0:38
Speaker 1: Hey guys, welcome to the show today. I want to
0:41
Speaker 1: discuss a new TV series called Heated Rivalry and the
0:48
Speaker 1: reason it's on HBO Max, which I don't have. I
0:51
Speaker 1: haven't seen the show, but the reason I know about
0:55
Speaker 1: this show is because The New York Times not only
0:58
Speaker 1: did one article on it, but three and probably there's
1:02
Speaker 1: more coming. But first award from our sponsor. I also
1:06
Speaker 1: wanted to address this this TV show because in one
1:11
Speaker 1: of the articles it says that in one of the
1:14
Speaker 1: op ed pieces, it says that this new show, Heated
1:17
Speaker 1: Rivalry is revolutionary quote unquote because in my in what
1:23
Speaker 1: I in, these are my words, it takes LGBTQ indoctrination
1:28
Speaker 1: to the next level. And you'll you'll see why. I'll
1:31
Speaker 1: explain why so Heated Rivalry has become a breakout hit.
1:36
Speaker 1: This is from one of the op ed pieces. It's
1:40
Speaker 1: a hockey drama uh In Can't and set in Canada,
1:45
Speaker 1: adapted from an erotic romance novel for the Canadian streaming
1:49
Speaker 1: service Crave. It's also on HBO and it has this
1:55
Speaker 1: is what the op ed pieces. It has quote left
1:58
Speaker 1: gay men crying at watch parties that feel more like
2:03
Speaker 1: nineteenth century religious revivals. So this show apparently is so
2:10
Speaker 1: mind blowing. And you'll see why we get into it later,
2:15
Speaker 1: but it's so mind blowing that there are these watch
2:18
Speaker 1: parties and gay men are weeping because it's so intense.
2:23
Speaker 1: It's like a religious experience. It's a Catharsis. So by
2:28
Speaker 1: the way, I just I always say this, and I
2:31
Speaker 1: just want to say upfront, there, but for the grace
2:34
Speaker 1: of God, go I. I used to live this life,
2:38
Speaker 1: and I used I pitch TV shows that were gay
2:43
Speaker 1: themed to Hollywood producers. So I just wanted to clarify
2:48
Speaker 1: that that these as I talk about I've talked about
2:51
Speaker 1: so many times. It's like Plato's cave. These guys not
2:54
Speaker 1: only in the New York Times, but the guys who
2:57
Speaker 1: created the show and who are acting in the show
3:00
Speaker 1: and producing the show, they are all in the dark.
3:04
Speaker 1: They are in Plato's cave. They don't understand the truth,
3:08
Speaker 1: so of course they're just wandering, wandering around in the dark,
3:12
Speaker 1: trying to figure things out. And they think this is good.
3:15
Speaker 1: And The New York Times, of course loves what is
3:18
Speaker 1: evil and hates what is good all the time. I mean,
3:22
Speaker 1: they breathlessly publish these these various articles on this show
3:28
Speaker 1: because they want They they always want to to somehow,
3:34
Speaker 1: you know their Their Marxist agenda is to destroy the family,
3:38
Speaker 1: is to destroy civilization, is to destroy culture. The New
3:44
Speaker 1: York Times is a pure Marxist propaganda machine. So the
3:49
Speaker 1: article goes on to say, if you want to understand
3:53
Speaker 1: why this show has become our our communities equivalent of
3:56
Speaker 1: a cultural earthquake, the answer is that watching a gay
4:01
Speaker 1: couple being mildly boring and in love is still radical.
4:09
Speaker 1: So what makes this show revolutionary as opposed to like
4:13
Speaker 1: Will and Grace and all of the other like Modern
4:15
Speaker 1: Family and those shows, is this is your This is
4:20
Speaker 1: a show about a gay couple, and apparently the couple
4:23
Speaker 1: is boring and the love is quote still radical. So
4:28
Speaker 1: it's not like Will and Grace where it's like slapped
4:30
Speaker 1: stick comedy and we're gonna get into more about why
4:35
Speaker 1: what the difference is between those kinds of shows and
4:38
Speaker 1: this ago. The article goes on to say it during
4:43
Speaker 1: the season, two major Major league hockey stars Shane Hollander
4:48
Speaker 1: and Ilia Rosenoff fall for each other, moving from adversaries
4:53
Speaker 1: to soulmates. So basically, two guys on two different hockey
4:59
Speaker 1: teams end up in love with each other. It says.
5:01
Speaker 1: There are plenty of steamy locker room encounters and charged
5:06
Speaker 1: rendezvous in luxury penthouses, but in the season finale, which
5:10
Speaker 1: landed last week, the two men are secluded in an
5:14
Speaker 1: intimate cottage, grilling burgers, lying by firelight, taking daytime swims,
5:22
Speaker 1: scrolling through their phones on the sofa. Most chips are poisoned.
