Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 1013 | Ms. Rachel Uses Jesus to Push Pride
Episode Date: June 4, 2024Today, we discuss Ms. Rachel and her recent post using Scripture to justify supporting Pride month. We also take a look at the people she keeps on her team and things she has supported in the past, pa...rticularly Dylan Mulvaney. But is supporting Pride rooted in biblical love? Should we use people's "preferred" pronouns? What other businesses are targeting children with their Pride posts? And why is the State Department funding Pride events in foreign countries?!

Popular children's YouTuber Miss Rachel is promoting Pride Month, and so is a member of her team,
even inviting her young audience to a very inappropriate pride event in Chicago.
We've got all of this, a biblical response to it, and much more about Pride Month on today's
crazy episode of Relatable.
It's brought to you by our friends at Good Ranchers.

That's Good Ranchers.com, Code Alley.
guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Tuesday. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far. Yesterday,
we covered the Trump verdict. We were as thorough as we possibly could be in the short amount
of time that we had. And I tried to keep every episode under an hour. As you know, I typically
fail at that. And yesterday, we were also supposed to talk about Ms. Rachel and some
pride month updates. And we were not able to even get into that. So we are going to dedicate
today's episode to all of that and do our best to give a biblical response to the craziness.
My hope when we talk about all the depravity that is on display, especially during Pride Month,
but really all the time, is to not leave you in a place of despairing for your child's future or
your own future. I don't want you to end an episode like this, just feeling sad and feeling powerless
and feeling hopeless because no matter what, we're not hopeless. No matter what.
I don't care how crazy things go and how chaotic things get.
We're not hopeless.
We're not as people who have nothing to look forward to.
We have something to hang our hat on.
And that is Jesus Christ and his sure victory.
And so we are going to give our biblical response to this,
the exciting opportunity that we have as the church to be a city on a hill,
to be light in the darkness, to be salt that has.
preservation for good things and adds flavor to good things and to make an impact on the tiny
spot of eternity and the limited plot of universe that God has providentially placed us on.
So we'll get into a lot of this depravity and craziness, but just remember, we're going to come
out of it and we are going to be reminded of God's complete sovereignty and also our special
opportunity as Christians in such a dark age. But before we get into it, let me make a little
announcement. This is for the Related Bros. And actually for the Related Gals with a Related Bro in their
life in honor of Father's Day, which is coming up in just a couple weeks, we do have hats that
are for the related bros. Two different kinds of Related Bros. We're appealing to here. So we've
got the range leather hats and you see that if you're watching on YouTube on the outside there.
And those are salmon. And I don't have it in front.
front of me right now, so you'll just have to look at the graphic. And we've talked about before
being a form of like human salmon. We are the ones that are swimming upstream. We are doing the
hard things of going against the current of our crazy culture. That symbol of a salmon is just to
remind us that even when it's difficult, even when we are swimming upstream, even when it would
be easier to turn around and just be like every other kind of fish that it is worth swimming upstream.
And so we've got the little leather patches on the front of those trucker hats.
And then we have these hats, which are like flat bill hats.
I don't know how to describe the kind of got maybe a little bit trendier, more artistic guy.
But do the next right thing.
They're on the front of these caps, which I really like.
I'm going to be wearing these myself.
It's the acronym, do the next right thing.
These are actually stitched on there.
So really high quality.
I love these.
We've got navy.
We've got black and white.
So we've got the salmon.
We've got the do the next right thing.
It's kind of like if you know, you know kind of deal.
So that's further related bro.

Let's see.
Only other announcement.
A couple other things before we get started.
If you love this podcast, please leave us a five-star review.
Wherever you listen on Apple Podcast,
make sure you subscribe to YouTube as well and click the little bell so you get a notification
every time we upload a video. Also, the only other thing is I was just going to say to my YouTube
viewers, I forgot lipstick today. I don't know if you guys can notice or not, but I typically
wear lipstick, which is kind of important when you're in front of all these lights on camera,
you can feel washed out. Hopefully it does not assault your eyes so much and you can get through
this video without my lipstick on. But some of you are so sleuthy out there that you all
always notice when something is different. So if I look different today, it's because I forgot my
lipstick. Okay, let's get into the craziness that's going on. We got to talk about Ms. Rachel.
If you follow on Instagram, you already saw my response to Ms. Rachel and what she has said about
pride and how she bases her celebration of Pride Month on her Christian faith. But I need to get
into a lot more about Ms. Rachel and her backgrounds and who she is and all of the clues.
that we had about what she believes that had led up to her announcement of her celebration of
pride. And some of you have no idea who Ms. Rachel is. So I need to fill you in on all of that
and why this really matters. So if you don't know, Ms. Rachel is an extremely popular
YouTube channel or she has an extremely popular YouTube channel filled with Toddler and Baby
Learning videos. She has over 10 million subscribers, which is just insane.
incredible and this is not a personal attack on her at all. Like I want to give her credit where credit
is due. It is not easy to build a platform of that many faithful subscribers. And she has not just
subscribers, but raving fans, people who will go to bat for her. And that's because what she
offers is really unique. She's not just doing alphabet songs. You can kind of get that anywhere.
she is offering that, but she is also offering speech help to kids who need it.
And that can be really tough.
Not everyone has the resources to access speech therapy.
Some parents just really have trouble teaching their kids to say their S's correctly,
say their R's correctly, say their L's correctly, those kind of common sounds that can trip kids up.
And Ms. Rachel is able to offer these resources for free to kids who need to,
it. And kids, if you've ever watched a child, watch a child, watch Miss Rachel, you will see that
she, just her demeanor, her tone of voice really captures a child's attention. And for busy
parents who maybe just need 30 minutes a day while they're making dinner, they just need that,
you know, peace and quiet for a little bit. Miss Rachel has really been a help for them. And I would
say mostly her content is edifying and educational. So that's how she has built this
incredible platform. Now I know some of you out there, I've heard from you, you don't like her.
You've always seen, you know, some of you have said, seen something off about her.
You don't like the content that she brings to the table. And that's fair. Of course, with every
single person out there, you're going to have differing opinions. I will say personally,
we've never watched Miss Rachel. And this was like even before I knew anything about her that
was progressive that I don't agree with. We just never watched it. I don't know. There's never really
been a particular reason for it. I can't say that. I can't say that.
