00:00:00.000 NFL legend Tony Dungy fires back at Kamala Harris over her takes on abortion and faith.
00:00:09.120 Also, celebrities, surprise, surprise, are endorsing Kamala Harris. You won't believe
00:00:14.420 why. And also, illegal immigration continues to wreak havoc across our cities in the United States.
00:00:23.320 And I will give you my take on all of that and more on today's episode of Relatable. It's brought
00:00:28.560 to you by our friends at Good Ranchers. Go to goodranchers.com. Use code Allie at checkout.
00:00:31.840 That's goodranchers.com, code Allie. Hey, guys. Welcome to Relatable. Happy Wednesday. I had to
00:00:47.800 think about what day it was. Hope everyone has had a wonderful week so far. One thing I wanted to
00:00:53.160 follow up on yesterday's episode, I think at one point I included some commentary by someone
00:01:02.280 about Steve Lawson's quote-unquote inappropriate relationship. If you haven't listened to
00:01:08.060 or watched the episode, you can go back to see what I'm talking about. But someone said sexual sin
00:01:16.440 in relation to the Steve Lawson scandal. And I do want to clarify that we don't know if it was a
00:01:25.000 sexual relationship. And actually, from what I have gathered from people who actually really know,
00:01:32.220 and even taking my own advice from yesterday to look at every single word that was chosen in these
00:01:39.900 statements, knowing that they were chosen purposely, I do not think that he has confessed to sexual sin
00:01:48.320 with this young woman. It seems to me that it was some kind of romantic relationship. And that is why
00:01:55.500 they chose the words inappropriate relationship. I think that vagueness has created a lot of confusion
00:02:05.040 and has sparked a lot of unfortunate questions. And that's just kind of what happens when specificity is
00:02:14.120 lacking, although I understand the kind of tug of war there that a church is trying to balance and not feeding
00:02:23.460 into gossip by giving too many details, but also trying to be as clear as possible. So I don't think that it was
00:02:35.020 a sexual relationship, or at least that he has not fessed up to a sexual relationship. But I also
00:02:40.560 don't think that he confessed this relationship by his own volition. I actually think from what I'm
00:02:48.040 gathering that he is still kind of in denial about the severity of the situation. So I just wanted to
00:02:55.040 kind of add those caveats there on yesterday's episode. And again, just encourage us, and even as we get
00:03:02.560 into the topics that we are addressing today, which in some ways are anxiety-inducing as we just look
00:03:09.940 at the chaos of our world and try to answer the chaos as biblically as possible, that Jesus Christ
00:03:17.080 is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and that he is completely trustworthy. Someone whose faith I
00:03:23.720 admire so much, who has been unapologetic in standing up for Christian values and advancing the cause of
00:03:32.160 Christ in his fear is Tony Dungy. He is the legendary NFL coach. And I met Tony Dungy several years ago,
00:03:42.340 the PR firm that I worked for represented All Pro Dad. And I had a very brief interaction with him that
00:03:49.680 I'm sure he would not remember, but he was extremely kind to me, this very new low-level publicist.
00:03:57.020 And I remember the impression that he made on me, and that's an important lesson for all of us,
00:04:03.520 that even those seemingly mundane interactions can have a lasting impact on a person for better or
00:04:10.380 for worse. And the interaction that I had with Tony Dungy, someone as famous and notable as him,
00:04:16.900 has left a really good impression on me all of these years. And so it doesn't surprise me
00:04:23.340 that he is speaking boldly against the evil statements of Kamala Harris. On September 19th,
00:04:30.660 Kamala Harris posted to X a statement that she has frequently made in her pro-abortion speeches.
00:04:36.580 She said,
00:04:37.240 One does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree. The government,
00:04:41.500 and certainly Donald Trump, should not be telling a woman what to do with her body. Here's what she
00:04:47.860 said in the debate against Donald Trump a couple weeks ago. Someone. And let us all agree. One does
00:04:55.080 not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree. The government should not be
00:05:03.540 telling her what to do with her body. Okay. So that was actually from a rally speech, but she said
00:05:11.000 the exact same thing in her debate with Donald Trump. And we responded to that at the time and
00:05:17.980 said, yes, you absolutely do. You have to suspend your faith to advocate for the right, the legal right
00:05:24.760 to slaughter unborn image bearers of God. You absolutely do. Faith in Christ and the support
00:05:32.420 of access to abortion are contradictory. They simply cannot go hand in hand. You will have to suspend
00:05:42.880 your belief in Christian principles in order to support something like that. But Kamala Harris,
00:05:49.740 of course, is trying via toxic empathy to get that female evangelical vote to convince you just like
00:05:58.320 Satan would, that supporting the right to abortion is actually a Christian belief, is actually somehow
00:06:04.880 in accordance with the Bible. Tony Dungy responded to her post on Acts on September 19th saying this,
00:06:15.800 Dear Vice President Harris, I hear you make this statement all the time. Exactly what faith are you
00:06:20.980 talking about when you say you don't have to abandon it to support abortion? Are you talking about the
00:06:26.200 Christian faith that says all babies are made in the image of God, that God places them in the womb,
00:06:31.540 Jeremiah 1.5, and that we should not take any life unjustly, Luke 18.20? Are you talking about that faith
00:06:38.060 or some nebulous general faith that says we're good enough and smart enough to make our own decisions?
00:06:43.360 What faith are you talking about? So solid. And he's someone who is not just pro-life in word, but pro-life
00:06:50.660 indeed. Coach Dungy is an outspoken Christian who has fostered over 100 children and adopted eight
00:07:00.960 children with his wife. And so I think he knows something about the dignity of these unwanted
00:07:09.820 children, that they deserve better, that they are entitled to more than being slaughtered inside the
00:07:16.180 womb. He also called out the NAACP for abortion disinformation, and he brought attention to
00:07:22.600 Florida's Amendment 4. Remember, you should vote no on Amendment 4. Amendment 4 would allow abortion
00:07:28.460 through all nine months for virtually any reason in the state of Florida. There's lots of disinformation
00:07:35.220 out there about Amendment 4. It is not about allowing miscarriage care. It is not about allowing women
00:07:42.180 women the health care they need in tragic situations. It is about allowing abortion for
00:07:49.180 any reason. The NAACP said on X, for the record, you cannot have an abortion in the ninth month. You
00:07:57.220 cannot have an abortion after birth. If we didn't keep any books, maybe we wouldn't have to clear that up.
