The Democratic National Convention is happening this week in Chicago, and Planned Parenthood is offering free abortions. We are also responding to the Evangelicals for Harris Zoom call spouting some of the worst and most dangerous theology I have ever heard.
00:03:27.700Then she picked her vice presidential candidate.
00:03:31.500That meant that they were candidates for the nomination.
00:03:35.140A lot of people ask me, wait, no one voted for this.
00:03:37.940How are they already the nominees, according to the press and according to a lot of Democrats?
00:03:43.640That's because she doesn't really have any challengers.
00:03:46.740She has been the presumptive nominee, but she hasn't been so far the official nominee.
00:03:51.680After this week, she will be the official nominee.
00:03:54.060I don't think that there is going to be an upset there.
00:03:57.500I do think that her and Walz will be officially on the ticket after this week.
00:04:02.480President Biden is also set to speak tonight, along with Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.
00:04:08.040Brandon Johnson is quite the left-wing radical.
00:04:12.060Other confirmed speakers include second gentleman Doug Imhoff, a former president, Barack Obama,
00:04:17.520former president, Bill Clinton, former secretary of state, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
00:04:23.280It'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.
00:04:41.120And 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.
00:05:53.400Walls will address the convention focusing on retaining the rights that Democrats say have been stripped away under Republican administrations, including reproductive rights and others.
00:06:04.260And just to pause there, because we've talked about this before, but Walls and Harris are running on freedom.
00:06:12.900They 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.
00:06:25.000And 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.
00:06:38.720We know that they don't actually care about our constitutional freedoms, our actual fundamental freedoms.
00:06:45.920When they talk about freedom, what they are talking about is sexual libertinism and the right to kill your baby.
00:06:55.220So 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.
00:07:08.500Those are the only two freedoms that they're talking about.
00:07:10.780He's not talking about freedom of speech.
00:07:12.540He's not talking about freedom of religion.
00:07:14.200He's not talking about freedom of protest.
00:07:16.340They're talking about the freedom to mutilate a person and especially a child's body who says that they are confused about their gender.
00:07:24.580They're talking about the freedom to talk about gender transition and sexual confusion in the classroom.
00:07:31.140They're talking about the freedom to have your baby poisoned or dismembered.
00:07:34.860These are the only freedoms they're talking about.
00:07:36.940So 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.
00:07:44.040When 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.
00:07:56.360When 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.
00:08:11.660When she was Attorney General of California, she pushed the FACT Act, which would have forced pregnancy centers to advertise for abortion.
00:08:23.260These are pro-life pregnancy centers offering women real life-affirming options.
00:08:27.740The FACT Act would have forced them to promote abortion.
00:08:31.600Of course, that was overturned by the Supreme Court because it is an obvious violation of the First Amendment.
00:08:38.220Also, when she was Attorney General of California, she went after David Daleiden.
00:08:42.460David 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.
00:09:01.520Instead 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.
00:09:12.560And so she doesn't care about our constitutional rights.
00:09:15.880She doesn't care about our First Amendment rights.
00:09:55.500They're talking about sexual libertinism.
00:09:58.500They're not talking about the fundamental rights that have to exist for our republic to survive and thrive.
00:10:05.820They're not talking about the right that a child has to not be murdered.
00:10:10.120They're not talking about your right to worship and to protest as you see fit.
00:10:14.800Remember that the Biden DOJ has put peaceful pro-life protesters and grandmothers who are peaceful pro-life protesters in prison for years.
00:10:26.720We'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.
00:10:40.520And so just remember that, that this is not the party of freedom.
00:10:48.620This is the ticket of abortion through all nine months for any reason paid for by the taxpayer.
00:10:54.960This is the ticket that will trample on your First Amendment rights if you disagree with the radical claims and agenda of the LGBTQ lobby.
00:11:05.740So 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.
00:11:24.160All right, quick pause to tell you about our first sponsor.
00:15:32.680These are absolutely not peaceful people.
00:15:34.880The 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.
00:15:52.100They know that the DNC is more likely to be pro-Hamas than Republicans are.
00:15:57.200And 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.
00:16:11.000Now, 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.
00:16:23.220Remember, delegates are voting for the nominee.
