00:00:00.000 All right, y'all. Today is the day. It is Election Day 2024. We are going to be looking
00:00:07.460 at lots of things today, including some recent endorsements. I will tell you exactly how I feel,
00:00:13.300 how I see things. Bree will also share her thoughts. We've got some highlights and low
00:00:18.860 lights of these campaigns today. And then we will also talk about, of course, the tragedy of
00:00:24.340 peanut the squirrel and what that means about the state of our country. On today's episode of
00:00:29.880 Relatable, which is brought to you by our friends at Good Ranchers, go to goodranchers.com,

00:00:46.500 Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Tuesday. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far.
00:00:52.160 Okay, guys, we made it. It is Election Day. And for the first time in a long time, I am not going
00:00:59.640 to be trying to convince you to vote for a certain person. Now, if you are one of those people who
00:01:06.100 you are listening to this show at, like, I don't know, 4 p.m. Eastern time, I think that's what
00:01:11.740 time it comes out on the listening side. And then it comes out in the evening on YouTube. And if you,
00:01:17.080 for some reason, have not voted, and you are considering not voting in this election, or you
00:01:24.420 are considering voting for Kamala Harris, and you are listening to me right now, and you can still
00:01:30.060 scramble out to your polling location to vote, then I'll just say this. You should vote. You should
00:01:36.260 vote. Okay? Yes, Jesus is coming back, but he's not here yet. You are placed in this temporal, physical
00:01:42.640 space for a reason. That's to love God and love your neighbor. Politics is a way to love your neighbor.
00:01:48.180 And living in America in 2024, we get to have a voice in our culture, in our politics, in how things
00:01:56.940 are run. And the way we get to exercise and demonstrate that voice to make our voice heard
00:02:02.680 is to vote. Politics matter because policies matter because people matter. Okay? And the policies that
00:02:10.140 are put in place by the politicians that we elect affect your neighbor, especially the most vulnerable
00:02:15.400 neighbor, don't vote Democrat. If you're thinking about voting Democrat, you shouldn't do it because
00:02:21.120 you are probably voting on the stated intentions of their policies and thinking that their policies
00:02:26.580 are compassionate for the poor or for the racial minority or for the child. And it's just not true.
00:02:33.360 You judge a policy by its conclusion, by its outcome, by its effect, not by its stated intention.
00:02:39.400 And if you look at every major city across the country, it has not gotten safer and better and
00:02:44.960 more prosperous as it's gotten more progressive. Instead, it's gotten dirtier and less safe and
00:02:51.280 poorer as its leadership has gotten more progressive. You cannot show me a city that has become more
00:02:56.500 progressive further left in its policies and has gotten actually better in any way for the people
00:03:02.620 living there, especially for the poor communities, the homeless, the drug addicted, and the child.
00:03:10.560 We only see increased danger, increased chaos where we see progressive policies take root. That is true
00:03:18.160 on the national level. That is true on the local level. Donald Trump is not perfect, but your vote,
00:03:24.960 as Josh Howerton said, the pastor on this couch just last week, is not a sacrament. It is also not
00:03:31.740 a valentine. It is a strategic choice for the best path forward. I heard someone say this was great.
00:03:39.420 You're not simply voting for the lesser of two evils. You are voting to lessen evil. And so I just
00:03:46.520 unapologetically am praying that Donald Trump wins. I am praying that God would have mercy on our nation
00:03:54.000 and that he would allow us to elect the president whose policies best conform to God's definitions of
00:04:01.660 right and wrong, righteousness and justice. And that is without a question, Donald Trump.
00:04:06.420 We will have stronger borders with Donald Trump. That means fewer violent crimes committed by those
00:04:13.120 who have no right to be here in the first place. We will have, because of his policies that we saw
00:04:19.280 enacted in his first term, a better economy, which will mean more affordable gas and groceries,
00:04:24.640 which is a real game changer for millions of Americans. States will still have the freedom to
00:04:30.980 enact laws that protect unborn children. And there's so much more, including foreign policy,
00:04:38.060 which I think will lend itself to peace much more than Kamala Harris's policies. Donald Trump in general
00:04:45.480 will reward good and punish evil. Whereas we've already seen with the Harris Biden administration
00:04:50.320 by imprisoning pro-lifers in federal prison for blocking entrances to abortion clinics, that they
00:04:56.240 actually reward those who do evil, like the abortion providers, and they punish those who do good.
00:05:02.480 That is an abomination to God. That is a curse on a nation. And I am praying for God's mercy.
00:05:09.520 However, I also understand that if Kamala Harris, if she does take office, and that is a judgment
00:05:14.920 on our nation, that Christian courage will be brighter than ever, it will spread like wildfire
00:05:21.420 throughout the nation, and that no power will be able to put it out. And as I said yesterday,
00:05:27.280 from Nero to Newsome, from Herod to Harris, Jesus reigns. And the gates of hell will not prevail
00:05:34.540 against his church. All right? So that's where we are. That's how I'm feeling anyway, when we're looking
00:05:41.140 at not only what's right in front of us, but when we're looking at the eternal landscape of all of
00:05:47.100 this, God is going to do what he wills. And yet there is this kind of mystery that we in our finite
00:05:52.760 minds can't fully understand that God's sovereignty somehow is interwoven with our responsibility.
00:06:00.800 God's total sovereignty does not negate our responsibility because we see throughout scripture,
00:06:05.920 he speaks of his sovereignty, Job 42.2, nothing can thwart his will. And yet we are told to do
00:06:12.840 things. Like we are told to pray. We are told to evangelize, to make disciples of all nations. We are
00:06:19.620 told, for example, in Jeremiah 29, God's people are commanded to seek the welfare of the city that they
00:06:26.700 live in, that they are exiles in, to pray for its welfare because in its welfare, they found their
00:06:34.480 welfare. And we Christians who are exiles in this world, I believe, are called to do the same thing.
00:06:40.480 And so it's this seeming conundrum that God is completely in control. Nothing can thwart his will,
00:06:48.820 and yet he still chooses to act through our evangelism, our prayer, and our obedience. I mean,
00:06:56.180 God certainly didn't need his people to wander the wilderness for 40 years to accomplish what he was
00:07:02.200 going to accomplish. He certainly didn't need them to walk around Jericho seven times before the wall
00:07:10.600 fell. He didn't need to take six days to create the heavens and the earth. And yet God has his processes.
00:07:17.920 He has his ways of doing things. He has these vessels that he chooses to accomplish his will
00:07:24.600 for his own glory and for our good. And so I don't fully understand this interplay between God's total
00:07:34.120 sovereignty and what we have to do and how God accomplishes his will through our actions and
00:07:41.160 through our obedience. But that's the model that we see throughout scripture. And so that means that
00:07:46.940 we get to obey and we get to do the next right thing in faith with excellence and for the glory of
00:07:52.740 God in full confidence in God's goodness and trusting in his, um, in his plan. And as I said,
00:08:02.780 there is nothing that can defeat him or stop him or hold him back in any way. So that's how we're
00:08:08.340 feeling. Okay. I'm done with the spiritual aspect of that for right now. I hope that gives you some
00:08:14.060 encouragement. Let's look at some of the polls, at least this morning, as I am, uh, as I am recording
00:08:20.740 this, uh, if we're looking at the swing States, this is according to five 38 Pennsylvania, uh,
00:08:26.640 Trump and Kamala are even right now, uh, Nevada, even Georgia, Trump plus one, North Carolina,
00:08:34.200 Trump plus one, Michigan, Kamala plus one, Wisconsin, Kamala plus one, Arizona, Trump plus two,
00:08:41.900 New Hampshire, Kamala plus five. And then on and on. Those aren't really that interesting anymore.
