1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: In the history of social contagions. The one we're going 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,559 to talk about today is the one I want to 3 00:00:06,599 --> 00:00:11,720 deal with most carefully, the transit of kids that came 4 00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:16,480 about really, really cleverly. In the background, there was such 5 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:21,120 a massive effort the Thomas Reuters Foundation, as I've mentioned, 6 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,679 one of the world's biggest law firms, the human rights 7 00:00:24,719 --> 00:00:31,079 campaign media figures. They behind the scenes built a legal 8 00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:36,320 media and so called moral infrastructure for this, all behind 9 00:00:36,359 --> 00:00:39,719 the scenes of voters going to human rights commissions and 10 00:00:39,799 --> 00:00:43,439 states and building up partnerships to test this stuff out 11 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,600 with the y w c A in places like that, 12 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,359 to let men begin going and showering with women so 13 00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:50,600 they could come along and say, oh, this has always happened. 14 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,679 And then the social influencing man it was going on 15 00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:02,320 a long time. Netflix to the culture music, they started 16 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,319 to promote a lot of artists who were supposedly trans 17 00:01:06,239 --> 00:01:08,200 and then doing this in the schools. It was such 18 00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:16,239 such a smart move. And praise God, he's revealed us 19 00:01:16,239 --> 00:01:19,079 to a lot of us. Now, this this social contagent 20 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:20,680 we're going to talk about today. I want to be very, 21 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,840 very careful because there's a lot of sioping going on 22 00:01:25,599 --> 00:01:27,959 right now. In the world of the Christian faith. There 23 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,599 are fake churches. There are heretical churches that you paid 24 00:01:32,599 --> 00:01:36,040 to one hundred percent of their operating budgets to usai D. 25 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,519 But something's going on with Catholic churches and young people. 26 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,120 And I want to be careful here because I don't 27 00:01:45,159 --> 00:01:49,359 want to do what's called quenching the spirit, which is 28 00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:52,519 to pour water upon the work of the Holy Spirit, 29 00:01:52,719 --> 00:01:55,519 to quench the spirit, to put the spirit out. And 30 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,280 if the Holy Spirit's at play, okay, But man, I 31 00:01:59,319 --> 00:02:01,959 see a massive social contagion. And this would be so 32 00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:07,200 like Satan to take something that's very good and just 33 00:02:07,319 --> 00:02:10,439 twist it just a tiny little bit to the point 34 00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:14,680 where it is very bad. So I think Satan celebrates 35 00:02:14,719 --> 00:02:18,680 these Catholics for Click's influencers. We'll talk about this all 36 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,000 with the help of God Almighty. 37 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,719 Speaker 2: The Todd Herman Show is one hundred percent disapproved by 38 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:33,879 big pharma technocrats and tyrants everywhere from the highd mountains 39 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:38,840 of Free America. Here's the Emerald City, EXI. 40 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:53,479 Speaker 1: Todd Herman. Today is the day the Lord has made 41 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,280 in These are the times through which God has decided 42 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,919 we shall live. We're back to working with a friend 43 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,199 at Alan Solps. So just stay this off the top 44 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,400 of the show if you let your subscription lapse to Alan's, 45 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,360 because we'd stop talking about him. It wasn't that we 46 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,319 stopped caring. It's that my friend John, the guy who 47 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,840 started Alan Soaps, passed about six weeks ago now, and 48 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,560 his wife, Tina, was in the business of grieving and 49 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,159 ending up, you know, wrapping up her husband's affairs, dealing 50 00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:24,439 with her boys and their grief. Ian and Alan, we're 51 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,960 really really hoping we can continue the soap company. This 52 00:03:29,039 --> 00:03:31,719 is made in America, family with three generations of soap 53 00:03:31,759 --> 00:03:34,680 making expertise. You know these things. No chemicals in these soaps. 54 00:03:35,719 --> 00:03:39,400 This is our hope to keep this company going in 55 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,080 in thriving to honor John, but also these boys have 56 00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:44,840 a place to work. But also so you get soap 57 00:03:44,919 --> 00:03:48,360 that's not polluted by the world. So Tina put together 58 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,039 a package. It's the four soaps that started Alan Soaps, 59 00:03:51,439 --> 00:03:54,120 the og package with the Cisele pouch for under toorna 60 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,479 nine bucks. It's at Alansoaps dot com, slash todd and hey, 61 00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:00,479 drop her a note. By the way, some people did 62 00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:02,800 this after John pass went to the website and social 63 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,400 sites and dropped a note she still is really grieving 64 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,319 very fresh for her alisaps dot com slash Todd promo 65 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:17,000 code Todd. When Satan takes something goods and twists it, 66 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,439 it is one of his most clever tactics. So what 67 00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:25,439 I was noticing in the world of Catholic conversions and 68 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,879 less so the Orthodox Church, a lot of young men 69 00:04:28,879 --> 00:04:31,480 are going into the Orthodox Church. There's no reason to 70 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,240 believe that's not genuine, that God's not calling these people 71 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,360 to themselves, to himself. And a lot of it's in 72 00:04:38,399 --> 00:04:40,920 response to a world and young men are saying this 73 00:04:41,399 --> 00:04:43,560 that We've done shows where we featured the voices of 74 00:04:43,639 --> 00:04:46,240 young men and polls where young men have said, I'm 75 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,480 sick of being in a world where everything just suddenly changes, 76 00:04:49,519 --> 00:04:51,000 where all of a sudden, if you want to be 77 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,319 a girl, you can be a girl, and where all 78 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,959 of a sudden, you know, it's vitally important that we 79 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,439 go to war for Ukraine because our most important ally 80 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,160 and then it's not Ukraine now is now they are 81 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,040 our most important ally? And let's forget Ukraine. What is Ukraine? 82 00:05:04,079 --> 00:05:07,279 Isn't that an island in the South Pacific and so 83 00:05:07,319 --> 00:05:11,360 these young men are saying everything suddenly changes. They're tired 84 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:17,079 of having their masculinity called poisonous and toxic, and so 85 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,800 they view the Orthodox churches is a place that there 86 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,160 are places that don't change. These guys still wear weird 87 00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:26,480 black robes and the big jewelry, it hats and such, 88 00:05:26,519 --> 00:05:31,399 and that looks very old and very standard and very unchanging. 89 00:05:31,439 --> 00:05:33,680 And in a way it is, well, not in a 90 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,600 way it is. The Orthodox Church is Orthodox. So young 91 00:05:37,639 --> 00:05:40,279 men are going to this, and God will use this 92 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,920 to his glory to bring them to himself. And maybe 93 00:05:42,959 --> 00:05:45,639 they'll stay at the Orthodox Church and become Jesus loving 94 00:05:47,959 --> 00:05:51,199 people out sharing the love of Christ and making disciples. 95 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,399 And maybe they'll do that, and praise God if that happens. 