but i want to move on to our featured story which is about abortion and as you know trump has been
really struggling on this abortion issue for a while and let me start out by saying this
there's something ironic here which is that i am as pro-life as it gets because i'm catholic
but unlike many pro-lifers i was willing to be a little bit charitable to trump on this issue
because unlike many pro-lifers i am willing to acknowledge that it is
an electoral liability for republicans ever since the dobbs decision in june 2022
republicans have been had been
getting a lot of the Spirit of Justice in the indica state for hillclimb states andоновara state
will now be under his right for trial on meeting like standard by saying i have a situation where you
getting killed by the abortion issue on various state referendums, in the midterms, in special
elections. It's just true. And it's not just in blue states, in red states too. In red states,
Republicans, where they have coincided with abortion referendums, have suffered
because the Dobbs decision has activated women, Republican and Democrat, to turn out and vote
for Democrats. That's just true. And so unlike many of the pro-lifers, and if you go back and
watch my show, you'll see I've been consistent in this. I was willing to tolerate Trump downplaying
the issue for political reasons. So for example, during the primary, he went to a town hall and he
basically said, look, we have to win an election. We have to win an election. So I'm not supporting
a federal abortion.
Ban. And I said, you know what? He's right. It is politics. And people say, well, it's about
morality. Well, that is true. But in order to change the policies, you do have to win the
election. I said, so within reason, within reason, I'm willing to tolerate him circumventing the
issue or avoiding the issue or downplaying the issue, being clever about it.
So I just want to preface it by saying this. I totally understand that line of reasoning,
and I get it. But yesterday, Trump came out and said that he supports an amendment in the state
of Florida which changes the law so that people can get an abortion after six weeks. Trump said
six weeks is not enough time to get an abortion. I support more abortions. And this is after Vance
said that not only would they not support a federal abortion ban, they would veto it if it
came across their desk.
Now, that's a big difference. Because it's a big difference to say, I will not propose a federal
abortion ban and saying I would veto a federal abortion ban. Saying he won't propose one is
passive. It's a recusal. It says, well, hey, I will sit this one out and I will let the states
decide it. It won't be an issue. It's a recusal. It's a recusal. It's a recusal. It's a recusal.
It's an issue for me. But saying I will veto it is not passive. It's active. It's saying that even
if a Republican legislature put forward a federal ban, I would strike it down and oppose it.
That's pro-choice. That's different. That's saying you would protect abortion in some of
these states. And then to go further and say, I want more abortion. Once again, you're now no
longer recusing yourself. You're not downplaying. You're not circumventing. You're now actively
supporting. So there were three big policy changes. It was veto an abortion ban.
Now it's he's against the amendment in the state of Florida. And the other thing they said is
federal funding, taxpayer funding for in vitro fertilization, which is contrary to Catholic
morality. It would be similar to...
Catholic funded contraception or Catholic funded abortion. And Trump said he supports that. So
these are three issues where you're now affirming something that is morally wrong and against social
conservatives. Then today he backtracked on the Florida amendment and said actually he was
changing his vote. So this is a story from BBC. It's his quote. Donald Trump has said he will
vote against a ballot measure in his home state of Florida that would protect abortion rights.
After facing backlash from conservative supporters. The former president's announcement came one day
after an NBC news interview in which he appeared to support the measure, a statement that caused
anti-abortion activists to openly criticize him. On Friday, Trump told Fox News that he still thinks
Florida's ban on abortions after six weeks is too strict. However, he said he would still vote no
on a measure that would amend the state's constitution to protect abortion rights.
He said, you need more time than six weeks. I've disagreed with that right from the early primaries
when I heard about it. He then falsely alleged that Democrats support allowing borsches at any
point during a pregnancy. Abortion laws vary widely across the U.S., but procedures after 21
weeks of pregnancy are rare and related to fetal anomalies. The Republican nominee's decision to
vote against the Florida measure came one day after asked by NBC how he would vote.
His Democratic opponent,
was quick to respond to Trump's announcement, saying it was indicative of his anti-abortion
stance. Conservative pundit Eric Erickson wrote about his comments yesterday, if Donald Trump
loses, today is the day he lost. The committed pro-life community could turn a blind eye in part
to national abortion issues, but for Trump to weigh in on Florida as he did will be a bridge
too far for many.
And here's the thing.
We have to separate out for a moment what we want and what is politically possible,
and then talk about what is politically possible. So I wish that abortion would be banned
across the board. But unfortunately, abortion is too popular. It's so popular that women will vote
for abortion and they will tolerate everything else. Think about this.
