Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 1080 ｜ Kamala's 'Call Her Daddy' Catastrophe

00:00:00.900 Kamala Harris went on Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast, and surprise, surprise,

00:00:05.820 they got literally everything wrong. So we will be fact-checking them today. And also,

00:00:10.560 Elon Musk talks about toxic empathy? Kind of. We'll get into all of that on today's episode

00:00:16.080 of Relatable. It's brought to you by our friends at Good Ranchers. Go to GoodRanchers.com,

00:00:30.000 Hey, guys, and welcome to Relatable. Happy Wednesday. Hope everyone has had a wonderful

00:00:36.400 week so far. All right. I am thinking about and praying for our friends in Florida in the path

00:00:44.340 of Hurricane Milton. I'm sure you guys are just so exhausted. And I'm not only praying for Florida,

00:00:51.380 I'm also praying for the Southeast of the United States, North Carolina, East Tennessee,

00:00:55.780 even parts of South Carolina and Georgia that have been affected by Hurricane Helene. You guys

00:01:01.320 are still recovering. And we don't have time today to get into all of the different theories and

00:01:06.920 concerns and questions about the recovery and rescue effort, what part the government has played

00:01:13.680 and has not played in the past couple of weeks there. We will have an episode dedicated to that,

00:01:20.780 going through a lot of the questions, what some people are calling the conspiracies. But

00:01:25.080 I just want to make sure that we have all of the facts on that before I just present you with

00:01:30.620 the theories, because I don't want to cause more confusion and more chaos, especially to a people

00:01:36.380 that really need as much clarity and stability as possible right now. So as soon as we have all

00:01:42.620 this efficient information and research on that, we're going to dig into some of those questions.

00:01:48.040 But for those of you who want to contribute to recovery efforts in Florida, I encourage you

00:01:54.760 donate to pregnancy centers in Florida. There's one in particular that I've been connected to. I had

00:02:01.500 the privilege of meeting the people that run this clinic in Brandon, Florida. So they're a bit

00:02:07.080 inland. They're outside of Tampa, but they really serve the larger area around them, including Tampa.

00:02:14.280 This is Choices Clinic. They're a pro-life pregnancy center around or outside of Tampa,

00:02:21.080 and they are saving babies' lives by serving their mothers, providing them with free resources

00:02:28.740 that make it easier to welcome this little life into the world. And they have sent me a link

00:02:36.240 to their baby registry on Amazon, and we will link that in the description of this episode.

00:02:43.860 Please donate whatever you can. We can also link the website of that clinic if you just want to

00:02:51.120 donate funds to them directly. But they're taking things like pack and plays, diapers, wipes,

00:02:57.940 onesies, all kinds of things. They're probably going to have even greater needs than ever in the

00:03:03.980 coming weeks. And they've asked that because we asked about timing. They've asked that you would

00:03:09.940 go ahead and donate if you can. They can go ahead and get those resources very quickly. That's one

00:03:16.480 great thing about Amazon. They can get there today. They can get there overnight, and they can go ahead

00:03:22.340 and receive those. And because they are a bit inland, they can actually receive more items than maybe

00:03:29.320 some of the clinics that are actually in Tampa, but they can still serve those in the entire area.

00:03:36.040 So go ahead, go to the description of this episode and donate whatever you can via Amazon and just continue

00:03:42.960 to lift these people up in prayer. When disaster strikes, that's when we see Christians stand up.

00:03:50.920 You've seen a lot of understandably fearful people, stranded people, vulnerable people,

00:03:56.740 and the past few weeks feel completely abandoned by the government, which is supposed to be made up

00:04:05.440 of public servants. And in that vacuum, you've seen a fearless church. You've seen a courageous church.

00:04:13.380 You've seen Christians doing what Christians have always done since the inception of the church, 0.81

00:04:19.920 and that is seek and rescue the lost physically and then also spiritually as we share the gospel and we

00:04:27.440 make clear that the love and generosity that we have for other people is because of God's love and

00:04:34.060 generosity toward us. The grace and the mercy that we show others, the compassion that we show others

00:04:39.220 is because of the grace, the mercy, the compassion that was poured out for us undeservedly, of course,

00:04:45.540 on the cross. And so I'm so thankful for the church. I'm not thankful, of course, for what I find to be a

00:04:53.640 dereliction of duty by the government, but I am thankful for how that darkness has allowed the church

00:05:02.200 to shine so brightly because that is what it does. So praise the Lord for that. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for being

00:05:09.240 our helper, for giving us bravery and boldness. And thank you to everyone who has sent material

00:05:16.160 resources. Even if you are struggling yourself in these economically turbulent times, your generosity,

00:05:23.740 just like the widow's might, means a lot to the Lord, and it can make a difference in the lives of

00:05:28.820 people. So just continue to pray and to keep these people in mind. All right, today we're going to be

00:05:35.540 fact-checking some stuff because as a part of the country is really struggling, Kamala Harris

00:05:42.080 is going on her podcast tour, which I can't necessarily blame her for doing because this is

00:05:50.020 a campaign. She does want to win. I've seen a lot of people say this is entirely inappropriate for her 1.00

00:05:55.800 to be going on podcasts while she is not only running for president, but she is serving as vice

00:06:01.120 president right now and Americans are suffering. And I see that perspective. On the other hand,

00:06:08.500 I can also see why just objectively, why her campaign would want to go ahead and take this

00:06:15.560 opportunity because she is gunning for the white woman vote. If you've been paying attention,

00:06:21.480 that's who she's been focusing on from the very beginning. She wants every white woman vote that she 1.00

00:06:26.600 can get. She knows she does not have to fight for the black vote, especially the black female vote. 1.00

00:06:32.320 You can get mad at that all you want to. We'll see the polling numbers after this election. She does 1.00

00:06:37.560 not have to fight for their votes. She has to fight for the white woman vote. This was a huge opportunity 0.66

00:06:42.620 to do that and being on this podcast, call her daddy. And so I could see why she did it. The optics don't 1.00

00:06:49.060 look good. It's not great PR in a lot of ways. If I had been her team, I probably would have said,

00:06:55.580 yes, we're taking this opportunity, but let's hold the episode for a couple of weeks. And even I'm

00:07:01.960 just speaking cynically and politically here, even just for the sake of visuals, for the sake of PR,

00:07:08.580 I would have said, you know, let's get, let's get Harris out there on the ground in Florida,

00:07:13.400 on the ground in the Southeast, make sure people know that this is her number one priority,

00:07:19.640 that she's really serving these people, passing out water bottles. And then we can put out the,

00:07:24.920 call her daddy episode. That would have been, I think, just from a strategic perspective,

00:07:30.700 the best bet. Of course, the best thing to do would be for her to really, really care about

00:07:35.600 what's going on among her fellow Americans and those hurting. But I'm not sure if we can really

00:07:43.000 expect that at this point. President Trump, on the other hand, has been on the ground and it does seem

00:07:48.740 that he has been listening to these people and helping how he can. And that is good strategy

00:07:55.360 wise, but it's also just the right thing to do. But all of that aside, we need to look at the

00:08:01.560 substance of this episode. Will people be convinced by it? Will they be persuaded by it? Maybe, but only

00:08:09.860 if you don't have very much knowledge. And if you have very few critical thinking skills, you don't even

00:08:15.340 have to be a conservative or a Christian to listen to some of what was said and ask yourself,

00:08:20.760 hmm, does that sound right? Is that really true? So we're going to be digging into that today and

00:08:25.800 hopefully equip you with some tools as you are talking about all of these crazy topics with your

00:08:31.800 friends in the coming weeks, because the election is coming up, y'all. It is less than a month away.

