1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,400 S1: Hi friends, this is Janet Parshall. Thanks so much for 2 00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,160 S1: downloading this podcast, and I hope you hear something that 3 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,560 S1: will really encourage and edify you. But before you start 4 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:09,400 S1: to listen, let me take a moment of your time 5 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,399 S1: and tell you about this month's truth tool. It's called 6 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,640 S1: secure How to Have a Healthy Attachment to God. And 7 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,360 S1: it follows that very often, whatever our relationship is like 8 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,000 S1: with authority figures, predominantly our parents, we somehow transferred to 9 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,040 S1: how we see God. So if we have an angry parent, 10 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,319 S1: he's an angry God. If it's a distant parent, he's 11 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,520 S1: a God who's not there. I think it's important we 12 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,680 S1: understand who God really is. And in this wonderful book 13 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,760 S1: called secure, you're going to discover the character of God 14 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,120 S1: and how deeply in love God is with you. It's 15 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,839 S1: our truth tool. Our truth tools are my way of 16 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,680 S1: saying thank you because we are listener supported radio. So 17 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,600 S1: if you'd like a copy of secure, just call eight 7758. 18 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,760 S1: That's eight 7758. Give a gift of any amount.

And in addition to that, you get 31 00:01:18,930 --> 00:01:21,850 S1: a weekly newsletter that includes some of my writing and 32 00:01:21,850 --> 00:01:24,410 S1: a little audio piece just for my partial partners. So 33 00:01:24,410 --> 00:01:27,369 S1: either way, thank you in advance for prayerfully considering the 34 00:01:27,370 --> 00:01:30,650 S1: opportunity to financially support in the market with Janet partial 35 00:01:30,650 --> 00:01:32,690 S1: and keeping it on the air now, I hope you 36 00:01:32,730 --> 00:01:34,890 S1: hear something that will encourage you to get out and 37 00:01:34,890 --> 00:01:37,810 S1: influence and occupy in the marketplace of ideas. 38 00:01:42,890 --> 00:01:45,610 S2: Welcome to In the Market with Janet Parshall. Today's program 39 00:01:45,610 --> 00:01:48,050 S2: is where Janet and her husband, Craig, take some of 40 00:01:48,050 --> 00:01:51,170 S2: the stories making headlines this week and offer their insight 41 00:01:51,170 --> 00:01:54,130 S2: and analysis. Before they get started, let's take a quick 42 00:01:54,130 --> 00:01:56,250 S2: look back at some of the highlights from the week. 43 00:02:01,830 --> 00:02:03,910 S3: If we're talking about, let's say, the late, the late 44 00:02:03,910 --> 00:02:07,030 S3: Roman Empire when we see the embrace of Christianity. So 45 00:02:07,070 --> 00:02:09,470 S3: and then, then at various stages throughout, we're going to 46 00:02:09,470 --> 00:02:12,630 S3: have a variety of empires through those Middle Ages or, 47 00:02:12,669 --> 00:02:14,710 S3: you know, through those first thousand years that I cover 48 00:02:14,710 --> 00:02:17,510 S3: in the book. And so, yes, you've got the the 49 00:02:17,550 --> 00:02:21,110 S3: late Roman Empire, you've got the Byzantine Empire, you've got 50 00:02:21,150 --> 00:02:24,190 S3: Charlemagne's Empire, you've got a series of empires that are 51 00:02:24,190 --> 00:02:27,669 S3: going to be embracing the faith. And they they have 52 00:02:27,669 --> 00:02:32,550 S3: a very close connection of the Christian faith with their politics. 53 00:02:32,910 --> 00:02:35,350 S4: The Word of God is alive and powerful. It's sharper 54 00:02:35,350 --> 00:02:39,030 S4: than any two edged sword that God has revealed. The 55 00:02:39,030 --> 00:02:40,990 S4: way to live. It doesn't mean we're going to do 56 00:02:40,990 --> 00:02:43,950 S4: it perfectly, but God's way is always right. God's way 57 00:02:43,950 --> 00:02:48,030 S4: is always better. God's way always makes sense that we 58 00:02:48,030 --> 00:02:51,549 S4: want the best life. I mean, so if Jesus himself 59 00:02:51,830 --> 00:02:54,710 S4: came and said, I have come that you may have 60 00:02:54,710 --> 00:02:58,639 S4: life and may have it abundantly, right? That doesn't mean 61 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,560 S4: that we're going to be rich and rolling in it. 62 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,680 S4: It's not the prosperity gospel in that regard, but it 63 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,600 S4: is saying we're going to have a satisfaction even in 64 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,520 S4: this life. It gives us purpose in how we live. 65 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,600 S4: And we've just got to get back to the book. 66 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,440 S5: There's nobody else. Not Hitler, not Napoleon, not Mother Teresa, 67 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,400 S5: not nobody. Only Jesus has his name used as a 68 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,079 S5: cuss word. Isn't that crazy? And that's because Satan hates 69 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,160 S5: Jesus because of who he is and what he did. 70 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,480 S5: He released the captives that he had held in death. 71 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,320 S5: And Jesus said, why the world hates him. He said 72 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,040 S5: in John seven verse seven, the world hates me because 73 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,920 S5: I testify of its deeds. They're evil. So the world 74 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,200 S5: hates Jesus and uses his name as a cuss word 75 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,520 S5: for the same reason criminals hate the police. They stand 76 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,320 S5: for righteousness, and criminals don't. Sinners stand for love of sin? 77 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,840 S5: And they know that God stands for righteousness in Christ. 78 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,720 S6: This has been a victory stele of the Arameans, that 79 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,600 S6: one of the enemies of the northern Kingdom of Israel 80 00:03:56,060 --> 00:03:59,500 S6: at that time. This was dated to the ninth century BC, 81 00:04:00,220 --> 00:04:03,420 S6: and in it the king. This Aramean king talks about 82 00:04:03,420 --> 00:04:07,420 S6: how he had defeated his enemies, the kings of Judah 83 00:04:07,420 --> 00:04:10,940 S6: and Israel, and then he references that they are of 84 00:04:10,940 --> 00:04:15,580 S6: the House of David. And so suddenly we have not 85 00:04:15,580 --> 00:04:19,500 S6: only David's name given, but we have this phrase House 86 00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:23,020 S6: of David, which actually occurs in the Book of Samuel, 87 00:04:23,020 --> 00:04:27,380 S6: for example, and it refers to the dynasty of kings 88 00:04:27,380 --> 00:04:28,540 S6: that David started. 89 00:04:30,260 --> 00:04:32,700 S2: To hear the full interviews from any of those guests 90 00:04:32,740 --> 00:04:35,940 S2: go to in the market with Janet Parshall, and click 91 00:04:35,940 --> 00:04:38,940 S2: on past programs.

It signed an 100 00:05:01,630 --> 00:05:04,830 S9: agreement with Armenia to cooperate on civil nuclear power. 101 00:05:04,870 --> 00:05:09,550 S10: US job growth accelerated in January and the unemployment rate fell. 102 00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:12,830 S2: Janet and Craig have lots to share, and they'll put 103 00:05:12,830 --> 00:05:15,310 S2: the first story on the table when we return.

Developing a healthy attachment to 107 00:05:43,350 --> 00:05:46,589 S1: God helps us form good relationships with others, and that's 108 00:05:46,589 --> 00:05:49,229 S1: why I've chosen secure how to have a healthy attachment 109 00:05:49,230 --> 00:05:51,870 S1: to God. As this month's truth tool, discover how real 110 00:05:51,870 --> 00:05:54,680 S1: security is found in your relationship with God.