00:08:48.100 When we look at, uh, what the history of, uh, Democrats performance has been in those kinds
00:08:54.640 of States, Florida, uh, Trump plus seven, Virginia, Kamala plus seven. Yes. Yes. Uh, Texas, uh,
00:09:04.280 Trump plus eight, Ohio, Trump plus eight. And then we've got some other very, uh, predictable ones,
00:09:11.240 both in red and blue States. Um, California, Kamala plus 25. I think that, uh, the state of Ronald
00:09:22.820 Reagan and Richard Nixon has changed just a bit in the past generation. And so that's what we're kind
00:09:30.460 of looking at right now. Republicans are going to have a lot of voters show up today who did not take
00:09:36.760 my advice to early vote, but I hope that they are able to get out there. Come hell or high water.
00:09:42.120 You've got to get out there. You've got to vote. You can't let anything throw off your plans today.
00:09:46.560 Make sure that all of your friends have voted. Um, but you know, as I said, by the time this comes
00:09:51.900 out, it's probably a little too late. So let's get into some other stuff that doesn't have to do with,
00:09:57.940 you know, convincing people to, to get out because right now we kind of have to just let go
00:10:03.160 and let God, uh, but before we get into some things I want to cover, let me pause and tell
00:10:08.360 you about our first sponsor for the day. And that is good ranchers. Y'all we love good ranchers in
00:10:13.400 our home. We are eating their steak and their ground beef and their chicken almost every single
00:10:18.060 night. It just makes our life so much easier. We've got a freezer full of all American good ranchers
00:10:23.380 meat, and we've always got some in our refrigerator too. So you can easily just pull it out, cook it
00:10:28.300 however we want to. I've actually got my own box and I've been eating good ranchers for a
00:10:33.100 really long time. Right now, good ranchers has a Thanksgiving special. You can choose any box of
00:10:38.900 their 100% American meat and wild caught seafood and get a free 10 pounds spiral cut ham added to it
00:10:45.540 for free. That's an amazing deal. They are always giving such amazing deals. They really want this
00:10:52.120 American meat to be totally accessible to you guys. And so they're offering you the spiral cut ham
00:10:56.820 for Thanksgiving when you buy any box. That's worth like $100. That's amazing. Go to goodranchers.com.
00:11:05.020 Use my code Allie to claim a free Thanksgiving ham before they run out. Supplies are limited. Go
00:11:10.700 to ranchers.com. Code Allie.
00:11:12.460 All right. So my girl, Megyn Kelly spoke at Trump's rally in Pennsylvania last night. I thought that
00:11:23.940 this was amazing. Like if you remember Trump and Megyn Kelly's history, they don't have a great
00:11:30.480 history. You'll remember at one of the debates in the 2016 Trump versus Hillary election, like the first
00:11:36.600 question that Megyn asked right out the gate was about some of the things that Trump had said
00:11:41.520 about women. And then Trump, obviously he didn't like that question, but then Trump went around
00:11:48.080 after that and was saying horrible things about Megyn Kelly. And so I think it speaks so much to
00:11:54.280 Megyn Kelly's character and that she really just calls things as she sees them, that she's really an
00:12:00.340 objective person, that she doesn't allow her own personal feelings or personal experiences to get in
00:12:07.440 the way of one, her journalistic integrity, but two, what she believes is right. Like she is clearly
00:12:13.800 voting based on policy. And I think that she's a really good example for women in that way. And you
00:12:19.040 guys know, just personally, I've loved Megyn Kelly. People always ask me, what made you, did you ever
00:12:24.780 think that you were going to do what you do? And I always say, well, I loved Megyn Kelly when I was in
00:12:30.740 middle school and high school. Like that is what I wanted to do. I wanted to be Megyn Kelly, which is
00:12:36.260 not the trajectory of where I went. And I'm very glad I didn't go into broadcast. I, you know, I
00:12:42.260 didn't go to Fox News. That's not what the media landscape looks like today. And I still admire her
00:12:49.100 a whole lot because I just think that she is so bold and one of the best messengers for critical
00:12:54.960 thinking out there. But yeah, so I was excited to listen to her speech. She had a lot of amazing
00:13:00.680 things to say at this Trump rally. I'm going to play a couple of clips. Here's that one.
00:13:05.340 Number one, immigration. He mentioned it. And people like Lake and Rowley. I'll be thinking
00:13:10.780 about her tomorrow all day. 22 years old, killed in Georgia, a young nursing student by an illegal.
00:13:18.540 I'll be thinking about Jocelyn Nungare, 12 years old in Texas, murdered by two Venezuelan
00:13:24.860 illegals. President Trump closed the border. Kamala Harris opened it by choice. It wasn't
00:13:30.760 accidental. She said it would be humane. That's what she and her boss believed. Tell it to Lake
00:13:36.620 and Riley's family. There was nothing humane about it. He closed it. They opened it. It was an
00:13:42.300 intentional choice and there's no reason not to believe they won't do it again. Yep. She is
00:13:47.120 absolutely right. Poor Lake and Riley. My gosh. When you think about the lives that have been lost by
00:13:52.540 the intentional, the deliberate policy decisions, especially by Democrats, it's just disgusting.
00:14:00.160 And another part of the speech, she pointed this out about how Kamala calls open borders
00:14:06.580 kindness. And you'll remember in the debate between Walls and Vance, Walls justified their open border
00:14:16.040 policy by saying, you know, Jesus calls for us to care for the least of these. First of all,
00:14:21.300 that's not what the least of these means. He's talking about persecuted Christians. If you're
00:14:24.720 scandalized by that statement, then you can read most theologians throughout history and certainly
00:14:29.960 the church fathers in that context. That is who Jesus is talking about. But even if you were talking
00:14:34.600 about the world poor, I promise you, he is not talking about the illegal aliens raping and murdering
00:14:40.020 young women. That's not who he's referring to. But that is like a perfect example of toxic empathy.
