1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. So we keep hearing 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: that there is a lot of gender transition going on, 3 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: and then sometimes we hear that there's not so much 4 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: gender transition going on. And I've kind of felt like 5 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: it was a topic that people sort of didn't want 6 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: to talk about, and so we haven't talked about it 7 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: that much recently, and I think that some of the 8 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: campaigns have sort of shied away from it. But then 9 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: I saw this ad the other day and it was 10 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: kind of shocking. I wonder if we can play that 11 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: ad really quick before we bring our guests in. 12 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 2: Medicaid data shows ninety seven underage girls had their breasts 13 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 2: completely removed. Fourteen underage girls underwent hysterectomies. Sex change operations 14 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 2: attempting to make young boys into girls. Penis amputations sound weird, disgusting, 15 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 2: It is, and you're paying for it. Kamala Harris supports 16 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 2: these taxpayer funded sex change operations. A vote for Harris 17 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 2: a vote for medical experiments on kids. 18 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: So I haven't been shy on this podcast about the 19 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: fact that I went through breast cancer and had a 20 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: double mistectomy. And I listened to this ad and I 21 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 1: thought the horror of this happening to young girls, and 22 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: so I wanted to bring someone on from Catholic Vote, 23 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: the Catholic Voters who produced these ads. So we have 24 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: Brian Birch with us here today. He is the founder 25 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: and president of Catholic Vote. Thank you so much for 26 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: joining me. 27 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 3: Well, good to be here. I wish it was on 28 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 3: a better topic, but this needs to be told. So 29 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,559 Speaker 3: I'm very grateful that you are willing to talk about 30 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 3: this because not everyone's willing to do so. 31 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 1: Well, like I said, having gone through this myself as 32 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: a necessity and thinking about these young girls that are 33 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: going through this, and the thing that shocked me was 34 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: the hysterectomies. And I know this is probably a little 35 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: graphic for you, but just so you know my history. 36 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: I went to the doctor and I had my cancer 37 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: is hormone, I guess is sensitive to hormones, and so 38 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: there was the option to have a hysterectomy. And I 39 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: was in my thirty late thirties when this happened. And 40 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: the experts at Johns Hopkins University said to me, the 41 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: benefits do not outweigh the risks. The risks are dying 42 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: of cancer at this point, right, But the benefits of it, 43 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: of keeping me safe from that, do not outweigh the 44 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: risks of getting rid of all my hormones at that age, 45 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: because it would be so detrimental to me, because my 46 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: bones would be brittle, because my hair would fall out, 47 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: because of all the things that happen when you have 48 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: a hysterectomy. And this is happening to children. How can 49 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: this be. 50 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 3: Well, this is so important. We're not talking about children 51 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 3: who've been diagnosed with cancer, who have some health condition. 52 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 3: These are surgeries that are now occurring on underaged children. 53 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 3: And by the way, this is anonymous health data. We 54 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 3: don't know who the specific patients are. What we do 55 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 3: know is that publicly available National insurance Claims database that 56 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 3: we have access to has reported that there have been 57 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 3: insurance reimbursements by both private insurance companies and taxpayer funded 58 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 3: Medicaid to perform transgender surgeries on underaged children. This is 59 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 3: under the age of seventeen, and in each of these cases, 60 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 3: these were again not legitimate diagnosis for cancer. These are 61 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 3: confirmed mutilations of children identified as transgender. They're voluntary surgeries occurring. 62 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: On children, and we're paying for this we. 63 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 3: Are paying for them, and they are happening by the thousands, 64 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,119 Speaker 3: and we are able to discover in some of these 65 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 3: important states that are going to decide the presidential election 66 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 3: the actual numbers, and I have some of those. I'm 67 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,119 Speaker 3: happy to share some of these. For example, Yes, in Pennsylvania, 68 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 3: three hundred and forty five full mass sectomies on underaged children, 69 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 3: twenty four hysterectomies. I know some of this language is graphic, 70 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 3: but we're talking about amputations of boys. Genitalia. Six castrations 71 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 3: in Michigan. The numbers are similar, Wisconsin, Nevada. Again, these 72 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 3: are I mean, it's almost unimaginable that this is occurring 73 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: in our country. And this has now been temporarily banned 74 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 3: in many countries in Europe for lots of different health reasons. 75 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 3: The national government that controls the healthcare system in England 76 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 3: has temporarily halted all of this. Why because they say 77 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 3: they have no certainty about the health outcomes here. And 78 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 3: this is important because you think you brought this up 79 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 3: at the beginning. Every health decision a person makes, whether 80 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 3: you're a child or not, involves the questions of weighing 81 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 3: benefits and harms, and in these cases, these are wholly experimental, 82 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 3: kind of whole brave new world medical experiments where I 83 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 3: will tell you it's not a question of medicine. It's 84 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 3: a question of doctors and insurance companies and these new 85 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 3: clinics that are making millions of dollars off of our kids, 86 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 3: and we are paying for some of it. 87 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: And if you think there aren't people out there that 88 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: will do things like this for money, I mean, why 89 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: else would you do this? Because when I was, like 90 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: I said, when I went to Johns Hopkins, my doctors 91 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: who were breast surgeons and dealt with people having surgery 92 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: on a daily basis, said to me, the goal here 93 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: is to have as few surgeries as possible, because every 94 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: time someone cuts into you, it changes something in your life. 95 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: I mean, these are surgeons telling me the goal is 96 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: to cut into you as few times as we have 97 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: to do. I just I cannot understand this. And when 98 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: you talk about penis amputations, these are things I and 99 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: like you said, this is graphic stuff, but we were told, oh, 100 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: it's so rare, it's not really happening. You see these 101 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: Twitter posts where these girls have their arms cut apart 102 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: because they're creating a penis out of the arm, and oh, 103 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: that's it's incredibly rare. That's not happening, But it is happening, 104 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: and I cannot imagine. I mean, think about if somebody said, 105 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: I just I can't stand having my leg anymore. A 106 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: surgeon would never say, you know what, we're just going 107 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: to amputate it because you just hate it, you don't 108 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: want to have it, We're going to get rid of 109 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: it this and there's no proven method. I mean, if 110 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: that would actually have been easier, there's a proven way 111 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: to amputate the leg and still let the person have 112 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: a normal, a normal lifestyle. But these kids that are 113 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: getting their penis amputated, they're oftentimes having lifelong complications which 114 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: lead to suicide. Like you said, I believe that's what 115 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: the folks in Europe were saying. This is not reducing 116 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: the suicide rate. In fact, we're seeing that eventually these 117 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: people are more unhappy. 118 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 3: Well, you're absolutely right, number one. A basic kind of 119 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 3: principle of medicine is that you don't do things that 120 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 3: are not intended to bring about a better healthy outcome. 121 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 3: These are voluntary surgeries on healthy children. Yes, they are 122 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 3: having some sort of psychological or mental illness of some sort, 123 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 3: that they are now convinced by the medical community that 124 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 3: it's their sexual identity identity that's the problem, and therefore 125 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 3: they need to go through these procedures. But you make 126 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 3: another really important point. Really what this is about. You 127 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 3: have to follow the money. And we have also been 128 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 3: able to uncover the amount of dollars that are now 129 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 3: flowing through this whole industry, and it's millions and millions 130 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 3: of dollars. And as we've now learned, I think Robert F. 131 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 3: Kennedy and others have made this point, our health system 132 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 3: is corrupted where the incentives are backwards. Now. Doctors and 133 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 3: hospital systems and certainly this industry are incentive to put 134 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 3: patients into a track where they become essentially patients for life. 135 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 3: And this is one of the things we learned as 136 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 3: we discovered a lot of this data is really what 137 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 3: they're doing is they're consigning these kids to a chronic disease. 138 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 3: Because this is not an in and out sort of 139 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 3: like you know, a simple procedure. These involves hormone therapy, 140 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 3: puberty blockers, eventually surgeries. Of course, the body reacts to 141 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 3: these surgeries, it rejects it, and so these kids have 142 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 3: to go back for multiple surgeries, back for more drugs, 143 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 3: and they are essentially behold into the pharma pharmaceutical industry 144 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 3: and the rest of the medical community that tricked them 145 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 3: into this for the rest of their life. They become 146 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,239 Speaker 3: a patient for life where they are paying essentially having 147 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 3: to repeat this process as they endure this all the 148 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 3: side effects and unhealthy outcomes. And of course who benefits 149 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 3: the most, the doctors doing this that are making millions 150 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 3: of dollars. 151 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: And why are we not allowed to talk about the 152 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,719 Speaker 1: true science behind this. That it is incredibly rare for 153 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: someone to have true gender dysphoria, not impossible. I mean 154 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: even when I was in college, we studied gender dysphoria 155 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: knowing that this was the thing. And we can go 156 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: back in history and there are times when you will 157 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:06,079 Speaker 1: find that this was even in the seventeen hundreds, of 158 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: sixteen hundreds, you can find record of someone who felt 159 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: that they were in the wrong body. So rare, this 160 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: is not thirty five cases in one year in one 161 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: state in a group of gosh of children. We've got 162 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: to be talking about maybe two million children. You're going 163 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: to have that many of them that are suddenly going 164 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: to be to the point where they would actually mutilate 165 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: their bodies. It is shocking to me. I mean, Pennsylvania, 166 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: you're talking about ninety kids that are so sure that 167 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: they're in the wrong body. But also, if we're talking 168 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: about true science here, we also can prove that so 169 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: many of these kids grow out of these feelings. So 170 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: why is it that we have to do it now? 171 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: Why isn't it that, like Europe is saying, you know what, 172 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: if you still feel this way when you're twenty five, 173 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: then you can go to a doctor and see what 174 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: you want to do on your own dime and figure 175 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: it out. How are these kids being convinced of this 176 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: when this is not something that science tells us is 177 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: a for sure thing at the age of fifteen, fourteen, thirteen. 