very, very much. Thank you. What do you think, guys? We're finally here.

00:34

Here's the set next week. Good evening. Welcome, everybody, to the first episode of Next Week with Jeff Durbin.

00:41

I am Jeff Durbin, and this is the only Christian late -night talk show.

00:50

Therefore, guys, I'm actually excited to announce that only two minutes into the first episode, we are now the number one, the number one rated

00:59

Christian late -night talk show television show in history. All right, guys.

01:11

Thank you. Thank you. Couldn't have done it without you guys and, of course, the lack of Christian entertainment. Yeah. It's about time that a show like this exists, guys.

01:22

We are dealing with a lot of things today in our culture. We have the destruction of marriage, the murder of children in abortion, gender confusion.

01:31

I mean, it's obvious. Our nation has wandered far from Christ, but I don't want that for America. I don't want that for him, her, it, sir.

01:40

You get the point, right? Okay. Actually, if you're asking yourself, will this just be another cheesy show in Christian entertainment, the answer is no.

01:49

Every joke that we have is presented first in front of a group of well -trusted and trained pastors, and if they laugh, we rewrite the joke.

02:00

Now, because I'm mainly online, I face something that other late -night shows don't, immediate opinions on how much you hate me, which is why

02:09

I felt it necessary, of course, to address all of you on the internet. So please, guys, stop your meme sharing, your video commenting, and, of course, your catfishing just for a minute.

02:21

Thank you. Okay. Dear internet troll, yep, I'm talking to you. And now, look,

02:27

I know you said you'd never troll the internet, but let's face it, we've all become monsters, right?

02:33

The internet does that to you, right? If you were on Facebook during the presidential election and you didn't troll, that's because you have no fingers.

02:43

And if you just thought to yourself, wow, that joke is offensive to people with no fingers, that's even more proof that you are a troll.

02:53

Look, the reality is we've all said mean comments to people online, right? The internet does that to us.

02:58

It's a lot like filling out a restaurant survey and saying hurtful things about your waitress, except in this case, you weren't even given the survey and you wrote it on the waitress's

03:08

Instagram picture. Look, guys, I get it. I mean, look, we've all said mean things on the internet.

03:14

I've said mean things before, and sometimes I even make my own hurtful comments to myself. And some of the meanest things about me have been said from Jeff Durbin, unofficial.

03:24

It actually keeps me motivated. Look, I'm talking about the power to judge unfairly, and only our aunts and uncles on Thanksgiving Day should be given that power, right?

03:35

Look, today, we don't even read or watch anything the whole way through before we slip in our opinions. I mean, it makes sense, right, on YouTube, because you got to do something during all that buffering time, right?

03:47

But what happened to us before we used to be such sweet people? If we're walking in the park and someone tripped over a tree branch, we'd be like, oh, oh, are you okay?

03:55

Are you okay? Now we just say, get up, you hack. I already saw that today. And we posted in one of our fail videos, right?

04:04

Look, I'm just saying we've all become CNN to everyone's Donald Trump. And here's the thing.

04:11

I don't accept you to stop trolling. I don't expect you to do it. In fact, I actually look forward to it.

04:17

I love having something to read in the bathroom. Just ask my wife. But I do expect you to wait, just for a minute.

04:26

At least wait until the joke is done before you write one of the following comments. Dumb, or offensive, or Jeff, this is the library.

04:35

We've been trying to get a hold of you. Yo, it's $45 .50. Look, I guess my point here is this.

04:43

I got 30 minutes, and that should give you guys enough time to read the Bible about taking the plank out of your own eye first.

04:51

Sincerely, Jeff Durbin, unofficial. All right, guys, you want to do some news? Let's do some news, right?

05:00

On to what's been happening this week in the news. Donald Trump fired communications director

05:05

Anthony Scaramucci. Scaramucci, that's a good name, right? He'll join the others that left the

05:11

White House in the last six months. So we got Michael Flynn, you're fired. James Comey, you're fired.

