RFK Jr. suspends his campaign and endorses Donald Trump.
00:00:05.780
How is this going to affect the election in general and suburban women specifically?
00:00:11.720
Also, Trump says that he is going to fight for women's quote unquote reproductive rights.
00:00:20.280
If you love Relatable, if you could do me a favor and please leave us a five star review
00:00:33.780
This episode is brought to you by our friends at Good Ranchers.
00:00:54.020
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and that you are kicking off the school year wonderfully.
00:01:03.620
This is the last day that I will be recording from this setup.
00:01:10.540
And so thank you so much for really just not caring about kind of the low quality picture
00:01:16.360
and the less quality audio that you guys have had to deal with.
00:01:20.060
I really appreciate that, just the patience and the graciousness that you've shown us.
00:01:28.160
We've got election news and discussions to focus on today.
00:01:33.720
Next Monday, we will be out because it is Labor Day.
00:01:41.780
There will be no episode, but we will pick right back up on Tuesday.
00:01:46.180
And then of course, our election coverage will continue, especially focusing on that every
00:01:52.480
But before we get into it today, and as you can imagine, we have a lot to discuss, just
00:01:57.940
I want to reiterate what I post on Instagram many Mondays, not every Monday, but God's eternal
00:02:04.320
plan of redemption is always going off without a hitch.
00:02:08.380
And actually, we've got some merchandise coming out with that reminder because you guys love it
00:02:12.600
so much, and it can feel really overwhelming, both outside of your home, maybe inside of
00:02:17.080
your home, in your personal life, perhaps, and certainly in the political world.
00:02:27.160
He's never wondering what's going to happen next.
00:02:29.300
He's never looking down and thinking, how did you guys get into this mess?
00:02:33.520
He is not constrained by linear time the way we are.
00:02:41.340
Hebrews 13, 8 says, yesterday, today, and forever.
00:02:48.540
He is not only the author of our faith, but the finisher, the perfecter of our faith.
00:02:57.120
It is from that place that we get our joy, that we get our stability, that we get our assurance,
00:03:02.920
that we get our hope, and that gives us this kind of hopefully contagious happiness, this
00:03:11.920
contagious peace in a world that is just wrought with so much confusion and so much chaos.
00:03:19.820
And when we do feel overwhelmed, either just in our own lives or because of everything that's
00:03:28.080
The next right thing in faith with excellence and for the glory of God.
00:03:33.300
I love that Elizabeth Elliott quote when she says, the only thing that you have to do today
00:03:40.020
And we've kind of added on to that over the years.
00:03:42.580
When you don't know what that is, it can always be the next right thing in faith with excellence
00:03:49.100
and for the glory of God, no matter how seemingly mundane or seemingly small, that matters.
00:04:01.000
And we can take heart in the fact that everything we do in the way of faithfulness and obedience
00:04:08.300
as Christians is used by a God who is, again, making sure that all of his plans and all of his
00:04:21.760
This is going to be a crazy, crazy next few months.
00:04:25.860
It's not going to be done at the beginning of November.
00:04:28.380
No matter who wins, there's going to be some kind of conflict.
00:04:35.540
I don't mean, hopefully, any kind of violent conflict, but there's going to be some kind
00:04:42.080
of contesting, I'm sure, of the results of this election.
00:04:49.940
That's been where we, or that is where we have been, arguably, for a long time, but certainly
00:04:55.780
from 2016 when the Democrats really just never let that go.
00:05:00.500
And then, of course, a similar thing happened in 2020.
00:05:03.840
And so I anticipate that there will continue to be chaos.
00:05:15.540
And one day, one day, there will be no more politics, no more elections, no more conflict,
00:05:22.120
no more confusion, no more debate over right or wrong.
00:05:26.640
There will be no more sickness, no more sadness.
00:05:28.680
And Jesus will rule fully and totally on his throne.
00:05:36.480
And we will live in the new heaven and the new earth, and we will get to enjoy full peace
00:05:44.160
And yet, right now, we are still occupying this physical space and this temporal context.
00:05:51.880
God has placed each of us here, not arbitrarily, not accidentally, but providentially and purposely.
00:06:00.400
And with specificity, he deliberately ensured that you were born on the day at the hour that
00:06:11.460
The same will be true of your children's children, and so on.
00:06:18.260
And if he did not want us to care about what goes on in this world, then he wouldn't have
00:06:38.280
And he allots the time periods for each generation.
00:06:42.400
And so here we are, specifically and deliberately, in 2024, in the United States of America, before
00:06:52.580
an election, a consequential election, that will decide not the entirety of our future as
00:07:04.980
It is the president that signs executive orders.
00:07:08.760
It is the president that can sign a bill into law.
00:07:13.300
It is a president that appoints judges, Supreme Court justices.
00:07:18.500
Um, and it is presidents who help drive foreign policy and much of domestic policies.
00:07:26.060
And all of these policies have an effect on people.
00:07:30.760
So it's really not an option for the Christian to not care about what is going on in our country.
00:07:37.340
It's really not an option for Christians not to care about politics, not because we should
00:07:42.660
be paranoid, not because we should ever lose sight of eternity, not because we should ever,
00:07:49.120
uh, deprioritize our primary citizenship, which is in heaven.
00:07:55.540
But because, as we have said so often, politics matter because policy matters, because people
00:08:09.700
They matter to God, and therefore they matter to us.
00:08:13.480
Politics is not the primary way to love your neighbor.
00:08:16.160
It's certainly not the only way to love your neighbor, but it is a way to love your neighbor.