I saw any indication that I, you know, wouldn't like her that she's promoting bad values.
We just never watched it.
According to her YouTube channel, she, quote, uses techniques recommended by speech therapists
and early childhood experts to help children learn important milestones and preschool skills.
She has a master's in music education from NYU.
She is also getting her master's right now.
it says in early childhood education.
She has at least one child.
I don't know how many children she has,
but I know she has at least one child
that struggled with speech himself.
And I think that's kind of what inspired her
to start this channel.
But I noticed, I think it was a couple years ago,
maybe it was a year and a half ago,
that she, I started hearing about her
and I started hearing about people promoting her a lot.
I think I'd heard of her before,
but I didn't realize how popular she was getting.
And as I was going through some of her videos, just myself and looking through her
Instagram page, I noticed the promotion of her particular character or person in her videos
that looked like they were trying to present themselves as androgynous, which led me down
a path to researching more of not only who Ms. Rachel is, but what she promotes and the team
that she promotes and what their stances on things like pronouns and gender ideology. And what I
found a couple years ago really surprised me, which is what inspired me to talk about it way back then.
But now it has become a topic of conversation among conservatives again, which I think is
important. So, okay, so before we back up into all of that, that kind of rabbit hole I went
down a couple years ago, we'll start from the most recent.
and then why we are even talking about miss rachel now and then we'll back up from there um so miss rachel
recently posted this video on her instagram account at the beginning of june which is considered
to the pagans pride month here is top five pride to all of our wonderful families and friends
this month and every month i celebrate you i'm so glad you're here i'm so glad you're exactly who
you are. To those who are going to comment, they can't watch the show anymore because of the support.
No worries and much love your way. God bless. I am not chasing fame or views. I'm standing
strong in love. Okay. So that was her initial post. And I guess she got some blowback from that.
Most of the comments that I saw in the video were very positive because a lot of people in the
world are liberal. I mean, they're literally parents, as we'll talk about in a few minutes,
who take their kids to drag shows and think that they are teaching their children great values
of inclusion and love rather than perversion and depravity.
I mean, it's a mentality that I can't understand, but a lot of those parents exist.
And then there are parents who aren't that extreme, but who simply believe that being LGBTQ,
so-called is who someone is.
And therefore, we need a month or several months out of the year to celebrate.
people's sexual preferences. There's a lot of people, even those who identify as Christian, who
align with that mentality. And Ms. Rachel calls herself a Christian as well. And she actually says
that it is her Christian faith that inspires her to celebrate something like pride. Here's
SOT 6. I've shared prayers on here before and said, God bless. And that's because my faith is
really important to me. And it's also one reason why I love every neighbor. In Matthew 22, a religious
teacher asked Jesus, what's the most important commandment? And Jesus says to love God and to love your
neighbor as yourself. All the law and the prophets hang on these two commandments. There's no greater
commandments than these. I believe it's mentioned eight times love your neighbor. So yes, everyone belongs.
Everyone's welcome. Everyone is treated with empathy and respect. It doesn't say love every neighbor
except. There are so many reasons I stand strong in love. Stand with everyone.
Look, I think that she is a sincere person. I think that she is a very sweet-seeming person. Obviously, I don't know her personally, but she seems genuine. However, it is possible to be genuine and wrong. You can be genuinely wrong. It's possible to be sincere and wrong and be sincerely wrong. And of course, that is where she stands when it comes to an attempt at theologically defending celebrating something.
like pride. Of course, pride comes before destruction, but also celebrating pride in what God calls
sin, what God calls destructive for the body, soul, and mind. This is what I've referred to several
times on this show as toxic empathy. It's this idea that in order to truly love someone,
you must not only place yourself in their position, but you must affirm all of
of their feelings and therefore affirm and celebrate their sin. And this is not the Christian
definition of love. And I know I sound like a broken record because we've talked about this so
many times, but you never know who's listening to this or watching this who has never
heard this before. And the word of God is always worth repeating. Love is not defined by us.
We hear the circular mantra, love is love. Well, that doesn't mean anything. It's the same math.
It's the same illogic as trans women are women.
Well, what is a woman?
What is love?
Love can't just be love.
That means that love could be anything.
That means it could be lust.
That means it could be stalking.
That means it could be some form of predation.
It could just be a fleeting feeling.
It could just be romance.
If love is love, that it really is just subjective.
It's based on whatever we feel in the moment, which is not really a comfort, by the way.
and it's not really a stabilizing force.
But if there is a transcendent being who created love,
then there is a being who defines love.
And of course, that being is God.
Because 1 John 4-8 tells us that God is love.
We don't read that love is love.
We don't read that we are love.
We read in 1 John 4-8 that God is love.
And if God is love, this is an incredible statement when you think about it,
that God is love, not just that he created it,
not just that he defines it, but that he is love. And of course, that also means that he defines it.
And he is so gracious to tell us exactly what it is. We get to read in 1 Corinthians 13,
what love is. Love is patient. It is kind. And there are many descriptors of love in that chapter.
Love does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. So that is an important distinction.
From this secular mushy definition of love and toxic empathy and biblical love that is defined by the God who is love and who created and defines it, that love does not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth.
Homosexuality, according to the Bible, according to the creator of the universe who loves us so much and made us in his image is wrongdoing.
It is sin.
And Romans 1, we read that so clearly that it's not just the act that is sinful, but it is actually the desire that is also disordered.
But thankfully, we also read in 1st Corinthians 6 that there is redemption from that, that there is a salvation from all forms of sin.
But such were some of you reread, but you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified by Jesus Christ, that the gospel is for you, no matter what your sin.
is, no matter what your struggles are, no matter what your attraction is, that all of us are at one
point bound to our sin, slaves to our sin, following as Ephesians 2 says the prince of the power
of the air, the spirit that is now at work right now in all the sons and daughters of
disobedience. But we in Christ can be made alive in Him by the grace of God through faith in
Christ. We can be made alive. We can be made new. We can be made new creations. Apart from Christ,
we are enemies of God. But by grace through faith in Christ, we can be reconciled to a holy God.
