This is the FCB Podcast Network. A praas Masoda day that we won't with Maath then we won't to say oh we got it does? No one can take that. Owen this gonna be okay? A preassa that we won't with say then we won't to say oh we got it does? No one can take that oway don't say this don't be okay. Well, hey, everybody, welcome back to just listen to yourself. This was supposed to be a j lt Y live I have been working to do better with getting my voice out there and giving people different ways to hear me and see me, and so I want to really make more use of my Rumble channel, and so I'm trying to experiment with live streaming over there. But I just I had so many technical difficulties while I was trying to set up the live stream I had to cancel it. So I'm really sorry for the few people I know, there's just a few of you who tuned in. I didn't really advertise it for this very reason, because I knew that I was going to struggle. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to record this video. I'm going to release this also as an audio podcast, and I'll put the video on Rumble and then I'll spend this next week working out the technical issues that I had. I wish I had other people to do this for me. I really do. I can't help but feel a little frustrated. I feel like the industry is moving ahead of me. And it used to be sort of the wild West. If you don't have the resources, you can just kind of get in there and do it. And now everyone's become so slick because you need resources. You need you need producers, you need outlets and networks and people to do all of this technical will work for you. And I don't have that. I just have me and I have on the other end, as far as audio, I have Darvy O, who you know, he runs an entire network. He's not the producer producer of this show in the context of him taking care of all the technical things. So I want to apologize it's just me. But here's the thing. I still have things to say. I have a lot of things to say. I think about things all day long. Sometimes they don't constitute what I feel is an entire show's worth of information. But I want to talk to people. I want to chat. I want to say things, so I'm just going to keep pushing forward. I'm not going to try to be fancy. If you're looking for fancy production, select production, then I don't think I'm the gal for you. If you're just looking for interesting discussion, then stick around. So today I've got it. I get some content out there because I promise y'all something again my deep business. Apologies to the two or three people that went to the live chat to see what was going on. It's just not going to work. And that's my fault. That's not Rumble's fault or technology's fault. That's my fault. I just I can never do things the same way twice. I'm always I thought I had it figured out, and then of course the day of it doesn't happen. So I do have some things to talk about though, But let's get some business out of the way. If you're not a subscriber to just listen to yourself, you can go ahead and find that on any audio platform, and you can also find my channel here A Davis on YouTube or here, and also you can buy my book Drawing Lines Why Conservatives must begin to battle fiercely in the arena of ideas or sign up for my substack. But the best way that you can help me now is to hit that Rumble Channel subscribe button and then offer me some patience while I figure out the technology. But I really do want to do at least a weekly program, and I think I'm also going to try Twitter spaces as well and just see how that works out for me. But today I feel like such an old lady. I really do. I'm so sorry. I am so sorry that I just do not have the resources to make this a slick production. But I promised you that I would give you my views on Candice Owans. And I know a lot of you have been out here wondering what I'm thinking about it, how I feel about it, and I've been purposefully holding my tongue. I've talked privately with some people, but most of for most of this drama, I've just sort of been watching with my popcorn. And so those of you who may have been living under a rock. Candie Owans was finally let go from The Daily Wire, and she it's clear that that was over her comment send her opinions on the Middle East conflict, Israel, and Judaism in general, it seems I've explained at length why I think Candice is problematic. I've written about it, and I've done a couple of episodes on the show about it, so you can go back and listen to that. I don't think I need to rehash my feelings about who she is or what she does for the movement, but I do want to talk about this. A lot of you all are wondering what do I think about this firing from The Daily Wire. I think that it is probably a good business move. It was probably a decent business move to bring her on board in the first place. She had a huge following. She came with a lot of people, and she definitely brought views to that network, to that publication, So I don't blame them for hiring her. I think what I wish they would have done, and what I wish most conservative out let's would do, is hire a plethora of black conservatives instead of just making space for one voice right getting a token or even just two voices. That really bothers me the idea that conservative outlets are, well, we don't see race, so we're not really gonna We're not going to make it a priority to hire minority conservatives, but we do need, you know, at least one person to talk about these issues, so we have some credibility. So we'll hire one person, and then what happens is you get just the one point of view, and just like there is a market difference in the opinions of a lot of cultural issues at the daily wire between people like Jeremy and Andrew Clavin and even Ben Shapiro and Michael Knowles, I think they would all say agree and even be proud of the fact that they disagree on the way they see certain issues, but they don't give that same prioritization or grace or thought when it comes to hiring black conservatives are minority conservatives. You need more than one point of view, So I think it would have been and it would be helpful for them to hire multiple personalities in that sphere so that their audience is getting a breadth of points of view and then they're not stuck being chained to one person who flies off the reservation at some point over an issue like this, which is what is happening. So that's sort of my general discomfort with the whole thing. I think if more conservative outlets stopped this very narrow mindset of we just have a few places for people like you, Kira. Black conservatives, we just just have one or two places, but we don't want to have too many. I just I think that's unhelpful because you have to understand that even in the black conservative community, there is a wide range of different opinions on different issues, and we're still all conservatives, but we see things differently. So that being said, I think that was their mistake, but I