The Left Will Not Leave the Colorado Christian Baker Alone
"You might remember the name Jack Phillips. In fact, I just was about to say Jack baker and then I realized no his name isn't Jack baker. His name is Jack Phillips. He is by profession a maker. I'm talking about the Colorado Christian baker, who has become famous on some quarters, perhaps infamous. And as I think about this poor guy, in some ways, it reminds me of Trump and a smaller scale because he can't get a break. They won't leave him alone. And who's they? They of course is the left. So Jack baker, Jack Phillips, I'm sorry. One at the Supreme Court. He went to the Supreme Court in 2018. He had been asked to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple, and he goes, look, I don't mind making cakes, you can buy any cake in my shop, but if you ask me to make a cake that conveys some sort of a message and that message goes against my political and my religious. Beliefs. I won't do it. And so he was appealing to conscience and the Supreme Court agreed. And the Supreme Court didn't decide, unfortunately, my view, the issue in principle and just say, listen, religious freedom is supreme here. You can't just pass these so called anti discrimination laws and have them override the First Amendment, the First Amendment protection of religious freedom. But the court didn't kind of go that far. They just go in this case. We are going to side with Jack Phillips. And so Jack Phillips comes home. He thinks victorious as a press conference and guess what? Just exactly the time he's freed. And he wins his case, he sued again. And this time not by a gay couple but by a transgender individual, this is somebody named autumn scardina, a transgender woman, she comes in and demands that Jack Phillips make another cake. And this is a cake supposedly for her gender transition party.

Liz Wheeler and Eric Discuss a SCOTUS Case for Religious Liberty
"Our Friends at the alliance defending freedom were at the Supreme Court, arguing this case for religious liberty. It seems that everything. In other words, no matter what the constitution says, you have to keep defending it. Because there are going to be crazy people in places like Colorado, who are just going to do whatever they want and the state government is going to be fine with it. And then you have to go to the Supreme Court otherwise you've got to deal with their Marxist madness in places like Colorado. That's basically what's going on in this case. It is. It's sort of a repeat of the Jack Phillips master. Except in that case, I blame the Supreme Court a little bit. They ruled so narrowly in the masterpiece cake shop case that it only applied to Jack Phillips. It wasn't something that established a precedent that said, okay, well, a religious person, like this florist, I believe she is. This florist is allowed to exercise her religious beliefs in the workplace without facing a lawsuit from the state over their anti discrimination act. And the Supreme Court at that time could have said this applies to everyone. Instead, what they actually ruled in the masterpiece cake shop case was that Jack Phillips had been treated with animus by the state. So they didn't comment or set any precedent on religious freedom. This case is sort of sort of, I would call it a retrial of that same principle. This is hopefully it will lead to a little bit of a broader rule. And I don't think it's a florist. I think stutzman was the florist, and that was a previous case. This one website created a website. That's right. But what I find fascinating, really, is, again, like the supreme, I mean, sorry, the constitution and this nation have always been super clear that we can not force people to say things they don't want to say to do things they want to do. It's a free country. And if you have religious beliefs, they are sacred. But in places like Colorado, they're challenging that, which is

Leo Terrell: SCOTUS Needs a Defined Ruling on 1st Amendment Rights
"Unfortunately in the baker case the Jack Phillips baker case which was similar they didn't rule on the larger constitutional issue They just ruled on the animus express by the Colorado governing board which I think was a big mistake because as we've seen Leo with abortion for now decades if you keep trying to kick the can down the road like John Roberts has a history of doing and isolating cases to these limited silos they just keep coming back It's not that they go away That's a big mistake and he's done this Roberts repeatedly and that's why this case is back in the Supreme Court You are spot on Dan And this is why I like this Supreme Court a Trump appointed court They're not going to isolate a ruling for this particular case They need to make a broad statement like they did in the roe V wade case last year excuse me this year and they need to make sure that this ruling is clear So you don't have these repeated cases over and over again And this is what I think the Supreme Court is going to do There is a First Amendment religious right and then more importantly a First Amendment right of expression that the government can not intrude on It can not force people to give up to do business in the state

