Boycotts, Buycotts, and a Faith-Driven Economy · Worldview Matters With David Fiorazo

• 0:00
  Welcome to World View Matters, discussing controversial issues, discerning current events,
• 0:10
  defending biblical Christianity.
• 0:13
  No topic, off limits.
• 0:16
  And now, here's your host, David Firazzo.
• 0:19
  Hey guys, welcome to the show.
• 0:21
  We are talking again with the busy mom, Heidi, St. John, and we're thankful to hear her
• 0:28
  voice again and just have her contribute to World View Matters.
• 0:31
  Heidi, good to connect with you there on the West Coast.
• 0:34
  Hey my friend, it's great to be here.
• 0:37
  Thanks for having me back, always exciting talking to you.
• 0:40
  Yeah, it's fun.
• 0:41
  We did some radio last week.
• 0:42
  You were a co-hosting, or you were hosting guest hosting a show.
• 0:46
  And was it Portland?
• 0:47
  Yes, so the Portland Seattle rush hour traffic time, we got to do that for a couple of
• 0:53
  hours.
• 0:54
  So it was a lot of fun.
• 0:55
  I enjoyed it.
• 0:56
  You were a good host or peace in the podcast.
• 0:58
  Yeah, it is.
• 0:59
  Well, let's jump right into things today since we're limited on time, and we have a lot
• 1:02
  of topics.
• 1:03
  You were recently talking about target and boycotts.
• 1:07
  Or buycotts.
• 1:10
  Supporting businesses that you agree with their values, they agree with yours, and boycotting
• 1:14
  those businesses like target, Disney, whoever else, share a little bit about that for our listeners
• 1:20
  for our viewers.
• 1:21
  Yeah, well, I mean, the statistics are in, right?
• 1:25
  The fourth quarter earnings are coming in.
• 1:27
  Third quarter earnings have already been looked at for target and Disney and a lot of these
• 1:32
  other vote corporations, Bud Light.
• 1:34
  And guess what?
• 1:35
  You guys, your boycotts are working.
• 1:37
  That's what I want people to know.
• 1:38
  I heard a lot of people say it doesn't matter.
• 1:41
  We're never going to impact their bottom line.
• 1:42
  We're absolutely impacting their bottom line to the point where the target CEO took to
• 1:48
  the news the other day to try to defend it and then blatantly lied.
• 1:53
  He said that it wasn't true that they were putting tech friendly swimming suits out
• 1:56
  in front of children and promoting sexual ideology.
• 1:59
  He said it wasn't true that they had partnered with a satanist who was promoting target's
• 2:05
  pronoun merchandise.
• 2:07
  All of those things are verifiably true.
• 2:11
  So the fact that the CEO has to take to the news and lie about whether or not these boycotts
• 2:16
  are impacting them tells you that they're absolutely working.
• 2:19
  So let's talk more about what target was doing.
• 2:22
  Boycotts might work because they see the bottom line, the dollar.
• 2:26
  And they're going to make some changes when it comes to their stores.
• 2:28
  It's not going to change their worldview necessarily or their corporate policies, but
• 2:32
  it will change what they're putting out there in front of kids.
• 2:36
  And Heidi, I believe since about 2012, they have, they've had an LGBTQ section in their
• 2:42
  stores and online.
• 2:44
  And recently, I mean, last year or even earlier this year, they had some transgender pair
• 2:49
  of familiar.
• 2:50
  So have you heard that that stuff is going away?
• 2:55
  So I don't think it's going to go.
• 2:56
  I mean, they haven't learned their lesson entirely and listen to targets gotten themselves
• 2:59
  into a pretty bad spot because there are a lot of people like me who is like, listen,
• 3:04
  I don't like going into that store anymore.
• 3:05
  As soon as they said, you know, we're going to open up our bathrooms to whatever you identify
• 3:10
  as you don't have, there's no safeguards in place for young girls or women or children
• 3:15
  that go into these bathrooms with grown men who have a delusional fantasy that they
• 3:20
  are women.
• 3:21
  So the target lost my business when they made that decision, but they have compounded
• 3:27
  their financial woes by really promoting their pride wear, right?
• 3:32
  You go, I mean, they've ruined the month of June, right?
• 3:34
  So you walk into target in the month of June and the take pride hashtag is there, but
• 3:39
  they really, really, really hurt themselves.
