00:01:42.000Probably the biggest, most exciting news I've seen ever.
00:01:47.000I think in some ways it's bigger than the Trump election.
00:01:51.000And so far as the Trump election caused this, you know, maybe it's a bigger deal, but this is certainly one of the biggest events of our lifetime and one of the biggest, most unambiguous, most decisive victories, not just in the political battle, but in the spiritual struggle.
00:02:14.000And I know that as a consequence of this, we are going to open up the floodgates for God's grace to come back into this country and back into our hearts and support what we're doing.
00:02:27.000And it just goes to show never lose hope.
00:02:52.000There was a concurrent opinion written by Justice Clarence Thomas, which is very exciting.
00:02:58.000Talks about applying the same logic to overturning Roe v. Wade to the rulings that legalized sodomy, gay marriage, and contraception.
00:03:08.000So there's sort of an interesting precedent being set, not just for abortion, but also for some of these other so called rights that were written into the Constitution by previous decisions.
00:03:21.000We'll talk about what will happen as a consequence of this.
00:03:25.000I know that some people don't perfectly understand it, but there are a few different categories that the different states will fall into.
00:03:33.000Now that this ruling has come down and Roe versus Wade has been overturned, what it has in effect done is made it so that abortion is not a constitutional right, which means it's now a Tenth Amendment issue where the states actually have the jurisdiction now.
00:03:54.000And so all that happens now is that the federal permit, the federal license for abortion is now over, and now states are free to prohibit abortion as they see fit.
00:04:08.000And so some states will not prohibit abortion, some states will, some states automatically did as a result of Roe versus Wade being overturned.
00:04:17.000Some states already have laws banning abortion on the books that will now become enforceable because Roe versus Wade was overturned.
00:04:25.000And then some states have laws restricting abortion that will be enforceable as a result of the ruling.
00:04:33.000So we'll get into all of the different outcomes that will result from this.
00:04:37.000And I think there's a few other details to get into.
00:05:29.000But that being said, I have to say that this year, I have never felt more optimistic based on the kinds of things that I have seen, not in the political battle, but the undercurrents beneath that, which is the spiritual battle.
00:05:49.000And I'm talking specifically about the day that Pope Francis consecrated Russia to the Immaculate Heart.
00:06:01.000And I feel like although things are getting more difficult and things are getting darker and things are getting.
00:06:07.000Scary war, famine, inflation, hyperinflation, recession, oppression, crime, violence.
00:06:18.000Although things are getting more difficult, I have a sense and I have a hunch that things are getting more difficult because we are winning in the ways that matter.
00:06:29.000And I don't think that any of this is a coincidence.
00:06:32.000I think that everything happens for a reason.
00:06:36.000And I think that what we see playing out in politics.
00:06:39.000Is shades and reflections of what we're seeing going on in the spiritual realm.
00:06:44.000I think that what we're seeing is a battle that is happening in the conscience and in the heart and soul of man.
00:06:52.000And I think that what we see in the political realm and on TikTok and Twitter and in elections and on the news media is just shades and just reflections of that.
00:07:04.000And if you pay attention to the spiritual battle, we are decisively winning.
00:07:15.000We're soldiers for America first, but first and foremost, we're soldiers for God and Jesus Christ.
00:07:21.000And our goal is to deliver people to salvation and deliver the nation.
00:07:26.000Have people saved and save the nation.
00:07:28.000And save doesn't mean like fix the economy, it doesn't mean like elect Republicans.
00:07:36.000It means salvation, it means save the lives of the people in the country.
00:07:41.000Save their eternal souls and their eternal life of the people in the country.
00:07:48.000And I think that properly understood, we are moving inexorably towards saving America.
00:07:55.000And that is why we are seeing this kind of never before seen resistance in just about every form coming from the ultimate enemy, which is not the media and not the liberals and not the seethers and the critics and the far right beat journalists and drama YouTubers.
00:08:44.000Put everything aside, and we're still seeing the fruits from the Trump election, from the original movement in 2016.
00:08:51.000This wouldn't have happened without the Supreme Court being filled.
00:08:55.000This wouldn't have happened without very providential things lining up exactly right to get a world historical moment like this, which will bring God's favor to our cause and to our country.
00:09:09.000And I think you can see the manner in which the scales will begin to tip back in favor of people that are righteous.
00:09:15.000What seemed impossible yesterday now seems easy after what we saw today.
00:10:01.000Touched in a way that I never have, and that was the day that Russia was consecrated, which was fulfilling a prophecy, according to some Catholics, and a day like today, which is just an overwhelming moral and spiritual victory.
00:10:20.000And understand what this means practically.
00:10:24.000This means that millions of babies will not be murdered.
00:10:29.000What that must do, Can you imagine the kind of celebration that is happening in heaven right now, and the opposite of what is happening in hell?