also think it was absolutely their right to fire her. And I'm definitely disturbed by what I'm seeing in the response out there to her firing. How do I put this? There are a lot of anti Semitic a holes out there, and watching the commentary from those people on Candace's firing and underneath her posts about it. She's made several posts about it. I think when you look at the nature of the response and the people who are supporting her, and the people who are throwing vitriol at Jeremy and Ben and the Daily Wire, I think if you look at that, you can understand now why I've always been uncomfortable with candidates. I think a lot of you when I was criticizing her for criticizing black people. There were a lot of you who are like, oh, you're jealous, Oh you're you're just you're just mad, or you're not looking at this properly, or people would say, oh, why don't you go to Candas and talk to her and have it out instead of fighting in public. We're not fighting in public, and we're not children. By the way, Candas doesn't even know who I am, so I can't fight with her. But we're also not children, so we don't need you to keep us from fighting. You know, we're adults with opinions. We have opinions and ideas, and we should discuss those. So when I was saying that, I was saying, look, I know we're both conservative, and so we say things that sound a lot alike. But she says other things that maybe on the surface you might say there's nothing wrong with this, but if you dig into what it means and who the types of people that espouse these views, you should feel uncomfortable about this. When I was saying that about her commentary about black people, I just got dragged through the mud for it. But when that attitude fills over into criticizing Israel and generally being anti semitic then, of course, and rightfully so. Then people are like, well, you know, she is a conservative, but this has gone too far. This tells me that there's some underlying problem in her worldview, right, So now you get it. So I'm not going to punish you or chastise you for that opinion, but I would just like you to think about that and then think about it the next time someone like me says, hey, I think we should give pause, you know, a moment of pause for the things that we're hearing coming out of this person's mouth. As a black person, it doesn't feel good to me. It doesn't feel comfortable. It feels like there might be some underlying issues here that are going to cause problems for the conservative movement and for the movement to spread the notion of freedom, the ideas of freedom, which is what I'm most concerned about, which is why I'm coming to you on this yanky platform. I have no slick production at all. I really just want to discuss issues because I want to make change, and so I hope that in the future you'll take people like me a little more seriously and you won't immediately hurl the jealousy insult at us. So I think the Daily Wire absolutely has the right of fire candas. And I don't like some of the criticism I'm seeing a Ben, and I do think a lot of this is rooted in bigotry. People are men, They're just saying that he's just being I don't know, a Jewish bigot or what. I don't even want to repeat some of the things that people are saying about him, but people are lying actually about Ben. And I heard some commentary yesterday from conservatives saying, oh, if if this was a liberal network firing somebody for this, Ben would screen free speech, free speech. But it's his network, so he doesn't mind. No, that's not who Ben Shapiro is. And I'm not a Shapiro defender, never have been, although I do think that he has done a lot for the conservative movement. And I might not be the biggest fan of The Daily Wire, but I do love a lot of the ideas that he has over there and the things that he's been doing. And one thing I'll say for Ben is he's consistent. And I've known Ben for many years now, fifteen years now, from back in the beginning of this movement in the Brightbart days. He's been consistent the whole time he would He's always maintained that it is a private business is right to associate with who they want to associate with, and it's the customer's right to decide if they want to consume that content. That's it. He's always said that. So, no, he's not being a hypocrite here, and he doesn't have hiring and firing ability, and certainly he has sway and influence. He's a co founder at the Daily Wire, but that doesn't mean he can hire and fire. So who knows what arguments were going on behind the scenes, But now we see the argument that won was fire Candace, And I'm sure there were contract obligations that had to get worked through as well. So the Daily Wire has the right to let her go. I think from what I'm seeing from Candace, she also agrees she might not be happy with it, but I think she also agrees with that idea that Daily Wire can do what they want, private company can do what they want. I'm not there were a lot of people tagging me and posts saying, oh Kiro was right, or now you should hire Kira Davis, or almost gloating about it, and I want you to know that I don't feel like there is any reason to gloat here. I know I'm right in my opinion about what she offers the conservative space. I have no opinions on her personally. I don't know her. We've never met. We're not friends, mutual friends, but I don't know her as a person. I will not besmirch her as a person. I can only speak to what I view from her public statements, which is this is her job, so she has a lot of public statements out there. And while I don't care for her brand, I do think she's more of an opportunist than a conservative. And I'm not even saying that's wrong. She's an entertainer and so she's going to do what's good for her brand and her business. I don't think her being fired from The Daily Wire is anything to gloat over. And I wasn't right or wrong about anything. I had an opinion and I gave it. But gloating, no, absolutely not. First of all, she's fine. She's leaving with millions of dollars, and she's probably going to go to another endeavor that's going to earn her millions more. She's married to a very wealthy man. Her position in the American upper class is secure, so nothing bad is happening to Candace. Maybe I might feel inclined to gloat if that were the case, but she's not losing an audience. She's not, you know, crawling under a rock. She hasn't been banished or canceled. She's moving on to something else, which is clearly what she wanted to do, and it's clearly what the Daily Wire wants her to do. It seems like a win win for both of them, and you know what best to her. She's got a huge audience and those people are going to go with her wherever she wants to go. It's not the audience that I want, and I still I stand by my past and present criticisms of Candace Owns. But as far as who she is as a human being, I don't know her, so I'm not going to make judgments about her character. I have observations about her motivations, but