That's where we are.
We probably would have been on track for a red wave in 2022 and even more so for a red wave in 2024.
The only thing that is holding back Trump and the only thing that the Democrats can run on
is abortion. That's it. And specifically, it is women. It is women who are registering to vote
in record numbers, turning out to vote in record numbers, and voting for Democrats in states where
abortion is on the ballot in state referendums. And they're voting in favor of abortion
even against their conscience on issues like inflation, border security, World War III.
In other words, nothing is more important to women, not the economy, not public services,
not World War III, than abortion, than protecting their right to kill,
their own children in the womb. That tells you how bad the problem is in the country.
That tells you it's a spiritual crisis. And our problems go far deeper than just the political.
That women will turn out at any cost and at the exclusion of every other issue to vote in favor
for killing the unborn. And when you see what an abortion really is, it is murder.
The fetuses they're killing have faces. They have fingers. They have spinal cords.
The only difference is they haven't been born yet, but they are
left alone. Without interference, they would be babies. And they're conceived by the procreative
marital act. And what is happening is that women are going around having casual sex with guys
who they have no intention of marrying. They get unlucky. They get married. They get married. They
get lucky. Unlucky, they say, with the quote-unquote unplanned pregnancy. And then they
choose to kill the baby rather than carrying it to term. Because the lifestyle they want
is to be independent, a professional, to carry on having casual sex.
And people don't realize the connection, but these things are directly related. People view abortion
as this compartment, but it's deeply connected.
There would be no abortions or almost no abortions if everyone was having sex within
marriage. Because that means that all sex would be with a lifelong, long-term partner.
All children would be planned. I mean, the only time you get an abortion
is if it is a form of birth control, if you didn't want kids necessarily, or
maybe if the life of the mother were threatened or in the case of a rape.
But there would be far fewer.
And the reason you get abortion now is because women want to go and hook up. They want to go and
have sex without having the kids. But you can't do that. Because sex is, by its very nature,
it is essentially a procreative act. And every attempt to thwart God's design like this
always ends in abominations and unspeakable evil. Casual sex ends in abortions.
Marrying outside the church ends in divorce.
Which leads to children with mental problems. Gay marriage and homosexuality leads to an AIDS
epidemic. Monkey pox. Sodomy. Pedophilia. Molestation. Permanent trauma. Every attempt
to thwart God's plan and design for sexuality, surprise, surprise, ends in horror and abominations.
And anyway, it's really neither here nor there.
I suppose abortion, but sadly, this is the country as it is.
Now, if we ran on a platform of banning contraception and banning divorce
and banning porn and banning abortion and banning gay marriage and banning
adultery, you could never win a single state in the United States. But yet,
we would still like to win elections. So there is somewhere between running on a full Catholic
doctrine and running on something that is winnable.
And I think that Trump taking a recusal approach for abortion at the federal level is an acceptable
compromise. I know we don't love that. I don't love that. But it's an acceptable compromise.
It's not pro-choice, although it's not actively pro-life. And we can recognize that Roe versus
Wade was a huge victory. There will still be far fewer abortions than before.
Because the alternative is that a Democrat might get in and protect abortion at the federal level.
And so the question is, do you want to have states with no abortion or do you want to have
all states be in favor of abortion? That's really what we're defending at this point.
And I think that's kind of as much as we can hope for, unfortunately, the way things are
without massive social change. But Trump coming out and saying, I will veto a federal abortion ban
and I'm voting in favor of undoing abortion restrictions in a very conservative state.
Well, this is now a pro-choice ticket. That's very different. This is not a recusal. This is
now actively pro-choice. It's not passively pro-life. It's actively pro-choice. Now,
people have said, well, this is just more good politics. I've seen a lot of Trump supporters
attack pro-life. I've seen a lot of Trump supporters attack pro-life. I've seen a lot of
pro-lifers for criticizing this. Pro-lifers say, why would we vote for Trump? Single-issue
pro-life voters who may not even be super conservative, but they're very pro-life and
very Christian. They say, we're single-issue voters. We don't want to see babies killed in
the womb. It was bad before, but now it's too far. Republicans and Trump supporters are attacking
the pro-lifers and saying, why don't you just shut the fuck up and vote for Trump?
They say, this is good politics.
He's trying to win an election. But this is the issue with all the issues.
It almost seems like Trump realizes that he can get away with anything with his base.
He can cuck on immigration and conservatives will vote for him no matter what. He can cuck on race
and conservatives will vote for him no matter what. He can cuck on economics and Israel.