96 00:05:55,519 --> 00:06:02,839 That's one thing. But the Catholic excessorizing and this is 97 00:06:02,879 --> 00:06:06,839 what I'm seeing from influencers with lots and lots of 98 00:06:06,879 --> 00:06:12,319 footprint and lots of attention, it hits and clicks, is 99 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:17,399 a merchandising of their Catholicism. And this is a Hey, 100 00:06:17,399 --> 00:06:19,839 here's my rosary. And by the way, I sell some 101 00:06:19,879 --> 00:06:21,560 of these, and there's some rosaries you can buy there 102 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,959 just like mine, and holding it up as if you're 103 00:06:23,959 --> 00:06:27,920 going into battle with your rosary and giving a political 104 00:06:27,959 --> 00:06:32,079 speech with your rosary. Now you could say, no, no, 105 00:06:32,199 --> 00:06:34,600 I'm doing what you do, Todd. I am trying to 106 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:40,720 bring people to Christ. Fair enough, fair enough. Here's what 107 00:06:40,879 --> 00:06:45,759 I want to examine is the fruits of this. Okay, 108 00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:48,639 So let's go to the basis. To someone who's passed on. 109 00:06:48,759 --> 00:06:51,639 He has no dog in this hunt. But he described 110 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,279 this from his timeline, and that was C. S. Lewis. C. S. 111 00:06:56,399 --> 00:06:59,560 Lewis in writing The Screwtape Letters. And if you don't 112 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,120 know that book, it's a brilliant book that looks at 113 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,879 the world through the eyes of demons. So there's Screwtape 114 00:07:04,879 --> 00:07:08,600 in Wormwood, and Wormwood is a junior demon and he's 115 00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:13,079 working for his uncle demon Uncle Screwtape, and Screwtape is 116 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,680 a senior demon and he knows how to make disciples 117 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,920 of Satan. So Wormwood is in the world on assignment 118 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:28,319 and Wormwood they call us their patients. And so Wormwood 119 00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:31,199 at one point is writing to Uncle Screwtape and he says, Hey, 120 00:07:32,439 --> 00:07:35,959 I'm concerned, I'm losing my patients. They've joined the church, 121 00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:43,279 and Uncle Screwtape writes back to his nephew Wormwood, and 122 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,480 he says, Okay, they must be very proud of that. 123 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:54,120 They must be very proud of themselves. Fill them with 124 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:59,519 that pride. Look at us go in the church. Yea, 125 00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:02,959 church goers, we're better than the people who don't go 126 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,879 to church. Look how much better we are than the people. 127 00:08:05,879 --> 00:08:08,399 Though there's people who don't go to church. We go 128 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:14,720 to church, man, we're something special. And then within the church, 129 00:08:14,839 --> 00:08:17,959 he said, I imagine within the church there's people who 130 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:23,279 are needy and non hygienic and smell bads, and you 131 00:08:23,319 --> 00:08:24,879 can put that in their mind that what they're Hey, 132 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,759 you know, thank goodness, we're not like them. Look at them. Wow, 133 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,720 thank goodness. We get to sit up front in the pews. 134 00:08:33,399 --> 00:08:35,240 They probably don't give any money to the church. We're 135 00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:39,480 giving money to the church, and they can share with 136 00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:44,600 their friends how much money they give to church. And suddenly, 137 00:08:44,799 --> 00:08:48,960 what Screwtape has done is taking a positive stepping into 138 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,879 a church environment. And he's not changed it. They're still 139 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,639 going to church. In fact, they're super proud of going 140 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,399 to church. They got a lot of human pride. They're 141 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,440 super proud that they're better than the people who don't 142 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,080 go to church, that God loves them more, and he 143 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,639 certainly loves them more than the stinky people sitting in 144 00:09:04,639 --> 00:09:10,080 the back of the church. So he takes something positive 145 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,440 and they never even notice. Then it's become a negative. 146 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,519 What did they do with the trans thing? They took 147 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:25,639 something positive, empathy. It's a good thing to be empathetic 148 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,799 to people, and they made it a negative. It started 149 00:09:29,799 --> 00:09:33,200 with sob stories of I just need a place to pee, 150 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,480 that's all. That's all I'm asking for. I work downtown 151 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,200 and I can't just hold my urine all day. I 152 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,840 need a place to pee. And a lot of very 153 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,559 very well meaning empathetic people said, you know what I mean, 154 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,200 it's just a bathroom. They're just going to go into 155 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,159 the stalls. It's like, you know, they're going to shut 156 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,759 the door. It might be a little bit uncomfortable, but yeah, 157 00:09:54,759 --> 00:09:58,360 we can't have them walking around holding their urine or 158 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,600 urinating in their pants. We can't. And then it extended 159 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,399 a little bit, and then they took these sob stories 160 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,240 of kids they just knew they were born in the 161 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,600 wrong body from the very early on, and they put 162 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,480 a word on it that was a pseudoscientific transgender and well, 163 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,000 if we don't do anything, they'll kill themselves. We have 164 00:10:16,039 --> 00:10:18,960 to do something, and so they took this empathy, we 165 00:10:19,039 --> 00:10:21,960 have to do something, and then it went from we 166 00:10:22,039 --> 00:10:24,120 got to do something too. Now we have to lie 167 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,120 and end. But look, we're lying for a good reason. 168 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,879 I know, I know my little cousin is not a girl, 169 00:10:29,879 --> 00:10:31,919 but she thinks she's a boy. And I need to 170 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,120 be nice, and so I'm gonna say, I'm going to 171 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,639 use the boy name and I'm going to use the 172 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,440 boy pronoun and it's not harming anything. And look at 173 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:44,600 what they're doing. What they did very smart, took that 174 00:10:44,759 --> 00:10:47,759 positive of empathy and compassion and twisted it to the 175 00:10:47,799 --> 00:10:50,120 point that you are saying to a little kid, you're 176 00:10:50,159 --> 00:10:52,600 so brave and stunning to be destroying your body for 177 00:10:52,639 --> 00:10:55,039 the rest of your life. You're so brave and stunning, 178 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:04,759 and again, checking all spirits. What I see going on 179 00:11:04,919 --> 00:11:09,159 here is displayed in the fruits, because you could look 180 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,200 at this and man, I love this. This is crowds 181 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,360 of young people lining up at Saint Joseph Church in Manhattan, 182 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:25,440 and this is so cool to see and a lot 183 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,840 of young faces and if you go to church, I mean, 184 00:11:28,879 --> 00:11:30,240 if you go to a church, it's sort of an 185 00:11:30,279 --> 00:11:34,360 old church, and this very young people there. This is astonishing. 186 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,799 We're blessed to have a big church and we've got 187 00:11:37,799 --> 00:11:41,399 a huge number of young people that attend because we're 188 00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:47,039 very intentional about shepherding young people and making sure they 189 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,720 stay connected to the church. I make absolutely no judgem 190 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,720 about these people. They're simply standing in line to go 191 00:11:51,759 --> 00:11:55,519 to church. And the hashtag revival of Christianity, Praise God, 192 00:11:55,519 --> 00:11:58,879 Almighty Palms Sunday in Manhattan now it is Palm Sunday. 