00:08:02.600 And that post by the NAACP had 119,000 likes. Tony Dungy responded by saying,
00:08:10.680 In Florida, we will be voting on Amendment 4 this November that would take all limits off the timing
00:08:15.780 of abortion. If it passes, we would become the 10th state where that type of late-term abortion
00:08:21.060 would be legal. Please don't distort the facts to make a point. Of course, he is absolutely right.
00:08:28.360 Abortion is allowed through all nine months for virtually any reason in nine states right now.
00:08:34.980 And yes, infanticide after birth does happen. That's what Ralph Northam was talking about a
00:08:42.680 few years ago when he was governor of Virginia. That's what's happened. And Tim Walls' state of
00:08:47.640 Minnesota, because of the laws that he has passed, the rabidly, radically pro-abortion laws that he
00:08:54.160 has signed in the state of Minnesota, at least eight babies who survived abortion have died due to
00:09:00.360 neglect and what should be considered malpractice. Remember, Kamala Harris voted against in 2019
00:09:06.340 as senator, the Born Alive Infant Survivors Protection Act, which did not restrict abortion
00:09:11.620 in any way, but simply said that babies who survive abortions have to be given health care. She voted
00:09:17.220 no on that. So if that's not something that happens, why not protect those babies just in case?
00:09:23.500 It doesn't go far enough to say the Democrats are the party of abortion. They are the party of
00:09:27.860 infanticide. That's what it is. And good for Tony Dungy for calling this out. I really appreciate
00:09:34.140 his courage. I appreciate his boldness. More people should be speaking up. When you've gotten to that
00:09:40.800 level, you really don't have anything to lose. Again, look at someone like Harrison Butker,
00:09:47.260 the kicker for the Chiefs, who got in so much trouble when he made those comments about stay-at-home
00:09:54.460 moms at the graduation speech a few months ago. He just signed like a $25 million contract a few
00:10:01.040 weeks ago. Like y'all will be fine. Stand up for the most vulnerable. So thank you so much,
00:10:07.960 Tony Dungy, just for your courage. Courage is contagious. May more people be inspired by this
00:10:14.280 and keep speaking the truth on behalf of the most vulnerable as Christians have always been called to
00:10:19.800 do. He said this in one of his books. It's his first book, Quiet Strength, where he talks about
00:10:27.020 the importance of standing up for our faith. He said, being stubborn is a virtue when you're right.
00:10:33.240 It's only a character flaw when you're wrong. You should not be open-minded to evil and lies.
00:10:41.400 And by the way, a really good indicator that you're wrong, that you're on the wrong side of
00:10:48.060 things, is if you have to constantly lie to defend your position. If you have to constantly use
00:10:53.660 euphemisms to defend your position. If you get angry when someone tells you the facts about your
00:11:00.160 position, the pro-abortion position, what actually goes on in the procedure, what abortion really looks
00:11:06.020 like, then maybe it's because you're on the wrong side. If abortion were really health care,
00:11:10.200 abortion activists wouldn't get so angry when you tell them what an abortion looks like and how it
00:11:16.580 works. So again, thank you, Tony Dungy. May we all be that bold. All right, let me pause and tell you
00:11:24.020 about our first sponsor for the day. It's Adele Natural Cosmetics. Our friends at Adele are going to
00:11:28.300 be there this weekend at Share the Arrows. You'll be able to see a lot of their products there. And I love
00:11:35.040 the family that runs this company. They're the real deal. They want to glorify God in everything.
00:11:39.860 They do. They want women to feel beautiful in the skin that God gave them. And they help you do that
00:11:45.520 by providing these all natural skincare and cosmetic products. I absolutely love them. I love how they
00:11:52.080 smell. I love how they feel. I love how they work. They leave my skin feeling really moisturized without
00:11:57.280 feeling greasy. And I've got drier skin. And of course, the more you age, the more moisture is
00:12:03.380 important. And I just love relying on the holistic all natural products from Adele Natural Cosmetics.

00:12:17.900 All right. Speaking of Share the Arrows, it is just in a few short days. Those of you who are
00:12:27.160 facing the hurricane, I am praying for you. I am praying that you can fly to Dallas, that you can
00:12:33.880 get there. And I am praying that that hurricane would not hinder anyone from being at Share the
00:12:40.780 Arrows. I know some of you have rescheduled your flights to get to Dallas earlier. And if any of
00:12:48.720 you out there can do that, if you're coming from Florida or even anywhere in the Southeast, if you
00:12:53.660 can, I know that's not that easy. It's easier said than done. Then I would look into that just to be
00:13:00.960 safe. Going home should be fine, but getting to Dallas could be a little bit of trouble. And gosh,
00:13:06.820 I'm just praying for that so much. I do have an announcement about Share the Arrows.
00:13:12.480 150 tickets are left. Only 150 tickets, y'all. This is a huge auditorium. And so I'm so thankful
00:13:19.940 we are able to accommodate the many thousands of you that are going to be there. But we're about to
00:13:25.060 reach max capacity. And so we only have 150 tickets left. I would go right now. If you've been waiting
00:13:32.760 around wondering if you should go, especially if you're a local to Dallas or if you live in Oklahoma
00:13:38.500 or Arkansas, you can make the drive, I would just go ahead and do it. You're not going to regret it.
