Progressive propaganda is everywhere, especially on TikTok, and we cannot let it go unrebutted. So Bri and I are responding to a lot of the nonsense that we are seeing on social media. We are also talking about the new version of the Lilo and Stitch movie. What does this say about not just how Disney sees family, but also how our culture in general sees family? We've got all of this and more on today's episode of Relatable. It's brought to you by our friends at Good ranchers. Go to good ranchers.com use code ally for $40 off that's good ranchers.com code ally hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Hoping everyone is having a wonderful week so far. All right, we've got a fun, fun, more light hearted episode today. I mean we might be answering some more serious questions and reacting to some content that needs a serious response, but instead of going topic by topic or explaining one topic today, we'll be reacting to some trends that we're seeing on social media. It's good to know what the other side is up to, what's going on in their heads. Before we get into I just want to remind you to sign up for Share the Arrows.

Okay, so Bri has given me all of this reaction content, and, you know, sometimes for some reason, my team likes to give me things that I'm very disturbed by. Like? Like doll content. Doll conference content where adults bring their dolls and pretend like they're babies. I don't know if we have that kind of content here. I have not watched these, so I am reacting in real time with all of you. Maybe we will try to peer into the disturbed mind of Breed to know why she has tormented us with some of this content. Try to get her reasoning here. Is there anyone that you think that we should start with to react?
Ali Stuckey
Since you said that, I feel like we should start with reaction 23.
Brianna Wiest
Okay, play it. Reaction 23. I am a Disney adult, and I know this may be a weird turn off for a lot of people and they don't understand why I do what I do, but that's okay. I'm no stranger to feeling sad for days at a time and barely being able to make it out of bed or feeling so anxious and overstimulated just by going outside that I feel nauseous and get to the verge of passing out. My parents raised me with Disneyland, so it's grown to be a very comforting space for me. And sometimes all I want when I'm having a bad set of days is to go to the safe space that reminds me so much of my childhood. Every day is a challenge, and we're all just trying to get through it as much as we can. This is just how I cope. So I sometimes get really sad when people make fun of me for it. So with that happy World mental health day, here's a reminder to try and be as kind as much as you are able and that you are so loved. Okay, I have so many questions. I'm not making fun. This is publicly put out in the world. Okay? So it's not like we're peering into this person's diary. This person wants to publicize this. And so it's totally justified for us to comment on it. But I have questions. Is she carrying around a doll? She is in a baby carriage. Okay, see, here's the thing. Here's the thing is that there is something seriously dark going on here. There's something really wrong, I think, in someone's psyche for them to. Not only. I think that there is a problem with being, like a pathological Disney adult. This was. This is a theme park that can be fun for parents. For sure, it can be fun for adults, but to have this kind of identity Wrapped around Disney, a company that makes entertainment and rides for children. There is something going on there. But to pretend to have a child that you're bringing to the park that is not a real child, There is something very deeply disturbing going on there. And I will not accept this as this is just an outlet for this person to feel happy. This person doesn't have special needs. She doesn't. She doesn't seem like mentally incapacitated at all. She seems like a smart, normal, functioning person who deals with sadness in the range of human emotions like we all do. And I do not accept that this is like a neutral or moral or amoral outlet for someone's depression or anxiety. I just don't. Life isn't about being happy at whatever cost. Life, I mean, in part is about cultivating and making the world around you better, not just serving yourself with like unlimited hits of dopamine. I. Am I being too harsh, Bri?
Ali Stuckey
No, she calls it. Yeah, I don't know if you saw the small text. She calls it reborn therapy. She says, I'm a Disney adult who goes to Disney with my reborn doll because I'm in reborn therapy. So that's what I think triggers me the most because I'm just like, that's first of all, not a healthy way to cope. But also it is so inconvenient for everyone around you. Also, I know there are tons of strollers at Disneyland and there should be because kids go there. But like, you see the shot of her walking around with a full stroller for this doll, I'm like, that's. That's just inconvenient for everyone around you.
Brianna Wiest
Yeah. You know, and it's also uncomfortable for everyone around you. And this is the same thing as people like identifying as a they them. You are forcing others to bend reality, to bend the laws of grammar, to bend everything for your perception and your imagination. And so when people see this grown woman who is not special needs that I can see walking around with a doll in a stroller, are you supposed to be like, oh, yes, ma' am, you can cut in line. Oh, do you need to get right here because you've got your stroller. Oh, your baby is, is so cute. And so you have to affirm these delusions. Like you said, it's not a healthy way to cope. Not making fun of mental health struggles at all or whatever trauma maybe she endured, but there are healthy ways to go through that. This is not one of them. This is, I think, very self serving. And you're trying to justify it.
Ali Stuckey
Yeah. And another frame of this says, going to Disney with my support Dolly group. So you see a shot of like a couple of them in a row. These are like women who are enabling each other to do this. So it's just probably a never ending cycle of feeding that.
Brianna Wiest
What happened? What happened to have this perpetual adolescence that we have today? Like, I feel like there's so many manifestations of this. I hear today that a lot of teens don't want to drive. They don't want to get their driver's license, they don't care about independence. Whereas I don't know about you, but I couldn't wait to get my driver's license just to be able to drive to school. I wasn't doing anything, anything crazy. I just wanted that independence. And all of my friends were the same way. But what is it that childhood and immaturity is lasting so long today?
