Episode Date: October 15, 2024

Today, we talk about the Hands Off My Porn campaign and pornographers going all in for Kamala Harris and the evil consequences this has for child safety. We also discuss Maverick City Music collaborating with rapper GloRilla to make a worship song on her new album — a worship song that is, of course, surrounded by other excessively vulgar songs and collaborations with rappers like Megan Thee Stallion and Sexyy Red. And you won't believe what Bill Clinton said about illegal immigration while speaking at a Harris campaign event.

Christian group Maverick City Music is on a rap album that includes other rappers like Megan the Stallion and Sexy Red. They're receiving criticism for this and I've got my take. Also, the pornography industry is going all in for Kamala Harris. And Bill Clinton actually said something true about immigration. We've got all this. Plus, my book, Toxic Empathy is out today. And we will discuss that on this episode of Relatable. It's brought to you by our friends.

at Good Ranchers. Go to GoodRangers.com slash Alley. Good Ranchers.com slash Alley. Hey guys, welcome to relatable. Happy Tuesday. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far. It is launch day for toxic empathy. And I just want to say thank you already to those of you who have been praying, who have been encouraging, who have been supporting, who pre-ordered the book. I am so grateful to all of you. I always say that I have the best audience in the world. And it's because I do. I got to meet so many of you at Share the Arrows, and I got to see your kindness, your generosity, your gentleness, your goodness, up close and personal. And I'm just reminded so often that you guys are the best.

You're just the best salt of the earth people. And I'm very grateful for you. If you haven't purchased my book, Toxic Empathy, How Progressives Exploite Christian Compassion, I really encourage you to do so. You can purchase through Amazon and you'll be able to get it really quickly. It's also available on a Kindle version or if you are like me in this season of my life and you listen to books, I read the audible version. So it's available on all of those different platforms. And we go through the five biggest lies of progressivism that are, believe it or not, extremely persuasive to a lot of people, especially those who identify as Christians, and in particular

Christian women. And those lies are abortion is health care. Transwomen are women. Love is love. No human is illegal. Social justice is justice. And you know, I've been posting on X for the past couple days just about the book encouraging people to get it. And one of my posts, I guess, got on the wrong side of X, on the progressive side of X, and they're very, very angry about what they have no idea about when it comes to the content of this book. These are people telling me that this book is anti-Jesus, that it's anti-biblical, that it is dangerous, fascist, theocratic, nonsense, and that I should read the Bible, that I should get to know Jesus, because as I saw someone say, very poignantly in one of my replies, Jesus was woke as F, expletive. And, you know, the quote tweets

from people who claim that, of course, I and other conservative Christians are on the side of cruelty and meanness are telling me some interesting things about myself. I had one reply that said that I should be sent to a re-education camp. I had another reply that told me that I am just adding this to the Christian library of lies. Many people telling me to go F myself simply because of the title of this book. And they're very angry about the last two lies that I point out that no human is illegal and social justice is justice. many of these who claim to be progressive Christians or progressive secularists who claim to know more about Christianity than Christians do say that these are core tenets of Christian doctrine. And I had one

person reply and say, you know, what do you mean by these things? These are so important to Christianity. And I said, you know, you can read the book and find out, which made a lot of people angry. So understand that progressives don't want people to read this book. The title alone makes them angry, which wasn't my intention, but I could see when you worship on the altar of the god of self and you have claimed that empathy simply feeling what someone feels is the highest virtue that this can feel like blasphemy to you. But it's actually not about discounting or negating love and compassion. It's finding true love and compassion. It's analyzing what does compassion actually look like, not just outsourcing our compassion to the government,

not just tweeting about social justice causes, not just saying these catchy circular mantras, which sound good, but are ultimately very harmful when it comes to the policies that they encourage and advocate for. But what does love truly look like? What? What does real compassion, real kindness truly look like, not just personally, but also in the policies that we support? That's what this book is about. A lot of people seem to be very confused. They are conflating empathy and the love to which Christians are called. But as we've said many times, true love is inextricably intertwined with the truth.

1 Corinthians 136 makes that very clear that love never rejoices in wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth 1. John 4-8 says that God is love and because of that he gets to say what it is and what it isn't. He gets to define it for us. He gets to define all things for us because as Genesis 1-1 tells us he is the creator of all things. Therefore he is the authority over all things. So we get to go to him to tell us what's right, what's wrong, what's good, what's bad, what's true, what's false. I'm certainly not the arbiter of those things, but I am doing my best as a Christian, as a mom, as a woman navigating the craziness and chaos of our culture to find clarity in factual, observable reality, in logical truth, in history, but most importantly in God's Word.

and that's what this book is about. These are five very complex, very controversial subjects, and I break it down in a way that is very easy to understand, at least I hope, and it's not a terribly long book. It took a long time to write because actually condensing so much information and simplifying a lot of complex information takes a lot of time and takes a lot of effort. But that was really important for me because I knew you'd be getting it only a couple weeks before the election, and I wanted you to be able to read it in time to have the conversations that matter. As we talked about yesterday, there are tens of millions of Christians who are not planning to vote in this election because they don't realize what's at stake. They don't realize their responsibility as Christians, that they're not

supposed to be looking for a perfect candidate, that we are voting for the party or we're voting for the person whose platform and set of policy prescriptions will best mitigate evil. That is a way to love our neighbor. And even though this book isn't only about policy, it's not just about this election. This really informs people and is meant to inform Christians about the issues that are at stake that really affect predominantly disproportionately children. And actually, I was just reminded of a part in this. conclusion where I talk about this, that Satan has really always had it out for kids.