00:08:20.780
All of those responsibilities that I just articulated, that I just outlined, that fall under the
00:08:28.660
president, all of those have a real effect on people, especially when you're talking about
00:08:34.680
something like a Supreme Court justice, that has a generational effect, that has a centuries
00:08:42.000
long effect in some cases, just because it's a lifetime office and, um, they are making decisions
00:08:52.880
When you think about, for example, the overturning of Roe v. Wade, not on partisan grounds, but on
00:08:59.580
constitutional grounds, we then saw states pass laws that protected lives.
00:09:05.440
And because of that, we have, at least according to CNN, seen tens of thousands of more babies
00:09:13.660
born because of these restrictions on abortion that were able to be passed in Republican states
00:09:19.900
because of the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.
00:09:24.420
Politics matter because politics affects policy and policy affects people.
00:09:32.220
It especially affects, it primarily affects the most vulnerable first, the helpless, the
00:09:38.920
people who don't have any monetary or political capital.
00:09:43.100
It affects the babies in the womb, maybe the most it affects those who are truly on the margins
00:09:49.800
of society the most, it affects the immigrant, it affects those who are in poverty.
00:09:56.800
It affects those who have to bear the brunt of lawlessness, for example, or open borders,
00:10:14.320
Quick pause to tell you about our first sponsor for the day.
00:10:23.680
Their oil-based cleanser has been such a game changer for me.
00:10:26.740
I don't use those like harsh, sudsy soaps anymore.
00:10:33.840
And as someone who has drier skin, and of course, I'm in my 30s, so I have to think about
00:10:39.960
This has been so helpful for the texture of my skin, the softness, the moisture of my skin.
00:10:46.060
I love that everything at Adele is completely non-toxic.
00:10:51.700
And the best part to me is that this is a family-run company.
00:10:55.260
They make all of the stuff themselves, and they are just looking to glorify God with the
00:11:01.440
good work that they do and the products that they make.
00:11:08.000
If you go to AdeleNaturalCosmetics.com, use code ALLY for 25% off your first-time purchase.
00:11:16.420
When I look at these two tickets, and as we will talk about today, I certainly don't see
00:11:27.420
But just because that is true of both tickets doesn't mean that they are morally the same.
00:11:32.420
Doesn't mean that their policies are morally equivalent.
00:11:40.680
Even just the immigration and foreign policy issues alone, I see more order and more peace
00:11:47.440
that will do more good for my neighbors than I see on Kamala Harris's side, which is, as
00:11:52.520
she has demonstrated, as the borders are for the past four years, she is an open borders
00:11:59.540
She showed us as Attorney General of San Francisco, of California, as District Attorney of San
00:12:06.280
Francisco, and even as Senator, that she does not care about fairly enforcing the law, that
00:12:12.620
she really is just serving her masters in the abortion and LGBTQ lobby, that she will sacrifice
00:12:19.480
the constitutional rights of journalists like David Daleiden, pro-life pregnancy centers, as
00:12:28.660
She is not only an advocate of degeneracy, but an advocate of institutionalizing the very
00:12:34.880
degeneracy that we have seen has been a cause of the fall of every society since the beginning
00:12:44.180
And her bloodthirst, both for babies in and outside of the womb, it just cannot be justified.
00:12:50.780
Remember that she voted against, as Senator, the Born Alive Infant Survivors Protection Act.
00:12:58.120
That is the act that simply said, look, unborn babies have, or not unborn babies, rather, but
00:13:04.880
babies who survive an abortion, they are entitled to health care.
00:13:10.020
They should be entitled to health care because we've heard testimony after testimony of these
00:13:14.140
babies surviving abortion accidentally and then being thrown in a waste bucket or being set
00:13:21.180
off to the side, being placed in a utility closet.
00:13:33.080
And she said, no, those babies that survive abortion, they do not have a right to health
00:13:51.420
And I love my neighbors too much to vote for that.
00:13:57.060
Some people say that you shouldn't vote for the lesser of two evils, but I think that we
00:14:06.280
Now, I understand that that's not everyone's calculation, and I do get that.
00:14:12.380
We'll talk today about some of Trump's, um, some of Trump's statements on abortion, how
00:14:19.780
he seems to be doubling down on what I would call pro-choice rhetoric.
00:14:28.360
I'm certainly not afraid to critique Trump and his rhetoric and his, some of his policy
00:14:34.360
But when you're voting for the lesser of two evils, you are voting for more goodness to
00:14:45.620
And by the way, every single election in the history of the United States has been a choice
00:14:54.360
Even when we've had overtly, outwardly more kind of evangelical presidents, which we really
00:15:02.980
haven't had very many, like, I think that we'd probably have to go back to Reagan because
00:15:08.300
George Bush wasn't even, he wasn't even an evangelical, like, really, I would say the
00:15:15.440
most pro-life president that we've had in policy and even in rhetoric while they were
00:15:29.080
It's actually quite known that many of the Bushes are pro-choice.
00:15:32.900
I, I guarantee you that George W. Bush believes in legal abortion up to some point.
00:15:38.760
And then when we look at Ronald Reagan, yes, he was rhetorically very pro-life.
00:15:42.880
I love that about him, but his policies didn't really advocate for that, at least tangibly.
00:15:48.660
But Donald Trump gave us a huge pro-life victory in the overturning of Roe v. Wade when he selected
00:15:56.680
those justices that helped author that Dobbs decision.
00:16:00.940
Um, and also he was the first president to go to the March for Life.
