They're the epitome of modern feminism. They're defining it culturally all the time. Cultural feminism has poster girls as Greta Gerwig and Charlie XCX. And I think Greta Gerwig will want to turn the White Witch into an empowered anti-heroine and make her a figure of cultural disruption in a positive way. That's my fear with this spinoff, this reimagining of Narnia. C.S.
Lewis wrote The White Witch. as a clear symbol of evil. She embodied Satan's pride, deception, and rebellion against divine order, against God himself. She's supposed to be Satan in a fur coat. That's the White Witch. I mean, he was very, C.S. Lewis was very explicit about the allegories he was making in the Narnia series. Like, this is not disputed. White Witch, Satan in a fur coat.
Jadis is prideful. She wipes out land in her home planet to just flex her power, just like Satan subverted God's creation. Jadis' eternal winter and her tyrannical rule over Narnia is in a fallen world, is only redeemed by Aslan. And Aslan's Christ-like sacrifice. I mean, does this sound familiar to the biblical story, you guys? It's the same thing. It's totally allegorical.
This is what we're talking about. So my fear is we're just going to flip C.S. Lewis's story about good and evil and turn it into some sort of feminist anthem, which is what Greta Gerwig always does. And Charlie XCX is the embodiment of we're going to have like Jadis is this morally gray character and she's misunderstood. And really, she's kind of cool, like how Disney made Maleficent.
in Beauty and the Beast, actually kind of a cool, good character with this backstory that explains why she's evil. I'm like, I'm sick of that. Can we just have some good and evil, some black and white stories? Why does everything have to be morally gray?
And in life, there's a lot of moral gray area, but when you're talking about children's stories, and we're trying to teach children about the good and the true and the beautiful, you have to portray evil. That is why you have the white witch who is so transparently evil. She's the devil. And then you have Aslan, who is Christ.
This wouldn't be a creative tweak that I am imagining will probably happen in this remake. It would be a cultural erasure of the West's spiritual heritage. And I know that sounds crazy and far out, but it's true. Replacing the battle between divine good and evil with a trendy, secular feminist narrative is an attack on our civilization, I think.
as a classic story like Narnia, which is so widely read by the youth in this country, to twist it in that way, distort its purpose.
And for a civilization built on Christianity, this is one more example of Hollywood diluting the moral clarity that shaped our art, ethics, identity for centuries, replacing it with a hollow, gratified version of sacred story that no longer challenges sin, but would actually celebrate it. Remember what I said earlier in the show? about tolerating evil and then celebrating evil.
And it's just a slippery slope when you don't have a moral code rooted in something concrete. This is what we get. Girl boss, white witch. It was actually not that bad. It's kind of cool. And look, you guys, I don't know if that's actually going to happen, but this is my bet. I think it's going to happen, especially if Charli XCX is the White Witch.
And you guys can call me out if I'm wrong, but I don't think I'm gonna be wrong about this one. I don't, you guys. I know Greta Gerwig. I know Charli XCX. I can see what's coming. All right, I gotta get to this. I gotta get your opinions on this is what I really want.
So a woman who refused to give up her airplane seat to a child has filed a lawsuit against the airline and the passenger who recorded the incident. By the way, the person who recorded this incident was not the mother of this child, just some random person. And the woman said in the statement, Since that incident, my life has taken a turn I could never have imagined.
What could have been just an ordinary flight turned into an extremely embarrassing situation, exposing me unfairly and causing consequences that affected both my personal and professional life. I'm not gonna play the video of this because it's all in Portuguese. This woman is Brazilian. The airline is not an American airline. Well, Gui is Brazilian. He knows Portuguese.
Maybe he can translate it for us and we can talk about it later. But like I said, This is something that happens a lot, oddly enough. People go online and they complain about others trying to have them move their seat and they paid for the seat. And so if you pay for a window seat and then some mom wants you to switch because of her child,
and you say no thank you i already paid for the seat people on the internet will defend you and then some people will be like no you're an evil person you're a bad person i kind of sympathize with that a little bit like if you paid for your seat you want to sit at the window and then somebody says oh move for my child pretty ridiculous a pretty ridiculous thing to say now at the same time
I have traveled with all of my siblings. I've traveled without parents and multiple siblings. And sometimes, especially if you book late and there's not really a lot of options to make sure you guys are all together, you gotta ask people to move. And I'm not even saying together, like if I'm traveling with like all nine of my siblings, I need them all to be together. No, there just needs to be
a big kid with a little kid and a little kid can't be together with a little kid and they can't be alone by themselves. I mean, you just, you have to do it that way. It's inappropriate for the kid to be alone. And so I'm always appreciative when other people will willingly and gladly switch. I think we have to be more accommodating to parents in this world.
I mean, if you see a baby crying, it's like the baby can't do anything about it. But then there are always people who complain. It's like, don't complain. So I'm kind of saying two things here. I want you guys to drop a comment. Tell me what you think about this. But I will say I've had experiences with people who just seem to hate children. And it really irks me. Because one time,
My mom asked me to fly Valentina out to Arizona to visit her grandparents, my grandparents. My parents were really busy. Obviously, Valentina could not fly alone. So I flew with her to Arizona and then flew back to where I live. And she was the best baby in the world on this flight. I mean, she was probably, she was four at the time. and so well-behaved.
And Valentina, of course, has Down syndrome. So she's four, but really she's cognitively much younger than four. She can't say, at that time, she couldn't say any words. So she's basically like a baby, a toddler who is really cognitively a baby. And she was unbelievably well-behaved, like so good all through security, walking to the gate, on the plane, she was smiling, she was happy.