178 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,559 Speaker 3: Well, this is probably the most important point, but let's 179 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 3: confirm what you're saying. The known health outcome of these 180 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 3: experiments is infertility for life. They can never have children. 181 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 3: If you are a young girl who undergoes this, you 182 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 3: will never have children the rest of your life. Many 183 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 3: of these kids suffer irreversible side effects of these things 184 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 3: that are known. These are consequences of this choice. But 185 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 3: you raise a really important question, why what is the 186 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 3: is the goal here? Is it just making money? Yes, 187 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 3: certainly that's part of it. We live in a greedy, 188 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 3: terrible society that is willing to make money by whatever 189 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 3: means sometimes, But there's something more here. We now think 190 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 3: we can play God with the human body. We are 191 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 3: in the midst of a a whole kind of let's 192 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 3: just call it modern ideology, secular ideology, where we're going 193 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 3: to trash all kind of traditional ideas of the body, 194 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 3: moral norms, traditional ways of understanding and accepting nature, and 195 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 3: now pretend that we through some sort of crazy scientific 196 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 3: insights that we now have, that we are going to 197 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 3: improve humanity. This is what they're now arguing. This is 198 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 3: not just we need to help children who are suffering, 199 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 3: and then we need to treat them in a way 200 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 3: that will help bring them and give them a better life. 201 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 3: That's what they argue. What they're really saying is we 202 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 3: are going to play God and we are going to 203 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 3: remake humanity in a way that we believe will be 204 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 3: better than what God gave us. We are going to 205 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 3: alter biology itself and treat it with certainly drugs and interventions, 206 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 3: and surgeries and the outcome. Of course, we have no 207 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 3: idea how are these children going to react ten twenty 208 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 3: years from now, or what portion of our population are 209 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 3: we going to experiment with and what's going to be 210 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 3: the consequence? Then No, do they have a right to 211 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 3: sue these doctors if it turns out that they live 212 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 3: a terrible life? Or do the families have a right 213 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 3: to go after these doctors if their children commit suicide. No, 214 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 3: they waive all their liability and the children pay the price. 215 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 216 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: a Tutor Dixon podcast. I hate to burst everyone's bubble here, 217 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: but these are experience, truly experiments. I mean, it is 218 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: called the practice of medicine. It's not a definite answer 219 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: to everything. And when you have something new like this, 220 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: it has to be people have to go through it 221 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: to see what it's like. And these doctors are anxious 222 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: to be the ones who are publishing in a journal 223 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: and putting the studies out. And as crazy as that sounds, 224 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: I mean, the doctor Frankenstein model is not unusual because 225 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 1: people want to be I've done something new, I've done 226 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: some different and it's interesting because for everybody saying, oh, 227 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: you know, there's no everybody's the same, there's no innovation. 228 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: There's always a desire for innovation in every field. This 229 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 1: is the most disgusting innovation I can ever imagine that 230 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: people would actually say, let's see what happens when we 231 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: cut off someone's genitals. And I think that's one of 232 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: the saddest situations is these young boys who end up 233 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: never being able to use the bathroom again, or never 234 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: being able to stop going to the bathroom. There's problems. 235 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you rarely hear of a case where it's like, oh, 236 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: everything went perfectly and there's this is a beautiful life. 237 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 1: Now everyone's happy. It's just I mean, you could just 238 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 1: logically think about it, and it's not an easy situation. 239 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: But the crazy part about it is that if you 240 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: come out and say, how could you do this to 241 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: a child? You are demonized And I just I don't 242 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: know how society got to the point where if you 243 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: say stop cutting children apart, you're the bad guy. 244 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. No, I'll tell you. We haven't released this publicly, 245 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 3: but we are looking at this data, and we're looking 246 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 3: at the other hospital and reimbursable codes that accompany these 247 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 3: patient journeys, and I will the saddest part of this, 248 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 3: and I know we'll probably talk a little bit about 249 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 3: the politics of it and being yes, there's a political 250 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 3: and policy dimension to this, but the lives of these children, well, 251 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 3: we've discovered in the data that the vast majority of 252 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 3: these cases involved a a preceding diagnosis of autism or 253 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 3: some kind of mental illness. So these are children who 254 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 3: desperately need our help, and we're treating them by cutting 255 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 3: up their bodies and permanently altering them for the rest 256 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 3: of their life. It is absolutely horrendous. It makes me 257 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 3: so angry to think about these vulnerable children that are 258 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 3: becoming essentially scientific experiments for some sort of new humanity 259 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 3: ideology call it whatever you want, Frankenstein, etc. They are 260 00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 3: They're the ones we should be focused on and we 261 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 3: should never never be ashamed of standing up for kids, 262 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 3: no matter what people say that this is something we 263 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 3: can't talk about because this is affirming and all the 264 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 3: various you know, I don't know lies they tell the 265 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 3: public about what they're doing. 