Hello everybody, welcome to this very important special broadcast for End Abortion Now.

00:07

If you would, would you share this broadcast with as many people as you can? What we have to talk about right now is actually very, very important.

00:16

It's a pretty serious situation in terms of our ability to communicate the gospel, to speak to the church in Ireland, to provide support.

00:28

It doesn't just go to Ireland. It goes to, of course, the United States of America as well. So let's introduce everybody to what's going on.

00:35

I'll let you start. Well, Ireland has proposed an amendment to repeal the

00:44

Eighth Amendment, which would protect life in Ireland. They've had it on the books for a while as a constitutional amendment, and now they're trying to take it down.

00:52

And there's an election coming May 25th. And there's several, well,

00:58

I mean, the two big ones, Google and Facebook have placed restrictions on advertising and promoting any sort of information for the people to make an informed decision to vote.

01:12

That's right. So the Eighth Amendment in Ireland, we're talking about Southern Ireland here, is an amendment that equalizes the life of the unborn child with the life of the mother.

01:22

So in North and South right now, Ireland, abortion is a crime. It's illegal. They see it as a crime, and it's a 14 -year prison sentence if you actually get an abortion.

01:33

So the repeal the Eighth Movement in Southern Ireland is looking to repeal the

01:38

Eighth Amendment to make abortion legal in Southern Ireland. So you guys may have seen the documentary that Marcus put together called

01:46

Losing Ireland. It's up at Apologia Studios' page on YouTube. I also believe it's here on Apologia Studios on Facebook as well.

01:54

So we've been to Ireland to provide support to the church out there twice now.

01:59

This actually gets us right into why this is concerning. We are just about to drop the next documentary.

02:06

It's called Saving Ireland. It's almost finished, and I do hope that we can have it out for you guys by next week.

02:12

So this directly impacts our ability to communicate. Well, let's talk about why boosting's important.

02:19

Okay. People probably don't even know what that means. What is boosting? So Facebook limits how many people view your content based on its algorithm.

02:29

So if you share something and it's not popular, Facebook doesn't give it to other people because Facebook's value is found in providing the content that its users want.

02:43

So one of the ways it regulates that is by its algorithm.

02:49

So it determines, wow, this post has this many likes and this many shares and a lot of comments and a lot of angry faces or happy faces.

02:57

So it says people must really like what this creator posted. And so then it sends it out mathematically based on that.

03:05

And they add, I mean, we found out they add other things in their algorithm. Like if you use the word abortion in any of your posts, it's not going to be, which is why this is called

03:15

Fight for Life and not abortion. There's no abortion in that. We can't do it. We have to be super careful with everything we post right now on YouTube or Facebook.

03:24

And oftentimes we don't even give a full description of what we're talking about because we know that it'll get suppressed. Yeah. So we found that out with next week.

03:32

We were having a lot of views, and then one week it just dropped to nothing. And then so we stopped using abortion in the title and tags and stuff.

03:43

And then it's gone back up. Sometimes it's hard to do that. We just have to just take the risk and say the word anyways.

03:50

But most of the time we're trying to avoid all that. Right. Yeah. That's real. So it is good.

03:56

Facebook's algorithm inherently like it's for your good because you only want to see stuff that's interesting and relevant to you and like other people want to see too.

04:07

But there are ways to get around it, which is how Facebook makes their money is that a creator can say, I want a lot of people to see this.

04:14

And there's a lot of fine tuning to that. So you can say, I want a lot of people to see this within a specific area and our city or country.

04:25

And so you can fine tune exactly who you want to see, want to see a post, even if they don't like your post, you can come up as an ad or whatnot.

04:34

So what Facebook has said is unless you're in Ireland, you cannot promote any repeal the 8th or save the 8th information.

04:48

So just so I can explain, not assuming that everyone knows exactly what we're talking about. When we promote, when we produce, say a video on the 8th

04:57

Amendment and trying to encourage a church in Ireland to rise up and speak the truth in the midst of this and trying to provide support to the church in Ireland.