00:10:40.000Because millions and millions of babies have been spared.
00:10:45.000Probably millions of mothers will not be killing their babies.
00:10:50.000The level of grace and redemption because of this decision today cannot be overstated.
00:10:58.000And this is the kind of thing that matters.
00:11:02.000Don't let anybody tell you that prayer doesn't work.
00:11:06.000Don't let anybody tell you that this stuff isn't practical or this stuff is magic or something.
00:12:17.000I've been posting all day a lot of good content, a lot of good information about the decision and the outcome of the decision and some of the reaction.
00:12:27.000I have a lot of good stuff on the Telegram that went out today, so check that out.
00:12:32.000Also, as you know, we are doing our big film premiere in July.
00:12:59.000And if you haven't heard about this already, we put together two episodes of this already, which are already out there about me being put on the no fly list and the government freezing my money.
00:13:11.000We produced a third episode, which is longer than either of the first episodes, which we shot at AFPAC.
00:13:19.000And so we'll be premiering that episode.
00:13:22.000We'll be re airing the first two episodes at this event.
00:13:26.000We'll be doing a QA with me and the directors, a meet and greet with me, and actually a lot of the streamers from Cozy will be there.
00:13:34.000I believe Jimbo, Wooza, Kai Clips, Dalton, Tyler, Beardson, John Miller, Party Goy.
00:13:51.000We have a VIP package for $1,000, and that includes a world class dinner in Las Vegas with me and with our cozy guests, as well as the event, the screening, and then an after party in a penthouse suite on the Las Vegas Strip.
00:14:09.000And you can get those tickets at America First Foundation.orgslash Vegas.
00:14:15.000And the moderators can post the link in the chat throughout the show in case you missed that.
00:14:55.000The VIP package was already, we've sold a lot of those, surprisingly.
00:14:59.000I didn't know how many of those that we would sell.
00:15:01.000We actually wound up selling quite a bit.
00:15:04.000So if you want to be a VIP sponsor, make sure to do it now because I don't know how much more of those we're even going to be able to sell.
00:18:23.000You know, I said yesterday, it's so uncanny.
00:18:27.000Just yesterday, I said, man, you know, Republicans just never have decisive victories.
00:18:32.000I said, we've been in power most of the time, if you're counting House, Senate, and President over the past 40 years.
00:18:42.000And although the Democrats get decisive victories in Supreme Court rulings and with presidents and in Congress and in government, I said, you know, we don't really get anything.
00:18:52.000It seems like everything's moving in the wrong direction.
00:18:55.000And to the extent that things move in the right direction, On net, they're not really moving in the right direction.
00:19:03.000To the extent that we're taking one step forward, we're always taking five steps backward right after.
00:19:09.000And I said that last night, and I'm eating those words tonight, and I'm happy to do it.
00:19:16.000Because, like I said, this has just got to be the biggest white pill I've ever seen, at least since the Trump election.
00:19:39.000But I have to say, it's almost as good to see the abject sadness and dread from the other side.
00:19:48.000I'm just, you know, because we have been dealing with this, the smugness and all of this for the past year and a half, and they just keep getting beats.
00:20:47.000And it feels like the 2016 energy is back.
00:20:51.000It felt like for a long time people were kind of faking it.
00:20:55.000You know, people would watch the Trump rallies in like 2020 and they'd be like, whoa, he said something about immigration this time, based?
00:21:04.000And it's like, yeah, that's not really 2016 energy.
00:22:42.000In the past six years, Elon Musk became the richest man in the world and started shitposting.
00:22:50.000And then decided to buy Twitter for $43 billion and make it a free speech platform and bring everybody back.
00:22:59.000And what we're going to see next year is that Trump, after a red wave in Congress, is going to announce he's running, win the nomination, and become president again.
00:23:19.000We can meme this into reality, we can make this happen.
00:23:24.000And the energy that I felt in 2016, the sense of things really changing and victory actually being tangible and at our fingertips, and in some sense perhaps providential and inevitable, the feeling's back.
00:23:53.000To all of the haters and the doubters and the skeptics and small minded people, never Trumpers, people that like DeSantis, this would not have happened without President Donald Trump.
00:24:41.000And even in the last month before 2020, he jammed through Amy Coney Barrett, another Catholic who he knew would make the right decision when it came time.
00:24:54.000And it's been a couple of years, it's been a year and a half since he was in office.
00:25:00.000But this ruling is a direct consequence of Donald Trump coming down the escalator in 2015.
00:25:07.000And that alone is the argument for why Donald Trump is the greatest post war American president, maybe one of the greatest presidents in American history.
00:25:18.000Certainly the best president of this century, certainly the best president since World War II, maybe the best president since 1900, maybe forever.
00:25:30.000And that can never be taken away from him.
