0:00.0	You're more likely in this country to hear a sermon in a church about climate change,
0:05.5	the so-called climate crisis, or about Black Lives Matter, or about Brexit, then you are about Jesus
0:11.9	Christ. That, to me, is sad. If I'm being charitable, I'll say that these people are one intentioned
0:19.2	and they're doing what they think is best. If I'm feeling less charitable and more cynical, I'll say
0:23.9	they've actually lost the faith or they found a new religion. I think a lot of people at this point
0:30.4	are worshipping the environment. Welcome to episode 137 of the Michaela Peterson podcast. I'm Michaela
0:40.8	Peterson. This episode features Calvin Robinson. I met Calvin during my trip to Oxford for the debate
0:46.9	on the ethics of meat consumption that hasn't been posted yet, not sure if it ever will be. Anyway,
0:52.7	Calvin is a political advisor, a newscaster for GB News, a writer for the telegraph in the Daily
0:58.4	Mail, and a senior fellow at the UK Think Tank Policy Exchange. More importantly, though, at least

1:26.7	rationality, scripture, and his personal religious beliefs. Please subscribe if you enjoy this
1:32.0	episode or this content. Before we get started, this episode is brought to you by Schwank Grills,
1:37.4	hands down the best grill I've ever used or I wouldn't be talking about them. Schwank Grills are
1:42.0	made in America. They're portable infrared girls that heat up to 1500 degrees Fahrenheit.
1:47.2	Being able to do that at home is something else, that exceptional taste when the stakes
1:51.9	black on the outside and red on the inside. Kidding, you don't have to use Schwank to make your
1:56.0	stakes black. They do mired reactions beautifully. I just like blackened stakes. I'm not one of those