• 3:42
  I think this year because they started promoting not just homosexual behavior and trying to
• 3:47
  encourage little children to wear, you know, t-shirts and shoes and bags and buttons that
• 3:54
  promote homosexuality.
• 3:56
  This year they went so far as to promote what they call tuck friendly swimming wear for
• 4:02
  boys.
• 4:03
  So, so there are some things to say look like girl swimming suits, but they're designed
• 4:06
  to hide the genitals of young boys to tuck them under so that these young boys can pretend
• 4:12
  to be girls.
• 4:13
  It's shocking.
• 4:14
  It's disgusting.
• 4:15
  And it's backfiring because parents, I think, finally, were like, oh, hey, yeah, no,
• 4:20
  we don't, we don't want to do that.
• 4:21
  And so everybody knows that target's doing this.
• 4:23
  So for them to say they're not doing it is laughable at this point because we've all been
• 4:28
  into their stores and videotape it.
• 4:31
  And it's getting out there, fortunately, and it is making a difference.
• 4:34
  So boycotts, work, friends, just don't ever give up on that.
• 4:39
  And I want to talk a little bit about what else is coming up because of the delusion.
• 4:44
  This just leads to some more demonic ideas, activity, and one of them is the idea that
• 4:50
  men can be pregnant.
• 4:51
  They're now doing uterus transplants for transgender women, which is a man that's getting a uterus
• 4:59
  so that he can try to have a baby.
• 5:01
  But Jeff, bring up that photo of the, there it is, the glamour cover.
• 5:05
  Heidi, do you see this?
• 5:06
  Yeah.
• 5:07
  Yeah, I just put that, I just put that on my Instagram.
• 5:10
  Okay.
• 5:11
  So you can talk.
• 5:12
  Now this is where we are.
• 5:13
  I don't know who Logan Brown is, but look at the lies.
• 5:16
  Remember Oprah had the so-called first pregnant man on her show.
• 5:20
  She contributed big time to the delusion.
• 5:22
  What are your thoughts, Heidi?
• 5:23
  Well, it's disgusting, right?
• 5:25
  So the guy who's on the cover of Glamour Magazine that you guys were just showing, his
• 5:29
  name's Logan Brown, he has a brand new book out that they're marketing to children called
• 5:33
  in my daddy's belly, where he talks about his pregnancy, her pregnancy, really.
• 5:40
  Because newsflash, this isn't actually that, this is not actually that amazing.
• 5:44
  This is a biological woman who gets pregnant.
• 5:47
  Yeah.
• 5:48
  That's the story.
• 5:49
  That's the literal story.
• 5:50
  Big, fat, hairy deal.
• 5:51
  There's the headline.
• 5:52
  Women have babies, right?
• 5:54
  Right.
• 5:55
  You know what should be the headline?
• 5:57
  This woman is injuring her unborn child by taking male hormones while she's pregnant.
• 6:04
  That should be the headline.
• 6:05
  The headline should be that her little baby in utero is awash in transgender and cross-sex
• 6:12
  hormones.
• 6:13
  We are talking about injuring an unborn developing child right now in his or her mother's womb,
• 6:19
  and this crazy person thinks that she is a man.
• 6:23
  Obviously, she's not a man because newsflash men don't get pregnant.
• 6:28
  Men can't have babies.
• 6:29
  Men don't have periods.
• 6:30
  I saw another, what we've done is, you know, in the erasing of truth, we're not talking
• 6:37
  about truth anymore because truth is however you feel, David.
• 6:39
  It's whatever you, it's whatever you feel.
• 6:42
  And so we need to get back to talking about what is demonstrably true and what is demonstrably
• 6:47
  real.
• 6:48
  There is a real biological difference between men and women.
• 6:52
  Gender, there's no place in biology for gender.
• 6:55
  Gender exists only in the mind, right?
• 6:57
  We need to get back to talking about what is real.
• 7:00
  And then go back to the conversation about how we define truth in this culture because
• 7:06
  the very fact that we are allowing mental illness to be seen as real.
• 7:11
  I mean, the guys, what do you do with the guy who says he's a dinosaur?
• 7:14
  Do we then go, well, you know, hey, you are a dinosaur.
• 7:18
  Why can't I identify as something I'm not and then get money from the federal government?
• 7:23
  Oh, wait, I can.
• 7:24
  I can do that because we have moved away from objective truth now.
• 7:29
  And I think you're right, David, we can go back to Oprah Winfrey, who back in the 80s
• 7:34
  started telling everybody that she had found her truth.