00:08:37.220 Insane. And so now's the time to be bold and to represent what you know is true and all the

00:08:42.780 conversations that you have. All right. Before we get into all that fact checking, let me pause,

00:08:47.700 tell you about our first sponsor for the day. And it is Cozy Earth. I love Cozy Earth. Maybe you live

00:08:53.260 in a part of the country where you actually can feel cozy. It's a little brisk outside and you can warm

00:09:00.400 yourself up by the fire and you're looking for some luxurious lounge wear. And so you need to check

00:09:08.840 out Cozy Earth because you will love their pajamas. You will love their lounge wear. It will keep you

00:09:14.000 so cozy, so warm. This is the best lounge wear that I have ever owned. I have a quarters that I wear all

00:09:22.480 the time, even though where I live, we don our fall costume, meaning we might wear a sweater, but it is

00:09:28.700 not actually needed. We are wearing it to represent that we are in autumn, even though our weather tells

00:09:34.920 us that it is the 4th of July. And yet I still wear, I still wear my Cozy Earth because it is

00:09:40.520 temperature regulating. It is really breathable, not just their clothing, but especially their sheets.

00:09:46.260 I love their sheets. I love their towels. I got their new waffle towels recently. Love them. I never

00:09:51.620 want to use anything else. If you go to CozyEarth.com slash relatable, you can use my code relatable and

00:09:57.980 you'll get up to 40% off. That's CozyEarth.com slash relatable for up to 40% off with code relatable.

00:10:09.800 All right. Call her daddy. If you've never heard of call her daddy, congratulations. That is very

00:10:16.000 good. In fact, I think that you are holier than everyone else simply for never having heard of the

00:10:23.500 title of this podcast and I'm very sorry to corrupt you, but unfortunately it is now interfered with

00:10:29.640 our political discussions. And so we have to talk about it. I first heard about call her daddy several

00:10:34.660 years ago, probably when I was starting relatable because it was such a popular podcast and I've

00:10:39.400 never listened to call her daddy because it was pretty obvious what it was about. It was, uh, begun by

00:10:45.520 two girls, two women, uh, Sophia Franklin and Alex Cooper. And they really just talked about sex

00:10:51.760 and that's really all it was about. And then Cooper and Franklin, they had a whole falling out. We could

00:10:57.120 do an entire episode analyzing that drama and that was in 2020. But then a year later, Cooper landed a

00:11:03.560 $60 million deal with Spotify. So she became the sole host of call her daddy. Sophia Franklin tried to go 0.99

00:11:10.220 off and do her own thing that didn't work. So I'm sure Alex Cooper is feeling like she made the right

00:11:15.900 decision. It has now become the most listened to podcast by women on Spotify. It was Spotify second

00:11:23.080 biggest podcast last year. And she also just signed a deal. I believe Brie with Sirius XM for $125

00:11:31.880 million. Okay. So this was, uh, has been a sex podcast. I don't know if she would continue to call

00:11:41.200 it a sex podcast. I think she would, you know, probably call it just a culture podcast because 1.00

00:11:46.420 she's had Simone Biles, Hayley Bieber, Megan Fox, Gwyneth Paltrow on. Um, but the titles of the

00:11:54.820 episodes are still very X-rated cheating one-on-one, my revenge porn experience, an episode about

00:12:01.660 slut camp, some things that I literally can't say. It's very graphic. Basically she talks about,

00:12:08.460 and this is her brand and has been her entire brand being promiscuous and trying to present the case 0.99

00:12:18.060 that women are just like men when it comes to sex, that they want sex just as much as men do. 0.98

00:12:23.580 They can sleep around just as much as men have slept around and they don't have any emotional 1.00

00:12:30.540 attachments to those men. It means nothing to them on a spiritual or moral level. And unfortunately,

00:12:38.200 there are people, even conservatives, there are Trump supporters who faithfully listen to

00:12:45.480 the call her daddy podcast. And it should not be surprising that Alex Cooper is also a lib,

00:12:52.920 not surprising at all, because as much as the Democrats say that they're about freedom and

00:12:58.200 liberty, they're actually about libertinism. When they're talking about freedom, as we've said before,

00:13:03.480 they're talking about two things. They're not talking about your first and second amendment

00:13:07.540 rights. They're not talking about your bodily autonomy when it comes to vaccines. They're not

00:13:12.340 talking about free speech, freedom of religion, or even your ability to defend yourself, how you see fit.

00:13:18.140 They're not talking about those things. When Democrats talk about freedom, they're talking about two

00:13:22.380 things and two things that go hand in hand, sexual immorality and abortion. So they're not really

00:13:29.140 even talking about liberty in the positive sense. They are talking about libertinism. They're talking

00:13:34.320 about sexual degeneracy, your freedom to do all kinds of sexually depraved things and to be celebrated 1.00

00:13:42.420 and affirmed in those choices, but also your choice to kill your baby. And so when they say that they are 0.99

00:13:49.180 on the side of freedom, they're always talking about those two things, whether it's pornography in

00:13:53.440 schools, whether it's teaching kids in school that they are born in the wrong body, whether it's

00:13:59.300 mutilating a person, even a minor's body in the name of gender identity, or talking about two men

00:14:08.220 being able to employ subsidized reproductive health services to buy eggs and rent wombs to have a child 0.98

00:14:18.820 and forcing you, by the way, to pay taxes in support of that, they always, freedom always falls under

00:14:26.820 those two umbrellas. They're not talking about the freedoms that actually affect your life in a

00:14:33.200 positive way. They're talking about the freedoms that hurt us as a society and specifically hurt

00:14:39.200 children. So it shouldn't be surprising that someone who has talked about slut camp and how women should

00:14:46.440 sleep around as much as possible is a liberal. Of course, she aligns with their definitions of 0.98

00:14:53.680 right and wrong. It also shouldn't surprise us that Alex Cooper is a big supporter of abortion. Her

00:15:01.100 website, Alex Cooper's website, she uses a free news headline to talk to her, to take users to abortion

00:15:10.200 information on her site. And it says, if you're looking for financial support for abortion care. So

00:15:17.300 if you need help paying someone to kill your baby, to poison or starve or dismember your baby, 0.99

00:15:23.940 then Alex Cooper makes that as easy as possible. It's no surprise that President Trump, by the way, 0.99

00:15:30.080 denied the request to be on this show. Some people said, well, that's a mistake. This is a huge show.

