The Shadow That Follows Liberalism

Opening Monologue on Cultural Change, Technology, and Social Fracture

We are now live on the conversations that matter podcast starting a little bit early. I have a good reason for it though. And some of you who do smoking will understand. This is my app. Let's see if I can get the camera to focus on it.

I can't. It won't focus on it. All right. Well, oh, there you go. So I have my my new Thermometers out there in my smoker one's in the meat one is in the smoker itself. And as you can see the smokers at 230 degrees the meat I have a shoulder of pulled pork.

It's going to be pulled pork at 190 when it gets to 200. I'm taking it out and i'm eating it and It's been smoking for well, it's not smoking now, but I started the process though of smoking it last night at about 9 30 so it has been slow cooking now for hours and uh I had to get up in the middle of the night that a rainstorm came and I I thought oh no.

Oh, no, it's gonna flood my uh smoker. I've never had that before since i'm so new to this, uh, but it was fine. It just cooled it off for a little bit. And uh, anyway, i'm looking forward to that. And I I was in this kind of catch -22 of like do I take it out now?

Or do I wait so i'm gonna do the podcast and then i'm gonna go eat my pulled pork. So it doesn't get better than that, right? Hope you all have some pulled pork or something good to eat Today it is a where we are starting the weekend pretty soon.

Uh, nathan phillips is on. Hey nathan. How you doing? Um. Uh, it looks like other people are coming on as well. Valerie parker. Hey valerie. Good to see you as well today uh, we have a lot to talk about guys and um, I think I just want to say to begin with that.

We don't seem to be exiting a time of transition in other words things don't seem to be settling down and changing and I Guess that's what life's like in general. There's always going to be change and flux, right?

Some things remain the same but a lot of things change. And more so I think with the technological advances the globalist Markets world market that we have the people moving all over the place. There's just a lot of changes a lot of disruption.

It hasn't actually all been good. Uh, there there are some blessings we can point to in technology. Sure. Uh, absolutely uh, in fact, there's amazing things i'm just amazing that uh, some of the Solutions that the doctors have come up with to help couples who are infertile.

Or not infertile, but but having issues in that area I mean, that's one of the things that i've uh, I didn't know much about and i'm learning more about that. That's amazing. That's that's technology.

That's the grace of god using the the if you do it the right way that god has ordained it to be done um using uh his the stuff in the created world for the betterment of mankind. Because mankind is precious right but at the same time we know that to just pick this one example the devastating uh impact that uh things like mass in vitro fertilization, for example are having a surrogacy and so I mean Uh, if you could push a button and make it all go away I don't know any of us who probably wouldn't do that just because of the The effects of it the impact of it how people are using it.

Um how it's Allowing people to Think about the process of having a child. This is only one one little thing. It's a big thing. I mean, it's a it's a big thing in the sense of priority but it's only one thing in the grand scheme of all the things that are changing and um, and so one of the things that I see changing out there that's causing some Either growing pains or I don't I don't really know what to call it.

Maybe we'll just call it that is that There are christians and there are conservatives and there's overlap between these groups for good reason. That are turning to unconventional Approaches to politics they're considering things.

They had never considered before they're thinking through where we went wrong. Right, they're looking at what we've been doing for the past few decades and they're saying it isn't working. Why isn't it working?

Let's go back to the drawing board. What did our grandfathers and our great grandfathers and people before them think that we don't think anymore that we reject. Maybe they had something right we have wrong.

These are all I think very fair things to consider, but it's happening at. Since 2020 especially at a fast pace accelerating, uh, especially I saw a poll the other day that generation z the males that are 18 that are exiting high school in generation z Are more conservative than I think since they've been doing polls, uh, at least they identify that way now that's pretty incredible because generation z is overwhelmingly, uh like I I don't even know if liberal is the word.

I mean, they're crazy, right? Some of them think they're cats. I mean, it's nuts but you have A huge fracturing there are some people that are revolting against that and it's not just a mild revolt. It's not just a uh quest for moderation and let's Excise the craziness.

