Where does President Trump stand on abortion? Should pro-lifers back him? The answer is yes. But listen to my entire examination of the topic from a question we got from one of our members, Sherry in Florida, who asks, "There are church family members of mine choosing not to vote because they do not like Trump's position on abortion." Please explain why this is wrong thinking, and why you should vote for Trump. President Trump deserves credit and gratitude that we were able to have this conversation, first and foremost, because he is the most pro-life president in history! Pro-life movement was the dog that caught the car, got the reversal of Roe vs. Wade, and to be honest, was not ready for what came next. The abortion lobby is better funded, they are more aggressive, and they have tried to bully and intimidate the Pro-Life movement into the corner. This is not an issue that we have to work towards being a cultural issue, it s not one that we d like to be a part of, and that s why we need to do something about it.

00:01:26.000Sherry in Florida says, Charlie, there are church family members of mine choosing not to vote because they do not like Trump's position on abortion.
00:01:33.000Please explain why this is wrong thinking.
00:01:36.000OK, so first, thank you for being a member, Sherry, and we will get to the other questions here.
00:01:40.000But we have to we have to dive into this.
00:01:42.000So, this has been a growing story over the last couple of weeks, as President Trump gives more and more statements that people in the pro-life community are not thrilled with.
00:01:53.000Now, of course, let me just first establish, I am 100% pro-life.
00:01:58.000I'm the most pro-life person you'll find, from contesting for life on college campuses, to debating on the abortion topic, to Speaking at pregnancy crisis centers, to partnering with pre-born.
00:02:10.000Life is a very, very important issue to us here on this program.
00:02:14.000Number one, we must remember President Trump is the most pro-life president in history.
00:02:18.000President Trump gave us Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh, and the repeal of Roe versus Wade.
00:02:25.000So for somebody to say that his actions, not rhetoric, but his actions were insufficiently pro-life, I don't think there's a lot of wisdom to that argument.
00:02:35.000That when he was president, he spoke at the March for Life, he restricted the Mexico City policy saying that we will not fund abortions internationally, he put pro-life individuals throughout his cabinet that were able to accomplish pro-life victories.
00:02:51.000The pro-life movement was the dog that caught the car, got the reversal Roe vs Wade, and to be honest was not equipped and was not ready for what came next.
00:03:01.000The abortion lobby is better funded, they're more aggressive, and they went and they started winning ballot referendum after ballot referendum and has tried to bully and intimidate the pro-life movement to basically go into the corner.
00:03:16.000President Trump deserves credit and gratitude first and foremost that we were able even to have this conversation.
00:03:24.000President Trump said on Truth Social last year, quote, After 50 years of failure, with nobody coming even close, I was able to kill Roe v. Wade.
00:03:35.000President Trump, in his answer on abortion with Joe Biden, in the Joe Biden debate that ended Joe Biden's career, was a terrific answer.
00:03:44.000He brought the abortion issue to a draw.
00:03:46.000Now we must also remember, for those of us that are pro-life, when I mean pro-life, I mean no exceptions.
00:03:52.000And many of you in the audience are not probably as pro-life as I am, and that's okay.
00:03:56.000That the country is not as pro-life as we would like them to be.
00:04:00.000That the country is not on this issue we'd like them to be.
00:04:03.000Now that's a cultural issue, and one that we have to work towards.
00:04:06.000With all that being said, pro-life leaders who I really respect and really like, who I bet you could guess who they are, we had a long conference call yesterday, and they are growing very upset.
00:04:23.000Look on the Politico story, so on and so forth.
00:04:27.000And so President Trump gave a kind of an interview with Dasha Burns where he first remarked about the Florida Amendment.
00:04:36.000Now be very clear, he has not said where he's going to vote on the Florida Amendment.
00:04:40.000It accelerated last week when President Trump wrote on Truth Social that he was going to be a great president for reproductive rights for women.
00:04:49.000Now, what President Trump meant when he said that was IVF.
