Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 1053 ｜ DNC’s Free Abortions, ‘Evangelicals for Harris’’s Bad Theology

00:00:00.000 The Democrat National Convention is happening this week in Chicago, and Planned Parenthood

00:00:05.960 is there offering free abortions.

00:00:09.920 We are also responding to the Evangelicals for Harris Zoom call spouting some of the

00:00:16.500 worst and most dangerous theology that I have ever heard.

00:01:14.720 Hey, guys.

00:01:25.420 Welcome to Relatable.

00:01:26.960 Happy Monday.

00:01:28.500 Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.

00:01:30.960 There might be some of you who have never tuned into the podcast before.

00:01:35.340 This is your first time, and you might have found me through an article in The Atlantic

00:01:39.860 that was published on Friday morning.

00:01:42.040 It was a profile on yours truly, and I've got some things to say about it.

00:01:46.960 I don't have time to get to it today.

00:01:48.820 We've got too much to get into.

00:01:51.140 Today is a Monday, which means we are focusing on politics, and so I will have some more time

00:01:56.700 tomorrow.

00:01:57.700 I will respond to some things good in maybe what I consider a misrepresentation in the

00:02:03.320 article tomorrow, and also why I think it should be really encouraging for all of you

00:02:07.040 who have been tuning in to Relatable for a long time and what it means that God can do

00:02:14.060 through our voices in the culture.

00:02:16.760 And so we'll talk about that as well as it ends with us tomorrow.

00:02:21.600 Tomorrow, we'll focus a little bit more on culture and a couple other things going on.

00:02:26.520 But today, it is a Monday.

00:02:28.280 We've got to focus on what is going on in the election.

00:02:31.380 Also, I know it doesn't look and sound as professional as my typical podcast episodes

00:02:37.560 do.

00:02:37.940 That is because I am remote right now, and so today's episode, tomorrow's episode, will

00:02:44.920 look and sound like this.

00:02:46.260 Thank you all for being patient and for bearing with us.

00:02:49.700 All right.

00:02:50.140 So today is the start of the Democratic National Convention.

00:02:55.540 Democrats are gathering in Chicago, Illinois this week for the 2024 Democratic National Convention.

00:03:01.360 begins today.

00:03:02.820 It runs through Thursday.

00:03:04.440 Governor Tim Walz will deliver the vice presidential acceptance speech on Wednesday, with Harris

00:03:09.360 delivering her presidential acceptance speech on Thursday.

00:03:12.340 That is assuming that they are going to be the nominees, and I think it's pretty safe to

00:03:18.120 assume that at this point.

00:03:19.860 So far, they've been the presumptive nominees.

00:03:22.300 So that means that when she announced that she was running, Biden said he's stepping out of

00:03:27.160 the race.

00:03:27.700 Then she picked her vice presidential candidate. 0.99

00:03:31.500 That meant that they were candidates for the nomination.

00:03:35.140 A lot of people ask me, wait, no one voted for this.

00:03:37.940 How are they already the nominees, according to the press and according to a lot of Democrats?

00:03:43.640 That's because she doesn't really have any challengers.

00:03:46.740 She has been the presumptive nominee, but she hasn't been so far the official nominee.

00:03:51.680 After this week, she will be the official nominee.

00:03:54.060 I don't think that there is going to be an upset there.

00:03:57.500 I do think that her and Walz will be officially on the ticket after this week.

00:04:02.480 President Biden is also set to speak tonight, along with Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.

00:04:08.040 Brandon Johnson is quite the left-wing radical.

00:04:12.060 Other confirmed speakers include second gentleman Doug Imhoff, a former president, Barack Obama,

00:04:17.520 former president, Bill Clinton, former secretary of state, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

00:04:23.280 It's so interesting that Bill Clinton gets as much grace as he does, considering his own background and all of the criticism that is lodged at Donald Trump about his history with women and some of the accusations that had been made against him can be made equally against Bill Clinton.

00:04:41.120 And yet he is still hoisted up as a hero because at the end of the day, all of this identity politics stuff, all of this politics of character and integrity and normalcy, that kind of rhetoric that you hear a lot from the Democrats, it's a facade.

00:04:57.260 It's vapid.

00:04:58.660 It's not substantive.

00:05:00.300 They don't actually mean it.

00:05:01.620 At the end of the day, they are going to fight for and applaud their political allies.

00:05:07.600 It really just comes down to what policies you represent and the kind of vibes that you give off.

00:05:16.880 Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

00:05:22.380 The convention's overall theme is For the People, For Our Future.

00:05:26.900 So tonight will be For the People.

00:05:29.100 As I said, President Biden will be speaking.

00:05:31.180 Tuesday, A Bold Vision for America's Future.

00:05:33.980 Wednesday, A Fight for Our Freedoms.

00:05:36.040 This is one to look out for.

00:05:37.720 If you tune into any of this, I would tune in on Wednesday.

00:05:40.880 I guarantee, as we will talk about more today, every single night is going to have something to do with abortion. 0.60

00:05:47.020 But especially on Wednesday, it's called A Fight for Our Freedoms.

00:05:50.920 That is the theme of the night.

00:05:53.400 Walls will address the convention focusing on retaining the rights that Democrats say have been stripped away under Republican administrations, including reproductive rights and others.

00:06:04.260 And just to pause there, because we've talked about this before, but Walls and Harris are running on freedom.

00:06:12.900 They understand that most Democrat policies, the most radical Democrat policies that both Walls and Harris, according to their records, represent, are not really popular with the American people.

00:06:25.000 And so they have to use these kinds of euphemisms like bodily autonomy or reproductive rights and even complete misnomers when it comes to the policies they represent, like freedom.

00:06:38.720 We know that they don't actually care about our constitutional freedoms, our actual fundamental freedoms.

00:06:45.920 When they talk about freedom, what they are talking about is sexual libertinism and the right to kill your baby.

00:06:55.220 So on this night, on Wednesday, when Tim Walls says we've got to fight for our freedoms and the freedoms that are being taken away from us by Republicans, what they mean is sexual libertinism and abortion.

00:07:08.500 Those are the only two freedoms that they're talking about.

00:07:10.780 He's not talking about freedom of speech.

00:07:12.540 He's not talking about freedom of religion.

00:07:14.200 He's not talking about freedom of protest.

00:07:16.340 They're talking about the freedom to mutilate a person and especially a child's body who says that they are confused about their gender.

00:07:24.580 They're talking about the freedom to talk about gender transition and sexual confusion in the classroom.

00:07:31.140 They're talking about the freedom to have your baby poisoned or dismembered.

00:07:34.860 These are the only freedoms they're talking about.

00:07:36.940 So when they say that they are the ticket for freedom or the ticket that represents freedom, they're talking about freedom to do those two things.

00:07:44.040 When we look at the record, as we have talked about already, of Harris and Walls, we know that they will not fight, that they do not fight, that they have not fought for our constitutional freedoms.

00:07:56.360 When we look at Kamala Harris and her record as Attorney General of California, I've actually got an article up today in the Christian Post about this and about her record of just trampling on constitutional freedoms and service of the abortion lobby. 1.00

00:08:11.660 When she was Attorney General of California, she pushed the FACT Act, which would have forced pregnancy centers to advertise for abortion. 0.97

00:08:23.260 These are pro-life pregnancy centers offering women real life-affirming options.

00:08:27.740 The FACT Act would have forced them to promote abortion. 0.93

00:08:31.600 Of course, that was overturned by the Supreme Court because it is an obvious violation of the First Amendment.

00:08:38.220 Also, when she was Attorney General of California, she went after David Daleiden.

00:08:42.460 David Daleiden was the pro-life journalist who uncovered through undercover journalism some Planned Parenthood employees saying that they were interested in a pay-for-play scheme where they would get paid for offering the body parts of unborn children.

00:09:01.520 Instead of investigating Planned Parenthood, Kamala Harris sicked state authorities on David Daleiden so that they invaded his apartment and seized the evidence that he had. 1.00

00:09:12.560 And so she doesn't care about our constitutional rights. 0.71

00:09:15.880 She doesn't care about our First Amendment rights. 1.00

00:09:17.700 She cares about abortion. 0.99

00:09:19.360 She cares about the LGBTQ lobby.

00:09:21.520 When Tim Walz was governor of Minnesota, he said that churches have to cap their attendance at just 10 people.

00:09:32.560 Meanwhile, abortion facilities were able to continue to operate at full scale.

