We are also talking about Megan Fox's strange and new age announcement about her new pregnancy and all of the theological context surrounding her short statement. We've also got a call to share the arrows with a restaurant in Wheaton, Illinois, all the details on that. This episode is brought to you by our friends at Good Ranchers.

Starting point is 00:01:39 Go to Good Ranchers.com. Use Code Alley at checkout. That's good ranchers.com code Alley. Hey guys. Welcome to Relatable. Happy Tuesday. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far. We are back in studio looking and sounding like we typically do.

Starting point is 00:02:03 We are going to focus more on culture today. We've been talking so much politics and for good reason. But I wanted to talk about a few stories that you guys have sent me and asked my thoughts on. This first one is this crazy story about Mattel. That is the company that made Barbie misprinting a link on the packaging for their dolls, Wicked Dolls. And I mean Wicked the movie that is based on the musical that is based on the book. this packaging had a thing on the back that actually linked to a porn site rather than the site that it was supposed to link to, which of course was something about the dolls. So here's the summary of this and what they're saying was just a giant mistake. So Mattel printed a porn website link on the back of its wicked movie themed dolls geared toward young girls ages four and older rather than the link to the website.

Starting point is 00:03:03 for the movie. The error gained attention on social media over the weekend where numerous users shared photos of the URL printed on the back of the boxes

Starting point is 00:03:12 featuring characters from the movie adaptation of Wicked that's hitting theaters this month. By the way, as an aside, I am not going to see this movie.

Starting point is 00:03:23 I loved Wicked the musical. My mom and I would listen to the soundtrack and sing to the soundtrack every day going to school when I was in middle school. I loved the musical. I love the music, but this movie does not look good. It just, it doesn't. It doesn't look true to the story. The talent is going to be nothing like Adina Mansell and Kristen Chanoweth. And so I'm just not interested in seeing it. But this is still going to be popular, I'm sure, and therefore the dolls are popular. And if they are targeting kids, little girls ages 4 plus, I think it is of utmost. importance to get the link correct on the back of the box. So it's supposed to link to Universal

Starting point is 00:04:10 Pictures official wickedmovie.com page, but instead it leads to wicked.com. This is an adult film site. I do not recommend testing this out for yourself. In a statement sent to the Associated Press, Mattel said it was, quote, made aware of a misprint on the packaging of the Mattel Wicked Collection dolls, which it said are primarily sold in the U.S. We deeply regret this unfortunate error and are taking immediate action to remedy this. The company added, I cannot imagine something like this slipping through the cracks at a place like Mattel. You've got so many hands and so many eyes that a product like this has to go through. This is also a very evil misprint because it's not just like it got.

Starting point is 00:05:01 sent to some like unpurchased domain and it was just you know a letter off or something like this. This was an entire word off and you would think that there would be someone employed at Mattel or someone on the wicked production end of things that would have tested the URL. That's not just a small thing. As of Monday morning, most of these wicked dolls appeared to be no longer available or not in stock on sites like Amazon Target and Mattel's website. In the meantime, the company is advising consumers who already have the dolls to discard their packaging or obscure the link and contact Mattel's customer service for more information. First of all, I don't even know why there needs to be

Starting point is 00:05:46 any kind of URL on the packaging of a kid's toy. I just don't think it's necessary. We already put up the picture, but we'll put up the picture again. This was first posted. I saw, by Lips of TikTok. She said Mattel printed a link to a PORN site. You know, she did a little asterisk on two of the letters on their packaging for Wicked themed dolls. Crazy how these mistakes keep happening. So this has happened in the past.

Starting point is 00:06:20 You'll remember a couple years ago, the episode that we did on the Balenciaga scandal, that is a big brand that has been advertised, promoted by. lots of celebrities, especially Kim Kardashian, and they were selling bears and putting bears on their models on the runway that were dressed in bondage gear. So like BDSM, which is like violent sex gear. And these toys seem to be targeting children. And in fact, if I remember correctly, children were in some of these ads with these kinds of strange, kinky BDSM bears. And in one of their photo shoots on the desk was the text of a Supreme Court decision that involved child sex abuse material, typically referred to as child porn.

