00:00:48.480 Hey, y'all. Welcome to Relatable. Happy Monday. Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.
00:01:03.080 All right. Today is the day. We are talking about Jeffrey Epstein, the latest developments in that very disturbing story,
00:01:12.400 why we should care about it, and what to think about the political response to everything that has gone on.
00:01:20.560 First, before we get into all of that, I've got a personal request to make of my audience.
00:01:27.020 And because y'all are the best and most thoughtful and most caring and most encouraging and generous audience in the world,
00:01:34.820 I know that when I ask this, I can trust without a doubt that you guys are going to do it.
00:01:41.220 And what I'm asking for is prayer, not just for me and Chief Relatable and our family,
00:01:48.520 but also our team and all of the people that make Relatable happen and that make Share the Arrows happen.
00:01:55.600 There's so much coming down the pipeline as we have one month until Share the Arrows.
00:02:01.960 It's crazy so much. Prayer and energy and creativity and effort has gone in to Share the Arrows.
00:02:08.980 You guys probably know a little bit, or maybe you don't.
00:02:12.920 There are so many layers and so many different moving pieces when it comes to creating a Christian women's conference
00:02:19.720 that is hosting close to 5,000 women.
00:02:23.320 We are so excited, so thankful to the Lord for each and every one of you and for everything that He has done to help make this happen.
00:02:30.180 But there are a few things we know.
00:02:32.620 One, I mean, logistical complications just happen.
00:02:37.240 Technological complications happen.
00:02:39.540 Travel complications happen.
00:02:42.620 All of that can go down in the next month.
00:02:45.100 But also we know that Satan hates worship and Satan hates the gathering of the saints.
00:02:50.720 Satan hates for people, especially women, to be told what is true about what God's Word says.
00:02:56.520 He doesn't want Christians to be equipped.
00:02:58.940 He doesn't want Christians to be refreshed.
00:03:00.740 He doesn't want women to be rejuvenated.
00:03:03.420 He wants them to continue to believe in the self-help, self-empowerment slop that has made so many of us complacent and ineffective in our faith.
00:03:14.300 And so I am just asking you to pray for our protection and to pray that all of Satan's schemes will be thwarted.
00:03:21.960 I am the kind of person that has to be continually reminded of the existence of that spiritual battle that goes on.
00:03:29.140 I am a very kind of practical person, which has its strengths.
00:03:33.060 But I have to remember there is a spiritual realm and a spiritual battle that is waging.
00:03:38.220 So I just ask that you would pray for our protection, that you would pray for God's favor over our lives and over all that we are planning and mapping out in the hopes that God will be glorified and that women will be equipped.
00:03:54.460 But there are some other things that are coming down the pipeline for me, some really incredible God-ordained opportunities for me to share the gospel in a very public way.
00:04:06.800 Can't talk about it yet.
00:04:08.280 You will see it.
00:04:09.260 You will know about it.
00:04:10.420 I will tell you about it when the time comes.
00:04:12.700 But if you could just pray for us and pray for wisdom and pray for effectiveness, too, that would just mean so much.
00:04:20.920 And just a reminder, I am so thankful for all of you.
00:04:24.600 Again, I know I've already said it, but best, best audience in the world.
00:04:28.840 And I am grateful every single day for all of you.
00:04:32.000 All right.
00:04:32.760 Now that I've gotten off that soapbox, let's get into the first story of the day.
00:04:37.760 And that is Jeffrey Epstein.
00:04:39.800 You guys have been asking me to talk about this for a while.
00:04:42.880 I will get into the timing of why I'm talking about this now and haven't spent several episodes talking about it so far.
00:04:49.240 It's certainly not because I don't care.
00:04:51.480 This is vitally important.
00:04:53.280 And I will explain why at the end of this segment.
00:04:56.400 But first, let us just talk about what is going on.
00:04:59.840 So on September 2nd, 2025, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, this is a Republican from Kentucky,
00:05:06.640 released 33,000 pages of DOJ subpoenaed documents about Jeffrey Epstein.
00:05:13.480 He is, of course, as most of you know, a convicted sex offender who died by suicide, allegedly, in 2019,
00:05:22.000 awaiting trial for the sex trafficking of minors.
00:05:25.620 So the House of Representatives passed a resolution on September 3rd with a 212 to 208 vote.
00:05:33.740 So very split authorizing the committee's ongoing probe into the Epstein case and permitting the release of unclassified records from the DOJ, Treasury and Epstein's estate.
00:05:45.340 So, as many of you have followed over the years, you probably know that there are a lot of theories,
00:05:53.260 a lot of questions surrounding Epstein's death and the different connections that he had,
00:05:59.640 especially when it came to the trafficking of minors.
00:06:03.680 This vote in the House had zero Democratic support.
00:06:06.800 It sparked debate over its effectiveness, this resolution's effectiveness,
00:06:10.940 in providing transparency and justice to the victims.
00:06:14.160 Oversight Committee Democrats pointed out that there was little new information in the files that have been released so far.
00:06:23.980 So this is their statement.
00:06:25.960 The 33,000 pages of Epstein documents James Comer has decided to release were already mostly public information.
00:06:33.380 This is from Representative Robert Garcia.
00:06:35.820 After careful review, Oversight Democrats have found that 97% of the documents received from the Department of Justice were already public.
00:06:44.740 There is no mention of any client list or anything that improves transparency or justice for victims.
00:06:51.140 Now, I, of course, would ask, though, if that is the case, if there's no new information, then what is the harm in releasing it?
00:06:59.360 I could see how someone could say maybe this is political posturing.
00:07:03.120 This isn't actually advancing the ball down the field.
00:07:07.460 However, however, if that is the case, is it a negative?
00:07:12.320 Is it a drawback to release it?
00:07:14.880 Representative Thomas Massey, however, a Republican from Kentucky, also opposed the resolution.
00:07:20.520 He said during a news conference on September 3rd that it, quote, does absolutely nothing.
00:07:26.120 He also said, I appreciate the efforts of my colleague, James Comer, who is leading the Oversight Committee.
00:07:31.800 They may find some information, but they're allowing the DOJ to curate all of the information that the DOJ is giving them.
00:07:39.000 That is his perspective.
00:07:40.920 He and Democratic Representative Ro Khanna are promoting a separate bill to release all DOJ records.
00:07:47.640 Massey is urging his colleagues to listen to the victims during the news conference.
00:07:53.700 He is saying this.
00:07:54.660 What if this was your sister?
00:07:55.680 What if this was your daughter?
00:07:56.900 Here's that one.
00:07:58.260 The Washington establishment is asking the American public to believe something that is not believable.
00:08:03.980 They're asking you to believe that two individuals created hundreds of victims and they acted alone and that the DOJ has no idea of who else might have been involved,
00:08:16.300 that nobody else did anything that rose to a criminal enterprise.
00:08:21.900 The American people know that's not true.
00:08:24.440 Now, the Speaker of the House just offered a fig leaf to my colleagues.
00:08:28.220 They're going to vote on a non-binding resolution today that does absolutely nothing.
