150
01:08:33,340 --> 01:08:33,720
Speaker 1: I know.

1151
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:36,620
Speaker 2: I just want to post. I just feel like I

1152
01:08:36,660 --> 01:08:36,900
Speaker 2: want to.

1153
01:08:37,740 --> 01:08:40,429
Speaker 1: There should be a social media where there's no comments allowed.

1154
01:08:40,450 --> 01:08:46,170
Speaker 1: I just want to post and nobody can say anything.

1155
01:08:48,350 --> 01:08:48,690
Speaker 2: Right?

1156
01:08:48,710 --> 01:08:50,469
Speaker 1: I really got what you did.

1157
01:08:50,350 --> 01:08:51,229
Speaker 2: About social media.

1158
01:08:51,250 --> 01:08:55,070
Speaker 3: Yeah. It's just so funny.