00:09:39.060 And again, this was challenged in the courts and the challengers, the churches and the religious organizations won.

00:09:45.220 Because again, this is a clear violation of the First Amendment.

00:09:48.140 And so just remember that when they're talking about freedom, those are the things that they're talking about.

00:09:54.000 They're talking about abortion.

00:09:55.500 They're talking about sexual libertinism.

00:09:58.500 They're not talking about the fundamental rights that have to exist for our republic to survive and thrive.

00:10:05.820 They're not talking about the right that a child has to not be murdered.

00:10:10.120 They're not talking about your right to worship and to protest as you see fit.

00:10:14.800 Remember that the Biden DOJ has put peaceful pro-life protesters and grandmothers who are peaceful pro-life protesters in prison for years.

00:10:26.720 We're talking about men and women in their 70s and their late 70s who are now going to be in prison maybe for the rest of their lives because they peacefully blocked an interest, an entrance to a murder mill, aka an abortion clinic.

00:10:40.520 And so just remember that, that this is not the party of freedom.

00:10:45.180 This is not the platform of freedom.

00:10:46.780 This is not the ticket of freedom.

00:10:48.620 This is the ticket of abortion through all nine months for any reason paid for by the taxpayer.

00:10:54.960 This is the ticket that will trample on your First Amendment rights if you disagree with the radical claims and agenda of the LGBTQ lobby. 0.88

00:11:05.740 So just a note there, I want to get into just a little bit the significance of Chicago and the significance of this particular DNC and the historical parallels that I think we see at least somewhat and then what it tells us about what we can expect this time.

00:11:24.160 All right, quick pause to tell you about our first sponsor.

00:11:30.400 It's WeHeart Nutrition.

00:11:32.120 This is the company that I get all of my supplements from.

00:11:35.020 They are a Christian pro-life company.

00:11:37.800 They are completely unashamed about their values.

00:11:40.540 They put it at the forefront.

00:11:41.820 This is also a family-owned company.

00:11:43.600 They're relatable viewers.

00:11:45.160 And I just love them so much.

00:11:46.800 And I really love their products.

00:11:48.460 They are so high quality.

00:11:49.720 All of their ingredients come in the most bioavailable form.

00:11:52.320 So they really do work.

00:11:55.080 Like your body absorbs them really well.

00:11:57.000 I take their postnatal supplement, their omega-3s.

00:11:59.760 I take their iron supplement.

00:12:01.500 I've always been a little anemic, and this has been a game changer for me.

00:12:04.600 I also always take the magnesium before bed to promote restfulness.

00:12:08.940 And I just love their vitamins.

00:12:11.040 I really think that they keep me healthy.

00:12:13.200 My hair, my nails, my skin really healthy.

00:12:15.800 You can take a 20-second quiz so that they can personalize your vitamin regimen for you.

00:12:32.580 What's interesting about Democrats choosing Chicago?

00:12:36.000 There's a couple reasons why this is interesting.

00:12:38.400 One, all conventions, both for Republicans and Democrats, since at least 2008, have been in a swing state.

00:12:45.180 So, for example, in 2020, the RNC was in Charlotte, North Carolina.

00:12:49.960 North Carolina has become increasingly purple.

00:12:53.640 The DNC was held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 2020.

00:12:57.900 It was mostly virtual.

00:12:59.780 That's also where the RNC was this year a few weeks ago.

00:13:03.880 Illinois at this point is not a swing state.

00:13:06.420 Chicago is also an interesting choice because of the proximity to Milwaukee.

00:13:11.180 Milwaukee, it's not really usual for conventions of each party to be that close to each other geographically in the same year.

00:13:19.640 But Chicago has hosted more party conventions than any other city.

00:13:25.520 Last hosted the RNC in 1960.

00:13:29.740 So it's been a long time.

00:13:30.740 And then they last hosted the DNC in 1996 when Clinton and Gore were re-nominated by the Democrats.

00:13:37.720 Chicago also hosted the DNC in 1968.

00:13:43.020 And as you heard Glenn Beck talk about on my show a couple weeks ago, there are many parallels between 1968 and today.

00:13:50.440 It's not an exact comparison, but there are certainly some similarities.

00:13:54.840 So LBJ was the incumbent at the time.

00:13:57.580 He just announced that he would not be seeking re-election.

00:14:00.180 I think it was like a week before the DNC.

00:14:02.740 So this just added to the chaos that was already going on in the background in America.

00:14:07.740 There were massive protests surrounding the DNC that had to do with the U.S.'s involvement in Vietnam.

00:14:15.420 The assassination of RFK had just happened in June.

00:14:21.120 He was a primary candidate and he had just been murdered a couple months before.

00:14:25.840 And the assassination of MLK Jr. in April of that year.

00:14:30.720 So there was a lot of civil unrest.

00:14:33.420 There was a lot of racial tension going on.

00:14:35.620 A lot of chaos.

00:14:36.460 I think people probably thought then this was like end of empire kind of stuff going on.

00:14:42.220 And I'm sure there were a lot of Baptists out there. 0.60

00:14:46.100 I say this as a Baptist who were like, OK, we've got the prophecies being fulfilled right now.

00:14:51.900 It is almost the end of time.

00:14:55.060 It's reported that this year there will be 100,000 or more anti-Israel protesters and rioters in Chicago this week outside the DNC.

00:15:05.660 The businesses are boarding up their windows in anticipation of this violence.

00:15:10.940 And then you've got the Chicago mayor, as I said, Brandon Johnson.

00:15:13.840 He's a left-wing radical.

00:15:15.500 You've got Illinois governor.

00:15:17.080 They're both Democrats saying that, oh, these are mostly peaceful protesters.

00:15:20.720 But you've seen the footage.

00:15:22.680 We've talked about it.

00:15:23.960 We know these people are burning American flags.

00:15:26.700 They're desecrating American monuments like the Liberty Bell.

00:15:30.260 They're burning the Israeli flag.

00:15:32.680 These are absolutely not peaceful people.

00:15:34.880 The reason why they're mostly protesting outside the DNC rather than, say, outside the RNC, even though many of them are going to vote for Kamala Harris, is because they know that the DNC is actually susceptible to succumbing to that kind of pressure.

00:15:52.100 They know that the DNC is more likely to be pro-Hamas than Republicans are.

00:15:57.200 And so that's why they're using whatever power and influence they have to get Kamala Harris on their side, which I think it's very likely that she will be.

00:16:05.900 So lots of chaos in 1968.

00:16:09.480 Lots of chaos today.

00:16:11.000 Now, Glenn Beck, on the show, he said that there is not only going to be chaos outside of the DNC, but also on the convention floor.

00:16:23.220 Remember, delegates are voting for the nominee.

00:16:26.960 That's where this process is happening.

00:16:29.280 And we didn't have all of the information then when Glenn was on the show, as we do now.

00:16:34.040 And with the information that we had then, he predicted that it wouldn't be Kamala because Obama hadn't endorsed her yet.

00:16:44.600 But it was hard to understand at that point, still is in some ways, how someone with such low favorability like Kamala Harris could gain enough to actually be the nominee, could gain enough support to get the excitement that would be necessary for the Democratic Party to get behind her.

00:17:03.920 According to FiveThirtyEight, at the end of June, she had a 36 percent favorability rating.

00:17:09.100 And that is very similar, by the way, to what Mike Pence had about this time.

00:17:15.400 And that was 2020.

00:17:16.640 Like, imagine, I mean, think about everything that was happening in 2020.

00:17:20.820 So he had about a 36 percent, I think even a little bit more favorability rating at the time.

00:17:27.000 And Kamala Harris, this person that we're supposed to believe is so popular, she, before the assassination attempt,

00:17:35.020 before she announced her candidacy, had a 36 percent favorability rating.

00:17:42.280 Now she is at 44 percent.

00:17:45.540 And this is, this surge, I know that still sounds low, but that's a big upswing in a short amount of time.

00:17:52.160 This surge is strictly because of media framing, the media pushing her as something that she has never been seen as,

00:18:00.320 which is this commanding, persuasive, likable leader.

00:18:04.740 You remember when she ran for president in 2020, she got absolutely nowhere. 0.98

00:18:09.220 She was too radical.

00:18:10.600 She didn't have any stage presence. 1.00

00:18:12.540 She came across as deeply unlikable.