05:08

What has effectively been done here is there's an actual stop, a block on the ability to communicate with people in Ireland.

05:18

There's essentially a protection of the repeal the 8th movement is effectively what it is.

05:24

Facebook is protecting the repeal the 8th movement. They've taken a stance essentially by blocking people from being able to boost their content so that it's seen by more people in Ireland.

05:39

So in regard to our effort to bless the church in Ireland, to help them and to provide support to them, this is essentially a block of our ability to be able to boost content, to be able to be seen by more people in Northern and Southern Ireland.

05:55

And so this is... And Google, we didn't mention Google. Didn't mention. Go ahead and talk about Google. So Google just did an outright ban on any advertising for repeal the 8th or save the 8th.

06:05

So either way. Yeah. So no advertising whatsoever. They'll block it. And I think...

06:10

Well, first off, I think we should mention that they are their own company, so they can do what they want in terms of that sort of promotion and marketing.

06:22

So they do have the right to do that. We agree with private property rights. We're not arguing that this is a violation of the

06:28

First Amendment right or Ireland's right or they can do whatever they want. But I think there's a deeper level of trying to influence elections as a whole that is corrupt, especially towards a certain political spectrum.

06:45

And there's evidence of that. We can get into that later. But what I think is most important is that the people who are watching know how the algorithm works because you can hack it.

06:59

And you hack it by commenting, sharing, and liking, and sending it to friends, posting it in all your

07:05

Facebook groups. Just make it popular. And so then

07:10

Facebook automatically will say, hey, this is interesting and people want to see it. And so then the people can boost it, something on their own, without the creator having to pay for it.

07:22

It could become organically viral. Yes. So all that has to happen for that is for people just to share it.

07:29

So we have nearly 40 ,000 Facebook likes, 100 ,000

07:34

YouTube subscribers, and there's people watching on YouTube now and Facebook and Twitter.

07:41

And so when that drops, we just release it, just share it, like, comment, interact.

07:48

We'll probably live stream it so you'll be able to comment during the video itself. And we'll get those dates.

07:55

But it's really important that people tune in for event television on the internet and interact and watch and share because Facebook doesn't have a way to block that without manually going in and doing it.

08:11

Facebook doesn't have a person at a computer sitting behind a computer watching every video that happens and deciding whether or not they're going to share it.

08:18

That'd be impossible. So it's all based on algorithm. So if people are liking happy, sad faces, crying faces, if they're commenting and sharing,

08:27

Facebook goes, oh, popular video, let's make sure everybody sees it. Now the way that you mentioned to get around if a video needs to be seen but it's not necessarily being seen by a lot of people, or popular commenting, is that we can actually go in and we can boost content.

08:41

We pay to boost the content so it's seen by a certain segment that we want it to reach.

08:48

And what is happening here with Facebook is that Facebook is blocking our ability to make sure that as many people in Ireland see this as possible.

08:58

They're stopping it. I think that should scare Christians that the two largest distributors of content,

09:09

Google and Facebook, and Twitter too, Twitter's notoriously awful. They're specifically blocking election stuff, dealing with the elections and stuff.

09:24

So when you look at the printing press or the Internet in general, those two things have provided a way for the common person to be able to get information and make informed decisions when voting.

09:39

And now Facebook is saying and Google are saying, you know, we don't want people to make informed decisions and then we're going to determine what's fake news or we're going to determine all the other things.

09:56

What is fake news? Who determines that? And even worse, when Zuckerberg was sitting before Congress, he referenced hate speech.

10:13

And I think, was it Ted Cruz that asked, what do you define as hate speech? Yeah. Yeah. It was

10:18

Cruz. Yeah. What is hate speech? And so I think,

10:25

I mean, we know, you know, anything dealing with abortion is considered hate speech.