05:17

Sean Spicer, may as well have been fired. They're all gone. And I don't want to guess this early, guys, but I actually think that Steve Bannon's going to win this season.

05:28

He's got my vote. I do. One of the things that may have got him fired was his crude language towards others in a

05:35

White House interview. And this was actually on the record. It really was. In fact, guys, we actually called him for a response.

05:43

And in this case, I actually think that he's sorry. He said the following to us. Hey, guys, Scaramucci here.

05:49

Look, I know I got fired, but let me just say... Last week,

05:59

President Trump announced via Twitter, actually, that he is reinstating the ban on transgenders in the military.

06:07

And people are actually most upset that Trump announced the ban on Twitter instead of a more presidential outlet.

06:14

Look, guys, we got Trump now. There are no presidential outlets. There's only what can be properly described as presidential drunk texting.

06:27

And sure, guys, look, the left is upset now. But I guarantee you the moment there's a draft, every one of those guys will be wearing fingernail polish.

06:37

Trust me. And do you guys see this, the Teen Vogue article?

06:43

You guys hear about that? Parents are outraged over a Teen Vogue article that teaches teenagers how to, and this is a

06:49

Christian show, but I'm going to say it because it's in the Bible, how to engage in sodomy. And trust me, this one was easy to find the butt of the joke.

06:59

It was. Now, look, guys, I am personally shocked, shocked that Teen Vogue would do something like this.

07:08

I mean, look, I look up to them so much. I mean, I can see why everyone's so shocked, though.

07:15

I mean, they're known for writing much more intelligent and esteemed articles. In fact, I was just reading the how streaking at summer camp helped me to love my body column.

07:28

And when asked how teenagers felt about this alarming article, teens across America answered, what are magazines, bro?

07:38

And you know, when I was a teenager, some of you guys know what I'm talking about. Articles like this didn't even exist.

07:44

They really didn't. Things have changed a lot. I mean, most of our columns were about how to drive, right?

07:50

Basically, we were taught not how to not rear end someone. You're welcome,

07:58

Teen Vogue. All right, guys, we've got a great show for you guys this week. We will be right back after this break.

08:04

Right here on Next Week with Jeff Durbin. Thank you, guys. Hey, guys, how's it going? I am Chris Weinland, and I am so excited to talk to you guys about Apologia All Access.

08:13

You're going to get full episodes, after shows, maybe me doing some crazy stuff.

08:19

Who knows? I think I learned how to do it. I learned how to hit the record button, put it in. They don't even know. I come here at night and do it, so it's going to be great.

08:26

It'll be on there. And you're also going to get Apologia Academy, and you do not want to miss any of those things.

08:32

I'm telling you, it's amazing. Not only that, but we've got a brand new website coming up, Apologia All Access website, and it's going to be fantastic.

08:40

I've already heard people talking about it, and it looks amazing. You have to join Apologia All Access. You do not want to miss that.

08:53

Welcome back to Next Week, guys. Here we go. Just like us, a lot of you guys, you love your coffee, right?

09:00

Everyone drink coffee? Otherwise known as Christian crack, right? So we wanted to share with you guys some of the great blends that we use right here at Apologia Studios.

09:11

So we have a blend of the week. Every week, we'll share with you guys what we like to drink, and this week's blend is called

09:17

Militant Atheists. Careful, this one's bitter.

09:28

That's really bitter. Speaking of bitter, guys,

09:33

I actually had something happen to me recently. A couple of months ago, the

09:38

New York Post released a video calling me an anti -abortionist hipster.

09:45

A hipster. A hipster. Like the people that wear beanies and do things before they're cool, right?

09:53

And the only way that title relates to me is that me trying to save babies still isn't cool. In fact, the whole video wasn't even focused on my stance for pro -life.

10:03

It was only focused on me being a hipster. Listen, New York Post, I'm okay with you calling me an anti -abortionist because I'm against abortion, the murder of children.

