Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey

Today we're joined by one of your favorite guests, Jennifer Lahl, president of The Center for Bioethics and Culture and documentary filmmaker, to discuss the surrogacy industry, why it's in the news, and how women are being targeted to sell their eggs. The rates of single men buying surrogate children have grown significantly in the past few years – Jennifer breaks down why this raises some red flags. We also discuss how this crosses over into gender theory and the exploitation of young people. Jennifer's upcoming documentary, "The Detransition Diaries: Saving Our Sisters," dives into stories of de-transitioning and the medical industry's harm on young people and women's fertility, and you can support it here!---Today's Sponsors: Good Ranchers — change the way you shop for meat today by visiting GoodRanchers.com/ALLIE & use promo code 'ALLIE' to save $30 off your order, get free express shipping, and donate life-changing food to kids in need!Annie's Kit Clubs — all subscriptions are month-to-month, & you can cancel anytime!

Today we’re debunking the recent stories that claim Republicans voted no on a measure aiming to lower the price of insulin. The parliamentarian of the Senate blocked this measure due to the Democrat proposal breaking budgetary rules, but the Democrats used this to say that Republicans were against lowering costs altogether. We then discuss Trump's and Biden’s recent history with insulin price caps. Then, we’re joined by Senator Tim Scott to discuss his new book, "America, a Redemption Story." We get his take on the state of the country and hear about his upbringing and what led him down the path to becoming a senator.---Today's Sponsors: Genucel products take care of fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, and more without any risky procedures.