00:13:44.200 You can go to sharethearrows.com. You can use my code, all caps, Allie15. That'll give you 15%
00:13:50.660 off general admission. If you want to meet the speakers, you could get a VIP ticket, an all-access
00:13:55.840 ticket. If you want to meet just me, you can get a breakfast ticket. All of those options are
00:14:00.380 available. We've got Candice Cameron Bure, Rosaria Butterfield, Elisa Childers, Abby Halberstadt,
00:14:05.660 music by Francesca Battistelli. I can't sleep at night right now because I'm thinking about this.
00:14:11.880 In some ways, it's stress and thinking about all these details. And then on the other end,
00:14:17.980 it's just pure excitement to see you guys, to worship with you guys, to finally experience this.
00:14:23.940 We have been working by the grace of God so hard on all of this. And it's our first ever event. And so
00:14:32.840 I'm praying everything goes well. But the team that's behind this has been putting so much
00:14:37.760 creativity and so much effort into every single aspect of Share the Arrows. And I just hope that
00:14:44.680 it serves Christian women well. Again, if you're not going to be there, or if you are going to be
00:14:48.400 there, please pray for us. Pray for us this week. Pray for all attendees. Pray for all the staff,
00:14:53.700 all the volunteers. Pray for the speakers as well. Pray for Francesca. Pray that God would be glorified
00:14:59.060 and that he would protect us and give us his grace and mercy as we come together and learn together and
00:15:08.420 worship together. All right. We unfortunately have to talk about some silliness that's going on in
00:15:15.940 Hollywood. Now I know this is surprising to you guys because typically the wisdom that we get from
00:15:22.340 celebrities is so profound and the life advice that we get from them is so applicable because their lives
00:15:31.080 are so stable and they are moral exemplars. And so it might surprise you to know that the celebrities
00:15:41.420 that we're talking about today have really bad political takes and exhibit zero understanding
00:15:48.760 of what is going on in the political and cultural spheres at all. Some of you might be familiar with
00:15:56.220 Paramore. Haley Williams from Paramore. I had no idea that was her name. I have never been a Paramore fan.
00:16:04.500 I don't know about Brie. I feel like Brie was a Paramore fan. Were you a Paramore fan?
00:16:11.420 No, actually. You weren't. I've never been a Paramore fan. Okay. I actively actually kind
00:16:16.620 of don't like their music. Okay. Okay. We're on the same page. I completely misread you and I
00:16:20.980 apologize. I appreciate that. Thank you. Because yeah, I have also never been a Paramore fan. What
00:16:26.080 about like Florence and the Machine? Yeah, I like them. Besides you know who, she who shall not be named.
00:16:33.700 What other like girl artists do you like? Well, I have what one would call basic music taste,
00:16:41.580 I guess. Like I like pop music. Yeah. And I like like I like 21 Pilots. That's I guess not pop music,
00:16:50.160 but I feel like alternative music. Yeah. Pop punk. I never liked that. Oh, really? I was really into like
00:16:57.760 the pop punk stuff when I was in high school. Wow. Yeah. Like just a little emo. I did dye my hair
00:17:04.740 black. So yeah, that was part of that. But I also did like she who shall not be named. I listened to
00:17:13.160 her fearless, fearless CD when I was in high school in my little silver Volvo on the way to school. And
00:17:20.680 yeah, it was it's very nostalgic. Anyway, so we've got Paramore here and Bri and I have never liked her
00:17:28.900 music. And so it's not like we were super disappointed. But she was performing at iHeartRadio
00:17:35.080 Music Festival. When was this? Last Friday in Las Vegas. And she decided to end one of her songs with
00:17:44.080 this just heartstring pulling heartfelt speech. Here's thought to project 2025 is Donald Trump's
00:17:56.420 playbook for controlling and punishing women, poor people, people of color, and the LGBTQ plus
00:18:03.960 community. It is time for all Americans to band together and to finally defeat the Trump agenda.
00:18:11.300 And the only way to do that is by confronting him at the polls. Do you want to live in a
00:18:19.380 dictatorship? Well, show up and bounce! Go! Just so silly. Obviously, it's her right to have that
00:18:28.440 opinion. It's her right to express that opinion. That is the beautiful thing about America is that
00:18:34.320 you are supposed to have free speech. And so I support her right to express her opinion. But her
00:18:41.220 opinion is really dumb. It is not informed at all. If she were sitting right here on the white couch,
00:18:46.200 I would say, Haley, specifically, what do you mean? What do you mean by that? What part of project 2025
00:18:53.820 is going to lead us into a dictatorship? What specific tenets proposed in project 2025 are going to punish
00:19:01.420 women and poor people? Can you explain that specifically for us? And if you can provide
00:19:07.960 page numbers, that would be awesome because I want to read those policies myself. But also,
00:19:14.840 Donald Trump, I think too much, has disavowed project 2025. If you can even disavow something
00:19:22.820 that you were never a part of. He wasn't ever a part of project 2025. I think project 2025 is generally
00:19:28.840 more conservative than where Donald Trump is. But there's nothing in project 2025 that is like
00:19:34.040 new or radical. The vast majority of the actual policy proposals in project 2025 are like mainstream
00:19:40.340 conservative stuff that have been around for decades. And we'll link the episode that we did
00:19:46.220 on project 2025, busting the myths on all of that. But she is pushing. I don't know if it's disinformation,
00:19:52.380 which would be purposeful, but it's at the very least misinformation. It is absolutely
00:19:57.220 propaganda. She is right that you should show up to vote. She just is wrong about who you should vote
00:20:04.980 for and why. She has also said she said this in 2023, just so you know where she stands. If you vote for
00:20:13.620 Ron DeSantis, you're effing dead to me. Is that comfortable enough for anyone? Okay. Okay. I worry for
00:20:23.620 her. Why is it that so many women on the left express themselves in mentally unstable ways? Ways that
00:20:34.940 don't come across as rational and peaceful and thought through and kind, but really aggressive
00:20:43.700 and really emotional and really hysterical seeming. Like, I guess that's just a result of propaganda.