And that's really where we are, where Christians were in ancient Rome 2,000 years ago, seeing infants die by abortion, infanticide, exposure, seeing them sexually objectified, seeing all kinds of people other than the adult free male really dehumanized, Degeneracy, gender confusion. That's the culture that Christians walked into with a radical new way of seeing the Amago Day, seeing human beings, and seeing morality. But here's one part of my conclusion. And really the conclusion is the most important part of the book, because this is where we lay out the gospel as clearly as possible. But here's just one paragraph. Satan seems to have it out for children. They're always the most vulnerable prey to Satan's schemes.

mentally and physically less developed than adults, children don't have the tools to defend themselves against the more powerful. They are easily moldable for better and for worse. Parents are to offer spiritual, mental, and physical protection to their children, while Satan and his cohorts will always seek their spiritual, mental, and physical destruction. And then I go through really the history of how the world has treated children and how Christians have provided their refuge. And here is really the best news of all. And all of this craziness, in all of this desperation and destitution that we see, it seems like on an everyday basis, it's just so overwhelming. This is the best news and this is the end of the book.

Here's the good news, the best news of all. One day, toxic empathy won't exist. We won't have to worry about it because there will be no one to manipulate us and nothing to be manipulated by. There will be no more debates, no more politics. There will be no more abortion, no more gender confusion or perversion. There will be no more sexual immorality. There will be no more migration, no asylum seeking, or fleeing for refuge. No more danger or enemies or economic needs. There will be no more injustice, murder, or oppression. All the wretched, bloody, brokenness, humanity has endured since Adam and Eve took that fateful bite of the forbidden fruit will come to an end. We will once again walk in unhindered communion with our creator sorrow sickness and sin will be no more because jesus wins at the end of this mess

jesus comes in on a white horse and avenges innocent blood he destroys the enemy once and for all the serpent's head will be crushed in all god's children all those who have been made alive in christ by grace through faith will live with him in perfect joy forever and if nothing else comes out of this book, if there is no other message received or that resonates, I hope that does. And if it's just one person who hears that or understands it for the first time, and that's not my articulation, that's just the gospel, that's just the word of God, then all the unfair criticism will be worth it. We have a segment in this book about receiving unfair criticism because if you echo what is said in this book, you will not only get criticism, but people will malign you. They will slander you. You will feel the sting of rejection.

And I just want to remind you that all of that, no matter how small in comparison to big, bloody persecution that is being endured by Christians around the world, that all of that counts, that is still creating for us, contributing to, for us, a far greater glory that outweighs all of the trials and the pushback that we are enduring today. And it's just a reminder, too, to not judge your obedience, your faithfulness by other people's reaction to you. Remember, Jesus was full of grace and power. He was full of grace and truth.

He exemplified love and kindness. What was his fate? Stephen, the great evangelist, simply shared the gospel to the audience before him. What was his fate? Of course, Jesus was crucified. Stephen was stoned to death. Why do we expect to be treated better when we are also sharing inconvenient and uncomfortable truth to those who are following the spirit of this age? The prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sun's.

of disobedience, Ephesians 2 says. So we should expect at least some pushback, no matter how nice we are. And it is all worth it. It is all worth it. So please go out and purchase toxic empathy if you haven't already. And if you have purchased it, if you love the book, something that really, really helps the book. And also really gets to those trolls is if you go on Amazon and you leave me a five-star review. So please, It doesn't have to be long. It doesn't have to be thorough. It's great if it is.

But if you can please go on Amazon and leave me a five-star review, that would mean so much to me. Again, thank you all so much. Share this with your friends. Buy a copy for your friends.

Before we get into our stories for today, let me pause and tell you about our first sponsor, and it's Adele Natural Cosmetics. This is an unapologetically pro-life, pro-Jesus company. They're very outspoken about their faith, which if you know anything about the cosmetic industry, it can be very dark. They're very pro-abortion. They're very pro-gender confusion. Not Adele Natural Cosmetics.

And the great thing about it is they're not just amazing when it comes to their values. It's also about the ingredients that they put in every product they operate in integrity in every way. I love their products because they're all natural, completely holistic. You don't have any fake fragrances, any of the paribins, the toxic stuff that unfortunately you get in a lot of other products, cosmetic products. This is true about their makeup. It's also true about their skincare. I use their skincare every day. Their oil-based cleanser, I swear by it.