00:14:45.420 And that's, of course, why I wrote the book. And that's why I was so passionate as I was writing
00:14:50.540 the immigration chapter, because we see this toxic empathy manifest itself so much. This idea
00:14:56.020 that welcoming everyone who wants to be here is kindness when really it is cruelty to the citizens
00:15:02.240 we are responsible to, the citizens that our government is responsible to. Because for every sad
00:15:08.460 story that you hear of the woman who is fleeing Colombian gang violence to live and work here with her
00:15:13.340 family, there are five other stories of military aged men infiltrating the United States and raping
00:15:19.160 children. That's just the truth of it. And even if that were just one bad apple, that would be
00:15:26.180 enough to close down our borders. And even if there were no bad apples, that would be enough to close
00:15:31.100 down our borders, because that is the right and responsibility that we have as a country. Remember
00:15:35.320 yesterday, the stories that we had to tell of these young men who have infiltrated the United States
00:15:40.840 illegally, one of which actually raped a four year old. Oh, my gosh, it is a moral obligation, a righteous
00:15:49.360 obligation for a government to close our borders and to deport all illegal aliens. God is a God of order,
00:15:57.040 not a God of chaos. And one of you actually messaged me last night. And I love these messages so much. It gives
00:16:04.480 fuel to my fire and helps encourage me to do what I do, whether it's something that's theological or
00:16:10.740 political. But when I get a message from one of you saying, you know, I listened to Relatable and
00:16:15.480 this changed my mind, whether it's something that I said, or whether it's something that one of my guests
00:16:20.200 said, who are far more brilliant than I am. And when you guys tell me that I once thought this,
00:16:28.120 and now I thought this, it just encourages me so much. And one of you messaged me and you said,
00:16:32.100 you know, I was basically a liberal on border policy. You didn't really think about it beyond
00:16:38.540 just the idea that, well, we should care for these people who want to be here. And then once you read
00:16:45.300 toxic empathy and you saw the facts of it and the truth that exists on both sides of this moral
00:16:50.800 equation, and you realize that God is a God of order, not chaos, that that completely changed your
00:16:55.700 mind on the immigration issue. And I just praise God for that. Megyn Kelly also gave this reason for
00:17:01.820 why she's voting for Trump. Here's that too. He got mocked by the left for saying he would be a
00:17:09.040 protector of women. He will be a protector of women. And it's why I'm voting for him.
00:17:17.440 He will close the border. He will keep the boys out of girls sports and where they don't belong.
00:17:23.460 And you know what else? One more thing. He will look out for our boys too. Our forgotten boys and
00:17:31.040 our forgotten men. Guys like you. Guys like these guys who've got the calluses on their hands,
00:17:41.680 who work for a living with the beards and the tats, who maybe have a beer after work and don't want to
00:17:47.560 be judged by people like Oprah and Beyonce, who will never have to face the consequences of her
00:17:54.560 disastrous economic policies. These guys will. Yep, she's absolutely right. Go Megyn Kelly. I think that's
00:18:02.780 such like a cool arc from where they were eight years ago. And gosh, the political realignment that
00:18:10.360 has happened, not just over the past eight years, but really over the past four years, is really
00:18:16.460 something. Like it's really something to see people like Joe Rogan, Megyn Kelly, Elon Musk, Russell Brand,
00:18:24.800 all of these people who are considered center, even center left, over the past few years come out in
00:18:30.660 favor of Donald Trump. Joe Rogan released his latest Elon Musk interview last night, and Joe Rogan
00:18:36.680 also endorsed Donald Trump himself. He said the great and powerful Elon Musk, he's posting the link
00:18:43.000 to the or he's posting, I guess, the video itself on X, the interview between him and Elon. He said
00:18:50.720 the great and powerful Elon Musk, if it wasn't for him, we'd be effed. Would never say that on this show.
00:18:57.840 He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump, you'll hear. And I agree with him every
00:19:02.420 step of the way. For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump. Enjoy the podcast. Thank you,
00:19:08.740 sir. You know, some people are saying, oh, he should have done this a long time ago. Look, I think that we
00:19:14.860 just have to be happy that it happened. He has huge, huge influence over men. And men right now do seem to
00:19:22.860 be less engaged and less mobilized in this election than women do. And if we want a Republican to win,
00:19:30.240 as the numbers bear out, we really need the men to be voting. And a lot of people, most people vote
00:19:36.960 on voting day. And so this could still have a great effect. I hope that people listened to it last
00:19:42.080 night and watched it. It was really, really good. I'll just play you a clip from this incredible
00:19:50.180 interview. Sot 19. If the Dems won this election, they will legalize enough illegals to turn the
00:19:56.980 swing states and everywhere will be like California. There will be no escape. That is so insane.
00:20:03.280 This is the final. This is it. This is the last chance. Has anybody tried to push back?
00:20:10.440 Like, go out and vote. Vote like your life depends on it. Vote like your future depends on it. Because
00:20:16.760 it does. This is the last chance, man. Okay, so I think that that's pretty incredible,
00:20:24.300 that we actually have like a billionaire in our corner. We have a few billionaires in our corner.
00:20:29.840 Actually, there have been some tech giants and even some media moguls that have come out in favor of
00:20:35.280 Donald Trump. And I'm very thankful for that. That's just not something that we are used to
00:20:40.440 on the right. It seems like the scales are a little more even than they have been in the past. I mean,
00:20:46.540 as we've talked about many times, these progressives who claim that they're so scared of the specter of
00:20:52.860 Christian nationalism and Christo-fascism. I'm like, you've got every major national and international
00:20:59.700 institution and major corporation and most tech companies all in your corner agreeing with
00:21:07.640 everything that you believe about immigration and gender and sexuality and the police and all of that
00:21:15.560 stuff. And you guys are scared of a few Christians who say, oh, I think murdering babies is bad.
00:21:21.700 Really? Come on. But I do appreciate, so appreciate Elon Musk's outspokenness,
00:21:27.720 his boldness, his taking over X. I mean, really, I didn't know what it would look like, but I think
00:21:36.560 it has been a game changer. A game changer for the trajectory of Western civilization. I really do.
00:21:46.140 I'm not exaggerating that at all. The way that he has protected free speech on his platform and the
00:21:51.660 way that he has pointed out the danger of unfettered illegal immigration, the way that he has highlighted
00:21:58.720 the corruption in our medical industry, especially when it comes to the attempted transition of
00:22:04.900 children and the sexualization of children, the way that he has spoken against the anti-natalist
00:22:10.420 movement and the decline in the birth rate. I'm just very grateful for that. And it's an unexpected,
00:22:17.020 it's an unexpected gift. And do I align with him on everything? No, absolutely not. I don't think he's
00:22:24.860 a born again Christian, although he has talked about being a cultural Christian. He has several
00:22:30.240 different children from several different women and has employed surrogates for that. And so obviously
00:22:35.280 there are some things that we really don't agree with, but I see what moment we're in and what's
00:22:41.720 needed. And I'm just very grateful for that. And for Joe Rogan and for Megan Kelly and for Tulsi Gabbard
00:22:47.240 and for RFK, who have all helped forge this realignment. Now I am still a Christian first
00:22:53.040 and foremost. So I am going to represent that segment and represent our views to the best of
00:22:59.260 our ability to ensure that we still have a voice and that we don't shift to the left because we've
00:23:04.200 absorbed some of the center and the center left. That'll be my role in all of it. But I'm grateful.