Leo Terrell: Explaining SCOTUS Case 303 Creative v. Elenis
"Is no one better to talk about civil rights and legal issues other than you I mean you're literally a civil rights attorney So this Colorado case of the Supreme Court has me fascinated The gist of the case is very simple It's a website designer who pursuant to this Colorado law She's being forced if the Colorado law is in fact enforced And she loses to do websites creating messages that violate her religious beliefs on marriage This is a really fascinating case because it's not the first time Colorado as you know has found itself in the Supreme Court with Jack Phillips the cake maker You know Leo this is a pretty simple case The lady civil rights and constitutional rights are being violated She's being forced to say something by a governing body that violates her religious beliefs Am I missing something about this case No you should be teaching the class in law school It's simply law school one O one Now these are religious freedoms being challenged Dan her First Amendment right of expression She is being forced to express something by way of a website that she does not agree with And this is government intrusion on her First Amendment right And this case to me is solid as a rock as a First Amendment case to her religious objection but not only her right up expressing herself and she'd be forced to express something that she doesn't want to And that's government entanglement of her First Amendment right She is absolutely unsolved ground and I don't know if we believe the Supreme Court is going to rule in her favor

Supreme Court Hears Case on Free Speech Against LGBTQ Rights
"Place of audio for you we played played this in the last hour. This is associate justice, Neil Gorsuch, having a conversation with Colorado solicitor general, over another case, and this one involved Jack Phillips, the Christian baker, who was sent to a re-education camp because he refused to comply with Colorado law. Take a listen. I'm looking for the distinction between the two cases. One you say is okay, the other one, not okay. Because the company, unlike our first example of the speechwriter, the company here says, in no uncertain terms, will they ever sell a company a product or a service to a same sex couple? What they say is we will not sell to anyone. Anyone, a message that I disagree with as a matter of religious faith, just as a speechwriter says, or the press release, right of the freelance forces, I will not sell to anyone. A speech that offends my religious beliefs. But here they are defining their service by excluding someone based on their religious belief. I changed their religious belief, right? No, but you protect religious beliefs under the statute, right? That is one of the protected characteristics in theory. And in practice, if it wasn't in practice, we had heard about it over the past several years and my friend has pointed to no example where this has been applied. Mister Phillips did go through a re-education training program pursuant to Colorado law, did he not, mister Olsen? He went through a process that ensured he was familiar. He was a re-education program, right? It was not a re-education program. What do you call it? It was a process to make sure he was familiar with Colorado law. Someone might be excused for calling that a re-education. Strongly disagree, discourse. Thank you, mister.

Both sides see high stakes in gay rights Supreme Court case
"A controversial case on whether a Colorado website designer must do work for same sex couples is going before the U.S. Supreme Court Monday. Groups on both sides of the issue are already expressing their views. If 63 year old Laurie Smith is allowed not to serve gay couples. Liberal groups warn black people Muslims, Jews, and migrants could also be subject to discrimination. But conservative groups argue if the high court forces Smith to design wedding websites for same sex couples against her religious beliefs, other artists like photographers, writers, and musicians, could be forced to do work that violates their faith. This Colorado case going before the conservative majority high court is the second in 5 years, Colorado baker Jack Phillips won a limited decision when he refused to bake a wedding cake for a same sex couple.

Megan Basham and Eric Unpack David French's Thoughts on Gay Marriage
"Thing to personally believe that marriage is between a man and a woman for life. That's the biblical view, right? Okay. So it's another thing to say that we could deal with that being messed with. In other words, if we have same sex marriage in our laws, it's not going to hurt anybody. There are people who believe that. But then there's the issue of religious liberty and the reason so many people oppose same sex marriage. It wasn't just because they believe that there can be no such thing. But that they said, once this becomes law, they're going to come after those who disagree. And that's exactly what we're seeing now. So when somebody like David French says that his views have evolved, in other words, he seems to be saying that, yes, legally, I side with those who would demonize this being established in our laws. I'm sorry that I, yes, I side with those who would demonize those who disagree with this, who will not in their Christian school or whatever institution in their businesses that they will not go along with this. So it seems to me that somebody like they've French would side against Jack Phillips of the masterpiece cake shop in Colorado, that he would say, you need to stuff it. I mean, it sounds like that from where we're from what you're saying. I mean, he's saying he does it. He's saying that he believes the legal protections are there for a Jack Phillips, except that we have seen Jack Phillips be harassed for years and years on end now. So I would argue, I don't know how robust those legal protections are. And at the same time, he doesn't seem to recognize that, look, this touches nonprofits in a very specific way. You could look at Christian adoption agencies, for instance, if they believe that a man and a woman is the best environment for raising children and want to limit their services to adopting children out to heterosexual couples, they should have that right. And this throws that into jeopardy. And