10:12

Absolutely. But why you gotta go and call me a hipster? Why you gotta bring skinny jeans into this?

10:20

It's got nothing to do with the actual argument. I mean, this just sounds like you have a crush on me. And you're just too awkward to say it, so you trolled me.

10:28

And to that, thank you. Seriously.

10:34

The New York Post had three main accusations about me. Number one, I look like I could be your barista.

10:40

And number two, I look like an everyday millennial. And number three, my church family gives their kids hipster names.

10:48

Problem is, none of these claims are even remotely true. They're as legitimate as saying almond milk is actual milk.

10:56

But almonds have nothing in common with a cow. You ever try cow tipping? That's fun.

11:02

You ever go almond tipping? You can't even tell which side is the bottom. And aside from that, there's no place on an almond to milk.

11:10

Trust me, I looked. Let's do this, guys. Call the order.

11:17

First accusation was that they said that I could be your local barista. But I couldn't be your local barista because unlike Starbucks, I don't try hard enough to mispronounce someone's name.

11:29

If that were the case, I wouldn't have called them the New York Post just now. I would have called them something more impressive, like actual news.

11:39

Or I'd give them a name like Grant. Grant just sounds like a more reliable source, doesn't it?

11:45

Right? Like, hey, I heard this thing about you from the New York Post. Meh, right? No. Or, hey,

11:52

I heard this thing about you from Grant. Really? I don't even know a

11:57

Grant, but I bet he did his research. They also said that I was an everyday millennial.

12:04

And the only problem is, I am not a millennial. And I will gladly, gladly listen to my walkman to prove the point.

12:22

You see, look. Proof. Proof. You can tell that I'm not a millennial because my technology just broke and I didn't call my daddy to buy me a new one.

12:33

And lastly, the New York Post said that my church, my church family gives all their kids hipster names.

12:40

Now, we can argue all day long as to whether Mackenzie is actually a hipster name, but I would say that it's not.

12:46

I once knew a lunch lady named Mackenzie, and the only thing hipster about her was that, like most hipsters, there was no meat in the food that she made.

12:57

And this, this is actually the problem with mainstream media. They manufacture articles by the minute without even checking their facts.

13:04

Now listen, media. Why don't we stop being lazy and stop lying? If I want to hear false statements,

13:10

I'll listen to Planned Parenthood talk about how they mostly do medical care. Why don't you do the same?

13:17

It's a lot more entertaining. Nevertheless, nevertheless, because I was called a hipster,

13:27

I decided to do some research. I wanted to answer two main questions.

13:33

Number one, how does one become a hipster? And number two, am I already a hipster?

13:39

Take a look. I'm on a hunt to find hipsters and ask them questions.

13:52

So I decided to start with the most hipster place that I know of, Starbucks. No, no, hold on, bro.

14:01

From another mo. I got that for you. Just one hipster helping out another hipster.

14:09

I got it. I got it. You're good. After 20 minutes of holding the door,

14:18

I realized these weren't the type of hipsters I was looking for. I need a real hipster to teach me all the ways of hipstering.

14:34

So I found a family that has their 28 -year -old son still living with them. His mom says that he is definitely a hipster.

14:40

He shows all the telltale signs. All the newest video games. Skinny jeans.

14:48

Probably the skinniest I ever seen. Look at that. He's been sleeping all day. It's 3 p .m.

14:54

right now. He hasn't moved a muscle. Look, Bernie Sanders.

15:20

Free college. It's Bernie. Whoa. We got free health care.

15:26

Wake up. We got day care for free. Free. Free money, kids. Dang it.

15:32

He's a tough one. Pennsylvania goes to Donald Trump. Donald Trump is the president of the

15:39

United States. Hi. I'm Jeff Durbin. Your mom said

15:45

I could be unsuccessful like you. Want to teach me? What? No. Wait.

15:51

I'll give you 20 bucks. Okay. You just learned the first lesson about nonconformists like this guy.