even those could be wrong. But I don't think she's helpful to the conservative movement, and I wouldn't be surprised if we see her taking a leftward turn coming up here. Maybe not totally, but shifting to the center to get some of that mainstream credibility. And again, more power to her. Whatever. I just I don't have any personal animis towards her, and so that's part of the reason why I just don't talk a whole lot about her. She's an interesting cultural figure, and as someone who comments on culture, I'll comment and comment on Candace too. But you know what, I wish you the best. If you want to follow her over to wherever she goes, more power to you. Let's see what she does out there. She's gonna be fine. I'm not worried about her. Good luck to you, Candace and Daily Wire. My message to you is, don't hire one black conservative to replace Candace. Hire a panel. Hire a panel just like you have panel of different white conservatives on the network, and just get a different different points of views. And then that way you're hedging your bets against things like you're not putting all your eggs in this one basket, and you're and you'll do for us in the black conservative community what you do for the white conservative community and do well, which is offer different viewpoints from a position of conservatism. I think you might be surprised at the perspectives you get, and also how far how much forward it moves discussion on the platform. I could be wrong, but that and that's my that's just my suggestion, just a poor independent podcast out here doing my best. So take that advice or leave it? All right, I want to talk about this. Oh, let me find this I should have had. I'm all flustered today because none of this is going the way I wanted it to go. I just got thrown off my game by all of my technical issues. Where's my bookmarks here? Okay? And we're seeing something happening in the conservative sphere and this has a lot to do with what's going on with Candace. Here we go, bookmarks? I found them, all right, This has a lot to do with what's going on with Candace. And I saw this tweet from Chris Rufro. I don't know if you know Christopher Rufro. He's great. He's a conservative. I believe he's an atheist as well, so I think. But he's an academic and he says this. He was getting in on this whole discussion about Candace owns. Because here's the other thing. And I'm glad I had this distraction to gather my thoughts. Here's the other thing that was going on with the Candas situation this past week that I find really both interesting and perplexing. This phrase Christ is King has popped up and people are adding the hashtag and adding in And at first I saw it and I thought, yeah, hallelujah, Christ is King exactly. But I started looking at how it was being used and I was like, wait a minute, what's going on here? And it began to look as though and now I understand that this is actually a common phrase used by anti Semites to sort of how do I say, discount Judaism and hammer home the point that Christ is king in and he's not your king, he's our king. And while theologically speaking, of course, that's I believe that Christ is the Lord overall and he is a Messiah, unlike my Jewish brethren, they don't believe that. So obviously, in that sense, I believe that. But when I see how it's being used, and I see the type of people that are using that term in their profiles, I see that it's being used as a threat, it's being used as an insult, it's not being used as a declarative statement. And I think if you disagree with that, I think you're being very naive. I'm almost fifty years old now, so I know how to read between lines as well, so I think it's very naive to say that that it's a phrase, that's just a phrase and not being used as some kind of slur or insult. And it is, of course I believe in the statement that Jesus is King, absolutely, But what it's done is it's caused this whole political Christianity thing to bubble up. And there's always been a type of political Christianity, but it's what the progressive lefts leftists have used to bash us over the head. On the right, especially those of us who identify as evangelical Christians are just Christians in general, and there's this idea that Christian Christians and politics are a problem, and Christians and politics are a cult, and Christians in politics pervert the political process. And when they say things like that, I do believe they are referring to people like this, and sometimes they're just they want us to go away, and they don't want us to be involved in the conversation, so they're just insulting us, right, They're just saying of course, Christians should be involved in politics. Absolutely, We should be involved in all aspects of society. We should be involved in the culture and entertainment and everything. This is our world we've been given to be stewards of, and so we shouldn't retreat from it. Should head into the lionston we should head into the culture. But there is this weird type of political Christianity that's bubbling up, and I'm seeing Candice use it more where she where's Before she really didn't spend a lot of time talking about Bathe and particularly Jesus, and now he seems to be permeating all of her communications. But it doesn't feel like gospel. It doesn't feel like gospel. It feels like threats. It feels like insulting. It doesn't feel like inviting people into the gospel and into sharing the gospel message. From what I've heard about from what I've heard from her, excuse me, I will only speak to what i've heard from what I've heard from her out of her mouth. I'm not sure that she's that familiar with the gospel message. She seems to be politicizing this. I've also noticed that other people on the extreme right, like Nick is doing the same thing I've I went to find out what happened to Miloianopolis one day and went down a rabbit hole of what he's doing these days. And he's doing the same thing with Christianity, sort of using it as a political bludgeon, as a political marker, if you will, almost as a brand, I would say, as a brand, rather than the gospel. This is starting to pop up. I find it so well. Well, let me read this text from Chris Ruffro. He says, it's getting insane. We have a problem on the right. The economics of online discourse are increasingly at odds with forming and mobilizing a successful political movement. That's exactly what's happening here. So I started this stream again apologies that I could not figure out the technology to push this through to my rumble channel. I'll figure it out, But I started this stream talking about how frustrating it is for me. When I first got into this game, it was sort of like hit record and go. And now everyone's got to be produced, and everything's got to be slick, and all of the technology is aimed at making everything more slick and streamlined, and I know that's more pleasing for the eye and the ear. I get that. But what it does is it's really