He can cuck on abortion and everyone will vote for him no matter what on our side.
And so, in other words, there is...
There is zero political cost to throwing the base under the bus. And therefore, even if there's a
marginal chance that he could convert a Democrat on any issue, he's going to try to appease them.
So he's going to be in favor of open borders, foreign wars, Paul Ryan tax cut agenda, and
abortion. Because if there's even a 1% chance that a moderate or an independent or a Democrat might
convert, well, that is an exception. That is an exception. That is an exception. That is an exception.
unacceptable cost-benefit approach because there's zero cost to throwing the conservative
base under the bus because they don't matter, because they will always vote for Trump no matter
what. And I have been saying from the beginning that that is exactly the problem. That's actually
not good politics. It's not good politics because the people that you can count on to turn out and
vote are your base. Your base votes for you because you represent them. The other side
votes for the other side because the other side represents the other side.
So if you pander to the other side, maybe the other side votes for you. Most likely they won't,
but your side, your base will not. So actually, there is a hard limit to how much
you can turn the conservative base under Trump no matter what. And I have been saying from the
you can pander to and appease the opposition. A lot of Republicans seem not to realize this.
Every time Trump cucks or goes left, every time Trump goes to appease the Democrats,
Trump supporters cheer it on. And they say, this is brilliant. Robert Kennedy on the ticket,
brilliant. Democrats in the administration, brilliant. Pro-choice, brilliant. Nogs at the
RNC, brilliant. A Sikh prayer, brilliant. Mass immigration, brilliant. Pro-Israel, brilliant.
Why doesn't he just change his registration to Democrat? Then he can win all the votes.
You know what would be the most genius move of all? Just become a Democrat.
Just take all of Kamala's policies. Then everyone will vote for Trump.
Because Republicans will vote for Trump just because,
no matter what, they're going to vote for Trump.
And Democrats will vote for Democrat policies. So Trump should just become a Democrat,
and then everyone will vote for him. And that's genius politics.
There's no hard limit. The further left you go, the more strategic it is.
The more issues you cuck on, the more brilliant it is.
The more practical it is, the more he demonstrates a willingness to win.
Because he's converting everyone.
So 100% of Republicans will vote for Trump. And if he adopts all of Kamala's positions,
then 100% of Democrats will vote for Trump. And that means 100% of Americans will vote for Trump.
And he'll have 532 electoral college votes.
Because that's how it works.
Or 5, what is it, 538, 530, however many there are, there's no upper limit.
Obviously, that's not true. And it's obviously not true because
pro-choice Democrats trust the Democrat nominee, who is also a woman, a woman implicitly
on abortion.
Look at the polling. 80% of voters trust Kamala Moore on reproductive rights.
So when Trump cucks on abortion, do you know how many pro-choice Democrats or pro-choice women
change their mind and vote for Trump? Zero.
You tell me, are there any women that you know of, theoretically or in real life,
who are dyed-in-the-wool, pro-choice,
Democrat women, or even Republican for that matter, they are scared about Project 2025,
they think Trump is coming for their uterus, and Trump goes out and says,
six weeks isn't enough. And they go, oh, I think I'm going to give him another look and vote for
Trump now. Zero. Zero. But how many evangelicals, how many Christians will look at Trump cucking on
abortion and say, I can't vote for Trump? Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero.
Trump anymore, because it violates my conscience.
A lot. And which do you think there are more of? Do you think there are more pro-choice voters
who are going to convert and vote for Trump based upon this announcement? Or do you think there are
more pro-Trump, pro-life voters who are not going to vote for Trump because of the statement?
One for the former,
two for the latter. One for there's more Democrat converts, two for there's more Republican
conscientious objectors that will not vote for Trump because of the statement. What do you think?
You think he's winning more votes with the statement or losing more? I think he's losing
more. And I think that's obvious. And by the way, that means it's not good politics.
And you have all these Republicans out there, they're like, oh, these pro-lifers.
I saw Darren,
Beatty calling him cattle. Darren Beatty says, I don't care about abortion.
You know, and I think Darren Beatty is OK, but he is a Jew. OK, I think he's OK. He is a Jew. He's
a proud Jew. I think he'd like people to forget that. But Darren Beatty, if you saw him, it's
just disgusting. On his timeline, he's going, I don't give a shit about abortion. And if you
care about it, you're cattle. Why don't you just call him Goyim, Darren? Hey, Darren, why don't
you just call him Goyim? Why don't you just call him stupid Goyim? Because we all know that's what
you'd like to say. That's why you said you're not America first, your excellence first, because you
don't believe in our flag. You don't believe in our country. You fucking hate the Trump base.
