So to 19 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: get right into what's going on in the day, let's 20 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: play this first clip and we'll well up with tears 21 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: together and react. 22 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 3: And splashdown Crew nine back on Earth. Awesome splash down 23 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 3: good main release copy splash down. 24 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 4: We see main shoots cut Nick Alex Butch Sonny On 25 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,559 Speaker 4: behalf of SpaceX welcome home. 26 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: Oh it just makes me feel so good, Chris, I'll 27 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: tell you this. I'm so excited that Hitler was able 28 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: to save those astronauts that have been stuck in space 29 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: for the last several months, Which is what the headlines 30 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: would say if you were reading one of the lib 31 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: articles Elon Musk's SpaceX finally rescued those astronauts after being 32 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: told they couldn't during the past administration. Finally President Trump 33 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: gave him the Okay, you know, despite the political divide, 34 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: don't you think that this is something that we can 35 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: all get together on and be like this, this is cool, 36 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: this is objectively cool. 37 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, we should be able to come together and think 38 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 2: this is cool. Could you imagine if during the original 39 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 2: moon landing, half of the country said, well, it wasn't 40 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 2: my party, so I don't really like what you're doing. No, 41 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 2: that would never happen. And with Joe Biden, he had 42 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 2: the opportunity. He wanted to be the unity president. He 43 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 2: said that on numerous occasions before calling us trash into plorables. 44 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 2: But he had the opportunity to enlist Elon Musk and 45 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 2: do just this, save these astronauts. He chose not to. 46 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 2: Donald Trump gets the win. Half the country is mad, 47 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 2: But this is an American moment. We should be able 48 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 2: to come together and celebrate this. And how cool was 49 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 2: it seeing those dolphins circling that castle when they landed 50 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: in the ocean. 51 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was awesome. I remember the first time Elon 52 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: sent to astronauts up into space watching that, and at 53 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: the time he was a Lib, I think, and I 54 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 1: was still excited about it. Is an American doing cool 55 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: American things, and you know, despite the political divide, I 56 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: was excited for it. So hopefully the libs can come 57 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: around and just recognize it. Hey, this is just objectively cool, 58 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: no matter who you are speaking of somebody who is 59 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: not cool with something. I want to get your thoughts 60 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: on this. We all saw the JFK files being released. 61 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: President Trump finally released them. The media had a field 62 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: day with it. If you want some in depth deep 63 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: dive analysis, go watch Charlie Kirks Show or Steve Mannon 64 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: or somebody else on the RAV network. They're probably diving 65 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: in much more deeply than we're about to hear. The 66 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: funniest thing though, of all of that, that I think 67 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: I saw was this TMZ headline that said JFK's grandson 68 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: slams the Trump administration for not giving the family advanced 69 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: warning about the files release, to which I had to say, 70 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: what kind of a rock do you have to be 71 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: living under to not know that President Trump was going 72 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: to release the JFK files. We have been asking for 73 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: these for decades. How are you upset about this? 74 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 3: Yeah? 75 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 2: And I would say, hey, pal, go talk to your uncle, 76 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 2: because when Trump signed the executive order, he handed the 77 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 2: pen and said this is for RFKA. It was a 78 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 2: campaign promise, like the entire campaign. I mean, I think 79 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 2: it was a campaign promise in sixteen and fifteen. Yeah, 80 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 2: you shouldn't have known that this was coming. And I 81 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 2: just want to salute our weaponized autists out there going 82 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 2: through these eighty thousand documents. I myself have four kids, 83 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 2: two dogs, and a wife, and I don't have the 84 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 2: time to do it, but I just want to shout 85 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 2: out to the guys. That are the big things that 86 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 2: I've learned from the documents so far? Is Oswald acted alone? 87 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,239 Speaker 2: Andy acting with the KGB, Andy acting with Cuba, Andy 88 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 2: possibly acted with Israel and the CIA, and it may 89 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,919 Speaker 2: have not happened at all, you know. 90 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing here that we can learn 91 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 1: is that maybe it's Libs don't like campaign promises being 92 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: fulfilled because this has been a campaign promise for a 93 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: long time, and maybe that's his real thing. Hold on, 94 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: how dare the president of the United States actually fulfill 95 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: a campaign promise? We don't do that on the Democrats side, 96 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: so you shouldn't be able to do it too here. 97 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: Maybe that's why he's upset. Speaking of some people who 98 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: are upset, I want to play this Tim Walls clip 99 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: in the limited time we've got watch this, and this 100 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: is Tim Walls saying he gets excited. He's happy that 101 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: Tesla stock is tanking. 102 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 5: Watched this saying on my phone, I don't some of 103 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 5: you know this on the iPhone. They've got that little 104 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 5: stock aapp. I added Tesla Tude to give me a 105 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 5: little boost during the. 106 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 6: Day two twenty five and dropping. 107 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 7: So and. 108 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 5: If you own one, if you own one, we're not 109 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 5: blaming you. You can you can take dental floss and 110 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 5: pull the Tesla thing off. You know and take out 111 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 5: of just telling. 112 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:39,119 Speaker 1: You, you know, regardless of your political ideology or political leanings, 113 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: you should never root for the downside of American individuals 114 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: as a whole. Like, if there's a Democrat president, I 115 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: don't like what he's doing, but I also don't root 116 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 1: for the economy to tank. Tim Walls also forgot that 117 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: apparently what most Americans probably who have four to one case, 118 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: probably have Tesla stock, so that's hurting them. Chris, your 119 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: thoughts on rooting for the downfall of an American company 120 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: For some reason. 121 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 2: My initial reaction is, weren't you just saying that federal 122 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 2: workers shouldn't be fired last week? When an accountant at 123 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,239 Speaker 2: the State Department gets let. 124 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 3: Go, that's a tragedy. 125 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 2: But when a company has over one hundred thousand employees 126 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 2: and they're making products here in America, you're rooting for 127 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 2: that to fail. It doesn't make any sense. Yet, nothing 128 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 2: this man does makes much sense at all, And he's 129 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 2: just kind of illustrating the reason why the majority of 130 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 2: America didn't vote for you and didn't vote for Kamala. 131 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 2: Because we're America first, you're America last. It is exemplified 132 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 2: time after time after time, we dodged so many bullets. 