A Big Courtroom Win for a Christian Baker in California
"I'd like to talk about the Christian baker, who refused to bake a cake. Because of a demand that it be okay celebrating a gay wedding. But it's not the bake or you're thinking about. You're thinking about the baker in Colorado. What was his name, honey Jack? Phillips, Jacques Phillips is his name, but I'm actually talking about a similar case in California, involving a woman, her name is Kathy Miller. And she runs a bakery called taste, pastries bakery in Bakersfield, California. Now, she had been approached to design a custom cake for a wedding ceremony, and this is actually Kathy Miller in 2017, quote here at taste trees we love everyone. My husband and I Christians, we know God created everyone. He created everyone equal, so it's not like we don't like people of certain groups. There's just certain things that violate my conscience. So by the way, her position very similar to the position of Jack Phillips in Colorado, but Kathy Miller gets sued by California's department of fair housing and employment. This was under something called the unruh Civil Rights Act of 1959, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race ethnicity or religion. A pause for a moment because here you have a civil rights law, which is basically supposed to protect people from being discriminated against on the basis of race or ethnicity or you guessed it religion. And what's going on here, Kathy Miller is being discriminated against or being targeted or in this case being it is being demanded of her that she go against her own religious beliefs and her own conscience and say something that she really doesn't want to say.

Lorie Loves All Things Creative but Colorado Wants to Censor Her
"There is a case in other case in Colorado and it raises an interesting question. Our Colorado courts, particularly goofy or is it just a coincidence? Well, a few months ago, the tenth circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Colorado officials could force a website designer to create custom website celebrating your viewers that goes against her biblical beliefs. Lori Smith is a website designer and she wants to create website celebrating the biblical view of marriage that is between one man and one woman. But if she does so, Colorado would punish her if she declined to create website celebrating a different view of marriage. And so unlike she looked around, she saw what the state was doing to Jack Phillips and she didn't want to be punished before she found out her constitutional rights. If she sued, and three months ago, the tenth circuit Court of Appeals said she could be punished for exercising her First Amendment right now to express a message that goes against her core beliefs. I'm quiet because I'm actually assimilating what you're saying. So according to the courts in Colorado, a person has to actively celebrate, for example, same sex marriage if they believe, even if they believe that religion demands that marriage be between a man and a woman. Do I have that correctly? That's what the ten circuit recently held that if Laurie Smith creates custom websites celebrating biblical marriage, the state would force her to also create custom websites celebrating differences, including same sex marriage.