Starting point is 00:07:16 And they said, oh, this was just a giant mistake. This is a messaging that we meant to put out there. But again, this is a situation where you've got a huge major corporation that routinely does photo shoots like this, and every single detail has to be scrutinized and approved by multiple people. It's just hard to believe that an error that giant could happen. And so obviously what I'm implying is that someone at one of these companies is sick and twisted and nefarious. Now, I hope that that is not the case.

Starting point is 00:07:54 I hope this was a genuine error. But again, like, what are the odds that these major companies are placing porn or porn themes into the hands and eyes of children accidentally? I think that we understand at this point that many of the powers that be really like the idea of sexualizing children. That is what is behind this entire gender ideology movement that places in. libraries and curriculum, this idea that you should talk to a trusted adult that is not your parent about your genitalia and your feelings about your genitalia and your stated identity surrounding your genitalia. I mean, progressive ideology seeks to destroy. It seeks to destroy innocent. It seeks to destroy beauty. It seeks to destroy truth. And therefore, it also

Starting point is 00:08:51 seeks to destroy the family. And we already see in places like California, legislation has been passed that cuts ties between parents and children when the parent won't go along with the new stated identity of their child. We've interviewed some of those parents whose children have been taken out of their custody because they refuse to put their teenage daughter on hormone blockers. And so that's what progressivism does. It destroys. And I just. would it be surprised if some nefarious person used this channel to introduce children to pornography? And maybe I'm wrong. Again, I really hope that I'm wrong, but unfortunately, porn is so incredibly pervasive. A lot of progressives were so mad at the idea that possibly

Starting point is 00:09:46 Project 2025 afloated the idea of banning pornography. And even though I don't think at all that is on the docket for any legislators or the Trump administration, it would be a good thing. It would be a great thing. And people say, well, then it would just be relegated to the dark web. Okay, let it be relegated to the dark web. Make it as inaccessible as possible. And I actually did a debate against Charles C.W. Cook. He works at National Review that was moderated by Raj Rare at the University of

Starting point is 00:10:21 Dallas several months ago and I was on the side of banning pornography. And one of my arguments was that pornography is the legal loophole for sex trafficking and specifically child sex trafficking because there's really no way to verify the ages of the people involved. There's no way to verify if these people consented. And it's not only that, but it is also a negative in every single way. It breaks down people's relationships, their own sex lives, their own confidence, their ability to function. It objectifies human beings. It takes sex outside of the proper context. It is destructive in every way. It's not only that it very often lacks consent. It's also that it lacks any redeeming value whatsoever. I think it should fall under obscenity laws. I think it's so obvious.

Starting point is 00:11:21 that it is obscene and that it should not have First Amendment protections. That's how I feel about pornography. And the fact that children could so easily access it, as we've talked about on this show, it is very easy. If you allow your child to have any access to the internet, it is very easy for them to stumble upon pornography, to be traumatized by the images that are in their mind to become addicted to pornography. rewires their brain in a way that they very often cannot heal from the entirety of their lives.

Starting point is 00:11:58 Yes, I believe that we should do whatever possible legally, technologically, culturally to make pornography inaccessible, to relegate it to the deep and dark rungs of the dregs of the dark web. sure, whatever has to happen to make it really, really hard to sell, to profit from and to distribute that I'm for that. I'm glad Mattel is making this right. And I just hope that no one, no child access this, but make sure that you look out for this if you are a parent. Okay, let me pause and tell you about our first sponsor for the day. And that is Samaritan's purse. I absolutely love Operation Christmas Child. Um, Speaking of protecting and serving vulnerable children, Samaritans purse has done this really well in so many ways for so many years.