15:59

They'll lower their standards for anything. If I offered him a hug, he'd have taken it. Hey, I'm right here.

16:06

Second lesson. Get offended about the truth. Wow. Hey. I got you the typical hipster breakfast.

16:17

Panda puffs. Red bull. And I hear you people don't usually take what we call showers.

16:24

So I got you a hipster shower. You spray yourself off with Axe for about 10 minutes. I'll be back.

16:29

That's gluten free, by the way. And I noticed that my teacher has a different wardrobe than me.

16:45

Thankfully, we're close to the same size. Yeah.

16:56

That's not my sweater. I don't own a choker. That's a purse. You just walked out of my sister's closet.

17:07

You almost got me. Good. Good. Good. Hipster humor. We're about to go to the most hipster place this guy knows.

17:14

Coffee shop. And we're going to travel the only way this boyish man knows how. A bicycle.

17:24

Yeah, I'm just going to take a lift. We're standing outside of Cartel Coffee Labs, where many beatniks have been known to frequent.

17:32

Tommy here is going to get me whatever drink he gets. Whatever it is, I'm sure it's strange to the normal eye.

17:38

I just ordered a caramel latte. What? Seriously? You got to, look, if you're going to teach me the ways of the hipster, you got to get me the mad hipster drink.

17:48

Whatever it is. Give me give me all you got. Teach me your ways. I mean, there is one drink

17:55

I get. Great. Let's get it. Come on. Come on, Tommy. He just started calling me

18:03

Tommy. Never even asked me my name. This is better than beatnik or hipster.

18:23

What's that? That's your drink. That's three drinks. It's called a one in one.

18:31

It should be two drinks then. You're supposed to drink this espresso and a little bit of this kind of bubbly water.

18:39

OK, weird. To cleanse the palate. Right. And then this macchiato. And then you do it again.

18:47

Obviously, so. You weren't supposed to drink all of it, though.

18:54

Just sit. You're still drinking all of it.

19:00

You're not. That was.

19:06

Go, chief. Well, it's bitter.

19:13

Yeah. Yeah. You're never supposed to drink it that fast. That's supposed to take time. How long? I've seen it like a half an hour.

19:20

Is this going to hurt me? I have no idea. You drink this? No, I don't.

19:25

I've never had that. I just watch people drink it. Tommy surprised me.

19:32

He was the most hipster guy I'd ever met, and yet he wouldn't even try the drink of his people. It had me thinking, nobody calls themselves hipsters.

19:41

They only get called a hipster. What if there are no hipsters? What if anybody can be called a hipster?

19:47

Because hipsters don't actually exist. If that's the case, then none of us are hipsters and all of us are hipsters at the same time.

20:06

Pretty powerful stuff, right? Now, since I've been preparing for this show, I've watched a lot of videos that have stood out to me.

20:13

And one in particular has to do with the pro -choice argument. A video of Ben Shapiro arguing for pro -life got over 25 million views when he argued with a pro -abortion woman.

20:25

Now, most of the conversation had to do with transgenderism until it switched to the final question.

20:31

About your Planned Parenthood thing?

20:37

Oh, you mean his stance against murdering babies? Oh, yeah, that thing. Way to be so casual about such an important subject.

20:45

That's like when you belittle a comedian, right? Like, hey, what's that comedy thing you do, right?

20:51

You mean comedy? Yeah, that, right? But hey, look, let's not judge her knowledge based on the one statement.

20:57

I mean, maybe she has factual evidence for the things she says. Hey, I do care about the mother being poor.

21:02

I do care about foster care. Okay, but why would you have to pay for that, though? For what? Planned Parenthood is supposed to prevent abortions.

21:08

They are? I didn't know that. Maybe it's just so confusing due to,

21:14

I don't know, you know, all the abortions Planned Parenthood is actually giving? Supposed to doesn't mean anything.

