Welcome to the nonprofit. We scour the internet searching for proof of deities and
the supernatural. Despite not finding information to convince us of the existence of any
god, We're here to tell you what we have found. So buckle up
because the show is starting right now. Hello, Hello, Hello, and
welcome back to another episode of the nonprofit the show where we discuss news and

of my three two of my favorite panelists aren't tonight. You know what?
That was a perfect segue to go ahead and to talk about what we're going
to talk about. Guys, So ready, let's we're going to talk about.
In the first segment, some shit Internet apologists say GOP chair goes full
flat Earth. Yes, yes, an elect official elected official is talking about
how the earth is flatficial elect official elect official is saying some things. Yes,
yes, GOP is uh. In our next segment, m in my
backyard, Um, Illinois Catholic clergy abused more children than reported, so we
will discuss that. And then we have a brand new interstitial called what the
Florida Well, it's not like brand new, but we actually have like video
to go through it and I'm super excited. Um yeah, And we have
a Florida man claiming bud Light released Hell on Earth. I missed the memo.
I missed the memo and um. Then at the very end, we
have a step in the right direction with a Christian teacher band in the UK.
And as with all of our shows, links to today's topics and the
news we discuss are available in the description below. Everybody point down, Everybody
point down. Sorry, you know, if we didn't, we didn't practice
that in the background, y'all. But they're there. And as a reminder
that if you want to come into the show prepared, you can check out
the nonprofits Facebook fan page uh every Friday, I believe yes, every Friday
night for a list of the articles ahead of time. And with that being
said, we're going to go into segment numeral one, and it's going to
be a shit shit Internet apologist say. Internet apologists say, all right,
we knocked that out of the park. I'm gonna give us the thumbs up
on that one. Boy, we nailed that, all right, sore so
for our shit Internet apologists say, So, we're talking about Here's the title
of the article, Georgia geop chair goes full flat Earth says globes are part
of a conspiracy. And this article was written Nicki McCann Ramirez at Rollingstone dot
com on May twenty fourth of this year. And so I just want to
bathe in the glory of that headline for a moment. It's Georgia Goop chair
goes full flat Earth says and this is my favorite part, says globes are
part of a conspiracy. So we're talking about Candice Taylor. She has recently
elected GOP district chair from Georgia, and she was heard on her podcast.
She has this podcast called Jesus, Guns and Babies. I want to make
a note of the order of those on their notice. I think that's important.
But she was speaking with a couple of people. She was talking to
David Weiss, who is also known as flat Earth Dave and Matt Long.
Not sure who that was, but I'm sure he's very important about how the
Earth is really flat and that the promotion of a round Earth is some sort
of conspiracy to I'm sure whatever the conspiracy is for it's it's certainly something really
nasty, I'm sure. So. Taylor is also known for her failed run
for governor of Georgia in twenty twenty two. Well, some think her run
had failed. According to her, the three point seven percent of the vote
that she won in the Republican primary was a misrepresentation of the real will of
the voters and that the election was rigged in favor of her opponent, Governor
Bryant Kemp, who had seventy three point seven percent of the primary vote.
So apparently the vote counters in Georgia and are really really good at fudging the
numbers. That's a big swing there, But you know who would have thunk
it. Now, before we talk about this, I just want to issue
an apology as I'm a member of the public education system, and I want
to apologize to Candice Taylor for the obvious and utter failure the education system has
had in preparing her to be a productive member of society. So ironically and
frighteningly, actually, Taylor is also a teacher. She's a third grade teacher
in Georgia, so watch out for that. So anyway, so who we
got up first? Tao, Y're up next year? Oh yeah, I'm
always ready. Yeah. I would talk about the education or system and how
it has failed to these people, but I want to start by doesn't really
surprise to anyone that they said this silly thing in a podcast called Jesus,
Guns and Babies with a guy called Flat Earth Day. Okay, if you're
going to say something that's stupid, fine the stupid place. It's so good
he that flatters Dave found his niche, because I think if he had not
found that, then he would have this weird nickname that nobody would get exactly.
It's a good thing that he found his place. Some people find when
I need Okay, I guess this person is a how to call it,
a good Christian who actually believes their Bible. And that is the main reason
why they're doing that. Because whenever any Christian or Bible believer tells me,
oh, hey, did you know that the earth is round according to the
Bible, I say yes. If you read Proverbs eight twenty seven and Joe
twenty two fourteen, the original or the closest to the original Bible is described
the earth is described as McGall mcca is a circle. For those people out
there who know what, who know a little bit about geometry, a circle
is a flat figure with around circle around around flat figure. Why well,
because remember that the Bible is just a flat thing that has a dome on
top, and over that dome there are the waters that had to flat the
whole planet or into Genesis. So whenever any Christian says, or any believer
actually says, oh no, no, no, the Bible says the earth
is not a flat they are lying. Check your Hebrew megal literally a circle,
and then they say no, no, no, But the Bible was
written in an old time and the world sphere didn't exist because they never read
Isaiah twenty two eighteen, where they specifically use the word cad cadure means a
spherical three D shape, a ball, or a sphere. Yeah. So,
yeah, guys, this person is somebody who failed at school or the
educational system failed to this person, and this person decided to start believing the
Bible, and that will led this person to go against old basic knowledge of
that humanity house at their disposals, and I think that is very sad for
me, quite sad, really, Kelly, what are you thinking? My
first, I want to say that I was really really surprised that an elected
official could say something like this, But over the last few years, with
some of the things I've heard many different politicians say, I'm not surprised at
all anymore. It's just it just seems normal from some parts of our political
spectrum. And on top of that, if you know anything about Candice Taylor,
as Scott pointed out, you would doubly not be surprised, right.
Um. One thing that Scott didn't touch on was the Georgia guidestones. She
had come out and actually called for them to be destroyed, which of course
they were. That was something we did. We had discussed here on nonprofits
a few months ago when they were blown up, and she was one of
the people calling for that. She was at the forefront of the people calling
for that. Um. Mike Lindell, who actually backed her up on the
bad election, claims again, Yeah, there's no way that you could get
like a seventy three percent to three percent mix up. That's just so bad.