It's more of a complete and thorough rejection and then trying to embrace something that's more solid. I see this in so many areas. I see this in churches. I see this with friends who reach out to me I've had this a number of times and say um, and some of you might be surprised by this but even uh baptists.

Saying things like what about the catholic church? What about the eastern orthodox church? Why are these questions even being asked? I I look behind it. I don't just condemn them right away and say well, you know, you're looking at these options because you don't Know theology.

Yeah, they could be that they don't they're not thinking through things theologically and I do try to. Um, I have protestant convictions. What can I say? I have catholic friends, but I have protestant convictions and I will go back to the council of trend I will try to show the things that I think are uh out of out of step with christian tradition even and how uh, Rome got off the track and they're still off the track on many things and one of the main things of course is uh, the infused the idea of infused righteousness being something for um justification.

And and so anyway, I I go through all that but when people ask these questions, I don't immediately condemn them. Because I know what's happening. They are seeing fractures everywhere. They're uh, They feel condemned and betrayed by their own leaders.

They want something solid and it feels like an evangelicalism that reinvents itself every 10 years. Isn't that? There's just a number of things happening and on the political front the same thing people are starting to question, you know is You know the whole america Proposition nation rah rah rah freedom thing.

Is that actually even real? What are we fighting for? What are we trying to preserve? I mean if it's just freedom, I mean now people are saying freedom is Grooming kids at a library. I didn't sign up for that.

My grandfather didn't fight in world war ii for that right? This is what people are starting to to ask they're starting to wonder about what kind of freedom um. What is a nation? I didn't you as soon as soon as someone sets foot across the border.

Are they now? My kindred that I am supposed to Think of on the same in the same ways and sacrifice the same way for. That I would for my neighbor who's been here for generations and i've been these are real questions these are real questions.

And we need to I think be clear about them as much as we possibly can we need to think through them. We need to be brave enough to ask questions that are even politically incorrect and we need to be brave enough to provide answers uh, and I'm, i'm a guy who uh, i'm more comfortable when I get into the territory i'm about to get into.

Everyone's waiting. It's gonna get zesty perhaps but I like doing it in a podcast form more because It is easier on twitter for people man. There's a lot of just people on twitter and social media in general who have hard reading comprehension skills.

Uh, I can give you examples from the last week even high profile people. They just really don't have good reading comprehension skills and if I can take the time to to talk about some of the things we're going to talk about today and do so hopefully in a rational way.

Uh, it went where hopefully, uh,. Many of you are lighting up the chat board here I can answer questions in real time and we can we can make some progress on some of these questions. So, uh, we're not going to talk about some of the things that we could we could talk about.

Uh, uh, some of the concerns I suppose I have because I do have concerns about. Where younger conservatives are going? Um, but I'll tell you what my concerns for. My concerns about gatekeeping far excel the concerns I have for young conservatives.

In fact, i'm very encouraged by young conservatives right now and young christians who are starting to think outside the box more. Because we have been in a death spiral. We have been doing things wrong.

Something isn't working. That's very true and Some of them are coming to conclusions like monarchy might be the best thing on a political level for our government. Maybe the constitution uh I don't know of many that are going this direction, but I know in specifically monarchy.

But I know there is kind of this totalitarian ish bent that people are starting to observe and they're saying there's younger conservatives that. They don't seem afraid of big government. They want to control big government.

They want to use big government. And and do I have a concern about that? Sure. I do. I mean i'm glad here's the thing that encourages me. I'm glad that they want power in a way because we conservatives need like christians need to not be allergic to power.

Because that actually is loving your neighbor when we wield power correctly the way god has intended however, um, if you look at the history of the united states every time I I think without exception every time there's centralization just about.

Uh, it is a leftist innovation that gets forwarded in that move. Leftists are the ones that control this, you know, what do you think you're gonna do when we make let's make the government big. Let's let's get someone in there.

Who's uh, even the protestant franco thing like I get it. I understand it but there is. Um, there is danger to this. This this is something that we can't we can't be unaware of the dangers associated with that.

Do you have someone that comes in and says i'm just going to clean house law and order? I mean, I think that's inevitable. That that's part of the thing like if we keep going in this immoral direction, that is inevitable.