00:16:05.220
And so we have always had to decide between the lesser of two evils.
00:16:13.700
And when I'm looking at that, there's just no question.
00:16:22.520
They can go tit for tat on their different moral issues that they have.
00:16:29.020
I mean, Kamala Harris is certainly no saint considering her background and how she came
00:16:33.440
to power and the kind of mean calloused person she is.
00:16:38.500
So at the end of the day, I'm looking at order versus disorder, chaos versus peace.
00:16:44.640
And I see peace and order more on the side of the policies and the appointees of Donald
00:16:54.740
So I wasn't really expecting to go on that monologue.
00:16:58.680
It was totally just train of thought extemporaneous.
00:17:02.340
But that's my, that's my calculation this election.
00:17:06.060
So understand all of that as we get into some of this back and forth today, because I am going
00:17:10.820
to say some things that I'm concerned about that I don't like that are happening in the
00:17:18.040
Like, I don't think that we should be afraid to criticize and critique and to voice our
00:17:30.760
And I think that's what we should be doing for all of our nominees and all of our politicians.
00:17:36.680
Uh, before we get into all that, I do just want to remind you guys that share the arrows
00:17:44.820
is happening on September 28th in Dallas, Texas.
00:17:52.380
And yes, of course I'm excited because they're going to be thousands and thousands.
00:17:57.460
I haven't released the official number yet because it just keeps growing.
00:18:00.720
I will before we, before we actually get to the day, I will announce to you the, the number
00:18:10.200
It's amazing already, but I think the final number will just be incredible.
00:18:15.400
Um, but I'm excited obviously because of the amazing speakers that we have, because Francesca
00:18:21.320
Batticelli is going to be leading worship because we have an amazing venue.
00:18:25.160
It's just going to be so good to be together and encourage one another and equip one another
00:18:30.360
And to remind us, Hey, we're all on the same page here and we're on the side of sanity and
00:18:45.740
How do we contend with all of these cultural changes that are happening in a biblical and
00:18:52.700
So that's one big reason why I'm excited, but I'm also excited because guys, we have
00:19:03.300
If you're watching this, there's like a fly right in front of me.
00:19:06.340
Um, I'm super excited, super excited about this speaker that I cannot announce yet.
00:19:14.880
If you have your guesses, you can drop them below in the YouTube comments, but I'm so pumped.
00:19:22.060
So I took some of your guesses on Instagram and a lot of y'all never need to consider
00:19:58.580
So excited when she said, yes, I was just like over the moon pumped because I know how
00:20:10.960
And then we'll do another push of, you know, information and promotion and all that.
00:20:16.260
We've got amazing merch that's only going to be at the event.
00:20:18.980
Of course, it's designed by the amazing Carly Jean Los Angeles, and we've got lots of more
00:20:29.220
And, you know, I probably shouldn't tell you this, but I'm going to, if you want to discount
00:20:33.440
on general admission, there are a lot of promo codes available to you.
00:20:37.060
Like you can use, for example, any of the speakers, um, and Francesca's name followed
00:20:47.700
So you can do Alisa 15, you can do Fran 15, you can do Abby, A-B-B-I-E 15.
00:20:57.380
You get 15% off just general admission, not the other ones.
00:21:10.140
It's women, Christian women only women only, but it's for Christian women.
00:21:14.560
Um, and if you've got a nursing infant, you can bring your nursing infant.
00:21:19.160
Other than that, um, it's not, it's, it's not an event for kids, but we totally understand
00:21:29.040
There'll, there'll be a nursing room and stuff like that too.
00:21:31.340
If you need more privacy, but we are so pumped, so pumped.
00:21:39.900
So go to share the arrows.com and check that out.
00:21:48.160
Second sponsor for the day, another wonderful pro-life company.
00:21:51.460
In fact, the only pro-life diaper company, and that is every life, every life supports
00:21:57.820
all of their employees who are adopting or having babies, make sure, making sure that
00:22:02.300
they are financially supported, that they get the rest, the rejuvenation that they need
00:22:05.980
all the time that they need with their families.
00:22:08.200
So they're really putting their motto where their mouth is when it comes to their pro-life
00:22:16.640
They have these buy for a cause bundles that you can purchase through the every life site
00:22:21.860
that donates items to pregnant moms in need to make it easier for them to choose to make
00:22:35.820
They're made from amazing ingredients, really high quality.
00:22:38.740
You don't have to worry about leaks or anything.
00:22:44.640
Shift your dollars to a company that really cares about life.
00:22:55.100
Okay, let's talk about RFK Jr. dropping out, endorsing Republican Donald Trump.
00:23:06.440
Now, a lot of you said, well, he's not really dropping out.
00:23:10.360
He's keeping his name on the ballot in some states.
00:23:12.740
He's just taking his name off of the ballot in the battleground states.
00:23:17.940
That's true, but he is suspending his campaign.
00:23:22.920
And this is basically him dropping out of the race.
00:23:25.820
If his name is on the ballot where you are, you could still vote for him if that is your
00:23:35.660
I would urge you not to do that, especially in the states where it matters at all because
00:23:43.120
he is telling you, he is communicating that I'm endorsing Donald Trump because Donald Trump
00:23:47.940
of the two candidates is more likely to advocate for public health and for ridding the public
00:23:56.680
health apparatus in this country of corruption, advocating for the health of the future of
00:24:09.280
Out of the two candidates, Donald Trump is more likely to do that.
