I'm still not over Robert Duval yesterday. I 27 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 2: actually went back and watched a bunch of his like 28 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 2: clips on YouTube last night. And obviously there is the 29 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 2: newest trans shooting that came out of Rhode Island. This 30 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 2: time we're gonna unpack that. We also have Riley Gaines 31 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 2: joining the show halfway through the hour. Then we're going 32 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 2: to turn our attention to Prop four in Utah. Got 33 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 2: updates there. We made it across the finish line, at 34 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 2: least we hope in the Jerry manderin Prop four story. 35 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 2: Then we got Mike Davis in the second half of 36 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 2: hour two. But first I want to pay homage to 37 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 2: the great Rush Limbaugh. It is the five year anniversary 38 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 2: of Russia's passing. It is five months since we last 39 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 2: Charlie and Charlie loved Rush. Charlie often on this show 40 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 2: would remember Rush and would pay tribute to Rush and 41 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 2: Russian Charlie we're dear friends, actually, Charlie said on this 42 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 2: show after Russia's passing that Rush Limbaugh became a seven 43 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 2: figure donor to the organization. He did it privately and quietly. 44 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 2: That was the stipulation, and upon Russia's passing, Catherine Rush's 45 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: widow gave Charlie permission to reveal that make that public, 46 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 2: as Charlie wanted to honor Rush Limbaugh in a very 47 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: special way, and so I wanted to play just quickly. 48 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 2: Here at the outset a clip from Rush Limbaugh describing 49 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 2: the first time that he met Charlie Kirk three se. 50 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 3: I don't want to jinkson, but I'm just gonna tell you. 51 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 3: They brought Charlie Kirk to the golf course to meet 52 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 3: me about a month ago. He was in town to 53 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 3: set up this turning Point thing, and I spoke with 54 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 3: him for about a half hour. This is the kind 55 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 3: of guy that you can see really becoming big in 56 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 3: politics as he gets older. He just has the kind 57 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 3: the carriage, the person out on the charisma. You may 58 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 3: think this sounds weird, but I remember when Bill Clinton 59 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 3: became president, people were saying that they just knew Bill 60 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 3: Clinton was going to be president someday. In college. He 61 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 3: just had that kind of ambition and he impressed people 62 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 3: in a way that he could telling you that people 63 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 3: are saying the same things about about Charlie Kirk. 64 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 4: Did Charlie ever actually golf? 65 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 2: That Charlie hated golf? 66 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 4: I thought so. 67 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 2: Charlie hated golf. 68 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 4: That was one of our great similarities. 69 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 2: He thought it was a waste of time that men 70 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 2: should be spending more time with their families. 71 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 4: That is such a Charlie thing. He'd be like, this 72 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 4: takes four like what four hours to do? 73 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 2: I mean you could go you could do it in 74 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 2: two maybe if if it wasn't that out of it, 75 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 2: of course, but still it is a time consuming. 76 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 4: He really would get why Charlie liked college football, and 77 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 4: it was because you could watch it while doing other 78 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 4: things like running amfest. 79 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I have it on in the Yeah. And if 80 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 2: you said often he'd stopped look at the screen, a 81 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 2: play would happened. Then he moved on. That was Charlie's idea. 82 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 4: Remember during the World Cup and he was watching on 83 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 4: his phone in the middle of segments on the show 84 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 4: and he would get distracted while doing the segment. 85 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, rush was I'll never forget when we started 86 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 2: the show and Charlie said that you know, he aspired 87 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 2: to be more like Rush Limbaugh and that that was 88 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 2: sort of a northern star for Charlie. And then obviously 89 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 2: that picture that you see on screen was Rush Limbaugh. 