Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to Bontina Report Early Edition. Trump
0:04
Speaker 1: signs a pro-IVF executive order. Teenage, so grown-up, designer.
0:10
Speaker 2: Babies say that they need therapy. The U.S.
0:13
Speaker 1: Catholic Conference of Bishops sues the Trump admin for cutting
0:17
Speaker 1: refugee settlement funding. Violent anti-police rioters receive.
0:22
Speaker 3: A $ 7.
0:22
Speaker 1: 6 million DOJ settlement. A black queer woman is cast
0:29
Speaker 1: as Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar. And Democrats admit COVID
0:33
Speaker 1: red-pilled Gen Z.
0:35
Speaker 2: All this on Bongina Report. Early attention.
0:50
Speaker 1: President Trump signed an executive order yesterday calling for policy
0:54
Speaker 1: recommendations to expand access to and affordability of in vitro fertilization,
0:59
Speaker 1: or more commonly known as IVF. Caroline Levitt wrote on
1:04
Speaker 1: X that the order directs policy recommendations to protect IVF
1:09
Speaker 1: access and aggressively reduce out-of-pocket and health plan costs for
1:14
Speaker 1: such treatment. So we're not exactly sure what this entails,
1:17
Speaker 1: but the president is obviously beginning the steps of potentially
1:21
Speaker 1: making IVF more affordable. Now, this order follows up on
1:25
Speaker 1: Trump's campaign campaign Trump's campaign promise to establish a new
1:29
Speaker 1: federal entitlement to IVF if elected, whether through direct subsidy
1:35
Speaker 1: or insurance mandate, we're not sure. And this is a
1:39
Speaker 1: President Trump L, in my opinion. I do not agree
1:42
Speaker 1: with this at all. We have to be honest about that.
1:45
Speaker 1: We have to look at this admin objectively. Sometimes we
1:48
Speaker 1: can praise President Trump for really good things that he does,
1:51
Speaker 1: and sometimes he makes really bad decisions. I would say
1:54
Speaker 1: not that often, but when he does, it's important that
1:56
Speaker 1: we talk about it and we handle everything that this
2:00
Speaker 1: admin does really objectively and honestly. IVF is a seriously
2:07
Speaker 1: unethical process. It is the conscious creation of countless excess
2:14
Speaker 1: human embryos, so human lives, only to be killed and
2:20
Speaker 1: And these unborn children who were actually born treated like
2:22
Speaker 1: commodities to be bought. It has been estimated that there
2:25
Speaker 1: are more than 1 million embryos frozen in storage in
2:29
Speaker 1: the United States following IVF. And there may be, I guess,
2:35
Speaker 1: 93% of all embryos created through IVF that either die,
2:39
Speaker 1: they're left frozen, abandoned, destroyed due to eugenics, experimented on, miscarried.
2:43
Speaker 1: So this is a real ethical concern. Imagine that like
2:49
Speaker 1: millions of human lives created and they're just stuck.
2:51
Speaker 2: They're just frozen. They have no chance of life.
2:53
Speaker 1: And apparently the taxpayers are going to somehow subsidize this.
2:57
Speaker 1: If you are pro-life, the ethical ramifications are pretty self-evident.
3:00
Speaker 1: IVF separates the creation of life from the natural procreation process.
3:05
Speaker 1: It reduces human embryos to commodities. It subjects them to selection, destruction,
3:13
Speaker 1: indefinite suspension, violating the inherent dignity of human life.
3:18
Speaker 2: Now, what President Trump is.
3:20
Speaker 1: Right about is that we are indeed experiencing an infertility
3:23
Speaker 1: crisis in this country. People can't have kids. It's a
3:26
Speaker 1: huge problem. And it is linked to the chronic disease, over-medication,
3:29
Speaker 1: and obesity crisis that we're also facing in this country.
3:33
Speaker 1: So why don't we focus our efforts on making America
3:36
Speaker 1: healthier instead of subsidizing a very expensive and unethical fix
3:40
Speaker 1: to a problem that can be addressed by diet and exercise?
3:44
Speaker 1: Here is Casey Means' on the cause of PCOS, one
3:48
Speaker 1: of the leading causes of infertility in women. I want
3:52
Speaker 1: you to listen to what she says the cause of
3:55
Speaker 1: PCOS really is.
3:57
Speaker 2: Take a listen.
3:58
Speaker 4: PCOS, essentially you have an ovary, that ovary is making hormones.
4:01
Speaker 4: And when that ovary is stimulated by excess insulin, which
4:04
Speaker 4: is the hormone in the blood that helps us take
4:06
Speaker 4: blood sugar out of the blood and into the cells,
4:09
Speaker 4: insulin levels go up in the setting of metabolic dysfunction.
4:11
Speaker 4: We basically destroy our cells with our toxic food and lifestyle.
4:16
Speaker 4: The cells can no longer process sugar to energy. So
4:20
Speaker 4: the cell rejects sugar and it stays in the bloodstream.
4:23
Speaker 4: The body compensates by making more insulin to try and
4:26
Speaker 4: drive the sugar into the cell that's putting up a
4:28
Speaker 4: block because it's broken, essentially. That high insulin... floats all
4:32
Speaker 4: around the body and does bad things all over the
4:35
Speaker 4: body like drives cancer growth and also stimulates the ovary
4:39
Speaker 4: to make more testosterone. So you have women who are
4:42
Speaker 4: supposed to be making, you know, estrogen and progesterone in
4:45
Speaker 4: very specific levels throughout the hormone cycle so that we
4:48
Speaker 4: can ovulate. And instead, insulin is driving the ovary to
4:51
Speaker 4: create testosterone, which totally disturbs the balance between all the
4:56
Speaker 4: sex hormones in the female body, and we don't ovulate.
4:58
Speaker 4: So you get these cysts that form because you've got
5:00
Speaker 4: an egg trying to basically ovulate, but instead it can't
5:04
Speaker 4: because the hormones are disrupted because of insulin, which is
5:06
Speaker 4: because of metabolic dysfunction, because of our food.
5:10
Speaker 5: And.
5:10
Speaker 4: we get infertility because we're not ovulating. So lucky charms
5:14
Speaker 4: leads over time.