00:25:33.000And the Trump legacy just gets better and better over time.
00:25:37.000In 2016, he beat the Republican Party, he beat the media, and he prevented Hillary Clinton from becoming president.
00:25:57.000He prevented a war with North Korea and Iran and Venezuela and Russia when we were headed to war with all of them.
00:26:06.000Brought back the economy, and then the things that have happened after the presidency he's ended the war in Afghanistan, prevented an invasion of Syria, and overturned Roe versus Wade.
00:26:21.000Can you point to a single other president that has a more impactful, more conservative, more Christian, more nationalistic legacy than Donald Trump?
00:26:35.000And any shot that any Else would have to challenge Trump in 2024, rightfully, has just gone out the window.
00:26:45.000Any argument that anybody had that Donald Trump is the Antichrist or that Donald Trump is not conservative or he's a traitor just went out the window.
00:27:00.000And I believe that Trump's presidency was part of a divine plan, but it couldn't have happened without his fortitude and his strength and his will.
00:27:12.000And his righteousness, and the fact that he did the right thing throughout to set these pieces in motion that would give us this ruling.
00:27:23.000And I don't think enough people are saying that, by the way.
00:27:35.000And here on earth, let's give some credit to the president that put the justices in place to make the decision.
00:27:43.000Fought through brutal confirmations, negotiated with justices in the 11th hour, in the 59th second of the 11th hour, putting Amy Coney Barrett on the bench before the election.
00:27:58.000And that man is Donald Trump, the solar king, the emperor of America, the divinely mandated emperor and king of America, Donald Trump.
00:28:49.000Was supposed to review this case brought before them about a Mississippi law that restricted abortion.
00:28:56.000And in the course of reviewing Mississippi state's right or jurisdiction to regulate abortions, they had to actually revisit the question of whether or not abortion is a constitutional right.
00:29:11.000Ever since the Roe versus Wade decision in 1973, the Supreme Court set a legal precedent that abortion, a woman getting an abortion, Is a legal right enshrined in the Constitution, which means that it cannot be banned by state governments.
00:29:31.000Because it's in the Constitution, because it's a right protected by the Constitution, interpreted by the Supreme Court with this decision, it makes it a federal matter, and so this limits the jurisdiction over the states to regulate women getting abortions.
00:29:54.000And so the jurisdiction, the powers that the federal government has are enumerated in the Constitution.
00:30:02.000The Constitution says positively what the federal, the national government can and cannot do, what its jurisdiction is.
00:30:11.000The state governments have reserved powers, which means that everything that is not enumerated, everything that is not positively stated as a power of the federal government, or interpreted as positively stated as the jurisdiction of the federal government, Is reserved, that jurisdiction is tacitly reserved for the states.
00:30:34.000So the things that are not in the Constitution, the states can make laws about.
00:30:38.000So that's why all of these cultural issues previously were state issues gay marriage, marijuana legalization, the Second Amendment, all of the big touchstone cultural issues that wind up in the Supreme Court, by and large, they're questions of is this a Enumerated power of the Constitution.
00:31:40.000The various levels in the federal court system and wound up at the Supreme Court.
00:31:45.000And in deciding whether or not the Mississippi state government was able to restrict abortion in this way, they had to revisit whether or not abortion is actually in the Constitution.
00:31:55.000And that is the essence of what happened today, or at least what was disclosed in this ruling today.
00:32:04.000It says, The Supreme Court on Friday overturned Roe v. Wade, a consequential decision that guts.
00:32:10.000The nearly 50 year landmark ruling that legalized abortion nationwide.
00:32:16.000The decision to overrule Roe was 5 4 in a majority opinion delivered by Justice Samuel Alito, joined by his conservative colleagues, Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.
00:32:31.000Alito wrote in the opinion We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled, referring to a subsequent 1992 abortion decision that upheld Roe and declared that states cannot impose.
00:32:48.000The opinion reads The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision.
00:32:58.000Roe was egregiously wrong from the start.
00:33:00.000Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences.
00:33:06.000And far from bringing out a national settlement of the abortion issue, Roe and Casey have inflamed debate and deepened division.
00:33:14.000The monumental ruling allows states to make their own abortion laws after decades of Constitutionally protected abortion rights at the federal level.
00:33:23.000At the heart of the case is a Mississippi law that sought to ban abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, which contradicts the standard set in Roe, allowing abortions until about 24 weeks of pregnancy, otherwise known as viability, the point at which a fetus can survive outside the womb.
00:33:41.000Chief Justice John Roberts ruled 6 3 with the majority to uphold the Mississippi law, but he disputed the conservative majority's complete overruling of Roe.
00:33:54.000Instead, he supported a more middle ground approach, keeping Mississippi statute and not doing anything else.