90 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,239 Speaker 2: One of our events, we honored Rush with an award 91 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 2: down in Palm Beach, and then Rush got to introduce 92 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 2: President Trump at one of our student acts in Summits 93 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 2: as well, and Charlie went and picked him up, picked 94 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 2: Rush up. They drove in the car back together and 95 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 2: had a really long talk, and I just remember being 96 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 2: very jealous. I didn't get invited to go along with 97 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 2: Charlie to go pick up Rush, but Charlie told me 98 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 2: all about it, how amazing it was. 99 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 4: As you say, he modeled himself on it. And that 100 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 4: was one of Charlie's great strengths is he had, uh 101 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 4: you know, we had so many mentors, he had so 102 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 4: many models, and he had no shame, just his his 103 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 4: way of attacking so many issues was okay, well what 104 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 4: does the best person at this do? And I'll just 105 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,799 Speaker 4: copy them. And so that's why you would see funny 106 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 4: aspects of this, like you'd always call him Barrock, who 107 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 4: say Obama because Rush Limbaugh called him Brock who say 108 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 4: Obama when in high school? 109 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think. 110 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 4: Lady Graham is Also he would have the same nicknames 111 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 4: as Rush because Rush was one of the best at it. 112 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 4: Why wouldn't he copy him? 113 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, And well, so here's to you, Rush Limba. You 114 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 2: are still the goat, the greatest to ever do it. 115 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 2: Five years on, we miss Rush Limbaugh in this movement, 116 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 2: and now with Charlie Gunn. We missed Charlie so much 117 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 2: from this movement, and uh, there will never be another 118 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 2: like either of them. And so we pay We paid 119 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 2: tribute to the passing of Rush and the passion of 120 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 2: Charlie at the same time. Too. Great friends, to great patriots, 121 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 2: titans of their generations, and we miss them dearly. 122 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 4: He didn't get to be president, but he got to 123 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 4: be a prophet and the martyr, which are greater things. 124 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, and he helped elect a president. And so there 125 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 2: we are. Story one in the in the in the 126 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 2: can as it were. We want to turn our attention 127 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 2: to what happened in Rhode Island. This is a terrible 128 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 2: story at a youth hockey tournament where a transshooter turns 129 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 2: out to be the father Robert Dorgan. He was born 130 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 2: a male also went by Roberta Esposika. 131 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 4: That's the new euphemism that they've been using in articles. 132 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 4: He was a person who used two different names. 133 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 2: That's a new euphemism. And I think you know we 134 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 2: uh well, listen, let's just play the clip through twenty one. 135 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 2: That's for the suspect. And can you confirm whether the 136 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 2: subjects of male female if he is a transgender person, 137 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 2: is that something that he has in terms of information? 138 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 5: Say right now that we have identified the person the 139 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 5: essex by a birth name. The birth name was Robert Dorgan. 140 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 5: We have also learned that the person does go by 141 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 5: the name of Roberta. 142 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 2: Robert Roberta's it's even it was even weirder because it's Dorgan, 143 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 2: but then apparently went by Roberta Esposito. So possibly, I mean, 144 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 2: obviously a clearly unwell person. And the daughter confirms it. 145 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 5: My father was a su probably yea, what happened? 146 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 3: Goodly? 147 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 2: You've dead? Now what was the reasoning? 148 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: Was there a family argument? 149 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 4: He has mental health? 150 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 2: Is she is? 151 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 6: So? 152 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 7: Yes? 153 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: She goes on to describe those mental health issues a 154 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: little bit more. 155 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 4: She says that he had been struggling with mental health 156 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 4: for quite some time. 157 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 2: She said, quote, he was very sick. 158 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 4: So this is a little different. We wanted to talk 159 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 4: about this, of course, I mean, it's horrifying, but we've 160 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 4: really been we've just last week we were saying there 161 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 4: have been a wave of transgenders and related shootings, and 162 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 4: we said there is likely to be more. His is 163 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 4: a little different from some of the other ones we've 164 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 4: seen because it wasn't a young person who you know, 165 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 4: was diverted into this when they were unwell, you know, 166 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 4: in high school it was. He seems like it was 167 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 4: more of a midlife crisis type thing, like which is 168 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 4: another type, but that's a threat as well. 169 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 2: And no, I mean, so we have images of this guy, 170 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 2: I mean obviously unwell, you know, Roberta.