5:15
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
5:16
Speaker 4: And this condition is reversible in as little as 12
5:21
Speaker 4: weeks with dietary interventions. There is peer reviewed studies to
5:25
Speaker 4: show this. If we get our blood sugar levels under
5:27
Speaker 4: control and our insulin levels under control, we restore the
5:31
Speaker 4: hormonal balance and many women, all the symptoms will disappear
5:34
Speaker 4: and they'll be able to become fertile.
5:38
Speaker 1: Somebody comments, for people that cannot have babies or are
5:41
Speaker 1: struggling to get pregnant, IVF is a lifesaver for them.
5:45
Speaker 1: People cannot access this because of the cost. This is
5:48
Speaker 1: a good thing that Trump has done. And I understand
5:51
Speaker 1: that sentiment.
5:51
Speaker 2: I'm pro-babies. I'm pro-family. I'm pro-life.
5:56
Speaker 1: You have to think about this and separate it from
5:59
Speaker 1: that issue, from the issue of just having children, because
6:03
Speaker 1: there are deeper moral and ethical concerns here. Just because
6:07
Speaker 1: the outcome is good, right? You have a baby doesn't
6:09
Speaker 1: mean that there are other issues that come with it.
6:11
Speaker 1: I'm going to get into exactly why this is really problematic.
6:15
Speaker 1: This isn't just about being pro-life and having more babies.
6:18
Speaker 1: There is an infertility crisis in this country, first of all,
6:21
Speaker 1: which Callie Means talked about, which Casey Means talked about,
6:24
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, her brother's Callie, that can be addressed with
6:28
Speaker 1: lifestyle changes, with dietary changes, exercise. We aren't handling that.
6:34
Speaker 1: We aren't addressing that in any way for some reason.
6:37
Speaker 1: Our healthcare industry isn't interested in the underlying lifestyle issues
6:41
Speaker 1: behind chronic conditions like PCOS. One way to deal with
6:45
Speaker 1: infertility is naturally with restorative reproductive medicine, but there isn't
6:50
Speaker 1: a multi-billion dollar industry behind restorative reproductive medicine like there
6:56
Speaker 1: is with IVF. Restorative reproductive medicine treats the root causes
7:00
Speaker 1: of infertility. That's what we should be doing. Reproductive disorders
7:03
Speaker 1: through methods like hormone optimization, surgical correction of conditions like endometriosis,
7:10
Speaker 1: cycle tracking, rather than using artificial reproductive technologies.
7:14
Speaker 2: This is the way to go.
7:15
Speaker 1: IVF and all artificial reproductive technologies are bringing the brave
7:20
Speaker 1: new world book to real life here in the United States.
7:24
Speaker 1: And it turns life into really a laboratory controlled process
7:28
Speaker 1: where embryos are created, they're selected and And then they're
7:30
Speaker 1: just discarded based on viability or desirability.
7:33
Speaker 2: It is dehumanizing.
7:34
Speaker 1: It is the definition of eugenics. And yes, it might
7:37
Speaker 1: be one baby from it, but what about all the
7:38
Speaker 1: frozen embryos? What about all the embryos that are destroyed?
7:41
Speaker 1: If you believe that life begins at conception, there is
7:44
Speaker 1: no way that this can possibly be viewed as an
7:47
Speaker 1: ethical process. So to the point of some of you commenting, saying,
7:50
Speaker 1: I disagree. We want to have more babies. Some parents
7:52
Speaker 1: can't have kids. You can't justify that. killing or leaving
7:58
Speaker 1: a bunch of real human lives frozen or killed just
8:02
Speaker 1: because you want to have a baby. The desire for
8:06
Speaker 1: having a child does not justify that evil act. So
8:10
Speaker 1: we're going to take a quick break. When I come back,
8:13
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about more in depth about designer babies,
8:17
Speaker 1: parents selecting for the traits of their children via IVF
8:22
Speaker 1: in a really, like I said, dystopian process.
8:26
Speaker 2: Don't go anywhere.
8:27
Speaker 1: Are you still sleeping on that same old uncomfortable mattress?
8:30
Speaker 1: Let me tell you about the best night's sleep I've
8:34
Speaker 1: ever had on a Helix mattress. No more tossing and turning.
8:37
Speaker 1: Helix can help you if you have minor pains, if
8:40
Speaker 1: you snore, even if you sleep too hot. So many
8:43
Speaker 1: of my listeners are sleeping on Helix now and it's
8:46
Speaker 1: making a huge difference in their lives. Helix sent me
8:49
Speaker 1: a mattress and Michael and I have never slept on
8:51
Speaker 1: a more comfortable bed ever. I can't tell you enough
8:54
Speaker 1: how grateful I am to Helix. Michael says this is
8:57
Speaker 1: his new favorite sponsor. We both are just blown away
9:01
Speaker 1: by how much better we're sleeping on our Helix mattress.
9:04
Speaker 1: Helix mattress can help figure out which mattress will work
9:08
Speaker 1: best for you. At the end of the long workday,
9:10
Speaker 1: I always look forward to sleeping on my Helix mattress.

Speaker 1: a sheet set, and a mattress protector, helixsleep.com slash Evita.
9:55
Speaker 2: Michael just brought up an excellent point. He also said,
9:58
Speaker 2: and what about adoption, right?
9:59
Speaker 1: If you can't have a child, which is one of
10:02
Speaker 1: the most devastating things that can ever happen to a person,
10:04
Speaker 1: I totally understand that. I know people who have gone
10:07
Speaker 1: through it.
10:08
Speaker 2: Adopt.
10:09
Speaker 1: There are tons and tons of children in this country,
10:13
Speaker 1: in your own community, who are going through foster care,
10:16
Speaker 1: who don't have a family to go back, who are
10:18
Speaker 1: open for adoption and you are just, I don't know,
10:23
Speaker 1: pouring millions, pouring hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands of
10:26
Speaker 1: dollars down the drain for IVF, potentially destroying other human
10:31
Speaker 1: lives in the process and not giving a child who
10:35
Speaker 1: actually needs a home a chance at life. Perhaps if
10:36
Speaker 1: you can't have children and you really can't and you've
10:38
Speaker 1: tried the natural ways of trying to optimize your fertility.
10:43
Speaker 2: Explore adoption. It's a beautiful thing.
