Hey, guys, here is a little mini episode for you about the new pick for Kamala Harris as
00:00:16.420
she is running for president of the United States.
00:00:19.660
She is now running with Governor Tim Walls of Minnesota.
00:00:24.000
Now, this is an interesting pick, and we will get into specifically why.
00:00:28.260
But this is not your expected or typical pick when it comes to a VP nominee, and that is
00:00:38.860
And you would expect someone as far left as Kamala Harris, as we talked about on Monday's
00:00:44.240
She was the farthest left member of Congress when she was in the Senate, the furthest left
00:00:51.240
And she is a radical in every sense of the word on every single issue.
00:00:58.260
And so you would think to try to get the independent voters, the middle of the country voters that
00:01:02.560
she really needs to win, that she would pick someone that was a little more moderate, that
00:01:07.060
she would pick someone from a swing state even like Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania.
00:01:13.420
Josh Shapiro definitely has more appeal to that working class base, some of which Kamala Harris
00:01:22.340
He is certainly more moderate, especially his views on Israel.
00:01:25.680
He had that really great moment after the man died at the Trump rally when Trump was shot just a
00:01:36.880
He had this very unifying, nonpartisan speech that he gave after that that I thought was very
00:01:44.780
He could have been, I think, probably the smart pick for Kamala Harris.
00:01:58.000
And Tim Walls is not only from deep blue Minnesota, which, as I said, is not a swing state.
00:02:07.420
In a post on X, Kamala Harris announced this morning, Tuesday morning, that Minnesota Governor
00:02:16.480
She said, I'm proud to announce that I've asked Tim Walls to be my running mate as a
00:02:28.940
She is vying for that constituency that I just described.
00:02:32.360
It's the same reason why Democrats chose Joe Biden and by Democrats choosing Joe Biden
00:02:43.460
I'm actually talking about the elites in the Democratic Party.
00:02:47.660
They decided that he is going to have the broadest appeal.
00:02:50.380
He's going to be able to reach those middle America people the best because he has the
00:02:58.400
He is the appearance of just being a working class, moderate guy who cares about the blue
00:03:05.660
And so clearly that is who they are trying to appeal to with Tim Walls, just based on
00:03:12.600
However, when we look at who he is, that is just not an accurate description.
00:03:18.500
So he is he's a 60 year old white guy, but he has been a lefty for a very long time.
00:03:26.580
For example, the Star Tribune reported that in 1999, Walls served as the faculty advisor
00:03:31.740
for the Gay Straight Alliance Club at the school where he taught.
00:03:36.360
He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives as a Democrat in 2007.
00:03:42.420
He was reelected in 2008 again in 2010 and then on and on until 2016 and then elected as
00:03:50.440
So if you think about everything that has happened since 2018, not just where a country
00:03:55.600
has gone morally and with the sexual revolution, but also with covid, also with the race based
00:04:05.020
We have a pretty good run that we can look at to assess what kind of politician, what kind
00:04:15.580
So let's go through some of these moral issues and then the issues that have come up in particular
00:04:22.500
When we look at abortion, we can see a few things.
00:04:25.000
In January 2023, Walls signed into law, Minnesota legislation that includes no limitations
00:04:31.260
on when a woman may end the life of her unborn baby.
00:04:35.940
So through all nine months for any reason without apology, that is the law.
00:04:44.280
Now, people will say, well, it never, ever happens.
00:04:51.460
If that's the case, if that never, ever happens, shouldn't we put protections in place just
00:04:55.840
so those full term babies are not painfully slaughtered and dismembered, as is what happens
00:05:03.720
But no, he says it doesn't matter if you want to abort your 42 week baby.
00:05:07.820
It is legal in the state of Minnesota for any reason.
00:05:13.180
Walls said then of the so-called Protect Reproductive Options Act to Minnesotans, know that your
00:05:19.460
access to reproductive health, which, of course, is a euphemism, a misnomer, and your right
00:05:23.820
to make your own health care decisions are preserved and protected.
00:05:26.680
And because of this law, that won't change with the political winds and the makeup of
00:05:31.760
The legislation reads every individual has a fundamental right to make autonomous decisions
00:05:36.080
about the individual's own reproductive health, which, of course, abortion is not about reproductive
00:05:51.160
And yet you are saying that it should be legal to kill this child.
00:05:54.920
Do not delude yourself into thinking that this never happens or that this is somehow OK or that
00:05:59.600
this has to be legal until we do X, Y, Z, other policy or other welfare option, whatever it is.
