Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 1057 ｜ “Make America Healthy Again：” A Kennedy Endorses a Republican

00:00:00.960 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? 1.00

00:00:11.720 Also, Trump says that he is going to fight for women's quote unquote reproductive rights.

00:00:17.220 Wait a second.

00:00:18.140 What in the world does this mean?

00:00:20.280 If you love Relatable, if you could do me a favor and please leave us a five star review

00:00:25.120 on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

00:00:27.300 It really helps us out and it means so much.

00:00:30.480 Thank you guys so much for being here.

00:00:33.400 All right.

00:00:33.780 This episode is brought to you by our friends at Good Ranchers.

00:00:36.900 Go to GoodRanchers.com slash Allie.

00:00:39.560 That's GoodRanchers.com slash Allie.

00:00:51.160 Hey guys, welcome to Relatable.

00:00:53.000 Happy Monday.

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.

00:01:08.400 We won't have to be virtual anymore.

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.

00:01:26.500 So today is a Monday.

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.

00:01:39.600 And so the team will be off that 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

00:01:51.880 Monday.

00:01:52.480 But before we get into it today, and as you can imagine, we have a lot to discuss, just

00:01:56.780 a couple things.

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.

00:02:22.000 But we can trust that God is never thrown off.

00:02:24.380 He is never surprised.

00:02:25.500 He has never taken it back.

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.

00:02:37.100 He is suspended in the eternal now.

00:02:40.220 He is the same.

00:02:41.340 Hebrews 13, 8 says, yesterday, today, and forever.

00:02:45.380 He is our steadfast hope.

00:02:46.980 He is our anchor.

00:02:48.540 He is not only the author of our faith, but the finisher, the perfecter of our faith.

00:02:54.980 And we can trust that completely.

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

00:03:24.280 going on, we can always do what?

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

00:03:38.440 is the will of God.

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.

00:03:55.840 That matters to the God of the universe.

00:03:57.480 That matters in eternity.

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

00:04:18.160 purposes come to fruition.

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.

00:04:46.780 Unfortunately, that's kind of where we are.

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.

00:05:07.380 And yet, God is on his throne.

00:05:10.200 And things are good because God is good.

00:05:13.980 And he wins in the end.

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

00:05:43.280 forevermore.

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

00:06:09.400 you were born.

00:06:10.120 The same is true of your children.

00:06:11.460 The same will be true of your children's children, and so on.

00:06:15.020 He does nothing flippantly.

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

00:06:25.820 made any of us.

00:06:27.640 There wouldn't be a need for a physical world.

00:06:30.760 And yet, he created it.

00:06:33.300 And he placed us in it.

00:06:35.260 And he determines the times and the seasons.

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

00:07:01.540 a country, but will decide a portion of it.

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 0.86

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

00:08:02.520 matter.

00:08:03.720 Politics affects policy.

00:08:05.840 Policy affects people.

00:08:07.820 People are made in the image of God.

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

00:08:49.880 that are extremely consequential.

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,

00:10:05.760 for example, chaos has consequences.

00:10:13.600 All right.

00:10:14.320 Quick pause to tell you about our first sponsor for the day.

00:10:16.340 It's Adele Natural Cosmetics.

00:10:17.920 I love Adele Natural Cosmetics.

00:10:19.520 I use their skincare every day.

00:10:21.840 I love their Blue Lagoon line.

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.

00:10:30.720 I really just use their oil-based stuff.

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

00:10:38.320 the fine lines and wrinkles.

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.

00:10:49.840 It's all natural ingredients.

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.

00:11:04.100 And their products really, really work.

00:11:06.080 So it's just a win all around.

00:11:08.000 If you go to AdeleNaturalCosmetics.com, use code ALLY for 25% off your first-time purchase.

00:11:14.480 AdeleNaturalCosmetics.com, code ALLY.

00:11:16.420 When I look at these two tickets, and as we will talk about today, I certainly don't see

00:11:25.500 perfection on either ticket.

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.

00:11:35.460 I see more chaos on Kamala Harris's side. 1.00

00:11:38.320 I see more order on Donald Trump's side.

