00:05:17.740 into everything that we are going to discuss today. I didn't have the opportunity to talk about this on

00:05:22.540 Monday. We had pre-recorded Monday's Theology episode. Go back and watch or listen to that because

00:05:28.500 what we talk about in there has more evergreen significance. It's not tied to the news cycle.

00:05:34.320 This show really isn't a news show. We want to give you timeless truth that can encourage you and

00:05:40.700 encourage you to dig deeper into the Word of God. And then we also try to tie it into what is relevant

00:05:47.820 and what's going on in the world when we can. So Wednesday, we are actually going to focus on

00:05:53.180 what is going on. And that is the crazy debate over the halftime show at the Super Bowl. And I'm not

00:06:00.180 just going to rehash everything you've already seen and heard. I want to talk about the debate among

00:06:04.740 Christians and what Christians said they thought about it and what I believe we should think about

00:06:10.280 it. So let's back up a little bit, talk about the context. Maybe you don't know at all. I've talked to

00:06:14.580 several people who did not watch the Super Bowl, didn't know about the controversy at all. So let me just

00:06:19.840 tell you why the person who sang at the Super Bowl was controversial. So NFL announced September

00:06:27.440 2025 that Bad Bunny would perform. Now, Bad Bunny is a Puerto Rican rapper and singer. His songs are

00:06:35.720 exclusively in Spanish. So he's got a lot of popularity in Latin America, but he is very popular

00:06:41.120 all over the world, including in the United States. So it's not completely crazy that he would be chosen

00:06:47.220 to sing at the Super Bowl. But there was a lot of backlash because of this pick, especially from

00:06:54.000 conservatives. And we'll get into why in just a second. That turning point came up with the idea

00:06:59.540 of counter-programming. So kind of like an alternative halftime show, all-American halftime

00:07:05.160 show. And the reason why conservatives demanded, basically wanted an all-American halftime show is

00:07:12.940 because Bad Bunny's past statements and his actions have alluded to what I would call a disdain

00:07:20.940 for the United States and a disdain for American culture. In a Saturday Night Live monologue in

00:07:28.420 October of 2025, just days after he was announced for the Super Bowl, he joked pointedly that the

00:07:35.000 audience should just learn Spanish. Satwan. I'm very excited to be doing the Super Bowl. And I know

00:07:41.520 that people all around the world who love my music are also happy, especialmente todos los latinos.

00:07:50.940 Todos los latinos y las latinas en el mundo entero. Y aquí, en los Estados Unidos, todas las personas

00:07:57.620 que han trabajado para abrir puertas más que un logro mínimo. And if you didn't understand what I just

00:08:07.360 said, you have four months to learn.

00:08:12.340 OK, so a lot of people were outraged about that. Now, obviously, he was joking. This is Saturday

00:08:19.020 Night Live. But at the same time, it was serious. He only sings and mostly speaks in Spanish. But this

00:08:25.100 did highlight a frustration that a lot of people had that, OK, we live in this country where the vast

00:08:31.000 majority of people speak English. Officially, legally, we don't have an official language at all.

00:08:36.340 But obviously, the vast majority of us are English speakers, especially the heart of the demographic

00:08:45.280 that watches professional football. And so why are we having a performer that exclusively sings in

00:08:51.880 Spanish? And as I'll get into, there was a lot of pushback about that complaint, calling it racist,

00:08:58.300 saying that that is hateful towards people who speak Spanish. I would say, no, not at all. It's

00:09:03.620 not that people are saying we can't hear Spanish or else our heads are going to explode. But hey,

00:09:10.120 like, let's at least have a part of this show at this iconic American event be something that we

00:09:17.840 can understand. It wasn't just, though, that he speaks and sings exclusively in Spanish, so people

00:09:24.540 can't really discern what he's saying. It's also that he has shown a lot of anger towards ICE. According

00:09:32.100 to the New York Post, before Bad Bunny was chosen for the Super Bowl, he made a statement about why

00:09:37.980 he was doing no concerts in the United States, despite being very popular in the U.S. He said

00:09:45.380 people from the U.S. could come here to see the show. He's talking about another country. Latinos 1.00

00:09:49.940 and Puerto Ricans of the United States could also travel here or to any part of the world. But there

00:09:54.720 is the issue of, like, effing ICE could be outside my concert. And it's something that we were

00:09:59.840 talking about and very concerned about. So instead of being grateful to America for his popularity

00:10:05.440 and all the opportunity that he had been given, he said that he wasn't actually going to tour in the

00:10:10.940 U.S. because he was scared that ICE would be doing their jobs and deporting people who shouldn't be

00:10:15.880 here in the first place. So that's the level of respect that he has for the U.S. He also said that

00:10:21.960 at the Grammys just the other day. He said, I'm going to say ICE out. We're not savages. We're not

00:10:28.060 animals. We're not aliens. We are humans. And we are Americans. Well, if you're an illegal immigrant 0.93

00:10:35.220 and illegal alien, then you're actually not an American. Just because you are here in a particular 0.83

00:10:42.960 geographical location does not make you a citizen of that country and doesn't give you a right to

00:10:48.440 be here. But he means something different by American than you and I would think when we say

00:10:53.940 American. And we'll get to that in just a second. Let me pause, tell you about our first sponsor

00:10:57.860 for the day. And it's Adele Natural Cosmetics. Adele Natural Cosmetics is a Christian-founded, 0.98

00:11:03.400 family-owned company creating clean, high-end cosmetics and skincare that are made with real

00:11:08.660 care and intention. I can attest to that. I use Adele Natural Cosmetics every day. I love their

00:11:14.380 oil-based cleanser. It has been so good for my skin. It takes all of my makeup off. Even when I'm

00:11:19.680 wearing the heavier studio makeup, I can trust that Adele Natural Cosmetics is going to make sure 0.99

00:11:27.280 that my face is clean but also well-moisturized. Regular sudsy soap actually takes off the skin

00:11:33.960 barrier that your skin needs to be protected and to stay moist. And Adele Natural Cosmetics

00:11:39.580 doesn't do that. When I'm not in the studio, I also wear their moisturizing foundation, their

00:11:45.440 moisturizing blush. I love all of their products and I love this family so much. Make the switch to

00:11:51.180 Adele Natural Cosmetics. You will not regret it. Use promo code ALLY. You'll save 25% on your first

00:11:56.760 purchase. That's adelnaturalcosmetics.com code ALLY. Now, some people might say, well, just because

00:12:07.820 he's criticizing ICE doesn't mean that he hates America. And that is true. You can criticize the

00:12:13.900 policies of any entity or the government and still not be someone who lacks patriotism. However,

00:12:21.940 bad bunny lacks patriotism. Here he is sitting while everyone else is standing up and honoring the

00:12:29.100 American flag.