00:08:33.580 Okay, so those are his thoughts.
00:08:38.280 The survivors announced during this press conference that they know the names of the abusers who were involved in Epstein's sex trafficking ring
00:08:45.160 and that they are planning to independently compile their own list.
00:08:49.460 Here they are, Satu.
00:08:50.660 Several of us Epstein survivors have been discussing creating our own list of names.
00:08:55.300 We know the names.
00:09:06.180 Many of us were abused by them.
00:09:08.980 Now, together as survivors, we will confidentially compile the names we all know were regularly in the Epstein world.
00:09:17.080 Okay, I just find this whole thing very strange.
00:09:20.540 I really do.
00:09:21.900 I find, I just find it very strange.
00:09:24.560 I know that there's been a lot of energy on the right and criticizing this administration.
00:09:30.820 We'll get into some of that in just a minute and criticizing the DOJ.
00:09:34.860 Look, I still think that the DOJ and Pam Bondi, that they're doing a good job on a lot of different issues.
00:09:43.620 I think that there's a lot of political capital in saying, no, I'm the real person.
00:09:48.900 I'm the real side that's going to champion transparency.
00:09:51.880 But there's also, there's just a lot of politics within this.
00:09:56.060 And that's unfortunate.
00:09:57.440 I think that, personally, I think that Pam Bondi and the DOJ have been unfairly maligned when it comes to this.
00:10:04.400 I think that we don't know all of the different layers of what is going on here.
00:10:10.960 While we also acknowledge that we should want transparency, that we should want truth, that we should want justice, 100% yes and amen.
00:10:20.260 But I have questions about all of the different politicians and the spokespeople that are getting themselves involved in this.
00:10:29.320 That's what I'll say for now.
00:10:31.020 Okay, let's talk about who Jeffrey Epstein is because you might know a lot.
00:10:35.800 You might not know all of the details, though, that make him so relevant and so important.
00:10:41.320 But before we get into that, I got to tell y'all about Share the Arrows.

00:11:56.120 I just got an amazing text this morning from one of my friends.
00:11:59.900 She was saying how like half of her family is down with a cold.
00:12:03.140 A couple weeks ago, different members of her family had a stomach bug.
00:12:07.740 And she said that she has avoided sickness both times.
00:12:12.300 She also, when she does get sick, recovers like in half the time of everyone else.
00:12:17.440 And she said, I credit my supplements from We Heart Nutrition for that.
00:12:22.820 She's been taking them for two years like I have.
00:12:25.480 And just like I have, she has seen a huge difference in her immune response to illness.
00:12:30.240 Me too.
00:12:31.240 I rarely get sick anymore.
00:12:32.920 If you go back and listen to some episodes from like later fall 2023, even the very beginning
00:12:39.400 of 2024, I sound like I'm sick all the time.
00:12:42.140 One, I was like, you know, postpartum and all of that.
00:12:45.280 But my immune system was just shot.
00:12:47.080 Even though I was taking vitamins.
00:12:49.220 Switch to We Heart Nutrition.

00:13:20.340 I listened to this very interesting podcast on the Interesting Times podcast with Ross Douthit.
00:13:29.620 I have been on that podcast before.
00:13:32.040 I really appreciated the conversation that we had there.
00:13:34.820 But he had a very interesting discussion with Julie K. Brown, who is an investigator who has
00:13:41.060 covered the Epstein case since 2016.
00:13:43.820 And she told Ross in this interview who Jeffrey Epstein was and why he matters.
00:13:49.980 So he was a wealthy financier.
00:13:52.320 He's a convicted sex offender who mingled with elites like Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, billionaire
00:13:58.720 Les Wexner, and others.
00:14:02.600 She also said to Ross, he was very wealthy, but there was no real indicator of how he made
00:14:10.600 his wealth.
00:14:11.760 Brown credits Epstein's wealth to his intelligence, his cleverness, his ability to exploit others'
00:14:18.300 weaknesses, his networking power, his charisma.
00:14:22.740 She says, quote,
00:14:23.440 I think the key to Epstein's real success is the fact that he would find the weak point
00:14:28.800 that anybody had, whatever they needed or wanted, and he would exploit that.
00:14:33.560 And I don't know what he had on Les Wexner, who became one of his primary clients.
00:14:39.400 Les Wexner is a billionaire who owned Victoria's Secret and also the limited retail stores at
00:14:44.940 the time, and Epstein somehow met him.
00:14:48.180 And Wexner was really his primary client.
00:14:50.520 As a result of that, she says, Epstein's wealth just ballooned.
00:14:55.540 So he owned all of these lavish properties.
00:14:58.220 You've probably heard of Epstein Island.
00:15:00.900 He also had a Palm Beach mansion.
00:15:03.960 He presented himself, though, as some kind of philanthropist, just like the helper of all
00:15:10.100 of these people, donated to universities, funding research, as well as hosting intellectual salons
00:15:17.080 on his island where he would fly in scientists to give talks on different topics, such as
00:15:24.600 transhumanism.
00:15:26.200 And y'all, I just, it's too on the nose.
00:15:29.060 It's too on the nose that all of these elites want to talk about transhumanism.
00:15:34.040 We just had this episode about Peter Thiel, and then I saw this really funny bit that
00:15:39.360 Tim Dillon did on Joe Rogan's show, and he was basically, like, about Peter Thiel.
00:15:44.940 Look, you can't have your three interests being, like, autonomous drones for war zones, surveillance
00:15:52.020 technology that we use on our friends and neighbors, and the Antichrist.
00:15:56.320 Like, you can't have all three of those at the same time.
00:15:58.800 Like, you got to pick tennis as your third one, or, like, fishing.
00:16:03.200 But he, Peter Thiel, also very interested in transhumanism.
00:16:06.900 Hmm, it's just strange in all of these people, maybe not Peter Thiel, but certainly in the
00:16:12.540 Bill Gates world, very concerned about overpopulation.
00:16:16.340 It's just a little bit too on the nose, too cartoon villain-ish.
00:16:22.880 Julie Brown said he was interested in all kinds of things involving babies, in how they form
00:16:28.080 intelligence, and eugenics, and gene research, and things like that.
00:16:32.580 Very troubling.
00:16:34.540 So back in the 1990s, Epstein's accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, they also briefly dated,
00:16:40.660 began allegedly recruiting young girls for him.
00:16:45.420 Epstein had helped Maxwell's family financially after her father had raided their family company,
00:16:51.440 including the employee's pension fund.
00:16:53.800 And then he died in a very mysterious way, left the family in financial ruins.
00:17:00.920 There were a lot of rumors, Julie Brown says, at the time that maybe they would get married,
00:17:07.180 but she realized as she got older that she was not going to satisfy him because he wanted
00:17:11.680 younger and younger girls.
00:17:13.220 So apparently she made herself useful in finding him these younger girls and made herself basically
00:17:19.700 irreplaceable.
00:17:20.900 It sounds like from what Julie said that she was really in love with him, really attached
00:17:25.440 to him.
00:17:25.880 And so she kind of put herself in this position that he would need her.
