National Polygamy Advocate

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was the guest on Poppoff with Mary Jane Popp, on KAHI 104.5-FM & 950-AM, in Sacramento, California, on February 1, 2016, the week after the Brown v. Buhman ("Sister Wives") case was appealed at the US 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver, Colorado. The host conducted the interview as a genuine professional, asking numerous excellent questions with respectul politeness. The answers include many concepts that help people understand UCAP, Unrelated Consenting Adult Polygamy - such as definitions of polygamy, polygyny, and polyandry; anthropology, biology, and Biblical history; the Dr. Joyce Brothers 1994 quote; women choose the man in species; the seed and garden example; "Manufactured News outlets;" "10 men & 10 women" analogy of free marriage market economics; "stay-at-home mom & travelling high-career woman" example of choice; and the reason for hope that the Supreme Court might uphold the lower court's decision in Brown v. Buhman to de-criminalize "de f

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed on The Frank Pastore Show, for "The Intersection of Faith and Reason" on KKLA 99.5, in Glendale, California, on March 21, 2006, for the Christian-based syndication Salem Radio Network. The pre- & post-interview conversations are also included to demonstrate the promise and the expressed "guarantee" that the host would not be "lying in wait" to "sandbag" Mark Henkel. (NOTE: the 8-beep sounds simply block out non-public telephone numbers.) Non-Christian listeners hearing this now will want to remember that this is a situation of a Christian speaking with a Christian radio show in 2006, using the commonplace rhetoric and terminology known to that specific Christian audience. The host was so shocked that he could not refute a single argument made by Mark Henkel, and surprised that Mark Henkel knew and used more known-Christian commonplaces and verses than the host did, that the host immediately succumbed to betraying his professed Christianity. Instead

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed on The Bill Meyer Show, on KMED FM-106.7 & AM-1440, in Medfield, Oregon, on January 25, 2016, in response to to the news that the Brown v. Buhman ("Sister Wives") case was being appealed (January 21) at the US Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver, Colorado. Mark Henkel explained how the lower court had previously struck down the "cohabitation clause" and had narrowly limited the "purports clause" (to only applying to purporting to have multiple marriage licneses) in Utah's anti-polygamy state law - effectively de-criianlziing "de facto polygamy." Those polygamy-positive changes were then being appealed in the Tenth Circuit. After learning here that UCAP, Unrelated Consenting Adult Polgamy, only sought de-criminalization not legalization, the host seemed surprised being in agreement. http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nationalpolygamyadvocate/support

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed by Daniel Jeffreys, the US Bureau Chief for the London Daily Mail, in the United Kingdom, on February 5, 2002 - the week before the 2002 Winter Olympics held in Utah. This interview explained how criminal Tom Green was the "polygamy Tim MacVeigh," the difference between Mormon Polygamy & Christian Polygamy, and key Biblical arguments supporting polygamy as valid. It also noted how the media typically only seeks "circus acts" rather than allow polygamy rights to be argued on its intellectual arguments. The de-criminalization-not-legalization Agenda and the "House of Cards" strategy to achieve that Agenda were also detailed. http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nationalpolygamyadvocate/support

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was the guest on The Chip Franklin Show, on KGO 810, in San Francisco, California, on June 23, 2017. This radio interview with a surprisingly-hostile host occurred during the week that San Francisco was celebrating "Pride Week," following the story of a California married man and married wife choosing together to add a third wife. Making note that it was also "Pride Week" there that week, Mark Henkel explained the hypocrisy of the LGBT side's opposition to UCAP Unrelated Consenting Adult Polygamy making their own choices of relationships. "From the marriage equality side of the marriage debate, you're completely denying the marriage equality for the B in LGBT." Mark Henkel also explained how such so-called "marriage equality" is actually a "George Orwell 'Animal Farm' kind of equality where some are less equal than others." http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nationalpolygamyadvocate/support

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed by the Rocky Mountains US reporter Greg Carney on July 3, 2003, for the French national news agency, Agence France-Presse. This interview sought the pro-polygamy response to the US Supreme Court decision of Lawrence v. Texas, decided the previous week on June 26, 2003. This positive & professional interview permitted the making of many of the key argumentations for unrelated consenting adult polygamy. It explained why the then-latest Supreme Court decision opened door for the next civil rights: Polygamy Rights for unrelated consenting adults. http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nationalpolygamyadvocate/support

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was the special guest on The Christal Frost Show, on WTCM NewsTalk 580, in Traverse City, Michigan, on April 13, 2016. This was following the breaking news from two days previously, on April 11th, that the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, in Denver, Colorado, had formally reversed the lower court’s decision in the Brown v. Buhman ("Sister Wives") case. The appeals court had not decided the polygamy case "on the merits" of any arguments; rather, they had merely vacated the lower court decision on a "legal standing" technicality, holding the matter moot. Mark Henkel explained the details of the case. The woman host was very professional and respectful. After admitting her initial thoughts about the topic, the host later positively acknowledged that she had no problem with adults freely choosing UCAP, Urelated Consenting Adult Polygamy. http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nation