Ali Stuckey
I don't know. I couldn't tell you. I didn't know that about driving because I remember also the day I got my license was like the best day ever.
Brianna Wiest
Yeah.
Ali Stuckey
So I don't know. But Disney, I mean, I think Disney adults, their appeal is just that, like, this is a place where they can, you know, forget about, try to forget about adult problems. And again, it's like, it's just not a healthy coping mechanism. I do have said this before. I do think you can go to Disneyland as an adult by yourself or with adult friends and have fun. I think it's a fun theme park. But when your identity is Disney, when your identity is being a Disney adult, you're coping for something. Like there's something that's missing for you. I feel like.
Brianna Wiest
And I do think it should be that adults are the secondary customer. I still think all of the theme parks should primarily cater to adolescents and to kids. And if adults also have fun doing that, I think that's okay. Like my brother and his wife, before they had kids and when I was in college, they lived in Orlando and I visited them when I was a freshman in college and we went to Disney World. I don't remember which park we went to, but it was fun. Like we did adult stuff. And so I think that is fine. But I do think that Disney, it seems like, is shifting to really primarily cater to adults. And that is troubling to me when it's become that big of a trend and that big of a societal shift at the same time that people are rejecting children. Like, they don't want children, they're less tolerant of children, they don't want to hear children pro abortion, pro antinatalism, but they're themselves acting like kids. There's a connection there.
Ali Stuckey
Yeah.
Brianna Wiest
My next sponsor is Fellowship Home Loans and I got a really touching message from one of my listeners, viewers who worked with Fellowship Home Loans recently who said that this call and working with them was an answer to prayer. He had been denied by two different lenders. One told him that his debt to income ratio didn't work. Another said his home wasn't worth enough. And he was exhausted by this. He was anxious and so he prayed about it. He decided to call Fellowship Home Loans and Fellowship Home Loans help helped him pay off his first mortgage, his second mortgage and all of his debt. And this is exactly what this company is all about. Mike and Brian, who started Fellowship Home Loans are the real deal. They are Christians. They are trying to honor God and how they conduct their business and they are helping you make wise, faith filled decisions during very stressful seasons. This is a mortgage company that will work with you, will pray with you, will do whatever they can to help you. And you know that is very difficult to find nowadays. So don't hesitate. Go to fellowshiphomeloans.com alli to get started. Started. Get $500 of credit at closing. That's just for my listeners. Go to Fellowship Home Loans.com ally nationwide mortgage bankers dba fellowship home loans equal housing lender in MLS number 819382 okay, we haven't talked about this yet. Actually. I don't know when this episode is coming out. So maybe we have. But as far as I know we have it. Speaking of Disney, the Lilo and Stitch live action remake, have you seen the stuff about that?
Ali Stuckey
Yeah, I've seen people talking about. I haven't seen the movie.
Brianna Wiest
Okay, so Lilo and Stitch, the original, I don't really remember it that much but like all Disney movies, it starts out with parents dying. Why do all Disney movies start out like that? Literally everyone that I can think of there is a dead parent.
Ali Stuckey
Yep, that's the thing. Yeah.
Brianna Wiest
So Lilo and Stitch, Lilo in the original cartoon, she is adopted by her sister after her parents die and her sister sacrifices a lot of things to take her in. And it's all about ohana means family. You put family first. Well, in this live action remake, first of all, why do we need a live action remake of Lilo and Stitch? I don't know. We don't. But in this one, the sister or the older sister gives Lilo. Lilo's the girl, right?
Ali Stuckey
Yeah.
Brianna Wiest
Lilo up to foster care and says, no, I'm going to college. I don't want you in my custody. And so like girl bossed so close to the sun that her poor sister was sacrificed. Like ohana means foster care. I guess it's really sad. So not only are like you are remaking a story about dead parents, even worse, even sadder. And that's what I'm saying about like Disney now targeting adults. Like, do I want My child, my 5 year old to be watching a movie like that?
Ali Stuckey
Yeah. And also I feel like that I know they were not trying to make a scene for scenes depiction of the animated movie, which I agree with you, we didn't even need it to begin with. And it's also not live action because Stitch is not a human. So it's animated still. But, but the thing I saw a side by side scene in the animated movie. There's a scene where Lilo, they're, they're fighting, the sisters are fighting and Lilo is saying, ohana means family. What would our parents think of, you know, whatever situation they're in? And in the live action one, Nani the sister says, well, our parents abandoned us. And obviously that's not an animated movie. But it's like so much darker and it's so much more pessimistic than in the animated one. Maybe that's what they were going for. But I, I agree. I'm like Lilo and Stitch is one of my favorite animated movies because it's so sweet and because the themes of it are so consistent and yeah, it seems like that was Lost. That's so disappointing.
Brianna Wiest
Yeah, it is. Probably the thinking is probably representation. And representation is a whole horrible justification for including all kinds of depravity in books and movies and entertainment for kids. Well, what about the kid that's in foster care? What about the kid who is sexually abused? What about the kid who goes grows up with two dads or two moms or whatever? So we have to represent them. No, we don't need to retraumatize the kids. We don't actually need to do that. Representation is not the most important thing, especially when it comes to kids entertainment. Okay. And so this is just including too close to the sun and poor. I mean, I just feel, I feel bad for Lilo and I don't know why Disney would decide to go in that direction. I guess we can make no more like good original, creative movies. No, we just have to do Snow White remakes.