00:18:15.900 But now we're supposed to believe that she is this dynamic, commanding presence,

00:18:20.040 that she knows what she's talking about, that she knows what she's doing.

00:18:23.060 You'll see over and over again, the media keeps saying that Trump and Vance are stoking fear through their campaign,

00:18:30.860 and Kamala and Walls are waging a campaign of joy.

00:18:35.400 That's what they keep saying, joy, joy, joy, over and over again.

00:18:39.300 Of course, they think their policy proposals, who they are, and even their rhetoric completely belies that media framing.

00:18:45.940 But if they say it enough, they know enough, people will believe them.

00:18:49.060 And there's a reason why her handlers, her advisors, don't let her do interviews.

00:18:55.580 She has not been talking to the press.

00:18:58.520 She's barely had any extemporaneous interactions with them.

00:19:02.780 She rarely speaks spontaneously at all, even from the stage.

00:19:06.260 When she does, it's very hard to listen to.

00:19:09.920 And look, maybe that's a good strategy.

00:19:11.900 I can't say that I'm necessarily faulting them for that.

00:19:14.720 They want to win.

00:19:15.660 They know that if they unleash Kamala, that they cannot win.

00:19:19.520 And so they're being very careful and very guarded about what they let her do and what they let her say.

00:19:25.580 Now, if we had a press that was actually interested and even feigning objectivity,

00:19:31.720 she would not have the energy surrounding her as she does right now.

00:19:36.720 Because as the media well knows, as the Democratic Party well knows, her policy proposals, which, in her words, this is not hyperbole.

00:19:46.160 They are unlimited abortion paid for by the taxpayers.

00:19:49.400 We'll get into it in a second.

00:19:51.000 Price caps and into fracking, banning private health insurance.

00:19:55.580 They're not popular.

00:19:56.880 Most Americans don't want those things.

00:19:58.360 That's why she chose Tim Walz.

00:20:00.140 That's why she's running on freedom, because these are just kind of signals to middle America and the moderate independent that, hey, I'm not going to be that radical.

00:20:10.500 I know that people have called me Kamala the communist.

00:20:14.080 I know that my record is absolutely extreme and that I have been rated the furthest left senator when I was in the Senate.

00:20:26.000 But no, that's not me.

00:20:27.500 That's that's the old me.

00:20:29.140 That's not me anymore.

00:20:30.440 I'm going to bring this country together.

00:20:31.920 I'm going to be completely middle of the road.

00:20:33.500 It's the same thing Joe Biden did.

00:20:35.760 And hey, again, it might be an effective strategy.

00:20:38.120 But you as a thinking person need to understand that it is not true.

00:20:43.200 It is a false representation of who she is, who she has been and who she will be as president.

00:20:49.460 Okay, for those of you who have teenagers and you're wondering, what the heck am I going to do for college?

00:20:59.340 I don't want to send my kid to this communist indoctrination factory and for them to learn all of these values that are opposed to the values that we have spent 18 years instilling in them.

00:21:11.360 You need to check out Hillsdale.

00:21:14.000 Well, Hillsdale College is an amazing university that really has Christian values.

00:21:19.440 And also they're offering more than 40 free online courses right now in the most important and enduring subject, of course, that is theology.

00:21:27.760 You can learn about the works of C.S. Lewis, the stories in the book of Genesis, the meaning of the U.S. Constitution, even the rise and fall of the Roman Republic.

00:21:36.680 That's probably pertinent right now.

00:21:38.700 All kinds of things.

00:21:39.760 All of the stuff is available totally for free through Hillsdale College.

00:21:43.100 So if you want to learn more about them, see what they're all about, go ahead and enroll for one of these courses.

00:21:47.780 Go to hillsdale.edu slash relatable to enroll hillsdale.edu slash relatable.

00:21:58.260 Now, in 1968, the vice president, Hubert Humphrey and Senator Edmund Muskie were nominated, but they lost her Richard Nixon in the general election.

00:22:09.780 Nixon was elected by what he called in 1969.

00:22:12.160 He didn't come up with this phrase, but he popularized it.

00:22:15.880 He won by the silent majority, those who weren't going along with the progressive revolution, but also weren't vocal voices in public discourse, weren't represented by the media.

00:22:27.080 I certainly think that we still have a level of that in the United States, definitely.

00:22:32.800 There are people who are going to vote for Trump and hold their nose.

00:22:36.300 There's people who just don't like to talk about politics but are going to vote for Trump.

00:22:40.480 There are people who just aren't represented by the media who maybe are talking about it, but they just don't have big platforms and large voices.

00:22:46.840 I think that there are probably celebrities and athletes and very influential people who are really conservative and are going to vote for Donald Trump and who just aren't going to talk about it.

00:22:58.620 So I think that that exists.

00:23:00.880 Do I think that we should hang our hat on that?

00:23:03.100 Do I think we should put our hope there?

00:23:04.600 No, because what you want is to have a candidate that doesn't make people feel like they need to be silent.

00:23:10.680 Now, maybe you could say it's not Trump's fault.

00:23:12.520 Maybe it's the media's fault, academia's fault, all of these cultural megaphones out there who are making you feel like you're a bigot if you don't want to vote for a radical leftist like Kamala Harris and Tim Walls.

00:23:23.180 But we still don't want – we don't want it to be made so hard for a conservative to say, yes, I am enthusiastically voting for this person.

00:23:37.280 So if you're in that bucket and you're like, look, I just wish that I could have a candidate that I'm excited about, I do have a message for you at the end of this.

00:23:47.400 But basically, without burying the lead, what we have to focus on is not the person because we have two very flawed people.

00:23:56.740 They could go tit for tat on their moral issues.

00:24:00.140 But we have to focus on the policies.

00:24:03.240 Enthusiastically vote for one set of policies and against another set of policies.

00:24:08.200 What you'll notice, speaking of policies, that if you look at the 1968 Democratic Party platform, is that there's no mention of abortion.

00:24:19.400 Of course, this was before Roe v. Wade and before a lot of abortion politics, but abortion was heavily restricted pre-Roe, especially before the 1960s.

00:24:29.060 Leftists like to act like conservatives all of a sudden, evangelicals all of a sudden made this political issue out of thin air just to grab for power.

00:24:36.780 But that's not true.

00:24:39.460 I mean, this became a big issue after Roe v. Wade changed the landscape and after the sexual revolution really changed how people thought about reproduction and abortion and what counts as a quote unquote woman's right.

00:24:55.580 Before the 60s and 70s, it was broadly accepted that killing an unborn child should be illegal.

00:25:02.840 I'm not saying there was 100 percent consensus on that, but that was the prevailing opinion, the prevailing perspective at the time.

00:25:12.300 So, again, it wasn't the right that changed.

00:25:14.120 It was the left that changed and the right responded to that change.

00:25:18.640 But the platform that they will be voting on this year, the Democrat National Convention, it's available online and the quote unquote right to abortion is a central part of that.

00:25:28.940 So, if you look at the segment on quote unquote reproductive health, and the reason I say it like that is because reproductive health, when you're talking about abortion, is a euphemism.

00:25:38.800 If you're having an abortion, then reproduction has already happened. 0.79

00:25:42.420 No one's stopping you from reproducing.

00:25:44.380 No one's forcing you to reproduce.

00:25:46.260 No one is telling you that you should have unprotected sex, that you have to have unprotected sex.

00:25:50.620 Like, no one is controlling your actual reproduction.

00:25:55.960 So, abortion doesn't count in reproductive health. 1.00

00:25:59.560 The reproduction has already happened.

00:26:02.080 You have a unique life with unique DNA, and it is a human being scientifically.

00:26:07.800 And if it is a human being, then there is no moral, no philosophical reason why that human being should not have a right not to be murdered in the same way that you and I have a right not to be murdered.

00:26:18.400 That is a fundamental right.

00:26:20.620 And so, you'll see in this DNC platform, they say, this is a fundamental right.

00:26:24.480 The right to kill your child, the right to abortion is a fundamental right. 1.00

00:26:27.760 No, no, no, it's not.

00:26:29.080 It's actually not a constitutional right.

00:26:30.980 It's nowhere in the Constitution.

00:26:33.100 What is a fundamental right is the right to life.

00:26:36.220 Because without the right to life, none of the other rights even matter or exist.

00:26:41.180 That's why, in the Declaration of Independence, we read that we are guaranteed the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

00:26:50.060 That ordering is not arbitrary.