10:30

Anything dealing with homosexuality, transgender issues, yeah, anything, that's all considered hate speech.

10:38

So it's not just like they're essentially saying we just want to ban all election boosting, you know, they have a specific goal in mind.

10:54

And there was, I want to talk about the WikiLeaks thing real quick. Yeah, just do that next.

11:02

So essentially, Facebook, well, I think what's happening here, and I think many of you will agree with this.

11:08

These liberal media organizations don't want to see another 2016 situation where you have the common people essentially controlling an election by sharing their own independent content.

11:23

The major media is not controlling media any longer, right? It's the common people with a

11:29

YouTube channel or small independent organizations. That's the problem. So CNN can say something and nobody takes it seriously because you have 20 other

11:37

CRTV programs or Apologia. Yeah, independent news sources. Independent news sources.

11:42

Yeah. But that's not true. Right. And then they say, well, that's fake news or that's Russians or whatever. And so like that,

11:49

I think that's the key. Like there's a sense with like the mainstream media that they're looking at what's happening on the

11:58

Internet with even like with Netflix, like ABC, CBS and NBC. Like they're like, oh man, like all the television's going to ABC, CBS and NBC and like cable companies are like, oh man, like nobody's buying cable anymore.

12:11

They're just getting Netflix and HBO package. So there's a fear from the mainstream media that they're not the mainstream anymore.

12:22

So this is an attack. It's a propaganda war. It is.

12:28

It's a fight for control over the conversation. It is. So. So. So I want to say with that, they don't want to see a repetition of what just happened in the last election cycle.

12:38

I think that from their perspective, they're saying we learned our lesson. We need to have maintain more control here of elections, election cycle process, all these different things.

12:49

So in this case, you're beginning to see, I think I expected this. You're beginning to see the kinds of restrictions that they now know they have to put into play.

12:59

So what's happening in Ireland right now, we look, Marcus and I have been to Ireland now and we know what it's like on the street there.

13:05

We know what people are like there, what they believe. I can say this without any question, Ireland, both north and south, predominantly pro -life without question, heavily pro -life and in opposition to abortion.

13:19

However, you've got organizations funded by guys like Soros and other major players that are funding the repeal the eighth movement.

13:27

And so they're controlling in many ways, the media communication, those sorts of things. And here's what, what becomes dangerous.

13:33

You have a situation now where Facebook is going to block our ability to boost content that would help the church, bless the church, equip the church in Ireland.

13:43

Facebook is taking an official stance, I would say, by saying we're going to block any ability to advertise content that is related to the eighth amendment in Ireland.

13:52

I just want you to hear me on this. May 25th is the day when the referendum stuff goes into action.

14:00

That's just a couple of weeks away. This is serious. I mean, Ireland, both north and south, we've said many times is one of the last standing

14:06

Christian, historically Christian nations that has blocked the murder of the unborn in the womb.

14:13

And here's what's difficult here. And then I'm going to go to the WikiLeaks thing. You have the pro -life movement in North America that is heavily influencing the pro -life fight in Ireland.

14:24

And we would say not in helpful ways. They're removing the strength of Ireland's position in terms of what it's called by law now.

14:32

It's a crime. The woman is seen as a criminal. It's a guilty verdict. And it's a human being in the womb.

14:39

All that's already there. The pro -life movement is influencing Ireland and Ireland's fight against abortion by taking away the strength of the criminal legislation and saying, no, she's a victim.

14:50

She's as much a victim as the child. So then you also have the pro -choice movement in America that is funding a lot of the fight for the repeal of the

14:59

Eighth Amendment in Ireland. So there's a lot happening here right now. And the danger here is that we now know we have to face an organization like Facebook that's specifically taking a side and blocking the ability to communicate.

15:13

And again, I'll just stress what Marcus just said. I believe with all my heart, Facebook is not community owned.

15:18

It's private property. It's somebody else's property. And I respect the rights of any person over their own property to do with it as they please.