commercializing political discourse. And so now we're in this era where it's the slickness of the production that matters more than the message. And that's because of as Chris is right, he rightly points out here the economics connected to the message. And so when you see people like me and people like Candace, the difference between us is one of us is a brand, right, and one of us is part of the movement. And I got into this because I wanted to make change. I still do. And please do not get me wrong. I am an unabashed capitalist. Give me money. I have no about that, or I'm not sort of resting on my principles and not wanting to feed my family. The more money I can make from this endeavor, the better. But it's not why I got into it, and it's not why I'll stay in it. I really feel passionately about the spread of good ideas and giving people space to debate and consider and think critically through things, because I am very dismayed at the direction that I see the country going in. And I'm not saying people like Canis aren't either. But what I'm saying is that that's the difference between a brand. A brand always looks towards the economic value of what they're saying, and then people like me, who you might look at and say, well, they don't really have very interesting production value, but we might be spending more time speaking on the value of the movement. And I don't know how to rectify those two things. I think Chris is right. Chris is also part of that ecosystem as well. Chris is right, but I don't know what the solution is because we're sort of all at the mercy of social media now. It's this is not necessarily a conservative problem. This is just a social media problem, and it's a problem of the shift in entertainment and how we get our news and commentary. And I don't know, we're not big in this movement, is not big enough to solve that problem, so we do have to work within it. It's why I love guys like Bongino. We are huge fans of Bongino on the show. You guys know, I mean, he's a friend, but also I get the honor of filling in on his show from time to time, and also my condolences as well. To Dan. I did reach out personally to say that as well. But my condolence is on the loss of his mother recently, and it was unexpected. I lost my father unexpectedly last year, and I know how shocking that can be, how strange it can feel. So but I love, we love Bongino because he's the same person on every platform. He's the same. I used to think when I first met Dan, and he might not remember this, but when I first met him, he was a candidate for Congress in Maryland. He ran a couple of times, and he was sort of he's very conservative, but diplomatic, middle of the road. I didn't understand. What I understand now is that then he was running for office, and so he maybe wasn't as bombastic as he really was on the inside. So when he stopped running for office, I thought, gosh, he's gotten a little red pilled. He's really pulled hard to the right. But what I didn't understand is that there's a difference in personality in the candidate personality and your real personality. And I now know this because I ran for office, So now I know that's always who Dan was. He just was moderating for the run, which is valuable and a good thing to do. But he's been consistent. The truth is, once I got to know Dan, I realized he's been consistent. He's the same guy that you see on news as he is if you run into him on the street. He really is. But that's a rarity in this business. He's been rewarded for that, and I'm glad for it. But that's a rarity in this business. Most of it's geared towards entertainment, and you have to know that when you're picking your conservative commentators or any commentator. We are all involved in this weird economy. So now something has happened in the faith based sector of conservatism, and now there is some value in that. Maybe we could say the Babylon Bee had a big part in that, bringing Christianity into mainstream capital excuse me capitalism. Perhaps, I don't know. I mean, now the Babylon Bee is getting all kinds of flak from conservatives because of some of their irreverend headlines that make fun of us, all of us our side. You know, I did that black Republican skinch over at the Babylon b and a lot of people loved it. I loved it. I thought it was so funny. It was based on my real experiences. I was having a conversation with Adam Yenzer, their head writer, over there, and I was running for office, and I was saying, gosh, this is so weird. Whenever I go to these fundraiser events and I introduced myself immediately, people will start talking to me about race before anything, and it's so weird. And I was telling funny stories and about it, and I literally had one lady tell me I literally the conversation went like this. I said, Hi, I'm Kia Davis. I'm running for school board in our district. And she said, oh, Kira, oh I've seen you. I love you. I just want you to know my niece is black and we just love her so much. That was literally how the conversation went. Nice lady, nice conversation. I get what her intention's worse, so I had no hard feelings, but I was just saying. I was joking about it with Adam. I said, it's just very bizarre. It's a strange position to be in. And so he wrote a sketch based on it and we filmed it. It was so fun I thought turned out so funny, and people just got so angry about it. Conservatives so angry. We're not like that. They must be talking about liberals. I've never seen anything like this, well I have, it was based on my experience. But we can't laugh at ourselves. So even the Babylon Bee is getting a lot of flag and being accused of now shifting to the left because they're choosing to make fun of all everybody instead of just the left. But perhaps we could say that the Babylon Bee has brought Christianity mainstream, at least economically speaking. And I'm seeing I believe I'm seeing people like Canda's Nick Fuentes, although I'm a little bit reticent to put them in the same category just yet. She says she is at home and they're not friends, so I'll take her for her word on that. But people like that Harleie Kirk. Even there seems to be this surfle, surface level Christianity that is being monetized. And because we are so desperate to hear faith expressed in public, to hear Christian faith expressed in public, we flock to it and we don't think critically through the things those people are saying. And a lot of these people, and I'm talking now about in the commentary sector, the political commentary sector, But a lot of those people remind me of sort of televangelists or big, big, big money preachers, like prosperity gospel preachers, I'll say, like Ostein or Benny Hinn. By the way, Mike Winger, pastor Mike Winger, the founder of Thinking Biblically a great channel. He's been on this show. You can find that interview on my YouTube channel and on all of on the audio files for just just listen to yourself. Love Mike Winger. I'm obsessed with his channel. He's