00:06:05.660
You are wickedly lying to yourself if you are comforting yourself by that line of reasoning.
00:06:15.020
Tim Walls, just like Kamala Harris, is for the brutal murder of babies through all nine months
00:06:21.660
of pregnancy for any reason and paid for by the taxpayer.
00:06:25.820
When it comes to LGBTQ policy, Walls issued an executive order ensuring that Minnesota
00:06:31.340
children may obtain irreversible transgender surgeries and sterilizing hormone treatments,
00:06:36.420
which proponents call, quote unquote, gender affirming care.
00:06:39.400
The measures made Minnesota a, quote, trans refuge supporters of the law said Walls signed a law
00:06:46.760
putting menstrual products in boys bathrooms from grades fourth through twelfth grade.
00:06:55.820
While signing his executive order, Walls held the hand of a 12 year old boy who said he identified
00:07:03.480
Walls' executive order prevents other states from taking child protection action against
00:07:07.880
parents who help their children, quote unquote, transition to a boy or a girl.
00:07:12.240
So if parents decide they are going to go along with their son saying that they are Sally and
00:07:19.260
the parent says, OK, sure, you can get these drugs that will chemically castrate you,
00:07:24.420
that will render you infertile for the rest of your life.
00:07:30.460
There is no legal way, according to this law, for other states to take actions against these
00:07:38.020
And so what that means is parents can travel from, say, the state of Arkansas or conservative
00:07:43.080
state to Minnesota to make sure that their minor daughter can get a double mastectomy to cut off both
00:07:49.680
for healthy breasts or get chemically castrated if it is their son.
00:07:57.180
It is a refuge for brutalizing children outside of the womb who are deceived about their gender.
00:08:02.240
That is the state of Minnesota under Governor Tim Walls.
00:08:07.460
He also posted support for the book called Gender Queer in 2023 when Florida was pushing back
00:08:16.980
against these pornographic materials being given to children in schools.
00:08:21.580
He responds to Florida's actions by saying, ridiculous, while we're focused on banishing
00:08:27.100
hunger with free breakfast and lunch, they're focused on banning books, bullying LGBTQ plus
00:08:35.100
Well, that is laughable considering it's the Democrats under Joe Biden, his Department
00:08:40.680
of Agriculture that said you will not get SNAP benefits, as we talked about on Monday.
00:08:47.160
That's free school lunches for poor kids at your public school if you do not allow boys
00:08:55.480
Don't believe all of this nonsense that says that they care about feeding children.
00:08:59.200
They might care about feeding children only if you allow boys into girls' locker
00:09:04.720
That's what the Harris Walls ticket stands for.
00:09:07.400
And then, of course, if you look at the Black Lives Matter riots, that movement that was
00:09:13.780
happening in 2020, of course, George Floyd died around Minneapolis.
00:09:19.800
And so that's where many of these riots started.
00:09:23.080
When rioters burned and looted the Minnesota cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul following the
00:09:27.460
death of George Floyd, Walls waited days to act.
00:09:33.100
The riots began on May 26th, resulting in more than $500 million in damages to the Twin
00:09:46.600
We're talking about poor people that weren't able to access the things that they need to
00:09:50.440
survive in those towns because they were being ransacked by the people that Governor Walls allowed
00:10:01.180
Walls waited until May 28th to deploy the National Guard.
00:10:05.120
Walls accepted some responsibility for the violence and chaos.
00:10:07.620
He said, I, if the issue was the state should have moved faster.
00:10:14.340
Trump needs to play that over and over again with the depictions of the fire and the looting
00:10:23.740
Walls saying that is on me as Minnesota burned to the ground.
00:10:28.620
But Walls expressed sympathy for these anti-police rioters in a May 29th press conference.
00:10:34.640
He says the very tools that we need to use to get to control to make sure that buildings
00:10:38.220
aren't burned and the rule of law collapses are those very institutional tools that have
00:10:47.580
Also on illegal immigration, Walls and Kamala Harris, they're working hand in hand to make
00:10:53.000
sure that the border is open, that there are more Lakin Reillies, more young women that
00:10:57.380
are brutally murdered and raped by illegal aliens.
00:11:01.100
As Governor, Walls signed several pieces of legislation to provide state funded health
00:11:05.200
care, driver's license and free college tuition to illegal aliens that is incentivizing people
00:11:10.140
from these countries to come into our border, come across our border illegally.