Surprising revival 205 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 2: gen Z men in highly educated lead return to religion, 206 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 2: So this is something. Yeah, there you go. There's a 207 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 2: graphic right up there, big news story. And I love 208 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 2: this because it kind of drafts off the last story. 209 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 2: And I'll explain why you saw this guy Robert Dugan 210 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 2: at another trans shooter. Did you know that four out 211 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 2: of ten liberal young gen Z liberal women are also 212 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 2: that are religiously unaffiliated. So four out of ten are 213 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 2: religiously unaffiliated. Four at a ten also are lgbt Q. 214 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 2: That's again, this is quite that's gen Z young gen 215 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 2: Z women that are liberals, progressive, four out of ten LGBTQ, 216 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 2: four out of ten religiously unaffiliated. But here's what's great. 217 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 2: Young men are flocking back to the churches. But they're 218 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 2: not flocking back to mainline denominations. They're not flocking back 219 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,839 Speaker 2: to weak, watered down professions of the Christian faith. They 220 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 2: want the high I say. 221 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 4: I no one has ever like excitedly posted like I am. 222 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 4: I am excited to announce that I have been baptized 223 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:49,239 Speaker 4: into you know, the Evangelical Lutheran churches. Sorry, my dad's XCLCA. 224 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 4: I got a dunk on them. 225 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 2: But this is what's this is what's fascinating. So they 226 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 2: they document a new report from Chapman Center and Demographics 227 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 2: and Policy d d D. For the first time in decades, 228 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 2: Pew research that in the US at least, Christianity has 229 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 2: stopped stopped its nose dive as more people begin to 230 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 2: see the efficacy and the rewards of religious faith in practice. 231 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 2: So where are they going? They are returning to Orthodox 232 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 2: faith Christian Orthodox, Greek Orthodox, Eastern Orthodox. Those churches are booming, 233 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 2: like almost one hundred percent increase in new converts, Catholic churches, 234 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 2: Conservative Catholic churches are booming, Conservative Protestant churches are booming, 235 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 2: Charismatic churches are booming. Those are all like high octane, 236 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 2: give it to me straight. 237 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 4: The most interesting part to me is that highly educated subset, 238 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 4: because we should be Frank Charlie saw evidence of revival. 239 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 4: We've seen evidence of revival, but at like the big picture, 240 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 4: it's not necessarily showing up in Poland. It's that the. 241 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 2: Decline has stopped. 242 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 4: And yet if you talk to people, if you're in DC, 243 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 4: if you're in for example, like organized conservative circles, everyone 244 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 4: can see that there is some there's like this revival 245 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 4: that young people are joining in. They're showing up a 246 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 4: lot more people see it on the ground. And what 247 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 4: I think you're seeing is you're seeing a big preference 248 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 4: shift among the biggest kind of the cultural influencers. Things 249 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 4: that go downstream. So if this was twenty years ago, 250 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 4: you'd be saying all the highly educated are bailing on religion, 251 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 4: and then that percolates downstream. It's kind of like it's 252 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 4: actually kind of like the trans epidemic that started with 253 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 4: a few elites and then now we're seeing it spread 254 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 4: everywhere else. 255 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 2: Well, we could see it in ninety two. Here's the 256 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 2: graph weekly religious attendance by education. Graduate degrees are actually 257 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 2: the most likely to attend every week. Bachelor's degree just 258 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 2: slightly below associate's degree. The lowest are high school graduates, 259 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 2: which is fascinating. Yeah, it's it's almost like and you 260 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 2: see this with a lot of scientists too, A lot 261 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 2: of scientists have found faith. A lot of you know, 262 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 2: the guy who cracked the human genome devout Christian. So 263 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 2: this it doesn't surprise me in the one sense, because 264 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 2: the Gospels and the scriptures are as deep and as 265 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 2: wide and as complex as you can go. You can 266 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 2: take it at a one oh one level, which is 267 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 2: deeply profound, certainly, but the deeper you go into scriptures, 268 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 2: the more tie ins, the more parallels, the more the 269 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 2: richness just expands and explodes, the deeper you're willing to 270 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 2: go with it. 271 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 4: And I think there's so much there's such rising awareness 272 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 4: of just I remember twenty years ago, so much smugness 273 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 4: because people had grown up in such a culturally Christian 274 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 4: environment that it could all be thrown away. It was 275 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 4: like irrelevant, it was old fashioned. You know, we can 276 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 4: use reason to do all these things. In the past 277 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 4: twenty years have seen that total vindication of how important 278 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 4: faith is as the scaffolding for life to make keep 279 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 4: everything from going to hell. 280 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 2: Basically, well, I think there was a I think people 281 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 2: took it for granted that the culture was sort of 282 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 2: stable and roughly approximately