Ali Stuckey
You know the one that gets me is when they made a live action remake of the Lion King. It's like there aren't humans in that movie. So all of them are still animated.
Brianna Wiest
It's just like, what, cgi?
Ali Stuckey
Yeah, it's just like better animated. The Lion King.
Brianna Wiest
Yeah. Okay. They just can't. They're just hamstrung, I guess, by their progressive policies. I'm sure that we will get a live action remake of Frozen at some point. For sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, let's. What should we do next? What reaction should we do next?
Ali Stuckey
We do react one.
Brianna Wiest
Okay, I'll just let you pick them. Let's do react one.
Ali Stuckey
Some carry hate. We carry the largest trans pride flag to ever be flown in a national park and unfurled it on the side of El Cap to prove a point that trans is natural. The Trump administration and transphobes would love to have you believe that being trans is unique, unnatural. But species that can transition sexes can be found on every continent and in every ocean on planet Earth. So call it a protest, call it a celebration. We are bringing elevation to liberation. They try to erase us from government websites and education systems and libraries. So we raise this flag higher than ever before so every trans person knows that they have people that love them in their core corner. The people united will never be defeated.
Brianna Wiest
Okay, well, humans are not fish. Humans are not other species, and humans are sexually dimorphic. Humans cannot transition sex. And you see what he did there. He didn't say transition gender because for a long time the ridiculous and false assertion was that gender and sex are separate. That gender is how you identify and how you manifest your feelings about who you are. And your sex is biological. Now they're just saying you can actually transition your sex, but you can't, because sex is determined by your chromosomes, by your gametes, and also by your secondary sexual characteristics. Often, but on a more fundamental level, it's your gametes and that cannot be transitioned. It can't be transitioned. So even if it is true that other species can transition sex, the question is, can humans transition sexes? And the answer is no. It is actually the least natural thing in the world. It is not possible for you to become a man or become a woman. It is not even possible for someone who says that they are intersex to be both sexes or to transition from one sex to another. They have some kind of sexual anomaly or disorder that doesn't negate the rule of the gender binary. And gender and sex, by the way, are interchangeable. I don't buy this idea that this dualistic idea that how you feel on the inside can oppose biological reality and that trumps biological reality. That's a like a religious, philosophical idea that is just not true and it's stupid. So it doesn't matter how high you fly your massive trans flag, if something is natural and obvious and observable, you don't have to declare it with a giant flag in a national park. You just don't. You just don't. This person is Patagonia, right? Drag queen.
Ali Stuckey
Drag queen. Patagonia.
Brianna Wiest
Yeah, Patagonia. And he has been used as a mascot. I think it was. No, it was like the North Face ironically, not Patagonia. Yeah. So somehow this person has become a spokesperson for the outdoors, for Yosemite. That's crazy.
Ali Stuckey
Yeah.
Brianna Wiest
Yeah.
Ali Stuckey
All those hikers are gonna see that flag and feel very seen.
Brianna Wiest
Yeah, I'm sure. Yeah. We all exist because of the existence of male and female. By the way, quick pause to tell you that you need to hurry up and get the father in your life. Whether it is your father, whether it is your baby daddy, your husband, you need to get him good ranchers for Father's day. If he likes steak, he likes beef, he likes chicken, he likes seafood, he likes America, then this is the gift for him. When you buy a box of good Ranchers meat, you are supporting American farms and ranches, unlike the vast majority of meat in the grocery store and this is actually from an American farm and ranch. Plus this is a Christian family owned company. They try to glorify God in everything they do. They care so much about the quality of their product and their customers. You will love working with good ranchers. You can subscribe. Get that box of meat to your front door every month they'll add on a free package of meat to your order for the life of your subscription. When you use my code ali, you get $40 off your order. Go to good ranchers.com code ali. Okay, let's move on to let's do some relationships. Let's do men cheating. React 5.
Ali Stuckey
Just because a man sleeps with another woman does not mean he doesn't still respect you. That doesn't mean that he doesn't love you. No, she. She means nothing to him. And if you think I'm gonna give up my life for a man that loves me and respects me and take care of me, he didn't claim her. He put that ring on my finger. Okay, so why am I going to leave over someone that doesn't mean anything? He's a man. He's just going to Be a man. That's it. My soon to be husband, like, he treats me well, he respects me. I don't have to ask for anything. But at the same time, I also do what I'm supposed to do with a woman. I cook, I clean up, I shut the fuck up so I know how to keep my man.
Brianna Wiest
Oh no, that is so terrible. I just want to tell you, woman, that you are a full person made in the image of God. And because of that, you should be in a relationship where you are honored and you are truly respected. Respect doesn't just mean that you are given an allowance or that you're given a roof over your head. That might be part of what it means for a man to be a provider for you. But that also means exclusivity. That means loyalty. That means fidelity. That means he is not going to risk giving you an estimate std. He's not going to risk breaking your heart by satisfying his lust in other women. That is a man that has no self control. That is a man that you cannot trust. Not only can you not trust him with your body or your heart, you cannot trust him to continue to provide all of the things that you feel that you deserve. Because he is a man without wisdom. He is a man without strength. He is a man who cannot control his most carnal desires. That is not a man you want to raise kids with. You deserve more than that because as a woman, you are a full person made in God's image. And I'm sorry that you have been taught to value yourself so little. Okay. Do you have any thoughts on that, Bri? No.