15:28

That doesn't mean, however, that the community that utilizes the service has to agree with that or has to keep their mouth shut when it happens.

15:36

This is a service provided for people and the people and their happiness and their enjoying the platform itself is the main thing.

15:44

So if the people will actually speak to the creator of the content or the owner and say, we're not accepting this, we won't buy it, we're not going to be using your service, then that changes the mind of the owner.

15:56

Just say, for example, if you had a person who owned a business, local business in town, and they're being a jerk to all their customers, right?

16:04

They're just rude, mean -spirited. They charge whatever they want for their, you know, they charge, say, $20 for, you know, for scrambled eggs and a piece of bacon.

16:14

You know, they can do that all they want, but it doesn't mean the community has to eat there.

16:20

And it doesn't mean the community has to keep their mouth shut or it doesn't mean the community can't speak out to one another saying this is an awful thing, what a bad service.

16:28

And that's what's so great about like the ratings you do online, you know, give them a bad rating. Well, in this case, you've got

16:34

Facebook, private property, it belongs to them, they can do what they please, but they are, they're telling us that they're taking a side on this issue and they're essentially going to help the repeal the

16:44

Eighth Amendment movement. Yeah, the free market, in the free market, the power of the, the power of the free market is in the consumer and not in Zuckerberg, right?

16:59

All the power that Zuckerberg has is because the consumer has given it to him.

17:04

That's right. And so it's not like, you know, the liberals say, well, the 1 % are running everything.

17:11

That's not true. It's the consumers that are running everything. That's just, that's just how things work.

17:17

And so it is a free market, but being in favor of a free market, there's also being against crony capitalism.

17:26

Yes. And so that's the issue at hand. And now I'm going to bring up the WikiLeaks thing.

17:31

Well, while you're pulling it out, I'm just going to pull up, I don't want to look like I'm ignoring what's happening here. I'm actually just going to pull up for comments here, guys.

17:37

Feel free to ask any questions. The main thing, if you're just tuning in right now, we need your support.

17:43

As Marcus pulls it up, such a blessing. All of you are such a blessing to us.

17:49

Many of you guys prayed about this ministry. You gave financially towards this ministry. Some of you guys are now for the second year.

17:56

If you saw this week's episode of Next Week, you remember that we put up the headline of an article right here that was on Yahoo's cover page.

18:06

And Yahoo gave a story about how there was a study done that 2017 saw a massive surge, massive surge of people going to the abortion mills.

18:18

That's 2017. Like they couldn't believe what hit them. Well, that was the year of End Abortion Now, the year where we actually launched

18:24

End Abortion Now and all the churches started going out and we were providing resources and support and those sorts of things.

18:30

And so that you see that it is changing things. It's changing the conversation. They're taking notice. So many children were saved.

18:37

It was just such an incredible blessing. In this particular case, we need you. We need you.

18:43

We need your help in a big way. What we have to say in the End Abortion Now documentary going into Ireland doesn't just affect

18:51

Ireland. I want you to know that. Well, the content, the center of it, the principles behind it speak directly to the failure of the pro -life movement, the need to change how we approach ending abortion, and of course the emphasis is on the

19:03

Eighth Amendment in Ireland, but it all works together with what's happening just internationally with abortion. So we need your help.

19:10

Before Marcus talks about the WikiLeaks thing, I want to say that we're about to drop this film and we need you guys to partner with us by liking it, sharing it, making sure more people get it, because here's the nature of the case.

19:25

We're going to try to find creative ways around this, but as of right now, we can't take advertising dollars and put it into the video to make sure that it's getting into the hands of everyone in Ireland.

19:36

We can't do that at this point because Facebook is blocking us. So we can't provide the kind of support we want to to the church in Ireland, which means that we really need you to help us do it.

19:47

We need you to, when you see it, share it with everyone you can. Again, like and comment.