266 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, because they twist what you say, They twisted into 267 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: you're not protecting kids, You're not for kids. You are 268 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: discriminating against these kids. It's like, give me a break. 269 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: And I you know, in some cases I think that 270 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: the parents are involved in a strange way, and in 271 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: some cases I think the parents have been completely manipulated 272 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: by this new system. As soon as there's something out 273 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: there that's new and experimental, there are people who want 274 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: to be experimenting. But we're in kind of this backward society. 275 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 3: Now. 276 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: I would say, where if you talk about things about 277 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: protecting people, about protecting life in any way, you are 278 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: the bad guy. And certainly we saw that here in Michigan. 279 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: If you are concerned with life, you're the bad guy. 280 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: And I wanted to play another ad for you. This 281 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: is an ad that the Democrats made because I think 282 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: there's so much in this ad that is disturbing and 283 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if the I honestly don't know. Now 284 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: I feel like world is so confused. Do average people 285 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: listen to this and have the same reaction that I 286 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: did when I listened to this? Or is the average 287 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: person listening to this and say, Wow, this is so amazing, 288 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: this is why we have got to have abortion on demand. 289 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: So here, we'll play this ad for you, and then 290 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: I want to get your reaction. I'm not old enough 291 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: to vote yet, but I learned how one out of 292 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: six of us will someday be raped, So please think 293 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: about me when you vote. I learned how our freedom 294 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: to have an abortion was taken away. 295 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 3: Even in cases of rape or incest, even to travel 296 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 3: to get an abortion. 297 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: Please think about me. You know who got rid of 298 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: Robie Wade. 299 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 3: Now women are being refused life saving care at hospitals, 300 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 3: and politicians are trying to ban birth control. 301 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,959 Speaker 1: Please think about me. My parents call me their miracle 302 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: daughter because I was born with IVF. But IVF could 303 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: be banned. Two do they think we're less than human? 304 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 3: Do they think we can't make decisions about our own bodies, 305 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 3: about our own lives. 306 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: When you vote, please think about me and me and me. 307 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: Because the politician who got rid of R. V. Wade, 308 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 1: he couldn't care less. So I watched that ad and 309 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: to me, it's shocking because, first of all, politically, there 310 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: is no question that there's no danger to IVF, there's 311 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 1: no danger to birth control. Those are just scare tactics 312 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: so that they can get these young girls to go 313 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: Holy cow. If I vote for a Republican, I am 314 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: going to have no future. The fact that they're saying 315 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: one in six girls will be raped and that's why 316 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: we have to have a on demand It's like there 317 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 1: is a bigger story here. 318 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, oh so true. First of all, that you're right, 319 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 3: the ad is full of lies. There's virtually no place, 320 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 3: there is no place in the country where true medical 321 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 3: care is denied a woman who needs it. There is cases, 322 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 3: certainly where a pregnancy can't continue and the mother's life 323 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 3: is in danger, and there's not a single abortion law 324 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 3: in this country that would prevent a mother from getting 325 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 3: the cares she needs. Secondly, the rape and incests exception IVF. 326 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 3: Of course, different people, including me as a Catholic, object 327 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 3: to some of these things, but the public policy in 328 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,439 Speaker 3: this country permits so that it's an utter lie. But 329 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 3: to your point, this is such an outrageous manipulation. Granted 330 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 3: we just talked about exploiting children's bodies, this is exploiting 331 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 3: children's voices. I would love to actually interview any of 332 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 3: these individual young girls and ask them what were you 333 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 3: told to say? Was this all scripted for? You do 334 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,679 Speaker 3: actually believe this? And to your point, what is the 335 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 3: what are the social and cultural circumstances that are leading 336 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 3: to this perceived need to have abortion for any reason, 337 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 3: at any stage in pregnancy, or for children's bodies to 338 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 3: be cut up. What are we doing to our kids 339 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 3: where our only answer is kill your child or maim 340 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 3: your body for life. That can't be the answer. If 341 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 3: that's the answer of our public policy, then we're getting 342 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 3: something deeply wrong. There's upstream problems that are creating a 343 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 3: culture that where these kinds of answers are essentially sick. 344 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 3: This is an almost pathetic answer for the real needs 345 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 3: of children. 