00:12:30.100 Now, if I had seen that video and he had been standing there with tears in his eyes and his hand

00:12:53.840 over his heart, then I might have thought, okay, that gives me a different perspective

00:12:58.120 on his Super Bowl show and some of his comments. Maybe he really does just think that ICE is out of

00:13:04.860 control, but he has a gratitude to America for giving him so much opportunity. I would still vehemently

00:13:12.240 disagree with him and his position on ICE and deportations and citizenship and the right to be here

00:13:18.640 based on your citizenship status. But I could still say, okay, that is a fellow patriot and I respect

00:13:25.700 that. But seeing that video and then hearing his comments and then seeing some of what I saw in the

00:13:32.200 Super Bowl show, well, that shows me I don't think he's very grateful to America at all. And I think that

00:13:36.640 he sees America as oppressive colonizers of his beloved homeland of Puerto Rico. And we'll get into a

00:13:43.620 little bit more of that in a second. But first, let us also look at another concern that people had

00:13:48.820 about Bad Bunny. He's not just politically left wing when it comes to immigration, but also in his

00:13:55.840 belief about gender. So we'll just put up quickly some of these pictures of Bad Bunny over the years

00:14:01.580 cross-dressing. He likes to dress like a woman, obviously. He's got fake breasts there and not just

00:14:08.000 like any woman, but a scandalous woman. And that is true of all people who identify as transgender. 1.00

00:14:12.640 I'm not saying that he identifies as transgender, but that is something that we see. It's not like, 1.00

00:14:17.240 oh, I'm just going to put on this nice prairie dress. It's always looking like a prostitute, 1.00

00:14:21.480 which is just very strange. That also is a common theme in a lot of his songs. Fluidity of gender

00:14:29.940 and sexuality, but just a lot of hardcore sexual promiscuity. So these are the things that people

00:14:36.820 were concerned about. And so 11 days after Bad Bunny was announced, five days after his learned

00:14:45.100 Spanish directive on SNL, Turning Point announced its all-American halftime show on October 9th.

00:14:52.260 And the headliners were Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Bryce, Gabby Barrett. And those were all

00:14:58.620 announced locked in on February 2nd. All of those are in the country realm. Charlie Kirk Show producer,

00:15:06.240 Andrew Colvett, said that the all-American halftime show is an opportunity for all Americans to enjoy

00:15:11.780 a halftime show with no agenda other than to celebrate faith, family, and freedom. Now we'll

00:15:18.720 get into the actual specific content of that halftime show and what I think we as Christians should think

00:15:25.500 about some of the things that were sung there. But first, let's talk about Bad Bunny and some of

00:15:31.080 what went on during his show. There were some goods, I will say. I know you might think if you

00:15:36.640 follow me on Instagram that I'm just a hater, but I loved and will put up this video that the whole

00:15:42.420 halftime show actually started with a wedding. And the cool thing about this, you've probably seen this,

00:15:47.620 is that a real man and woman actually got legally married at this ceremony, at this performance at

00:15:55.940 the Super Bowl. And there's Lady Gaga right there. So that's great. And you know what? It was a man

00:16:01.080 and a woman who got married, which I think is wonderful. You could even argue that that was

00:16:06.460 like a conservative Christian theme there. And then we look at the other performances and some of the

00:16:14.340 dances. I will say another positive is just that it was theatrically incredible. It was so impressive.

00:16:22.480 I can't even imagine how much effort and work and planning and rehearsal and choreography went

00:16:30.980 into every single aspect. It was obvious that this was a show for the camera. It was not really a show

00:16:36.940 for the people sitting there. You know, we used to just have the basic concerts where you had the

00:16:41.880 singer up on a stage and yeah, you had pyrotechnics and things like that. But it was essentially just a

00:16:46.980 concert for all of the people there at the Super Bowl. This was not that. You would not have been

00:16:51.520 able to see everything that was going on if you were not actually watching and watching the camera

00:16:57.000 actually follow Bad Bunny. So I will say that. Like that was impressive. I think artistically,

00:17:03.480 we can say that Bad Bunny is a talented person, that the dancers there were talented people. But if you

00:17:11.320 look at the images circulating, and I decided that I wasn't going to show any of the images that you see

00:17:16.100 on social media of the kinds of dances that were being done while these songs were being sung,

00:17:21.660 you've got men grinding on each other. You've got a simulation of sexual acts between men,

00:17:28.220 between men and women. It was next level raunchy if you actually look at the couples dancing with each

00:17:36.500 other. And that's not surprising because when you look at the lyrics of Bad Bunny, that is the

00:17:42.080 consistent theme. It's not a man and woman coming together in holy matrimony. It is all kinds of

00:17:48.920 sexual promiscuity and different kinds of sexual acts that we won't even allude to and certainly

00:17:55.580 will not explain. Unrelatable. Now, I will say that in a lot of his songs like

00:18:01.960 Ti Me Pregunto, there was another one, Sapphira. I'm so sorry that my Spanish is a little bit rusty

00:18:09.320 there. A lot of the lyrics were censored out. And so he did not sing every vile lyric that you will

00:18:17.700 see if you look up his set list and you look up the English translation of those lyrics. You will see

00:18:23.640 allusions to all different kinds of depravity, sexual depravity in those songs. He did sing those

00:18:31.180 songs at the Super Bowl. He did not sing every single line. However, there were still references to

00:18:36.740 drugs. There were still references to sex. It's not like these were appropriate songs. I mean, that's

00:18:42.700 why they coordinated with dancing that was simulating sex between people with their clothes on. So it was

00:18:50.780 not appropriate. It wasn't as explicit as it could have been for television. Certainly not family

00:18:57.560 friendly in any way. And then at the end of it, I saw some people, conservatives, saying, oh my gosh,

00:19:02.860 that's so sweet that he said, God bless America. Well, remember back when he made his comments at

00:19:09.080 the Grammys, we are not aliens. We are Americans. What he means by America clearly is the continents of

00:19:19.260 America. So North America and South America. The point he's clearly trying to make is that you,

00:19:25.140 United States, do not have a monopoly on the definition of American. Here's thought three.

