00:02:58.940 well i don't really i don't really love it so and we didn't have it this year we just had green

00:03:04.680 beans we had sweet potato casserole which is basically like another dessert yeah it's amazing

00:03:09.560 but what's the controversy where is this oh i think people just hate it no i've heard people talk about

00:03:15.900 it here oh yeah i don't know there's there's just it's controversial i guess it's okay so green bean

00:03:21.960 casserole if i understand correctly it's like cream of mushroom soup and like funyuns basically

00:03:28.420 on the top right it's like fried onions yeah on top of green beans i think if you like green beans

00:03:34.440 i guess it sounds okay yeah uh what else did you have any any other favorites what other desserts

00:03:40.040 oh cherry pie always cherry pie okay i love cherry pie yeah i feel like cherry pie is more of a summer

00:03:47.480 pastry myself i know i've heard that i've that's also controversial but that's our family's go-to we love

00:03:53.960 cherry pie yeah and um and pumpkin pie which is not my favorite but yeah i saw that you made one

00:03:58.960 from scratch is that true i did well i've made pumpkin pies before this was not my favorite pumpkin pie i was

00:04:06.620 kind of in a rush and so i just used the first recipe that i saw and it called for uh condensed milk i

00:04:15.660 don't know if every pumpkin pie recipe calls for this but to me it made the texture a little bit

00:04:22.100 too uh moist a little bit too mushy for my taste and so because i wasn't sure how it would turn out

00:04:29.720 i bought a store like just like a store bought pre-made one that was excellent it was excellent so

00:04:37.420 i ran into someone in public by the way who saw my instagram story and asked me about my

00:04:43.600 asked me about my pumpkin pie because i had posted it i said it didn't look great but it tasted and i

00:04:50.660 used one of these and i realized that people interpret that as meaning great excellent i really

00:04:57.640 meant okay like it literally tasted okay and so when i was talking to someone in person about how the

00:05:06.320 pumpkin pie turned out i was like yeah it tasted okay and they were like oh i thought you said it

00:05:09.900 tasted great it's like oh i'm such a boomer i take i take the emojis too literally but chief related bro

00:05:18.840 cr for short he says it should be crb i say it's just cr i think cr works okay yeah i agree he made a

00:05:26.980 brisket that was amazing but he's really really good he's just a good cook in general but i mean he

00:05:34.540 nursed that thing all night he had to wake up multiple times to check the temperature

00:05:39.700 it was done at like 3 a.m so he was all worried on thanksgiving morning that it was going to have

00:05:45.160 rested too long and it wasn't going to be good by the time we ate it but it was perfect i highly

00:05:50.540 recommend brisket on thanksgiving i think that should be a new tradition yeah i would love that

00:05:56.060 so good um my aunt makes something called well this is a controversy within our family

00:06:01.960 is it chocolate delight is it mississippi mud this is the controversy i don't really know the

00:06:07.840 difference i'm just happy to eat it but it's like this homemade pretzel type crust this it's almost i

00:06:14.920 know this sounds weird but it's almost like a chocolate pudding but it's really like a chocolate

00:06:18.720 pie filling and then this homemade like meringue situation on top it is so good i could eat an entire

00:06:25.580 tub of that that sounds amazing i've never had anything like that but amazing it was amazing

00:06:31.220 and we did have cherry pie actually really good and sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes mashed potatoes

00:06:39.440 that could be they could be in their own food group for me i love mashed potatoes i've loved them my

00:06:45.940 whole life specifically mashed specifically yes like compared to other types of preparations of potatoes

00:06:54.040 yes specifically i mean i love all kinds of potatoes yeah i'm not a child children for some reason they're

00:07:02.340 like i love french fries and you're like okay here's some like scalloped potatoes like oh i hate potatoes

00:07:08.080 no i do love all potatoes but specifically mashed potatoes with like milk and butter whipped in oh it's so good

00:07:17.520 yeah so what's one thing you're thankful for oh my gosh wow i wasn't expecting this um i'm thankful

00:07:27.140 i'm thankful that i live in a place now where i can see family i used to not be able to do that

00:07:31.560 yes even though when you're at your parents house you have to view your neighbor's decorations which you

00:07:37.500 are morally against i guess yeah now i gotta put up a picture yeah you're gonna have to put a picture

00:07:42.880 which might i'm just warning you might offend some of you this could be your house this could be

00:07:47.000 our relatable fans house i know i've thought about that i was wondering if that's one of the reasons

00:07:52.500 they took down some of the ones i keep posting oh my gosh she is she judges her parents neighbors 0.94