346 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 1: Well, I think we all thought it was one thing 347 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 1: when they said they wanted it to be safe, legal, 348 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: and rare. We understand that there are people that get 349 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 1: into a tough situation and they feel like they have 350 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: no other options and they don't have the background or 351 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 1: the support system that others have, and that that was 352 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: a situation years ago that was a real problem in 353 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,360 Speaker 1: this country, and at that time they said safely, gone, rare. 354 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: Now the message is consistently motherhood is a burden. If 355 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: this happens to you, your life is over. It's a horrible, 356 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,360 Speaker 1: horrible thing. And I take offense to that. 357 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, what an insult to mothers across this country that 358 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 3: have chosen to become mothers and to embrace life. This, 359 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 3: by the way, was for all of essentially human civilization 360 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 3: until like the last twenty years we celebrated motherhood. Why 361 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 3: you don't have children, you die as a civilization. A 362 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 3: country that's not having babies as a country that's dying. 363 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,679 Speaker 3: This is what's happening to the entire Western world. You 364 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 3: look at Europe, you look at Japan, They're in massive 365 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 3: demographic death spirals. China had to stop its one child policy. 366 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 3: They're paying people, begging people to have children. And once 367 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 3: the answer in our country we need to beef up 368 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 3: our loss that you can kill your children, because lest 369 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 3: you become a mother, as you said, your life is over. 370 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 3: We have a much deeper problem about how we understand 371 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 3: and celebrate essentially that foundational role of women in society. 372 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 3: We have. It's not just a downstream problem of trans 373 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 3: surgeries and abortion. It's what are we saying to women 374 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 3: today about what makes them special? Unique? 375 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: The gifts that you have are burdens. 376 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 3: Yes, oh so so well put, and I think as 377 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 3: a matter of public policy, we can't just be talking 378 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 3: about what we're going to limit and ban, and enable 379 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 3: and subsidize. We need to be talking about the kinds 380 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,719 Speaker 3: of things that are going to lift women and mothers 381 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 3: back up and prioritize them in the way that we 382 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 3: used to. 383 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: And I hear people, I mean, even Kamala Harris has 384 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: been on this kick lately of you know, I know 385 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: that maternal mortality rates are horrible in this country, and 386 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: I want to make sure that that isn't a problem 387 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: for women. But you know what, it's the Democrats who 388 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: have been taking funding away from pregnancy centers, from clinics 389 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: in some of our most impoverished areas that need these clinics. 390 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: They've been taking funding away from the clinics that will 391 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: actually help pregnant women who want to have a baby, 392 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: who want to have a baby safely. They don't like 393 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: the fact that they want to have a baby safely, 394 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,880 Speaker 1: So their record shows that they actually pull money from 395 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: all of those places. They pull money from true healthcare 396 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: because they are so obsessed with the fact that women 397 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: shouldn't want to do that, you shouldn't want to have 398 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: a baby, And it's become this mantra of this is 399 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: why it's such a burden. Look at people like Oprah 400 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: who have been so successful and never had to have children, 401 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: And that's totally your choice. But for most people, I 402 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: think the majority of the country wants to have a family. 403 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 1: That is like, because that's innate. God gives you that 404 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: desire in your heart to say, you know what, I 405 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: want to pro create. I want to have a family 406 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 1: of my own. To deny that women out there want 407 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: to have children is to create a society that is 408 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: broken hearted. And it feels very very much like you 409 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: are doing something that is against the norm, whereas it's 410 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: not against the norm. And I'm not saying that if 411 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: you choose not to have a child that that's a problem. 412 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: I'm just saying that if you are in this situation today, 413 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: the Democrats are telling you we want to take away 414 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: the care for you as a pregnant woman, to only 415 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: give you another one option. 416 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,880 Speaker 3: No, you're so right, And the overwhelming body of evidence 417 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 3: suggests that women who find themselves pregnant and a difficult 418 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 3: pregnancy may be surprised work planning to get pregnant and 419 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 3: face that question, which is of course as a man, 420 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 3: I can't imagine it. But where you have forced to 421 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 3: decide whether to carry this baby. The overwhelming number of 422 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 3: women would prefer to keep their child if they had 423 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 3: the support, if they had their husband or their boyfriend, 424 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 3: or their employer or their family support. Yes, and even 425 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 3: our culture and our government support. No. But the answer 426 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 3: we give them is go take care of the problem 427 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 3: and get back to work or get back to being 428 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 3: productive in a way that that child would deny you. 429 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 3: As if your only value is to be some sort 430 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 3: of profit making cog in a machine. What a what 431 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 3: a terrible like degradation of women? And I think you 432 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 3: know our politicians and you as you, as you rightly 433 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 3: point out Kamala Harris as the Attorney General in California, 434 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 3: and certainly the Department of Justice is working over time 435 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 3: to shut down, regulate and essentially regulately out of existence 436 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 3: any kind of pregnancy care center that's offering an alternative, counseling, diapers, bottles, 437 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 3: job job help, help with your resume, help get the 438 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 3: the even alternatives. Whether maybe you would choose to give 439 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 3: your child up for adoption, that option is being taken away. 440 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 3: And they talk about being pro choice, or at least 441 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 3: they used to. They're not in favor of the alternative choice. 