00:19:30.860 God bless America, sea Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Perú, Ecuador, Brasil,

00:19:41.080 Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Panamá, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala,

00:19:48.300 México, Cuba, República Dominicana, Jamaica, Isla, Antilla, United States, Canadá, I'm my motherland,

00:19:57.180 my father, Puerto Rico. We continue here.

00:20:02.980 Okay. It doesn't take that much effort to leap to the conclusion that he is trying to make,

00:20:08.340 that all of these people are Americans. Everyone who lives in South America or Mexico or Canada,

00:20:15.000 they're all Americans. And I assume, maybe I'm wrong, that his logic is, who are you to remove

00:20:21.740 these people from the United States? They are also American. But of course, that is a misrepresentation

00:20:29.520 of what the argument is. The United States is its own sovereign country. We are not made up of just

00:20:35.460 continents. That's not what your citizenship is attached to. Trust me, if I go over to Mexico and

00:20:41.140 I say, I want all of the rights and privileges that come with being a citizen or to Brazil or to Chile

00:20:46.620 or to Honduras, that's not going to be honored. Going somewhere and stating, I'm an American too,

00:20:53.940 is not going to hold any water when you go to another country, when you go to another country

00:21:00.620 in the Americas. We are citizens of particular countries that have borders, that we as sovereign

00:21:06.980 nations have a right and responsibility to protect. I believe in Brazil's right and responsibility to do

00:21:14.520 that, just like I believe in Mexico's and Canada's and the United States. Now, people from Puerto Rico,

00:21:22.240 that's part of the United States. And I, you know, a lot of people will assert that you can't be

00:21:31.380 illegal on stolen land. I assume that's also something that he believes. And I've even gotten

00:21:36.600 messages from people saying, well, America took over Puerto Rico, colonized Puerto Rico. Hang on,

00:21:42.640 why do you speak Spanish? Because we weren't there first. The Spanish first took Puerto Rico. And in

00:21:49.440 fact, the entire world is just a history of being conquered and conquering, of colonialism and then

00:21:57.120 resisting colonialism. America is certainly not unique in that. And America gives millions and

00:22:03.200 millions and millions of dollars to Puerto Rico every year. Puerto Rico's got issues. A lot of parts

00:22:09.340 of the United States and parts of the world have issues. I'm not saying it's unique in that.

00:22:13.340 But this idea that United States is an oppressor and that all of these Latin American countries

00:22:17.940 are the oppressed is just not historically accurate. And it doesn't justify this idea that,

00:22:23.100 oh, well, I guess we're all just loosely American. So we don't need ICE and immigration enforcement.

00:22:29.600 Sorry. No. Now, the Washington Post and others thought that this was a very family-friendly

00:22:35.160 message, that it was a pro-America message, that we should invite our kids and our grandmother

00:22:40.180 to watch this celebration of patriotism and just family-friendly relationships. And it's not only

00:22:47.240 the Washington Post. We've also got representatives of Christianity Today and Christianity in America

00:22:53.340 echoing the same thing. We'll get into that in just a second. Let me pause, tell you about our

00:22:57.040 next sponsor. It's Cozy Earth. All right. We love Cozy Earth in our home. We love our Cozy Earth

00:23:02.660 towels. We love our Cozy Earth sheets. We love our Cozy Earth loungewear, our sweatshirts,

00:23:06.800 and our pajamas. We have all of these things from Cozy Earth because they make the softest stuff out

00:23:12.460 there. Their bamboo viscouse is just, it's second to none. And it's luxury and it's temperature

00:23:20.200 regulation, especially when you're trying to get a good night's sleep. What you wear, what you're

00:23:25.040 sleeping on really matters. And I love their bedding too. It's so nice and soft and luxurious,

00:23:30.960 and it looks really good. And it's affordable, especially with my code. If you go to CozyEarth.com,

00:23:37.540 use code RELATABLE for up to 20% off. That's CozyEarth.com, code RELATABLE.

00:23:42.820 Okay. So the Washington Post actually put this out on X. Now, remember everything that I just told you

00:23:54.420 about the gyrating. He gyrates a lot. Like that is just part of like his brand.

00:24:00.900 The sexual acts being simulated, the singing about sexual promiscuity, having girlfriends all over the

00:24:06.700 world and getting high and doing it with each other. Okay. And think of that. And now listen to

00:24:12.340 this analysis from the Washington Post. In general, Bad Bunny Super Bowl, in general, doing a lot of

00:24:18.600 work here. Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show had the kind of wholesome traditional family values that

00:24:23.440 would have fit right in with some of the more sentimental commercials that appear during the

00:24:27.700 game. So the author of this article says, it remained a PG rated affair with about as much dirtiness

00:24:34.580 to the dancing as there was in the 1987 movie Dirty Dancing. Well, yeah, you probably shouldn't

00:24:39.840 watch Dirty Dancing with your kids for sure. The backup dancers were wild and exuberant, 1.00

00:24:44.980 but well short of lurid. Disagree. Same for Bad Bunny, who offered trademark grabs of his crotch.

00:24:50.720 No big deal. While singing about an anaconda and inspired pelvic gyrations. This may be the first

00:24:55.820 time we've seen so-called dwerking on national television, but it was nothing compared with the

00:25:00.700 flipping and flopping we've seen from Bad Bunny's live shows on TikTok. Now, Elmo apparently loved

00:25:08.580 this. The official Elmo account said that bunny was amazing. Elmo thinks he should be called good

00:25:14.340 bunny. Piers Morgan couldn't disagree more, Mr. President. He is referencing Trump. Trump said it

00:25:20.100 was an awful halftime show. Piers Morgan says, I absolutely loved Bad Bunny's halftime show.

00:25:25.000 Amazing. Best in Super Bowl history? Theater and choreography. I wouldn't maybe disagree with that.

00:25:31.760 Great energy. Superbly confident performance and a very welcome unifying message. No, thank you.