00:15:35.720 There's probably a lot of people. There are a lot of people that listen to or watch her that

00:15:40.140 love Trump. It could have humanized him. Look, that was never going to be a good idea. She would

00:15:46.780 have trapped him with all kinds of questions. It's so obvious that she is against him. Now he could

00:15:52.220 have probably charmed her, but he would have ended up saying a lot of dumb stuff that would have made 0.91

00:15:57.460 conservatives and evangelicals and pro-lifers even matter than they already are at Trump. And again, 0.57

00:16:04.620 just the timing with the hurricane, I don't think was smart. So that's why. That's why we only have

00:16:10.660 Kamala Harris. So Alex Cooper claimed that she prepared seven different versions of the interview

00:16:16.420 when trying to decide which topics to cover the economy, border control, fracking. And yeah,

00:16:22.720 that's a little bit hard to, it's hard to believe because while she might be savvy business wise, 0.67

00:16:28.720 I think that's absolutely true. And so she's got her smarts in her own way. You will hear as she

00:16:33.400 talks. She's not secretly brilliant. She's not, she doesn't really know what she's talking about 0.56

00:16:38.580 at all. Her arguments are not good. It's not just that she has a Valley girl voice, but underneath

00:16:43.820 all of that is some like scholarly, really deep and wise person. No, she is very superficial and just 0.96

00:16:52.680 not very smart when it comes to this stuff. She says that she landed on this. The conversation I know

00:16:58.860 I'm qualified to have is one surrounding women's bodies, right? And how we are treated and valued 1.00

00:17:05.320 in this country. Actually, you have no authority whatsoever because you have been convincing women, 1.00

00:17:13.280 preaching to women about denigrating their bodies and objectifying their bodies and being used 0.94

00:17:19.240 by men for pleasure for years. I mean, who knows how many hearts have been broken? How many bodies have

00:17:27.480 been harmed? How many relationships have been severed? How much mental stability and peace have

00:17:34.460 been robbed from women because of Alex Cooper's podcast. So you have the authority to talk about

00:17:41.280 this in the same way that Satan has the authority to talk about righteousness. He only knows about

00:17:47.000 righteousness because he knows a lot about sin. So in that sense, sure, sure. So about 20 minutes in,

00:17:55.720 they're talking about abortion. And of course, they go back and forth on a lot of different

00:18:01.300 propaganda using toxic empathy to try to say that the woman is actually the victim in the abortion

00:18:08.680 scenario. And to try to say all of these laws restrict a woman from being able to exercise her bodily 1.00

00:18:15.860 autonomy. She uses the example of a woman who is raped. She should have control of what happens to her 0.92

00:18:25.240 body next if she was impregnated. That's why she needs an abortion. Just a reminder that rape is less than 1.00

00:18:32.000 one percent, less than one percent of every of of abortion cases in America. Less than one percent. That's

00:18:43.120 according to the Guttmacher Institute. The Guttmacher Institute is the Planned Parenthood research arm. And of course,

00:18:49.900 Kamala Harris and no pro-choice person that I know only believes in exceptions for rape or incest. 0.95

00:18:56.840 They only bring that up to create this narrative of toxic empathy and make you forget about the baby

00:19:04.360 who is actually the one bearing the brunt of abortion. And by the way, abortion doesn't fix rape. 1.00

00:19:12.500 The rapist should get the death penalty, not the baby who did nothing wrong. But again, that is a very small

00:19:23.080 percentage of the women who are seeking abortions. And there's no reason to bring that up unless you believe

00:19:29.360 that that should be the only exception for abortion. Kamala Harris does not care how a baby was conceived when it 1.00

00:19:36.700 comes to whether or not a woman should have a right to abortion. She thinks no matter what the reason is, a woman 0.99

00:19:42.280 should have a right to abortion. And then she brings out what she has said many times because she's 1.00

00:19:47.640 gunning not only for the white woman vote, but for the Christian mom vote specifically. And this is how 1.00

00:19:54.180 they use toxic empathy. This is how she even uses and misuses and abuses theology. She says, you don't

00:20:01.540 have to abandon your deeply held beliefs. You don't have to abandon your faith to agree the government

00:20:07.080 shouldn't be telling her what to do. If she chooses, she can talk to her priest, her pastor,

00:20:13.500 her rabbi, or her imam, but not the government telling you what to do. Look, if the government

00:20:20.700 does not have a role in protecting innocent people from being murdered, then the government doesn't have

00:20:26.180 a role in anything. By this logic, it should not be illegal to kill anyone outside of the womb.

00:20:32.300 It shouldn't be illegal to do anything. Of course, it is the government's job, even according to the

00:20:38.140 Bible in Romans 13, to tell people what to do and what not to do. And there are punishments when people

00:20:46.060 do something that they are not supposed to do. The government doesn't have a say in everything. Of

00:20:53.200 course, I, as a Republican, don't believe that the government should have a say in everything.

00:20:59.220 But when it comes to protecting our inherent rights of life, liberty, the pursuit of property,

00:21:07.640 yes, the government has a role. The government's, one of the government's primary functions

00:21:12.720 is to protect innocent life from being assaulted, from being violated, from being murdered.

00:21:19.120 So if the government doesn't have a role in protecting babies inside the womb, then they don't

00:21:23.760 have a role to do anything. Cooper responds with how little men seem to know about women's bodies.

00:21:32.400 Here's not one.

00:21:34.820 I have seen girls on the street walk up to men and be like, do you know where a tampon goes? 1.00

00:21:40.240 Do you know how many tampons we use? Do you even know how, like, do you know what a X or Y or Z is

00:21:47.100 a part of our, and they don't know the answer? I was the first vice president or president to ever

00:21:53.940 in office go to a reproductive health care clinic, ever. Really? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. I didn't know

00:22:03.540 that, but I guess that makes sense. I thought that she was going to say that I was the first vice

00:22:08.100 president to ever use a tampon. I don't understand how her response correlated with what Alex Cooper said

00:22:15.900 there. And of course, this is a euphemism. Reproductive health clinic is a euphemism for 0.97

00:22:21.100 an abortion clinic. And clinic is even a euphemism. Abortion mill, abortion provider would probably, 1.00

00:22:28.980 abortion perpetrator would probably be a better name for that institution. And that's the thing,

00:22:36.140 of course, that we've talked about a lot when it comes to abortion. If abortion were so great,

00:22:41.600 if it really were something that we should all celebrate, a choice that we should all get behind,

00:22:48.480 they would be able to use exact language. They would use that as their advertising and marketing

00:22:55.040 campaign. If abortion were really that great, they would be the ones with the billboards and the sign 0.97

00:23:00.620 saying, here's an aborted fetus. Here is what the process looks like. Here's exactly what we do

00:23:07.620 when we provide an abortion to a woman. If abortion were really that great, then they would be telling 0.99

00:23:14.660 you exactly what it is using exact and scientific language. But because the law of God is written on

00:23:20.940 the human heart, even Planned Parenthood knows that showing people what happens in an abortion is a major

00:23:28.260 turnoff. It's too barbaric. If people saw the little babies with the severed arms and legs, with the

00:23:36.580 crushed skulls, if they saw their little bloody fingers and toes, if they knew what happens when a

00:23:43.800 baby is sucked out of the womb with a vacuum or dismembered with forceps, if they were there in the room

00:23:49.600 watching that happen on an ultrasound, they would no longer be pro-choice. And they would say,

00:23:56.360 this is murder. The government has to step in. They've got to do something. These are people that

00:24:02.100 can feel pain and they don't deserve to die. They deserve the same human right that you and I do.