It has changed the texture of my skin has made my skin so soft, so moisturized. I tend to have dry skin. And so I use their oil-based cleanser, their essential cleanser. I also use their essential moisturizing spray. I love their stuff so much. Go to adele natural cosmetics.com. Use code Alley for 25% off your first time purchase. Adelnaturalcosmetics.com code Alley. Okay. A lot of you are probably fans of Maverick City. music. This is an extremely popular Christian band. They've been around for a few years now. They've won lots of awards and for good a reason. They are incredibly talented. And I am a fan of a lot of their songs. Like their song promises it is so good. I listen to it almost on a daily basis.

They are fantastic when it comes to just the vocal talent they're bringing, the songwriting talent they're bringing their amazing performers and they have just skyrocketed in fame over the last few years. But they have also received a lot of criticism, both for some of the members' left-wing political stances that they've been pretty outspoken about, as well as what seems like compromising with the world. And so I'll let you be the judge. You can decide if you think that this is compromise or if this is just them getting more of their Christian, music out there. Right now, the criticism is surrounding their partnership with Glowrilla. This is a female rapper. She's got a rap debut album that features Christian artists. She herself calls herself a

Christian, and some of the lyrics that she has on this album are kind of Christian, or at least they talk about God. And then some other lyrics are extremely explicit. And so I'll read you of some of those without, you know, the explicit language. So this is called Glorious. This is the debut album. It dropped on Friday, October 11th. Christians were shocked to see the collaboration with gospel musicians sandwiched between other tracks with explicit lyrics. And I'm talking about Kirk Franklin and Maverick City music, Kiera Shirt, Chandler Moore. Chandler Moore is a member of Maverick City music. Other songs on her album include collaborations with artists like Megan the Stallion. I couldn't tell you one of Megan the Stallion songs. Do you know one of Megan the Stallion songs,

Bree? I'm sure I would know it like if I heard it, but I could not name you one though. Okay. She, I feel like maybe she did something with Cardi B. Probably. Did she do Wop? Oh. Was that her? Oh, you know what? Literally the only reason. I camera man says what yes okay okay the only reason I know about the song Wop is literally because of Ben Shapiro do you remember all that how he's how he said his lyrics on his show one of the best one of the best moments so she did Wop with Cardi B so she is on this album with Glorilla and she also sang I think at the Atlanta Kamala Harris rally a few months ago, like right after Kamala Harris announced that she was running. I'm pretty sure it was like a whole twerking fest in Atlanta with Megan the Stallion. I'm pretty sure that's correct. So you've got her on this album.

You've also got sexy red. The first time I saw sexy red, like circulated on X, I thought this is not real. This is a joke. Someone is making fun of rap. But no, this is real. she rose to prominence with a release of her explicit 2023 single pound town. Just going to allow for a pause there. Glorilla, whose real name is Gloria Hallelujah Woods,

goes by Glorilla Pimp on social media. We've got a picture of that, I believe. Her social media name. Okay, that's her. Got it. She is a native of Memphis, Tennessee. She grew up in a Christian home. She sang in the church choir.

She was homeschooled until high school. That's an interesting background. On the Tamarin Hall show earlier this year, the rapper said she initially planned to become a gospel singer and that she and her mother pray for each other. I always have to put God first and whatever. I do and not let too much negativity get to me. She shared with Hall that she still holds her faith close to her,

even if her music might not seem that way. Well, that's sad because God has obviously given her a talent and she had this wonderful privilege of being raised in a Christian home and going to church. A lot of people don't have parents that bring them to church and teach them about the word of God. And so she has now decided not to use the talent that God has given her for his glory but for her own. And here's what I mean by. that. Here are some examples of the lyrics of the songs that are on this album alongside some Christian singer collaborators. There's a song called H-L-on. I think it's like hold on, but it's all one word, H-O-L-L-O-N. So I'm just going to read you some things. I won't say the actual cuss words, but even the non-cust words are not really that are not great. Here's one of her songs. Ho, you must not know what you just started. F word. Me and my B words, go gnarly. Give a F about this party. We can step on S regardless.

Get my goons, swipe that B, and now dispute the charges on gang. B. B is laughing. This is a song with sexy red, what you know about me. It's glow the MFNP. Y'all know what the F and P. Y'all know what the F going. on and then there's the N-word. I can't even say this. I can't even say the next part because it's not cuss words. This song is probably catchy. It's giving hair, face, and then how could I even say that? Two private parts that I cannot say.

And then the other song, so she just says that over and over again with sex. you read. And then the another song, how I look with Megan the Stallion. How I look Fing on an inward that got less than me. How I look calling B words that can't get next to me. How I look checking for it inward that don't check for me. How I look not betting on myself, glow the recipe. Okay. So I know that some of you are going to be like, why did you even need to read any of that? I think it's important for you to know what I'm talking about when I say how crazy it is that there are Christians on this album. Because I know some of you out there and be like, don't be judgmental. They're just, you know, they're just collaborating, trying to maybe bring

her and her listeners closer to God. And I hope to the Lord that happens. Truly I do. But I mean, what association does light have with darkness? I'm just not sure that an actual collaboration is the way to share the gospel with her and her listeners. You could actually just share the gospel with her and her listeners. It does seem like, it seems like, and maybe this is not what they meant to do. So I would love to give the benefit of the doubt, but it almost does seem like an endorsement of the album when you are a part of this. I mean, you had to know, kind of, you had to know sexy Red and Megan the Stallion are going to be on this album, and you know what they sing about. It's not the gospel.