doing a breakdown of Benny Hin and why Benny hen is not a real preacher and a heretic. But just to loop back around, go find that he's doing it right now. Go find his channel and sit on it. You'll love it and it'll lead you to other great channels. I'm obsessed with Gavin Ortlund's channel right now, and he does a breakdown of reformed theology and beliefs. Because you know what, when the Catholics and other mainline Christians, they do that very well, right, educate their congregants in church history and in the Reformed evangelical tradition, we don't do that, so we don't know a lot of the history of why we believe the things we believe. So Gavin does that, and he's very academic and kind of goofy because he's such an academic, and I love it. Another great channel for you to go check out. Anyway, bring this full circle. I do think that there is a an economic Christianity that's beginning to pop up, and I'm finding it interesting. I'm not necessarily dismayed by it at this point because it's nothing new. Again, I just pointed out televangelism and now the Christian podcast Fear is gaining traction as well. It's nothing new, so I'm not necessarily frightened by it. But I do think it's interesting and I do think it's Actually I'm not so worried about its effect on the gospel. Gospel will stand for itself and noa's has. I am worried about its effect on politics, because I think it's a it's a how should I say this. I don't want to say perverted. I don't mean that in the sexual sense, but I do think it's a twisted movement it's a twisted it's a negative industr twining of faith and politics. So I want my listeners to be very careful of it. And it's coming up, and this is biblical. Be very careful of anybody who tickles your ears. Me, you know the rest of my compatriots over here on the FCB Radio Network, Candice dan Bongino, anybody does anybody that you you trust and listen to Mike Winger, anybody I know Mike wouldn't mind me saying that. Anybody be skeptical of us if we're saying things that tickle your ears, just always have a skeptical eye about it. It's it's very seductive that you find yourselves being sucked into all that. So Chris is right. I do think this is it's interesting, and I do think it's becoming a problem. I do think it's becoming a problem for political discourse. But here's what I always say, everybody, if you're worried about, well, how do I defend against this? Or you know, my liberal and progressive friends keep bringing this up, and you know, I do agree that these people are a problem. First of all, it's fine to agree. Here's here's my philosophy. I've set it over and over again on this show. I'm not a conservative because of other conservatives. I'm a conservative because I believe in the values of limited government, individualism, personal freedom, god given human rights, and our constitutional republic. That's why I'm a conservative. I'm not a conservative because of Charlie Kirk or Dan Bongino or Ben Shapiro or the people at my church. I'm not a conservative because of other conservatives. So I don't ever owe anyone a defense. I do not have to defend anyone. I sometimes I will if they're friends or I feel somebody is being unjustly targeted, but I owe no defense of anyone. I don't have to defend a damn thing that comes out of Kansas's mouth. I don't ever have to defend anything that comes out of Bongino's mouth, although that be considerably easier because he's a guy. I don't. I don't have to because they have no bearing on my conservative values, beliefs, or particularly on my faith. And you know, my faith is a large part of my conservatism, for certain, and so you can rest assured. It might be annoying to see some of these people pop up and maybe they do lend credibility to the criticisms of the other side, But you don't have to take those criticisms personally. You don't have to take them on. They're not for you. If you're like me, you're not a conservative because of how other Conservatives are or act, or the things they say. I believe what I believe. I'm not a Christian because of how other Christians act. I didn't become a Christian because Christians were nice. I became a Christian because I believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ that we were dead in our sin, literally sentenced to death, that we crossed from an immortal life to immortal life in our sin, and that God said his son Jesus Christ, God, we are trying God in three parts, father, son, and Holy Spirit, his son Jesus Christ, to exact a sacrifice for our sins so that we could once again capture immortality and live with our Creator. That's why I'm a Christian. And Christians do horrible things to each other. They do horrible things to other people, They use the church for horrible purposes. There is no shortage of horrible people in the Christian Church at large. It makes me no never mind when it comes to what I believe, because it's Jesus I believe in, not Christianity, not Christians. Does that make sense? And I feel the same way about my politics. But I do feel burdened to warn people about this and to ask you to be vigilant about what you're consuming. And we're just going to have the same problem as on the left. All right, moving on here, I guess this is turning out to be again. This was supposed to be a live episode that I was gonna just send to the audio. I guess this is sort of turning into another kitchen Sink episode. My last regular episode was that was last week. Let me know what you think of the Kitchen Sink episodes. You can write me jlty at ProtonMail dot com, jlt Y at ProtonMail dot com. Well, what else did I have on my agenda here, Kate Middleton, let's talk about I want to talk about this in terms of what's going on in the general culture at large with conspiracy or what we're calling conspiracy theories, because y'all know, if you've been listening to me for any length of time, that my tinfoil hat is getting point Er every day and things speaking of kandas owens as she did a right before she got fired from The Daily Wire. She did episode on or a clip. I don't watch her shows, so, but I saw and clips on Marie the pen whatever. Who's the president of France. His wife, his old lady wife, this literal old lady and apparently there are rumors that she's a man. And you know, when I first saw it, I'm gonna be honest with you, this was my first thought thought when I saw Candace's discussing this. Uh. A year ago, I would have said that Candace is crazy, And now I'm not so sure. I just don't know what to believe anymore. This is why it's so important for you to have a true north. This is why you need a solid foundation. Everything's upside down and gravity seems to be letting loose. You're gonna need something to hold on to. So everything feels chaotic right now, and it's hard to know what to believe. And the thing is is that once those seeds of doubt start getting planted about one thing, that's how it became a conservative. Right. You're wrong about one