Christian, and therefore, if you didn't 283 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 2: participate in a weekly service, for example, you would still 284 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 2: go out into the world and it would still feel 285 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 2: approximately Christian, because all of society is blessed by the 286 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 2: Christian faith. All of Western society's best by people. I have 287 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 2: seen families like families disintegration. They're seeing, Actually it is 288 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 2: you kind of need that. Like I said, that faith 289 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 2: scaffolding to really flourish to the maximum of your abilities 290 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 2: in many cases. And I think for a lot of 291 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 2: people that's the kernel of well, if it's so much 292 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 2: better to have faith, I think that, especially among the 293 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 2: highly educated, helps lead that process to well, then might 294 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 2: it be true? Actually? 295 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 4: And then I think that takes a lot of people 296 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 4: into actual conversion. I think that's a story I've seen 297 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 4: play out many times. 298 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 2: And we are going to hit this CNN doc card. 299 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 2: There was a there's a new piece that CNN just 300 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 2: released this morning attacking the Charlie Kirk memorial as sort 301 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 2: of ground zero of Christian nationalism rising up. As if, 302 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 2: by the way, is if that was a bit. 303 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 4: If that hates to be a ground and zero for 304 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 4: any revival, then God bless that memorial and will wear 305 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 4: that with honor. 306 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. And by the way, our society 307 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 2: detached from the Christian faith is like a flower in 308 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 2: a vase. It might look beautiful for a short time, 309 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 2: but if it's disconnected from the roots, it will die, 310 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 2: it will wither. And the same is true for the 311 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 2: American culture. For Western Civilization writ large that if we 312 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 2: do not re establish a connection with the root, the 313 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 2: tree will wither, the fruit will be bad. So we 314 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 2: need our faith. So this is one of the most 315 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 2: important positive signs that you could see in the news 316 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 2: today that young people, especially young men, because I believe 317 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 2: young women will follow young men going back to church, 318 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 2: wanting to get married, wanting to have families, wanting to 319 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 2: build a life of purpose. Is one of the truly 320 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 2: most positive signs that you could see in any news 321 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 2: clipping across the landscape of the media. The fact that 322 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 2: it won't get more press coverage is a darn shame, 323 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 2: But we are going to cover it here because it's 324 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 2: truly important and something Charlie poured his life into and 325 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 2: I'm so glad to see real clear investigations highlight this 326 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 2: truly important development for a lot of Americans. The healthcare 327 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 2: system is reactive. You get sick first, and then you 328 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 2: wait for an appointment, Then insurance decides what you're allowed 329 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 2: to have, and suddenly the medication you need is delayed 330 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 2: or it's not available. That is where All Family Pharmacy 331 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 2: is different. This is not a typical pharmacy. It's family owned. 332 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 2: I know these guys. They're great guys, works with license doctors, 333 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 2: and is built around a simple idea. That's the idea 334 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 2: that you should have the freedom to make informed choices 335 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 2: about your own health and the ability to prepare ahead 336 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 2: of time, so you're not reactive anymore.

Good 351 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 2: to see you. 352 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 5: How are you. 353 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 2: We're doing well. We're covering this story though, and I 354 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 2: thought of you because you are one of the leading 355 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 2: voices when it comes to I would say, the mental 356 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 2: illness of the trans insanity that has taken over women's sports, 357 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 2: that has taken over so many aspects of our public 358 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 2: dialogue and discourse. And now we're seeing this repeated troubling, 359 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 2: you know, one after the other incidents of shootings involving 360 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 2: trans shooters, and it's kind of like, win, are we 361 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,239 Speaker 2: going to actually raise the alarm? Call it what it is, 362 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 2: that this is an epidemic of trans violence. I wanted 363 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 2: to get your opinion on this of how we even 364 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 2: got here you know, I said, I joked with you, Riley, 365 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 2: I said, you're not a doctor, but you know, you know, 366 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 2: but you've been studying this issue and your response was beautiful, 367 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 2: So maybe let's start there. Yeah. 368 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 7: Well, when we were talking on the phone today, you 369 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 7: did you said you're not a doctor, and I said, well, Andrew, 370 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,719 Speaker 7: you don't have to be a doctor to understand number one, 371 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 7: the basis of the issue, right, gender ideology as a whole, 372 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 7: the harm that it's causing, the destruction that it's causing, 373 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 7: and now what we've seen, the death literal, I mean, 374 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 7: how innocent lives are being prematurely taken from this planet, 375 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 7: Charlie Kirk being one of those we saw in Nashville 376 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 7: my backyard, or three little nine year olds, I think 377 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 7: three adults as well in that scenario we saw. Obviously 378 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 7: what happened in Canada would happen in Minneapolis and just 379 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 7: in Rhode Island this week. This is a very destructive 380 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 7: mental illness diseases, you said, epidemics, social epidemic and contagion 381 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 7: that is infecting, plaguing society. You don't have to be 382 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 7: a doctor to speak to this. And you ask why, right, 383 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 7: which is the million dollar question. But I think pretty plainly, 384 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 7: pretty simply, and at least how I understand. I think 385 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 7: there's a couple routes you could go here, But I 386 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 7: think what would resonate with most people is the problem. 