00:00:00.000 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. 0.64
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
00:00:36.100 because he is not from a swing state.
00:00:38.860 And you would expect someone as far left as Kamala Harris, as we talked about on Monday's 0.97
00:00:43.340 episode.
00:00:44.240 She was the farthest left member of Congress when she was in the Senate, the furthest left
00:00:49.520 senator.
00:00:51.240 And she is a radical in every sense of the word on every single issue.
00:00:55.900 She is as far left as you can possibly be.
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 0.88
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
00:01:21.600 really needs.
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
00:01:35.780 couple of weeks ago.
00:01:36.880 He had this very unifying, nonpartisan speech that he gave after that that I thought was very
00:01:43.100 honoring of this victim.
00:01:44.780 He could have been, I think, probably the smart pick for Kamala Harris.
00:01:50.860 But and this is good news for us.
00:01:53.340 It's good news for Team Trump.
00:01:55.060 She did not pick him.
00:01:56.200 She picked Tim Walls.
00:01:58.000 And Tim Walls is not only from deep blue Minnesota, which, as I said, is not a swing state.
00:02:03.700 He is also a radical himself.
00:02:07.420 In a post on X, Kamala Harris announced this morning, Tuesday morning, that Minnesota Governor
00:02:14.480 Tim Walls will be her running mate.
00:02:16.480 She said, I'm proud to announce that I've asked Tim Walls to be my running mate as a
00:02:19.700 governor, a coach, a teacher and a veteran.
00:02:21.820 He's delivered for working families like his.
00:02:24.420 It's great to have him on the team.
00:02:25.840 Now let's get to work.
00:02:26.860 Join us.
00:02:27.280 So it's clear what she is doing here.
00:02:28.940 She is vying for that constituency that I just described. 1.00
00:02:32.360 It's the same reason why Democrats chose Joe Biden and by Democrats choosing Joe Biden
00:02:38.460 in the primary for the 2020 election.
00:02:41.820 I'm not talking about Democratic voters.
00:02:43.460 I'm actually talking about the elites in the Democratic Party.
00:02:46.320 They chose Joe Biden.
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
00:02:55.880 appearance of being normal.
00:02:58.400 He is the appearance of just being a working class, moderate guy who cares about the blue
00:03:04.260 collar worker.
00:03:05.660 And so clearly that is who they are trying to appeal to with Tim Walls, just based on
00:03:10.040 the language that Kamala Harris used there.
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.
00:03:40.580 He beat the incumbent then.
00:03:42.420 He was reelected in 2008 again in 2010 and then on and on until 2016 and then elected as
00:03:48.040 the Minnesota governor in 2018.
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
00:04:02.800 riots that occurred in 2020.
00:04:05.020 We have a pretty good run that we can look at to assess what kind of politician, what kind
00:04:14.000 of person Tim Walls is.
00:04:15.580 So let's go through some of these moral issues and then the issues that have come up in particular
00:04:21.120 over the past five years.
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.
00:04:42.040 Thanks to Tim Walls in the state of Minnesota.
00:04:44.280 Now, people will say, well, it never, ever happens.
00:04:47.040 Women are never getting abortions at 40 weeks. 0.99
00:04:49.580 Well, shouldn't we protect them just in case?
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
00:05:01.740 in those later term abortions?
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
00:05:30.920 the Supreme Court.
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
00:05:41.040 health.
00:05:41.480 The reproducing has already happened.
00:05:43.520 You created this life.
00:05:44.800 This life has its own DNA.
00:05:46.140 It is a human being in every scientific way.
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.
00:06:11.700 This is the most evil thing you can stand for.
00:06:15.020 Tim Walls, just like Kamala Harris, is for the brutal murder of babies through all nine months 1.00
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 0.93
00:06:31.340 children may obtain irreversible transgender surgeries and sterilizing hormone treatments, 0.77
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.
00:06:54.420 That's disgusting.
00:06:55.820 While signing his executive order, Walls held the hand of a 12 year old boy who said he identified
00:07:01.120 as a girl.
00:07:01.780 What a pervert.
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.
00:07:28.480 There is no legal.
00:07:30.460 There is no legal way, according to this law, for other states to take actions against these
00:07:37.300 parents.
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 0.82
00:07:49.680 for healthy breasts or get chemically castrated if it is their son.
00:07:54.200 It is a refuge for killing children.
00:07:57.180 It is a refuge for brutalizing children outside of the womb who are deceived about their gender. 0.84
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 1.00
00:08:32.960 students and attacking teachers.
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.
00:08:45.320 You will not get SNAP benefits.