00:17:31.160 The journalist says,
00:17:31.980 A lot of women have come forward, and I speak with the attorneys that represent these women
00:17:35.420 quite often.
00:17:36.620 I was speaking with one who said that he had a client.
00:17:38.960 She was of age, but she was on the younger side, and she was trafficked to a very powerful
00:17:43.520 man by Epstein in Palm Beach.
00:17:46.120 Now, a lot of people think, for whatever reason, that this is all some right-wing QAnon conspiracy.
00:17:51.580 I just want to remind you that this is being reported by the New York Times, not that they
00:17:55.980 are a bastion of credibility.
00:17:58.160 I'm just saying this is not some conservative conspiracy theory going on.
00:18:02.680 In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor in Florida serving 13 months in lenient
00:18:08.100 conditions.
00:18:09.260 Brown said they manipulated and downplayed the scope of his crime.
00:18:14.060 She said it was clear that he had done this, this trafficking, to many, many girls, but
00:18:18.840 was only charged for soliciting one underage girl.
00:18:23.240 And Brown adds that an older girl was chosen so that the crime didn't look as bad.
00:18:28.820 She talks about a lot of the collusion that was going on there between his team and the
00:18:35.620 other actors at play there, the other people involved in this case to make sure that he
00:18:44.040 wasn't charged with everything that he could be charged for.
00:18:46.680 In 2019, however, Epstein was rearrested for sex trafficking, but he then reportedly died
00:18:53.420 by suicide in prison.
00:18:55.440 Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted in 2021.
00:18:57.960 She was sentenced to 20 years.
00:19:00.840 There's also some interesting conversation that people are having about his apparent connection
00:19:06.520 to Israeli intelligence.
00:19:08.520 Now, there is no, you've probably heard this, some people saying that this is a definitive
00:19:12.220 connection.
00:19:12.920 However, there's not really definitive evidence confirming or refuting Epstein's ties to intelligence
00:19:18.960 agencies or Israeli Mossad.
00:19:22.900 Julie Brown said this about that.
00:19:25.100 I don't know.
00:19:25.960 And I don't think anybody really knows except the people in the government that have these
00:19:30.280 files.
00:19:30.760 A secondhand quote attributed to Alex Acosta, claiming he was told to back off Epstein because
00:19:36.100 he was, he, quote, belonged to intelligence, has not been publicly corroborated by Acosta
00:19:41.480 himself, leaving this a significant unresolved question.
00:19:46.740 There were also, there's also some speculation about Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell's father
00:19:54.540 and his connections to Israeli intelligence, but we just don't know.
00:19:58.720 So if anyone tells you that we know absolutely for sure that there's concrete evidence of
00:20:03.120 this, maybe it is somewhere out there, but we don't know it quite yet.
00:20:08.520 All right.
00:20:08.980 Now we have to talk about the elephant in the room here, which is Donald Trump, because
00:20:14.780 you see some people on the left now saying, yes, release the Epstein files when a year
00:20:19.160 ago they were saying that it's a conspiracy theory, and the reason they're saying that
00:20:23.000 is because they think Donald Trump could be involved somehow, that he could be indicted
00:20:30.580 because of his involvement.
00:20:32.680 And of course, they've been looking for any way to put him in jail for a very long time.
00:20:37.800 So we'll get into what Donald Trump's attitude has been about this and some of the informal
00:20:42.960 allegations going on there in just a second.
00:20:45.240 Let me go ahead and pause, tell you about our next sponsor, It's Good Ranchers.
00:20:49.160 Y'all know, we love Good Ranchers.
00:20:50.800 We eat Good Ranchers almost every single night.
00:20:53.320 We love their chicken nuggets.
00:20:54.940 We just emailed them and were like, please send us some more chicken nuggets.
00:20:57.740 We love them so much because they're seed oil free.
00:21:00.780 We know that seed oils can be inflammatory and even the most, the healthiest chicken nugget
00:21:07.080 brand that you can find in the grocery store has got canola oil and all kinds of inflammatory
00:21:11.260 stuff in it.
00:21:12.040 You don't have to worry about that when it comes to Good Ranchers.
00:21:14.980 Plus, you know that it's actually from an American farm or ranch.
00:21:19.280 And that's true of all of their meat.
00:21:20.900 We love their fillets so good.
00:21:22.940 We love their ground beef just because it's so versatile.
00:21:26.020 Our kids love the just baked chicken.
00:21:29.900 So we just take their non-pre-marinated baked or chicken breasts and we put them in the oven.
00:21:35.360 Really simple, really easy, really great way to get protein.
00:21:38.420 And again, we love supporting American farms and ranches.
00:21:41.180 Plus, this is a Christian family-owned company that felt a call by God to provide this service
00:21:48.840 to people like you and me.
00:21:49.840 And I'm so thankful.
00:21:50.780 It makes our lives so much easier, so much more convenient.
00:21:53.240 And again, we get to support American industry.
00:21:55.660 Go to GoodRanchers.com.
00:21:56.980 Use code Allie.

00:22:05.740 So according to Julie Brown to The New York Times, she says there was no evidence right
00:22:16.500 now that Trump was involved in Jeffrey Epstein's businesses or his sex trafficking or his crimes.
00:22:22.480 Now, you may have seen some pictures going around where it looks like they're at the same party
00:22:27.300 or they're hanging out or they're posing for a picture together.
00:22:30.320 And while, of course, that's not a good look, no one wants to be in a picture with him or
00:22:35.380 Harvey Weinstein or anyone that is obviously sketchy.
00:22:39.920 However, Jeffrey Epstein hung out with a lot of really important people, a lot of really
00:22:45.100 rich people.
00:22:45.720 I mean, he was in those circles.
00:22:46.980 That does not mean that they were all his clients or that they all went to his private
00:22:51.480 island or that they had any kind of like serious ties.
00:22:55.620 So it's not evidence enough to say, you know, they were at the same party or even that they
00:23:02.040 were friends for a period of time.
00:23:03.340 Jeffrey Epstein was friends with like every rich and powerful person at the time and probably
00:23:10.100 had all different levels of friendships and relationships with them.
00:23:15.640 In June 2024, Fox News' Rachel Campos Duffy asked Trump if he would declassify the Epstein
00:23:21.520 files, along with the JFK and MLK assassination files during an interview, he said that he
00:23:26.760 would.
00:23:27.200 In September 2024, Trump reiterated his willingness to do this in a podcast with Lex Freeman.
00:23:33.820 However, a couple months ago, July 2025, he kind of reversed course after the DOJ and the
00:23:40.580 FBI released a memo stating that a thorough review of Jeffrey Epstein's files found no evidence
00:23:45.480 of incriminating client lists or blackmail involving prominent individuals.
00:23:49.400 And Trump said this is pretty boring stuff.
00:23:53.040 Here's what he had to say.
00:23:53.960 He sought three.
00:23:54.360 Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?
00:23:57.480 This guy's been talked about for years.
00:23:59.960 You're asking, we have Texas, we have this, we have all of the things.