00:24:07.760 But instead, they have to rely on lies. They have to rely on propaganda. They have to rely

00:24:13.400 on this euphemistic language like bodily autonomy, like women's rights, like reproductive health care,

00:24:19.960 like terminating a pregnancy, even like fetus. Fetus is not the medical term. It is just the

00:24:28.100 Latin word for offspring or small child. And the only reason the word fetus is used is because they

00:24:35.120 know that baby sounds too human. And yet he or she is a human. Scientifically, she is a human from the

00:24:42.320 point of conception. And so if you support abortion, you need to be able to articulate in a cogent way

00:24:48.640 why you believe it should be legal to kill some innocent people. Why? Size, location, 0.52

00:24:56.260 sentience, development, wantedness. If any of those are your reasons, do they apply to people

00:25:02.780 outside of the womb too? Should we be able to kill a five-year-old, a 15-year-old because they're 0.93

00:25:06.820 smaller than a 30-year-old, because they're not wanted, because they have a hard life, because 0.98

00:25:10.780 they're poor, because they have special needs, because they don't understand what's going on?

00:25:15.700 They don't have sentience or those reasons to kill people outside of the womb? If they're not reasons

00:25:20.620 to kill people outside of the womb, why are they reasons to kill people inside the womb? Surely it's 1.00

00:25:26.880 not location or dependence, because again, those are very arbitrary reasons to justify murder. I'm not

00:25:34.500 sure that Alex Cooper has thought through those things, though. Hopefully, maybe some of her listeners

00:25:39.160 have. Okay, let me pause, tell you about our next sponsor for the day, and that is Good Ranchers.

00:25:44.880 Y'all, I've got a Good Ranchers box now, my very own alley box. We will even put up a picture of me

00:25:50.560 holding my alley box, and let me tell you what's in it. This is based on what we in the Stucky

00:25:55.800 household use the most. We've got 16 4.5-ounce plain chicken breasts, two 1-pound Angus ground beef

00:26:04.640 packs, eight 6-ounce American Wagyu and Angus beef patties, two 18-ounce bone-in ribeyes,

00:26:12.400 and a limited edition collectible recipe card featuring one of my favorite chicken recipes.

00:26:19.640 This is enough for approximately 37 meals, and if you get my box every month, like, you are covered.

00:26:27.760 You're never going to have a day where you're like, gosh, I have nothing to cook for dinner tonight.

00:26:32.140 You're always going to have meat to thaw. You can be creative with it. That's why I love the ground

00:26:36.980 beef and plain chicken, because there's so much that you can do with it. You can make it really

00:26:41.600 simple, or you can make it really fun. I love making tacos with both of these things and adding

00:26:47.460 my own seasoning and spice to it, and so go ahead and go to goodranchers.com slash alley. Use code

00:26:53.940 alley for $25 off. That's goodranchers.com slash alley, code alley.

00:27:02.140 Okay, Alex Cooper also tries to justify her support for abortion with her Catholicism. She is trying to 0.81

00:27:15.900 say that she had an episode where she explained her position that, you know, just because I'm

00:27:21.700 personally against it, which I'm not even sure that she would totally say, but basically if you're

00:27:27.160 personally against it, because of your faith, that doesn't mean that you should be against it

00:27:31.240 for someone else. Here's thought two.

00:27:34.180 I was raised Catholic, and abortion is a sin. And when I put out that episode, I had a lot of

00:27:41.360 women reach out to me saying like, wow, I, you know, live in the South, and I never thought about 1.00

00:27:45.940 it that way. Like, maybe I am pro-choice because I won't get an abortion because of my religion,

00:27:51.500 but why should we control what someone else wants to do? In state after state, so-called red states and

00:27:57.140 so-called blue states, when this issue has been on the ballot, the American people are voting for

00:28:01.960 freedom because ultimately it's about, look, this is not about imposing my thoughts on you in terms of

00:28:08.820 what you do with your life or your body. It's, it's actually quite the opposite. It's saying the

00:28:13.640 government shouldn't be telling people what to do. Again, going back to what we've already said,

00:28:18.720 the government tells people what to do. That is the role of the government. Kamala Harris understands

00:28:23.580 that. She actually believes that the government should be able to tell you a lot of things that

00:28:29.000 constitutionally they can't do. Like, I would just remind you that when she was attorney general, 0.95

00:28:33.820 that she pushed the FACT Act, which required pro-life pregnancy centers to advertise for abortion.

00:28:41.100 She wanted to force them, compel their speech to promote a procedure that they were working to

00:28:51.360 prevent. That's who Kamala Harris is. That's what she championed. And thankfully, the Supreme Court 1.00

00:28:59.900 overturned the law that she championed while she was attorney general of California. Why? Because it's a

00:29:05.280 clear violation of the First Amendment. Remember that she also went after David DeLighton, the pro-life

00:29:11.900 reporter that went undercover to investigate Planned Parenthood for an alleged pay for play scheme where

00:29:18.260 it seemed like they were exchanging baby body parts for profit. She sicked authorities on David DeLighton,

00:29:27.700 raided his home, took his tapes, never investigated Planned Parenthood. Even if it turned out that

00:29:34.260 Planned Parenthood was innocent in that case, don't you think as the chief law enforcement officer in

00:29:41.240 the state of California, you should want to see if there's any illegal activity going on instead of

00:29:46.880 violating the First Amendment rights, the freedom of David DeLighton, who, by the way, several years

00:29:51.880 later, even though she is not in charge of California politics anymore, like he is still stuck in a legal

00:29:58.320 battle over his investigative work. She doesn't care at all about your freedoms. Again, 0.96

00:30:03.760 when they say freedom, they're talking about abortion or sexual degeneracy. That is all she is

00:30:09.560 talking about. She does not believe in your liberty at all. She was completely behind the Biden 1.00

00:30:14.120 administration's mandate for businesses to require the vaccines for their employees. She was completely

00:30:20.600 behind requiring nurses, frontline workers to take an experimental vaccine that led to the laying off 0.97

00:30:28.700 of many nurses when there was already a shortage. That's who Kamala Harris is. She doesn't actually 1.00

00:30:34.740 care about your freedom. She just wants that money from Planned Parenthood. Plus, she personally and

00:30:39.880 ideologically supports the killing of babies. And just again, yes, you do have to suspend your sincerely 0.84

00:30:48.840 held Christian beliefs to support abortion. You simply do. Now, Trump is not as pro-life as I want

00:30:58.960 him to be. They've been squishy on that. But you saw how he changed his mind when it came to Amendment

