Not that was ever much doubt, but on today's CNN This Morning, the show she hosts, Kasie Hunt made clear her membership on Team Kamala. In the context of a discussion of Trump's MSG rally yesterday, David Frum, an Atlantic editor and Trump-despiser extraordinaire, said that the Trump campaign is all about "rage, contempt, and hate."  Frum added that the message of the Trump campaign is: "Police women [presumably in the sense of keeping tabs on those who might violate state laws restricting abortion], expel people who are different from you. Be angry at the world. Denounce criminals, from the mouth of a convicted criminal himself." Frum said that the rally constituted a public service because it showed America "the choice" that they had. Responding, Hunt said that "David is correct," and echoed Frum's words, saying that when she reviewed excerpts from the rally: "I wrote the top that this choice could not be more stark. Honestly. I mean, you could see it." It seems that for Kasie, it's a choice between, on the one hand, Trump, who offers rage, contempt, hate, a police state against women, expelling people just because they're different, and denouncing criminals. And on the other hand, Kamala, who offers . . . well, Kasie didn't say. But we'll put her down as favoring joy, and a New Way Forward--whatever that means! Kasie closed the segment with a heartfelt sigh: "We got one more Monday before election day -- We've got a big choice ahead of us."  And no one could doubt which choice Kasie was urging people to make! Note: Frum said that a part of Trump's platform is to "denounce criminals." True, Frum added that the denunciation came from someone who had himself been convicted of crimes [bookkeeping crimes in mislabeling hush money payments to Stormy Daniels.] But whatever Trump's peccadilloes might have been, does Frum think it's wrong to denounce criminals?  Frum also framed Trump's immigration policy as wanting to expel people who are "different from you." No. Trump plans to stop the flow of the millions who entered illegally during the last four years. Does Frum favor what amounted to Biden-Harris' open-border policy?  Here's the transcript. CNN This Morning 10/28/24 6:06 am EDT DAVID FRUM: This IS the message. This has always been the message: rage, contempt, hate.  Police women, expel people who are different from you. Be angry at the world. Denounce criminals, from the mouth of a convicted criminal himself. That's the message! . . . This rally was a true public service. Show America what is the choice. That's it. What you saw there was NOT a distraction. It was the truth. KASIE HUNT: I mean, I will say, when I watched, when I watched the pieces of his rally last night, and again coming in this morning. I mean, there's a reason I wrote the top that this choice could not be more stark. Honestly. I mean, you could see it. And David is correct that this is what, I mean, the Trump team is not distancing itself from all the other things that were said at the rally, because they believe it! . . .  FRUM: I think it's upsetting to a lot of Trump voters to face who this guy --that he has never done a good deed in his life. He's never done a charitable act in his life. He's a monster. . . .  HUNT: All right [big sigh.] Almost, [shakes head] we got one more Monday before election day, and this is where our conversation is. We've got a big choice ahead of us.

Hundreds of ballots likely went up in flames after an explosive device apparently went off in a ballot drop box in Washington state, one of two such explosions that occurred early Monday morning.Around 5:30 a.m. on Monday, police began working tirelessly to put out a fire in a ballot box near a bus station in Vancouver, Washington. Video of their efforts shows crews toiling in the pouring rain as the contents of the ballot box were reduced to ashes. — (@) "It appears that a device was attached to the outside of the ballot drop box that resulted in the ballots being ignited," Clark County auditor Greg Kimsey said, according to Oregon Live. The ballot box was outfitted with a fire suppressant, Kimsey noted. Unfortunately, it did not work effectively.When asked how many ballots were affected, Kimsey declined to give an exact number but claimed it was in the "hundreds."Kimsey described the incident as "heartbreaking." "It’s a direct attack on democracy," he added.Police likewise described the device as "suspicious."'Southwest Washington cannot risk a single vote being lost to arson and political violence.'Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs (D) suggested the incident may have even been an act of "terror.""I strongly denounce any acts of terror that aim to disrupt lawful and fair elections in Washington state," he said in a statement, according to ABC News.The drop box is located in Washington's 3rd Congressional District, where Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D) and Republican Joe Kent are in a tight rematch. In 2022, Perez beat Kent by fewer than 3,000 votes."Southwest Washington cannot risk a single vote being lost to arson and political violence," Perez said in a statement, according to ABC News.Kent's team did not respond to a request for comment, the outlet claimed.Ballots at the drop box were last collected around 11 a.m. on Saturday, so anyone who deposited a ballot after that time is encouraged to check the status of their ballot online. They may also contact the county elections office to receive a replacement ballot by calling (564) 397-2345 or emailing elections@clark.wa.gov.Sadly, the drop box in Vancouver was not the only one in the area to be hit. About two hours before the incident in Vancouver, an "incendiary device" exploded in a drop box in Portland, a press release from the Portland Police Bureau indicated. Portland, Oregon, is located about 10 miles south of Vancouver, Washington.Fortunately, a fire suppressant installed in the Portland ballot box activated, preventing a significant fire. Multnomah County Elections Director Tim Scott claimed that only three ballots had been damaged and that elections workers had already made plans to contact the affected voters."By the time officers arrived, the fire had already been extinguished by security personnel who work in the area," the PPB press release said. "Officers determined an incendiary device was placed inside the ballot box and used to ignite the fire. PPB’s Explosive Disposal Unit (EDU) responded to the scene and cleared the device."It is unclear whether the two incidents are linked.Yet another incendiary device was discovered at a drop box in Vancouver on October 8. Luckily, it did not cause any damage.A man also allegedly admitted to lighting a fire in a ballot box in Phoenix last week, destroying perhaps 20 ballots, as Blaze News previously reported. The suspect denied having any political motivation, claiming instead that he "wanted to be arrested."Like Blaze News?

