What's in the news this week?
I don't know.
I haven't read the notes yet.
The Russian mercenary coup that lasted less than 24 hours is the thing that happened.
Wagner Private Military Company took over the command center for the Ukraine war and the military facilities in Rostov and then started heading towards Moscow.
Did you say that's a lot of information?
There's a lot of information, a lot of Russian names.
Yegvini Progojin.
It was known as Putin's chef.
Chef?
I didn't know he was a chef first.
An owner of catering businesses before he became a mercenary boss says it was just a march for justice.
Mercs to stand down to avoid Russian bloodshed.
I think originally he claimed that the Russian military had airstriked his Wagner group people or something.
So there are mercenary groups, so they're not actual soldiers?
It's a mercenary group that was then hired by Putin to help fight the war.
They're not officially part of...
I don't think they're officially part of the Russian army.
I could have that wrong.
Soldiers of Fortune.
They're like a mercenary group that has been fighting with the Russian army.
So someone else just said, like, oh, and I'll give you money and now you work for me.
Yeah, it's like the army in the game of thrown.
Putin's like main, what do you call it?
His main military guy.
And now he's turning on him and then he fled to Belarus or something.
So mercenaries turning on Russia is obviously bad for Russia, but I wouldn't really call that a coup because it's not the Russian forces themselves.
I think when they started turning and marching towards Moscow, I think there was a worry that they were going to try to off Putin or take over the government.
Yeah, because it would have been a coup.
Just an invasion if it came from the outside.
I think it's from the inside, it's a coup.
A coup is still Russia.
They're Russian citizens.
But you can do a coup in another country, can't you?
Like, a coup doesn't mean that it was from what's happening.
You can definitely support a coup in another country.
Oh, I think a coup can be either the official military or non-military.
It's just overthrowing a government, kind of unexpectedly.
Yeah, it can be over.
But according to Alexa, it has to be successful or it's not a coup anymore.
So it's an attempted coup.
I mean, wouldn't that be a good thing, though?
I feel like if somebody else just stepped in Putin's place.
The debate now has been, Putin's awful, but the U.S. is familiar with him and his style.
If somebody like Progozhin took over, he could actually be worse than Putin.
He might still have all the same goals as Putin, but be either more brutal or not as sympathetic to the West, even less so than Putin.
It's like change always causes instability, you know?
Yeah.
What is it?
The devil you know versus.
The devil you know.
Yeah.
Then I said it.
And you said it.
But Biden said that Putin is clearly losing the war in Iraq.
It's good that he's going to lose that war.
Yeah.
That was close.
That was relief.
That was a close one.
Delinsky says they will not have any elections until after the war and martial law is over.
Oh, that's good.
I mean, that's, yeah, that makes sense, obviously.
It's efficient, you know.
Yeah, you can't, you're not allowed to have elections, during.
I think we usually have elections.
But if there was a war, I wonder in the United States, if somebody was attacking the United States on the United States, you know, sovereign land.
We had elections like during the Civil War.
We had elections.
That's true.
During World War II.
I think we'd still have elections.
We'd just have to wear masks and do mail-in ballots.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wait a minute.
There is a war going on.
You're right.
We had an election during the Civil War.
And it's kind of, it's weird because we were arguing, no, we're still the same country.
You can't leave us.
But we didn't take their votes for president.
You don't think they like going to the polling places in the South?
So it's kind of, it's just kind of a weird thing.
It's a weird ass.
How did that work?
Did they just not count any votes in the South?
I imagine, like you said, there were no polling places.
They're like, we have a president.
It's Jefferson Davis.
He's a great man.
Seems like Travis is kind of mad about this.
Are you?
No, I'm fine.
South will rise.
No, I'm fine.
It's fine.
The South still exists in our hearts.
Oh, no.
This is like the Roseanne moment this week.
They're going to take you out of context.
Be like, Travis said Jefferson Davis is a great man.
The South was right.
My comment, the South will rise again.
What happened with Roseanne?
I saw that she said something got shot.
She was on, I think it was, was it Theo Vaughan's podcast, I think?
And she was, they were talking about her getting canceled and what you're allowed to say and what you're not allowed to say.