19:52

All those things matter. If you have friends in Ireland, make sure that they get it into their hands. Make sure you communicate to them that Facebook is blocking the ability to advertise this video so if they could share it in Ireland with as many people as possible.

20:04

We just really need you to work together with us to make sure that this is used to bless the church in Ireland. Go ahead.

20:10

So, a lot of people remember that when Trump was running for office, there was a major breach of security with John Podesta's emails, and John Podesta was

20:20

Hillary Clinton's right -hand man, his campaign organizer, her top guy, and in one of the emails,

20:28

I was reading a lot of those emails when it came out, and I was looking for like keywords like abortion,

20:34

I read like Cecil Richards' emails, Hillary Clinton, like those sort of things, looking for anything that would be, you know, kind of helpful to figuring stuff out, but I read this one email, and this is from Facebook.

20:48

It's from, I think, Zuckerberg's assistant, and it's addressed to John Podesta, and he says,

20:56

Mark is meeting with people to learn more about next steps for his philanthropy and social action, and it's hard to imagine someone better placed or more experienced than you to help, talking about Hillary Clinton's right -hand guy.

21:07

He says, as you may know, Mark Zuckerberg's young and hungry to learn, always in learning mode, and is early in his career when it comes to his philanthropic efforts.

21:17

He's begun to think about whether slash how he might want to shape advocacy efforts to support his philanthropic priorities, and is particularly interested in meeting people, so this is

21:31

Hillary Clinton's campaign, who could help him understand how to move the needle on specific public policy issues he cares most about.

21:40

He wants to meet folks who can inform his understanding about effective political operations to advance public policy goals on social media, like immigration, education, or basic scientific research, or abortion, or campaigns, and stuff like that, so that was, and Podesta agreed to meet, and so you can only assume that they actually did meet, that they were scheduled and there's a confirmation email with a date.

22:11

So there's a record of Zuckerberg saying, specifically, that he wants to use his platform to advance his political ideology, and so that's where we say, well, their free market, yes, but now that's crony capitalism, because you want to work with the government to find a way to figure out how you can change things, and so now when

22:36

I hear Zuckerberg talking about how he wants to make sure that his platform is never used to influence election again, that's very concerning, and I would hope that on a larger vision, there's

22:52

Christians who are programmers and software engineers that go, let's create a better Facebook, let's create a better, and that's not just like making like a, you know, a faith book, like a legitimately good platform, yeah, like actually a good business platform, a good platform that can be just as big as Facebook and appeal to as many people as Facebook has that's better and has better ways of, you know, allowing politics to be discussed more freely or whatever, however you want to do it, so it's just Christians need to be the innovators and thinkers and stuff, or else, you know, when pagans,

23:32

I mean, Mark Zuckerberg has a lot of power for a pagan, yeah, he certainly does, you know, same with Google, like all those guys have so much power, and Christians have just not been involved in the culture and the technology spectrum for sure, they've kind of backed away,

23:48

I don't know why that happened, yeah, I don't know why that happened, it's interesting, well, it's a new thing for us for sure, it's still open, yeah, the internet's still pretty widely open, you can do what it wants, but it doesn't seem like there's been any

24:00

Christians that have really been innovating technology, contact, contact us, we'll work together with you if you have some good ideas, yeah, so Marcus, what do we need people to be thinking about, what do we need them to do over the next week, some of you guys, maybe you gave to help this work and praise

24:20

God for that, that's how all this happened, some of you guys have gotten linked up with your church at inabortionnow .com

24:25

and now you're out saving lives, and we've sent you guys free resources and gotten free training, all those sorts of things, some of you guys haven't been able to get involved yet, maybe you haven't started yet, maybe you're just getting to know

24:35

Apologia Church, but you can help us right now, what we're gonna drop next week relates completely to our fight against abortion in America, but of course it's very specific to what's happening in Ireland, so Marcus, what can people do to really be a part of this with us,

