00:00:00.000 Hey, y'all. Welcome back to the podcast. Thank you so much for listening. Today, we are going
00:00:06.380 to talk about porn stars. Just kidding. Kind of. Not really. We really are going to talk about 0.69
00:00:13.380 porn stars, but we're really going to discuss this kind of uncomfortable but persistently
00:00:20.640 pressing question, which is, how do Christians justify supporting President Trump knowing what 0.90
00:00:27.780 we know about his scandalous past? So should be fun, right? And then at the end, I have a little
00:00:35.160 segment to top it all off. Okay, let's get started.
00:00:48.420 So for those of you who don't know, my name is Allie Stuckey. I am a host at CRTV.com,
00:00:55.160 where I do weekly videos and this podcast. I have a blog called The Conservative Millennial.
00:01:00.760 I speak to colleges and to organizations on the importance of millennial issues and outreach.
00:01:06.420 I am a TV commentator, and I am the host of Relatable, which you are listening to right now.
00:01:12.800 Outside of work, I am a Christian. I'm a millennial. I am a wife. I am a cat person who also has a dog
00:01:21.220 as of recently. Let's see what else about me. Well, speaking of my pets, let's talk about their
00:01:27.420 names for a second. In case you don't know, it's Rachel McAdams, Sweatpants, who was also known as 1.00
00:01:33.240 Cat Damon, and then a dog named Nancy Reagan, whom we call Reagan. So I've got Rachel, Sweatpants,
00:01:40.500 and Reagan. All totally, totally normal pet names. I'm just a totally normal person who just happens to
00:01:46.920 name her pets, two human names, and one article of clothing. So it's totally, totally fine.
00:01:53.040 Let's see. What else about me? Well, I think it's really important to say first and foremost that
00:01:58.740 Chili's Chicken Fingers are probably the most underrated food on the planet, and that's actually
00:02:03.460 not a fact about me. That's just a fact of life that I felt like you needed to know. What else? I
00:02:09.380 hate crafts. I hate them. My kids are going to be getting no help whatsoever from me on their 0.80
00:02:15.880 crafts or their math and science homework, for that matter. And I will neglect helping them with
00:02:21.740 their homework in the name of encouraging independence. That's fully what I plan to do.
00:02:26.920 And you know what? I'm probably going to do the same thing about like throw up and gross things
00:02:31.060 like that. So we'll just have to see how that parenting strategy goes. What else about me? I have
00:02:37.580 really bad handwriting. I wish I did it. I don't know what happened there. I'm not an organized person.
00:02:43.260 I love to read, especially fiction. And I get a lot of eye rolls when I say that. But I am telling
00:02:48.940 you that reading fiction makes you a lot smarter than reading nonfiction does. I'm obsessed with
00:02:53.680 war movies and just kind of like sad and depressing movies in general. I am weirdly obsessed with the
00:02:58.980 80s and 90s. Have no idea why. I am a born and raised Texan. I went to school in South Carolina. I met my
00:03:06.640 husband in Georgia. And we moved back to Texas a year ago. And now here I am delivering your podcast.
00:03:14.380 So without further ado, let us get started. Let us embark on this somewhat dreaded topic that we
00:03:23.680 Christian Trump voters tend to ignore. And that is how do we continue to support President Trump 0.93
00:03:31.560 knowing what we know about his past? Should we just say that none of it matters because it was
00:03:39.220 a long time ago? Should it affect our support of him at all? Should we care? So when I speak about
00:03:46.120 his past, I'm sure most of you know this, you know what I'm referring to. But just in case you don't,
00:03:51.480 I'm talking about one, the Stormy Daniels controversy, as well as what we heard during the campaign,
00:03:57.400 when the Access Hollywood tape leaked, when he said that he frequently grabbed women by the
00:04:02.860 genitalia, and also about the multiple women who have come forward accusing him of sexual assault of
00:04:10.240 some kind. A little rundown on the first controversy I mentioned, Stormy Daniels, whose real name is
00:04:16.840 Stephanie Clifford, is a porn star who allegedly slept with Trump in 2006 while he was married to 1.00
00:04:23.060 Melania. And actually, right after she had given birth to their son, Barron, it recently came out
00:04:28.680 that right before the election, Trump's lawyer created an LLC through which he paid Stormy Daniels
00:04:35.380 $130,000. She also signed a non-disclosure agreement at this time. She has apparently violated this
00:04:44.420 non-disclosure agreement multiple times by talking about her and Trump's affair. And now they're in this
00:04:50.660 legal battle, which I won't even fully get into because that's besides the point. Trump denies