00:24:12.300
Now, we know that Donald Trump gave us Operation Warp Speed, that he has been that he brought
00:24:18.400
one of the guys from Johnson and Johnson on the stage, that he's been a big advocate
00:24:23.080
of the vaccine and, of course, Operation Warp Speed.
00:24:29.860
I have no idea how he feels about Operation Warp Speed now.
00:24:34.940
You can see, though, at the time why he felt like that was a great idea.
00:24:39.540
He doesn't probably share all of the knowledge and concerns that we have about vaccines and
00:24:48.120
especially an experimental mRNA vaccine like that one.
00:24:52.440
But you can see why at the time he did what he did and why he would even say he's proud
00:24:58.720
I do hope and think that if something similar to COVID came up again, that he would hire better
00:25:05.160
people, that he would fire someone like Anthony Fauci, fire someone like Deborah Birx.
00:25:10.020
He was also dealing with the fact that this was an election.
00:25:16.600
I think he thought that this would be a major win.
00:25:19.420
But I think the fact that he is now willing to link arms with someone like RFK is actually
00:25:24.380
a really good indication of where he stands now on public health.
00:25:30.520
On Friday, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
00:25:34.080
not only dropped out of the race for president, but also endorsed the Republican candidate,
00:25:38.500
former President Donald Trump, and appeared alongside him at a rally in Arizona.
00:25:47.060
Him going out into the stage and they're playing this like Foo Fighters song, which, of course,
00:25:53.360
the Foo Fighters have their, you know, their pantyhose in a wad about that.
00:25:58.560
Um, but he goes out there and he shakes hands with Donald Trump.
00:26:03.300
We've got that like iconic photo that's going around and he makes a really good speech.
00:26:08.640
But before we get into that speech, we got to go back to his announcement, which was making
00:26:13.620
So he made an announcement earlier in the day where he explained his reasoning for dropping
00:26:22.340
And it is because of the meddling of the Democratic Party.
00:26:26.740
Like, you'll remember that it's pretty unprecedented that Joe Biden decided not to give RFK Jr.
00:26:43.900
He needed security, maybe as much as the other candidates.
00:26:51.300
And the DNC pulled out all the stops to keep him off the ballot in as many states as possible.
00:26:58.900
He was basically not allowed on most networks besides Fox News.
00:27:04.440
And so the fact that he was able to get a million signatures, the fact that he was able to garner
00:27:10.060
the support that he did, yes, he was still pulling low.
00:27:13.560
But the fact that he was able to get as many people behind him as he was as an independent
00:27:26.840
He shamed the Democratic Party for weaponizing government agencies, abandoning democracy,
00:27:32.520
suing the opposition, and disenfranchising American voters.
00:27:38.100
Um, RFK pointed out that Trump was mentioned 147 times during the first day of the DNC.
00:27:49.840
His point in that is that, look, like they are telling you that you're going to have Kamala
00:27:58.960
Harris and the only thing they're offering voters is that she's not Donald Trump.
00:28:05.220
They haven't talked about what she and Biden have accomplished over the past few years.
00:28:10.300
And of course, they're not owning up to those failures.
00:28:12.900
Like their only pitch for Kamala Harris is that she is not Donald Trump.
00:28:20.980
This is yet another example he's arguing of them disenfranchising voters and basically
00:28:30.520
The DNC and its media organs engineered a surge of popularity for Vice President Harris based
00:28:37.240
upon, oh, nothing, no policies, no interviews, no debates, only smoke and mirrors and balloons
00:28:51.760
There, in Chicago, a string of Democratic speakers mentioned Donald Trump 147 times just on the first
00:29:02.340
He then compared Biden and the DNC to Vladimir Putin, which is such an apt and interesting
00:29:20.120
description because, of course, the Democratic Party pretends like they are the ones against
00:29:25.800
Putin and that Putin and Trump are in bed together.
00:29:28.460
But, of course, the comparison between Putin and the DNC has always been more appropriate.
00:29:34.860
So he said President Biden mocked Vladimir Putin's 88 percent landslide in the Russian
00:29:38.680
elections, observing that Putin and his party control the Russian press and that Putin prevented
00:29:42.820
serious opponents from appearing on the ballot.
00:29:44.660
But here in America, RFK said, the DNC also prevented opponents from appearing on the ballot
00:29:49.860
and our television networks expose themselves as Democratic Party organs.
00:29:53.900
When a predictably bundled, bungled debate performance precipitated the palace coup against President
00:30:00.500
Biden, the same shadowy DNC operatives appointed his successor, Kamala Harris.
00:30:05.860
Also without an election, they installed a candidate who was so unpopular with voters that she dropped
00:30:11.160
out in 2020 without winning a single delegate, which is all true.
00:30:19.220
So they I would say this probably goes back even further.
00:30:23.300
I mean, I remember thinking at the time, why Kamala Harris is the VP?
00:30:30.440
She wasn't even popular before she ran for president.
00:30:35.180
I mean, obviously, that's why she didn't do well at all in the 2020 election, like embarrass embarrassingly
00:30:45.340
So I think I personally think this plan and plot goes back much, much further than that
00:31:01.120
Now, some people are suggesting that maybe the entire thing was set up for Biden's failure
00:31:07.340
so that they could have so they could use a facade of compassion and say, this is just
00:31:19.220
I feel like we haven't heard from Biden and that we have no idea what's going on in the
00:31:24.220
I'm sure it's nothing good because we've been so distracted by this campaign.
00:31:30.660
And this person who has always been deeply unlikable, she's never been popular.