21:20

Like, I'm supposed to pay for my own Netflix subscription. And yet, every night,

21:26

I have to explain to my in -laws that I'm not the dirtbag -watching undercover boss. And I am.

21:32

I am the dirtbag -watching undercover boss. But Ben Shapiro had an important correction to her statement.

21:39

Because, well, Planned Parenthood doesn't prevent abortions. They perform hundreds of thousands of abortions a year. They perform 300 ,000 abortions a year.

21:45

They're the leading abortion bill in the United States. Where is your evidence for that, though? That they perform 300 ,000 abortions a year?

21:51

From Planned Parenthood. That's my evidence. Where's your evidence?

21:58

From them. I mean, it's a known fact that they're murderers, and people still say that they don't have enough evidence.

22:05

I mean, that's unheard of. Someone that gets away with murder just because they're rich. This never happened before.

22:13

Strike that. Strike that. You see, Planned Parenthood is responsible for about 1 ,000 of the over 3 ,000 abortions that happen every single day in the

22:23

United States. Every single day. And even if you know common core math, I'll put it this way.

22:29

That's a lot. Planned Parenthood doesn't prevent abortions.

22:34

They are one of the leading causes of it. And you can't just say, where's your proof, when there is proof.

22:41

The only way that works is if you're a socialist that promises socialism works. Look, even if her statements were factual, which they're not, she has already lost the argument.

22:57

Look at this man. Look at this man. Anybody that's this intimidating with these caterpillar eyebrows has to know what he's talking about.

23:06

I mean, look at him. He's got two windshield wipers above his eyes, and he doesn't even use it. The guy doesn't even blink.

23:15

The only people in America who provide affordable birth control. You can go get a pack of condoms down at the local CVS for 12 bucks. Wow, this guy's doing an eye -staring contest with the woman that he's arguing with.

23:28

What kind of power trip is this? It's amazing. I mean, he's in two competitions at the very same time.

23:34

I mean, how much visine does it take to actually do that? How much did he take before he got up there? And then look at this.

23:40

Look at the woman. Now, mama always said, you can tell the truth about somebody by peering into the windows of their soul.

23:46

But this woman won't even let us look. She looks like my nine -year -old niece on an eye exam getting a glaucoma test.

24:01

Now, there's going to be a little puff of air, okay? Okay. We'll be right back, guys, with our first guest,

24:10

Marcus Pittman, the creator of the film, Babies Are Murdered Here. Stay with us right here on Next Week.

24:19

Everybody, welcome back.

24:54

Our first guest on Next Week is the executive producer and director at Apologia Studios.

25:00

He's also the creator of the film, Babies Are Murdered Here. It's a film that started a nationwide movement where Christians were going out to abortion clinics, saving lives, preaching the gospel, helping men and women.

25:12

It's actually a film that caused Planned Parenthood to engage in a national campaign. The film,

25:18

Babies Are Murdered Here, had a response from Planned Parenthood nationwide at their clinics. Health care happens here.

25:25

Please welcome to Next Week, Marcus Pittman. All right.

25:38

You know, I have to say, whoever produces this show is really good, because I'm a hard get.

25:44

You are. Yeah, because I'm busy during this time. Yeah, he's usually busy. That's right. That's right. So, Marcus, we met, it's been years now, when we first made contact with each other.

25:55

You're making amazing quality things. And it was the film, Babies Are Murdered Here, that actually was one of the catalysts to get

26:02

Apologia Church involved in ministry outside of abortion mills. Close to 100 babies saved just from Apologia Church since that time.

26:11

Hundreds, if not thousands now, nationwide through the ministry. So tell us about Babies Are Murdered Here, your vision for that project.

26:17

How did it start? I just needed something to work on. Okay. So, but no, what happened was

26:24

I was actually flown out to John Speed's church in New York.

26:30

Okay. Because they were filming, they wanted me to film a video for their church. But they made the mistake of getting a plane ticket

26:37

Sunday at 8 a .m. instead of Sunday at 8 p .m. So I wasn't able to film their church service.