You like the idea of the Trump base. You don't actually like the real Trump base. They're all
suckers. You know, if you're clipping their fucking coins and sacrificing their children,
by stealing them at night, well, they're just suckers. They're just stupid cattle, stupid Goyim.
Only stupid Goyim would cry over a dead Palestinian child. Only a stupid Goyim would cry over an
aborted black person. Only a stupid Goyim would find it immoral to kill refugees, even if we
don't want them here. Right? Because you're a Nietzschean. You're a Nietzschean, Straussian
overman, right?
Fucking tough guy. It's tough to kill babies and innocents and the vulnerable. That's really tough.
And there's all the difference in the world, by the way, between being strong
and not being civilized. The essence, the beating essence of the heart of European civilization
is Christ on the cross, a loving sacrifice for those that wanted him dead.
So before all the Jews come in and say, well, if you're not ready to kill migrants and do abortions
and blow up Hamas, well, you don't have what it takes. I would say shut the fuck up because you
don't understand European white Western civilization, not one bit. And that's why Israel is
a land of fucking pedophiles and perverts and sick fucks. That's the difference. That's why it's full
of blood sucking vampires.
Parasites. Big difference. Oh, yeah. We're all just cattle. You know what? Fuck face. Europeans
invented fucking everything. Not Jews. Europeans invented everything. Europeans invented flight.
Europeans invented cars. Europeans invented everything. Yeah, we're all cattle, though.
I think Jews should stop calling us cattle. I'm getting really sick. I don't care how
based they are. I don't care if they studied Heidegger.
I'm sick of Jews calling Christians cattle.
That's just true. So anyway. And it's not that I don't understand politics. I do.
You don't understand politics if you think you can shit on Christians
and shit on the Christian base that supports this abominable atheist gay Jewish Republican Party.
And when they revolt, you say, well, you just don't understand. It's good politics. Fuck you.
It's always good politics to screw over America. It's always good politics to screw over Christians.
It's always good politics to screw over vulnerable people. Right. And when they revolt, well, they're
just too stupid to get it. You get, you know, people like Mike Cernovich and Ashley St. Clair
and Darren Beatty. They're going to go now.
Now they're the arbiters of morality. Mike Cernovich talking about what a real Christian is.
Oh, really? When did you become a Christian, Mike Cernovich? Yesterday? And what does that mean to
you? Oh, I'm sorry. What is Jesus Christ? You see him in an ayahuasca trip. Now Mike Cernovich is
going to be the Mike Cernovich says the pro-lifers are not real Christians because they won't vote
for Trump. Sorry, Mike. Who is Jesus? Is he a clockwork elf that you saw on an ayahuasca trip?
That you saw on a DMT trip with Jacob Wall and Joe Rogan or something? I don't think you know the
first thing about Jesus Christ. Actually, you know, all these Jews and Jew lovers only want to
talk about Jesus when it comes to the election. They only want to talk about Christians when
Christians don't want to vote for their pro-Israel, pro-Saudi Arabia, pro-Emirati candidate.
That's just a fact.
Same with that. Ashley St. Clair is going to talk. And, you know, look, Ashley St. Clair,
you know, she's not a complete piece of shit or anything,
but she's going to get all on the cane. Look, you know, they make some good points. A pro-life,
a lot of the pro-life is a little bit of a grift. I agree with that.
But it is a nasty, nasty attempt at damage control for Trump.
Trump is losing his Christian base by supporting abortion.
Republicans all want to pretend that's good politics. And when it is so obviously not
because the Christian base is turning, they bully the Christians and say, well, it is good politics.
And if the Christians are in rebellion, well, they just need to shut up and stop being cattle.
And while they're not really Christians. And it's like, it's really, it's really simple.
Okay. It's really simple. You need to turn out your,
your base. And on some level, the Trump campaign hates its own base. It sees its base as a
liability. The GOP apparatus, the Cernovich's, the Darren Beatty's, they see the base as a liability.
The base that cares about things like abortion,
the base that cares about things like immigration, they see the base as a liability.
And they can't get rid of the base sooner,
they want the base to be Indians. They want the base to be a multiracial meritocracy.
And so they endlessly disrespect the base, betray the base. And then when the base gets
mad and doesn't vote, well, then it's the base's fault. It's not your fault
for not running as a Republican. It's the base's fault.