10:46
Speaker 1: Now, There are consequences, not just for the embryos destroyed
10:50
Speaker 1: or left frozen, but even for the children who survive
10:54
Speaker 1: and are actually born via IVF.
10:56
Speaker 2: This is fascinating.
10:59
Speaker 1: IVF can be used by parents to literally design their
11:03
Speaker 1: children to select for certain traits, but understand that even
11:08
Speaker 1: people who are trying to have a tall, high IQ child,
11:12
Speaker 1: they are also engage, they are engaging in eugenics, but
11:16
Speaker 1: so are the people who are creating embryos just for
11:21
Speaker 1: infertility purposes, right? You're creating embryos and then implanting the
11:26
Speaker 1: one that has the most viability. So in that case,
11:28
Speaker 1: you are still selecting for human health and discarding the other.
11:33
Speaker 1: So even if you are doing it for infertility purpose,
11:35
Speaker 1: IVF is still very eugenic at its core, but it
11:38
Speaker 1: can also be much more explicitly eugenic where parents are saying,
11:41
Speaker 1: I want a child with brown hair and is five feet,
11:45
Speaker 1: around five feet taller. So they can actually try to
11:48
Speaker 1: select for those traits, which becomes even more explicitly dystopian. Although,
11:52
Speaker 1: like I said, it's all very eugenic and dystopian. So
11:55
Speaker 1: Wired recently ran an article on parents who use IVF
11:59
Speaker 1: for more explicitly designer baby purposes. And it's titled, designer
12:04
Speaker 1: babies are teenagers now, and some of them need therapy
12:06
Speaker 1: because of it. And this piece delves into how parents
12:10
Speaker 1: will screen embryos, meaning their children, for disease-causing genes, selecting
12:16
Speaker 1: their future baby's sex, and picking egg and sperm donors
12:19
Speaker 1: to influence their child's traits. One startup actually claims to
12:25
Speaker 1: help parents pick embryos with the highest predicted IQ. Now today,
12:29
Speaker 1: a lot of those designer babies are teenagers, and some
12:32
Speaker 1: parents are discovering that their children feel like walking science experiments.
12:36
Speaker 1: I kind of get it, because they are walking science experiments.
12:40
Speaker 1: And the parents feel that they didn't get what they
12:41
Speaker 1: paid for in many cases, which is often an exorbitant
12:44
Speaker 1: amount of money, when their child doesn't turn out exactly
12:48
Speaker 1: how they wanted. Maybe they aren't high IQ. Maybe they
12:51
Speaker 1: aren't super tall. Maybe they don't have brown hair. In
12:54
Speaker 1: other words, IVF is creating extremely disordered parent-child relationships. And
13:00
Speaker 1: Vice did a fascinating story on a Pennsylvania couple Malcolm
13:05
Speaker 1: and Simone Collins, and their third child, Titan Invictus, who
13:10
Speaker 1: as an embryo was selected for implantation based on the
13:14
Speaker 1: results of an implantation genetic test.
13:16
Speaker 2: So in other words, the parents.
13:18
Speaker 1: Chose to birth and raise Titan over dozens of his
13:21
Speaker 1: other siblings, all of their siblings' embryos, because the parents
13:25
Speaker 1: believed that Titan's genes were superior.
13:29
Speaker 2: Take a listen. So wait, Titan, is that her name?
13:31
Speaker 6: Titan Invictus.
13:32
Speaker 5: What's that from?
13:34
Speaker 6: Well- We want powerful names.
13:36
Speaker 4: And we actually rule in the family against giving any
13:38
Speaker 4: of our daughters strictly female names because data shows that
13:43
Speaker 4: it has a lot of negative outcomes.
13:45
Speaker 6: Yeah, so what we got from genomic prediction was just
13:50
Speaker 6: a really simple report, which I actually quite like. And
13:53
Speaker 6: so did you do IVF so that you could get data.
13:57
Speaker 7: On your embryos?
13:58
Speaker 6: Yeah, we already had. All of our embryos that we
14:02
Speaker 6: needed to have seven kids. We had 26 embryos good
14:05
Speaker 6: to go, but we did a whole new round just
14:07
Speaker 6: to be able to do this because it's so much
14:09
Speaker 6: additional information.
14:10
Speaker 2: Interesting.
14:11
Speaker 6: So I see these embryos have health scores ranging from
14:15
Speaker 6: like negative 0.96 to like 1.9. The titan here who
14:21
Speaker 6: turned out to be the one we selected had the
14:24
Speaker 6: best score from our own internal data. uh, like additional
14:28
Speaker 6: data calculations and genomic predictions best.
14:31
Speaker 8: Oh my gosh.
14:32
Speaker 7: Hey, you're number one.
14:33
Speaker 9: Okay.
14:35
Speaker 1: Somebody left the comments. Is that, are this, is this
14:37
Speaker 1: a lesbian couple? And the answer I believe is no.
14:39
Speaker 2: I think that that is, it's a man and a woman.
14:42
Speaker 1: Um, and they were just creeps and they wanted to
14:46
Speaker 1: make sure that their child had the most optimized genes,
14:49
Speaker 1: like total freaks, total brave new world creepiness.
14:52
Speaker 2: Somebody else said, you know, in the comments, Oh, I
14:54
Speaker 2: have a I have a.
14:56
Speaker 1: Daughter who used IVF and they have a happy family.
15:00
Speaker 1: And listen, I'm not saying that every family is disordered
15:03
Speaker 1: and horrible as a result of this, but there are
15:05
Speaker 1: always ethical concerns with IVF and any sort of process
15:10
Speaker 1: of this nature. And we have to address that. And sometimes,
15:15
Speaker 1: like I said, you might have a really positive experience
15:18
Speaker 1: with it.
15:18
Speaker 2: It turned out great. There are a.
15:20
Speaker 1: Lot of cases of people who have very disordered relationships
15:24
Speaker 1: because of the way it sets up parent-child relationships, the
15:29
Speaker 1: parent buys the child and it optimizes the genes and
15:31
Speaker 1: the child feels like a walking science experiment and that
15:35
Speaker 1: they aren't living up to the standards that their parents
15:37
Speaker 1: bought them for. Their parents bought them for this.
15:39
Speaker 2: It's very, very wrong.