Starting point is 00:12:59 But one of, I just think one of the sweetest ways that they do this is through Operation Christmas Child. Since 1993, they've been collecting millions of boxes from people like you and me filled with different toys and items like combs and toothbrushes for children around the world who have never gotten to experience. the joy of opening a gift at Christmas. From now until, let's see, when is the cutoff date for this? From now until November 25th, it's actually November 18th through November 25th, you can drop off your box. You can go to Operation Christmas, or actually, you can go to Samaritanspurse.org slash OCC.

Starting point is 00:13:43 You can see what is required to build your box, what you should put in it, where you can get a box, you can get one of those cardboard boxes, boxes maybe at your church or a plastic box that you buy anywhere. And then you can see one of the 4,500 drop-off locations find the one near you. Do this with your kids. It's a really great way to just teach them about generosity. It's emerituspers.org slash OCC. Another story that might not seem like one that I would typically cover, but does have a theological significance that I want to get into because this is an idea that I've seen a lot. And it comes our way via Megan Fox announcing her pregnancy. So Megan Fox is the actress. She is probably most famous for what Transformers?

Starting point is 00:14:35 I'm not really sure. But she is with Machine Gun Kelly. I actually don't even know if they're married or just boyfriend, girlfriend. She also has, I believe it's three sons. And now she is welcoming her next child. and she posted this on Instagram. It's a picture of a pregnancy test with the yes plus on the digital screen. It says nothing is ever really lost. Welcome back. And that is because she had a miscarriage not too long ago. And so what she is saying is that the baby that she lost previously through miscarriage is now back.

Starting point is 00:15:18 and this is a new age idea that I've actually heard several times. And it doesn't really surprise me coming from someone like Megan Fox because she actually believes that babies inside the womb are conveying messages to us through their spirit. She said this just a few years ago in an interview. She said, when I became pregnant with Noah, that's one of her sons, I could feel through my mother's intuition, I suppose that he was not subscribing to gender stereotype. So I decided to provide an environment for him early on that would allow him to discover how he wanted to express himself. Unfortunately, her boys now present themselves. It seems in pictures that have been

Starting point is 00:16:06 shown in a very feminine way. They dress up as girls. At least one of them does. Some reports say that all of them actually present themselves as female. And she also said this. She said, I know it sounds crazy like I'm a lunatic, but I've made some really good decisions based on what the higher self is telling me to do. This baby, she's talking about the baby that she was pregnant with previously. This baby wanted me to live somewhere else. So we're moving to a whole different place in Los Angeles. I feel like that's where this baby wants to be raised. I also feel like this baby is telling me it's kind of like an Elon Musk, a super genius. Okay, so this was about her third son because the first time she was talking about her oldest son, Noah, and then she has a two-year-old,

Starting point is 00:17:03 and then she was pregnant with this third that she was saying, this baby is telling me that we need to move elsewhere. And now she is saying that this baby that she is currently pregnant with is the same baby, the same soul that she was once pregnant with earlier. And you know, I first heard this a few years ago when I was watching a video about a woman who claims to be a Christian talking about the abortion that she chose to have. And she said that the reason that she doesn't have guilt about this abortion is because she felt like this baby was telling her it's not time yet and I can come back but it's not time and all you have to do is send me back. And I've also seen it of course not in the context of abortion saying, oh, this baby chose me,

Starting point is 00:17:57 chose us as her parents, chose to come into our lives at this time, seeing these babies as these kind of autonomous individuals that have almost a high, higher sense of wisdom and a special transcendent power that we don't have. And I looked into where this comes from. Like, what is the philosophy behind this? Of course, it's new age. That's really just kind of an umbrella term for paganism from Eastern religions. We talk a lot about it. In my first book, You're Not Enough, and that's okay. This idea of the God of Self or the Goddess of self that she's deep down inside you and that actually you are perfect before you enter the world but as soon as you enter the world then your perfect inner goddess gets weighed down or

