Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey

We're excited to be talking to Ben Shapiro, host of "The Ben Shapiro Show" and author of the new book, "The Authoritarian Moment." There's a lot to discuss in today's polarized political and cultural spheres, and we start with one of the most contentious topics: vaccines. Just as concerning as the virus itself is the constant misinformation and flip-flopping done by the media; if anything, they have only themselves to blame for vaccine hesitancy in America. Unfortunately, this issue, like so many others, has been weaponized by the Left to push their authoritarian agenda. Shapiro's new book deals with the topic of authoritarianism, plainly laying out the problem facing America. But what solutions are there? Should conservatives consider some sort of collective action to resist the behemoth of leftist ideology, or is a more libertarian approach the way to go? Either way, it seems like more and more Americans are seeing the red flags, and the time for complacency is over.---Today's Sponsors: Good Ranchers products are individually wrapped, vacuum sealed, & ready to grill (which helps eliminate waste!).

We start the day by talking to Ruth Edmonds, who is running in the GOP primary to represent Ohio's 15th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. Edmonds is a stalwart Christian and conservative, and crucially, she plans to actually fight for those ideals in the halls of Congress. Then, we move to a fun topic to close out the week: conspiracy theories. Weirdly, the "Flat Earth" theory is somehow gaining traction in some Christian circles, despite not really being supported by Scripture, let alone basic science. We talk about some other strange theories that listeners brought to our attention, like where missing socks really go or what's really going on with Joe Biden. Someone even had a theory about Olympic gymnast Simone Biles, which leads to a discussion on her seemingly abrupt withdrawal from the competition.---Today's Sponsor: Good Ranchers products are individually wrapped, vacuum sealed, & ready to grill (which helps eliminate waste!).

Today we're wading into controversial waters, discussing COVID, the vaccine, lockdowns, and masks. We highlight some of the media's hypocrisy on the pandemic and point out the absurdity of returning to tight pandemic restrictions after a year's worth of evidence that they aren't very effective. Then we welcome fellow BlazeTV host & author of the recent bestseller, "Faucian Bargain," Steve Deace back to the show to discuss the facts that the Left would prefer to stay in the dark. Steve breaks down some of the historical context behind herd immunity and vaccines, along with the politicization of the pandemic, with the media trying to push a narrative that only right-wing Trump supporters are hesitant about the vaccine or don't want vaccine passports. A claim that, as Steve points out, isn't supported by any data. Another important thing to consider is the way Sweden has handled the pandemic. Despite the country's mostly left-wing way of doing things, Sweden never forced masks or lockdowns on its people. The results are a thorn in the side of the media and other governments that want to push draconian pandemic restrictions. We also discuss whether the claim that getting the vaccine is "loving thy neighbor" is theologically sound. ---Today's Sponsors: Good Ranchers safely delivers American craft beef and better-than-organic chicken, right to your door!

Today we're thrilled to have another chance to speak with author and theologian Dr. Voddie Baucham. First, Dr. Baucham gives everyone an update on his health and how he's been doing recently after his trip to the hospital, and then we get into the details of his new book, "Fault Lines: The Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism's Looming Catastrophe." The book seeks to expose and highlight the dangerous side of leftist buzzwords like "critical justice" and "social justice." Dr. Baucham traces the history of critical race theory back to its Marxist roots and how these ideologies start with mistaken assumptions about oppression and "hegemonic power." We discuss accusations of white supremacy in the Southern Baptist Convention, how Christians should respond to corporate guilt, and much more.---Dr. Voddie Baucham's Fault Lines: The Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism's Looming Catastrophe book https://bit.ly/3xbOC7I---Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs helps you relax & recharge by getting in touch with your creative side.

Lots to discuss in today's episode. We start with a message of encouragement that hopefully is familiar to all Christians. No matter what happens on Earth, followers of Christ get to rejoice in the good news of the Gospel and what comes after our worldly lives. Then, we move on to debunk some ridiculous misinformation being pushed by Democrats regarding curriculum legislation in Texas. The Left is up in arms, claiming that Texas Republicans are trying to prevent schools from teaching about MLK or the KKK. But is that really what's happening? It may not surprise you that Democrats aren't being very honest about this one. Lastly, we address the drama surrounding David Platt and McLean Bible Church, and the "accusations" that Pastor Platt has gone woke.---Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs encourages your kids to be creative with subscription boxes for both boy & girls.

Today we're talking to author J.D. Vance. Vance is currently running to represent his state of Ohio in the U.S. Senate, and we talk a bit about his politics and how his opinion on Donald Trump changed from 2016 to 2020. Then, we discuss J.D.'s faith and how his views on God have shaped his goals throughout his life. We also touch on topics like abortion, Big Tech censorship, wokeness and white privilege, and how China's CCP is harming America.---Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs helps you relax & recharge by getting in touch with your creative side & making something beautiful with their Creative Woman Club.

Today we're going over the drama surrounding TPUSA and a porn star named Brandi Love. Love was kicked out of a TPUSA event after parents complained about her presence, and that kicked off a ton of arguments on social media about whether a conservative event should tolerate an adult actress. This raises a deeper question of what really is conservatism? Remember, our founders did not establish any state religion, but they knew that a self-governing republic must have a religious and moral population to survive. So, to truly conserve our country, we need to include our understanding of morality, which stems from Christianity.---Today's Sponsors: Patriot Mobile is America's ONLY Christian conservative wireless carrier & donates a portion of every dollar to organizations that fight for causes you and I care about.

Today we're talking about modesty, what the Bible says about it, and the "controversy" surrounding Matthew West's "Modest Is Hottest" video. West caused quite a stir on social media with the now-deleted video and reignited the ongoing debate about modesty and purity culture. Although there are certainly some harmful aspects to purity culture as many of us experience it, the Bible gives clear examples of what God's expectations are regarding modesty.---Today's Sponsors: Bambee provides a dedicated HR manager - available by phone, email, or real-time chat - for small business owners!

Today we're talking about kids, parenthood, and progressivism, as represented in a few news stories that have been going around. First, we talk about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle receiving an award for planning to have only two kids. Apparently the Left is very impressed with their environmentally friendly approach to parenthood. One thing the Left gets wrong about kids is that they are most certainly not a burden on society or resources. Then, we talk about the bizarre story of a trans couple who have a baby and the trans woman (a man) tries to breastfeed the baby and is unsuccessful ... because he's a man. Lastly, we have the singer Halsey, who dedicated her new album cover to pregnant and postpartum women.---Today's Sponsors: Good Ranchers safely delivers American craft beef and better than organic chicken, right to your door!