26:45

So we decided we needed to film something else. So we went to the abortion clinic.

26:52

And the night before we went to the abortion clinic, this guy named Robert Gray, he went to the dollar store and he got a dollar piece of foam core and a dollar pack, two pack of one red, one black markers.

27:03

And he made this sign that said, Babies Are Murdered Here. And I was like, it just really struck me. I didn't know why.

27:08

It just did. Yeah. And when he was holding it up at the abortion clinic the next day, I was like, man, there's a movie here.

27:16

And so we made a trailer out of that trip. And we raised only like, we only raised like maybe less than $5 ,000.

27:22

And I just took all the money and just traveled where I could. And just from the trailer, there wasn't even a movie.

27:27

From the trailer, people started putting these signs that said, Babies Are Murdered Here out at every single clinic, like all across the country.

27:35

Yeah. And so the movie became about the movement of people, just the importance of using the word murder and the impact that it has when fighting abortion.

27:43

Why is that important, though? Because we talk about the issue. People talk about the pro -life movement since Roe versus Wade.

27:50

We have a basic understanding of what it means to be pro -life, at least from a political perspective, in terms of what people vote for.

27:56

But you chose to highlight the word murder. Why is that important in this movement? Because the pro -life movement doesn't use that word.

28:06

And that's what we found out when we were filming. We went to the National Right to Life, and we interviewed kids and adults, mostly all

28:14

Roman Catholics. And they would not call a woman who has an abortion a murderer.

28:20

And it was shocking because it's like, well, why are you fighting to outlaw something that you don't think is a crime? So it was just really shocking.

28:27

And then the more we dove in, the more we realized how deep it is through the National Right to Life.

28:33

And we're actually going to be releasing some videos that really show from the president of the National Right to Life soon that they will not call a woman who has an abortion a murderer.

28:44

Well, and Marcus, explain to everyone why that's a problem, though. Why is it a problem if, say, someone just wants to say it's a bad thing, we don't want it anymore, versus saying this is murder?

28:57

What's the issue behind needing to use that word murder? Because the lawmakers aren't going to take such a controversial position on something that the leaders of the movement don't believe is wicked in and of itself, enough to call it that.

29:14

So they obviously do believe that it is murder. With the abortionists. With the abortionists, but they will not say that the woman who has an abortion tomorrow, when she has an abortion, she's committed murder.

29:28

Now, if she hasn't committed murder and is the abortionist, then what she's doing is illegal and we shouldn't fight for it.

29:34

It doesn't make any sense. And so, yeah. So why do you think that that's ultimately a failure in terms of trajectory here where we're aimed at as Christians who are trying to end abortion?

29:48

Why is it a failure to avoid using the term murder? Because I know what people say. Just real fast. Think about what you're going to say.

29:54

People are going to say, Marcus, yeah, but we're Christians. We want the woman to be forgiven and be given mercy. We don't want to stand outside of abortion mills and just yell, you're a murderer, which is not exactly how that's done anyways.

30:05

But why is it such a failure? Well, when we don't use the term murder, we're not preaching the gospel to them.

30:16

So if we were to say that you're not being loving or kind when you call them a murderer.

30:22

First off, we don't call them murderers. We say you're going to murder your child. And if they come out of the clinic, we say you've murdered your child, but there's hope and forgiveness.

30:30

So we don't say murderer, murderer, like before they've done a crime. But it's more about the act that they're doing and the criminal aspects of it.

30:39

And it's also about showing their sin and so they know what they need to repent of. That's important too.

30:44

So we would say that the pro -life movement has failed fundamentally to be rooted in a biblical worldview, the scriptures.

30:53

It's failed to be consistent as Christian. And you highlight a very important point.

31:00

If we don't call it murder, then what are they repenting of? Right. And so let's talk about the movie though.