Mr. 115 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,440 S1: Craig partial is joining me. And as we usually do 116 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,280 S1: on Friday, we're going to take a look at a 117 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,080 S1: bunch of topics out there, but we're going to look 118 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,040 S1: at them from a biblical perspective. This is how we 119 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,960 S1: grow up in him. It's how we practice applied Christianity. 120 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,240 S1: It's how we become good Bereans. We're testing all things. 121 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,040 S1: We've got a lot to talk about this hour, so 122 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,000 S1: get ready, put on your seatbelts, keep your hand inside 123 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,200 S1: the ride at all times because we move rather quickly. 124 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,240 S1: On Wednesday, the European Parliament voted to adopt a resolution 125 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:39,200 S1: establishing the European Union's priorities for negotiations at the UN 126 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:44,039 S1: Commission on the Status of Women. The principal goal bodily 127 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:49,160 S1: the principle principle global body dedicated to gender equality, which 128 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,320 S1: convenes in New York next month. I know a little 129 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,700 S1: something about this. I represented our country at this particular 130 00:06:55,700 --> 00:06:59,500 S1: event a few years ago. Uh, and it was amazing. Uh, 131 00:07:00,060 --> 00:07:03,659 S1: my job was to help bring American values into the conversation. And, boy, 132 00:07:03,820 --> 00:07:05,660 S1: it was an uphill climb in so many ways when 133 00:07:05,660 --> 00:07:09,060 S1: it comes to this topic. The resolution, always progressive in 134 00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:12,980 S1: many ways, includes protection for abortion access, opposition to online 135 00:07:12,980 --> 00:07:15,380 S1: hate speech. You can understand why we had a problem 136 00:07:15,380 --> 00:07:18,380 S1: here in the United States, but perhaps problem in that 137 00:07:18,420 --> 00:07:22,780 S1: there's so much of this non-biblical centric worldview that's just 138 00:07:22,780 --> 00:07:26,380 S1: covering the planet right now, and it's just, uh, well, 139 00:07:26,380 --> 00:07:27,980 S1: the world's on track. Can I say it that way? 140 00:07:27,980 --> 00:07:30,100 S1: The world is doing exactly what the world is supposed 141 00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:31,580 S1: to be doing. So none of this should catch you 142 00:07:31,580 --> 00:07:34,500 S1: off guard whatsoever. Uh, but I have to tell you 143 00:07:34,500 --> 00:07:36,900 S1: also that there were several parts of this that were 144 00:07:36,900 --> 00:07:40,540 S1: very problematic, including, by the way, a vote by the 145 00:07:40,580 --> 00:07:44,620 S1: EU that is now going to defend, quote unquote, trans rights. 146 00:07:44,620 --> 00:07:47,620 S1: In fact, the UN just adopted a resolution that says, 147 00:07:47,660 --> 00:07:52,390 S1: are you ready for this? Trans women are women? No, 148 00:07:52,390 --> 00:07:55,510 S1: they are not. How do I know? Just do a 149 00:07:55,510 --> 00:07:58,990 S1: little swab inside your cheek, okay? XX xy. It's really simple. 150 00:07:58,990 --> 00:08:02,310 S1: Male and female. He created them both. Oh, surprising science 151 00:08:02,310 --> 00:08:05,030 S1: affirms that truth. You are either a man or a woman. 152 00:08:05,070 --> 00:08:07,790 S1: How you feel about it is immaterial. You are a 153 00:08:07,790 --> 00:08:10,110 S1: man or you are a woman. I posted again on 154 00:08:10,110 --> 00:08:13,710 S1: X this week about a young man competing against women 155 00:08:13,710 --> 00:08:15,750 S1: in track and field, and of course, he obliterated all 156 00:08:15,750 --> 00:08:18,910 S1: of the female athletes. No surprise there. Uh, we've got 157 00:08:18,910 --> 00:08:22,870 S1: a trans athlete that's participating in the Olympics, the Algerian 158 00:08:22,870 --> 00:08:27,230 S1: boxer now admits, who pummeled the Italian female boxer. Oh 159 00:08:27,270 --> 00:08:29,070 S1: that's right. Now, he says, I guess it was a 160 00:08:29,070 --> 00:08:31,910 S1: man all along. So this issue is not going away 161 00:08:31,910 --> 00:08:33,950 S1: any time soon, and I don't think it will, because 162 00:08:33,990 --> 00:08:36,350 S1: at its core, it's a spiritual battle, which so many 163 00:08:36,350 --> 00:08:38,469 S1: of the issues we talk about are, at their core, 164 00:08:38,470 --> 00:08:42,230 S1: spiritual values. So I find it interesting. He starts, let's 165 00:08:42,230 --> 00:08:45,150 S1: start at the very beginning. A very good place to start. Okay. 166 00:08:45,190 --> 00:08:46,870 S1: So we're going to start with what says in the 167 00:08:46,870 --> 00:08:52,130 S1: book of Genesis, God created male and female, not people 168 00:08:52,130 --> 00:08:53,810 S1: who feel like a man or feel like a woman. 169 00:08:53,809 --> 00:08:55,810 S1: That is a problem in a sin sick, fallen world 170 00:08:55,809 --> 00:08:58,850 S1: when you live East of Eden. He created men and 171 00:08:58,850 --> 00:09:02,970 S1: he created women markedly, distinctively different, beneficial to one another. 172 00:09:03,890 --> 00:09:06,010 S1: The sovereignty of God is revealed in the fact that 173 00:09:06,010 --> 00:09:07,890 S1: I sit here as a woman, and he sits there 174 00:09:07,890 --> 00:09:10,130 S1: as a man. That is everything to do with the 175 00:09:10,130 --> 00:09:12,930 S1: character and the nature and the sovereignty of God. So 176 00:09:12,929 --> 00:09:15,250 S1: along comes this EU. I have a problem with the 177 00:09:15,250 --> 00:09:17,770 S1: European Union first and foremost, just as a governing unit 178 00:09:17,770 --> 00:09:20,890 S1: and where it fits into American jurisprudence. And so they've 179 00:09:20,929 --> 00:09:25,450 S1: adopted this resolution, and it passed overwhelmingly that trans women 180 00:09:25,450 --> 00:09:27,410 S1: are women. Now, Craig, I just got to stop for 181 00:09:27,410 --> 00:09:29,930 S1: a minute and say, you have a governing body that 182 00:09:30,410 --> 00:09:36,090 S1: passes a falsehood. It's like saying there is no sun 183 00:09:36,410 --> 00:09:38,770 S1: and it passes by an overwhelming majority. Now you woke 184 00:09:38,770 --> 00:09:40,170 S1: up this morning and you looked in the sky and 185 00:09:40,170 --> 00:09:41,970 S1: you went, oh, I got to squint. That sun's coming 186 00:09:41,970 --> 00:09:44,010 S1: through my bedroom window. Thank you Lord. This is the 187 00:09:44,010 --> 00:09:46,410 S1: day which the Lord has made. Let me rejoice and 188 00:09:46,410 --> 00:09:48,740 S1: be glad in it. But now I've got a governing 189 00:09:48,740 --> 00:09:53,140 S1: body that says there is no son. Well, what's a 190 00:09:53,140 --> 00:09:55,620 S1: person to do? I mean, hey, it's a governing body. 191 00:09:55,620 --> 00:09:58,820 S1: They are, after all, the European Union. And they've just 192 00:09:58,860 --> 00:10:01,819 S1: ruled that a man is not a man. If a 193 00:10:01,820 --> 00:10:05,339 S1: man feels like a woman, he's a trans woman, which 194 00:10:05,340 --> 00:10:10,420 S1: therefore makes him a woman. Says the rabbit as he 195 00:10:10,420 --> 00:10:12,500 S1: falls down the hole in a Lewis Carroll novel. Talk 196 00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:13,300 S1: to me about this. 197 00:10:13,340 --> 00:10:16,780 S11: You know, whenever the Emperor walks into the room without clothes, 198 00:10:16,780 --> 00:10:22,300 S11: he doesn't want to hear from the underlings that he's naked. Um, and, uh, 199 00:10:23,179 --> 00:10:27,500 S11: history has borne, borne that out, that the mere possession 200 00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:33,380 S11: of power sometimes leads those who are in power, whether 201 00:10:33,380 --> 00:10:37,620 S11: legitimate and in the EU, is what I consider, uh, 202 00:10:37,620 --> 00:10:42,180 S11: the European Union is a legitimately created type of government body. 203 00:10:42,260 --> 00:10:46,780 S11: I disagree with a lot of their proposals. Um, but, 204 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,640 S11: this is what Europe wanted and this is what Europe has. 205 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:56,000 S11: But number one, um, it was a resolution, not a law. Uh, 206 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,280 S11: similar to the resolutions that Congress passes that don't have 207 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:03,000 S11: any teeth in them. But it's also a troubling indication 208 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,240 S11: of where their head is at with regard to the 209 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,520 S11: values they want to impose through influence. You know, government 210 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:15,720 S11: bodies have one have an official duty of creating law. 211 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,640 S11: Our Congress has the job of making law. The Supreme 212 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,080 S11: Court and all the courts under it have the job 213 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,960 