00:11:19.140
They're not going to commit additional crimes in addition to crossing the border, but many of
00:11:27.580
The last thing we do is add more criminals who are not citizens, who we can't even track
00:11:33.340
and who we are encouraging and incentivizing to come over the border by giving them all
00:11:40.580
You are basically saying America is not a legitimate country because we don't recognize any special
00:11:51.100
They are hellbent on the destruction of the United States.
00:11:59.380
When we look at COVID-19 and what a disaster that was for Minnesota, you guys who live in
00:12:03.960
Minnesota, you know that how your kids had to miss out on schools and how many of them,
00:12:09.520
especially special needs kids, regressed so much because of school shutdowns and his radical
00:12:15.940
He used emergency powers during the pandemic, including the institution of mask mandates,
00:12:21.020
shutting down businesses, also a hotline number, a hotline number established to report people
00:12:30.660
The Upper Midwest Law Center filed several lawsuits against Walls for misinterpreting the Minnesota
00:12:35.260
Emergency Management Act and illegally bypassing state lawmakers when issuing a peacetime emergency.
00:12:41.440
He also made all state employees get the vaccine or they were fired.
00:12:46.060
So just imagine what life would be like in America if Kamala Harris and this guy, Walls, are in the White
00:12:59.640
Every economic policy that they have encourages even more inflation.
00:13:05.480
You are losing any sense of stability or peace that we can hope to have and that we did have under Donald Trump.
00:13:12.980
You are looking at a loss of your free speech rights, your freedom of religion rights, especially in a pandemic.
00:13:19.120
But as we talked about on Monday with Kamala Harris, she is after those rights no matter what.
00:13:23.620
If they stand in the way of abortion, if they stand in the way of a man going into a girl's
00:13:28.820
locker room, she will come after your right to criticize these things.
00:13:34.680
He also just signed into law last year the legalization of marijuana, as we've talked about
00:13:42.420
quite a few times, that always leads to disarray.
00:13:51.680
Minnesotans with minor marijuana convictions are also eligible to have their criminal records
00:13:55.920
expunged in residence from communities of color, so-called, which were disproportionately
00:14:02.540
And convictions for possession for decades are given preferential status in applying for cannabis
00:14:10.060
I mean, that's just a great way to actually further decimate that community there.
00:14:14.920
Now, it is also notable that she chose someone who represents a very large Muslim, Somali Muslim
00:14:25.420
Also, he is very much supported by members of the squad like Ilhan Omar, who, of course,
00:14:34.660
And she chose this person who represents this large Muslim population over the Jewish governor
00:14:43.600
And I think that's very notable that Kamala Harris is on the side of the pro-Palestinian
00:14:49.880
So is Governor Walz, the people who were burning American flags, who have desecrated our college
00:14:55.780
campuses, desecrated our Capitol, desecrated the Liberty Bell, desecrated these symbols that
00:15:17.240
And so if your friends weren't previously motivated to make sure that they are voting for Trump
00:15:22.860
in advance, voting against this ticket, at the very least, even if they don't like who's
00:15:27.520
on the Republican ticket, we're never going to have a perfect candidate, by the way, at least
00:15:33.200
allow them to be mobilized against this radical far left ticket that will precipitate the
00:15:43.620
Now, is God absolutely sovereign and in control?
00:15:46.180
Is Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever?
00:15:51.920
The eternal plan of redemption is always going off without a hitch.
00:15:54.200
We always have a reason to rejoice because Christians have always had it hard in our 2,000-year
00:16:05.640
And so even as the darkness gets darker, we have an opportunity to shine even brighter.
00:16:12.360
I am trying to lay out how serious this is that, yes, Jesus is coming back.
00:16:16.740
He claims the victory, but we're not there yet.
00:16:18.960
And therefore, we do have a responsibility to make the world around us better.
00:16:23.800
We were not placed here arbitrarily or accidentally.
00:16:26.660
We are exiles in this world, but we are called to be good citizens.
00:16:30.500
One way, not the only way, but one way to love our neighbor is to vote, is to care about
00:16:37.940
Because politics matter, because policy matters, because people matter.
00:16:42.280
They matter to us right here in this life, not just in the eternal, but right now.
00:16:48.840
And however much we might not like politics, that's just the reality.
00:16:54.980
Make sure you vote against this wicked ticket in November.