Starting point is 00:18:55 gets hidden gets covered up with the muck in the mire of the patriarchy or capitalism or other people's unfair expectations your um negative dad or your toxic mom or all of these people who didn't understand you and held you back, all of these systems and these people outside of you have all been working since the time that you were born to inhibit your inner self, your true goddess. And you have to then go on this journey of self-discovery and self-liberation to dig past all of these people's unfair expectations and all of these systems that have held you down to find your inner goddess again. And how you do that is learning how to truly love yourself. And once you

Starting point is 00:19:49 truly love yourself and put yourself first and find what makes you happy, no matter what you have to sacrifice or whom you have to sacrifice to get to her and fulfill her, then you will finally be free. Then once you get there, everything will fall into place. You'll find the, true love of your life, you'll start manifesting all of the goals and ambitions and successes that you've been dreaming of for so long and everything will finally feel right. Now, you'll notice that the people who have claimed to have gone down that journey, who claim to be able to sell you the scheme that they followed to get there, or that they have found the hidden secrets all the universe or the divine higher self and their program, like you'll notice that those people are

Starting point is 00:20:44 rarely, truly happy. Those people are so often miserable. Those people typically have one plus divorces in their past. You will notice that they are very dependent upon you buying their program or you liking their posts or you giving them validation and an affirmation for them to be okay or they are constantly seeking the next thing. This mode of meditation or this kind of self-care or this mode of self-empowerment. This will be the thing that finally helps you reach that higher plane. It's like what Scripture says in 2ndipathy 3.7, always learning and never able to arrive at the knowledge of truth. Actually, let me read this passage because in this culture, what I call the toxic culture of self-love, self-love is seen as the highest virtue, the greatest thing that you can attain.

Starting point is 00:21:59 Once you reach that, everything else will fall into place. Once you have full empathy for yourself, then you can have empathy for other people and you will be the most virtuous and compassionate and confident and successful person. And it's just not true. The self can't be both the problem and the solution. If inside yourself you're finding all of this confusion and the chaos and the depression and anxiety, the solution to those things can't be found in the same place where you're finding your problems. You have to go outside of yourself, namely to your creator, the God who sent his son to die for you, who loved you so much that he sacrificed himself on your behalf, on your sin, so that you could actually not fulfill yourself, but be free of yourself and the bondage that you

Starting point is 00:22:46 have to sin and the flesh. So let me read you this passage in 2 Timothy 3. But understand this, that in the last days, there will come times of difficulty for people will be. So these are times of difficulty, okay? For people will be lovers of self. So that's not a good thing. This is the only time self-love is talked about in Scripture. And Scripture is actually saying that this is an indication of the times of tribulation and difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not-loving,

Starting point is 00:23:28 good treacherous reckless swollen with conceit lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of god having the appearance of godliness but denying its power avoid such people for among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women burdened with sins and led astray by various passions always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth these are the women who are seeking the and the freedom and the liberation and the fulfillment from people like Glenn and Doyle, from people like Rachel Hollis, from people like Jen Hatmaker who worship at the altar of the God of self and are convincing women that if they do the same, they will be happy. Just toss off the rules and regulations of religion. Don't worry about what God says is right or wrong. You know better

Starting point is 00:24:23 than God. Gosh, what does that sound like? It sounds so similar to what Satan said to Eve, not Adam, Eve. So again, capturing weak women through deceit and through the manipulation of the God of self, did Satan say, no, you will not surely die. You will be like God. That is what this toxic culture of self-love feeds women that manifests itself in the new age. Now, all of that was me explaining what kind of the new age is, not what its roots are, but how it manifests itself here in the West and actually can disguise itself as an angel of light by coming through people who say that they are Christians and Bible study leaders and teachers of the word and will write books and Bible studies to Christian women that basically tells them the lie, the New Age lie,

Starting point is 00:25:22 that the biggest problem that you face woman is that you have low self-esteem. And the greatest plane that you can ascend to is loving yourself completely and finding yourself fully and fulfilling yourself holy and W-H-O-L-L-Y, that kind of holy. And it's just not true. The biggest problem that we have is that we are sinners in need of a Savior. Now, what does this have to do? with Megan Fox saying that she has her baby that was once lost back. Well, I will connect all of the dots in just a second. Let me tell you about our second sponsor for the day. And that is WeHeart Nutrition.