S11: of interpreting the law and the executive branch, the president 214 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,120 S11: and all his federal agencies, um, have the job of, uh, 215 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,560 S11: implementing and enforcing the law. That's the way it is. However, 216 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,360 S11: governments also have sort of an invisible job as well, 217 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:44,120 S11: which is to pattern certain values. And that's a very, 218 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,930 S11: very important and sometimes dangerous influence because the EU has 219 00:11:48,929 --> 00:11:50,970 S11: decided that they're going to use this, what I call 220 00:11:50,970 --> 00:11:57,130 S11: a pedagogical, a teaching, um, influence that leaders have over 221 00:11:57,170 --> 00:11:59,810 S11: in the EU, or whether it's our Congress or whether 222 00:11:59,809 --> 00:12:04,650 S11: it's our president. Uh, values are implicitly and sometimes expressly, uh, 223 00:12:04,770 --> 00:12:08,010 S11: suggested by leaders. And they get, you know, they get 224 00:12:08,010 --> 00:12:10,809 S11: a lot of traction on media and they influence people's 225 00:12:10,809 --> 00:12:14,250 S11: hearts and minds. So is this really what they want 226 00:12:14,250 --> 00:12:18,610 S11: to influence the hearts and minds of Europeans about? Apparently, yes. 227 00:12:18,610 --> 00:12:20,970 S11: It's not a law. It's a resolution. But what it's 228 00:12:20,970 --> 00:12:25,490 S11: saying is you're really not a good person. You're in fact, 229 00:12:25,490 --> 00:12:29,089 S11: maybe kind of an enemy of the state's ideas of 230 00:12:29,090 --> 00:12:33,290 S11: what's fair. If you don't buy into this idea of, uh, 231 00:12:33,290 --> 00:12:37,370 S11: you know, trans people being genuinely of the gender that 232 00:12:37,370 --> 00:12:40,010 S11: they choose as opposed to what their biology and DNA. 233 00:12:40,210 --> 00:12:42,490 S1: Validating feelings and feelings are not good or bad. They 234 00:12:42,490 --> 00:12:44,900 S1: just are. And sometimes their feelings can get us into trouble. 235 00:12:44,900 --> 00:12:49,300 S1: The vote was 340 to 141, with 68 members abstaining. Again, 236 00:12:49,300 --> 00:12:51,740 S1: as you pointed out, Craig, it is a non-binding resolution, 237 00:12:51,740 --> 00:12:55,420 S1: but it does establish a significant policy position for the 238 00:12:55,420 --> 00:12:59,060 S1: European Parliament moving forward closer to home. The view I 239 00:12:59,059 --> 00:13:01,540 S1: don't watch the view. I have a smart TV. That's 240 00:13:01,540 --> 00:13:05,180 S1: why I digress. So the governor of Kentucky gets on 241 00:13:05,220 --> 00:13:08,660 S1: the view and he makes this statement on the issue. 242 00:13:08,700 --> 00:13:09,460 S1: Have a listen. 243 00:13:09,660 --> 00:13:12,140 S12: We rarely talk about the why. People want to know 244 00:13:12,140 --> 00:13:14,660 S12: what drives us, especially in a world with social media 245 00:13:14,660 --> 00:13:18,620 S12: where everyone is looking for the next authentic thing. For me, 246 00:13:18,620 --> 00:13:21,500 S12: that's my faith. Most of the decisions I make are 247 00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:23,300 S12: based on that golden rule that says we love our 248 00:13:23,300 --> 00:13:25,780 S12: neighbor as ourself. And that parable, the Good Samaritan that 249 00:13:25,780 --> 00:13:29,020 S12: says everyone is our neighbor. And so when I've taken 250 00:13:29,059 --> 00:13:33,380 S12: actions like vetoing the nastiest piece of anti-LGBTQ legislation that 251 00:13:33,380 --> 00:13:36,140 S12: ever came through my state, I described it in those terms. 252 00:13:36,220 --> 00:13:38,500 S12: I said, my faith teaches me that all children are 253 00:13:38,500 --> 00:13:40,780 S12: children of God, and I didn't want people picking on 254 00:13:40,780 --> 00:13:41,460 S12: those kids. 255 00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:45,160 S1: Okay, now that's good. So I'm glad he believes that. 256 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,120 S1: And I too agree with him that all children are 257 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,520 S1: children of God. And so when you love somebody and 258 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,320 S1: this goes back to a conversation I had with Doctor 259 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,720 S1: Gary Chapman earlier this week about the love language that 260 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,440 S1: matters most. Love is so much more than affection. It 261 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,360 S1: is an action word. I love my neighbor enough to 262 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,680 S1: not lie to my neighbor. I love my neighbor enough 263 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,240 S1: to not speak into illusion, delusion that in the end, 264 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,480 S1: is going to hurt them. It's going to be harmful 265 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,640 S1: for them. I love my neighbor enough to remind them 266 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,800 S1: how precious and invaluable they are in the sight of God, 267 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,400 S1: and that he made them just the way they are, 268 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,880 S1: either a man or a woman. And by the way, 269 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,520 S1: when you get somebody like the governor of Kentucky making 270 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,920 S1: that kind of a declaration and deciding that he's going 271 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,040 S1: to veto that legislation in his state, he's moving in 272 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,560 S1: the wrong direction publicly, overwhelmingly. Now the public is going, no, 273 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,480 S1: we don't support this stuff for minors. We think it's 274 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:34,360 S1: a terrible idea. 275 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,040 S11: And the medical professions are finally coming around. 276 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:37,720 S1: Thank you Lord. 277 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:43,130 S11: And perhaps because now they have permission to be more 278 00:14:43,130 --> 00:14:47,210 S11: scientifically accurate and admit the fact that they were intimidated 279 00:14:47,210 --> 00:14:49,850 S11: in the first place to bow to some of these 280 00:14:49,850 --> 00:14:51,130 S11: sociological arguments. 281 00:14:51,170 --> 00:14:52,970 S1: To that end, to backfill, we have a new report 282 00:14:52,970 --> 00:14:56,010 S1: from HHS that talks about the dangers, very much parallels 283 00:14:56,010 --> 00:14:58,650 S1: what they found in the Cass report, the longitudinal study 284 00:14:58,650 --> 00:15:01,010 S1: that came out of the UK. And we've now got 285 00:15:01,010 --> 00:15:04,170 S1: the first bona fide medical group stepping forward, the American 286 00:15:04,170 --> 00:15:07,210 S1: Association of Plastic Surgeons, that go, ah, no, bad idea. 287 00:15:07,530 --> 00:15:09,770 S1: And so he's moving in the opposite direction of what 288 00:15:09,770 --> 00:15:12,650 S1: the public's want, what the science tells us, and even 289 00:15:12,650 --> 00:15:14,810 S1: where the medical community is starting to move on this. 290 00:15:14,810 --> 00:15:17,490 S1: So it becomes just what it's been from the get go. 291 00:15:17,530 --> 00:15:22,850 S1: A political ideology, transgenderism is a political ideology. It is 292 00:15:22,850 --> 00:15:26,050 S1: not a diagnosis. And so when you see the governor 293 00:15:26,050 --> 00:15:29,290 S1: making that statement, it the problem is that I think 294 00:15:29,290 --> 00:15:32,930 S1: we become Jell-O when people use language, if we're not 295 00:15:32,930 --> 00:15:37,490 S1: discerning thinkers, language can lead you astray. I love my neighbor. Well, 296 00:15:37,490 --> 00:15:39,410 S1: if your neighbor was going to cut off his hand 297 00:15:39,410 --> 00:15:41,750 S1: because he felt that he was a one armed man. 298 00:15:41,990 --> 00:15:43,750 S1: Would you sit there and say, let me sharpen the 299 00:15:43,750 --> 00:15:45,430 S1: blade for you? Or would you say, no, no, no, no, 300 00:15:45,470 --> 00:15:47,390 S1: don't do that. You're going to harm yourself. You're going 301 00:15:47,430 --> 00:15:49,630 S1: to hurt yourself. Or if your neighbor said, and these 302 00:15:49,630 --> 00:15:51,390 S1: are bona fide cases, by the way, I'm not making 303 00:15:51,390 --> 00:15:53,590 S1: this up. I felt I should have been born blind. 304 00:15:53,590 --> 00:15:55,590 S1: And they start to try to gouge their eyes out. 305 00:15:55,590 --> 00:15:57,310 S1: Which one woman did, by the way, and went on 306 00:15:57,310 --> 00:16:00,150 S1: national TV and said, I always felt I should be blind. 307 00:16:00,390 --> 00:16:04,390 S1: If you found an ophthalmologist who participated in taking her 308 00:16:04,390 --> 00:16:07,270 S1: eyes out, that person would be sued six ways to Sunday. 309 00:16:07,550 --> 00:16:11,310 S1: So I don't think there's anything loving about facilitating damage 310 00:16:11,310 --> 00:16:12,630 S1: that one can do to themselves. 