It's going to happen on some level because people are going to demand order. You can't have a society that has no order and if it's not going to come naturally. Through shared trust and the bonds that we'll talk about later a little bit, uh that foster that then it will be totalitarian.

I don't want that. You don't want that. No one really I think wants that hardly. I mean except some people we really don't trust some rich men north of richmond. But there are conservatives now thinking that's what we need to do.

I get it. I get it. And when it happens, I mean it's like being against the weather I suppose I mean if it's if it's going to happen, hey, I'd want it to be someone who is godly. I want it to be someone who cares about the people they're serving that would be my preference, but.

What i'd like more is to get back to some federalism some real federalism where states are. Really the sovereign entities they should be. That's and of course that puts me on the opposite end of the spectrum.

But i'm looking at all these approaches in some ways the problem. I just brought up, uh reminds me of. The people who really have a fascination with the spanish civil war versus the people that have a fascination with the american civil War because if you have a fascination with the spanish civil war as a conservative you tend to think More in totalitarian terms and I think the conditions possibly are different.

I haven't studied it in depth, but Um, you had a window of opportunity when franco, uh took power. He kind of beat the communists to the punch. Uh, he was I think we're we passed that point. So who what general in the military today?

I mean look at the generals in our military has can command that loyalty has that kind of uh, Respect and the ability it's just the military has been too uh. Infiltrated by leftists and and I know this firsthand i've heard some horror stories lately from people.

I know who are in there so um. The people then that think of the american civil war more they studied that who are conservatives they tend to be more suspicious of centralization and. But but here's the deal.

We've just been centralizing more and more and more throughout the entire country's history, right? We just have so um, so we're going to talk today without without much further ado, uh about Some hot button topics.

We're going to talk a little bit about I guess race if you want to put it that way we're going to talk about uh nations nationality culture. We talked about this stuff before but um, there's some controversy online about it and I think we need to address it.

I I just I sensed this the last two days. I need to do another episode and just talk about these things more. And we it's going to be a long episode. Okay, it's going to be long um. We need to also talk about sexuality a bit.

We need to talk about where conservatives are going when it comes to Sexual ethics because I do not like what i'm seeing from the gatekeeping conservatives from younger conservatives, uh I'm encouraged but the question is will that power be transferred from the gatekeepers to the younger conservatives who?

Are seeing things more clearly and and some of them have they've been ravaged by the consequences of divorce. And all the the sexual anarchy, um, some of them being raised by lesbian parents and so they see it differently.

They they've they're victims of it to an extent and so they want that traditional. I mean Some people mock the trad wives thing and I I get why some people mock it. There's some some things people say some things online.

Sometimes I just scratch my head and I think why would you say that? Like um. It's it's just it. It's people who are trying to rediscover the fact that men are the leaders and have headship and Men should be taking political power not women.

That's not they're not suited for that because that's that's uh. Par it's really what commands warfare. You're not directly involved, but you're indirectly involved. I mean people are coming to these conclusions, but then they're taking things to um.

Places that they don't need to take them. But I understand why they're doing it. I understand and that's my first goal. And that should be I think all of our first goal is to understand understand the greater context understand what's happening.

And understand where the evil really is out there and before you get too offended um encourage the good and I would say this even about some of the I guess not not the hard-woke people, but some of the people who are ignorantly woke I would say even then you can look at some of their desires to Make sure that things are just in their conception of justice and you'd say there might be a good motive on some of these guys.

Right now as you get hardened and more into it. Not so much, but at least initially you can see that and and I would say even then try to understand. So that this is what the podcast is going to be about today.

All right. So, uh I guess we have someone who's is catholic in the channel. I don't know brethren. Please turn from the folly of protestantism man, not not the day-to-day for me to get into that. Um, but I I am a protestant you are listening to a protestant podcast.

I I hate to break it to you jacob um, so yeah, I mean it's uh, Protestants believe that I mean Traditionally at least we believe that Protestantism is not so much of an ism as it is a reclaiming of uh, the The one holy true catholic church away from errors that took centuries to form um, but anyway, uh.

