Ep 649 | How Bad Theology & Corrupt Politics Devastated Black America | Guest: Vince Ellison

Today we're speaking with Melissa Chen, a writer for the Spectator and an expert on China. Melissa describes how the Biden administration's approach to China (or lack thereof) compares to what the Trump administration has done. Basically all that has happened so far is that Biden has reversed many of Trump's executive actions and orders regarding China, and his administration banned the term "China virus," so that's just great. Seems like the current president is more concerned with moral posturing around race rather than the geopolitical threat presented by the CCP. Then, we give a quick rundown of what's going on with Trump's impeachment. The Senate voted to move forward with the trial, but conviction is very unlikely. As we've said before, Trump is often clumsy with his words, but he definitely did not incite violence on January 6. -- Today's Sponsors: Patriot Mobile: Get free PREMIERE activation where they set up the phone for you, and get a special gift, with the offer code 'ALLIE'.

Today we're discussing cancel culture through a theological lens. The leftist outrage mob came for a longtime NYT writer reported to have used the "N-word" in a meeting. From a biblical perspective, Christians don't need to be worried about cancel culture, since even though the standards of the world are always changing, God's standards aren't. Then, we talk to Professor William Jacobson, who created CriticalRace.org as a resource for parents and students to see what kind of ideology universities are teaching. --- Today's Sponsor: Annie's Kit Club: No matter your crafting experience, you can make a picture-perfect project you'll be proud to display.

Despite cynicism from conservatives, many of the Super Bowl commercials were pretty funny this year. Some, like the Jeep commercial featuring Bruce Springsteen, tried to virtue-signal to the Right, but didn't accomplish much since the Right isn't a fan of Springsteen and the Left decried the association the commercial made between Christianity and patriotism. Some on the Left are declaring the day after the Super Bowl "Colin Kaepernick Appreciation Day," but it seems like the millionaire activist has a lot to appreciate himself. Switching gears to talk about a more serious issue, we delve into the effect lockdowns are having on the mental health of our kids. This seems to be part of a larger social experiment by progressives to break down long-standing facets of our society, like family and gender norms. At the end of the day, a top-down approach to governing goes against human nature. --- Today's Sponsor: Built Bar is the healthiest thing you'll do today!

Today we're excited to sit down with Baylor University professor Dr. Christina Crenshaw, who has recently made headlines for questioning the Biden administration's expansion of protections for transgender people. A small but loud group of students have been calling for her to be fired, but Dr. Crenshaw is holding strong against the cancel culture mob. -- Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs have the perfect subscription box for both boys & girls.

A New York Times opinion piece recommends the Biden administration create a "reality czar" to combat misinformation. That couldn't possibly go wrong, could it? The right to free speech and the truth itself are a big problem for those with totalitarian aspirations. Speaking of totalitarian, Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee of Texas has introduced a gun control bill that acts as though the Second Amendment doesn't exist. And, we take a look into the horrific allegations against Ariel Robinson, which the media has been strangely quiet on. --- Today's Sponsors: Built Bar: Eat healthier & tastier food - Built Bar is healthier than your favorite protein bar & better-tasting than your favorite candy bar.

Today we're joined by school choice advocate Corey DeAngelis to discuss the driving force behind the closure of public schools. Here's a hint: It's not really because of the pandemic. Corey has tons of information to share regarding the problems that teachers' unions pose to an efficient and effective education system. Then, we delve into the controversy surrounding two Texas pastors who referred to Kamala Harris as "Jezebel." -- Previous Episodes on School Choice: Ep 353: Our Kids Are Learning What?! | Guest: Chris Rufo Ep 343: Equipping Yourself to Homeschool | Guest: Leigh Bortins Ep 329: Exposing the Mafia-Like Tactics of Teachers Unions | Guest: Rebecca Friedrichs Ep 279: The Corruption of Public Education & the Need for School Choice | Guest: Corey A.