And it wasn't It's just not her podcast, it's all. It's also
her campaign slogan was Jesus, guns and radio. Yeah, And um,
Scott, I want to tell you why. I have a little bit of
experience talking the flat Earthers, and the reason they think that the elites are
keeping this information from us is that they believe there's actually a lot more of
the Earth that because the Earth is flat, it's there's a lot more of
it, and these elites are keeping all these parts of the Earth away from
us so that they can exploits. You can't have any of them unless we
buy them from that I get it right. For the rest of the episode,
just call me flat Earth Scott. I'm convinced, you know, she's
She's pushed all kinds of crazy conspiracy theories, including that the Republican leadership is
all communist, which I can't figure that one out, and Democrats are all
Satan worship worshippers. So her saying she thinks the earth is flint man,
Yeah, man, Cynthia, you want to add to that. You know,
the whole thing I was just thinking when I was listening to her rant
was gloves, gloves, golove, gloves, glove gloves everything. Well,
you you know you've heard of big oil, right, big tobacco. Now
we're talking big balls. Right, That's what this say is the propagandish big
balls. It's all about the big balls. Baby, Oh my gosh right,
insert wraps from the ninety But you know, one of the things that
um, I know, like a lot of you guys actually discussed about Kenda
Taylor her failed GOP run for governor of Georgia. And you know the crazy
thing about it was is that her viewpoints, specifically especially when she was talking
about Jesus, guns and babies, were not really different from the GOP that
was running alongside her. It's just that I just think that her what kind
of shot her on the foot is that she was just way more extreme with
it, and because like it seemed like that everything that she was doing specifically
was a conspiracy theory. When she was running, I remember like she had
like these different pillar talking points that she would like a lay out during her
campaign, and one of the final ones when she said that when I talk
about this, it's really just going to blow your mind and just knock off
the entire conspiracy of everything. And that's when she was talking about the Georgia
Guides guidestones, which you know, this is a piece of arts, not
that overwhelming, it's kind of underwhelming. Um. But like I think that
she just has a tendency just to put a lot more into things than what
it really is. And that's what a lot of times we have specifically with
conspiracy theorists. Um. But you know, I know that tay'all kind of
talked touched about this a little bit. If we're talking about the Hebrew about
you know, different words and where it comes from. Flat. But you
know, most of these crystal fascists are not going into the etymology of biblical
term most of them are not sure. I'm pretty sure we don't even know
what etymology means you know, you know, intersects or something birds, something
like that, something that I wrote, because now that saying that I just
found that I wrote. If she's the leader of the republic we Can Party,
I have to admit this really makes me extremely worried about the IQ of
the Republican Party under people supporting these potation genius Yeah, well, you know,
she like forty five, she's a certified genie or what did he say?
He said, I'm a real genius, some genius. It don't matter,
he gone. But one of the things that I wanted to actually point
out if like if we're just going on surface, because this is really what
I wanted to discuss as I actually watched other people actually give commentary about what
happened with her and her rants and flat Earth Day and Matt Long, who's
not short to see what I did there? Um, y'all supposed to laugh,
but never mind, Um, you might offense. They didn't see it,
so it's okay, it's okay, but um. But one of the
things that I want to point out is that if you actually look up scriptures
that are supposedly to lead to a flat Earth, it really does not say
anything like that. I'm just going to point out this a few like a
couple that's in the Old Testament and a couple that's in the New First Chronicle
sixteen thirty tremble before him, all the earth, the world is firmly established.
It cannot be moved. For Samuel's second eight, he raises the pour
from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap. He seats them
with prices princess sorry, and has them inherit a throne of honor, For
the foundations of the earth are the lords on them. He has set the
world. I was also looking up specifically scripture that had to do with the
firmament, because this whole thing about the earth is under a dome, and
under that is the firmament and the waters and all that other crazy stuff.
And Genesis first Genesis Genesis one, rather six through eight. Then God said,
let there be an expanse in the midst of the war waters, and
let it separate the waters from the waters. And God made the expanse and
separated the waters which were below, and the expanse from the waters which were
above. This expanse, and it was so God called the expanse heaven,
and there was evening, and there was morning a second day, and then
I wanted to run over to our favorite book in the world, Revelations for
Obvious Reasons, Revelations seven. One. After this, I saw four angels
standing at the four corners of the Earth, holding back the four winds of
the Earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea
or any tree. I think that. But one of the things I did
not point out specifically, but I did mention this is that Job actually had
the most scriptures concerning the earth. But he never mentions globes or not globes,
or spears or not spears, or any of that. Now, even
if I flatter Job, no, no, no flatter of Davis on his
own with that one. Um. But even if I granted that the story
of Job is true, this was a man that was laid sick on the
brink of death caused by God because he and the devil were made a bet
in pain, I am pretty sure that he ended up having a hallucination or
two or three or four, because like, if you in pain like that,
you almost did and whatnot, and your flesh is eaten away you know
that I find your lack of faith disturbing you. You know I didn't tell
him stuck. Come on, come on, I'm trying to figure out where
the four corners of a circle are at. You know, well, as
as as the only math teacher in the room here, I can chip in
on this. And I have found that the geometric misconceptions in the Bible fall
well within the normal array of mistakes that people make about geometry. So so
so I think we can maybe cut them a little bit of slack. If
you've seen the thing, if you've been where I've been, seen the things
that I've seen, you'll know that, oh, that's just perfectly normal human
beings making mistakes. On that one, I just like to say really quick
Scott before because I know that you have something else that you want to chime
in on that. When i's a geometry, um, the answer to all
of the theorems, we're CPCTC oh definitely yeah part Do you remember what it
stands for? Hell no, I'm pretty sick. Congruent parts? Were congruent?
Triangles? Are congruent or no corresponding parts? That was it? Corresponding
parts? Well, we're losing our audience. So let's quick get back to
the Yes, let's get back the flatters people. Yeah, globes everywhere.