00:04:53.000I know that because I talked to him about it backstage at our event, and I said, President Trump, what did you mean by this?
00:04:59.000He said, I meant IVF, without hesitation.
00:05:01.000I don't anticipate he'll ever use those phrase reproductive rights again, but that's what he meant by IVF.
00:05:06.000Now, reproductive rights largely has been a term that the left and the pro-aborts have been pushing for the last couple of decades.
00:05:14.000Okay, So, Dasha Burns asked President Trump a couple questions about this.
00:05:19.000Now, the Amendment 4 has that, essentially, if it passes, I think it's a positive amendment, no bans on abortion before viability.
00:05:29.000Quote, no law shall prohibit penalized delay or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient's health as determined by the patient's health care provider.
00:05:38.000This amendment does not change the legislature's constitutional authority to require notification to a parent or guardian before a minor has an abortion.
00:05:46.000So we do not yet know how President Trump is going to vote on this.
00:05:50.000He did mention six weeks, so I think he's connecting two separate things together here with Ron DeSantis' law and then also Amendment 4, Placut 185.
00:06:00.000You overturned Roe and you want abortion to be a state's rights issue.
00:06:06.000In Florida, the state that you are a resident of, there's an abortion-related amendment on the ballot to overturn the six-week ban in Florida.
00:06:54.000And how I am going to address this, both publicly and privately, President Trump, is the pro-life movement is the backbone of the conservative movement.
00:07:03.000The pro-life movement is necessary towards victory in November.
00:07:07.000And yes, the country is not as pro-life as we'd like to be, but the pro-life movement shall not and should not be forgotten.
00:07:15.000Now understand that on this program we do not like all the exceptions that are say there.
00:07:19.000We dislike that, but politically those exceptions are practically necessary if we want to restrict the other 99.9% of abortions.
00:07:28.000Now, President Trump is at his best on this issue when he talks and he plays offense on the issue of abortion on late-term abortion.
00:07:44.000If you go with what Hillary is saying, in the ninth month, you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb of the mother, just prior to the birth of the baby.
00:07:56.000Now, you can say that that's okay, and Hillary can say that that's okay, but it's not okay with me.
00:08:03.000Because based on what she's saying and based on where she's going and where she's been, you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb in the ninth month.
00:08:39.000He's trying to navigate a very, very difficult current political terrain.
00:08:44.000And for anyone out there that is saying, I will not vote for Trump because he's not as pro-life as I am, I think is short-sighted and foolish.
00:08:51.000You can be upset and have disagreements.
00:09:56.000He can and will be a voice and a fighter for this issue that would literally die if Kamala Harris is president.
00:10:03.000So I encourage anyone out there that might not be total agreement with President Trump, take a deep breath and still vote for Trump because it's a vote for life.
00:10:12.000Okay, these questions go to our members, members.charliekirk.com.
00:10:25.000Good, so I'm trying to start my own TPUSA club at my school, and I was introducing this to the people at my school, and I was just going over it, and they viewed it as ultra-conservative.
00:10:41.000I was kind of thrown back at that comment, you know, and they were trying to tell me that, how would you feel about if there was protests at the schools?
00:11:38.000But look, you as a student have a right to be able to charter a chapter.
00:11:43.000and to be able to affiliate how you see fit and I would I would push back
00:11:48.000against it and just show them the core essence and the baseline of what
00:11:53.000Turning Point USA stands for. Let me ask you, is your school pretty liberal?
00:11:57.000Yeah, oh yeah. And I do appreciate them bringing it up to the higher authorities
00:12:02.000which you know I'm not gonna disrespect them for doing that.
00:12:05.000But, you know, just that comment, like I said, threw me off because that's not what this means, you know, what we're, what you're trying to do and TPSA is trying to do.
00:12:12.000So, you know, I just thought I would hear what you would say about it because it's important.
00:12:17.000Well, I just want to say it's all about pro-America, and it's all about the country.