00:31:36.320
She's always been just kind of very strange and awkward.
00:31:45.400
And now we are supposed to believe that she is this just powerful, compelling figure in
00:31:51.580
American politics, that she has all of these successes under her belt, that she's this
00:31:55.640
magnanimous person who leads with strength through joy, that they keep saying it's joy,
00:32:05.340
And people have pointed out that strength through joy was actually like a Nazi motto.
00:32:13.760
I just think it's weird to borrow a word that campaign seems to love to use.
00:32:22.360
These are the very people that say that they care about democracy.
00:32:25.640
And yet they are using straight up, unabashed propaganda to make you vote for someone who
00:32:33.240
has never even once presented to you a tangible policy that is going to make your life better.
00:32:40.060
I mean, she's put forth very few tangible policy proposals at all.
00:32:44.180
But like, can you name a policy that she advocates for?
00:32:49.220
Kamala Harris, not just some like vague Democrat policy.
00:32:53.320
Kamala Harris has suggested that is going to put more money in your pocket.
00:32:57.980
It's going to increase peace, increase order, make your life better in any way.
00:33:03.700
I mean, the president doesn't have all the power in the world to do that, but he or she
00:33:07.300
certainly has some power to do that through the authority that they have.
00:33:11.180
They might not be able to make your life that much better, but they do have the power to make things a lot worse.
00:33:19.060
Again, not just for ourselves, but for our children, our children's children and our neighbors.
00:33:23.320
And so obviously, RFK was absolutely right in calling all of this out and highlighting the hypocrisy on this and realizing that Kamala Harris is a puppet.
00:33:37.920
I know this sounds conspiratorial, but a puppet of the deep state.
00:33:42.200
That's why she was chosen, because she is going to be compliant with her handlers.
00:33:59.280
I could hardly sleep on any other kinds of sheets because I have been so spoiled by Cozy Earth.
00:34:10.340
It's not even winter weather, anywhere close to winter weather where I live.
00:34:15.120
And yet, I'm like rocking this quarter zip every day because it is so soft, so luxurious, highest quality materials used.
00:34:23.620
This is a great gift if you're already looking for like holiday gifts or if you're going to weddings coming up, like getting them a great set of luxurious sheets or a great towel set from Cozy Earth.
00:34:37.920
If you go to CozyEarth.com slash relatable, you can get up to 40% off your purchase.
00:34:53.880
Trump has welcomed him into the fold, of course, in true Trump fashion.
00:34:58.020
He has had some negative things to say, some very negative things to say about RFK.
00:35:02.440
RFK has had some very negative things to say about Trump.
00:35:05.200
But I think they see it as, OK, this is this is what we got to do right now.
00:35:12.460
So after the rally, after RFK made his speech, it was announced that he was endorsing Donald Trump and he listed his priorities and what he thinks Trump will champion.
00:35:25.420
Trump echoed his concerns and his desire to champion children's health.
00:35:30.100
Today, I'm repeating my pledge to establish a panel of top experts working with Bobby to investigate what is causing the decades long increase in chronic health problems and childhood diseases.
00:35:44.280
Including autoimmune disorders, autism, obesity, infertility and many more.
00:35:53.540
We want every child in America to grow up and to live a long and healthy life.
00:36:02.020
I think that is an amazing message for suburban moms, because a lot of moms were voting for RFK.
00:36:15.640
No conservative suburban mom is voting for RFK.
00:36:20.820
And I'm like, I know them and I know my audience very well.
00:36:25.060
And I knew that there was a sizable portion of the conservative suburban mom that were willing to look past RFK's views on abortion, considering Trump's moderate views on abortion.
00:36:36.740
And say, yeah, medical freedom matters more to me, rooting out the corruption and our public health institutions matters more to me.
00:36:48.680
And I always knew that he was taking more Republican votes than Democrat votes.
00:36:55.240
Oh, no, it's good for RFK to be running because he's taking some Democrat votes away from Kamala.
00:37:05.160
No, I always knew that it was mostly Republican votes that he was accounting for, which is exactly why he is joining the Republican side.
00:37:15.320
It might not help Trump stupendously, but it's going to help him at least marginally.
00:37:20.180
And elections have been won by very thin margins.
00:37:26.040
Kennedy is he's also saying that he thinks that President Trump is going to make a series of announcements of other Democrats who are joining his campaign to make America healthy again.
00:37:44.800
I think President Trump is going to make a series of announcements about other Democrats who are joining his campaign.
00:37:57.560
And, you know, I want to I want to make America healthy again.
00:38:03.240
OK, so on the one hand, adding more Democrats to the campaign.
00:38:15.740
It could bring in some independents that President Trump may need to win.
00:38:24.440
I know that he tapped Tulsi Gabbard, another Democrat, more of an independent to help him prep for the debate against Kamala Harris.
00:38:31.680
And Tulsi Gabbard owned Kamala Harris in the 2020 debate.
00:38:39.280
But this is shaping up to be a very moderate campaign.
00:38:43.220
And maybe some of you see that as a good thing.
00:38:47.000
I've always known, of course, that Donald Trump is moderate, if not liberal on many things.
00:38:53.060
But I don't have to support him in all of those ways.
00:38:57.120
And as a social conservative, as a Christian, like I'm not looking forward to a government that is run by people who are basically just 1990s Democrats, who are basically just Bill Clinton Democrats, because it's that kind of political ideology that got us exactly where we are.