15:43
Speaker 1: And of course, if you are somebody like Titan, can
15:46
Speaker 1: you imagine growing up that way? Can you imagine the
15:49
Speaker 1: kind of therapy you would need? Your parents paid tens
15:52
Speaker 1: of thousands of dollars to buy you for your pre-selected
15:56
Speaker 1: superior genes. There's a lot of pressure riding on that.
16:00
Speaker 1: Dozens of your siblings died all because you're number one.
16:04
Speaker 1: So of course this kid is going to need therapy.
16:06
Speaker 1: And growing up, my mom, she did not, just so
16:08
Speaker 1: everyone knows, she did not genetically test me as an embryo.
16:11
Speaker 1: And she used to always say, I'm here to get
16:14
Speaker 1: you into heaven, not Harvard. And it highlights this phrase
16:19
Speaker 1: that she used to tell all of us. Her priority
16:21
Speaker 1: wasn't high IQ or musically talented or super athletic. And
16:26
Speaker 1: although those are blessings and wonderful gifts to have from God,
16:30
Speaker 1: my mom's goal for her children was to create good
16:34
Speaker 1: moral humans, because that's what God calls all parents to
16:38
Speaker 1: do when he blesses them with children. There's a spiritual
16:42
Speaker 1: component to this. It's the same problem with, I think,
16:45
Speaker 1: taking Ozempic instead of eating right and exercising more. You
16:48
Speaker 1: are manipulating life at its origin. with IVF, treating the
16:53
Speaker 1: symptoms of infertility rather than addressing the deeper natural complexities
16:57
Speaker 1: of human existence, and attempting to play God by controlling
17:02
Speaker 1: the creation and selection of life. And it is not good.
17:06
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about something that President Trump has
17:09
Speaker 1: done that is good, something that he is getting right,
17:12
Speaker 1: and that is the border.
17:13
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the U.S.
17:15
Speaker 1: Catholic Conference of Bishops announced has been on the right
17:21
Speaker 1: side of IVF and designer babies and the wrong side
17:24
Speaker 1: of the border security issue. And the bishops, the Catholic bishops,
17:27
Speaker 1: are now suing the Trump administration for cutting refugee settlement funding. Now,
17:32
Speaker 1: what is refugee resettlement funding? Billions of taxpayer dollars on
17:38
Speaker 1: refugee housing, transportation, food, and even improving their credit scores. Now,
17:44
Speaker 1: per this lawsuit, the federal government has committed to providing
17:47
Speaker 1: $ 65 million to the USCCB for the immediate physical needs
17:53
Speaker 1: and integration of refugees into their new communities. But the
17:57
Speaker 1: lawsuit reads that now, after refugees have already arrived and
18:00
Speaker 1: been placed in USCCB's care, the government is attempting to
18:04
Speaker 1: pull the rug out from under USCCB's programs by halting funding.
18:09
Speaker 1: So the bishops are saying, you agreed to pay us,
18:11
Speaker 1: you can't just stop now. Per a USCCB spokeswoman, we
18:15
Speaker 1: are urging the government, meaning we the bishops, to uphold
18:18
Speaker 1: its legal and moral obligations to refugees and to restore
18:22
Speaker 1: the necessary funding to ensure that faith-based and community organizations
18:26
Speaker 1: can continue this vital work that reflects our nation's values
18:29
Speaker 1: of compassion, justice, and hospitality. And we don't know how
18:34
Speaker 1: this is going to play out in court. It's possible
18:37
Speaker 1: that Trump can't just cancel these contracts made with the USCCB.
18:41
Speaker 1: But what I will say is that the moral thing,
18:44
Speaker 1: if we want to talk about morality here, the moral
18:46
Speaker 1: thing for the USCCB Catholic Conference of Bishops to do
18:50
Speaker 1: is to close up shop when it comes to the
18:53
Speaker 1: refugee programs. Stop paying for refugees and have the Trump
18:57
Speaker 1: admin handle these cases and eventually deport them. It is
19:01
Speaker 1: immoral for the taxpayers to continue funding the entire lives
19:06
Speaker 1: of non-Americans while our own suffer.
19:08
Speaker 2: We have veterans on the streets. We have any kind
19:13
Speaker 2: of Lahaina.
19:15
Speaker 1: Or the Carolinas that were victims to these hurricanes. We
19:20
Speaker 1: have problems here in the States and resources and funding
19:24
Speaker 1: is being taken from the taxpayers and allocated to illegal
19:27
Speaker 1: migrants instead of our own. There's something inherently disordered about that.
19:31
Speaker 1: And whatever happened to religious leaders raising money on their own,
19:36
Speaker 1: operating off of donations? Why are their charitable projects government
19:40
Speaker 1: funded now? I think that this defeats the purpose of charity,
19:44
Speaker 1: which should be done out of the goodness of people's hearts,
19:46
Speaker 1: not ripped out of the pocketbooks of taxpayers. There's something
19:49
Speaker 1: really weird about the Catholic Church becoming an NGO facilitating
19:54
Speaker 1: the illegal migrant crisis all at the expense of the taxpayers.
19:57
Speaker 1: There's something very, very wrong with that. And speaking of
20:02
Speaker 1: waste and spending dollars, ripping funding out of the taxpayers' pocketbooks,
20:08
Speaker 1: President Trump decided to read aloud last night a list
20:11
Speaker 1: of some of the most ridiculous.
20:12
Speaker 2: Projects that the taxpayers have been funding. This is incredible.
20:16
Speaker 2: Take a listen.
20:18
Speaker 8: $ 520 million for ESG.
20:21
Speaker 3: $ 25 million to promote biodiversity, conservation, and promote licit livelihoods
20:30
Speaker 3: by developing socially responsible behavior in the country of Colombia.
20:35
Speaker 8: Well, that's nice. $ 25 million to go into Colombia. for
20:38
Speaker 8: something that nobody ever heard of. Forty million dollars to
20:42
Speaker 8: improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants. Forty million.
20:51
Speaker 8: Forty-two million dollars for Johns Hopkins, great place to research
20:55
Speaker 8: and drive social and behavior change in Uganda. Forty-two million.
20:59
Speaker 8: What about us? What about social change in our country?