5:26
Speaker 1: They have artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, additives, and seed oils
5:32
Speaker 1: which are so toxic. My favorite chips in the world
5:37
Speaker 1: are Massa chips. They have three simple ingredients organic corn,
5:44
Speaker 1: grass fed beef, tallow and sea salt. That's it. And
5:48
Speaker 1: they come in amazing flavors. They have blue corn, they
5:54
Speaker 1: have white corn, they have cabanero, which is the kind
5:59
Speaker 1: of I see yummy one and this new one I
6:03
Speaker 1: haven't tried this yet, but it's Truro Massa Chips, which
6:07
Speaker 1: I can't wait to get into later tonight. And then
6:10
Speaker 1: this is my favorite, the lime flavored. These are so good.
6:14
Speaker 1: The chips are so healthy and they're crunchy, they're they're
6:19
Speaker 1: good for you, They're delicious. So go to Marshaschips dot

6:35
Speaker 1: is real delicious food, so good, I'm gonna eat the
6:39
Speaker 1: rest of this bag. I think the reason this is
6:41
Speaker 1: so revolutionary and such an earthquake, as it says, is
6:45
Speaker 1: this is kind of a quotidian portrait of gay men's lives,
6:50
Speaker 1: like a boring, mundane portrait of to gay men and love.
6:56
Speaker 1: And that's why it's so revolutionary, because I don't think
7:01
Speaker 1: this has ever been done on TV or even I'm
7:05
Speaker 1: not even sure if it's been done in movies. It's
7:07
Speaker 1: just like we are just the same as heterosexual couples.
7:11
Speaker 1: We are boring, we grill burgers, we scroll through our phones.
7:16
Speaker 1: Once again, this is normalizing homosexual behavior even more in
7:21
Speaker 1: the culture. And you know, obviously this is what happens
7:27
Speaker 1: is and we've seen this over the past ten years,
7:30
Speaker 1: if not twenty, is the culture embraces this, and then
7:34
Speaker 1: the church embraces this. And there are so many churches,
7:38
Speaker 1: so many Christians who are falling for this lie because
7:44
Speaker 1: the culture. I say this all the time. The culture
7:46
Speaker 1: is so powerful and it overwhelms Christians, even Christians, even
7:52
Speaker 1: solid Christians, and they end up caving to this lie
7:56
Speaker 1: that homosexual behavior is okay. And I've seen it happen
8:01
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. Pastors are falling for it.
8:07
Speaker 1: I know of a church right now in Los Angeles
8:09
Speaker 1: where half the congregants are gay affirming and half or not.
8:15
Speaker 1: But this is just the kind of the fallout of
8:19
Speaker 1: this kind of indoctrination. And that's why it's so important
8:22
Speaker 1: not only to be in the Word of God all
8:24
Speaker 1: the time. By the way, I just got this new
8:26
Speaker 1: Bible for Christmas and it's beautiful, it's real leather. I
8:31
Speaker 1: love it. But not only to be sorry to be
8:35
Speaker 1: in the Bible, but also pastors and Christian leaders need
8:41
Speaker 1: to Pastors need to shepherd the flock, and they are
8:46
Speaker 1: not doing many are, but a lot most I would
8:50
Speaker 1: say most pastors are not doing this job. And when
8:55
Speaker 1: the culture is coming out to you one hundred miles
8:56
Speaker 1: per hour, you need your pastor to speak on this issue.
9:02
Speaker 1: Otherwise you're going to be devoured by the lie. And
9:06
Speaker 1: so if you're I just urge you to talk to
9:12
Speaker 1: your pastor and urge him to discuss this issue and
9:18
Speaker 1: to do a sermon on this issue, or do several
9:20
Speaker 1: a sermon series on this issue and on LGBTQ issue
9:24
Speaker 1: in general. Okay, anyway, So it goes on to say
9:26
Speaker 1: culture has not kept up with queer people despite major
9:30
Speaker 1: political strides. Now that doesn't ring true. I see I
9:36
Speaker 1: live in Los Angeles and I see rainbow flags on
9:39
Speaker 1: every building in the city and all over the country.
9:42
Speaker 1: I'm sure. So it says culture has not kept up
9:44
Speaker 1: with queer people despite major political strides. Yeah, gay marriage.
9:50
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know where else you can go
9:53
Speaker 1: besides that. We'll be right back after this short break.
9:57
Speaker 1: It says legal victories, including marriage equality and growing social acceptance.
10:02
Speaker 1: Stories in art explicitly about queer life are being made,
10:06
Speaker 1: but they rarely find a wide gay audience. They're not
10:09
Speaker 1: typically embraced the way heated rivalry. This news TV show
10:14
Speaker 1: has been, and it goes on to talk about that
10:17
Speaker 1: movie Bros. Which was a I never saw it, but
10:21
Speaker 1: it was a movie by Billy Eichner that came out
10:25
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, and it was about two gay men.
10:27
Speaker 1: Kind of there. It was a rom com. That's what
10:30
Speaker 1: that's what the big deal was. It was a rom
10:31
Speaker 1: com with two gay men, which was kind of the
10:33
Speaker 1: first of its kind. And the writer of this article
10:36
Speaker 1: says early in the film, his character responds to someone
10:41
Speaker 1: who asserts that quote, gay and straight relationships are the same.
10:46
Speaker 1: Love is love is love. He snaps, quote love is
10:50
Speaker 1: love is love. No, it's not. It's a clarifying moment.