00:25:37.580 Oh, and Spanish is first language for 50 million Americans. All right. Here are my thoughts on the

00:25:44.020 different aspects of this. One, his lack of patriotism. I said, call me extreme, but I don't

00:25:48.580 think that people who hate America should be asked to sing in the Super Bowl. This is an iconic

00:25:53.000 American event. Part of it is celebrating America, the freedom that we have, the love that we have

00:25:58.260 for football, which is uniquely American. I think someone who cares about America, who stands for

00:26:03.220 the national anthem, who knows what an American is, that it's not just this combination of a bunch of

00:26:08.680 different countries from different continents, but we're talking about the United States of America

00:26:14.220 and having gratitude and patriotism for the United States, I think should be a prerequisite

00:26:19.220 when we are choosing someone to sing at the Super Bowl. Now, I don't think that we've had someone who

00:26:24.040 feels that way about the United States sing at the Super Bowl in a long time, probably because Jay-Z

00:26:28.740 helps produce the Super Bowl and he is a radical progressive. Also, when it comes to singing a

00:26:35.900 language that the vast majority, I think about 85 percent of the country, does not understand. Again, this is

00:26:42.020 an American event and it was not an accident and it was certainly not arbitrary to choose someone who

00:26:50.180 speaks and sings exclusively Spanish at this American event to try to make the point in a subliminal way

00:26:58.500 that what we are doing with deportations and immigration enforcement is wrong. That was the underlying

00:27:04.600 message of all of this and I think it's a way to shame the key demographic watching professional

00:27:12.100 football into changing their position on immigration, which is just silly. It doesn't really do that and

00:27:20.100 you're not actually serving the audience who is watching. It really is more about making people feel

00:27:25.960 guilty for voting for Trump or agreeing with protecting our borders. So that's what's going on. I didn't

00:27:35.280 like it. It's not about hating Hispanic Americans. It's not about thinking that no one should ever speak

00:27:41.800 Spanish ever. It is about an American event, having someone who speaks English and sings English at least 0.86

00:27:49.760 part of the time. I don't think that's too much to ask and who actually loves America and what she stands

00:27:55.580 for. Now, when it comes to the sexual aspect of this and the explicit nature of his lyrics and the gyrating

00:28:09.760 and the sexual acts being simulated, I would have thought that all of us as Christians could rally around

00:28:18.640 the idea that that's not good, that that's a bad thing, that that's not something that we want our kids

00:28:23.980 watching. It's not something that we should cheer. Maybe you thought that he was good theatrically,

00:28:28.960 but I just thought that all Christians left, right, and center could say, it's probably not a good thing 1.00

00:28:34.260 to be acting in that way, behaving in that way when millions of people are watching. Because we know

00:28:42.240 what the Lord says about sexual immorality. We know that it kills people in their soul. We know that

00:28:50.000 it's bad for the heart and the mind and the eyes, and we don't want that for people. We love our neighbors more

00:28:54.980 than that. I said, doing an entire show at an iconic American event in a language most of the country does not

00:29:02.320 understand as a humiliation ritual. But then Mike Cosper responded with this, which I just thought took it

00:29:09.300 too far. Alternative take, Mike Cosper, who is of Christianity today, America has always been a 0.64

00:29:16.580 melting pot. And once in a while, throwing a bone to our Spanish-speaking neighbors is a kind and loving

00:29:22.240 thing to do. And Christians ought to celebrate it because they appreciate all those neighbors do for

00:29:28.680 them. I mean, there are so many aspects of this that I find condescending. Throwing a bone, we ought to

00:29:35.000 celebrate it because of all that they do for us. Not even just that they're people and fellow Americans

00:29:40.640 and neighbors, but because these Spanish-speaking Americans do things for us, we should throw them a 1.00

00:29:46.720 bone. I thought that was just too far because he's going beyond saying that he disagrees with my

00:29:52.440 statement about the humiliation ritual and into the territory of saying Christians need to celebrate this 0.78

00:29:58.120 because bad bunnies speak Spanish and we know people that speak Spanish too. And so I just

00:30:04.900 replied with some of the lyrics of one of the songs that was sung, a Dominican who was a fresh hottie, 0.95

00:30:11.180 fresh, fresh hottie, the one from Barcelona that came by plane and says that is fire. I can't even

00:30:17.520 say. Now that was bleeped out. That part was censored from the Super Bowl show, but the rest of those

00:30:24.060 lyrics were sung. The sentiment was sung many, many times. And it's hard for me to understand why this

00:30:31.560 person from Christianity today would say we have to celebrate that this particular halftime show in

00:30:37.700 order to love our Hispanic neighbors. We also had people like Phil Vischer. He hosts a podcast. He is

00:30:46.260 anti-Trump Christian, and he also invented VeggieTales. Very thankful to Phil Vischer for the hours that I

00:30:55.940 spent at Christian school on Fridays in elementary school watching VeggieTales. It was a great resource,

00:31:02.140 but unfortunately, Phil Vischer seems to have become very mushy on some things that should be very basic

00:31:07.780 for the Christian. He said the halftime show didn't appear to be degenerate. It was fun. Now he deleted

00:31:15.440 that post. I have yet to see him post something out saying, hey, I got that wrong. And here's why I got

00:31:22.080 that wrong. I would appreciate that. We've all said something that maybe we didn't think all of the

00:31:26.860 way through. But here's the problem with these anti-Trump professing Christians. They are so

00:31:33.200 reflexively against anything that is conservative coded or MAGA coded, like the Turning Point halftime

00:31:42.620 show, and so reflexively supportive of secular progressive culture as a way to kind of like

00:31:48.460 counter-signal conservative evangelicals that they will end up supporting degeneracy in the name of

00:31:56.000 being winsome or in the name of being anti-Trump. And these are the very kinds of people that will

00:32:01.760 accuse people like me or Megan Basham or even Elisa Childers of being blinded by our political ideology

00:32:08.560 or making an idol of politics when in reality, these people seem to view everything through the lens

00:32:15.300 of MAGA versus non-MAGA. Caitlin Francis pointed out on X, she said, don't tell me God doesn't have

00:32:24.460 a sense of humor. The man responsible for iconic VeggieTales, the Bunny song, in which the bunny

00:32:30.840 is code for the idol that all the people are peer pressured into worshiping, is out here defending

00:32:36.560 the Bad Bunny halftime show because it was fun. And you kind of have to know a little VeggieTales lore,

00:32:42.840 but other people were creating this meme. And you'll remember, this is the VeggieTales rendition

00:32:49.740 of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego when Nebuchadnezzar was saying, bow before my golden idol. I could sing

00:32:56.540 you this song, the bunny, the bunny. I could probably keep going. It's just stuck in my memory.