387 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 7: This is the problem with the affirmation model that we 388 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 7: have been seen being used. Whether it's the medicalization side 389 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 7: of things, whether it's the respecting pronouns, this is the 390 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 7: problem because think about what we are affirming. By being 391 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 7: accepting and affirming of this, we are really only deepening 392 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 7: the eventual damage that is lurking underneath the surface. And 393 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 7: I say underneath the surface, because when we're talking about 394 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 7: this demographic, oftentimes these are people with underlying conditions such 395 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 7: as depression, anxiety, other personality or mood disorders, and those 396 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 7: aren't the things that are being treated by these doctors 397 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 7: or surgeons, healthcare professionals or therapists. Know they're being affirmed 398 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 7: to believe that they were correct to feel as if 399 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 7: they're born wrong. And that's a horrible message that anyone 400 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 7: of course children, but even adults for that matter. That's 401 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 7: the message that they're receiving, is that they're correct to 402 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 7: feel as if they're born wrong. So it's a really horrible, 403 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 7: horrible thing. Prayers to the family of the victims. And 404 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 7: I think it just leads with the question of you know, 405 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 7: how many more times do we have to see this? 406 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 7: What has to be done? What is the answer? I 407 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 7: can tell you what the answer is. 408 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 6: Not. 409 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 7: The answer is not gun control, because guess what, in 410 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 7: Canada and in Rhode Island, where both of these atrocities 411 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 7: in the past week took place, there are already strict 412 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 7: gun laws. Okay, so gun control that would not have 413 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 7: worked because criminals, they don't trouble themselves with the laws. 414 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 7: Why by enforcing gun laws, really, what you're doing is 415 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 7: keeping the guns out of hands of good people who 416 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 7: could prevent these tragedies. 417 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 2: So horrible. RLL Riley. Yeah, And you said the family 418 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 2: of the victims, that's his family. So he killed his son. 419 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 2: His son was a senior in high school, and the 420 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 2: mother of his son. And I said, wow at one 421 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 2: point when you were talking, because you basically verbatim took 422 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 2: a line of Charlie's from twenty twenty three after another 423 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 2: one of these incidents had happened. I'm gonna go ahead 424 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 2: and play that clip. 425 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: Three seventy eight trans people have been made into kind 426 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,199 Speaker 1: of the sacred cow of American politics. You can't question it, 427 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: you can't criticize it, and they believe they can threaten 428 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,199 Speaker 1: whoever they want. This is the ultimate top of the 429 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: Impression Olympics. How many dead kids is it gonna take 430 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: for us to say we've probably gone too far here 431 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: and we should just ask a couple of questions. How 432 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: many mass shootings have to happen where we probably say, 433 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: wait a second, you know, can we just calm down? 434 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, you asked the same question, right, How many of 435 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,959 Speaker 2: these incidents is it gonna take before we say the 436 00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 2: most mentally unstable, unwell, upset, bitter, what, whatever the diagnosis is. 437 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 2: How many incidents is it going to take before we 438 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 2: stop pouring SSRIs down these people? How many hormone replacement therapies, 439 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 2: this cocktail of drugs that we are giving the most 440 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 2: unstable people in our society. 441 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:19,239 Speaker 7: Yeah, First, let me just say it's so hard to 442 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 7: listen to a video of Charlie Kirk. Honestly, I don't know. 443 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 7: I know some people have found comfort in watching clips 444 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 7: of his, but I really haven't. It's been really like 445 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 7: difficult to listen and especially this clip and listening to 446 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 7: him speak to what would ultimately and prematurely take his life. 447 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 7: What just a really horrible thing. But yeah, and talking 448 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 7: about the SSRIs, I think that's another reason why we 449 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 7: haven't seen, especially those who call themselves healthcare professionals, that 450 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 7: really question administering synthetic and unnatural chemicals and substances to 451 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 7: those who identify as trans because it opens it it 452 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 7: opens the door for broader questions to those SSRIs SNRIs. 