Starting point is 00:26:06 I absolutely love WeHeart Nutrition. I take their supplements every day. I'm taking their postnatal vitamins right now. It's perfect for this stage of life for me. I also take their magnesium, their omega-3s, their iron supplements. It's helped my iron level so much as someone. who is typically anemic. I think it's really helps me stay healthy and cold and flu season. It's helped bring my energy up. I did not deal with this third time around any postpartum hair loss.

Starting point is 00:26:34 I really attribute that. A lot of that to my supplements from WeHeart Nutrition. This is a Christian family-owned company and they want to work with you and find you the supplement regimen that works best for your body. All of the ingredients come in the most bioavailable form. And so you will not regret getting your supplements from WeHeart Nutrition. Go to WeHeart Nutrition. Use code Alley for 20% off your order. Go to Weheartnutrition.com code Alley. So I apologize for the tangent, but I'm going to do like Donald Trump and I'm going to

Starting point is 00:27:11 weave it all the way, all the way back to the original question, the original point. So I was searching like where does this come from, this idea that if you abort your child or if you miscarry your child, then their soul is going to come back to you. And as I was searching, of course, the first website that came up was Cosmic cradle.com. And this blog post is from 2014. And while it's not that sophisticated, it did kind of give me some idea of where this comes from. So how they describe it is that these babies that come back to us in the womb are a soul reincarnated. So reincarnated means like the same soul, it comes back in a new form. So in a new body, of course, there are Eastern religions, Indian religions that believe that you can come back as an animal and you just keep being reincarnated.

Starting point is 00:28:13 Of course, that is not a Christian belief at all. we do not believe that. Now, Jesus came in the body of a man, but we do not believe that human beings are reincarnated because we read in scripture that once we die, we meet judgment. And of course, Jesus on the cross, when he is talking to the thief and the thief believes in faith, the salvation of Christ, Jesus says, today you will be with me in paradise. That is also one reason why we as Protestants do not believe in purgatory, that you meet your eternal fate after you die. But this idea of reincarnation, yes, we see it in pagan religions and we see it in different kinds of Eastern sex, but we also see it in the occult.

Starting point is 00:29:09 We see it in something called spiritism. So I started to look this up. Like what is spiritism? Where did it come from? Because this reincarnation idea really, at least how it manifests itself here in the West, in the language we hear about babies being reincarnated, that really seems to derive from spiritism. So it was founded by someone named Alan Cardac. It's described as a science dedicated to the relationship between incorporeal beings and human beings. So, this was a French guy, he was a teacher in the 19th century. Like you'll notice that much of the occult, many different, many different of the occultic sacks were founded in the 19th century. So that's just something to think about, that the belief systems that all came up in this very strange time, they were all kind of feeding on each other.

Starting point is 00:30:11 They were all very strange. they all had a lot to do with human new revelation that God had given them a new sign and a new word. But remember, and I don't want to paraphrase this because I want to make sure that I get it correct, that we are not to add to what God has already revealed to us in His word. We read in Revelation 2218, I warn in... who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described

Starting point is 00:31:01 in this book. And so obviously in this context, he is talking about the prophecy that has been revealed to him in the book of Revelation. We are not to add to the revelation that, that has been given to us there about what the end times are going to be, what the ultimate fate is of the universe and the ultimate redemption of mankind. And of course, we know that God's word is sufficient. It's efficient for building up. It's sufficient for helping us in sanctification, for keeping us accountable, and for sharpening us. And so we have to be very careful when we are looking at where our belief system comes from when it started, how it started, and who started it. But a lot of the occultic practices like spiritism were started in the 19th century