00:04:56.920 that the affair ever happened, of course, but the whole payout through the LLC and the non-disclosure
00:05:02.900 agreement right before the election don't really help that case very much. I mean, we know for sure
00:05:09.040 that they have at least met before because there are pictures of them together from around the time of
00:05:15.100 the alleged affair. In 2011, Stormy Daniels told InTouch magazine about a year-long affair with him
00:05:22.640 back in 2006. But weirdly, we don't really know why the article never ended up being published. Also,
00:05:30.660 a strange thing is, is that in the past few months, she's actually gone back and forth about whether or
00:05:35.320 not it really happened. So we don't know 100% for sure whether or not the affair was real. But even if
00:05:43.860 we don't know for absolute fact, if it happened or not, I don't think any of us, if we are completely
00:05:51.400 honest with ourselves, have a hard time believing that it did. Now, I certainly was not under any
00:05:58.360 impression when I voted for Donald Trump that he was some upstanding monogamous gentleman. We all heard
00:06:05.580 him brag about grabbing women by the P word and basically forcing himself upon them. We all know that he has 0.98
00:06:11.900 multiple female accusers who say he sexually assaulted them in some way. Most of them say he grabbed
00:06:17.520 them, kissed them without their consent. We know all of these things. And no, I know what some of you are
00:06:22.980 probably thinking. We don't necessarily know if any of these things or all of these things are true. They
00:06:28.320 could be totally exaggerated or even possibly made up. We don't we don't know for sure. But let's all be real
00:06:35.460 for just a second. Let's kind of step off or step away from partisanship. Would any of us be surprised
00:06:42.680 if they were true? Like if he wasn't president, the president that we voted for more specifically,
00:06:49.100 and we heard all of these things about reality TV star Donald Trump, would any of us be saying,
00:06:55.360 no, these are just allegations. They're not true at all. No, probably not. We'd probably be saying,
00:07:01.740 OK, that that sounds about right, because that's kind of what partisanship does to you. Now, I know
00:07:08.420 I probably have some angry or frustrated people out there because most people who voted for Trump
00:07:15.020 hate talking about this kind of stuff. They dodge it endlessly and they bring up two things as a response
00:07:21.660 to this conversation. One, they bring up due process and two, they bring up Bill Clinton. Well,
00:07:27.660 my response to that is, number one, this conversation really has nothing to do with due
00:07:32.220 process. We are not in a court of law right now. We are in a court of public opinion. The court of
00:07:38.200 public opinion, unfortunately, is not necessarily innocent until proven guilty. We gather what we
00:07:44.800 know, we put together the facts and we come up with what looks plausible. We're not talking about
00:07:50.440 throwing him into jail. We're talking about what is probably true based on what we know. And number
00:07:56.040 two, we will touch on Bill Clinton and other presidential scandals later, but their guilt
00:08:01.860 doesn't detract from Trump's. So that's simply not a sufficient response by itself for Trump's
00:08:08.880 behavior if we are going to talk about this as Christians from an honest position. And bonus,
00:08:15.180 in case you hadn't heard so far, I voted for Donald Trump. So you just can't say that I am some
00:08:20.800 anti-Trumper who wants to see him fail. That's not going to work here because it's just not true.
00:08:26.800 I am trying to have an open conversation from the perspective of a Christian conservative Trump voter
00:08:33.000 by asking the question, how can I justify what Trump has done as a Christian? And the short answer is,
00:08:41.620 I can't and I won't. I'm not going to. I'm not going to justify them. I actually find no reason to
00:08:48.400 have to pretend like sexual immorality isn't bad when Trump does it or that all of a sudden having
00:08:54.420 affairs and groping women isn't that big of a deal or even talking about it is just not that big of a
00:08:58.840 deal. It's just locker room talk. I'm not going to just skim over that. I'm not going to make excuses.
00:09:03.480 If these things are true, the accusations are horrible. They're sinful. They're wrong. They're
00:09:09.720 inexcusable. I'm not going to say, well, what about JFK and Bill Clinton just because it makes my guy
00:09:16.080 look better. I'm not going to do that. And I actually say this about a lot of things that
00:09:21.180 Trump says and does. I didn't agree with how he handled Charlottesville. I hated when he defended
00:09:27.260 Rob Porter, a guy who worked in the White House who was plausibly accused of domestic violence.
