[ 0 → 10] but i want to move on to our featured story which is about abortion and as you know trump has been [ 10 → 16] really struggling on this abortion issue for a while and let me start out by saying this [ 16 → 24] there's something ironic here which is that i am as pro-life as it gets because i'm catholic [ 24 → 34] but unlike many pro-lifers i was willing to be a little bit charitable to trump on this issue [ 34 → 39] because unlike many pro-lifers i am willing to acknowledge that it is [ 39 → 51] an electoral liability for republicans ever since the dobbs decision in june 2022 [ 51 → 54] republicans have been had been [ 54 → 54] getting a lot of the Spirit of Justice in the indica state for hillclimb states andоновara state [ 54 → 54] will now be under his right for trial on meeting like standard by saying i have a situation where you [ 54 → 61] getting killed by the abortion issue on various state referendums, in the midterms, in special [ 61 → 68] elections. It's just true. And it's not just in blue states, in red states too. In red states, [ 68 → 73] Republicans, where they have coincided with abortion referendums, have suffered [ 73 → 81] because the Dobbs decision has activated women, Republican and Democrat, to turn out and vote [ 81 → 88] for Democrats. That's just true. And so unlike many of the pro-lifers, and if you go back and [ 88 → 95] watch my show, you'll see I've been consistent in this. I was willing to tolerate Trump downplaying [ 95 → 103] the issue for political reasons. So for example, during the primary, he went to a town hall and he [ 103 → 110] basically said, look, we have to win an election. We have to win an election. So I'm not supporting [ 110 → 111] a federal abortion. [ 111 → 118] Ban. And I said, you know what? He's right. It is politics. And people say, well, it's about [ 118 → 126] morality. Well, that is true. But in order to change the policies, you do have to win the [ 126 → 135] election. I said, so within reason, within reason, I'm willing to tolerate him circumventing the [ 135 → 140] issue or avoiding the issue or downplaying the issue, being clever about it. [ 141 → 146] So I just want to preface it by saying this. I totally understand that line of reasoning, [ 146 → 152] and I get it. But yesterday, Trump came out and said that he supports an amendment in the state [ 152 → 159] of Florida which changes the law so that people can get an abortion after six weeks. Trump said [ 159 → 165] six weeks is not enough time to get an abortion. I support more abortions. And this is after Vance [ 165 → 170] said that not only would they not support a federal abortion ban, they would veto it if it [ 170 → 171] came across their desk. [ 171 → 179] Now, that's a big difference. Because it's a big difference to say, I will not propose a federal [ 179 → 188] abortion ban and saying I would veto a federal abortion ban. Saying he won't propose one is [ 188 → 199] passive. It's a recusal. It says, well, hey, I will sit this one out and I will let the states [ 199 → 201] decide it. It won't be an issue. It's a recusal. It's a recusal. It's a recusal. It's a recusal. [ 201 → 207] It's an issue for me. But saying I will veto it is not passive. It's active. It's saying that even [ 207 → 214] if a Republican legislature put forward a federal ban, I would strike it down and oppose it. [ 215 → 220] That's pro-choice. That's different. That's saying you would protect abortion in some of [ 220 → 230] these states. And then to go further and say, I want more abortion. Once again, you're now no [ 230 → 236] longer recusing yourself. You're not downplaying. You're not circumventing. You're now actively [ 236 → 241] supporting. So there were three big policy changes. It was veto an abortion ban. [ 243 → 250] Now it's he's against the amendment in the state of Florida. And the other thing they said is [ 250 → 257] federal funding, taxpayer funding for in vitro fertilization, which is contrary to Catholic [ 257 → 259] morality. It would be similar to... [ 260 → 266] Catholic funded contraception or Catholic funded abortion. And Trump said he supports that. So [ 266 → 271] these are three issues where you're now affirming something that is morally wrong and against social [ 271 → 279] conservatives. Then today he backtracked on the Florida amendment and said actually he was [ 279 → 285] changing his vote. So this is a story from BBC. It's his quote. Donald Trump has said he will [ 285 → 290] vote against a ballot measure in his home