00:24:04.860 And are people still talking about this guy, this creep?
00:24:08.800 That is unbelievable.
00:24:11.100 It just seems like a desecration.
00:24:13.960 All right.
00:24:15.520 So obviously people had a reaction to what Trump said.
00:24:20.020 So let me give you my take on all of this.
00:24:23.720 The truth is we could spend weeks of episodes talking about Epstein, talking about all of
00:24:30.080 his connections, all of the theories, some very legitimate, some probably less legitimate
00:24:34.940 surrounding him, the true circumstances surrounding his death, the layers of coverup and sexual exploitation
00:24:41.820 and institutional corruption that this story involves.
00:24:45.680 And I'm sure we will be talking more about this in coming years.
00:24:49.600 We should.
00:24:50.700 The reason that I had not gone in depth on this yet is because I was waiting for the pieces
00:24:58.300 to come together.
00:24:59.260 A few years ago, I felt the same way about the whole Russian collusion hoax story.
00:25:05.100 There were so many pieces, so many layers.
00:25:07.880 I wanted to have as much as possible before doing my own deep dive into what was true and
00:25:13.500 what wasn't.
00:25:14.520 But the frustrating thing with this story, with this Epstein story, is that it looks like
00:25:20.640 we're never going to get to the bottom of it.
00:25:23.680 Now, I'm not being pessimistic here.
00:25:26.020 That's just how it feels right now.
00:25:27.760 It feels to many Republican voters like Kabuki Theater, like political posturing.
00:25:33.220 So many people voted for Donald Trump because they saw him as the enemy of political corruption,
00:25:39.160 the outsider who had his own bone to pick, rightfully so, with the Washington establishment.
00:25:45.080 I mean, they tried to impeach him multiple times.
00:25:47.080 They tried to imprison him.
00:25:48.620 They indirectly, I would say, stoked the anger that led to his assassination attempt.
00:25:54.120 They did everything they possibly could to sabotage him.
00:25:57.300 So I think a lot of people saw, OK, he is going to represent our own frustrations with
00:26:03.140 their corruption and trying to subvert the will of the people.
00:26:07.860 And while the corruption in D.C. and in the intelligence agencies is not limited to this
00:26:14.200 Epstein case, many people see Epstein as representative of the corruption because of how incredibly well
00:26:22.800 connected he was to people in power, in politics, in tech, in every sphere of influence around
00:26:28.500 the globe.
00:26:29.600 So the thinking goes, if we get Epstein, we get his client list, we get all of the details
00:26:36.100 of the people that he had blackmail on, and then maybe the chips will start falling.
00:26:41.200 But not only that, people genuinely want to see people held accountable for sex trafficking
00:26:48.820 and pedophilia, especially the powerful people who are doing so, it seems like, in plain sight.
00:26:55.720 And we feel this way, not because we're conspiracy theorists, but because we care about justice.
00:27:01.700 Like, we care about innocent victims, and we don't want people to be able to get away with
00:27:07.460 abuse just because they're rich.
00:27:09.660 These victims were and are image bearers of God.
00:27:12.740 Even if we don't know their names, even if we never hear their voices or see their faces,
00:27:18.020 they matter.
00:27:18.840 Justice for them matters.
00:27:20.660 So that is why people were disappointed in Trump's apparent dismissiveness of this.
00:27:27.240 Now, that said, I believe Trump and Bondi are the right people for their jobs.
00:27:33.800 I mean, I thank God every day that these are the people in charge, especially instead of
00:27:39.400 Kamala Harris and her ilk.
00:27:41.140 Like, I want truth and transparency in this area, and I also want it in every area.
00:27:46.740 So I think that we can advocate to our elected officials that we want justice.
00:27:53.760 We want truth.
00:27:54.380 We don't want political posturing.
00:27:55.980 We don't want these victims to be treated like chess pieces.
00:27:59.600 While we also recognize the incredible improvement of Donald Trump as president versus Joe Biden,
00:28:09.080 when it comes to foreign policy, immigration, religious liberty, the recognition of biological
00:28:14.380 reality, the affirmation of the power of prayer, all of that stuff, they're not minor things.
00:28:21.220 They really matter.
00:28:22.760 However, I believe that some of the changes that Donald Trump, that the DOJ, that the people
00:28:29.000 that he's put in charge are making are so good for the country.
00:28:32.980 I don't even want to think the direction that this country would have been going in had it
00:28:37.980 been for Kamala Harris.
00:28:39.660 So I think we can hold these thoughts in our mind at the same time, because of course, there's
00:28:44.420 never going to be a leader that is perfect.
00:28:46.600 But what I hope, and I don't see Trump doing this to his credit, but what I hope is that
00:28:53.520 when it comes to the Epstein files, that this isn't just a way for any politician, for anyone,
00:29:00.140 any activist to get clicks or to go viral or to create some, you know, I don't know, some
00:29:09.560 burst of enthusiasm.
00:29:11.840 That is not what this is about.
00:29:14.360 This is extremely serious.
00:29:15.680 We should treat this with the gravity that it deserves.
00:29:20.620 And look, I don't have all of the answers.
00:29:23.180 Like I said, we could spend hours and days going into all the different layers of this,
00:29:27.380 but we can pray for those victims.
00:29:30.160 We can pray for justice.
00:29:31.700 We can pray for truth.
00:29:32.920 We can pray for the wisdom and the courage of the people in power for honesty and truth
00:29:37.280 to prevail.
00:29:39.100 This matters.
00:29:40.200 All crime matters, of course.
00:29:41.320 All victims matter, but because of just the prominence of this and how many different spheres
00:29:47.740 it affects, it really matters that this has gotten right.
00:29:51.980 All right.
00:29:52.580 We're going to get into another intense subject in just a second.
00:29:58.380 Let me go ahead and tell you.
00:29:59.620 We've got five awesome sponsors today.
00:30:02.000 So I want to go ahead and tell you about our next one before we get into this next subject,
00:30:06.960 and that is Constitution Wealth.
00:30:10.420 You want to make sure that when you are investing, you are putting your money where your heart is,
00:30:15.680 because true financial peace is not just about having more money.
00:30:19.440 It is about recognizing that everything belongs to God and that we are the stewards of the resources
00:30:25.900 that He has given us.
00:30:27.460 But many Christian investors don't realize that their portfolios actually include companies
00:30:33.060 that are funding causes that directly contradict Scripture.
00:30:37.540 So if we are to be faithful stewards of God's resources, we have both the power and the biblical
00:30:43.100 obligation to ensure our money supports businesses that honor God's principles.
00:30:48.460 That's why I really encourage you to reach out to Constitution Wealth.
00:30:52.720 They understand that true stewardship means more closely aligning your investments with
00:30:58.100 God's word.
00:30:59.420 Unlike a lot of advisors, they can actually specifically screen investments for Christian values.
00:31:06.020 So you can ensure that your money supports businesses that honor biblical truth.
00:31:10.860 What a way to use the money and the gifts that God has given us.

00:31:40.380 All investing involves risk, including the risk of loss.