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

00:11:58.240 radical.

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 0.99

00:12:12.620 she really is just serving her masters in the abortion and LGBTQ lobby, that she will sacrifice 0.97

00:12:19.480 the constitutional rights of journalists like David Daleiden, pro-life pregnancy centers, as

00:12:24.740 long as it serves her abortion donors. 0.66

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

00:12:42.580 of time.

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.

00:13:24.680 These aren't hyperbolic stories.

00:13:27.420 These are not fables to make a point.

00:13:30.100 They're real.

00:13:31.260 This is congressional testimony.

00:13:33.080 And she said, no, those babies that survive abortion, they do not have a right to health

00:13:38.500 care. 0.70

00:13:38.820 They should die struggling for breath alone. 0.99

00:13:42.220 That is Kamala Harris and so much more. 0.81

00:13:46.240 But she is on the side of unmitigated chaos. 0.97

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

00:14:04.260 have the obligation to.

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.

00:14:25.180 And so we'll be really honest about that.

00:14:28.360 I'm certainly not afraid to critique Trump and his rhetoric and his, some of his policy

00:14:33.740 positions.

00:14:34.360 But when you're voting for the lesser of two evils, you are voting for more goodness to

00:14:43.180 be preserved when you have the lesser evil.

00:14:45.620 And by the way, every single election in the history of the United States has been a choice

00:14:52.120 between the lesser of two evils.

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

00:15:20.720 president, it's, I mean, it's Donald Trump.

00:15:23.360 I don't think George Bush fits the bill.

00:15:26.200 I don't think George H.W.

00:15:27.700 Bush fits the bill.

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.

00:16:12.340 We still are today.

00:16:13.700 And when I'm looking at that, there's just no question.

00:16:17.700 There's no question.

00:16:19.020 The right decision.

00:16:19.860 Is it the perfect decision?

00:16:20.960 There will never be a perfect decision.

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 1.00

00:16:33.440 to power and the kind of mean calloused person she is. 1.00

00:16:36.360 Donald Trump is certainly no saint.

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

00:16:52.680 Trump than I do Kamala Harris. 0.99

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

00:17:15.200 Trump campaign.

00:17:16.240 And I think that we should be free to do that.

00:17:18.040 Like, I don't think that we should be afraid to criticize and critique and to voice our

00:17:22.500 perspective that we should shy away from that.

00:17:27.580 I think we still should.

00:17:29.320 I think it's the honest thing to do.

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.

00:17:50.120 Y'all, I am so excited.

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

00:18:06.660 of tickets that we've, that we've sold.

00:18:08.580 It'll be, it's, it's amazing.

00:18:10.200 It's amazing already, but I think the final number will just be incredible.

00:18:13.440 So praise God for that.

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

00:18:29.320 in this crazy time.

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

00:18:37.100 we're on the side of goodness.

00:18:39.080 It's not a political conference.

00:18:41.180 We're not even talking about politics.

00:18:43.020 It's really just theological and equipping.

00:18:45.740 How do we contend with all of these cultural changes that are happening in a biblical and

00:18:50.860 loving and joyful way?

00:18:52.700 So that's one big reason why I'm excited, but I'm also excited because guys, we have

00:19:00.220 a speaker that I haven't announced yet.

00:19:02.880 Sorry.

00:19:03.300 If you're watching this, there's like a fly right in front of me.

00:19:05.300 That's really annoying.

00:19:06.340 Um, I'm super excited, super excited about this speaker that I cannot announce yet.

00:19:11.640 I'm going to announce it next week.

00:19:13.200 I'll announce it next Tuesday.

00:19:14.880 If you have your guesses, you can drop them below in the YouTube comments, but I'm so pumped.

00:19:20.600 This is big.

00:19:21.660 Okay.

00:19:22.060 So I took some of your guesses on Instagram and a lot of y'all never need to consider

00:19:28.380 going on the prices, right?

00:19:29.980 Because guessing is just not your forte.

00:19:32.840 That's okay.

00:19:33.740 That's okay.

00:19:34.180 We still love you.

00:19:35.120 But like, let's look at some context clues.

