Speaker 1: Hello, this is the Harboring Light. I'm Mary. I give
Speaker 1: a conservative perspective about the world around me. Feedback is
Speaker 1: immensely important. Feel free to reach out to me. Two
Speaker 1: ways to do this is, of course, through email. And
Speaker 1: then again, YouTube. All right. So, word of mouth really helps. So,
Speaker 1: keep that up. And, you know, if y'all spread the word.
Speaker 1: I appreciate all the listeners out there. Thank you so much. And,
Speaker 1: you know, somebody that would be interested in my content,
Speaker 1: let them know about the Harboring Light. Okay, so since
Speaker 1: it's Friday, focusing on current events. So I'm going to
Speaker 1: get right into it. Here we go. Okay, so I
Speaker 1: am going to focus on Lindsay Clancy. All right. I
Speaker 1: think it is upsetting that we live in a time
Speaker 1: in which Murder is justified, or smurder, as they, you know,
Speaker 1: which I will express again. That's why it's important to have,
Speaker 1: you know, when you create content, to put it, have
Speaker 1: it on different platforms. It just does not make any
Speaker 1: sense when there is content that is specifically for adults
Speaker 1: to commentary, and you can't just speak like an adult,
Speaker 1: you know. Okay, here, what, yeah, you don't, what, what
Speaker 1: is that? And so that leads into a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1: With things like social media, platforms like that, where it's
Speaker 1: encouraged to be delusional and it's encouraged to be in
Speaker 1: your own mind all the time and not actually... Have empathy.
Speaker 1: Just to be some vapid... You know... A vapid person
Speaker 1: is not really a person. It's just some kind of.
Speaker 1: Thing that's there. And... You know.
Speaker 1: Sean had... She went... She... It was really interesting. Because I...
Speaker 1: You know... I really... appreciate you know people who have
Speaker 1: nuanced even though they uh they might have favor more
Speaker 1: um from different political perspectives where it'd be democratic perspective
Speaker 1: uh you know libertarian was what so have you that
Speaker 1: it's really encouraging and it's important to promote help and
Speaker 1: protect people who have that idea that of in order
Speaker 1: to live civilly and your country wherever you right live
Speaker 1: or wherever you are you have to understand that it's
Speaker 1: important to see things from all different types of perspective
Speaker 1: and to have respect for that for one right now
Speaker 1: lindsey clancy there's no reason in the world that she
Speaker 1: had should have any sympathy you know there was no
Speaker 1: sympathy when she was taking the lives of these sweet
Speaker 1: babies or sweet innocent babies there was no there was
Speaker 1: no there was no empathy for that there was no
Speaker 1: empathy and there it just it's it boggles the mind
Speaker 1: there's no empathy for the father either and they try
Speaker 1: to pinpoint on you know all these bat bat uh
Speaker 1: banshee women out here saying oh you know justice for
Speaker 1: lindsey clancy this this this what about justice for those
Speaker 1: children justice for the father and mind you What she
Speaker 1: did did not happen recently. This happened, you know, from
Speaker 1: what I understand, all the way back in 2023. And,
Speaker 1: you know, people are, you know.
Speaker 1: This man is trying to pick up the pieces. You know,
Speaker 1: he is trying to find... and hold on to some
Speaker 1: solace for himself and for the rest of the people
Speaker 1: in his family. And so it's understood that these precious
Speaker 1: lives were not in vain. And see, that's what is
Speaker 1: going to be very prevalent in what... Hold on. Now,
Speaker 1: let me double check this here. Because I don't, just
Speaker 1: a minute, just a minute. Let me look, let me look,
Speaker 1: let me look.
Speaker 2: Okay. Hold on, let me do this.
Speaker 1: Just a second here. Alright, just a second here. So
Speaker 1: now they're saying... Now.
Speaker 1: Take this with a grain of salt. Now, see, it's
Speaker 1: still deadlocked, mistrial. I don't know what's going on. Because
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. I mean... Now.