193 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,440 There are people who are ethnically Christian or ethnically Catholic. 194 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,399 They don't know the Lord, they don't abide with the lords, 195 00:12:06,159 --> 00:12:09,559 they don't live a particularly godly life, they sin against 196 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,440 the Lord, but they go in on Palm Sunday, and 197 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,879 they go in on Easter. That does happen, and it's 198 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,600 endemic to the church. There are people who are traditionalists. 199 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,840 I know, people who stand a verse to God's in 200 00:12:22,039 --> 00:12:26,320 every possible manner in relation to sexuality and doctrines such 201 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,840 as well, God's you know, Jesus isn't the only way 202 00:12:30,919 --> 00:12:34,159 to heaven and the Bible's filled with errors and contradictions, 203 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,600 and it's written by dead white men. And Jesus didn't 204 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,279 understand that most people, that people are all born gay, 205 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,039 that all gay people are born that way. And Jesus 206 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,000 didn't understand that he was a man of his time. 207 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,000 And you know he was after all, remember this, he 208 00:12:47,039 --> 00:12:50,519 was an itinerant son of a of a carpenter. It's 209 00:12:50,519 --> 00:12:52,759 not like he really studied anything. He wasn't even really 210 00:12:52,799 --> 00:12:55,559 a trained rabbi, So you know, he didn't have all 211 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,320 the advantages that we have. So let's look past that. 212 00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:01,200 Plus he had his biases of his time. But you know, 213 00:13:01,279 --> 00:13:02,960 then those are the same people who go to church 214 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:08,679 on Easter Sunday, the Catholic Church. Why that's a tradition. 215 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,639 I just like the traditions. I'm comforted by the traditions. 216 00:13:12,879 --> 00:13:16,679 I bet you are. I bet you are. It's like 217 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,360 seeing your favorite movie again. Sometimes my wife is astonished. 218 00:13:21,399 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 2: You know. 219 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,879 Speaker 1: And I'm a very lucky man to have had my 220 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:25,799 marriage of thirty years and a wife who puts up 221 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,879 with the fact that from time to time, I say, hey, 222 00:13:27,879 --> 00:13:30,679 you know what, it seems like a Star Trek insurrection night, 223 00:13:31,879 --> 00:13:35,639 or it seems like a Tombstone night. We've seen Tombstone 224 00:13:35,639 --> 00:13:37,519 eleven times. Yeah, but let's watch it for the twelfth 225 00:13:39,759 --> 00:13:43,799 because I'm comforted by it. I enjoy it. Those are movies, 226 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:48,240 not church. And if you're in church mindlessly going through 227 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,240 dogma and mindlessly going through tradition, you're not building a 228 00:13:51,279 --> 00:13:55,919 relationship with the Lord Jesus, and he's not fooled. I 229 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,639 have not built a relationship with Kurt Russell, despite the 230 00:13:58,639 --> 00:14:02,279 fact that I've seen Tombstone for times. Kurt Russell doesn't 231 00:14:02,279 --> 00:14:08,279 know exists. Now God knows they exist, but they're not 232 00:14:08,279 --> 00:14:10,919 building relationship. And I'm not judging these people. They may 233 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:15,759 well be very, very active, abiding Christian people, but they're 234 00:14:15,799 --> 00:14:23,399 young and it's cool. Here's where it gets disconcerting when 235 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:31,960 people are taking the faith as a fashion accessory. And 236 00:14:32,039 --> 00:14:36,080 this is where I begin to sniff the social contagion. 237 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,759 Why are you going to church because it's a fantastic 238 00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:43,799 selfie opportunity, because lots of cool people are doing it. 239 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:48,480 Because I see people on stage holding religious artifacts, I 240 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,360 don't know what they mean, I don't understand them, or 241 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:57,200 becoming Catholic and then immediately becoming a Catholic commentator and 242 00:14:57,279 --> 00:15:00,200 immediately going out in schooling people about the Catholic Church, 243 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,159 as some people have done, and they've got huge audiences 244 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,080 all of a sudden, and they're doing things like taking 245 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,919 on bishops when they've been and by the way, they're 246 00:15:10,919 --> 00:15:15,720 not even confirmed Catholics. There's a confirmation process Catholics go 247 00:15:15,759 --> 00:15:19,000 through and these people aren't even confirmed, but they deigned 248 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,320 to lecture bishops about what the Catholic Church should be 249 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:27,759 doing in relation to world events. But it's the accessorizing 250 00:15:29,759 --> 00:15:33,480 that really killed me. Into this seems like a social contention. 251 00:15:34,279 --> 00:15:36,919 Back when they were doing the transing of kids things 252 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,279 and behind the scenes they started to sell trans clothes, 253 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,919 so called trans clothes on Amazon, and if you knew 254 00:15:44,919 --> 00:15:46,759 what you were looking at, you knew what you were seeing. 255 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,440 There were books that were designed to trans kids' minds. 256 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,559 These were being sold behind the scenes. They weren't being trumpeted, 257 00:15:53,399 --> 00:15:57,600 they weren't being promoted, but they were there. And you 258 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,639 had t shirts that say I haven't this if I'm 259 00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:04,320 a boy or a girl nine years ago, and there 260 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,600 were parents are buying that go oh that's cool, yeah, all, 261 00:16:06,679 --> 00:16:08,279 let my kid decided they're a boy or a girl, 262 00:16:09,919 --> 00:16:12,960 and it was accessorizing. We see this, and there are 263 00:16:13,039 --> 00:16:16,320 plenty of people who turn to IVF pregnancies because they 264 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,720 couldn't They could not become pregnant as a couple any 265 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,120 other way. I've got friends who did this, and they're 266 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,159 the sort of people we want having eggs, kids want 267 00:16:24,159 --> 00:16:27,559 having kids that there are people who are accessorizing children. 268 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,120 How do we know it's accessorizing when we watch videos 269 00:16:31,159 --> 00:16:37,039 of same sex attracted men reviewing the bios and pictures 270 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,919 and videos of the of the women who they want 271 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,320 to they want to purchase their eggs. These are the 272 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,720 bodies we want to rent. These are the eggs we 273 00:16:44,759 --> 00:16:46,960 want to buy, the bodies we want to rent. And 274 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,519 they're paging through, swiping wipes, swiping left and talking about 275 00:16:50,519 --> 00:16:52,679 what they want. Well, I want some. I want a 276 00:16:52,679 --> 00:16:56,159 baby who looks partly Asian but partly white, but most 277 00:16:56,159 --> 00:16:59,399 of all hot. I want a baby that grows up hot. 278 00:17:00,799 --> 00:17:03,759 So let's make sure that the mother's hot. And if 279 00:17:03,759 --> 00:17:05,720 you doubt this, go look at the New York Post article. 