00:09:33.160 I don't like a lot of his communication on Twitter. I know a lot of you guys probably disagree
00:09:37.380 with me on that. But just because I voted for him doesn't mean I have to agree with everything
00:09:43.200 that he does. And I certainly do not have to condone misbehavior because I want to justify
00:09:49.660 my vote. And we shouldn't. It's actually, in my opinion, very embarrassing for Christians 1.00
00:09:55.500 to just ignore or excuse sin to try to make our politics look better. And I certainly don't
00:10:01.440 think that's what we're required to do. Just because you voted for Trump doesn't mean
00:10:08.220 you have to be a Trump apologist. I disagree with Trump's bad behavior and his alleged bad
00:10:15.600 behavior. But for me, the fact of the matter is, in 2016, I had a choice to make. It was
00:10:23.960 Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. And if we want to talk about the morality of the candidates,
00:10:30.060 it's not like Hillary Clinton was or is any more righteous. Her sins are just as bad, but
00:10:36.680 just different than Donald Trump's. Hillary Clinton's are more secret and political rather
00:10:41.260 than public and sexual. Now, a lot of conservatives differ with me on this. They say because both
00:10:48.460 candidates were scumbags, they couldn't vote for either one of them. They wrote someone 1.00
00:10:52.180 in or voted for Jill Stein or something like that. And I actually totally respect that choice.
00:10:56.920 And now, probably more than it did pre-election, that makes logical sense to me. But the way I
00:11:05.080 saw it at the time, and probably the way I would see it again, was that if I voted for anyone other
00:11:11.320 than Trump, I was voting for Hillary Clinton. And I just could not stomach having anything to do
00:11:17.660 with electing someone whose policies would be so opposed to everything I stand for. I mean,
00:11:23.600 how could I have honestly, if she had won, complained about her presidency? How could I have in good
00:11:30.340 conscience gone on TV and talked about how disgusting her policies were if I had something 1.00
00:11:36.360 to do with her winning by not voting for Donald Trump? Hillary Clinton was in no way, no way a more
00:11:44.700 moral choice than Donald Trump, especially considering the fact that I knew she would be an avid supporter
00:11:50.860 of abortion and Planned Parenthood, which admittedly at this point, we still have not defunded.
00:11:55.480 She would be in favor of higher taxes. She'd be anti-gun. She'd be pro-SJW. All of these things 0.99
00:12:02.480 that I adamantly stand against. And I knew that, at least with Donald Trump, he would be much more
00:12:09.060 likely to surround himself with people who know good conservative policy. I knew he would elect a
00:12:15.500 conservative to the Supreme Court, for example. And on those things, we who voted for him were right.
00:12:22.260 The first year of Trump's presidency has been extremely conservative. The greatest accomplishment
00:12:27.580 probably being tax reform, which saves Americans money. He has restrengthened our relationship with
00:12:33.280 Israel. ISIS has been completely obliterated. And like I said, he appointed Neil Gorsuch to
00:12:38.760 the Supreme Court, who is a constitutional originalist. And something I appreciate most about him is that he
00:12:45.780 has gotten rid of this ridiculously sad posture of apology and shame that Obama had when he was
00:12:52.680 president. People who love America lost hope under Obama, that free enterprise, that American
00:12:59.840 exceptionalism, American strength, individual freedom, that these things would ever flourish again.
00:13:05.860 And I think that Trump has brought back a sense of confidence that was sorely missed when Obama was in
00:13:11.600 office. So this is all good. He has done a lot of good things. And I firmly believe that America is
00:13:19.880 much better off right now than it would be if Hillary Clinton were president. And I was pretty darn
00:13:27.340 confident of that fact in 2016 when I voted for him that it would at least be better than if Hillary
00:13:34.780 Clinton were running the show. I knew the country would be more successful, safer. And I knew that
00:13:41.220 Donald Trump, though vastly imperfect, would at least have an administration that would lead us in a
00:13:46.780 better direction than Hillary's would. So for me, the election was not necessarily a morality contest,
00:13:53.660 because if you think about it, if elections are morality contests, we have a huge problem with
00:13:58.900 probably most politicians that we elect. I don't actually think that Donald Trump is any worse of a
00:14:04.960 person than a lot of people who are currently in office on the right and the left. I just think that his
00:14:09.740 celebrity has ousted all of the gross stuff that's in his past, so we know about it. So we made our
00:14:17.520 choice in 2016. And this is the president that we have, flaws and all. We should want him to succeed.