00:39:19.200
Like if we don't understand that we can't just like turn back the clock 20 years and hope for the best, that all of that is connected to the degeneracy and the chaos that we see today, then I think that we're kind of a lost cause.
00:39:31.780
Now, there is part of me that is excited about Republicans, Democrats who don't like corruption and don't like too many foreign entanglements and who believe in some common sense economic policies and immigration policies coming together and just rejecting the far left progressive insanity on things like gender and immigration and economics and foreign policy.
00:39:56.120
That's I mean, that's I mean, that's I mean, that's I mean, that's I mean, that, of course, is good.
00:40:00.120
But do I think that that is enough to preserve the Constitution?
00:40:05.860
Do I think that that is enough to rewrite the ship and put America on the right path?
00:40:11.300
Absolutely not, because inherent in that kind of wishy washy, moderate ideology is weakness.
00:40:22.680
It is extremely vapid. It's not really built on any time-tested principles. And so I don't want a moderate, independent presidential administration. I just don't.
00:40:42.440
I want someone who is extremely strong on life. I want someone who is extremely strong on all forms of conservative principles and conservative ideas and just moral truths and natural law.
00:40:56.180
So we'll see. We'll see how this shapes up. I mean, it's pretty clear to me that it's that crowd that Trump and Vance are vying for, that they really don't care.
00:41:08.860
This is what I think. I really don't think they care about the evangelical vote.
00:41:13.860
Like, I don't think that they care about us conservative Christians over here.
00:41:18.320
I think that they take our vote for granted, that they think that they're going to get it no matter what, no matter what they do.
00:41:24.260
And so instead, they're vying for this very fickle middle. And part of part of that is true.
00:41:32.660
Like they are betting that we have nowhere else to go. And part of that is true.
00:41:37.720
It's an unfortunate situation that we social conservatives, that we Christians are in.
00:41:42.680
Now, you can absolutely withhold your vote. I know pro-lifers who think that Trump has compromised too much.
00:41:48.100
And so they're not going to vote for Trump. I think that is an option. That's not what I'm going to do.
00:41:56.040
However, the Trump campaign has made it really, really clear that they really don't care about losing those votes, that they really don't care.
00:42:09.060
As long as they get the secular libs in the middle who are just kind of like don't love transgenderism and kind of like guns, then they're good to go.
00:42:22.500
It's like the barstool conservatism that are really like morally loose, socially liberal and are kind of moderate on other topics.
00:42:36.420
Like you can be that, okay? You can even want those voters, but that kind of philosophy is not sufficient for building a movement.
00:42:45.560
It's not sufficient for building a country. It's not a sufficient driver of policy.
00:42:56.520
Last sponsor for the day is Good Ranchers. Labor Day is coming up, and so you might be grilling out.
00:43:09.400
If you order now, you can get your box of meat in time.
00:43:18.480
You've got pre-marinated or non-pre-marinated chicken.
00:43:21.640
This is like better than organic, really high-quality stuff.
00:43:24.660
If you are a fish person, you can get shrimp, you can get scallops, you can get cod, you can get salmon.
00:43:32.180
Of course, you can get your great cuts of all American steak, too.
00:43:38.340
You get that box of all American meat right to your front door on dry ice every month.
00:43:42.780
It's what we've done for the past several years.
00:43:46.200
I will never go back into a grocery store and waste my time and money and energy trying to figure out,
00:43:55.860
Oh my gosh, inflation is affecting the prices so much.
00:44:00.840
And supporting American farms and ranches is a great thing.
00:44:10.480
Now, before I get to more of that and some things that Trump has said about abortion in
00:44:19.420
the last couple days, I will say that this was, this whole thing of RFK joining Trump
00:44:26.820
was absolutely a victory, even if just in the short term, for Trump's campaign.
00:44:32.600
Because remember after the assassination attempt of Donald Trump, how that was all everyone talked
00:44:39.360
about, and there was the surge of support and enthusiasm for him.
00:44:46.540
Kamala Harris came in and all of a sudden it was all about Kamala Harris and how beautiful
00:44:53.540
So the air was sucked out of the Trump campaign.
00:44:58.140
When they were going against Biden and you had those amazing, iconic pictures of Trump,
00:45:02.180
I mean, I think that they thought they were just going to skate into victory in the election.
00:45:06.700
Um, and then everything shifted, attention shifted away.
00:45:14.900
People didn't, weren't even sure that it happened.
00:45:17.840
All they cared about was Kamala Harris and this new joyful campaign.
00:45:21.560
So they completely sucked the air out of that story in that moment for Donald Trump.
00:45:26.420
Well, the same thing has happened here, except it's the other way.
00:45:31.040
Democrats, they feel like they had this amazing DNC, you know,
00:45:34.780
where Planned Parenthood was right outside offering free abortions and free vasectomies
00:45:42.400
25 plus babies were aborted through medication abortion right outside the DNC.
00:45:48.680
That alone should be a reason not to vote for Democrats because they endorsed that.
00:45:56.620
They felt like it was very enthusiastic and very joyful.
00:46:02.700
So I don't know how it got started, but they lied about Beyonce, um,
00:46:07.100
performing when Kamala Harris was going to speak.
00:46:09.760
I think just so people would tune in to watch Kamala Harris's speech.
00:46:17.680
Um, and then with this announcement, now that's all everyone's talking about.
00:46:22.260
Even in liberal media, everyone's talking about that.
00:46:26.960
They completely sucked the air out of the DNC enthusiasm and magic that they felt like
00:46:33.840
And now all eyes are on them and they're hoping to use this as momentum.