00:20:51.600 When you feel really strongly, when you have been manipulated by toxic empathy into thinking that
00:20:58.360 you are standing up for the most vulnerable by being progressive and voting Democrat, that creates in
00:21:05.400 you some kind of like feral misplaced mama bear feeling like you are this big, bad white savior protector
00:21:16.520 of all of the marginalized communities that Donald Trump is going to come after. And I think that does
00:21:22.580 create a form of hysteria. Here's an analysis that I haven't given yet that I was going to put in a
00:21:30.360 separate episode and I just hadn't, uh, I just haven't, cause I haven't had time to write it all
00:21:36.040 out, but I've been thinking about this, about this kind of attitude and the attitude of so many women
00:21:45.820 on the left who are so defensive of their life choices, who express so much antipathy towards
00:21:51.980 children and babies and are so passionate about abortion and are so passionate about apparently being
00:21:59.540 strong independent women, feminists. Um, every woman has a baby. Every woman has a baby. Just not
00:22:11.040 every woman has a human baby, but every woman has this natural instinct to mother and it is going to
00:22:18.660 be channeled towards something. It could be channeled towards your career. It could be channeled towards
00:22:24.780 your plants. It could be channeled towards your pets. It could be channeled in some ways towards
00:22:31.500 yourself, the self infantilization that I think we see among a lot of young people today. But I think
00:22:38.600 that a lot of women also channel that towards the populations that they view as victims, that that kind of
00:22:49.280 motherhood mentality is channeled into their support of liberal policies. And they convince themselves
00:22:58.820 that again, they are defending all of these groups that they patronize and belittle and treat as
00:23:06.600 children. They think that they are truly defending the quote unquote LGBTQ, the black and brown communities,
00:23:12.940 the immigrant communities. I think it is like misplaced mothering. I think that's one reason.
00:23:18.800 Why so many women very emotionally and rabidly vote Democrat and support liberal policies.
00:23:29.560 That's probably one of many reasons. And that's really tied into that toxic empathy piece that we
00:23:35.080 talk about so much that I've written my book on that's out October 15th. The empathy that says
00:23:41.760 you must feel for the victims that the media hoist up and you must not only feel what they feel,
00:23:51.840 but affirm their feelings, even at the expense of everyone else involved. So that means the woman
00:23:59.760 who wants an abortion, you have empathy for her so that you are blinded to the reality and the morality
00:24:05.620 or immorality of abortion. You feel so much for the gender deceived man that you affirm his delusions
00:24:15.260 at the expense of the women and girls who become victimized by that at the expense of reality. You feel
00:24:21.860 so much for the two men who say that they want to create a family that you forget about the rights and the
00:24:28.220 well-being of this little motherless child. You feel so much for the plight of the person who traveled
00:24:36.380 across the border illegally to escape Colombian gang violence that you are blinded to the rights,
00:24:44.880 to the protection, to the safety of the people who are negatively impacted by illegal immigration.
00:24:52.140 You feel so much for those that you are told are victims of systemic discrimination or systemic
00:24:59.100 racism that you're not even willing to look at the facts about crime or the historical facts about
00:25:08.100 actual racism and discrimination and justice versus injustice in this country. That's what toxic empathy
00:25:16.160 does. It blinds you to reality and morality. That's why Christians are not called primarily to empathy.
00:25:21.920 We are called to truth-filled love because love always rejoices with the truth. And it's from that point
00:25:28.860 that we ask, okay, what is good, right, and true when it comes to each of these positions? And I think what
00:25:35.800 we find is that the progressive position on all of these things is actually the most dangerous and the most
00:25:42.160 harmful to the very groups that they say that they are trying to defend. We've got more celebrity
00:25:47.980 endorsements in just a second. Let me pause and tell you about our next sponsor. It's We Heart Nutrition.
00:25:51.920 They're also going to be at Share the Arrows this weekend. I love them so much. This is another
00:25:56.960 Christian family-owned company. They started this company not only to glorify God, but because of
00:26:04.020 her own health needs, Kristen's own health needs, and the desire to create supplements that really
00:26:09.880 work with a woman's body that we can absorb, that really help us feel our best. That's been my story
00:26:15.880 with We Heart Nutrition. I started taking them at the beginning of the year. I've gotten sick a lot less.
00:26:20.780 I haven't had postpartum hair loss. I feel like my hair and my skin and my nails are really
00:26:26.740 healthy, healthier than I've been in a long time. I got blood work back a few weeks ago. My iron levels
00:26:32.060 are looking great for the first time in forever that I can remember. And so I'm thankful for the products
00:26:39.500 at We Heart Nutrition. I'm so thankful for their heart behind it. They also use the money from We Heart Nutrition
00:26:46.200 to help support pro-life pregnancy centers, which of course is near and dear to my heart.
00:26:50.920 You can go to WeHeartNutrition.com, take their quiz, see which supplements are right for you.
00:26:55.880 You can get 20% off your order using code ALLIE at checkout. WeHeartNutrition.com, code ALLIE.
00:27:01.860 So I don't know if you guys know Chapel Roan. I only first heard of her a few weeks ago. I don't
00:27:12.360 even remember where I first heard her song. H-O-T-T-O-G-O. I am not recommending that you
00:27:19.060 listen to that song. But I heard it, I don't know, somewhere. And I was like, well, this is kind of
00:27:25.280 catchy. It's not good at all. It doesn't speak to any good value. So again, I wouldn't recommend it.
00:27:30.100 But I was curious about who this person was, this artist was. I had never heard of her before.
00:27:34.980 And apparently, Brie has told me she is like a big ol' lib and LGBTQ advocate, right? She's
00:27:45.140 gay herself. I don't know. And she dresses in drag as a woman.
00:27:51.300 Yeah, her whole brand is like LGBTQ. And I think, I haven't heard all of her songs,
00:27:56.900 but every song that I've heard has been about like lesbian relationships.
00:28:01.060 Okay. Yeah.
00:28:01.680 And she's very sacrilegious too. On her page, you can see she's like dressed as a, I don't
00:28:08.220 know how else to say this. Well, she's dressed as a nun, but a very inappropriately dressed
00:28:14.860 nun. I will say that instead of the adjective that I was thinking. Well, she's very progressive.