00:33:03.000 But they're pointing out that this is ironic. Like, okay, we've got the bunny that is symbolizing

00:33:10.580 idolatry. And you have the creator of that now seemingly bowing before the idol of Bad Bunny and

00:33:18.000 saying, oh, it's not really that bad. And then you have people like Mike Cosper responding to me

00:33:25.360 pointing out the terrible lyrics of Bad Bunny by saying, now do Kid Rock. So this was the debate

00:33:34.500 that was really waging. Kid Rock or Bad Bunny, who was worse? You've got Turning Point saying that

00:33:40.740 they've got this family-friendly show, but then they have Kid Rock, who is not really a family-friendly

00:33:45.640 guy, singing. And so that debate is kind of what became the flashpoint for the intra-Christian battle

00:33:55.060 that we're having right now. So let me explain what went on with that in just a second. Let me pause,

00:34:00.040 tell you about our next sponsor for the day, and that is We Heart Nutrition. I get all of my

00:34:03.940 supplements from We Heart Nutrition. Right now, I'm taking their immunity. I don't take their

00:34:08.680 immunity supplement every day, but when I'm starting to feel under the weather, which I am right now,

00:34:13.140 I take that immunity that has all of the immune-supporting nutrients that you need to really

00:34:18.520 fight off whatever cold I'm about to get. But usually, I take their prenatals. I take their

00:34:23.420 omega-3s every day, their magnesium, their iron, their probiotic. All of it works so well for my body. 1.00

00:34:35.200 needs. You can get all of your supplements from We Heart Nutrition. And if you don't like it,

00:34:51.820 Okay, I'm not going to lie. When I heard that Kid Rock was playing at Turning Point's show,

00:35:04.440 I was wondering how that was going to work out. Because I don't think of him as kid-friendly,

00:35:11.080 ironically, or family-friendly. I know that he has a history of being very raunchy. He's definitely

00:35:19.300 about the sex, drugs, rock and roll, drinking, and things like that. So I was very surprised when

00:35:27.400 I saw a clip because I was rocking a baby and I wasn't able to watch the entirety of Turning Point's

00:35:33.200 halftime show. But I was surprised when I looked on X and I saw this clip circulating of Kid Rock

00:35:40.980 sharing the gospel, or at least part of the gospel. Here's top four.

00:35:44.180 There's a book that's sitting in your house somewhere that could use some dusting off.

00:35:51.640 There's a man who died for all our sins. Hanging from the cross. You can give your life to Jesus

00:36:01.880 and give you a second chance till you can't. Take it. If you got a chance, take it.

00:36:16.600 Okay, I love that. I loved that message. I love the theme of this song. It's called Till You Can't.

00:36:21.620 And that line is so true that Jesus will give you a second chance. He's got all of this grace to give

00:36:28.600 until you can't, until you take your last breath. And so do it now. And that is a very biblical

00:36:35.280 concept. Today, if you hear his voice, don't turn away from him, but turn toward him. Go toward the

00:36:41.380 Lord and repent. And so I loved that. Now, I also saw people circulating the rest of his performance

00:36:48.720 that happened before that, which was promoting the kinds of degeneracy that Kid Rock has promoted

00:36:56.700 in the past. He sang one of his songs, one of his earliest hits that has lyrics like this.

00:37:02.840 And this is for the questions that don't have any answers. The Midnight Glancers and the Topless

00:37:08.660 Dancers goes on to say for the shots of Jack and the caps of meth for the hookers all tricking out in 1.00

00:37:14.900 Hollywood. So very confusing. And a lot of people rightly pointed out this seems a little bit

00:37:20.420 hypocritical. Now, people also use this to come after people like me and say, this is the person that

00:37:26.600 you're trying to say represents Christianity. It's so hypocritical for you to criticize Bad Bunny.

00:37:31.360 I don't think it's hypocritical for me to criticize Bad Bunny. I'm obviously going to celebrate when

00:37:37.460 the gospel is shared, even if it's by someone whose entire faith journey I don't know, versus just

00:37:43.820 promoting degeneracy. If Bad Bunny had gotten up there and preached the gospel, I would say,

00:37:49.220 okay, it's kind of weird that he was just gyrating in the air and that he's preaching the gospel.

00:37:53.580 But wow, millions of people heard the gospel. I'm really happy about that. I promise.

00:37:57.240 I would have clipped that. I would have put it on my story. I would have put it on X. I would have

00:38:01.780 said, wow, this comes as a surprise. And so at first, I didn't really know what to make of Kid Rock

00:38:07.980 sharing this biblical truth, but also singing about these awful things that obviously I don't approve of.

00:38:14.540 I don't want to promote. I don't want my kids hearing about or watching. But then I saw

00:38:19.240 John Root. He posted this and gave us some context. He said, there seems to be a lot of

00:38:24.340 confusion and backlash, especially from the Christian community, about Kid Rock's performance

00:38:28.560 during Turning Point's All-American Halftime Show. I can clear things up. Kid Rock started his set by

00:38:33.840 performing Ball with the Ball. And I'm told that that is how you say it, which came out in 1999.

00:38:40.640 It's a vulgar song, John says, referencing topless dancers drinking, crooked cops, bastards, etc.

00:38:46.560 Hearing that was a shock to a lot of us, rightfully so. He says, it felt worldly, which I believe was

00:38:52.920 the point. Next, there was an acoustic set with two people playing a Christian hymn. It was meant to be

00:38:57.400 an emotional bridge to what came next. Finally, it transitioned to Kid Rock, his stage name, being

00:39:02.660 introduced back to the stage as Robert Ritchie, his birth name. He then played a revised version of

00:39:08.100 Till You Can't, which included lyrics about Jesus. He also spoke about Jesus's sacrifice on the cross,

00:39:13.660 encouraged people to follow Christ, and to read their Bibles. This was supposed to be an artistic

00:39:18.740 way of portraying a redemption story. He says, I don't know Kid Rock's walk with Christ, but he

00:39:24.560 used this moment to point people to Christ, and I rejoice in that. He references Philippians 1, 15

00:39:29.600 through 18, which I believe by pretense or by truth in an honest way or because of some kind of selfish

00:39:35.720 ambition, we should always praise God when the gospel is preached. That is my take on that. Do I wish that

00:39:42.560 he would have done a different method of trying to portray that apparent redemption arc? Yes,

00:39:49.200 because I guarantee if I had been watching that and he was singing about that, I would have muted

00:39:53.280 it or turned it off, and I probably wouldn't have stayed for the rest of the set. I would have just

00:39:57.620 assumed that's all he's going to sing about. Typical Kid Rock is what would have gone through my mind,