state of Florida that would protect abortion rights. [ 290 → 296] After facing backlash from conservative supporters. The former president's announcement came one day [ 296 → 301] after an NBC news interview in which he appeared to support the measure, a statement that caused [ 301 → 309] anti-abortion activists to openly criticize him. On Friday, Trump told Fox News that he still thinks [ 309 → 315] Florida's ban on abortions after six weeks is too strict. However, he said he would still vote no [ 315 → 319] on a measure that would amend the state's constitution to protect abortion rights. [ 320 → 325] He said, you need more time than six weeks. I've disagreed with that right from the early primaries [ 325 → 331] when I heard about it. He then falsely alleged that Democrats support allowing borsches at any [ 331 → 337] point during a pregnancy. Abortion laws vary widely across the U.S., but procedures after 21 [ 337 → 343] weeks of pregnancy are rare and related to fetal anomalies. The Republican nominee's decision to [ 343 → 348] vote against the Florida measure came one day after asked by NBC how he would vote. [ 348 → 350] His Democratic opponent, [ 350 → 355] was quick to respond to Trump's announcement, saying it was indicative of his anti-abortion [ 355 → 364] stance. Conservative pundit Eric Erickson wrote about his comments yesterday, if Donald Trump [ 364 → 370] loses, today is the day he lost. The committed pro-life community could turn a blind eye in part [ 370 → 375] to national abortion issues, but for Trump to weigh in on Florida as he did will be a bridge [ 375 → 376] too far for many. [ 376 → 380] And here's the thing. [ 382 → 386] We have to separate out for a moment what we want and what is politically possible, [ 386 → 392] and then talk about what is politically possible. So I wish that abortion would be banned [ 392 → 400] across the board. But unfortunately, abortion is too popular. It's so popular that women will vote [ 400 → 404] for abortion and they will tolerate everything else. Think about this. [ 405 → 406] That's where we are. [ 406 → 416] We probably would have been on track for a red wave in 2022 and even more so for a red wave in 2024. [ 416 → 422] The only thing that is holding back Trump and the only thing that the Democrats can run on [ 422 → 431] is abortion. That's it. And specifically, it is women. It is women who are registering to vote [ 431 → 436] in record numbers, turning out to vote in record numbers, and voting for Democrats in states where [ 436 → 444] abortion is on the ballot in state referendums. And they're voting in favor of abortion [ 444 → 452] even against their conscience on issues like inflation, border security, World War III. [ 453 → 461] In other words, nothing is more important to women, not the economy, not public services, [ 462 → 466] not World War III, than abortion, than protecting their right to kill, [ 466 → 471] their own children in the womb. That tells you how bad the problem is in the country. [ 472 → 477] That tells you it's a spiritual crisis. And our problems go far deeper than just the political. [ 478 → 487] That women will turn out at any cost and at the exclusion of every other issue to vote in favor [ 487 → 493] for killing the unborn. And when you see what an abortion really is, it is murder. [ 493 → 501] The fetuses they're killing have faces. They have fingers. They have spinal cords. [ 502 → 504] The only difference is they haven't been born yet, but they are [ 504 → 513] left alone. Without interference, they would be babies. And they're conceived by the procreative [ 513 → 519] marital act. And what is happening is that women are going around having casual sex with guys [ 519 → 523] who they have no intention of marrying. They get unlucky. They get married. They get married. They [ 523 → 529] get lucky. Unlucky, they say, with the quote-unquote unplanned pregnancy. And then they [ 529 → 535] choose to kill the baby rather than carrying it to term. Because the lifestyle they want [ 535 → 541] is to be independent, a professional, to carry on having casual sex. [ 543 → 548] And people don't realize the connection, but these things are directly related. People view abortion [ 548 → 553] as this compartment, but it's deeply connected. [ 553 → 559] There would be no abortions or almost no abortions if everyone was having sex within [ 559 → 565] marriage. Because that means that all sex would be with a lifelong, long-term partner. [ 567 → 570] All children would be planned. I