453 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 7: You know, antidepressant medication that are overly diagnosed and overly prescribed. 454 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 7: Now that is not me saying that antidepressants aren't useful 455 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 7: and beneficial for some people, but they are being prescribed 456 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 7: at an alarming rate, especially to people among my generation. 457 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 7: And when you look at things, and going back to 458 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,719 Speaker 7: talking about administering these these chemicals and hormones to minors 459 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 7: or adults for that matter, when you look at the 460 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 7: effects of something like testosterone, what that has increased impulsivity, 461 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 7: increased aggression, short temper It really only magnifies the issues 462 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 7: that are there. As opposed to creating new ones or 463 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 7: diminishing them. It magnifies those underlying things. So again, when 464 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 7: you're talking about which is a commonality someone with underlying 465 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 7: mood disorders such as ocds such as bipolar disorder or 466 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 7: obsessed or ADHD. However, it is depression anxiety that's what's 467 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 7: being magnified here and again, I think a large part 468 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 7: of why we're seeing so many horrible tragedies committed. 469 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you asked a question earlier, you said, what 470 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 2: is the solution, Well, we know the solution isn't to 471 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 2: affirm a disease and say yes, you can have more 472 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 2: and more of your own disease, your own situation. Now, 473 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 2: adults are gonna choose what they're gonna choose. We do 474 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 2: have freedom in this country. They're gonna choose what they're 475 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 2: gonna choose. But one of the storylines that we saw 476 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 2: this morning that I think is tied into this when 477 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 2: we talk about solutions is the rise in faith. And 478 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 2: it's not what this is not. The kids are not 479 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 2: flocking back to water down Christianity. They're flocking back to 480 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 2: the old, the good, the true, those faiths that have 481 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 2: stood the test of time for millennia, and the Protestant 482 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 2: churches may be newer, but that that are preaching a 483 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 2: strong gospel, a masculine gospel, a you know it just straightforward, 484 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 2: unapologetic gospel of Jesus Christ that I believe is what 485 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 2: you're starting to see in culture. Is this pushback to 486 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 2: this destabilization societal anarchy that we're seeing. And maybe speak 487 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 2: to that, Riley, because you're a Christian, you're seeing this 488 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 2: with young people that you speak to. What is the 489 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 2: mechanism why are people flocking back to the faith, especially 490 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 2: young people. 491 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 7: Well, I think when analyzing religion, and I'll just speak 492 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 7: pretty personally here, I feel a total sense of serenity 493 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 7: and calmness and security and confidence in the stance that 494 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 7: I've taken despite the constant attacks or death threats that 495 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 7: are hurled my way. And honestly, Charlie was this way too, 496 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 7: and I think that was very evident in how he 497 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 7: conducted himself. How he's still willing to go out there 498 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 7: knowing that threats existed. It's because he knew that what 499 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 7: he was fighting for was the hope and the promise 500 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 7: of eternal life. That is the only place you will 501 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 7: ever find satisfaction. And I think oftentimes, especially when dissecting 502 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 7: gender ideology, these people are desperately looking for their identity. 503 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 7: They're looking for a place to find that identity. Well, 504 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 7: I know as a Christian that the only place that 505 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 7: you will find pure and total satisfaction is in placing 506 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 7: your identity in Christ. And I think a lot of 507 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 7: young people are becoming to understand that. They're realizing this, 508 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 7: and in that you're seeing a shift back to developing 509 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 7: that relationship with Christ seeking salvation. And a large part 510 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 7: of that is is the legacy that Charlie Kirk left. 511 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 7: And honestly, like, I hate talking about it like this 512 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 7: because it seems as if, you know, in speaking of 513 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 7: the good things that happened following Charlie's death, selfishly like 514 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 7: I'd rather him still be here. But it was one 515 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 7: of the consequences that we saw this revival, especially of 516 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 7: young people going to church that Sunday after Charlie Kirk's assassination. 517 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 7: I mean, there was no empty seat. People felt a conviction, 518 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 7: a calling to go back to open their Bible, to 519 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,719 Speaker 7: maybe buy a Bible for the first time in their life. 520 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 7: That's a really special thing, and it's again it's the 521 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 7: kind of life that Charlie Kirk lived. So we're seeing 522 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 7: a lot of inspiration in that, I think, especially in 523 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 7: my generation. 524 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, well said, and I'm with you. To be honest, 525 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 2: it's hard for me to watch Charlie clips. You know, 526 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 2: the team and the audience. I know that it means 527 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 2: a lot to people out there to see them, but 528 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 2: for me, it doesn't get easier. So I'm with you. 529 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 2: Riley Gaines, thank you so much for coming.