We can be made a son and a daughter of God. We can be co-hears of God's inheritance with Christ.
We get the guarantee of salvation, of heaven forever. And we get liberation and freedom from our sin right now.
Amen, that is love. That is love. Not affirmation of the sin that is killing you. Not celebration of the
sin that is harming your body and your mind and your soul according to the God who created
your body, mind, and soul. So this form of so-called love that Ms. Rachel is preaching,
it sounds really good. It even sounds good to me. Okay? Like, I'll admit that. If I did not,
by the grace of God, have the convictions that I have and know what I know about scripture and feel
what I feel and believe what I believe about the gospel, then this message that Ms. Rachel
preaches would sound really attractive to me. Why? Because it's easy. And I like easy. I like
convenient. I like comfortable. I don't like to be swimming upstream. I don't like to be set against
the world. I don't like to be called a bigot. I don't like to be called these names. I don't like to be
accused of not having empathy or being hateful. I don't like that. I would so much rather be celebrated
by the vast majority of the world. I would so much rather get the applause of all of these people
who claim that being tolerant or celebrating sin is the highest virtue or the toxic empathy is
the highest, most transcendent value, because that would be easier.
That's what I want in my flesh.
And yet, I know and I understand that God's ways are better.
They're harder in a lot of ways, but they're better.
They have an eternal reward, reward that comes with them.
But also, I have seen the freedom and the joy and the satisfaction that Jesus brings
when he rids us of the burden of our sins and of our struggles.
We have a way out of temptation.
We have a way out of that enslavement to sin.
And that is love.
You cannot say that you believe in the gospel,
that Jesus has saved us from our sin
and also celebrate and affirm someone's sin.
Like either you believe that Jesus died for our sins or you do not.
It can't be both.
That's why it's really just impossible to have one foot in the world and one foot out.
And most people who deny the fundamental reality of male and female
and the definition of marriage as defined by the God who created us
end up rejecting the gospel altogether if she hasn't already.
I would be really surprised if Miss Rachel, who says that she's a Christian,
really believes John 146,
that Jesus is the way, the truth in the life, and that no one comes to the Father except through
him. That would be very surprising because, look, as we've said many times, the definition of marriage
is in the first chapter of the Bible. The definition of gender is in the first chapter of the Bible.
That's how important it was to God. That it's in the creation story. So that we could not claim
that these definitions change based on our feelings, based on culture,
based on societal whims, based on politics, based on what the law says, because it's rooted in creation.
It is pre-civilizational.
It is pre-socialityal.
It is pre-law.
It is rooted in nature.
Genesis 1-27 says that he made us in his image male and female.
That is the first marriage.
That is the definition of what we are biologically.
We get no option to identify as something other than what we biologically are.
there, he is telling us that our bodies have purpose, that our bodies matter. He is telling us what
our bodies can do, which is be fruitful and multiply. It's incredible how many so-called culture war
answers are, or questions are answered in that first chapter of the first book of the Bible.
How gracious is God that he has given us so much clarity on all of this confusion in the first
chapter. So when you deny something so fundamental, of course, you end up denying the gospel.
The gospel is much more controversial than biological reality than what we see in Genesis 1.
And so if you're going to deny that, which we can see through common grace, we can see with
our eyes, then of course you are going to deny what can really only be discerned through the
Holy Spirit, which is the gospel. So that's what ends up happening. And this is, of course,
the only form of Christianity that the world approves of because it is not really Christianity.
It's just like secular humanism with the few Bible verses thrown in and Jesus says it's weak
mascot. But that's not Christianity. The Bible starts with the marriage. It ends with the marriage.
And I'll just say the alliteration really fast case Ms. Rachel is listening. The definition of marriage
is between man and a woman is rooted in creation. Genesis 127. It's reiterated through
throughout scripture, for example, Exodus 2012, honor your father and mother. It's repeated by Jesus
himself in Matthew 19, 4 through 5. It is representative of Christ in the church, Ephesians 5,
and therefore it is reflective of the gospel. The Bible starts with the marriage. It ends with
the marriage. Christ and his bride, the church. Christ is the bridegroom. The church is the bride.
earthly marriage between one man and one woman is reflective of that.
Two men can't reflect the relationship between the bridegroom and the bride.
To women cannot.
It is only one man and one woman that can do that.
It's a spiritual, eternal reality.
It is a fundamental tenet of Christianity.
It can't be messed with, not to mention all of the implications for children that rearranging
marriage and redefining the family creates.
Of course, you are creating force father.
You're creating forced motherlessness, the egg selling, the sperm selling, but really all manner of attempting to parent children with two women or two men is robbing a child of their need for a father and a mother, and that is cruel.
So if you care about children, then you should care about what is going on there.
So that's my full response to Ms. Rachel.
Now we actually are going to go into the rabbit hole of who she is and what she has supported for a long time.
All right. So Ms. Rachel's sidekick is named Jules. And this is a woman who goes by they-them.
And actually, there is a video from a couple years ago where Jules presents a stuffed animal in one of the educational videos that they have.
And she actually refers to this stuffed animal by they-them pronouns. And also, if you go to Ms. Rachel's website, let me make sure that this is still the
case because this was the case when we first talked about it a while ago. But on Ms. Rachel's
website, if you go to their team member page, you will see that all of the team members have their
pronouns by their name. And actually, I'm looking right now and I'm trying to find,
oh, yep, you still got it. So if you go to Ms. Rachel.com, you can go to a
about us and you can go to the team and Ms. Rachel has her pronouns. We've got everyone that has
their pronouns. Then you've got Jules and you've got they, them as the pronouns for this particular
individual. And why does it matter that they are stating their pronouns? And they state their
pronouns multiple times throughout their bios, which I just think is an odd choice. So why does that
matter. Should we even state our pronouns at all? This is a question that I've gotten many times
over the years. When you are stating your pronouns, you are assenting to the untrue,
nonsensical idea that your gender is something to be declared and chosen rather than something
that is innate and observed. So when you state your pronouns, you're assenting to the untrue
idea that gender is something to be announced, declared, chosen, rather than something that is
innate and observed. There may be very few cases in which someone is truly, through no fault of their own,
just like androgynous. And those people are made in the image of God just as much as anyone else.