Oh well, the funny thing about that, about that quote Cynthia that you
were talking about, it is so here's what she said, and it sounds
funnier, even funnier than the way that you already presented. She said,
all the globes everywhere. Taylor said later in the discussion, I turn on
the TV. There's globes in the background. Everywhere, there's globes. You
see them all the time. It's constant. My children will be like,
Mama, globe globe, globe, globe, They're everywhere. It's like,
really, I've never noticed. You know. Maybe it's one of those things
like you know, you buy a new jeep and then you see all the
jeeps on the road. You know, maybe she's just like getting obsessed with
globes or something. But um, I just wanted to throw in though that
I um. I went, and I know I'm a glutton for punishment,
but I went. I watched more of that podcast episode I was able to
find on YouTube. I wanted to, you know, I want to give
him a fair shake. I don't want to I don't want to just you
know, go off of what Rollingstone dot Com thought was important. But um,
yeah, there was nothing more to There's nothing additional on there, although
um interestingly enough, one of her guests flat Earth Dave. He was saying
during their interview time that he came to Christianity because of his flat earth belief,
and then Matt Long, the other guy that she was interviewing, said
oh, well, I came to flat earth belief because of my Christianity.
And I thought, boy, that was just a perfect circle of reasoning there,
or maybe it was a sphere of reasoning. I don't I don't know.
If they think the Earth is flat, then maybe they think that kind
of reasoning is linear. I don't know, but it was. It was
funny. But one last thing I wanted to throw in here, and that
was I don't know if you any of you noticed this, but there was
a wonderful self burn in the article, and they were quoting Dave Weiss from
the podcast. He said, the people that defend the globe don't know anything
about the globe. If they knew a tenth of what Matt and I know
about the globe, they would be flat earthers. So what he was saying
is that if there's people that know one tenth of what he knows, those
are the people that are flat earthers, right, So ignorance leads to flat
earth belief that according to flat Earth Dave, that's the key. You know.
I was watching a YouTuber who actually who who was commenting on this specifically,
and he mentioned that specific quote from Dave. If they knew one tenth
of what they knew about the flat Earth, they would be flat earthers.
And he was like, so one tenth of that means you know absolutely nothing?
Yeah, point yeah, yeah, yeah, but go ahead, Kelly.
I did do a deep dive into it, and it turns out that
globes are the first form of AI and they are out for global domination right
there in the name you in the name there, you go take that atheist.
Yeah, man, She's well, we might as well just go ahead
and move on because obviously we don't know what the hell we're talking about.
So we put on a good show doing it. We do, especially like
you know, if everybody could, if everybody wanted to get into the dance,
we will be selling the song on our merch store globes, globe,
globes, globes, globes, everywhere. Old to Candice Taylor, No,

go one on the second, second segment, second segment sex sex number two
segment two, let's do that and tail that's you. Oh yeah, and
whenever it means here, this is no thing about It is never fun when
I'm here, and I'm sorry. Maybe you have realized that I tend to
talk about certain global mafia that protects evil criminals. Here I have a representation
of their evil overlord that so many people believe to be out safe and earth
disgusting actious that this person has committed made me very, very very angry.
But I'm not going to talk about how angry I am. I'm just going
to talk about this article that I have two thanks up news dot com plish
guys. Check this on their on the description there you can find all the
information. Once again, it's me, I guess the freaking Catholic Church or
the crimes, but it's okay. Are we surprised that they are terrible,
that they are awful? Of course not, of course not. Are we
surprised that the Catholic Church is an awful mafia that is trying to protect better
even nowadays, maybe and always surprised when they clearly when we realize that the
clergy light about the amount of abused little people that have suffered under their personnel.
Of course, we are not surprisable that because that is what this mafia
always does, and it's are surprising, it's enraging, it's awful. But
guys, what can respect from institutions? Not? And it's not only the
Catholic Church. Please go and check the abused administation coverage insurance policy that even
evangelical churches can hire nowadays. Actually, churches are nowadays the biggest danger to
children's bodies in our society, and that's why they are hiring these policies for
whenever their priests decide that they are going to use their power and have used
this the most defenseless people that sadly are forced to go and to go to
their institutions, to go under their buildings and to be well brainwashed by these
awful people. So I'm going to make me very general. I'm sure that
Kelly, you want to talk about the numbers, and I think it's good
if you tell us, because if I start talking about the numbers, it's
going to be it's going to get ugly. So Kelly, please, well,
I will mention that there were two thousand children that were not reported in
the past that this story broke about. Um. I it's hard for me
to talk about things like this because of my past. I was physically abused
as a child. I raised two kids, so when I hear about kids
getting hurt like this, it really really bothers me. I one of the
things that really bothers me about this too, is that all these priests when
they got caught, you know, you know, they all went to the
confessional. They had to say a fuel hear Hail Mary's and now they're going
to go party up and having with Jeffrey Dahmer. I find this really really
disgusting. And it's not only the church that was at fault here, but
the state of Illinois. Where was the state at? Where were these investigations?
At were the people that should have been protecting these kids because they weren't
there were the investigators? Did they just do a slack job because their Catholics?
What was going on here? I'm really really pissed off that something didn't
get done sooner or that these two thousand kids fell through the cracks when there
was an investigation. It's it's horrible, It's completely horrible and should never ever
ever have happened. Um Scott, you want to take it? Sure?
Sure, yeah, I mean we know that. You know, child abuse
is horrible, and child sexual abuse can have significant impacts on you know,
their study after study after study of long term emotional and sexual and even sometimes
even physical disabilities, and it can affect and and it's basically if you if
you abuse a child in that way, it's very much like destroying a world.
Right. It's like was at Oppenheimer that said, I am become death,
the destroyer of worlds. And so when you destroy a child's world,
a child's future, it's it's tragic, it's tragic. And what makes it
worse is that these religious leaders are set up as to be moral leaders.
And when we say moral leaders, we not only mean that they are leaders
that are expected to be moral, but that they are that they're supposed to
be leading. They're guiding their flock into how to be moral? How and
you know, these are people that are representing supposedly the you know, the
ultimate creator of the universe, the ultimate guide to morality, and you know
clearly that's not that's not working out. I don't know, Tayo, what's
your take on that's on that? Well, what Kelly said, it's totally
true. I mean they started with one hundred victims. Nowadays the two thousand.