Ali Stuckey
You said it all.
Brianna Wiest
Okay.
Ali Stuckey
I just, I. I don't know if she. This could be like tongue in cheek, but it. I don't think it is. I just want to say that just in case it is.
Brianna Wiest
But why even get married to someone? She said that she's about to get married to him. Why even do that?
Ali Stuckey
No, I don't know. I don't know.
Brianna Wiest
Gives me the ick.
Ali Stuckey
Yeah.
Brianna Wiest
Okay, let's move on to theology. Oh, I know this one. Okay, let's play React 10 Happiness. I'm jealous of the way that many of these right wing evangelical people seem so happy. And I think that they are because they live in this bubble of we all are. We all are chosen by God because of the way we vote. And when honestly the, the way you're treating other people through your vote is the least like, like Jesus thing of all time in the history of people who didn't act like Jesus. So there are days that. Because I struggle with being an empathetic person and being like, how are more people not upset that we are just deporting people and treating poor people this way and taking away resources from the people who need it the most, I wish I could just sit back and be like, God's got it. And I'm. And I have what I have because I'm blessed. I wish I could be that stupid. I really do. Okay, well, I have some good news about your wish, but you're like, that was just so not articulate at all. No one believes that we are chosen by God because of our vote. We have disagreement on what the allocation of resources and allocation of tax dollars should look like and what the role and the scope of the government should be. And yes, we do believe in the deportation of illegal aliens. That is not a radical belief. In fact, all Democrats believed that until Trump ran for office back in 2015. Because we believe in citizenship. We believe in the existence of a country. We believe in sovereignty, which is necessary to protect the rights of a country's citizens, which means you need to have borders, because without borders, you're not a sovereign country. If you're not a sovereign country, you don't have citizenship. And if you don't have citizenship, then you really have no rights that you are entitled to. And so, yes, we are of the radical belief that we should have a country. This person started, I remember this clip by saying, like, oh, I'm gonna. I'm gonna lose followers, or I might lose or gain followers. Oh, my goodness. A liberal white woman in her kitchen talking about how she doesn't like conservative evangelicals. You rebel. You're so different. You're so. You're. You're just. You're edgy. Never heard anyone say that. And to articulate it with that much intelligence was really something. Bree, does this person. Does she seem happy and whole to you?
Ali Stuckey
Well, what I thought was funny was I think she maybe has teenage sons. You see people crossing in the background, and they're not even reacting, which means she's doing this a lot.
Brianna Wiest
They probably love Trump.
Ali Stuckey
Yeah, they're just used to her just ranting at her phone screen.
Brianna Wiest
Yeah, she does, I think, have quite a few followers.
Ali Stuckey
Yeah. Well, if she's consistent, then I guess it's.
Brianna Wiest
Yes, that makes sense. But this is just like a brand. It's so funny because on the one hand, they'll be like, oh, conservatives are so mean. They're so hateful. They're so angry all the time, just about Everything. But I. There's the. I won't even say the name. Actually, I don't even remember, but there's a popular podcast that's hosted by two liberal women, and they remind me of this. And, like, they are so, so bitter and, like, so resentful, so angry. It's okay to be passionate. Like, even if you disagreed. And I'm like, okay, you're just passionate about that subject. Like, you really believe it. Okay. But they, like, hate people. Just like, people just like everything people do, they hate it. They like, basic. They did like, some segment about, like, I hate hugs. I'm just like, you have issues. You have problems. Can you not connect that to the political ideas that you have?
Ali Stuckey
You gotta commend this woman a little bit for just, like, saying the quiet part out loud, that she's miserable and that we look like the happier people who have joy in our lives.
Brianna Wiest
Yeah.
Ali Stuckey
And that's really kind of what all those. You know, that podcast and all those other people, they know that too. They're just not saying it.
Brianna Wiest
Yeah, it's true. Our joy actually does not have to do with politics at all. It has to do with our faith. But our politics are out. They're an outpouring of that. And if you want an understanding of why we vote the way we do and how we connect that to our faith, even though you say it's the least like Jesus, you can listen to podcast called Relatable. We talk about it all the time now. You might still disagree, but we're not stupid. We have a reason for why we vote the way that we do and why we think these policies are better and more aligned with our. With our worldview. Okay, let's do a happy one. Let's do reaction 15. There he is. Let me tell you about. What is your ears. Let me tell you about. Let me tell you about Gina. Oh, you want to take a picture?
Ali Stuckey
Go take a picture with Mickey.
Brianna Wiest
That is so sweet. That's why Jesus said, let the little children come to me. For such as these belong the kingdom of heaven. It's like faith, like a child. You're not to that point yet to where you feel awkwardness and you want people to think a certain thing about you. So that little. I think a little girl was just saying what was on her heart. She was saying, let me tell you about Jesus. So sweet. I'm so glad they caught it on camera. I don't like putting kids on social media, but I'm glad that I saw that. That little. That's a Good act of evangelism.