00:23:09.940 I'm grateful that people have really opened their eyes. I've got more thoughts on that in a second,
00:23:13.580 but let me pause and tell you about our next sponsor. It is Preborn. Preborn is a network
00:23:19.260 of clinics across the country that has been working so hard to save as many lives as possible. And they
00:23:24.220 do. They offer free resources to moms in need. And one of the first things they offer after a pregnancy
00:23:30.180 test is confirmation of that pregnancy via ultrasound. That's a free sonogram where the pregnant woman
00:23:36.200 gets to see her baby on the screen, many times hear that beating heart. And after that, she is so much
00:23:42.040 more likely to choose life. They're there for these moms. Yes, it's about being pro-life. Yes,
00:23:47.740 it's about being pro-birth, but it's about more than that. It is about meeting these women where they are,
00:23:53.120 making sure they know they're not alone. They are cared for. They hear about their true
00:23:57.440 life-affirming options. So if you want to be a part of that work, donate to Preborn. You can go
00:24:03.820 to preborn.com slash Allie. You can donate $28. Then you'll cover the cost of an ultrasound,
00:24:09.120 which is pretty amazing, but anything you donate will help. So just go to preborn.com slash Allie.
00:24:19.040 Okay. Before I get into the rest of my thoughts about the political realignment,
00:24:22.400 I want to bring it to Brie and just see. Brie, how are you feeling about the election?
00:24:29.460 I hate to be a Debbie Downer. Oh gosh, Brie. I know. I'm starting with that. I'm not super
00:24:36.000 optimistic. I would love to be. I'm just not. I'm sorry. I'm not very optimistic. Why? Is it general
00:24:41.640 vibe or what? I'm just so disappointed from the last time. Yeah. I feel like that's just carried over.
00:24:48.640 And to be honest, I just don't think one side is going to do this in good faith. So I just don't
00:24:55.600 know. Even if, you know, even if Donald Trump does actually win, I don't know. Yeah. We're
00:25:01.880 definitely up against people who believe that the ends justify the means and that Donald Trump is
00:25:06.160 Hitler. And so they believe that whatever it takes to keep Hitler out of power is completely justified
00:25:13.120 and is actually democracy. Yeah. And of course, you know, the opposite is true. But you just wrote a
00:25:20.500 really great article about just why you as a Christian are voting for Donald Trump. I'm guessing
00:25:27.320 you already have voted, right? Okay, good. Yeah. Yeah, I voted. Brie, I would have to make you leave.
00:25:33.440 I'll be here all day. I know. I would have to make you leave right now. So can you tell me a little
00:25:39.120 bit about that? Like, what is your thinking as you support Donald Trump or as you voted for him?
00:25:44.660 Yeah. Well, in 2016, when he was running against Hillary, I was so afraid to even like tell anyone
00:25:53.400 that I was supporting Trump. I think a lot of people felt that way. And I was skeptical too of
00:25:58.140 him at the time. But anything that I would post publicly would be very like, aren't we all exhausted
00:26:03.980 by this? That kind of thing. And I just realized that it didn't really mean anything. I wasn't
00:26:08.940 really saying anything. Of course, everyone felt that way. And I really, I think, kind of
00:26:14.060 underestimated how important that election was. So now, but you've did, I mean, if you don't mind
00:26:21.660 saying you did vote for Trump, then you did. Yeah. So now I've just I've come to the point where
00:26:27.600 I feel pretty confident in saying and we've said this on the show before, too. But you just can't
00:26:33.420 really vote blue. Like, if you look at what the Bible says about a lot of issues that matter
00:26:38.320 the most, they just don't align with I don't think you can justify voting blue. And so for me,
00:26:45.500 as a Christian, that's just kind of my reasoning. I don't think there's any justification for it.
00:26:52.440 I think when you look at abortion, immigration, gender, all of those things. I just I don't know.
00:26:59.060 A lot of people have gotten mad at me already. I shared it on my stories today.
00:27:02.260 Who? Like you're it has to be like your friends, right? Yeah. Yeah. People you've known over the
00:27:08.480 years who have said this really breaks my heart just to see the title of the article. What's the
00:27:13.760 title again? I don't have it right in front of me. I can't remember off the top of my head, but
00:27:16.300 I think it's like for Christians, Donald Trump is the only choice. Yeah. So spicy. Yeah. So like
00:27:24.060 I saw you drop the or one of the sub headers was fake empathy. Yes. And that's when the site
00:27:29.660 kicked me off because I wasn't signed in. And so I didn't get to read that whole. I linked your book.
00:27:34.740 Oh, thanks. Thanks. Thanks. But yeah. Yeah. I was basically I just kind of go through some of
00:27:40.680 those main topics and what Kamala what her policies are on them and why you know that across the board
00:27:46.780 doesn't work for Christians. So are you responding to the people who are telling you, oh, this breaks my
00:27:52.760 heart. Some of them. Yeah. What are you saying if you don't mind saying? Well, one of them recently
00:27:59.840 was like this. This really hurts my heart knowing you as a fellow Christian, because you should
00:28:06.580 understand that some Christians reason out their politics differently and come to different
00:28:11.260 conclusions. And and this really hurts the unity of the church. She was upset that I had posted like
00:28:17.980 that article on my story. She said it was clickbaity. And I said, well, I want people to
00:28:22.460 click on it. Yeah. So I'm sorry if you think the title is clickbaity, but I want people to read it.
00:28:27.420 It's not clickbait unless it doesn't actually describe what's in the article. And that's exactly
00:28:32.540 what the article was arguing. Yeah. Maybe that that's what she didn't like. But but yeah,
00:28:38.220 I just responded and I said, I don't think it goes against or it goes it harms the unity of the
00:28:42.960 church. I really don't. I think we should be talking about things like this. And if you don't like
00:28:47.080 my opinion on it, that's fine. But the reality is, you know, the unity of the church would be
00:28:52.300 would benefit from people exactly hearing hard truths. So yeah. And that's just that logic doesn't
00:28:59.840 work because that's so you're not allowed to share an opinion at all without it causing disunity.
00:29:08.760 And it seems that I only hear that from people on the left when it's a conservative opinion. If a
00:29:15.320 progressive were to say, you know, I'm voting for the least of these, I'm voting for the most
00:29:20.400 vulnerable, for the migrant, for the foreigner, and all that, and I don't see how anyone could vote
00:29:25.680 for the felon, they would say yes, and amen. That's not divisive. It was like in 2020, when we were
00:29:33.880 hearing that all white people are racist, and there's white fragility and all of that. And someone
00:29:38.480 like me would be like, well, no, I don't think that's biblical. And that's just not factually accurate.
00:29:44.280 I was being accused of being divisive. Okay, but you're the one who's saying that
00:29:49.100 I am a part of systemic racism based on just like the melanin count that I have. How is that not
00:29:55.440 divisive? Yeah. It's always the conservative. It's always like the counter opinion to like the
00:30:01.780 progressive zeitgeist that is divisive. Because it's mean and it's unchristian. I got this a lot
00:30:08.360 when I worked in ministry as well. There were some people who I think are well-meaning, but they just
00:30:13.640 are like, if you say anything like that, they're like, well, that's not really loving. And so we
00:30:17.780 as Christians shouldn't talk like that. That's not true. Yeah, it's not true. And so I would just
00:30:23.540 caution anyone who is like speaking out today about who they're voting for. If you get messages like
00:30:28.320 that, that are like, this really hurts my heart that you are, you know, talking about politics like
00:30:34.240 this, don't give into that. Don't feel guilty about it. Because, because you don't need to,
00:30:39.480 you know, unless you're being rude. Don't be rude. But, you know.