311 00:16:12,670 --> 00:16:16,310 S11: Yeah, well, it begins with some fundamental questions that apparently 312 00:16:16,310 --> 00:16:21,670 S11: aren't being raised in society writ large. Um, and that is, uh, 313 00:16:21,670 --> 00:16:25,070 S11: who are we as a race, as a human race, 314 00:16:25,070 --> 00:16:30,030 S11: as a people, as humans who what, what who are we? 315 00:16:30,190 --> 00:16:32,790 S11: And were we created and how were we created? And 316 00:16:32,790 --> 00:16:35,950 S11: what does that mean? Well, if you're a believer in Christ, 317 00:16:35,950 --> 00:16:37,950 S11: if you believe what the Word of God says in 318 00:16:37,950 --> 00:16:42,520 S11: the Bible, um, God created us so we have the 319 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:47,000 S11: image of God in us, but we are all also, 320 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,360 S11: according to the Scripture, the same scripture that declares that 321 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,760 S11: we are also a fallen race. That is to say, 322 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,600 S11: we're prone to selfishness and fear. Paul, in the first 323 00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,520 S11: chapter of Philippians says to the church, look, you know, 324 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:05,040 S11: be active and bold in proclaiming the gospel and applying 325 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,760 S11: it to your world. But and don't be intimidated. The 326 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,320 S11: word there is frightened. But I think the current interpretation 327 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,760 S11: would be don't be intimidated by your opponents. Now that's 328 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:21,200 S11: that's where we have to be, uh, vigilant as truth tellers. 329 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,399 S11: And sometimes it takes courage because we have a culture 330 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,520 S11: that's trying to intimidate us into another view. 331 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,320 S1: We've got more on this topic, and we'll continue right 332 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,560 S1: after this. This is in the market with Janet Parshall. 333 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:53,290 S1: That's Craig Parshall back after this. You know, other than 334 00:17:53,290 --> 00:17:56,609 S1: viewing this as a spiritual warfare issue, I don't understand 335 00:17:56,609 --> 00:17:59,570 S1: why there's such a full court press to try to 336 00:17:59,570 --> 00:18:03,250 S1: propagandize kids in this particular area. Remember, this transgenderism is 337 00:18:03,250 --> 00:18:07,010 S1: an ideology. So if you're K-3, your child is in 338 00:18:07,010 --> 00:18:09,250 S1: those grades. I mean, they don't wake up thinking about 339 00:18:09,250 --> 00:18:11,570 S1: their sexuality. We couldn't get our kids to brush their 340 00:18:11,570 --> 00:18:13,650 S1: teeth on a regular basis in that age bracket, let 341 00:18:13,650 --> 00:18:16,210 S1: alone to figure out who they were sexually. In fact, 342 00:18:16,210 --> 00:18:19,210 S1: they probably weren't even thinking about sex at that time. Sorry, Freud. 343 00:18:19,490 --> 00:18:21,929 S1: So I want you to hear this is what's happening 344 00:18:21,970 --> 00:18:24,410 S1: to our babies. This is why Mom and Dad, you 345 00:18:24,410 --> 00:18:26,290 S1: have to be on the wall fighting for your children. 346 00:18:26,290 --> 00:18:29,250 S1: Like exactly what Nehemiah said. When you hear the sound 347 00:18:29,250 --> 00:18:31,650 S1: of the trumpet, fight for your families. Here's the sound 348 00:18:31,650 --> 00:18:36,490 S1: of the trumpet. This is a teaching preschoolers, preschoolers, babies 349 00:18:36,650 --> 00:18:40,350 S1: about gender ideology. This is an early childhood educator who 350 00:18:40,350 --> 00:18:44,629 S1: created a program for and I'm quoting young queer children 351 00:18:44,630 --> 00:18:48,550 S1: like they once were. Oh major supposition. So in other words, 352 00:18:48,550 --> 00:18:51,030 S1: all of our children are born queer, apparently. So I 353 00:18:51,030 --> 00:18:52,670 S1: want you to listen to this, and we'll talk about 354 00:18:52,670 --> 00:18:54,030 S1: what she says after this. 355 00:18:54,510 --> 00:18:59,310 S13: This huckleberries is my friend Nash. It's our first day 356 00:18:59,310 --> 00:19:03,430 S13: in our class. They're just looking around at all of you, 357 00:19:03,670 --> 00:19:06,270 S13: and they're so curious to know who you all are. 358 00:19:06,630 --> 00:19:09,150 S13: And the friend likes to ask the question, are you 359 00:19:09,150 --> 00:19:14,910 S13: a boy or a girl? And Nash answers, I'm just 360 00:19:14,910 --> 00:19:15,629 S13: a kid. 361 00:19:16,430 --> 00:19:19,869 S14: What a kid. But kids can be. Boys work. 362 00:19:19,910 --> 00:19:23,270 S13: They can be boys or girls. Yeah. 363 00:19:23,390 --> 00:19:24,830 S14: Maybe non-binary. 364 00:19:24,869 --> 00:19:29,350 S13: Yeah, yeah, just like me. So Nash, just like me, 365 00:19:29,869 --> 00:19:36,040 S13: is non-binary. So they aren't sure if they're a boy 366 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,400 S13: or a girl. So when people ask them, are you 367 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,720 S13: a boy or a girl right now, they just feel 368 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,840 S13: like saying, I'm a kid. They're figuring it out. 369 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,120 S14: Why does he like, does he like stars? 370 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,000 S13: They like stars. 371 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:54,560 S14: Like stars. 372 00:19:54,600 --> 00:20:00,600 S13: Yeah. And they are really. They wore their star shirt 373 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,000 S13: because it's their favorite shirt. And because they were nervous today, 374 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,719 S13: they thought they would wear something that makes them feel special. 375 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,720 S1: Okay, if you're confused, it's a doll. The doll is 376 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,639 S1: African American. It is dressed like a boy and she's 377 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,960 S1: calling the doll. They, these poor little children are sitting 378 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,720 S1: cross-legged on the floor, their jaws dropped, and you understand 379 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,400 S1: that she's trying to correct, because one child looks at 380 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,439 S1: the doll, clearly a male, and goes, he. And then 381 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,359 S1: she comes back. They like stars. You have to start 382 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,139 S1: propagandizing early if you expect a child to get the 383 00:20:36,140 --> 00:20:40,820 S1: social contagion of transgenderism. And so the idea here is 384 00:20:40,820 --> 00:20:44,340 S1: to really show you how much this has infiltrated our schools. 385 00:20:44,340 --> 00:20:46,540 S1: So Craig and I shared with you last week, for example, 386 00:20:46,540 --> 00:20:49,699 S1: when Loudoun County decided to have their training session against 387 00:20:49,700 --> 00:20:53,260 S1: parents at school board meetings because they were terrorists. Well, 388 00:20:53,260 --> 00:20:55,100 S1: you can bet that I guess if you're not going 389 00:20:55,140 --> 00:20:58,859 S1: to march in lockstep with the indoctrination that's taking place, 390 00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:01,660 S1: if you're not going with the program, then you must 391 00:21:01,660 --> 00:21:05,900 S1: obviously be a problem, a terrorist. You must be wrong. 392 00:21:06,020 --> 00:21:10,900 S1: And they are non-binary, says this early childhood director, that 393 00:21:10,900 --> 00:21:13,139 S1: we're going to start training the kids early. Craig, I 394 00:21:13,180 --> 00:21:15,899 S1: have to tell you, first of all, um, the only 395 00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:18,540 S1: advantage to getting crow's feet and little gray hair at 396 00:21:18,540 --> 00:21:20,620 S1: your temples is going, thank goodness my babies are not 397 00:21:20,619 --> 00:21:23,619 S1: in preschool anymore, because I would not be quiet about 398 00:21:23,619 --> 00:21:26,460 S1: this if I had found that this lesson had been introduced. 399 00:21:26,460 --> 00:21:28,380 S1: These are kids who don't know their colors. They don't 400 00:21:28,380 --> 00:21:30,860 S1: know their numbers, and you're talking to them about they 401 00:21:31,020 --> 00:21:33,350 S1: when you have a boy doll on your lap trying 402 00:21:33,350 --> 00:21:35,429 S1: to say he's just trying to figure it out. And 403 00:21:35,430 --> 00:21:38,270 S1: you know what's most insidious about that statement? And so 404 00:21:38,270 --> 00:21:40,430 S1: are you, boys and girls. You don't know who you 405 00:21:40,430 --> 00:21:43,510 S1: are yet, huh? Maybe you're trapped in the wrong body. 406 00:21:43,510 --> 00:21:47,510 S1: So this drip, drip, drip of this ideological acid begins 407 00:21:47,510 --> 00:21:48,910 S1: to rot their hearts and minds. 408 00:21:48,950 --> 00:21:51,070 S11: Yeah. What was really troubling is hearing one of those 409 00:21:51,070 --> 00:21:56,270 S11: little children, um, come out with the phrase non binary, right? 