Other folks in the chat a lot of you. Hey, brian babes is in the chat. Good to see you. Good to see you violet. Um, well, let me uh quickly. Stress on the quickly here just make a little announcement.

And then we're going to get into the material. Um, we do have a men's retreat coming up and i'm speaking at it number of uh, really great guys. One of them is andrew rapaport. I want to play for you. This is a promotional video.

This might be one of my longer episodes for a while uh, and it's it there's more than one story I suppose going on here, so um. There's i'm trying to bring together a bunch of things I think they all fit together but uh, The best starting point is something that happened early last week uh with uh, charlie kirk defending matt walsh actually, it's really what matt walsh said.

I just had the charlie kirk defense here. Um, I should probably acknowledge though since i'm at the beginning of this someone in the chat did say for 9 .99 I I have no idea how modern evangelicals can critique the anabaptists at least the amish are self-governed and preserve their people land and faith.

Modern eva is just pietistic pacifism with no benefits now I I will say this about uh, the the amish. They they're older. That's that's one of the things they have because of their lifestyle. They've held on to some older ideas and ways of life.

Uh that we've in the modern world just rejected and because of that I mean this was common to everyone at one time, but the amish have just been holdouts so, um, yeah, they've certainly preserved their way of life better than um, I mean you can see this with with jewish people too and we're going to get into that hopefully a little bit today on um.

They weren't supposed to be an empire. They were supposed to just Work their land. In fact, the generational laws only applied to jews, you know Foreigners couldn't come in and just take their land. I mean they had specific laws that favored them uh, and so, um, they were able to and they have been even in other places they've been able to keep their Identity so, um, anyway, good good point.

Uh, the amish I hadn't thought of it, but the amish really I guess are a parallel of that. Okay. Well, let's talk about this. Uh, so what did matt walsh say? What did matt walsh say? Well, um According to charlie kirk mash matt walsh said nothing wrong.

Now. This is evidence that things are changing even in conservatism. Okay um Matt walsh basically and i'm not going to play for you the audio because this will be a three hour podcast if I play everything.

Uh, basically what matt walsh did is he said that um We should try to preserve Anglo-protestantism in the united states that that would be a good thing to do uh, and he said this because uh, primarily They're the culture of anglo-protestantism is what america foundationally is really that that's what our founding documents and Are just our mores our laws our customs all are based upon this shared culture.

Now there's people that the proposition nation people disagree with this which is why i'm glad matt walsh I don't know if matt walsh is a prop nation guy to be honest with you for those who don't know what that is.

That's fine. I talk about it a little bit In christianity and social justice and I uh, we'll talk about a whole lot more in the next book I'm writing currently which hopefully I can get out before christmas so everyone can get it.

But uh, but anyway matt walsh Seems to think that there is a connection between uh between ethnicity lineage shared ancestry, right and Uh traditions culture, etc that there is a connection there now before like, I don't know 1965 19 maybe even later than that before 1975.

This was just kind of a like no duh, like everyone knew that. Everyone thought that uh, no one. No one would have really challenged that not any serious person at least but today things have flipped completely.

Okay? Uh you. You aren't even allowed to if it's if it's a european western culture of any kind you are not allowed to um, let them think of themselves in those ways of that they have a culture that can that that is unique to their lineage that uh to be part of um.

Having that lineage is at least an added benefit it is. You're much more likely to hold on to that culture if you have that lineage in other words um now some will go farther and they'll say that. Basically, the two are the same um, some some are genetic determinists some you know scientific, uh, Racist someone someone would call them that's and i'm not that and I don't think most conservatives are that there but there are people like that there have been in history because.

Because what they're trying to do is they're trying to account for the differences between different people groups. Especially in the 1600s when you see the term race develop. It's because you have explorers going out.

They're looking at these foreign places and they're saying they're so different. What what do we make of this? How come europeans are so different than these people and most of the time it was uh, we have uh technological advancements we have art we have Culture we have they would call it civility.