There were one thousand, nine hundred victims that nobody knew anything about this
Authornity here um I Authornity didn't wrote, I think it's quammi role. Oh
thank you, Raoul. He had to make huge investigations. He had to
read over one hundred thousand pages and talk about several like six hundred in confidential
interactions that were not supposed to to rebroke to light and after all that huge
amount of effort, many many of the clerics who committed these awful crimes,
they are not going to be judge because time has passed. It has a
name that I had written in here, but I don't remember the name of
it. Yeah, that's thank you, Cynthia arling. Um. They are
not going to be judged because of that and some others. They were protected
by this awful mafia that I always talk about for so long that they are
they are dead. They passed away, so they were never judged and they
never had to face justice. They never had to face a legal system.
And it's extremely awful, terrible, disgusting in enraging that those people made so
much damage, they harmed there so much and nothing happened. It makes me
extremely sad on it is awful and and you know, this is kind of
crazy because this is like right in my backyard, especially like I am a
former alumni of a Catholic school. Um so a lot of these um um
So you're saying there's hope, there's hope for students in those schools, right,
Well, you know, if you didn't get abused. I mean,
but the thing about it is destroyer of world, destroyer of world. Well
that's what the Catholic Church is. We we we can go down the list
of you know, not just like protecting uh you know, pedophile or or
or even like sexual abuser. We we can go through other atrocities specifically from
the Catholic Church that has happened UM for a very very long time. I
just um was even curious to know how far back do UM sexual abuse allegations
actually go back to for the Catholic Church in UM. In one of my
UM dives, I found out that they have records of abuse going back to
sixteen twenty nine. This is before the United States was even a nation.
I think that we I think that the Jamestown was only maybe what in UM
in in service from maybe like ten years after the first Colum, after the
first allegation came out. UM. But when I when I found this this
is actually from uh don't say from them, the abuse of the Catholic Church,
from the Malie Law Firm p l LC and UM. Basically this was
for a Spanish priest named Joseph Kalon Klanza. I'm sorry, kla San.
Yes, that is correct, klassan and Um. He was actually at a
teacher that was teaching boys, poor boys, and the accusations were made by
fellow priests with concerns over in pure friendships with schoolboy and the accusations regarding father
Stephano Cherubini was the one to be investigated. However, Kyla Sons aimed to
cover up what he called this great shame so that it would not it was
not brought to the intention of his superiors. In fact, instead dealing with
the accused priest, he was actually promoted. Setting the precedent. The Catholic
Church continues to follow this practice of accusations, discovery, promotion and or shuffling
of known sexual abusers. Even had a name that translates to mean promotion for
a voidice, and that's what this was when they were talking specifically about these
these children that I believe that the records were going back to the nineteen fifties
all the way to twenty nineteen, twenty nineteen. So you have over one
hundred thousand documents from the nineteen fifties all the way to twenty nineteen, and
we know that accusations, claims, and a lot of them substantiate we're happening
before twenty nineteen, the Catholic Church was well aware of it was the Francis
Hope. Francis called himself doing an apology tour during around this time period,
still was doing one last year because we covered it, and earlier this year
when he was in Canada and other places to apologize for the atrocities that the
church was doing with leaders in the church. But it was still happening.
And I don't understand how, because Okay, let me slow down for a
moments, I can get my thoughts together. But one of the things that
really baffles me is that the church and of itself was able to be autonomous,
like semi autonomous as a diocese and an organization in order for them not
to get any type of outside law enforcement from other governments that they were they
were established. I mean, like, I can't imagine that Illinois did not
know going back this time period, or somebody that was elected they did not
know about some of these allegations that I was going back to the nineteen fifties,
I can't. I can't imagine that not happening, or if they were
in office and they knew about it. They were going to say, well,
you know, it's the Catholic Church. They need to be protective because
of a church. And I need that to stop, really, I mean,
and especially since even though we have all these documents and substantiated claims and
movies and the Washington Post and all these different stories that have come out about
this Time magazine and even other organizations that have been complicit in doing the same
thing, they are still we are still because I'm going to put us in
this too, because we're citizens, and we're citizens not only at the United
States, but citizens of the world, and we see what's going on,
and we have failed children because we didn't have enough people speaking out to governments
to say that they need to be protected. And damned them being a church,
damn them for hearing any type of edicts coming from God directly, because
the Pope supposedly has a direct line, like he's some freaking telephone company to
God that you know him and any of the people that's under him, from
cardinals to bishops to priests on down, should have protection and I and it
really pains me. And and thank you Kelly for you know sharing, I
know that you've you've you know touched on this before, and I know this
is very difficult to discuss, but you know, we thank you for your
input and insight on this, and and I'm gonna go ahead and give it
give it to you. A matter of fact, you can go ahead and
wrap us up, because I don't know how much time that we can stay
on this and not get even more and more upstact. Cynthia, I know
Scott wanted to say something quick, so I'll just try to say something really
quick. And you were right. It was a couple of things. You
were right about Illinois. Somebody should have gone after these people more aggressively sooner.
And why are we not holding the leaders of the church responsible for this
stuff? They're the ones who covered this up. It was the Catholic Church
that abuse these children, not just these individual priests, right. It was
the church that allowed it to happen. It was the church that covered it
up. It was the church to protect protected the perpetrators. It was the
church that moved them around so they can repeat the offenses. So yeah,
it was the Catholic Church that abuse these kids. And just a quick quick
note. According to Media Matters from May twenty third to May thirtieth, Fox
News devoted two hours, twelve minutes, and thirty two seconds to the backlash
against Target for supporting the LGPTQ community, and a whole twenty two seconds to
this story twenty two seconds for the whole week. Go ahead, Scott,
Well, you know, continuing on with what you were just talking about.
If we think mister Rogers, everyone seeing mister Rogers neighborhood. Maybe I'm giving
away my age here, but I watched mister Rogers all the time, and
he famously said that we should look for the helpers after a tragedy. And
so it was intended to give people hope for the future, showing us that
even when things are down, we can rely on each other, to help
each other, to protect each other. But let's not forget that that was
intended for children. He was mister Rogers dealt with children. He with his
show was for children. Everything that he did on his show and every well
really everything that he did in his life was all about helping and protecting children.
And so what's happening here is when we look for the helpers, here,
the helpers are not there. And here we're talking, you know,
I'm pointing the finger here we're talking about you Catholics. You're abandoning your children,
right, They're relying on you to give them hope. They're looking for
the helpers and you're not being there. You know, where the fuck are
you? Is what I want to know? Where? What's where is the
uproar? Like Kelly, you were just saying, the media coverage alone is
just it's it's ridiculous, and so I don't know, I don't know.