00:30:43.340 I just wonder, like, sometimes I think that people who say, and this is even beyond politics,
00:30:48.680 but basically that you should never say something true ever, if it is not progressive, then you are
00:30:57.500 not really being loving. Or you should have the perfect tone at all times in order to be considered
00:31:02.660 loving. Like, have you never read Jesus? Like, Jesus, again, this is not even, I'm not even talking
00:31:08.920 about right versus left, but how he speaks is so pointed and sometimes so harsh and even sarcastic
00:31:16.560 that I'm like, Jesus was, he obviously didn't confuse niceness with love. He understood that
00:31:23.020 there was a time to be extremely pointed, even to be harsh, to say things in a way that may have been
00:31:31.620 difficult to hear, but it was necessary for him to say it in that way at the time. And he's God,
00:31:37.580 and God is love. So nothing Jesus ever did could have been outside of the realm of love. Same with
00:31:43.500 God in general throughout scripture. And so, like, if God says it, that, you know, we were created male
00:31:49.600 and female and God is love, then nothing that, if we agree with that, then we are also being loving.
00:31:56.600 And people always think they can outnice God. That's the problem. You think you're nicer than God.
00:32:01.820 That's the thing. And really, maybe you're just being really mushy and nuanced to the point of not
00:32:08.440 really having, like, a conviction. I think a lot of Christians think that they're being nuanced when
00:32:14.740 really they just don't have conviction. Agreed.
00:32:17.360 And that is a big problem. Well, I'm feeling okay about the election. I am trusting that there are
00:32:27.560 conservative groups out there, like the Heritage Foundation, who are committed to election integrity.
00:32:34.300 And there are millions and millions of dollars being poured into election integrity. Elon Musk is
00:32:38.940 helping with that. And I am, I'm just like, okay, that's beyond my realm. And I'm just hoping that
00:32:45.880 that holds. Yeah. So that's the optimistic view. That is the optimistic view. I'm trying to get there.
00:32:52.200 I'm trying to. I know. You know, I never, I did not think that Trump was going to win in 2020.
00:32:58.220 Really? No. I didn't think he was going to win in 2016 either, to be fair. Oh yeah. I didn't either.
00:33:02.760 Yeah. This is the only, this is the only election where I felt like it is a good possibility.
00:33:10.560 Okay. Yeah. If that makes you feel any better. And 2016, I wasn't, I mean, I had just started doing
00:33:16.800 this. And so I was like making videos on Facebook. I actually, my first video that went viral was a
00:33:23.280 video is probably eight years ago, really close to right now that I said, I'm a Christian, I'm a
00:33:28.980 woman, I'm voting for Donald Trump. And here's why. And of course it was like, oh my gosh, how could
00:33:33.500 anyone say that out loud at the time? And, but I just, it was just the propaganda against him was so
00:33:40.580 strong. It still is, but people just didn't have as much of a sense of like the media's manipulation
00:33:48.440 at the time. So I was shocked. I didn't like him in the primary. I'm not even going to say who I liked
00:33:55.440 the primary is embarrassing, but I didn't like him in the primary. But then I remember, so I went to
00:34:02.500 sleep on election night in 2016 because it was going on forever. And my husband came in the room
00:34:09.080 at like 3am and said, babe, Trump won. And I was like, what? I could not believe it. Do you remember
00:34:18.040 where you were? I do. I was actually in France. I was in France. So I went to sleep just at normal
00:34:22.900 time. And when I woke up, it had come in, but I went to sleep thinking I was sure I was like,
00:34:28.520 Hillary Clinton is going to win. And I woke up and my friend and I, who both were, were conservatives,
00:34:33.600 looked at each other. It just opened our doors and we're like, what? I cannot believe it. So yeah,
00:34:39.760 good memory. Oh my goodness. And then in 2020, I mean, obviously I voted for Trump. So I voted for
00:34:46.340 Trump three times now. I just, there were, there was so much and I obviously only really can like see
00:34:53.520 my camp of evangelicals, but there were conservative evangelicals who in the name of fighting racism
00:35:00.340 couldn't bring themselves to vote for Trump. And I think that it's interesting that 2020
00:35:07.240 is still playing a huge role in our elections, but in the opposite way that it did in 2020.
00:35:16.180 So in 2024, the events of 2020 are helping Donald Trump. In 2020, the events of 2020 hurt Donald Trump.
00:35:23.900 And I'm talking about the BLM, George Floyd riots, that whole critical race movement where a lot of
00:35:29.980 Christians were duped by BLM and a lot of the bad actors who were calling all white people racist.
00:35:35.760 I mean, they have been, they've completely shown themselves for what they are, which is just like
00:35:40.980 race idolizers, white people haters who do not believe in God's definitions of goodness and justice
00:35:48.360 at all and are just progressives. They're just progressives. And so I think a lot of evangelicals
00:35:54.160 have woken up to that. And so they're like, yeah, that's a, that's a crazy ideology. I don't vote.
00:35:59.860 In alignment with that anymore. Um, and then I think the Maha movement, the make America healthy
00:36:05.500 again, movement has really since 2020 just taken off and joined forces with Trump, which is
00:36:13.560 interesting because Trump was in charge of operation warp speed. Yes, I know. That's such a
00:36:19.400 political realignment. I just saw a post. I'll try to find it and put it up. But of someone who said
00:36:25.840 in 2016, I was, you know, crying in the streets when Hillary lost in 2020, I was celebrating in
00:36:32.900 the streets and I just voted for Trump. And I think it was Liz Wheeler who asked, I would love
00:36:37.420 to hear what changed her mind. And essentially she was like, it, it was COVID happened during COVID and
00:36:43.640 what all of the lockdowns and the regulations and things like that. That's what got people. And
00:36:48.820 yeah, still is. That is, that's really amazing. I hear from a lot of people. I have a ton of DMs. I
00:36:56.240 was just pulling them up to see if I could read any of them, but I got a ton of them and a lot of
00:37:01.000 responses to my story last night. So I don't know what I'll be able to read, but a lot of people who
00:37:05.120 said that they were, uh, that they voted for Hillary or didn't vote in 2016, then voted for Biden last
00:37:13.880 time. And then voted for Trump. I remember these were the most devastating messages I got last time.