00:14:24.800 We should pray for him, especially that he would truly come to know the Lord if he doesn't already,
00:14:30.220 and that he would repent of sin, and that the Lord would use him to advance his kingdom. We should
00:14:34.780 be praying that about any president and any leader. Now, all of this said, we are not done processing
00:14:42.420 this. Because sure, maybe we can say it's not the person, it's the policies. We can say that we care
00:14:49.140 what an elected official is going to do for us more than we care about their past sins. Fine. But at some
00:14:57.600 point, we have to say that decency matters, right? Like, there has to be a line that we draw that says,
00:15:04.760 okay, if a candidate does this or has done this, I will not vote for him or her. Like, at some point,
00:15:10.760 we have to be able to say this person is too bad for me to be able to vote for them. Like, if OJ Simpson
00:15:16.440 was running on the Republican ticket, we probably wouldn't say that we would vote for him, right? I hope
00:15:23.540 not. Because we have to have some standard of basic decency and morality, even if elections are
00:15:30.420 not, as I said, necessarily a morality contest. I ran into my own cognitive dissonance or what I felt
00:15:40.300 like was cognitive dissonance a few months ago during the special Senate election in Alabama. It
00:15:46.620 was Roy Moore versus Doug Jones. Roy Moore, the Republican with lots of experience, albeit some strange
00:15:53.480 experience, but lots of experience. And Doug Jones, the Democrat who is apparently okay with partial
00:15:59.660 birth abortions. So here we had two candidates, one who would vote in a way that I probably would 0.93
00:16:05.920 have agreed with in the Senate and one who wouldn't. Roy Moore has, like I said, a weird and also
00:16:12.620 theocratic political past that I won't even get into right now. But on the big things policy-wise,
00:16:18.540 I agreed with him a lot more than I agreed with Doug Jones. But I didn't support him. All of these
00:16:25.820 allegations came out that he was fooling around with minors when he was in his 30s. One woman said
00:16:31.820 he assaulted her in a car. Sean Hannity, who you guys know is super Trump and super conservative,
00:16:40.800 he straight up asked him, Roy Moore on his radio show, about pursuing teenagers when he was in his
00:16:49.080 30s. And Roy Moore's answer was something like, oh, that doesn't sound like something I would do.
00:16:56.420 What? So now later, after that really awkward and unconvincing response, he did vehemently deny the
00:17:05.220 allegations and he tried to make it seem like it was the anti-Trump media tearing him down. But with
00:17:11.760 the nature of the allegations paired with his inability at first to fully deny them, it was
00:17:16.880 really hard for me to believe that these things were untrue. So I was against him. Now, I don't live
00:17:22.780 in Alabama, so it's not like I had to vote for him. But I just mean from an opinion standpoint,
00:17:27.400 what I talked about on Twitter and on my blog. And so the question that I have to ask myself
00:17:33.460 is how could I have been against someone whose policies I probably mostly agree with,
00:17:41.440 but whose morality I oppose when I did not apply that same logic to Donald Trump? 0.98
00:17:46.920 Was I just being a giant hypocrite? Was I taking a moral stand against Roy Moore so I could 0.92
00:17:53.720 make a claim on righteousness without actually having to be held accountable since I don't live
00:17:59.060 in Alabama and therefore didn't actually have to make the decision? I don't know. I don't know. I
00:18:05.500 mean, obviously, that's not what I was consciously doing. But when I look back, I do wonder and I've
00:18:12.300 struggled with this. I don't want to be a hypocrite. The whole election of Roy Moore did make me think 0.77
00:18:18.600 about my reasoning behind voting for Donald Trump. I mean, it was easy to get up on my high horse and say
00:18:24.940 what a bad person Roy Moore was or possibly was and how people maybe shouldn't vote for him or should
00:18:31.200 think about not voting for him when I wasn't the one voting. Essentially, I could just point fingers
00:18:37.480 without having to take responsibility. But when it came to actually having to vote for someone in the
00:18:43.460 presidential election in 2016, I did not have the same sense of moral superiority. So again, this
00:18:51.060 question I have to grapple with is when are policies not enough? When does someone's character become
00:18:59.780 a serious determinant in whom I vote for? And another question is what character flaws are deal breakers
00:19:06.760 and which ones aren't? Do I prefer that all of my candidates look like and model their lives after
00:19:15.540 Jesus? Of course. But can and should I expect that? No, not necessarily. So at what point do I say,