00:16:26.960That's where this process is happening.
00:16:29.280And we didn't have all of the information then when Glenn was on the show, as we do now.
00:16:34.040And with the information that we had then, he predicted that it wouldn't be Kamala because Obama hadn't endorsed her yet.
00:16:44.600But 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.
00:17:03.920According to FiveThirtyEight, at the end of June, she had a 36 percent favorability rating.
00:17:09.100And that is very similar, by the way, to what Mike Pence had about this time.
00:20:00.140That'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.
00:20:10.500I know that people have called me Kamala the communist.
00:20:14.080I know that my record is absolutely extreme and that I have been rated the furthest left senator when I was in the Senate.
00:20:35.760And hey, again, it might be an effective strategy.
00:20:38.120But you as a thinking person need to understand that it is not true.
00:20:43.200It is a false representation of who she is, who she has been and who she will be as president.
00:20:49.460Okay, for those of you who have teenagers and you're wondering, what the heck am I going to do for college?
00:20:59.340I 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.
00:21:14.000Well, Hillsdale College is an amazing university that really has Christian values.
00:21:19.440And also they're offering more than 40 free online courses right now in the most important and enduring subject, of course, that is theology.
00:21:27.760You 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.
00:21:39.760All of the stuff is available totally for free through Hillsdale College.
00:21:43.100So if you want to learn more about them, see what they're all about, go ahead and enroll for one of these courses.
00:21:47.780Go to hillsdale.edu slash relatable to enroll hillsdale.edu slash relatable.
00:21:58.260Now, in 1968, the vice president, Hubert Humphrey and Senator Edmund Muskie were nominated, but they lost her Richard Nixon in the general election.
00:22:09.780Nixon was elected by what he called in 1969.
00:22:12.160He didn't come up with this phrase, but he popularized it.
00:22:15.880He 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.
00:22:27.080I certainly think that we still have a level of that in the United States, definitely.
00:22:32.800There are people who are going to vote for Trump and hold their nose.
00:22:36.300There's people who just don't like to talk about politics but are going to vote for Trump.
00:22:40.480There 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.
00:22:46.840I 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.
00:23:00.880Do I think that we should hang our hat on that?
00:23:03.100Do I think we should put our hope there?
00:23:04.600No, because what you want is to have a candidate that doesn't make people feel like they need to be silent.
00:23:10.680Now, maybe you could say it's not Trump's fault.
00:23:12.520Maybe 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.
00:23:23.180But 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.
00:23:37.280So 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.
00:23:47.400But basically, without burying the lead, what we have to focus on is not the person because we have two very flawed people.
00:23:56.740They could go tit for tat on their moral issues.
00:24:03.240Enthusiastically vote for one set of policies and against another set of policies.
00:24:08.200What you'll notice, speaking of policies, that if you look at the 1968 Democratic Party platform, is that there's no mention of abortion.
00:24:19.400Of 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.
00:24:29.060Leftists 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.
00:24:39.460I 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.
00:24:55.580Before the 60s and 70s, it was broadly accepted that killing an unborn child should be illegal.
00:25:02.840I'm not saying there was 100 percent consensus on that, but that was the prevailing opinion, the prevailing perspective at the time.
00:25:12.300So, again, it wasn't the right that changed.
00:25:14.120It was the left that changed and the right responded to that change.
00:25:18.640But 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.
00:25:28.940So, 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.
00:25:38.800If you're having an abortion, then reproduction has already happened.
00:25:42.420No one's stopping you from reproducing.
00:25:46.260No one is telling you that you should have unprotected sex, that you have to have unprotected sex.
00:25:50.620Like, no one is controlling your actual reproduction.
00:25:55.960So, abortion doesn't count in reproductive health.
00:25:59.560The reproduction has already happened.
00:26:02.080You have a unique life with unique DNA, and it is a human being scientifically.
00:26:07.800And 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.
00:27:01.620It precedes all of that logically and in importance.
00:27:04.400And, 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.
00:27:15.180If 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?
00:27:23.740Do 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?
00:27:35.300You wouldn't use those as justifications to kill a five-year-old, right?
00:27:38.880Even though they're smaller, less powerful, and less knowledgeable than a 16-year-old?
00:27:47.280That'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.