133 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 2: Tim Wats is one of those. 134 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 3: Yeah. 135 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: I again like I don't root for the American people 136 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,679 Speaker 1: to fail in any capacity, regardless who is in office. 137 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: Obviously we can criticize what's going on in the policies, 138 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: but rooting against the American people, that's just stupid. Chris 139 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: hann thanks so much for running through those heads lines 140 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: with us today. Really appreciate you coming on anytime. 141 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 2: Man, love the show. 142 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: Let's bring in our White House correspondent Monica Page Live 143 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: from the White House, Maicah. Yesterday there were some protests outside, 144 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: which you sent along some footage which will show the 145 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: viewers as you're talking about it. But explain to us 146 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: what's going on. What were the protests saying, what are 147 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: they trying to get across? How angry were they on 148 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: a scale of how angry the Libs are generally speaking? 149 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: What was going on last night? 150 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 7: I said, the Libs are generally maybe around it's solid 151 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 7: six to eight on an easy day, but last night 152 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 7: I think it was a little bit more escalated. I 153 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 7: mean they were loud last night. They had a giant 154 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 7: protest outside the White House last night. From about it 155 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 7: really started ramping up around seven pm Eastern time, and 156 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 7: it went on well into around ten pm Eastern time 157 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 7: as well. But there were a few stragglers in the 158 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 7: afternoon as well, and we did hear a couple of 159 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 7: protesters just this afternoon while the briefing was happening. I 160 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 7: could kind of hear them through the walls this afternoon. 161 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 7: Not many, but they're loud, they have their megaphones. So 162 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 7: what they really wanted was they wanted the United States 163 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 7: to stop sending money to Israel and basically blame me 164 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 7: the United States, for the fact that Israel is defending itself. 165 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 7: I mean, we have seen Gaza and Hamas really not 166 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 7: adhere to the ceasefire rules. They haven't been releasing the 167 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 7: hostages as they promised that they would. So Israel is 168 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 7: defending itself. It's doing what it said it will, weaving 169 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 7: out any sort of roots of terrorism. And these groups 170 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 7: that we've seen last night and honestly throughout the entire 171 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 7: Biden administration as well since October seventh, were outside the 172 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 7: White House last night. I did see Hamas flags, which 173 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 7: was very startling. I saw terrorists kind of garb and 174 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 7: headbands and Hamas flags. Yeah, It was very startling. So 175 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 7: these people, are they really about peace? They are chanting 176 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 7: death to America. Free Mahmood Khalil, that activist that they 177 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 7: want that the administration wants to deport for being so 178 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 7: anti America. So very interesting scenes last night. They'll probably 179 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 7: continue this afternoon. Definitely stay tuned. But yeah, I mean, 180 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 7: that's the mood on the ground as of recent So. 181 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: It sounds like what you're saying is we should probably 182 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: send that video clip over to Tom Homan and make 183 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: sure everyone's immigration status is well. They're here, they're citizens 184 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: of the United States and not on some dumb student 185 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: visa or illegally entered the country. Also, I think President 186 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: Trump talked to Zelensky on the phone today regarding the 187 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: Russia agreement conversation. What's going on in Russia Ukraine war? 188 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: Tell us about that, yep. 189 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 7: So as we know, President Trump spoke to Russian President 190 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 7: Putin yesterday on the phone, a very positive conversation. They 191 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 7: both agreed that Putin and Russia will stop attacking Ukrainian infrastructure, 192 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 7: energy infrastructure sites in the region, and they both agreed 193 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 7: that this war should have never happened, and that they 194 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 7: both have a common end that peace needs to be 195 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 7: established in this region. So just this afternoon, President Trump 196 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 7: following up with Zelenski saying, hey, you know, I just 197 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 7: had this conversation with Putin. Where do you stand on 198 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 7: all these kinds of things that we spoke about? And 199 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 7: it seemed to have gone very well. Mean, both sides 200 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 7: seem to be very happy with the agreement that Russia 201 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 7: was going to stop attacking these specific sits in Ukraine. 202 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 7: They both want peace. This moved in a pretty positive direction. 203 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 7: I mean, it wasn't like one step forward two steps 204 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 7: back from my understanding, but it definitely seems that there 205 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 7: could be peace in the near future based on these 206 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 7: conversations with both leaders. 207 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, that'll be really interesting to see how that plays out. 208 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 1: Anything else going on with the White House that we 209 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 1: should be aware of, I know, it's kind of a busy, 210 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: frantic day. And then we got the readout from President Putin. 211 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: It kind of seems like everything's kind of smooth sailing, 212 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: or at least as smooth as it could be. Anything 213 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 1: that you're looking forward to later on this week. 214 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 7: Well, we'll definitely be keeping an eye on what the 215 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 7: schedule look like tomorrow. But we do know that later 216 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 7: this week, President Trump will be flying to I believe 217 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 7: it's Philadelphia, is going to the NCAA wrestling tournament, so 218 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 7: he'll be in attendance for that this weekend. But as 219 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 7: of right now, we do not know what the schedule 220 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 7: will be until maybe early tomorrow morning or late late tonight. 221 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 7: So it's always it's always a surprise here at the 222 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 7: White House, but we're happy to adjust where needed for sure. 223 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: Awesome, Monica Page Turning Points, White House Correspondent, Monica, thanks 224 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: so much for joining us. Awesome. Now, I know we 225 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: usually go into another panel segment and talk about the 226 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: news of the day, but we were gonna treat you 227 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: to something special. Last night. Charlie Kirk was in Atlanta 228 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: with Matt Walsh having a really interesting discussion that we 229 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: thought you all should hear. So that is coming up 230 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: right after this Don't Go Away Turning Points tonight. Will 231 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: be right back with Charlie Kirk and Matt Walsh see 232 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:44,239 Speaker 1: the other side. 233 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 6: Matt, Welcome to Gainesville, Georgia. 234 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 3: Great to be here. Thank you. I heard you when 235 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 3: I was backstage. 236 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 4: You called me disagreeable, and I just I just want 237 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 4: to say I disagree with that. 238 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 3: So that's my dad joke. To start. 239 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 6: I have to brag on Matt here, because Matt has 240 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 6: a great way about him and as he's incredibly stoic 241 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 6: in the face of the most insane left wing nonsense. 