442 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 3: They're in favor of one choice. They're in favor of 443 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 3: imposing a single choice on women so that what they 444 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,479 Speaker 3: can redefine what it means to be a woman and 445 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 3: to destroy the idea of motherhood as something we should celebrate. 446 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 1: Stay tuned for more with Brian Birch, But first I 447 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: want to tell you about my partners at IFCJ. With 448 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: the rise of anti Semitism and continued attacks on Israel, 449 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 1: it's more important than ever to stand with Israel and 450 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: the Jewish people. As we approach the one year mark 451 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: of October seventh, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews 452 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 1: is partnering with over two hundred and thirty churches and 453 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: organizations across America in Flags of Fellowship by planting Israeli 454 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 1: flags to remember the over twelve hundred victims. You can 455 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 1: be a part of Flags of Fellowship too. There's a 456 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: tremendous need for food and basic supplies for evacuated families 457 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,919 Speaker 1: trying to survive in communities that are impacted by the 458 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: ongoing war, and that's why I'm asking today for twelve 459 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: hundred of my listeners to make a gift of one 460 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 1: hundred dollars to help provide emergency food boxes for displaced 461 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: families in Israel.

Now, stay tuned. 468 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: We've got more with Brian Birch after this, and you know, 469 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: I will be honest, I hate this subject as a 470 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 1: political subject because it's a moral subject and it doesn't 471 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: belong in the political spectrum. And I think that that 472 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: the fact that they've had so much success demonizing motherhood 473 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: has really hurt society because like you're afraid to talk 474 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 1: about it, right, And businesses are now coming out and saying, 475 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: you know what, we'll pay for your abortion rather than 476 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: we'll pay for your childcare, and we have a childcare 477 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: crisis in this country. We also have an employees market 478 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: that they can go from one business to the next 479 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: and say, what are you going to offer me? The 480 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: best of the best, and oftentimes or in the past 481 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: the best of the best was we're going to give you. 482 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: We're going to give you benefits. We're going to make 483 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 1: sure you have your health care taken care of. You 484 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,679 Speaker 1: will have maternity leave, and in some cases you'll have 485 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: paternity leave. And you're also going to have childcare either 486 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: on site or we provide childcare in the area, to 487 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: make sure that you can have it all. You can 488 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: work and you can raise your family, because we want 489 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: you to be able to have a family. But that's 490 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 1: kind of gone by the wayside because the political argument 491 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,199 Speaker 1: has taken away from that culture of we want to 492 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: help moms through it because now people are like, oh, 493 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: I want to be conscious that you don't want to 494 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: be a mom. Well that's the why are we assuming 495 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: everybody doesn't want to be a mom? 496 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 3: Right? Well, I mean, I know it's hard as a 497 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 3: matter of politics because it is a moral issue, but 498 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 3: we don't have a choice if we stop having children. 499 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 3: As I said a minute ago, we die as a country. 500 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 3: Who's going to pay for sourial security when it goes 501 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 3: bankrupt years, who's going to fill off new factories? If 502 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 3: we're going to domesticate new preation in society, who's going 503 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 3: to find wars. Who's going to raise the next generation 504 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 3: if you don't, If you stop having children, you die 505 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 3: as a society. And we're seeing this, and you know, 506 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 3: we can pretend that we can go along in this 507 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 3: fun game for a while where no one has children 508 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 3: anymore and we all kind of just live our self 509 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 3: gratifying lives and we ignore these kinds of things that 510 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 3: human civilization has focused on since the beginning, and then 511 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 3: we're going to end up exactly where the rest of 512 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 3: the world is, which is begging women to have children, 513 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,679 Speaker 3: paying women to have children, trying to do everything we 514 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 3: possibly can to survive. And it's there will be economic, social, 515 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 3: and all sorts of other consequences of these choices that 516 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 3: we're making today. So, whether we like it or not, 517 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 3: this must be an issue that our public officials need 518 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 3: to address. It's interesting, you know, we need to be 519 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 3: spending the same amount of money on helping women that 520 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 3: we're spending on abortion. We're spending billions of dollars every 521 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 3: year to help them inn access reproductive cares you so 522 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 3: to speak. How much money are we spending on helping 523 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 3: women to choose to keep their child that want to 524 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 3: keep their child? 525 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: Well, and even when you look at these maternal mortality rates, well, okay, 526 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: then what are we doing to invest in making sure 527 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: that women? And first of all, what are we doing 528 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,719 Speaker 1: to figure out why is it a certain demographic that 529 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: didn't have the natal care that they should have had 530 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: because of what they didn't have access to it? Is 531 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: it a rural area, is it an urban area? What 532 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: is happening? Why do we have these I mean, we 533 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: have higher maternal mortality rates than other countries. This is 534 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: the United States of America. It should never be the case. 535 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: And so why aren't we launching a big investigation into 536 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: what is happening and where is the care breakdown? What 537 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: has happened that we have to make sure that going forward. 