00:28:20.980 And so her fans are angry at her because she has not endorsed Kamala Harris.
00:28:27.500 But she said this to The Guardian, I have so many issues with our government in every way. There are
00:28:32.740 so many things that I would want to change. So I don't feel pressured to endorse someone.
00:28:37.180 There's problems on both sides. I encourage people to use your critical thinking skills,
00:28:41.220 use your vote, vote small, vote for what's going on in your city. That actually might be the best
00:28:47.520 advice that I have heard from a celebrity, a liberal celebrity. Typically, this is conservative
00:28:54.180 coded language, someone who doesn't want to say that they're voting for Trump, but she's not. But
00:28:59.480 I'm saying that's typically where it comes from. Not just saying there are issues on both sides,
00:29:04.280 but saying vote small, vote for what's going on in your city. She's absolutely right. We shouldn't
00:29:10.660 care this much about who's running for president. It should matter a lot more what's going on
00:29:14.700 on the local level. Unfortunately, the stakes are just so high when it comes to our federal
00:29:19.300 government. The Harris campaign hasn't shied away from trying to tie itself to Roan's popularity
00:29:24.580 in July, just days after President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race and Harris took over
00:29:29.680 as the Democratic candidate. The campaign posted on social media a clip of Roan's 2023 song
00:29:35.520 Feminine On and On. Did I get it? Feminine On and On?
00:29:39.700 Feminine On and On. Yeah. Um, anyway, also she has, uh, I guess she's gotten the Midwest princess
00:29:50.100 merch. Is that like part of her brand? What her, her album is called like Rise and Fall of the
00:29:55.480 Midwest princess or something. Okay. Cause she's from Missouri, I think. Yeah. And they, I guess the
00:30:02.640 Harris walls campaign kind of used her merchandise as inspiration. They have this like camo hat with
00:30:11.760 Harris walls on it. That looks a lot like her merchandise. Um, in June Roan revealed that she
00:30:18.340 had declined an invitation to perform at the white house's pride festivities. She later explained to
00:30:23.460 Rolling Stone that she did not want to be a monkey for pride. Summarizing her political outlook as
00:30:29.300 I'm pretty F the government and F everything that's going on right now. I don't have a side
00:30:34.580 because I hate both sides and I'm so embarrassed about everything going on right now. And she said,
00:30:39.960 it's not so black and white. You hate one, you like the other. And I think that that's also a really
00:30:45.940 good point. I think people should remember though, it is because she is more liberal than the Democrat
00:30:50.980 party, not because she's somewhere in the middle. You've got a lot of these preteens that probably
00:30:57.120 bullied Taylor Swift also bullying Chapel Roan saying, uh, this person, I have no idea who this
00:31:04.020 person is, but they've got like a trans flag and a gay flag in their little X handles. Uh, the reality
00:31:10.560 is Chapel Roan is a white feminist on a path of pretending to give an F about people, some other
00:31:18.500 people who were, uh, who's had the same thing that she's old enough to remember Trump's first term.
00:31:24.800 That's another thing about all this. Like Haley Williams being like, do you want to live in a
00:31:28.760 dictatorship? Did we get anywhere close to that when Donald Trump was president last time? Like y'all
00:31:33.500 remember he was the 45th president of the United States. Do we get anywhere close to living in a
00:31:38.700 dictatorship then? No. So I would love to know, I would love to know your citations here. What are
00:31:46.980 your sources? Why do you think that he is going to bring about a dictatorship? I can actually promise
00:31:51.820 you. Does that make you feel better? I promise you that he won't. I promise you that he will not.
00:31:59.040 Chapel's recent response clarifying her political beliefs didn't really make people a whole lot
00:32:05.380 happier. Here's thought three. So here from my mouth, if you're still wondering, no, I'm not voting
00:32:15.080 for Trump. And yes, I will always question those in power and those making decisions over other people.
00:32:26.180 And I will stand up for what's right and what I believe in. And like, it's always at the forefront
00:32:31.500 of my project. And I'm sorry that you fell for the clickbait.
00:32:35.640 Right. She said that her number one issue is trans rights, right? Yeah. She said the change she wants
00:32:43.320 to see in the U.S. this election year is trans rights. Imagine that being your number one issue.
00:32:48.720 I know. Like, what does that even mean? Like, your number one issue is that you want men to be
00:32:54.960 in women's locker rooms? Number one, like that is what you will live and die for. Yeah.
00:33:00.860 Yeah. Okay. Or like what? 12-year-olds getting double mastectomies. That is your number one
00:33:07.820 thing. How to Lulu in your mind you have to be to think that that is okay, much less your number
00:33:15.600 one priority. And so I just think it's funny how there can be no deviation at all among celebrities
00:33:23.520 without being utterly attacked. They have to give all of these statements. But I actually think that
00:33:29.800 even though I completely disagree with her on her morality and ideology, I actually think she gave
00:33:37.520 kind of reasonable responses. And if she stands strong on that and doesn't apologize, I say good
00:33:46.040 job. I can at least respect that. I can respect staying strong, not bowing to peer pressure,
00:33:54.760 and not apologizing. So in that sense, good for you. But I do hope that you one day believe in
00:34:05.360 Jesus. Jennifer Lawrence endorsed Kamala Harris. And here's what she said.
00:34:13.280 Abortion is literally on the ballot, the Oscar-winning actress told People magazine yesterday. I voted for
00:34:18.380 Kamala Harris because I think she's an amazing candidate. And I know that she will do whatever she can to
00:34:23.840 protect reproductive rights. That's the most important thing is to not let somebody into the
00:34:29.860 White House who is going to ban abortion. Okay, think again, think about this. Think about this
00:34:36.680 because we Christians, we pro-lifers are attacked for being one issue voters, for caring so much about
00:34:44.020 abortion. First of all, that's not my only issue, but it is a top issue because you're literally talking
00:34:48.860 about killing babies. But it's actually the left who has made this their one issue.