410 00:21:56,750 --> 00:21:57,710 S11: And I thought, well. 411 00:21:57,830 --> 00:21:59,470 S1: Their mom or dad speaking to them. 412 00:21:59,470 --> 00:22:04,070 S11: Here we are. It's a perfect example of, uh, public 413 00:22:04,070 --> 00:22:08,310 S11: education in this particular instance, not all public education, but 414 00:22:08,310 --> 00:22:12,590 S11: unfortunately too much. And in this instance, uh, becoming social 415 00:22:12,590 --> 00:22:18,950 S11: engineering and social propaganda rather than impartation of knowledge or 416 00:22:19,109 --> 00:22:24,110 S11: teaching children how to learn, educating to learn for a 417 00:22:24,109 --> 00:22:29,190 S11: lifelong form of education. Uh, when children grow up, they 418 00:22:29,190 --> 00:22:31,630 S11: become adults. And when you're adults, you should be able 419 00:22:31,630 --> 00:22:34,960 S11: to educate yourself on the important issues that you need 420 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:39,160 S11: in your family, your community, and as part of a nation. Um, 421 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,000 S11: and unfortunately, too much time is being spent on this. 422 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,800 S11: And this is highly dangerous because the hubris is astounding. 423 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:55,920 S11: The hubris, uh, the the presumption that, uh, a public school, uh, 424 00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:00,359 S11: person has the power and the authority to be able 425 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,680 S11: to say, I'm going to shape and mold and adjust 426 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,680 S11: the values and morals and worldview of your child because 427 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,800 S11: the child belongs to us. No, the child belongs to 428 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,560 S11: the parent. That's the way it happens biologically. That's the 429 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:20,040 S11: way it happens in terms of real life family structure. Um, 430 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,879 S11: and I happen to be one of those that doesn't 431 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,200 S11: believe that children belong to a village. I believe they 432 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,360 S11: belong to parents. And what we need to do is 433 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,580 S11: empower parents to be the best parents they possibly can be. 434 00:23:32,020 --> 00:23:34,780 S11: And once you do that, the families will then be 435 00:23:34,780 --> 00:23:39,900 S11: the structure that communities and our nation need. But it's 436 00:23:39,900 --> 00:23:44,940 S11: not the the field apparently is now occupied by those 437 00:23:44,940 --> 00:23:50,980 S11: that would want to social engineer ideas and beliefs about, um, 438 00:23:51,380 --> 00:23:56,420 S11: children not knowing what their gender is and discovering it. 439 00:23:56,660 --> 00:23:59,580 S11: Sort of like discovering your talents or discovering what you're 440 00:23:59,580 --> 00:24:03,940 S11: good at in terms of sports or or academics. Um, 441 00:24:04,220 --> 00:24:07,020 S11: so this is a contagion, and I think it needs 442 00:24:07,020 --> 00:24:13,540 S11: to be debated aggressively in public venues about what the task, 443 00:24:13,740 --> 00:24:18,380 S11: the first priority and first principles of education need to be, 444 00:24:18,420 --> 00:24:22,060 S11: particularly as we look at the declining, uh, state of 445 00:24:22,060 --> 00:24:26,260 S11: public education in America compared to other nations around the world. Mm. 446 00:24:26,940 --> 00:24:28,940 S1: This is in the market with Janet partial. Don't forget, 447 00:24:28,940 --> 00:24:31,510 S1: we're listener supported radio. Our truth tool this month is 448 00:24:31,510 --> 00:24:35,550 S1: called secure. It helps you understand the unconditional love that 449 00:24:35,550 --> 00:24:38,550 S1: God has for you. It's yours. For a gift of 450 00:24:38,550 --> 00:24:42,350 S1: any amount. Just call 877 Janet 58. Give a gift 451 00:24:42,350 --> 00:24:43,870 S1: of any amount and I'll send you a copy of 452 00:24:43,869 --> 00:24:46,790 S1: secure by saying thank you for supporting the program back 453 00:24:46,790 --> 00:25:08,310 S1: after this. Are you the sort of person who likes 454 00:25:08,310 --> 00:25:11,149 S1: to have the inside scoop? Who wants to be informed? 455 00:25:11,150 --> 00:25:13,310 S1: When you become a partial partner, you're not only keeping 456 00:25:13,310 --> 00:25:15,990 S1: this program on the air every weekday, you'll also receive 457 00:25:15,990 --> 00:25:19,229 S1: exclusive benefits like personal emails from me. I'll help you 458 00:25:19,230 --> 00:25:21,990 S1: learn how to look at the headlines with a biblical perspective. 459 00:25:22,190 --> 00:25:26,510 S1: Become a partial partner today by calling 877 Janet 58 460 00:25:26,550 --> 00:25:30,050 S1: or go online to in the market with Janet Parshall. 461 00:25:33,490 --> 00:25:36,690 S1: So we're sort of connecting the dots here. We talked 462 00:25:36,690 --> 00:25:40,169 S1: about the European Union voting on a resolution. It's non-binding, 463 00:25:40,170 --> 00:25:42,250 S1: but it gives you a sense of what their worldview 464 00:25:42,250 --> 00:25:47,850 S1: is overwhelmingly said that a trans woman is a woman. Here, 465 00:25:47,850 --> 00:25:49,970 S1: let me translate for you in English, a man is 466 00:25:49,970 --> 00:25:53,810 S1: a woman. And this is a big governing body, and 467 00:25:53,810 --> 00:25:55,489 S1: it's going to have influence. And they're going to meet 468 00:25:55,490 --> 00:25:57,250 S1: at the UN, and they're going to probably push this 469 00:25:57,250 --> 00:25:59,449 S1: idea there as well, when they have the UN Commission 470 00:25:59,450 --> 00:26:02,290 S1: on the Status of Women. And we're beginning to see 471 00:26:02,290 --> 00:26:04,770 S1: that this is a global movement. We're beginning to see 472 00:26:04,770 --> 00:26:06,970 S1: it show up in our classrooms. So it's not just 473 00:26:06,970 --> 00:26:09,050 S1: an over there, it's right here in our backyard. And 474 00:26:09,050 --> 00:26:12,369 S1: I just played audio for preschool kids where they're starting 475 00:26:12,369 --> 00:26:16,450 S1: to indoctrinate and recruit into this ungodly worldview. Help us 476 00:26:16,450 --> 00:26:18,530 S1: on the way. I give you the state of Ohio. 477 00:26:18,810 --> 00:26:22,650 S1: Ohio could soon protect parents who don't affirm their transgender 478 00:26:22,650 --> 00:26:26,290 S1: identifying child, which would be a major victory for parents rights, 479 00:26:26,290 --> 00:26:30,700 S1: and it could reverberate across the nation. In states like Ohio, 480 00:26:30,740 --> 00:26:35,300 S1: where lawmakers have embraced, um, gender ideology in the past, 481 00:26:35,300 --> 00:26:38,540 S1: parents who insist on their children's biological sex and given 482 00:26:38,540 --> 00:26:41,900 S1: name risk losing custody of their kids to the state. 483 00:26:41,940 --> 00:26:44,220 S1: We've seen this. We've talked about this over and over again. 484 00:26:44,500 --> 00:26:47,500 S1: How absolutely horrific. You won't bend your knee to Caesar. 485 00:26:47,500 --> 00:26:50,180 S1: You won't acquiesce to a lie. You won't tell your 486 00:26:50,180 --> 00:26:54,540 S1: child a lie. Oh, I'm sorry, Tommy, I always thought, Tommy. Uh, 487 00:26:54,540 --> 00:26:56,780 S1: but I guess you're now Susie. Okay, so I got 488 00:26:56,780 --> 00:26:58,699 S1: to call you Susie going forward, and all your pronouns 489 00:26:58,700 --> 00:27:01,700 S1: are going to match that, right? Well, the legislation in 490 00:27:01,700 --> 00:27:06,020 S1: Ohio is called the Affirming Families First Act, and it 491 00:27:06,020 --> 00:27:08,980 S1: would ensure that parents could not be accused of abuse. 492 00:27:08,980 --> 00:27:11,460 S1: This is what they were trying in California, or acting 493 00:27:11,740 --> 00:27:14,419 S1: contrary to the best interests of the child. Ta da! 494 00:27:14,700 --> 00:27:16,300 S1: That's a standard that's been in the law for a 495 00:27:16,340 --> 00:27:19,379 S1: long period of time. We've trampled that underfoot. We haven't 496 00:27:19,380 --> 00:27:21,580 S1: cared any bit at all about the best interests of 497 00:27:21,580 --> 00:27:23,380 S1: the child, because the best interests of the child is 498 00:27:23,380 --> 00:27:26,639 S1: not lying to a child and telling them, speaking into 499 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,760 S1: a delusion that they're trapped in the wrong body. Well, 500 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,639 S1: if this passes, you can't be accused of abuse by 501 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,440 S1: any agency in the state. And so the representative who 502 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,000 S1: was a co-sponsor, a fellow by the name of Josh Williams, 503 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,280 S1: said no parent should lose custody, faced state intervention, or 504 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,879 S1: be deemed unfit simply by affirming a child's sex. The 505 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,000 S1: affirming family's first act restores common sense to our child 506 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,240 S1: welfare and family law system by making clear that affirming 507 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,879 S1: biological sex is not abuse, neglect, or contrary to the 508 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,960 S1: child's best interests. It is a protected parental right. Craig. 