Starting point is 00:31:51 when people were just coming up with a lot of goofy ideas about God and the afterlife. And so this guy, Alan Cardick, believed that the world is made up of the tangible and the physical and then the spirit world, which, okay, you can see how it is convincing for some people because that there is an element of truth to that. We read in Ephesion 6 that there is a spiritual battle waging, that actually our real enemy isn't a physical or political enemy, but a spiritual enemy that there are spiritual powers of darkness waging for the souls of mankind and waging against the glory and the goodness of God.

Starting point is 00:32:36 Satan is described in Ephesians 2 as the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience among whom we all once walked in the passions of our flesh carrying out the desires of the body and the mind and were by nature children of wrath like the rest of mankind but God. Being rich in mercy because of the great love with which he has loved us made us alive together with Christ, by grace, you have been saved through faith. And so we do know that there is a spiritual battle at play. However, what the occult does is that it borrows portions of Christianity, and then it perverts it. And so spiritism uses mediums, it uses seances, like Ouija boards that we've talked about in the past to communicate with the dead. And there were

Starting point is 00:33:31 some famous seances that occurred around this time that made people believe that, okay, this guy is onto something. Really, the spirit world is trying to communicate to us. Actually, I was just watching the season finale of, I think, season two of Downton Abbey last night. And they had a Ouija board. And of course, they were the two dark, terrible characters in the show using the Ouija board to try to communicate with the dead. And I was just reminded. of how fascinated humans have always been with the other side, trying to get knowledge that they don't have access to in the here and the now. And that's kind of how spiritism started, borrowing a little bit from these Eastern pagan religions, borrowing a little bit from Christianity

Starting point is 00:34:19 and making people believe that they could access the other world and the power that's there. And that really is what Megan Fox is channeling. And through my research, I found, that that's really where this idea derives from, that the spirit world is communicating to us through our babies. It is not only false because we are all as individuals made in the image of God. Yes, those babies are in souled and they matter and they're made in God's image, but everyone has a distinct soul. After we die, we meet judgment, we meet our eternal fate. Of course, I believe that all babies who die inside the womb, whether they die, by abortion or they die by miscarriage that through the mercy and the grace of God that those

Starting point is 00:35:08 babies get to go to glory. But those babies do not then come back. It's also not true. And I know a lot of us use this kind of explanation to talk to our kids, but it's not true that there are souls waiting in heaven to be called down or that they choose our parents. That's just not how it works. It's only God who is eternal, who has been forever outside of time, that God actually created time. And so these are not eternal beings. Even angels aren't eternal beings. They were created beings. God is the only uncreated one. And so this idea of babies just kind of waiting for the stork to carry them down that's more of like a fantastical idea in some ways a new age idea. Again, it doesn't surprise me. that someone like Megan Fox believes that.

Starting point is 00:36:05 And maybe it seems like that's innocent, but it is never innocent to mess with anything that has to do with spiritism or paganism or mediums. You'll remember that in scripture, God strictly forbids his people to participate in seances, in necromancy. So trying to talk with the dead. You can see this in the Old and the New Testament, Leviticus 1931, actually this was punishable by death. Galatians 520, 2nd Chronicles 336.

Starting point is 00:36:38 Hebrews 9.7 is what tells us that the spirits of men face judgment after death. And we know that Satan is the deceiver. He is also the accuser. We read in John 844 that he lies to mankind. And he, of course, wants us to be communicating with the other side, to think that we are communicating with power, because that takes our eyes off of Christ, the only real source of goodness and righteousness and power and satisfaction, but it also gets us in communication with demons. Because when people say they've talked to the dead or when they've talked to a spirit, they are communicating with demons.