00:34:54.820 Billie Eilish, Jennifer Lawrence, Steph Curry, the professing Christian Steph Curry, Taylor Swift.
00:35:02.640 All of these celebrities have said that their number one or one of their top issues in this election
00:35:09.380 is the right to poison and dismember babies. I mean, just imagine that. We're not talking about
00:35:16.700 reproductive rights. You have the right to reproduce, but you should not have the right to kill the child
00:35:22.320 that you've just reproduced. If you do not want to produce a child, do not have sex. I know that's
00:35:29.900 so radical and people think that's just the most irrational thing. It is literally the most logical
00:35:36.540 thing. If you do not want a baby, don't have sex. Sex is created to make babies. It doesn't always
00:35:46.120 make babies, but that is its purpose in principle. If you do not want to reproduce, do not do the act
00:35:56.120 of reproduction. Do not make an innocent child pay for the consequences of your choices as an adult.
00:36:07.160 And then we hear the what abouts. Well, what about rape? That accounts for far less than 1% of all
00:36:12.440 abortion cases. Okay. Rape is terrible. I believe in death penalty for rapists, but not for the baby
00:36:19.160 who was conceived in rape because I'm not, I'm not an animal. I don't believe in the death penalty for
00:36:25.800 babies. I believe in the death penalty for murderers and for rapists. Of course, that is called like
00:36:32.200 rightly ordered, a rightly ordered perspective on justice. And so all of these people have a completely
00:36:40.440 warped sense of right and wrong. It's the complete opposite of what they think is good, right, and
00:36:47.440 true. She pushed this disinformation that people are dying. Women are dying. She said, we have to
00:36:55.600 enlighten people's idea of what abortion is and why certain people need abortions. Certain people,
00:37:00.660 which ones, I don't know, women, not women, and why it's so important to keep lawmakers out of families
00:37:05.680 and out of people's doctors' offices. These laws are made by random white men. Random. Not ones that
00:37:12.540 are elected, I guess. Random white men. And they're not made by healthcare providers. Well, some of those
00:37:19.260 legislators are healthcare providers, by the way. But yeah, that is, I mean, of course, that is the
00:37:25.720 democratic republic that we live in, that we have elected officials that make policy, that write bills,
00:37:32.100 that are either signed into law or not. That is this democratic system that you guys said that you
00:37:39.600 care about. And when it comes to a human being that should have a right to life, of course, the law
00:37:45.920 should have something to say about that. And you don't actually believe in getting the law out of
00:37:51.540 doctors' offices and out of people's bodies because all of you were for a forced vaccine just a few
00:37:57.740 years ago. So which one is it? Do you actually believe in bodily autonomy when it comes to
00:38:03.980 something like vaccines? Or do you only believe in so-called bodily autonomy when it comes to
00:38:09.800 ripping children apart? Just curious. All right. We got to talk about a little more news. And I think
00:38:18.580 one of the biggest reasons to not vote for Kamala Harris, and that is, of course, illegal immigration.
00:38:24.280 Let me pause and tell you about our next sponsor, and that is Covenant Eyes. Covenant Eyes is such
00:38:30.900 an important tool for you and your family. If you are fighting for purity, whether you have ever
00:38:37.360 looked at porn or not, whether this is something that is a struggle for you or a struggle for someone
00:38:43.220 in your family or something that you just want to prevent, that you want to protect your kids from,
00:38:47.280 you need Covenant Eyes. In 2016, Barna conducted a study and found that one in three Christian
00:38:53.040 women were struggling with pornography use, Christian women. So this is no longer just a male issue,
00:38:58.500 and this is not just a non-Christian issue. This is something that affects everyone. And so Covenant Eyes
00:39:05.280 has created this amazing resource that is just for women by women. Arise is a 21-day video series
00:39:14.800 from Covenant Eyes designed specifically for Christian women, help them overcome pornography addiction,
00:39:22.140 and begin their journey to sexual healing. Go to ariseforwomen.com. Ariseforwomen.com.
00:39:34.340 Okay, so with all the stories that have come out in the last couple weeks, I mean, gosh,
00:39:39.600 in the last several years, but especially in the last couple weeks about the violence, the crimes that
00:39:46.140 have been committed by people who have no right to be here, illegal aliens, like I'm saying that I would
00:39:53.120 vote for Donald Trump because of his promise to carry out mass deportations alone. Like that would,
00:40:03.240 that could be my sole reason to vote for Donald Trump. Of course, abortion is my top issue because
00:40:09.680 it's a matter of life and death. Of course, I care about so many other things when it comes to this
00:40:16.160 election and what's at stake, but we can't fight for any of those things if we don't have a country.
00:40:22.280 And you don't have a country if you don't have sovereignty, and you don't have sovereignty if
00:40:26.680 you don't have borders, and you don't have borders if you allow people in illegally without consequence.
00:40:32.380 And that is our current system right now that has been purposely created by the Biden administration.
00:40:37.500 This is not just something that accidentally happened. This is a purposeful policy choice
00:40:44.940 by Democrats and some Republicans too, but namely the Biden administration, who has actively undermined
00:40:52.860 every single effort by the state of Texas to guard its own borders, taking away barbed wire,
00:41:00.200 taking away the buoys that have been put in place, ensuring that these illegal aliens,
00:41:06.220 no matter their background, can infiltrate the United States without the fear of deportation.
00:41:12.900 They have been actively bused and flown into several cities across the country. And this is not,
00:41:19.380 it's not actually just illegal aliens from Mexico or South America. We're talking about from Haiti.
00:41:26.700 We're talking about from Africa. We're talking about from the Middle East, from China.