So here's one of the songs that's with Maverick City music called Rain Down on Me. And it said, feeling like I'm God's favorite. And that's the best feeling ever. Rain down on me, Father God, I won't use an umbrella. Forgive the ones who play with me. Apparently they don't know better. See, even this is very narcissistic. It's extremely narcissistic process.

prosperity gospel theology. So it's not even right to say, well, at least like there's one solid gospel song on there. And that's great. People can understand the gospel. This is not the gospel. This is called Narcjegesis. And this is when you look at the Bible and look at theology and only see yourself. It's hard to talk about my blessings. They be saying I'm acting cocky. Watch over my family, Lord. And watch over all my partners. And even though he hate me, Lord, watch over my baby father. Watch over my haters. They the ones that make me go the hardest.

Okay. Protect me from the evil that I can't see with my eyes. And if it's any blessing blockers around me, help me cut them ties in Jesus' name. See, this is very sad because this is treating Jesus. The God of the universe is a genie that just does what you want him to do. that is there to grant your wishes and to give you prosperity and to shower your life with blessings, even though at least according to the other songs that are on there, you are not

living in accordance with His Word. And that's not to say that he doesn't love you, that he doesn't want good things for you, but because he loves you and because he wants good things for you, he doesn't want you to live a life of sexual degeneracy. He doesn't want you to be giving your body to people who aren't your husband. He doesn't want you to be promoting this promiscuity, which really hurts you and hurts relationships, hurts your body, hurts your heart, hurts your soul, hurts your mind. Obviously has a negative impact on your child. I mean, your child who has a father who hates his mother, I mean, so much would be solved. I was asked the other day, like, if you could change one thing,

that's going on in the world, if you would solve one problem, what would it be? And I said, people having sex before marriage. If people just stopped having sex outside of marriage, so many of our problems would end overnight. And any album, I don't care if it's a country album, if it's a rap album, if it's a pop album, I don't care if it's Taylor Swift. I don't care if it's Glorilla. Any album that is promoting this kind of degeneracy and darkness is sad. And it's not something that we should support. And we should not give a pass to people just because it's rap. Just as we shouldn't give a pass to people just because it's Taylor Swift. And I know I'm going to get people out there saying that this is racist to even talk about. Okay, you can go back and you can

watch my Taylor Swift episodes where I criticize her lyrics. And also, I got a kick out of reading some of her silly lyrics out loud too. No, the truth is that actually I think a lot of Christians don't treat black people or black people who say that they're Christians as full people in the sense that they don't think that they have the same responsibility or the same agency, the same ability to repent of their sins and to follow the Word of God as other Christians do. It's like the standard is lower or the gospel is different or repentant and holiness isn't as necessary. And that's not good. Like that really does people a disservice.

The truth is all people, no matter your culture, no matter your skin color, no matter your class, no matter your background. If you are a Christian, we are all called to the same self-denial to take up our cross, to follow Christ, to treat our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit, and to act and speak and sing in a way that glorifies him. That doesn't mean that we're going to be perfect. And I'm not expecting that of this person or Maverick City music. But I do expect us at the very least to not be promoting the things that. God hates and he hates them because he loves us. So I hope that Glorilla will repent and remember

the faith that she was raised with and see that Christ is the star. He is the prize. He is the blessing. Not the things that she wants her fame, her success. And I pray the same thing for sexy red and Megan the Stallion because they are promoting a kind of degeneracy that is just so harmful on both an individual and societal level. All right, I've got a little more to say about this. Let me tell you about our next sponsor for the day, and that is pre-born. A lot of you ask me, I don't know what to do to help save babies. I want to be a part of pro-life work, but I don't really know how to, except for just say that I'm pro-life publicly, which is a really important thing. But if you also want to put your money, your time where your mouth is, that I encourage

you to donate to pre-born. It's a large network of clinics across the country that are providing free resources to pregnant moms in need. One of the most important things they provide is that free sonogram. When a mom sees her baby in the womb on the sonogram, she is so much more likely to choose life for her baby when she sees that little body, here's that little beating heart. She sees this is not just some abstract clump of cells. This is a human being. This is part of me. She is so much more likely to choose life. And when she does choose life, preborn is there providing her with so many of the materials that she needs to thrive. Go to preborn.com slash alley.

That's preborn.com slash alley. Okay, so some of these artists are responding to the backlash that they've received because there has been some backlash on social media. In an October 8th interview with Hot Spot Atlanta, Franklin seemingly discussed his recent collaboration with Glorilla. He didn't actually say her name, but he said, you know, choosing collaborative projects is still something that I'm trying to figure out. I'm just always grateful that people want to work with me, saying there's not one set formula for every individual.