10:57
Speaker 1: The slogan that helped win us marriage equality also sanded
11:01
Speaker 1: down the edges of queer intimacy until it looks safe
11:04
Speaker 1: two straight eyes. So what this, what the writer is saying,
11:10
Speaker 1: is what this idea of love is love is love
11:14
Speaker 1: is not helpful because it sands down the edges. It
11:18
Speaker 1: kind of makes it safe and sands down the edges
11:22
Speaker 1: of quote queer intimacy. So it doesn't really show the
11:27
Speaker 1: kind of raw, gritty realness of homosexuality, which no one
11:33
Speaker 1: wants to see. So it goes on to say, for years,
11:36
Speaker 1: queer representation in mainstream culture was driven by a political imperative.
11:40
Speaker 1: We needed to be palatable, monogamous, and mortgage ready to
11:45
Speaker 1: be tolerated. So that's that's what he's saying. He's saying
11:50
Speaker 1: that Bros. That that movie Bros. Was kind of showing
11:55
Speaker 1: a gay couple as palatable, monogamous, and mortgage ready so
11:59
Speaker 1: they could be tolerated. And it goes on to say,
12:03
Speaker 1: you could see the impulse in Will and Grace, where
12:05
Speaker 1: queerness was By the way, can we just stop with
12:08
Speaker 1: the word queerness. It's so ugly. It's such an ugly word.
12:15
Speaker 1: It doesn't even make any sense why the gay community
12:19
Speaker 1: would adopt this word queer. Anyway. You could see this
12:23
Speaker 1: impulse in Will and Grace, where queerness was domesticated through
12:27
Speaker 1: friendship and slapstick, and later in Modern Family, where the
12:31
Speaker 1: suburban gay couple were beloved precisely because they reassured straight
12:36
Speaker 1: viewers that nothing about them was too strange, too erotic,
12:42
Speaker 1: or too much. A lot of what is being produced
12:47
Speaker 1: about gay men even now replicates a straight world in
12:51
Speaker 1: rainbow colors. I don't know about I don't know about
12:56
Speaker 1: this assessment. I mean, we've been flooded, not stop with
13:01
Speaker 1: gay TV and movies, with LGBTQ television programming. So it's
13:08
Speaker 1: basically it's again, it's saying that these shows like Will
13:15
Speaker 1: and Grace and Modern Family have have not really shown
13:20
Speaker 1: what real gay men are like. And again, I don't
13:24
Speaker 1: think the world wants to see that because I know
13:28
Speaker 1: what that world is and it's very dark. And if
13:35
Speaker 1: I think if if the world really saw that, that
13:38
Speaker 1: world of hookups and grinder and bathhouses, et cetera, they
13:45
Speaker 1: would be revolted. So it goes on to say, maybe
13:49
Speaker 1: what we ache for now is not culture built to
13:52
Speaker 1: serve a political end, but a focus on the intimate
13:56
Speaker 1: someone on top of us breaking down in tears as
13:59
Speaker 1: he confesses his love. What is turning us on is
14:03
Speaker 1: not the thrill of naked bodies, but the shock of
14:05
Speaker 1: being emotionally known. That is what some of us have
14:09
Speaker 1: been missing. I don't really know how that's been missing
14:13
Speaker 1: in the culture. I mean, it's just I mean, just
14:17
Speaker 1: watch Broke Back Mountain or The Manifold, other shows or movies,
14:22
Speaker 1: and it goes on to say that The literary critic
14:25
Speaker 1: Richard Ka has argued that flirtation has long been central
14:29
Speaker 1: to Western literature. A series a serious erotic mode in
14:33
Speaker 1: novels from Jane Austin to and Forrester. Seeing that tradition
14:38
Speaker 1: evolve on screen between two men, not as subtext but
14:42
Speaker 1: as text feels like a revolution. So this show Heated
14:48
Speaker 1: Rivalry is heated rivalry. It's hard to say that is
14:53
Speaker 1: based on a novel from a woman. And it's saying
14:58
Speaker 1: that seeing because like in the Ian Forrester Ian Forster novels,
15:03
Speaker 1: or Jane Austin novels, but especially Ian Forrester, and those
15:06
Speaker 1: were turned into movies in the eighties, a lot of them,
15:10
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking of Morris as one prime example, But
15:15
Speaker 1: it was kind of this like and even Evelyn Waugh's
15:19
Speaker 1: novel Brides Had Revisited was turned into a TV series
15:23
Speaker 1: and it was kind of like not quite clear if
15:28
Speaker 1: they were actually if the two guys were actually romantically involved,
15:33
Speaker 1: or if it was just like a college kind of
15:37
Speaker 1: crush or and and in Morris it was it was
15:41
Speaker 1: all kind of like it was all furtive and sort
15:44
Speaker 1: of surreptitious, and so it was never like explicit in
15:50
Speaker 1: these novels or movies or TV shows what was going on.