Speaker 1: From what I understand, it's more women that are on
Speaker 1: the trial, the Clancy trial versus men. And so they're
Speaker 1: trying to push this whole narrative of postpartum depression, right?
Speaker 3: Which.
Speaker 1: I don't really see that as... I have feasible defense. Like,
Speaker 1: you know, well, it goes, I don't know. I absolutely
Speaker 1: agree with what Sean had, what she was saying. It's
Speaker 1: like this chicken and egg thing here. It just goes together. Like,
Speaker 1: you know, a normal person isn't going to kill, right?
Speaker 1: You've got to be insane. So, I don't know. It's
Speaker 1: just you cannot have... You can't have sympathy when it
Speaker 1: comes to this. And this is what needs to be understood.
Speaker 1: And so, there's that. And it's unfortunate that TikTok in
Speaker 1: itself promotes irrational behavior to where you know if somebody
Speaker 1: says oh um which it used to be laughed about
Speaker 1: uh mocks where for instance where with uh um this
Speaker 1: whole thing um you know having a message board or
Speaker 1: you know wishing uh things into fulfillment all i have
Speaker 1: to do is just wish and dream and it it
Speaker 1: will be true and Now, you know, it's being promoted
Speaker 1: now more so in mainstream that merit doesn't really count
Speaker 1: that much. You know, your self-reflection, all of that, that
Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything, you know. What do you wish into fulfillment, right?
Speaker 1: And then there you go. And this whole thing, this
Speaker 1: is something that should be seen as to ostracize somebody
Speaker 1: and to be seen as a stigma. It shouldn't be
Speaker 1: promoted now that it's just this grueling thing of parenthood
Speaker 1: or to be a mother is just a thankless job
Speaker 1: or whatever. It's actually an honor and it should be
Speaker 1: revered and respected. And I think if, you know, this
Speaker 1: notion would be put back into culture now, where it
Speaker 1: would be so many different... Just the whole sanctity of
Speaker 1: marriage and parenthood would not be something that would be
Speaker 1: seen as some kind of freak show, which it shouldn't be.
Speaker 1: Because if you do not... which a lot of people
Speaker 1: do not understand this, that if you do not protect
Speaker 1: the aspects of the nuclear family and the extended family
Speaker 1: and how important that is to culture, you don't have
Speaker 1: a strong foundation to pass down to other generations and
Speaker 1: everything just crumbles and whatever can just come in and
Speaker 1: deconstruct and it's just a free-for-all. I mean, there's nothing
Speaker 1: there to pass down. and our hearts of hearts you
Speaker 1: don't really want to live in society like that because
Speaker 1: if you do you know people will give in to
Speaker 1: you know hey, you know, the worst indulgences that would
Speaker 1: be promoting them. People that do, that have to, that
Speaker 1: don't believe in all these things or have to, it's
Speaker 1: just flee and be living in exile and all this
Speaker 1: kind of insanity. And, you know, what kind of life
Speaker 1: is that? It's not a life. And then you get
Speaker 1: into the aspect of, you know, living into a dystopian
Speaker 1: reality is really something that could happen. And, you know,
Speaker 1: when you think dystopian, there's something where you think about,
Speaker 1: you know, this whole thing where zombies are going about
Speaker 1: and all this kind of, you know, macabre sort of thing.