00:19:37.880 It's Christian conference.

00:19:39.300 So that's one, some of the suggestions.

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.

00:23:21.180 He knows that he's not going to win.

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

00:23:32.600 conviction.

00:23:33.380 I would urge you not to.

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

00:24:02.860 our children.

00:24:04.340 And so get behind this guy.

00:24:06.420 And of course, he's right about that.

00:24:08.840 He's right.

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.

00:24:27.680 But he was against the mandates.

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

00:24:57.780 of it now.

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. 0.56

00:25:10.020 He was also dealing with the fact that this was an election.

00:25:12.620 And also we had riots going on.

00:25:14.740 There was so much going on during this time.

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.

00:25:28.480 So here's a summary of what went down.

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.

00:25:43.600 Like very iconic, very iconic.

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

00:26:13.340 waves.

00:26:13.620 So he made an announcement earlier in the day where he explained his reasoning for dropping

00:26:18.820 out.

00:26:19.420 He said he doesn't see a pathway to victory.

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.

00:26:35.140 any security, even though he is a nominee.

00:26:39.540 He's a candidate for the presidency.

00:26:42.200 He wanted security.

00:26:43.900 He needed security, maybe as much as the other candidates.

00:26:48.620 Um, and yet he didn't get that.

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

00:27:20.880 candidate, I mean, that's pretty incredible.

00:27:24.360 So in his speech, he explains all of that.

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.

00:27:47.100 Biden was only mentioned twice in four days.

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. 0.93

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 1.00

00:28:26.700 believing that voters are stupid. 1.00

00:28:29.200 Here's top one. 1.00

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

00:28:47.940 in a highly produced Chicago circus.

00:28:51.760 There, in Chicago, a string of Democratic speakers mentioned Donald Trump 147 times just on the first

00:29:01.980 day.

00:29:02.340 He then compared Biden and the DNC to Vladimir Putin, which is such an apt and interesting 1.00

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.

00:30:17.760 I mean, that's all that's 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?

00:30:27.660 She was so unpopular in the election.

00:30:30.440 She wasn't even popular before she ran for president. 1.00

00:30:35.180 I mean, obviously, that's why she didn't do well at all in the 2020 election, like embarrass embarrassingly 1.00

00:30:41.740 horribly.

00:30:42.180 I mean, yet she was picked for the VP. 0.98

00:30:45.340 So I think I personally think this plan and plot goes back much, much further than that

00:30:51.360 horrible debate in June for President Biden.

00:30:54.760 But I agree that it was everything.

00:30:57.980 The plan was precipitated after that debate.

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

00:31:15.100 what we have to do.

00:31:16.340 He needs to step aside.

00:31:17.420 He's not ready.

00:31:18.320 Where is he, by the way?

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

00:31:23.360 White House right now.

00:31:24.220 I'm sure it's nothing good because we've been so distracted by this campaign.

00:31:27.900 But then Kamala Harris was pushed forward. 1.00

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.

00:31:38.680 And everyone knows she's very vapid.

00:31:40.740 She's very similar to to Veep in the show.

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 0.97

00:31:55.640 magnanimous person who leads with strength through joy, that they keep saying it's joy,

00:32:02.640 it's joy, it's joy.

00:32:04.020 It's it's so strange.

00:32:05.340 And people have pointed out that strength through joy was actually like a Nazi motto.

00:32:10.800 I don't think that's intentional.

00:32:12.720 I just think it's weird.

00:32:13.760 I just think it's weird to borrow a word that campaign seems to love to use.

00:32:19.760 And it's completely manufactured by the media.

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. 0.85

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. 0.84

00:33:37.920 I know this sounds conspiratorial, but a puppet of the deep state. 0.97

00:33:41.300 She is.

00:33:42.200 That's why she was chosen, because she is going to be compliant with her handlers.

00:33:46.540 Okay, y'all, I love Cozy Earth.

00:33:53.920 I love my Cozy Earth sheets.

00:33:55.620 They are so soft.

00:33:56.740 They're temperature regulating.

00:33:57.960 They're so luxurious.