And while she was rambling and sort of saying things sarcastically, she said, no one died in the Holocaust.
And she said, and then she said something along the lines of, but Jews should die or something.
But she's Jewish.
But she was sort of rambling and doing that thing where you're in the voice of these are things you're not allowed to say.
And you'd get in trouble if you said this.
And then the headline on TMZ and elsewhere was, Roseanne says no one died in the Holocaust and that Jews should die now.
So she was like, no one died in the Holocaust.
Right.
And you have to read the article to find out, oh, she's being sarcastic.
Yeah.
So that what I just said is now going to get clipped.
Right.
So, I mean.
So did they intend?
They must have intentionally taken that out of context.
That's what it's got to be on purpose.
They do that sometimes.
That's just stupid.
It's stupid.
It's been a while.
They've done that on occasion.
They do it occasionally.
Well, last week we talked about Hunter Biden avoiding jail time.
After that, an IRS whistleblower revealed how the Department of Justice wasn't prosecuting the Bidens for worse crimes and revealed a WhatsApp message from Hunter that is interesting.
Incriminating.
And he said, I am sitting here with my father, and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled.
This is like a spy movie or something.
Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand.
Wink.
And now.
And now means tonight.
Tonight.
And Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction.
I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.
He's talking like a bond villain with the bond villain being like, I'm waiting with my father.
It's like the real villains right next to me.
And he specifically invokes his father and everyone his father knows.
You can't get more direct.
He says it twice, too.
He says at the beginning and the end, he bookends, I'm sitting here with my father.
So this is to a Chinese businessman.
This is my father.
And just his tone is so weird because Biden himself always tries to portray Hunter as, oh, I'm proud of him and he's a good kid with addiction and all this stuff.
Every time you read anything he says or does, he sounds just like a sinister, awful person.
He does talk like a villain.
I have some friends that know him, and he's not.
He's actually a very cool guy.
Like to hang out with him.
I'm sure he's funny.
He's funny.
I'm sure he'd be fun to hang out with.
I'm sure he's one of those kind of people where he's good at getting people to like him.
But when you some of his other leaked text messages are him cursing at his mom and you know, just saying horrible stuff about other members of his family, it's just I mean, the life of the party, the charismatic guy, you know, that has the dark side.
I think it is.
It's that dark triad kind of stuff where he gets people to like him, but he's a messed up.
Maybe he's a dark, disturbed figure.
And it's like how people were in love with Ted Bundy when he was on death row.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Very charismatic likes.
I thought that was a confusion.
He was two years old.
If there's two people trapped likes is Jefferson Davis at 10 Bundy.
But I just defended Hunter Biden, so let's just remember that.
But, you know, this is so blatant, and Biden's not going to get impeached over this.
Well, the one thing that was interesting to me is that this wasn't while Biden was in office, right?
This was in 2017.
2017.
But the kind of context of it does make it seem like we're going to use these connections as long as I'm able to do this.
And now, Biden said he was asked by a reporter if he was actually in the room.
They're saying no.
And Hunter's lawyer said, oh, my client had an addiction, so you can't rely on things he said.
And, you know, it's that thing where, at the very least, stuff like this seems to show that Biden lied when he claimed he never discussed anything business related.
No, I never talked about business.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, it seems unlikely that a conversation like that would happen if Joe Biden had never discussed any business.
Right.
I mean, I think that's the issue.
So he's lying about this connection.
Yeah.
If Bill Clinton can lie about having an affair and that gets him impeached, why wouldn't it something like this?
It was a different time.
It was a different time.
I think it was a different time.
The 90s.
But also, maybe he's talking about his priest.
I'm sitting here with his father.
My father.
Father, you know, Johnson.
What if he's talking about like Father Abraham?
I'm sitting here with Father Abraham and he's in the room right now because he was so high.
And it's possible that Father Abraham never discussed business with him because he had many sons.
He had many sons.
That is possible.
I'm one of them, and so are you.
But Father Abraham was eventually impeached for calling his wife his sister.
You lied about that.
It was a different time.
It was a tough time.
He was impeached.
You know, guys, we're going into this situation.