21:03
Speaker 8: Seventy million dollars for a center at Purdue to research university-sourced,
21:09
Speaker 8: evidence-based solutions to developmental challenges. I mean, these are massive
21:14
Speaker 8: numbers on things that nobody ever heard about. $ 10 million
21:18
Speaker 8: for Mozambique voluntary medical male circumcisions.
21:22
Speaker 3: $ 10 million for circumcisions in another country.
21:27
Speaker 2: Exactly.
21:27
Speaker 1: $ 10 million for circumcisions in Mozambique is wild.
21:32
Speaker 2: Why the heck were we funding that? How is that necessary?
21:36
Speaker 1: I mean, all of these that he just listed off,
21:38
Speaker 1: completely unnecessary. I also learned last night that the NIH
21:41
Speaker 1: funded studies at UNC Chapel Hill to research lesbian cigarette use.
21:47
Speaker 8: What?
21:48
Speaker 1: HIV stigma in Zambia and the immune systems of Latina mothers.
21:54
Speaker 1: This is not what the government should be funding. If
22:00
Speaker 1: Chapel Hill wants to fund bizarre studies about HIV stigma
22:04
Speaker 1: in Zambia and lesbian cigarette use, go for it.
22:08
Speaker 2: Be my guest. You guys do what you want to do.
22:09
Speaker 1: You guys take enough of students' tuition dollars, but the
22:13
Speaker 1: government should not be paying for this crap. And the
22:18
Speaker 1: response to all this from the left has been fear-mongering
22:21
Speaker 1: about Elon Musk, of course.
22:22
Speaker 2: Taking over the government.
22:24
Speaker 1: And Stephen Miller had an excellent television hit recently, and
22:26
Speaker 1: he was responding to this accusation on CNN that Elon
22:31
Speaker 1: Musk is taking over and it's the fear mongering around Doge.
22:36
Speaker 1: And he explains to the CNN anchor how government works
22:41
Speaker 1: just like she is a child.
22:43
Speaker 2: This is gold. Take a listen. Chief of staff for policy.
22:47
Speaker 4: Stephen, thank you so much for taking time for us.
22:50
Speaker 2: So who is in charge of Doge?
22:54
Speaker 7: The president of the United States.
22:56
Speaker 2: He's the administrator of Doge?
22:59
Speaker 8: No.
23:00
Speaker 7: Doge is what was formerly U.S. Digital Services. It's an
23:05
Speaker 7: agency of the federal government that reports into the executive
23:10
Speaker 7: office of the president, which reports to the president of
23:12
Speaker 7: the United States.
23:13
Speaker 2: Okay.
23:14
Speaker 7: The way that Article 2 works is a president wins
23:16
Speaker 7: an election, and then he appoints staff including myself, including
23:21
Speaker 7: Mike Waltz, including Susie Wiles, including Elon Musk, and those staff.
23:25
Speaker 2: Report to him. Okay, well aware. Are you well aware?
23:29
Speaker 2: Because it doesn't seem like it.
23:31
Speaker 1: And you can tell she's embarrassed sitting there as he's
23:33
Speaker 1: just schooling her, giving her a lesson on how government works.
23:37
Speaker 1: And I hope this teaches her and others at the
23:38
Speaker 1: network a lesson, that there are consequences to playing dumb
23:42
Speaker 1: and pretending like you don't know how government works to
23:45
Speaker 1: push Elon Musk derangement.
23:48
Speaker 2: Either that or they're actually idiots.
23:49
Speaker 1: And in that case, there's no amount of government 101
23:52
Speaker 1: crash courses Stephen Miller can give that will be enough
23:54
Speaker 1: for these people. All right, let's talk about Portland. This
23:57
Speaker 1: next story is truly an outrage. Donovan Labella, an anti-police
24:02
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter writer, has just been given an over $ 7. 6
24:06
Speaker 1: million settlement in from the DOJ, meaning our tax dollars. Now,
24:12
Speaker 1: LaBella was injured by a U.S. marshal during the infamous
24:15
Speaker 1: 2020 BLM Antifa riots in downtown Portland, and he was
24:19
Speaker 1: shot in the head with a crowd control munition while
24:23
Speaker 1: participating in a riot outside the federal courthouse. Federal authorities
24:27
Speaker 1: said LaBella had thrown a gas grenade at police officers,
24:30
Speaker 1: which prompted law enforcement to fire additional rounds into the crowd.
24:35
Speaker 1: And one of those rounds accidentally struck LaBella directly in
24:37
Speaker 1: the forehead, causing him to sustain a traumatic brain injury
24:42
Speaker 1: per his complaint. They say he left him with a
24:44
Speaker 1: condition called frontal lobe syndrome, which affects cerebral functions such
24:48
Speaker 1: as speech and social behaviors. Now the U.S., I'm sorry,
24:52
Speaker 1: the deputy U.S. marshal reportedly aimed at LaBella's stomach, accidentally, however,
24:57
Speaker 1: hit his forehead. Here is the bystander footage from that night.
25:06
Speaker 5: This shows the aftermath when protesters carried away 26-year-old Donovan
25:10
Speaker 5: Labella as people on social media have identified him. Immediately
25:14
Speaker 5: after Labella is hit, others surround him and move him back.
25:18
Speaker 5: You can see the head wound that's bleeding and more
25:20
Speaker 5: blood on the sidewalk where he dropped. Prior to being
25:23
Speaker 5: shot by a federal officer with an impact munition, Labella
25:26
Speaker 5: had gently kicked a smoke canister that landed near him
25:29
Speaker 5: and had both hands up holding a loudspeaker.
25:33
Speaker 1: I love, Michael was, like, laughing before the show about
25:36
Speaker 1: how they framed that.
25:36
Speaker 2: He gently, what is it, he kicked a smoke can?
25:40
Speaker 1: Is that what they said, Michael? Gently kicked a smoke can.
25:42
Speaker 2: Okay. All right, this is, like, fiery, but mostly peaceful. 2.0.
25:46
Speaker 1: The framing of this is so ridiculous, as if it
25:50
Speaker 1: was nonviolent. The guy's, like, rioting with all these protesters.
25:54
Speaker 1: They're in the downtown area.
25:56
Speaker 2: They're throwing... smoke.