242 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 6: Matt Walsh has been one of the most, if not 243 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 6: the most important voices pushing back against trans ideology in 244 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 6: this country over the last five years. And that's important 245 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 6: for a couple of reasons. Obviously it's important morally, But 246 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 6: going back five or six years ago, everybody the trans topic, 247 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 6: we were in the ideological minority. There were not a 248 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 6: lot of people speaking out against it. There were not 249 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 6: a lot of people understanding really where this came from. 250 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 6: They were framing it as a new civil rights issue 251 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 6: of our time. And Matt Walsh not only spoke out 252 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 6: against it, but I think had one of the most 253 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 6: powerful films ever asking the question what is a woman? 254 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 6: And so, Matt, you deserve a lot of credit for this, 255 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 6: you really do. 256 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 4: I appreciate that, and I think that. I mean, look, 257 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,599 Speaker 4: it's I want to say, a lot of people have 258 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 4: been in the fight from the beginning. So it hasn't 259 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 4: been a lot, but there's certainly been a lot more 260 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 4: than just me. The one thing I will say, as 261 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 4: you said, we were in the ideological minority from the beginning. 262 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,839 Speaker 4: I think we were in the minority, but not actually 263 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 4: the ideological minority. Which is what made it so frustrating 264 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 4: early on, is that, you know, I can remember going 265 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 4: out there in like twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen and arguing 266 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 4: about this issue of transgenderism, and the kind of blank 267 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 4: stares you would get from people, even though I know 268 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 4: that most of them agree with me. You know, I'm 269 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 4: sitting here saying a woman is a female, a man 270 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 4: is a male. You can't cross between the two. Transgenderism 271 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 4: is not a real thing. It's a category error. It 272 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 4: doesn't exist. And there weren't a lot of people cheering 273 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 4: us on, even though I knew that most people. 274 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 3: Certainly agreed with that. 275 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 4: When we did our film What Was a Woman, and 276 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 4: we went out to the street and did our kind 277 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 4: of man on the street interviews, This is back in 278 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 4: twenty twenty one, that we would have been filming it 279 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 4: in twenty twenty two, and we would stop normal people 280 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 4: on the street just walking by and ask them these 281 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 4: basic questions about what is a woman? Should men be 282 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 4: allowed in the women's restroom. Is it do you think 283 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 4: it's okay to give kids the kinds of drugs that 284 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 4: we give to sex offenders to chemically castrate them? These 285 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 4: kinds of questions, and the vast majority of people didn't 286 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 4: want to answer, or they would answer in the affirmative 287 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 4: to allowing men in women's restrooms, even though I knew 288 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 4: I'm looking them in the eye. I know you don't 289 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 4: actually think that. There's no way you actually think that. 290 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 4: But people were afraid, and so I said all along, 291 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 4: our job was less convincing people. I don't think most 292 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 4: people need to be convinced that only women can have babies. 293 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 4: You know, that's the kind of thing that we all 294 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 4: understand as human beings. I think it's less convincing people 295 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 4: and more convincing, not convincing people of the fact of it, 296 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 4: convincing them that it's okay, to convicting people, thank you, 297 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 4: it's uh, and convincing them that it's okay to speak 298 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 4: up to it's okay, it's okay that you know this 299 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 4: basic truth and to speak it and to stand by it. Yeah, 300 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 4: And so just I don't want to get into some 301 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 4: of the real fundamental questions here around this, because every 302 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 4: pastor here is going to encounter this issue on a 303 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 4: micro and a macro level. 304 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 6: So every pastor here will encounter a parent that comes 305 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 6: with a trans kid, and how they deal with that, 306 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 6: I want to talk about that, and then the macro 307 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 6: how do they deal with it politically? But I hope 308 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 6: you guys understand that in a short period of time, 309 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 6: with just a little bit of pushback, what we have 310 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 6: been able to do to put the trans movement on 311 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 6: defense is profound. This is a multi billion dollar industry 312 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 6: that I believe is demonic at its core, that is 313 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 6: going after the children of this nation to chop off 314 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 6: their breasts, to surgically mutilate them, to against God's natural design, 315 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 6: treating it like a body problem when it is a 316 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 6: brain problem. And so let me ask a more fundamental question. 317 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 6: You get this question off in Matt, where did transgender 318 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 6: ideology originate? 319 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 4: Well, I mean it kind of depends on how far 320 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 4: back you want to trace them. You could trace it, yeah, right, 321 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 4: you could trace it all the way back to the 322 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 4: Garden of Eden, I suppose, if you wanted to the 323 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 4: fall of man. But it really what we consider you know, 324 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 4: the modern gender ideology, the modern transgenders and movement goes 325 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 4: back to the mid twentieth century to guys like John Money, 326 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 4: Alfred Kinsey. I mean really, John Money is kind of 327 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 4: the father of gender ideology, and he was one of 328 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 4: the first to get this idea that and to promote 329 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 4: this idea that there's a distinction between sex and gender, 330 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 4: and that was a really key move. Is to draw 331 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 4: this line of delineation between your sex, your what we 332 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 4: call your biological sex, of course is redundant. You don't 333 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 4: need to say that sex is biological and your which 334 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 4: is you know, the way he. 335 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 3: Looked at it, it's. 336 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 4: Just how you present yourself in the world, and there's 337 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 4: this distinction between the two, and that was it was 338 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 4: very key to draw this distinction. But then what you 339 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 4: notice as this as time goes on and this stuff 340 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,439 Speaker 4: becomes more mainstream, that this distinction between sex and gender 341 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 4: was then collapsed, and that happens somewhat recently. This is 342 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 4: something you started to notice around twenty thirteen fourteen fifteen. 343 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 4: They started to collapse this distinction where now the transactivists 344 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 4: were saying that well, actually, a quote unquote trans woman 345 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 4: is not just kind of performing femininity is not just 346 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 4: identifying as a woman but actually is a woman, so 347 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 4: that there's no actual distinction. The transactivists would say, between 348 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 4: a trans woman and a woman, they're one in the same. 349 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 4: So they and this is the kind of sleight of 350 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 4: hand trick that you find with leftists generally, but in 351 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 4: particular with transactivists. 