There's no way that the colorado civil rights commission should have treated jack phillips and his faith with such disdain. And there's certainly no way that a lawyer in denver should be allowed to continually harassed him as the courts have allowed him to do and when it comes to now stutzman. there's not a nicer person on the planet. She actually served the same client that she's accused of not serving but in another real sense their stories. Aren't that unusual. At least when seen in light of the larger account of church history to be christian to hold to christian conviction about what is true about the nature and person of jesus christ about the place of christian conviction in the public square is to be out of step with the larger culture from the very beginning to the very end. Christians have faced challenges had to choose between their wellbeing and their deeply-held convictions. What may have happened in the story of jack phillips and baroness stutzman is that god was raising them up. Not only as an indicator of where our culture has gone but also and even more importantly as a lesson for how. We're going to need to think the courage that we're going to need to have the choices that we're going to have to make and the faith that we're going to have to have in the god whose writing our stories last month on our strong women podcasts. There was a family featured that may go down as one of the next epistles for all of us to read by looking at their lives. Their story is simple. Their faith is humble their situation. Similar to one many of us might find ourselves and if we haven't already it involves something as silly as a mask and amass. That said. Jesus loves you something. That was too much for the school that a little girl went to could handle this girl who wore this. Jesus loves you. Mass now finds herself in court defending her ride simply to share the joy. That's in her heart. She is an amazing young woman and her parents are really impressive to take a listen to a brief clip of this interview with the booth family. The first time. I wore the mask on. Nothing happened while femoral. months later At the compete or lay out. That computer lab teacher told me that i couldn't wear This type of mask. They had contacted the assistant superintendent. Dr sanders he even bear at that point that it was not the handbook and that it was in this restore plan and he emailed me a copy of it. I went on the district page in although they didn't realize it was still. The original document was still archived on their website. When i pulled it up. I'm sitting here looking at two versions. The one that he sent me on the email and then the version that was actually released at the beginning of the school year. And the only difference between those two versions was the verbiage about the type of mask that were to be worn a the meta data on the document that he had sent me and literally. He had modified that thirty minutes before he called me. When something wrong like this as occurred and you just allow it. It's it's the little things that add up over tom. Two big things like this year. It would have been the mask next year of tee shirts and then at some point you wouldn't even be able to say jesus his name in the school and then there. My grandkids and great grandkids can't do what they're called the do as christians and share the gospel and say jesus's name of public. That was a small snippet of the larger interview on the strong women. Podcast with lydia booth and her mom. Lydia is a third grader forced to choose between her wellbeing interfaith. She made the right choice. Visit breakpoint dot org find a link to this interview. Please join us in praying for the courage and confidence that the booth family will need in these coming days as well as their attorneys at alliance defending freedom. I pray that this story. The story of simple courageous faith would encourage all of us today kind of as a living epistle to tell us the sorts of things that the early church fathers knew that the early church would need to know. We're going to need to make some decisions ourselves in the days to.

"It seems like they're only taking cases that deal with institutions. You know there was the trinity lutheran case. You know the the playgrounds and so these are schools or catholic. Social services are institutions. But they have yet to really take up a case like this where it involves an individual who owns a business. That's not an explicitly religious business but the per individual has religious convictions and You know last year this was another good news. Kind of on the small level local level That probably a lot of people didn't hear about but my husband was involved in this during cova did Just in the city of toledo here in ohio. The the health board and toledo wanted to shut down private schools. Who had been meeting in person. And we're following. All the guidelines for but cases were on the rise in ohio and they wanted to shutdown religious schools and the religious school. Said you can't. We're not public schools. That's not how this works and they said okay. We'll listen you you can still have religion class. But you can't do anything else so the kids can come into school and have their bible study class but they can't learn science because then once you start science class than you'll get cova so my husband's organization and some other folks you got involved wrote a ladder like you're talking about and it went to the courts. I don't remember which one but in the decision which the religious schools one the judge said. There was a line that where the judge wrote. Plaintiffs faith is not so easily compartmentalized.

"There anyone who can say what is always right and always wrong and presented unchanging standard by which all behavior can be judged. I raise the question in light of last week's non ruling by the supreme court in the case of washington state flower shop owner baron l. stutzman. That decision was especially disappointing. After the court ruled in favor of colorado baker jack phillips he declined to bake a cake on the same religious grounds as baron l. stutzman declined to provide flowers. How far are the courts willing to go with. This showed an orthodox jewish or muslim caterer be forced to violate their religious beliefs when those faiths view marriage as an opposite sex ritual. What does the same sex couple also wants pork served at the reception. Jews and muslims regard pork is unclean. Food would a court order demand. They serve at any way. Why do these court challenges appear to have a higher political purpose. There must be flower shops in washington state and bakeries in colorado that catered to same sex weddings. Why pick on the ones. That don't is this part of a larger goal to destroy what remains of what used to be known as traditional values basic pillars supported. America have included religious in the military. Both have been reflected in the stories and characters created by the iconic. Walt disney these and many others are now under attack. The walt disney company recently announced a change it's welcoming messages at all properties from ladies and gentlemen boys and girls to good evening dreamers all ages a company spokesperson notice my avoidance of gender. Specificity said the decision is in alignment with disney's inclusion and diversity policy. Now why is it. That inclusion and diversity always seem to exclude people who believe differently. Such people are now viewed as criminals in some states if they seek to apply their faith to their businesses and in the public square challenges to traditional values will continue as an older generation that live by or at least believed of them passes away younger people who have been baptized by the wo- culture in their public schools and universities seem to be willing to tolerate just about anything. What will be their new standard. Can we even call it a standard if it changes with the times the problem for individuals and nations standards of right and wrong are abandoned is where it leads. Moral anarchy has been one of the contributing factors to the collapse of empires and great nations of the past.