00:33:59.280 I could hardly sleep on any other kinds of sheets because I have been so spoiled by Cozy Earth.

00:34:05.420 Also, they're loungewear.

00:34:06.920 I've never had softer loungewear.

00:34:08.840 I just got a quarter zip from there.

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.

00:34:34.060 I also love their bath towels.

00:34:36.300 That's a great way to go.

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.

00:35:10.500 This is what we got to do.

00:35:11.360 We got to come together.

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.

00:36:00.620 OK, that's good.

00:36:02.020 I think that is an amazing message for suburban moms, because a lot of moms were voting for RFK.

00:36:12.460 And I was always told, no, that's not true.

00:36:15.640 No conservative suburban mom is voting for RFK. 0.98

00:36:19.020 I was told that relentlessly.

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.

00:36:46.620 And they were voting for him.

00:36:48.680 And I always knew that he was taking more Republican votes than Democrat votes.

00:36:53.220 That's another thing that I kept hearing that.

00:36:55.240 Oh, no, it's good for RFK to be running because he's taking some Democrat votes away from Kamala.

00:37:00.480 It's mostly Democrat votes that he's taking.

00:37:02.340 And I'm like, you guys are out of your mind.

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.

00:37:13.720 And it is going to help Trump.

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.

00:37:23.660 And so I do think it matters.

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.

00:37:39.200 This is top three.

00:37:40.480 Will you have others?

00:37:41.560 Will you campaign for?

00:37:42.560 Yeah, I'm going to be campaigning actively.

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.

00:38:01.920 And so does President Trump.

00:38:03.240 OK, so on the one hand, adding more Democrats to the campaign.

00:38:10.640 Could be a good thing, obviously.

00:38:12.840 I mean, it could bring in some moderates.

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. 0.64

00:38:35.900 She's very articulate, very smart.

00:38:37.260 I like a lot about Tulsi Gabbard.

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. 0.67

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.

00:41:53.320 But I understand. I understand that.

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. 0.75

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.

00:42:51.980 But maybe it is a win for some form of sanity.

00:42:56.520 Last sponsor for the day is Good Ranchers. Labor Day is coming up, and so you might be grilling out.

00:43:52.940 okay, is this meat really high-quality?

00:43:54.600 Is it really from America?

00:43:55.860 Oh my gosh, inflation is affecting the prices so much.

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.

00:44:42.920 And then what happened?

00:44:44.700 Biden stepped aside.

00:44:46.540 Kamala Harris came in and all of a sudden it was all about Kamala Harris and how beautiful

00:44:49.800 and wonderful and awesome and amazing she is.

00:44:53.540 So the air was sucked out of the Trump campaign.

00:44:56.520 Like they were riding high on that.

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.

00:45:12.320 No one even cared about that.

00:45:13.540 No one talked about that anymore.

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. 0.86

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

00:45:40.660 for people.

00:45:42.400 25 plus babies were aborted through medication abortion right outside the DNC.

00:45:47.240 I mean, that's just child sacrifice. 0.95

00:45:48.680 That alone should be a reason not to vote for Democrats because they endorsed that.

00:45:53.100 They love that stuff.

00:45:54.620 But they felt like they had a great DNC.

00:45:56.620 They felt like it was very enthusiastic and very joyful.

00:45:59.880 And, of course, they lied.

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. 0.81

00:46:14.880 I mean, just crazy.

00:46:16.240 What a gimmick.

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.

00:46:24.080 So I think this was very good strategy.

00:46:26.960 They completely sucked the air out of the DNC enthusiasm and magic that they felt like

00:46:32.340 they had after the DNC.

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

00:46:42.460 much better than they were.

00:46:44.600 So I'm kind of getting the feeling like, okay, now we're cooking.

00:46:47.220 Now we're cooking.

00:46:48.260 Now things are picking up.

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. 1.00

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

00:47:10.280 can do the same thing as Joe Biden did.

00:47:12.120 She can just hide away.

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,

00:47:21.820 not likable herself.

00:47:23.620 So she has to rely on the media to do that for her, to create her into something that 0.98

00:47:29.880 she's not, and she can just stay quiet.