thing, and then you start wondering what else you're wrong about. And that's good because it creates skepticism and analysis and curiosity. Those things are always good. But it can be bad because if you lean into that too much, then you won't believe anything, and that's just as dangerous as believing everything. And so the only way to hedge your bets against that, to protect yourself against that, is to have something that is meaningful and permanent in your life. And so when I feel confused, I'm not sure how to think about things or view things, I go to the word. I go to God. He never changes. The word doesn't change. And that's very helpful because I've been using this word a lot lately. I feel quite unmoored lately, So Kate Middleton of the British royal family, and you can spare me your judgments about how we're Americans and we don't care about the royal family. I do. I do because it's just fun. Princes and princesses and kings and queens and ceremony, and it's fun. They're not my royal family, so I can just enjoy what's going on. So save your criticisms, just save it. They're a big deal in the culture everybody. And remember what I've been talking about this the whole time. You want to peel back from the culture, you're going to pay the consequences for that. You don't have to be interested in them, but you don't have to criticize people for being interested in them. So Kate Middleton disappeared, she went in for what they were calling abdominal surgery, dropped off the radar. Here's why that's alarming, because the British Royal Family, literally their only job is to face the public. They have no governmental power. Although they are the heads, the official heads of the British government, they don't have any legislative power. They can't do anything for or against the people of the United Kingdom but their figureheads. And so that's why you see William and Kate and Harry and Meghan before they took off for Hollywood. They're always going to charity events and they're opening, you know, ceremonies, and they're visiting programs and you know, they're out there every day doing stuff. They're actually the nickname for the Royal family is the firm. When you join that family, you're joining the firm. That's your job. You don't get to be a lawyer. You don't get to be a doctor. You don't get to be a publicist or a veterinarian or whatever your dreams were of growing up. If you're a part of the British royal family, you don't get to pursue your dreams. Your job is to be with the public and in the public, and that's a very draining job, by the way, So I think people should give give I know this Gonnaund crazy, but I think sometimes these folks deserve a little more greace than we give them because what they do is very taxing. Kate Milton being the example. So her only job is to go out in public and face the public and see the public. It's literally her only job, you know, besides being a mom and wife. Well, she disappears and the Palace gives this weird abdominal surgery thing, but then no more updates. We don't know where she is. People are starting to ask, well, where is she? Has she left? Because there's been all kinds of rumors about affairs and this, that and the other. And then you know Epstein's lists or Ayll families involved in all kinds of Dirney stuff too, So maybe she got w into something and wasn't comfortable with it. Who knows people were in the absence of information, people were inserting their own information. So finally the Palace comes out and releases a Mother's Day photo of her for the British. It wasn't our Mother's Day, but it was theirs, and it was clearly photoshopped. So then that only added to the suspicion, why were you Why would you photoshop this picture of this mother. They wouldn't even say, oh, Kate was in the hospital this year and so we were using last year's photo. They just it was so odd that they will photoshop something new. That only added to the hysteria. Finally, Kate Middleton made an appearance. Well, no, here's the other thing, that weird thing that happened. William does appear with her in public, but there's only one grainy, wide angle shot of him in the car with her and her face is turned away. And then they went to visit an orphanage, but they didn't bring the press with them, which is odd in itself, and they again they filmed like an at a distance, wide angle shot of her and William rushing out of this orphanage and back to the car and they're smiling and laughing, but it's obviously not her. It's her body double who's well known in the United Kingdom. So of course all this adds up to insanity, like we're all having to insert our own explanations for what the hell is going on here. And so finally Kate comes out of hiding and she turns out she's been undergoing treatment for cancer. She didn't say what type, I don't think, but and she she's always been very thin and gaunt, I'll say that, but she definitely did look ill, and so she talked about it. And now everybody's saying, oh, see you you vultures, you guys, are you should you should feel bad for how you've thrown out all of these theories and just leave this woman alone, let her suffer in peace, let her deal with her health issues. And while the mother and me says, yes, you know, she's a woman and a mother, and it's got to be tough to struggle with that privately, knowing that the public is clamoring for very personal details about your health struggles. I understand that part, but I, you know, just get over yourselves, everybody, Like, of course, it's our place to talk about this. Their only job is to be in public. That's what they do. And they're not serving me because I'm an American. But they do serve the British public, and they serve them by being in public. And so if you're going to disappear and then not give a rational explanation for that disappearance, they didn't have to go into details about her diagnosis. They could have said she is suffering from cancer. They did it for the King, right, King Charles undergoing treatment for cancer. They did it for him, they told everybody. So no, don't blame people for being curious and then, in the absence of information, inserting their own based on the limited information they have. That's not the wrong thing to do. Their only job is to be in public. So this is what it is. So savior moralizing about those of us out here commenting about it. Of course we should comment about it. Of course we're wondering about it. There's nothing wrong with that. That's that's the gig gigs. So I'm more upset about people criticizing those of us who are out here wondering what's going on with Kate Middleton. More upset about that than actually the whole Kate Medalon thing. I wish her the best, and obviously some of the details of what she's going through do need to be protected. She is a human being, but she's also a human being with a job. And if a doctor, it's not the same thing. I know. But if a doctor suddenly disappeared and this does happen, suddenly