00:19:25.500 nope, that is just too much? And honestly, I'm sorry to be like a huge disappointment, but I don't have
00:19:32.520 the perfect answers for these things. That's because they are fairly subjective questions. For Roy Moore,
00:19:38.980 I guess the whole minor thing, the whole messing around with little girls or young girls when he was in his
00:19:45.000 thirties was just too much for me. I guess that's where I drew the line. The idea of an older guy
00:19:49.520 assaulting, possibly assaulting a 14 year old girl. If that is, if it's true, I just couldn't get past
00:19:56.360 that. And Trump's past, though really bad, is unfortunately pretty typical of the whole celebrity
00:20:02.920 billionaire lifestyle of being aggressive with women. Plus, I think that touching young teenagers 0.57
00:20:08.320 probably means you have psychological issues too, whereas Trump's behavior might just have meant that he 1.00
00:20:14.060 was a jerk. And again, I'm not OK with it. But if I'm kind of forced to draw distinctions, I guess 1.00
00:20:20.220 that where that is where it lies for me and his relationship with Stormy Daniels, though, again,
00:20:27.640 if it's true is wrong, I don't think should be used to determine his fitness to be president. Sadly,
00:20:35.780 very sadly, lots of men and women cheat on their spouses. And if sexual purity were our standard for whom
00:20:43.160 we vote for, we would literally probably never vote again. And look, I'm going to admit, and I'm
00:20:50.900 sorry if this makes some of y'all mad, but I'm just being honest, there have been times when I have
00:20:55.380 wondered if I made the right decision about Trump. I mean, there was Charlottesville, there are certain
00:21:00.340 tweets that he puts out, his growing list of allegations that have all been made about him and
00:21:06.980 toward him have all made me kind of question this sometimes. But also, it's very hard for me to see
00:21:14.180 how well the country is doing and honestly say that I'm not glad that I voted for him. People are very
00:21:20.720 likely going to have more money, more opportunities, safer communities, and generally more confidence
00:21:26.520 because Trump won a lot more than if he lost. A conservative agenda is generally being pushed
00:21:33.400 forward. So it's hard for me to say that the good doesn't outweigh the bad. And if the next three
00:21:40.880 years are anything like the first, like, for example, if we defund Planned Parenthood, forget about
00:21:46.120 it. How could I even think of not voting for him again? Things like the future of unborn baby,
00:21:52.900 something I care deeply about, make affairs with porn stars in 2006 seem really trite. It doesn't make
00:22:00.960 the affair okay, but it does make it seem a lot less significant. And of course, yes, we have had
00:22:08.440 presidents throughout our history, Clinton, JFK, for example, who have done bad things while in office
00:22:14.960 and have still managed to leave a pretty impressive legacy. So as you can see, I mean, it's kind of
00:22:22.440 complicated. I don't think as Christians we should ignore morality, but also as Christians,
00:22:27.460 we recognize the fallen nature of every single person and realize when we elect an official,
00:22:32.860 we're not electing a savior. We're electing a human being with very real flaws. So essentially,
00:22:39.640 I think that we have to take it case by case. And even though typically I'm a pretty black and white
00:22:46.320 person, I don't actually think this is black and white. I don't blame people who did vote for Roy
00:22:52.180 more. I also don't blame people who didn't vote for Trump. I mean, I voted for Trump though. And 99%
00:22:59.200 of the time, I am really happy that I did. That doesn't mean I don't disagree with him. That doesn't
00:23:04.260 mean I can't call him out when he does something wrong. And it doesn't mean I have to pretend like
00:23:10.600 he's some saint. All I can do is be honest with myself as honest as possible, knowing how easy it is
00:23:18.580 to slip into hypocrisy in this and to continue to employ wisdom as I am making these kinds of
00:23:26.040 political decisions. So now that I've talked through that with you guys, I think it's important
00:23:32.640 to also point out the two ways Donald Trump's behavior is being deceitfully talked about on the right
00:23:38.740 and on the left. So just a few seconds ago, I mentioned two things. One, calling Trump out when
00:23:45.620 he's wrong. And two, being honest with yourself. Unfortunately, we've got people on both sides of
00:23:52.080 the aisle who seem completely incapable of doing these two things. So you have the Christians on 0.99
00:23:57.460 the right who have somehow, somehow gotten the idea that it is better that they become apologists for
00:24:04.360 Trump rather than preach the gospel. So they neither call out Trump nor are they honest with themselves.