24:54

I mean genuinely to be a part of this with us? We're gonna probably drop a trailer before it launches, of the new film, and then share that trailer and it'll have a time and date that the whole film will be broadcasted live, we just set up, we got new internet in the studio, and we just set up a way we can, we're gonna live stream to Facebook and YouTube and Twitter, all, as many platforms as we possibly can now, all at once, so next week will be on YouTube and Facebook and Twitter, so there's gonna be a lot of live streaming content, so one, make sure you're subscribed to our channel on YouTube, if you're watching us on YouTube, hit subscribe and then hit the bell, that'll alert you to any notifications, and then on Facebook, I think if you hit like or follow, it'll give you an option that you see

25:48

Apologia Studios content first, and that's a way to guarantee that you're seeing the content, and then also,

25:56

I think, just, we should just ignore, like a lot of people might hear this and they just feel defeated,

26:03

I would say you should do the opposite and just keep sharing more Repeal of the Eight, Save the

26:09

Eight stuff, more pro -life stuff in Ireland, help them get the word out, there's,

26:16

Ireland podcast out right now? Airclesia, E -I -R, E -I -R, E -I -R, E -I -R, E -I -R, E -I -R, E -I -R, E -I -R, E -I -R, E -I -R, E -I -R, E -I -R, E -I -R,

26:22

E -I -R, E -I -R, E -I -R, E -I -R, E -I -R, E -I -R, E -I -R, E -I -R, E -I -R,

26:28

E -I -R, E -I -R,

26:40

E -I -R,

26:57

E -I -R, E -I -R, E -I -R,

27:09

E -I -R. So, evangelism is one of the commandments of the

27:40

Bible. All Christians have, is to share the gospel. And so, prior to the

27:49

Tower of Babel, well at the Tower of Babel, God actually shut down languages and separated everybody and made it hard for people to be able to work together.

28:00

But then at Pentecost, you see a reversing of that curse, and you see that people are able to speak in tongues, which meant they could actually speak in the language of others.

28:11

And ever since then, just 100 years after that, paper was invented.

28:18

So I mention that because if you go from the Tower of Babel to Pentecost, there was no technological innovation for 3 ,000 years.

28:27

I mean, the technological innovation was the ark, and then people were using papyrus for the whole time.

28:34

And then you got to paper, and then the printing press came along, and they're like, hey, we could use that Chinese invention.

28:40

So then they used actual paper, and so there's just this continuing advancement of technology that aided in the share of the gospel.

28:50

So you see it with the printing press, you see it with Samuel Morse and the telegraph, and then

28:57

Cyrus, Cyrus Field, who did the transatlantic cable, which is how we get fiber optic cables now.

29:06

It's the same process he invented for Morse code. It's how we got internet around the world. And the reason I say all that is because because of the gospel,

29:14

God has given us the ability to communicate broadly, quickly, and around the world instantly.

29:20

And it started at Pentecost, and it's been developing for 2 ,000 years. So when people say, well,

29:26

I don't think sharing is that important, or like, I don't think it does that much, I would say that that's a denial of the commands of the

29:37

Great Commission. So we're to share the gospel, and we can preach the gospel.

29:43

We can share the gospel by sharing a video or sharing more. There's a lot of ways to share the gospel, and the gospel isn't just like, you know, the evangelistic message.

29:53

The gospel impacts all areas of life, and so it affects... Everywhere the lordship of Christ goes.

29:59

Right, everywhere the lordship of Christ goes. So it affects abortion in Ireland. It affects abortion in America, and politics and economics and government, and, you know, lordship of Christ.

30:09

You know, God's redeeming the entire world and all institutions in the world. Yeah. So I think sharing is important, and it matters, and, you know,

30:17

I think also a lot of times you'll see people with platforms like Fox News, and you'll go, man,

30:27

Fox News, they don't ever speak accurately about the Bible when it comes to government or CNN, you know?

30:35

And so you can look at that and go, well, I can change that. I can change that by sharing the content that I like and creating a better organization.