And they can't control their hormonal makeup. And maybe they really do need to say, actually,
you know what, I am just a very tall, muscular female. This is just who I am. But in every other,
other case, it is not necessary for us to declare our pronouns. Pronouns are representative of our
biological reality. This idea that gender and sex are two different things is not true. And I know
that even people on the anti-trans ideology side try to separate those two that say that gender is
just made up, that it was created by John Money and the queer theorist. And so we should never say
gender. We should only say sex. But that's not true. The etymology of gender goes back hundreds and
hundreds of years. It comes from the word genre. Gender is just another category of human being. So
it's just a way of saying like this category is a male human. This category is a female human.
There's nothing wrong with saying gender. The truth is gender and sex are interchangeable.
They mean the same things. I remember the first time in college, I had a professor who was a very
androgynous professor, but I just thought she's an endogenous woman. And she was. But I remember
her saying in class that, well, gender and sex are two different things. I think I used gender for
something. And she tried to correct me on it and said, well, actually gender means is different,
is different than sex. And I just looked at her and I said, no, it's not. They're synonyms.
And she didn't say anything. That was back in the day. That was probably 2011 before people got the
bravery that they have now, they feel so empowered to like push back against that. I probably
like would have failed my class if that had happened in 2020, but back then the teacher backed
down because she was wrong. These two things are not different. They're not separate.
That was not created by a queer theorist. The idea of so-called gender identity was, though.
And as we have talked about, we'll link some of those episodes that we've done in the past,
the history of queer theory of gender identity of the idea that a man can become a woman
by declaration, that a woman can become a man by declaration, has very dark and perverse
and depraved and sexually just perverse roots. It is not grounded in any sort of love or truth or
idea of actual true, healthy liberation. No, not at all. It is perverse. If you look at John Money
and Alfred Kinsey and many of the men and women who were writing the scholarly articles
and the academic papers about so-called gender identity at the time, they were pedophile
apologists. And this is not me just trying to use some kind of dog whistle. This is factually true.
And much of the gender ideology that we see today is also being pushed by pedophile apologists.
W. Path, the largest organization that offers the guidelines for so-called transition, even for minors,
they base much of their research on what they found in chat rooms run by pedophiles.
And if you think that that's some conspiracy theory, we will link the episode with Genevieve.
Vos Glock, the journalist who did all of this research to uncover this, and a lot of the gender
deception that we are seeing today among men, it has nothing to do with thinking that they are
women. It has nothing to do with the true DSM-5 definition of gender dysphoria, of persistent,
insistent, and consistent feeling like you are in the wrong body as a young boy. That is very rare.
It is existent, but it is very rare. It also doesn't justify.
trying to transition their body or cross-sex hormones or anything.
But that is a mental disorder that does exist.
But what we are seeing now, this explosion of teenage boys and men all of a sudden
announcing that they are the opposite sex that has to do with sexual depravity.
That has to do with sexual perversion.
That has to do in so many cases with an addiction to certain kinds of porn.
That's what it has to do with.
It is a fetish.
And they are going through this humiliation ritual.
that they are forcing the public to participate in.
I know that might sound harsh and surely sounds unethetic, but that's what's going on.
So when you state your pronouns, when you call a man she, you are not only lying, which is
never loving, you are not only going against the design of their body that God purposely
and lovingly and providentially gave them.
You are also contributing to this mad, depraved social,
experiment, which is costing children, their bodies. Children as young as 12, young girls as young
as 12, getting double mastectomies because they think that they are the opposite sex. Again,
if you think that some conspiracy theory or some fearmongering, you can do the research for
yourself. We've talked about it and cited our sources so many times on this show. Doctors at Kaiser
Permanente acknowledging that that is the youngest patient that they have.
had, oh my goodness, like, you're barely even developing at that point.
Boys getting chemically castrated.
We've had detransitioners on this couch before who, as minors started to transition,
their bodies irreversibly damaged, their fertility, irreversibly damaged.
Daisy Strongen, who has two beautiful children now unable to breastfeed her children.
and she is so sad about that because of what adults in her life allowed her to do to her body at such a young age.
And I mean, like, where's the recompense for all of that?
And you know what started these young people on the path to so-called transition?
I say so-called because you can't actually transition your sex.
Social affirmation.
The Declaration of pronouns.
using their new chosen name, using their new chosen pronouns.
There is a form of euphoria, a form of excitement.
You get a new kind of attention.
You have a new identity.
You have a new self.
For some boys, it is sexually exciting.
For most girls that I know that transitioned,
it was actually because they were sexualized at an early age
and they blamed their femininity and their feminine body
for being sexualized. And so that's why they decided to take testosterone. So when you declare pronouns,
especially something like they, them, which is just grammatically and physically impossible,
that's what you're assenting to. She claims to care about children. This entire movement
harms children in the biggest ways, the most fundamental ways, physical, emotional ways.
So it's just not possible to truly love children in the true sense and also. And also,
promote this kind of ideology. Now, this person named Jules, this is according to Mount Walsh,
he uncovered this. Also was a part of this pride jam where kids were invited, queer fam pride jam
that was supposed to be family friendly. So let me read you some of his thread. He said a day after
Miss Rachel told her audience, she didn't care if they opposed her pride post, which is what she said in
so many words, her sidekick of they, them named Jules, performed at the queer fam Pride Jam.
The event was advertised as family-friendly.
It wasn't.
Here is SOT One.
Hey, Chicago, it's Jules here, and I'm going to be playing on June 2nd at Millennium Park
for Pride Jam.
I really can't wait to hang out with you and your littles.
So please, RCP, and get your free tickets right now.
Okay, see you soon, Chicago.
Bye.
Okay, so there she is inviting her littles or littles, your littles, to this Pride Jam event.
Again, this is someone who works with Mr. Rachel.
So she collaborates and makes songs with Mr. Rachel.
She identifies as a white non-binary trans mask human.
She is just a woman, you can tell.
She claims that as a two-year-old, she realized something's not right with her body.
At 12, a teacher exposed her to gender ideology, which is just so sad that.
That is a form of grooming.
It is.