31:06

When the movie comes out, what sort of impact did it have across the country? What happened? Yeah. So first off, people everywhere were like going out to the abortion clinic for the first time because the sign babies are murdered here isn't really anything, but it's a symbol because of how simple it was to make.

31:25

You didn't have to pay a hundred dollars to get a printed sign. You could just grab two markers and you could make that sign.

31:30

And so people realized, oh, I could just go out there and just do it. And so people started going out all over the country, holding those signs.

31:38

And the crazy thing is like the amount of views on YouTube, it's only has a hundred thousand views. So it hasn't been like a viral success or anything crazy, but those 100 ,000 views has so impacted the work in front of Planned Parenthood that women have now, that Planned Parenthood has spent money in a marketing campaign in response that says health care happens here.

32:01

Yeah. So, so it's made an impact enough that they're trying to change the conversation, which we created.

32:09

So that's it. You started a conversation outside of abortion clinics across the country that forced

32:15

Planned Parenthood to respond, to respond to your argument. And you did it for about $5 ,000. Now let's talk about that though,

32:20

Marcus. So why, why would you say it's important? Because people would criticize you, Marcus.

32:26

They would criticize us saying, you're doing something that is provocative, right?

32:31

It's provocative. The show? The show, everything we do. They'll say, you know, you're provocative.

32:36

You're just doing things that are provocative. And maybe they'll say, you're just being mean -spirited. It's not how you love those women, right? Why do you think as a

32:43

Christian, why is it important to, as you say, change the conversation, to engage these cultural issues?

32:49

Why, why bother? It's important because Christians are supposed to be cultural, culture makers.

32:59

Okay. So we're supposed to be the ones who are controlling the conversation of the nation.

33:05

So we see that with like the Black Robe Regiment and like for the Revolutionary War, the Presbyterian ministers were the ones that were actually discussing politics to such a degree from the pulpit that it forced, it encouraged everybody to go to war.

33:26

And that was, this is worth dying for. These are biblical issues. These are biblical principles that are worth dying for. And so that was the, you know, the mainstream conversation of that day was very political in nature.

33:38

And we get a little Martin Luther. He used the printing press, which was a form of media that was able to stand out.

33:46

He actually branded his books in such a way that he was able to stand out from Catholic books. So if you walked into a bookstore and you looked at the shelf, you would go, oh, that's

33:54

Martin Luther's books. You can tell by the color and the print and everything like right away. So he was very influential in branding and marketing.

34:01

So all that stuff matters. That's important, branding and marketing and having a symbol to fight against.

34:08

You know, Donald Trump, as we were talking about today, Donald Trump is really good about having a symbol to fight against, whether it's

34:13

Crooked Hillary or Lying Ted. So like he makes a symbol, you know, fake news.

34:22

Like that's a symbol. There's no political symbol out there bigger than that in the past 50 years.

34:31

So he was a genius in that symbol to fight against. Yeah, he's he's he he

34:37

I think he plays dumb. I think he does. But he has a very, very, you don't get a billion dollars by being dumb.

34:43

You brought something for us, though, right? I did a show for everyone. OK, well, tell us what this is. So this actually was found in John Speed's attic, and it is the very first original

34:56

Babies Are Murdered Here sign. So we're going to hang this in the studio.

35:05

So it'll be part of the studio tour right on. So hold that.

35:11

Praise God. Thank you, Marcus. And I think one of the powerful things as we finish up this segment here, guys, is one of the powerful things is because of little moments of faithfulness like this, you put this thing out, you don't know what

35:23

God has in store for it. We're sitting here today in the studio with this show and the heartbeat of this show.

35:28

Every show is deploying Christians across the country to end abortion now dot com to get involved in the conversation and to bring the good news into this area of abortion.

35:37

Right. That's the heartbeat. And it all started from an act of faithfulness. Yeah. Making a film and a simple sign.

35:43

Yeah. And God's changing the world. Yeah. So. All right. So Marcus Pittman, executive producer and director right here at Apologia Studios, we'll be right back on next week.