00:31:05.200 4 in Florida. And so you know that he can be influenced toward life. Thankfully, he did give us

00:31:12.800 the justices that gave us Roe v. Wade, which, by the way, if you're like, if this is a libertarian

00:31:19.320 issue for you, if this is a freedom issue for you, you should be happy that it's gone to the states,

00:31:25.560 that the people in the states can elect the representatives to then decide the law that

00:31:30.280 dictates how abortion is restricted and regulated. Now, I think it's horrific because I'm in the exact

00:31:36.840 opposite position of where Kamala Harris is. I think it's horrific that this is a state's

00:31:42.780 rights issue, like slavery was, because the right to life is a human right that shouldn't be up for

00:31:49.100 legislative debates in the states. They think the same thing, by the way. Tim Walls made that very

00:31:54.280 clear in the debate, but they just think it's abortion. The right to kill the child is the

00:31:58.800 fundamental human right that shouldn't be infringed. And they're exactly wrong. There's no constitutional

00:32:03.500 right to that. There's no moral right to that. And we on this side are exactly right, that it is,

00:32:08.620 of course, a constitutional, fundamental, moral, God-given right to not be murdered as an innocent

00:32:15.560 person, whether you are in or outside of the womb. Then Cooper repeats this Amber Thurman lie,

00:32:22.760 the woman who died in Georgia because she was pregnant with twins. It was after the limit in

00:32:28.300 Georgia. She traveled to North Carolina. She missed her appointment. She got abortion pills without even 0.98

00:32:33.520 seeing the doctor. She suffered complications from the abortion pills. And unfortunately,

00:32:39.220 she died. She should have been given antibiotics. She should have been given a DNC. But really,

00:32:43.620 if there had actually been a ban on abortion pills, all three of these image bearers of God would be 0.73

00:32:48.980 alive. And yet they repeat the lie. Alex Cooper repeats the lie that because of the Georgia pro-life

00:32:54.440 law, she is dead, that the doctors were too afraid to treat her because of the Georgia pro-life law.

00:33:00.640 That's not true at all. It actually would have been legal. Even if the babies had been alive

00:33:05.900 in Amber Thurman's womb at that point in Georgia, she would have been legally able to get an abortion 1.00

00:33:11.400 because Georgia makes an exception for the life of the mother. But the babies were already dead in

00:33:17.180 her womb. And so it absolutely was legal for her to get a DNC. It is not the fault of the pro-life law.

00:33:22.740 Every pro-life law on the books makes an exception for the life of the mother. But again, 1.00

00:33:28.860 just because there is a pro-life law doesn't mean that women are being victimized. This is another 1.00

00:33:34.640 example of that toxic empathy where you're supposed to forget about the fact, we're not supposed to

00:33:39.240 be sad about the fact that there are twin babies, innocent people who were brutally murdered and died

00:33:47.240 in this story. I can feel sad that Amber Thurman died, that she left her baby, an orphan. I mean,

00:33:53.300 where is the dad? We don't know about that. But poor child. But if there had actually been a ban on

00:34:00.760 abortion, if she had not been able to get those abortion pills in North Carolina, all three of 1.00

00:34:06.080 those people would be alive right now. But of course, they push this propaganda about we need abortion to

00:34:13.440 save a mother's life. That is not medically true. It's not scientifically true. We just talked to the

00:34:18.520 OBGYN last week. We can link the description or link it in the description of this episode.

00:34:23.700 You can listen to her. There is not a reason to purposely kill a child in the womb to save a

00:34:28.020 mother's life. There's just not. And it's funny because Harris says, you believe there's an exception

00:34:34.480 if the life of the mother is at risk. You know what that means in practical terms. She's almost dead

00:34:39.320 before you can give her care. So we're going to have public health policy that says a doctor,

00:34:43.300 a medical professional, medical professional, she had to clarify because Planned Parenthood does not want

00:34:48.280 there to be a doctor requirement. They want anyone who is on staff at Planned Parenthood to be able to

00:34:54.060 provide an abortion. Waits until you're at death's door before you give care. That's outrageous that 0.99

00:34:59.140 anybody would be saying that that is acceptable policy. Where's the humanity? There's no humanity

00:35:04.160 in abortion. There's none. It's bad for women and it's bad for babies inside the womb. It's bad for 0.99

00:35:09.000 society as a whole. There's no humanity, no compassion in abortion. This is all a perfect example

00:35:15.140 of toxic empathy. And I will give you more examples of that in this episode and in their exchange in

00:35:26.260 just a second. But I do want to tell you about my book, Toxic Empathy, How Progressives Exploit

00:35:31.360 Christian Compassion. It's out on October 15th and it really helps if you pre-order it because then

00:35:38.500 Amazon can get the right amount and it won't be, it won't say out of stock. Everyone who wants one

00:35:46.040 will get one. In the first chapter that we talk about, we go through five lies. The first lie is

00:35:51.520 that abortion is health care. And there's a quote from R.C. Sproul at the top. If I know anything at

00:35:58.300 all about God, I know that God hates abortion. That doesn't mean there's not grace and forgiveness

00:36:03.660 for those who have gone through abortion, but God hates the slaughter of innocent children.

00:36:09.920 And just as we do at the start of every chapter, we tell you a very heart-rending story, a gut-wrenching

00:36:14.780 story about a woman that seems to need an abortion. And we do the same kind of heart-rending story when

00:36:22.340 it comes to gender and when it comes to sexuality and marriage, when it comes to immigration and social

00:36:26.280 justice. But in this one, we tell the story of a woman that NPR says needed an abortion because her

00:36:32.740 baby had a fetal anomaly. And yet in Texas, she was forced to give birth to this baby, even though

00:36:37.780 she was very poor. And they paint this very sad picture so that at the end of it, you have so much

00:36:43.300 empathy for what this woman went through that you forget about the abortion. You forget about the

00:36:48.040 child altogether. And you think these pro-life laws are so draconian, they're so cruel. We have to stand

00:36:55.120 against them for the sake of the mother. But then, and this is the same formula we follow in every

00:37:00.980 chapter. We back up and we say, okay, we've gotten you to feel empathy for the mother, but what about

00:37:09.040 the person at the other side, on the other side of this moral equation? Let's look at the baby. In this

00:37:15.780 case, the baby is named Halo. And we look at what she would have gone through if she would have been

00:37:22.620 aborted at 20 weeks because of her diagnosis. Instead of being delivered and clothed and carried

00:37:32.360 and held and buried, she would have been brutally dismembered and discarded like toxic waste. Where 0.94

00:37:39.900 is our empathy for her? But then just as we do in every chapter, we say, okay, we feel empathy for both

00:37:48.800 parties in this story. But that only gets us so far. That's why we cannot be primarily led by empathy. We

00:37:56.580 have to be led by the truth. Because the God who is love says that love rejoices with the truth. That's

00:38:03.660 1 Corinthians 13, 6. So what is the truth? What's the truth about abortion? What's the history of abortion?