mean, the only time you get an abortion [ 570 → 577] is if it is a form of birth control, if you didn't want kids necessarily, or [ 577 → 581] maybe if the life of the mother were threatened or in the case of a rape. [ 581 → 583] But there would be far fewer. [ 583 → 590] And the reason you get abortion now is because women want to go and hook up. They want to go and [ 590 → 595] have sex without having the kids. But you can't do that. Because sex is, by its very nature, [ 596 → 602] it is essentially a procreative act. And every attempt to thwart God's design like this [ 602 → 609] always ends in abominations and unspeakable evil. Casual sex ends in abortions. [ 611 → 613] Marrying outside the church ends in divorce. [ 613 → 621] Which leads to children with mental problems. Gay marriage and homosexuality leads to an AIDS [ 621 → 631] epidemic. Monkey pox. Sodomy. Pedophilia. Molestation. Permanent trauma. Every attempt [ 631 → 640] to thwart God's plan and design for sexuality, surprise, surprise, ends in horror and abominations. [ 640 → 642] And anyway, it's really neither here nor there. [ 643 → 647] I suppose abortion, but sadly, this is the country as it is. [ 647 → 652] Now, if we ran on a platform of banning contraception and banning divorce [ 652 → 657] and banning porn and banning abortion and banning gay marriage and banning [ 657 → 662] adultery, you could never win a single state in the United States. But yet, [ 662 → 668] we would still like to win elections. So there is somewhere between running on a full Catholic [ 668 → 671] doctrine and running on something that is winnable. [ 673 → 684] And I think that Trump taking a recusal approach for abortion at the federal level is an acceptable [ 684 → 691] compromise. I know we don't love that. I don't love that. But it's an acceptable compromise. [ 692 → 698] It's not pro-choice, although it's not actively pro-life. And we can recognize that Roe versus [ 698 → 702] Wade was a huge victory. There will still be far fewer abortions than before. [ 703 → 708] Because the alternative is that a Democrat might get in and protect abortion at the federal level. [ 709 → 713] And so the question is, do you want to have states with no abortion or do you want to have [ 713 → 717] all states be in favor of abortion? That's really what we're defending at this point. [ 717 → 722] And I think that's kind of as much as we can hope for, unfortunately, the way things are [ 722 → 733] without massive social change. But Trump coming out and saying, I will veto a federal abortion ban [ 733 → 741] and I'm voting in favor of undoing abortion restrictions in a very conservative state. [ 741 → 747] Well, this is now a pro-choice ticket. That's very different. This is not a recusal. This is [ 747 → 754] now actively pro-choice. It's not passively pro-life. It's actively pro-choice. Now, [ 755 → 761] people have said, well, this is just more good politics. I've seen a lot of Trump supporters [ 761 → 763] attack pro-life. I've seen a lot of Trump supporters attack pro-life. I've seen a lot of [ 763 → 770] pro-lifers for criticizing this. Pro-lifers say, why would we vote for Trump? Single-issue [ 770 → 774] pro-life voters who may not even be super conservative, but they're very pro-life and [ 774 → 779] very Christian. They say, we're single-issue voters. We don't want to see babies killed in [ 779 → 785] the womb. It was bad before, but now it's too far. Republicans and Trump supporters are attacking [ 785 → 789] the pro-lifers and saying, why don't you just shut the fuck up and vote for Trump? [ 790 → 792] They say, this is good politics. [ 793 → 798] He's trying to win an election. But this is the issue with all the issues. [ 799 → 804] It almost seems like Trump realizes that he can get away with anything with his base. [ 804 → 811] He can cuck on immigration and conservatives will vote for him no matter what. He can cuck on race [ 811 → 816] and conservatives will vote for him no matter what. He can cuck on economics and Israel. [ 816 → 821] He can cuck on abortion and everyone will vote for him no matter what on our side. [ 822 → 823] And so, in other words, there is... [ 823 → 830] There is zero political cost to throwing the base under the bus. And therefore, even if there's a [ 830 → 836] marginal chance that he could convert a Democrat on any issue, he's going to try to appease them. [ 837 → 844] So he's going to be in favor of open borders, foreign wars, Paul Ryan tax cut agenda, and [ 844 → 850] abortion. Because