• 7:37
  Well, guess what?
• 7:38
  There is no your truth in my truth.
• 7:39
  There is only the truth, something's either true or it's wrong.
• 7:43
  There are facts and there are feelings that, unfortunately, in this country right now,
• 7:47
  we're leaning more toward telling people that their feelings are actually fact.
• 7:51
  What a time we're living and it's amazing.
• 7:53
  That's right.
• 7:54
  That's right.
• 7:55
  I think of the year before Target came up with their restroom policy and changed that.
• 7:59
  I think that was 2017.
• 8:01
  The year 2016 Oxford dictionaries word of the year was post truth.
• 8:07
  Post truth Oxford dictionary that year.
• 8:09
  Anyway, I want to mention, I follow GAB and get their newsletters from Andrew Torba.
• 8:16
  And they are encouraging people to embrace what they call a parallel economy, which supports
• 8:22
  family-owned small businesses that share your values.
• 8:26
  Isn't that how we should be shopping and consuming all of our lives?
• 8:31
  When you know a corporation has gone woke or demonic and does not share your values,
• 8:39
  unless there's only one or two and there's a few to choose from, there are alternatives
• 8:44
  out there.
• 8:45
  And where you get your coffee or your groceries or where you get your clothes or whatever
• 8:48
  else.
• 8:49
  Your thoughts on that, the parallel economy that Christians, conservatives, independents,
• 8:54
  people just are just our good citizens and patriots want to say you want to say.
• 8:58
  Common sense.
• 8:59
  Exactly.
• 9:00
  There's something.
• 9:01
  How about we start putting our money where our values are?
• 9:03
  This is exactly why we see these boycotts are working, right?
• 9:07
  Because Target is not getting the money that it used to get because people are like,
• 9:10
  you know what, hey, you do you, you want to put out tech-friendly swimwear and put homosexual
• 9:15
  agendas in front of our children?
• 9:17
  That's fine.
• 9:18
  You can go ahead and do that.
• 9:19
  It's a free country, but we're going to vote with our wallet and not come into your
• 9:23
  store.
• 9:24
  And the same thing is true.
• 9:25
  When you guys find companies that are actually doing good things, try giving these people
• 9:29
  your money.
• 9:30
  And I understand, you can't boycott everything, right?
• 9:33
  That's the, I think people say, well, you can't boycott everything.
• 9:36
  So why are we boycotting anything?
• 9:38
  Well, we're doing what we can.
• 9:41
  And so I love public square.
• 9:42
  I've been working in public square for a while now.
• 9:44
  I had their CEO on my podcast.
• 9:47
  And they're doing a great thing by just trying to open up an alternate economy for people
• 9:51
  who are really tired of giving money to organizations who then turn around and injure
• 9:56
  the culture.
• 9:57
  And so that's, that's why I have such a huge beef with Walt Disney and Disneyland Disney
• 10:04
  plus all of these organizations are actually hurting children.
• 10:08
  And when we give them our money, that's how they do it.
• 10:11
  So they're taking the money that we're giving them, hardworking Americans who are sick and
• 10:15
  tired of the garbage that's floating around in the culture and the lies that are being
• 10:18
  pushed on our children.
• 10:19
  And I think that's really been the breaking point for most parents.
• 10:24
  When you just go, you know, you guys want to, you know, you want to do your weird sexual
• 10:27
  fetishes and, you know, dress up as women, whatever.
• 10:30
  But when you start telling children that biological realities are no longer realities, when
• 10:35
  you start promoting this stuff to children as if it were real, now we have a really serious
• 10:41
  problem.
• 10:42
  And we've got to start addressing it.
• 10:43
  If we don't, and if we don't, it's going to continue to get worse.
• 10:47
  We call that's where you get the term, bud lighting, right?
• 10:50
  It's a verb now.
• 10:51
  You can be bud lighted.
• 10:52
  If you bud light someone, you just sent them into financial into a financial tailspin.
• 10:58
  I for one would like to see target go out of business.
• 11:01
  And I got a dream day.
• 11:02
  But you want to hear it?
• 11:03
  I got.
• 11:04
  Yes.
• 11:05
  Yes.
• 11:06
  No.
• 11:07
  My dream.
• 11:08
  Here's my dream.
• 11:09
  My dream is that target would go out of business.
• 11:10
  In spectacular fashion.
• 11:11
  Like I want to see them gone like Kmart is gone, right?