00:07:59.440 like blow up christmas decorations and you know i am not we don't do blow up christmas decorations

00:08:07.160 but when you have kids you kind of appreciate that other people have them because your kids enjoy

00:08:12.600 looking at them and so i don't know i i don't i don't mind i don't but it's not people's christmas

00:08:18.960 decorations it's not just christmas they had a gigantic skeleton it was really scary in their

00:08:24.400 front lawn and then there's thanksgiving ones and it's just too much if it's just christmas maybe i 0.96

00:08:28.540 would let it slide yeah but i find them really tacky you know what but you're like me you're a cowardly

00:08:34.220 karen because you won't you won't go up to their front door and say something you'll just secretly

00:08:39.840 stew that's what i would do not about christmas decorations but about anything else about people

00:08:46.360 taking their shoes off on the airplane unless i'm sitting right next to them i don't think i would

00:08:51.100 say anything people parking in their driveway so that they're blocking the sidewalk so that those

00:08:58.040 of those of us who are pedestrians can't walk past i won't say anything i saw a woman do that the 0.98

00:09:03.700 other day on my walk and i literally was standing right there as she was getting out of her car

00:09:07.640 and going to the front door all this driveway ahead of her no one could get out people were

00:09:13.020 like oh maybe she didn't want to block people no no one could get out anyway she's just blocking i 1.00

00:09:17.660 didn't say a word but i took to instagram and said something about it just like you but if someone had

00:09:23.580 come out of the bushes some blonde spiky haired lady named karen and started wagging her finger at 1.00

00:09:29.860 this lady i would have said go go go karen courageous karen um okay well anything okay you said you're

00:09:38.760 thankful to live in a place with family i i think enough that you asked but i am thankful what are

00:09:46.540 you thankful for um i am also very thankful to live close to my parents that's that's a blessing i wish

00:11:36.920 code ally b 30. okay president biden has pardoned his son hunter biden giving him a quote full and

00:11:49.040 unconditional pardon which covers offenses against the united states which he has committed or may

00:11:53.460 have committed or taken part in during the period from january 1st 2014 through december 1st 2024

00:12:03.300 for hunter biden was convicted in two separate federal cases earlier this year president biden

00:12:09.020 previously gave statements declaring that he would not pardon his son uh he said in fact may 31st

00:12:19.240 2024 he just wrote this of course he is referencing alluding to very passive aggressively donald trump

00:12:26.520 he says no one is above the law but of course the community note that has recently been added now

00:12:33.520 says on this x post on december 1st 2024 president joe biden pardoned his son hunter biden for crimes

00:12:39.480 covering nearly 11 years of offenses etc etc that we just read and so joe biden said over and over again

00:12:48.420 that he would not be pardoning his son that he would stay out of this process and he even said that

00:12:56.500 he acknowledged that that's what he had said so far but basically that he thinks that this was

00:13:01.080 a witch hunt just as a reminder in june of this year hunter biden was found guilty on three felony

00:13:08.740 firearm offenses making a false statement and the purchase of a gun making a false statement related

00:13:13.880 to information required to be kept by a federally licensed gun dealer and possession of a gun by a

00:13:20.680 person who was on an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance in july hunter faced another

00:13:30.120 trial regarding three felony tax offenses and six misdemeanor tax offenses regarding the failure to pay

00:13:36.780 at least 1.4 million dollars in taxes his sentencing was scheduled for december 16th of course

00:13:45.380 these are not the only legal woes that hunter biden is facing there is a reason why joe biden didn't

00:13:52.660 just say okay i'm pardoning him for these crimes that he was convicted of maybe that would be one thing

00:14:00.360 those on the president's side are saying these were bogus charges in the first place they're just going

00:14:06.700 after hunter biden because he is the president's son these were really low level crimes etc whatever excuses

00:14:14.200 they would make but you'll notice that the pardon goes all the way back to 2014 isn't that strange

00:14:21.940 doesn't that seem very random to say we're going to cover this 10-year period what other crimes would

00:14:28.780 he need to be pardoned for this is what newsweek notes several maga figures have noted that 2014 is

00:14:37.720 the year the younger biden hunter biden joined the board at ukrainian energy company

00:14:43.520 barisma republicans have frequently accused biden of personally benefiting from and influencing his

00:14:51.120 son's foreign business deals in ukraine and china while he was vice president so that does seem to be

00:15:00.420 the reason so don't investigate any pay-for-play schemes that were happening then don't investigate

00:15:08.360 anything that went on between ukraine and china vice president biden and hunter biden don't worry about

00:15:16.820 that he has been pardoned completely and some people are arguing well of course this is what any father