00:41:30.860 Africa. Everywhere around the world, we are seeing these military-aged men, many of them on the
00:41:36.140 terrorist watch list, many of them with backgrounds that we don't know about at all, and we will never
00:41:42.440 know about, coming into the United States and wreaking havoc. And whether or not they commit a crime
00:41:50.080 after they cross the border illegally is really kind of like irrelevant to me. You don't have a right
00:41:54.940 to be here. You're not a citizen. You don't have any legal documentation at all. We have absolutely
00:42:02.620 no responsibility whatsoever to allow anyone to be here who wants to be here. There is a legal process
00:42:10.740 to gain citizenship in the United States that should be stringent. It should be difficult. There
00:42:16.700 should be hoops to jump through, but it shouldn't be as difficult as it is for really good, responsible,
00:42:23.200 hardworking people from around the world to become legal citizens when it is this easy to become
00:42:29.480 an illegal alien, to be subsidized by the government, to be shielded from deportation, and in some cases
00:42:37.400 shielded from incarceration. That is a messed up system. Donald Trump says that he is going to execute
00:42:45.220 a large-scale deportation of violent criminal aliens when he becomes president. That's got me saying
00:42:54.420 hallelujah and amen. I hope and pray that Donald Trump wins just for that issue alone. Let me tell
00:43:04.280 you a little bit about what's been happening. This is from Bill Melugin at Fox News. He is the best
00:43:10.800 reporter on immigration that we've got. He is on the ground almost constantly reporting what's going
00:43:16.920 on there. Four illegal aliens were charged with raping or sexually assaulting Nantucket children
00:43:22.360 and other residents. In a multi-day operation on Nantucket Island, ICE's Boston office announces
00:43:29.740 they arrested four illegal aliens who are charged with raping or sexually assaulting Nantucket children,
00:43:35.400 all of whom were released from local custody despite the serious charges. Nantucket isn't
00:43:43.260 explicitly a sanctuary jurisdiction, but like in most places in Massachusetts, local officials
00:43:49.880 are progressive. They typically don't report immigrants accused of crimes to immigration
00:43:55.720 authorities. On September 10th, ICE's enforcement and removal operations of Boston arrested 28-year-old
00:44:03.740 Salvadorian illegal alien Brian Daniel Aldana Arevalo, who was charged with one count of
00:44:10.360 rape of a child with a 10-year age difference and two counts of indecent assault and battery on a child
00:44:16.820 under 14. It is unclear when they entered the United States. This arrest by ICE officials came after he was
00:44:25.360 previously arrested and then released on bail by Nantucket District Court on July 29th. And so he had
00:44:32.520 already committed one of these egregious crimes against children and then he was released from custody
00:44:38.420 because this is what progressives do when you vote for a Democrat. This is what you get. You get chaos.
00:44:45.240 You get lawlessness. You get violence because they are actively incentivized, I think, by profit to
00:44:52.140 release violent criminals onto the streets. And if you're asking why, most of them probably aren't
00:44:59.040 thinking beyond their funding and their careers, the power that is ensured when they become puppets of
00:45:06.520 Soros and other liberal billionaire activists. But the large-scale goal is absolutely the dissolution
00:45:14.420 and destruction of the United States because a strong United States is a hedge against the global
00:45:20.540 regime. And the takeover that they obviously are trying to accomplish through laws like the one
00:45:27.180 past in the EU that we talked about with Justin Haskins. Now, if that sounds too fantastical, too
00:45:32.400 conspiratorial to you, I totally understand. I really do. If I were in your position and I were just living
00:45:39.440 my life and not reading about this stuff on a daily basis, I would think that too. And maybe it's just easier
00:45:44.760 for you to believe that. And I understand that as well. But I hate to tell you, it's real. That is what is
00:45:55.560 actually going on here. And that's who Kamala Harris is, too. And that is why she pushed these sanctuary
00:46:01.520 city policies, these open border policies, even when she was district attorney of San Francisco,
00:46:07.100 even when she was attorney general of California. Remember, Kate Steinle died under her watch,
00:46:14.080 under Kamala Harris's watch. Kate Steinle, the young 32-year-old woman in San Francisco who was walking
00:46:20.080 down a pier with her dad one afternoon and an illegal alien shot her in the back. Her last words
00:46:25.500 were, help me, daddy. And she took her last breath and she died. And that man had a violent criminal
00:46:32.460 history and yet had been arrested and let go multiple times because of San Francisco's sanctuary
00:46:39.400 city policies, which, of course, Kamala Harris endorses. As we have played you, she has said many times,
00:46:46.380 even over the past few years, that crossing the border illegally should not be considered a crime.
00:46:53.080 If that's the case, then that means that the government has no right to deport illegal aliens.
00:46:59.020 We're at best, in her mind, we're supposed to wait until they rape someone?
00:47:04.440 Until they sell a child into sex trafficking? Until they kill someone? That's Kamala Harris for you.
00:47:13.780 That's who she has always been. Remember, she has been the border czar for the past four years. And
00:47:19.120 they're trying to deny that now because it is such chaos. She hasn't even visited the border.
00:47:25.240 Lakin Riley, her blood is on Kamala Harris's hands. These are the policies that she has pushed
00:47:32.740 that have led to these horrific crimes, even in a place like Nantucket. We've got another story
00:47:39.960 from this month. Man accused of abducting Manassas' girl is an illegal immigrant and he was captured
00:47:47.300 and released at the southern border. Two weeks ago, 23-year-old Enrique Ramirez Cabrera pulled up
00:47:53.640 to a girl as she was walking to school, claimed he was a police officer, then pulled her into his car.
00:47:59.100 Shortly after the girl was kidnapped, she was able to escape from her kidnapper by jumping from the car.