00:46:38.100
So, and I do think that some of the ads that the Trump campaign is putting out that they're
00:46:44.600
So I'm kind of getting the feeling like, okay, now we're cooking.
00:46:49.500
That doesn't mean things are going to be easy at all.
00:46:51.820
It doesn't mean that he's a shoo-in by any means.
00:46:55.500
I mean, the media is still going to try their darndest to keep them out of the White House.
00:47:01.900
And just remember that Kamala Harris has not given interviews.
00:47:05.900
He hasn't, she has not given answers to the American people because she knows that she
00:47:13.960
Both of them are really terrible in interviews, really terrible.
00:47:17.800
Um, when they're speaking extemporaneously, she's,
00:47:23.620
So she has to rely on the media to do that for her, to create her into something that
00:47:35.180
And she is betting that most people are going to vote based on vibes.
00:47:46.240
And most people are going to vote, she thinks, based on just not liking Trump.
00:47:50.740
Those are really, really superficial reasons to make such a consequential decision.
00:47:55.200
Actually look at the policies and ask yourself, what is going to make life better, uh, for you
00:48:05.440
Now, uh, Trump and Vance have doubled down on their position on abortion because Democrats,
00:48:18.540
As we've talked about before, like when Democrats say we're running on freedom, they mean abortion.
00:48:25.060
When they say, yeah, we believe in your rights.
00:48:34.720
That is basically what every euphemism they use is referring to abortion and your abnormal
00:48:43.340
They're not talking about your constitutional rights.
00:48:46.100
They're not talking about your actual personal liberty that is guaranteed, uh, in the bill of
00:48:56.420
Like we saw that when he, as he is still, but when he was governor of Minnesota during COVID and he
00:49:03.540
allowed churches to only have 10 congregants in worship services, even as he allowed abortion
00:49:13.040
We saw that with Kamala Harris when she tried to force pregnancy centers as attorney general of
00:49:18.400
California to advertise for abortion via the fact act that was overturned by the Supreme Court
00:49:23.280
because it's a violation of the first amendment.
00:49:24.620
These people don't care about your first amendment, right?
00:49:26.420
They don't care about your right to speech, your right to religious liberty, your right to
00:49:32.280
They certainly don't care about your second amendment rights.
00:49:34.200
When they are talking about freedom, they're talking about abortion primarily, and they're
00:49:38.540
talking about, uh, being able to mutilate your genitalia in the name of being the opposite
00:49:44.760
sex and institutionalizing the celebration of, uh, of being gay.
00:49:56.880
So just under, understand that, understand that.
00:50:01.040
Um, but because that is central to their campaign, because they are telling women, you're going
00:50:10.100
And unfortunately, many women believe that they believe that their right to kill their child is
00:50:15.940
sacrosanct, that that is their one issue that they have to vote on.
00:50:20.920
Trump and Vance have decided that they are going to significantly moderate on abortion to try to
00:50:29.760
Um, Donald Trump, he posted this, this is on truth social, although he is on X now.
00:50:35.360
He said, my administration will be great for women and their reproductive rights.
00:50:49.340
I think he did clarify to like a few people in some Pennsylvania, I don't know, but he
00:50:56.500
I mean, this is obviously the euphemism that's used by the pro-abortion crowd, um, to talk
00:51:02.400
Of course, it's a misnomer because if you're at the point of abortion, then you, uh, then
00:51:10.640
You have the right already to reproduce woman as you see fit.
00:51:14.800
What you do not have the right to do is to kill your child.
00:51:18.040
Consent to sex is consent to pregnancy and grow up.
00:51:22.180
Like this is a product of the choice that you made.
00:51:26.280
And this is more importantly, what, no matter the circumstances of the conception, like this
00:51:31.920
is a human being made in the image of God from the point of fertilization, by the way,
00:51:36.220
from the point of fertilization, sperm meets egg, unique DNA, that is the beginning of life.
00:51:42.540
That is when human life begins and to end that life purposely at any point after that is
00:51:49.280
Uh, that's an image bearer of God and it's not a reproductive right.
00:51:53.980
So I don't know if Donald Trump meant abortion or, uh, what he meant, but he is wrong to moderate
00:52:02.220
And, uh, he has said that he would support something like a 16 week compromise.
00:52:08.260
No, that's literally going to make no one happy.
00:52:10.980
It's certainly not going to make me as a pro-lifer happy.
00:52:13.040
It's not going to make the pro-abortion side happy.
00:52:14.980
And here's what I said in response to that, uh, that post on X, I said, I'm glad to see
00:52:23.500
I'm sure that's why Trump felt the need to post this today.
00:52:25.880
He thinks he has to be pro-choice to win RFK's voters.
00:52:28.700
Not only is this morally wrong, I also think it's simply incorrect.
00:52:32.260
Those I know supporting RFK were supporting him despite his pro-choice views.
00:52:37.280
With every wild statement like this, Trump chips away at pro-life enthusiasm, which he desperately
00:52:41.660
needs to win, stop with the compromise and move forward confidently on the side of life.
00:52:47.980
And then on meet the press on Sunday, JD Vance was talking to reporter, Kristen Welker and,
00:52:54.180
uh, Welker pushed him asking, okay, if a federal abortion ban got to Donald Trump's desk, would
00:53:05.120
Can you commit Senator sitting right here with me today that if you and Donald Trump are elected,
00:53:11.660
that you will not impose a federal ban on abortion?
00:53:16.620
Donald Trump has been as clear about that as possible.
