Some speech is not okay free speech.
Jesus would be the grand marshal at the Pride parade.
Gay people are here.
They're not going anywhere.
Speaking of Desperate, on the view yesterday, I just want to play this for you.
It's not exactly a lead headline.
But we were talking about all this yesterday.
And Jesus, you know, it's one thing to defame lives of TikTok or me or Christopher Foe or Donald Trump or, you know, one of the usual suspects.
That's one thing.
Of course, infinitely more outrageous and offensive is when they try to drag Jesus Christ into this, which is what they did on the view.
Listen to this.
They were in a place that accepts them for who they were.
someone came to that place.
And that's what is so sad.
And I don't know that they hide behind religion,
because I said this on this show once before.
Jesus would be the grand marshal at the Pride Parade.
I don't mean about gay people.
I mean in every argument we have,
but here's your right.
Here's your question.
But it's wrong.
If you're so afraid, why are you going over there?
Yeah.
If they scare you so much, leave them alone.
When stuff scares me, I'll leave it alone.
If I don't want to be bothered, I don't go.
See, that's the problem.
You don't want to just have your feelings.
You want everybody else to join you.
And you know what?
You can scream.
You can cuss.
You can do all the things that you say.
But you know what?
Gay people are here.
They're not going anywhere.
There is nothing you can do.
You know, you can yell and scream.
But, you know, as the Lord, as everybody was talking about, you know, made in God's image.
Yep. Made in God's image. There are no but except for there's none of that.
No. Keep that in mind when you're trying to figure out where you stand as a human being, let alone a Christian.
We'll be right back.
It's just amazing. She says, you can't just have your feelings. You need everyone else to join you.
What? That's the left to a T. That's the perfect way of describing the left, especially the LGBT left and gender identity.
You can't just have your feelings. You need everyone to join you. You can't just feel like the
opposite gender. You need everyone else to join you in affirming you in that. But what I really appreciate
is that the one chick at the beginning starts by saying, and I honestly don't know any of their names
except for Whoopi Goldberg and Joy. So I know those two. The other two, I don't know.
The other, however many it is. The chick at the beginning says that they're weaponizing religion.
They use religion. And then for the rest of the segment, all the other
women on the panel do what she just accused conservatives is doing. They start using religion
to weaponize it against their opponents. So they're like contradicting exactly what she just said.
And what we hear from one of them is that Jesus would have been the grand marshal at the pride
parade. Would have been the grand marshal. Well, that's wrong on many levels, but let's talk about
two of them. One is really basic here, is that Jesus would have been the grand marshal. It's,
not be the grand marshal of any parade that has pride in the title. Because pride is identified in
scripture repeatedly and by Jesus himself repeatedly as a sin. Pride is a sin. Now, it's one thing,
the English language sometimes falls short when it comes to translating biblical texts. And so
we have to kind of figure out what is meant by pride because you can have, you could say that,
I could say I'm proud of my children. I'm proud of my family. You could even have pride in accomplishments.
You know, if you accomplish something, you can say I'm proud of doing that. I'm proud of the work that I did.
Nothing wrong with any of that. Because you're taking pride in something else, right? You're taking pride in achievement, something that was done.
You're taking pride in someone else, a family member. You know, that's just, which is another way of saying love. It's just you love them.
The kind of pride that we're worn about in scripture is this kind of haughty, vain, self-centered, egotistical,
I am the center of the universe kind of pride, which is exactly the sort of pride that the pride parade is designed to communicate and convey and celebrate.
It's all about me.
Hey, that's what the whole pride rate is, right?
It's just, everyone, look at me, look at me.
That's all it is.
So it doesn't even matter the context.
Whatever the context, if you're engaging in that kind of pride,
Jesus is not going to celebrate it with you.
He's going to have some stern words for you about turning from your sin.
But then there is also the context to keep in mind here.
And because you brought it up, right?
They brought it up.
They brought up the Bible.
They brought up Christianity.
You brought it up.
And so we must inform you that what you're saying about Christian teaching and about scripture is just incorrect.
The Bible does, in fact, in both the Old and New Testament, in very explicit terms,
lay out the homosexual act as a sin.
In fact, any sexual act that happens outside of the bonds of marriage is a sin, according to Christian sexual morality.
biblical sexual morality.
And also according to the Bible, marriage is between man and a woman.
That's what it says.
Now, you can, now, if you're on the view or someone aligned with them, you can say, well, I don't care what the Bible says.
All right, but you're the one who brought it up.
Like, you just brought it up.
So they try to do both.
This is their game.
And in that clip, you heard both.
On one hand, no one cares what the Bible says.
Don't use your religion.
And then on the other hand, and by the way, I'll tell you what your religion says about this.
And the game is that if you correct them on what your religion says, then they can revert back to the first talking point and says, why are you talking about religion? You brought it up. So they can make whatever claim they want about your religion. And if you correct them and say, well, actually, you're wrong. It's not what our religion teaches. As a member of my own religion, can I tell you? I mean, you're a bunch of atheist, secular, godless humanists. Can I tell you as a member of that religion? No, no, I'll speak for you, they say. It's totally absurd.
More than 90% of Americans don't get enough fruits, vegetables, and fiber in their diet.
We're all basically walking nutritional disasters.
And that's where balance of nature supplements comes in.
These aren't your typical synthetic vitamins with names you can't pronounce.
We're talking about 47 whole ingredients, 16 fruits, 15 vegetables plus spices and fibers, real stuff,
like wild blueberries, kale, tamaric, mushrooms.
I've taken their fruits and veggie supplements for a while now.