• 11:13
  So target will go out of business in spectacular fashion and then we'll come in and we'll put
• 11:17
  homeschool resource centers in all the empty target buildings.
• 11:20
  I got a dream.
• 11:21
  That's funny.
• 11:22
  By the way, we didn't mention that.
• 11:24
  First of all, they would never acknowledge why they went on a business.
• 11:27
  I don't think.
• 11:28
  But tell us about the homeschool recent or center real quick.
• 11:30
  We mentioned it last time you were on for our listeners or viewers that are just seeing
• 11:34
  you here.
• 11:35
  What is that all about?
• 11:37
  Well, the homeschool resource center was started by my husband and myself back in 2017,
• 11:41
  really in a response to Barack Obama's ridiculous bathroom mandates, right?
• 11:46
  That mandated that little girls would now be unsafe in public school restrooms.
• 11:52
  And we've been doing homeschool, homeschool co-ops for years and years, but we opened up
• 11:56
  a full time homeschool resource center where parents can come.
• 12:00
  And if you're homeschooling your child and you just say, listen, I can handle everything,
• 12:03
  but chemistry.
• 12:04
  Awesome.
• 12:05
  We have a chemistry tutor for you.
• 12:07
  We have all kinds of classes teachers come in here and they are independent contractors.
• 12:11
  And basically we open up our space and we allow tutoring to happen here five days a week.
• 12:17
  So right now we have 700 students, a little over 700 students at the homeschool resource
• 12:21
  center, over 100 classes that are being offered.
• 12:25
  We're bringing back the trades again.
• 12:26
  We're teaching children automotive and woodworking.
• 12:30
  All the things that are actually wait for it, really useful in the real world.
• 12:35
  And so while your kids are going off to, you know, Washington State University and they're
• 12:39
  getting a degree in lesbian dance theory and then they come out and can't get a job,
• 12:43
  we are working with parents and students here to give them real life skills and to shore
• 12:49
  up the classes where parents are just like, you know, I just either can't teach, I don't
• 12:53
  feel like I can teach that or I don't want to teach it.
• 12:56
  And so if you come to Heidi St. John or to my husband here at the homeschool resource center
• 13:00
  and say, Hey, I've got a child is going to be in eighth grade next year.
• 13:04
  These are where I feel weak.
• 13:06
  Our job is to come alongside and remove every obstacle for homeschooling so that parents
• 13:11
  can pull their kids out of these broken institutions and take again ownership and responsibility
• 13:18
  for the education of their children.
• 13:19
  It's really exciting.
• 13:20
  People can find that that firmly planted family dot org.
• 13:25
  Awesome.
• 13:26
  Firmly planted family dot org and we've got to take a break.
• 13:29
  But one time we should do a show on the useless classes and degrees and things that people
• 13:35
  can study in college.
• 13:37
  We should do that sometime, Heidi, but we got to take a quick break.
• 13:39
  We'll be right back with Heidi St. John on World View Matters.
• 13:43
  Today's show is brought to you by Harbinger's Daily.
• 13:46
  World news biblically understood.
• 13:49
  Stay informed at Harbinger's Daily dot com.
• 14:00
  So I want to just thank Stephen from Seamy Valley, California who sent in a donation to
• 14:05
  World View Matters.
• 14:06
  We are a nonprofit and we could use your support, Mike from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Nancy from
• 14:12
  Sherwood, Wisconsin, and Randy from Green Bay.
• 14:15
  We have listeners and viewers from New York, California.
• 14:18
  We're starting to grow the audience.
• 14:20
  So thank you.
• 14:21
  One reason we want to tell you about this is because we want to get you one of these mugs
• 14:24
  for a special campaign that we're doing right now between now and Christmas.
• 14:28
  You can help support the show and production costs of World View Matters with either a $25
• 14:33
  or a month donation or a one time gift of $200, we'll send you this mug.
• 14:40
  And it says, World View Matters on one side and the other side, it says, keep speaking
• 14:45
  the truth about things that matter.
• 14:46
  Okay, right back to Heidi St. John, before we talk about the university campus and what's
• 14:51
  going on there a little bit with the idiocy, the wokeness and the anti-semitism and everything
• 14:56
  else, Heidi, I wanted to bring up this book cover that we didn't get a chance to really
• 15:00
  touch on earlier.
• 15:02
  In my daddy's belly, the miracle of male birth, I know you've got something to say about
• 15:07
  this.