Speaker 1: But in actuality, dystopian would be more where we annihilate
Speaker 1: and destroy, you know, The cultural war. And, you know,
Speaker 1: that's what's really at stake here. The cultural war and
Speaker 1: protecting that, right? When it comes to Lindsay Clancy. And,
Speaker 1: I don't know. We have to take this into deep
Speaker 1: consideration about this. Now, I remember when the Andrea Yates
Speaker 1: trial went on. I was about 12 or 13 at
Speaker 1: the time when that was happening. and I was, she
Speaker 1: was actually suffering from postpartum depression, but the difference is
Speaker 1: that she said that she does deserve to be punished, versus, oh, well,
Speaker 1: you know, this woman saying, well, you know, I'm suffering
Speaker 1: for this, when she had so many, her husband supported her,
Speaker 1: her extended family supported her, you know, she lied, and
Speaker 1: she said all these things, and these are the things
Speaker 1: that need to be pinpointed and looked at now they
Speaker 1: asked and they said well from what I understand they
Speaker 1: asked her specific questions to understand her state of mind
Speaker 1: as she was as she if this was a lucid
Speaker 1: decision and if this was morally wrong to do she
Speaker 1: because she understood that what her that it was an
Speaker 1: attempt that she actually wanted to take their lives she
Speaker 1: knew what she was doing and she knew it was
Speaker 1: a sin and you know when we uh think about
Speaker 1: the i don't know i think she's a catholic or
Speaker 1: something and um was asked uh do you think it's
Speaker 1: a sin for this or and then was a sin
Speaker 1: to take her own life she said yes now she
Speaker 1: knew that she knew it was wrong what she was
Speaker 1: doing by taking the lives of her child And what
Speaker 1: is it, too, that this is perpetuated a lot in
Speaker 1: our society? And that's something that should be, you know, rethought,
Speaker 1: reprocessed about the double standard. That happens a lot in
Speaker 1: our culture, especially in American culture. where men are upheld
Speaker 1: to one standard and women aren't. Now, when women, most
Speaker 1: of the time, now this doesn't always happen, but most
Speaker 1: of the time, they're not held to the same standard
Speaker 1: of accountability as a man would be. Like, hang him,
Speaker 1: let's get him, if it was a man who killed,
Speaker 1: His kids, I mean, there's no question. Just get rid
Speaker 1: of them. That's it. But this whole thing where she's
Speaker 1: a victim of her circumstances, that's just perpetuated, right? And
Speaker 1: this is something that needs to be looked at and
Speaker 1: thought about. and have honest conversations when it comes to
Speaker 1: these problems in our society. Because if we don't, you know,
Speaker 1: for instance, so when I was growing up, I always,
Speaker 1: you know, unfortunately, now this isn't just a thing where
Speaker 1: it's in, uh, you know, I happen to be African American, right?
Speaker 1: Now this isn't a thing just, you know, from the
Speaker 1: African American experience. It just seems like it was just
Speaker 1: all pushed around where, oh, men are the enemy, right?
Speaker 1: And I never had that perspective, even though I would
Speaker 1: have every right to be when, you know, personally, um,
Speaker 1: I didn't have good male roles in my life, but
Speaker 1: I held on to hope, and I knew that if
Speaker 1: I had the disposition in my mind that it's very
Speaker 1: important for me to have a good attitude when it
Speaker 1: comes to relationships and to want to fall in love,
Speaker 1: me in love with someone that really cares for me
Speaker 1: and respects me and has.
Speaker 1: Has a really good work ethic and we both understand
Speaker 1: that it takes it's a partnership and it takes a
Speaker 1: lot of work to be in a relationship and you
Speaker 1: grow from your mistakes and you move on and and
Speaker 1: all all what should be the common denominator and the
Speaker 1: factor of of a loving relationship is respect then i'm
Speaker 1: good i'm golden right but um you know so i
Speaker 1: held on to that and then i even um took
Speaker 1: the point of saying, well, you know what? I'm not
Speaker 1: finding what I'm looking for, so I need to move.
Speaker 1: And as soon as I did that, I tell you,
Speaker 1: it was God sent. My husband came to me. I
Speaker 1: found my husband, and, hey, we've been together for almost
Speaker 1: 10 years now. So, you know, there's something to be
Speaker 1: said about that. And so when you have this disposition where, oh,
Speaker 1: men are trash, men are no good, a woman can
Speaker 1: never do any wrong, That's very destructive. And that's fundamentally
Speaker 1: what should be looked at here. And this leads into
Speaker 1: this asinine perspective about feminism. And that's why I will
Speaker 1: say wholeheartedly, feminism is nothing but destruction. Because at the
Speaker 1: heart of it, feminism is all about... Control and looking
Speaker 1: down on something. It's not about uplifting anything, right? Now,
Speaker 1: there's one, and then, you know, this whole idea about, oh,
Speaker 1: your life doesn't, you know, you have to, you don't,
Speaker 1: you have to stop your life when you have children.