We have civilization and these places seem primitive or immoral uh, there's all kinds of practices like polygamy and uh, even even slavery to some extent, uh, and um, you know burning burning, uh. People like in india there were there I think it was burning I forget what it was widows or something and the british came in and said stop this.

But anyway, there were all these differences. And and so people had to account for them. So there's some people when darwin, you know came out with his book that was one of the explanations, but That's certainly not everyone that's not even that's not most people who have just noticed there are differences between people.

We all know this we all know this at some level. But we're not it's at a gut level. We're not really allowed to articulate it at least when it comes to western civilization and european cultures in any Public forum without getting pushback.

That's just what it seems to be and so, um. So if you just see even a parallel there and say look. People who grow up in this particular area with these this shared lineage because they're part of an extended family.

That's what a nation is really. They tend to think in certain ways that have been molded through generations of time laws shared experiences in history. Our own constitution is to ourselves and our posterity.

What does that mean the children the and the lineage the Descendants of those who erected the constitution doesn't mean that others can't participate in the blessings. But that's that's what it was there for according to them.

Okay, so this shouldn't be controversial. I guess is what i'm trying to say, but it is but charlie kirk charlie kirk at one time Uh said, um, there's a quote. I don't have the full quote in front of me.

I guess I remember this particular event though where charlie kirk basically said Uh, hey, there's there's nothing inherently Race or ethnicity or religion like none of that. Um. Has anything to do with being an american, right?

So even protestantism um, and this of course you can be american and not be protestant, but you would be the idea here is like to say that America isn't a protestant nation historically and that that makes its way into their laws and customs.

Uh is foolish it is on a certain level. It's not like every person has to be a protestant. But if you have a certain number of people that come in let's say and they're not protestants and it overturns the majority who have a protestant background or heritage then.

You don't have the same nation necessarily the same thing. Would apply with immigrant groups from other places if you have too many people coming across the southern border. And going into places and everyone on the border knows this texas, arizona, new mexico, california.

That's where i'm from originally. It is not the same los angeles. It used to be okay. Now that's just reality because there are people coming in that have that are of a different Uh race or a different family if you want to think of it that way in a different extended family.

And that comes with a bunch of things it tends to parallel. They have a different language. They communicate in they have a different religion. They mostly tend to be catholic. Uh, whereas uh before I mean california was always kind of a hodgepodge, but it was more protestant at one time at least um, you have uh I mean, there's there's tons of things there's cuisine.

There's there's tons of things. I'm not saying it's all bad either. I'm, just saying that that that is reality and we just need to acknowledge I think reality before we can even approach these issues.

Uh when we acknowledge reality, I think it makes it a whole lot easier. So if that's a stumbling block for you already and you're already disagreeing. Um, maybe maybe a good place to start was go watch the video.

I did maybe what three months ago. Uh four months ago on what is a nation? I think that was the title What is a nation according to scripture and I just go through bible verse after bible verse and I talk about what a nation is.

Okay, so charlie kirk going back to charlie kirk and my whole point with this is that at one time. He just said america was basically embracing certain ideas. That's all it was. So it's a proposition nation.

Now he's defending mount walsh. And saying well there is a tie there. Of course. There's a tie between lineage and culture. That is different guys. That is a change. That is a sea change. And this is making some people nervous uh, this is making people nervous who uh, it's making the nazi hunter types nervous because they see.

They they kind of see nazism everywhere and and anyone who like loves their people or place is is a nazi it's not the conservative critique used to be. The problem with nazism primarily is it's ideological it makes it's like the proposition nation stuff.

It makes the nazi. It makes the state into the nation. It makes the the totalitarian government into One in the same with the nation. And and that's the primary problem with it uh, and and so it's uh, it can do things it overrides local municipalities and local customs and it just Forces its will it's a religion really at the end of the day.

That's been the critique well now the critique even in quote-unquote conservative circles has been. And you love your people and your place too much. You know. Not the donald trump thing because that's what donald trump did he loved the people.

And he loved the land and he wanted a wall to keep others out because it was having a negative effect. Uh, that's why he didn't he doesn't want uh, the money going to ukraine. It's because it's that whole america first thing, right?