Let's let's wrap this up. Let's talk about something else, Yeah quickly before
we finished. Sorry, yeah, go ahead, stuff like what you said's
code. It always for me, it's always traumatic or awful to seeing parents
who keep being Catholic, people who keep giving money to the church. Um,
what it's wrong with them? Are they not? All those laws suites
need money? Right? The lawyers ain't going to pay themselves? Yeah?
Yeah. How can you love your religion more than safety for your children?
That that's something I would never understand that It breaks furiating, Yeah, totally,
Yeah, that's what we would have to do a whole show just on
that. How do you love your children more than? How do you love
your religion more than your children? I mean, there's there's plenty of stories
that actually amplify that. Um, you know, I knew a few stories
about like parents who would not get their children vaccinated, or even parents who
would not allow their children to be treated by doctors when they got sick because
you know, they believed that God was going to heal them and then they
died. There's even a few stories about parents actually going to jail and being
a charge for abuse because of them following whatever type of belief system that they
were following. But they felt that they were in the right when it came
to how they dealt with their children, but unfortunately it was their faith that
outweighed their love for their kids. And I have no problem saying that,
because if you love your children, like really really love them, you would
do anything that you can do within your power to make sure that they're safe
take care of. And that's discussed. That's the most disgusting thing about religion
in my view. I'm a parent too, and I can't imagine anybody holding
something some ideologies, some theology, some philosophy above their own children's Yeah,
I agree, I totally agree. I mean, like I'm a parent adjacent
and all I can think about it is like, gee, how what can
I do to take care of you know, this little one that's in front
of me, that's in my charge and right, and I think that the
best thing that I can do is to keep him away from religion. Was
one of the best things that I can do. But with that, I
know that, guys, that was really heavy. So everyone just like,
take a pause, Let's take a cleansing breath in through the nose, out
through the mouth, let us reset, and we're going to move off because
that was that was definite very So you, dear audience, if you can

TV to join all the fun, good times, y'all, good time,
and speaking of good times, I'm so excited to introduce this next segment called
what the Florida Boom Oh God nailed nailed it to the landing, you know,
stuck it like orda but actualality. Um this is not really my segment
to introduce, Like I'm introducing the interestitial, but not really the segment.
Kelly, this is you. So if we can get Kelly dig on read,
that would be great. Keep on mutine, mutin, don't stop.
No, you're still muted. I am so sorry. I'm so sorry.
You're good. I got a little upset on that last story that was the
Lord was hardening your microphone. Yeah. Um this is a story that comes
to us from Boying Boying. It was written by Carlos Sinclair and it's about
our proverbial Florida man. This one's name is Joe Penovich and he owns the
state's Grills, Seafood Deck, and Tiki bar chain. And he told Fox
News that he has never experienced a greater hardship than bud light making can with
a transwoman's picture on it and giving it to her. Now, these weren't
marketed. There was only a few of them made. I'm pretty sure they
were all given to her, to Dylan mulvaney. But this guy's a little
upset about it. Anyway, I don't quite understand why. Um, I
honestly, I think he's being going a little bit crazy. Over this one
and not he's undermining his argument. Is what I think by the stupidity,
Scott, you want to take it from here, I'm I'm still a little
upset from the left. Sure, sure, that's no problem, no problem,
you take a breath there. M Yeah, I gotta call bullshit on
this guy. I gotta call bullshit because here here's the com core of his
complaint from from the video clip. You know, Annheuser Bush, they held
a social knife over all of our heads here and they dropped it very irresponsibly.
Social knife. It threw us into turmoil, pearl clutching by standing on
our biblical faith. It puts us at odds with other people that didn't take
that stance, and that brought us into hell on Earth. So my only
conclusion is that he has no idea what hardship is. I mean, this
is a privileged man, indeed, And I you know, and I find
it hard to believe too that people are watching this right. This is a
major media outlet that they spent time of their of their day, of their
programming day to have, Hey, let's have the guy talk about hell on
Earth. And plus he was voluntarily willing to say this in front of people,
and so have people know that he was saying it. It's just it's
weird. I did find a longer clip of the interview, and because because
I wanted to figure out what exactly happened to him, And he never says
that. He never says, and he didn't say that, you know,
people were being abusive. He didn't even say that people were calling him transphobe.
Um, you know, I don't know. If you don't like people
calling you a transpobe, here's my my free advice, no additional charge here.
If you don't want people to call you a transphobe, don't be a
transphobe Simpson. It's easy enough to me. I don't know, really,
that was really profound. Ye, free charge. No national charge comes with
your membership to the ACA. You know, poor guy, probably he had.
Yeah, he had to leave this hell on earth because obviously, acknowledging
that people exist, that trans people are real, must be as painful as
being persecuted your whole life because you look different, because you are understanding who
you are, it must be terrible, as terrible as being hated, insulted
by your family, by your whole community, just because you're not straight it
must be something like that. I mean, what else could hell on earth?
Very right? I mean it's not like oh no, oh, actually
I think that I got kind of a translation of what he meant. I
have my notes in here. Yeah, I think that I try to rephrase
what he said. It's something like, no, it cannot discriminate freely.
And I've been forced to admit that not how to rock sexual people excise.
I cannot give this grimy night thing like this. Why are they doing this
to me? It was something they like. I think you nailed it.
I think you nailed it there, nailed it, nailed it right on the
right right. Well as you say, I have a duck in here,
Kelly, can you explain the ducks please? That's the bigotree duck. Bigo
tree. Duck calls out all bigger tree as soon as it heard he.
You know, he was just saying, this is just one more big at
hiding behind his religion too that you know, he keeps telling me this and
it is ridiculous. I I yes, I just said it was ridiculous.