00:26:51.960 You can't have all of this liberty and freedom that Walls and Harris say that they stand for without the right to life.

00:26:59.820 It precedes all of that.

00:27:01.620 It precedes all of that logically and in importance.

00:27:04.400 And, of course, morally and biblically as well, that life inside the womb is no less a human being because it is small, because it is less developed, because it is less sentient.

00:27:15.180 If you apply all of those standards to people inside the womb as justifications for their murder, then why don't you apply those standards to people outside of the womb?

00:27:23.740 Do you think we should be able to murder someone because they have a hard life, because they're poor, because they're abused, because they're unwanted, because they're small, because they're less smart, because they can't fight for themselves?

00:27:35.300 You wouldn't use those as justifications to kill a five-year-old, right?

00:27:38.880 Even though they're smaller, less powerful, and less knowledgeable than a 16-year-old?

00:27:46.620 Of course not.

00:27:47.280 That's how ridiculous it is morally, logically, to say that a child inside the womb, because of its location or size or stage of development, deserves to be murdered, to be torn apart with forceps, to be poisoned with medication.

00:28:02.240 It is a barbaric position that is a central piece of Kamala Harris's campaign. 1.00

00:28:09.740 It's also a central piece to the Democratic Party in general.

00:28:13.540 So the platform says this.

00:28:18.920 It says, Trump's Supreme Court appointees overturned Roe v. Wade, eliminating a fundamental constitutional right.

00:28:25.960 That's not what it did.

00:28:27.500 It said this is a state issue, which I disagree that it's a state's issue, but that's what it decided.

00:28:33.980 And denying women across the nation the right to choose. 0.94

00:28:37.580 The extreme act of overturning Roe, it wasn't extreme.

00:28:40.860 Of course, they're not making constitutional arguments here because they are activists.

00:28:45.620 They don't care about the Constitution, which had been the law of the land for nearly half a century.

00:28:49.540 That's also not true.

00:28:51.500 Has already had devastating consequences nationwide.

00:28:55.340 Really, according to CNN, over 30,000 babies have not been aborted because of the overturning of Roe and the consequential restrictions on abortion that have been able to be passed by states.

00:29:06.540 And they see that as dangerous.

00:29:11.140 They see that as devastating.

00:29:12.980 They also talk about IVF, which we've talked about many times on this show.

00:29:16.140 We don't have time to get into all of that.

00:29:18.140 But this platform says Trump has refused to commit to vetoing the Life at Conception Act.

00:29:23.760 It is Life at Conception, by the way, a national abortion ban that threatens IVF access nationwide.

00:29:30.400 And his allies are openly attacking IVF.

00:29:33.480 Now, they are admitting something that a lot of people won't admit, that if you have an act that says life starts at conception and therefore that life is entitled to the same rights, the same right to life that you and I are, that that threatens IVF.

00:29:48.500 Because in vitro fertilization plays fast and loose with human ethics because there's eugenics involved in the process and there is the destruction of embryos involved in the process.

00:30:01.620 Yeah, I do think that all life should be protected.

00:30:04.660 And I understand that not everyone who goes through IVF uses those eugenics methods, which are very common, or discards their embryos, which is also very common.

00:30:15.080 I mean, there's over a million embryos left on ice.

00:30:18.040 And yes, if these are people made in the image of God, which is the Christian belief, then we have to care what happens to them.

00:30:24.320 I mean, maybe there is some kind of compromise that we can come to where we say, OK, you can't just discard embryos.

00:30:31.320 You can't use this eugenics process. 0.91

00:30:33.720 However many eggs or eggs you fertilize, however many embryos you create, you have to transfer.

00:30:40.720 And, like, can that be a compromise, at least, to say that we can all agree that life shouldn't be destroyed?

00:30:47.520 But Democrats, of course, don't believe that.

00:30:50.640 They say we will pass national legislation to make Roe the law of the land again.

00:30:55.740 And what that practically means is because basically Roe v. Wade says in general, I mean, there's some nuances to this, but it is a right and cannot be infringed upon to restrict abortion before viability, which has changed as technology has changed and developed.

00:31:16.380 But that's typically about 24 weeks.

00:31:18.980 I mean, that's close to the third trimester.

00:31:20.780 That is extremely late in a pregnancy.

00:31:24.380 And so what this would mean if they take this to the federal level would mean that no state can restrict abortion before 24 weeks.

00:31:34.660 And that is going to be federalized.

00:31:37.080 That is going to be a law that they pass if they get a majority in the House and the Senate.

00:31:42.360 They also say we will repeal the Hyde Amendment.

00:31:46.100 OK, well, the Hyde Amendment, Biden used to favor the Hyde Amendment.

00:31:52.000 It was a compromise, a bipartisan compromise that said, OK, if we're going to allow abortion, we are not going to allow federal tax dollars to fund abortion.

00:32:03.800 Well, this Democratic platform is saying that they're going to get rid of that, that they are going to force your federal tax dollars to pay for the slaughtering of unborn children, whether you like it or not.

00:32:14.220 Oh, so much for that freedom that they said that they were running on.

00:32:18.140 And then this is they made this, of course, back when President Biden was the candidate and in his second term or the nominee and in his second term, President Biden will continue to support access to FDA approved medication abortion, appoint leaders at the FDA who respect science and appoint judges who uphold fundamental freedoms.

00:32:37.720 Again, that fundamental freedom language excludes the fundamental right of a child to not be brutally murdered.

00:32:48.420 Remember, abortion is brutal murder.

00:32:51.260 It is poisoning.

00:32:52.600 It is starvation.

00:32:53.940 It is vacuuming a human being outside of the only home she has ever known.

00:32:59.660 It is using forceps to dismember a child, to crush the skull of a child.

00:33:08.080 Abortion, people tell me, like, that's not true.

00:33:10.700 That's a lie.

00:33:11.960 That's not really what happens.

00:33:13.020 What do you think happens in an abortion? 1.00

00:33:15.840 Like, what do you think?

00:33:16.620 It's fairy dust.

00:33:17.580 What do you think goes on in an abortion? 1.00

00:33:19.440 Of course, it's brutal.

00:33:20.820 It's killing a child.

00:33:23.380 If you haven't seen Unplanned, I really recommend that you do.

00:33:27.320 It is the story of Abby Johnson, who used to be a Planned Parenthood employee, a star employee at Planned Parenthood, and left.

00:33:32.940 And now she helps other abortion workers leave. 1.00

00:33:35.580 But it shows a simulation of what it looks like on a sonogram when a baby is aborted.

00:33:41.820 I mean, as a pro-life person, I saw this a few years ago.

00:33:44.820 I was also pregnant at the time, so that didn't help.

00:33:47.520 But it wrecked me.

00:33:49.520 And, you know, go back and listen to that episode with Seth Gruber.

00:33:52.220 If you haven't watched it already, then you should.

00:33:54.280 He talks about the importance of actually showing what an abortion is and showing the bodies of those affected by it.

00:34:00.220 I know it makes us cringe and it makes us uncomfortable.

00:34:02.760 But, you know, he compares that to Emmett Till and what that did to raise awareness of just the brutality of prejudice at the time.

00:34:10.460 And I actually think it's important.

00:34:12.440 I do think it's important because there's a reason.

00:34:15.580 There's a reason you professing pro-choicers out there don't want to hear what happens in an abortion.

00:34:21.380 There's a reason why you say you don't know what happens in an abortion.

00:34:23.560 There's a reason why you deny what happens in an abortion.

00:34:26.280 There's a reason why you don't want to look at those pictures.

00:34:28.500 There's a reason why you don't want to think about it.

00:34:30.100 There's a reason why you use euphemisms like pregnancy tissue and terminating a pregnancy and reproductive rights and bodily autonomy.

00:34:38.680 Look, if you're on the winning side, you don't have to do that.

00:34:41.900 That's a really good indication of who is right and who is wrong.

00:34:44.860 Who's lying?

00:34:46.320 Who has to use code words?

00:34:48.460 Who has to use euphemisms?

00:34:49.940 Who has to use misleading information and misleading rhetoric to get you on their side?

00:34:56.620 And who is willing to tell you the cold, hard truth?

00:34:59.800 The person willing to tell you the cold, hard truth, they know that they're on the right side.

00:35:03.980 All I have to do, all I have really ever done to convince people to be pro-life, and by the grace of God, I get messages almost every day, definitely every week, from people saying,

00:35:13.580 I used to be pro-choice, but I listened to this, and now I'm pro-life.