509 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:01,640 S1: Your thoughts? 510 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,320 S11: Uh, for hundreds and hundreds of years, going all the 511 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,600 S11: way back to the English common law before the United 512 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:13,280 S11: States became a United States rather than a collection of colonies, uh, 513 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:18,000 S11: Western civilization had had created a framework that made sense 514 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,080 S11: in terms of the rights of parents. And that is, um, 515 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,369 S11: parents had the right to raise and nurture their children 516 00:28:25,369 --> 00:28:27,929 S11: in the values that they were to uphold, the religious 517 00:28:27,930 --> 00:28:31,369 S11: views that they were to adopt, and, uh, the way 518 00:28:31,369 --> 00:28:36,409 S11: in which they were to conduct themselves. With two exceptions. 519 00:28:36,609 --> 00:28:40,210 S11: And that is if there's abuse or there's neglect, both 520 00:28:40,210 --> 00:28:43,010 S11: of which had to be proven objectively in terms of 521 00:28:43,010 --> 00:28:46,930 S11: harm to the child. The state could step in the state. 522 00:28:46,930 --> 00:28:51,650 S11: I mean, the government, um, and the colonies adopted that, uh, idea. 523 00:28:51,650 --> 00:28:54,330 S11: And it was there at the founding of our nation. 524 00:28:54,330 --> 00:28:57,690 S11: And for the first hundred years or so, it continued 525 00:28:57,690 --> 00:29:01,050 S11: to be the law in the United States. And then sometime, uh, 526 00:29:01,290 --> 00:29:06,610 S11: in the early 20th century, a couple of, uh, educational 527 00:29:06,610 --> 00:29:12,970 S11: philosophers and, uh, the burgeoning, uh, theories of the new 528 00:29:12,970 --> 00:29:17,250 S11: psychology said, let's approach this from a best interest standpoint 529 00:29:17,250 --> 00:29:21,370 S11: rather than a harm, uh, or abuse or neglect standpoint. 530 00:29:21,370 --> 00:29:23,700 S11: In other words, some of us know better than the 531 00:29:23,700 --> 00:29:27,060 S11: parents what's really better for them. And unfortunately, and I've 532 00:29:27,420 --> 00:29:30,380 S11: in my legal career, I had a number of cases 533 00:29:30,620 --> 00:29:33,979 S11: where we had to educate a court that the best 534 00:29:33,980 --> 00:29:36,980 S11: interest standard still has to be guided by this idea 535 00:29:36,980 --> 00:29:39,260 S11: that the parents really are the ones who are in 536 00:29:39,260 --> 00:29:42,580 S11: the best position to judge what is the best interest 537 00:29:42,580 --> 00:29:47,180 S11: of the child, unless there's their conclusions would cause abuse 538 00:29:47,180 --> 00:29:51,260 S11: or neglect. Uh, but this has continued to shift to 539 00:29:51,300 --> 00:29:56,300 S11: the point now where, um, public officials, uh, Department of 540 00:29:56,300 --> 00:29:59,780 S11: Social Services and so forth, uh, have decided that they 541 00:29:59,780 --> 00:30:02,940 S11: are in a better position to determine that and then 542 00:30:02,940 --> 00:30:07,700 S11: enter gender ideology and the the arguments that, well, would 543 00:30:07,700 --> 00:30:10,540 S11: you rather have a dead child or a live, uh, 544 00:30:10,580 --> 00:30:14,220 S11: transition child to a new gender? And that argument has 545 00:30:14,220 --> 00:30:18,260 S11: really been challenged successfully by the statistics and by the 546 00:30:18,300 --> 00:30:22,520 S11: scientific facts and sociological facts. But facts don't always win 547 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:28,680 S11: the case. This has become a political and sociological cudgel 548 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,720 S11: against parents. And as you indicated, in fact, we've talked 549 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,520 S11: about this show. Some parents have had to fight in 550 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:38,160 S11: court to keep custody of their children when they say, no, no, 551 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,080 S11: I'm not going to allow my child to be transitioned 552 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,720 S11: against my better judgment and against the values that we 553 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,760 S11: believe are in the best interests of this child. Now, 554 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:51,760 S11: the Supreme Court has weighed in on this, and they've said, look, these, uh, 555 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:57,200 S11: transition procedures that doctors engage in for a child's gender 556 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,920 S11: so-called transition when they're children are highly controversial. And it's 557 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:07,960 S11: it's extremely experimental. Uh, the medical and the science is 558 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,920 S11: not established to show that this is not without danger. 559 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,600 S11: In fact, sometimes great danger. And so, as a result, 560 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,760 S11: at least a couple states now, because of the decisions 561 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:23,050 S11: the US Supreme Court, There are restrictions on not allowing 562 00:31:23,050 --> 00:31:26,690 S11: this to happen for children until they turn into adulthood 563 00:31:26,970 --> 00:31:31,730 S11: have been upheld by our highest court. Now, finally, after that, um, 564 00:31:31,770 --> 00:31:35,370 S11: the medical societies are starting to come around and say, 565 00:31:35,650 --> 00:31:38,410 S11: you know what? Yeah, I guess that's probably a pretty 566 00:31:38,410 --> 00:31:41,730 S11: good rule of thumb. Uh, let's not buy into this 567 00:31:41,730 --> 00:31:45,330 S11: gender ideology, particularly when it can harm physically harm the 568 00:31:45,330 --> 00:31:47,930 S11: child when they go through these procedures, at least until 569 00:31:47,930 --> 00:31:52,570 S11: they turn into adults. So the the transition, this, this, uh, 570 00:31:52,610 --> 00:31:55,010 S11: there's a tipping point, I think, in the other direction. 571 00:31:55,010 --> 00:31:59,370 S11: But still the gender ideology philosophy is embedded in a 572 00:31:59,370 --> 00:32:02,410 S11: lot of these social service organizations and a lot of 573 00:32:02,410 --> 00:32:07,050 S11: advocacy organizations that will come in to public schools or 574 00:32:07,250 --> 00:32:11,890 S11: come into social service, um, institutions and do the educating 575 00:32:11,930 --> 00:32:15,210 S11: to them about what they need to do. So it's 576 00:32:15,250 --> 00:32:18,690 S11: a it's a parents rights struggle right now. Uh, what 577 00:32:18,690 --> 00:32:22,750 S11: had been presumed to be a fundamental right of parents. Uh, 578 00:32:23,470 --> 00:32:25,950 S11: the founding of this nation into the 20th century is 579 00:32:25,950 --> 00:32:30,790 S11: now being challenged because those who have a political or 580 00:32:30,790 --> 00:32:35,430 S11: sociological agenda think they know better for your child than 581 00:32:35,430 --> 00:32:36,310 S11: you do as a parent. 582 00:32:36,350 --> 00:32:40,790 S1: Hmm. So let's broaden this. A $2 million jury verdict 583 00:32:40,790 --> 00:32:46,110 S1: was handed to a woman who she feels was forced 584 00:32:46,110 --> 00:32:50,190 S1: into this kind of surgery, $2 million. Her psychologists get sued, 585 00:32:50,190 --> 00:32:53,150 S1: her doctor gets sued. She was 16 when the doctors 586 00:32:53,150 --> 00:32:56,870 S1: performed a double mastectomy. Uh, she argued that she was 587 00:32:56,870 --> 00:32:59,350 S1: not mentally well or mature enough to make the life 588 00:32:59,350 --> 00:33:03,030 S1: altering medical decision as a minor. And the jury found 589 00:33:03,030 --> 00:33:07,070 S1: both of the medical professionals liable for malpractice, saying that 590 00:33:07,070 --> 00:33:10,870 S1: they skipped key steps when determining whether irreversible surgery was 591 00:33:10,870 --> 00:33:13,710 S1: the best course of action. Chloe Cole, who's been very 592 00:33:13,710 --> 00:33:17,750 S1: open about she, is now a detransitioners. She also has 593 00:33:17,750 --> 00:33:20,840 S1: a pending lawsuit because she was being pushed in this 594 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,440 S1: area when she was 12 years of age. Why is 595 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,760 S1: this important? Because now you have precedent, and I hope 596 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,000 S1: this creates a chilling factor for these doctors who are 597 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,880 S1: too quick to take out the night or write a 598 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,960 S1: script for some, uh, you know, hormones to begin to transition. 