Ali Stuckey
Yeah, that's a good use for it. Opposite of the first one that we looked at Disneyland.
Brianna Wiest
That is true. That is redemptive right there.
Ali Stuckey
Yeah. Yeah.
Brianna Wiest
Okay, let's look at this new airplane invention. React 22. If you love putting your feet up.
Ali Stuckey
In a plane, but find it so.
Brianna Wiest
Uncomfortable, you need this before your next trip. This is a foot sling. All you have to do is pop your shade hip down, unclip, wrap it around the table, and reclip.
Ali Stuckey
You can also adjust the straps depending on how long you want it.
Brianna Wiest
And then you pop your tray table back in and then put your feet on.
Ali Stuckey
And then you can relax and have a nice time.
Brianna Wiest
See you later. Okay. Is this for the short queens or something? Is this if you can't put your feet on the ground?
Ali Stuckey
No, I think people just like to put their feet up and she just wants to put her feet up.
Brianna Wiest
Oh, it would be so comfortable. Uncomfortable for the person. The chair in front of you for.
Ali Stuckey
That foot sling to be up.
Brianna Wiest
Yeah, because you'd be moving your feet. You just would. And it would probably, like, pull your seat back a little bit. Oh, no, that would be so annoying. And put your shoes back on.
Ali Stuckey
I was gonna say, what are your thoughts on the no shoes?
Brianna Wiest
I mean, socks are better than bare feet, but it still probably stinks. Now, if you have your socked feet under a blanket and I can't see them, then okay, pass.
Ali Stuckey
Really? That's a pass?
Brianna Wiest
I mean, I'm not saying that I would allow it if I saw it, but if I don't see see it. And for a long flight, like I will say, on my flight to Hawaii, I had socks on. I had special wool socks for my flight, but under my blanket, I did take my shoes off. It was an eight hour flight. Never barefoot, though. Never barefoot. Wow.
Ali Stuckey
Okay, so if you don't see it, then it's like if a tree falls in a forest.
Brianna Wiest
Exactly.
Ali Stuckey
Okay, got it.
Brianna Wiest
If you take your shoes off under a blanket, did it really happen? I don't know. I'll never know.
Ali Stuckey
We'll never know.
Brianna Wiest
Next sponsor is Hillsdale College. I love Hillsdale, though. There just aren't very many universities out there that are actually teaching people how to think, to think critically. Telling them the truth about America's foundation that speaks positively about the Constitution and about our Christian foundation as a country. But Hillsdale College is one of those universities, and right now they are offering 40 free online courses for you. You can learn about the works of C. S Lewis, the stories in the book of Genesis, the meaning of the Constitution, the rise and fall of the Roman Republic, the history of the ancient Christian Church. It's all amazing. They've got this new course called Understanding Capitalism that really demystifies and debris bunks a lot of the myths that you hear, the propaganda that you hear about capitalism. You can really understand it and then be able to defend your defense of capitalism. Go to Hillsdale. Edu Relatable. Enroll in this new course, Understanding Capitalism, or any of the 40 courses that sound interesting to you. It's totally for free and very easy to get started. Go to Hillsdale. Edu Relatable. Okay, let's see. Is there any. Are there any others that we really want to see?
Ali Stuckey
I think you'll probably like reaction eight.
Brianna Wiest
Eight dog. Well, I like it. Okay, like is an interesting way to describe what this looks like. It might be. Okay, let's look at React 8.
Ali Stuckey
As many of you saw, I had.
Brianna Wiest
An abor bore earlier this year, not only because I don't want children right now, but.
Ali Stuckey
You want to know the real reason I already have a baby. It's this one right here. And he cost me a lot of time and energy and money.
Brianna Wiest
And if I had to choose between.
Ali Stuckey
A human baby's needs and this one, I'm choosing this one every time. That's why this fall, there's only one candidate protecting our reproductive freedoms. And if she doesn't win, don't make me choose between a human baby and this one, because this one wins every freaking time.
Brianna Wiest
My political ideology is what ever makes that illegal. Every part of that. Actually. There are so many things in that clip that I think should be illegal. Having an abortion and owning a pit bull. And. But this really just goes to show, like, disordered priorities and disordered desires. Just put your whole life out of whack. It's like if you don't have the spokes of a wheel, like, properly placed in the hub, they're just going all over the place. You can't even ride your bike. It's broken. And that's really what's happening here. When you worship the creature rather than the Creator who is blessed forever. Amen. As Romans 1 tells us, then everything gets distorted and disordered. And when we see from the beginning that God is a God of order, and we see what that order looks like, in part, that means being made in God's image is male and female. Female. When you start denying all of that, everything just gets out of whack. And you start worshiping animals. And as Chesterton said, wherever you see animal worship, you also see child sacrifice. We got that all in one clip right there. And your politics should be whatever is the opposite of this person's. Like, if you cannot see how absolutely disturbing, depraved, and backwards and dark that is, that this is, like, a spiritual issue, a demonic problem here, then you need to be reading your Bible and praying a lot more. It could be that you have a seared conscience and you aren't able to determine what is right and what is wrong. Oh, my goodness. Just this person, she needs prayer. Is there anything else I need to know about that clip, Bri?
