The Cory Truax Show

On This Episode:

8 MINUTES OF FOOTBALL TALK

I enjoy this Chiefs dynasty. I have mostly disliked other dynasties. I'll use 8 minutes to indulge in sports talk.

SUPER BOWL CONSPIRACIES

The "NFL is rigged" people have zero arguments. I'll break down and refute these conspiracy theories.

CONSPIRACY THINKINGS MUST STOP

I'll itemize why conspiracy thinking is so damaging to culture and humanity. Also in this segment, I do get the damage of secular leftism. It's godless paganism with terrible ideas, leading to ruin the West. While that is totally true, on the Right, we do have a growing conspiracy problem that needs response.

TRAVIS KELCE NEEDS TO GROW UP.

The Tight End's screaming at his coach was embarrassing and the opposite of the masculinity we need modeled. Adults, regulate your emotions.

HE GETS US AD

One of the advertisements was incomplete. One improperly applied Jesus washing his DISCIPLES feet. It also coddled some sins. On the brightside, it creates conversations where theologically sound people can speak truth to error.

On This Episode:

THE GREATEST "PRIVILEGE OF ALL"

I've argued for years that the greatest "privilege" in life isn't ethnic, educational, or economic. It's familial -- having 2 parents. ⁠This new book lays out the data⁠ and the crisis we're in that marriage and child-raising are now disconnected in our age.

#TwoParentPrivilege

"ONLY FANS" MOM AND A CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

A woman who makes her living in digital prostitution was repeatedly taking her children to their Christian school with a gigantic sticker on her back window, advertising her OnlyFans account. The school asked her to stop bringing the pornography advertisement to a children's school. We must stop letting people's "autonomy' take precedent over decency for kids.

OREGON'S DRUG LEGALIZATION FAILURE

Oregon decriminalized most drug use a couple years ago. Overdose cases are up by a factor of 5. Those overdoses ending in death is up by a factor of 4. Portland's downtown is an unsafe, drug-filled wasteland. It was an unmitigated disaster, and we should take note of that anytime someone brings up legalizing more drugs.

A "PASTOR" PUSHES HIS OWN CRYPTOCURRENCY

A corrupt "pastor" fleeced $3 million from his flock, keeping $1 million for himself while losing everyone else's money. His constant justification was that "The Lord told him" to take various steps. Mark people that claim God is speaking to them directly, an avoid them.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE BORDER

The Biden Administration claims they need new laws to handle the crisis at the border. I'll play audio from Bill Maher to illustrate that even the normie-90s-liberal knows that claim is a lie.

2024 IS 1992

I will illustrate how the 2024 election is shaping up to look A LOT like the 1992 election. It's almost eerie.

On This Episode:

TAYLOR SWIFT CONSPIRACY

Let me dispel the notion that malign actors are executing a Psy-Op, using the NFL and Taylor Swift to push the Left. We're plenty enough a pagan people for Leftism to thrive without a conspiracy.

MATT WALSH ON ART VANDALS

The Catholic commentator says we should execute the vandals of the Mona Lisa and other destroyers of famous art works. Let's use Biblical wisdom to correct his thinking and surmise the proper punishment.

ARE PASTORS BLOGGING TOO MUCH?

We'll consider the wisdom of an older pastor who thinks pastors are online too much.

ARE ALL SINS EQUAL? No.

I'll provide arguments and audio to demonstrate that the idea that we all just "sin differently" is unbiblical. Some sins are actually worse than others.

On This Episode:

TRUMP CONSOLIDATION

That happened fast. With Governor Desantis gone, the 2024 race is set: two elderly, unpopular men. I have several thoughts of analysis, including the fact that there's never been a bigger opportunity for a third party.

SCHOOL LUNCHES IN THE SUMMER

My State is debating a school lunch program for the summer. That led me to a couple thoughts regarding the arguments in favor of it. It seems these politicians are often telling me my BIBLE tells me this program is needed. So, I have to ask: does that make summer school lunches... Christian Nationalism?

CHRISTIANS ANS GAY WEDDINGS

A rock-solid Bible teacher recently created controversy with an answer about Christians and homosexual weddings. I want to respond to that.