if there's even a 1% chance that a moderate or an independent or a Democrat might [ 850 → 853] convert, well, that is an exception. That is an exception. That is an exception. That is an exception. [ 853 → 859] unacceptable cost-benefit approach because there's zero cost to throwing the conservative [ 859 → 864] base under the bus because they don't matter, because they will always vote for Trump no matter [ 864 → 871] what. And I have been saying from the beginning that that is exactly the problem. That's actually [ 871 → 878] not good politics. It's not good politics because the people that you can count on to turn out and [ 878 → 886] vote are your base. Your base votes for you because you represent them. The other side [ 886 → 891] votes for the other side because the other side represents the other side. [ 892 → 900] So if you pander to the other side, maybe the other side votes for you. Most likely they won't, [ 900 → 908] but your side, your base will not. So actually, there is a hard limit to how much [ 908 → 908] you can turn the conservative base under Trump no matter what. And I have been saying from the [ 908 → 913] you can pander to and appease the opposition. A lot of Republicans seem not to realize this. [ 914 → 920] Every time Trump cucks or goes left, every time Trump goes to appease the Democrats, [ 921 → 928] Trump supporters cheer it on. And they say, this is brilliant. Robert Kennedy on the ticket, [ 928 → 935] brilliant. Democrats in the administration, brilliant. Pro-choice, brilliant. Nogs at the [ 935 → 943] RNC, brilliant. A Sikh prayer, brilliant. Mass immigration, brilliant. Pro-Israel, brilliant. [ 945 → 950] Why doesn't he just change his registration to Democrat? Then he can win all the votes. [ 951 → 955] You know what would be the most genius move of all? Just become a Democrat. [ 955 → 960] Just take all of Kamala's policies. Then everyone will vote for Trump. [ 961 → 964] Because Republicans will vote for Trump just because, [ 965 → 965] no matter what, they're going to vote for Trump. [ 965 → 971] And Democrats will vote for Democrat policies. So Trump should just become a Democrat, [ 971 → 975] and then everyone will vote for him. And that's genius politics. [ 977 → 984] There's no hard limit. The further left you go, the more strategic it is. [ 985 → 989] The more issues you cuck on, the more brilliant it is. [ 990 → 994] The more practical it is, the more he demonstrates a willingness to win. [ 995 → 997] Because he's converting everyone. [1000 → 1007] So 100% of Republicans will vote for Trump. And if he adopts all of Kamala's positions, [1007 → 1014] then 100% of Democrats will vote for Trump. And that means 100% of Americans will vote for Trump. [1016 → 1021] And he'll have 532 electoral college votes. [1023 → 1025] Because that's how it works. [1025 → 1033] Or 5, what is it, 538, 530, however many there are, there's no upper limit. [1034 → 1039] Obviously, that's not true. And it's obviously not true because [1039 → 1053] pro-choice Democrats trust the Democrat nominee, who is also a woman, a woman implicitly [1054 → 1055] on abortion. [1055 → 1062] Look at the polling. 80% of voters trust Kamala Moore on reproductive rights. [1063 → 1070] So when Trump cucks on abortion, do you know how many pro-choice Democrats or pro-choice women [1070 → 1073] change their mind and vote for Trump? Zero. [1075 → 1081] You tell me, are there any women that you know of, theoretically or in real life, [1081 → 1084] who are dyed-in-the-wool, pro-choice, [1084 → 1090] Democrat women, or even Republican for that matter, they are scared about Project 2025, [1090 → 1094] they think Trump is coming for their uterus, and Trump goes out and says, [1094 → 1099] six weeks isn't enough. And they go, oh, I think I'm going to give him another look and vote for [1099 → 1110] Trump now. Zero. Zero. But how many evangelicals, how many Christians will look at Trump cucking on [1110 → 1114] abortion and say, I can't vote for Trump? Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. [1114 → 1117] Trump anymore, because it violates my conscience. [1119 → 1127] A lot. And which do you think there are more of? Do you think there are more pro-choice voters [1127 → 1135] who are going to convert and vote for Trump based upon this announcement? Or do you think there are [1135 → 1142] more pro-Trump, pro-life voters who are not going to vote for Trump because of the statement? [1142 → 1144] One for the former, [1144 → 1151] two for the latter. One for there's more Democrat converts, two for there's more Republican [1151 → 1158] conscientious objectors that will not vote for Trump because of the statement. What do you think? [1159 → 1163] You think he's winning more votes with the statement or losing more? I think he's losing [1163 → 1168] more. And I think that's obvious. And by the way, that means it's not good politics. [1169 → 1173] And you have all these Republicans out there, they're like, oh, these pro-lifers. [1173 → 1174] I saw Darren, [1174 → 1178] Beatty calling him cattle. Darren Beatty says, I don't care about abortion. [1178 → 1185] 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 [1185 → 1193] a proud Jew. I think he'd like people to forget that. But Darren Beatty, if you saw him, it's [1193 → 1199] just disgusting. On his timeline, he's going, I don't give a shit about abortion. And if you [1199 → 1204] care about it, you're cattle. Why don't you just call him Goyim, Darren? Hey, Darren, why don't [1204 → 1209] you just call him Goyim? Why don't you just call him stupid Goyim? Because we all know that's what [1209 → 1216] you'd like to say. That's why you said you're not America first, your excellence first, because you [1216 → 1221] don't believe in our flag. You don't believe in our country. You fucking hate the Trump base. [1221 → 1227] You like the idea of the Trump base. You don't actually like the real Trump base. They're all [1227 → 1234] suckers. You know, if you're clipping their fucking coins and sacrificing their children, [1234 → 1239] by stealing them at night, well, they're just suckers. They're just stupid cattle, stupid Goyim. [1239 → 1245] Only stupid Goyim would cry over a dead Palestinian child. Only a stupid Goyim would cry over an [1245 → 1254] aborted black person. Only a stupid Goyim would find it immoral to kill refugees, even if we [1254 → 1262] don't want them here. Right? Because you're a Nietzschean. You're a Nietzschean, Straussian [1262 → 1263] overman, right? [1264 → 1270] Fucking tough guy. It's tough to kill babies and innocents and the vulnerable. That's really tough. [1271 → 1275] And there's all the difference in the world, by the way, between being strong [1275 → 1286] and not being civilized. The essence, the beating essence of the heart of European civilization [1286 → 1294] is Christ on the cross, a loving sacrifice for those that wanted him dead. [1294 → 1301] So before all the Jews come in and say, well, if you're not ready to kill migrants and do abortions [1301 → 1308] and blow up Hamas, well, you don't have what it takes. I would say shut the fuck up because you [1308 → 1314] don't understand European white Western civilization, not one bit. And that's why Israel is [1314 → 1322] a land of fucking pedophiles and perverts and sick fucks. That's the difference. That's why it's full [1322 → 1324] of blood sucking vampires. [1324 → 1333] Parasites. Big difference. Oh, yeah. We're all just cattle. You know what? Fuck face. Europeans [1333 → 1338] invented fucking everything. Not Jews. Europeans invented everything. Europeans invented flight. [1339 → 1346] Europeans invented cars. Europeans invented everything. Yeah, we're all cattle, though. [1346 → 1351] I think Jews should stop calling us cattle. I'm getting really sick. I don't care how [1351 → 1354] based they are. I don't care if they studied Heidegger. [1354 → 1357] I'm sick of Jews calling Christians cattle. [1365 → 1371] That's just true. So anyway. And it's not that I don't understand politics. I do. [1371 → 1375] You don't understand politics if you think you can shit on Christians [1375 → 1382] and shit on the Christian base that supports this abominable atheist gay Jewish Republican Party. [1384 → 1390] And when they revolt, you say, well, you just don't understand. It's good politics. Fuck you. [1393 → 1399] It's always good politics to screw over America. It's always good politics to screw over Christians. [1400 → 1406] It's always good politics to screw over vulnerable people. Right. And when they revolt, well, they're [1406 → 1411] just too stupid to get it. You get, you know, people like Mike Cernovich and Ashley St. Clair [1411 → 1413] and Darren Beatty. They're going to go now. [1413 → 1418] Now they're the arbiters of morality. Mike Cernovich talking about what a real Christian is. [1419 → 1423] Oh, really? When did you become a Christian, Mike Cernovich? Yesterday? And what does that mean to [1423 → 1430] you? Oh, I'm sorry. What is Jesus Christ? You