00:31:43.060 This is a paid endorsement.
00:31:49.940 Okay.
00:31:50.600 If you follow me on Instagram or on X, you know that I am very worked up about this story
00:31:55.580 coming out of Charlotte, this homeless man with several priors who randomly stabbed a
00:32:04.340 young woman on a train to death.
00:32:06.300 And it's not just that that is the story, but it's also, unfortunately, the media silence about
00:32:14.260 this story, the partiality that we see not only in the media because we expect that, right?
00:32:20.460 Like we expect that from the secular world, but that we see from the Christian world when it comes
00:32:24.560 to stories like this.
00:32:26.100 So let me just tell you the details, then we'll get to the response.
00:32:29.220 A homeless man, DeCarlos Brown Jr., with over 14 prior arrests, y'all, stabbed and killed
00:32:35.720 a Ryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, on a Charlotte light rail train on August 22nd,
00:32:43.380 2025.
00:32:44.480 The reason why people are talking about this even more right now is because we just saw
00:32:48.240 the surveillance footage, which is very, very disturbing.
00:32:51.800 It was released on Friday, September 5th, and it shows Brown pulling out a pocket knife,
00:32:58.280 attacking Zarutska, who is unaware.
00:33:00.480 She was just kind of looking at her phone.
00:33:02.840 So she gets on the train.
00:33:04.600 He's already sitting down.
00:33:06.080 She sits right in front of him.
00:33:07.200 She's this like very slight young woman.
00:33:10.720 She takes out her phone.
00:33:11.900 She's scrolling on her phone.
00:33:13.140 And he just kind of looks at her, takes a knife out of his pocket, stands up and starts
00:33:17.400 violently, aggressively, brutally saying.
00:33:21.800 Stabbing her.
00:33:23.020 After the attack, Brown, we see this in the video, Brown left a trail of blood on the train,
00:33:28.580 removed his bloody hoodie, and calmly exited the next station.
00:33:31.500 And everyone that you see in this surveillance footage is just standing there, trying so hard
00:33:35.840 not to do anything.
00:33:36.780 Now, I have so many thoughts about that.
00:33:38.980 On the one hand, like I understand.
00:33:41.020 You're unarmed.
00:33:42.460 He's obviously an insane person with a knife.
00:33:46.180 I say insane, but could just be evil.
00:33:48.580 And you don't you want to go home to see your family.
00:33:52.660 I totally understand that at the same time, seeing all of these men lined up there, standing
00:33:58.620 there in silence when I'm just not sure if that would have happened 25 years ago.
00:34:04.200 I think that they would have tried something.
00:34:06.300 I think that they would have or someone would have been armed 25 years ago and could have,
00:34:12.060 you know, clocked him in the head.
00:34:13.640 Like, you know, that's what should have happened.
00:34:16.500 So he's got convictions dating back to 2014, including a 2014 armed robbery.
00:34:22.980 He, of course, was free when he allegedly committed this murder.
00:34:26.800 We have to say allegedly, even though we have it on tape, because he hasn't been convicted yet.
00:34:31.220 Charlotte's Democratic mayor, Vi Lyles, thanked the media for not sharing the attack video,
00:34:37.140 prompting criticism from Republican leaders like Representative Brad Knot, who condemned her
00:34:41.620 for not addressing the preventable violence.
00:34:43.840 He says the mayor's refusal to condemn senseless, horrific and preventable violence is as telling
00:34:49.680 as it is despicable.
00:34:51.560 Violent criminals, regardless of who they are or what they look like, need to be in jail.
00:34:59.100 In her statement, Mayor Lyles did not mention the victim by name or discuss any specific measures
00:35:05.620 that the Charlotte area transit system or police are taking to address safety and public transit.
00:35:12.100 She focused on the suspect and urged others not to demonize homeless people.
00:35:16.800 She said the suspect appeared to have struggled with mental health and suffered a crisis.
00:35:22.380 She said Charlotte and his transit system are, quote, by and large safe,
00:35:26.600 but the incident highlights the need for stronger support systems.
00:35:30.140 We will never arrest our way out of issues such as homelessness or mental health,
00:35:34.820 right?
00:35:36.480 Mental health disease is just that, a disease like any other that needs to be treated with
00:35:43.020 the same compassion, diligence, and commitment as cancer or heart disease.
00:35:48.720 So basically, this person shouldn't be held responsible for his cold-blooded murder because
00:35:53.420 he apparently was mentally unwell.
00:35:56.960 Well, as you guys know, I wrote a book called Toxic Empathy and how Christians are well-meaning,
00:36:05.320 compassion is used against us, is exploited to convince us that progressive and specifically
00:36:11.640 soft on crime policies are the more loving option.
00:36:15.840 And so I posted this on X in response to this story and in response to what the mayor said.
00:36:22.420 How can empathy be toxic, Allie?
00:36:24.340 Well, you see, this guy was arrested and released a dozen times in the name of social justice and
00:36:30.140 racial equity.
00:36:31.080 Social justice and racial equity policies are born out of empathy for the marginalized.
00:36:36.460 Bad actors convince well-meaning, compassionate Christians that these empathetic, restorative
00:36:42.440 justice measures are the right way to love our neighbors.
00:36:45.660 In this way, the criminal becomes the victim and society becomes chaotic and disordered.
00:36:50.320 We have to be led by truth, order, love, goodness, and virtue, not by empathy.
00:36:57.540 The last chapter of my book, it was a very difficult one to write because there was so much that I
00:37:03.560 could have included in this.
00:37:04.620 But the last chapter of Toxic Empathy is about justice and crime and how when we are led by
00:37:11.680 empathy for the criminal, we end up making policies that really hurt innocent people.
00:37:18.400 The mainstream media outlets have faced accusations of minimal coverage.
00:37:23.820 Even Elon Musk has said something about it.
00:37:26.080 Charlotte City Council candidate Edwin Peacock and others called for action to address safety
00:37:31.100 and crime on the city's public transit system.
00:37:34.800 The murder occurred amid President Trump's renewed push for a crime crackdown.
00:37:38.520 Another thing I'm very thankful for when it comes to President Trump, he did exactly the
00:37:43.340 right thing in Washington, D.C.
00:37:44.580 I don't know how anyone could be against cracking down on crime the way that he is.
00:37:48.840 A Trump advisor said that this Charlotte murder, quote, is exactly what he's talking about.
00:37:53.020 And it's going to be an issue Trump is going to highlight.
00:37:56.540 Good, as he should.
00:37:58.740 Like, as he should, right?
00:38:00.580 We should all want this.
00:38:02.140 We should all want fewer murders.
00:38:05.920 Pierce Morgan commented on this.
00:38:07.760 Why is this disgusting, senseless, unprovoked murder of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee
00:38:12.900 by a man named DeCarlos Brown Jr. on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina, not getting more
00:38:18.760 media attention?
00:38:19.960 Charlie Kirk also says, dear CNN, WAPO, NYT, ABC, NBC, etc.
00:38:26.640 If you want to know why your ratings are in the tank and no one likes you, look no further
00:38:30.140 than this brutal murder.