280 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,160 And I didn't pull this. I should have pulled this 281 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,759 on sperm parties. Have you heard about sperm parties? It's 282 00:17:09,759 --> 00:17:12,400 not what you think. It's not that, thank God, it's 283 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:17,440 not that. It's for women who are single. They want 284 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,960 the joy of motherhood. Therefore they invite their friends over 285 00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:23,559 for a sperm party, where they get the Hey, here's 286 00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:26,200 the two hundred men. We've boiled it down to these 287 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,880 two hundred sperm donors. So tonight we're gonna go down 288 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,039 from two hundred to one hundred. Then we're gonna go 289 00:17:32,079 --> 00:17:34,640 to a vote again and go down from one hundred 290 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,480 to fifty, and then to twenty five and eventually the 291 00:17:37,519 --> 00:17:40,400 top five. And then sometime around midnight, when we're good 292 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:45,039 and toasted on the champagne and the cocaine, we're gonna 293 00:17:45,039 --> 00:17:47,680 go down to the sperm donor and I'm gonna buy 294 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,720 that sperm. And I'll buy that sperm tonight in front 295 00:17:50,759 --> 00:17:57,240 of you all. Whoa sperm party? Mama? Why did you 296 00:17:57,279 --> 00:18:01,319 have me? Well, you look like you were going to 297 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:09,519 be hot because your sprum donor was hot. How did 298 00:18:09,599 --> 00:18:11,720 you decide? Oh? I didn't. I brought friends over and 299 00:18:11,759 --> 00:18:19,559 devoted what we were drinking, accessorizing. Right. So over twenty 300 00:18:19,599 --> 00:18:22,759 thousand people joined the Catholic church across France, and again 301 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,400 a lot of our young people. This came from Notre Dame. Again, 302 00:18:26,559 --> 00:18:28,759 it's it's easy to look at this and say, Praise 303 00:18:28,799 --> 00:18:34,160 God Almighty. These are them going through the Catholic sprinkling 304 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:39,359 of water. That's funny. In vegetical land, we don't believe 305 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,680 this counts as of as Baptist, by the way, and 306 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,759 the reason we say that is because Jesus was immersed 307 00:18:46,799 --> 00:18:48,599 in water and we think we should do everything like 308 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,119 Jesus did it. It's still it's a lovely ceremony and 309 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,359 it happened to, you know, in Notre Dame Cathedral. There's 310 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,000 a lot to be said for these cathedrals. And one 311 00:18:57,079 --> 00:18:59,640 day we could talk about why I'm not Catholic. If 312 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,920 you want, maybe you talk about why you are Catholic. 313 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,559 That's not accessorizing. I have no reason to believe that 314 00:19:05,839 --> 00:19:07,960 those are very faithful people. I'm sure they love the 315 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,000 Catholic Church. I'm sure that many of them love Jesus, 316 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,960 and I'm sure that all of them love the Catholic Church, 317 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:18,079 and many of them love Jesus. Here's where it gets 318 00:19:18,279 --> 00:19:23,160 disconcerting to me is we're about to shift gears into 319 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:28,000 what I think is what Satan loves. I'm checking the 320 00:19:28,079 --> 00:19:32,119 spirits in this, and I'm thinking, if I've examined the 321 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,039 fruits of the spirits, is there anything in there about 322 00:19:35,039 --> 00:19:42,440 making a public show or seeking cliques or getting clout 323 00:19:42,519 --> 00:19:45,720 because of where you go to church? Or instead? Did 324 00:19:45,759 --> 00:19:50,000 Jesus tell us when you pray, do so in private 325 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,680 where your father in Heaven hears you. Do not be 326 00:19:52,759 --> 00:19:58,359 and he addressed specifically. He was addressing phariseical hypocrites who 327 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:02,200 would stand outside and loudly pray and make sure that 328 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,440 people saw them, and they would pray in the public square. 329 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,799 And this so goes on in some strict and observant 330 00:20:08,599 --> 00:20:12,079 Jewish neighborhoods have seen this behavior where people dressed in 331 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,759 black and long beards, if they're men, rocking back and 332 00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:18,200 forth and praying out loud. And that really that Jesus 333 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,000 didn't appreciate that when you pray, do not be like 334 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,200 the hypocrites in public, but go into private where your 335 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,599 father in Heaven hears you. And truly, I will tell 336 00:20:28,599 --> 00:20:31,200 you've had your reward, Because what he's saying is, do 337 00:20:31,319 --> 00:20:33,519 not be like the hypocrites praying in public out loud, 338 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:39,160 because truly, I tell you they've had their reward. Hey, folks, 339 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,359 saw your praying. That's what you wanted. You got it. Now, 340 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,079 God knows our hearts. If it happens that you're leading 341 00:20:46,079 --> 00:20:48,599 a prayer service or you've been asked to pray at 342 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,880 Thankgiving dinner and your heart is true and you're praying 343 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,799 to join people together under the word of God's God 344 00:20:54,839 --> 00:20:57,680 knows your heart. But if you're performing and it's performance 345 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,319 and you're praying to be seen by people, hey, look 346 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,319 how pious they are. Wow, he's got a rosary on stage. 347 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,440 He carries his rosary out and holds it up like 348 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:07,119 it's a sword. 349 00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:07,839 Speaker 2: This. 350 00:21:08,079 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: Oh, he's got to be super faithful. And Jesus is saying, hey, truly, 351 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,160 I tell you they had their reward. But Lord, didn't 352 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,440 I pray to you. Didn't I bring out a rosary? Yes, 353 00:21:17,519 --> 00:21:20,519 And people clapped and you got clicks, and you got 354 00:21:20,559 --> 00:21:22,640 your reward. That's what you wanted and you got it. 355 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,000 You didn't develop a relationship with me, but you got 356 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:31,400 that praise clicks. That's what we're going to shift into. 357 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,240 So we'll do this in a second. I'll give you 358 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:41,000 another example. Last night at our life group, we got 359 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:46,960 into a conversation about young men and the church and elders. 360 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,799 And at the end of this, our friend Steve closed 361 00:21:50,839 --> 00:21:52,759 us in prayer. It was all related to what we 362 00:21:52,759 --> 00:21:56,359 were talking about. So there we are, not in public, 363 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,359 but in a private setting. But Steve wasn't praying for 364 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,519 us to see him. You see Steve every week. I'm 365 00:22:01,519 --> 00:22:04,440 having lunch with Steve on Friday. No offense to my friend, 366 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,000 but it's not a special thing that we get together. 367 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,880 It's not a special thing that he prays in front 368 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,480 of us. It's just what we do. But it was 369 00:22:13,519 --> 00:22:17,279 a very sincere prayer. One of the members of our 370 00:22:17,319 --> 00:22:20,839 life group grew ill last night and he had to 371 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:25,240 go pull himself aside and he reflected that that's not 372 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:28,599 that's not the same thing as what we're about to 373 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:33,000 talk about. Also, last night, my friends Mark Mark, I 374 00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:34,680 want to say his wife's Saime. But Mark is now 375 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,880 asking me, Look, Todd, can you once you come down 376 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,720 to Mexico. I want to be down there. You put 377 00:22:39,759 --> 00:22:42,000 the trip off because of the DHS travel stuff. That's 378 00:22:42,039 --> 00:22:43,880 better now. They just got back from travel. They had 379 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,160 no problem in the airport, so I told them I'm 380 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:47,960 gonna check it with my wife and see I might 381 00:22:48,079 --> 00:22:51,359 end up now see now, I guarantee Kathleen for my news. 382 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,039 Get to hear this, Kathleen. I'll text you if I 383 00:22:54,079 --> 00:22:56,279 make this decision. I'll text Chef the show. Don't panic. 