On This Episode: ANALYZING IOWA Here are my takeaways. 1. The Primary is over. Trump is the nominee for his party. 2. The race for 2nd place between Desantis and Haley is still important. Circumstances could keep Trump out of the race. 3. This also likely locks in Biden as the nominee for his party. 4. A Supermajority of Americans don't want these choices, so there's never been a better time for a third party candidacy. I expect a MAJOR third party bid. 5. Everything is going to be okay. Anyone who says, "if _________ wins this election, the country is over," is hysterical, childish, and you shouldn't listen to them. TERRIBLE TWEET An ostensibly "Christian" leader tweeted this very bad analogy about Trump. I'll respond to it. POLITICAL BUT NOT PARTISAN IN A SERMON Pastor Matt Chandler recently preached a sermon where he critiqued critical race theory, leftist economics, and national idolatry. He did it all without sounding like a political pundit. That's a good model for us to follow. A LOT MORE

On This Episode:

LET HISTORY INFORM YOUR FEELINGS ABOUT TODAY

I know life is unstable right now: inflation, mortgage rates, protests/riots, two wars, shifting morals, incompetent governance, and a contentious election in front of us.

One reason we stress about these things so much is that we think we're unique in human history. Give me 15 minutes to walk you through the US in 1968, and learn that we're not the first people to tread these grounds, and we'll make it through just like they did.

TWO MADDENING PIECES OF AUDIO

One is from an apostate "church" in Canada. The other is an AI-generated worship of a politician. I have points on both.

On This Episode:

LONELINESS AND POLITICS

New York Times Editorialist and author (one of my favorites) David Brooks has a new book out. One revelation is how people are using politics (instead of church) for morality, community, and feelings of making an impact. That's a substitution that will ruin us.

CAREFUL WHO GETS YOUR EARS

Some commentators tell you you're living under a tyrannical, treasonous regime. I tend to think we're living under godless, very mediocre people with bad ideas. The first option brings panic and fear. I think you should avoid those people.

MATH LEADS TO GOD

I want to play a clip from an atheist mathematician whose work is making him conclude there is more than the material universe.

On This Episode:

A woman on TikTok recently complained about being rejected by a matchmaker (the woman wants to find a husband). She was appalled that the matchmaker thought the woman needed to make some changes to be appealing to the men she wanted.

Change, compromise, and improvement have been shunned by our self-love culture. I have some thoughts to share.

TEXAS ABORTION CASE

There was a complicated abortion case out of Texas this week. I want to offer clarity on the ethics of it -- but with, hopefully, a lot more compassion in my tone than I'm otherwise hearing.

On This Episode:

A CULTURE'S ART TELLS YOU WHAT IT'S LONGING FOR

HBO's Hard Knocks, HBO's Gilded Age, and this new Jennifer Lawrence movie, "No Hard Feelings" are betraying this secular age's desires. The law of God is written on every heart, and God designed us to want certain things, as we're made in his image.

This culture tries to deny God's design but their art betrays them. I'll go over how these pop culture features are telling us people long for:

-Men to lead and take care of their families

-Men to leave behind childishness

-A Culture of dignity, decorum, and standards

-For sex to be meaningful again

-That chastity would be desirable

On This Episode:

POLITICAL STORY ONE: SNL's Surprising Jokes

The first two jokes on SNL's Weekend Update were at President Biden's expense this week. That's an historic oddity. It also tells us something about our political moment, and I have some interpretive thoughts (including a look-ahead to next November's election).

POLITICAL STORY TWO: The Speaker Knows His History

A CNBC reporter recently challenged Speaker Mike Johnson on his praying from the Congressional House floor, arguing for separation of church and state. Mike Johnson did a masterful job of correcting him. I'll play the audio and explain further that literally everyone brings their faith to their politics (Secularism and Humanism are religions)

NYT'S ADMISSION ON MENTAL HEALTH

⁠This editorial from the New York Times⁠ admits our over-obsession with mental health and youth is back-firing. I'll provide some theories on why that is.

MY RECENT ESSAY

I'm publishing an Essay soon entitled "The Future won't be Confused." I read that essay here. In short, it's a recognition that this western, secular experiment regarding marriage, sex, sexuality, parenting and a lot more will collapse and ultimately be scorned by generations to come. As Asian and African traditional cultures (which already reject disordered sexualities) become more Christian, we know that the future will be built on the ashes of this very stupid, confused, sex-obsessed, self-worshipping era.