It is such a shame that no one told her, hey, like, it's okay to be a girl and to be a woman
who doesn't like all traditionally feminine things.
It doesn't mean you're trans mask.
It doesn't mean your non-binary, which is just, it's not real.
There's no such thing as truly non-binary.
And instead, she was apparently introduced to gender ideology.
her performance of songs about crabs, caterpillars, butterflies, the children.
Okay, so she performed that song at this Pride Fam Jam event about crabs,
caterpillars, and butterflies.
And then right after that, the children were subjected to a grown man and a skin tight
leopard print onesie with heels shaking his body around while collecting a dollar bill
from a small child.
Here's that two.
Now I know that there's going to be some crazy people out there who,
We're like, what's wrong with that?
That was innocent?
What?
What?
I mean, you saw this person like leaning back, dancing to spice girls, collecting money from
children, and you will still have insane people out there being like, what?
What's the deal?
Look, there is no innocent way for a man to dress up as a woman and dance in front of children.
Okay?
There's no innocuous reason for that.
Ever.
There is no pure motivation for a man to want to want to.
to dress up as a woman. We can stop there. But especially there's no pure motivation for a man to
dress up as a woman and dance in front of children. There's no reason for that. I've seen a meme going around
recently and it's like, why don't they ever want to dance at nursing homes? Why don't they ever want to
like read books to sick people in the hospital? Why is it only kids? Hmm. Why is it only
children's library sections? Why is it only kindergarten classes that they want to go in their
tight leotards and their fishnet heels and their fake boobs and their, or the fishnet tights and
their high heels and their fake boobs and their bra sticking out. Like, why is it only
children that they want to interact with as well, they're dressed up as that? If you don't think
there's something wrong with this and there is something wrong with you, okay? And it might be
really difficult to reckon with that. It might be really difficult to take a deep breath and
really just let yourself think, is it right to force my children to watch a grown man
dressed up as a woman shaking his body? Or dressed up as a woman at all? Like, is that right? Is
that helpful? Is that edifying to them? Or does this so confusion in my child? Or just think
about this. Is there something better for them to watch? Is there something more edifying for
them to watch? And I know most of my audience you don't need to be preached to about this because
you just instinctively know. But there are some people out there, even who call them, even who
call themselves Christians who love Miss Rachel and love this kind of stuff and just don't think
that it's harmful. Look, I've said this many times before, but kids naturally put things into
categories. And as a mom of three young children, I see this. You don't have to be a psychologist.
You don't have to be a child therapist. You don't have to have your master's in early childhood
education to realize this. From a very early age, they are seeing distinctions. They're making
categories because the entire world is really big and new to them, right?
And so they're trying to make things simpler.
They're trying to make things smaller.
They're trying to understand everything that's going on.
And so not only are they figuring out locations, figuring out day and night, figuring out
outside inside, figuring out what's okay to eat and what's you're not supposed to eat and
you're just supposed to play with.
And then they're also figuring out gender distinctions.
Oh, that's a mommy.
That's a daddy.
Does that mommy have a baby in her belly?
Like they're always asking these questions.
oh, this is Grammy, this is Papa, that's an uncle, that's an aunt, I'm a girl, that's a boy.
They're figuring that out, really without any instruction.
They're just trying to make sense of their world.
And so you see how important it is for us as parents to offer our children clarity
when everything is chaotic and confusing to them, to affirm the distinctions that they see.
And yes, are there nuances that they will learn?
Yes, of course. From an early age, they might say only girls wear pink and only boys wear blue. And that is
generally true. But just because a boy wears pink one day or purple one day doesn't mean that he's a
girl or doesn't mean that he's not masculine, they will learn that. You don't need to teach that to
them when they're two and three. They'll figure that out. It's okay for them to see things in black and
white. It's okay for them to create these categories. That doesn't mean that they're unloving.
That doesn't mean that they're going to go out and hurt people's feelings, which by the way, kids hurt
people's feelings all the time. My child asks me when I'm going to have a flat tummy again,
and you just have to take it in a stride. And so it's okay. You don't have to worry so much about
them, like, figuring out all of the nuances of everything. It's okay for them to have these
categories and to offer them clarity. Sowing confusion in the name of tolerance into our children
is cruel. It's cruel. It's wrong. It messes with their development. It also messes with their
sense of self. No wonder so many kids are struggling today with mental instability. And then what did
these children get? What did these parents do? These very loving and affirming parents, they send
their kid to a child therapist and put them on medication when they're seven years old. And then that
just causes the whole cycle. It's awful. This is what toxic empathy does to people. And I'm sorry,
but Miss Rachel is playing a part in all of this. Matt Walsh also reveals more about Jules.
He says, when Jules created music for power to the queer children, it donated 100% of the proceeds to the Trevor Project. And the Trevor Project, according to the New York Post, hosted chat rooms. Trevor Project is awful. It's hosted chat rooms where minors talk with adults about graphic sexual fetishes and masturbation and the name of helping gender affirming care. I'm not saying Ms. Rachel would overtly support that.
She probably wouldn't, but she needs to know what she is helping promote.
She is drawing people to this Jules person who is then promoting all of this kind of sexual perversion and depravity.
Ms. Rachel also has a connection to Dylan Mulvaney.
So this is kind of circulating again as a new story.
And so people might have thought that this was recent, but this actually happened in February of 2023.
We talked about it at the time.
I think we talked about it on the show, but I can't find the episode.
I'm almost positive that we did, but I at least talked about it on Instagram because it was so crazy.
And people got really mad when we talked about it.
Like I was like attacking her, asking people to bully her.
That's also a manipulation tactic.
Just because you announce your disagreement about something, when someone does something publicly and then you say publicly,
that's not right.
That's not asking people to bully someone.
That's not asking for hate.
Not at all.
Unless you are explicitly doing that, asking for hate, asking for an attack, you're not asking for that.
I'm explicitly asking you not to. Do not bully these people. But we are allowed to disagree and state our disagreement, especially when it's harmful to kids.