Starting point is 00:37:20 And that's not something that we should mess with. That is, again, something that is very real. And so it actually matters how we talk about life inside the womb and how we talk about people after they die. They don't become angels after they die. They weren't angels before they were born. It's important because how we think of God and his specialness as the uncreated one, how we think of his power and who we are in relation to his character and power that all really matters. for how we see and understand the world.

Starting point is 00:38:00 Now, congratulations to Megan Fox for having a child. I really would like her to be saved. It seems like she is one of these people who was constantly seeking and never arriving at the knowledge of truth. She really does seem to worship at the altar of the God of self, and that will always lead to destruction. It always has. And the cult of self-affirmation, the two highest values are autonomy and authenticity, which can both be good when they're in submission to Christ, but when they're only in submission to the self, they justify sin. They justify just being your authentic self-identifying however you want to, practicing your autonomy, even killing your own baby in the name of autonomy. me. And so everything has to be in subjection and submission to Christ in order to be good,

Starting point is 00:39:01 in order to be beneficial. And so that tiny little caption really set me off on thinking a lot about how we think about babies, how we think about life. Those babies inside the womb matter. Those embryos matter. They are in souled image bearers of God, but reincarnation is not something that we should believe in, certainly not put our hope in. We put our hope in the resurrection of Jesus Christ who overcame death once and for all. That is not something that we do on our own. That is something that we get to accomplish by grace through faith in Christ. Let me pause and tell you about our next sponsor for the day. Speaking of the value of babies inside the womb, that is pre-born, y'all, we are so excited that Trump won, which means that, even though he is

Starting point is 00:39:47 not as pro-life as we want him to be. That means that states will be allowed to continue to have legislation that protects the dignity of babies of babies inside the womb that protects their lives. But unfortunately, in several states across the country, like Missouri and Arizona, measures were passed that enshrines abortion as a right through all nine months. That means the abortion industry is going to be thriving in those states in several other states. And so you want to make sure that you are doing whatever you can to protect those babies, to provide pregnant moms with life-saving with life-saving tools like sonograms so they can see those babies and hear those babies inside the womb. They're so much more likely to choose life when they do. That's what pre-born, a network of clinics

Starting point is 00:40:38 provides for these moms as well as lots of baby items for them once the baby is done. born. Go to preborn.com slash alley. If you donate just $28, you cover the cost of an ultrasound. If you want to cover the cost of an entire ultrasound machine, which would save countless lives of unborn babies, you can make a huge donation of $15,000. If that's a way that God has blessed you financially, and that's how you want to use your finances, that would literally save thousands and thousands of unborn lives. Go to preborn. dot com slash alley to make your donation. All right, we've got to share the arrows story.

Starting point is 00:41:24 And I'm hoping to be able to get the owner of this company, of this restaurant on the show on Thursday. So I don't want to tell you the entire story because I want you to be able to hear it from this person. We actually tried to get Matt on today. We were unable to. There were just some tech issues. But let me go ahead and tell you a little bit about the stories.

Starting point is 00:41:42 So you can go ahead and send them your message of encouragement because they absolutely need it. So Matt and his wife Ashley own a restaurant called movable feast. It's a neighborhood cafe and catering company that responsibly sources their ingredients from local growers and their own farm. It's very popular in Wheaton, Illinois. They use all types of really good ingredients. And this is just their passion. They've got four kids and they are just a sweet family that owns this company that serves

Starting point is 00:42:17 their community really well, but they are receiving huge backlash right now because several citizens in Wheaton, Illinois are upset by a sign that they hung in front of their restaurant. It says, Jesus is my savior. Trump is my president. And then another sign that says, make America healthy again. okay so that was very bold they didn't have to do that but they decided that they were going to take a stand for the things that they believe in of course they knew there would be backlash but they did it anyway since adding the banner marquez that's their last name said that they've received more than 500