00:37:19.040 Um, I got a few messages in 2020 before election day from people saying I already voted for Biden,
00:37:26.200 but I started listening to you and I really regret that now. And I'm like, Oh no. Um, but hopefully
00:37:34.300 this go round, this go round. So let me see. Um, I asked some people if relatable has helped
00:37:42.580 change their mind. Um, a lot of people said IVF abortion and things like that. Um, I'm really
00:37:50.660 grateful to hear that. Uh, one person said I decided to vote for Trump and changed my view on abortion
00:37:57.300 because of relatable. That's really sweet. Uh, someone said voted for Biden embarrassed to say
00:38:03.580 in 2020, but you turned me Republican. Um, and so there's probably thousands of responses that I've
00:38:11.380 gotten on here. So I can't, uh, I can't read all of them, but I'm very grateful for those of you
00:38:17.540 who have reached out to me and told me that relatable was instrumental in that. And obviously
00:38:23.840 anything that is in alignment with scripture, I'm talking beyond, uh, beyond politics where you say
00:38:32.760 that relatable changed your mind. I mean, all glory goes to God for that. And that's only by the grace
00:38:37.820 of God. And he gets to use all of us in different ways. But I'm also grateful when I change someone's
00:38:43.360 mind on, um, politics and relatable by the grace of God. Thank the Lord has a really significant
00:38:53.240 influence, um, among pastors and among church goers. And I just pray that God continues to use
00:39:00.620 it for his glory and to, um, affect people in the way that, that he chooses. And so we'll see,
00:39:08.180 we'll see what happens with all of this. I'm actually, I'm feeling really good. I was really
00:39:12.140 nervous over the weekend. I'm feeling really good right now. We'll see how I feel. I do just want
00:39:16.360 to say that I will be providing election commentary, uh, tonight for a blaze TV. It's on the blaze TV

00:41:04.180 That's jace.com, code Allie. Now, the reason that Bree is really nervous about this election is because
00:41:16.020 she is still just shaking from the power of Cardi B's endorsement of Kamala Harris.
00:41:22.700 That's true. She's like, okay, she was feeling really good about it, but then she saw this clip
00:41:29.600 and she was like, Trump cannot overcome this. Here's thought seven.
00:41:34.380 Okay. So I don't take lightly the call. Sorry, guys. I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous,
00:42:01.840 guys. I've been waiting for this moment this whole life, my whole life.
00:42:06.320 Okay. So the teleprompters went out and she has so much genuine love for Kamala Harris
00:42:13.420 that she couldn't even say one word that she had thought of.
00:42:21.120 She's literally a performer.
00:42:22.680 Yeah. You know, I've realized, though, that whether it's an actor, whether it's a singer,
00:42:30.140 it's, it, I, I'm trying to be nice because it's a different ball game to get up there and speak.
00:42:36.740 Not everyone who is a performer is a speaker, but to not be able to say literally one word
00:42:42.300 because you don't have written remarks in front of you.
00:42:44.680 Someone tried to convince me that actually Cardi B is a historian, that she isn't like an FDR historian.
00:42:55.080 Yeah.
00:42:55.620 What was the reasoning?
00:42:56.900 I don't know. I saw it on X. I didn't look into it at all. I just have a really hard time believing that.
00:43:04.360 I mean, I think that she kind of seems like a sweet person and she, I'm, you know, talented and all of that stuff.
00:43:10.560 I'm not saying that she is, I'm not trying to disrespect her in every way.
00:43:16.100 I just think that if you're going to choose someone to speak at your rally, that you should choose someone who can talk.
00:43:23.220 Yes. Actually, I think she previously had kind of verged into supporting Trump policies, at least economic policies before.
00:43:33.320 So I was actually kind of surprised to see her do this, but.
00:43:35.940 Well, she criticized Bernie Sanders, I think, at one point.
00:43:38.460 Yeah. Maybe that's what it was.
00:43:39.480 And she criticized the government in New York. She was like, we pay all this tax money and we still have like rats and trash everywhere and people can't afford groceries.
00:43:48.580 And I'm like, think, think.
00:43:51.760 Maybe those are her real thoughts. And this is her being blackmailed.
00:43:55.320 Well, she definitely, it might even, I don't even know if it's blackmail.
00:43:59.760 I think what Beyonce got paid $10 million to give her speech.
00:44:04.880 And so, I mean, maybe she probably wasn't given Beyonce money, but maybe $5 million.
00:44:10.280 Yeah.
00:44:10.560 And if you don't really care that much, I mean.
00:44:14.660 Yeah.
00:44:15.260 Yeah.
00:44:15.680 It doesn't matter.
00:44:17.040 And then also we've got LeBron James.
00:44:22.340 And LeBron James is, surprise, surprise, endorsing Kamala Harris.
00:44:27.440 Here's Saw 8.
00:44:27.940 Oh, no, I'm not a racist.
00:44:33.600 We love Hitler.
00:44:35.100 We love Trump.
00:44:36.200 They're taking black jobs now.
00:44:38.040 The whole country is going to be like, it'll be like Detroit.
00:44:40.920 A lot of it's about the genes, isn't it?
00:44:42.740 Don't you believe?
00:44:44.300 They're poisoning the blood of our country.
00:44:46.120 Is that supposed to convince people?
00:44:51.000 Is black jobs racist?
00:44:54.460 I feel like the left is always talking about black this, black that, black jobs, black excellence.
00:45:01.400 But when Trump says that, then it's like the most racist thing ever.
00:45:07.000 Yeah.
00:45:07.260 Well, it doesn't help that they spliced that together with the word like Nazi supporter.
00:45:13.880 Come on.
00:45:14.940 Cool editing, guys.
00:45:16.680 Yeah.
00:45:16.960 I remember when LeBron James a few years ago said that because he is black, people are out there literally hunting them down.
00:45:25.400 I promise you no one is going to mess with you, LeBron James.
00:45:29.380 Yeah.
00:45:29.680 You are the least vulnerable person in this country.
00:45:33.500 Yep.
00:45:34.300 Nope.
00:45:35.040 Nope.
00:45:36.140 And then, of course, she's got other celebrity endorsements.
00:45:39.740 She's got Oprah.
00:45:40.920 She's got Rihanna.
00:45:41.840 She's got John Oliver.
00:45:44.220 Another, um, she's got the Avengers cast.
00:45:48.580 Okay.
00:45:49.340 Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans.
00:45:52.300 Really?
00:45:52.660 Chris Evans?
00:45:53.260 Mark Ruffalo, a bunch of other people saying vote for Kamala Harris.
00:45:59.300 Haley Williams.
00:46:00.620 Am I confused about who Haley Williams is?
00:46:02.700 I must be confused.
00:46:04.300 I thought that Haley Williams was, like, some conservative.
00:46:07.360 I don't know.
00:46:07.960 Okay, let's play this clip because I guess I don't know who she is.
00:46:10.240 Stop 12.
00:46:10.660 Project 2025 is Donald Trump's playbook for controlling and punishing women, poor people,
00:46:21.540 people of color, and the LGBTQ plus community.
00:46:25.700 It is time for all Americans to band together and to finally defeat the Trump agenda.
00:46:31.880 And the only way to do that is by confronting him at the polls.
00:46:38.460 Do you want to live in a dictatorship?
00:46:41.640 Well, shut up and punch!
00:46:43.880 Yeah!
00:46:45.420 Okay, I'm sorry.
00:46:46.840 I completely forgot who Haley Williams was that shows how plugged in I am to pop culture.
00:46:52.520 I thought she was, like, a country singer.
00:46:53.940 I'm thinking it's someone else.
00:46:55.400 But, no, this is the Paramore singer.
00:46:57.240 We've actually played that before.
00:46:58.740 Oh, no, I'm so scared of a dictatorship.
00:47:00.380 Does it comfort you guys out there if I let you know that if Donald Trump wins,
00:47:05.220 we're not going to live in a dictatorship?
00:47:07.220 Like, does that make you feel better?
00:47:09.020 Because I promise that the guy who used to judge bikini contests is not a dictator
00:47:15.100 that is going to take away your birth control.