The musician added that he always tries to determine what he can contribute to a project that can either elevate it or inspire it. Kiera Shurd posted on Instagram, I'm super blessed to be a part of Glorilla Pimp's new song rained down on me. I pray all who are listening are hearing the message of hope, faith in Jesus Christ. But I already read the lyrics to that song, and it's not the gospel. It's just about what God can give you as the star of the show. Maverick City music has yet to make a statement. And in October 11th YouTube video, host of Not Just Sunday podcast, Nick Von Jones,

expressed dismay at the mind-blowing irony of Rain Down on Me. The rest of the album's lyrics are as explicit and vulgar and disgusting as it gets, He said, you celebrate sin and glorify sin for seven songs, and then all of the sudden you want to insert a praise break as if that's going to save you. You need to repent. On social media, fans shared mixed reactions to Christian artists participating in the album. One wondered if it was a prank while another row. I don't know if this is what the Bible meant by set apart. Someone asked, how was Maverick City on the same album of sexy red?

Like, what are we doing? All other people said, Christian should stop judging. You're not God. You're not perfect. Well, of course. I mean, no one said that. But if God's ways are better and if we love God and we want good things for people, then that means we're not going to be excited about supporting an album that promotes sin and harmful things.

Someone else wrote, Jesus frequently collaborated with sinners. No. No. the worst. We have no idea what God has called these artists to do. Christianity is about sharing the good news of the Savior to those who need it most. Okay, Jesus was not collabing with the woman at the well. That was not a collab. In fact, he very explicitly, some people today would probably say harshly called her out on her sin and told her these things about herself that unless he was God, he really, had no way of knowing, said, yeah, you actually have multiple husbands because she was an adulter and you need to stop sitting. And here I am the living water. So you will never thirst again. Your well will never run dry and told her when she asked, you know, basically, are you God?

are you the one that people have been waiting for? And he was basically like, yep. So he shared the gospel with her, called her to repentance, called out her sin. That's not what's going on here. That's something that people forget that when Jesus was dining with the tax collectors and the prostitutes, when he was interacting with the woman who was caught in adultery, when he was healing the sick, yes, he was meeting material needs in many cases, but he was also calling these people to faith and repentance because he didn't only care about their bodies. He also cared about their

hearts and their souls because that's what real love is. Christians are called to be as wise as serpents but innocent as doves. It's not judging someone hypocritically because that's really what we are told not to do in scripture. We're not to condemn someone for something that we are guilty of, but we absolutely should be able to discern right from wrong, truth from a lie, and light from darkness. That's part of the wisdom that God promises to give us when we ask for it in the book of James. And so no, Jesus was not collabing with sinners. He was calling sinners to repentance. As I said earlier, this is not the first time Maverick City music has caught some flack. In June of 2021, they released an album titled Jubilee Juneteenth edition.

The single Breathe won the GMA Dove Award for Gospel Worship recorded a song of the year. It was written in 2021 as the trial for Derek Chauvin was taking place. Maverick City's Chandler Moore responded to the verdict of Derek Chauvin with the release of the song, Breathe, inspired by Floyd's final words, speaks of the urgent call to use the breath God has given us to worship. And so after the George Floyd incident, there were also members of the band that posted in support of Black Lives Matter, also the drummer for Maverick City. music Harold Brown in June of 2022 following the release of the Dobbs decision posted a picture that said over and over and over again men shouldn't be making laws about women's bodies. Since the Instagram story was deleted, many of Brown's followers posted responses from both sides of the abortion issue. The comments were posted to his other Instagram photos. I can't believe everyone in their mom. is in these comments steady judging and not even rightfully judging at that. Someone said, thank you for your support for women. Someone else said, God hates the lukewarm Christians in hands that shed innocent blood. Dante Bo, a former member of Maverick City music, released a

controversial solo album in July 2023. One of the album, or one of the songs was called, Wind Me Up, and the music video features dozens of scantily clad women partying it up and sexual poses while the lyrics are about desire, companionship, and lust. Show me, show me, show me, show me, show me, show me, show me love girl. You take my mind into an ex-world. You're the best love me ever get. Okay. So it's so hard to say I and I don't want you as my ex-girl.

So Maverick City music with as much talent as they have and I appreciate and have benefited from like there's just a lot there's a lot going on there people also criticize them back in june because the um they sing with rapper will smith at the b t awards and a performance that critics said was very dark fiery demonic smith premiered his single you can make it on a dark smoke filled stage standing in a circle of fire with a small choir of vocalist and a raised simmy circle behind him. The performance incorporated the sound of a gospel choir and solos by Kirk Franklin and Maverick City music, including the Christian musicians, seemed too many to be only a superficial inclusion in a message that was only vaguely spiritual referring to heaven and hell, but focused on

personal struggle and triumph. Again, we've got that narza Jesus. So there's just a lot, there's just a lot going on there. A lot of interesting political positions, not interesting. Of course, I say that kind of sarcastically, but bad political positions that it just seems like a lot of unnecessary partnership with the world that comes across as promotion and endorsement. And so, you know, I want Christian artists and Christian groups to follow God and to walk in repentance and to set a steady example of being true to God's word. And I'm so thankful for the Christian artists and groups out there that not only base every single lyric on the Word of God, but their entire lives. Because in a way, you guys are