384 00:22:56,759 --> 00:22:58,680 But I might make my trip down to Mexico as 385 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,559 early as next week. But that means I can't get 386 00:23:00,559 --> 00:23:02,680 the anti aging protocol, so I'm probably not going to 387 00:23:02,759 --> 00:23:06,559 do it. The anti aging protocol is the key for 388 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,880 me going into this next station in my life because 389 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,440 I'm going to be CEO of my health. I don't 390 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,440 have a regular doctor. I've got a naturopathic nurse practitioner 391 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,160 who's the closest thing is I have to a doc. 392 00:23:17,519 --> 00:23:19,519 They got a sports medicine doc, and I'll probably go 393 00:23:19,519 --> 00:23:23,480 get a new chiropractor. So these people combined to deal 394 00:23:23,519 --> 00:23:25,119 with my health. When I go down and do the 395 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,759 anti aging protocol, I'm going to get an IV of 396 00:23:27,799 --> 00:23:31,440 stem cells. I'm going to get IVS and hyperbredic chamber 397 00:23:31,519 --> 00:23:35,200 related to my epigenetic aging. First step is determine the 398 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,880 age of my organs versus my chronological age. Second step 399 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,039 is to determine a plan of action with the three 400 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:42,759 to five things that are likely to take me out 401 00:23:42,839 --> 00:23:45,000 or slow me down. Go down and do what they 402 00:23:45,039 --> 00:23:46,920 can to reverse aging in the spot, and then give 403 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,559 me a kit I'll take home where I will do 404 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,200 exercises at home and take some of the things they 405 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,839 give me at home to help reverse the aging process. 406 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,200 So I become CEO of my health and anybody on 407 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,359 my health team. I communicate to the these are my 408 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,440 focus areas. It's a male clinic level look into my body. 409 00:24:03,519 --> 00:24:06,200 And it's a week in Porto Arta, which is return 410 00:24:06,319 --> 00:24:08,680 to normal. It went back to normal according to my 411 00:24:08,759 --> 00:24:11,319 friends who lived there, about two days after the big 412 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,799 explosion of violence. It's all good again. So if you 413 00:24:14,839 --> 00:24:16,720 want to join me in this, go to renew dot 414 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,160 Healthcare e n u e dot Healthcare. Talk to them 415 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,039 about their anti aging protocol and I will decide today 416 00:24:22,039 --> 00:24:23,480 because I got a visit with my wife to see 417 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:24,960 if I can even pull this off to get down 418 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,960 there this soon. It's renewed r E n U E 419 00:24:27,039 --> 00:24:30,039 dot Healthcare. So this is a piece. I mentioned the 420 00:24:30,039 --> 00:24:32,119 New York Posts. They put up that article about the 421 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,160 sperm parties, and forgive me for bringing that back up. 422 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,000 I know that's not an image genuine needs in their mind, 423 00:24:36,039 --> 00:24:38,079 just early in the morning, or maybe at all. Here's 424 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,839 the headline, catholic z influencers make church look cooler than ever, 425 00:24:43,319 --> 00:24:51,799 snapping up hundreds of thousands of social media followers. I 426 00:24:51,839 --> 00:24:57,440 hope this is not the reward. But when people seek 427 00:24:57,559 --> 00:25:00,920 fame and adoration and they seek soul, social clouts and 428 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,759 social clout is the end all be all, and they 429 00:25:03,839 --> 00:25:06,359 noticed that, Wow, there's lots of attention paid to people 430 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,480 who convert and they're Catholic. Wow. Catholic is the new rebellion, 431 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,200 like so called trans was the new rebellion. Like prior 432 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:19,400 to that, Punk was the rebellion. Sometime around there the sixties, 433 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,400 the hippie love ethos, which was really just a sexy ethos, 434 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,000 did and everything to do with love. That was the rebellion. 435 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,359 There was the motorcycle riding gangs and the cigarette smoking 436 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,000 was the rebellion. And there was the flapper girls that 437 00:25:33,039 --> 00:25:35,440 there were rebellion. There was the Civil War bow that 438 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,559 was a civil war that wasn't just a pretend rebellion. 439 00:25:40,039 --> 00:25:42,200 Here's part of the article, Jesus Rose from the Dead. 440 00:25:42,279 --> 00:25:52,160 Now he's raising follower counts. Well, No, I guarantee that 441 00:25:52,279 --> 00:25:56,799 is not Jesus's main goal to make sure his words 442 00:25:56,799 --> 00:26:02,119 were widely seen. Sure, these follower accounts know a new 443 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,359 class of hip young Catholic content creators is making a 444 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,960 viral splash on social media, eagerly spreading the good news 445 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,519 in an age of uncertainty and making Catholicism cooler than ever, 446 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:18,960 just in time for Easter. From poking fun at idio 447 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,319 of the idiosyncrasies of age old customs, just how many 448 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:29,240 times do Catholics have to kneel during mass? Ha to 449 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,759 sharing passionate takes and religious texts and teachings, these young 450 00:26:33,079 --> 00:26:36,680 virtual evangelists have made their mission to take the church 451 00:26:36,759 --> 00:26:40,240 further into the twenty first century, with many simultaneously urging 452 00:26:40,279 --> 00:26:45,440 followers to return to more traditional values. Okay, let's go 453 00:26:45,559 --> 00:26:49,359 back to checking spirits. Let's check all spirits, like to takes, 454 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:54,039 all thoughts captives to Christ? Who are they promoting. 455 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:56,519 Speaker 2: To? 456 00:26:56,559 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: Whose glory? If it's for clicks, for their clout. God 457 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:09,759 knows that, then I know I'll hear it because I 458 00:27:09,839 --> 00:27:16,359 always do. Hey, hypocrite, you call yourself a Jesus centered host. 459 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,640 You're doing the same thing, yeah, except I would make 460 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,440 so much more money if I played the Red Versus 461 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,839 Blue game. In fact, I can tell you this right now, 462 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,079 were blessed to have one hundred and eighty one FM 463 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,920 stations for our American Family radio show. Utterly blessed. I 464 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,160 don't want to be in any other network, frankly, but 465 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,559 I would have been on another network five days a 466 00:27:37,599 --> 00:27:39,359 week if I would just have done the Red Versus 467 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,359 Blue thing and move to New York. That's all I 468 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,720 needed to do. Move the family to New York, live downtown, 469 00:27:45,799 --> 00:27:48,200 do some Fox News hits. But what we want you 470 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,799 to concentrate on is politics. We know you like to 471 00:27:50,839 --> 00:27:54,400 talk about spirituality and medicine and health and pharma and 472 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,319 culture and all that, and that's all good and well, 473 00:27:56,559 --> 00:27:59,720 but we need a political show that's ninety percent political, 474 00:28:00,079 --> 00:28:03,200 focus on the national topics and really taking it to 475 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:09,359 the libs. That's what we need. No thanks, and it's 476 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:10,440 not that God hasn't blessed us. 477 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 2: He has. 478 00:28:10,759 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 1: Praise God. So here's a picture of some good, good 479 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,880 looking young people, very pure ash Wednesday with the ash 480 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:25,400 in their heads. And maybe they're super well meaning. I 481 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:31,200 just hope this isn't their reward, and maybe this is 482 00:28:31,319 --> 00:28:35,680 just the phone generation it's the photo sharing generation. Then 483 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,480 there's things like this where people are putting up well 484 00:28:38,519 --> 00:28:42,720 produced YouTube videos. If Catholic Saints livestream today, Saint Francis 485 00:28:42,759 --> 00:28:50,599 of Assisi, that's pretty Jesus affirming. So Saint Francis of 486 00:28:50,599 --> 00:28:54,119 Assisi is the Catholic Saint of animals. You'll remember this, 487 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,200 of course, because when they didn't have time to pass 488 00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,720 the Save Act, they had time to bring in animals 489 00:29:00,799 --> 00:29:03,160 and bless them. The Republicans. Did you remember this. They 490 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,359 didn't have time to pass the SA back, but they 491 00:29:05,359 --> 00:29:07,839 had the time, these senators to bring in anams and 492 00:29:07,839 --> 00:29:10,680 bless them. So I didn't want to run the TikTok. 