Isn't that how America 565 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 2: was founded? 566 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 6: Yeah? 567 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 4: I mean it's that classic thing where and antifa will 568 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 4: post you know, these World War two Antifa in World 569 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,479 Speaker 4: War Two when they would have they all considered their 570 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 4: great grandfathers like the worst fascist Samagin of course every 571 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 4: view they hold. 572 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm so same thing. 573 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 4: You're a Christian nationalist if you believe anything that ninety 574 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,479 Speaker 4: percent of Americans believed from seventeen seventy six to nineteen 575 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 4: seventy consider this. 576 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 2: So CNN does a piece Pamela Brown, who I know, 577 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 2: talking about the radicalization of people at Charlie's memorial because 578 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 2: Charlie was assassinated by a radical by as we talked 579 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 2: about with Riley, somebody that was animated at least in 580 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 2: part by his love affair with somebody that was trans 581 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 2: and instead of burning down the country like the real 582 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 2: radicals did, we held vigils and people bought Bibles and 583 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 2: they got baptized. How is that a bad thing? What 584 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 2: are we even talking about here? So let me play 585 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 2: the clip three eighty four and if you don't get 586 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 2: as ticked off as ide watching this, I don't know. 587 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 2: This is just really infuriating stuff. Three eighty four memorial 588 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 2: service was. 589 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 8: One of the most potent examples of the shift in 590 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 8: our culture that we're experiencing right now, where a large 591 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 8: segment of American Christians are being activated by these ideas, 592 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 8: radicalized by these ideas that say that they are the 593 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 8: persecuted ones and that they need to stand up for 594 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 8: Christians rights. 595 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 2: Well, you know, Charlie did get assassinated. You do realize 596 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 2: that whoever this guy is, what's his name, he deserves 597 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,479 Speaker 2: to be made a little bit famous for being an idiot. 598 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 4: I refuse to know the names of CNN personnel. 599 00:31:54,200 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 2: So we have a nation that was founded by Christians. 600 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 4: Christians if anything. 601 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 2: Yes, by the way, the only true form of Christianity 602 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 2: is a radical Christianity. There's Bible Versus talking about if 603 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 2: you're a lukewarm Christian, you will be spit out. 604 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 4: And it's it's one of those books Charlie liked Tom 605 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 4: Hollands dominion that we because we swim in the ocean 606 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 4: of Christianity even if you're not religious. 607 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 2: Actually, we don't. 608 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 4: Recognize how fundamentally radical Christianity was from its very beginnings, 609 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 4: that it totally remade the moral order of the Roman Empire, 610 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 4: of the other Europeans that converted to it, of the 611 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 4: Middle Easterners who converted to it, That everyone who ran 612 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 4: into Christianity in the first century, the second century, or 613 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 4: the third century. For the first time, they're thinking, what 614 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 4: in the world is this. It has to be a 615 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 4: radical faith. It is not a faith that is just 616 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 4: going with your completely innate, passive impulses that prevailed everywhere 617 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 4: around the world before it came along. 618 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,479 Speaker 2: Well, and this is the point. I mean, look at 619 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 2: what we talked about with the rise of gen Z. 620 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 2: Men going to church. They're going to the ancient churches 621 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 2: that have not bent the knee to the zeitgeist of 622 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 2: the cultural culture of the day. They they are going 623 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 2: with things that are proudly and unapologetically preaching the full Gospel, 624 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 2: the full weight of it. You know, they don't want 625 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 2: a weak, water down preaching style. They don't want that. 626 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 2: That's exactly what the world offers. They don't want pseudosocial 627 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 2: sciences with a pew, that's what the world offers. They 628 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 2: want radical Christianity that's boldly standing up for the principles 629 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ and his death on the cross, risen 630 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 2: from the dead on the third Day, appearing before the apostles, 631 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 2: and then five hundred and then five thousand. That's what 632 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 2: they want. They want the full thing, and they want 633 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,959 Speaker 2: people inspired by that faith to march into the public 634 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 2: square and to build a world that looks more like 635 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 2: the Kingdom of God that is the Christian faith. Let's 636 00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 2: go to the clip. 637 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 1: Charlie John Adams seamlessly said the Constitution was only written 638 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: for a moral, religious people. It was wholly inadequate for 639 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: the people of any other. The body politic of America 640 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 1: was so Christian and was so Protestant that our form 641 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: and structure of government was built for the people that 642 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 1: believed in. 643 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 2: Christ, our Lord. 644 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 1: One of the reasons we're living through a constitutional crisis 645 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 1: is that we no longer have a Christian nation, but 646 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: we have a Christian form of government, and they're incompatible. 