00:24:11.720 And then you have the people on the left who, while they definitely call out Trump,
00:24:16.720 are not honest with themselves. So let's start with the people, Christians specifically on the right, 0.94
00:24:21.880 since I can only speak to what Christians should believe, who refuse to call out Trump when he is 0.86
00:24:27.520 wrong or admit the fact that, hey, having an affair was wrong. Even if we agree that he can still be a
00:24:35.580 good president, even if we think the left is hypocritical by harping on this story,
00:24:39.580 can't we just admit that something like that is gross? Can't we just acknowledge that it is
00:24:45.040 morally wrong? Can't we just admit that he's not perfect? I do not understand the Christians on the 1.00
00:24:51.460 right, including some pastors who insist that President Trump is some godly man that's being
00:24:57.820 persecuted and who is walking with the Lord and is doing his best. Now, I'm not saying that President
00:25:04.360 Trump is not a Christian. I'm not saying that he's not saved. Now, he might be in the early stages of
00:25:10.040 his sanctification, but I am certainly not going to bet any money on the fact that he's not a Christian. 0.59
00:25:16.240 I'm not going to gamble on that. But there are Christians who all of the sudden are completely 1.00
00:25:25.240 gracious and completely apathetic towards Trump's sexcapades, but would have literally lost their 0.81
00:25:32.820 minds if Obama had had the same accusations against him. How do I know? Because these are the 0.94
00:25:39.200 same people causing a ruckus about what Bill Clinton did during and before his presidency.
00:25:45.420 These are the Christians who call out Hollywood for sexual misconduct. But when it comes to Trump,
00:25:49.980 they're like, well, it was 12 years ago. Who cares? No, no, no, no. I don't get that. Again,
00:25:57.060 just because you voted for him doesn't mean you have to lie to yourself and to other people.
00:26:02.140 So you voted for someone who's imperfect. Own it. Struggle with it if you need to. I have.
00:26:07.600 Don't cover it up and justify it. That is exhausting and it's immoral. Now, for the people on the left
00:26:15.300 and in the media who are so unbelievably obsessed with this Stormy Daniels story and with the president's
00:26:24.360 sex life, my question to you is, since when do you care about sexual ethics? Since when do you guys
00:26:33.140 care about victims being hurt? Hillary Clinton silenced her husband's convictors. I didn't hear
00:26:39.140 you bring that up during the election. Bill was actively involved in the campaign and it was said
00:26:44.700 that he would be involved in the presidency. Where was the uproar then? Now, let me be clear about this.
00:26:50.620 This is not an attempt at whataboutism. I'm pretty sure we've already thoroughly addressed our own
00:26:55.760 side. This is pointing out the ridiculous, absurd hypocrisy that is coming from people who have 0.96
00:27:02.540 never cared about fidelity or sexual purity until it involved the president. And now Hollywood, 0.99
00:27:10.400 the media and the left, the constant promulgators of moral relativism and sexual promiscuity
00:27:15.500 are suddenly worried about character when it comes to someone's sex life. Fascinating. I mean,
00:27:22.620 that's really, really amazing. Now, I'm not saying that there should be no reporting on this. I mean,
00:27:29.200 it is news and it's interesting, but is it the most relevant piece of news out there? Is it going to
00:27:36.160 affect people's lives? No. And for anyone who condones sexual immorality, promiscuity,
00:27:44.060 infidelity by promoting moral relativism as the mainstream media does to then turn around and say
00:27:51.100 that Trump isn't fit for office because of his decade ago rendezvous is a little bit absurd.
00:27:58.060 OK, that felt really long, but it actually wasn't that long. It was only like 28 minutes. I think we
00:28:04.600 covered that from a lot of angles. I'm sure there's a lot more to say, but I think that we did a pretty
00:28:08.480 good job. But I'd be really interested to hear your thoughts. I know this is kind of a hotly contested
00:28:13.020 issue, and there are probably lots of ways to think about this. So feel free to send me your
00:28:18.020 thoughts and send me your questions. Allie, A-L-L-I-E, at the conservativemillennialblog.com.
