So they feel as if it's a personal attack on them.

And immediately what they do is to begin to defend because they're trying to defend themselves.

They have become enmeshed with this particular movement.

And I think that's why you're seeing people not turn to,

after incident, after incident, after incident, because for them, that would be a complete collapse of their own identity.

And I think that's a lot of what we're experiencing right now.

But there's a direct line to this truth too.

Many people still support him regardless of what the line is, this administration, what's happening right now, because they do it themselves, right?

And here's what I mean.

2021, in the world I grew up in, my father was a Baptist pastor.

But in 2021, not that long ago, an independent investigation report came out from Guidepost Solutions.

And I don't know if you remember this, Don, but there were over 700 allegations of sexual misconduct.

within the church the southern baptist convention it was covered up many names came out and i see a direct correlation between guidestone solutions independent investigation of the southern baptist convention and evangelicals and the epstein files and here's what that tells me um what that tells me is

They chose MAGA and this movement because they are justifying him in attempts to justify themselves.

And this is what is happening in this moment.

But I have really good news because there are lots and lots of people waking up.

And what we're realizing is as painful as it is, as more and more of this begins to surface and get exposed, people's eyes are opening and they're realizing, oh, this is –

this is egregious.

This is nefarious.

This is wrong.