00:08:47.160 That's free school lunches for poor kids at your public school if you do not allow boys 1.00
00:08:52.460 into girls' bathrooms. 0.89
00:08:53.820 That's the Democratic Party.
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 1.00
00:09:02.940 rooms.
00:09:03.560 That's what he stands for.
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 0.88
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.
00:09:30.320 He did nothing.
00:09:30.920 Floyd died on May 25th.
00:09:33.100 The riots began on May 26th, resulting in more than $500 million in damages to the Twin
00:09:39.120 Cities, according to the Star Tribune.
00:09:41.540 But it's more than that.
00:09:42.540 It's more than just money.
00:09:43.580 We're talking about lives ruined.
00:09:45.300 We're talking about people killed.
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
00:09:58.000 to act violently.
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.
00:10:10.760 Yeah, that is on me.
00:10:12.760 That is on me.
00:10:14.340 Trump needs to play that over and over again with the depictions of the fire and the looting
00:10:21.740 and the riots in the background.
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
00:10:41.700 led to that grief and pain.
00:10:45.500 Absolutely ridiculous.
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 0.99
00:10:57.380 are brutally murdered and raped by illegal aliens. 0.97
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 0.95
00:11:10.140 from these countries to come into our border, come across our border illegally. 0.86
00:11:14.600 A lot of those people are going to be there.
00:11:19.140 They're not going to commit additional crimes in addition to crossing the border, but many of
00:11:24.020 them will.
00:11:24.500 We already have criminals who are citizens.
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
00:11:37.260 the benefits of citizenry.
00:11:38.980 That is such a radical position.
00:11:40.580 You are basically saying America is not a legitimate country because we don't recognize any special
00:11:45.120 right or privilege of your citizenship.
00:11:47.160 So America is not a sovereign country.
00:11:49.060 That's what Kamala Harris and Walls believe.
00:11:51.100 They are hellbent on the destruction of the United States.
00:11:53.800 That's what they have in common.
00:11:55.340 That's what Walls was chosen for.
00:11:59.380 When we look at COVID-19 and what a disaster that was for Minnesota, you guys who live in 0.76
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
00:12:14.780 position on those things.
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
00:12:26.360 violating social distancing guidelines.
00:12:28.540 I mean, how Orwellian is that?
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
00:12:53.300 House.
00:12:53.640 You're losing your freedoms.
00:12:55.180 You are losing your prosperity.
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 0.96
00:13:28.820 locker room, she will come after your right to criticize these things. 1.00
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.
00:13:46.360 It always leads to chaos.
00:13:48.020 It always leads to increased poverty.
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
00:14:00.100 targeted for arrest, they say.
00:14:02.540 And convictions for possession for decades are given preferential status in applying for cannabis
00:14:07.240 related business license.
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
00:14:23.400 population in Minnesota.
00:14:25.420 Also, he is very much supported by members of the squad like Ilhan Omar, who, of course,
00:14:31.800 is a far left radical, very anti-Israel.
00:14:34.660 And she chose this person who represents this large Muslim population over the Jewish governor
00:14:40.920 of Pennsylvania, who is pro-Israel.
00:14:43.600 And I think that's very notable that Kamala Harris is on the side of the pro-Palestinian
00:14:49.200 protesters.
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
00:15:01.940 stand for American strength.
00:15:03.800 Kamala Harris and Walz are for those things.
00:15:06.980 They support those people.
00:15:08.600 They are sympathetic towards those people.
00:15:10.160 That's why she chose Governor Walz.
00:15:12.240 And that is who they are.
00:15:14.660 That is who this ticket is.
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
00:15:40.020 demise of the United States.
00:15:41.360 I wish I were exaggerating, but I'm not.
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?
00:15:49.720 Absolutely.
00:15:50.660 God's will stands.
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
00:15:59.700 history.
00:16:00.380 We have always been on the margins.
00:16:03.940 We have always been a light in the darkness.
00:16:05.640 And so even as the darkness gets darker, we have an opportunity to shine even brighter.
00:16:10.260 And so I am not trying to steal your joy.
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
00:16:36.180 the policies that affect them.
00:16:37.600 Why?
00:16:37.940 Because politics matter, because policy matters, because people matter.
00:16:41.340 People matter to God.
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.
00:16:52.720 So get engaged.
00:16:53.740 Get your friends engaged.
00:16:54.980 Make sure you vote against this wicked ticket in November.
00:16:58.120 All right.
00:16:58.400 That's all we have time for.
00:16:59.580 On that, we will be back here tomorrow.