leaders, you guys are teachers, and music has such a special way of getting into people's hearts and changing people's minds, both for better and for worse. I think that's why Satan has such a hold on the music industry and also doesn't really surprise me about what's going on here. He wants to see these artists compromise because he knows this is a really, easy way to manipulate people into being further from the Lord. And so just take care. And we all should take care of the, you know, the music that we are listening to as well. And the people that we're supporting, it's making me certainly think twice about listening to promises by Maverick City music. And I think I even, you know, I even shared it on Instagram once. And now I'm like, oh,

probably shouldn't have done that. So I'm in the same boat with you guys thinking about the music that not only we're listening to, but also promoting. All right. We've got this crazy story about Kamala Harris and the campaign that she is trying to, that she is trying to launch right now that her campaign is doing with pornography. What? What? What are we doing, y'all? What are we doing? But before we get into it, let me tell you about our next. sponsor for the day. And that is First Liberty. First Liberty is the largest legal organization in the nation dedicated exclusively to defending religious liberty for all Americans. They believe that every American of any faith or no faith at all has a fundamental right to follow their conscience and live according to their beliefs. They represented coach Joe Kennedy, who had progressive activists coming after him, threatening his livelihood and his job for simply praying on the field during a football game. They have represented those in the military who didn't want to get the COVID vaccine for religious reasons. And so they're really doing amazing work.

And one thing they're sounding the alarm on right now is the left's plan to pack the Supreme Court. They're calling it a Supreme Court coup. And even Joe Biden has suggested that he wants to reform the Supreme Court. Like that is communist speak for taking away. the balance of power. They want to concentrate as much power at the top as possible. They don't want the check and balance of the Constitution. And that's why they don't want the check and balance of the Supreme Court. That's why they don't want the electoral college. When they don't win, they seek to undermine our institutions. The very institutions, the democratic institutions, they say they are guarding. They actually seek to undermine until they can collect all of the power

necessary to move their agenda forward without opposition. So First Liberty wants you to know their plan for the Supreme Court. That's why they want you to go to supreme coup.com slash stucky to learn how you can help stop the radical lefts take over at the Supreme Court. That's supreme coup.com slash stucky. Okay, I saw this reported by the Daily Signal on October 10th. Hands off my porn campaign pushes voters toward Kamala Harris. The hands-off my porn campaign, a coalition of pornography producers, distributors, and performers

is spending $100,000 to run ads online to encourage porn users to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. The campaign claims it is not coordinated by the Harris Walls campaign. So let me clarify that. I think I said that wrong earlier. It's not coordinated by the Harris Walls campaign, but many political strategists think that's not true. Okay, so we'll give you.

into that back and forth a minute. So we'll show you the picture of what this campaign looks like here. Don't let them control what you watch. Vote for Kamala Harris. Conservatives are planning to criminalize porn. Don't let them control what you watch. Well, don't threaten me with good time because there are some of us who do want pornography to be illegal because, duh, it is the legal loophole for sex trafficking and even child sex trafficking. There's just not good safeguards. It doesn't count as free speech. It clearly should count as obscenity. The Supreme Court has been unhelpful in this regard. And there's been a lot of back and forth over the past several, several decades on what is considered obscene, what is considered free speech. And look, I really

believe in free speech. I think free speech is vital to our country. I think it is not. It is necessary, especially for people of faith, especially for people like me who say things that the mainstream considers controversial. But pornography is not speech. It's not free speech. It shouldn't be. I know the Supreme Court, many on the Supreme Court have apparently disagreed, but it is the legal loophole for sex trafficking and child sex trafficking. And it would only benefit society if it was really, really, really hard to get. And some people say, oh, well, it's just. just going to go on the dark web. Good. Make it as difficult as possible to access. I think that that would be a good thing. What do we always say about the left? When they're talking about freedom,

what are they talking about two things? They're only talking about two things. They're talking about sexual degeneracy and abortion. And there's a lot that falls into that, that falls under that sexual degeneracy piece. They're talking about the freedom of teachers to teach your kids about changing their bodies in accordance to their fictional gender identity. The freedom of schools to have pornographic and LGBTQ affirmative curriculum and books in elementary school libraries. That's what they're talking about. The freedom to be celebrated, affirmed, and subsidized in your quest to buy a child.

if you're two men buying the eggs of one woman, renting the womb of another woman. They're talking about sexual degeneracy and abortion when they're talking about freedom. They're not talking about your First and Second Amendment rights. They're not talking about your bodily autonomy to choose what vaccines go into your body. That's not what they're talking about. They're only talking about sin. They're only talking about sexual degeneracy and abortion when they're talking about freedom. This is another great example of that.

The advertisement claims that the Trump administration will ban porn if he is elected again, a claim that is based on policy recommendations and the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025. Of course, Trump has repeatedly disavowed this. And here is a sought of this campaign. I'm Holly Randall and I've been working in the adult industry for over 25 years. I need to address the threat of Project 2025. Over 140 Trump appointees got together and wrote a roadmap for his next term in office and decided that one of their top priorities is to outlaw pornography.