And honestly, it's nice knowing that I'm getting the variety that I need.
without having to turn my kitchen into a produce section,
especially handy to have while traveling as well.
Plus, their fibered spice blend is the only supplement on the market
combining 12 spices with four whole fibers.
Look, I'm not saying this replaces eating actual vegetables.
I'm not a monster, I never suggest such things.
But when life gets crazy and your diet consists mainly of whatever doesn't require cooking,
you know, it's nice to know that you're still getting healthy ingredients with balance of nature.
They're vegan, kosher, gluten-free, made with zero artificial anything.

So the women over on The View were squawking this week about free speech.
And I want to go through a couple of these clips.
First of all, here's Whoopi Goldberg announcing,
tragically, that she's leaving Twitter.
It has been a little over a week since Elon Musk took over Twitter.
And the place is a mess.
He's already called back some of the workforce.
He fired a few days ago.
He's putting his $8 charge for blue check verification or hold.
First it was going to be $20.
Now it's going to be $8.
He also suspended Kathy Griffin for impersonating him on a parody account,
which has started a free Kathy hashtag to Trent.
I mean, I'm getting off.
I'm getting off today because I just feel,
Like, you know, it's so messy.
And I'm tired of now having had certain kinds of attitudes blocked, and now they're back on.
And I just, I'm going to get out.
And if it settles down and I feel more comfortable, maybe I'll come back.
But as of tonight, I'm done with Twitter.
Of course, if you're like me, you hear that and you think, oh, you were on Twitter.
I didn't even know that.
Like, what are the, what do they, I just want to know, if I can get in their own head, get in their heads,
which is not really a place I'd want to be, but, well, how do you think people are going to react to this?
Do you think people are, you're making some big dramatic announcement?
I'm done.
You know, I might be back later, but I just, for now, I'm out of there.
Which, by the way, when it comes to dramatic announcements, that's, that's kind of an anticlimactic way to go about it.
I'm done.
I mean, I might come back later, but I'm done for now.
I will not be on Twitter again until at least tomorrow morning, if not a little bit sooner.
But at this moment right now, I'm not going to be, I am not using Twitter at this moment while I'm on TV.
But what do they expect? Do they think that people are going to, the people who think it's good that Elon Musk took over Twitter, are they going to say, well, never mind.
I mean, if this scares Whoopi Goldberg away, I can't imagine Twitter without Whoopi Goldberg.
And then you also see, once again, just the total absolute fragility of these people.
She says, oh, all these people that were, they were, I was insulated for them, from them.
And now, and now their, their ideas are going to be, I'm going to maybe be exposed to some of their ideas and opinions and their words.
And I can't, I, I can't deal with that.
She also has some thoughts on the nature of free speech.
I think this is in clip six.
Communications Act, which basically allows this to happen.
I think it's section 230.
It allows, you know, protection of social media.
Under the freedom of speech.
Under the freedom.
Well, they just say that their third party platforms,
they're not the ones that are putting it out there.
And that can only change by legislation.
And if the Republicans rule the Senate, that will never change.
It's a bit challenging because if you treat it like a publication,
then that means they're liable for any crazy things.
Someone else, which is a public.
It is a public.
There is a way to craft it.
They keep saying that it's free speech.
some speech is not all for all speech is not free speech some speech is not okay free speech so
everybody has to agree on that but if people keep saying well you're heard by free speech it's
going to be a problem but you know what this is going to be this is our problem but ain't my
problem today because some speech is not okay free speech that's that's it so that there's been this
debate for centuries, really, about free speech, what is free speech, what counts is free speech?
And is free speech absolute?
And Whoopi Goldberg has, I guess, settled the debate entirely.
She says that, you know, some speech is just not okay.
And how do we know if it's not okay or not?
I guess she'll tell us.
Meanwhile, although this maybe has been a debate, I've never found the debate all that interesting.
because to me now they're always around the margins,
they're always going to be the harder kind of cases.
But for the most part, you know, like 99.9% of all the speech that goes on,
it's really easy to determine whether it, quote, counts as free speech or whether it ought to count as free speech or not.
Okay.
And the things that shouldn't count as free speech, generally speaking, if you're making direct,
violent threats against someone, actual threats,
and using a pronoun you don't like, that's not a threat.
Disagreeing with you is not a threat.
Saying something like, I'm going to come to your house and kill you.
Like saying the things the trans activists say to me almost every day,
that's a threat. That's clearly a threat.
So that's not free speech. At least it shouldn't be.
Trying to explicitly encourage other people
to cause harm to someone or to commit a crime.
again, that clearly shouldn't count as free speech.
Defamation,
slander, liable, any form of speech written or spoken
where you're lying about someone in order to cause them harm,
not free speech.
And those are pretty much all the exceptions.
You might be able to come up with a few here and there,
but you know what the exceptions are when you see them.
it's pretty rare when you come across an actual hard case of trying to determine, oh, does that qualify as free speech or not?
Because again, I think 99.9% of it we all know.
And most of the speech that goes on on social media, people might be vulgar, they might be, you know, they might be cruel, they might be rude.
But they're essentially just expressing their opinion.
And if you're expressing your opinion, that's free speech.
and that ought to be allowed on social media.
It ought to be allowed on Twitter.
If Twitter is saying, I mean, if Twitter is saying that they've got, if Elon Musk is saying,
he's a commitment to free speech, if that's what he's saying, he wants to run his company,
then that means that people should be able to simply just express their ideas and their opinions,
and that's it.
And if you don't like what someone says, you can disagree with them, you can even block them.
There's a lot of, you can choose not to read it.
There are a lot of ways around it.
But to me, it's not all that difficult.
Let people speak.
Let them voice their opinions.
That's it.