Starting point is 00:43:06 hateful messages and that was several days ago and so let me read you some of these messages and we can put the picture up too i'm not going to read the words out loud F you, you've lost my business. Another message, I really appreciate when racist announced themselves. Another message, I won't be spending my money at your establishment. I'll let my friends and family know not to give money to someone who supports a convicted felon and sexual predator. Let's see. Another message, I bet you ate paint chips as a child. Why would you bring politics into your business? No wonder you've been struggling. No one's going to feel bad for you when you go. under. I think you need Bible school. Someone else says. On the contrary, Marquez says that his business is up almost 50% since putting up the banner. So they are standing strong. He said that his family has been threatened, has been bullied, has been reported to the health department, over 10 threats to sue them and to make every attempt to put us out of business no matter the cost. We are a Christian family trying to

Starting point is 00:44:15 love people serve great healthy food. Now, maybe you don't agree with them putting their banner up. Maybe you think it was a bad business idea. That is totally beside the point. This is the United States. We just had a president that won the popular vote and won over 300 electoral votes. Yeah, you're going to limit liberals. You're going to be around people that voted for him. You are. Everyone is a suspect at this point. So if you want to avoid Trump voters, then maybe you should just stay side. The fact that you cannot handle just disagreement, basic disagreement with your fellow Americans over half of your fellow Americans, that's a you problem. Okay, that's not an us problem. We do not have to bend and cater to your hurt feelings or even your strongly held convictions. You are free to

Starting point is 00:45:07 have those. So again, going back to yesterday, when I hear from people that, oh, well, you shouldn't gloat. You shouldn't celebrate. You shouldn't be happy. Remember, other people are sad. Okay, well, we had a FEMA supervisor tell her employees at FEMA not to help houses in Florida in the wake of Hurricane Milton that had Trump signs in front of them. And so we're talking elderly Trump voters who didn't have electricity going on 36 hours who desperately needed life-saving help. They did not get help from FEMA because they had a Trump sign. These people are getting threats to their family, threats to ruin their lives and livelihoods because they hung a banner supporting Donald Trump in front of their own restaurant. Huh, I wonder why you guys lost. It's such a mystery. I just, I can't put my finger on it. You guys are so likable and so kind. And just so accepting, I can't, I just, I can't understand why people don't like you guys, why people don't want to put you in power.

Starting point is 00:46:22 Because we see what you do when you're out of power. You think we want to put your hand on the lever? No, no, we want to keep you guys as far away from the holes of power as we possibly can. And thank goodness, we've got a GOP trifecta, at least in Washington. and we are going to continue to take over the school boards and the local governments as much as we possibly can because people that send messages like this, people like that FEMA supervisor, do not deserve to be anywhere near the halls of power or anywhere near children. And so take your hate and your bitterness and go sit on your couch and pout about it. you can have your as my father-in-law says poke rolls and grits if you're hungry and there's nothing to eat you can poke rolls and grids and that means you can poke your lip out and you can grit your teeth and you can just be mad about it and you can eat your humble pie that should

Starting point is 00:47:26 taste very bitter in the wake of the loss that you guys just had because many of you I'm not saying all Democrats at all I'm not even saying all progressive activists but people like Stories like this are so common. You guys are horrible people. You need Jesus. You do. Because I don't see this kind of stuff on the other side. I'm not saying there aren't hateful Republicans. Of course, there are. But it just seems like this stuff predominantly happens on the left side. So maybe it's time for a little self-reflection and evaluation of your belief system. Come on. So go to their Instagram. It's movable Feastco. Go to their Instagram. Go to their Instagram. Instagram guys, share the arrows with them. If you live in that area or if you live in driving driving distance, go to them and eat some food there. I'm sure it's really good. And go message them, some encouragement, pray for them, share the arrows with them. That's what this is all about. If we can get Matt on the show, hopefully we will.