The only thing the outlawing porn will do is drive it underground. And that's when things get dangerous. So visit handsoffmyporn.com. Learn the facts, listen to women, and vote. The Trump allies in this campaign are labeled weirdos in the ad. that's rich coming from pornos. Okay? You're not going to convince me that the weirdos are the dad and the granddad with the kids and the grandkids and the normal families who are trying to get people to live their lives.

You're not going to convince me that the weirdos are the Christians simply trying to protect the most vulnerable and build a functional society. Like there is nothing positive about pornography. it is only destructive. It is only detrimental both to the individual, also to the family, and then also to society. It is mentioned, the outlying of porn is mentioned in the Ford of Project 2025, but it's not actually a policy prescription. This is the opinion of President Kevin Roberts when he is discussing sexualized book in schools. He says this, pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classes registered sex offenders.

I love that. I completely agree with that. Trump probably doesn't agree with that. He's not associated with Project 2025 at all. I think that, I mean, I haven't read the entirety of Project 2025, but we did do a deep dive on it, and I have read most of it. And most of it is very mainstream conservative stuff. It's not any of the scary, theocratic stuff that you are seeing from the left. A lot of it that the left is talking about, they're just straight up lying about it. While the fact of porn expenditures themselves is shocking, Megan Kilganon, senior fellow at the Family Research Council said, the messaging around Project 2025 and the targeting of swing states would lead one to believe that these ads are coordinated with the Democratic National Council. committee and the Harris campaign. It would be better to promise lower taxes, lower prices,

more jobs. But since Harris Walls is not credible on those topics, it's not surprising that the expert fearmongers at DNC would supplement their dire abortion messaging to women with porn-based ads for men. So those are the messages they have for you. This party who claims to be pro-woman, here's the promise they have for you. They will ensure that men can have access to fueling their porn addictions, which makes them sexually dysfunctional and more likely to be violent and more likely to cheat, to actually physically cheat, not just mentally and imaginatively cheat through pornography. And women, don't worry, we'll make sure that you can kill your child. That is the explicit platform of the Democrat Party. More

poor and more abortions. It is a party of death and destruction. You're not going to tell me this is the party of the least of these, the party of the most vulnerable and the marginalized, the anti-racist, poor, pro-impoverished, compassionate, empathetic party. It's a party of destruction and chaos and decay. And it's so hard for me to see how someone can't see that. And how a Nashville pastor like Ray Ortland, who I know, knows his Bible can endorse something like this, can endorse Kamala Harris. Really? Go back and listen to yesterday's episode or watch it if you haven't already. Just to reiterate, porn's destruction and why big porn is on Kamala Harris's side. Let's look at some of the laws that have actually been passed. Over a third of U.S. states, including North Carolina and Georgia, have enacted

age verification laws to prevent minors from accessing online porn. And pornography behemoth, Pornhub, has outright stopped operating in many of those states. So if we have to make sure that children can't see porn, Pornhub is saying, well, we're just going to take our ball and go home. We're not even going to operate in those states. Huh, that tells us something about their priorities. When Utah passed age verification laws last year, Pornhub's parent company then called Mindgeek, now called ALO blocked access in Utah to PornHub and a number of other pornographic websites it owned. So they're so mad about this that children might have a harder time accessing porn on Porn Hub that they said, okay, we're not going to allow anyone to access it, which I, of course,

think is a huge win in those states. And they know that porn addicted men will be so angry about this that they will put pressure on their legislators to try to take away these age verification laws so Pornhub will come back. Pornhub has also shut down in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Texas, and Virginia. Praise God. When internet users visit the site, they are now met with a message criticizing the state's laws barring minors from accessing porn and urging porn users to contact their state representatives to complain. Wow. Here's why these laws matter. Child protection and anti-trafficking advocates have observed that pornography creates a heightened demand for human trafficking, including child trafficking. Of course it does. You know, some of the most

popular videos and categories on porn hub have to do with children or have to do with teens and have to do with possibly adults dressing up like children. It's sick. Pornhub and its parent company admitted in federal court last year that the company's profit from illegal sex trafficking. Pornhub hosted videos from a sex trafficking pornography production company and profited from those videos. In January, investigative journalist Arden Young, we've had her on the podcast. We'll link this episode from sound investigations came on, came on the show and discussed her expose series on Porn Hub and a series of eight videos. She went undercover to find out the truth about Pornhub's practices. They admitted that porn is in fact addictive. They're fully aware of rapists and pedophiles

using loopholes to upload illegal content. And then her investigation also found that Pornhub's employees admit that they target pedophiles in the company's advertising. Pornhub execs have also admitted that they purposely try to reel in porn users, male porn users who typically only look at, you know, heterosexual content. They try to target them with trans advertising and with homosexual advertising to try to get them addicted to that kind of pornography. They're doing Satan's work every day in the darkest and most demonic form. And what side of the aisle is this industry on?