00:40:02.760 and I wouldn't have watched the rest of it. So I think there was probably a way to not seem like

00:40:07.340 you're glorifying that kind of stuff, glorifying that kind of lifestyle and saying, I don't sing about

00:40:11.580 that stuff anymore because Jesus changed me. Like, he captured my heart. This is my new self,

00:40:17.820 and let me just sing about that. People also pointed out that a long time ago, 2001, he had a song that

00:40:24.680 came out called Cool Daddy Cool, where he talks about, and this is a terrible lyric, young ladies,

00:40:29.380 young ladies, I like them underage. Some say that's statutory, but I say it's mandatory. And yes, 1.00

00:40:37.020 that is absolutely awful. I don't think that any Christian should brush over that and say,

00:40:42.260 oh, well, that's not that big of a deal. My only response is, yes, that's terrible. We shouldn't

00:40:47.000 celebrate that. I wish he hadn't sung the bad lyrics, but man, I am so happy that he shared truth

00:40:53.640 about what Jesus can do for a person to millions of people. And by the way, just congrats, turning point.

00:40:58.800 I believe it was overall like 20 million people who were viewing this alternative halftime show.

00:41:04.340 It at least shows proof of concept. Maybe there are some things that they would do differently

00:41:08.760 next year. I would not have called this completely family-friendly. Not only did Kid Rock sing about

00:41:14.260 some of that stuff, but we also had some other singers just singing about beer. I'm like, can we

00:41:19.260 not sing about something else other than beer? But Gabby Barrett, I will say, I mean, there were a lot

00:41:24.440 of good performances. Gabby Barrett, incredible. I had not heard her sing before. So strong, so good.

00:41:30.940 Um, and so, yeah, there was some backlash about this and some questions. Is Kid Rock actually

00:41:36.760 a Christian? I don't know if he's actually a Christian. We looked back at some of the statements

00:41:41.560 that he had made on Joe Rogan, for example, shared some weird stuff, talked about how basically

00:41:46.680 Jesus is everything and everywhere. Um, this is kind of like pantheism or panentheism. And that

00:41:56.500 obviously is not something that is biblically true. Uh, now he also seems to have some understanding

00:42:04.140 though of forgiveness and redemption and change and turning toward the Lord. Now he also mentioned

00:42:10.720 that Paula White, who is President Trump's spiritual advisor is his quote unquote pastor. Now you can go

00:42:16.940 back to Monday's episode to hear what I believe the Bible has to say about female pastors, but also

00:42:23.940 I've done a whole episode on Paula White and that is episode 1137. A few months ago, she is the head

00:42:32.820 of the new faith office there in Trump's administration. And I think that it's bad because

00:42:38.900 I think that she swindles people. And I think that she manipulates people into donating her money with a 1.00

00:42:45.640 spirit or donating money to her with a spiritual premise. And I believe that's wrong. I believe that's

00:42:51.300 wrong. And I believe that she teaches a health and wealth gospel that doesn't align with biblical

00:42:55.920 truth and actually can lead people to a shipwrecked faith because what you win people with is what you

00:43:02.260 win them to. And when they realize that life is still hard, you don't always get health or wealth

00:43:06.760 when you follow Christ, but rather we're called to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Jesus.

00:43:11.520 People can be really disappointed. So I think that she is highly problematic. I'm sure she does a lot of

00:43:16.240 good things, says a lot of good things, and I'm happy about that, but I don't think it's great that

00:43:21.580 this is his spiritual advisor. Now, all of us in the beginning of our faith probably believed things

00:43:25.760 that were not true. We're all going to believe things that are not true until we get to glory

00:43:28.820 because none of us is perfect. I certainly listened to teachers when I first became a Christian that I

00:43:34.120 would not listen to now. And so we don't know his heart, but we can hope that he is on a path

00:43:41.340 of sanctification like the rest of us. Now, there were some posts that I saw on his Instagram that

00:43:47.200 people sent to me from a few months ago. Not good. I would not encourage you to go and look at those

00:43:53.860 and look at those pictures, like pornographic, promoting sexual promiscuity. So again, I don't

00:43:59.880 know where he is in his walk. So I don't really think that this works as a gotcha from the Christianity

00:44:05.560 Today people or anyone out there who thinks that I'm being too harsh about the Super Bowl show. I didn't

00:44:12.200 even make any comment about his artistic ability, although it does sound like he has a good voice. I

00:44:19.480 didn't say that he was a representative of Christianity. I said that he shared some biblical

00:44:23.780 truth that pointed to the gospel, and in that I rejoice. And it really should be that all Christians

00:44:29.920 can at least rally around that. People like Mike Cosper, Phil Vischer, they would call

00:44:35.460 me divisive. But really, I think that all Christians, if we can't rally around basic

00:44:42.020 biblical truth about not glorifying sin and being happy when the gospel is shared, I don't think it's

00:44:48.400 me that's being divisive. And I don't think it's me that's blinded by the culture war. I don't think

00:44:53.340 it's me that's having a hard time seeing things through the lens of scripture. I think that when you

00:44:57.960 are seeing everything through the lens of, ooh, if Trump likes it, then it must be bad, that that's

00:45:04.180 really going to mess with your moral clarity. So let's pray for Kid Rock. Let's also pray for

00:45:10.240 Bad Bunny. The best outcome in all of these situations is that these people come to know

00:45:15.200 the Lord, that they are saved by his grace, that they continue to be sanctified by his grace.

00:45:21.240 All right. There was another controversy within the evangelical world, and that had to do with,

00:45:26.060 yes, Donald Trump and a very unfortunate video that was released on his Truth Social. We'll get into

00:45:33.400 that in just a second. Let me pause, tell you about our next sponsor. That is Alliance Defending

00:45:37.920 Freedom. Alliance Defending Freedom is committed to protecting our religious freedom. Religious freedom

00:45:44.280 is a cornerstone of our nation. I know the people at Alliance Defending Freedom. They are salt of the

00:45:49.740 earth, incredibly skilled attorneys. Kristen Wagner is the CEO of ADF. She is the real deal. She is a strong 0.96

00:45:57.380 Christian, a mom, and she is helping lead the charge all the way up to the Supreme Court to protect our

00:46:07.940 want to be able to play sex-exclusive sports, which is their right. And so they allow us to fight for the

00:46:16.460 rights that the Constitution guarantees us. We need smart attorneys like this in our corner. I'm so thankful

00:46:22.800 for them. I really encourage you to support them. At least stay in the know on what they're doing so

00:46:42.000 Okay, it has been a crazy time within American Christianity. And we've we had ice, we had the Obama video,

00:46:59.220 and then we had Bad Bunny. You got a lot of people angry and specifically angry at Allie Stuckey for the 0.99

00:47:07.200 things that I am saying and not saying. So let me further explain my position on this after I give you

00:47:11.980 some context. So there was this 62 second video that Donald Trump posted on Truth Social last week that

00:47:18.980 primarily focused on allegations of fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Yes, we are still talking about

00:47:24.260 this. At the end of the video published to Trump's account, it shifted to a two second segment of an AI

00:47:30.920 generated video showing former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama with their heads superimposed on the

00:47:38.140 bodies of guerrillas. Now, a senior White House official said that the video had a lot of

00:47:45.140 been posted by a staffer in error rather than Trump himself. It was subsequently removed.