disappeared and they had a whole week's worth of appointments, and those people show up to the doctor's office but no doctor and no explanation, yeah, they're going to be concerned, upset. They're going to start talking amongst themselves trying to figure out what's the deal here? Where'd the doctor go? Why didn't he tell us where he went? You know, it's the same thing. She's got a job to do, and the job is literally only being in public and speaking to the public and on behalf of public service organizations. So yeah, if you disappear from that job, the public needs an explanation. You're one of the wealthiest people in the world because that is your only job. So all right, and what else do I have on the agenda for today? I'm wrapping it up. Oh, I did talk about this my goodness, this this Mount Diablo grooming plan. I don't know if you had the chance to see it. Let me look this up. Make sure I have it here. I did. I did download it. Hangtye, folks, Yeah, here, here we go. A friend of mine, an acquaintance of mine, posted this comes from, funny enough, the Mount Diablo Unified School District, Mount Diablo here in California. And it's something that she discovered. It wasn't it wasn't something that the school district provided for anybody. It's something that they It was a part of their sex ed curriculum for fifth graders in Mount Diablo Unified School District fifth graders. And Laura Powell is this woman's name. She's a lawyer. You can find her on Twitter and also a parent advocate. And she discovered this because she was looking into how much time the district was spending on sexual ed curriculum. When we live in a state where I think only thirty three percent of students are passing standardized testing, and then it gets even lower when you go district to district. I happen to live in one of the higher districts in the state, but there, you know, there are LAUSD, I think something like only thirty three percent of students are reading above grade level, only fourteen percent of black males are performing math above grade level. It I don't have to explain. It's tragic, it's it's horrible. And yet you have school districts like Mount Diablo spending hours and hours and hours of valuable classroom time on a sex said curriculum that is really bizarre. And so as she was questioning this because Laura is a lawyer, so she works within the boundaries of the law, and she says, hey, you're not following legal guidelines for even this egregious sex said curriculum. Then she discovers this handout that's part of the fifth grade sex sid curriculum that, by the way, parents are not being told they can opt out of. You still, we have some opt out plans still when it comes to this curriculum, and the schools are just simply choosing not to inform parents and so they were not informed they could opt out of this lesson. So what did she find? She found this handout untrusted adults and it's an explanation and in the form of Q and A session. I actually did a little just saying about it earlier this week, so that's like a bite sized commentary on it. If you want to go share that, I'll read this again to you right now because it's absolutely stunning. It's a handout talking about trusted adults in the Q and a session was hidden from parents and Laura found this here. It is just a few paragraphs. Who is a trusted adult? Well, a trusted adult is someone you can talk with about anything, someone you feel happy being with, someone who is a good listener, or someone who has helped you before. Should have brought this to my screen. I wonder if I still can't let me see do you mind? I know we're not in the live format, so this isn't as helpful as y'all are just going to have to listen to me arring this in and then I'm going to see if I can put this up. What kinds of things can you tell a trusted adult about anything you want to? Things that make you feel scared, uncomfortable, or confused, a problem you're having, including a problem in a friendship or other relationship that is a problem. A trusted adult will try to help you, no matter what the problem is. What would a trusted adult do if you told them that something bad or dangerous happened to you, or that you were worried that something bad might happen to you, A trusted adult would try to help you solve the problem, be understanding, get help, and work hard to keep you safer. Do I only need one trusted adult in my life? Some people have one person who they talk with about any issue or problem they are facing. Some people have different trusted adults they talk to depending on what they want to talk about. It is good to be able to identify who you would talk to in different situations. And I don't know if you noticed. What I noticed right away about that, besides how creepy it was, is that there wasn't the word parents one time in this document. This is intentional. It is to set parents up as the distrusted person, right the person who isn't trustworthy. Parents should be the default. Parents should be the default. And it is schools that have to prove. It is staff members that have to prove that they are the safe ones for our children, not the opposite, But the schools are making it the opposite that you, as the parent, have the burden of proof that it's your burden to prove that your child is safest with you and can trust you. And are there bad parents out there that are untrustworthy? Sure? But are there bad teachers and staff members that are untret trustworthy one hundred and fifty thousand percent. And every single day you see a story about a teacher getting arrested for sexual abuse, every single freaking day. So that argument doesn't hold water. So the default has to be the parents. But they're not making the default parent the parent. This is a handbook for grooming. Lower your child's boundaries around other adults. Make them feel comfortable with other adults, non familial adults. Make them feel like those people are safe if they're nice to you, nice to you, Is that the standard you're teaching your children for who you should trust, Well, if they're really nice to you and they seem like they care like that. Pedophiles don't abuse kids by being mean to them. They lure them in, they lure their families and by getting them to trust them. And I don't have to explain grooming to you. Every sensible adult knows this. Why is this happening? Because groomers are made making the curriculum that's not hyperbole. The Human Rights Council is an LGBTQ plus all the other letters activist organization based here in California, founded in San Francisco. Their co founder seven years ago was arrested for pedophilia and charged. I believe he's in prison right now. They wrote California's sex ed Curriculum. It's people who look either kindly or desirous, desirously at sex with minors. It's a part of their culture there. That's a part of their culture, and so they have. If it feels like this is a grooming manual, it's because it is. Because the people who wrote this