00:47:33.020 Um, so that's what her plan is.

00:47:35.180 And she is betting that most people are going to vote based on vibes.

00:47:42.240 And that's sad.

00:47:43.880 You should prove her wrong.

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

00:48:02.600 and also for the people around you.

00:48:05.440 Now, uh, Trump and Vance have doubled down on their position on abortion because Democrats,

00:48:13.440 they worship abortion. 0.84

00:48:15.200 They worship child sacrifice.

00:48:16.620 This is their issue for them.

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.

00:48:27.780 They mean abortion. 0.97

00:48:28.920 When they say, oh, we care about your health.

00:48:32.640 They mean abortion. 0.97

00:48:34.720 That is basically what every euphemism they use is referring to abortion and your abnormal

00:48:42.140 sexual choices.

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

00:48:52.680 rights.

00:48:52.960 That's not what they're referring to.

00:48:54.640 Like we've already seen that with walls.

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 0.94

00:49:09.860 facilities to operate at full scale.

00:49:13.040 We saw that with Kamala Harris when she tried to force pregnancy centers as attorney general of 1.00

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? 0.95

00:49:26.420 They don't care about your right to speech, your right to religious liberty, your right to

00:49:30.580 protest.

00:49:31.300 They don't care about those things.

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 0.98

00:49:44.760 sex and institutionalizing the celebration of, uh, of being gay. 0.99

00:49:53.020 That's basically what it is.

00:49:54.220 That's what they mean, uh, by freedom.

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 0.91

00:50:06.680 to be freer, um, under a Harris presidency.

00:50:10.100 And unfortunately, many women believe that they believe that their right to kill their child is 1.00

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

00:50:26.420 get those people to vote for them.

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.

00:50:39.460 Now, does he actually mean abortion?

00:50:42.280 Is he trying to be tongue in cheek?

00:50:43.620 Does he mean like other forms of reproduction?

00:50:46.680 I don't know.

00:50:47.360 He should have been clear about this.

00:50:49.340 I think he did clarify to like a few people in some Pennsylvania, I don't know, but he

00:50:53.760 wasn't clear.

00:50:54.460 He was, I think, purposely obscure.

00:50:56.500 I mean, this is obviously the euphemism that's used by the pro-abortion crowd, um, to talk

00:51:01.680 about abortion.

00:51:02.400 Of course, it's a misnomer because if you're at the point of abortion, then you, uh, then

00:51:09.580 you've already reproduced.

00:51:10.640 You have the right already to reproduce woman as you see fit. 1.00

00:51:14.800 What you do not have the right to do is to kill your child. 0.99

00:51:18.040 Consent to sex is consent to pregnancy and grow up. 0.99

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

00:51:48.920 murder.

00:51:49.280 Uh, that's an image bearer of God and it's not a reproductive right. 1.00

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

00:52:01.600 on it.

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

00:52:22.060 RFK endorsing Trump.

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.

00:52:36.420 True.

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

00:53:01.640 he veto it?

00:53:02.760 And here's what JD Vance said.

00:53:04.380 Stop four. 0.70

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?

00:53:14.620 I can absolutely commit that, Kristen.

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

00:53:22.800 abortion question?

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, 1.00

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.

00:53:52.440 Now, I completely disagree with that.

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

00:54:12.600 trimester.

00:54:13.080 It's absolutely insane.

00:54:14.360 And the baby can feel pain before that.

00:54:16.380 And of course, again, from the point of conception, already an image bearer of God, equal value to

00:54:21.200 anyone outside of the womb.

00:54:22.480 So it's all just absolutely egregious.

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

00:54:46.080 exist without the right to life.

00:54:47.780 It is the most fundamental right.

00:54:50.100 Democrats talk about abortion as if it is the fundamental right.

00:54:54.180 That's what Oprah did at the DNC. 1.00

00:54:56.560 This is your fundamental right. 0.98

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. 0.97

00:55:08.580 And to say that it should be left up to the states is just as ridiculous as saying slavery 0.95

00:55:13.680 should be left up to the states.

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

00:55:26.780 like, yes, it's back to the states.

00:55:28.080 It's always what we wanted.