00:47:52.140 So you can see the whole thing. So you can see the whole thing. It shifted to this two second segment of

00:47:55.360 this AI generated video showing former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama with their heads

00:48:00.920 superimposed on the bodies of guerrillas. Now, a senior White House official said that the video had

00:48:08.280 been posted by a staffer in error rather than Trump himself. It was subsequently removed.

00:48:14.440 And then Trump spoke to reporters on Friday about it. Obviously, people were saying this is totally

00:48:21.760 racist. I can't believe that he would post this video with the Obamas as monkeys. And so reporters

00:48:28.060 asked him, what do you think about this? Here's thought seven.

00:48:31.160 At the very least, do you condemn the racist parts of the video?

00:48:35.720 Of course I do.

00:48:37.320 So he says, of course I do. Now, when we first saw this story,

00:48:42.180 all we saw was that Trump had played a video of the Obamas as monkeys. When I first saw this,

00:48:50.260 I saw Russell Moore, who is also the editor emeritus, I think, at Christianity Today. He's

00:48:56.260 a longtime Southern Baptist guy. I thought that Trump had just posted this video of the Obamas

00:49:01.440 as monkeys. And I was like, oh my goodness, what in the world? How awful? And how is he going to

00:49:09.900 explain something like this? And that's what a lot of the posts show you. This is what Russell

00:49:14.040 Moore said. He said, racist, deranged, humiliating to our country. The fact that we have decided to

00:49:18.420 pretend to pretend to this is normal every day is a moral abomination. Have we any shame?

00:49:25.940 And every day, an entire generation is being told it is Christian to support this. God have mercy on

00:49:32.180 us. So many things about that. Number one, he doesn't show that this is clearly a screen recording

00:49:37.600 and that it autoplayed another video. That's what happens when you're watching a video on X.

00:49:42.620 And I assume the same is true for Truth Social. You may not know if you're not on X. If I'm screen

00:49:47.160 recording a video, maybe to post to my Instagram story, and I don't stop it in time, it's going to

00:49:53.760 autoplay to the next video. And if I don't go in there and edit it exactly, then it's going to show

00:50:02.120 the next video as part of the video that I screen recorded. And that is very obviously

00:50:06.860 what happened. That's not even an assumption on my part. There is no, I promise you, even if you

00:50:13.840 think that Donald Trump thinks these things in his brain, like even if you think that secretly he is

00:50:19.740 this anti-Black racist, he would not intentionally put a picture like this on his Truth Social. Even if

00:50:29.160 you want to be completely cynical and just say, oh, it's all about politics for them politically,

00:50:34.520 it doesn't help him to do that. That's not what the rest of the video was about. So you can maintain

00:50:38.860 your belief. I don't share this belief that Trump is a racist and still just be logical and say,

00:50:44.680 it doesn't make sense with the rest of the video that was clearly being screen recorded. But you would

00:50:50.160 think that from Russell Moore's post. And also, it is not true that an entire generation is being told

00:50:56.500 that that is Christian. No one is saying that. You're misrepresenting our argument. Our argument

00:51:01.640 was, and still is, by the way, that Trump is a better alternative to Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden

00:51:07.720 and Kamala Harris. And to that, I say, yes and amen, yes and amen, yes and amen. I do not regret that

00:51:14.120 at all. They would have been, Biden was, but Hillary and Kamala would have been disastrous

00:51:20.820 as presidents. I am thankful considering the alternatives that Donald Trump was president.

00:51:27.520 That does not mean that I think everything he does is morally great. That doesn't mean that I

00:51:31.880 like all of his posts, that I like everything that he says. I've been extremely honest and

00:51:35.960 consistent on that for a very long time. I did not support Donald Trump in the primaries, mostly

00:51:41.860 because I think that these like moral and rhetorical unforced errors really distract us from

00:51:48.840 focusing on policy. He's done a good job, I think, at this administration policy-wise, but it does make

00:51:55.860 it difficult when we are having these kinds of conversations. I still think so much better than

00:52:01.580 the alternatives that we had in the ballot box. And I really don't understand how a Christian could 1.00

00:52:08.140 say, no, the better and the godlier thing to do, the thing that leads to better policies for my neighbor

00:52:13.920 is to vote for Kamala Harris. Maybe you voted third party. Maybe you didn't vote at all.

00:52:17.900 Okay. Like I can kind of understand that. I don't agree with it, but I can understand it.

00:52:22.480 I don't understand voting for someone who is so vehemently through all nine months pro-abortion

00:52:27.340 and anti-pro-life and anti-First Amendment like Kamala Harris. I just don't. Okay. So the argument

00:52:34.880 is not that something like this, a video like this is good. And then you have John Piper, which this

00:52:39.360 makes me sad. It doesn't surprise me that much, but it does. It does make me sad. He quote tweeted,

00:52:44.880 Russell Moore. He said, one, not be so afraid of sounding quasi-woke that one cannot agree with

00:52:50.760 Russell Moore on this. John Piper, listen, I'm going to defend you first, and then I'm going to

00:52:56.180 say something. John Piper is not a progressive. Okay. I've been listening to John Piper for probably

00:53:01.320 10 years. I listened to most episodes of Ask Pastor John, and that has been going on for a long

00:53:08.100 time. He is not a progressive. Like he is very, very clear. He is theologically conservative.