493 00:29:12,119 --> 00:29:15,440 He's trying to be funny about Catholics and Catholic saints 494 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,759 today and it's getting tossed around in Catholic circles. Said 495 00:29:18,759 --> 00:29:27,039 he loves the Catholic Church. Who is this glorifying? And 496 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:33,720 I compleade guilty to this next one. I'll tell you why. 497 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,640 This past summer we had the great honor of baptizing 498 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:42,200 some of our boys and they came out to the 499 00:29:42,279 --> 00:29:44,799 lake and John and I got to baptize them. Praise God, 500 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,079 their parents are there, men and women from the church 501 00:29:47,079 --> 00:29:50,359 community came out, their football coaches came out, rustling coaches. 502 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,519 It was like forty people. And I wasn't thinking. I 503 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,920 just I wasn't thinking. We went out in the water 504 00:29:57,119 --> 00:29:59,119 and the boys said, can we take our shirts off? 505 00:29:59,119 --> 00:30:00,559 And I was thinking that don't want to get their 506 00:30:00,559 --> 00:30:03,519 shirts wet. That's That's not what they wanted. They wanted. 507 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:08,599 They wanted a beefcake photo. And I knew I had 508 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,160 done wrong. When we got out there and one of 509 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,839 the boys gave a little flexshot, I knew I'd done wrong. 510 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,400 I should have said, go put your shirt back on, 511 00:30:14,519 --> 00:30:19,160 Go put your shirt back on. Now. God has done 512 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:20,960 great works in this young man. They also happened to 513 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,359 be fifteen and maybe one Yeah, one of them is 514 00:30:24,359 --> 00:30:27,000 now sixteen and fifteen year boys are gunn a fifteen 515 00:30:27,039 --> 00:30:30,240 year old boy. But the church didn't run the videos 516 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,640 of the baptisms because we always run the videos at church. 517 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,359 If they happen outside at church or during non church hours, 518 00:30:36,599 --> 00:30:39,519 we always have a little compilation video. They weren't in there, 519 00:30:39,519 --> 00:30:41,440 and I went and I talked to the leader team 520 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:42,680 and I said, is it because they didn't have their 521 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:47,480 shirts on? They went, yeah, yeah, yes, that's got so 522 00:30:49,079 --> 00:30:53,880 why because they're bringing glory to themselves. So here's a 523 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,960 Catholic influencer. Everything I consume will fasting for a lance 524 00:30:58,039 --> 00:31:02,680 And sure enough he's ripped, sure enough he's shaved down, 525 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:08,240 no hair to distract from the abbey's he says, to 526 00:31:08,279 --> 00:31:11,640 not starve. And by the way, looking at this, this 527 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,640 looks very clearly Manhattan to me where he's standing. And 528 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,799 of course this article is from the New York Posts 529 00:31:17,799 --> 00:31:20,960 and it's about Manhattan. So we've gone from some kids 530 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,039 with ash on their foreheads young people with ash on 531 00:31:23,079 --> 00:31:26,200 their foreheads. Okay, it's ashual Sunday or ashwant to say 532 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,680 okay to a Catholic making a or guy who says 533 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,799 he's a Catholic making a goofy video about Saint Francis 534 00:31:32,799 --> 00:31:36,400 of ASSISI and getting one thousand, six hundred and fifty 535 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,839 four people joining him for a live stream with a 536 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,559 bunch of hearts and flowers, and ain't it funny? Plus 537 00:31:42,559 --> 00:31:47,559 he's got a chicken to a Jim bro shirt off, 538 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,799 talking about everything he consumes well fasting for lent to 539 00:31:50,839 --> 00:31:55,160 not starve. This is simply a a thirst video and 540 00:31:55,319 --> 00:31:57,880 be a good old bro gym video on how to 541 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:05,920 restrict calories. But man, he's bringing Okay, I feel very 542 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,880 comfortable here saying Jesus looking at this guy going congratulations, 543 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:14,200 you've had your reward. You are ripped. I feel very 544 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,519 comfortable with Jesus looking at the guy with a TikTok 545 00:32:16,599 --> 00:32:19,720 video saying congratulations, you've had your reward. People thought that 546 00:32:19,839 --> 00:32:26,480 was funny, and then going further along through the article, 547 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,559 again this is just some young people going into church. 548 00:32:29,599 --> 00:32:33,480 Maybe they find it very novel. But I can tell 549 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,440 you I go to church quite often. I'm there for 550 00:32:36,519 --> 00:32:39,160 youth group every single week. I was there twice last 551 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:44,000 week and probably be there three times coming up. I 552 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:49,599 don't take pictures. I don't see anyone who's faithfully going 553 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,680 to church saying, hey, we're at church, let's take a picture. 554 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,119 Hey there's the pastor. Let's take a picture with the pastor. 555 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,680 Alex goes to church every weekend. Do you ever feel 556 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,359 tempted to go? Let's get a picture with the por 557 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:06,839 so I can post it. So the article said they're 558 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:14,279 gaining followers, So Satan takes something very good. People being 559 00:33:14,319 --> 00:33:16,960 exposed to the word of the Lord in a church 560 00:33:17,039 --> 00:33:20,119 environment in this case a Catholic church, and he can 561 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,880 do something very bad with it. Hey, we're getting views 562 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,880 people like this. We're part of a rebellious class. Jack 563 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:36,960 Prosibic retweeted me. So, when we look at these things 564 00:33:37,039 --> 00:33:40,240 and we examine it from a perspective of social contagion, 565 00:33:40,839 --> 00:33:44,400 let's step back and recompare it to the so called 566 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:50,000 trans thing. How many magazine articles did we have with 567 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:57,240 brave and stunning trans kids. You remember the Discovery magazine thing, 568 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,279 the young boy who, by the way, is deep into 569 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:06,240 so called transition regret, and he was the great so 570 00:34:06,359 --> 00:34:10,239 called trans hope of the future, Jazz Jennings. Do you 571 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,880 notice that Jazz Jennings doesn't like to go do media 572 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:17,239 appearances or interviews because Jazz Jennings, according to media reports 573 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,039 and people who know that young man who has been 574 