00:34:01.000The outcome would have weakened abortion rights without completely tossing them out.
00:34:06.000And Roberts wrote in his concurring opinion The court's decision to overrule Roe and Casey is a serious jolt to the legal system, regardless of how you view those cases.
00:34:16.000A narrower decision rejecting the misguided viability line would be markedly less unsettling, and nothing more is needed to decide this case.
00:34:27.000So, you have six conservative justices technically on the bench, and that's Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, Barrett, Gorsuch, and the Chief Justice Roberts.
00:34:41.000Five of those six, excluding Roberts, which is a majority, five out of nine, said that they're upholding the Mississippi law, which bans abortion after 16 weeks, and they're also overturning Roe v. Wade.
00:34:57.000That was a majority opinion written by Alito.
00:35:01.000Justice Roberts agrees with the majority opinion insofar as it upholds the Mississippi law and the ban on abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
00:35:13.000But Roberts writes in his own concurring opinion that while he agrees with that part, he does not agree with overturning Roe.
00:35:22.000That being said, he doesn't really give a legal opinion on Roe, he just says this is disruptive, which it is.
00:35:28.000But the job of the Supreme Court is to interpret the Constitution.
00:35:33.000Not to determine what is unsettling or disturbing or disruptive.
00:35:38.000It was disruptive to legalize abortion in the 70s, just like it's disruptive to allow states to prohibit abortion now.
00:35:47.000But the job of the justices is to interpret the Constitution and what is in the law.
00:35:54.000And, you know, all these arguments about what is the real job of the Supreme Court and should they read it with its original interpretation or should they read it with a Modern constructivist interpretation, the job of a lawyer is to read the law.
00:36:11.000If we're including things in the law like, you know, what we think the effect will be on the country and what we think the people that wrote the law would think if they wrote it now, all of this is completely subjective and completely arbitrary.
00:36:25.000And if you're handing over the interpretation of the law to people that are essentially going to make policy, well, then we really don't have a law then.
00:36:36.000You could say that the Supreme Court is just another legislating body or another executive body or something like that.
00:36:43.000But the purpose of a judge and the purpose of a lawyer is to interpret what's written.
00:37:00.000And that comes from popular sovereignty.
00:37:03.000We have given the power to govern society.
00:37:07.000To have authority over us to the government, and we allow them to do this through laws which are made by people that represent us that we elect.
00:37:20.000And it's the job of the Supreme Court to interpret the laws, and that's why that role is so crucial.
00:37:25.000That's essentially affirming that the people are still sovereign over the country.
00:37:31.000Because if the laws are being interpreted in any which way, it takes power away from the people that wrote them.
00:37:37.000And it takes power away from the people that elected the people that wrote the laws.
00:37:43.000And if it's taking power away from the people that elected the people that wrote the laws, you're severing the government from this very important, you could say, transfer of sovereignty or delegation of sovereignty.
00:38:01.000As a republic in the United States, the sovereignty comes from the people.
00:38:18.000The government's comprised of people like us.
00:38:21.000And the reason they're able to govern us is because we've delegated our sovereignty, we've delegated authority to them through the Constitution.
00:38:31.000And of course, the Constitution is something that is maintained by the state legislatures and the Congress, which are comprised of elected representatives that we vote for.
00:38:41.000And so the point being is, all of these ideas are very important.
00:38:49.000If you don't fully grasp all of that, if I'm not doing a perfect job articulating all of that, the point is to say our government was set up in such a way that we are the masters of our own country.
00:39:03.000And to the extent that the president or the Supreme Court or other entities are coming in and they're enforcing the law in a way where the law wasn't written like that, you know, executive branch, the presidency, the president's job is to enforce the laws.
00:39:22.000To the extent that the executive is enforcing the laws in a way that is arbitrary, they're taking power away from the legislature.
00:39:30.000To the extent that the Supreme Court is subjectively interpreting the laws and adding their own meaning, they're reading into the Constitution things that are not there, they're taking power away from the Constitution.
00:39:43.000They're taking power away from the representatives that ratified the Constitution, or they're taking away power from the people that passed the amendments, who are elected by The citizenry.
00:39:57.000So that's why it really is immaterial.
00:40:00.000People say, well, it's about an originalist interpretation.
00:40:05.000Yes, and there's really nothing other than that that you can come up with.
00:40:09.000If you don't read the law as written, you don't have a law.
00:40:15.000If you could read a written statement and just come up with any kind of subjective meaning for it, then it has no meaning.
00:40:20.000And if the laws have no meaning, then that means that authority is completely arbitrary.
00:40:26.000And the rules and the rules that you're expected to live by that rule over you are completely subjective.
00:40:37.000And they are subject to the whims and the sort of arbitrary preferences of the people that are currently in charge.
00:40:44.000And that makes this not a free country anymore.