15:54
Speaker 1: So what what this guy, what the writer of this
15:57
Speaker 1: article is saying, is seeing the edition of this kind
16:02
Speaker 1: of novel turned into a TV show on screen between
16:07
Speaker 1: two men, seeing it as you know, as kind of
16:13
Speaker 1: just totally in your face and reel is feels like
16:18
Speaker 1: a revolution. And he goes on to say what feels
16:21
Speaker 1: especially new is the way that flirtation becomes true intimacy
16:26
Speaker 1: when another player in the league comes out by kissing
16:29
Speaker 1: his partner on the ice, a game changer in every sense.
16:33
Speaker 1: Shane's phone rings, Ilia tells him he's coming to Shane's
16:38
Speaker 1: secluded lakeside cottage. Not for a night, not for a
16:42
Speaker 1: post game hookup. He's choosing to step into Shane's life,
16:47
Speaker 1: transforming their years long relationship into something with a future.
16:51
Speaker 1: And again I've talked about this, the idea of gay
16:56
Speaker 1: especially gay male monogamy, is a fiction. I'm sure it
17:02
Speaker 1: happens in some small circles. I'm sure it happens. You know,
17:06
Speaker 1: there's a tiny percentage of gay male relationships that are monogamous.
17:11
Speaker 1: But from my experience, from others, friends of mine, experiences,
17:17
Speaker 1: et cetera, gay men, there is constant infidelity constant hookups
17:22
Speaker 1: even while in relationships. I've referenced this before, but I
17:27
Speaker 1: have an old friend of mine is married to a
17:30
Speaker 1: man and they have kids, and they have an open relationship.
17:37
Speaker 1: I know for a fact that one of the guys
17:39
Speaker 1: in the relationship literally, I mean, this isn't the seventies,
17:43
Speaker 1: this is twenty twenty six. One of the guys in
17:49
Speaker 1: the relationship literally goes to bath houses. I don't even know.
17:53
Speaker 1: I didn't know they still existed, but I guess they do.
17:56
Speaker 1: Still goes to bath houses to hook up with strain,
18:01
Speaker 1: like multiple times a week. So again, this idea of
18:08
Speaker 1: kind of a year's long relationship and this kind of
18:12
Speaker 1: monogamy idea is a fiction. And then it goes on
18:15
Speaker 1: to say heated rivalry resonates because it embodies our lives.
18:21
Speaker 1: After the religious rite pathologized us during the HIV AIDS crisis,
18:26
Speaker 1: we reclaim the sex story by reviving bathhouses and sex parties,
18:32
Speaker 1: by unapologetically embracing hookup culture on apps like Grinder, by
18:37
Speaker 1: celebrating eroticism in our fashion and nightlife, and slowly we
18:41
Speaker 1: became more visible in family and life, family life, and work.
18:45
Speaker 1: There are queer politicians and lawyers, olympians and celebrities. But
18:50
Speaker 1: representation is not the same thing as intimacy. We still
18:53
Speaker 1: need more stories about us, our relationships, our romances, our desires,
19:00
Speaker 1: and so of course this op ed piece attacks Christians,
19:06
Speaker 1: or the religious right as they call it, for pathologizing
19:11
Speaker 1: gays during the HIV AIDS crisis. No, there wasn't a
19:16
Speaker 1: pathologizing of it. It was just I've talked about this before,
19:22
Speaker 1: and I lived through that crisis. I was in high
19:26
Speaker 1: school when it started, and I just remember, I remember
19:32
Speaker 1: that gay men. And even when the AIDS crisis was
19:39
Speaker 1: first discovered, when it was discovered what the disease was
19:45
Speaker 1: in nineteen I think it was nineteen eighty one eighty two,
19:48
Speaker 1: it was called GRID Gay related Immune deficiency, and they
19:51
Speaker 1: changed it to AIDS. Even after that and still to
19:55
Speaker 1: this day, there is absolutely a disregard for safe sex.
20:02
Speaker 1: So the idea of like the religious right pathologizing HIV,
20:08
Speaker 1: pathologizing gays during HIV AIDS crisis, it's like, no, you
20:13
Speaker 1: were pathologizing yourselves, like you were pathologically going out and
20:20
Speaker 1: continuing this behavior that was clearly ending in horrendous deaths.
20:28
Speaker 1: It's not the religious right that is pathologizing it. And
20:32
Speaker 1: again I remember during that time, gays, that's when Act UP,
20:39
Speaker 1: that gay radical group, activist group organized and it was
20:44
Speaker 1: led by Larry Kramer, and they were, you know, furious
20:47
Speaker 1: at Ronald Reagan for not addressing HIV AIDS. And I
20:55
Speaker 1: just remember as at that time, when I was living
20:58
Speaker 1: at that time, I remember thinking, why are the gays
21:02
Speaker 1: blaming Ronald Reagan for their behavior? I don't understand. I mean,
21:07
Speaker 1: it's like, take responsibility for your behavior and don't go
21:11
Speaker 1: to bath houses and have sex with strangers. Like it's
21:17
Speaker 1: it's very obvious, but they wanted to blame Ronald Reagan
21:21
Speaker 1: for that. And then the last thing he says in
21:23
Speaker 1: this op ed piece is we do not need more
21:26
Speaker 1: stories to prove that we exist. True, we know that
21:30
Speaker 1: you exist. We're very well aware of that. We need
21:34
Speaker 1: stories that capture how we live in the touch, the embrace,
21:39
Speaker 1: the everyday, if boring intimacies that we never meant to
21:44
Speaker 1: be translated. And this is the last line of the article.