538 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: Is it that we don't have the people to handle 539 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: it in the hospitals? Is it prenatal? What is it? 540 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: This is not a hard thing to figure out. 541 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 3: I mean, my gosh, so politics on this are actually 542 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 3: in our favor, which drives me crazy that we take 543 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 3: de bait on what are you willing to ban? That's 544 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 3: really what you guys did it in Michigan. You had 545 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 3: to fight through this. Are you what are you willing 546 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 3: to ban? What are you willing to limit. How about 547 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 3: who are we willing to help? And if there's no 548 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 3: consensus on abortion in this country, which there is not, 549 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 3: hate to break it to pro life people, and I'm 550 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 3: one of them, we are in a very difficult spot. 551 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 3: Roe is gone, It's now being fought in the States. 552 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 3: What can we do as a people of life, as 553 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 3: a pro life community, we need to be advancing the 554 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 3: narrative of I want to help women who want to 555 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 3: keep their child. I want to promote and invest in 556 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 3: a culture of life where women are celebrated for bringing 557 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 3: children into this world, because this is good for everybody. 558 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 3: And you start talking about the issue in that way, 559 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 3: we actually could go on offense on abortion. And I 560 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 3: know it takes some talent from some political leaders because 561 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 3: the only conversation the media is allowing us to have 562 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 3: is banning abortion and denying care for women having miscarriages, 563 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 3: which is a bunch are lies. And unfortunately they have 564 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 3: nothing else to run on. So this is all they're 565 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 3: talking about. 566 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: That's exactly right. I mean, honestly, that's exactly right. They 567 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 1: have no policies, and this is all. This tugs at 568 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: the heartstrings of women, and they win. Women with this 569 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: message that you could be in danger. But the funny 570 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 1: thing is that the women who are in danger are 571 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: the ones that they don't take care of who want 572 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: to have a family, and that should be our first 573 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: priority is families in this country and the next generation 574 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: in this country. So I do I agree with you. 575 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: I think that there are so many I've been seeing 576 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: this so on both sides. I've been seeing these influencers 577 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: on the abortion side, who you know, I talk about 578 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: their personal experience and why they think that this has 579 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: to be an option. I've been hearing these influencers who 580 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: are like, you know, I'm the rights worst nightmare. I'm 581 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: in my forties. I go out partying every night, never 582 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: have to get a babysitter because I never had kids, 583 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: and glorifying that if you want that lifestyle, that's totally fine. 584 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 1: And I say to our side, if you want people 585 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: to to understand the beauty of family, get out there 586 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: and have the same type of message. Look, I'm a 587 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: mom of four girls and we have so much fun together. 588 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: It is the greatest joy of my life that I 589 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: have these girls. And yet I don't hear a lot 590 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: of messages from women out there saying this is tough, 591 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 1: but it's so awesome, it's so cool, it's so fun. 592 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: We have some of those influencers. But I also I've 593 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: seen recently, just in the past few weeks, some stories 594 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: of women who were it. They were in high school, 595 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: they were in college, and they got married young, and 596 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: they've posted their stories and like, I thought it was 597 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: going to be awful, and look at my life today 598 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: with these amazing children, and I'm like, wow, those are 599 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 1: stories that need to be heard too, because life we're 600 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: not called to easy things. We're never called to what's easy. 601 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 3: Well, you're right, the left is resorted to shout your abortion. 602 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 3: We need more shout your child stories. Yeah, we need 603 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 3: to be celebrating. Yeah it was hard. Yes, I had 604 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 3: to do things that I never thought I could do, 605 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 3: and there were some tough years there. But anything in 606 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 3: life that's worth, that's worth It always involves some sacrifice 607 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 3: and on the other at the end of the of 608 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 3: the tunnel is something glorious. And by the way, it's 609 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 3: not always terrible. Yes, it's every single pregnancy, every single 610 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 3: experience of motherhood is some sort of you know, uh, 611 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 3: you know worse. Uh, you have to go through the 612 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 3: dark night of the soul, some sort of you know, 613 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 3: terrible thing that. Yeah, there's I have children myself. There's 614 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 3: difficult days and great days, but the great days and 615 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 3: the joy is you know, one hundred x those those 616 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 3: tough days. 617 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: It's a funny thing though, because and maybe I mean, 618 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 1: I think any parent would say this. It's funny because 619 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 1: those tough days. I mean, we are in middle school 620 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: right now with and I have three girls in middle 621 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 1: school right now. In middle school is just a horrible time, 622 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: and there's and and girls are very dramatic, and there's 623 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: lots of weeping in my house. And there are times 624 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: when people are like, you know, crying