00:15:24.900 would do for his son maybe you could see that in some cases in some ways but to save your adult son

00:15:35.100 your 50 something adult son from the consequences of all of his illicit actions for a decade of his

00:15:43.640 adult life no i don't think any good father would do that i actually don't think that that's

00:15:50.460 the compassionate thing again of course you would try to help your son however you possibly could and

00:15:57.420 you would probably flex any connections that you had if you felt like you could save him from

00:16:03.520 an unjust fate but again this is a grown adult who seems to have made decisions that not only

00:16:11.000 endangered himself but also endangered those around him and um i don't think that it's right i don't

00:16:20.940 think that it's right for the president to curtail justice or potential justice and so i don't really

00:16:28.400 buy that argument that oh he's just being a good dad and doing what any dad would do no i think this

00:16:34.840 pardon goes well beyond that biden wrote in the pardon from the day i took office i said i would not

00:16:40.220 interfere with the justice department's decision making and i kept my word even as i watched my son

00:16:45.740 being selectively and unfairly prosecuted he said that this is part of his son's battle with

00:16:53.360 addiction blamed raw politics i think that that is empathy mongering i don't think that that is a

00:17:01.340 good excuse for the crimes committed and the crimes potentially committed there has been an effort to

00:17:07.520 break hunter who has been five and a half years sober even in the face of unrelenting attacks and

00:17:13.200 selective prosecution and trying to break hunter they've tried to break me and there's no reason to

00:17:18.640 believe it will stop here enough is enough i hope americans will understand why a father and a

00:17:26.660 president would come to this decision again it would be one thing to pardon hunter from the specific crimes

00:17:34.160 that he was convicted for earlier this year if you felt like it was unfair prosecution i don't think

00:17:43.100 that that is a good justification for pardoning all crimes that may have been committed for the past

00:17:50.560 decade so i'm sure we'll have more on that in the days to come but we've got to move on to another

00:17:56.180 scandal this time having to do with daystar which is a large christian tv network there are people

00:18:05.680 involved in daystar that have been embroiled in a controversy that has to do with sexual abuse

00:18:11.820 allegations and new information has recently come to light so we'll get into that in just a second

00:18:16.880 let me pause and tell you about our second sponsor for the day it is seven weeks coffee i was just

00:18:21.460 talking to a friend at church yesterday who said that she is seven weeks pregnant and i'm so excited

00:18:29.000 for her and i was talking to my daughter about what size the baby is at this point and i loved that the

00:18:35.940 first thing that came to my mind was a coffee bean that i was able to tell her yeah the baby in her

00:18:40.960 belly is just the size of a coffee bean and that is exactly why seven weeks coffee has their name

00:18:47.300 because at seven weeks gestation that little image bearer of god is as small as a coffee bean

00:18:54.380 and yet has so much value and that's why seven weeks believes in fighting for every beating heart so

00:19:01.440 they donate a percentage of every sale of their coffee to a pro-life pregnancy center across the

00:19:07.100 country they've donated over half a million dollars in the short lifespan of this company to those

00:19:13.440 pregnancy centers they have saved thousands of lives through those resources that they've been able to

00:19:19.300 donate and they just make top-notch coffee truly clean mold free better than organic incredible great

00:19:28.360 tasting coffee it's just a win all around get your coffee from seven weeks coffee go to seven weeks

00:19:42.780 jonathan lamb the son of daystar president joni lamb and jonathan's wife susie are alleging in recent

00:19:55.100 interviews that a family member and employee of daystar only identified as quote-unquote pete

00:20:01.280 is suspected of sexually abusing their daughter and that joni and other higher-ups at daystar

00:20:07.040 covered up the allegations however jonathan lamb claims that the cover-up allegations are part of a

00:20:13.120 smear and blackmail campaign and a power struggle for leadership in the wake of his jonathan's recent

00:20:22.100 firing so why now because these allegations have actually come to light in the past so why are we now

00:20:29.800 talking about this jonathan and susie brought their story to an investigative journalist in august 2024

00:20:36.560 this decision came after years of growing disagreements with the family and daystar namely

00:20:42.520 joni's remarriage to a recently divorced man and susie being let go from daystar also the police reopened

00:20:49.660 the investigation into the sexual abuse claim in late 2023 early 2024 and this recent report talking

00:21:00.840 about these allegations then triggered new media attention surrounding the story jonathan and susie

00:21:07.700 made a video on november 29th just a few days ago posted it to ask to answer any questions and to tell

00:21:14.880 their own story of what really happened so before we get into more details about that i want to give

00:21:21.220 you a little bit of a background on daystar if you don't know who they are this is according to