I just finished Joe Rogan’s interview with Donald Trump and wanted to share my thoughts while it’s still fresh in my mind.This interview will likely be the most consequential political event of my lifetime — maybe ever. Future interviews will try to emulate its style and influence, making it a generational harbinger much like the Kennedy-Nixon presidential debate of 1960. But whatever comes next will only build on the precedent set here for the following reasons.If the culture war needs voices like Rogan and Trump, so be it. Rogan arguably has the widest reach of any show since Oprah Winfrey, and his audience is distinct: men who see themselves as truth-seekers and who distrust the current political and media landscape.For better or worse, Rogan now guides more of the next generation of male discipleship and leadership in this country than the church does — an influence shift that the church has allowed.Trump is arguably now the most famous living person in human history. And yet the largest platform in the country was still able to grant him the opportunity to counter so many misconceptions of who he actually is, what he actually thinks, and the resistance movement he represents.This interview alone won't erase nearly a decade of malevolent corporate journalism, but it's a D-Day invasion-level event. The marriage of the largest alternative media platform yet devised and the biggest living threat to the current media-political-industrial complex has established a beachhead in the enemy's occupied territory. Just as June 6, 1944, forever shifted the momentum in the last great war, it is quite possible that October 25, 2024, will be seen by future generations as the great momentum-shifter in the great information war.The benefit of this interview for candidate Trump could be equivalent to the largest and most expensive media ad buy in political history — something unattainable given the resources and precise messaging required to pull it off effectively.This may become the most-watched interview in human history, featuring a candidate whose last two campaigns were decided by a combined margin of fewer than 130,000 votes in key swing states. It granted him an unrestricted platform to redefine himself for millions just as the election unfolds.This single conversation inflicted more epistemological damage on the Spirit of the Age that threatens Western civilization than the Christian Church has managed in a generation. Once the institution that shaped this civilization, the church has become weakened and passive in confronting today’s cultural battles.It was just two individuals, each with their own unconventional beliefs, pursuing truth, common sense, and the common good. It’s clear why the Spirit of the Age attempted to dismantle Rogan’s platform during the COVID-19 pandemic and has targeted Trump himself for assassination not once but twice. By contrast, it’s equally clear why many pastors don’t face such opposition — they simply aren’t seen as a threat, and tragically, few even aspire to be.The conversation about environmentalism may be the best example. Trump demonstrated a surprising command of the issue and, in one interview, inflicted more damage on a core tenet of the left’s occult religion than I’ve ever seen in a single setting. Given Rogan’s largely post-partisan audience, the reach and impact of this moment are significant.This was cultural evangelism in action. Trump dismantled the left's climate narrative as effectively as John of Damascus challenged Islam or Francis Schaeffer deconstructed the counterculture. This approach poses a serious threat to the prevailing Spirit of the Age.If Trump and Rogan can reframe common sense in a way that transcends the mostly artificial partisan divide, they present a far more existential threat to societal darkness than the current state of the church, sadly. This conversation unfolds against the backdrop of leftists attacking publications like the Washington Post and Los Angeles Times for not rubbing their bellies.This interview also signals where the culture war may go post-Trump. With the church caught up in self-censorship and essentially emasculating itself, something else must emerge to confront the darkness. Would God prefer to use our family-values pastors who speak with little vice? Absolutely. But just as Gideon sounded the trumpet for battle, the church has decided it has better things to do.So if the culture war needs voices like Rogan and Trump, so be it. As believers, we shouldn’t compromise our core principles — we’re not allowed that luxury. But we should recognize where the battle is, go there, and stand with those willing to fight. Not everyone storming the beaches of Normandy was a devout believer, yet they fought. Cast aside your sweater vests and furrowed brows and join this fight while we still can. Joe Rogan’s interview with Donald Trump confirms that this battle will happen — with or without us.