Yes, yes, yes, I don't know how he can expect any duck
to take him seriously. I already said that I did say, people,
you're right, But if he were, like, if he actually treated his
listener to people listening to him as if they understood middle school math, he
would probably get more respect from people, and they might take him a little
more seriously. You know. I mean, I think the duck is a
good point there. It is such an obviously bad argument that there's no way
to take him seriously. Is there really the guy who appears to be about
my age? Surely he has had friends or family die, and it's he
diminishing those people's death by saying this beer can has affected him worse in his
life. That's just crazy, you know, guys, I just have to
say it, as the only non white person on this panel to be a
sistant or a white man in America who owns the state's grill seafood deck in
Tiquy partrain chain rather to call beer can endorse by a transgender influencer hell on
Earth. Wow, must be nice. I know not this life, I
know not any of this to say that that specifically is hell on Earth?
That right there? For me to be assistant or white man in America with
several business not just one. He remember, he got a whole chain of
um so he making some scrilla, as as my as my people in the
around these communities will say he making some scrilla, and he is calling the
few cans that Dylan mulviny had on her table when she chimed in during the
Super Bowl. Because we actually covered this story previously that specifically was hell on
Earth. The privilege of it all must be nice. God damn it,
I tell you, you know, so Joe old Joe, Joe, you
know, I don't know if Joe knows, you know, like Boe knows,
but I don't know Joe knows that the reason why Dylan was picked to
be a spokesperson was because Dylan has over ten million followers on social and and
since you when you have that type of platform and you want to actually make
your product marketed to a wider audience, you will choose people or you know,
maybe knock or tap somebody on the shoulder who has that type of platform
that may not necessarily be hetero normative in the United States or in the world
or whatever you know it, you know, through something like that, just
saying like I'm pretty sure that if I was an avid beer drinker and I'm
not, but I had over ten million, twelve million whatever followers that you
know, just really like me singing step in the right direction. I'm pretty
sure somebody is going to tap, tap tap on my shoulder and say,
could you please endorse my product? I mean, I don't even have that
many followers on Instagram, and I got folk DM and me about their little,
you know, funky businesses all the time, saying can you just post
this stuff on your Instagram? I'm like, no, who are you?
Hell on Earth? I know, I mean yes, obviously there was demons
and five and pitchforks coming out of the Earth's cross and you know, and
just making everybody go ah, like you know, like the segment interstitial.
So that's the reason why we did that, because obviously this happened. So
again, take that atheist, Take that atheist, boom boom, Scott.
You do ever have something else that you would I do. I do have
something else, Believe it or not. Um, this is really kind of
a one note story. I mean, this guy says something ridiculous on TV
and makes a fool of himself kind of a thing. But I want,
I was curious as to why would somebody do that Why would somebody do that?
My first thought was virtue signaling. Right, he's standing up for the
Lord and he's, uh, he's weathering the storm of persecution that's raining down
on him like hell fire on the standard. I don't know what however that
goes. But but then I thought, but isn't that really anti Christian?
Right? Didn't Jesus talk about that kind of stuff about virtue signaling? Isn't
isn't virtue signaling supposed to be a bad thing? I mean, if we
look at the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, right, the
Pharisee stands up there and he's like praying in front of people, acting all
pious and being you know, visible. And then but the tax collector,
who was supposed to be you know, the shifty guy. You know,
he's in it. He's the greedy, in it for the money. He's
not really pious, but he's praying off in the corner. And then Jesus
says, and allegedly in the story, yeah, for all those who exalt
themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. And
so, you know, getting up on national TV and taking the hit for
Jesus, I don't know. That didn't hold a lot of water. So
I was curious, what maybe from business perspective, maybe it's a business decision.
And so I actually found I actually found Sorry, what was that,
Cynthia, or I was just going to say that it could be something else
that you said that it is easier. Let's hear it. It is easier
for a camel to go through an eye of a needle than for a rich
man to get into heaven. So because obviously, like when what I mentioned
previously, Joe, Joe, no scrilla, Okay, you know, so
maybe this virtual signaling could be, hey, trying to get it in with
the big guy. Make sure you got them, you know, mom manson
in heaven ready for me. I don't know that story was be a camel,
that was the more of it. Just be a camel. Yeah,
and you could be trying to purposely make himself go bankrupt to get into heaven
too, right, that could be that could be maybe Cynthia was onto something
with the whole camel and the needle thing. But but I did I did
want to look up what actual, what actual business or related organizations would say,
and I found two opposing articles, and I just want to do one
quote from each of them. So this first one was from the Harvard Business
Review, and they think there can be situations where companies should take a stance
on social issue. Okay, and so so this man is representing his company,
he's representing his business, and so maybe it was a business decision.
The Harvard Business Review thinks that it could happen. Here's what they say,
and I'm paraphrasing here. They ask three questions, does it a lot?
Does the issue align with your company's strategy? Can you meaningfully influence the issue?
And will your constituencies agree with speaking out? So if the answers to
those three questions nudge you towards speaking out, then it's a good decision to
do that. So whether I don't know, maybe he thought that people would
rally behind him, and well, obviously at least some of them are,
at least FoxBusiness dot com is doing that, and so maybe he thought it
would be a good business strategy because maybe he reads the Harvard Business Review.
On the flip side of the coin, The Hill dot Com, in an
opinion piece said companies can do more social good by not taking a stance on
divisive issues. Instead, they should foster a healthy dialogue on issues among their
employees. And potentially there are other constituents such as consumer Given that many people
generally trust the companies they work for more than they trust other institutions, businesses
are in a unique position to encourage balance debates on contentious issues in a way
that both sides can trust. So on one hand, they're saying, um,
it would make good business, Uh, you know, a good business
decision to do this kind of thing, because then it's going to rally your
your supporters and it's gonna create you know, it's going to create unity within
your within your employee base, and you can move forward from there. But
on the other side, you know, there are other experts that are saying,
well, and and to me all fairness, to me, the second
one seems like it's the more enlightened perspective here. And what they're saying is
that if you do that kind of thing, then you are gonna you're gonna
unify your employee base, but you're also gonna take away diversity. And um,
and I think we can all agree here that having diversity ensures that many
different perspectives can be represented that real solutions come. And I love this quote
from Thomas h or um Hume. It was for some reason his first name
was Blanking, but from hum he says, um, truth springs from argument
among friends, and so so if we have a good diverse base of opinions,
then we can we can get that going. I'm during the fumble here,
so I passed off to the TAO before I start blue. Well,
I did want to just make a quick comment and then tell y'all would love
you to wrap us up. Maybe he was actually signaling to his to his
customers that only transphobic people go to the State's grills, seafood deck and tiki
bar. Jay to just transphob to people. So if they transphobic, you
good gone eat your seafood at the tiki bar and have a drink on one,
yes, one of the well biggotry duck, because obviously Biggert you duck
got all the squirrel up. You know, of course, all of it
every time he's on screen. There's another point two cents point two cents your
place get drunk while you wear your cross that represents Jesus and your red hat
and stuff like that. I you know what. People like this guy,
Um, they not only they make me sick, but I see them as
victims of a system that has failed them. They are the perfect example of
why misinformation and ignorance are so harmful. They are the perfect example of somebody
who is so privileged that acknowledging that non strict people are real is causing him
big distress. Dude, do you want to live in a house without running
water and electricity? Let's see what on Earth is for you after that?