Joe's back home brings up about critical theory about not being practical. Is that as soon if the the whole thing is about who has powered. Who doesn't what happens when the power dynamics shift which has happened in our society as a white male heterosexual christian conservative. i would have no power whatsoever At a state university the united in other words.

I have no power whatsoever so it. It's interesting but the other part of this is let's just point out that part of the language of critical theory has to do with the imposition of culture cultural appropriation imposing your values views on other people and of course the The worst actors in history according to these critics or christian missionaries who went to foreign nations and impose their views there is no group imposing values on cultures in the in world. History like like the you know the progressive vision of the world.

It was really a scathing essay. The title of it was called. It is obscene But but really well written and worth reading will link to it at breakpoint dot org but one of the points you made in. The essay was in talking indirectly to the student was. You're importing american ideas like we. The idea that men can be. Women is younger than like the iphone. Okay and you're pretending that anything short of affirming that Is violent how can that be Oh listen same. Trans women are trans. Women is actually acknowledging authenticating the experience of being a trans woman. Which tells you that that is not a clearly not a biblical perspective but our point is is. That's not good enough. That's not woken up to say that trans women are fully women as if the body has no role is what one has to say And so what got her in. Trouble is absolutely stunning. The other thing that is being brought up in this conversation which i find just fascinating really has nothing to do with the sexual issues behind this. But the intersection -ality issues That our culture now is making us think about. And that's a word that has to do with critical theory that It's basically you add up the power dynamics and a particular person and in their relational dynamics to see who's right who's wrong. It's not who is right. Who is wrong. It's who has the most agreed status. So think about all the different ways that you can have Cultural privilege your white instead of black than you know. That's a mark against your character if you're a male instead of female unless you're trans that's a mark against your character. Fear trans instead of sis The nets mark up You know if you're Know it just goes on and on and on and by almost all Accounting of this sort of math problem that you know critical theory now forces us to to to do when it comes to all of our social dynamics chimanga and by the way congrats on pronouncing that name is looking at that and my wife and i are actually godparents of nigeria in our church and so i struggle with my wife's way better at it jim.

I hope i'm saying her her name rate at ichi as her last name but she is jerry author. She wrote a book several years ago called half of a yellow sun. Which was about the nigerian civil war. That was absolutely riveting and devastating and beautifully written. She's incredibly talented wonderful writer. I've also seen a couple of talks. She's given before she gave a ted talk that got very popular. But she's a feminist woman. She's not a christian believer. At least i don't think so. She's not public about that. And she doesn't seem to have particularly conservative politics but she lives in nigeria and she's a very successful writer. She has hosted writing workshops in nigeria for years. Now and you know as. I've learned this week in reading about this situation. Those workshops have become really important. You know people have gotten book deals out of that. And that sort of thing she's really an icon in nigeria and here to be fair in the literary world. She also wrote another book a couple years ago called americana which is got a lot of awards and has done really well. So apparently one of her former students in this workshop out of nigeria Is trans and to amanda. Was very supportive of this person and actually helped them get a book deal. They wrote a novel that was published. All that kinda stuff but a couple of years ago in an interview tim. Amman said something like you know.