00:21:26.340 christianity today in new york post it is one of the world's largest christian tv networks with

00:21:32.060 approximately 100 channels it was founded by jonie and marcus lamb is reportedly worth a billion dollars

00:21:38.680 employs about 300 staff turns over approximately 100 million dollars annually marcus lamb served as

00:21:44.960 the company's ceo until he passed away from covet in 2021 his widow joni became ceo of the television

00:21:52.260 network after his death all of the children of the lambs have a significant role in the network marcus lamb

00:21:59.020 was an ordained bishop in the pentecostal church of god so something might be ringing a bell there daystar

00:22:06.000 is very charismatic in the um people that it promotes and it also promotes largely the

00:22:14.140 heretical prosperity gospel lamb started by traveling the country leading a holy spirit crusade as a young

00:22:23.040 college graduate that's where he met his wife and he later claimed it was his assignment from god to

00:22:29.460 build television stations so that we can reach the most people in the least amount of time i don't think

00:22:34.780 that that is um a bad thing i think it's great to use all kinds of technology to reach as many people

00:22:40.720 as possible on new year's eve 1997 they they launched daystar and they broadcast an inaugural sermon by

00:22:48.780 preacher t.d jakes he is one of the biggest proponents of the uh heretical prosperity gospel this idea that

00:22:56.860 when you become a christian you are entitled through jesus to health and wealth and prosperity and that

00:23:03.700 these are all signs and signals of god's love for you and faithfulness to you of course we know that

00:23:10.400 that is in opposition to jesus's teachings who says in this world you will have trouble but take heart

00:23:17.340 not hey i'm gonna give you a lot of money but take heart i have overcome the world it's not to mean that

00:23:24.520 we have to be poor or that it is bad to have wealth but god gives god takes away and he is not promising

00:23:33.720 christians earthly prosperity material wealth and there are plenty of evil people who have

00:23:41.800 abundant wealth and who are very healthy who of course are not faithful to god and who don't have

00:23:54.280 god's favor in their lives and so it's just a false gospel and it has led people to be burdened with a

00:24:01.460 message that is just not true there have been other controversies surrounding daystar in 2010

00:24:08.780 marcus lamb went on air with his wife to confess to a sexual relationship with a woman who worked in

00:24:14.300 hr at daystar he described it as an affair he said he takes full responsibility and that he is

00:24:20.920 reconciled with his wife according to christianity today lamb went public with the confession because

00:24:26.800 three former employees sued daystar for lying about the moral climate of the company when hiring new

00:24:32.640 staff lamb countersued claiming the employees conspired to extort money from him the lawsuits

00:24:39.500 were eventually dropped there have also been some financial questions about daystar when covid hit

00:24:45.820 daystar applied for the federal paycheck protection program uh to pay its employees received 3.9

00:24:52.560 million dollars two weeks after the loan was approved daystar bought a multi-million dollar jet so there

00:25:00.520 are just some questions about that but this current controversy has to do with something i think is even

00:25:06.720 more serious far more serious certainly than any financial questions and that is uh allegations of child

00:25:14.320 sexual abuse and cover-up so according to the video that jonathan and suzy lamb posted on x and as a

00:25:21.380 reminder jonathan the son of joanie lamb who is the president slash ceo of daystar who helped found

00:25:30.120 daystar so uh jonathan and his wife alleged in recent interviews that a family member and employee of daystar

00:25:36.400 only identified as pete is suspected of sexually abusing their daughter pete has denied abusing the child

00:25:42.520 according to a letter from pete's attorney this is the timeline that they have articulated on x so

00:25:50.820 jonathan and suzy said they first reported allegations of abuse against their daughter to

00:25:55.640 police in collieville texas in november 2020 suzy said their daughter told her in november 2020 that

00:26:01.740 she had been molested using graphic details this is so sad and disturbing so just be warned uh suzy said

00:26:10.220 that her daughter said the molester was quote taller than daddy suzy contacted her daughter's school but

00:26:16.380 was told there were no adult males working there from there they filed a report with the police according

00:26:21.760 to the department the case was closed shortly after jonathan and suzy said they believed the case was

00:26:26.880 closed because their daughter was too terrified and traumatized to talk to the police at that time

00:26:31.580 and just for context it does appear that um the daughter was four years old at the time that she

00:26:39.800 was talking to her parents about being molested by someone uh then in 2021 jonathan and suzy claimed that

00:26:47.200 after their initial complaint was made another alleged incident involving their daughter occurred jonathan

00:26:53.460 and suzy lamb alleged that in the summer of 2021 they caught pete alone with their unclothed daughter