• 15:08
  Well, it's no miracle at all because there is no such thing as male birth.
• 15:12
  It actually just makes me laugh, right?
• 15:14
  The miracle of male birth, that's like me saying, the miracle of Santa Claus, everybody,
• 15:19
  Santa Claus, you know, and we all know that Santa Claus isn't real.
• 15:24
  And it's not real that men can have babies.
• 15:27
  This is a woman.
• 15:28
  That's why I said, I mean, to me, I feel like the headline needs to read that this woman
• 15:34
  is injuring her unborn child because she has a mental illness and she's putting her child's
• 15:39
  health at risk in order to participate in this delusion.
• 15:43
  And instead of coming alongside this woman and trying to help her with her unborn baby,
• 15:47
  Glamour Magazine is putting her on the front of their magazine and making it some sort
• 15:51
  of transgender hero.
• 15:53
  It's disgusting.
• 15:55
  It's sad to watch and shame on Glamour Magazine, I mean, all I'm sorry, but all of the wonderful
• 16:00
  women's awards are now going to men and people keep talking about the patriarchy.
• 16:04
  I'm like, you want to hear the pay, you want the patriarchy?
• 16:07
  There it is.
• 16:08
  That's the patriarchy.
• 16:09
  The patriarchy is on the cover of Glamour Magazine right now and looking at all these
• 16:13
  men who are competing against women in sports.
• 16:15
  So women wanting to willing to give up the most precious thing they have, which is their
• 16:21
  ability to create and nurture a little human being inside of them.
• 16:26
  And we're willing to flood our bodies with cross-sex hormones, injure unborn children in
• 16:31
  the name of woke ideology and transgender so-called medicine.
• 16:36
  It's a shameful time for the country.
• 16:38
  And I frankly think we need to see more and more people speaking the truth.
• 16:41
  But David, you and I both know this is the problem.
• 16:44
  We have moved away from objective truth.
• 16:47
  And now we believe that your truth is your truth and my truth is my truth, which of
• 16:51
  course, is a lie.
• 16:53
  Speaking of Glamour, a transgender model was named 2023 Woman of the Year.
• 17:00
  So in other words, a man, step aside, ladies, step aside, get off the podium, ladies in
• 17:07
  sports and in beauty contest, Glamour names, a man, transgender model, woman of the year.
• 17:14
  This is, it's demonic.
• 17:16
  It is a delusion.
• 17:17
  And guys, just keep spreading the truth about this because God doesn't change.
• 17:22
  Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.
• 17:25
  And the Bible doesn't change.
• 17:26
  Truth doesn't change.
• 17:27
  But let's get over to the University campus now, Heidi, because I got a little note from
• 17:34
  Christopher Rufo, he's been talking about this for quite some time.
• 17:39
  And he went on Varnie and company to discuss academia's response to the recent demonic
• 17:45
  Hamas terror attacks on Israel.
• 17:48
  And Stuart Varnie asked Chris Rufo, if the violent, anti-Semitic pro-Hamas demonstrations
• 17:54
  on American campuses were a sign of entrenched liberalism.
• 17:59
  And here's what Rufo said.
• 18:00
  And I want to get your response, Heidi St. John quote, it's a few steps further than liberalism.
• 18:07
  And the classic sense was the idea that you have a respectful civil discourse.
• 18:11
  We've now basically imported violent third world ideologies onto American campuses.
• 18:18
  American left wing activists and even many professors at prestigious universities have
• 18:23
  been cheering on the Hamas terror attacks against Israel.
• 18:28
  This is all part of a longstanding 50 year process of the capture of our educational institutions.
• 18:35
  We're seeing it for the first time in all of its fully exposed hideousness.
• 18:40
  But this is merely just the tip of the iceberg.
• 18:44
  And quote from Chris Rufo, Heidi St. John, your response.
• 18:47
  Well, I think what he's just done is expose the lie of multiculturalism, right?
• 18:53
  The left loves multiculturalism and they are making a moral equivalence between Hamas
• 19:00
  and the IDF going and defending its own people.
• 19:04
  Israel has every right to defend itself.
• 19:06
  And what we're going to see, the thing that's really frightening, David, about this,
• 19:09
  is that I believe, you know, I think some people will disagree with me,
• 19:13
  but I believe that that's what's happening on our southern border.
• 19:15
  I think we have, we have basically have an invasion happening on our southern border.
• 19:19
  And the ridiculous ideology in the left says, oh, these people just want to come here.