00:38:10.780 Who started Planned Parenthood? What is her ideological legacy? What actually happens in an abortion? 0.98

00:38:18.800 What is the role of the government when it comes to abortion? How does that save lives? What about the

00:38:23.460 evangelicals who say that you can be holistically pro-life and still vote Democrat? How do we respond

00:38:30.420 to all of those things? And I've equipped you with every argument possible in every chapter of this

00:38:36.120 book when it comes to abortion, gender, sexuality, social justice, and immigration. I tell you from a

00:38:44.300 factual, historical, scientific perspective, the conservative response to these things. And I try

00:38:51.140 my best to also give a complete biblical response on each of these subjects. After you read this book,

00:38:58.080 look how short it is. It's really short. You will be totally equipped to have every controversial

00:39:02.700 conversation in the coming weeks with your friends, with your family members. You will feel completely

00:39:08.680 confident. That's what I want. So go ahead and pre-order it. We will link it in the description

00:39:13.360 of this episode. And you can go ahead and buy it now. Buy some for your friends. Maybe walk through it

00:39:20.200 as a small group or with a group of your friends. There's so much to discuss in there. And it would

00:39:26.080 really help me out a lot if you go ahead and pre-order. It's also on Audible if you like to listen to

00:39:30.680 books. And it is me reading it. So Toxic Empathy, go ahead and order now if you haven't already.

00:39:36.420 All right. Let me tell you about our next sponsor for the day. And that is CrowdHealth. Health insurance

00:39:41.660 is really confusing. I don't have to tell you that. It can be really expensive. It can feel

00:39:45.900 really frustrating. It can feel that even if you have health insurance, you don't actually have it

00:39:52.820 or you don't have the coverage that you need. And so maybe it's time for you to opt out of the health

00:39:57.460 insurance structure altogether and opt for CrowdHealth. You can share your health expenses with the

00:40:06.300 community of people who are willing to help out in the event of an emergency. And it's really

00:40:10.920 affordable. For $175 for an individual or $575 for a family of four or more, you get access to the

00:40:19.440 crowd. To tell medicine visits, also discounted prescriptions, so much more without doctor's

00:40:25.100 networks getting in the way. The Crowd is a group of members just like you who want to help pay for

00:40:30.040 each other's unexpected medical events. Let CrowdHealth help with your healthcare needs.

00:40:46.660 slash Allie. Alex Cooper also said in the debate, former President Trump claimed that some states are

00:40:55.840 executing babies after birth. Can you just clarify? Here's thought three. That is not happening anywhere

00:41:03.460 in the United States. It is not happening. And it's a lie. Just it's a bold faced lie that he is

00:41:13.000 suggesting that can you imagine? Can you imagine? He is suggesting that women in their ninth month of

00:41:22.520 pregnancy are electing to have an abortion? Are you kidding? That is so outrageously inaccurate and

00:41:32.860 it's so insulting. Well, actually, of course, it is true. We remember Governor Northam a few years ago

00:41:41.060 on radio saying that if the baby survives an abortion, the baby will be put off to the side and then the

00:41:47.480 parents and the doctor can decide what to do with that baby. And under Governor Tim Walz's watch, at least

00:41:53.380 eight babies were born alive during botched abortions between 2019 and 2021. All eight of them died. None of

00:42:02.120 them received any care attempting to save their lives. Most of them didn't receive basic comfort care

00:42:07.320 either. And this is because of this omnibus bill that he signed called SF-2995, which repealed previous

00:42:17.560 laws ensuring that a baby born alive after an abortion would receive medical care and laws requiring that 0.64

00:42:24.360 these births after an attempted abortion would be reported. Also in 2023, Walz signed the Protect

00:42:31.860 Reproductive Options Act or the Pro Act or HF1, which enacted a quote-unquote fundamental right to abortion

00:42:41.240 with no limitations at any stage of pregnancy. Okay, so that is her running mate. That's not the only

00:42:50.680 state, of course, that has no laws that are protecting babies who survive these botched abortions. 0.99

00:42:58.640 For example, there are actually several states, there are five states at least, who have no protections

00:43:07.200 for babies born alive after failed abortions. That's according to Family Research Council. In the U.S.,

00:43:14.760 there are at least 277 known cases. Known cases. And only a few states are actually required to report

00:43:21.080 this thing, by the way, according to the Guttmacher Institute. There are at least 277 known cases in

00:43:27.060 which an infant has been born alive following an abortion, and the actual number is likely much

00:43:33.220 higher. And remember, Kamala Harris, in 2019, as the furthest left senator in the Senate,

00:43:44.500 she voted no on the Born Alive Infant Survivors Protection Act. I know that I've repeated this

00:43:51.380 ad nauseum. I feel like not enough people know this, but this was a law that was, or a bill that

00:43:58.540 was written by Ben Sasse that simply said, babies that survive abortions have to be given the same

00:44:05.260 medical care as any other baby who is delivered. Kamala Harris voted no. This didn't restrict

00:44:13.040 abortion in any way. Had nothing to do with the right to choose, quote unquote. Had nothing to do with

00:44:19.200 bodily autonomy because the baby is outside of the body. She voted no on that bill. Go read the bill

00:44:26.020 yourself. It's very simple. Born Alive Infant Survivors Protection Act. It's not like a lot of

00:44:31.040 these bills that Democrats push, like the FEMA bill or the border bill, where there's a ton of stuff

00:44:36.760 hidden in it that Republicans can't get on board with and Democrats turn around and they say they're

00:44:41.600 not for border security. Well, yeah, because you included all of the stuff that Republicans could never

00:44:46.080 get behind in this bill. That's not the case with the Born Alive Infant Survivors Protection Act.

00:44:52.020 Kamala Harris voted no. She doesn't believe babies that survive abortion should be protected. And if 1.00

00:44:57.600 you say that never happens, one, that's not true. Even if it's so rare, shouldn't we guarantee that those

00:45:03.840 babies are given a right to life? They don't believe that babies have a right to life, period. Even babies

00:45:10.940 outside of the womb. That's how grotesque they are. So don't buy into this toxic empathy.

00:45:17.720 In September of 2024, so just a few weeks ago, the New Yorker profiled this Colorado abortion doctor

00:45:25.100 named Warren Hearn for his work performing late-term abortions even to 35 weeks. Okay? I mean,

00:45:31.360 many babies are delivered at 35 weeks. It's still considered preterm. 37, 38, 39 weeks is considered

00:45:37.560 full-term. It really just kind of depends on what the doctor says. Typically, it's 38 weeks. But

00:45:42.720 preemies who are born 35 weeks have a really, really good chance of survival. They may only need

00:45:48.860 a week or two in the NICU. Really, at 24 weeks gestation, that's when a baby has a really good

00:45:56.140 chance of surviving outside the womb, like 80-plus percent chance. And there are babies who survive

00:46:01.300 outside the womb before that. 19, I think 19 weeks gestation, I think is the earliest baby. I think

00:46:07.540 it's, his name was Matthew. And I'm pretty sure this is reported by CNN. This baby who survived,

00:46:14.280 who was born preterm at 19 weeks and stayed in the NICU for a long time, but then ended up surviving.