00:53:12.620 He is so solid on the theological issues. I think he does not think through the political

00:53:18.180 and some of the social issues when it comes to these conversations. I think that this is reflexive

00:53:24.080 because he lives in Minneapolis. And I think a lot of conservatives actually look for the opportunity

00:53:29.300 to flag, oh, I'm not political. Oh, I'm both sides. I'm just calling out the leaders in a completely

00:53:35.400 nonpartisan way that they don't take the time to think, but is this true? But is this true?

00:53:42.160 And that is very disappointing because John Piper is a very smart, a brilliant intellectual person

00:53:47.540 that I know is very diligent when it comes to studying God's word. You have to be also diligent

00:53:52.400 in studying and discerning the things that are said on social media.

00:53:57.680 And then we also had a senator, Alabama Senator Katie Britt. She said, 0.61

00:54:01.400 this content was rightfully removed, should have never been posted to begin with, and is not who we

00:54:05.120 are as a nation. I don't necessarily disagree with all of those statements. I think all of those

00:54:09.740 things are true. I don't know if within her statements there is an assumption that Donald

00:54:15.000 Trump did this on purpose and that he was really trying to be racist towards the Obamas.

00:54:21.060 I, again, just don't believe that. I don't believe that it was intentional. And I got a lot of people

00:54:28.800 very angry at me because I don't believe that he did this on purpose and who just wanted me to say,

00:54:35.620 wow, Trump is so bad for posting this. Well, I'm not going to post that. I'm not going to say that

00:54:41.020 unless I think that he did this intentionally. I'll get into more of my points in just a second.

00:54:46.160 Let me tell you about our last sponsor. That is Good Ranchers. Love this family-owned company. We

00:54:50.700 rely on Good Ranchers almost every night in our home. Last night, we had what we typically have.

00:54:56.380 We keep it pretty simple. We had our baked chicken breasts. So good. My kids love the chicken from

00:55:02.880 Good Ranchers. And I love that they are getting this protein from an American farmer ranch.

00:55:07.560 I had the ground beef and I ate that with sweet potato and it was amazing. I love having a freezer

00:55:15.040 full of Good Ranchers meat. It makes sure that we are prepared, that we're getting our protein goals,

00:55:21.020 and also that we are supporting this American industry, which is so important for the American

00:55:25.960 economy. And this year to celebrate America's 250th anniversary, they are donating a portion of

00:55:33.300 their profits to the paralyzed veterans of America. And so if you want to support veterans and support

00:55:40.760 this American company, go to goodranchers.com. You'll save $25 when you use my code Allie. That's

00:55:47.600 goodranchers.com. Code Allie. Okay. So my belief is that of course it's dehumanizing and wrong to

00:55:58.620 depict black people as monkeys. That is an old trope that has been used to demean and justify

00:56:03.780 mistreatment of black people. Now there were all kinds of people in the full video that were depicted

00:56:09.440 as animals that was not caught in Trump's screen recording, but you can go see like the full dumb

00:56:15.120 video. And it depicts all different kinds of politicians as animals. Biden was also depicted

00:56:20.560 as a baboon. And Trump was seen as the lion, the king of the jungle. And so there's no debate about

00:56:27.020 whether this was a dumb video, whether depicting black people as primates is wrong and evil. I do

00:56:33.800 believe that it is. But the debate is over whether this was done on purpose or in error. And I do believe

00:56:39.800 it was in error, not because Trump and his people said that, but because when you watch it, it looks

00:56:46.960 like that. That's exactly how it looks. And so I got called all kinds of names. I got people

00:56:52.220 mad at me for saying that. Why can't you call out Trump? Look, I'm going to call out Trump on the

00:56:58.020 substantive stuff that I think is bad for our country. His support of taxpayer funded IVF,

00:57:05.360 their support of the circulation of the abortion pill, which is killing our fellow image bearers of

00:57:12.760 God, our neighbors, our fellow Americans every single day at a huge, awful, evil scale. And then 0.95

00:57:22.200 also just the wishy-washy stance that he has personally had on abortion. Now, in other ways,

00:57:27.660 I think the Trump administration is extremely pro-life, is extremely pro-procreation, and is pro-baby.

00:57:33.640 And I'm very thankful for the foreign policy that he has put in place that I think in general very

00:57:38.660 much promotes peace, the economic policy that he has put in place that has promoted economic

00:57:44.660 prosperity in a lot of ways. And I will, I don't see me ever, ever regretting voting for Trump over

00:57:53.020 Kamala Harris. I will reiterate, that would have been a disaster. I will never vote for someone like

00:57:58.540 that. And like, if you think that we should have voted differently, if we should have voted for

00:58:06.120 Kamala Harris, you're going to have to give me like the political Christian case for that, because I

00:58:11.080 haven't heard it. And I traffic in a lot of left-wing perspective, including so-called Christian left-wing

00:58:18.080 perspective. And I've never heard a persuasive argument for why we should vote for Kamala Harris.

00:58:23.200 I'll hear out your argument for why you think we shouldn't support Trump, or why you think that

00:58:27.960 we should, you know, vote third party or whatever. But we've got a binary choice at the ballot box,

00:58:35.060 and that's what we've got. And I'm thankful that this was the outcome that we have. Now, some people

00:58:39.760 say, well, you should just hold him accountable. Look, the only way that we can really hold him

00:58:45.100 accountable is by not voting for him. And that's done. We're not going to vote for him for president

00:58:51.100 again. You're not going to get me to promise that I'm not going to vote Republican again. Look, when

00:58:55.120 you've got a party that is chemically castrating kids and butchering kids inside the womb, when you

00:59:00.920 have a party that won't even say at this point that we have a right to enforce our border, you're

00:59:06.000 going to it's going to be a no from me, dog. It's going to be a no from me when you're electing an

00:59:10.440 outright Islamic socialist in the state of New York City. It's going to be no from me. And so we're going to 1.00

00:59:15.920 have to take some unforced errors and some not great tweets that I believe were accidental as

00:59:23.020 an alternative to the absolute degenerate destruction that we see on a wide scale from

00:59:27.400 the Democrat Party. Maybe not every individual Democrat, but Democrats as a whole. So like,

00:59:33.060 that's where we are. We've had the debates about Trump's tweets for many years. He's president.

00:59:37.780 He's not going anywhere. He's not going to resign. He's not going to be impeached. We should call him

00:59:41.720 out when we can. We should push him in the direction of righteousness when we can. But at the

00:59:46.360 end of the day, this is who we got for three more, three more years. We can make a different

00:59:52.020 choice next time. All right. That's all we've got time for today. And before we go, just another