And here's the thing about abortion.
Why, why is this election about IVF and abortion? Think about it. World War III is about to break out
in two fronts, in the Middle East and in Europe. Inflation is higher than it's been maybe in the
history of the United States. The border is worse than it's ever been in the history of the United
States. So much so that blacks in the South side of Chicago are starting to sound like Peter Brimelow.
Okay.
And Republicans are,
why are we talking about IVF? Why? Why are we talking about IVF? What does IVF have to do with
anything? IVF has been around for 30 years. Why is this election suddenly about who can support IVF
the most? And here's the point. Maybe Republicans need to take back the initiative and set the table
a little differently. Because it's true. If the table is set in such a way that this is a referendum
on abortion,
if Trump versus Kamala becomes a referendum on abortion and IVF, we're going to lose.
Because we're never going to get all the women that registered to vote to vote for abortion
to vote for Trump. No matter how much you cuck, no matter how much you come up with these clever
little lines, we're going to federally fund IVF. It's never going to happen. If that is how the
election is framed, we're not going to win. So here's a thought. Let's reframe the debate. Let's
get off the subject.
Instead of saying, I'm going to veto a federal abortion ban, why don't you say, you know what?
Why don't we talk about World War III? Why don't you say what this campaign should be a referendum
on is World War III, inflation, and the border? Or something like that. Because clearly, the election
has become a referendum on abortion. Trump has allowed it to become that way because he keeps
talking about it.
Drawing Project 2025 is a part of that. Pandering on IVF is a part of that.
Cucking on abortion is part of that. He has conceded ground. He has let the Democrats set
the table. They won the coin toss. Now they set the table on the issues. And Trump has let it
happen. Instead of taking the bait on these questions, why don't they simply say, you know
what? I'm not going to do anything about abortion. It's a state's issue. And what we should really be
talking about is this. The Democrats want to make it about abortion because they can't run on record.
The Democrats want to make it about abortion because they've crashed the country into the
ground. And we can't let them do that because, you know, there's not going to be a world if we
go to a nuclear war with Russia. That's what I'd say. I mean, I would say something to that effect
because, you know what? Republicans are not going to convert Democrats on abortion. What they can't
do is turn out their voters on other issues. The Democrats are pressing the abortion button.
And every time they press it, they're going to turn out women voters. And there's no limit.
They press the button, women vote. So they're going to press the abortion button from now
until Election Day every day. It's always a win. It's a guaranteed outcome. One press,
10,000 votes. And Republicans think they can take,
the Democrats' finger off the button, or they can diminish that effect. Or maybe they can start
funneling people on our side. But it's not true. What Republicans should be doing is finding our
button. What's the issue Republicans can hit that is going to turn out their base? Rather than trying
to convert pro-choice Dems, how do we turn out Republicans? How do we turn out our base? How do
we get people that can reliably vote for Trump excited about voting for Trump? How can we get
a plan to vote on Election Day? How about talking about the border? Everyone agrees the border's
a problem. Hit the border button. Every speech, every interview, make it about the border.
Everything should be about the border. Everything should be about World War III.
Everything should be about the economy. Just take a look at the polling. The issues that
voters trust Trump on the most are economy and border. Those are the two big ones. Followed
to a lesser extent by foreign policy. And the issue they trust Democrats the most with
is abortion. So let them be the abortion party, and we should be the border party. We should be the
ending World War III party. We should be the jobs party, infrastructure party. Say,
their infrastructure bill is shit. We're going to have a real infrastructure bill.
Don't do a giveaway. No tax on tips.
Do that. Say, we're going to actually create an ecosystem to create semiconductors and chips.
Chips Act wasn't enough. Bipartisan infrastructure law was a cloaked Green New Deal. We're going to
do a real one, and we're going to do tariffs, and we're going to, you know, that is good politics.
That is masterful politics. This is shit. Being the Republican nominee, cucking on abortion,
taking the bait, allowing them to set the agenda.
Then walking it back when you get blowback. That's actually not masterful politics.
I don't know how anyone could argue that. It was so masterful the way he embraced a losing issue
that we're never going to win on, and then backtracked the next day. Yeah, that was such
a masterful move. Masterful. I mean, they're going to be studying that in poli-sci classes
for generations to come.
Remember when the masterful Chris LaCivita had Trump talk about abortion way too much,
and everyone was reminded this is really a referendum on abortion? And then he cucked
and made his base get really mad at him. Then he backtracked the next day,
and everyone was suspicious of him from then until the election. What a masterstroke.