599 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,360 S1: Because the problem is, we are not dealing with the 600 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,360 S1: real problem. And let me point out what exactly what 601 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,120 S1: I'm talking about. It was a huge story this week, 602 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,280 S1: and I watched the press fall all over itself because 603 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,560 S1: they couldn't find the right pronouns to talk about this. 604 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,160 S1: Nine people killed in connection to a mass shooting in 605 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:53,240 S1: a school in British Columbia. The suspect was an 18 606 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,360 S1: year old boy who identified as a girl. He ends 607 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,080 S1: up in this slaughter, killing two of his own family 608 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,160 S1: members before he takes his own life, but he slaughters 609 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,560 S1: a lot of people in between, and the the press 610 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,560 S1: called him a. I heard one of the Royal Canadian 611 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,080 S1: Mounted Police saying, we're out of respect. Respect? He just 612 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,959 S1: took how many lives? 11 people lose their life. And 613 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,890 S1: we're talking about respecting the person's pronoun. Not to foul. 614 00:34:17,930 --> 00:34:20,330 S1: Person can't even hear the pronoun you're using. He's dead. 615 00:34:20,690 --> 00:34:25,570 S1: Number two, you're blinded by the issue. Well, since his death. 616 00:34:25,570 --> 00:34:27,930 S1: And my heart grieves for this family. So he kills 617 00:34:27,930 --> 00:34:31,650 S1: his mother. Um, he's killed a sibling, and then he 618 00:34:31,650 --> 00:34:33,530 S1: kills himself, and he kills a whole bunch of people 619 00:34:33,530 --> 00:34:35,529 S1: in between there. Some kids right now that are on 620 00:34:35,530 --> 00:34:38,210 S1: life support, still fighting for their life. So the fallout 621 00:34:38,250 --> 00:34:42,450 S1: of this is, uh, far from over. This poor person, 622 00:34:42,570 --> 00:34:45,729 S1: as is now the case, if we would stop politicizing this, 623 00:34:45,730 --> 00:34:49,569 S1: this poor person had a history of mental health related problems. 624 00:34:49,570 --> 00:34:53,010 S1: The police knew that. They knew they were concerned because 625 00:34:53,010 --> 00:34:56,410 S1: he might have access to weapons that were stored at home. Uh, 626 00:34:56,450 --> 00:34:59,489 S1: the police had visited his house multiple times over the 627 00:34:59,489 --> 00:35:02,890 S1: last years for mental health calls. I saw some unsettling 628 00:35:02,890 --> 00:35:06,210 S1: video of him rocking back and forth with this sort 629 00:35:06,210 --> 00:35:09,850 S1: of cackle. This, um. Well, to make it as a 630 00:35:09,850 --> 00:35:12,569 S1: common reference, like the Joker would be laughing in a 631 00:35:12,570 --> 00:35:14,730 S1: Batman movie. I mean, he was that kind of. He 632 00:35:14,730 --> 00:35:17,430 S1: was almost disassociative in the moment. He looked like he 633 00:35:17,430 --> 00:35:19,430 S1: was in the middle of some kind of a psychotic break. 634 00:35:19,590 --> 00:35:21,669 S1: And I thought, if you've already got mental health issues, 635 00:35:21,670 --> 00:35:24,150 S1: and then you pack this poor body full of steroids 636 00:35:24,350 --> 00:35:27,469 S1: and hormones, what do you think is going to happen? 637 00:35:27,550 --> 00:35:30,629 S1: How many more times does this have to happen? We're 638 00:35:30,630 --> 00:35:33,910 S1: not helping the people in crisis. We're advancing a political agenda. 639 00:35:33,910 --> 00:35:36,589 S1: To what end? I don't know, but Lord, give us 640 00:35:36,590 --> 00:35:39,790 S1: common sense and wisdom to rescue people who are hurting 641 00:35:39,790 --> 00:35:42,030 S1: in this situation. We'll take a break and come right back. 642 00:36:01,110 --> 00:36:04,310 S1: So I reported to you that Chloe Cole, a detransitioners 643 00:36:04,310 --> 00:36:06,390 S1: been very vocal about this, by the way, showed up 644 00:36:06,390 --> 00:36:08,950 S1: at an HHS hearing as well, said that this is 645 00:36:08,950 --> 00:36:12,470 S1: going to create a massive precedent now, and I hope 646 00:36:12,630 --> 00:36:14,400 S1: this is me talking. I hope it ends in a 647 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,840 S1: chilling effect, with doctors who are too quick to run 648 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,319 S1: and start mutilating bodies. So just today, the New York 649 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,080 S1: Post reported a 23 year old Texas woman claims that 650 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:27,680 S1: gender affirming doctors, quote, gaslit her into transitioning to male 651 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,960 S1: as a teenager and even coached her on how to 652 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,759 S1: scam insurers so that she could get top surgery to 653 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,239 S1: remove her breasts. There's gold in them there hills, by 654 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,800 S1: the way. So this detransitioners currently embroiled in a legal 655 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,360 S1: fight against the medical practitioners involved in her transition. She's 656 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,759 S1: alleged that various doctors and counselors recklessly pressured her to 657 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,919 S1: start taking testosterone and estrogen when she was 17. She 658 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,560 S1: has an op ed that just showed up in the 659 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,959 S1: Wall Street Journal, and in this op ed, she says 660 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,520 S1: that she was given the meds after a 30 minute 661 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,799 S1: conversation with a nurse practitioner. She'll have problems the rest 662 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,839 S1: of her life. 30 minutes and she started down that 663 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,320 S1: terrible road two years. Two years later, when she was 19, 664 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,640 S1: she underwent a double mastectomy. Uh, she says that the 665 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,460 S1: surgery was botched. She started identifying as a trans when 666 00:37:15,460 --> 00:37:20,180 S1: she was 11. Really? Onset mental health. Mental health issues here. 667 00:37:20,380 --> 00:37:24,260 S1: Countless medical interventions claim that gender affirming surgeons pushed her 668 00:37:24,260 --> 00:37:27,779 S1: to have the the elective double mastectomy. She said my 669 00:37:27,780 --> 00:37:31,020 S1: surgeon made sure to facilitate my physical transition as much 670 00:37:31,020 --> 00:37:34,580 S1: as possible, spoon feeding me talking points for insurance coverage. 671 00:37:34,580 --> 00:37:37,820 S1: After this surgery, I suffered major complications. I had severe 672 00:37:37,820 --> 00:37:40,779 S1: bruising all down my ribcage, along my sides, on my chest. 673 00:37:40,780 --> 00:37:43,859 S1: My surgeons repeatedly dismiss me when I came to them 674 00:37:43,860 --> 00:37:47,660 S1: with these problems. Uh. So her case went before the 675 00:37:47,660 --> 00:37:52,220 S1: Texas Supreme Court just this week. Uh, and eventually this 676 00:37:52,219 --> 00:37:55,740 S1: poor woman ended up taking herself to the emergency room with, quote, 677 00:37:55,780 --> 00:37:59,460 S1: kind in quotation marks, doctors who were, quote, used to 678 00:37:59,500 --> 00:38:02,500 S1: working with vulnerable women. And that's when she realized that 679 00:38:02,500 --> 00:38:05,540 S1: she had been manipulated. The realization, she said, that I 680 00:38:05,540 --> 00:38:08,660 S1: had been gaslit, sunk in as I watched them look 681 00:38:08,700 --> 00:38:12,029 S1: at my scars and my and my scars as they 682 00:38:12,070 --> 00:38:15,590 S1: were open again, empty out nearly three cups of blood, 683 00:38:15,710 --> 00:38:18,830 S1: and so sewed in some drains. I made the decision 684 00:38:18,830 --> 00:38:21,390 S1: to face who I really was without the medicine, without 685 00:38:21,390 --> 00:38:24,750 S1: the hormones or additional surgery. Six months after this experience. 686 00:38:24,750 --> 00:38:27,310 S1: So thanks be to God. Now she's starting to come around, 687 00:38:27,310 --> 00:38:29,150 S1: but she's still dealing with some of the effects of 688 00:38:29,150 --> 00:38:33,230 S1: this kind of surgery. Absolutely ridiculous. So we're missing the 689 00:38:33,230 --> 00:38:37,029 S1: mental health issues in children, but apparently they want to 690 00:38:37,030 --> 00:38:39,870 S1: make sure that you get the mental health issues of 691 00:38:39,870 --> 00:38:43,950 S1: Disney characters in Illinois. A 10th grade health class at 692 00:38:43,989 --> 00:38:47,390 S1: Hampshire High School located in Hampshire, Illinois, kids were asked 693 00:38:47,390 --> 00:38:51,350 S1: to diagnose Disney characters. This is not made up with 694 00:38:51,350 --> 00:38:56,589 S1: mental disorders including ADHD, schizophrenia, OCD, bipolar, hoarding, depression, and 695 00:38:56,590 --> 00:38:59,950 S1: more with characters such as Winnie the Pooh, Elsa from frozen, 696 00:38:59,950 --> 00:39:05,070 S1: Princess Jasmine, and more. Directions read, quote. Diagnose the various 697 00:39:05,070 --> 00:39:12,490 S1: mental disorders identified in cartoon characters directions. Diagnose the various problems. Each. 698 00:39:12,770 --> 00:39:15,970 S1: Each choice is used in one line. Complete both parts. 