00:55:29.300 But then I'm realizing or I don't even know if realizing is the right word, but just being

00:55:34.340 able to articulate.

00:55:35.540 Wait, no, no, no.

00:55:36.600 This can't be a state's rights issue.

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.

00:55:47.880 I mean, it is the parallel is stunning.

00:55:51.900 There couldn't be a more apt comparison.

00:55:54.640 And so it really isn't.

00:55:56.900 It really shouldn't 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

00:56:06.180 rights issue.

00:56:06.820 Well, Florida enacted a six week ban, a heartbeat bill.

00:56:10.900 And what did Trump say?

00:56:11.880 Trump said in an interview that he thought it was terrible.

00:56:15.520 And so what is it like?

00:56:16.820 Are you going to respect the states that want to restrict abortion or are you not?

00:56:21.120 I mean, I guess you can share your opinion.

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

00:56:41.700 all nine months.

00:56:43.120 Of course not.

00:56:44.200 And so I just don't think this is the right direction to go.

00:56:47.760 Again, I would say just stop talking about it.

00:56:50.820 Stop talking about it.

00:56:52.440 And I would you can always off the skates.

00:56:54.940 You can always pivot.

00:56:56.580 You can always when they ask a question, say, look, Trump is on the side of life.

00:57:00.900 He's he's on the side of life inside the womb.

00:57:03.300 He's on the side of life when it when it's outside the womb, not just your physical life,

00:57:09.300 but he wants to make people's lives better.

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.

00:57:22.100 And that's why we're doing X, Y, Z on health.

00:57:24.340 Like, that's what you can say, because every time you say something like this, you demoralize

00:57:29.420 the pro-lifers whose votes you need.

00:57:32.560 And it's not just the votes that you need.

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 1.00

00:57:57.560 abortion issue and they are feeling really apathetic about voting for Donald Trump. 1.00

00:58:03.940 Now, before you in the comments say, well, those women are dumb. 1.00

00:58:07.440 Those women aren't thinking it. 1.00

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. 1.00

00:58:20.580 Now, I'm doing my darndest to convince those women that there is a lot on the line that I 0.89

00:58:26.240 think Trump does so much better on.

00:58:28.180 So you don't even have to talk to me about that.

00:58:30.740 But that's the truth.

00:58:32.160 That's what the Trump campaign needs to understand.

00:58:34.440 You are chipping away at their enthusiasm.

00:58:35.900 Stop talking about abortion if you're going to compromise on it.

00:58:39.000 Just be vague.

00:58:40.280 Just say you're on the side of life and you love life.

00:58:43.160 And look where Democrats are on abortion.

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

00:58:57.760 to support life in and outside of the womb.

00:59:00.800 My gosh, that's PR 101.

00:59:03.060 Like, I think that J.D. Vance is extremely articulate.

00:59:05.680 And I know he's also a Catholic.

00:59:08.200 And this is not a tenable Catholic position.

00:59:10.380 I'm not a Catholic myself, but I have enough Catholic friends that I talk to very often

00:59:14.140 about this kind of thing.

00:59:15.480 And I'm sure they're telling you on their own shows.

00:59:17.520 Like, uh-uh, this is not it.

00:59:20.000 This is not a tenable Catholic position.

00:59:21.720 I'm not even sure if you can take a union and hold a position like this within the Catholic

00:59:25.540 church.

00:59:27.380 So I would say reverse course.

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.

00:59:36.740 That would be, that's my advice.

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

00:59:49.440 they.

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.

00:59:58.660 So that's my thought on that.

01:00:00.080 All right, that's all I got time for today.

01:00:01.460 Thank you guys so much for watching and listening.

01:00:04.400 We will be back here tomorrow.

01:00:05.740 Thank you.

01:00:13.500 Bye-bye.

01:00:21.700 Bye-bye.

01:00:21.780 Bye-bye.

01:00:22.120 Bye-bye.

01:00:29.640 Bye-bye.

01:00:30.860 Bye-bye.

01:00:33.460 Bye-bye.

01:00:34.320 Bye-bye.

01:00:34.680 Bye-bye.