647 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:23,879 Speaker 2: So you cannot have. 648 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: Liberty if you do not have a Christian population. 649 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 2: Our little thing that we were discussing has made its 650 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 2: way to Fox News. Three ninety four. 651 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 9: Young men report feeling culturally dislocated or villainized by progressive 652 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 9: secular discourse regarding masculinity. Traditional forms of Christianity, particularly Catholicism 653 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 9: and Orthodoxy, offer a narrative of responsibility, sacrifice, and hierarchy 654 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 9: that appeals to men seeking a defined role in a 655 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 9: fluid world. Now The report also breaks down weekly religious 656 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 9: attendance by education level, and those with postgraduate degrees are 657 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 9: at thirty percent, people with bachelor's degrees twenty eight percent. Emily, 658 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 9: to add to this a little bit, okay, it's a 659 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 9: worldwide phenomenon. Forty five percent increase in the number of 660 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 9: people baptized in France. In the UK they have seen 661 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 9: eighteen to twenty four year olds jump from four percent 662 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,360 Speaker 9: believers and attending church from twenty eighteen to sixteen percent. 663 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 9: But I love this. Most of this growth is concentrated 664 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 9: among Catholics and Pentecostals. A shout out to my evangelical 665 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:19,280 Speaker 9: crowd there. 666 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 4: Four percent, That's what it bottomed out in the UK. 667 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 2: What's crazy is is that they know they're talking about 668 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 2: how young men specifically feel alienated by a progressive discourse. 669 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 2: If you show that Yahoo again, just give me this 670 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 2: picture of this guy with his glasses saying they're being radicalized, 671 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 2: stand up for the Christian faith. Well, what do you 672 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,879 Speaker 2: think is going to happen when you target pro lifers 673 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 2: that are preying outside of abortion clinic? What do you 674 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 2: think is going to happen when you spy on Catholics 675 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,359 Speaker 2: and this is what young men feel alienated by. That's 676 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,759 Speaker 2: a Karen with a beard right there talking about the 677 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 2: rise of Christian nationalism. The rise of Christian nationalism is 678 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 2: why we didn't burned down cities when Charlie was killed. 679 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 2: What are they complaining about? What would you want in 680 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 2: its place? A bunch of Antifa thugs marching in the 681 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 2: streets throwing Molotov cocktails. What would you want in its place? 682 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:22,240 Speaker 2: More targets looted, more buildings burned. Mangioni's going around shooting 683 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 2: that the head of United Healthcare? Is that what you 684 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 2: really want? I just don't understand what they're so upset about. 685 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 2: This country is a Christian nation, was founded by Christians, 686 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 2: as Charlie said, And guess what Western civilization is defined 687 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 2: by one through line, Christianity. You are blessed by Christianity, CNN. 688 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,320 Speaker 2: You are blessed by the fact that Christians are still 689 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 2: driven to lead purposeful lives and get into politics, to 690 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 2: get into business, to have families. 691 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 4: If they don't like Christian nationalism, they are not going 692 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 4: to like whatever comes out Islamic nationalism. 693 00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,799 Speaker 2: Is that what you want? I don't think you want that? 694 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,720 Speaker 2: All right?

Let's go ahead and play cut. 697 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:12,719 Speaker 2: Do we have the number four or four? 698 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 6: Christian nationalism I do not agree with at all. I 699 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 6: think it's antithetical to the values of the early Church. 700 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:25,319 Speaker 6: And I think how do you reconcile the especially white 701 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,839 Speaker 6: Christians in this America marrying politics and power with their 702 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 6: faith in this country? 703 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 2: There's a lot there. 704 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,359 Speaker 1: I've never described myself as a Christian nationalist, so I'm 705 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: a Christian and a nationalist. So I've never used those two. 706 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 6: And then right there that and nationalist. 707 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 2: Where in the scriptures does. 708 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 1: A Christian thank you for by twenty ninety seven demand 709 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 1: the welfare of the nation that you are in because 710 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:46,880 Speaker 1: your welfare is tied to your nation's welfare. 711 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 2: Beautiful answer, It's true. We are called to support the 712 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 2: nation state. It was God that defined the boundary lines 713 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,840 Speaker 2: of the nations.