It's kind of hairy.
I'm going to say you're my sister.
What do you think?
She's like, well, technically, I am.
Technically, I am.
Let's go with that.
I'm cracking up reading Genesis because that happens like three times.
Yeah, he's like, didn't work out last time.
Didn't work out last time.
God was really mad.
Well, Abraham does it twice.
And then, like, Isaac does it.
Or Isaac, yeah.
I think Isaac does it.
And then Ilhan Omer is doing kind of crazy.
But she's not lying about it.
Yeah.
No, she's lying.
She's calling her brother her husband.
Yeah.
That's true.
That's so true.
It's the other way around.
It's a different time.
It's a different time.
But what time is it?
It's pizza time.
It's pizza time.
Give us pizza or give us death.
And New York City seeks new rules to reduce emissions from coal and wood-fired pizza ovens by 75%.
How do you do that?
So that's the interesting thing.
I was just in New York City last week, and there are pizza ovens on every corner.
So this is interesting.
The New York City Department of Environmental Protection has drafted new rules that would order eateries using the traditional baking method to slice carbon emissions up by 75%.
I just to slice it up.
All New Yorkers deserve to breathe healthy air and wood and fire coal-fired stoves are among the largest contributors of harmful pollutants in the neighborhoods with poor air quality.
Department spokesman Ted Timbers said this is interesting.
There's lots of little punches.
Oh, yeah.
The rule could require pizzerias to install costly emissions control devices, air filters that would require installation maintenance.
This is like a weird, this is a weird story because I feel like that is like one of the big staples when you go to New York.
It's legitimately wood-fired coal.
I didn't know they did coal-fired pizza.
Like, I don't know.
No one advertises that.
It's always like a wood-burning pizza oven.
That's like the big thing.
But I think coal.
I think you've got to do wood or coal.
Yeah.
I think I've seen coal.
Just barbecue.
Grimaldi's in Brooklyn is my favorite.
It's like a barbecued pizza.
And that's no matter what it is that you're using to burn, you're not going to do it on gas.
Sure.
So that's the.
Well, I mean, it's like from a leftist mindset, you see coal and you, that's like a buzzword.
I get that concept, but wood burning is like one of the cleanest ways to burn anything.
So it's, I would think that's not what Ted Timbers says.
Yeah, Ted Timbers.
And if he had anyone who would know about wood, it's Ted Timbers.
I know about wood.
My name's Timbers.
Yeah.
He's fighting big wood.
He's fighting a war against wood.
A war against big wood because he's a lumberjack.
Right.
And Ted Timbo.
I was there last weekend.
There's not a big war against wood.
Yeah.
I'm just saying.
This is like the busy body government that feels like they have to do something.
Yeah.
And they like walking, they're walking by Ted Timbers or somebody's like walking by a pizza restaurant.
He's like, ah, look at that.
It's smoke.
You know what I could do?
But it's like, that's the thing.
It's like, if you look at what's actually contributing to pollutants or climate change or whatever all the different crises are, it's never these little tiny things.
Like I'm sure if you look, look at the actual percentage of pollution that was released by a wood-fired pizza oven versus like massive industries.
Well, just imagine every home in New York City forever had a had a had a hearth, right?
With a wood fire, yeah, fireplace.
And that was definitely probably contributing.
But now there's probably one wood-fire pizza grill on, you know, like every other block or something.
So it's not like it's going to be that many.
I can't imagine, actually.
It also just seems like these are such an unpopular position to take, even if you're politically pro-environment or if you're a climate change activist.
The thing New York is known for is pizza.
People there love pizzerias.
Right.
It just seems like this is asking to you know be ridiculed and be an unpopular decision.
Hey, what would be the line for you guys?
At what point do we say commence 1776?
You know, it's it's it's a joke, but it's actually a fair point.
And we went to war over like taxes on stamps, basically, on tea.
And now they're well then taking away our pizza ovens.
We didn't have representation at the time.
Oh, yeah, we have representation that is taking away our ovens.
It's true.
We voted for them.
I read somewhere that when you look at like the tax act and the stamp act or whatever, am I getting those right?
I don't know.
Yes.