So last year, during Dylan Mulvaney's days of girlhood, you know Dylan Mulvaney as the man who has gone viral for his days of girlhood, which he chronicles on TikTok becoming a girl or like his first days of being a girl. Now, this is a grown man, grown man with a five o'clock shadow calling himself a girl.
okay and many of his depictions of being a girl are like being a caricature of a six-year-old girl
and we're all celebrating this he's going to get the brand deal she's going to go viral and he's
also going to get miss rachel commenting this on one of his videos sometime when you're in
nyc you should be on our show songs for littles we love you and you're singing now i would
guess that miss rachel realized after this comment that that probably
would not be a good idea. She can say all she wants to that she does not care if conservative
women, conservative moms leave her audience. I bet she cares just a little bit. Now, maybe she'll
prove me wrong. Maybe she will have Dylan Mulvaney on. I promise you, that will be a bridge too far for a lot
of moms who don't even consider themselves Christian or conservative. Now, for some moms, like the ones that
I was talking about earlier, that will be great. The love seeing their
child looking up to a man who dresses like a little girl.
They'll think that that's awesome.
But even for the politically independent and some secular people, they'll say,
I think there may be other talented people out there that Miss Rachel could have chosen
to be a guest on her videos and not Dylan Mulvaney.
I mean, that's a choice, again, assenting to the movement that has just wrought so much
destruction on so many people.
So that is who Miss Rachel is.
Now, am I saying that you can never watch, can't ever watch Miss Rachel or that you can't
ever listen to her stuff?
I mean, that's up to you.
That's up to you.
You could think, well, I'm going to keep doing it because me leaving is not going to
make a difference.
But it's not just about that.
It's kind of like with Target, right?
We know that Target is a huge corporation.
And us boycotting Target, which I have for, I believe, three years now.
I have not gone to Target because they started selling chest binders and packing underwear and bathing suits.
That was just a bridge too far for me.
They could bounce back.
Maybe they don't need the however many of us who decided to boycott and they could stay afloat.
But it's not just about that.
It's not just about making a difference and making them reverse course, which by the way, they did a little bit.
Not a lot, but they said that they were going to reduce their pride displays for fear of blowback, which, yay.
And the Bud Light did the same thing.
But it's also just about making better choices ourselves.
Now, I've also said many times, I am not perfect at the boycotting thing at all.
At all.
I do not shop in complete alignment or consider.
and complete alignment with my values. One would say that it is impossible to do that,
maybe, unless you just entirely lived off the land and made your own clothes. But I could do better.
It's not like I have to get all of the things that I get. I still use Amazon, for example.
And these are also companies that promote terrible things. And so I'm right there with you.
I'm right there with you and not being perfect in that.
I am a lot more thoughtful than I used to be.
I don't buy clothes all the same places that I used to buy clothes.
I don't shop everywhere that I used to shop for a variety of things.
And some places I just skip out on in the month of June because I know that they are going
to be directly and openly promoting all of this depravity.
But Target for me, the reason why I did that is because, one, I was spending too much money there anyway, getting things that I didn't really need.
And so a disproportionate and an unnecessary amount of my money was supporting Target who relies on people like you and me.
They rely on the Christian suburban mom.
Like we are their biggest consumer base.
We are their biggest demographic.
And for me, I just said, you know what? This is a matter of discipline. This is a step into living in alignment with my values. And that is the step that I'm going to take. And I have to say, it feels really good to stop spending money somewhere that you just don't need to shop that and really just like hates us. They really just hate us and hate what we believe. And again, it was the selling of the like compression.
Tosson tops to young people and the packing underwear and the packing packing if you don't even know what that means
I don't even know if I want to say what it is but also the like um not even just like packing bathing suits but also the
compressing bathing suits all of these things are different items for boys and girls trying to look like the
opposite sex all of this clearly targeted to kids that for me was like no it's too far now all
Mart also sells pride stuff. Obviously, a lot of these corporations do. Although I will say I've seen
fewer celebrations of pride from some of these corporations this year, which is good. I think keep pushing.
I saw a poll recently that said that support actually for gay quote unquote marriage is down for
the first time in years, which is interesting. I really think that it's because of the craziness of gender ideology,
that it's forced people to back up and ask, wait, wait, wait, how did we get here?
Oh, we got here when we denied the differences between the sexes.
When we said, oh, yeah, two men together is the same thing as two women together.
And you're denying the differences between the sexes in the case of marriage.
And of course, that helped build upon the foundation that I think progressive ideology has been pushing
for years and years and years, which is that men and women are just interchangeable,
that there's no biological innate differences between us.
So it goes back a long way, but it certainly made people go back to Obergefell and say,
oh, gosh, things have changed a lot since 2015 so quickly.
How do we back all the way up?
And also, as we're seeing the horrors of things like surrogacy, it's really making people
think a little bit harder about all of this.
So keep going.
Keep speaking the truth in love.
keep being bold, keep refusing to assent to their absolute madness.
We also got some other toddler experts like big little feelings.
They posted encouraging someone to be entirely themselves as the loudest way to love them.
And of course, this is a pride post.
And what they're trying to say is just affirm, affirm, affirm.
But we know those of us who worship the God who is, like,
love that that is not the best way to love someone. Again, this is toxic empathy. It's a form of
manipulation that tells you that the only way to love someone is to affirm them. It also pushes
this lie that what your attractions are and what your sexual feelings are are, are who you are,
that they define you, that they are your identity. And that is not true. And that's freeing good
news that what you feel, what your attractions are, don't get to tell you who you are.
They're not the boss of you. They're not the core to your identity. You are not enslaved to them.
And that's amazing. And that is really, really great news that we are not a slave to our emotions and our
feelings, that we can actually look at our biology. We can see our tell us, which is our purpose.
and we can see what we are made for.
And the truth is all Christians,
no matter what your sin struggle is,
we are all called to self-control,
all of us.
We are all called to walk in faith.
We are all on a journey of sanctification.
And we are all called the glorified Christ
in everything we think, say,
and do we are all called away from lust.
We are all called away from just giving in to our flesh.
That's not to say that all.
struggles in all sin are exactly the same. They don't all manifest themselves in the same way.
Some, I think, are more difficult to battle against than others in some ways, but we are all in
a struggle against sin that is empowered by the Holy Spirit. And we are all looking forward to the
day when we are made completely new and we no longer have to be tempted and we no longer
struggle with sin. But until then, we are all working out our salvation with fear,
with fear and trembling. And that is the good news. That is the loudest way to love someone is to tell
them that good news. Sesame Street. They've got their post up. I mean, Pride Month from Sesame Street.