Ali Stuckey
No, that's pretty much it. This girl used to be on BuzzFeed. She's pretty. I think her name's Kelsey, and she has a pretty big following. I think she talks about this stuff all the time. Talks about having abortions and voting Democrats. So that's her thing now.
Brianna Wiest
And owning pit bulls.
Ali Stuckey
Owning pit bulls. Nightmare.
Brianna Wiest
Like, if you are not ready to have kids, don't have unprotected sex. Like, people act like that is the most difficult thing in the world. It is really not. If you don't want to digest food, don't eat your dinner. Like, it's really not difficult. Consent to sex is consent to pregnancy. You learn that, like, really early on. Okay, this. The description for this just says also screaming. So I'm so curious as to what it is. React 4. This is the Gabriel hood, and you are not welcome. That's why I need to be here. You need Jesus, ma' am.
Ali Stuckey
He can save you.
Brianna Wiest
He can give you a new heart.
Ali Stuckey
God can give you a new heart so that you love. What?
Brianna Wiest
God loves you.
Ali Stuckey
No, that's irrational.
Brianna Wiest
Oh, Bri. Oh, my goodness. What do you think?
Ali Stuckey
I think that's a good debate tactic.
Brianna Wiest
Yeah. If I'm ever on jubilee, that's what I'm gonna do.
Ali Stuckey
Yeah, scream.
Brianna Wiest
Now I'm just gonna scream at the top of my lungs.
Ali Stuckey
Yeah, you could drown out your opposition. I don't know. I think gayborhood is kind of a fun, fun word.
Brianna Wiest
You've never heard that? No, I had heard that. I don't know where or how, but I definitely feel like I've heard Gabriel. Wow.
Ali Stuckey
He was not welcome in the gayborhood.
Brianna Wiest
Not welcome, but good for him for appreciating Jesus. And she might be demonically possessed, actually. Okay, let's do.
Ali Stuckey
Well, some of these are.
Brianna Wiest
Okay, let's do a positive one. This says pause. This one is positive. So let's do react 7.
Ali Stuckey
How come every Time somebody says it's better to wait until you're married before you have kids. People are always like, well, he can.
Brianna Wiest
Still leave you even if you're married, duh, duh.
Ali Stuckey
The same way you can still die in a car accident even if you have your seatbelt on. But it's probably still a good idea.
Brianna Wiest
To put that seatbelt on when you.
Ali Stuckey
Get in the car, right? Marriage protects you and gives you benefits.
Brianna Wiest
That being a baby mama does not. It is absolutely true. I ran into a couple that were boyfriend girlfriend when we were in Hawaii. And I was just thinking about how many people fall into that category of basically living like you are married and you are just like chronic boyfriend girlfriend. And how in their minds they're like, well, marriage is just a piece of paper. It's just a ceremony and it's no big deal. It's not really going to change anything once we get married. There is a lot that changes once you get married. It is a much bigger commitment. Just the sheer hassle of going through a divorce versus breaking up is a barrier to separating, and that's a good thing. Like, there should be legal barriers. Like, it should be way more of a hassle to get a divorce than to break up. Because marriage actually means something. There are shared assets, there are hopefully shared children. But even just that commitment, that covenant you're making should be very difficult to sever both logistically and legally. When you get married, there will be arguments that you have that would have broken you up had you been dating. But when you're married, because you're committed to one another, you say, okay, I've got to figure this out. Yeah, you've made me so mad. And now I'm wondering, wow, I can't. You know, I can't believe you did that. And where even are we? How did we get here? All of those things that when you're dating someone even for a long time, might lead you to be like, you know what? I don't want to do this anymore. I want to see who else is out there. When you're married, of course you could still have that thought, but because it's a lot more difficult because you have intertwined your life with that person and you've made this legal and biblical commitment to them. You are more apt to think of how you're going to work through this disagreement and difference than just like, abandon ship. And so she's right, of course. It is security. And you can't know that until you are married. It's more than just a piece of paper. It's more than just a ceremony. It is a commitment that really protects women and children more than anything else. And like, the stigma against unwed motherhood that was hard fought by our ancestors for centuries was actually good. It was actually protective of women and children. So good for you, girl. Good for you. And I laughed at your facial expressions. Okay, let's do react. Nine was never quite as a team.
Ali Stuckey
Never quite as a team. I know I felt like this before, but now I feel it even more because it came from me.