And I guess this is this, This is the reason why I just fight
misinformation and in rance in every single show that I can. And I think
that we have to make us make our society a better place. We have
to educate people so we have less mister oh yeah, realizing that other people
are really scalum earth. We need less people like him in the planet.
We need more education, We need less Joe. Because Joe don't know.
But I do know something. One of the things that I do know is
that you, dear listener and dear watcher, can become a member of the
Channel for as little as ninety nine cents a month. That's right on a
nine and nine sense or a month, So click the joint button below the
video, and this will give you access to special chat emojis. I heard
those are a thing, and also apparently I was told by our most benevolent
overlord, Hail Satan that we have a store, if I know, if
y'all knew that, So if you didn't know, now you know. So
you can actually visit tiny dot c slash merch Acas tiny dot c slash merch

merch from all other shows. Yes, folks, by our shit. It
is quality shit, Okay, if quality can be shit, that's what this
is. Now. One of one of the quality things that you can actually
purchase is this month's Church in Review. It is the Bible Old point or
zero point five stars, and it says badly translated from writings by multiple authors,
not arthurs, but authors references to murder, corruption, bestiality, and
incests, endorses misogyny, racism, savory genocide, infanticide, infanticide and violence,
and consider it's by proponents as the source of morality, even though most
have never read the whole book. As a rich britch one would say Christian's
regional fucking Bible. I wished I had a really good Liverpool accit for that.
But you know, just you know, pretend like I'm a beat or
something else. Well, let's go ahead and get to last segment. And
I'm sorry, guys, I didn't read that whole Bible being you know,
properly. But we're behind you here. Yeah, I mean about to say
nobody reads the Bible correct. Okay, I'm I'm in the phrase with everybody
else. Um, But we're gonna go ahead and just get to our last
segment, guys. And this is a step in the right direction. Step
in the right direction. Yeah, step in the right direction with step step
stepping in the right direction. Yeah. And this story is entitled thank you.
I'd rather die than call her a hill. Christian teacher band from Teaching
for miss gendering trans people says he feels no remorse as he slams lack of
training over transgender issues in schools. This is from the Daily Mail and also
comes up with a companion article band Christian teacher who misgenders pupil says schools should
not affirm trans pronouns and plots appeal Leading Britain's Conversation by Will Taylor. So
basically we have a story coming from the Daily Mail and the companion story from
the Leading Britain Conversation or the LBC. And no I'm not talking about a
Snoop Dogg song. It's just like Compton. The story is about a Christian
UK teacher named Joshua Sutcliff and that miss gendered a student in his class.
According to the LBC, Sutcliff has admitted he did not use their preferred pronouns
when he was told a math class well done girl, but said that was
not intentional and then apologized straight away. But in the Daily Mail he said
to the Telegraph, well, I'm sorry, but that's the Christian position.
I wasn't going to say I'm going to along with this. I'd rather die,
to be honest. Obviously that's quite extreme, but that's how I feel.
So this lets me know that the supposed apology was a hunkle bullshit.
So who wants to go ahead and take it first, Kelly, I think
that you have some thoughts from this particulars. I do. So we got
one biggot going from helen or to another biggot doing thoughts of self annihilation,
right, nihilism all the way, and it's just one more undermining my argument
with stupidity to me? And does he really think and this guy as a
teacher, remember that, does he really think that we believe he would rather
die than you someone's pronoun that he disagrees with hyperbo. I think we should
put him to the test. I don't think we should kill him, but
I'd like to see I'd like to see it the threat be put there,
and then see what judgment he makes at that point, because I don't think
he'd preferred that over the using a pronoun. I think he's being very very
dis And do you want to check to see if he has the faith of
Abraham? Yes, right, exactly, that's exactly. No, not you
again, ESBD. They do have bigots over in England. No, I'm
not going to pay pay to take a cruise over there. You're afraid of
flicking out of here? You're not afraid of flying. Let me finish the
show entitled Oh yeah, annoy me. Yeah, he's calling, and he's
calling for training and guidance for interaction with trance students, or so he says
in one breath, and then in the next breath he says, he's immutable
on his ideas of gender anyway, So any amount of training isn't going to
make this man change his mind or his behavior. I don't understand why he
thinks that calling for training is going to make a difference. What do you
think, Tao? Oh? Well, yeah, actually, really, I
actually agree with you. I think that he was being totally dishonest. And
I want you to mention the Bible again because it's so funny how they how
Christians seem to think seemed to take their Bible as if it was a fake,
because they always say, oh, yeah, we're superior because we follow
the ten commandments, do not lie. And then we have all this type
of Christians saying, oh no, I'm totally being discriminated. Why sir,
why are you being discriminated because they won't let me bully this kid? Oh
no, no, no, I'm not bullying. It's just that they never
told me what I should do. And then and that's why I preferred to
die before accepting that this child is us a hero. I think it was
a here, So I prefer to die before calling this child a he.