352 00:17:58,359 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 3: Everything's a sleight of hand. 353 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 4: They make an argument and they'll they'll never follow it 354 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 4: to its logical conclusion because they can't because it's all 355 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 4: gibbration nonsense, and so everything they do they're just trying 356 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 4: to set the stage for the next thing. 357 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 6: And so it seems as if though that the trans 358 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 6: movement hit an acceleration point in the early twenty tens 359 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 6: twelve thirteen fourteen, with the proliferation of social media on 360 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 6: our kids' smartphones, but also where the medical industries seem 361 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 6: to realize that there were tens of millions, hundreds of millions, 362 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 6: billions of dollars to be made coupled with actual transgender 363 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 6: ideological zealots. Can you explain all these different buckets. There's 364 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,239 Speaker 6: the social media component, which is the social contagion. Then 365 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 6: there's the medical industry that sees these kids' annuities. But 366 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:02,360 Speaker 6: then there's also like firm religious believers in transgender ideology 367 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,959 Speaker 6: that think that you're it's almost a gnostic spirituality. Can 368 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 6: you speak to the gnostic spiritualities part of it? 369 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think. 370 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 4: And and those are your those are your zealous as 371 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 4: you say, Uh, I think that they're They're very much 372 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 4: in the minority. I think for most if we if 373 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 4: we ask ourselves why this idea gained the foothold in 374 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 4: our culture that it did. Uh, it was able to 375 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 4: do that through our institutions, through the institution of medicine, 376 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 4: through our school system, through uh, the the you know, 377 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 4: mental health so called mental health professionals, and most of them, 378 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 4: once again didn't really believe that any of this was 379 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 4: actually true. I mean, did they actually believe that a 380 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 4: biological male was in any sense really a woman. 381 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 7: No. 382 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 4: But for them, there was a lot of money in it, 383 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 4: a lot of money, and that's something that that came 384 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 4: on very quickly, and there was just this rush, this 385 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 4: millions and millions and millions of dollars all of a 386 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 4: sudden in this industry of confusing children and then taking 387 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 4: advantage of that confusion through through these drugs so I 388 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 4: don't think they actually believed it, but you did have 389 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 4: these the true believers, And for them now, they can't 390 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 4: talk about the issue coherently. They even they can't really explain, 391 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 4: as we know, they can't explain what a woman is 392 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 4: when they say a trans woman is a woman. If 393 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 4: you just ask them, well, what what do you mean 394 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,479 Speaker 4: by that? I find that to be a really powerful 395 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 4: question in general. It's like, well, what do you Okay, 396 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 4: that's your statement, that's what you're saying, that's your that's 397 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 4: your claim. 398 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 3: What do you mean? 399 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 4: Can you just talk about that for a little bit more? 400 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 4: Can you Can you give me a few sentences about that? 401 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 4: And they can't do it. And the reason they can't 402 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 4: do it is because it is purely a matter of faith. 403 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,360 Speaker 4: It's a it's a kind of and they don't want 404 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 4: to say this because they want to cloak it in science. 405 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,439 Speaker 4: But what they actually think is that it's spiritual. What 406 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 4: they what they actually believe, if they're willing to say it, 407 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 4: is that when they say that a trans woman is 408 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 4: a man who has the soul of a woman, that's 409 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 4: that's what they believe. 410 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 3: That's right. 411 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 4: But they but they won't say that because now they've 412 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 4: admitted that they're on religious grounds, and that's and that's 413 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 4: also an argument they don't want to have, because then 414 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 4: I could say, well, okay, let's let's talk about that. 415 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 3: Uh. 416 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 4: A trans woman is a man with the soul of 417 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 4: a woman. Where do he get the soul from? I mean, 418 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 4: where does he come from? Where's his soul from? 419 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 3: And the answer is. 420 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 4: Right now, Well, now we've introduced God into the equation. 421 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 4: And that's a big problem for the transactivist because then 422 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 4: then the question is, well, well, so. 423 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 3: So what happened? 424 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 4: Was there some sort of error on the celestial assembly 425 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 4: line where God accidentally put us the wrong soul into 426 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 4: this body? 427 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 3: Is does is God making mistakes? And uh? And and 428 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 3: of course that's not a claim they want to make either. 429 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 6: And so to go even further, I hope you guys 430 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 6: internalize what Matt just said. There's more profundity in that 431 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 6: couple of minut explanation almost anything you'll hear in American 432 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 6: seminaries when it comes to the transgender cult. What you 433 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 6: just heard and there's an old there's an old religious 434 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 6: belief of something called gnosticism is a heresy. Lucas talks 435 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 6: about it a lot, and essentially it's a belief. Gnosis, 436 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 6: by the way, is the Greek word for mind. It's 437 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 6: a belief that the mind and the body and the 438 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 6: soul are all kind of separate pieces. We as Christians 439 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 6: completely reject this. Through the record, we believe that the 440 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 6: body and the soul are actually really connected. 441 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 3: That's why in the. 442 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 6: Scriptures it says that our bodies will be resurrected again, 443 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 6: that our bodies actually have very physical meaning that it 444 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 6: says your body is the temple of the lords in 445 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 6: First Corinthians. That this Gnostic belief, though, is that beak 446 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 6: sense that you have a soul that is separate in 447 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 6: your body, then you can kind of be something that 448 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 6: you physically or even independent or objectively observe that you 449 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 6: are not. So you could even be an animal. And 450 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 6: you guys laugh. I'm going to tell you a real 451 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 6: example donners Grove South High School. I think I got 452 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 6: this correct. In the middle school, the junior high in 453 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 6: the bathroom, they have accommodations for kids to be able 454 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 6: to use like kitty litter, not because the girls are 455 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 6: identifying as cats. That is an old Gnostic belief, by 456 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 6: the way of people that would say that I'm just 457 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 6: a reincarnated animal. And yeah, it's a form of paganism, Hinduism. Again, 458 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,199 Speaker 6: this is nothing new. Again, you know what changed all this? 459 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 6: Christianity change all this. We're the first religion to come 460 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 6: through and say no, there's one God. It's Yahweh Jehovah. 