00:35:17.320 Again, praising God for that.

00:35:19.200 I don't even take credit for it.

00:35:20.420 All I've had to do, it's a really easy job, is to just tell you the truth.

00:35:23.480 This is what happens in an abortion. 1.00

00:35:25.060 No hyperbole, no funny business, no manipulation.

00:35:28.620 Here's what happens in an abortion. 0.87

00:35:30.780 That changes people's mind.

00:35:32.520 So if you are on the other side of it, where you have to obscure what happens in an abortion,

00:35:36.480 you're on the wrong side.

00:35:38.040 You're on the wrong side, okay?

00:35:40.420 End of story.

00:35:41.080 And you do not have to vote for the party that wants that.

00:35:44.360 Who wants that unfettered? 0.98

00:35:45.820 Unfortunately, I don't believe that Republicans are as pro-life as I want them to be.

00:35:50.460 But if I'm looking at the comparison between the side that I know is not going to federalize the lack of restrictions in Roe v. Wade,

00:36:01.360 and the side that wants to make my tax dollars pay for the brutal dismemberment of babies,

00:36:08.380 I mean, yeah, that's an easy choice.

00:36:10.580 That's an easy choice.

00:36:12.040 I mean, this side at the DNC is actually offering free abortions and free vasectomies at the DNC. 0.95

00:36:21.060 This is crazy.

00:36:21.780 All right.

00:36:26.680 If you haven't gotten your medical supplies kit from Jace Medical, now is the time to do it.

00:36:31.560 Go ahead and get your Jace case.

00:36:45.300 We're about to get into flu season.

00:36:47.420 And so you'll have that emergency stash.

00:36:49.800 You can also get a Jace daily, which is a year long supply of the prescriptions that you and your family rely on.

00:37:17.780 So let's get into this.

00:37:24.240 Planned Parenthood of Great Rivers of St. Louis announced on Axe that they are going to be offering free medication abortions.

00:37:33.940 And free vasectomies and then free Plan B as well.

00:37:38.680 According to Dr. Colleen McNicholas, chief medical officer of Planned Parenthood Great Rivers,

00:37:43.720 there are going to be people traveling to Chicago from all over the country.

00:37:46.440 And I think we should be doing what we can as health care providers to show what the impact of good policy and bad policy is.

00:37:52.700 What other kind of health care?

00:37:54.160 There's another euphemism.

00:37:55.160 What other kind of health care purposely kills a child?

00:37:58.180 Purposely kills a person.

00:37:59.380 It's not health care.

00:38:00.840 And I actually met this person, Dr. Colleen McNicholas.

00:38:05.300 I was in 2019 the sole witness for the Republican side in a hearing in Congress about Trump's pro-life efforts.

00:38:15.420 And, of course, the Democrats, they had, I think, four witnesses.

00:38:20.020 I was the lone Republican witness.

00:38:21.600 And all of them were pro-abortion and they were advocating against these pro-life measures that the Trump administration had been advocating for and talking about how horrible they were.

00:38:33.780 And I remember being so scared and so intimidated before I went out there thinking, like, oh, my gosh, like this person, Dr. McNicholas, like, yeah, she's pro-abortion, but she's a doctor.

00:38:43.960 Of course, she's going to know what she's talking about.

00:38:45.520 All these people are in the, like, abortion advocacy activism world.

00:38:50.300 They're going to know so much more than me.

00:38:51.760 And then when I went up there and I listened to them talk and I listened to the Democrats talk, the Democrat Congress people like Debbie Wasserman Schultz and all those other people, I realized, oh, my gosh, like their arguments are actually as dumb as the arguments that I see from trolls on Twitter and Facebook.

00:39:13.720 They actually don't have any more sophisticated or morally sound arguments than, like, your random Twitter troll.

00:39:22.840 Wow.

00:39:23.420 And I felt extremely confident after that.

00:39:26.580 I wasn't intimidated or scared at all because, again, I'm like, OK, well, all I have to do is talk about the truth here.

00:39:32.120 And I'm very I'm still very thankful for that opportunity.

00:39:34.500 But I just remember Dr. McNicholas, she was questioned by Representative Thomas Massey and they were going back and forth.

00:39:42.360 And he was he was he was so good.

00:39:44.360 He was so good.

00:39:45.440 He kept on pressing her, like, how late is too late?

00:39:48.840 Like, what is the latest week of pregnancy that you have performed an abortion?

00:39:54.320 And she wouldn't say it and she would never say that she believes in a restriction.

00:39:59.640 And he kept on trying to press her 40 weeks.

00:40:02.640 Like, is that is is that late or is that too late for you?

00:40:06.260 And she kept on saying it's a mom's choice.

00:40:08.380 It's a mom's choice.

00:40:09.860 It's a mom's choice.

00:40:11.200 And so she has killed an untold number of little babies with their own fingerprints, with arms and legs and a brain and who had the natural instinct to survive and a natural love and connection to their mother.

00:40:30.980 And she has snuffed their lives out. 0.64

00:40:33.260 So this is the person that is performing free abortions, medication abortions at the Democrat National Convention.

00:40:41.960 So they're offering these abortion pills there.

00:40:46.940 Mifepristone is one of the abortion pills that there are protesters.

00:40:54.260 They're like wearing these and we'll put up a picture.

00:40:58.360 They're they're they're wearing these outfits of like that are supposed to be an abortion pill. 1.00

00:41:04.080 And on the front of it, it says like Mifepristone, short for Mifepristone, which is extremely disturbing.

00:41:10.460 And they're already protesting out there saying F the courts, F the state.

00:41:15.660 You can't make us procreate.

00:41:17.460 We'll bleep that part out.

00:41:18.580 But just so you get a picture of this, it's SOT 11.

00:41:21.060 Okay, again, no one is making you procreate.

00:41:43.760 No one's making you procreate.

00:41:45.340 No one is.

00:41:45.880 We're just saying after you've done the procreation, if you can not kill your child. 0.71

00:41:50.040 And unless a woman was raped, like you made the choice.

00:41:53.960 You made the choice to have sex. 0.78

00:41:55.860 Consent to sex is consent to pregnancy. 0.88

00:41:58.320 It is.

00:41:59.220 And I don't like how we act like that is too much to ask for people to make that kind of

00:42:05.140 responsible choice.

00:42:06.740 Also, there is a giant inflatable IUD intrauterine device that is going to be there.

00:42:13.160 You can see that picture if you're watching on YouTube is an 18 foot tall inflatable IUD,

00:42:18.300 which is weird.

00:42:20.040 It's just weird.

00:42:23.500 I don't think I mean, most Republicans and certainly not Donald Trump, they're not against

00:42:27.580 birth control.

00:42:28.360 And they're certainly not against they're not for banning any kind of birth control.

00:42:32.300 Now, I personally am against hormonal birth control, a fact that is weaponized against

00:42:37.120 me a lot.

00:42:38.700 One, it's bad for your body.

00:42:40.480 It's just bad for your body.

00:42:41.900 It's bad for your hormones.

00:42:42.860 It's bad not to have a period every month.

00:42:44.560 I think there are a lot of issues with it.

00:42:47.200 I think it causes a lot of mental illness, actually, in a lot of cases, but a lot of

00:42:53.060 distress, depression, anxiety, which women don't need more of. 0.97

00:42:56.640 But then also, yes, there is an abortifacient aspect to hormonal birth control.

00:43:00.740 And rather than stopping ovulation some months, there is always the possibility that you did

00:43:06.860 ovulate and that you did fertilize an egg and that that egg actually dies because the

00:43:11.920 IUD or the hormonal birth control is actually making your womb inhospitable. 0.72

00:43:16.540 So that fertilized egg, which has its own DNA, cannot implant into the womb.

00:43:22.280 That is abortifacient.

00:43:23.780 So, yes, I personally am against hormonal birth control.

00:43:26.560 Is that part of the Republican platform at all?

00:43:29.540 No, it's not even a part of Project 2025, which apparently is like the scariest thing

00:43:34.720 ever.

00:43:35.160 A conservative think tank thought of some conservative stuff and put it down in a document

00:43:40.580 and the left is freaking out about that.

00:43:42.260 Doesn't even have anything to do with Trump.

00:43:43.620 But even Scary Project 2025 isn't saying to ban IUDs or any birth control.