don't be anything wrong with adults and children having intimate relationships, even if it's not physical. It's not an accident. This is all on purpose. You're not crazy. I'm not crazy for saying it. I talked a little bit about this on the show. I'm going to release a just saying this week, a little bite sized clip of the show. I talked a little bit about this strategy of isolation that's being weaponized against us, us being the society at large, and this is what they do in the public school system. They isolate us from information and then they isolate us from each other. They isolate your children from you. Isolation is the first step to bondage. So the idea is to purposefully isolate you. You're getting isolated from the information right. You're not allowed to see this curriculum or know that you can opt out of it. You're getting isolated from your child. Your child is having intimate conversation with adults you don't know at school, and then they want to isolate the parents who complain, you're crazy. This isn't a this isn't in our curriculum. We want to know a secret about how the California Department of Education disguises horrible sex said lessons that you would never approve to be taught to your kindergartener by another adult. Things like masturbation. I'm not lying, I'm not making it up. I'm not using hyperbole, masturbation, anal intercourse. I'm trying to keep it PG here. Other sexual things that I can't mention because Darvil will have to put a warning on this show. Those things are available for the curriculum. Here's how the California Department of Education hides them. They're hidden under a tap called resource fits. So if you go to the lesson plans that are available, and they're not all available, and you look under the sex ed portion. It'll give you pretty much a basic overview of the philosophy of sex education, guard against team pregnancy and STDs and all of that, and there will be some LGBT all the other letters stuff on there, but it won't be stuff that's blatantly alarming. But then there'll be another tab under there and it will say other resources available to teachers, and it will take you off site, will take you off the Department of Education site to private sites like the Human Rights Council, where they have produced lesson plans for your children and conveniently have also packaged them in books and study plans and teach your plans and will conveniently send them to your classroom for free. They will provide all the materials for free for your entire classroom, for your entire school. And Human Rights Campaign is just one organization that does that. So when the parents go to the Department of Education and they say this is ridiculous, you should not be teaching kindergarteners about grinder, what the Department of Education says is we don't do that where do you see that lesson plan on this site. It's not on there. You guys are crazy. They isolate the information, and then they isolate you from your complaints, and then they when other parents complain, they say, oh, nobody else is complaining. I don't know what your problem is. This is a you problem. This is isolation. All of this is purposeful. COVID the pandemic measures all on purpose. Your churches were closed, but the strip club was open. Strip club's antisocial churches. Social isolation, isolating you from your neighbors, isolating you from your faith, isolating you from the permanent things in your life. Because when you're isolated from those, then you'll be able to look to government more, to be your God, to solve your problems, to fix things, and you'll be voting for it. And that's really what we're working against here, and that's why you have to fight against it. I want to explore this issue further, and I think, oh, well, I'll write it on my whiteboard, the issue of isolation and what it's doing to us, and the issue of the commercialization of isolation. The commercialization of isolation, because when I look on TikTok or Instagram, I'm flipping through those reels like everyone else does, and it almost seems like desirable or a fun or funny thing. It's very popular to make a video, a little clip talking about how, oh, I don't want you know, a little meme me me and my house coach telling people I'm going to go out, but really just singing in front of Netflix, or I hate people. Everyone says that and laughs at it, and I'm guilty. I'm not accusing anyone. I'm guilty, or just memes talking about how I don't want to go out and be with people and talk to people, and people are the problem. I'm just going to hold up here with my glass of wine and my cat and we laugh and we say yeah, ha ha ha. But it's actually a problem. We shouldn't be normalizing that type of behavior, and we certainly shouldn't be proud of it. Again, guilty, I'm just as guilty as anyone else. We shouldn't be proud of it because what we are doing is isolating ourselves, and we are not created for isolation, and the results of human isolation are never anything but absolutely terrifying and completely negative. Nothing good comes from isolation. Nothing. It's so bad. It's used as a form of punishment for very bad people, or for people who you want a torture, And so I don't think we should be making it a meme, and I don't think we should be making it something that we laugh about and cheer on and act like it's some kind of really great intelligent personality trait. It's not. But I won't, I won't, you know, beat this dead horse. I'll end this here, and I'll end this again with another round of apologies that I just couldn't understand the streaming technology. I mean, and I think I haven't figured out, but I just didn't have time to get it done in a manner that would make continuing the live stream a viable process. So again, my apologies for those who waited for the stream and it never came. I hope you'll give me another shot, but it doesn't matter. I'm still going to be on here talking because every time I try not to talk, I'll get I get frustrated, or I get frustrated with being so far behind the technology game, but I get more frustrated with not being able to say the things I want to say. So I'll just say what I want to say, leave the rest up to God. So I appreciate those who listen and tune in. My apologies again, and don't forget. If you want to chime in, you can hit me up at Jailty at ProtonMail dot com, jail t Y at ProtonMail dot com. And if you want to help me out with this kind of stuff, hit me up as well. And what else do I have to say? Oh, hit me up on Twitter at real Cura Davison join my substack. All right, everybody, until we meet it. Let me try that again until we meet again. Don't forget. Every once in a while, just stop and listen to yourself. Op praiders a masoda that we won't to say, then we won't to say, oh we got it? Does no one can dig that? Owen da It is gonna be okay, Opraiders as that we won't to say, then we won't to say, oh we got it? Does? No one cant dig that? Owen don't It's gonna be okay.