00:38:32.260 Shame on you.
00:38:33.240 Genuinely, Stephen Miller, who works for the Trump administration, the Democrat Party at
00:38:37.560 every level, judges, politicians, academics, nonprofits, is organized around the defense
00:38:42.060 and protection of the criminal, toxic empathy, the monstrous and the depraved.
00:38:47.240 The more vile the threat, the more vociferously the Democrat Party wants to protect and enable
00:38:53.020 it.
00:38:53.240 And that is so true and so unbelievably disordered.
00:38:58.120 So, the question is, how do we fix this?
00:39:03.940 Well, I've got a few thoughts on that.
00:39:06.620 First, a really simple option.
00:39:09.340 Stop voting for people who hate you.
00:39:11.720 Stop voting for people who advocate for, quote unquote, restorative justice or social justice
00:39:16.960 or racial equity.
00:39:18.400 These are all code words for, I will make sure criminals don't get arrested and if they do,
00:39:23.580 that they'll get out of jail quickly.
00:39:25.200 Stop voting for representatives, mayors, governors, and where it applies, judges and district attorneys
00:39:32.740 who do not believe that crime should be punished harshly, who demonize the police, who wholesale
00:39:38.440 condemn the United States justice system, who believe that we need to even out the racial
00:39:43.880 quotas in our prison system.
00:39:45.680 Those people will always be bad news.
00:39:48.600 They will always make your city less safe.
00:39:51.000 And therefore, more people, when you vote for people like that, more people will be raped,
00:39:57.360 assaulted, stolen from, and murdered.
00:40:00.280 That is not restorative.
00:40:01.760 It is not just.
00:40:02.900 It is not equitable.
00:40:04.500 When you understand that all progressive vocabulary is actually just a euphemism for something really
00:40:11.440 awful, like reproductive health care is a euphemism for murdering babies.
00:40:16.760 Restorative justice is a euphemism for allowing violent criminals on the street to murder you
00:40:23.440 and your elderly mom or your young daughter.
00:40:26.840 You realize that what sounds good when it comes to progressive politicians usually points to evil.
00:40:34.840 Judge policies not by their stated intentions, but by their outcome.
00:40:39.560 If you do that, you will never vote for a progressive again in your life.
00:40:45.240 What do we always say?
00:40:46.460 What have we been saying since at least 2019?
00:40:49.540 Politics matters because policy matters because people matter.
00:40:53.340 Politics affects policy.
00:40:54.480 Policy affects people.
00:40:55.660 And people matter.
00:40:56.740 People matter to God.
00:40:57.740 And therefore, they matter to us.
00:41:01.000 Number two, once you check that one off, stop voting for stupid, evil people.
00:41:05.640 Once we check that one off, support policies that keep dangerous people away from society.
00:41:14.440 Now, one part of this would be a really big undertaking.
00:41:17.740 But for people who are truly mentally unwell, they need institutions that can help them and
00:41:23.500 keep them away from society for as long as it takes.
00:41:26.780 If my tax dollars are going to go toward anything, I'd be happy to have them go toward that.
00:41:32.960 Now, yes, there are civil liberties parameters we need in place there, but surely there is
00:41:38.540 a way we can accomplish this.
00:41:40.900 Also, longer, harsher prison sentences for violent crime and a consistently, speedily applied
00:41:47.000 death penalty for murder and other heinous crimes like child rape.
00:41:51.640 Genesis 9-6 commands the death penalty for murderers.
00:41:55.660 And this role of the government is not just an Old Testament dictate.
00:41:59.400 First of all, it's the Noahic covenant, which is before the establishment of the civilization
00:42:03.300 of Israel, still applies today because its reasoning is rooted in something that is still
00:42:08.780 true today, that we are made in God's image.
00:42:10.940 But it's also reiterated in the New Testament, reemphasized in Romans 13.
00:42:15.440 Again, we can debate what is the threshold that must be reached for the death penalty to
00:42:21.100 be enacted?
00:42:21.800 DNA evidence.
00:42:23.220 Two to three eyewitnesses.
00:42:24.540 I'm open to that, but it should be used much more often than it is and much more quickly.
00:42:30.440 Give a fair trial, unbiased jury, convicted, guilty, a pastor that shares the gospel with
00:42:37.680 him.
00:42:37.940 He has the opportunity to respond to that gospel and then execution.
00:42:41.440 That is justice for these kinds of crimes.
00:42:44.980 That is actually mercy.
00:42:46.660 That is offering the murderer or child rapist far more than he offered his victim.
00:42:53.640 Ecclesiastes 8.11 says this, because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily,
00:43:00.740 the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil.
00:43:06.620 Think about that.
00:43:08.440 Number three.
00:43:09.920 I know this is controversial, but it's true.
00:43:12.860 Number three, stop being afraid to talk about crimes just because of the color of the person
00:43:20.180 that committed them.
00:43:21.620 The facts are the facts.
00:43:23.700 And the fact is this, a white person is statistically far more likely to be killed by a black person
00:43:28.820 than the reverse.
00:43:29.860 Despite the fact that white people make up about 60% of the population and black men make
00:43:34.280 up about 7% of the population.
00:43:36.660 Now, we should never condemn any one race and glorify another race.
00:43:42.360 People are individuals.
00:43:43.840 That is absolutely true.
00:43:46.120 We should never judge people or people groups collectively, but the facts do matter, which
00:43:52.880 is why the opposite collective judgment is also wrong.
00:43:57.840 This is exactly what the media does.
00:44:00.860 Glorifies one race and condemns another.
00:44:03.600 Assumes that one race is guilty and that the other is completely abdicated of any responsibility.
00:44:10.740 This is what progressives do.
00:44:12.080 This is what, unfortunately, many evangelicals do and did during 2020.
00:44:17.720 You see, when George Floyd died, all of your favorite apolitical pastors not only expressed
00:44:22.580 outrage about that publicly, but they connected his death to the complicity of all white people,
00:44:27.780 the racism of all police, and the racial injustice embedded in all of America.
00:44:32.900 But never, ever did or do we see the same people talk about a crime like this.
00:44:37.800 One, because this kind of crime happens too often.
00:44:40.980 If you spend any time on X, you'll actually see that.
00:44:43.640 Also, if you just look at the data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics or FBI crime data,
00:44:48.360 you'll see that.
00:44:49.060 But also because this is not the right type of crime to have a public opinion on.
00:44:54.640 There's a name for that.
00:44:56.480 By the way, it's not justice.
00:44:58.060 It's partiality.
00:44:59.540 Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Proverbs, James all reiterate God's hatred for partiality, showing
00:45:04.120 undue favoritism or condemnation toward one person over the other at the expense of truth and
00:45:09.580 fairness.
00:45:09.980 Now, I'm not arguing that this crime was motivated by race because I don't know.
00:45:15.400 I'm not suggesting that we take to the streets like BLM did and post a white square and convince
00:45:19.960 all companies to pay white people money.
00:45:22.800 I'm just saying that white lives taken by black people matter just as much.