00:43:48.720 That is like my personal stance, of course, because I want to be logically consistent

00:43:52.180 about life from conception.

00:43:55.440 Angela Stanton King made a really interesting point about this.

00:43:59.120 I believe that she is the niece of MLK Jr., if I remember correctly.

00:44:06.720 But she's been a conservative commentator for a while.

00:44:09.900 And this really matters, like if you remember the episode that I just did with Seth Gruber,

00:44:15.000 just about the very Nazi-like history of Planned Parenthood.

00:44:20.340 So she noted this and we fact check these statistics.

00:44:23.980 They are true.

00:44:24.660 She says, in Chicago, where Black residents make up about 29% of the population, Black women 1.00

00:44:30.300 disproportionately account for over 40% of abortions in Cook County.

00:44:34.300 This raises important questions about why Planned Parenthood and the DNC might specifically target

00:44:39.260 this community offering abortions.

00:44:41.640 And it's true. 0.56

00:44:42.200 Black women, while they only make up about 8% of the national population, they make up, 1.00

00:44:46.940 I think it's like 40% of abortions nationally, wildly disproportionate.

00:44:52.080 And of course, Planned Parenthood, they plant themselves in these poor minority-majority 1.00

00:44:58.640 communities, and they lie to women about the life inside their womb, and they encourage 0.99

00:45:06.440 abortion.

00:45:07.520 And there should be some questions asked about that from the party who says that they stand

00:45:12.260 against systemic racism.

00:45:14.440 That's the one disparity that they don't care about, strangely enough.

00:45:18.140 All other disparities, the left says, are evidence in and of themselves of discrimination

00:45:24.600 and racism, if there is any disparity between white and Black income, white and Black graduation

00:45:29.740 rates, white and Black arrest rates, incarceration rates.

00:45:33.420 It's not because of choices.

00:45:34.920 It's not because of culture.

00:45:36.240 It's not because of anything else.

00:45:37.700 It is because of white supremacy.

00:45:39.800 Of course, they exclude from that conversation that there is also a disparity between Asian

00:45:44.440 Americans and white Americans, with Asian Americans coming out on top for basically

00:45:49.080 every single data point.

00:45:51.700 And no one's saying that that's because of Asian supremacy, and yet all the disparities

00:45:55.960 between white Americans and Black Americans are automatically assumed to be because of

00:46:00.980 white supremacy.

00:46:01.560 But this disparity, the disparity in abortions between white Americans, Asian Americans, and

00:46:08.620 Black Americans, that's fine.

00:46:10.680 That's not racism at all.

00:46:12.900 It's interesting.

00:46:14.200 Here's what the New York Times says about this.

00:46:16.420 They actually did report on Planned Parenthood rolling up and providing free murder.

00:46:21.700 for women.

00:46:23.280 They said,

00:46:23.960 It also underscores the way this convention, more than any other, is going to be a head-on

00:46:28.680 display of new unbridled abortion politics.

00:46:31.600 For years, many Democrats believe too much talk about abortion rights might drive away moderate

00:46:37.060 or religious voters.

00:46:38.540 Four years ago, at the COVID-dampened convention of 2020, President Biden did not utter the word

00:46:43.840 abortion in his speech.

00:46:45.600 Neither did Vice President Kamala Harris.

00:46:47.700 Although she did refer briefly to racial injustice and reproductive and maternal health care.

00:46:52.320 We've done a whole episode on debunking that talking point too.

00:46:55.980 But this year, after the overturning of Roe v. Wade turned abortion rights into one of Democrats'

00:47:00.720 most potent political weapons, long-time supporters of abortion rights are expecting the issue in 0.53

00:47:05.220 the word itself to be a central message.

00:47:07.860 But you also notice, like, even on this, where they claim, like, this is such a winning issue

00:47:11.820 for their side that women just want abortion, all people just want abortion so much, 0.51

00:47:16.780 they still have to lie.

00:47:18.480 Like, they still won't say what abortion is.

00:47:20.340 And they also use these stories of women not being able to get a DNC in the cases of miscarriage,

00:47:26.660 saying that this is because of the laws that have been passed by Republicans, when that's

00:47:30.560 just not true.

00:47:31.720 If they even are true, they're because of the irresponsibility of the doctors.

00:47:36.380 There is not a single law that restricts in any way a DNC after a miscarriage.

00:47:41.760 And a DNC after a miscarriage, after the baby has already naturally died, is not the same

00:47:47.360 thing as a DNC to actually kill the child. 0.81

00:47:50.980 And so they're conflating that in order to push what I call toxic empathy.

00:47:57.000 It is empathy manipulation, empathy bullying for the purpose of pushing you to a perspective

00:48:02.860 that is actually harmful for the very people that they say that they are defending.

00:48:08.900 And unfortunately, this has convinced a lot of professing Christians, specifically Evangelicals.

00:48:15.160 There is an Evangelicals for Harris group, and they recently met on a Zoom call, and oh,

00:48:21.620 the theology that we heard in this call.

00:48:23.780 Okay, we'll get into all of that in just a second.

00:48:26.900 Every Life is the only pro-life diaper company.

00:48:34.720 This is also the diaper company that we use in our home.

00:48:38.380 I love their diapers.

00:48:39.440 They're made from premium ingredients.

00:48:41.180 They're totally clean, no fragrances or fake stuff or anything like that.

00:48:44.900 So I feel really good about my baby using Every Life diapers, and they really do work.

00:48:49.960 We don't have to worry about leaks or anything.

00:48:52.100 And I love that they stand for pro-life values.

00:48:55.280 Unfortunately, other diaper companies don't.

00:48:57.880 They support all of their pregnant employees, and they also donate resources to pro-life pregnancy

00:49:05.380 centers and organizations that are helping pregnant moms in need.

00:49:17.460 All right, so last election, there was an evangelicals for Biden.

00:49:26.280 Now there's an evangelicals for Harris.

00:49:29.440 There were quite a few notable people on there.

00:49:34.940 Probably the names that you've heard the most, I would say Jerusha Duford.

00:49:40.780 I think that's how you pronounce her name.

00:49:42.200 She is Billy Graham's granddaughter.

00:49:45.100 Also, Billy Graham is being used in some ads by Democrats and to basically say that

00:49:53.800 Trump is not a Christian because they are juxtaposing what Billy Graham said is the gospel

00:50:00.200 and what you have to do for salvation, which is ask for forgiveness, empowered by grace.

00:50:06.340 And then Trump saying that, well, I just don't think I need forgiveness to try to say that

00:50:10.400 Trump isn't saved.

00:50:11.080 Look, I don't know whether Trump is saved or not.

00:50:13.660 I do think based on recent comments that he's made, he made some comments on Laura Ingraham

00:50:17.800 where he said, yeah, if you're a good person, you go to heaven.

00:50:20.160 If you're a bad person, you go to hell.

00:50:21.400 And I think I'm a good person.

00:50:23.060 Obviously, that means that he doesn't understand the gospel.

00:50:25.740 I know people who have shared the gospel with Trump, solid people.

00:50:28.920 So I know he's heard it.

00:50:30.620 You could say he's a baby Christian.

00:50:31.920 People have been saying that for a long time.

00:50:33.160 I don't know.

00:50:33.880 I don't know.

00:50:34.500 And I don't think Kamala Harris is a Christian.

00:50:37.080 I mean, she said nothing to me to indicate that she understands the gospel in any way.

00:50:40.420 And her policies tell me that she's a very bloodthirsty, rabid, cruel person. 1.00

00:50:44.960 And so I don't think, I don't think she has the fruit of the spirit.

00:50:49.840 And so we've got that.

00:50:51.880 We've got two people who might not be Christians.

00:50:55.600 And so at the end of the day, what are you going to do?

00:50:58.080 What are you going to do?

00:50:58.700 Who are you going to vote for?

00:50:59.900 You can't say that Kamala Harris is more of a Christian than Donald Trump because I

00:51:02.960 don't think she indicates that in any slight way at all.

00:51:07.440 And so you have to look at the policies.

00:51:09.620 And that's where you let your biblical worldview guide you.

00:51:12.120 And that's why I think evangelicals for Harris, especially in a lot of the videos that we are

00:51:17.280 about to look at, are just completely delusional.

00:51:20.740 I'm sorry.

00:51:21.540 I don't know how else to say it, but just extremely delusional and ignorant to what the

00:51:27.920 government is and does and our responsibility as citizens.