00:12:21.000And if they have an issue with the country, then that's something deeper.
00:12:44.000So I recently I watched another video of yours and it was about birthright citizenship and I just didn't really know that this was a topic of debate so I was just wondering how would people go about getting citizenship if it wasn't birthright and then was this an issue that you had this stance on from the beginning or because of the illegal immigration issue?
00:13:13.000Yeah, so this is an important question.
00:13:15.000So the idea of birthright citizenship is two different things.
00:13:19.000So originally, as the Constitution is written, it's that a son or a daughter of an American citizen gets to be a citizen.
00:13:27.000We have this goofy idea in America that your location needs to all of a sudden dictate whether or not you're a U.S.
00:13:33.000So, for example, a Chinese woman, eight months pregnant, can take a flight from Shanghai to San Francisco, get off the plane, have a baby a month later, even though she has no ties to America, and her baby becomes a U.S.
00:14:00.000So, the idea of ending birthright citizenship is based on this, that it's a terrible interpretation of the 14th Amendment, which was passed to ensure freed slaves were made full citizens of the United States.
00:14:11.000It was never, ever, ever intended, ever intended, To incentivize illegal aliens especially to cross the border and have anchor babies.
00:14:20.000You might remember that phrase when President Trump talked about it.
00:14:23.000So no country in Western Europe offers birthright citizenship without exceptions like the U.S.
00:14:28.000France did away with birthright citizenship all the way back in 1993.
00:14:33.000Ireland was the last of the EU countries to abolish birthright citizenship in 2005.
00:14:38.000New Zealand and Australia both banned birthright citizenship in recent decades.
00:14:42.000Again, the 14th Amendment is what it's based on.
00:14:44.000It was not written to reward illegals or birth tourism.
00:14:49.000So why is the left therefore so crazy and so fanatical about this?
00:14:53.000Well, it's because, as a magazine The Atlantic wrote a few years back, birthright citizenship is mostly found in America because European powers established, quote, lenient laws to attract immigrants and displace native populations in the world.
00:15:06.000When they were drafting this amendment, the drafters said this was not meant to do this.
00:15:09.000It was meant to make it so America could not have residents of this country who are under our laws who are not citizens.
00:15:15.000It was clearly not meant to let people break into America, loot the country, get lifetime citizenship.
00:15:22.000It's ridiculous and it's an insane thing.
00:15:24.000I've always had this belief, but now I'm more outspoken about it.
00:15:28.000We should end birthright citizenship in this country.
00:15:32.000It's the right constitutional interpretation.
00:15:34.000Thank you, Brandon, for being a member.
00:15:47.000What is Turning Point USA going, what are your plans to work to get the youth in the bush and rural communities active and aware of the communities when communications And road systems, we only have 10% of the state with roads.
00:16:23.000But in the future, actually, we do have a project in Alaska in the next couple of years to make sure you guys get better Republicans and a better senator up there.
00:16:32.000So we're going to work on some stuff in the future there.
00:17:00.000It's hard when you're encountering because I've worked with youth and I've worked as an occupational therapist and trying to engage especially Bush kids and helping them to understand what's really going on in the lower 48 because at times they feel that that's not a part of them.
00:18:51.000They broke the law, and they've been illegally here for a couple decades, so, yeah.
00:18:57.000They weren't welcomed here, and they've been... Oh, like, as far as, like, paying lawyers and not being, like, becoming a citizen even after paying a lawyer, would it be addressing It's a lot like, you know, lawyer lobbyists and everything like that.
00:19:14.000Well, no, I mean, think of it this way.
00:19:15.000So if you own a home and somebody, like you go on vacation and you come back and somebody squats in your home, you kick them out, right?
00:19:22.000It doesn't matter if they've been there for a month or three months.
00:19:25.000These individuals have been squatting in America for the last couple decades.
00:19:28.000And yeah, I mean, they've been scammed and it's kind of like they scammed us.
00:19:32.000They came into our country and it's still our home.