Today we’re discussing a few recent news stories, most notably the FBI’s raid of Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago and how this underlines the overreaching, partisan power of the institutions that are supposed to serve and protect us. We talk about why conservatives need to understand the threats we’re facing as a country and start electing Republican leaders who will use the power at their disposal to push back against bad policy and dismantle evil institutions. Then, we dive more into how the progressive powers are cracking down on dissent by randomly removing conservative content, conveniently just before the midterm elections. We touch on the new spending bill and all the terrible effects it will have on taxpayers, discuss Stacey Abrams’ bad take on abortion and faith, and offer a call to action for men.---Today's Sponsors: A'Del Cosmetics — go to adelnaturalcosmetics.com and enter promo code "ALLIE" for 25% off your first order!Raycon — go to BuyRaycon.com/ALLIE today to save 15% off your Raycon order.Bambee — let Bambee run your HR... get your free HR audit at Bambee.com/ALLIE.Good Ranchers — change the way you shop for meat today by visiting GoodRanchers.com/ALLIE & use promo code 'ALLIE' to save $30 off your order, get free express shipping, and donate life-changing food to kids in need!---Show Links:Daily Wire: "FBI Searches Trump’s Florida Home Mar-a-Lago in Document Investigation" https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-says-mar-a-lago-home-raided-by-fbi-agents-11660000571New York Post: "Trump says FBI raided Mar-a-Lago, broke into safe" https://nypost.com/2022/08/08/trump-confirms-fbi-raided-and-occupied-his-florida-home-and-mar-a-lago/Wall Street Journal: "FBI Searches Trump’s Florida Home Mar-a-Lago in Document Investigation" https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-says-mar-a-lago-home-raided-by-fbi-agents-11660000571New York Post: "Judge who OK’d Mar-a-Lago raid Obama donor once linked to Jeffrey Epstein" https://nypost.com/2022/08/09/judge-who-approved-fbi-raid-on-mar-a-lago-once-linked-to-jeffrey-epstein/TheBlaze: "Stacey Abrams says being pro-choice is part of her faith, and according to her faith 'you protect the vulnerable and you wrap them in your love'" https://www.theblaze.com/news/stacey-abrams-abortion-faith-georgia?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitterNew York Post: "How Dems’ spending bill hammers Americans with billions in new taxes" https://nypost.com/2022/08/08/dems-spending-bill-hammers-americans-with-billions-in-new-taxes/---Previous Episodes Mentioned:Ep 656 | The ‘Family Diversity’ Myth | Guest: Dr. Brad Wilcox https://apple.co/3SCSgUbEp 630 | January 6th: The Scary, Secret Truth | Guest: Julie Kelly https://apple.co/3JIHAzkWatch Ep 630 for free on BlazeTV here!---Buy Allie's book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love: https://alliebethstuckey.com/bookRelatable merchandise – use promo code 'ALLIE10' for a discount: https://shop.blazemedia.com/collections/allie-stuckey Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we’re joined by Dr. Brad Wilcox, professor of sociology at the University of Virginia and senior fellow at the Institute for Family Studies, to discuss the importance of family structure in our lives and in society. Rates of idleness and incarceration are significantly higher among young men who didn’t grow up with a father in the home versus those who did. We discuss the data that supports this in Dr. Wilcox’s study “Life Without Father": Less College, Less Work, and More Prison for Young Men Growing Up Without Their Biological Father, which provides evidence that present fathers in the home statistically prepare boys for safer childhoods and more successful adulthoods. Then, we discuss the progressive movement’s push to replace family with the state and the hypocrisy of progressive policymakers regarding their family policy agendas.---Today's Sponsors: Good Ranchers — change the way you shop for meat today by visiting GoodRanchers.com/ALLIE & use promo code 'ALLIE' to save $30 off your order, get free express shipping, and donate life-changing food to kids in need!Carly Jean Los Angeles — use promo code 'ALLIEBASIC' to save 20% off your first order at CarlyJeanLosAngeles.com!Reliefband — save 20% off plus free shipping at Reliefband.com when you use promo code 'ALLIE'!---Show Links:IFS: "‘Life Without Father’: Less College, Less Work, and More Prison for Young Men Growing Up Without Their Biological Father" https://ifstudies.org/blog/life-without-father-less-college-less-work-and-more-prison-for-young-men-growing-up-without-their-biological-father---Buy Allie's book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love: https://alliebethstuckey.com/bookRelatable merchandise – use promo code 'ALLIE10' for a discount: https://shop.blazemedia.com/collections/allie-stuckey Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we're joined by Alexandra DeSanctis, pro-life writer for National Review and co-author of "Tearing us Apart: How Abortion Harms Everything and Solves Nothing." Her recent article went in-depth on abortion laws at the state level, where she made clear that no law prohibits doctors from treating women with ectopic pregnancies. We discuss whether abortions and miscarriages are really treated differently, what happened with the recent Kansas abortion ballot measure, and how documented stories of abortion can reveal the true horrors of the procedure. Then, we talk about how her new book gives the pro-life movement the best evidence and support possible to argue their case in post-Roe America.---Today's Sponsors: HealthyCell — get 20% off your first order at HealthyCell.com/ALLIE, use promo code 'ALLIE'!A'Del — go to adelnaturalcosmetics.com and enter promo code "ALLIE" for 25% off your first order!PublicSq. — download the PublicSq app from the App Store or Google Play, create a free account, & begin your search for freedom-loving businesses!Good Ranchers — change the way you shop for meat today by visiting GoodRanchers.com/ALLIE & use promo code 'ALLIE' to save $30 off your order, get free express shipping, and donate life-changing food to kids in need!Blaze Socks — get your Blaze patriotic socks at BlazeSocks.com, use promo code 'ALLIESOCKS'!---Today's Links:National Review “How Every State Pro-Life Law Handles Ectopic Pregnancy and Miscarriage” https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/07/how-every-state-pro-life-law-handles-ectopic-pregnancy-and-miscarriage/LiveAction “Minnesota report reveals five babies born alive after abortion in 2021” https://www.liveaction.org/news/minnesota-babies-born-alive-abortion/---Buy Allie's book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love: https://alliebethstuckey.com/bookRelatable merchandise – use promo code 'ALLIE10' for a discount: https://shop.blazemedia.com/collections/allie-stuckey Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we're talking to Jason Buttrill, head writer and researcher for Glenn Beck as well as a former Defense Department intelligence analyst, about what's going on between China and Taiwan and what Nancy Pelosi is doing on her trip to Taiwan. Officially, Pelosi went to "defend democracy" or something like that, but since when do Democrats actually care about that? Jason points out that Taiwan is a major world supplier of computer chips, and many are speculating that Pelosi is working to secure chip manufacturing in the U.S. before China invades Taiwan. We also cover some of the history of the region and why there is so much global drama and confusion surrounding Taiwan. We also briefly cover other world events, like the recent killing of an al Qaeda leader in Afghanistan by the U.S. and the latest on the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia. And, we discuss a recent op-ed by none other than George Soros in which he defends his pumping millions of dollars into the campaigns of left-wing politicians.---Today's Sponsors: HealthyCell — get 20% off your first order at HealthyCell.com/ALLIE, use promo code 'ALLIE'!Patriot Mobile — go to PatriotMobile.com/ALLIE or call 972-PATRIOT & use promo code 'ALLIE' to get free activation!Birch Gold — protect your future with gold.

Today, we have a fascinating interview with Jeannette Cooper, a mom who lost custody of her child three years ago for not fully, unquestioningly accepting her daughter's claim that she was transgender. We discuss Jeannette's experience, and she talks about how she believes there is a social aspect to the sudden surge in kids who claim not to be the gender they were born as and what it was like to have to basically be excised from her daughter's life over this issue. Jeannette also tells us how she's been working over the past three years to raise awareness about what the state is doing in these cases of "trans" kids, fighting to prevent her situation from being repeated.---Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs — all subscriptions are month-to-month, and you can cancel anytime!

