Billboard Chris on the Show Today - He Has 350K X Followers :-) Sep 06, 2023

Show notes

With nearly 350,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter) Chris Elston, now known internationally as Billboard Chris, has made quite a splash.
A Canadian from Vancouver, BC, Chris simply calls himself a "Father of two girls. Traveling the world to expose gender ideology and why children cannot consent to medical transition."
On "I'm Glad You Said That" today, I get the privilege of interviewing Chris about his journey to educate the world on the distinct harms of the "gender affirming care" movement.
Currently, I'm in Chicago at the State Policy Network Annual Conference and while walking down Michigan Avenue in the Windy City, I randomly ran into Chris doing his thing. My wife encouraged me to get his card to interview him. I'm glad she did.
This man deserves accolades in abundance. I hope you can listen in.

Gay, Black, Jewish "Unicorn" on Why "Gender-Affirming" Care is Wrong Aug 26, 2023

Show notes

Ari DeWolf describes himself as somewhat of a "Unicorn" being gay, black and Jewish while leading the effort to expose "gender affirming" health care as fraudulent and harmful.
Ari cut his political teeth through ten years of battling the Chicago political machine, first as an outspoken student activist and then as a lobbyist in the state legislature.

For a season, he was an education outreach manager at Reason Foundation, working on legislative outreach and coalition building to advance Reason's education policy agenda. Prior to joining Reason, Ari was a government affairs specialist at the Illinois Policy Institute, where he advocated for budget, tax, ethics, education, labor, and criminal justice reforms.

Today, Ari is the Director of Outreach for Do No Harm Medicine, a diverse group of physicians, healthcare professionals, medical students, patients, and policymakers united by a mission to protect healthcare from a radical, divisive, and discriminatory ideologies.
It's a shame that politics has become so embedded in medicine but we celebrate groups like Do No Harm Medicine for standing in the gap to right the ship.

I am privileged to chat with Ari today and hope you can tune in. As always, if you can't tune in live on radio, be sure to go wherever you get your podcasts and listen at your convenience.

Talking "Phase Change" with Dr Jay Richards of Heritage Foundation Jun 24, 2023

Show notes

Dig deep on Dr. Jay Richards bio and your eyes keep widening.
He's written more than a dozen books covering everything from physics to fasting to money to The Hobbit. He has produced multiple documentaries including The Call of the Entrepreneur, The Birth of Freedom, and The Privileged Planet.
In addition to his current role as William E. Simon Senior Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, DC, he is also a Senior Fellow at the Discovery Institute, Executive Editor of The Stream, Assistant Research Professor in the Busch School of Business and Fellow of the Institute for Human Ecology at The Catholic University of America.
Today, I am privileged to converse with Dr. Richards about how gender ideology has infiltrated so many aspects of our society today. Ever the scientist, he likens how quickly this lie has hardened into culture today to phase change - a physical process of transition between one state of a medium and another like water turning to ice.
Fortunately, he believes, a phase change in the other direction may be evident as even liberals are beginning to question the madness.
I am privileged to chat with Jay today and hope you can tune in. As always, if you can't tune in live on radio, be sure to go wherever you get your podcasts and listen at your convenience.

Saved Three Times - Priscilla Hurley Has a Fascinating Journey To Tell Jun 12, 2023

Show notes

Priscilla likes to say God saved her three times.
As a Christ follower, she knows that your soul is saved once and for all but her story is different than most. She is a survivor of an attempted abortion, with her twin sister dying in the process.
She had two abortions herself and while working at an abortion clinic in Southern California, was in a horrific car accident that should have killed her.
And finally, through God's everlasting grace and mercy, she found salvation, forgiveness and freedom after surrendering to Jesus at age 31.
In addition to running one of the largest abstinence education programs in California, Priscilla established a ministry called Choice to Choose. She is an active member of the Abortion Survivor's Network and is true treasure nationally, as well as here in Alaska where she now resides.
I am privileged to chat with her today and hope you can tune in. As always, if you can't tune in live on radio, be sure to go wherever you get your podcasts and listen at your convenience.

Glorifying God & Lifting Up Truth at Regent School of Law May 31, 2023

Show notes

Pat Trompeter is Director of Advancement of Regent University School of Law.
That means he meets with people of influence every day to connect them with his school's mission. He is passionate about the fact that at Regent School of Law, they are serious about Christ.
From their website, Regent's "commitment to faith-law integration is woven into our curriculum, as our faculty, dedicated to Christ’s call both personally and professionally, provide a caring and nurturing environment in which students gain an understanding of the foundations of law and learn to develop the ethical and moral code required for the recognition and resolution of ethical dilemmas.
Additionally, students are encouraged to explore the call of God on their lives, the gifts God has given them and discover how this translates into the practice of law."
As the only state in the nation without a law school, Alaska needs more graduates from Regent coming to the Great Land to be influencers.
Hope you can tune in today.

Speak up. Lose friends. Have Fun. May 08, 2023

Show notes

Katie Faust is one of those humans that when I first met her, it felt like she was the sister I never had.
She is brilliant. Hilarious. Bold. Scattered. Deep. And so relevant.
The ministry she founded and runs, Them Before Us, says this on their website.
"There’s nothing exceptional about the people behind Them Before Us. We aren’t professional writers or pedigreed activists. We are just people who think that children deserve to be the primary consideration when considering what is best for, well, children. We are ordinary people willing to state the cost that children, as well as society, pay when children are deprived of their fundamental needs."
Isn't that what needs to be said out loud more often ?
Oh...and she's also on the Organising (that's European for organizing) Committee of a new group called the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship - created as a counter to the World Economic Forum.
She's in good company on that Committee with the likes of Jordan Peterson, former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, Victor Davis Hanson, Riva Melissa Tez, and Vivek Ramaswamy among others. The right response to the formation of this group would seem to be - "It's About Time!"
Hope you can tune in today.

Finally ! AK Public School Employee Stands Up For Parental Rights !! Apr 26, 2023

Show notes

Maybe it's because he's from Texas where quiet confidence reigns.
Maybe it's because he's a Principal in Golovin, an Inupiat Eskimo village on the Seward Peninsula where respect for elders is generational.
Whatever the reason, Alan Davis, Principal of Martin L. Olson School in Golovin, has given a desperately needed boost of confidence in the public school system by recently coming out in support of Governor Dunleavy's parental rights bill, HB 105.
Public school teachers, counselors, administrators and Board members have been relentless in advancing sexual orientation and gender confusion ideologies and very purposefully withholding that from parents. HB105, that shouldn't even be necessary, would require public schools to obtain parental consent before they teach anything related to sex, and those classes could not be taught to kids in K-3rd grade. The bill also mandates that parents must be informed if kids begin identifying as a different gender in school. Finally, the legislation creates safe locker rooms and restrooms by separating those facilities by biological sex.
Alan Davis, who joins me on "I'm Glad You Said That" today, is one of, if not the only public school employee, who has stepped forward to support this eminently reasonable legislation. Unbelievably, a large percentage of those opposing HB105 have been teachers and counselors who are actually standing against parents.
Principal Davis, his letter is shown below, should be commended and should inspire what is hopefully a large number of reasonably minded, parent-focused public school employees to also step up and take a stand !
Hope you can tune in today