00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:25,280 mutilated for the rest of his life, is miserable. But 575 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,840 for a while, Jazz Jennings was brave and stunning, and 576 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,480 so other people stepped in to be brave and stunning, 577 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,199 and the social contagent took off the difference being this 578 00:34:33,679 --> 00:34:36,599 in that social contagion, they came along and said, hey, 579 00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:38,679 if you're serious about this, get on hormones. If you're 580 00:34:38,679 --> 00:34:41,760 serious about this, get on surgery or get surgeries done. 581 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,159 And young people who balked at that then they were told, oh, 582 00:34:44,159 --> 00:34:46,840 you're not really trans, you're a pretender. There are kids 583 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,800 to this day, some of them now in their early 584 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,480 thirties saying, the only reason I gave in is because 585 00:34:51,519 --> 00:34:54,239 the trans community so called wouldn't support me. They would 586 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,079 turn their back from me if I didn't. So I 587 00:34:56,159 --> 00:34:58,159 knew it was wrong. I knew the second the test 588 00:34:58,199 --> 00:35:00,199 saucerone was janned in my arm. It was a mistake. 589 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,199 I knew when I was going under Surgey it was 590 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,559 a mistake. I did it because I didn't want to 591 00:35:04,599 --> 00:35:09,480 lose my community. Well, that's not eternal. If you gave 592 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,519 into that, you've got grandkids or kids that gave into that. 593 00:35:11,599 --> 00:35:14,760 Jesus is anxious to forgive and forget and to bring 594 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,199 you back into the fold for lying. You know, you lie, 595 00:35:18,199 --> 00:35:21,360 that you're not male or female, van delated the body, 596 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,320 which is the temple, all these things, and the Lord 597 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:30,079 Jesus is anxious to forgive. This can be eternal because 598 00:35:30,119 --> 00:35:33,199 people can believe they've developed a relationship with God. After all, 599 00:35:33,199 --> 00:35:38,639 look at their follower account, So I am not trying 600 00:35:38,639 --> 00:35:42,719 to clench the spirit. I'm trying to call out an alarm. 601 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,119 It's been interesting to watch the discussion that went on 602 00:35:45,679 --> 00:35:47,960 after the Space Crew. Some of the members of the 603 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,480 Space Crew went up and praised the Lord Jesus and 604 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:56,440 share the word of God. The Reddit community absolutely went nuts, 605 00:35:57,199 --> 00:35:59,559 and I thought we'd pulled some comments from the reddit community. 606 00:35:59,559 --> 00:36:01,920 I thought we had this in here, Alex, Yeah, But 607 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,519 so the Reddit community went nuts on this and it 608 00:36:04,599 --> 00:36:06,719 was very, very funny to see. But I'll tell you what, 609 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:10,440 I bet Jesus respects it more than people who are 610 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,320 doing Catholic for clicks. So I'll show you this response 611 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,039 there in just a second. My friend Zach Gabraham, he 612 00:36:17,079 --> 00:36:19,760 doesn't go out and say we are a Christian investment firm, 613 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,920 and I'll tell you why, because he finds it incredibly 614 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,679 distasteful to you. Is Jesus' name for marketing, but it 615 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,880 informs everything he does, such as this. There are investments 616 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,360 Bulwark will not make for you if there are directly 617 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,159 into companies that are standing completely averse to God. And 618 00:36:37,199 --> 00:36:40,559 he'll tell you that there are whole realms of investment 619 00:36:40,599 --> 00:36:43,480 he doesn't undertake because of that, he's also a realist 620 00:36:43,519 --> 00:36:45,760 and understands that we are in this world not to 621 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,599 be of it, but in it. And his full animation 622 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,960 is risk management. So he's really really focused on all 623 00:36:52,079 --> 00:36:55,440 the wealth and money pouring into AI and the fact 624 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,000 that we don't have enough power to produce enough AI 625 00:36:58,119 --> 00:37:00,679 for all these promises. And he's willing to say things 626 00:37:00,679 --> 00:37:04,400 that are pretty unpopular, like these big tech companies should 627 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,119 have to build their own utilities. They should not be 628 00:37:07,199 --> 00:37:09,079 able to ride on the back of public utilities and 629 00:37:09,119 --> 00:37:11,800 raise our rates. That's not a popular opinion, but this 630 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,119 is him looking at how we steward what we have. 631 00:37:15,039 --> 00:37:17,400 He's putting out a free live webinar April twenty six, 632 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,760 three point thirty Pacific to talk about the effect AI 633 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,800 is likely to have on your portfolio this year last 634 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,840 year with all the AI mass, all the uncertainty, the 635 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,280 fund zach specifically managers at Bulwark did I think thirty 636 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:34,199 two percent above market and this happens because they thrive 637 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,679 in volatility. I think it's because of their risk management obsession. 638 00:37:38,519 --> 00:37:40,119 So this is a free live webinar. All you have 639 00:37:40,159 --> 00:37:42,320 to do is register to attend, so go to know 640 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,360 your Risk podcast dot com.

Investments involved risk and are not 644 00:37:55,079 --> 00:37:58,159 guaranteed past permance doesn't guarantee future results. Truck twenty six 645 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:02,280 Dash four seven. So you saw this from the space capsule. Incidentally, 646 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,519 did I mention the other day how many young people 647 00:38:04,679 --> 00:38:06,679 in fact, not just young people, A ton of people 648 00:38:07,079 --> 00:38:08,599 do not buy. For a second, now, we had we 649 00:38:08,599 --> 00:38:11,119 talked about this Monday, didn't we? A ton of people 650 00:38:11,159 --> 00:38:12,880 do not buy at all that were in space because 651 00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,639 they don't trust any of our institutions, not any of them. 652 00:38:16,199 --> 00:38:18,920 Any case. This is supposedly from space. I happen to 653 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,519 believe it's from space. But that's me and talking about 654 00:38:21,519 --> 00:38:23,320 the Lord Jesus and the Word of God. 655 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,159 Speaker 3: I'm glad you brought that up, though. I think these 656 00:38:26,199 --> 00:38:29,519 observances are important, and as we are so far from 657 00:38:29,599 --> 00:38:32,519 Earth and looking back at you know, the beauty of creation. 658 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:36,320 I think for me, one of the really important personal 659 00:38:36,679 --> 00:38:39,639 perspectives that I have up here is I can really 660 00:38:39,679 --> 00:38:41,559 see Earth as one thing and you know, when I 661 00:38:41,599 --> 00:38:43,800 read the Bible and I look at all of the 662 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,800 amazing things that were done for us who were created, 663 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:51,159 it's you have this amazing place, this spaceship. You guys 664 00:38:51,159 --> 00:38:53,440 are talking to us because we're in a spaceship really 665 00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,440 far from Earth, but you're on a spaceship called Earth 666 00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,480 that was created to give us a place to live 667 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,760 in the universe and the cosmos. Think maybe the distance 668 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,239 we are from you makes you think what we're doing 669 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,440 is special, But we're the same distance from you, and 670 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,239 I'm trying to tell you, just trust me, you are special. 671 00:39:10,639 --> 00:39:13,199 In all of this emptiness. This is a whole bunch 672 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,320 of nothing, this thing we call the universe. You have 673 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:19,559 this oasis, this beautiful place that we get to exist together. 