25:58
Speaker 1: Grenades at the law enforcement. And then he gets hit
26:03
Speaker 1: in the head by a non-lethal crowd control munition and
26:07
Speaker 1: he sues the government for millions of dollars. Portland saw
26:12
Speaker 1: incessant rioting for over 100 days.
26:16
Speaker 2: They destroyed this entire downtown area.
26:20
Speaker 1: And I don't know if anybody remembers Seattle where they
26:23
Speaker 1: had CHOP, right? This ridiculous idea of of a police
26:30
Speaker 1: officer-free zone that was super lawless and dangerous. These people
26:35
Speaker 1: destroyed American cities.
26:36
Speaker 2: They ruined them.
26:38
Speaker 1: And LaBella's $ 7. 6 million settlement will be divided into an
26:42
Speaker 1: additional $ 3. 5 million payment intended to go toward legal, medical,
26:47
Speaker 1: and housing expenses. And the remaining funds will go toward
26:50
Speaker 1: paying for his expenses over the course of the next
26:52
Speaker 1: 40 years.
26:54
Speaker 2: Of LaBella's life. Looks like we have a problem, Michael.
26:58
Speaker 2: My background's freaking out. No worries.
27:01
Speaker 1: We're just going to keep going while Michael's dealing with that. Now,
27:03
Speaker 1: of course, there was unprecedented lawlessness and violence. Law enforcement
27:09
Speaker 1: was wildly inhibited from doing their job by the mayor
27:13
Speaker 1: and the governor. I saw this happen in Kenosha, Wisconsin
27:15
Speaker 1: when Michael and I were there. Tony Evers would not
27:17
Speaker 1: send National Guardsmen to Kenosha, Wisconsin. During the rioting which
27:22
Speaker 1: meant that there was a lot more damage and police
27:24
Speaker 1: officers local officers were really inhibited from doing their job
27:28
Speaker 1: because they didn't have the support they needed and LaBella
27:31
Speaker 1: is actually one of many anti police BLM Portland protesters
27:36
Speaker 1: Who has received large government payouts? So we are paying
27:40
Speaker 1: the people who tried to destroy this country in 2020.
27:43
Speaker 1: Across America, there was billions in damages. People died, businesses
27:48
Speaker 1: never reopened. It was an assault, not only on our
27:52
Speaker 1: civilization physically, but also ideologically, the mythos of who we
27:56
Speaker 1: are as Americans, our founding fathers, everything we stand for.
27:59
Speaker 1: It was under attack in 2020.
28:02
Speaker 2: By these people, by people like LaBella. And now we're
28:08
Speaker 2: gonna just reward them, apparently?
28:11
Speaker 1: People that caused all that chaos are becoming millionaires on
28:13
Speaker 1: the taxpayer's dime.
28:15
Speaker 2: It is infuriating.
28:16
Speaker 1: And as somebody who was witnessing these BLM riots on
28:20
Speaker 1: the ground, I can't tell you how frustrating and upsetting
28:24
Speaker 1: it is that these people aren't in jail.
28:26
Speaker 2: They should all be in jail.
28:28
Speaker 1: But still, I mean, they are total, and none of
28:31
Speaker 1: them really served sentences. You had Kamala Harris fundraising to
28:34
Speaker 1: get them released, to pay for their bail. The whole
28:38
Speaker 1: thing is so disordered and backward and unjust that those
28:42
Speaker 1: who would destroy our communities, the infrastructure, the businesses, the
28:48
Speaker 1: good name of this country are now going to be
28:50
Speaker 1: rewarded by the taxpayers for their destructive, illegal, criminal, violent behavior.
28:56
Speaker 1: It's disgusting. Now somehow this next story actually upsets me
29:01
Speaker 1: even more than that one. Cynthia Erivo, a black queer
29:05
Speaker 1: woman who just starred in the Wicked film, will play
29:08
Speaker 1: the part of Jesus Christ in the Jesus Christ Super Bowl,
29:13
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Jesus Christ Superstar Hollywood Bowl musical. Here is
29:18
Speaker 1: Cynthia while promoting Wicked and describing who she is as
29:23
Speaker 1: a person.
29:24
Speaker 2: Take a listen.
29:24
Speaker 10: As a black woman who is queer, who shows up
29:28
Speaker 10: in this way, there's something that I have that many
29:34
Speaker 10: other Elphabas don't have. They don't know what it is
29:37
Speaker 10: like to walk through the world like this.
29:38
Speaker 5: I do.
29:39
Speaker 8: Yeah.
29:39
Speaker 10: And so that innately, immediately makes me completely different. And
29:44
Speaker 10: the way he shot it, the way, like, the space
29:46
Speaker 10: that he gave me to do it is fucking awesome.
29:48
Speaker 7: I bet it's so sick.
29:51
Speaker 2: Okay, so not an appropriate Jesus at all.
29:55
Speaker 1: And I want to talk about Jesus Christ Superstar, the film,
29:58
Speaker 1: a little bit, because I think it's important context of
30:00
Speaker 1: the story. Jesus Christ Superstar is a musical about the
30:04
Speaker 1: passion of Christ. And it was also adopted into a
30:07
Speaker 1: movie in 1973. And I love this movie. It is
30:11
Speaker 1: one of my favorite films of all time. Like Michael,
30:14
Speaker 1: I've made him watch it a ton. It's ridiculous how
30:17
Speaker 1: much I love this movie, especially around Easter. And the
30:21
Speaker 1: soundtrack and the dancing, it's incredible. And in that era
30:25
Speaker 1: of the 60s and 70s, everything was very irreverent and
30:29
Speaker 1: purposely subversive toward Christianity.
30:31
Speaker 2: And believe me, I am.
30:33
Speaker 1: Somebody who's really sensitive to that kind of thing, sensitive
30:37
Speaker 1: to people being irreverent and subversive of Christianity. You guys know,
30:40
Speaker 1: you listen to the show. I care a lot about that.
30:44
Speaker 1: At the same time, Jesus Christ Superstar, I don't feel
30:48
Speaker 1: is disrespectful. Jesus Christ Superstar uses the hippie culture rock opera,
30:54
Speaker 1: modern dancing, modern clothing, and yet somehow still manages, in
30:59
Speaker 1: my opinion, to be thoughtful and respectful. One of my
31:01
Speaker 1: favorite moments is when Jesus is brought to Herod. And
31:05
Speaker 1: Herod is this sort of flamboyant, overweight, decadent guy.