00:40:46.000That makes this a country that is totally disconnected from any conception of Republican sovereignty or popular sovereignty or anything like that.
00:41:13.000Roe v. Wade said that you read the Constitution, and the Constitution gives everyone a right to have abortions, and that's the federal government's jurisdiction to protect that.
00:41:26.000That's what Roe v. Wade said, and that's why states have not been permitted to prohibit abortion since that ruling.
00:41:34.000And these five judges rightly point out it's not there.
00:41:37.000And if you read the Constitution, it's not in the Constitution.
00:41:42.000It's not in the articles of the Constitution.
00:41:45.000It's not in any of the amendments to the Constitution.
00:41:49.000And people read very broadly into certain clauses and into the 14th Amendment.
00:41:57.000And this is where they can begin to construct things that are not there.
00:42:03.000And the five judges say, You know, what's written in the Constitution, there's nothing about abortion.
00:42:08.000So, not only can Mississippi prohibit abortion, but any state can prohibit abortion to any extent because it's not in the Constitution.
00:42:17.000That means it's reserve power of the states.
00:42:20.000And Roberts, in his concurring opinion, says, Well, you know, I guess it's true, he's talking about viability, that Mississippi can ban abortion before viability because viability is arbitrary.
00:42:34.000He says, But we don't need to go any further than that.
00:42:58.000And what this does now is it does not ban abortion in America, but what this does is it allows states to prohibit abortion if they want to.
00:43:11.000The article goes on it says the court's three liberal justices, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan, Dissented, rejecting the decision and warning of the dire consequences that women will face as a result.
00:43:27.000They wrote, Withdrawing a woman's right to choose whether to continue a pregnancy does not mean that no choice is being made.
00:43:36.000It means that a majority of today's court has wrenched this choice from women and given it to the states.
00:43:42.000For millions of women, Roe and Casey have been critical in giving them control of their bodies and their lives.
00:43:48.000Closing our eyes to the suffering today's decision will impose will not make that suffering disappear.
00:46:00.000If Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who was a Jew on the Supreme Court, if she didn't die last year, So that Amy Coney Barrett, a Catholic woman, could be appointed in her place, Roe v. Wade would still be the law of the land.
00:46:17.000If Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a Jewish woman, didn't die last year, so that Amy Coney Barrett, a Catholic woman, could be appointed to the bench, we would still have Roe v. Wade.
00:46:27.000Now you tell me that this is a Judeo Christian country.
00:46:31.000Now you tell me that this is a Judeo Christian movement.
00:46:34.000You tell me that it doesn't matter that you have a lot of these Jewish people in government.
00:46:41.000Tell me that it doesn't matter after a decision like this.
00:46:44.000Tell me that with a straight face that it doesn't matter that we had a court that had four Jewish people on it and we had subtract one Jewish woman and increase one Catholic woman and now Roe v. Wade is overturned and a hundred million Americans will live in states with no abortion because of that change because we had a Jewish woman and now we have a Catholic woman.
00:47:21.000And you could tell me about Ben Shapiro and you could tell me about others, but the fact of the matter is the liberal wing in the court is Jewish.
00:47:29.000The liberal wing in the Senate, Chuck Schumer, and who's the woman from California?
00:49:26.000Insofar as there's one God and He has one Son, and there is one way to salvation and one way to the truth, then that's the way that the people running our society and writing the laws need to be, and no other way.
00:49:41.000And that's not hateful and that's not prejudice.
00:50:47.000It's always these young Jewish radicals.
00:50:50.000It's who it is that comprise progressivism, leftism, the left wing guard of these most radical social movements, whether it's feminism, whether it's Behind the NAACP, behind NAMBLA, which is man boy lovers, which is pedophilia, gay rights, abortion, all of it.
00:51:59.000And there's one Protestant, but hello.
00:52:03.000So it is Christians broadly, but it is specifically.
00:52:07.000The right is taking on a specifically Catholic character in the sense that it is authoritarian and hierarchical and traditional and these things.
00:53:15.000You had this sort of absence of Christianity, zealous Christianity, and then you get abortion and you get gay marriage and you get this sort of moral obfuscation, moral confusion on these issues.
00:53:29.000We're clearing the air and we are announcing in a unified voice Jesus Christ is our King and America is Christ's nation and America will come first.
00:53:56.000So, anyway, so that's the decision the legal protection on abortion at the federal level is now gone, and now the issue is kicked to the states.
00:54:10.000There are a lot of states that already have trigger laws on the books, which means that they passed laws over the past 50 years that if Roe ever got overturned, it would trigger automatically.
00:54:32.000There's a lot of states where it just goes into effect right away.
00:54:35.000And already, overnight, bans on abortion have taken place in many states like South Dakota, Wisconsin, Missouri, Kentucky, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas, Alabama, West Virginia, and all those states the ban is in.
