Trump broke it up. But Michael, 103 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 9: there's one huge win that is only just now beginning 104 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 9: to start, and that is cleaning up the filth that 105 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 9: is Washington gross DC. Okay, Like for decades I see 106 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 9: has been a dumpster fire, murderers and robbers and pickpockets 107 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,839 Speaker 9: and like people playing that shell game where they just 108 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 9: rook people.

But anyhow, Big Balls he tried to 113 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 9: save the day because some woman had got carjacked by 114 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 9: like eight dudes, and then they beat the tar out 115 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 9: of Big Balls. And Michael, that was the straw that 116 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 9: broke the Campbell's toes because like ten minutes later, Donald J. 117 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 9: Trump federalized DC and now National Guard is basically wrecking 118 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 9: shop on thugs.

Now what's interesting 132 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:24,599 Speaker 1: about that? That is interesting in and of itself, the 133 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 1: world welcoming another life. But she did it at home, 134 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: in her bedroom, in her bed. They had a midwife. Now, 135 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 1: as I said, it's a sixth child she's given. 136 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 10: Birth to. 137 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: That sounds like a I didn't. It's a sixth child 138 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 1: she's given birth to the child is so it's the 139 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: fifth separate birthing incident for the child because numbers three 140 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: and four are twins. Now, there were some complications on three, 141 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: and four, So they broke down and went to a hospital. 142 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: But one, two, five, and now six all at home. 143 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: One of these, so midwife, I'll tell you about that 144 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: in a second went to the hospital, midwife, and now 145 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: midwife one of them. It's him and her at home. 146 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: Now that is old school right there. He was probably 147 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: watching TV. Honey, how long you think it's gonna be, 148 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: because I'm about to make myself a sandwich and some cheetos, 149 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 1: maybe some iced tea. This is the daughter that his 150 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: wife goes and cleans their house once a week. Remember 151 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: we were talking about Jesus washing the the disciples feet 152 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: and that the act of service is to reduce yourself, 153 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: not aggrandize yourself, and that Christ wanted to make that 154 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: statement by washing the filthy feet of his disciples because 155 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: in an era of sandals or bare feet, you can 156 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: imagine your feet are dirty either. And he knelt before 157 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: them and washed their feet. And I thought it was 158 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: the most awesome thing that my buddy, his wife goes 159 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: over very weak and cleans her adult daughter's home for her, 160 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: and because they can't afford a maid, so she becomes 161 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: the maid. And I think that that is a great 162 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: show of love. 163 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 2: That is. 164 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: An out an outpouring of love. To do such a 165 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: thing and things like that humble me because I think, 166 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: to my do one thing, to hire a maid and 167 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: go with that would also be nice. But to every 168 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: week get up yourself, uh and do that, I think 169 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: was a was a pretty awesome, pretty awesome statement. And 170 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: I'm imagining this baby, the one that was born at home, 171 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: would no midwife, know nothing. And I'm thinking now that 172 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: can you imagine at the end of all that, I mean, 173 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: what a sense of righteousness you have you have to 174 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: have when you know you and your wife y'all just 175 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: brought a baby into the world.

Do you know what a 179 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: doula is? She's involved in all you know. It's amazing. 180 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: The people I used to think were the most crazy, 181 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: I've come to find out are the best people in 182 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: our society. We need more people like that. What's there 183 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: white people reproducing? You just don't see that. 184 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 5: His David michael Berry, I've been fighting acquisitions after acquisition. 185 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: It's an overlying Friday, we go to Debbie let it down. 186 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: That was weird. Debbie, you're on the Michael Berry Show. 187 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: Go ahead, sweetheart. 188 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 10: Hey Michael, we've talked before on a Valentine's segment. But 189 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 10: I was made of honor in a wedding a few 190 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 10: weeks back, and the most impressive thing was in the 191 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 10: bride knew nothing about it. The groom had someone bring 192 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 10: out like a washtub of water with rags and he 193 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 10: literally knelt down and washed her feet because he promised her, 194 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 10: just like Christ did with the disciples, that as her husband, 195 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 10: he would always be there to serve her. I just 196 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 10: stood out balling. That was just the most touching thing. 197 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 10: And and he is. He is a great husband. Their 198 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 10: names are Terence and Elise, and I'm so proud to 199 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 10: know them. Yes, what an he's had to stand it. 200 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: But you know what is what an act? What a statement? 201 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: I like that a lot. 202 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 8: I Uh. 203 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 10: Well, he adores her. He adores her, and she's got 204 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 10: two kids and he's never been married before. He doesn't 205 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 10: have any kids, but he is stepping up to be 206 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 10: a good step dad. He's not going to replace their dad, 207 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 10: but he wants to be an example for them as well. 208 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: If more men love their women, and if more women 209 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: loved their men, it would solve a lot of problems. 210 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: But that is not at the core of how many 211 00:17:54,600 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 1: children are brought into this world. And you've you've, you're 212 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: you're removing the very basis upon which the family unit operates, 213 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: and when that works, it works. It's amazing that it's 214 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: become rare, not extinct, but rare to such a to 215 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: such a degree that we notice it and remark on it. 216 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: It's it's an area where we need to fix that 217 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: in our culture because the rot is too much. But 218 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: one of the ways you fix it is you extol 219 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:41,919 Speaker 1: the virtues where you see it. So let's go to Julie. Julie, 220 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: you are on the Michael Berry Show, sweetheart. 