00:46:21.140 So 19 weeks is the earliest. Abortion up to 35 weeks. And if you're telling me, well, that just 0.51

00:46:26.980 rarely, I mean, that's, no one wants that. No one wants that. So that's what Hillary Clinton has 1.00

00:46:31.500 said. That's what Kamala Harris would say. If you don't want that, don't do it. Because at that point,

00:46:36.500 like if you're suffering, if you have a health problem that requires you to no longer be pregnant,

00:46:42.340 if you need very imminent chemotherapy, then you deliver that baby. You deliver the baby.

00:46:49.820 Either way, the baby is going to come out, right? You don't have to have an MD after your name to

00:46:54.460 understand this. You just have to have a couple of brain cells. You don't have to kill the baby

00:46:59.700 before the baby comes out to save yourself. There's no reason for that. And a fetal anomaly

00:47:07.020 is not a reason to kill a baby. It's not. Okay. You could say that's cruel. No, it's cruel to kill

00:47:12.460 the baby because the baby might have a disability and doctors aren't even always right. But even if they

00:47:17.400 are right, if that baby has trisomy 13 or trisomy 18 or whatever it is, that's not a reason to kill

00:47:22.460 the baby. We don't kill people because they have special needs. But of course, the New Yorker

00:47:27.540 loves Warren Hearn for performing these late-term abortions. And again, that's the third trimester,

00:47:33.140 okay? Patients come to him from all over the country because he is one of only a handful of

00:47:37.680 physicians who can and will perform an abortion so late. The basic fact is that if you're pregnant,

00:47:42.520 you're at risk of dying from that pregnancy. It doesn't matter whether you're happy about being

00:47:46.200 pregnant. If having the abortion at any point in pregnancy is between 15 and 20 times safer 0.88

00:47:51.280 than carrying the pregnancy to term, what is the possible justification for forcing a woman to 0.95

00:47:56.500 continue the pregnancy if she doesn't want to? That is a quote from Warren Hearn. I don't even

00:48:05.500 believe that that's true. I don't believe that's true because an abortion at this point, just medically

00:48:10.680 speaking, and he knows this, he's an evil person, it takes several days for a baby to be aborted.

00:48:18.500 It's a long process where you have to dilate the cervix, you have to insert the laminaria

00:48:23.760 to dry up the amniotic fluid, hope that that suffocates the baby, starves the baby, because that's

00:48:30.980 what actually helps keep the baby alive, that amniotic fluid. And then very often you've got to

00:48:37.440 insert the chemical combination into the woman's womb, hopefully directly into the baby's heart, 1.00

00:48:42.520 even though the baby instinctively draws away from the pain of the needle. You insert that chemical

00:48:47.760 combination that causes cardiac arrest for that baby. And you hope, you hope that the baby is dead 0.96

00:48:55.060 now after all of this horrific and painful torture. And this is a couple day process. And then after that, 0.94

00:49:04.360 delivery is induced. And so she's delivering a dead baby. And remember, Leroy Carhart,

00:49:11.020 the late term abortionist said in the 1997 deposition that babies like that are like meat in a

00:49:16.420 crock pot. That's what it felt like. How awful. How awful. Tell me how that is safer than delivering

00:49:23.960 a baby alive. You have to deliver the baby. But here you're delivering a baby before your body is even

00:49:30.180 ready to deliver. It's not even going into labor naturally. And you've had all this other stuff

00:49:35.660 inserted inside of you to kill the baby first. That doesn't even make logical sense. Again, like, 0.99

00:49:41.400 let's just think with our brains. The Atlantic also profiled him last year. Hearn estimated that at

00:49:48.400 least half and sometimes more of the women who come to the clinic do not have medical diagnoses. 0.97

00:49:54.020 They just want to kill their baby. Fact check, Kamala Harris. All right, we've got a couple more 1.00

00:50:04.200 fact checks in just a second. Let me pause and tell you about our next sponsor. It's Jace Medical. With

00:50:09.400 all the disasters going on right now, I think we're seeing how important it is to be prepared. That

00:50:14.420 includes with all of our medical supplies. And so you need to make sure that you've got all the

00:50:19.800 medication that you and your family need. If you're in an emergency situation, you can't get to the

00:50:24.700 pharmacy. You can't talk to your doctor. You need a Jace case that is filled with life-saving

00:50:30.180 antibiotics. Also, you can add things like an EpiPen or Tamiflu or Ivermectin. Get a Jace daily case.

00:50:36.440 That's a year-long supply of the medications that you and your family rely on. You get that through a

00:50:40.840 confidential telemedicine process. They make it really easy. Just better to be safe than sorry.

00:50:45.400 Go to Jace.com. Use code Allie at checkout for a discount on your order. That's Allie at Jace.com.

00:50:56.120 Okay, last thing on this. There are so many things we could talk about, but I just want to get to

00:51:00.100 like a clip of the Elon Musk interview with Tucker Carlson and talk about that for a second. And so I

00:51:08.460 don't have time to fact check all the things that they talked about on Call Her Daddy, but I just wanted

00:51:13.500 to play this one that really, it just blew, it just blew my mind. I don't like to call people dumb 0.96

00:51:20.860 that I disagree with. I don't think that everyone on the left is not smart. I don't believe that. I 0.93

00:51:26.640 think that they're really wrong, but even people that I disagree with, even people that sound vapid,

00:51:33.000 I think can actually be very smart. But this clip really had me questioning that. Here's top four.

00:51:39.360 I want to take a moment and can we try to think of any law that gives the government the power

00:51:48.720 to make a decision. I know what you're going to ask. About a man's body. No. No. Is there any law?

00:51:59.820 No. No. No. It's no. It's so awkward. It's so awkward, first of all. As many people have been

00:52:12.000 saying, the draft is a great example. Men have to sign up for the draft. They are legally forced to 0.60

00:52:19.300 sign up for the draft. They are forced to sacrifice their own bodies, maybe for a war that they don't

00:52:27.580 even agree with. Maybe for a cause that they can't even get behind. So that's one example.

00:52:35.460 But then, really, when you think about it, every law tells you, male or female, what you can and

00:52:42.180 can't do with your body. That's our whole argument against abortion, that you can do what you want

00:52:48.440 with your body until you violate the rights of someone else. You can punch the air as hard as you want

00:52:56.720 to over and over again. You can quit your job to punch the air on a street corner and talk to

00:53:03.560 yourself and dance to Justin Bieber. No one cares. But if you punch someone in the face, that becomes

00:53:10.380 a problem. You're no longer punching the air or punching a tree. You're punching someone in the

00:53:15.040 face. You violated their right not to be assaulted. So you can use your body as you would like. You can

00:53:23.360 even have as much unprotected sex as you want to. But when that leads to the natural conclusion, 0.62

00:53:29.800 the natural consequence of reproduction, well, then you've entered another sovereign individual

00:53:36.200 into the equation. And that human being, just by nature of being a human, has his or her own rights,

00:53:45.640 the most fundamental of which is the right to life, the right not to be murdered.