31:10
Speaker 2: It's actually very queer-coded.
31:12
Speaker 1: You get a sense that Herod is a sexual heathen
31:17
Speaker 1: and kind of a glutton, and he's portrayed in as disgusting,
31:20
Speaker 1: and even the queerness around this musical number that he's
31:24
Speaker 1: in is viewed as pretty disgusting and.
31:30
Speaker 3: Immoral.
31:31
Speaker 1: And he sings this mocking song with this theatrical flair,
31:34
Speaker 1: and it's playful, and yet it's also repulsive. And I
31:38
Speaker 1: think this scene actually does an amazing job of creatively
31:41
Speaker 1: emphasizing the vapid emptiness of earthly authority, which is rightfully
31:47
Speaker 1: presented as nothing but a literal joke.
31:49
Speaker 2: In the face of.
31:50
Speaker 1: God himself, in the face of Jesus Christ. And there's
31:53
Speaker 1: another moment, Michael, we can throw this up there. There's
31:55
Speaker 1: another moment when Judas, the character who plays Judas, is
31:59
Speaker 1: running away from military tanks, representing his internal turmoil and
32:04
Speaker 1: desperation after betraying Jesus.
32:07
Speaker 2: Now, were there military tanks in 33 AD? The answer
32:10
Speaker 2: is no.
32:12
Speaker 1: The image of him running away in a modern, almost
32:16
Speaker 1: cinematic way contrasts sharply with the biblical account, but this woman,
32:21
Speaker 1: I think, powerfully captures his sense of guilt, of fear, abandonment.
32:26
Speaker 1: The tanks in our modern minds are a symbol of
32:29
Speaker 1: power and authority, and I think it highlights the crushing weight,
32:35
Speaker 1: the crushing weight of Judas's decision to betray Jesus and
32:39
Speaker 1: the irreparable consequences that follow. So while the scene departs
32:42
Speaker 1: from traditional biblical imagery, It keeps the emotional and spiritual
32:46
Speaker 1: core intact by portraying Judas's internal struggle and the overwhelming
32:51
Speaker 1: sense of guilt or regret that he feels leading eventually
32:54
Speaker 1: to suicide. The modern context and visual intensity, I think,
33:00
Speaker 1: enhances the emotional resonance of Judas's fall while still reflecting
33:05
Speaker 1: profound spiritual themes. What I'm trying to say is that
33:09
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ Superstar bridges the gap between the ancient and
33:12
Speaker 1: the modern in making the biblical story feel accessible while
33:15
Speaker 1: maintaining the depth of its emotional and spiritual core. I
33:19
Speaker 1: really feel this way about this movie. This is clearly, however,
33:22
Speaker 1: not what the latest musical rendition of Jesus Christ Superstar
33:26
Speaker 1: is trying to do by making Jesus a queer woman.
33:31
Speaker 1: There's a difference between creatively and respectfully retelling the passion
33:36
Speaker 1: and straight-up subversion. The Jesus Christ Superstar movie doesn't aim
33:40
Speaker 1: to alter the core character biblical narrative or its message.
33:44
Speaker 1: It uses modern elements like music and style to emphasize
33:49
Speaker 1: the emotional and the spiritual truths in a way that
33:51
Speaker 1: still honors the original narrative. But making Jesus a queer
33:55
Speaker 1: person or a woman shifts the focus away from the
33:58
Speaker 1: core message of the original biblical story. And it not
34:03
Speaker 1: only distorts the historical and theological context, but it also
34:06
Speaker 1: reduces the passion really to just woke social commentary. It
34:10
Speaker 1: is clearly aimed at stripping away the depth and the reverence.
34:14
Speaker 1: And ultimately it is a form of deep disrespect. And
34:16
Speaker 1: it is a really upsetting story to me. It kind
34:19
Speaker 1: of shows you how disgusting Hollywood has become, how they
34:23
Speaker 1: are really truly set up to spit on biblical narratives
34:28
Speaker 1: and Christian people in this country. Because it's also meant to,
34:33
Speaker 1: I think, purposely upset Christians in this nation. We're a
34:37
Speaker 1: group of people Christian Americans who are just constantly attacked
34:41
Speaker 1: by our culture. And I think this is perhaps even
34:45
Speaker 1: a lash out from Hollywood. They're angry at the way
34:48
Speaker 1: that we vote, the way that our country is turning
34:50
Speaker 1: more conservative and much more traditional.
34:55
Speaker 2: And they are, I think, trying.
34:57
Speaker 1: To purposely infuriate and disrespect the Christian community in this country.
35:02
Speaker 2: I do think that.
35:04
Speaker 1: I want to end, and this is actually related, but
35:06
Speaker 1: I want to end with this story from The Atlantic
35:08
Speaker 1: It's titled, How COVID Pushed a Generation of Young People
35:12
Speaker 1: to the Right. And this article reads that, in a
35:15
Speaker 1: few years, what we've grown accustomed to calling Generation Z
35:18
Speaker 1: may reveal itself to contain a subgroup, Generation C, a
35:22
Speaker 1: COVID-affected and, for now, strikingly conservative generation. In 2016, voters
35:28
Speaker 1: aged 18 to 29 went for Hillary Clinton by 18 points.
35:30
Speaker 1: In 2024, Donald Trump closed the gap losing voters under
35:40
Speaker 1: 30 by a 51 to 47 margin. And actually, what's
35:44
Speaker 1: fascinating about that statistic is there are other surveys suggesting
35:51
Speaker 1: that Gen Z 25 and under, President Trump actually won
35:56
Speaker 1: that cohort. So it's only the 25 and older group
35:59
Speaker 1: that's sort of dragging down the numbers. and showing that
36:02
Speaker 1: Donald Trump lost the under-30 vote. But actually, the younger
36:05
Speaker 1: you get, the more right-wing and pro-Trump you get. Really
36:09
Speaker 1: fascinating stuff. One recent CBS poll found that Americans under
36:14
Speaker 1: 30 weren't evenly split between the parties.
36:17
Speaker 2: They were.