Brianna Wiest
My gosh. Okay, if you were just listening to that, let me explain. These are two gay men showing their IVF journey. So. And they're using, like, chicken nuggets to represent. So they both start with 20 donor eggs. So 40 total. And just a reminder of, like, how difficult it is for the female body to. It says donate, but it's to sell those eggs. We release one egg a month. And so for you to ha. To. For them to retrieve 20 eggs from one female, you have to be injected with all these drugs that increase the rate of breast cancer and other kinds of cancers to hyper ovulate, to take those eggs in a very painful process. It's horrible for humans. We don't even know the effect fully that it has on children. Okay, so they fertilized those 40 eggs with their sperm, and they got 28 embryos. Of those 28 embryos, only 10 were deemed viable. So all of the other ones had some kind of fetal anomaly. It could be something like down syndrome that you can test the chromosomes for. So they selected 10 that they thought were the best, the brightest. They probably selected by gender. They could have even selected by eye color if they wanted to. This is eugenics. This is what happens. And many of these IVF processes, especially when it comes to gay couples. And then after those 10 strongest ones were selected, three were transferred to surrogate. So it sounds like they still have seven leftover. Three were transferred to two different surrogates, one miscarried. The transfer process is very risky for these embryos. And so think about the loss of life here. We've got 18 embryos, human beings alive, made in the image of God that were discarded because they didn't make the cut. They weren't strong enough. That is the normal process for IVF especially. Especially when it comes to two men that have to buy the eggs of one woman and rent the egg of another woman. Here we're talking about four separate women, Two who gave their eggs and two who rented out their wombs. Like, isn't that some kind of indication that maybe two men weren't supposed to be making babies? Like if you need four women to conduct this process of reproduction, don't you think the science is telling you something? That you need a man and a woman and these poor children who made it through this very gruesome process whose siblings were killed and their siblings who are still frozen now they are being forced to be raised by a motherless couple or in a motherless family. And they will always wonder who their mother is and long for that mother. That's exactly who that baby needs. Separated from the surrogate, given worse treatment than we give kittens and puppies who have to stay with their mom for up to for six weeks or more after birth, we rip that child away from the only home he or she has ever known and give them to two strangers to men and they never get that maternal touch. I promise you that negatively affects those children for the rest of their life. And we are willing to lay these children on the altar of adult desire just because gay men want it that way. I will never ever, ever celebrate that. Ever. It is so distorted and it makes me really sad. Last sponsor for the day is Preborn. Preborn equips pregnancy centers across the country with the equipment, the resources they need to be able to help moms in need and help these moms make life affirming decisions. There was one client named Stephanie who was scared and afraid that she didn't deserve love and support. And she felt alone in her pregnancy. But after receiving support from a pregnancy clinic, she experienced this incredible moment where she saw her baby on the ultrasound and she left the clinic feeling hopeful. And now five years later, she can't imagine making another decision. But because she was able to hear the beating heart and see see the life of her moving child on that sonogram screen. Thanks to preborn and the work they do, she made the right decision. When you support preborn, you are helping save lives. If you donate just $28, you are covering the cost of a free sonogram. Go to preborn.com ally to donate. That's preborn.com all okay. Is there anything else? Do we have a happy one maybe to end on Bree?
Ali Stuckey
Yeah, we can end on reaction 16.
Brianna Wiest
Okay, let's do reaction 16 and then maybe I'll answer a couple questions. Please, in the name of Jesus, go over there. We have planted our food here. All right baby. Same thing here. You ready? Yes. She. The text says she saw bugs in her garden and called upon the name of the Lord, that's funny. You know what? The book of James says, the prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. And there is no shame at all in praying for the things that we want and believing in faith that God can do it and knowing that whatever he chooses to do, it is for his glory and for. For our good. From the mouth of babes. That was really cute. All right, we've got a few more minutes so I can go through this long list of questions that I have and try to answer. Try to answer a couple of them. Ooh, this is a tough one. And I want to know what Bri thinks, too. Okay. If you had to raise your family in another country, so you can either think, bri, future family, or even just, like, right now, if you had to raise your family in another country, which country would you pick? Do you have an idea of where would you live if not in America?
Ali Stuckey
Well, I mean, I kind of have to go somewhere that speaks English, probably, right.
Brianna Wiest
Yeah, I guess I'm limited. A lot of places do speak English, though.
Ali Stuckey
Yeah, that's true. But I. I have lived in a place where a lot of people speak. Most do speak English, but it's not the native language, and it's hard. Yeah, it's hard. So I would probably say the uk, Which I know.
Brianna Wiest
Yikes.
Ali Stuckey
Yeah, I know is a big yikes. But I think there's so many, like, pretty countryside areas there that you wouldn't have to live in. Like London.
Brianna Wiest
Londonistan.
Ali Stuckey
Yeah, I would say a country. The countryside of England. That's where I would go.
Brianna Wiest
Yeah. See, I think it would be so hard linguistically, language wise, but I am thinking like, the Nordic countries. Like Scandinavia. Now, when I went to the Netherlands, it was probably the hardest to navigate because their language is least like ours. So many consonants. So many consonants in places that you would never want to find a consonant.
Ali Stuckey
Yeah.
Brianna Wiest
And, like, five consonants together.
Ali Stuckey
Mm.
Brianna Wiest
Whereas I thought that I could kind of understand not listening, but reading Italian because at least I have, like, a rudimentary understanding of Spanish because I had to take it through college and so that I could kind of even, like, French. Like, there are just similarities to English, but the. Oh, my goodness, in the Netherlands, I had no clue anything that was being said or written at all. But they seem a little secluded from the mass immigration problem.
Ali Stuckey
Yeah, maybe. Yeah. The other thing that is good to consider if we were to do this is that little kids, like, can learn in, like, six months. So, you know, if you were to go right now, you know, they wouldn't have a problem at all. It'd be you that would have a.
Brianna Wiest
Problem, which would be a problem.
Ali Stuckey
You get there eventually.
Brianna Wiest
We're responsible for our children, so that would be tough. Maybe we would. Could hire a Sherpa.
Ali Stuckey
Yeah.