"No ultimate redemption or any ultimate absolution only endless accusation so again we should not attempt to draw a parallel or equivalency between god and the spirit of the age because in point one i mentioned from a sovereign standpoint from a hierarchy of authority standpoint. The spirit of the age is a pimple. On god's rent it's not equal correct and it's already been lanced. It's defeated a deed. That's well put now. Though on now we will draw the moral case morally from an integrity from a character standpoint. Even if the spirit of the age were to come into the presence in the throne of god and claim that it had a claim against him who has demonstrated a superior love and character for us god or the spirit of the age. God god so the first point we want us we want to set some ground rules here number one. The spirit of the age is not equal in authority to god. In fact it pales by comparison and number two. The spirit of the age does not have any claim of moral equivalency with god their characters aren't even comparable on any level whatsoever. Amen amen. And i think we need to do more of this by the way not when i say us not just on this show. I mean like in our pulpits at home and our cultures. I think we you know as long as we've got a good follow up. I don't think you could just leave it there. In the era in which we live. But if you've got a good follow up. And i hope in a minute that i do. I think we more often need to lead with because he's got an you ain't highlight them apples. No what i'm saying. Yes because otherwise. We'd anticipate here like jobs friends. And then eventually god shows up and says shut your hole. Know your role here right. So he's god we're not that is ultimately the answer to everything that doesn't mean we aren't. We aren't eligible. I was gonna say title and that wouldn't be the right word. We're not eligible to at times. Get a more complete answer them at right with our own kids. The older they get the more respectful they are we. Give them more details. If they have a follow up question or even some pushback correct yes but then ultimately there is a line. I'm dad and you're not on mom. You're not he's god we aren't fair this. He's got spirit the age ain't so those two points set as the plumb line here let's address the philosophical dilemma. I believe the philosophical dilemma. Here is we are conflating belief. We're we're conflating nature with belief and behavior and i'm going to put belief in behavior together while confronting man with his sinful nature got also makes the rain fall on the just and the unjust alike god honors and blesses even those who have not received or sought any way shape or form his ultimate forgiveness. They will still bless them at times in that he gave me give you some examples. He gave intellect to materialistic scientists. So they could still. While they're teaching you that life sprung from nothing twenty billion years ago. They still come up with some really cool stuff. That relieves suffering. Don't they yes. Yeah we're that intellect come from he gave it to those rebellious materialistic scientists The creativity unbelieving artists to instill beauty imagination. How many of us while we were locked down the past year when and did things like. Let's go watch all the mcu movies again. Let's go watch all the star wars movies again with our kids and get some form of escape enjoyment worth the talent the imagination the creativity for those achievements. Where did they come from from god. Do those achievements at times. We point out the indirectly. Honor him right. We just that with loki. But do they ever truly really directly do so almost never and he gave them gifts anyway. Right yeah okay. How about an unbeliever or a pagan were wrong. Religion believing first responder or soldier does that individuals still have courage to lay down their lives for us in our place. Yes yes meaning that though. Man's nature is sinful since man's still carries the image of god his creation god's still grants uneven unbelievers the common grace to be blessed and be a blessing to others and in that pursuit they are held for no. They're held accountable for no sins but their own. Meanwhile the spirit of the age says that you cannot do good or have your works for others accepted as good until you accept that because of the way you look and or the class of people you belong to or what you believe you are bad but only those who belong there for to certain races classes or have other beliefs are inherently bad while those who do not believe what the spirit of the age does are inherently good regardless of what is their actual character so for example a gay black man who teaches year olds how to work has nothing to seek forgiveness for while a straight white business owner who created a product that millions enjoy and maybe employs millions more. He's considered unforgivable because he voted for trump or dead named bruce jenner on twitter. Once see the guy who created that scary a video game for nine year olds. I can't remember what it's called. Fat freddy's or something like that. Okay the guy who founded mozilla for example. Okay cancelled gone wrong. Thank wrong belief. You're out even though god confronts our sinful nature because he is just on some level he still honors and allows us to share in the blessings of our good behavior now. Good behavior does not ultimately reconcile us fully to god. Because we still need atonement for the sins. We either still behave or believe due to our sinful nature but god can walk and chew gum. At the same time. He can do mercy and judgment at the same time so even the unrepentant are permitted a life of service honor and indoor blessing. This side of heaven may be a phenomenal marriage children who rise up and call them blessed. Donald trump went said. I've never asked for forgiveness. Because i've never done anything wrong right And yet say whatever you want about. Donald trump could anybody really if they were hooked up to sodium pentothal a sodium pentothal drip.