36:20
Speaker 1: Actually more pro-Trump than boomers over 65. So they're saying
36:24
Speaker 1: that Gen Z is actually more right-wing than people over 65,
36:29
Speaker 1: which is just an incredible statistic. And meanwhile, a 2024
36:33
Speaker 1: analysis of Americans under 30 found the lowest levels of
36:37
Speaker 1: confidence in most public institutions since the survey began. So
36:42
Speaker 1: in the last decade alone, young Americans' trust in the
36:45
Speaker 1: president has also declined by 60% while their trust in
36:48
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, Wall Street, and Congress has declined by
36:51
Speaker 1: more than 30%. So no trust in our institutions. They're
36:55
Speaker 1: trending rightward.
36:56
Speaker 2: What is going on?
36:58
Speaker 1: And the author theorizes, I think correctly, The pandemic played
37:02
Speaker 1: a huge role in this shift.
37:03
Speaker 2: Like I said, I agree.
37:05
Speaker 1: And yet nowhere in this article does the author attribute
37:09
Speaker 1: that distrust to our government lying to us.
37:11
Speaker 2: He just doesn't acknowledge it. He doesn't talk about it.
37:13
Speaker 1: He says, yeah, it's probably the pandemic, but also we're
37:16
Speaker 1: not going to talk about why people wouldn't trust our
37:18
Speaker 1: institutions after COVID-19. And you're seeing a lot of these
37:21
Speaker 1: articles pop up where Democrats want to diagnose why they're failing,
37:25
Speaker 1: why they're losing young people, but they don't want to
37:27
Speaker 1: authentically own up to their own mistakes.
37:30
Speaker 2: Here's what the author writes.
37:32
Speaker 1: One cross-country analysis published by the Systemic Risk Center at
37:36
Speaker 1: the London School of Economics found that people who experience
37:39
Speaker 1: epidemics between the ages of 18 and 25 have less
37:42
Speaker 1: confidence in their scientific and political leadership. This loss of
37:45
Speaker 1: trust persists for years, even decades, in part because political
37:49
Speaker 1: ideology tends to solidify in a person's 20s.
37:53
Speaker 2: That's it. That's all we get.
37:56
Speaker 1: He cites a study, but doesn't dissect the why. Why
38:00
Speaker 1: is it that pandemics just make people distrust the government?
38:04
Speaker 1: Or did the government repeatedly lie to and gas at
38:07
Speaker 1: the public about everything from masks, vaccines, the virus origin,
38:11
Speaker 1: weaponized mass censorship and social pressure, violated bodily autonomy, got
38:15
Speaker 1: people fired and expelled for noncompliance during those years? It's like, yeah,
38:19
Speaker 1: we heard that pandemics can have this effect on people,
38:21
Speaker 1: but then they don't talk about, well, why would it
38:23
Speaker 1: have that effect on people?
38:24
Speaker 2: It's like, look what just happened.
38:26
Speaker 1: But there's no acknowledgement of that in the article. And
38:29
Speaker 1: I think this is actually the same issue with artificial
38:32
Speaker 1: reproductive technologies like IVF. It's completely avoiding the central issue,
38:37
Speaker 1: which in IVF's case is infertility. It skips curing the
38:41
Speaker 1: underlying issue and instead just works around it. And like
38:45
Speaker 1: I said, there's a spiritual element to this too. How
38:47
Speaker 1: much of the changing political landscape is a result of
38:51
Speaker 1: a thirst for spiritual fulfillment?
38:53
Speaker 2: No one's going to.
38:56
Speaker 1: Accuse the 70s of being super respectful. But compared to
38:59
Speaker 1: what Hollywood is doing now, 1973 Jesus Christ Superstar could
39:04
Speaker 1: have been produced by St.
39:05
Speaker 2: Paul himself.
39:07
Speaker 1: To truly grasp the weight of the shift we're seeing,
39:09
Speaker 1: it's essential to recognize that we're not just dealing with
39:12
Speaker 1: policy changes or ideological battles.
39:15
Speaker 2: We are witnessing a deep.
39:16
Speaker 1: Moral and spiritual crisis, an awakening of the people who
39:20
Speaker 1: are recognizing the crisis. Whether it's the ethics surrounding IVF,
39:25
Speaker 1: the government's handling of the pandemic or the attempts to
39:28
Speaker 1: distort sacred traditions like the betrayal of Jesus Christ, we're
39:31
Speaker 1: constantly asking moral questions of ourselves as a society. And
39:35
Speaker 1: this political transformation is more than political. It is really
39:38
Speaker 1: truly existential. The obsession with technological fixes to deep-rooted human
39:45
Speaker 1: issues like infertility demonstrates a detachment of from the natural
39:50
Speaker 1: and moral order. The same forces that distill life into
39:55
Speaker 1: a transaction or use religious authority for woke social commentary
39:59
Speaker 1: are the ones that disconnect us from a deeper understanding
40:03
Speaker 1: and purpose. And as the pandemic shifted young people's political leanings,
40:06
Speaker 1: it also presented them with an opportunity to redefine what
40:10
Speaker 1: they stand for.
40:11
Speaker 2: What is Gen Z? What are we for? What are
40:13
Speaker 2: we about?
40:13
Speaker 1: What kind of society do we want to build? The
40:17
Speaker 1: generations that lived through disorienting years saw firsthand how easily
40:22
Speaker 1: the truth was bent and how our institutions lied to us,
40:27
Speaker 1: lied to our faces.
40:28
Speaker 2: And I think the next.
40:29
Speaker 1: Generation is going to continue to experience a great cultural
40:34
Speaker 1: battle that won't just be fought in Congress or in
40:39
Speaker 1: protest on the streets, but in the hearts of each
40:42
Speaker 1: individual in this country trying to make sense of the
40:45
Speaker 1: world that we've inherited. And I think that is something
40:48
Speaker 1: to be really, really optimistic about. And that's all I
40:50
Speaker 1: have for you guys today. Thank you, as always, for

41:11
Speaker 9: I think a lot of people are underestimating the Trump
41:13
Speaker 9: effect in this midterm. You've heard it yourself. Act like
41:17
Speaker 9: I'm on the ballot. Why is he saying that? You
41:20
Speaker 9: think he doesn't know what he's doing? That is the
41:22
Speaker 9: X factor. Folks, elections are a math issue. That is it.