221 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 6: Go ahead, Well, good morning, Michael. 222 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 1: Yes, ma'am. 223 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 6: Can you hear me? 224 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: I can hear I am? 225 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 6: I'm calling regarding that I'm calling regarding that home birth 226 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 6: you and I've met. I obviously have a scene name. 227 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 6: I'm a female. I have an aunt who also attempted 228 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 6: to do a home birth with a midwife some years ago, 229 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 6: and the birth went sideways. Fortunately, the child did just fine. 230 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 6: He's an amazing thirty five year old man now. And 231 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 6: I'm grateful that this child that this woman had is 232 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 6: healthy and everything went wild and great for her and 233 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 6: has been progressive. But having that child end up that birth, 234 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 6: that my family end up in the county hospital because 235 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 6: she'd never gone to any other hospitals, nobody else would 236 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 6: accept her during her pregnancy. He was born in a 237 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 6: county hospital here. I believe home births are reckless in 238 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 6: this city, and I wouldn't risk my child's life for that. 239 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 6: So I'm grateful she's happy, and I'm grateful that that 240 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 6: child is safe, But I I wouldn't do that, not 241 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 6: in this day and age. 242 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: Well, I understand you wouldn't, but other people would. How 243 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: about this anecdote is the basis of your opinion? Do 244 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: you know that the number three cause of death in 245 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: hospitals is medical error, not negligence, medical error of error 246 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 1: leaving the scissors inside. So many things that go wrong, 247 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 1: people that go septic. I'll bet you that the rate 248 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: of birth healthy full birth for midwife and doulah informed 249 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: birds in this country is healthier and a higher rate 250 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: than hospital based bursts. 251 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 6: And I won't disagree on that part. And You're right. 252 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 6: We have we have humans that are working on humans, 253 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 6: and they make mistakes and they get in a hurry 254 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 6: for the almighty whatever their goal is in life. But 255 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 6: the way I personally look at it, and I'm only 256 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 6: speaking for me, I would not have ever done that. 257 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 6: I believe that would be terribly reckless, because we've gotten 258 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 6: past having children that are born at home. And you're 259 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 6: standing there in a cemetery in the eighteen forties and 260 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 6: there's six children and they're all dead within two years 261 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,439 Speaker 6: of their lives, and there's a whole string of them. 262 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 6: And we are a better culture than that. 263 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,360 Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, And that's I'm gonna I'm 264 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 1: gonna stop you there, because this talk about this is 265 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: like the scientists in Louisiana that bred a crab with 266 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: the cheetah. It went sideway fast. This is no, no, no, 267 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: We're not better than that. I'm coming to the conclusion 268 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: that when I hear someone say that someone is better 269 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: than that, I always disagree. It's seemingly always disagree. The 270 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:24,120 Speaker 1: reason you believe that is because you have been convinced 271 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: that there is advancement and development and peer pressure, and 272 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:39,360 Speaker 1: this idea that there are these god figures who operate 273 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: behind general hospital or whatever television show the exalted hospital 274 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: and it is the great institution. And by the way, 275 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: I grew up this way too, believing this nonsense. And 276 00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: so you would go to this place. There would be 277 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: the hospital, and the doors would pop open, and you'd 278 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: have the air conditioning curtain as you went in, and 279 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 1: there would be wheelchairs over here in a waiting room 280 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: with people looking sad, and a person at the intake, 281 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: Who's who's hassled and bothered? And have you been to 282 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: a hospital lately? My I can't remember my mother or 283 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: my father for about two years there, we had a 284 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 1: lot of problems, and I would have them sent to 285 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: Houston because I could get them in faster. And they 286 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: were at one of the major Houston hospital systems. And 287 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: my dad was almost comatose, and so I had a 288 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: doctor come and treat him in the in the waiting 289 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,719 Speaker 1: room as a favorite of me, and and but had 290 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: I not had that personal relationship, he possibly could have died. 291 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: They're in the waiting room. And as I waited in 292 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: the waiting room, or as I like to call it Mexico, 293 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: nobody spoke English, which is fine. I speak Spanish. I 294 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: knew everything they were saying, and every single person there 295 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: was gaming the system. So they couldn't put my dad 296 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: in a room. They put him in a hallway. There 297 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,439 Speaker 1: was a guy waiting in the hallway that had been 298 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: there for over twenty years, hit an open, rotting sore 299 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: in his leg. 300 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 4: You have. 301 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 1: An unnaturally high view of hospitals and the medical medical 302 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: community and all that crime is so bad in Chicago. 303 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: A black man quoted as saying that he is fleeing 304 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: the city and moving back to Africa. 305 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,880 Speaker 11: Hey, Trump, Trump, you need to bring the National Guards 306 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 11: to Chicago. 307 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 7: Man. 308 00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 11: You got kids killing kids.