461 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 6: This polytheism is a bunch of garbage. Right, So anyway, Matt, 462 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 6: can you can you risk? 463 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 3: Yeah? 464 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I just want to add to that because I 465 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 4: think that one of the problems, one of the ways 466 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 4: that this narcissism took hold is is that you had 467 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 4: a lot of Christians who don't understand their own faith 468 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 4: and and don't know how to talk about it. And 469 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 4: so so for example, you'll hear and this is a 470 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 4: this is a quote you'll see I've seen circulating on 471 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 4: social media for years and years, and I think that 472 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 4: it's often falsely attributed to C. S. 473 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 3: Lewis sometimes G. K. 474 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 4: Chesterd And and the quote is something like, I don't 475 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,919 Speaker 4: have a soul, I am a soul, I have a body. 476 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 4: That's that's the quote that you see sometimes. And this 477 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 4: is not something that that C. S Lewis would never 478 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 4: say something that stupid. Uh, because the the and and 479 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 4: this is you hear this from Christians sometimes, But no, 480 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 4: that's that's that's not correct. I it's not that you 481 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 4: are a soul and you have a body. You are 482 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 4: your body and your soul. There's a unity of the two. 483 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 4: You can't you can't separate the two. So we we 484 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 4: we to think of it like my body is a 485 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 4: some kind of receptacle or a vehicle. You know that 486 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 4: my soul is just kind of driving around and pulling 487 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 4: the levers inside my body. 488 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 3: That's not that's not it at all. 489 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,640 Speaker 4: What I am, what you see, my body is who 490 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 4: I am, and my soul is in a mysterious way, 491 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 4: inextricably linked with my bides. It's part of my it's 492 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 4: part of who I am. And this is one of 493 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 4: the reasons why when we go to the transactivists and 494 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 4: now they don't like to talk about souls, even though 495 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 4: that is what they believe. As we've covered what they 496 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,120 Speaker 4: will say though, and this is kind of their way 497 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 4: of saying soul. They'll say, well, you know, sometimes you 498 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 4: have a man that has a woman's brain, and they'll 499 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 4: start pointing to all these studies that allegedly show that 500 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 4: some men have the brains of women. And this is 501 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 4: why I'm you know, I don't really care about studies. 502 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 4: I'm not a big fan of studies most of the time. 503 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 4: I know, we want to sound like we're smart, and 504 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 4: so somebody brings up a study, we want to throw 505 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 4: another study back at them, and you get in. 506 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 3: Kind of a study food fight. Well, here's a study. 507 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 4: I think, in my opinion, ninety five percent of the 508 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 4: time when someone brings up a study, they said, well, 509 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 4: haven't you read this study? I say, no, I haven't 510 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 4: read it. I know based on what you just said 511 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 4: that it's totally bogus. I don't even need to read it. 512 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 4: I don't need to read it. Any study that claims 513 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,919 Speaker 4: to show that a man has a woman's brain is 514 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,959 Speaker 4: completely bogused. I don't care if this study was funded 515 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 4: with fifty million dollars, they took seventy years, they had 516 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 4: ten thousand people they were doesn't matter. Because what's the 517 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 4: definition of a man's brain. It is the brain that 518 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 4: is inside the head of a man. That is by definition, 519 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 4: a man's brain. 520 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 6: And so Matt to kind of further go into this though, 521 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 6: and ask a very obvious quest question. We are able 522 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 6: to isolate them now with humor and wit, and honestly, 523 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 6: I think good hearted ridicule because these kids that they 524 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 6: when they go after kids, they should be ridiculed. You 525 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 6: do not go after the children of a society without pushback. 526 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,360 Speaker 6: Christ said, it's better for them to have a millstone 527 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 6: hung around their neck and thrown into the thrown into 528 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 6: the lake, see, than to go after the least to 529 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 6: these and so they should be ridiculed. But Matt, I 530 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 6: want you to I want you to go deeper into 531 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 6: something that you said. How is it that this movement 532 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 6: that is so philosophically and spiritually dark, that is so 533 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 6: obviously easy to refute with a sentence like yours, that 534 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 6: one that the majority of the country is now moving against. 535 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,360 Speaker 6: How did they get so deep in our institutions? 536 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 3: Man? 537 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 6: How did they advance so far into into our territory? 538 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 6: Because now we have to go through what is going 539 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 6: to be everybody probably a ten to fifteen year project 540 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:04,360 Speaker 6: of an extra to kick these individuals from How did 541 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 6: this happen? 542 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 3: Matt? 543 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 6: Was is it as simple as what we were just 544 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 6: asleep at the wheel? Or is it something more than that? 545 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 4: I wish so that I could say we were asleep 546 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 4: at wheel, because if you fall asleep at the wheel, 547 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 4: it's it's not necessarily your fault. That's something that happens accidentally. 548 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 4: I think it's worse than that. I think it was 549 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 4: a deliberate choice, deliberate it was a surrender, It was 550 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 4: a deliberate it was a waving the white flag. And 551 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 4: So to answer your question and to bring it to 552 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 4: kind of the point of this great event that I think, 553 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 4: I mean, there are a lot of answers to the 554 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 4: question of how it got this deepen in institutions, But 555 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 4: to me, the number one answer is that there is 556 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 4: one institution that is supposed to be there as the 557 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 4: vanguard against this kind of evil, and that institution refused 558 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 4: to do its job, and that is the Church. Now 559 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 4: I can again think back to twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, 560 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 4: twenty twenty one, being out there kind of in the 561 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 4: field on this issue, fighting this issue out, whether it's 562 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 4: going to school board meetings or holding rallies or doing 563 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 4: anything for me, it's making a movie, just using whatever 564 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 4: resources are at were at my disposal to fight back. 565 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 4: And I would look to the left of me and 566 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 4: look to the right of me. And what I noticed 567 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 4: is that I noticed what was missing, which is that 568 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 4: there were not a lot of Christian leaders standing there 569 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,959 Speaker 4: beside me. I was more likely to look over to 570 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 4: my side and see a liberal feminist standing with me 571 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 4: on this issue than a Christian pastor. And not only that, 572 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,479 Speaker 4: but it was in fact worse that. Very often, if 573 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 4: a Christian pastor were to say anything to me or 574 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 4: about me in relation to this issue, it was to 575 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 4: condemn me for being too rude, for being too mean. 576 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 3: You know. 577 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 4: They didn't like the way that I approached it, and 578 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 4: my answer to them was always, Okay, you don't like 579 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 4: my approach, what's your alternative, because your approach is nothing. 