21:49
Speaker 1: Our next frontier is not mere acceptance but depth. So, okay,
21:57
Speaker 1: there's not enough acceptance of there's not an enough LGBTQ
22:02
Speaker 1: acceptance and culture now we need to go to depth.
22:07
Speaker 1: This is just absurd, it's absolutely insane. Before I get
22:11
Speaker 1: into the next couple articles, which I'm just going to
22:14
Speaker 1: briefly touch briefly touch on, I just want to remind
22:16
Speaker 1: you I've talked about that. I've done an episode on
22:18
Speaker 1: this book called After the Ball. The subtitle is How
22:23
Speaker 1: America Will Conquer America, How America Will conquer its fear
22:29
Speaker 1: and hatred of gays in the nineties. And I just
22:31
Speaker 1: want to read you just to remind you because this manifesto,
22:36
Speaker 1: it's a very thick book, this manifesto, everything in it
22:40
Speaker 1: has come true. It was published in nineteen eighty nine,
22:44
Speaker 1: I believe, and every single thing has come Yeah, nineteen
22:52
Speaker 1: eighty nine has come true. So I just want to
22:54
Speaker 1: remind you of a couple of quotes from this book.
22:59
Speaker 1: Gay must launch a large scale campaign. We've called it
23:03
Speaker 1: the Waging Peace Campaign to reach straight through the mainstream media.
23:09
Speaker 1: We're talking about propaganda. Okay, well that's true. Second, he says,
23:20
Speaker 1: he goes on to say, and by the way, the
23:22
Speaker 1: authors of this book are Hunter Matson and Marshall Kirk,
23:27
Speaker 1: and they're both Harvard grads, both homosexuals. And another quote
23:33
Speaker 1: is first propaganda relies more. This is very important because
23:38
Speaker 1: this is where Christians are falling for this. They're falling
23:41
Speaker 1: for it because of the emotional manipulation. He says, first
23:46
Speaker 1: propaganda relies more upon emotional manipulation than upon logic, since
23:52
Speaker 1: its goal is in fact, to bring about a change
23:55
Speaker 1: in the public's feelings. So notice they even admit that
24:00
Speaker 1: that this it has to be emotional manipulation. You can't
24:05
Speaker 1: just kind of go out and give a statement of
24:08
Speaker 1: facts or a manifesto. You have to manipulate people through
24:13
Speaker 1: their emotions. And that has happened so dramatically in the
24:18
Speaker 1: last fifteen twenty years through TV and movies even longer
24:22
Speaker 1: maybe if they're twenty five years and it is and
24:27
Speaker 1: it's worked. I don't know what the percentage is, but
24:30
Speaker 1: I'm sure over half the country has a good view,
24:35
Speaker 1: has a high view or good view of homosexual homosexuality.
24:39
Speaker 1: And I don't know about in the Christian world with
24:42
Speaker 1: the percentages, but I'm sure it's very high. I'm sure
24:45
Speaker 1: there are many people in my church who are gay
24:50
Speaker 1: firming and don't even know why they are, because we
24:52
Speaker 1: just we're just swimming in this. We're swimming in the
24:59
Speaker 1: gay solt water of the ocean and or just absorbing
25:04
Speaker 1: it by osmosis, and we don't understand. And then we
25:08
Speaker 1: don't understand, like, whoa, why why is everyone falling for
25:13
Speaker 1: this lie? Well, because it's all around us and it's constant,
25:19
Speaker 1: so and the emotional manipulation is real. So then they
25:23
Speaker 1: go on to say, the main thing is to talk
25:27
Speaker 1: about gayness until the issue becomes thoroughly tiresome. Are you
25:34
Speaker 1: guys tired, I'm pretty tired of this issue? Okay? And
25:44
Speaker 1: then it goes on to say, in any campaign to
25:46
Speaker 1: win over the public, gays must be portrayed as victims
25:50
Speaker 1: in need of protection, so that straits will be inclined
25:53
Speaker 1: by reflex to adopt the role of protector. Now, this
25:57
Speaker 1: is big with women because women are naturally nurturers. They
26:02
Speaker 1: naturally want to protect, and so I think a lot
26:09
Speaker 1: of women. I don't know, I don't know what the
26:11
Speaker 1: percentage is again, but I think more women fall for
26:13
Speaker 1: this than men, or cave to this than men do
26:16
Speaker 1: because they see a movie, they see a TV show,
26:20
Speaker 1: or or their child comes out as gay or whatever,
26:24
Speaker 1: and they're so emotionally tied up into it that they
26:31
Speaker 1: adopt the role as protector and then become gay affirming.
26:34
Speaker 1: I've seen it happen over and over and over again.