00:51:32.000 Um, LaTosha Morrison, we've talked about her and we've talked about her work quite a few

00:51:37.040 times.

00:51:37.760 She's the author of Be the Bridge and Be the Bridge is a program and a book that has been

00:51:42.300 promoted by a lot of conservative evangelicals as the way to bring white Christians and black

00:51:49.440 Christians together through the gospel.

00:51:51.720 We've talked about before her book is not a gospel book.

00:51:54.680 I think that she has some aspects of the gospel that she tries to weave in to her ideas, which

00:52:02.640 are largely secular.

00:52:04.980 And you can go back and you can listen to the episodes on that.

00:52:08.560 I would have said way before this, I would have said, do not use Be the Bridge.

00:52:13.820 Be the Bridge is not going to unite white and black Christians.

00:52:16.800 It's actually just going to stoke resentment and justification for resentment and a lot of

00:52:23.280 partiality.

00:52:24.280 I would say check out the Center for Biblical Unity.

00:52:28.200 Monique Dusan has been on this podcast.

00:52:30.280 We've talked about Be the Bridge before and how biblical unity is better than so-called

00:52:34.780 racial reconciliation and a lot of the ungodly partiality that we see pushed by Be the Bridge.

00:52:40.920 So I can't say that I am at all surprised by what I hear LaTosha Morrison saying in this

00:52:46.820 evangelicals for Harris call, but it is, it's disturbing nonetheless.

00:52:54.800 So let's see.

00:52:56.060 I have quite a few, I have quite a few clips and I, I can't play, I can't play all of them

00:53:02.540 because I'm running out of time.

00:53:04.080 Okay.

00:53:05.220 Let's play.

00:53:07.260 Let's do Sop 4.

00:53:08.560 I look at which candidate is leading me to love the other, which candidate is leading

00:53:17.520 us towards compassion, which candidate is leading us to walk out the Sermon on the Mount,

00:53:25.780 which is the blueprint of love.

00:53:28.600 Okay.

00:53:29.280 That's not the, that's not the role of the president.

00:53:31.640 It's not.

00:53:32.680 And I would say like, if you want me to be fair, I'm going to say neither.

00:53:36.400 There is nothing about Kamala Harris that is loving and that is depicting and demonstrating

00:53:43.120 love.

00:53:44.240 There is nothing about her campaign.

00:53:46.100 There's nothing about her platform.

00:53:47.460 She hasn't even put out her platform, but the Democrat platform, there's nothing about

00:53:50.820 her policy proposals that I see that, that is loving.

00:53:55.960 And now you could say that Donald Trump personally, he doesn't come across as this like lovey dovey

00:54:02.740 guy.

00:54:03.040 Although I think that he has a lot of compassionate human moments.

00:54:05.600 It's honestly more than I've seen with Kamala Harris, what I've seen with his family,

00:54:10.200 with his grandchildren, what I've seen with many of his voters, the stories that you hear

00:54:14.260 about him throughout his life, that he's been extremely generous and charitable and

00:54:18.200 altruistic.

00:54:18.860 I actually think that he is a softy, probably deep down.

00:54:22.560 That's something I haven't seen from Kamala Harris.

00:54:24.720 I don't know any stories of her generosity.

00:54:26.800 I only know stories about how she's gone after people that she doesn't like. 0.99

00:54:29.940 Go back and listen to our original Kamala Harris episode where we kind of go through her very

00:54:34.640 cruel and calloused career and how she treats people who are in her way. 1.00

00:54:38.040 I've only heard stories about how she's a nightmare to work with. 1.00

00:54:41.240 So even on a personal level, like, no, no, I don't see that at all.

00:54:46.340 But if you're even just talking about superficial politician, what we've seen in the way of like

00:54:51.540 campaign speeches and talking points.

00:54:53.220 Sure, I will say I'll at least say neither candidate is like living out or pushing the

00:54:59.560 sermon on the mount because that's not even their job.

00:55:02.740 I would love that.

00:55:03.820 I'd love that in a candidate.

00:55:05.460 That's not who we have in either candidate.

00:55:07.780 And that is not what the president does.

00:55:11.100 The president represents a set of policies.

00:55:13.580 He signs laws.

00:55:14.960 He signs executive orders.

00:55:16.840 He's got the nuclear codes.

00:55:19.280 He's got access to the red button.

00:55:21.600 It's a really important job.

00:55:23.700 He's not making laws.

00:55:24.900 He's not even deciding if a law is constitutional, but he does represent power.

00:55:32.380 He does represent in the executive branch influence over the direction our country goes.

00:55:38.820 Not completely, not totally, but in significant part.

00:55:43.420 And so I care more about the policies that he is going to push than what you or anyone else

00:55:50.360 thinks about his personality.

00:55:52.480 Now, again, do I wish that he made it easier for everyone to say, yes, enthusiastically,

00:55:57.700 I'm voting for Trump?

00:55:59.500 Yeah, I do.

00:56:00.180 There are definitely things I wish he would say.

00:56:02.200 There are things that I wish he would not say.

00:56:03.980 I wish he wouldn't have ragged on the Florida pro-life law.

00:56:08.340 I wish he wouldn't have compromised on abortion, at least rhetorically, not politically when he

00:56:14.320 was president.

00:56:14.880 Of course, there are things I wish that he would do differently, but I know that I've

00:56:19.980 got two flawed people.

00:56:21.880 This is the message I was talking about earlier.

00:56:23.700 I've got two flawed people.

00:56:24.660 It's a two-person race, okay?

00:56:26.260 It's a two-person race.

00:56:27.220 RFK is pulling at 3%, according to 538, okay?

00:56:30.560 He's not going to win.

00:56:31.500 He doesn't have a chance.

00:56:32.600 We've got two people.

00:56:33.600 We've got two flawed people.

00:56:34.840 We've got two people who might not be Christians.

00:56:37.360 We've got two people who you could argue in either direction aren't living out the Sermon

00:56:43.080 on the Mount.

00:56:43.660 You could argue maybe in either direction aren't showing adequate compassion in certain ways,

00:56:49.260 aren't peacemakers in certain ways.

00:56:50.880 You could argue that for both of them.

00:56:52.260 So I want to look at what policies are they going to present and how is that going to affect

00:56:58.380 our country now, our stability, our security, and how is that going to shape America for

00:57:05.160 my children and my children's children?

00:57:08.200 That's what I'm looking at.

00:57:09.620 And when I look at Trump's policies, I see security.

00:57:12.700 I see stability.

00:57:13.960 I see prosperity.

00:57:15.920 When I look at Kamala's policies, I see instability.

00:57:20.140 I see an open border.

00:57:21.440 I see lawlessness.

00:57:22.460 I see chaos.

00:57:23.320 I see degeneracy.

00:57:24.380 And I see bloodthirst for babies inside the womb.

00:57:28.440 I see global chaos.

00:57:30.540 I see national chaos.

00:57:32.140 I see institutionalizing the kind of immorality that has led to the destruction of societies

00:57:38.520 throughout all of history.

00:57:40.320 There's not a chance in heck that I could somehow do like Simone Biles level mental gymnastics 1.00

00:57:48.700 to fit a biblical worldview into voting for Kamala Harris, even with the abortion issue

00:57:55.120 aside, which should be enough and is okay to be enough again.

00:57:58.540 But even with that aside, I can't reconcile her borderless policy, her anti-life policies,

00:58:09.520 life inside the womb, I think as well as life outside of the womb, her anti-First Amendment

00:58:13.780 policies while she was senator, while she was attorney general, while she was district

00:58:18.500 attorney.

00:58:19.700 I can't reconcile those things with my faith.

00:58:23.360 Again, Simone Biles level mental gymnastics to try to do that. 1.00

00:58:27.400 And I think that that is what is going on, going on here.

00:58:34.940 All right.

00:58:35.600 Last sponsor for the day is Good Ranchers.

00:58:37.960 You can celebrate Labor Day the American way with a grill out featuring top quality American

00:58:53.900 We eat Good Ranchers almost every night at our home.

00:58:56.380 I love that it shows up at my front door every month.

00:58:59.560 I've got the ground beef.

00:59:01.640 I've got the non-pre-marinated chicken.

00:59:04.620 I love the shrimp and the salmon.

00:59:07.060 I mean, I just love it all.

00:59:08.780 Makes our life so much easier.