But you look at those acts that King George III passed or whatever, and they actually reduced taxes a little bit.
It was just that it moved it around to places where people saw it more like, ah, tax on tea or whatever.
But they took away other taxes and stuff, but they're still like, ah, screw this.
So Travis, pro-Jefferson Davis, Kyle, pro-Prince Turkey.
Pro-King George.
Well, it is interesting, though.
Turn to the monarchy.
They did spend, England spent a bunch of money trying to protect the Americans from the French.
So they fought this big war and they were trying to recoup some of the cost.
Makes a lot of sense, actually, financially.
And we were like, no, leave us alone.
But now we're.
So to me, the line has already been crossed.
But I've kind of been.
Do you think we should already be at war over the pizzas?
Well, no, not the pizza specifically.
But just when you look at like giving up, you know, 40% of your income and you add up all the gas tax and sales tax and income tax.
It's like, that's true.
We should have already, and now it's too late.
I think it's just too late.
So I'm but one man.
So what can I do?
Our mercenaries.
Our mercenaries need to start a coup.
That's what you're saying.
So you're going to get us canceled.
I'm clearly not saying that.
We should start a coup.
I am not saying that, but I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.
You guys hear about Disney?
Disney lost $890 million on its last eight films in the last 12 months, according to a YouTube financial analyst, Valiant Renegade.
And I go to Valiant Renegade for all of my statistics.
There was Lightyear, there was Thor Love and Thunder, Strange World, Black Panther, Wakanda Forever, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 3, The Little Mermaid, and Elemental.
The last two films are still in theaters.
The production and advertising budgets added up to $2,750,000.
And the box office brought in and rentals a total of $1,861,000,000.
So they lost $890 million.
So they actually did lose money.
This isn't just more to produce and market them than it does.
Yeah, I thought it was just projections.
Like they didn't hit their projections.
I think some of those were much bigger flops than others.
Like Lightyear was a big flop.
Elemental.
I thought Guardians did pretty good.
Little Mermaid did okay, didn't it?
I think Little Mermaid bombed because of Global Box Office.
Oh, okay.
What about Ant-Man and Wasp didn't do very well?
I think it just the Chinese didn't like.
Ant-Man and the Wasp and to an extent Guardians, those are probably more victims of the fact that the movie industry has changed since COVID.
Since everything got locked down, you're still not really.
I feel like people don't care as much about movies as well.
Yeah, but wait a minute.
So, like, just as a counterpoint, Maverick made a billion dollars in the box office.
So I think people do care about going to the movies.
They're just going to choose ones.
They're not going to go if it's something super woke and they hear it's super woke.
It's definitely a little Marvel fatigue.
I mean, that's part of it.
And I think the wokeness in the movies is definitely not a good thing.
But I think overall, a lot of these that where they put the woke stuff in, they also just don't have good stories or good narratives anymore.
I saw the trailer for Elemental when I went to see another movie, and it just looked like a weird, not a good movie.
It was a strange concept.
I've heard people say that Elemental was actually a pretty good non-woke story.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
There is a non-binary character.
I heard that, but I also, but they also, they're also like a little bit of a bad thing.
But they all hate the non-binary character.
Well, that's okay then.
Well, there's like a non-binary character, but apparently it's just because they say they one time.
And like, that's all.
But also, they don't, they don't have wieners.
They're like drops of water and stuff.
So that's a good point.
Doesn't it kind of make sense that they'd be?
It was just such a strange concept because I feel like no one, you don't really hear anymore about the idea of the four elements, like earth, air, fire, and water.
I'm so glad they didn't know.
So glad they didn't have wieners.
I don't know if there's any theory anymore.
Yeah.
But that's this element.
That's their next.
That's their next movie, though.
It's Disney Pixar's Wieners.
That one's really woof.
Yeah, that's super woke.
They're like, we're going all out.
Oh, my goodness.
I think Disney Pixar, the five love languages, is actually going to be better.
I think that's a great idea.
I would have seen The Little Mermaid, but she wasn't a redhead anymore.
Wasn't she, though?
She was kind of a redhead.
Not a ginger.
Well, she wasn't like a.