00:26:58.600 in a room at a beach house day star rented for its annual executive retreat in miramar beach florida and

00:27:06.660 confronted him about it i have a lot of questions about how in the world that happened when suzy lamb

00:27:13.480 reported this to jonie lamb uh suzy claimed that she was told not to report it to the police jonathan and

00:27:20.200 suzy claimed that jonie and marcus told them that pete had been cleared of any wrongdoing by a forensic

00:27:25.700 psychologist who had interviewed and examined him here's top one a few days later my father calls me

00:27:33.120 and my brother-in-law into his office he tells us that pete has been cleared by this forensic examiner

00:27:38.240 and that we need to submit and move forward yeah and and all we ever knew in our lives all we had

00:27:44.640 ever done is obey and submit we had never questioned yeah so even though i i had big strong doubts i i was

00:27:52.220 angry i'm not gonna just lie and say that you know i i moved on at the end of the day i trusted that my

00:27:59.360 dad had actually gone through the process of clearing pete with this examiner and we moved forward

00:28:05.180 okay so very strange this was obviously right before marcus his dad had died because he died later

00:28:13.360 in 2021 from covid complications 2023 uh jonathan and suzy took their daughter to a counselor who

00:28:22.840 reported the suspected abuse to texas child protective services the couple says the police

00:28:28.140 investigation was reopened and their video posted to x jonathan and suzy claimed that the forensic

00:28:33.820 psychology reports which were claimed to have cleared pete of any wrongdoing were never complete i

00:28:39.320 don't really understand how a psychology report would have cleared anyone of wrongdoing i don't really

00:28:48.000 understand how that was ever considered part of a proper process to see if someone really molested a

00:28:55.720 child that just doesn't even make any sense to me that's very strange um a spokesperson for the

00:29:02.600 collieville police told the new york post that the department couldn't release further information

00:29:07.200 as it is an open investigation no charges against anyone have been brought at this time

00:29:12.600 jonathan and suzy lamb claim that jonathan's late father marcus and mother worked to protect pete

00:29:19.580 and day star's image rather than their own granddaughter now joni lamb has a response to all of these

00:29:27.700 allegations and the fresh reports of these allegations and i'll get to that in just a second let me pause

00:29:33.160 tell you about our next sponsor and that is good ranchers i'm so thankful for good ranchers i think

00:29:39.440 so often how just grateful i am for a freezer full of all american meat it's what the stucky family relies

00:29:45.860 on for almost every dinner they're better than organic chicken they're amazing cuts of beef they're wild

00:29:54.300 cut salmon it is just all so good they've got an amazing holiday special going on right now if you go to

00:30:26.140 they're like trying for carnivore or just to eat healthier get them the gift of american meat to go

00:30:31.980 to good ranchers.com code alley so day star released a written response last week claiming that they

00:30:42.260 investigated the claims internally found no evidence of wrongdoing they also point out that the allegation

00:30:47.920 became public only days after joni had fired jonathan from the network earlier in november so

00:30:56.020 she's basically claiming joni is basically claiming no that's not true we didn't cover this up

00:31:01.780 this is just retaliation because jonathan is mad that he was never made ceo and president

00:31:08.060 and that he has been fired now he says that he was actually fired after these new reports of the

00:31:20.920 allegations uh resurfaced or surfaced he says that he was officially fired on the saturday after

00:31:28.420 the story was published an unusual move when most firings happen during the work week joni vehemently

00:31:35.800 denies all allegations of a cover-up or dissuading her son and daughter-in-law from going to the police

00:31:41.580 saying that they are completely false now in 2023 jonathan refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement

00:31:48.160 an nda from the company according to jonathan two days following his refusal he was demoted from

00:31:54.580 vice president to manager placed on a personal improvement plan and went from being on screen to

00:31:59.300 running the cafe day star pointed out in nda's standard industry document they require all employees

00:32:05.520 to sign ndas do not stop or interfere with any person reporting a crime to authorities jonathan was

00:32:12.960 then fired in november this past november last month for not meeting the terms of his improvement

00:32:18.760 plan including insubordination and failure to show leadership joni issued a public statement about all

00:32:26.140 of this on november 25th here's sought to rather than take any steps to improve his performance at day

00:32:31.840 star it seems clear now that jonathan was focused on fabricating a smear campaign you see jonathan was

00:32:38.860 extremely disappointed that he was not named the future president of day star following the death

00:32:44.220 of his father and my husband marcus lamb despite the fact that marcus had given a clear directive to

00:32:50.740 the family and to the board that i would succeed him as president i want to assure you that all the