00:54:54.000You have trigger laws in North Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Tennessee, and Michigan.
00:55:00.000And so, all these states, you'll have a law triggered by Roe versus Wade, which now goes into effect that bans abortion.
00:55:09.000And in states like Arizona, Michigan, South Carolina, Georgia, and Iowa, you have laws that were on the books before Roe versus Wade that will now become enforceable.
00:55:21.000So, they essentially have laws banning abortion already.
00:55:25.000They didn't need to be triggered, they were there.
00:55:27.000Now they become enforceable once again because Roe versus Wade is no longer the law.
00:55:34.000And so this is the article about this.
00:55:36.000It says Access to legal abortion could soon end for more than 100 million Americans, including those living in nearly every southern state and large swaths of the Midwest.
00:55:47.00022 states are poised to immediately ban or acutely curtail access to abortions with the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe versus Wade.
00:55:56.000So called trigger laws are taking effect and will automatically ban or curtail abortion.
00:56:02.000In 13 states, most were enacted during the Trump administration after Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh were confirmed to the Supreme Court.
00:56:11.000In another nine states, pre-RO abortion bans can once again become enforceable, or more recent bans that had been blocked by courts can now take effect.
00:56:20.000In effect, abortions could soon be illegal or next to impossible to access in 21 states with a combined population of more than 135 million people.
00:56:34.000A major change from today's environment where all 50 states have at least one operating abortion clinic.
00:56:55.000Abortion will still be legal in places like California and New York and the usual suspects, but in half the country there'll be no abortion, which is huge.
00:57:05.000The last part of this, which I think is really important, is Clarence Thomas, who wrote a concurring opinion with the majority opinion.
00:57:13.000And I'll just read this one first and I'll explain what it means.
00:57:18.000So, you have the majority opinion, which said we're overturning Roe and we're overturning the other ruling and we're allowing the Mississippi law to stay on the books.
00:57:35.000Robert says, Well, I just want to uphold the Mississippi law.
00:57:38.000Clarence Thomas takes a step further, and Thomas says that the precedent set in overturning Roe sets a completely new legal standard.
00:57:49.000That can now be applied to other rulings on social issues.
00:57:54.000And so, this is a report about Thomas and what he wrote about this.
00:57:58.000It says Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas pitched the possibility of revisiting multiple key rulings in the aftermath of overturning Roe v. Wade.
00:58:07.000Thomas, who voted with the majority to overturn the landmark abortion case, made his feelings known in a separate concurring opinion.
00:58:15.000The Thomas opinion drew comparisons between abortion and several other political issues that have been addressed by the Supreme Court in recent years.
00:58:24.000Thomas writes, In future cases, we should reconsider all of this court's substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergerfell, he says, because any substantive due process decision is demonstrably erroneous.
00:58:46.000We have a duty to correct the error established in those precedents.
00:58:51.000Griswold versus Connecticut was a landmark 1965 decision.
00:58:55.000Case which ruled that the use of contraception between two married individuals was a matter of privacy and constitutionally protected.
00:59:03.000Lawrence versus Texas in 2003 dealt with homosexual sex between consenting parties, and Obergefell versus Hodges treaded the same territory in 2015 to rule gay marriage as a constitutionally protected right to privacy.
00:59:21.000Thomas speculated that the overturning of Roe would provide a blueprint for revising years.
00:59:27.000Worth of decisions that he says are, quote, demonstrably erroneous.
00:59:32.000He says after overruling these demonstrably erroneous decisions, the question would remain whether other constitutional provisions guarantee the myriad rights that our substantive due process cases have generated.
00:59:48.000So he's saying if there's no right to abortion in the Constitution, then we need to revisit if there's a right to use contraceptives, if there's a right to.
01:00:00.000Use sodomy, or to sodomize, I should say, and whether or not there's a right to gay marriage.
01:00:08.000So he's saying that if we're overturning Roe, if the Constitution doesn't contain a right to abortion, then it definitely doesn't contain a right to any of these other things.
01:00:18.000And that would mean that if states passed laws banning sodomy, banning contraceptives, banning gay marriage, he says that the Supreme Court has a blueprint to revisit all those decisions and say, guess what?
01:01:51.000And although we can take our victory lap tonight, I can say confidently that we still have so much more work to do.
01:02:03.000I sit here tonight, the night that Roe v. Wade has been overturned, and abortion almost immediately banned in states containing 135 million people, and I say there is still so much more work to be done.
01:02:20.000In a lawless, godless nation that has turned its back on the moral law, we've come a long way, but we still have a long ways to go.
01:02:31.000And tomorrow and the day after that, we have to get to work rebuilding our country in a way that is satisfying to our Creator and in a way that is representative of our morals and our moral worldview.