674 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,960 I think as we go into Easter Sunday, thinking about, 675 00:39:23,199 --> 00:39:25,239 you know, all the cultures all around the world, whether 676 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,599 you celebrated or not, whether you believe in God or not, 677 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,360 this is an opportunity for us to remember where we are, 678 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,239 who we are, and that we are the same thing, 679 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:35,800 and that we got to get through this together. 680 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,760 Speaker 1: Now, that is the least biblical of the statements. Other 681 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,039 guys came out and spoke directly from the Bible and 682 00:39:43,159 --> 00:39:46,559 quoted directly from the Bible and quoted John three sixteen 683 00:39:46,639 --> 00:39:48,199 part of it. They never get to the part about 684 00:39:48,199 --> 00:39:50,679 Bayli command. It just people just don't do that. But 685 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,159 here's what happened in atheist twitter. And here's what I believe. 686 00:39:53,199 --> 00:39:57,559 I think God respects this more. If people are going 687 00:39:57,599 --> 00:40:01,480 to church for clicks, address that in a little book 688 00:40:01,559 --> 00:40:05,599 called revelation. You do not want to appear in the 689 00:40:05,599 --> 00:40:10,199 Book of Revelation in a bad light. And he addressed 690 00:40:10,199 --> 00:40:13,480 the lukewarm churches. The Church of Ephesus is lukewarm. You're 691 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,920 neither hot nor cold. Therefore I want to spit you 692 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:20,519 from my mouth. Wow headed in the Judgment day, when 693 00:40:20,519 --> 00:40:22,280 your knees gonna value, your tongue is cann infest. You 694 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:26,000 don't want Jesus look at you going. I want that. 695 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:31,960 I believe he respects boor this honesty. Artemis two fly 696 00:40:32,039 --> 00:40:35,159 by Religiousness. Right before loss of signal, the pilot started 697 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,480 rambling about Jesus with the commander from the ground among 698 00:40:38,519 --> 00:40:41,519 two commentators who were wearing prominence. I think a says 699 00:40:41,559 --> 00:40:45,280 prominent crosses are on their necks, going along with the 700 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,360 pilot and praising Jesus has felt quite disgusting, like they 701 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,639 can't keep their religion to themselves during such a big moment. Well, 702 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,199 if you truly follow Christ, I love the fact that 703 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,159 the guy who botheredors this is man from posting in Reddit. 704 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,679 That's cool. If you truly follow Jesus and you're looking 705 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,840 back at his creation, his or from his orbit, yeah, 706 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,400 you're going to speak about it. But if it disgusts you, 707 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,400 you should wonder why what spirits in you that it 708 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,800 discussed you? As we check all spirits. If you get 709 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,199 creeped out of these pictures of these young influencers and 710 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:21,079 you have the Holy spirits, check all spirits? Is it jealousness? 711 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,840 I'm not jealous of this. I don't like social media. 712 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,000 I don't like taking pictures of myself. I don't like 713 00:41:26,039 --> 00:41:30,239 being on video. It's not jealousness for me. Is it coveting? 714 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,840 I don't think so. I don't want those things. I 715 00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:37,480 feel creeped out because I don't see Jesus at the 716 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:41,360 center of this. So I think Jesus might respect this 717 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,559 more because it's very honest. I'm irrationally angry about this 718 00:41:44,599 --> 00:41:47,400 and glad others are too. Or maybe I'm rationally angry, 719 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,840 you know, because Math, because of course Math disproves the 720 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,840 existence of God in this guy's mind. When it lost 721 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:55,480 a signal, I love that he has to use the 722 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,360 acronym because he's an inside or you know, doubt NASA expert. 723 00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,320 When it lost a signal medication, Shit was like, how 724 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,280 great thou art? I wanted to throw the remote at 725 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,079 the TV. Yeah, yeah, yeah, pauloate ReGenesis. That was the 726 00:42:06,079 --> 00:42:10,039 first time there and Christmas even less evangelical. They got 727 00:42:10,079 --> 00:42:12,400 sued and should know better. Forty eight years later, f 728 00:42:12,519 --> 00:42:15,320 this American Taliban, Jesus didn't get you to the moon. 729 00:42:15,519 --> 00:42:18,760 F and Math did. And as they said, I think 730 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:20,760 the other day, because Math got together and built an 731 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,559 a built a spacecraft. Math did that, not people that 732 00:42:24,639 --> 00:42:26,800 were created by God. You get the story. But I 733 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,760 think that God would respect that more so if you 734 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,599 have young people in your life and here's the moral 735 00:42:33,639 --> 00:42:36,800 of the story, and they're going to the Catholic Church, 736 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,199 are there going to the Greek Orthodox Church? Or they 737 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,880 begin to lean into faith, praise God. And our job 738 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:49,719 as more mature Christians is to make sure it's for Jesus. 739 00:42:52,159 --> 00:42:55,119 It's our responsibility to speak into this and to say, 740 00:42:55,280 --> 00:43:01,199 how are you developing your relationship with Jesus? How is 741 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:06,320 that growing for you? How are you changing in the 742 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:11,719 Holy Spirit? How are you changing in terms of your 743 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:17,679 daily thought life? How have your behaviors changed? Not your works, 744 00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,960 but your behaviors? How have your attitudes changed? Are you 745 00:43:21,119 --> 00:43:24,880 checking yourself for the signs of biblical love? Are you 746 00:43:25,039 --> 00:43:27,559 checking yourself that you're within the fruits of the spirit. 747 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:29,800 Are you looking out for the traps of the enemy? 748 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:31,400 You want a good test with them, you want a 749 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:36,840 really good test. Ask him this, what do you think 750 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:44,800 about Satan? Not to fetishize him, but if you're asking 751 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,519 someone who contends to follow the word of the Lord Jesus, 752 00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,480 and they're biblical and their attending church, and they've given 753 00:43:50,519 --> 00:43:52,719 their lives back to God, what do you think about Satan? 754 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:54,400 And if you get anything other than he's a liar, 755 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:58,239 thief and a murderer from the very beginning. If you 756 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,800 get that, I don't know, I don't know if I 757 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,599 believe in him, then you have someone who is not 758 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,840 even near the word of God. Ask a simple question 759 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,000 like this, do you think that Jesus is the only 760 00:44:11,039 --> 00:44:14,079 way to God? And if you get someone saying, you know, 761 00:44:14,159 --> 00:44:15,960 I know people believe that. I don't know if I do. 762 00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:20,599 They're not anywhere near even outside. They're not even at 763 00:44:20,599 --> 00:44:27,239 this point adolescent Christians. They're still children. Praise God, they're there. 764 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,639 But then you can understand the depth of the faith. 765 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:31,840 And if, by the way, this is just for clicks, 766 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:36,880 then congratulations, you guys done got the clicks.