That's just your way of saying she's black.
No, I didn't say that.
No, I don't hate her because she's black.
I just hate her because she's not a ginger wink.
Yeah.
If you know what I mean.
But her scales are a different shade of blue.
I didn't see it because it's a live-action version of a movie that I don't think needs a live-action.
I don't like any of it.
I don't like any of the live-action ones.
But if she was the redhead.
I am not motivated to see those.
I didn't see The Lion King.
And I eventually saw it because we were like, what else do we watch?
But like, it was like The Lion King.
And then the other one.
The Beauty and the Beast live action one was the only one I saw because some friends were going to see it.
And I thought it was good, but only it's only insofar as Beauty and the Beast is a good movie.
Yeah.
It's like a shot-for-shot live-action remake.
I don't think it's better than the original.
It's just they just kind of exist.
That's how I've seen it.
I like that actress, though.
She's wonderful.
I'd see her again.
I didn't see that one, though.
Who here is still buying Disney products so we can tease them?
I would still go to Disneyland.
I still think Disneyland's fun.
I go to Disneyland.
I have Disney Plus.
So all of us.
I have Disney Plus.
I canceled Disney Plus when they fired Gina Carano.
Yeah.
And I haven't resubscribed, but I do steal somebody's.
Yeah, I don't have Disney Plus.
Yeah, there's some good stuff in there.
Disney Plus is a thing where at this point, I pretty much only have it around for Bluey and Star Wars.
I haven't watched it.
There's only certain Star Wars things.
I haven't watched much Star Wars.
I mean, I did Mandalorian, but I haven't watched it.
Yeah, I don't really watch all the animated Star Wars movies and stuff.
No, I haven't watched those, but I mean, I guess I pick up on the TV shows like Obi-Wan and The Mandalorian and stuff.
I always kind of try to catch those, but not all of them.
The Bad Batch, I didn't watch.
Well, speaking of bombs, here's the Babylon Bee's banger of the week.
Banger of the week.
Hunter Steenett Courthouse trying to weigh crack on Lady Justice's scales.
I thought this was supposed to be satire.
This is a comment under this one where someone said something like that.
This is a real thing.
You guys aren't supposed to report the real news.
There's a photo shot on every single one.
I know.
Even though it's very outlandish.
Well, part of that's because the comment generator has that.
But even on Facebook and Twitter, where you don't have that, people always write the same thing.
They'll do that even for Subar Zani ones.
Yeah.
That's my favorite.
It's like, oh, this, you know, Space Pobe or whatever.
And it's like, I thought this was supposed to be satire.
This is the news.

Bum of the week.
Youth pastors imploding the submersible of sin in your life sermon, deemed tasteless and too soon.
I like that one, especially.
We made a few attempts at the submersible drums.
None of them did very well.
I don't know why.
But I like the nerdy.
I like the female drummer in that one.
Do you?
That's definitely what I'm saying.
It's an unusual thing, and I have a female drummer, so that's good.
I would have liked her if she was a ginger.
Yeah, it's like she might be.
I was going to like it, but she's not red-headed anymore.
I have a problem with her for that reason.
Well, that's all very interesting, but I'd rather watch the weekly news with Adam Yenser.
Hey, Adam, tell us the news.

Best one I've ever seen.
All right.
Now it is time for our interview with Harrison Tinsley, who is facing a legal custody battle over his three-year-old son.
His wife is trying to raise him non-binary.
That's not funny.
And now it's time for another interview on the Babylon B Podcast.
All right.
Well, thank you for coming on.
We appreciate it.
Yeah, absolutely.
Thanks for having me, guys.
So why don't you tell us a little bit about what's going on?
Kind of prepped your audience a little bit, but uh yeah, give us the details of uh, of your story here.
Well, essentially I was dating a girl in the Bay Area and shortly after we started dating she got pregnant and we were both happy about that, thank god.
And a few months into the pregnancy um, she had some mental illness problems.
I always thought we could work around that and she just kept threatening me to not see my son if I wasn't exactly who she wanted me to be um, particularly politically, And it ends up that she breaks up with me and sends me a cease and desist letter from her attorney.
And then I don't know when my son's born.