26:36
Speaker 1: I had I've talked about this before. I had a
26:38
Speaker 1: friend who whose family was just solid Christian family, super solid,
26:44
Speaker 1: and as soon as the sun came out as gay,
26:48
Speaker 1: everyone in the family became gay affirming. And they think
26:52
Speaker 1: that that's loving, And it's actually the most hateful thing
26:54
Speaker 1: you can do, because you're leading someone down a path
26:56
Speaker 1: of destruction and eternal conscious torm. So it is not
27:02
Speaker 1: loving to be gay affirming. Ever, it's the most loving
27:08
Speaker 1: thing you can do is speak the truth, and speak
27:13
Speaker 1: the truth in love. Jesus in the Gospels. I talk
27:16
Speaker 1: about this before. Jesus in the Gospels always interacted with
27:20
Speaker 1: tax collectors and sinners and prostitutes, but he and he
27:23
Speaker 1: did it in such a loving way. But he also
27:27
Speaker 1: spoke truth to the and he he spoke the truth
27:30
Speaker 1: to them, and it is they who went away changed,
27:33
Speaker 1: not Jesus. It's important to not cave on this issue,
27:37
Speaker 1: to stand your ground, to hold the line, to be
27:40
Speaker 1: like Shadrack Mishak in the bed, and to go in
27:42
Speaker 1: Babylon in a culture that was just like our culture,
27:47
Speaker 1: and to be willing to go into a fiery furnace
27:49
Speaker 1: rather than compromise God's word by one iota. Oh, and
27:53
Speaker 1: this is the last quote I'm going to use from
27:56
Speaker 1: the book. We argue that for all practical purposes, gay
28:00
Speaker 1: should be considered to have been born gay, even though
28:05
Speaker 1: sexual orientation for most humans seems to be the product
28:09
Speaker 1: of a complex interaction between innate predispositions and environmental factors
28:15
Speaker 1: during childhood and early adolescens. So do you see how
28:23
Speaker 1: we've become brainwashed into believing that it's you're born this way?
28:29
Speaker 1: That this is a was a concerted effort from nineteen
28:33
Speaker 1: eighty nine and even before that to convince people that
28:38
Speaker 1: gays are born this way. And you know, Lady Gaga
28:42
Speaker 1: of course chanted that over and over again and her
28:45
Speaker 1: hideous song. So so that's a lie. It's a lie.
28:49
Speaker 1: And I've done episodes with doctor Nicolosi and you can
28:53
Speaker 1: watch those about what the truth is behind that. So
28:56
Speaker 1: that's after the ball. And now I want to look
28:59
Speaker 1: at a couple of other articles, just very briefly on
29:03
Speaker 1: the same TV show called Heated Rivalry on HBO. So
29:08
Speaker 1: the next article is called heated rivalry. It's really hard
29:12
Speaker 1: to say that word. Heated rivalry scores big with hockey
29:16
Speaker 1: and sects adapted from romance novels, This Canadian series has
29:21
Speaker 1: been a surprise hit for HBO Max. It's been at
29:25
Speaker 1: the near the top of the most watched series list
29:29
Speaker 1: on HBO Max and again it says, bars have been
29:32
Speaker 1: packed for hosting parties to watch this show, especially the
29:39
Speaker 1: season finale. It says this article says a big reason
29:42
Speaker 1: the show caught fire is the abundance of furtive and
29:46
Speaker 1: enthusiastic hookups between its leading characters, the cocky Russian born
29:50
Speaker 1: Ilia and the collected Canadian Shane. The scenes might be
29:56
Speaker 1: considered too hot for streaming TV where not for the
30:00
Speaker 1: carefully positioned thighs. Let me just repeat that, because this
30:06
Speaker 1: is the most absurd sentence I've ever heard in the
30:09
Speaker 1: history of in writing. The scenes might be considered too
30:14
Speaker 1: hot for streaming TV were it not for a carefully
30:19
Speaker 1: positioned thighs. I'm just going to leave that with you,
30:24
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to talk about that because it's
30:27
Speaker 1: so absurd. So the third, the last article on the show,
30:32
Speaker 1: the title is hit show Heated Rivalry became a TV phenomenon,
30:37
Speaker 1: can it change hockey culture? So this article was actually
30:41
Speaker 1: in the sports section of the New York Times, because
30:45
Speaker 1: of course they're excited about this too. Apparently the hockey
30:50
Speaker 1: the NHL is very quote unquote homophobic. So this is
30:55
Speaker 1: what it says. It talks about this guy, Harrison Brown,
30:58
Speaker 1: who has a minor role on this show, and Harrison
31:02
Speaker 1: Brown as transgender in real life. Brown underwent a medical
31:07
Speaker 1: transition after playing three seasons in the National Women's Hockey League.
31:13
Speaker 1: So this woman who was playing in the National Women's
31:18
Speaker 1: Hockey League became a man apparently and is now on
31:23
Speaker 1: this show or appears on the show, has a minor role.