580 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 4: Your approach is to say nothing at all. And I 581 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 4: agree with something you said Charlie earlier about you know, 582 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 4: we talked about the woke churches that have the rainbow 583 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 4: flags and everything outside, and that's a big problem. 584 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 3: That is an issue. 585 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 4: That's not the biggest problem. Like those churches, they're not churches. 586 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 4: They don't count. I don't even that's not real. You know, 587 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 4: if you if you have a rainbow in your church, 588 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 4: it better be a part of some arc display. 589 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 3: That references Noah's Ark. 590 00:30:54,960 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 4: Because the rainbow flag is anathema, it is heresy. And 591 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 4: any church that flies it is not a church. 592 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 3: It is you know, this is a it is it 593 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 3: is a or I. 594 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 4: Should say it's a church, but not for the Christian religion. 595 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 4: For the LGBT cult is what it is. So so 596 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 4: there's that, so like there's those kinds of churches and 597 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 4: they're not that's not real. Those are not real Christian churches. 598 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 4: The bigger problem has been for a long time the 599 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 4: kind of milk toast lukewarm. I don't really want to 600 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 4: get involved. And so you sit in these churches and 601 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 4: you're not gonna hear anything necessarily objectionable. You're not gonna 602 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 4: hear anything said that's wrong. Everything said is maybe true, 603 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 4: but it's what's not being said. And you know, to 604 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 4: reference something that C. S. Lewis actually talked about, I 605 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 4: think in in in screw Tape Letters. He talks about 606 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 4: it in multiple works of his how you know the 607 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 4: the we're on a spiritual battle ground. 608 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 3: We're on a spiritual battlefield. 609 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 4: And when you go to church, you've got your These 610 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 4: are your your soldiers, right are who are coming in 611 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 4: after being out of the battlefield for the last six days, 612 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 4: and they're bruised and they're broken and they're beaten, and 613 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 4: this is where they're supposed to hear their marching orders. 614 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 4: This is like, let's regroup, let's let's talk about our 615 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 4: battle plan. 616 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 3: Okay, that's what it should feel like when you're in church. 617 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 4: And so often, at least in my experience, and I've 618 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 4: been going to church for thirty eight years, so often 619 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 4: it doesn't feel like that. 620 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 3: It feels like. 621 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 4: Maybe a meeting with the HR representative at a Fortune 622 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 4: five hundred company, or like I'm in middle school talking 623 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 4: to my guidance counselor. Again, it doesn't feel like this 624 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 4: is someone on the pastor. And other are exceptions to this, 625 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 4: but so often it doesn't feel like the pastor is 626 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 4: even living in the same reality. 627 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 3: As the rest of us. 628 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 4: Right, And so to go back to the trans thing, 629 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 4: This was going on for years, and I would hear 630 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 4: I'm not a pastor, I'm not a church leader, but 631 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 4: I would hear from these parents whose kids are being 632 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 4: kidnapped by this ideology. As kids are being their minds 633 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 4: are being stolen by this. I've heard the most, and 634 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 4: I know you have two Charlie. I've heard the most 635 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 4: gut wrenching stories from parents who have lost their kids spiritually, mentally, 636 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 4: and sometimes physically. I mean, their kids fall victim to this, 637 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 4: and two or three years later, their kids are gone. 638 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 4: They're dead because this this this virus, this mental virus, 639 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 4: infected their minds and killed them. And you have these 640 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 4: parents that are struggling with this for years and years, 641 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 4: and so many of them are going to churches and 642 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 4: never once hearing it even referenced. 643 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 3: It's like it doesn't exist. 644 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 4: And so I'm sitting in these churches, I'm thinking, are 645 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 4: do you not realize what's going on out there? 646 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 3: Do you not? 647 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 4: Do you not understand what these people? What us, what 648 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 4: we're going through? 649 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 3: What? What? 650 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 4: What actually matters? I mean now I'm just ran thing. 651 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 4: I could continue, but it's great, keep going. I I 652 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 4: I'll just say one one thing. I so just in 653 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 4: one of the most offensive just in this in this vein. 654 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 3: Here one of them. And I've told this story before. 655 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 4: One of the most offensive, uh sermons I ever heard 656 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 4: was years ago from a pastors you know, probably a 657 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 4: decent guy, but the past the sermon was about toy story, 658 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 4: the movie Toy Story if you guys are familiar, and 659 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,399 Speaker 4: it was all about how And it was a long 660 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 4: sermon too, it was it was way too long. 661 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 3: And it went on and on and on about. 662 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 4: The movie Toy Story and all the lessons we can 663 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 4: learn from Toy Story, because you know, there are songs 664 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,080 Speaker 4: and Toy Story about how we should be friends, and 665 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 4: so this this was kind of a sermon about the 666 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 4: value of friendship and how buzz Lightyear and Woody, you know, 667 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 4: they didn't like each other at first, but then they 668 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,399 Speaker 4: learned how to be friends by the end of it. 669 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 3: And I'm sitting. 670 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 4: There and I was a young parent at the time, 671 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 4: you know, two or three kids, and thinking about all 672 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,720 Speaker 4: the things that I and I'm very familiar with Toy Story. 673 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 4: I like the movie actually, as far as kids movies go. 674 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 4: But of all the things that I am worried about, 675 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 4: you know, all the things that matter to me as 676 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:37,399 Speaker 4: a father, as a man, as an American, and you're 677 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 4: sitting there talking about Toy Story. 678 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 3: I mean, this is the kind. 679 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:47,840 Speaker 4: Of talk that I would expect a kindergarten teacher to 680 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 4: give to their class, their students when they're sitting on 681 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 4: an alphabet rug drinking apple juice, and it's that you know, 682 00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 4: and and that's one of the worst that I've heard, 683 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 4: So it's not often that bad. But it's not the wokeness. 684 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 4: It's that it's just that it's nothing. That's nothing. It's 685 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 4: the sin of omission. It is the sin of silence. 686 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 6: Is that when you are silent, you're actually saying everything. 