00:47:17.900 Like, I promise.
00:47:18.940 Can I promise you that?
00:47:21.040 Will that make you feel better?
00:47:24.040 You know, this guy was president.
00:47:26.040 Do you remember that?
00:47:27.040 Like, four years ago, he was president.
00:47:29.020 Did you feel like we were entering into a dictatorship?
00:47:32.260 Were any of your rights taken away when Donald Trump was president?
00:47:36.860 Yes, I know that some of you, you lived in a state that enacted a pro-life law,
00:47:43.180 and so it made it more difficult to kill babies.
00:47:45.860 But killing a child just because the child resides in your body is not actually a right.
00:47:50.240 It's not in the Constitution.
00:47:51.520 It's not a right of God.
00:47:52.920 It is something that is completely made up.
00:47:54.540 And by the way, it's immoral, and you can move to a blue state if you want to.
00:47:59.300 I think that's horrible.
00:48:00.220 I think it's a fundamental human right, but you still can't move to a blue state where
00:48:05.060 abortion is available through all nine months.
00:48:07.680 There's no dictatorship going on here.
00:48:10.380 You will have more freedom under Donald Trump.
00:48:12.920 Monica Lewinsky, she, her.
00:48:16.740 That's in her Twitter title, in case you didn't know that Monica Lewinsky was a woman.
00:48:24.120 She is voting for Harris Walls.
00:48:26.600 Also, surprise, surprise, lots of jokes that I could make, but I will move on.
00:48:33.460 Let's see.
00:48:34.400 Where should we go?
00:48:35.460 Where should we go?
00:48:36.380 Oh, I want to play this funny video of these Trump supporters dressing up like Kamala Harris
00:48:43.260 supporters and going to different houses where there's a Kamala sign out front and asking
00:48:49.480 them if they want to house the migrants.
00:48:52.760 Here's top six.
00:48:54.700 I dressed up like I work for Kamala's campaign, and now I'm going to deliver immigrants to her
00:48:58.920 supporters.
00:48:59.760 No!
00:49:00.980 We are voting for you.
00:49:02.180 Don't worry.
00:49:02.540 Are you?
00:49:03.120 Of course.
00:49:03.440 We do have a surprise, if that's OK.
00:49:05.160 Just real fast.
00:49:05.800 We're looking for a place for them to stay.
00:49:10.080 They just came across.
00:49:11.100 They'll sleep on floors.
00:49:12.660 I mean, they're not picky, you know?
00:49:14.380 We have like a two-year-old, so...
00:49:16.540 Hector's good with kids.
00:49:17.580 Sorry, we just can't.
00:49:18.640 Could they just like sleep on your lawn?
00:49:20.120 They need a place to stay.
00:49:21.140 They just came across.
00:49:22.140 My teenagers live with me.
00:49:23.940 Oh, that's fine.
00:49:24.880 Hector, he was dating a teenager like a little bit ago, so...
00:49:27.380 Um, OK.
00:49:28.280 They just came across.
00:49:29.180 They don't have papers.
00:49:29.820 You're in support of like the whole border situation, and we're just trying to get them a
00:49:33.780 floor to sleep on.
00:49:34.680 Do you guys want COVID?
00:49:36.520 They said they could survive it.
00:49:38.020 She really learned how to say her name.
00:49:39.460 We work with her, so we know how to say her name.
00:49:41.220 Earlier, you said Kamala.
00:49:42.460 The way she pronounces her name is Kamala.
00:49:44.440 You don't work with her either.
00:49:45.420 See that car?
00:49:46.100 We have three dudes who just came across the border.
00:49:47.880 We're trying to find them a home.
00:49:48.760 Find them a home.
00:49:49.500 Just say I'm voting for Donald Trump without saying it, OK?
00:49:52.080 That's a wrong attitude, mister.
00:49:54.140 I said my vote is private.
00:49:55.860 So you're voting Kamala.
00:49:56.880 No!
00:49:57.580 My favorite line, the Kamala supporter.
00:50:00.620 I have a two-year-old.
00:50:02.760 The guy.
00:50:03.460 Hector's good with kids.
00:50:06.080 Oh, one of the women.
00:50:07.440 I have teenagers who live with me.
00:50:09.000 Oh, Hector was just dating a teenager.
00:50:12.240 It's totally fine.
00:50:14.280 Oh, my goodness.
00:50:15.200 No, I would like to see more of this.
00:50:18.240 I think that this is what you should do.
00:50:20.580 If you are going to vote for the policies that don't affect you in your rich neighborhoods,
00:50:25.700 by the way, illegal aliens crossing the border, your family hasn't been affected by that yet.
00:50:31.540 I think your family should be affected by it.
00:50:34.140 And if you don't see the purpose of having borders, then you must not see the purpose in
00:50:38.700 having walls or doors or locks either.
00:50:42.080 But you do.
00:50:42.840 You understand the importance of having a home, of having a fence, of having a gate in your
00:50:46.720 gated community, having your own walls and your own doors and your own locks, not because
00:50:51.200 you hate your neighbors, but because you love your family inside.
00:50:53.980 Yet when it comes to the country, all of a sudden that's a bigoted position.
00:50:59.160 Oh, you've been brainwashed.
00:51:01.320 You've been brainwashed.
00:51:02.960 Okay.
00:51:03.620 Should we talk about?
00:51:05.680 Should we talk about Peanut the Squirrel?
00:51:08.840 Yeah.
00:51:09.520 You think so?
00:51:10.480 Yeah.
00:51:10.980 Okay.
00:51:11.280 Let's end on talking about Peanut the Squirrel.
00:51:13.580 This is about the stuff that really matters.
00:51:15.200 Um, I guess I'll go ahead and give our last sponsor for the day and then we can get into
00:51:20.200 Lil Peanut RIP.
00:51:23.720 Um, okay.
00:51:24.580 The last sponsor of the day is CrowdHealth.
00:51:26.600 I don't have to tell you how crazy and how expensive, uh, it is to have health insurance
00:51:33.000 these days.
00:51:33.680 I mean, it is just out of control with skyrocketing premiums and restrictive doctors networks.

00:52:33.180 That's joincrowdhealth.com slash Allie.
00:52:39.680 So X was aflame this week with the story of a squirrel named Peanut, okay?
00:52:48.000 Peanut is a squirrel that lived with a couple in New York, and he was taken by authorities
00:52:54.340 and euthanized, and people are freaking out about this because it's a story of government
00:52:59.460 overreach.
00:53:00.640 Obviously, New York City has a lot to deal with.
00:53:03.860 They have a lot of crime, a lot of drug problems, just a lot of economic issues.
00:53:08.640 They've got a problem of illegal aliens taking the space of citizens and housing, and yet this
00:53:16.140 is what they decided to focus their resources on.
00:53:19.940 So Mark Longo and his wife, they have accumulated a large audience on TikTok because of their
00:53:28.980 pet squirrel and the videos that they make with this squirrel named Peanut.
00:53:33.260 Now, what I did not know until yesterday, and Bree found this out in a very disturbing
00:53:39.100 way, that these people are not just famous for their pet squirrel, they are famous for their
00:53:44.620 adult content online.