00:59:10.100 I don't have to go into the grocery store and wonder if the meat is really high quality

00:59:15.800 or made in America.

00:59:16.860 I can just rest assured getting all my meat from Good Ranchers.

00:59:19.780 Right now, if you subscribe to any Good Ranchers box, you get a free add-on for one year.

00:59:24.920 So that means with every box that you get, you get a free add-on of chicken breast or

00:59:31.340 Also, when you use my code Allie, you get $25 off your first box.

00:59:35.640 GoodRanchers.com, code Allie.

00:59:37.200 She talks about how grace is a gift.

00:59:43.240 LaTosha Morrison does.

00:59:44.900 And so she says, so it's important for me that I and the work that I do that DEI doesn't

00:59:50.400 become a word that is weaponized and criminalized because diversity is about all people.

00:59:54.740 Equity sets a pathway for everyone.

00:59:56.380 See, this is, again, euphemisms, toxic empathy, mishmash of words that don't have any substantive

01:00:05.100 meaning or at least aren't given any substantive meaning.

01:00:09.020 She says that she sees in Vice President Harris an attitude of repentance, that she demonstrates

01:00:15.920 meekness.

01:00:16.820 Meekness is a picture of power and strength under control.

01:00:19.580 And she sees that in Vice President Harris.

01:00:21.740 I want to know how.

01:00:23.280 Tell me exactly.

01:00:24.060 Like, I don't really see meekness very much in Trump, but I don't see it in Harris either.

01:00:29.280 Like, this is the difference, is that Democrats always accuse the right of, like, worshiping

01:00:35.060 power and wanting empire and all of these things.

01:00:38.720 But I'm not DeLulu about Trump.

01:00:41.020 Like, I don't make things up to make him sound amazing and, like, an idol.

01:00:46.000 I don't compare him to Jesus.

01:00:48.380 But these people can't even just say, yeah, Kamala Harris is a really deeply imperfect person,

01:00:52.800 but I agree with her on X, Y, Z, so I'm going to vote for her.

01:00:55.380 They have to make her into, like, the female modern Jesus. 1.00

01:01:00.580 That is levels of DeLulu that I can't even, I really can't understand.

01:01:05.560 Okay, last clip that we're going to play from her.

01:01:07.640 Here's thought six.

01:01:08.700 What we've seen just over the last year, we've seen the rollback of Roe versus Wade.

01:01:15.540 And I am a person who is pro-life.

01:01:19.000 I am a person that believes in life from the cradle to the grave.

01:01:25.060 But I've seen this weaponize.

01:01:28.300 I've seen this criminalize.

01:01:33.300 I've seen women who have died.

01:01:36.900 And because of that, I can no longer be a one-issue voter.

01:01:40.980 I'm voting for the candidate that is leading with grace, that is leading with love, that is leading with compassion for the other.

01:01:51.460 And I hope you will do so, too.

01:01:53.860 So many things here.

01:01:55.200 I don't even know what this means.

01:01:57.460 I've seen the rollback of Roe v. Wade.

01:01:59.880 I'm a person who is pro-life.

01:02:02.600 She says cradle to the grave.

01:02:04.160 I don't know if she really means womb to the tomb, though.

01:02:06.500 She starts at cradle, which is interesting.

01:02:07.780 She said, I've seen this weaponized.

01:02:09.780 I've seen this criminalized.

01:02:11.640 I have to read between the lines here because, again, this is just so vague and just nonsensical that I'm really giving the benefit of the doubt when I am assuming that she means, again, those women, I guess, who have died because they say that they didn't get miscarriage care.

01:02:28.660 I would want to know exactly what she's talking about.

01:02:30.380 Again, no pro-life law restricts miscarriage care in any way.

01:02:33.840 If there's confusion on the doctor's part, I actually think it's political, like, malice going on.

01:02:40.220 Then that's not the fault of the pro-lifers who are passing laws to protect the lives of unborn children.

01:02:46.660 I don't know what she means by I've seen this weaponized and criminalized.

01:02:49.940 I don't know.

01:02:51.120 She said I can no longer be a one-issue voter.

01:02:53.500 Look, again, pro-lifers, I'm not shaming anyone for that being your issue, why you would vote for the more pro-life candidate.

01:03:00.300 I think that's a great one.

01:03:01.360 You're on the side of life.

01:03:03.300 Pro-abortion is on the side of death.

01:03:06.720 Like, remove all the nuances and all the confusing rhetoric and all the euphemisms.

01:03:11.180 That's what it is.

01:03:12.680 Point blank at the end of the day.

01:03:14.920 But even if you look at the other issues, like, she goes on to say, like, Trump is going to cause more systemic racism and he's going to make things so much worse.

01:03:23.640 His policies aren't compassionate.

01:03:25.060 Again, I just want specifics there because I don't see when I look at Democrat policies, I don't see them being on the side of the family or the poor or the so-called marginalized or my neighbor at all.

01:03:36.380 When I look at Republican policies, while the Republican Party is very far from perfect, of course, they are so much more conducive to human flourishing than the Democrat policies.

01:03:48.320 I want a secure border.

01:03:49.720 I want strong order.

01:03:51.260 I want school choice.

01:03:54.880 I want peace here and abroad, which we had largely under Trump.

01:04:00.000 I want economic prosperity.

01:04:01.980 And these are things I see more in the Republican platform than I see in the Democrat platform.

01:04:06.440 And politics aren't the only way to love your neighbor, but it's a way to love your neighbor because politics affects policy.

01:04:11.420 Policy affects people and people matter.

01:04:12.940 And when I look at Democrat policies, when I look at unlimited welfare, when I look at the anti-school choice position that they have, when I look at their borderlessness and their lawlessness and their partiality, especially when it comes to justice,

01:04:29.020 I see destructive policies that are going to be, have been extremely painful for my neighbors and for the country that God has providentially placed me in.

01:04:39.880 And so I, I, again, there's just no way I could finagle support for the party that pushes the genital mutilation of children who say that they're confused about their gender, the party that takes kids out of their parents' custody because the parents won't go along with the so-called gender transition of a child, the party who wants to force your tax dollars to fund the dismembering of babies.

01:05:09.880 You're telling me that that, the candidate that represents that platform is the compassionate, loving candidate?

01:05:18.120 That, that is a spiritually blind position.

01:05:21.800 It's not just morally repugnant.

01:05:24.540 It's not just intellectually ignorant.

01:05:26.600 That is a spiritually blind position.

01:05:29.060 I am not saying Christians have to vote Republican.

01:05:31.640 I'm not saying you have to vote at all.

01:05:33.560 I'm not saying that your vote indicates whether you're going to heaven or hell.

01:05:36.420 I think there's a lot of people who are not Christians on the Republican side.

01:05:40.300 There's a lot of people who are not Christians on the Democratic side.

01:05:43.400 But do I think that you can live in accordance with the biblical worldview and just, and support that party platform?

01:05:50.420 No.

01:05:51.920 No, I don't.

01:05:52.980 I think it's a sanctification issue.

01:05:54.360 I do.

01:05:54.620 And then there's a, there was another guy, Bishop Claude Alexander.

01:06:01.040 He is the chair of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.

01:06:03.960 I won't play the clips because we just don't have time.

01:06:06.520 But he says, you know, this is the pro-life ticket.

01:06:09.500 And they try to expand pro-life to mean things that have nothing to do with abortion at all.

01:06:14.260 And to try to water down the abortion issue. 1.00

01:06:16.600 Look, other issues matter.

01:06:18.240 This is the only issue that's an actual matter of life and death.

01:06:21.120 You are literally killing a child.

01:06:23.780 You're literally killing a child.

01:06:26.000 And I just don't have the mental energy to try to justify something as egregious as that.

01:06:31.620 I think evangelicals for Harris, you know, again, if they wanted to vote third party, if they wanted to not vote at all, I wouldn't, I wouldn't agree with them.

01:06:39.920 But I would say, okay, like, I get that.

01:06:43.120 I do not see how there is any coherence at all in support for someone as radical and bloodthirsty as Kamala Harris.

01:06:52.660 So we have even more to talk about, but we already went long.

01:06:55.960 Don't have time to talk about all of it.

01:06:57.340 We'll try to get to what we didn't talk about, like the Title IX changes and all different kinds of stuff tomorrow.

01:07:04.040 All right.

01:07:04.580 Thank you guys so much for watching and so much for listening.

01:07:09.780 We will be back here then.