687 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,400 Speaker 6: When you are silent, you are speaking to your congregation 688 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,359 Speaker 6: that what you are omitting doesn't matter. And that is 689 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 6: so many pastors, unfortunately, will escape by and be like, well, 690 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 6: I don't mention the controversial stuff tonight, so therefore I 691 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 6: stay away from it. That's exactly what is wrong is 692 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,839 Speaker 6: that you have to stand up and be counted. There 693 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 6: is no middle ground. It's either you're a yes or 694 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 6: you're a no on these very morally important issues. I 695 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 6: have two questions, and I want to go one at 696 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 6: a time. If a pastor in this audience privately, a 697 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 6: mom comes up to the pastor and says, Pastor, my 698 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,680 Speaker 6: thirteen year old is a girl who thinks she is 699 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 6: a boy, how should a pastor in this audience deal 700 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:10,319 Speaker 6: with that? 701 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 4: Well, I'll start by saying what even the left would say, 702 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 4: but they don't mean it, which is the way you 703 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 4: respond to that is by loving your daughter. You love her. 704 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 4: You never stop loving your child. But what that means 705 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:33,600 Speaker 4: is that you will never surrender her to this madness. 706 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 4: You will just never do it. 707 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 6: You. 708 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,279 Speaker 4: I've said before, and I've gotten in trouble with media 709 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 4: matters or whatever for saying it. 710 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:43,879 Speaker 3: I'll say it again. 711 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 4: I would rather die than have any of my children 712 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 4: be succumbed to the trans call. I would rather be 713 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 4: dead than that. I will do anything to stop that 714 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:00,160 Speaker 4: from happen. 715 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 3: I will. 716 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 4: And so that's what you do as a parent. You 717 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 4: never give into it. It doesn't they're gonna they're gonna 718 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 4: say they hate you, they're gonna scream at you, they're 719 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 4: gonna want to lock themselves in a room. That's all 720 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 4: part of the cult programming, and you got to go 721 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 4: through that. But you never give into it. You never 722 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 4: you never give into the lie that that the fact 723 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 4: that you've made your daughter and your child upset means 724 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 4: that you don't love them, or you're not loving them 725 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 4: the right way. No, in this case, the fact that 726 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,839 Speaker 4: they're upset means that you are loving them. It means 727 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 4: that this is exactly how you should be responding and 728 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:40,359 Speaker 4: on a more practical level. By the way, Uh, if 729 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 4: your child is actually struggling with this again and they're 730 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,759 Speaker 4: gonna hate you for this, and that's fine, but you 731 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,319 Speaker 4: gotta look at what their influences are. 732 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 3: And most likely, if you've got a thirteen. 733 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 4: Year old daughter or son who's experimenting now with this 734 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,440 Speaker 4: idea that he's trapped in the wrong body, almost certainly 735 00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,920 Speaker 4: he's got the smartphone and he's on social media. 736 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 3: Take the phone away. 737 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,919 Speaker 4: Okay, it's not just oh we're gonna we're gonna limit 738 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 4: the amount of time you spend on it. Take it away. 739 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,440 Speaker 4: I got six kids. None of my kids have this 740 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 4: technology we have. We have one My wife and I 741 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 4: have phones. We have one other screen in the house. 742 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:21,399 Speaker 4: It is our family TV. That's in a public area. 743 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:21,760 Speaker 3: In the house. 744 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 4: There's no doors. We don't have any screens for kids 745 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,759 Speaker 4: in a room where a door can be shut. We 746 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:34,480 Speaker 4: don't have that. So you can watch TV. We're gonna 747 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,360 Speaker 4: know exactly what you're watching, and it's gonna be in 748 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 4: a place where we can hear it anywhere in the 749 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 4: house where we go, So you can't even change the 750 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,320 Speaker 4: channel and try to sneak something past us. And certainly 751 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 4: we are not giving them unfettered access to the internet, 752 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,400 Speaker 4: and so take that away from your child, look at 753 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:50,759 Speaker 4: who their friend groups. 754 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,879 Speaker 3: Are, and hopefully that will be enough. 755 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,400 Speaker 4: And then you might have to resort to even extreme 756 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,640 Speaker 4: measures or measures that might seem extreme. If they're in 757 00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 4: public school, you might have to think about do we 758 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,880 Speaker 4: have to pull them out of school? We have to homeschool. 759 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,480 Speaker 4: It sounds crazy and unworkable. It's not I do it, 760 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 4: You can do it. You're just doing anything that is 761 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 4: necessary to protect them from this madness. 762 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,960 Speaker 6: And I'll add to that every pastor here, I encourage 763 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:20,319 Speaker 6: you to buy doctor Miriam Grossman's book Lost in TransNation. 764 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 6: She's an actual clinician. She's not just a theoretical thinker 765 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:29,359 Speaker 6: about this. She deals and treats kids with gender dysphoria. 766 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 3: Understand. 767 00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:33,120 Speaker 6: Up until recently, we had a whole treatment protocol for this, 768 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 6: which was very simple. It's called watchful waiting. We believe 769 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 6: that puberty was the solution, not the problem. And usually 770 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,879 Speaker 6: kids usually like ninety nine percent of the time, they 771 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 6: grow out of this thing and understand this. Here's some 772 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,240 Speaker 6: facts about transgender ideology. When it comes to young people, 773 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 6: seventy five percent are girls seventy five percent. Why does 774 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,520 Speaker 6: that matter? Well, girls are far more likely to get 775 00:40:56,560 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 6: involved in social contagions, whether it be cutting puss, whether 776 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 6: it be dressing, to be able to accommodate their peers 777 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,839 Speaker 6: social stigmas. They're far more likely to be pressured by 778 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,719 Speaker 6: clicks or social stigmas. Young ladies are in a very 779 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 6: difficult time of their life at twelve, thirteen, fourteen years old, 780 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,279 Speaker 6: and the trans ideology swoops into them. 781 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:18,319 Speaker 3: Fact number two. 782 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,800 Speaker 6: There's almost Matt would know this even better than I would. 783 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,280 Speaker 6: But according to doctor Mirin Grossman, she's almost never seen 784 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 6: a case of a kid that falls victim of transcender 785 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:33,640 Speaker 6: ideology that does not also have autism or other underlying 786 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:37,319 Speaker 6: neurodivergent type disorders. This is very important everybody. So if 787 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 6: you have a kid with autism, it's a higher likelihood 788 00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,560 Speaker 6: that they're going to be able to fall victim to 789 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,759 Speaker 6: the transgender social contagent. What are we getting at before 790 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,080 Speaker 6: I continue the next point? It shows that it's actually 791 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 6: not something within them. This is an ex externally received 792 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:56,600 Speaker 6: communicable mind virus that kids catch through a screen. They 793 00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,279 Speaker 6: catch through a teacher. It's not something in them they've 794 00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,279 Speaker 6: always had. It's something they get like COVID, but it's 795 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 6: far more dangerous and deadly than COVID. For our nation's 796 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:09,799 Speaker 6: youth number three, which is very important, which I can 797 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:11,799 Speaker 6: if you are a pastor, you need to get on 798 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,920 Speaker 6: your hands and knees and pull every possible thing to 799 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,240 Speaker 6: prevent a parent from sending that kid to a medical doctor. 