00:32:57.200 allegations that are circulating against myself and my late husband are completely false we have already

00:33:05.580 begun to take legal steps to defend ourselves and we will address the accusations in a god-honoring way

00:33:11.600 okay so that's her response she does not deny that he was terminated for allegedly not stepping up to

00:33:22.040 the plate and doing a good job i also didn't hear her deny that he was demoted after he refused to sign

00:33:32.040 an nda now there is nothing immoral about an nda it actually is very necessary to make sure that people

00:33:39.780 working for a company aren't going to go and share trade secrets or if you learn something personal

00:33:46.540 about another employee or something about the ceo of a company when you're working somewhere that you

00:33:52.940 don't go out and publicize that like that is very normal it doesn't stop someone from going to the

00:33:58.920 police if a crime was committed however it does seem strange in light of everything else that

00:34:06.900 appeared to be going on there that allegedly was going on there that he was demoted because he refused

00:34:12.620 to sign that um he says she says that basically this is blackmail this is revenge because he didn't

00:34:22.300 become ceo and so now he's just trying to get back at us i have gotten a lot of questions about this

00:34:30.660 i've been asked to talk about it um i'm sure that there will be more details revealed sometimes even as

00:34:36.480 i'm explaining these things there are more details that we may have missed although we of course try our

00:34:41.900 very hardest not to do that there could be some things coming out right now as i am even talking and so

00:34:48.240 of course i will add any clarification that is needed um but unfortunately this is a story that

00:34:56.840 we hear that we have heard over and over again even among those who consider themselves a part of the

00:35:05.060 church and so we need to pray here for true transparency for truth to win and for justice to win and i just

00:35:12.700 think about this little girl who either is a true victim of sexual abuse and her sexual abuser is

00:35:19.380 walking around out there unscathed and potentially protected or she is being used in an internal power

00:35:27.140 struggle and either way she seems to be a victim here if she was truly molested then we need to pray

00:35:36.800 um that her abuser would be brought to justice and that everyone who covered up this abuse

00:35:43.180 and refused accountability and refused to go the proper route which is through civic authorities

00:35:49.120 um that they are also brought to justice now daystar again has platformed for years heretical teachings 0.88

00:35:57.400 of health and wealth uh prosperity gospel messaging and so um i cannot say that i am praying for the success

00:36:09.100 and the preservation of a platform like that but i am praying for everyone involved to be humbled to

00:36:17.100 bring themselves before the lord and for god to somehow be glorified as the truth and justice prevail

00:36:24.140 that is what i am praying for here for true honesty for true repentance from all applicable parties

00:36:31.880 and um it if all of these claims are true it is good that they are coming to light and for comfort for

00:36:39.900 that poor girl however she is being used or possibly abused there is also a lesson to be learned here

00:36:47.060 about nepotism um i think it can be really beautiful to have a family business and to have a family mission in

00:36:53.680 which all different family members are involved and are striving toward one goal it can also be

00:37:00.180 extremely messy when familial ties are interwoven with professional ties when professional

00:37:07.680 ambition crosses over into personal familial relationships or when those two things are competing against each

00:37:15.860 other rather it can be a recipe for disaster because accountability is so often compromised

00:37:23.540 integrity is so often compromised and actually i would say that is also the story when it comes to

00:37:30.000 biden um objectivity and a blind lady justice is very difficult when the people that you love and have a

00:37:40.000 relationship with are involved doesn't mean that there can't be any family endeavors again i think that

00:37:46.480 they can be very good but everything must be in submission to a higher loyalty and that is to

00:37:53.720 god the creator of truth and justice and certainly those who claim to be christians like the ones at day

00:37:59.240 star should know this so pray for the situation and for truth to prevail and for god to somehow be

00:38:05.520 glorified even as he is so clearly and publicly refining his church all right we've got just a couple more

00:38:11.740 things to talk about let me pause tell you about our next sponsor for the day and that is every life

00:38:16.940 every life is a pro-life diaper company they put their money where their mouth is they're not only

00:38:22.000 making amazing diapers with incredible ingredients it's the brand that we trust in our home the diapers

00:38:28.400 really work they're clean i love that but they also use every dollar to support their employees

00:38:40.120 taken care of that they have the time and the resources they need to grow and care for their

00:38:45.960 children they're growing families but also they care for moms who are in need pregnant moms in crisis by

00:38:53.800 donating resources and dollars to these pregnant moms who are choosing life for their babies but really

00:39:02.260 need help and so that's why every life exists and i just love this company they're the real deal go to

00:39:08.000 everylife.com use code ally10 you'll get a 10 discount on your first order go to everylife.com code ally10