30:48

Yeah. And so that's, you know, online sharing is currency, you know?

30:54

So when you say, I like something, it's as good as giving money to an organization, so because that's how their content is seen and stuff like that.

31:03

So it matters. It does, and I'll give you maybe one encouraging story about how this all works together, and thank you guys, for those of you guys who have been watching since the beginning of this little stream.

31:16

Marcus and I are about to record an interview with somebody that's leaving Mormonism, and it's going to happen right here in the studio.

31:24

We're very excited about it and humbled. You guys will be seeing that very, very soon, but I want to encourage you with just this word.

31:32

The way this relationship began with this young man that's coming in here and where he's at now in terms of what the questions he has, what he's thinking about in terms of turning to Christ.

31:43

The reason this relationship started is because this guy saw content that was online.

31:49

Content came to him from this ministry. That story could be multiplied ad infinitum, ad nauseum, over and over and over.

31:58

I mean, all around the world people have either come to Christ or had their theology completely transformed, their marriage is healed, getting out of addictions.

32:08

People's lives have literally been saved, literally been saved from death because somebody, just like yourself, shared content from this ministry and it found its way through the internet and landed in somebody's smartphone.

32:23

God used it to transform them. Again, it saved lives. It started churches going out to save lives at the abortion mill.

32:30

In terms of what's happening in Ireland right now with the connections we have out there now, the way those connections formed was because people like yourself shared content from Apologia Studios.

32:40

It made its way into Ireland. It's opened the eyes of believers out there. It's actually gotten entire churches now ready and on their feet to go and to address the issue of abortion in Ireland.

32:50

All that happened because somebody just like yourself, just like me, just like Marcus, shared the content. It's a tough thing.

32:58

We know God is sovereign. He's sovereign over every detail. He's sovereign over Facebook's decision to block advertising dollars in this way, but it's,

33:07

I think, a good opportunity for us to get on our feet and to work hard together to make sure we communicate the message that needs to be heard in Ireland.

33:15

So is that it? I think so. Yeah. Any questions on there? Anybody have any questions? We're open right now for anything you, for some reason my phone just crashed and burned.

33:25

I can't pull up the video. Is it still running? Oh yeah. Okay. Oh, there you go. Okay. It works now. Nope. It's not letting me.

33:32

So what do we got? We got YouTube and Facebook. So any questions?

33:39

Let's try Facebook first. Anything pops up right away and then let's go to YouTube. By the way, isn't it great?

33:46

We've now, this is the second live stream this week that is going to YouTube as well, which is very exciting for us.

33:53

Yeah, YouTube comments are kind of... YouTube comments are always a little more interesting than our Facebook audience.

33:58

Yeah. I'm not being able to pull anything up at the moment. For either one?

34:06

No, go ahead and talk about something. I'll find something. So let's see here. I think we should be able to get a trailer for the

34:15

Saving Ireland documentary up by, maybe by Saturday. You might be able to see something.

34:21

And the goal is to hopefully have that maybe go out Monday, the actual documentary out on Monday.

34:28

So be on the lookout for that. This week's episode, if you didn't see it yet, this week's episode of Next Week was just a blessing to be a part of.

34:35

Dr. Andrew Sandlin was, I think, my favorite interview so far we've ever done. I think it'll really be an encouragement to you and just maybe be a challenge to your thinking.

34:44

This isn't a question, but it's a pretty interesting. She says, I live in Ireland. The radio is so biased, it's crazy.

34:52

Yes vote is dominating the media, and it's so obvious the government is pushing this agenda. That's a first hint for all to run the other way.

35:01

Yeah, we talked to people in Ireland this last time when Marcus was on his honeymoon. When we were there, what we heard from a number of Christians, both in the

35:09

North and the South, is that in Ireland right now, you would think, based upon watching Irish television and radio, listening to the radio, you would think that Ireland is predominantly pro -choice.