I just fail to understand why it is important to talk to kids about people's sexual preferences.
I just, I mean, I do understand. I do understand because it's predatory. But I, I, I, I, I, I,
fail to understand even how they present some kind of PR reason for it. And so they've got
their rainbow flag. Remember, if we can find it, it was like an airline, maybe a Swedish airline
or something. And they had like the three seatbelts bringing, you know what I'm talking about.
And it was like, it doesn't matter who you click with. And it was like, it was like two ends of the
same or like two of the same ends of the seatbelt and then two of the same ends of the other side
of the seat belt and then the seat belt with the only like the ends that actually click together
and it ended up going viral as this horrible example of pride because it's like but only one works
only one works those two ends of the seatbelt don't work those two end of the seatbelt don't
work. The only kind that works is when you put the proper ends of the seatbelts together.
Sorry, that's a little bit graphic, even though like we're just implying something, but
that's part of this whole thing, right? Is that only one actually works and they thought that
they were being so clever. Well, Walmart is giving Target, as we mentioned. Here is their
cool ad, Sot 3. Queer people have magic that
we can share.
We're lucky enough to be
in the Walmart Pride Collection this year.
What a dream come true?
It's not every day
that I see my products
in a Walmart.
It's important to me
to share my art.
No one can make the art that you make.
No one can say the things
the way you say them.
There's a lot of opportunity
to uplift
with a bit of playfulness
and imperfection.
The world needs to hear
what you have to say
and your story.
No.
There's a person
that they, there's a reason why they didn't let this person talk.
This person that you see right here.
There is a reason that he was not showcased in this ad very much because it is very scary.
We've got Anna Parade, the pink Mohawk girl that you saw.
Of course, if you go to her Instagram, it features mostly naked pictures of herself,
along with paintings and drawing of a bare breast.
We will not link her Instagram for obvious reasons,
and she's got a sticker that she created that says abortion on it.
Walmart also has a thousand plus items in their pride and their pride collection.
One says drag is not a crime.
I also think it's a good question to ask, like,
why old pride stuff is in colors that are attractive to children,
like in these rainbow colors.
Just some more examples of the craziness we've got going on.
A Call of Duty offers transgender bullets as part of downloadable Pride Month pack as well as bisexual, pansexual and asexual colors for guns.
Why?
Why?
That's so weird.
So weird.
Well, some of the comments in response to these trans-themed bullets on Reddit were disturbing.
Not surprising.
This is another part of this peaceful, loving community that is very often pushed down by the mainstream media.
Here's one comment.
Bro, I would love to blow a bigot's head off with trans bullets.
Ranged estrogen injection, I've transitioned you to dead.
kill the haters with gay bullets, going to cause some gender issues with well-placed round tonight
in the family jewels with these rounds and a few chuds. What? You could actually attack bigots in the game
with pride ammo now. All right. Again, very disturbing, considering how many shooters recently,
how many mass shooters have identified as transgender. And this, of course, is not surprising.
putting your body on cross-sex hormones,
radicalizing you with a very depraved.
An awful ideology, of course,
is going to inspire violence in people
who very often have comorbidities anyway
and were already unstable
before they started the transition process.
The Lakewood Church shooter identified as transgender.
The Covenant School shooter identified as transgender.
The Denver School shooter,
the Aberdeen Mass shooter,
these are all people who identified as transgender.
So for Call of Duty to basically inspire this and encourage this and help them act out their fantasies, at least in a virtual way, of course, is extremely dangerous and awful.
But this all just goes to show like what pride is and how destructive it can be.
We've also got the publica.
This is an outlet they reported an LGBTQ charity penned a tribute to gay rights pioneer who claimed that pedophiles were being.
oppressed. So this is a project that is featuring an uncritical tribute to the co-founder of one of the
most notorious pro-petirasti groups in the world. This is the LGBTQ history project. It's
incorporated as a tax-exempt organization. The LGBTQ history project is run by August
Bernad DeKal, who started recording interviews with the pioneers of the gay movement.
when he was just 13 years old.
And so this project has a list of people considered heroes in the LGBTQ movement.
And one of the people highlighted is David Thorstad, the co-founder of the North American
Man Boy Love Association, also known as Nambla, and a former member of the Trotskya Socialist Workers' Party.
So on the LGBTQ History Projects page for Thorstad, he is described as fighting to limit
depression based on sexual preferences. This is where love is love goes. It's where it has always been
going. Is that to say that all people who are gay are pedophiles? No, not even most. I'm not saying that.
I'm saying this is the foundation of the movement. This is what happens when you lose all the
parameters around sexuality. You open the door to this kind of perversion. Under Thorstead's leadership,
Nambla lobbied to abolish the age of consent laws and fought to
of free men who had been convicted of the statutory rape of children from prison.
Thorstad was among the Nambla executives named as defendant in the infamous Curley v.
Nambla litigation in which the organization was represented by the ACLU.
The lawsuit was launched in 2000 by the family of a 10-year-old boy who had been raped
and murdered by two pedophiles.
Thor's dad wrote a pamphlet titled Boy Speak on Boy Love.
So again, this comes from Alfred Kinsey.
This comes from John Money.
I mean, it doesn't come from them.
Of course, pedophilia has always existed.
This is where Christian stepped in in the pagan world 2,000 years ago and said,
nope, nope, no more child exploitation and really changed how the world saw
children. It's still our responsibility to this day. And we need to realize that within the LGBTQ
movement is the idea that any sexual preference is fine and qualifies as love. And that just as being a
woman or being a man is a state of mind, so as being a child or adult. Understand that all
these things go together. That's why it's not a coincidence that you see so much overlap,
unfortunately, between these two ideologies. But thanks.
Thankfully, our federal government is in support of all of this, which we will end the episode talking about that.
All right.
We've got our Department of State.
We've got the State Department posting the Pride Progress flag, saying that LGBTI-plus persons in many countries continue to face grave danger.
So we've got to protect the spirit of pride and promote respect for the human rights of LGBTQI persons.