00:39:16.520 okay let's end on a happy note let's end with some non-woke ads so i don't know if you guys saw

00:39:28.440 jaguar jaguar the car brand they came out with new branding and they said copy nothing i think that's

00:39:35.760 what it was was a copy no one copy nothing something like that and it was ironic i thought it was a joke

00:39:41.520 because it actually seems like so many other brands like we'll put up a picture but the the new logo of

00:39:47.840 jaguar gets rid of what made the jaguar brand so unique and luxurious and sleek and it's just ugly now

00:39:56.800 very bland very modern and so people were upset about that also in the reveal of their new logo

00:40:06.940 it was a bunch of gender bending woke very gross nonsense and so it just made i think the jaguar brand 0.91

00:40:17.020 look extremely cheap and imitative but then you've got these other brands that are coming out with

00:40:23.520 very sweet ads i think very original ads and they show kind of where the culture is going there was

00:40:31.240 this volvo ad and i'll give you kind of a summary especially for those of you who are listening and you

00:40:36.040 can't watch what's being depicted but a young couple my only beef with this is that they're an unmarried 0.53

00:40:43.160 couple having a child but i will take what i can get it's still really sweet an unmarried couple

00:40:48.540 shares the news of being pregnant with their uh with their loved ones so they're sharing the news

00:40:53.640 with their loved ones of being pregnant the young man shares the news with his mother with both

00:40:58.080 excitement and nervousness about the responsibilities and the joy that come with parenting he adds that

00:41:05.300 this will encourage them to get married the rest of the ad shows videos of their future as a family

00:41:11.000 in the moments that he looks forward to it's really sweet like it's a very pro-life it's a very pro-life

00:41:16.780 message and actually the fact that they're unmarried and having a child is probably even more of a pro-life

00:41:22.720 message because that's often used as a reason for a couple to have an abortion because of all of the 1.00

00:41:29.620 fear that comes with making another commitment and the expenses and it's just really sweet they show the

00:41:37.520 beauty and the joy of the sacrifice and the fear but the excitement and purpose that comes with having a

00:41:45.860 child and then at the very end it says for life as it depicts this mom and dad and their newborn baby

00:41:52.960 here's top five

00:41:53.900 Kate's pregnant 0.92

00:42:03.660 you're gonna be a grandma

00:42:07.840 i'm scared mom

00:42:11.820 why are you scared about it all you know the night's responsibility we're gonna need a bigger

00:42:19.360 place i know bless you i'm so sweet i've got this feeling that we're gonna have a daughter

00:42:28.040 what if i don't do good in class i just want to say and do the right things you know

00:42:34.340 i want to see a world with her also be happy staying home doing nothing letting her be a kid 0.99

00:42:47.200 so we had to cut that down a little bit but it's just so sweet such a sweet message and especially in

00:43:04.100 this anti-natalist culture that we live in now where babies are seen as brats and burdens rather than

00:43:10.020 as blessings and um really credits to the world rather than just uh debits that's how they should

00:43:20.820 be seen that latter description but unfortunately they're very often seen as the former and it's a

00:43:26.040 very self-centered way to think this idea that we shouldn't be bringing kids into the world because

00:43:30.280 oh we live in this scary time people live in much scarier times and much worse times this is how

00:43:37.260 humanity keeps going if we live in a scary bad time what does the world need more than strong brave

00:43:45.980 wise innovative people that can be raised by people like you it is our greatest contribution

00:43:52.980 so i loved this by volvo way better than jaguar my first car was a volvo and it was a great car a

00:44:00.220 very safe car um and then we've got this other car ad and this is from chevy just very nostalgic and

00:44:09.120 sweet thought six granddad taught me everything about this truck

00:44:12.900 dear how many rpm that you're meant to measure but i just listen to the sound bring it down too much

00:44:22.840 then it's whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop you used to tell me about you

00:44:27.360 no what what a big heart you had

00:44:33.960 you're kind

00:44:36.580 and he loved how curious you were about his work and you wanted to help him build things

00:44:43.940 but william's house now is your granddad

00:44:48.180 he built that one too didn't he yeah he'd be the first to tell you about it

00:44:52.120 see that place over there coming yeah i built that

00:44:56.380 you can re-roof the church for free

00:45:01.060 you can make anything

00:45:07.180 so the beginning of that ad and again we couldn't play the whole thing because

00:45:12.180 it's five and a half minutes long but this young boy is being pressured to go to different

00:45:17.080 colleges and to you know aspire to a fancy white collar job but the rest of this ad is showing how he

00:45:25.520 really finds solace with his father in his grandfather's woodworking shop