00:28:02.240It is a barbaric position that is a central piece of Kamala Harris's campaign.
00:28:09.740It's also a central piece to the Democratic Party in general.
00:28:51.500Has already had devastating consequences nationwide.
00:28:55.340Really, 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.
00:29:12.980They also talk about IVF, which we've talked about many times on this show.
00:29:16.140We don't have time to get into all of that.
00:29:18.140But this platform says Trump has refused to commit to vetoing the Life at Conception Act.
00:29:23.760It is Life at Conception, by the way, a national abortion ban that threatens IVF access nationwide.
00:29:30.400And his allies are openly attacking IVF.
00:29:33.480Now, 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.
00:29:48.500Because 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.
00:30:01.620Yeah, I do think that all life should be protected.
00:30:04.660And 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.
00:30:15.080I mean, there's over a million embryos left on ice.
00:30:18.040And 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.
00:30:24.320I mean, maybe there is some kind of compromise that we can come to where we say, OK, you can't just discard embryos.
00:30:33.720However many eggs or eggs you fertilize, however many embryos you create, you have to transfer.
00:30:40.720And, like, can that be a compromise, at least, to say that we can all agree that life shouldn't be destroyed?
00:30:47.520But Democrats, of course, don't believe that.
00:30:50.640They say we will pass national legislation to make Roe the law of the land again.
00:30:55.740And 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.
00:31:37.080That is going to be a law that they pass if they get a majority in the House and the Senate.
00:31:42.360They also say we will repeal the Hyde Amendment.
00:31:46.100OK, well, the Hyde Amendment, Biden used to favor the Hyde Amendment.
00:31:52.000It 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.
00:32:03.800Well, 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.
00:32:14.220Oh, so much for that freedom that they said that they were running on.
00:32:18.140And 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.
00:32:37.720Again, that fundamental freedom language excludes the fundamental right of a child to not be brutally murdered.
00:34:49.940Who has to use misleading information and misleading rhetoric to get you on their side?
00:34:56.620And who is willing to tell you the cold, hard truth?
00:34:59.800The person willing to tell you the cold, hard truth, they know that they're on the right side.
00:35:03.980All 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,
00:35:13.580I used to be pro-choice, but I listened to this, and now I'm pro-life.
00:38:21.600And 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.
00:38:33.780And 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.
00:38:43.960Of course, she's going to know what she's talking about.
00:38:45.520All these people are in the, like, abortion advocacy activism world.
00:38:50.300They're going to know so much more than me.
00:38:51.760And 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.
00:39:13.720They actually don't have any more sophisticated or morally sound arguments than, like, your random Twitter troll.
00:40:11.200And 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.
01:02:11.640I 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.
01:02:28.660I would want to know exactly what she's talking about.
01:02:30.380Again, no pro-life law restricts miscarriage care in any way.
01:02:33.840If there's confusion on the doctor's part, I actually think it's political, like, malice going on.
01:02:40.220Then that's not the fault of the pro-lifers who are passing laws to protect the lives of unborn children.
01:02:46.660I don't know what she means by I've seen this weaponized and criminalized.
01:03:14.920But 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.
01:03:25.060Again, 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.
01:03:36.380When 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.
01:04:01.980And these are things I see more in the Republican platform than I see in the Democrat platform.
01:04:06.440And politics aren't the only way to love your neighbor, but it's a way to love your neighbor because politics affects policy.
01:04:11.420Policy affects people and people matter.
01:04:12.940And 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,
01:04:29.020I 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.
01:04:39.880And 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.
01:05:09.880You're telling me that that, the candidate that represents that platform is the compassionate, loving candidate?
01:05:18.120That, that is a spiritually blind position.
01:06:26.000And I just don't have the mental energy to try to justify something as egregious as that.
01:06:31.620I 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.
01:06:39.920But I would say, okay, like, I get that.
01:06:43.120I do not see how there is any coherence at all in support for someone as radical and bloodthirsty as Kamala Harris.
01:06:52.660So we have even more to talk about, but we already went long.
01:06:55.960Don't have time to talk about all of it.
01:06:57.340We'll try to get to what we didn't talk about, like the Title IX changes and all different kinds of stuff tomorrow.