00:45:28.520 They deserve our condemnation just as much.
00:45:31.360 The murderer, by the way, is always the oppressor.
00:45:35.280 No matter what race they are, you're not going to convince me that this guy, just because
00:45:41.700 he was black or just because he was homeless, is also maybe on the side of the oppressed.
00:45:46.940 No, I promise you, God doesn't see it that way.
00:45:50.020 Because God doesn't see it that way, I don't see it that way.
00:45:53.820 Now, of course, last part.
00:45:57.060 At the end of the day, this is a spiritual heart problem.
00:46:00.760 It is for all of us that ultimately Jesus is the answer for.
00:46:05.280 Now, there are political solutions.
00:46:08.240 There are cultural issues at play.
00:46:10.800 But lawlessness and aggression and bitterness and anger are all celebrated on a spiritual
00:46:17.140 moral level today.
00:46:18.100 That's a problem that we live in an age of moral relativism where nothing can be considered
00:46:22.580 objectively bad or sinful or evil.
00:46:25.600 It's all mental health.
00:46:26.940 It's all a trauma response.
00:46:28.680 No, some things are just wrong.
00:46:30.580 Like some things are just evil and they have to be punished.
00:46:33.760 And it is actually righteous and compassionate and loving and good to restrain evil.
00:46:39.280 That is why, a huge reason why the government exists.
00:46:43.240 To restrain evil so that the innocent can flourish.
00:46:46.580 So that they can ride bikes in their neighborhood.
00:46:49.300 They can go on a jog in the early hours of the morning or take public transportation at night.
00:46:53.860 And if you find yourself with more pity for the people committing the heinous crimes, thinking
00:47:00.540 about what they've gone through in their lives more, more than you're thinking of the lives
00:47:07.500 and the people left behind by the victims, then I'm afraid your moral compass is out of whack.
00:47:14.380 Things are disordered.
00:47:15.580 This is what I mean by toxic empathy.
00:47:18.700 It doesn't mean that all empathy is bad, but misdirected or disproportionate or blinding
00:47:24.060 empathy that leads you in three directions.
00:47:26.820 To affirm sin, to validate lies, or support destructive policy.
00:47:32.060 Yes, that is toxic.
00:47:33.860 And that is why Christians are called not to be led by empathy, which is a very strong feeling
00:47:38.740 that can lead you in a good or a bad direction, but to be led by the truth in love.
00:47:43.620 1 Corinthians 13, 6 says that love never rejoices in wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
00:47:50.440 Is there a place for mercy?
00:47:52.880 Is there a place for leniency?
00:47:54.720 Is there a place for understanding people's backgrounds and their struggles to ensure that
00:47:59.280 we are seeing them as image bearers of God with souls that live forever, whether they
00:48:03.600 are the criminal or whether they are the victim?
00:48:06.660 Absolutely.
00:48:07.100 But that does not negate our societal or governmental responsibility to restrain evil for the sake
00:48:13.700 of the weak and the vulnerable.
00:48:16.180 That is a part of seeking justice and loving mercy.
00:48:19.440 It's interesting that that verse in Micah is the one that is repeated over and over again
00:48:25.420 by left-leaning Christians.
00:48:26.800 Look, I see seeking justice and loving mercy as making sure that those who are doing evil
00:48:32.820 are unable to do evil.
00:48:34.920 All right.
00:48:37.180 That's my take on that very sad story.
00:48:39.320 Please pray for this young woman's family.
00:48:43.060 Pray for her loved ones and pray that we have politicians who are courageous enough to do
00:48:49.860 the right thing.
00:48:50.960 All right.
00:48:51.320 We've got one more segment.
00:48:53.900 Less intense.
00:48:55.280 Still important.
00:48:56.160 But less intense than the previous two subjects that we just tackled.
00:49:00.140 But let me tell you about our next sponsor.
00:49:02.060 And that is pre-born.
00:49:03.760 Y'all, if you want to be a part of the life movement, if you want to save babies' lives,
00:49:08.320 put your money where your heart is.
00:49:10.360 Don't just say you're pro-life.
00:49:12.120 Actually help the moms and the babies who need it.
00:49:15.820 Pre-born supplies a network of clinics with the resources and the tools they need to serve
00:49:22.120 pregnant moms in need.
00:49:23.620 One of the amazing things that they do, they give sonogram equipment to these pregnancy centers
00:49:30.000 so that these pregnancy centers then can offer free sonograms to these women who are pregnant
00:49:35.500 and contemplating abortion.
00:49:36.720 We know that when a woman sees and hears her baby on that ultrasound, that she is several times
00:49:42.480 more likely to choose life because she realizes that she's been told a bunch of lies by Planned
00:49:47.460 Parenthood, that this isn't a person, that it's just a clump of cells, that it's basically
00:49:52.060 nothing.
00:49:52.680 It's just tissue.
00:49:54.140 She sees that this is a little person, a part of her with a beating heart, and she chooses life.
00:49:59.440 And pre-born makes sure that these pregnancy centers have all the tools that they need
00:50:02.660 to help this woman not only choose life, but to take care of her baby even after birth.
00:50:08.520 So when you donate just $28 a month, you are covering the cost of a free ultrasound for
00:50:14.860 a pregnant woman in need.
00:50:16.620 Go to preborn.com slash Allie.
00:50:19.360 Donate whatever you can.
00:50:21.260 That's preborn.com slash Allie.
00:50:28.100 Okay.
00:50:28.960 Snoop Doggy Dog, y'all.
00:50:30.280 We're talking about Snoop Dog.
00:50:31.220 Now, I have said before, I've talked about Snoop Dogg before, because I think he's just
00:50:35.600 such a strange, like, cultural zeitgeist, almost like he's everywhere.
00:50:41.820 Like, he hosted the Olympics.
00:50:43.840 And I'm like, okay, but he did a music video a few years ago where he was pretending to
00:50:49.580 assassinate Donald Trump as sitting president.
00:50:51.760 And we've just completely just ignored that and be like, ah, it's just Snoop Dogg.
00:50:55.500 He's friends with Martha Stewart and smokes weed.
00:50:58.200 How harmful could he be?
00:50:59.720 Well, I don't know.
00:51:00.840 He sobered up for a second and he said something that was true and I guess instantly regretted
00:51:05.080 it.
00:51:05.260 He faced backlash after a clip from an August podcast where he criticized children's movies
00:51:10.700 for featuring LGBTQ characters went viral.
00:51:14.120 An apology post appearing to be posted on Snoop's social media surfaced, which his team later
00:51:18.580 stated is fake.
00:51:19.460 Okay.
00:51:19.900 So later stated is fake.
00:51:21.840 I guess he didn't apologize for it.
00:51:23.940 There's a lot of confusion here.
00:51:24.940 But he did actually say this about the new Lightyear movie that he saw with his six-year-old
00:51:31.060 grandson, Sop 4.
00:51:32.120 I took my grandson to see, uh, what was the movie with, uh, Buzz Lightyear?
00:51:38.860 Toy Story?