God, look here, there's not one democracy 333 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 8: in Africa worth living in. 334 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 2: The people over there, they live in mud huts. 335 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 1: They ain't got running why, they ain't got. 336 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 8: Electricitan, they ain't voting, they don't got no freedom of nothing. 337 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: Africa not all that. 338 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 8: But I'm African. 339 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 7: Shut up, God, let me explain something to you. 340 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 2: What we're the lucky ones. 341 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 8: We got the hell out of Africa. 342 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 1: Raman. What's a Vietnamese giants' favorite meal? What's a Vietnamese 343 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: giants favorite meal? Three? Five four? But it's pronounced buff. 344 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: You know when babies are born today? You know when 345 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 1: the baby comes out of the most important factor determining 346 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: when a baby is born? What time and date do 347 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: you know the doctor's tea time? I wish that was 348 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: a joke. Just pay attention to young people, and notice 349 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: the trend of how many scheduled births we have today. 350 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 1: And notice a number of C sections that are conducted today. 351 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: I'll bet you there are twenty five times the number 352 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: of sea sections performed today as there used to be 353 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: used to. If they couldn't get the baby out or 354 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: there was some significant problem, they would rush the baby 355 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: in and go digging around in there, and they'd pull 356 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: it out from the belly if they had to. Today 357 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: obstetricians decided I don't want to be called at two 358 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: twenty because your wife's water broke and y'all are driving 359 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: in and getting all dramatic. I'm over this. Let me 360 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: look at my schedule here. We'll have the baby on 361 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 1: October ninth. Y'all need to be here early. We'll do 362 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: the procedure at nine, and you'll have your baby by noon. 363 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: And that's that's what we're Let's see, Maria, do we 364 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: have October nights? Still look good? Okay? Well, schedule it 365 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: that week is good because I'm going on safari the 366 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: week before and we've got a house. We got a 367 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: house in northern California that week after, so you can 368 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: you can have the baby anytime that week. I'm not 369 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: anti doctor, I'm not anti hospital, I'm not anti medicine. 370 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: I am wake up and look at everything anew because 371 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: everything you thought you knew is now wrong. Our country 372 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 1: has changed dramatically. If your doctor prescribes a drug for you, 373 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: you should spend ten hours on the internet before you 374 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: put that poison in your body. The products that you 375 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: buy on the shelves at the grocery store that you 376 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: thought you could trust, that it turns out, can be 377 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: left outside for years. The meats, the different products that 378 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: are no longer made by somebody who lives in your state, 379 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: those things should wake you up. We don't go to 380 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: war because we're attacked. We're not protecting America. We're making 381 00:29:54,560 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: a few people very happy. There's a church for every crazy, kooky, ungodly, 382 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 1: unbiblical position out there, so the most wicked amongst us 383 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: can be church goers and not sinners. Oh sure, I 384 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: know that sounds crazy, and I'm okay with that. It's 385 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: better not to know. But when you tell me it 386 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: is reckless to do the most natural thing in the world, 387 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: and that is a natural childbirth, and that somehow that 388 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: is reckless because babies all died before on an otherwise 389 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: very healthy pregnancy, on a woman giving birth to number six, 390 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: and then have this sort of chastising view that these 391 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: people are backward. I can't abide that. You know, for 392 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: every joke we made growing up of the Mormons, Mormons 393 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: are the Amish, are the homeschoolers? Are the doulas or 394 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: the midwives are the cord cutters. For every joke that 395 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: was made, there was based in that a slight uncertainty 396 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: that maybe, just maybe they're right. See, if you're a Christian, 397 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: you don't have to doubt, but if you're a non believer, 398 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: you go, well, if I'm right and he's wrong, we're 399 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: both dead. But if he's right and I'm wrong, So 400 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 1: there's always that nagging doubt. There is always the sense 401 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: of superiority that those people who are doing something that 402 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 1: I would never dare do because it's brave and it's bold, 403 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: and it's different and it's unconventional. So it's better for 404 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: me to judge them and reduce them to being beneath me. 405 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: Using ideas that have been fed to me by people 406 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 1: who profited from them makes me feel better about myself. 407 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: I make good decisions, I put my hands, I put 408 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: my life into the hands of people who pay their 409 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: mortgages off of me and rely on me, and all 410 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: the while I get to feel righteous about it that 411 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: someone else did not or could not do that, so 412 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 1: I'm better than them, smarter than them, and deep down 413 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: I secretly hope something goes wrong in those people's lives 414 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: because of the decisions they made as to how they 415 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 1: lived their lives that I would never have the strength 416 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: of character and self confidence to make for myself.
