Summary

Today, we sit down with Allie's dad, fan-favorite Ron Simmons, to discuss everything you need to know about Trump's tariffs against Mexico and Canada. We go over what exactly tariffs are and how President Trump is using them to advance an "America First" agenda. We talk about how well they have worked so far as leverage against foreign nations in order to secure the southern border. Later, we discuss actress Lily Collins' announcement of the birth of her first child via surrogate and the controversy that erupted online over it. After all, at the end of the day, surrogacy still hurts children and deprives them of their birth mothers.

0:00.0	Lily Collins is the latest celebrity to welcome a child via surrogate. We are taking another look
0:08.4	at the ethics of not just surrogacy, but all of reproductive technology in the United States
0:15.4	and how cultural opinion seems to be changing for the better on this subject. First, I'm going to talk to
0:23.4	my dad about this tariff war that is going on. Is there any validity to left-wing criticisms or
0:30.9	is Trump really as victorious as he seems to be? We've got all of this and much more on today's
0:37.0	episode of Relatable.
0:47.4	Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Wednesday. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far.
0:53.1	We will be with my dad in just a minute talking about tariffs. But I wanted to do a couple things. I wanted to follow up on the topic yesterday that we discussed about U.S. aid. And we just didn't have time to get into this aspect of it, which is perhaps one of the most defarious aspects of USAID. So I just
1:12.7	want to touch on that and highlight just the corrupt function of federal bureaucracy in general,
1:19.1	but specifically that institution in a second. I also forgot at the top of yesterday's show to
1:24.4	remind you that tickets for Share the Arrows will be on sale February 28th. Y'all, we are so
1:31.5	excited about this. The Women's Event, Share the Arrows that we did last year. It was our first ever
1:36.1	event. We were extremely rushed and planning it, and yet it was a supernaturally powerful day.
1:44.7	The teaching, the worship was just so solid.
1:47.6	And by the grace of God, it will be just like that this year, hopefully even better because
1:53.1	we learned a lot in planning our first event.
1:55.6	We're having it at a new venue outside of Dallas, Texas.
1:59.8	And we hope to have even more than 4,000 Christian
2:03.4	women from across the country and actually around the world come to this event this year,
2:08.4	but it's going to be the same kind of solid teaching and powerful worship and fellowship,
2:12.8	just the stories of friendship and kindness and hospitality and compassion and conviction that came out of
2:21.4	last year's Share the Arrows have just buoyed us and have edified us so much even months