• 19:24
  They're a religion of peace.
• 19:25
  No, they're not.
• 19:26
  They see you as an infidel, right?
• 19:28
  I love, I saw a guy on the news the other day, you know, talking about how he just loves Palestine.
• 19:33
  Clearly gay, he was holding up a sign that said, queers for Palestine.
• 19:36
  I just want to go, who's going to tell this guy the truth?
• 19:39
  Who's going to tell him you go over there?
• 19:41
  And they're going to throw you off a rooftop, you ding dong.
• 19:44
  What is that?
• 19:45
  What does that mean?
• 19:46
  They kill homosexuals.
• 19:48
  That's, that's their point.
• 19:49
  That's what they do.
• 19:50
  Yeah, that's exactly what they do.
• 19:51
  Yeah, that's exactly what they do.
• 19:53
  And here's this guy standing up in front of a whole bunch of people.
• 19:56
  The University of Seattle, you know, queers for Palestine.
• 20:01
  Well, guess what?
• 20:01
  Palestine is not for you.
• 20:03
  So it's ridiculous.
• 20:05
  What we've done is we've lied to people, gets back to, you know, the realities of life again.
• 20:09
  The experiment by the radical left in multiculturalism that believes that all the cultures just want to get along.
• 20:16
  They were all the same, that we all value the same thing.
• 20:19
  We do not all value the same thing.
• 20:23
  And believe me when I say that the religion of Islam is not a peaceful religion, these, and this is why you see them trying to form a caliphate again.
• 20:31
  They want to, they want to kill you if you disagree with them.
• 20:35
  It's either be converted to Islam or you're an infidel and we're going to kill you.
• 20:40
  And if the way that what's happening in Israel is not going to come here to the United States, we don't understand the nature of the war we're in.
• 20:46
  Well, it's, it's here.
• 20:47
  It just hasn't manifest yet, you know, in the natural, it's here.
• 20:51
  I mean, we've had open borders and millions have come across and we have no idea where they have gone in the country.
• 20:59
  Heidi, you said something interesting about, you know, queers for Palestine, strange bedfellows.
• 21:04
  We've, we've got the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation marching in the Palestine, pro Palestine parades.
• 21:12
  And so you're thinking, okay, now we've got the Marxists and supposedly the ones that support Black Lives, but they don't support all Black Lives.
• 21:20
  And if we got the LGBTQ in some of them report, it's really crazy what these are all coming together.
• 21:28
  But if you note the common denominator, it is a anti Christian, anti Judeo Christian worldview, your thoughts.
• 21:35
  Yeah, that's absolutely what it is.
• 21:37
  I mean, this is a spiritual battle from son up to son down.
• 21:39
  I believe that we are coming to the end of the church age and things are really ramping up.
• 21:44
  And we see this in our United States government right now.
• 21:47
  Mike Johnson, the new speaker of the house is being openly mocked now by the legacy media, openly mocked by the former speaker of, for the United States, Jen Socky,
• 21:58
  who's making fun of him and mocking him, he's being mocked by Bill Mar, not because of his policy positions.
• 22:05
  This is really important, everybody lean in, he's not being mocked because of his policy positions.
• 22:09
  He's not being mocked because he wants to lower the national debt or secure the southern border.
• 22:14
  He's being mocked because he's a Christian, full stop.
• 22:18
  They're making fun of him because he is a Christian.
• 22:21
  And I have been saying for years, and I think the handwriting is on the wall, we are going to see the full blown persecution of Christians in this country.
• 22:28
  If we do not wake up and begin again to get back to the founding of this country, this country was founded on Judeo Christian values.
• 22:34
  We are not the same as the people in the Middle East.
• 22:37
  This experiment and multiculturalism now has come home to roost in Rashida, to leave.
• 22:42
  And Ilhan Omar and so many people now who are seated in positions of authority in this country,
• 22:48
  openly hate Christians and it is open season on Christians right now in the United States.
• 22:54
  I know persecution is on the rise.
• 22:56
  I mean, look at the pro-life pregnancy centers that have been bombed or attacked, you know,
• 23:00
  arson and all kinds of other things.
• 23:02
  Heidi, I had a guest on Tony Garoulet with radical truth and he was talking about the Muslim brotherhood, Hamas and Islam.
• 23:09
  And one of their leaders even says we start with the Saturday worshipers, meaning the Jews,
• 23:13
  and then we're going after the Sunday worshipers, meaning the Christians.