00:48:04.240 Praise God. Ramirez Cabrera is allegedly a Peruvian illegal immigrant who was caught at the Arizona
00:48:12.200 border last December and released into the U.S. We even have his picture. And this is a preventable
00:48:23.220 crime. Remember, every single crime committed by an illegal alien is a preventable crime. That is the
00:48:29.500 difference between crimes committed by citizens and crimes committed by these aliens. Because people
00:48:36.220 point out, oh, well, actually illegal aliens commit fewer crimes than citizens. First of all, we don't know
00:48:42.780 that. They are, by definition, undocumented. So there's no way for us to have proper statistics, proper data
00:48:49.000 on that. And even if that were true, it doesn't matter. Because, first of all, they're all criminals
00:48:54.600 because they crossed the border illegally. They've already committed a crime. But even if you excluded
00:49:01.200 that, any crime committed by an illegal alien is one too many. We have the right and the responsibility
00:49:07.920 to protect our borders. If a country doesn't want to let anyone in, that is their right. I don't even
00:49:13.580 think that is, in principle, evil. If a country, say Zimbabwe, say China, say Japan, if they decided,
00:49:24.180 you know what, we're going to put a moratorium on immigration and we're just not accepting anybody
00:49:30.000 right now because we've got to take care of our own, we've got a lot going on, and we just cannot
00:49:34.680 support more people right now, that's not immoral. That's not unethical. America has been extremely
00:49:42.720 gracious to a fault in our acceptance of immigrants over the years. But every country has a right to
00:49:52.000 manage its immigration policy, and you have to have borders to protect your own citizens,
00:49:56.800 to protect their rights, to protect their well-being. That doesn't mean that every immigrant
00:50:02.200 is a bad person or shouldn't be here. Some of the best people in our lives, some of my favorite people,
00:50:08.120 the hardest working people, some of the godliest people in our lives is a family that immigrated
00:50:13.940 from Africa, and they did so legally, and they are citizens, and they have a beautiful family, and we
00:50:19.640 love them so much, and I wish that there were a million more of them, and a million fewer libs in
00:50:28.700 Portland, Oregon. And so it's not about skin color. It's not even necessarily about nationality.
00:50:36.020 It's about protecting your citizens. It's about caring about order. It's about caring about the
00:50:42.480 law. It's about citizenship and what that actually means and the rights that that comes with.
00:50:50.280 You'll remember I posted this on Instagram. The United States House passes a bill, thankfully,
00:50:55.720 requiring, requiring the deportation of illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes. 158 Democrats
00:51:03.200 voted no. 158 Democrats voted no. Think about that. That alone is a reason not to vote Democrat.
00:51:19.400 I've got a little more to say about that. Let me tell you about our last sponsor for the day.
00:51:22.740 It's Chase Medical. We don't know what's going to happen in the next few months. You want to make sure
00:51:26.640 that your medical needs are taken care of. If you or your family member come down with a serious
00:51:32.380 infection, you need antibiotics fast, and for whatever reason, you're not able to get them
00:51:36.740 through the traditional means. You want to make sure that you've got an emergency stash. That's what
00:51:41.260 you can get through Chase Medical. You can get your Chase case with common antibiotics for the most
00:51:47.100 common infections, and you can also add things like an EpiPen, or you can add ivermectin. All of these
00:51:54.060 things can really come in handy when you need them most. You can also get a Chase daily case,
00:51:58.920 and that is a year-long supply of the medications, the prescriptions that you and your family rely on.
00:52:05.320 Go ahead and do it now. It is so much better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your medical
00:52:09.820 needs. Go to jace.com. Use code Allie at checkout for a discount on your order. That's promo code

00:52:30.740 the depiction of a wall in scripture, whether it's metaphorical or literal, it is a symbol of security,
00:52:38.960 of stability, of protection. Heaven has walls. This idea that Christians have imbibed via, again, toxic
00:52:53.820 empathy, that to love our neighbor means preferring the illegal gang member sex trafficker at the expense
00:53:08.200 of our child neighbor is utterly demonic. Every time Satan is depicted in scripture, he is depicted
00:53:18.420 as an author of chaos. Lawlessness, the man of lawlessness, is actually depicted in the end times
00:53:28.180 as stirring up anarchy and hardship. Laws were God's idea. Governments were instituted by God,
00:53:36.720 we read in Romans 13. To carry out execution, to use the sword against the wrongdoer, and to reward
00:53:45.960 those who are doing good. God is a God of order. God is the God of hierarchies. We see from the
00:53:54.760 beginning that God cares very much about organization. He carries very much about structure. He has a way of
00:54:02.280 doing things. He has set up particular orders for our good. He defined gender and marriage and family and
00:54:10.340 the value of human life all in the very first chapter of the first book of the Bible. God places the man and
00:54:18.120 the woman in a garden, not in a jungle, but in a carefully cultivated garden. God is a God of order.
00:54:28.040 From order comes beauty. From chaos and lawlessness comes pain and destruction. When I look at the policies of
00:54:37.540 Kamala Harris, I see institutionalized degeneracy by her celebration of transgenderism, her celebration of
00:54:50.340 sexual immorality and its consequences, which is the slaughter of unborn children. I see chaos through her
00:54:58.140 open border policy that she has championed her entire career. And when I see Donald Trump as imperfect
00:55:04.980 as he may be, I see policies that align more with order. And these policies really affect people. These victims
00:55:14.000 of these illegal aliens, their lives matter. It's okay to say that. Countries are like families. Just
00:55:21.580 because you put your family first doesn't mean you hate your neighbors. Just because you lock your doors
00:55:26.380 at night doesn't mean you even distrust your neighbors. It just means that you want to keep
00:55:33.500 your family safe. And in fact, if you didn't have walls in your home, if you didn't lock your door
00:55:39.300 and you allowed strangers into your home to take your children's beds, to eat your children's food,
00:55:46.960 that would not make you loving and kind. That would make you a horrible parent.
00:55:51.780 That would actually make you very cruel and unwise. I think we can think of our country the same way.
00:55:58.460 God does not call us to have equal love and equal care for all people at all times. We don't have the
00:56:07.220 capacity to do that. That's why he's given us families and communities and why we have cities
00:56:12.200 and states and countries. That's about as big as our love can get. And we have love for the body of
00:56:19.040 Christ, of course. But he has created these structures because he understands human capacity
00:56:25.620 and borders are one way that allows human beings and societies to thrive. I'm going to vote for the
00:56:33.720 candidate that cares about our borders. All right. That's all we've got time for today. We'll be back
00:56:39.600 here tomorrow.