see him in an ayahuasca trip. Now Mike Cernovich is [1430 → 1436] going to be the Mike Cernovich says the pro-lifers are not real Christians because they won't vote [1436 → 1443] for Trump. Sorry, Mike. Who is Jesus? Is he a clockwork elf that you saw on an ayahuasca trip? [1443 → 1449] That you saw on a DMT trip with Jacob Wall and Joe Rogan or something? I don't think you know the [1449 → 1457] first thing about Jesus Christ. Actually, you know, all these Jews and Jew lovers only want to [1457 → 1461] talk about Jesus when it comes to the election. They only want to talk about Christians when [1461 → 1467] Christians don't want to vote for their pro-Israel, pro-Saudi Arabia, pro-Emirati candidate. [1469 → 1470] That's just a fact. [1473 → 1479] Same with that. Ashley St. Clair is going to talk. And, you know, look, Ashley St. Clair, [1480 → 1482] you know, she's not a complete piece of shit or anything, [1483 → 1488] but she's going to get all on the cane. Look, you know, they make some good points. A pro-life, [1488 → 1491] a lot of the pro-life is a little bit of a grift. I agree with that. [1494 → 1499] But it is a nasty, nasty attempt at damage control for Trump. [1499 → 1503] Trump is losing his Christian base by supporting abortion. [1503 → 1510] Republicans all want to pretend that's good politics. And when it is so obviously not [1510 → 1516] because the Christian base is turning, they bully the Christians and say, well, it is good politics. [1516 → 1521] And if the Christians are in rebellion, well, they just need to shut up and stop being cattle. [1521 → 1528] And while they're not really Christians. And it's like, it's really, it's really simple. [1529 → 1533] Okay. It's really simple. You need to turn out your, [1533 → 1541] your base. And on some level, the Trump campaign hates its own base. It sees its base as a [1541 → 1548] liability. The GOP apparatus, the Cernovich's, the Darren Beatty's, they see the base as a liability. [1550 → 1553] The base that cares about things like abortion, [1554 → 1558] the base that cares about things like immigration, they see the base as a liability. [1561 → 1563] And they can't get rid of the base sooner, [1563 → 1570] they want the base to be Indians. They want the base to be a multiracial meritocracy. [1574 → 1580] And so they endlessly disrespect the base, betray the base. And then when the base gets [1580 → 1583] mad and doesn't vote, well, then it's the base's fault. It's not your fault [1583 → 1586] for not running as a Republican. It's the base's fault. [1590 → 1592] And here's the thing about abortion. [1593 → 1603] Why, why is this election about IVF and abortion? Think about it. World War III is about to break out [1603 → 1609] in two fronts, in the Middle East and in Europe. Inflation is higher than it's been maybe in the [1609 → 1614] history of the United States. The border is worse than it's ever been in the history of the United [1614 → 1620] States. So much so that blacks in the South side of Chicago are starting to sound like Peter Brimelow. [1622 → 1622] Okay. [1622 → 1623] And Republicans are, [1623 → 1632] why are we talking about IVF? Why? Why are we talking about IVF? What does IVF have to do with [1632 → 1638] anything? IVF has been around for 30 years. Why is this election suddenly about who can support IVF [1638 → 1645] the most? And here's the point. Maybe Republicans need to take back the initiative and set the table [1645 → 1652] a little differently. Because it's true. If the table is set in such a way that this is a referendum [1652 → 1653] on abortion, [1653 → 1659] if Trump versus Kamala becomes a referendum on abortion and IVF, we're going to lose. [1659 → 1663] Because we're never going to get all the women that registered to vote to vote for abortion [1663 → 1669] to vote for Trump. No matter how much you cuck, no matter how much you come up with these clever [1669 → 1674] little lines, we're going to federally fund IVF. It's never going to happen. If that is how the [1674 → 1682] election is framed, we're not going to win. So here's a thought. Let's reframe the debate. Let's [1682 → 1683] get off the subject. [1683 → 1690] Instead of saying, I'm going to veto a federal abortion ban, why don't you say, you know what? [1691 → 1696] Why don't we talk about World War III? Why don't you say what this campaign should be a referendum [1696 → 1705] on is World War III, inflation, and the border? Or something like that. Because clearly, the election [1705 → 1711] has become