00:28:24.000 Longest email ever. That's Allie at the conservativemillennialblog.com. I did plan to
00:28:31.900 answer a question that I got in an email at the end of this, but really, I decided that because it's
00:28:38.780 such a good question, it was about Christianity and socialism and welfare, I really think that I 0.80
00:28:43.720 should dedicate like an entire podcast to that. So instead of ending the podcast with that, I'm
00:28:50.400 going to end it with something else. And this is a segment that I made up called Things I Don't Get.
00:28:58.400 And really, it's just an opportunity for me to rant about something that I don't understand.
00:29:04.060 If you follow me on Instagram and you watch my stories, you know that there are a lot of things
00:29:09.780 that I don't get that people do. Like, for example, wearing flip flops to the airport or in the
00:29:15.300 airport. If you're not TSA pre-check, I don't get it. People who don't like ranch dressing, I don't get
00:29:20.860 it. Like these are not things that I'm judging you for necessarily, but I literally just don't
00:29:28.400 understand the thinking behind it. So things I don't get. Today, the thing I just don't get is
00:29:34.960 lifestyle bloggers. Now listen, listen, listen, listen, listen. I love following these things. I could
00:29:41.800 literally scroll through their Instagram feeds for days and just be like reduced to a pile, a puddle of
00:29:48.340 inadequacy. But what I'm saying is, I don't understand how they happen, how these people do
00:29:55.060 them. Like, first of all, it seems like their entire lives are in order. Their refrigerators,
00:30:00.740 like what? Like all of their different flavors of LaCroix, like perfectly organized their closets,
00:30:07.400 their rooms, their kids, like even just style bloggers who really started a blog just about
00:30:13.480 fashion seem to also have these amazingly cute homes that are decorated perfectly and their food
00:30:20.020 always looks good and their cocktails are always pretty. And like, I just don't get it because
00:30:24.760 I honestly think even if I tried my absolute hardest to make my life look pretty and perfect,
00:30:32.260 like I could not do it. I mean, first and foremost, I hate pictures of myself and I never look good
00:30:38.180 candid ever. Even when I'm trying to smile, it doesn't look that good. So like not knowing that
00:30:44.860 someone is taking a picture of me or trying to look like it. No. Secondly, I hate brushing my hair
00:30:49.980 and wearing makeup. I hate it. And that kind of seems like it's part of the job description for
00:30:55.080 these things. So I don't think that that part would work out. Thirdly, I don't know who would
00:30:59.420 take my pictures. Like that's one of my biggest questions is like where, who, what, how are these
00:31:07.800 amazingly beautiful and well lit photos taken? And how have I never seen one of these photo shoots in
00:31:17.040 action? Fourthly, I think I'm at number four. I don't really remember. How do you have time to
00:31:23.080 alphabetize your pantry while also taking 672.57 Instagram stories per day? How? And lastly,
00:31:32.600 all of these people seem to be so incredibly like normal, which is definitely why I couldn't do it.
00:31:39.460 Even their pictures that are like, LOL, I'm so weird. Is really just them perfectly made up,
00:31:46.020 like sticking their tongue out or something. And I'm like, girl, you are not weird. You've probably
00:31:50.300 never said or done anything weird in your whole life. And I personally just cannot relate to any of
00:31:56.880 that at all. So anyway, again, I love lifestyle blogs and I genuinely am so freaking impressed by
00:32:06.420 their lives. So if you have a lifestyle blog, I'm not throwing shade. I'm saying I wish I was like you.
00:32:13.260 Like if you could see what I look like right now, oh, you would probably want to help me,
00:32:18.880 which it's fine. Like if you want to reach out to me, if you're a lifestyle blogger,
00:32:21.740 you want to reach out to me and teach me how to have your lifestyle. Please do. I would love your
00:32:25.920 help. I just don't have a clue as to how your life is accomplished and I will never be on your level.
00:32:32.040 So my apologies, but you will forever. And this is to all of you. You will forever be subjected to
00:32:38.540 pictures of my cats, two fried eggs, which I eat like every day and bacon and me looking like a hot
00:32:43.460 mess. Or if you're lucky, making a really unattractive face while talking on television,
00:32:48.800 which apparently I tend to do like every time I talk on television. OK, I think that we're done
00:32:53.300 here. I think that this is enough. Thank you all so much for listening. I hope that you enjoyed it.
00:32:59.120 Please leave me a review if you liked this. If you didn't like this, please don't leave me a review.

00:33:08.820 going to give me five stars, I would rather you not leave me a review. But of course, it's a free