00:19:36.000And I don't mean to come across as heartless, but the law must be administered without favor to the rich or the poor.
00:19:53.000They're welcome to get into line like the rest.
00:19:55.000And it doesn't matter if the person, for example, who squats in your home is rich or poor, it's still your home.
00:20:03.000So, I know that is a lot for some people to stomach, but if we even waver an inch on the administration of the law, then the law just should not exist.
00:20:26.000So, is it true that the law has been changed since January 6, 2021, when Mike Pence, as the outgoing administration's VP, was designated To break the tiebreaker or to certify the election.
00:20:58.000So the vice president is still overseeing the electoral count results, but it basically makes it a ceremonial role where before it was a little bit unclear.
00:21:10.000If Kamala Harris ends up winning, she will be overseeing her own electoral count in January of 2025.
00:21:20.000If Donald Trump ends up winning, Kamala Harris will be overseeing the electoral count of Donald Trump.
00:21:27.000Now, what the Electoral Count Act did is it does not give any flexibility whatsoever, basically, for what Donald Trump wanted Mike Pence to do, send it back to the states, send it back to state legislatures.
00:21:40.000It really handcuffs the sitting vice president and basically makes it just a letter-opening ceremonial roll.
00:21:48.000Whether or not that's good or not, it depends.
00:21:50.000I think it was actually probably a good thing to have the Vice President be a final check and balance, if there were irregularities, to send it back to the states.
00:22:01.000And so, the fight will be less in Congress, and it will be more in the certification process in the states, leading up to the electoral count and the Electoral College, which meets in mid-December.
00:23:35.000And it was really cool because today it was whether you are called upon to work or to wait or to watch or to suffer, you need to be strong.
00:23:43.000If you're not yourself strong, the very armor that you wear will be a burden to you.
00:23:47.000It is of the utmost importance that Christians should be strong in grace as they can possibly be.
00:23:51.000And the power that is to be in them is to be the power of God.
00:25:01.000So, uh, this Thursday coming up, this Thursday at 1230 PM, I will be on the campus right near the library mall.
00:25:13.000So if you want to come by 1230 at University of Wisconsin-Madison, we'll be promoting it all week.
00:25:18.000I'm just going to have a table there, answering questions, taking photos, meeting folks.
00:25:22.000So I'd love to see you, if you want to come on by.
00:25:24.000You can just email us, we'll make sure we take care of you.
00:25:27.000And then, a week from Saturday, so on September 14th, we actually haven't announced this yet, but September 14th, we are going to when Alabama visits University of Wisconsin-Madison for a football game, and we're going there.
00:25:44.000We're going to go game day, we're going to have some big Guests, and that is the morning of September 14th.
00:25:50.000So I would love to have you at either one of those.
00:25:52.000Larry, if you want to, and we need every Wisconsin Patriot to be alert, to be active, to be engaged.
00:26:08.000excluded now from certain state ballots, where do we stand on his and ultimately Trump's electoral college count regarding blue versus red states?
00:26:15.000Last Friday, RFK had a strategy of removing himself from 10 states.
00:26:17.000Great question, Wendy, the great Wendy Rogers from Arizona.
00:26:21.000So, yes, RFK will not be on the ballot in Arizona.
00:26:24.000He's going to have to sue to get off the ballot in Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina.
00:26:29.000It's going to be very hard because ballots are going out next week.
00:26:32.000So, basically, the only state where he has confirmation where he will not be on the ballot is the state of Arizona, which, Wendy, as you well know, is a major, major win to have that.
00:27:15.000Hey Charlie, just a quick question for you.
00:27:17.000So with all of the illegal immigration that's happening today, and obviously safety being a huge concern for day-to-day Americans, without having to try to be like a military or police state, what do you think the levels or indication of like a military presence at times should be for like events and everything that are starting to occur?
00:29:50.000I mean, I would find it hard to believe that the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction if the legislative branch completely screws up, but in these things, I will trust Blake's judgment.