31:27
Speaker 1: It talks about the show and the show raises questions
31:31
Speaker 1: and criticisms about the sports failures when it comes to
31:35
Speaker 1: the inclusion of LGBTQ plus community. So again, apparently the
31:42
Speaker 1: National Hockey League believes that a man and a woman
31:47
Speaker 1: go together. They actually believe just reality. And then it
31:52
Speaker 1: says mega pop star Miley Cyrus wants to make music
31:56
Speaker 1: for the show's next season. What a surprise. Just wickedness
32:01
Speaker 1: after Wickedness. It goes on to say the NHL banned
32:05
Speaker 1: Pride Night jerseys and rainbow color tape. In October twenty
32:08
Speaker 1: twenty three, months after some players opted out of their
32:12
Speaker 1: team's Pride Night festivals. Why do these sports teams have
32:18
Speaker 1: to have Pride Night festivals? It's like, it's so absurd.
32:24
Speaker 1: After then, Arizona Coyotes defenseman Travis Dermott defied the band
32:29
Speaker 1: by covering his stick and rainbow tape during a game,
32:32
Speaker 1: the NHL reversed its tape ban. Oh thank god for that,
32:38
Speaker 1: but special jerseys still can't be worn in commemoration of
32:42
Speaker 1: specialty nights, including Pride Night. Wow. I mean, so, the
32:50
Speaker 1: whole argument back in the day was for gays was
32:54
Speaker 1: you know, we just we just want to be tolerated.
32:57
Speaker 1: We just want, you know, to be able to live
32:59
Speaker 1: our lives, blah blah blah. But that's not that that
33:04
Speaker 1: is not what the real agenda was. I hate using
33:08
Speaker 1: that word agenda, But the real agenda was to dominate
33:13
Speaker 1: the culture and to cancel anyone who speaks out against it.
33:18
Speaker 1: To you know, if you're on the team and you
33:24
Speaker 1: don't want to participate, if you're on a sports team
33:26
Speaker 1: and you don't want to participate in this, then you
33:28
Speaker 1: are fired. Canceled, ridiculed, mocked, slandered. It says there have
33:38
Speaker 1: never been any openly gay players in the NHL. Why
33:42
Speaker 1: does there have to be? I don't understand that. Why
33:45
Speaker 1: does there have to be? Finally, somebody created a healthy
33:49
Speaker 1: version of Gatorade, and it happens to be Josh who
33:52
Speaker 1: works on this show, and it's called Sport drink. Comes
33:58
Speaker 1: in two flavors, no yellow, five lemon, lime and orange.
34:04
Speaker 1: You glad it's not chemicals and this is the cleanest
34:10
Speaker 1: electrolyte drink available on the market. I promise you. There's
34:13
Speaker 1: no chemicals, no fake ingredients. It's everything you need, nothing
34:17
Speaker 1: you don't. And it comes in these cans, these steel cans,
34:22
Speaker 1: and you just take a scoop of the powder, put
34:24
Speaker 1: it in your water at home, mix it up and
34:26
Speaker 1: you have your sports drink for the day. And the
34:29
Speaker 1: steel can is more recyclable than plastic and there's no
34:33
Speaker 1: microplastic exposure. Gatorade uses high fruit dose corn syrup, which
34:40
Speaker 1: is terrible for you, terrible. I can't express how terrible
34:44
Speaker 1: it is. And neurotoxic dyes. They use these artificial dyes
34:50
Speaker 1: in their drinks, which why would you want that in
34:52
Speaker 1: your body, it's terrible for you. So go to sport
34:57
Speaker 1: Dash Drink dot com. That's sport drink dot com. And
35:02
Speaker 1: when you go to the checkout, put in the code
35:04
Speaker 1: Beckett and you'll get ten percent off. That's sport Dash
35:07
Speaker 1: Drink dot Com. You're gonna love it, and your body's
35:11
Speaker 1: gonna love it too. When I was coming of age,
35:15
Speaker 1: I think that the eighties and the in the early
35:19
Speaker 1: nineties was kind of like the perfect balance of what, how,
35:23
Speaker 1: how homosexuality should be kind of accepted in the culture.
35:31
Speaker 1: It was still tab Taboos are good. Taboos keep society together.
35:38
Speaker 1: Taboos keep civilization together. If you have no taboos, you
35:43
Speaker 1: you lose your civilization. That's what happened in Rome, and
35:49
Speaker 1: that's what's happening to the to the West. Now there
35:53
Speaker 1: are no more were We almost have no taboos left
35:56
Speaker 1: except maybe bestiality. But taboos are very good. And it
36:01
Speaker 1: says that there were no openly gay guys in the NHL,
36:07
Speaker 1: which is a good thing. And I mean, I think
36:11
Speaker 1: it comes down to this idea of donas don't tell
36:15
Speaker 1: that that I think is kind of the way I
36:21
Speaker 1: think that it should be handled in the culture. Basically
36:25
Speaker 1: like we're not gonna criminalize it, we're not gonna throw
36:29
Speaker 1: you in prison, we're not gonna throw you whatever. But this,
36:35
Speaker 1: but just donas don't tell like, let's just not make
36:40
Speaker 1: a big fuss about this, and let's not paint every
36:44
Speaker 1: street walk with a rainbow flag. So I just want
36:48
Speaker 1: to end with a couple of passages from the Bible
36:52
Speaker 1: and relate it to this issue. The most famous verse
36:56
Speaker 1: in the Bible, John three to sixteen, for God so
36:58
Speaker 1: loved the world that he gave his only on that
37:00
Speaker 1: whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
37:03
Speaker 1: But just three verses later, it says, and this is
37:07
Speaker 1: the judgment. The light has come into the world. And
37:10
Speaker 1: people loved the darkness rather than the light because their
37:14
Speaker 1: works were evil. The New York Times loves the darkness
37:20
Speaker 1: rather than the light because their works are evil. For
37:24
Speaker 1: everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does
37:28
Speaker 1: not come to the light lest his work should be exposed.