00:53:47.640 We did not know that.
00:53:49.260 I did not verify that, but that is what I am being told, which is unfortunate.
00:53:54.700 So we're going to leave out that part of this.
00:53:58.740 We're going to leave out that part of the story.
00:54:00.800 So on October 30th, authorities came to Pine City, New York to get this squirrel, because
00:54:09.840 the squirrel was not owned lawfully.
00:54:12.520 They didn't have the right papers.
00:54:14.660 I don't know.
00:54:15.420 Um, and so they, uh, they decided that they were going to capture this squirrel, take them
00:54:22.580 away, uh, take the squirrel away.
00:54:24.760 And, uh, a raccoon, is that right?
00:54:27.740 The raccoon that this-
00:54:29.000 Fred the raccoon.
00:54:29.760 Yeah, that this couple had in their, uh, in their apartment.
00:54:34.100 Apparently, Peanut bit one of the authorities that came to get him, and then they had to
00:54:41.380 euthanize him to test the brain for rabies, just to make sure that this person, this officer,
00:54:47.880 did not get, get rabies.
00:54:49.940 If you can even get rabies from a squirrel.
00:54:52.560 But people are very upset about this, not just because of the government overreach, but
00:54:56.540 because it seems like animal cruelty, and people had fallen in love with Peanut the
00:55:00.780 Squirrel.
00:55:01.120 Here's top four.
00:55:01.840 Okay, I'm not going to lie.
00:55:25.280 It's a little disturbing.
00:55:26.600 I don't know.
00:55:27.160 I don't like rodents inside, and so, like, I don't, I'm not, like, this would never be
00:55:33.860 content that I would be like, oh, that's cute, or that's cool, or whatever.
00:55:38.000 But I do think it's crazy that New York decided to spend its resources finding and then killing
00:55:44.940 this, this squirrel confiscated by the New York Department of Environmental Conservation.
00:55:51.260 And then this guy, Mark, he gave an interview about this, obviously very distraught that
00:55:57.640 they took his squirrel.
00:55:59.040 Here's top three.
00:56:00.220 10 to 12 DEC officers raided my house as if I was a drug dealer.
00:56:05.220 I was sat outside my house for five hours.
00:56:08.820 I had to get a police escort to my bathroom.
00:56:12.140 I wasn't even allowed to feed my rescue horses breakfast or lunch.
00:56:16.720 I was sitting, sat there like a criminal after they interrogated my wife to check out her
00:56:23.700 immigration status.
00:56:25.500 Four departments and a judge signed off on a search warrant for a squirrel and a raccoon,
00:56:31.380 and then they took them and killed them.
00:56:34.680 I mean, that is kind of crazy.
00:56:36.920 Yeah.
00:56:37.640 Rescue horses.
00:56:39.220 Yeah, I don't know what that's about.
00:56:40.980 Don't you live in an apartment in New York City?
00:56:43.460 Okay, that part was a little confusing, but I do think it's crazy.
00:56:47.600 His wife is apparently an immigrant from Germany, I think, and they were asking her about her
00:56:52.280 immigration status.
00:56:53.840 Four different departments signed off on a search warrant because of a squirrel.
00:56:57.740 Like, y'all don't have better things to do.
00:57:00.700 Like, you can barely even safely walk in Central Park after dusk these days, and like, this is
00:57:06.720 your concern?
00:57:08.020 Yeah, and it took them hours.
00:57:10.120 They were there all day.
00:57:11.600 That is crazy.
00:57:12.460 Crazy.
00:57:13.380 That is crazy.
00:57:14.920 Elon Musk made this like a MAGA rallying cry.
00:57:18.400 He posted on X, President Real Donald Trump will save the squirrels.
00:57:22.360 R.I.P.
00:57:23.960 Peanut.
00:57:25.040 And then he posted all about this.
00:57:29.360 So, J.D. Vance said, let's see, this was on Sunday.
00:57:36.500 He told a crowd in North Carolina that Donald Trump is fired up about Peanut the Squirrel.
00:57:41.180 Here's top five.
00:57:43.100 So, I know Don's fired up about Peanut the Squirrel.
00:57:45.700 We were on the way down here from Cincinnati.
00:57:48.860 He was like, you know, is it really the case that the Democrats murdered the Elon Musk of
00:57:53.020 squirrels?
00:57:53.580 And I said, yeah.
00:57:54.560 It sounds like, have you seen the videos of this squirrel?
00:57:57.740 He's like, he's...
00:57:58.880 I don't know if that landed.
00:58:01.100 I don't know.
00:58:02.200 Sometimes I think that we think, those of us who are online think that everyone knows what's
00:58:06.740 going on online.
00:58:07.420 I guarantee you, if I texted my friends right now and asked them about Peanut the Squirrel,
00:58:10.680 they wouldn't know.
00:58:11.280 You probably wouldn't know.
00:58:12.040 You're probably right about that.
00:58:12.920 Yeah.
00:58:13.300 Yeah.
00:58:14.100 So, but this really did, like, become a whole thing online.
00:58:20.360 So, this person, I don't know who some of these people are, PDB, it's got a blue checkmark.
00:58:24.880 He said, a squirrel cannot live in your home legally, but illegal immigrants can stay in
00:58:28.540 your city indefinitely with financial support.
00:58:31.640 Hmm.
00:58:32.400 And one is actually harming people and the other one isn't.
00:58:35.580 Glenn Beck said, this whole Peanut the Squirrel story is both a sign that we're living in clown world
00:58:39.360 and a microcosm of everything this election is about.
00:58:42.880 Are we a nation that still believes in privacy within our homes, or are we okay with the
00:58:46.540 government being so powerful that it can raid our house and steal and kill our pets?
00:58:51.880 I mean, I understand, like, if you owned a lion or something, like, it's going to harm you.
00:58:57.480 It's going to harm the people around you.
00:58:59.000 It's probably really harmful for the lion to be cooped up in an NYC apartment, but, like,
00:59:03.020 a rodent?
00:59:04.360 Who cares?
00:59:05.040 And it's also just the concentrating on one thing at the expense of all the much more important
00:59:10.200 things that really bothers me.
00:59:12.500 But it's not because it's not just a story of government overreach and government largesse.
00:59:17.200 It's the story of bad priorities because we have bad people.
00:59:22.220 We have it's a story of the government not wanting to solve actual problems, but just torment
00:59:28.780 people's lives in a way that doesn't actually help anyone.
00:59:32.360 But then I also think about the fact that people were more outraged about this, more outraged
00:59:38.600 about this story, not just the government overreach part, but the fact that a squirrel
00:59:42.100 was euthanized than they are about the fact that babies are euthanized thousands of times
00:59:46.920 a day in the womb.
00:59:48.980 Like, I wish that we were more outraged about a single story of the government allowing and
00:59:56.080 even subsidizing the murder of children inside the womb.
01:00:00.200 I mean, that is a whole other part of this is that I do think for a lot of people, their
01:00:05.820 hearts break more when it comes to animal cruelty than when it comes to cruelty for children.
01:00:11.740 And may God just have mercy on us and revive our hearts so that we have rightly ordered
01:00:17.420 affections and outrage.

01:00:32.120 All right.