01:06:46.000We're going to fucking win this thing.
01:06:48.000And we're going to win it the right way without succumbing to evil, without succumbing to despair, without taking shortcuts or easy way out, without self pity, without giving in to these things.
01:07:31.000When I volunteered for the Trump campaign in 2016, and I wrote articles and I went on Twitter, people said I was an asshole for doing that.
01:07:39.000And they said, Oh, you really think Trump is going to save Western civilization?
01:07:50.000And in some sense, me and all the other young guys that were just shitposting on the internet and doing things that were innocent enough played a small part in doing something unthinkable six years into the future that just happened today.
01:08:06.000And think about the ripples that each successive victory like this creates and what happens each time another order of magnitude more people begin doing the right thing as a Consequence of these kinds of events.
01:08:22.000It starts with one person and it sends a ripple across the pond.
01:08:28.000And as the ripple spreads out, if more and more people are behaving in this way, suddenly it doesn't become such a foregone conclusion that our country has to decline or that we have to give in to evil or we have to get desperate for solutions and tell God something like we know better than you.
01:09:00.000That plan, what we've been doing, is working.
01:09:04.000This is a vindication of so much, not just about Trump and Christian nationalism and the message, but it's a vindication about the form as well.
01:09:15.000Because, especially in the past year and a half, I've heard people say, you know, well, it's not going to happen.
01:10:55.000And we're in a war with a complexity that we cannot even understand, that we're not equipped with enough reason, with enough intelligence to even understand the gravity and the complexity and the true nature, the true order of the conflict that we're in.
01:11:46.000And we will have the ultimate victory, and that's what matters, whatever that will be.
01:11:52.000So, I guess that's the last thing I have to say about all this this is a powerful vindication of the fact that have those three things faith, hope, and charity.
01:12:05.000Not going to vote our way out of it, you're right.
01:12:08.000But with faith, hope, and charity, we can get out of this with the power of belief.
01:13:00.000So when we live in a country that celebrates abortion, that permits abortion, and all the rest, this does not please God.
01:13:11.000And so as a result of us disobeying God for very deterministic reasons, it's not going to go well for us.
01:13:19.000And because we're displeasing God, I'm sure God's not going to make it any easier either.
01:13:22.000He's not going to spare us from any of the consequences of our decisions.
01:13:27.000Now that significantly fewer abortions will be happening, can you imagine the avalanche of grace that will be given to the conservative movement that made this happen?
01:13:38.000Can you imagine the avalanche of grace that will be afforded to this country and how that will propel us into the next victory and how the next victory will open up more grace for the next victory?
01:13:49.000And can you see how this will compound and we can have a domino effect in the complete opposite direction and how it suddenly becomes tenable that?
01:13:58.000We can make this the generation that has a great Christian reawakening because it's ambitious and it's imaginative, but I can visualize it happening in that way.
01:14:14.000You know that when abortion ends in America, God smiles upon our nation, maybe for the first time in a long time.
01:14:21.000And if you believe in God, you know that'll have an effect.
01:14:43.000Probably the most prayerful, the pro life movement was maybe the most explicitly spiritual, the most prayerful faction or component of the conservative movement.
01:14:57.000So let's take that as a lesson and apply that elsewhere.
01:15:01.000And perhaps we will have similar success.
01:15:07.000But that's all I have to say for tonight.
01:15:39.000This is, never forget, that's what this is all about.
01:15:43.000This is about the things in our country which offend our deepest sensibilities, which offend our conscience, and they offend our conscience because they're wrong.
01:15:54.000Because we live in a moral law, and we have a creator, and our actions matter, and our words matter.
01:16:02.000And so we have an obligation and a duty to set these things right.
01:16:21.000So sometimes it's easy to get carried away, and you know, there's been a lot of drama in the past couple months, but this is why I started doing this.
01:16:29.000I know this is why a lot of you people like this show, and why you guys go out there in your AF hats and you go to the churches in New York or you go to Stop the Steal or Groyper War with the Rosary.
01:16:42.000It's because we really believe and we really care, and this stuff really matters.
01:16:46.000We're not above it all, we're not too cool for school saying, oh, you know, the real clear pill is not to even care.
01:17:37.000And if ever we forget that, we become like everybody else and we're no longer special.
01:17:43.000Point being is if we ever start to think we're too clever, we're more clever than God, and we begin to be clever and we begin to appeal to modern sensibilities and these kinds of things, we're going to become just another one of these factions.
01:18:48.000I know it might come across corny to some people, it's a little bit forthright, but, you know, but that's, and that's on being a real human being.
01:18:58.000People tell me all the time, you're an irony, bro.
01:19:01.000We can never tell when you're being serious.
01:19:04.000You know, I like to make jokes and everything, but I do this.
01:19:08.000I would be insane if I didn't have a good reason to do this.