37:30
Speaker 1: But whoever does what is true comes to the light,
37:34
Speaker 1: so that it may be clearly seen that his works
37:37
Speaker 1: have been carried out in God. And I just want
37:41
Speaker 1: to look at Romans one. Yes, the dreaded Romans one
37:47
Speaker 1: and just kind of just look at the passage briefly.
37:52
Speaker 1: So it's Paul is talking and he says, and he's
37:56
Speaker 1: talking about God's wrath on unrighteousness passage in the second
38:01
Speaker 1: part of Roman's Ion. He says, for although they knew God,
38:04
Speaker 1: they did not honor him as God or give thanks
38:06
Speaker 1: to him. But they became feutile in their thinking, and
38:09
Speaker 1: their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they
38:12
Speaker 1: became fools in exchanged the glory of the immortal God
38:15
Speaker 1: for images resembling mortal man, birds, blah, blah blah. Therefore,
38:20
Speaker 1: God gave them up to the lust of their hearts,
38:22
Speaker 1: to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves,
38:26
Speaker 1: because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie,
38:28
Speaker 1: and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator
38:31
Speaker 1: Who's blessed. Ever, for this reason, God gave them up
38:36
Speaker 1: to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for
38:41
Speaker 1: those that are contrary to nature. And the men likewise
38:43
Speaker 1: gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with
38:47
Speaker 1: passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men
38:52
Speaker 1: and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. Now,
38:56
Speaker 1: this is the point of this whole. The reason I'm
38:59
Speaker 1: bringing up this passage is this last part. Since they
39:03
Speaker 1: did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them
39:07
Speaker 1: up to a debase mine to do what ought not
39:10
Speaker 1: to be done. So God not only has God given
39:14
Speaker 1: up homosexuals to a debate mind, but He's also given
39:17
Speaker 1: up the world. He's given up the New York Times
39:20
Speaker 1: to a debase mind. They were filled with all manner
39:24
Speaker 1: of unrighteousness, evil, coveteousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness.
39:31
Speaker 1: Their gossips. By the way, the New York Times, I
39:35
Speaker 1: literally have counted in the New York Times. I would
39:41
Speaker 1: say ninety percent or maybe even ninety five percent of
39:45
Speaker 1: the articles every day in the New York Times is gossip.
39:50
Speaker 1: It's literally like some you know, some woman in North
39:55
Speaker 1: Carolina lost her doll or what. It's just like, it's like,
40:00
Speaker 1: why do why do I need to know this information?
40:05
Speaker 1: This is just God, You're just gossiping or you know
40:07
Speaker 1: so and so in Florida was arrested for blah blah blah.
40:11
Speaker 1: It's like that that's literally gossip. You're gossiping about someone
40:16
Speaker 1: that it doesn't affect anyone's lives, Why are you talking
40:20
Speaker 1: about it? So the New York Times is it's just
40:23
Speaker 1: a gossip mill. It's basically like the National Inquirer. That's
40:26
Speaker 1: what it is, but you know, dressed up to pretend
40:30
Speaker 1: it's like it's a it's elite. So they are gossip slanders,
40:35
Speaker 1: haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient
40:39
Speaker 1: to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. And this is the key.
40:43
Speaker 1: Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice
40:47
Speaker 1: such things deserve to die, they not only do them,
40:50
Speaker 1: but give approval. They give approval to those who practice them.
40:57
Speaker 1: So the New York Times is very much guilty, and
41:02
Speaker 1: most cultural institutions are guilty of giving approval to those
41:07
Speaker 1: who practice such things. Yeah, so I just wanted to
41:12
Speaker 1: touch on this new TV show. And I mean, I'm
41:16
Speaker 1: assuming no one who's watching this show is watching that show,
41:21
Speaker 1: and I just want to urge everyone who's watching not
41:27
Speaker 1: to please I know people who watch my show are
41:31
Speaker 1: probably not in this, not in danger of this, but
41:35
Speaker 1: to please not fall for the lie, the lies of
41:39
Speaker 1: the culture. I always say when I speak to young people,
41:43
Speaker 1: I say, the world is going to lie to you
41:46
Speaker 1: for the rest of your natural life. And you can
41:48
Speaker 1: either believe in the world, you believe what the world says,
41:52
Speaker 1: which leads to death and destruction, or believe the Word,
41:57
Speaker 1: which leads to life. So we're gonna leave it there.
42:01
Speaker 1: Thank you for watching, and we'll see you next time.