00:53:18.840
I think it's important to step back and say, what has Donald Trump actually said on the
00:53:23.900
And how is it different from what Kamala Harris and the Democrats have said?
00:53:27.000
Donald Trump wants to end this culture war over this particular topic.
00:53:30.640
If Kamala, excuse me, California wants to have a different abortion policy from Ohio,
00:53:35.160
then Ohio has to respect California and California has to respect Ohio.
00:53:38.520
Donald Trump's view is that we want the individual states and their individual cultures
00:53:43.040
and their unique political sensibilities to make these decisions because we don't want
00:53:47.460
to have a nonstop federal conflict over this issue.
00:53:54.800
I understand that's where a lot of people on the right are.
00:53:58.340
That's not where people on the left are, by the way.
00:54:00.380
Um, they are for what Kamala Harris stands for, which is federalizing abortion and guaranteeing
00:54:08.560
the right to abortion, at least through viability, which is 24 weeks, which is almost the third
00:54:16.380
And of course, again, from the point of conception, already an image bearer of God, equal value to
00:54:25.280
But because of that, because we're talking about human beings scientifically, they therefore
00:54:29.940
logically, philosophically, morally, theologically are entitled to human rights, the chief of
00:54:36.120
which is the right not to be murdered, the right to life.
00:54:38.180
There's a reason why the right to life comes first in the Declaration of Independence, life,
00:54:41.960
liberty, the pursuit of happiness, because neither liberty nor the pursuit of happiness would
00:54:50.100
Democrats talk about abortion as if it is the fundamental right.
00:54:58.480
No, you don't have a fundamental right to kill your child.
00:55:00.700
You have a fundamental right to not be murdered.
00:55:04.120
Abortion is the murder of innocent, helpless human beings.
00:55:08.580
And to say that it should be left up to the states is just as ridiculous as saying slavery
00:55:15.340
Now, I have I would say I don't I don't know if I've changed in my opinion on that, but
00:55:20.580
I've certainly thought harder about it since the Dobbs decision at first, of course, I'm
00:55:29.300
But then I'm realizing or I don't even know if realizing is the right word, but just being
00:55:38.280
Like there was literally a war fought over the human rights atrocity of slavery and whether
00:55:44.000
or not it should just be a state's rights issue.
00:55:58.880
Now, again, I understand that's where most Republicans are.
00:56:01.880
But also, like, there's some hypocrisy here because Trump says, yeah, this is just a state's
00:56:06.820
Well, Florida enacted a six week ban, a heartbeat bill.
00:56:11.880
Trump said in an interview that he thought it was terrible.
00:56:16.820
Are you going to respect the states that want to restrict abortion or are you not?
00:56:22.960
But if you're president saying something like that, like that carries some weight with it.
00:56:29.980
So it's I don't think that the conservative pro-life position is, yeah, the state of California
00:56:36.080
with its tens of millions of people should allow abortion subsidized by the taxpayer through
00:56:44.200
And so I just don't think this is the right direction to go.
00:56:56.580
You can always when they ask a question, say, look, Trump is on the side of life.
00:57:03.300
He's on the side of life when it when it's outside the womb, not just your physical life,
00:57:11.320
He is trying to make America healthy again so that children are not only born, that they
00:57:16.340
not only survive the womb, but also that they thrive outside of the womb.
00:57:24.340
Like, that's what you can say, because every time you say something like this, you demoralize
00:57:35.380
That's what I feel like they just don't understand.
00:57:37.240
It's their enthusiasm you need there, for lack of a better term, like evangelism.
00:57:42.880
You need their excitement to vote for Donald Trump.
00:57:45.920
And every time you say something like this, you chip away at that excitement.
00:57:49.680
And I'm telling you that there are a lot of Christian women who only vote based on this
00:57:57.560
abortion issue and they are feeling really apathetic about voting for Donald Trump.
00:58:03.940
Now, before you in the comments say, well, those women are dumb.
00:58:09.780
It doesn't matter if you think that their votes count just as much as yours.
00:58:13.460
And you are not winning them over by talking to them like that.
00:58:16.700
These are thoughtful women who need a reason to vote.
00:58:20.580
Now, I'm doing my darndest to convince those women that there is a lot on the line that I
00:58:28.180
So you don't even have to talk to me about that.
00:58:32.160
That's what the Trump campaign needs to understand.
00:58:35.900
Stop talking about abortion if you're going to compromise on it.
00:58:40.280
Just say you're on the side of life and you love life.
00:58:45.120
Look at their literal child sacrifice mobile that they have outside of the DNC.
00:58:50.280
Like, they're anti-life, both in and outside the womb.
00:58:54.100
Talk about that and then talk about all of the policies that you are going to implement
00:59:03.060
Like, I think that J.D. Vance is extremely articulate.
00:59:10.380
I'm not a Catholic myself, but I have enough Catholic friends that I talk to very often
00:59:15.480
And I'm sure they're telling you on their own shows.
00:59:21.720
I'm not even sure if you can take a union and hold a position like this within the Catholic
00:59:29.580
Just be on the side of life and be confident about it.
00:59:32.800
You don't even have to get exact at this point.
00:59:38.660
I have a lot of advice that I have given and that I will continue to give.
00:59:44.260
Not that I think that, you know, everyone is turning to me for campaign advice, nor should
00:59:49.900
I just want to give the representation of the vantage point of many evangelical women whose
00:59:55.220
enthusiasm and support the Republican ticket needs.
01:00:01.460
Thank you guys so much for watching and listening.