00:51:39.780 Not that one, but the-
00:51:40.780 Oh, the new, the new Buzz.
00:51:42.380 The Lightyear.
00:51:43.180 I think it was called Lightyear.
00:51:43.680 Yeah, with Kiki Palmer's in that movie.
00:51:45.240 Okay, okay.
00:51:45.600 And she plays like the daughter.
00:51:47.320 So we're watching it and the lady, which is Kiki's mama, they move on into the space
00:51:54.800 years.
00:51:55.160 They move down the line.
00:51:56.080 They're like, man, she had a baby with a woman.
00:52:01.560 Well, my grandson in the middle of the movie, like, Papa Snoop, how'd she have a baby with
00:52:06.140 a woman?
00:52:06.640 She a woman.
00:52:07.820 Oh, I didn't come in for this.
00:52:10.100 I just came to watch the movie.
00:52:11.540 Okay, so I think, you know, minus the, uh, you know, the vulgar language there, he actually
00:52:20.120 represents what a lot of people think.
00:52:22.080 Now, obviously, Christians like you and me, we have a lot, we have much deeper thoughts
00:52:26.900 about that and our problems with it.
00:52:29.120 I don't think that he is probably personally against that.
00:52:32.340 He just doesn't want to have that kind of conversation with a six-year-old grandson when
00:52:35.560 he's just trying to be entertained.
00:52:36.740 And I think that is actually how a lot of parents, left, right, and center feel.
00:52:42.980 And kids are smart, by the way.
00:52:44.520 Like, it's not possible for two women or two men to be able to make a child.
00:52:48.900 So there are a lot of different layers and questions to be asked about that.
00:52:52.660 Kids and their intuition of something's not right, it's really good.
00:52:57.540 And it's actually really sad when adults try to purposely take that away from them or gaslight
00:53:02.780 them.
00:53:03.020 Like, you're crazy for thinking that that's weird or thinking that's different.
00:53:06.160 You have to think that that's good and beautiful.
00:53:08.580 It's really sad.
00:53:09.520 Like, kids deserve clarity.
00:53:11.380 And it's our responsibility to give it to them.
00:53:15.060 So, okay, I guess people were mad about this.
00:53:19.440 Lauren Gunderson responded to this.
00:53:21.780 She's a writer for Lightyear.
00:53:24.340 Responded to Snoop's comments saying, he sucks.
00:53:27.080 She defended the inclusion of a same-sex couple with a child in the movie, saying, as we wrote
00:53:31.000 early versions of what became Lightyear, a key character needed a partner.
00:53:35.120 And it was so natural to write she instead of he.
00:53:37.920 As small as that detail is in the film, I knew the representational effect it could have.
00:53:42.920 None.
00:53:43.880 No positive one.
00:53:45.380 Small line.
00:53:46.200 Big deal.
00:53:46.740 I was elated that they kept it.
00:53:48.340 I'm proud of it.
00:53:49.460 To infinity.
00:53:51.320 That would have been a great time to say and beyond.
00:53:53.860 But you missed that too.
00:53:55.000 Okay, so then people kind of, like, you know, latched on to that and got all mad at Snoop
00:54:02.680 Dogg.
00:54:04.260 Hollywood unlocked Instagram, shared clips of the TMZ interview.
00:54:07.840 Snoop apparently left a comment to apologize and say that he's not perfect and needed to
00:54:13.100 learn.
00:54:13.780 But then his representative said, no, this is not true.
00:54:16.560 But here is the screenshot that was going around, just so you know what was part of the
00:54:19.720 conversation.
00:54:20.260 It looked like he said, I was just caught off guard and had no answer for my grandsons.
00:54:25.020 All my gay friends know what's up.
00:54:26.720 They've been calling me with love.
00:54:28.340 My bad for not knowing the answers for a six-year-old.
00:54:31.480 Teach me how to learn.
00:54:32.840 I'm not perfect.
00:54:33.620 So who knows if that was really him or not.
00:54:36.100 And I hope that it's not, because you don't need to apologize for saying something that's
00:54:42.720 true.
00:54:43.360 You just don't.
00:54:44.220 Especially for someone with as much, like, power and prominence and money as he has.
00:54:49.940 Like, what's the point?
00:54:51.200 And here's my hard pill to swallow for the day.
00:54:53.680 Never apologize to the mob.
00:54:57.280 Don't do it.
00:54:58.280 It'll never be enough.
00:55:00.160 Okay, so say you say something that is true.
00:55:02.840 Especially you, Christian.
00:55:03.920 Say you do something that is true.
00:55:05.140 And all these people come out and condemn you.
00:55:07.900 They call you a bigot.
00:55:08.700 They say that you're going to ruin your business.
00:55:10.900 And you think, this is what a lot of people think.
00:55:12.800 I saw this in 2020.
00:55:13.980 Well, maybe if I just apologize for my tone.
00:55:16.460 Maybe if I just apologize for how I said it or where I said it.
00:55:19.800 Or maybe if I just clarify that I really love people, that I don't hate anyone, then that'll
00:55:25.160 be enough.
00:55:25.840 It's not.
00:55:26.900 The mob smells blood.
00:55:28.500 And they're going to come after you even harder.
00:55:30.760 They're never going to be satiated with your apology.
00:55:33.320 In fact, they're just waiting for you to recant altogether.
00:55:36.640 That is the only action that they are looking for that they will be satisfied with is you
00:55:41.380 recanting and completely repenting according to their definitions and celebrating what you
00:55:49.340 know God calls sin.
00:55:50.180 So don't do it.
00:55:51.160 Don't apologize.
00:55:52.400 Do not answer them.
00:55:53.620 Instead of backing down, you double down.
00:55:56.180 You say, yeah, actually, okay.
00:55:57.640 In response to everyone who is hating me about this, I just want to reiterate that what I
00:56:02.440 said is true.
00:56:03.580 I just want to reiterate that I believe in God's word and I'm not going to apologize for
00:56:08.040 it.
00:56:08.160 When you start apologizing for what God's word objectively says is true, you are casting yourself
00:56:14.040 as nicer and more merciful than God.
00:56:16.000 And that is self-idolatry.
00:56:17.460 Now, if you really did something wrong and it was wrong in accordance with God's word,
00:56:24.740 then of course, an apology or a statement could be necessary.
00:56:29.440 But even then, say it to the right people.
00:56:33.260 You don't have an obligation to say sorry to the people that are looking to sabotage you
00:56:38.900 and are looking for a gotcha.
00:56:40.700 You make sure that you are right before God.
00:56:43.400 And that is what matters at the end of the day.
00:56:46.340 Now, Snoop Dogg, we should pray for.
00:56:48.200 We should pray that if he's not, that he gets right with God because he already has a little
00:56:52.560 inkling that something is wrong about that.
00:56:55.920 So maybe this can be like a launching pad for his exploration into truth.
00:57:00.540 All right.
00:57:00.800 We got one more sponsor for the day before we close out.

00:58:22.420 And I can't talk about what we're going to talk about Wednesday yet because you never
00:58:25.760 know.
00:58:26.140 It could change.