And what'st of all, I'm sure that this guy is going to try to,
you know, play the victim card. Oh no, I'm being persecuted
by my I believes, instead of accepting, Oh yeah, it's a freaking
adult who should know better, who's working with children, who's actually pulling a
child? Disgusting type discusting diaphons. I agree with with the bigotry dog that
Kelly hiding there, I wouldn't mind as well. So yeah, well,
before I say anything, full disclosure here, I'm a teacher at a public
college and a union member, so I recognize that I may be biased in
favor of my fellow teacher here. No, No, that's okay, I'm
about to say, but I gotta callege. I gotta check myself right,
and I gotta check myself before I get into it here. So, having
said that, I wanted to compare this situation with the situation we were talking
about earlier with the Catholic church in UH in Chicago. Right, So in
that previous section at the end, I was talking about mister Rogers and we're
looking for where's the helpers? Right, And we were all angered greatly that
the adults would just stand around and look the other way while these horrible things
are happening. Right, the people in charge of caring for these vulnerable,
these other vulnerable human beings, we're dropping the ball big time. And so
in that case, the response was way too little, way too late,
and an underreaction. Now let's compare that to what we're looking at here.
So we have the British government, the school district or whatever was taking action
here. So in this case we appear to have a different response. It's
important that we keep in mind that we don't have all the facts here,
so we want to make sure but based off of the facts that we've seen,
it was an appropriate response. It was I think the response to the
school was direct and thoughtful, and appropriate and measured, and most importantly,
it was enacted with the best interest of the children in mind. They said
that multiple times throughout the article that they were that they were trying to give
a measured response, give an appropriate response, and one that protected the children
first. So Catholic Church please pay attention. This is how you do it.
This is how you do it, right man. I was so about
to start singing, but I just a piggyback off of what you said,
Scott at an actuality, the thirty three year old teacher at the Churwell School
and Oxford failed to treat a pupil with dignity and respect. So the Teacher
Regulation Authority, that is their ruling body that I guess that's just an equivalent
of a board of an education in that particular area found in a case considered
the first of its kind. It also ruled that he did not protect their
well being and he did not use their pronoun and the body added was more
probable than not that he referred to the pupil using female pronouns on other occasions
during his tenure at the school between two thousand and fifteen and two thousand and
eighteen. And then it goes on to say that mister Sutcliffe was also found
to have committed misconduct for expressing his opposition to gay marriage after a pupil asked
him about it and did not consider the possible impact of a statement that being
gay was wrong. So you know, he basically engaged in his typical apologetics.
According to fundamentalist Christian worldview, that asked about the t r a's finding,
and he was and he actually made remarks about being opposed to sexual homosexuality.
He actually said that I had a gay friend. You know, it's
kind of like up there, you know, like you know I had a
gay friend. I got that black friend, right, you know, yeah,
I had a gay friend too. Yeah. I guess what I had
black friend, a gay friend, and they black gay friend. I got
several black gay friends, black trans friends. You know, I have a
bigger friend, right, Well, you gotta what you got. But but
one of the things that he said, see, like first he's like,
well you know that gay friend. I had checked this out. Guys.
He said, um, my gay friend left the gay lifestyle and decided to
of a Christian lifestyle. And the students found out about bet and I don't
regret sharing this information. So not only are you mis gendering people, you're
not using their pronouns correctly. You are not you are you are not actually
being that helper that Scott talked about. When you're gay student came to and
asked you, like an actual question about gay marriage, then you had the
nerve to push us. I need to cross myself real quick. We call
that a pattern of a pattern of behavior. Yes you, but you're but
he's he's pushing. Also conversion therapy, right, oh yeah, well that's
right. But the crazy thing about it, and this is this is the
scary part about you actually being a teacher of children and not knowing the statistics
when it comes to conversion therapy actually being more harmful than helpful to people who
actually go through it. There's tons, tons of studies on that. That's
because faith is more important than facts. See faith over faith over facts.
I see, that's what we're doing. I see, that's exactly what they're
doing. But you know, but one of the things that I will say
specifically is to step in the right direction, is that at least you have
an educational oversight board the tra specifically that recognize the harm that this teacher was
involved in and made his butt band so that he cannot teach in the UK
again. Now, mister Cucliffe, I'm about to tell you right now,
don't bring your ass over here, don't come over across the pond, don't
don't do that. Stay your ass where you at, And it might be
welcome in Florida. I was in Alabama and he did a job as a
head teacher. But I just want to slip in here real quick here,
Cynthia, you were just talking about how the you know, the that they
were taking action, right, and so the the tra right this teacher what
was it, the teacher the teaching regulation of teaching regulars. Yeah, so
they did this knowing that there was going to be pushed back, knowing that
there was going to be a bad press, knowing that there that this was
going to happen. So I think that makes it all the more admirable.
Yeah, that's true. And even if you do come to Florida, mister
Sutcliffe, I'm about to tell um, uh, the Santists don't don't get
that man, No damn job, don't don't you do it. We're gonna
come down and find you. Put Helen on the job. Then we'll get
Helen Green. Now, we'll get Helen there. We'll put her on it.
The Santists wouldn't welcome him to Florida because he'd be an immigrant, right
this is but hold on, hold on, he will be the right kind
of immigrant, you know, you know, I mean that's that's a whole
another show too. But you know, mainly and we have precedence in history.
If you're the right kind of immigrant United States, they got no problem
with you. Okay, we go ahead and close us out, so we
can go ahead and close out the show. I will close us out,
I thankfully, while we still have to contend with people like Florida Man and
mister immutable. Here, we are making a out a headway against the sheer
bigotry left in the world. And it makes me proud that, first off,
that tra stood up to this man and did what they were supposed to
do. And I'm really proud that I belong to a group of people that
really cares, supports, stands up and speaks out for marginalized people as much
as the people around me do, and the people here on this panel too.
We should all all of us around the world stand up support these groups,
because in the end, atheists are a marginalized group too, and by
lending our support to others causes, we gained their support as well. I'd
rather walk through the darkness watching someone's back while someone watches mine, rather than
walk alone. You don't need to be super to be a hero. That
was beautiful, Kelly, and I almost started singing again, but I'm not
gonna do that. I'm just gonna I'm just gonna do my final announcement.
You say that like you're not trying to get us to beg you to sing,
Cynthia, please please sing. No, it's not that we know we
no, no, no no. I'm you know. As soon as you
started talking like your last point, especially about not walking alone, and I
just took me back to my my A choir days. You all know that
song. But I'm but but we wanted to stay monetized, so I will
not see That's what I'm saying. Less, I can actually make up a
song on the spot about not walking alone, which I'm not that creative.
So I'm just gonna go ahead and go to the final announcements, which are