Today, we're mainly talking about the popular conservative group Moms for Liberty being suspended from Twitter for calling out a California bill that would make it easier for minors to transition genders — as well as some of the bigger political and theological themes surrounding the story. We discuss how groups like M4L and others calling out the sexual perversion in schools and society in general is working, putting the groomers on the defensive and forcing them to publicly defend their depravity. But if social media platforms are going to start banning the word "groomer," that leaves a very important question: What will our new word for them be? There was also a warning recently put out by the FDA detailing dangers associated with giving kids puberty blockers, and in the U.K., a clinic was recently forced to shut down over the way it was doing "gender affirming" care.---Timecodes:[1:24] Murder mystery party[4:37] Moms for Liberty suspended on Twitter/PayPal[22:23] Banning the word "groomer"[33:46] The true harm of this ideology[43:19] God is a God of order---Today's Sponsors: Cozy Earth — go to CozyEarth.com/ALLIE & use promo code 'ALLIE' at checkout to save 35% off your order!Carly Jean Los Angeles — use promo code 'ALLIEBASIC' to save 20% off your first order at CarlyJeanLosAngeles.com!Covenant Eyes — go to coveyes.com/ALLIE to try it FREE for 30 days!Blaze Socks — get your Blaze patriotic socks at BlazeSocks.com, use promo code 'ALLIESOCKS'!---Today's Links:National Review: "Moms for Liberty Locked Out of Twitter after Criticizing California Gender-Transition Bill" https://www.nationalreview.com/news/moms-for-liberty-locked-out-of-twitter-after-criticizing-california-gender-transition-bill/The Daily Wire: "FDA Officials Warn Of Brain Swelling, Vision Loss In Minors Using Puberty Blockers" https://www.dailywire.com/news/fda-officials-warn-of-brain-swelling-vision-loss-in-minors-using-puberty-blockersLQBTQ Nation: "Twitter enforces its ban on calling people groomers as anti-LGBTQ hate speech" https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2022/07/twitter-enforces-ban-calling-people-groomers-anti-lgbtq-hate-speech/Daily Dot: "A political memes subreddit kicked off an internet-wide call to get baseless ‘groomer’ claims classified as hate speech" https://www.dailydot.com/debug/reddit-post-inspires-calls-twitter-ban-anti-lgbtq-groomer-slur/Daily Mail: "Courage of the parents, patients and whistleblowers who refused to be silenced is revealed as controversial Tavistock children's transgender clinic is to SHUT after damning report warned it was 'not safe'" https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11059641/Courage-parents-patients-whistleblowers-revealed-Tavistock-childrens-clinic-SHUT.html---Previous Episodes Mentioned:Ep 639 | The Queerification of American Kids | Guest: James Lindsay https://apple.co/3vyoczgEp 636 | How BDSM, Porn, & Pedophilia Are Tied to Transgender Ideology | Guest: Genevieve Gluck https://apple.co/3bpKtIr---Buy Allie's book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love: https://alliebethstuckey.com/bookRelatable merchandise – use promo code 'ALLIE10' for a discount: https://shop.blazemedia.com/collections/allie-stuckey Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we're talking to our friend Steve Deace, BlazeTV host of the "Steve Deace Show," about some deeply theological and political subjects. We start with a discussion on eschatology and where Steve thinks we are right now in terms of the end times. And, Steve gives historical context for what's going on in America, and we discuss whether or not the West will actually survive the "Spirit of the Age." To that end, we talk about how to succeed as a Christ-centered movement while also having allies that we disagree with on big topics like the definition of marriage. Lastly, Steve tells us what he thinks the next 10 years will have in store for America and the West as a whole.---Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs — all subscriptions are month-to-month, & you can cancel anytime!

Today, we're talking to Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, an epidemiologist and professor of medicine at Stanford University. Dr. Bhattacharya was one of the earliest and loudest voices against widespread COVID lockdowns and other heavy-handed government policies aimed at fighting the pandemic. Now, many cities are re-implementing destructive COVID policies that have no history of success. We discuss why they would ever do that and why the media and government considered it a "noble" lie to deceive the public about COVID. We also talk about the corruption of Dr. Fauci and the real reason Donald Trump never fired him. Then, we discuss SSRI medication that's meant to combat depression and why the reasoning for the medication's effectiveness isn't accurate. Lastly, we talk about the major case of fraud found regarding the sale of Alzheimer's medication. We wrap things up with Dr. Bhattacharya's thoughts on how public health can be reformed and win back public trust.---Today's Sponsors: EdenPURE — get 3 Thunderstorm Air Purifiers for under $200 at EdenPureDeals.com, use promo code 'ALLIE'!Carly Jean Los Angeles — use promo code 'ALLIEBASIC' to save 20% off your first order at CarlyJeanLosAngeles.com!CrowdHealth — get your first 6 months for just $99/month.