00:45:29.520 goes for a drive and the grandfather's old chevy truck when the boy tells his dad that he wants to

00:45:35.240 be just like his grandfather his dad says you already are so just the legacy that is being

00:45:42.140 passed down from grandfather to father to son through this chevy that has kind of been an

00:45:48.640 inheritance for him that i think symbolizes a much greater and deeper inheritance that he has

00:45:55.260 been passed down again very sweet very family centered we see the importance and the prominence

00:46:02.300 of fatherhood which is another thing that is so demonized today the best depiction that we get 0.98

00:46:08.760 of fatherhood of fatherhood in most of the media in hollywood today is like this dolt dolt of a dad 0.96

00:46:16.880 phil dunphy who can't do anything right who has to rely on his girl boss of a wife for everything i mean 0.88

00:46:26.440 that's what we've been conditioned to see for so long so to have two ads where you have this sweet

00:46:33.480 strong providing caring wise father is really really something and really sweet and then the last ad and

00:46:43.540 this one made me cry as i watched it for the first time i mean i was just sobbing this is not a car ad

00:46:50.900 this is an apple ad and i know all of these companies they still probably have woke values i'm not saying

00:46:58.600 that you know if you're not supporting these companies that you should change your mind necessarily

00:47:03.340 i'm just using these as as signs that maybe these brands these companies are waking up to the fact

00:47:12.560 that the culture is not shifting in the far left direction that they thought that it was they put all

00:47:18.600 their eggs in the far left transgender basket and i think this election did show people um okay maybe 0.91

00:47:27.240 we're not going there quite yet and they are adjusting based on this information here's

00:47:34.700 stop four we got it last week i think i know what it is

00:47:38.980 guys thank you

00:47:42.300 john listen

00:48:05.760 listen

00:48:06.500 light the fire you place the flowers in the vase that you bought today

00:48:21.500 i am still i am crying right now that is so sweet that's the thing also about becoming a parent is that

00:48:43.180 you see your own children and every child and so it makes everything so emotional but if you're just

00:48:49.880 listening to this um this is a dad who on christmas day he and his wife gifted their daughter with

00:48:56.460 a new guitar and he's watching this and he's having i'm about to start crying he's having all these

00:49:03.020 flashbacks of her growing up as a little girl and all these sweet memories and then it's revealed at

00:49:09.820 the end when his other daughter gives him these airpods that now work as hearing aids and he puts them

00:49:16.560 in and he turns them up and then he can hear his daughter clearly as she is playing on her new

00:49:23.520 guitar and singing and so that was the reveal of their new airpod product that is also uh is also a

00:49:32.940 hearing aid functions as a hearing aid um oh my goodness that is just so sweet so we've got three

00:49:39.140 pro-fatherhood pro-family pro-children ads and might i just note might i just note because this was a

00:49:49.160 running joke on x for the past several years that you almost never see an ad where it's just all white

00:49:57.560 straight people like you just don't see that anymore it just doesn't fit the dei qualifications 1.00

00:50:02.800 and that was the case at least in at least in two of these ads i just think that's interesting i'm just

00:50:10.460 noting that that is interesting it's an interesting direction that these companies are going in that

00:50:16.980 they don't seem to be as concerned with checking all of the intersectional boxes and the power of

00:50:23.640 marketing the power of media we literally are especially in some countries like south korea heading

00:50:30.020 towards societal collapse because people are not having children because people are valuing their

00:50:35.980 pets their plants their professions more than they are contributing to the next generation getting

00:50:44.520 married procreating and we cannot exist if that is the case we don't want to enter this brave new world 1.00

00:50:52.920 where our future generations the future workers uh depend upon artificial procreation 1.00

00:51:02.220 it's not going to be pretty if dystopia is our future and of course it is an assault on the creation

00:51:10.360 order the mandate that human beings have to be fruitful and multiply i understand that many of you want to

00:51:16.520 be married and want to have kids haven't been able to do that and of course i'm not trying to lecture

00:51:21.820 you we are talking about the people that have that choice that are choosing not to or putting their

00:51:27.320 own selfish desires first even saying that it's for the good of the planet or for the good of children

00:51:34.580 not to have more children but of course that is a farce as i said there have been much harder times

00:51:40.660 than now and there is nothing as sanctifying nor as fulfilling as having children as difficult

00:51:47.740 as the whole parenting process may sometimes be so i just thought that was beautiful and maybe it's

00:51:54.560 a good sign of where our culture may be actually headed uh all right let me tell you about our last

00:52:01.020 sponsor for the day before we head out of here and that is net suite the number one cloud erp that