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was the special guest on The Sterling Show, on 610 WTVN, in Columbus, OH, on October 30, 2001, to discuss Christian Polygamy as a rather new modern movement "Continuing the Reformation" with other Christians. Sterling, the host, seemed unfamilar with that historic term (i.e., "The Reformation"). This interview occurred only 48 days after the infamous 911 attack on the US, which explains why Mark Henkel refused to let the host even try to subtly hint at any possible connection to the horrific evils of terrorism. In those days back then, the correctly-convicted criminal Tom Green had, at that time, been the media's then-latest obsession of progandizing against polygamy. Callers also initiated discussions, ranging from the difference of Mormon polygamy vs Christian polygamy to Bible verse citations of Solomon's (disallowed multiplying) vs & David's (allowed adding) wives, and more. http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed by "The Real Bob Mitchell" on WWL, 870 AM & 105.3 FM, in New Orleans, LA, on January 25, 2016. On the previous Thursday, January 21, 2016, the Brown v. Buhman case (aka, the “Sister Wives” case) was being heard at the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Tenth District, in Denver, Colorado. The appeal was filed by the State of Utah, following the lower federal court's ruling in the case on December 13, 2013, that had effectively de-criminalized "de facto polygamy" (i.e., polygamy where only one legal marriage license to one spouse exists). The host rightly exclaimed that it makes no sense to criminalize UCAP (Unrelated Consenting Adult Polygamy) families for doing nothing more than shacking up like anyone else. This host even offered to "go to court to make this argument." http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nationalpolygamyadvocate/support

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed by Doug McIntyre, on McIntrye in the Morning, on KABC, in Culver City, CA, on August 30, 2006 - the day after the FBI found and arrested criminal fugitive Warren Jeffs of the FLDS. Rather than discuss that case and reveal that UCAP, Unrelated Consenting Adult Polygamy, oppose that criminal, Jeffs and his cult, the host attempted to use this interview to discredit and insult, revealing how abusive and insulting some media can be, even as a conservative. It backfired on him, though. When the host's own rhetoric exposed his willingness to support modern liberal/Democrat positions opposite of his Catholic conservative claims, the host unwittingly revealed how he knew that he had no argument: the host's insults went so far as to mockingly say he'd create "ChristianCannibals.org," followed by his ad hominem silliness of namecalling Mark Henkel as "the quintessential right wingnut" who was "thrown out of a Star Trek convention," "cuckoo," in "insanity," and in

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed on the TV news network, Al Jazeera America, on December 14, 2013 to discuss the Federal Court's polygamy-positive ruling made the day before in the Brown v. Buhman ("Sister Wives") case. [NOTE: This ruling would be later REVERSED on a "legal standing technicality" by the Tenth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (2016) and then DECLINED to even be heard by the US Supreme Court (2017).] The day before this interview, a lower Federal District Court had struck down the "cohabits prong" of Utah's 1973 anti-bigamy law, limited the definition of opf that law's "purports prong," and thereby de-criminalized "de facto polygamy" (before being later REVERSED in 2016). This interview explains and discusses that December 13, 2013 lower court ruling. http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nationalpolygamyadvocate/support

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed on "Howling at the Moon" with Dr. Toni Cook, on June 17, 2000, on KTLK radio in Denver, CO. The host was doctor, a woman, and a pastor of a liberal church. Many excellent questions about the Scriptural proofs of Christian Polygamy were asked and answered, even as the host very clearly self-identified as a liberal version. The standard of "love-not-force" was also given in-depth, explaining the call for husbands to grow up to love wives as truly selflessly as Christ loves the churches. http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nationalpolygamyadvocate/support

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed by reporter Ron Strom on July 3, 2003, for an online article published on July 4, 2003, titled, "Polygamists see open door for acceptance." This interview sought the pro-polygamy response to the US Supreme Court decision of Lawrence v. Texas, decided the previous week on June 26, 2003. WorldNetDaily was a vehemently constitutionalist conservative news site with a strong evangelical Christian foundation as well. Mark Henkel intentionally used the tribal commonoplace rhetoric known to (and "required by") conservatives of that time, in order to establish his ethos as a serious, Bible-studied, non-Mormon, Christian constitutionalist - by which to successfully make his arguments to persuade that specific conservative Christian audience in 2003. http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nationalpolygamyadvocate/support

