Punching Back with Rebekah Howell: Recent Episodes
Rebekah Howell
There are two critical challenges we are facing today: 1) We are blasted with lies on social media, in classrooms, and at our jobs every second of every day; 2) Proclaiming the truth earns you the title of racist, sexist, xenophobe, etc. These challenges put us at a crossroads. We know or suspect that we are being lied to, but we don’t say anything out of fear of retaliation. But if we are ever going to win back society, we must punch back. So this is a podcast where punching back is what we do. We ignore our fear because the cost of not responding with truth is higher than responding.
Immigration has been a heated topic of conversation for decades. Do we need open borders or closed borders? Do we need Title 42 or not? These are the questions we have all been asking and debating lately.

Resources Mentioned In Today's Episode:

LIV Golf was established back in 2022 as an alternative to the PGA. However, it has sparked a lot of controversy in the golf world because its primary source of funding is the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund.

On Monday, April 24, Fox News released a statement letting the world know that it was parting ways with Tucker Carlson, the host of Tucker Carlson Tonight and Fox Nation series Tucker Carlson Today. Fox Media's full statement can be read here. Of course, Fox gave no indication why it is parting ways with the popular host but many have speculated as to the reason. On this episode of Punching Back, I analyze some of those reasons and what could be next for Tucker.
UPDATE: After this podcast was recorded, Tucker released a brief video. You can access that video here.
The transgender agenda has forced women and young girls to sacrifice their safety and privacy all in the name of equality.

Biden sat down for an interview this week with TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney (a male who is trying to become a female) to discuss transgender issues.

Feminist theory has been around for awhile. It began with what was probably the best of intentions, to give women a voice and fight for equality. Soon after its conception it got lost and started tearing down women instead of promoting equality. Today, we are going to look at feminist theory and some of its consequences.

After the death of Queen Elizabeth II was announced, some people took it upon themselves to share some lies about who Queen Elizabeth was and what she stood for. So on this episode of Punching Back, I am going to set the record straight on who she was and what she accomplished throughout her very long, vibrant reign as Queen of Great Britain.
Today we are tackling the lie that America is somehow defined by her past mistakes. This is something we are told often. Most often it is America's past with slavery though there are many other things the left just can't seem to move past. But in this podcast, we are going to look at what holding onto the past means for one's future, what it means for America's future.

On this episode of the Punching Back podcast, we are going to tackle the lie that the Bible is a discriminatory book.
This lie first came to my attention due to an article that was written in the Dallas Morning News about Keller ISD temporarily removing the Bible from its library shelves while it reviewed it for inappropriate content. (That story can be found here: https://www.dallasnews.com/news/education/2022/08/16/texas-school-staff-told-to-pull-bible-anne-frank-adaptation-from-libraries/) But is the Bible discriminatory? Or is the Bible the most anti discriminatory book ever written? We will tackle all of that and more on this episode!

As we kick off the podcast today, I wanted to take a moment to explain how this podcast came to be, what its purpose is, and what you can expect from it going forward.
We are told lie after lie every day by the media, the government, academia, Hollywood, etc. Fearing what they might do to us should we speak out against the lies, we stay silent. But our silence only empowers them to keep going. So, it's time to stand up, speak up, and punch back... and this is a podcast where we will do just that!