and ripping their 625 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: shirt on the ground and like the life is over right, 626 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:12,399 Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh my gosh, stop crying. And yet 627 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: even in those really tough moments, there is never a 628 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 1: time when I think this would be easier if I 629 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 1: were on my own. It's like an even more intense 630 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 1: love for these kids, like I've got you, You're fine, 631 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: You're safe right here, you know. And as a parent, 632 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: like you learn a lot too about how to manage 633 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,799 Speaker 1: yourself and how to change your own emotions because you're 634 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 1: like Okay, I did this wrong. I screwed this up. 635 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 1: I need to teach them. And I just think it 636 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 1: creates It creates a different society when you've had to 637 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 1: raise a little person and they have a totally different personality. 638 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: It's there's so much beauty in that too. And then 639 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,840 Speaker 1: there are these moments like last night I was my girls. 640 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 1: Not that anybody cares, but I'll just say there are 641 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 1: these moments that really strike you. Last night, my girls, 642 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: they had a little friend over and they were riding. 643 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: She rode her bike over and it was after dark 644 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 1: when she wanted to go home, and they were like, mom, 645 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,280 Speaker 1: we have to go take her back to our house. 646 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 1: And I said, well, we'll just put her bike in 647 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 1: the car and I'll drive her. And they were like, no, no, no, 648 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 1: we're going to ride our bikes home with her, but 649 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: we want you to follow us in the car so 650 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 1: that you know the lights are on. And as I 651 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 1: was following them and I'm watching their little bodies and 652 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,319 Speaker 1: they're riding their bikes together, I actually stopped the car 653 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: for a minute and took a picture of them together 654 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: because I was like, these are the days. Look at them, 655 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: They're so free, They get to just ride their bike 656 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: with their friend and like those kids. I created those kids. 657 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 1: How what a blessing that God gave them to me? 658 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 1: And I just think that those moments you'll never understand 659 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: how powerful they are if you don't do it. 660 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 3: I want to go back to those days. I could run. 661 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, right. 662 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:59,439 Speaker 3: Exactly, except children are set for gift and they're such 663 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 3: beautiful things to be given. They're such blessings. We used 664 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 3: to use that word right with respect to children, and 665 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,800 Speaker 3: you know, it speaks to the kind of the larger 666 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,320 Speaker 3: kind of what's the point of life? Hear? What do 667 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,240 Speaker 3: we mean if we're not doing something where we're giving 668 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 3: ourselves away to someone. It doesn't have to be a child. 669 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,839 Speaker 3: But obviously, in most cases people have children and that's 670 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 3: the primary thing they do with their life, is they 671 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 3: raise another generation and they give their life away to them. 672 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 3: What satisfaction and joy you get from that at the 673 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 3: end of your life, to say this is what I did, 674 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,880 Speaker 3: this is what I'm leaving this world, a happy, joyful 675 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 3: person who can do what I was able to do. 676 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:42,360 Speaker 3: It's the most glorious thing. And yet we're still debating, 677 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 3: you know, how to carve up their bodies and whether 678 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,840 Speaker 3: to kill them. It just seems so backwards. And you know, 679 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 3: I'm hopeful because I think young people and all the 680 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 3: you know, data out there today, people recognize something's wrong 681 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 3: with the choices we're making. We're not happy as a society. 682 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,239 Speaker 3: We're anxious, we can't sleep. Suicide rates are an all 683 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 3: time high. We know there's something wrong. It's not just this, 684 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:12,320 Speaker 3: but the kind of ideology and the mindset that we've 685 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,920 Speaker 3: absorbed that's leading to some of this is leading to 686 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,239 Speaker 3: a lot of unhappiness. And I think we're starting to 687 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 3: really figure it out, but it's going to take some 688 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 3: time to unwind some of these bad choices we made. 689 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it does, it will, And I think that 690 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 1: what you're saying about wanting to go back that is 691 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 1: kind of Also the beauty of parenthood is that you 692 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 1: have moments where you do go out and ride your 693 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,759 Speaker 1: bike with them, something you didn't you wouldn't have done 694 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 1: in years, and you go out and ride your bike 695 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 1: and you think, gosh, this is just a moment where 696 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,880 Speaker 1: there's no phones, there's no stress. You go out to 697 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,839 Speaker 1: the beach, there's just an afternoon of fun. And those 698 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,879 Speaker 1: are the moments when you go. I want to make 699 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,879 Speaker 1: sure their kids have this. I want to make sure 700 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,480 Speaker 1: that we're safe, that we keep this country the way 701 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 1: it should be, that we make sure that we're not polluting, 702 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 1: that we do all the right things, and so I 703 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: just think that those are the messages we should be 704 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 1: getting out there, and we've we're focused on being angry, 705 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: but we have so many good, beautiful stories to tell them. 706 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 1: Maybe we need to change the narrative. But I appreciate 707 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 1: what you guys are doing at Catholic Vote because I 708 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:18,640 Speaker 1: think you're also bringing about some real truths that are 709 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 1: hard to tell that we just don't get to hear 710 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: all the time. 711 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 3: Well, thank you.