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed on Morning News with Ken & Mike, on December 18, 2006, on News Radio 560 WGAN, in Portland, Maine - a local talk radio show with numerous nationally-sydnicated conservative news & talk radio programs. Both hosts, each coming from different sides of the political spectrum, completely agreed that, if people want to marry polygamously, the government has no business being involved. They both asked excellent and kindly respectful questions. This interview ended up becoming yet another one of the most comprehensive while simultaneously succinct on-air explanations about Christian Polygamy and how the "Polygamy Rights Solution" for all forms of UCAP (Unrelated Consenting Adult Polygamy) provides the way to finally end the marriage debate altogether in a win-win for all sides. http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nationalpolygamyadvocate/support

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed by reporter Kate Silver on November 14, 2001, for a magazine article published in the November 21, 2001, issue, titled, "Jesus loves polygamy, this I know (Christians use Internet as polygamy too)." This interview asked and provided numerous questions and comprehensive answers explaining Mark Henkel's ethos as a non-Mormon Christian, the TruthBearer.org organization, the Protestant "Sola Scriptura" history, presuppositions, & paradigm, the rhetoric argumentions of the newly growing modern movement of Christian Polygamy (the movement which made the later, larger movement possible for overall UCAP Unrelated Consenting Adult Polygamy), details of how Mormon Polygamy doctrines are specifially different from the Christian Polygamy paradigm, and the "House of Cards" strategy to overcome anti-polygamy thinking. (History Note: this interview took place 2 months after 9/11 - yes, in that year 2001.) http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- Support this

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed by Nancy Grace on the television program, The Nancy Grace Show, on HLN, on January 14, 2014, in response to the December 13, 2013, decision by a federal judge in Utah to strike down the "cohabitation clause" in that State's bigamy law - effectively de-criminalizing "de facto poygamy" (ie., polygamy with only one wife having a government marriage license). The host revealed a visibly and audibly hostile agenda, spoke over Mark Henkel, did not let him answer her questions, and then stopped asking him anything for the last 3 minutes of the segment Nevertheless, Mark Henkel ended appearing as the far more rational person in the exchange, making the positive case for UCAP, unrelated consenting adult polygamy, despite the host. He also successfuly stated some persuasive soundbites, including his "we don't criminalize all football players because of Jerry Sandusky" quote. http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.s

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed by Emmy Award winning journalist & anchor at the desk, Kristine Frazao, on the television network, RT America, on August 4, 2011. The interview opened with information that, then-currently in Russia, as women outnumber men by about 10 million, that shortage of men has many women in that country consenting to a polygamist lifestyle. The anchor segued from that point to ask if the US should consider that too in America, as the introduction to the interview to discuss UCAP, Unrelated Consenting Adult Polygamy in the US. This woman anchor asked excellent questions, and she had to positively chuckle at one of the humorous argumentations presented (re: incentivizing men to grow up). A number of important key arguments for UCAP polygamy were asked and fairly allowed to be succinctly presented in this otherwise seemingly brief interview.  http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nation

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed on Bards Logic Political Talk, hosted by Robert Jetter Jr., with a round-table of the show's additional Conservative and Christian co-hosts, on July 15, 2015, to discuss the ramifications of the Obergefell v. Hodges decision by the Supreme Court (the month before) as it applies to UCAP, Unrelated Consenting Adult Polygamy. This show lasted just under 3 hours (yes, THREE HOURS!), addressing numerous issues and questions raised by the show's round-table of co-hosts. This comprehensive 2-hour, 45-minute interview is a "must hear" for every listener who self-identifies as a political Conservative, a Christian, or both - as well as anyone else who wants to learn how to make such arguments to those who DO so self-identify. http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nationalpolygamyadvocate/support

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed on The Thom Hartmann Program, by Thom Hartmann himself, nationally syndicated radio and TV show, on June 13, 2013, (and re-broadcast the next day), to discuss UCAP, Unrelated Consenting Adult Polygamy. The show is marketed/billed as "America's Number 1 Progressive Radio Show." When the politically-liberal host tried to use an example of a rogue cult that had ejected teeneage boys (to "make way for men competing for the girls to marry") as if that example is what modern secular America would supposedly "also" do if polygamy was de-criminalized, he was quickly set straight on that fallacy. Emphasis that UCAP is about "Unrelated Consenting Adults" was repeatedly expressed to the host. http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nationalpolygamyadvocate/support

Just under an hour in length, this comprehensive legal discussion addressed numerous issues, including definitions of terms, how anti-polygamy laws developed in the US, how anti-polygamy was never about being egalitarian, Marriage Control, Marriage Protection, Marriage Equality, Orwellian doublethink and people's acts of insanity to preserve their sanity, and much, much more. A Woman caller also called in, sharing her own positive perspective of polygamy. http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nationalpolygamyadvocate/support
