The best gift I've ever received has to be a bike when I was younger, a pedal bike.

It was a sort of slick little road bike and I remember it was all like, it was so, it was all wrapped up,

it was so obvious what it was obviously because nothing's shaped like a bike and I had a little ribbon on it and I was so guest.

For that was a life changer and I'm still sort of big on cycling around my area now so for that one change me a little.

Enjoy in every sip with red cups now back at Starbucks.

Hey guys, welcome to Relatable Happy Monday.

All right guys, I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend last week last Thursday.

I was in Auburn, Alabama speaking to some students there and I think some people from the community with Charlie Kirk and turning point USA.

We talked about all kinds of issues that are deemed very controversial today but it was a great crowd.

They were super engaged and we only had one dissenting question and I really appreciated the fact that she had the courage to stand up in front of a bunch of conservatives and ask the question that she knew was going to be antagonistic.

She did have a little bit of a toad and I told her that but I also told her that I was very proud of her for standing up and for saying something that she believed in and asked a question that she thought was an important question to ask.

We as conservatives should learn a lesson from that kind of courage that if you are in the minority or if you are surrounding people that you know we're going to push back against you, you still should have the courage to stand up and say what you know to be true or ask really important and even seemingly controversial question.

I had a blast doing that. I don't typically travel as much as I have in the past few weeks and as much as I'm about to over the next few weeks I kind of have just like this burst of travel that's fun but also as you guys can probably understand and maybe you understand from your own lives.

It can also be very difficult to try to balance everything that is going on but thankfully there are short seasons and I have a lot of support and I'm very thankful for that and I'm thankful for you guys who come out and come to the talks.

I always love meeting you as I talked about last week I got to stay with a fan turned friend and just enjoying that Christian hospitality it just edified me so much and I really do feel like we are family and when I get to meet you,

I'm a person. It's just amazing. So thank you to everyone who comes out and meets me and talks to me and all that good stuff.

All right. Today we are going to talk about the dangers of one maybe two concepts that depends on how far we get to traits or characteristics if you will that we have been told are universally positive but are actually dangerous and destructive and that is number one empathy and number two inclusion.

And we talked about this in Auburn and then it just got me kind of thinking about this subject and I thought it was important enough for me to start the week out with and I don't know if we're going to get to the inclusion portion because I could spend hours and hours talking about the dangers of empathy so we're definitely going to talk about that we either will do like a part two about the dangers of unfettered inclusion or will include it in today's episode and I understand I have already scandalized some of you by saying that I'm going to be a part of the world.

And some of you by saying there are problems with empathy because empathy and inclusion are the values that have sucked so many people especially young people especially women and especially Christian women into accepting ideas and policies that are actually very harmful.

And they are harming the very people that these groups say that they want to defend the most vulnerable particularly women and children and I'll talk about how that is but not just women and children also the people that we tend to see is marginalized and discriminated most against in American society.