• 23:16
  So this is out there.
• 23:18
  It's just that we're a little naive and ignorant over here.
• 23:21
  I want to go back to Mike Johnson, though, because Heidi is not exaggerating friends because House Democrats responded to him.
• 23:28
  And it's like, here's what they put out.
• 23:30
  Welcome to the Republican era of not even pretending that they aren't forcing their religion on Congress and the American people.
• 23:38
  This is a slippery, dangerous slope to theocracy.
• 23:42
  Dun, dun, dun.
• 23:44
  Heidi, you're, they're thinking, okay, just because he's an open Christian,
• 23:48
  meaning he supports the biblical worldview on all the issues, right?
• 23:51
  And they're saying, oh, he wants to force jam that down our throat.
• 23:55
  It's not the case at all, but that's what they're putting out.
• 23:58
  Well, I mean, look at, look at the, look at the words that they're using.
• 24:01
  Theocracy, you know, I don't know a single Christian who wants a theocracy.
• 24:06
  Actually, Christians are the only ones who are saying, hey,
• 24:09
  everybody can have a seat at the table.
• 24:11
  We're not trying to force you to believe what we believe.
• 24:13
  But we do know that there is a moral underpinning.
• 24:16
  And that's what this is all about.
• 24:17
  This is a spiritual battle from son up to son down.
• 24:20
  Mike Johnson doesn't want a theocracy anymore than Heidi St. John wants a theocracy.
• 24:25
  Because in the United States, we have what's called freedom of religion.
• 24:28
  So you can choose to do what you want to do.
• 24:31
  But we commit things from a particular worldview.
• 24:34
  And our worldview says that we are to love one another.
• 24:38
  Our worldview says that we have that we have a gospel that says there's hope
• 24:42
  beyond the current world that we exist in.
• 24:44
  But they're not we're not forcing you to become a Christian.
• 24:47
  And this idea that somehow Mike Johnson would want to institute a theocracy and force people
• 24:52
  to become Christians goes against Christianity.
• 24:55
  That's not what he wants to do.
• 24:57
  Also, I think it's really important that we we talk very openly about the terminology that
• 25:02
  they're pegging Christians with starting with Christian nationalism, right?
• 25:06
  Because what they're trying to do is make Christians seem like they're unreasonable people
• 25:10
  who want to force our religion on other people.
• 25:13
  Nothing could be further from the truth.
• 25:15
  This is a lie from the pit of hell.
• 25:17
  And also if Christian nationalism means, I don't even know what that word means.
• 25:21
  They made it up.
• 25:22
  But if Christian nationalism means I love Jesus, then I love my country.
• 25:25
  Well, then that's what I am.
• 25:27
  I must be a Christian nationalist because I love the Lord Jesus.
• 25:30
  I love people as myself, which is the greatest memory.
• 25:33
  Love the Lord your God and then love your neighbor.
• 25:36
  This is how Christians are called to live.
• 25:38
  And this is how those of us who are walking with Jesus do live.
• 25:41
  And I would put Mike Johnson in that category.
• 25:44
  Listen, they're making fun of them because for lots of reasons,
• 25:47
  but also because he has covenant eyes on his phone.
• 25:50
  And he and his son routinely talk with each other about their desire to remain free
• 25:57
  from pornography addiction.
• 25:59
  And what did he get on the floor of the House of Representatives for that?
• 26:01
  He got made fun of what an amazing time to be a Christian in this country.
• 26:05
  You mentioned Christian nationalism, right?
• 26:07
  And if you can't be a solid Christian and still be proud of your country,
• 26:14
  there's a problem.
• 26:15
  But people are even afraid to say, yeah, I'm thankful for America.
• 26:18
  We're exceptional because they've since January 6th,
• 26:21
  they've floated the domestic terrorist label on Christians, conservatives,
• 26:26
  mega Republicans, and they're trying to lump everybody together.
• 26:30
  So they have a common enemy, those who believe in freedom,
• 26:32
  the biblical worldview, religious freedom, of course, the Constitution,
• 26:36
  which the left is trying to shred, but hiding.
• 26:40
  Yeah, we're, believe it or not, out of time already.
• 26:43
  I knew with you, come on, we could do three hours, maybe next time.
• 26:48
  Thanks for your time.
• 26:49
  We will do this again, hopefully soon.
• 26:51
  But the BusyMom.com and give us the website for the home school again.