Speaker 1: I would say you don't have a life, your life
Speaker 1: doesn't begin until you start having children, you have, you
Speaker 1: get married, that's when your life starts. Because I say
Speaker 1: these things because when, and that's the disposition about why
Speaker 1: most people, especially, well, unfortunately, women initiate their aspects of
Speaker 1: divorce and all these kind of things. It takes a very,
Speaker 1: it's a very selfish and caring act to want to
Speaker 1: love someone outside of yourself. And if you fundamentally don't
Speaker 1: have that ingrained and understood in your mind, you are.
Speaker 1: That's why there's so much chaos now. Because there's so
Speaker 1: many people who that's just catered as that's normal to
Speaker 1: have very selfish attitudes when it comes to decisions. But
Speaker 1: also at the same time, you know, like that addict says...
Speaker 1: To know oneself is truly divine. You know, if you
Speaker 1: know that you're a selfish piece of nothing, you should not,
Speaker 1: you know, be that good on you not to want
Speaker 1: to have a family. But, you know, it's just these
Speaker 1: things need to be looked at and understood when it
Speaker 1: comes to these Lindsay Clancy and just the unspeakable act
Speaker 1: that she done, that she has done, and it's just,
Speaker 1: and then even with this, um, um, actress, Leah, uh, uh,
Speaker 1: Leah something, um, I'm trying to think about her name,
Speaker 1: because she was at, um, uh, Big Lips, uh, see, um, uh, Leah, uh,
Speaker 1: Let's see. Because she was in Celebrity Apprentice.
Speaker 2: Hold on just a minute.
Speaker 3: Um, uh, just a minute, let me see, okay, let
Speaker 3: me see.
Speaker 1: Ah, I'm trying to look for her name, huh, where
Speaker 1: is her name, anyway, um, well, I know it starts
Speaker 1: with Leah, and she was on the season where, um,
Speaker 1: Gary Busey was on there, and she was on another season.
Speaker 1: But anyway, you know, she was saying these horrible things
Speaker 1: about that it's, you know, that it's women are so
Speaker 1: oppressed and it's hard being a mother and, you know,
Speaker 1: supporting her. And then when she got a clap back,
Speaker 1: she's like, well, you don't. I was speaking to my therapist,
Speaker 1: and I know he did it, right? And this is
Speaker 1: all bull crap with this true crime stuff. Like, this
Speaker 1: stuff started out, you know, I remember when, what's that show?
Speaker 2: Oh, gosh.
Speaker 1: It came on CBS, right? Hold on. Hold on just
Speaker 1: a minute. 40 hours, all right? Start with that junk,
Speaker 1: and then here we go with these podcasts. They think
Speaker 1: that that's normal. That's just normal. These shows present justice
Speaker 1: and crime as if it's some kind of.
Speaker 1: Scripted role like it's like um and the worst is
Speaker 1: the uh special victims unit and um in law and
Speaker 1: order right all these things when they were coming out
Speaker 1: and being more gaining more and more popularity you know
Speaker 1: people actually thought oh well i can i know i
Speaker 1: i can see um i can be a sleuth i
Speaker 1: can do this and we gotta stop this you know
Speaker 1: it's just insanity and when you have that I can't
Speaker 1: stress it enough. When you don't have someone to rein
Speaker 1: you in or tell you the truth or actually say, well,
Speaker 1: you know, I ground you, or you don't have that
Speaker 1: kind of grounded mentality yourself, rooting for somebody like Lindsey
Speaker 1: Clancy becomes normalized. That's something to think. These are my
Speaker 1: mere thoughts for this week. So if you want to
Speaker 1: extend the conversation, please feel free to. All right, you
Speaker 1: can do this two ways, either through email or YouTube. Okay,
Speaker 1: so this reaches the end. So tune in, turn up,
Speaker 1: and definitely take care. All right, bye-bye for now.