I found out about a week later from one of her friends on social media.
Two months after that, I filed in court in San Francisco.
And it took 13 more months for me to meet my son.
So I met him when he was 15 months old.
I battled on.
I moved to the Bay Area.
I was awarded half custody of him, which was a blessing.
And after I won half custody, I was became aware of some safety concerns for my son, as well as some defamation against me.
And some basically his mom was starting to put him in dresses and call him they, treat him as non-binary or something to that effect.
All of which I wasn't very okay with.
And the safety concerns were pretty serious.
You know, there was an arrest for child endangerment and a 5150 with my son involved.
And so I produced all that to court.
I was granted a five-day trial, which I was very fortunate to be granted.
You know, most people get a 20-minute hearing and their life is decided based on that.
And so I felt really good about the trial and had lots of evidence and witnesses.
And after the trial, basically the court made the decision to keep custody the same, that my son had to see the doctor that the mom preferred and that they would not rule on gender.
Wow.
How old is your son now?
Three and a half.
So this is definitely something that's forced on him by his mother.
There's no way for him to know anything about his own personal identity quite yet.
Well, so now he's actually becoming hyper aware of it because of what's happening.
So he will tell you he's a boy through and through if anyone asks him.
In fact, if you say anything to the contrary or give him too girly of a toy, like he's playing with his girl cousins, he gets mad and he'll yell and scream at you.
No, I'm a boy, not a girl.
So it's making him hyper aware of it.
It's not really okay.
And he fully knows he's a boy.
He loves being a boy.
And I just think it's really sad that you wouldn't want your son to be happy with who he is.
So what's the current status?
Do you have any kind of recourse or, I mean, beyond the court?
Because so the court didn't, the court didn't rule one way or the other.
And it's just kind of like, well, status quo.
So when she's, so when he's with the mom, she can keep doing this basically to him.
So do you have any kind of recourse to?
Well, so I'm appealing the entire decision.
Okay.
That included.
Although I'll tell you that, as I told you, some of the details, not all of them, but that wasn't the top of our list.
You know, we know we're in San Francisco.
So we're pressing the bigger safety concerns, but I'm hoping that I can get him treated as a boy, which he is.
Wow.
How can our listeners help you?
What is it we can do for you?
I have a give, send, go.
Okay.
Give, send, go, saving Sawyer.
That's one way.
You can pray for me.
You can send me a message.
You could go to the Capitol and protest some of the crazy bills in California, these anti-parent bills they have, like 957.
They're directly trying to make it in family court to give custody to a parent that affirms a kid's gender identity.
There's a lot of bills that are pretty troubling.
Or it's just speak up even.
Courage really inspires other people to speak up.
I think it's really important.
Too many people are staying quiet.
What is the current status of state law with stuff like this?
I know I've heard about some of the crazy bills that are going through.
Did it seem very friendly to her case and what she's trying to do to your son?
Or was it just kind of based on the judge's decision at this point?
It's very interesting.
A lot of the Democrat senators, including the author of the bill, she's an assembly member, but whom I talked to, they all seem to think that the bill will help me since I'm, as they say, affirming the kid's gender identity.
I'm affirming that he's a boy.
He says he's a boy.
That's true.
I'm not.
Yeah, so I'm not, it could help me, but even if it does help me, I'm worried that it'll hurt thousands of families, tear them apart.
You know, parents are just going to start making this up in court.
They use anything they can to try to win custody and get revenge on each other after DeForces, divorces and such.
So, yeah, I mean, I think the bill could definitely hurt a lot of people.
For me, we'll see.
Wow.
Okay.
Gosh, that's terrible, Harrison.
And we're with you.
We stand with you.
You know, thank you so much for sharing your story.
We're definitely going to be praying for you.
And we want people to go to that GoFundMe.
What is the exact address?
Which GoFundMe?
It's like Gibson Go.
It's like GiveSenGo.
Give Sengo.
Give Sengo.
Saving Sawyer.
Okay, Saving Sawyer.
There you go.
We'll have a link in the show notes and everything on screen and everything.
Cool.
All right.
Thank you so much.
Yeah, we're praying for you and best of luck.