35:23

But when you talk to the average Irish person on the street, they're like, no way. It was interesting, we had atheist taxi drivers that were absolutely on fire pro -life.

35:34

You know, but it's interesting. So Sandlin talked about cultural Marxism, and that talk's going to go up on Friday.

35:42

Next Friday. Andrew Sandlin has a talk on cultural

35:49

Marxism that'll be posted. Part of our Apology Academy. Yeah, and he talked about how

35:56

Marx was only really focused on political and economic, but prior to that, there was a guy, and I can't think of his name, but he was focused on the people.

36:09

So if you can get the people, if you can indoctrinate the people with what you want, you don't have to worry about the politicians.

36:22

So that's why they said schools, let's take over the schools, let's take over the media, let's take over all these organizations.

36:29

That's why when you go to Ireland and you see all the media there is not representative of the people, the

36:38

Marxists there are like, oh don't worry, it will be. Yeah, it will be, yeah. It will be, because they know that they can use the media to empower their political goals.

36:49

And so, the good news is we know that too. That's right, we do too. I was able to, sorry, just be able to pull up the

36:57

YouTube comments. Bobby asks, how can I go about talking with my friends about getting together and learning and eventually going to abortion mills to evangelize?

37:05

Well I would encourage you, Bobby, to share some of the content we have on our YouTube channel of us doing evangelism at the abortion mills.

37:14

There is a video from when you and I were in Kentucky at the last standing abortion mill, where you caught some of the content preaching into that abortion mill, and as a result of that there was at least one child saved from death.

37:27

I forget what the video is called, I think it says Baby Saved at Abortion Mill. Share that, because it gives everybody a good picture of what we actually say at the abortion mill, what does the ministry look like, and you see the end result as a life was saved.

37:40

I would say share that with your friends, and I would say definitely go to your pastors, let them know about this ministry, then go to endabortionnow .com

37:46

and just get signed up with your local church and get all the free training and free resources, completely for free, from End Abortion Now.

37:53

Someone brought up a good point. Someone says it seems like we're going to have to get extremely creative in working around these platform shadow bands.

38:03

Apologia Studios has 93 ,491 subscribers yet only 67 people are watching.

38:11

That is weird. That is weird, almost 100 ,000 subscribers and we have 63 people watching live on YouTube.

38:18

So what does that mean? Something strange there. How does the algorithm work? Yeah, you're right, that's a good point.

38:25

So for everybody who's been watching, thank you so much. It means a lot to us. We're servants of Christ, just like you.

38:33

We're just trying to be faithful to God and to love people and love God the best way that we can.

38:40

These mediums that God has given to us are incredible. They are just absolutely incredible.

38:46

The fact that right now people have been watching what we've been doing here in this little studio in Phoenix all around this planet, and that is tremendous.

38:55

So it's just a huge blessing. It's also a huge responsibility and we really need you.

39:01

We need you to help with what we're doing. So you may think, truly, you may think that sharing say the documentary

39:09

Saving Ireland is not that big of a deal. Maybe it doesn't have that much of an impact. I can promise you that it does.

39:15

It does, it does, it does have an impact, a tremendous impact all around the world when you share the content.

39:21

So again, hopefully Monday is when we're going to drop the documentary, I hope. Hopefully by this weekend we have a trailer for it.

39:28

But yeah, we wanted to alert you guys to let everybody on our team know what's up. And anything else? No, that's it.

39:34

Okay. All right guys, God bless you guys. Please pray for us. And if you have any questions, you want to know what all this is about, go to endabortionnow .com.

39:41

You guys can go there again and sign up. You can also give and help us to reach our year -end goal.

39:46

But there's also one more thing, a legislator tab. You can send an immediate message to your legislature in your area.

39:54

It's already pre -written. All you do is put your info in, hit send, it goes right to them. And that's part of that grassroots movement to push on legislators to be more consistent and courageous and decriminalize abortion.