800 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,839 Speaker 6: I don't care if it's been their pediatrician since they 801 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,239 Speaker 6: were six months old. I ninety nine percent of them 802 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:30,880 Speaker 6: are being trained in bad medieval witchery, witchcraft science that 803 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 6: says that they should go on hormone blockers. They could 804 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 6: be the best meaning kids possible. The guidelines of the 805 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 6: American Pediatric Association will will take your breath, am I 806 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,000 Speaker 6: Right on this, Matt, it will take your breath away 807 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 6: because the mom will say, oh, well, you know, my 808 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 6: daughter's thirteen, but we're gonna go see our pediatrician. She 809 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 6: has a whole plan. The goal will be hormone blockers 810 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:55,040 Speaker 6: and a psychiatrist, and a psychiatrist immediately say lupron intervention, surgery. 811 00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 6: Eventually no breast by the age of sixteen. Not an exaggeration. 812 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,880 Speaker 6: And that mediatrician is schooled to believe that it is 813 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,279 Speaker 6: a body disorder when it is a brain disorder. The 814 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 6: final point I'll make is this is that that first interaction. 815 00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,200 Speaker 6: Doctor mir Engrossman crushes it in her book. That first 816 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,960 Speaker 6: interaction means so much. You need to tell the parent this, 817 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 6: that you need to ask your daughter. It's most likely 818 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,359 Speaker 6: a daughter a ton of questions. Really, where'd you hear 819 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:23,720 Speaker 6: about this? When'd you start thinking that? Be infinitely curious 820 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,720 Speaker 6: about the condition. The more curious you are about the condition, 821 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,000 Speaker 6: all of a sudden, all the defenses start to go down. 822 00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,120 Speaker 6: It's very tempting to be hostile to a kid who 823 00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,279 Speaker 6: thinks they're trans, but curiosity, all of a sudden, it 824 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,839 Speaker 6: feels okay, you're loving them, you're learning. Oh, really, are 825 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,440 Speaker 6: any of your friends thinking that way? We have learned 826 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,400 Speaker 6: the same way that we have outbreaks of certain diseases. 827 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 6: We see clusters of transgenderism in the Pittsburgh Greater Area. 828 00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:51,800 Speaker 6: We saw it where like half of the girls and 829 00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,480 Speaker 6: when middle school all of a sudden became trans. And 830 00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 6: guess what, all the psychiatrists were affirming it because you 831 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,680 Speaker 6: can't challenge it, Matt, Yeah, and. 832 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,320 Speaker 4: The only and one thing, and doctor Mirion Grossman is 833 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,279 Speaker 4: absolutely fantastic and she's also in our film What Is 834 00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,960 Speaker 4: a Woman. The one thing I would add to that 835 00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:14,680 Speaker 4: is before you also have to think about before you 836 00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,759 Speaker 4: get to that point where your daughter comes to you 837 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,120 Speaker 4: at the age of thirteen and says, I think I'm 838 00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:18,479 Speaker 4: a boy. 839 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,040 Speaker 3: How do we avoid getting. 840 00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,040 Speaker 4: To that point, because there's the question of what do 841 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,920 Speaker 4: you do when that happens? And Mirin Grossman has a 842 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,600 Speaker 4: great lot of great advice on that. Do you how 843 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,640 Speaker 4: do we stop that from happening if we can, And 844 00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 4: we've already gone over some of it. Some of it 845 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:39,160 Speaker 4: is pretty simple, though difficult, taking away the phones, taking 846 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,000 Speaker 4: away these influences, but at kind of a deeper level, 847 00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,680 Speaker 4: and you won't be able to do this perfectly. But 848 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:51,840 Speaker 4: you want your children to stay attached to you. And 849 00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 4: I know we use that word attached and it sounds 850 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:55,800 Speaker 4: like I'm saying, oh, you want to be a helicopter parent. 851 00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,000 Speaker 4: You don't want your kids to be able to, you know, 852 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,279 Speaker 4: function in the world. That's not what I'm saying. They 853 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:03,960 Speaker 4: you want to keep that attachment, that bond with your 854 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:08,240 Speaker 4: child so that they're orienting themselves to the world based 855 00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:08,560 Speaker 4: on you. 856 00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,640 Speaker 3: So they're looking at you as the adult. 857 00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,200 Speaker 4: As the parent, to figure out how they're supposed to 858 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:15,480 Speaker 4: operate in the world. 859 00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,480 Speaker 3: And that used to be kind of a given. 860 00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,920 Speaker 4: I mean, for most of human history, children would orient 861 00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:25,719 Speaker 4: themselves to the world by looking at their parents and 862 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,600 Speaker 4: then also looking at their grandparents, looking at their elders, 863 00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:30,239 Speaker 4: and that's how they figure out how to just be 864 00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,400 Speaker 4: in the world, how to be a person, how to 865 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 4: be an adult, how to be a man or a woman. 866 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,920 Speaker 4: And what ends up happening in the era of public 867 00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 4: school and especially now with social media, is that this 868 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,560 Speaker 4: that bond is severed, and it's severed sometimes very very early, 869 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:49,080 Speaker 4: and the kids start orienting themselves to the world by 870 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:54,359 Speaker 4: looking at their peers. And when that happens now it's 871 00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,200 Speaker 4: like they don't care what the parent thinks anymore. 872 00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:57,160 Speaker 3: Now that it's. 873 00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,040 Speaker 4: They they don't want to hear from the parent. They 874 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,359 Speaker 4: hate their parents. And we take that for granted, we say, oh, 875 00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,879 Speaker 4: it's a teenage phase. They just they hate their pay. 876 00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,480 Speaker 4: Every teenager goes through this. No, it's it's a phase 877 00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,839 Speaker 4: now in modern society. It was not a phase back 878 00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,800 Speaker 4: in eighteen thirty two. It was not taken for granted 879 00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,279 Speaker 4: that your fourteen year old daughter would hate you and. 880 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:17,279 Speaker 3: Want nothing to do with you. 881 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,719 Speaker 4: It happens now because our kids are living in a 882 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:25,840 Speaker 4: culture that does everything it can to rip them away 883 00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,279 Speaker 4: from their parents and from the elders who love them 884 00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,640 Speaker 4: and know them and care for them, and to put 885 00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:36,360 Speaker 4: them into this confusing environment where they're they're learning about 886 00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,960 Speaker 4: the world by looking to each other, looking to other 887 00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 4: people who are also confused, and so then they're just 888 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:45,400 Speaker 4: going around in circles, following each other. And so to 889 00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:49,359 Speaker 4: whatever extent possible, you know, to keep that bond with 890 00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 4: your kid, to keep them orienting based you know, based 891 00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:54,759 Speaker 4: on you, I think is a is a big, a 892 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:55,480 Speaker 4: big way to do it. 893 00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:57,600 Speaker 6: So we're over time. I do want to get a 894 00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,279 Speaker 6: chance for one or two questions. I think we have 895 00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,200 Speaker 6: the ability to do that, and just so let's make 896 00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:03,800 Speaker 6: it good.