01:19:11.000I would be an insane person to put up with the ridiculous things I have to put up with if I didn't have a very earnest and sincere reason.
01:19:21.000And the same goes for all of you, too.
01:19:24.000And in some sense, that's part of the salvation.
01:19:32.000We're blessed in that we have a reason to get up every day.
01:22:29.000I'm talking like this is an intense vomiting session, and it's White Castle, so it's just the worst.
01:22:37.000It's just like this brown goo, and I feel like trash.
01:22:44.000And so, I'm laying there with like a horrible stomach ache, and the hours are passing, and it's like I still gotta pack, I gotta do a few things, I gotta run an errand, and I'm and I missed the flight.
01:22:58.000I'm like, I can't, I can't make it, you know.
01:34:11.000How is it a coincidence that Roe v. Wade gets overturned the day we celebrate the e-secret heart of Jesus and the nativity of John the Baptist who leapt in his mother's womb?
01:46:38.000I love Roe v. Wade being overturned, but do you think it's kind of fucked up how some states are treating miscarriages as if they're abortions?
01:52:00.000Yeah, I don't want to have 15 minutes.
01:52:03.000You're going to do something that's going to be so tough.
01:52:05.000You know, all of my life I've heard that a truly successful person, a really, really successful person, and even modestly successful, cannot run for public office.
01:57:18.000Your bit about doing the right thing reminded me of how Clarence Thomas is only on the SC because of his grandparents who raised him when his parents couldn't, specifically his grandfather.
01:58:32.000Hey, Nick, sorry if this is a dumb question, but I heard Thomas' opinion could be extended to apply to the interracial marriage court ruling.
01:58:39.000Would you support a rollback of that decision too?
01:58:43.000Well, the question would be if there's a constitutional right for interracial marriage.
01:58:49.000I don't know what the legal precedent is on that one.
01:58:52.000I don't know about the legal history of that.
01:58:54.000I don't think that's a high priority one.
01:58:59.000And I don't know if the legal argument for that is the same, but I assume it would be similar.
01:59:20.000In the psychiatrist scene from The Departed, Leo says, I'm having panic attacks, I puked in a trash can.
01:59:27.000Maybe your puking issue is the constant anxiety from feds, doxing, etc.
01:59:32.000Yeah, but I don't have constant anxiety.
01:59:35.000So, you know, if that were the case, I would have been throwing up last year, but I wasn't throwing up last year, like at all.
01:59:41.000Like I said, I didn't throw up for a long time, and that was arguably the time when I was more stressed, when I was, uh,.
01:59:50.000You know, before Cozy and before the vax mandate, and even, you know, while the no fly list was ongoing, and, you know, there was more uncertainty about the DOJ investigation.
02:00:08.000So, no, I'm not really an anxious person.
02:00:11.000And to the extent that I am anxious, I'm definitely less anxious now than I was last year.
02:07:43.000And so your actions have an impact on everyone around you.
02:07:46.000And so much of what goes on is a result of momentum because everybody is already one way and everybody's imitating everybody who's already one way.
02:07:55.000And it's sort of this feedback loop, it's reciprocal.
02:07:59.000And the best way to, I think the best thing to do is just break the loop by being a steadfast Christian and being a leader and people will begin to imitate.
02:09:50.000Protestantism, in my opinion, lacks a foundation because it doesn't come from a church that Christ built.
02:10:00.000So, this lends itself to all these variations and deviations to the point where there's no grounding anymore.
02:10:09.000This is where you get, and they're obviously Protestants who agree with us on a lot of things, but they're also Protestants that have lesbian ministers.
02:10:16.000And you could say, well, my church doesn't have that.
02:10:18.000It's like, okay, but it's that break which is what led to that deviation in the other church.
02:10:32.000So, just because your denomination didn't go down that particular path doesn't mean that that problem is not still there.
02:10:40.000So, that's a big reason why, like everyone else, they have been influenced.
02:10:45.000And without that foundation, they've been pushed and pulled by lobbyists and media and all kinds of influence operations, like everyone else, in various directions.
02:10:56.000That's where you get some of these prosperity gospel people and Christian Zionists, and you get People that support like gay ministers or women ministers or, you know, just all this crazy stuff.
02:11:08.000You get all this different stuff because there's just no one saying, here's one authority.
02:11:14.000And it says, nope, it's not going to be like that.
02:11:17.000They don't run into any real resistance when people are being influenced in this way.
02:12:08.000That's why I can't get along with people, is because I am one of the most easily annoyed people in the world, and I cannot hide it even a little bit.
02:16:27.000I'm not going to say anything more than that.
02:16:29.000Make sure everything's all right because these people are insane and they're motivated by the devil and they know they can't win and they're pissed.
02:16:35.000So I know they've been warning about violence and.