It's central to the work we do.
Central!
Central!
Do you know what Central means?
It's central to the work of the State Department to make sure that everyone around the world
who likes to have sex with the same sex that they have their quote unquote rights defended.
What that means is a form of colonialism and imperialism that the left actually likes.
It means the United States blackmailing poor countries into promoting LGBTQ laws and issues by saying,
well, if you promote this to poverty, then we will give you more aid.
but if you don't, we will take our aid away.
That's a practice that the United States implements, has implemented and uses in many
poor countries, not just when it comes to LGBTQ laws, but also abortion.
Biden's State Department spending millions on foreign LGBTQ events as Pride Month begins.
According to the Daily Signal, the State Department is funding an array of LGBTQ pride
events across the globe ahead of June, including in countries that don't want anything to do with
this.
but the United States is saying, oh, you must.
A 2022 LGBTQ film festival, the State Department funded in Portugal included films depicting incest and pataphilia.
Wow.
What do you know?
Just one of those coincidences again.
Funding pro-LGBQ events and organizations abroad has become commonplace in Biden's State Department.
Under Biden, the department has paid to support queer Muslim writers in India, all two of them.
funded ballroom dancing to uplift trans...
What?
Funded ballroom dancing to uplift transgender youth in Peru.
It's important.
That's your tax dollars.
Shelled out hundreds of thousands of dollars on programs for LGBTQ refugees.
In Latin America, spent taxpayer dollars on theatrical productions in an attempt to teach Africans about LGBTQ rights.
And they stood up and threw their spears at them.
as they should.
The Department of Defense
Pride Month is a time to come together
to honor the contribution
to the LGBTQ plus service members.
No thanks.
National Security Agency,
our favorite.
Our theme this Pride Month
is Pride in Progress,
recognizes that true progress is a journey.
We are dedicated to create in a workplace
where members of the LGBTQIA plus
community can thrive authentically
and bring their whole
selves to work. No one needs to bring their whole self to work. At most, I want like a third of you
at work. Just your best self. I don't need, we don't need to know your whole self. We don't need to know all of that.
No one needs to bring your whole self to work at all. Just bring the part that's relevant to the
job that you have to do, please and thank you. Is that too much to ask? I don't think so.
So when you pair all of this, the absolute takeover of all of these institutions, the most powerful institutions in the world, but particularly in the United States, with what just happened to Trump, as we talked about yesterday, finding a crime to fit the man that you want to put behind bars.
It's a little scary.
It's a little scary for the Christian.
It's a little scary for those of us who participate in a faith that makes necessary evangelism and speaking.
We are not to put the flame, put our candle under a basket, but we are supposed to be seen.
We are supposed to be heard.
We are not a religion that minds its own business very well.
We are a religion that makes change.
And that also preaches the gospel to change hearts to then have a societal and cultural effect.
We worship the word made flesh.
We are to go and make disciples of all nations.
And you know, I saw this thread.
I know, this is yet to get another long episode.
But it's encouraging, actually.
It was a thread by a liberal.
I don't think I've talked about it yet on the show.
How I?
I don't know.
But it was basically talking about the history of San Francisco.
How does San Francisco become gay?
How did it become like this gay hub?
And it talked about like the men who made their way there without any women and it just kind of started happening.
And there was tons of depravity at the end of the 19th century.
Just a lot of gayness already happening there.
Well then these floods basically leveled San Francisco, ruined San Francisco.
And in order to help San Francisco rebuild who moved into San Francisco at the beginning of the 20th century churches.
And when churches came along and they started rebuilding the city, they said, no more of that stuff, no more of that sexual perversion, no more of that depravity. And so actually, for a while there, as San Francisco was able to rebuild and as it was able to become this great big, beautiful, productive, innovative city, it was also moral. It was also Christian in nature because the Christians there actually implemented laws that said no more of that.
And so it just reminded me of what Christianity has been, should be, and could be.
Like, I know that today it's so scary when Christians say, oh, yeah, we want to use our worldview to influence laws.
It shouldn't be scary. That's what everyone does with every worldview, with every vote.
They are implementing their worldview into their politics and trying to inform the law based on what they believe.
Christians are called to do the same.
And when Christians do it, good things happen.
order happens, productivity happens. And so Christians do not be afraid to infuse your worldview in your
workplace on the school board in politics, in the public sphere, of course, with your family.
Like, you get to show up with your worldview just as much as everyone else does. And while we still
have some semblance of free speech and freedom of religion, we have to do that. That is actually
a way to love our neighbor, is to be agents of God's order.
and everything that we think, say, and do.
And let me just remind you, we haven't gone to this chapter in a while,
but it's a good reminder in this Pride Month,
that this is our ultimate hope, this is our ultimate solace.
And it's Psalm 37, go read the whole chapter when you can in your free time.
Fret not yourself because of evil doers.
Be not envious of wrongdoers, for they will soon fade like the grass and wither like
the green herb.
Trust in the Lord and do good.
dwell in the land, befriend faithfulness.
Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord, trust in him, and he will act.
He will bring forth your righteousness as light, your justice as the noon day.
Going on to verse 10, in just a little while the wicked will be no more.
Though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there.
But the meek shall inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant peace.
The wicked will perish.
The enemies of the Lord are like the glory of the pastures.
vanish like smoke they vanish away um wait for the lord and keep his way he will exalt you to
inherit the land you will look on when the wicked are cut off the salvation of the righteous is
from the lord he is their stronghold in the time of trouble the lord helps them and delivers them
he delivers them from the wicked and saves them because they take refuge in him that is who we
worship that is our hope that is our strength and remember
the joy of the Lord is our strength. We are not winning people to Christ by constantly being sad and morose
and discouraged by the state of the world. It's normal and okay to feel that discouragement, I think,
and to feel our sadness. But really, we can lay those concerns at the Lord's feet. And he promises
to give us the peace that passes all understanding. And in a world that is so turbulent, that peace is
really attractive. So may our peace, may our joy, may our clarity, may our truth, may our boldness
continue to be a testimony. And may the Lord use those things to win people to Christ, even in a
month as depraved and crazy as Pride Month. All right, that's all we got time for today. We'll be back here
tomorrow.