699 00:39:15,969 --> 00:39:20,089 S1: I'm looking at the form. Part one word choices. Anxiety. Schizophrenia, 700 00:39:20,130 --> 00:39:24,490 S1: binge eating, depression, dyslexia, ADHD, OCD. And then you're supposed 701 00:39:24,489 --> 00:39:27,650 S1: to look at Winnie the Pooh, who apparently has a 702 00:39:27,650 --> 00:39:31,210 S1: binge eating disorder because he likes honey. Then you're looking 703 00:39:31,210 --> 00:39:34,570 S1: at Piglet. Oh, he's loaded with anxiety, and then you're 704 00:39:34,570 --> 00:39:37,810 S1: looking at the tiger who's ADHD from The Jungle Book, 705 00:39:37,850 --> 00:39:42,690 S1: and then you're looking at, uh, Eeyore. He's suffering from depression, 706 00:39:42,850 --> 00:39:47,049 S1: and then you've got other characters. You've got, um, the boy. 707 00:39:47,050 --> 00:39:48,850 S1: I forget his name. What's the boy's name in Winnie 708 00:39:48,850 --> 00:39:51,690 S1: the Pooh? Christopher. Robin. Christopher. Thank you very much. Apparently, 709 00:39:51,690 --> 00:39:54,890 S1: he suffers from schizophrenia. Craig, this is absolutely ludicrous. First 710 00:39:54,890 --> 00:39:57,529 S1: of all, do these 10th grade kids know the DSM 711 00:39:57,570 --> 00:40:00,930 S1: on these mental illnesses? Do they know exactly the width 712 00:40:00,930 --> 00:40:03,530 S1: and breadth and depth of why they're categorized in the DSM? 713 00:40:03,530 --> 00:40:05,770 S1: And why in the world are you asking them to 714 00:40:05,810 --> 00:40:08,930 S1: identify in cartoon characters where the creators were not thinking 715 00:40:09,020 --> 00:40:11,299 S1: mental health issues when they wrote them in the first place, 716 00:40:11,300 --> 00:40:14,940 S1: particularly when they're extrapolated from good literature like A.A. Milne. 717 00:40:15,060 --> 00:40:15,980 S1: So your thoughts. 718 00:40:16,380 --> 00:40:21,020 S11: Are why aren't they taking the time and energy and money, 719 00:40:21,700 --> 00:40:25,580 S11: rather than those foolish attempts to educate kids who are 720 00:40:25,580 --> 00:40:30,420 S11: in middle school about mental health issues? Partner with parents 721 00:40:30,420 --> 00:40:36,500 S11: to educate parents on mental health issues. Uh, giving parents resources, um, 722 00:40:36,980 --> 00:40:41,700 S11: and having a partnership with the family unit, that's the 723 00:40:41,700 --> 00:40:46,500 S11: most important one in terms of, uh, health, emotional, spiritual, 724 00:40:46,580 --> 00:40:50,739 S11: physical for the children. Unfortunately, the, uh, the tendency in 725 00:40:50,739 --> 00:40:52,460 S11: you and I have seen this over the last couple 726 00:40:52,500 --> 00:40:57,739 S11: of decades is just the opposite. Public school officials taking 727 00:40:57,739 --> 00:41:00,460 S11: the position that we're the experts. You're just the parents. 728 00:41:00,700 --> 00:41:04,100 S11: We know what's best. We really ought to shape their values, 729 00:41:04,140 --> 00:41:08,549 S11: their opinions. Correct bad thinking that they may be getting 730 00:41:08,550 --> 00:41:11,470 S11: from their family units in terms of religious beliefs, if 731 00:41:11,710 --> 00:41:15,950 S11: they run counter to, you know, the cultural narrative out there. Um, 732 00:41:16,870 --> 00:41:22,190 S11: so the partnership with parents really ought to be demanded 733 00:41:22,190 --> 00:41:25,910 S11: and required. And it starts at the level, unfortunately, of 734 00:41:25,910 --> 00:41:29,710 S11: parents who are very, very busy with jobs and supporting 735 00:41:29,710 --> 00:41:34,230 S11: their family and raising their children to get involved. Um, 736 00:41:34,830 --> 00:41:37,390 S11: which means run for school board, which means find out 737 00:41:37,390 --> 00:41:41,350 S11: what kind of curriculum your children are being taught, and 738 00:41:41,350 --> 00:41:45,549 S11: also suggesting let's have a partnership between parents and school 739 00:41:45,710 --> 00:41:51,270 S11: rather than, uh, a a attitude of servitude toward the 740 00:41:51,270 --> 00:41:55,870 S11: public education institutions. Um, so that reversal is needed. It's 741 00:41:55,870 --> 00:41:59,110 S11: going to be very hard to do, because this idea 742 00:41:59,110 --> 00:42:04,110 S11: of the educational elites really being the ones to raise 743 00:42:04,110 --> 00:42:07,930 S11: your child in the classroom, uh, has been around for 744 00:42:07,930 --> 00:42:10,049 S11: a lot of years, and it's going to be a 745 00:42:10,050 --> 00:42:14,130 S11: difficult job to turn it around, but not impossible. And 746 00:42:14,489 --> 00:42:18,170 S11: I think it's also a charge, Janet, to remind parents 747 00:42:18,170 --> 00:42:20,930 S11: that it is the most important job you can have. 748 00:42:21,410 --> 00:42:24,049 S11: And if you have children, those children have been given 749 00:42:24,050 --> 00:42:27,770 S11: to you by God. Uh, and you need to. And 750 00:42:27,770 --> 00:42:33,570 S11: the Supreme Court has, in fact, recently to our, uh, really, uh, 751 00:42:34,570 --> 00:42:37,730 S11: our excitement that they finally came back to this issue 752 00:42:37,730 --> 00:42:40,970 S11: of parental rights, to say that parents are the number 753 00:42:40,969 --> 00:42:44,250 S11: one Department of Health, education and welfare for the child. 754 00:42:44,969 --> 00:42:48,490 S11: So that's been affirmed constitutionally. But in a practical sense, 755 00:42:48,489 --> 00:42:52,210 S11: it has to be now ingrained in the philosophy of 756 00:42:52,210 --> 00:42:56,250 S11: public school, uh, school boards and those that run public 757 00:42:56,250 --> 00:43:00,290 S11: education institutions. Um, and I think we need to be 758 00:43:00,290 --> 00:43:03,529 S11: advocates for our children and advocates for that idea of 759 00:43:03,530 --> 00:43:08,500 S11: family first and family as an important addition to public education, 760 00:43:08,500 --> 00:43:13,219 S11: rather than something that's going to create an obstacle to 761 00:43:13,260 --> 00:43:18,380 S11: what the social indoctrination beliefs are of the educational institutions. 762 00:43:18,380 --> 00:43:20,740 S1: I think where the tragedy is here is that you've 763 00:43:20,739 --> 00:43:25,380 S1: got a school district who's asking students to identify mental 764 00:43:25,380 --> 00:43:30,700 S1: health issues in cartoon characters, and yet public education writ 765 00:43:30,700 --> 00:43:35,540 S1: large is ignoring the the mental health issues in the living, breathing, 766 00:43:35,540 --> 00:43:39,140 S1: real students that are sitting in their classrooms. It is 767 00:43:39,140 --> 00:43:43,460 S1: the upside down world. So again, you're pushing the ideology. 768 00:43:43,460 --> 00:43:45,819 S1: And again, I'm glad that I read that story from 769 00:43:45,820 --> 00:43:49,779 S1: the New York Post because this Detransitioners, who now is 770 00:43:49,780 --> 00:43:53,340 S1: suing um, has said how much she was being pursued 771 00:43:53,380 --> 00:43:56,540 S1: to scam the insurance people because maybe this goes to 772 00:43:56,580 --> 00:43:59,220 S1: my question that I'm trying to answer, which is, why 773 00:43:59,260 --> 00:44:01,500 S1: are you so like a dog and a bone deadlocked 774 00:44:01,500 --> 00:44:05,160 S1: and advancing this ideology? What's in it for you? Well, duh. 775 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,400 S1: First thing that comes to mind is the practitioners are 776 00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,640 S1: raking in the money. If you're teaching somebody how to 777 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:11,839 S1: scam an insurance company because there's all kinds of money 778 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,560 S1: to be made there, I guess that's one. Number two, 779 00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,560 S1: I guess it's because you if you're not getting out 780 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,880 S1: enough abortions at your clinic, you start handing out steroids because, hey, 781 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:22,880 S1: you can get them after a 30 minute conversation with 782 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:26,279 S1: the nurse practitioner. This supplements your income that you're not 783 00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:30,000 S1: getting with the abortions. But above all else, this is 784 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,400 S1: a war for the heart and mind and soul of 785 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,480 S1: your child. So, Mom and Dad, why do we have 786 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,520 S1: these conversations? Because it's a reminder that we need to 787 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:41,480 S1: look well to the ways of our household. Is it 788 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,040 S1: going to be easy? Absolutely not. Just when you're tucking 789 00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,080 S1: your babies in, even if they're 17 and they don't 790 00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:47,400 S1: want you to come near them with a hug or 791 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,879 S1: a kiss, I get it. You can intercede for them 792 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,399 S1: before the throne of Grace on a regular basis, and 793 00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,839 S1: you stand before King, humbled by the fact that you 794 00:44:55,880 --> 00:45:00,080 S1: weren't elected. You were appointed to the position to be 795 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,040 S1: their parent. God bless you. Have a great weekend.