Thank you so much.
I love what you guys do.
Thank you.
Thanks, Harrison.
Wow, that's it.
It's crazy.
Harrison Tinsley.
Well, thanks, Harrison, for coming on.
And best of luck in the battle.
And we'll all be praying for you.
And terrible story.
Hey, I have two questions for you.
How are you paying for your health care?
How's that working out for you?
If it's working perfectly, great.
Go grab a snack.
If not, then listen closely because I have a solution for you.
A biblical solution.
Samaritan Ministries.
Samaritan Ministries is a community of Christians paying one another's medical bills.
It's biblical, affordable healthcare sharing with no network restrictions.
Here's how it works: when a medical need arises, you choose the healthcare provider that's right for you and have a say in the treatment you receive, even if it's a natural approach or an alternative medical treatment.
Your medical bills are shared with fellow members and your need is covered in prayer.
Healthcare sharing with Samaritan Ministries may also be more affordable than what you're paying now.
And if it's the right fit, you can join anytime, even today.
Check it out at samaritanministries.org/slash thebabylon be.

And now it's time for the Babylon B's Bible verse of the week.
Amen.
This is for Travis to read.
Matthew 9:32 in the proper King James Version.
As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
A dumb man possessed with a devil.
Such a dumb man.
So dumb.
Here ends the reading.
Here ends the reading.
Now just think about the dumb man in your life.
Who's the dumb man in your life?
The dumb man possessed with a devil in your life.
I'm starting with the man in the mirror.
You used to be good.
Adam Ford.
I really miss Adam Ford.
This is from YouTube.
This is.
Oh, this is a hollow.
Hello?
Hello.
Holo, 502.
Hi.
I thought this channel was satire about conservatives, but given the ignorance in the comment sections, it seems to have actually bent the space-time satire continuum all the way back around to satirizing liberals.
Oh, man.
I mean, I understand that was probably always the intent, but holy flower bed.
The irony you guys display is actually incredible to me.
Wait, I don't get what he's saying.
I understand the point he's trying to make.
Yeah.
He thought he think it was satire of conservatives or it sounds like he thought once of what we do.
Yeah, it sounds like he thought it was the Colbert report.
Oh, yeah.
We were supposed to.
I mean, how dare us satirize the liberals?
That's crazy.
All right.
All right.
Here's an email from Joseph Pamplona.
Oh, this is the one where someone just signed up for our email list.
Oh, I think the automated message from Seth.
They get the automated messages, and then Joseph Pombo says, You didn't say anything useful, just about you.
Nothing.
Whoa.
What does anything promotional emails do?
That's the point.
You didn't say anything useful.
Just about you.
Just about you.
You just talked about yourself the whole time.
And you're not useful.
You didn't ask me any questions.
Nothing.
There was no words of affirmation.
This one's from Andrew Christian-author.
So I consistently laugh out loud at Babylon B headlines.
These guys really are a fountain of creativity and a spot of brightness in a weary world.
That didn't sound like hate mail at all.
What an idiot.
Oh, it's love mail.
Those are words of affirmation.
Thank you.
That's a love language mail.
It's a love language mail.
Maybe he's being really sarcastic and it's hate mail.
Yeah.
I consistently laugh out loud.
These guys are a real fountain of creativity and a spot of brightness in a weary world.
If you know what I mean.
It becomes hate mail when you realize it only has two retweets and 14 minutes.
Yeah.
It's not very high.
The south will rise again.
All right.
Thanks for watching, everybody.
We are going to go into the subscriber lounge now where we have questions from our subscribers.
We're going to answer.
So if you want to join the QA, jump on in.
I think we got some bonus hate mail, and maybe we don't.
We have all kinds of stuff, though.
It's going to be great.
So sign up, become a subscriber, and you can join us.
Here we go.
Coming up next for Babylon B subscribers.
We've had a lot of pride events this month, unintentional pride events.
Oops.
But whoops.
I'm here at the pride for it again.
Yeah.
Kyle famously told me multiple times: I want you to be comfortable that 98% of what you do is not going to be published or whatever.
Yeah.
These people are filled with so much genuine hate.