Brianna Wiest
A Norwegian Sherpa to help us, to guide us through. I'm sure it's super expensive to live in all of those places. I've heard that there are parts of Poland that are nice.
Ali Stuckey
Oh, okay.
Brianna Wiest
Yeah. So I just don't know about the uk, man.
Ali Stuckey
Yeah, I changed my answer. I think I would go to Israel because everybody there does speak English, for the most part, and it's diverse enough that I feel like you could fit in pretty well.
Brianna Wiest
You think so?
Ali Stuckey
Yeah.
Brianna Wiest
What about France? Macron and Brigitte seem to have such a loving relationship.
Ali Stuckey
I know. I will just say, been there, done that.
Brianna Wiest
Yeah. Okay. We haven't even talked about Brigitte pushing Macron's face.
Ali Stuckey
Oh, my gosh.
Brianna Wiest
Whenever this comes out, this is probably a while ago now, we can put a picture video, but. Yeah, that's weird. What did you think about it?
Ali Stuckey
Oh, I mean, I thought the jokes were really funny.
Brianna Wiest
Yeah. Yeah. But the reality spin on manhandling.
Ali Stuckey
Exactly. The reality is like, I mean, they obviously are brushing it away. They're saying that it was, you know, they were just joking around or whatever.
Brianna Wiest
No, that was a really, like, hard push.
Ali Stuckey
Yes. And you can see on his face, too, there are people who have slowed it down and he, like, he.
Brianna Wiest
He's like.
Ali Stuckey
Yeah.
Brianna Wiest
Taken aback.
Ali Stuckey
Yeah. So, no, I don't think they were joking around. French people don't joke around anyway, so do they not.
Brianna Wiest
I mean, in like, horsing around. She's like 80. Like, they. I don't. I mean, some people, most people have probably been following Candace's stuff, but, like, their relationship, whether or not Brigitte is indeed Brigitte, like, is so weird because she was 40 and he was like 14. Right. Something like that. When they started flirting and she was a teacher at his school. And so she might have been grooming him and abusing him forever.
Ali Stuckey
Yes, absolutely. And I will just like to say, when I moved to France, I started sounding the alarm on this and nobody believed me.
Brianna Wiest
That she's a man.
Ali Stuckey
Not that she's a man, just that she groomed him. And, like, I feel like nobody knew.
Brianna Wiest
Do people in. Really? How did you know? How'd you know when other people did?
Ali Stuckey
People in France know, but I feel like, like, a lot of Americans didn't know. No, I didn't Their relationship.
Brianna Wiest
I didn't.
Ali Stuckey
Yeah.
Brianna Wiest
Until maybe like a year ago, maybe. You told me. I don't remember, but it's. No. Okay. Have. Do you think that. Do you think.
Ali Stuckey
Do you think I actually, you know what? I do.
Brianna Wiest
You do think she's a man.
Ali Stuckey
I do. I believe it now.
Brianna Wiest
You do?
Ali Stuckey
Yeah.
Brianna Wiest
Because of Candace's.
Ali Stuckey
Yeah. I'm.
Brianna Wiest
Wow. Really?
Ali Stuckey
She convinced me.
Brianna Wiest
Okay.
Ali Stuckey
I also, I love that she intended for it to only be one episode until they threatened her, and then she was like, you know what? Let's do a deep dive. Now.
Brianna Wiest
That's Candace. That is how she works. Oh, my goodness. Well, okay. I don't know if I ever finished the series. I was left. Maybe if I finished the series, I would be where you are. I. I was left definitely thinking, there's something so weird going on here. It is obviously very sketchy. They're not like some normal couple, normal family. I think there's something super sketchy about his background, about her background. And the ultimate conclusion. Right, is that. Or the claim is that they're brothers or that Brigitte is his dad.
Ali Stuckey
Yeah. I can't remember the specifics. Yeah. Related. Yeah.
Brianna Wiest
So do they have kids?
Ali Stuckey
No, they don't have kids together because.
Brianna Wiest
She went through menopause when he was like 18.
Ali Stuckey
Yeah. She had a kid older than him, I think, when she met him.
Brianna Wiest
So supposedly. I mean, obviously not really.
Ali Stuckey
Yeah.
Brianna Wiest
If she. I. I don't think she looks like a man, personally.
Ali Stuckey
I. I mean, sometimes it's hard to tell.
Brianna Wiest
Yeah. If she's little, which helps her.
Ali Stuckey
Yes. But I will say the whole claim that she was like a beauty queen that everyone wanted and that she. It just. It's not true. It's just not true. So I. I understand the skepticism and I understand why a lot of things aren't checking out. And for the plot, I'm bought in.
Brianna Wiest
Okay. It's official.
Ali Stuckey
Yeah.
Brianna Wiest
Well, thanks to the person who asked that one question about where we would live now we've. I don't know, whatever. The French police. What are they called? Do we know?
Ali Stuckey
I don't. I don't know.
Brianna Wiest
I was gonna say they were gonna show up at our studio and arrest you.
Ali Stuckey
Oh, not me. I didn't remember the special name for it, but. Yeah, maybe the first.
Brianna Wiest
No run ins with the law while you live today. France, I guess.
Ali Stuckey
No.
Brianna Wiest
Okay. Well, that was a wide ranging episode. That's all we got time for today. We'll be back here soon.