The same side of the aisle of call her daddy, the same side of the aisle as Planned Parenthood. Of course, child sacrifice and sexual degeneracy always go hand in hand. And these industries that profit from those things love Kamala Harris. Not the guy who everyone says has the sexually sorted past because he does, but not the guy who everyone says is awful, is terrible, is the anti-Christ himself that we can't vote for because of his own personal past. Look, I'm looking at the policies. I'm looking at the worst industry, the worst organizations, the worst people in the world

and which side they're on. Like that alone, I think, makes it pretty darn clear. Pretty darn clear. All right, we've just got one more quick thing to talk about. And it is, I mean, speaking of sex pest, Bill Clinton, he's got something interesting to say about the Kamala Harris campaign. It's probably going to surprise you. Let me tell you about our last sponsor for the day. First, that is my Patriot Supply.

So Bill Clinton is campaigning for Kamala Harris, of course, and he was campaigning in Georgia. he's got his he's got his like camo hat and he's talking to a group of voters about immigration, which of course is a big concern for a lot of people. Someone asked him about Lake and Riley, of course, the poor young woman that was just on a jog in Athens, Georgia, and she was murdered on a Sunday morning by a Venezuelan illegal alien. Just I can't, I still can't believe that happened. It's just so sad. Thanks Kamala Harris, Borders are for that.

He was asked about this, and interestingly, here's what he said. It's not one. You had a case in Georgia not very long ago, didn't you? They made an ad about a young woman who'd been killed by an immigrant. Yeah, well, if they'd all been properly vetted, that probably wouldn't have happened. But if they all properly vetted, and that doesn't happen, and America is not having enough babies to keep our populations up. So we need immigrants that have been vetted to do one.

work, there wouldn't be a problem. And he couldn't keep people all torn up and upset. Go to bad. Go to bad. I don't think you even know what you're saying. I think that you, I think he realized what he said. And then he was like, but we need immigrants to mow the lawn. That's basically his argument. You know, you've seen that on X. That's basically the argument that is being made. It's being made with J.D. Vance and his Sunday, in his Sunday interview. years, which he is just crushing, by the way. It's actually stunning that any of these networks are allowing him on. I'm like, he's making y'all look so dumb. But he's doing a great job, and I'm very grateful for that. I mean, he's incredibly articulate. And the way that they are trying to minimize the illegal immigration problem and trying to say, well, who's going to farm for

us? Who's going to be our cheap labor? They're not going to be able to hire people. And J.D. Vance's point over and over again is like, yeah, these companies aren't going to be able to pay these under the table wages because that's the thing is that these illegal immigrants will come over and they'll work for any amount of money. And Americans can't work for that low amount of money. They need more money than that. And that's why these major companies love illegal immigration. And so, I mean, J.D. Vance's argument is like, yeah, that's not a good justification. That's a very sorry justification for not caring about the sovereignty and protection and security of our country. But that's basically what it comes down to. And oh, we're not having

enough babies. So we have to replace them with people from third world countries. How about let's stop aborting our babies? How about that? How about let's stop with this antinatalist anti-baby policy and rhetoric that is so pervasive on the progressive side. Like, let's fix that. There's a lot of things that I think we could fix both personally and politically before we say, yeah, we just need to import a bunch of non-Americans into the United States. And that'll be our new country. That's not right. That's not what someone who loves this country thinks. But he obviously indicted Harris there. Our borders are when he said, oh, he wasn't properly vetted. Yeah, duh. Because we don't have border enforcement.

right now thanks to our current administration, who undermines every effort by the border states to protect their borders. And so when they are incentivized, when illegal aliens are incentivized to come here illegally and cross the border, there's going to be a large surge of them. And we don't have the manpower. We don't have the ability to vet them. And the policy is catch and release. They're being released into the United States saying to come back at some time for a court date and they just don't. And because they are undocumented, there's really no way to ensure that they are deported or that they are given the documents necessary to be here legally. And of course, when that happens, you get Lake and Riley, you get Molly Tibbitts, you get Kate Steinle. That was the most surprising chapter for me as

I was writing it. I was the most incensed and the most passionate, I think, when I was writing the immigration chapter, which was a surprise to me. It's not something that we talk about as much as the other subjects in this book like abortion, like gender. And yet as I was writing it, it was just, it's so obvious to me how unjust and how broken our system is, how obvious it should be to anyone, but especially a Christian who worships a God of order, that borderlessness is wrong and unloving and hateful and cruel towards your neighbors. Loving your neighbor does not mean selling out your fellow citizens for people who have no interest in assimilating and no interest in respecting our laws in the U.S. That's not what loving your neighbor means. That's not what loving the sojourner means either.

And I explained that very thoroughly in the immigration chapter of this book, the one that people seem to be very upset about on X because I said that no human is illegal is a legal. lie because of course it is a lie we are given laws in governments and countries and borders by the god who loves us and who wants human beings to thrive and to come to know him so order this book toxic empathy wherever books are sold and thanks bill clinton in your old age you have said something that is true bill clinton by the way also passed the 1996 or signed the 1996 immigration law which actually helped America out a whole lot and helped them deport a lot of illegal aliens and criminals.

Democrats have fallen a long way, and it's largely because of this toxic empathy that has convinced people to be progressive in the name of compassion in a way that has really, really been detrimental to our country. So you can go to toxicempathy.com and check that out. Thank you guys so much. We'll be back here tomorrow.