00:53:52.380 Every law tells you what you can and can't do with your own body. You can't use your own body to

00:53:57.440 violate the speed limit. You can't use your own body to body slam a random person. You can't use

00:54:06.000 your own body to steal someone's lunch money. Like, it goes on and on. Come on. Like,

00:54:13.640 let's just think for a second, please. And you can't pretend by the way that you are pro-woman if

00:54:20.900 you believe in killing future women inside the womb. That's where human rights begin. 1.00

00:54:29.360 So I don't know if there's very much crossover between the Call Her Daddy audience and the

00:54:35.320 relatable audience, but maybe some of you have friends who watch or listen to Call Her Daddy,

00:54:41.580 and you can share this episode with them. I just want you to think. I want you to think.

00:54:47.080 I want you to be wise. I want you to be discerning. I want you to be smart. I want you to listen to

00:54:52.920 things that make you think, that make you smarter, that make you wiser, that make you dig deeper into 1.00

00:54:58.360 the truth, not things that make you feel good about being stupid and immoral. And that's what 1.00

00:55:04.140 Call Her Daddy does in many ways. That's what Kamala Harris does. That's what Alex Cooper does.

00:55:08.900 Maybe you can respect their hustle in some kind of sense, I guess, but they're hustling lost souls

00:55:17.560 to hell. And they're giving you minds of mush and hearts of stone. And I just can't applaud that.

00:55:25.880 You're better than that. You're so much better than that. All right. I want to get to an actually

00:55:30.360 really interesting interview between Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk. And I don't have time

00:55:35.520 to get into all of the different clips that I found interesting. It's a really fascinating

00:55:41.540 interview. I don't agree, obviously, with everything that Elon Musk says. I mean, I agree

00:55:46.940 with what he says about having children and there being meaning to life and children making you happy

00:55:52.120 and all that. This is one example of our almost agreement, but then also what? I mean, because

00:55:57.500 he has several children from several different women. I'm pretty sure that he employed IVF and

00:56:02.760 surrogacy and those things. And those are just not methods without their ethical issues. And of

00:56:10.880 course, he's not always championing the Christian values that I hold dear, but I can appreciate him

00:56:16.540 a whole lot. I appreciate a whole lot of what he has championed through Acts, how he has changed the

00:56:21.820 game of speech and dialogue and discourse. And in that way, in a very positive sense, potentially

00:56:27.600 changed the trajectory of the United States. I mean, I think that he is a hero for that.

00:56:34.340 But also, I think that he has some really profound and very close to Christian ideas about right and

00:56:41.540 wrong, the meaning of life, and specifically about empathy. I know that he's not listening to Relatable

00:56:48.760 and he hasn't read my book because it's not out yet, but I'm like, I want to find a way to send him

00:56:53.660 my book because of what he says here in Sop 5. What I see is what I call shallow empathy.

00:57:02.580 Like people have empathy for the criminals, but not empathy for the victims of the criminals.

00:57:08.440 Yes. And so if you simply have, and I believe one should have deep empathy to say like, what is the

00:57:14.320 greater good for society? Is it better to incarcerate violent criminals and prevent them from hurting

00:57:20.040 people or to let them loose and allow those people to be hurt? And I think the latter is much worse.

00:57:26.100 Yes. What he calls shallow empathy, I call toxic empathy. It is empathy for those that the media

00:57:34.420 hoist up as a victim at the expense of those on the other side. This is true when it comes to a man who

00:57:41.040 says that he is a woman. You have so much empathy for this supposed feeling of being trapped in the

00:57:47.900 wrong body of wanting to finally feel authentic, liberated, like your real self. And you're so

00:57:53.080 blinded to everything else because you're only focused on how they feel. But then when you back

00:57:58.280 up and you say, okay, but what about these women over here? What about the girl who is now being 1.00

00:58:03.000 forced to share a locker room with a boy to compete against this man? What about her rights? What about

00:58:09.580 her privacy? What about her safety? What about her protection? But then also when we back up even more,

00:58:14.800 wait, what about morality or reality? What about true versus false? What about what is scientifically

00:58:20.480 real? Empathy can be very dangerous when it blinds us to what is true and what is right.

00:58:28.100 And he says a little bit more about this. I want to play one more clip, but let me pause and tell you

00:58:32.820 about our last sponsor for the day. And that is NetSuite. So if you're a business owner, you need NetSuite.

00:58:38.980 Over 38,000 businesses have future-proofed their business with NetSuite by Oracle. It's the number

00:59:16.840 seize your biggest opportunities. Go to netsuite.com slash Allie, download the CFO's guide to AI and

00:59:24.700 machine learning at netsuite.com slash Allie. Okay. He expounds on this a little more and I think

00:59:35.000 it's interesting. Here's thought six. Like I believe in being compassionate about. Of course. I believe

00:59:40.200 that we should care about our fellow human beings. I think this is a good thing. Of course it is.

00:59:46.020 We should not be selfish and not care about others. We should care about others, but we should just

00:59:50.800 care about others, all things considered. Like I said, care not just about the criminals, it's just

00:59:56.620 one layer deep. You should also care about the criminals' victims. Yes. Yes. Well, especially the

01:00:02.360 criminals' victims. Yes. Innocent people who get attacked and killed.

01:00:06.380 Yep. I mean, that's what social justice does. Social justice, criminal justice, racial justice. 0.99

01:00:13.400 You're always actually supposed to have more compassion, more feeling for the perpetrator of

01:00:18.180 crimes than the victims of crimes. And that's why they will cry out, defund the police, and they will

01:00:23.640 completely ignore even the black people who are disadvantaged by defunding the police. He said this, 0.84

01:00:29.680 which I thought was pretty funny in a dark way. He said, you know what'll turn you from a Democrat to

01:00:33.360 a Republican pretty fast is getting punched in the face while you walk down the street and then no

01:00:37.840 action being taken against those who hurt you. Of course, the same is maddeningly true. Maddeningly,

01:00:45.120 maddeningly, maddeningly. Maybe I should just use another adverb. It is also insanely true when it comes to

01:00:54.920 immigration. When it comes to Kate Steinle, when it comes to Molly Tibbetts, when it comes to Lake and

01:01:01.000 Riley, all of these people had committed violent crimes and had escaped deportation in some cases,

01:01:08.000 had escaped being permanently incarcerated as they should have been or permanently punished and banished

01:01:14.300 from the country because they are illegal aliens and they're seen as oppressed. They're seen as the

01:01:21.580 underdog. And so via misplaced mothering, via toxic weaponized empathy, women and even Christian women 1.00

01:01:30.340 are manipulated into thinking that caring for the least of these and caring for the most vulnerable

01:01:35.400 is to vote Democrat and promote social justice and open borders. You're harming not only the victims

01:01:43.040 of these dangerous and chaotic and godless policies, but also the very people that you are claiming to

01:01:49.780 help. I'm really glad that Elon Musk is so clear eyed on that. All right, that's it for today. We will be

01:01:56.660 back here tomorrow.