Simone than in ultima did anyway exactly you have to always look at who benefits right. The vaccine manufacturers are making incalculable thumbs from having a clear path path clue the government to sell their product every man woman and child on the planet and in addition to that prophet motive that we've just laid out for them. We've also thrones human beings to the side because certain numbers human beings we'll be harmed is an absolute fact. And i think we're seeing a split in society between people that care about all people and people that just care about the collective you know i listen to people on the other side who save at dickey's things like oh only thousand people have died. Only five thousand people died. Only one hundred thousand people have died. It matters if it's your person so they're talking about myocarditis for example in the young people and people say things like well. It's only five hundred children. Whose gotten myocarditis what he's talking about. What if that was your son who couldn't do any sports. Any activity needed to be heart medicines for six months. If that's considered important people on other sides seem to think that's unimportant it's really tragic. I wanna come back to hydroxy chloroquine In a moment as well as the i wanna go to myocarditis. And she just cited it. That's heart inflammation often associated with viral outbreaks. And last summer we almost didn't have a college football season because a couple of major conferences were making the claim of myocarditis being associated uniquely with covert. And they didn't want to take the risk until doctors from mayo and duke and other places came forward and said. That's a scam. We we we monitor myocarditis for everything every viral outbreak every year year round. There's nothing unique about this and we ended up having a college football season. Thankfully without any major incidents. What i find ironic now though is we couldn't potentially at this time last year. Play college football because of myocarditis. But now we're going to tell college football players they probably can't play this fall without a vaccination that may actually ended up causing them myocarditis. Can you talk more about that. Simone i what i focused on. He's got this. Myocarditis was known since april or maybe even march they had reported hundreds of cases in israel and they continue to roll it out to help a young people and pretenders oats not existing until people like myself conflict and make enough of bus. If the american people start waking up and then they start having to pay attention we. Fda is now the fbi. I think is now or the. Tv is meeting tomorrow kind of emergency meeting to discuss this. But if we weren't putting pressure on situations like this we will just let it roll under the rug. And i'm hearing from patients who've been hard. We have a patient who's coming on were representing. Who's eighteen years old. Who had three strokes following a shot. We have another person who's got very harmed in his bed. Bedrest from myocarditis and all these powers that be least people are saying these people don't exist or they're crazy or coincidental and we're not going to stand for it. We're standing up for the american people looking at the data and as a physician simone cousteau these covert vaccinations. In your opinion america. Frontline doctors ruled that seven months ago. That if you're under fifty shots a prohibited. We base that recommendation on the fact that the cartoon implications are unknown and the risk under age fifty is is virtually zero from of death from kobe's nineteen virtually zero those numbers from the bbc. You can't get an experimental medication with unknown risk to a group of human beings who don't have any serious life threatening the obvious and that's our position it hasn't changed we stand by our initial recommendation. Which is that. We can consider it if you're over age seventy to discourage it because there are safer options for you such drugs an african so that's addition hasn't changed. What has changed though. Is we think the risk of the shots is much worse than the initial when you look at the government's own database there's database. The numbers of jet in relation in time to people who've gotten shop is astronomical in relation to kobe in quarter one twenty twenty one compared to quarter one twenty twenty twenty and eighteen twenty and eighteen in numbers of vaccine deaths have gone up. Twenty thousand percents. Twenty thousand percents. There's more desk. In the first four months of twenty twenty one back scenes triumph fifteen years.

Why Were Scientists Sending Ex-CDC Director Dr. Redfield Death Threats?
"I want you to read along at home with me. This epic times headline. After Dr Redfield had come out and broken the dam on this And made it safe amongst leftist, not conservatives. We always believe in the truth, but left the stone. He made it safe to talk about, you know, Trump left office. At that point, They've done all the damage they could by playing down the lab leak hypothesis. Redfield goes public and look at this headline. Epic times. Jack Phillips, former CDC director. Redfield received death threats from scientists for supporting Wuhan Lab League theory, Hm. Folks, This is like a really, really On Put down herbal spy novel The only downside to the novelist, it's all real. He was getting death threats. Why we're scientists. Don't know their political affiliation. But I can make some assumptions so eager to get Dr Redfield to shut up that they literally wanted him dead. That's what a death threat is, and that's what literally means. Don't you think that's kind of strange? That scientists who was supposed to believe in science Questioning guy who's seen all the data who tells me believe it came from a lab that they're so panicked that they're actually sending him death