That's why people didn't like them. Liberals at least it's one of the big reasons so anyway, um going back to uh, this this whole issue in walks, uh, owen strown into this. Now owen strand is um for those who don't know.

He wrote a book. Uh, I don't know two years ago three years ago called christianity and wokeness and um, i've Been familiar with owen's work at least I don't know since 2018 or 19 in 2018 though and and prior to that owen Said some pretty woke things.

And um, I I gave some of I have some of that information on my hard drive we're not going to go over it today, but I gave it to ad robles just because I was like Uh, maybe this makes sense of some of the things that he was doing a few months ago and ad did a whole podcast on if you want to go see ad robles on this but.

But that was which is fine I defended owen on this podcast because people went after him liberals progressives went after him and said owen used to be with us. What happened? He just wants power and I said people change their mind.

Now owen's never acknowledged this as far as I know publicly or talked about it. But I just assumed okay people change their mind it's okay to change your mind we all do it. Uh, and hopefully, you know that that was what was happening.

In fact, I emailed owen. Um, In like 2020 maybe and just said I appreciate what you're doing. You're you're trying to go after this stuff and not many are and I remember at the time it was hard to stand against that in some ways it was.

Uh, and you know, I wish you know, there are things I wish he would have done name names more. Uh, like the name's actually in his circles like southern baptists and he just it seemed he seemed kind of reluctant to do that.

And it's like okay, but he's doing something and and that's really what I I felt at the time I still feel that to some extent like if you're doing something to help push the needle I'm, not gonna like rain on that parade or critique you too much but now um Owen and and I would say more broadly speaking some of the people who tend to run the g3 not the speakers at g3 I'm saying I would encourage everyone.

Who uh who isn't coming to the men's conference because apparently the weekend's conflict I didn't realize that when I was scheduling it, but everyone who's coming going to g3 to go Uh and enjoy it and have a great time and i'm not not many hard feelings there.

But I I just know that the way that um people Like myself even have been treated and i'll just use myself as the example. Has been frankly rude in my opinion. It's been rude. And I haven't been as transparent but i'm starting to wonder if I should be more transparent with things that that exchanges behind the scenes and um.

And the attack has been and this is public. So people have seen it has been uh, some of the people who run g3 against uh christian nationalists or culture people who want cultural christianity and it's been a It's been a lot of straw manning.

It's been a lot of like uh Painting positions in such a way that that is just inaccurate. Um, I I don't even know like what I believe hardly resembles What some of those guys think? I people like myself believe like it's not um It it isn't this integralism.

It isn't Uh a watering down of the gospel and a political gospel. It's not um It it's it's not like a it's not nazi-esque or or fascistic or any. Of that kind of stuff. It's not a lot of the things that are being attributed to it.

I'm, just like that's not it's just not a fair dialogue and and I and i've invited that i've wanted that I know others who have really tried to say can we get together? I I I know guys who have had longer conversations with owen about this kind of stuff and I just i'm sad to report to you.

We haven't been able to get anywhere and it's just ought not to be with christians in my opinion um, I would love to have some public exchanges, I think that would edify the body, but that's. It's not happening.

And so um because it's not happening when when attacked. We're kind of forced to respond publicly when attacked publicly. We have to kind of respond publicly and so that's part of what i'm doing, but The greater goal here is to help everyone think through the common sense.

Hopefully common sense that we talked about at the beginning of this podcast and apply it to this particular situation. So um, here's some tweets from owen strachan, uh on. Uh, this was over the august 17th.

I think these are all from august 17th. He wrote a blog first of all and he talked about matt walsh in that blog. And i'm not going to go through it. It's long. Um I I think it was poorly written in my opinion.

It was poorly argued. I should say not poorly written but poorly argued. Um, but he put out a bunch of tweets that were even more flame throwing. So he said if your pastor has been radicalized and now preaches paranoia and a false gospel of ethnocentric nationalism and graciously raise.

You need to pray and speak to him and graciously raise major concerns. It may be time to find a new church home because the pulpit is no place for fear mongers. Which of course we agree with that but who's doing it is the question.