a referendum on abortion. Trump has allowed it to become that way because he keeps [1711 → 1712] talking about it. [1713 → 1719] Drawing Project 2025 is a part of that. Pandering on IVF is a part of that. [1720 → 1726] Cucking on abortion is part of that. He has conceded ground. He has let the Democrats set [1726 → 1732] the table. They won the coin toss. Now they set the table on the issues. And Trump has let it [1732 → 1737] happen. Instead of taking the bait on these questions, why don't they simply say, you know [1737 → 1743] what? I'm not going to do anything about abortion. It's a state's issue. And what we should really be [1743 → 1748] talking about is this. The Democrats want to make it about abortion because they can't run on record. [1749 → 1753] The Democrats want to make it about abortion because they've crashed the country into the [1753 → 1760] ground. And we can't let them do that because, you know, there's not going to be a world if we [1760 → 1767] go to a nuclear war with Russia. That's what I'd say. I mean, I would say something to that effect [1767 → 1773] because, you know what? Republicans are not going to convert Democrats on abortion. What they can't [1773 → 1781] do is turn out their voters on other issues. The Democrats are pressing the abortion button. [1781 → 1788] And every time they press it, they're going to turn out women voters. And there's no limit. [1789 → 1794] They press the button, women vote. So they're going to press the abortion button from now [1794 → 1799] until Election Day every day. It's always a win. It's a guaranteed outcome. One press, [1799 → 1803] 10,000 votes. And Republicans think they can take, [1803 → 1808] the Democrats' finger off the button, or they can diminish that effect. Or maybe they can start [1808 → 1814] funneling people on our side. But it's not true. What Republicans should be doing is finding our [1814 → 1820] button. What's the issue Republicans can hit that is going to turn out their base? Rather than trying [1820 → 1827] to convert pro-choice Dems, how do we turn out Republicans? How do we turn out our base? How do [1827 → 1833] we get people that can reliably vote for Trump excited about voting for Trump? How can we get [1833 → 1839] a plan to vote on Election Day? How about talking about the border? Everyone agrees the border's [1839 → 1844] a problem. Hit the border button. Every speech, every interview, make it about the border. [1845 → 1849] Everything should be about the border. Everything should be about World War III. [1849 → 1856] Everything should be about the economy. Just take a look at the polling. The issues that [1856 → 1863] voters trust Trump on the most are economy and border. Those are the two big ones. Followed [1863 → 1870] to a lesser extent by foreign policy. And the issue they trust Democrats the most with [1870 → 1878] is abortion. So let them be the abortion party, and we should be the border party. We should be the [1878 → 1886] ending World War III party. We should be the jobs party, infrastructure party. Say, [1886 → 1889] their infrastructure bill is shit. We're going to have a real infrastructure bill. [1890 → 1893] Don't do a giveaway. No tax on tips. [1893 → 1899] Do that. Say, we're going to actually create an ecosystem to create semiconductors and chips. [1901 → 1908] Chips Act wasn't enough. Bipartisan infrastructure law was a cloaked Green New Deal. We're going to [1908 → 1914] do a real one, and we're going to do tariffs, and we're going to, you know, that is good politics. [1914 → 1920] That is masterful politics. This is shit. Being the Republican nominee, cucking on abortion, [1921 → 1923] taking the bait, allowing them to set the agenda. [1923 → 1929] Then walking it back when you get blowback. That's actually not masterful politics. [1930 → 1939] I don't know how anyone could argue that. It was so masterful the way he embraced a losing issue [1939 → 1945] that we're never going to win on, and then backtracked the next day. Yeah, that was such [1945 → 1952] a masterful move. Masterful. I mean, they're going to be studying that in poli-sci classes [1952 → 1953] for generations to come. [1953 → 1959] Remember when the masterful Chris LaCivita had Trump talk about abortion way too much, [1960 → 1965] and everyone was reminded this is really a referendum on abortion? And then he cucked [1965 → 1969] and made his base get really mad at him. Then he backtracked the next day, [1969 → 1974] and everyone was suspicious of him from then until the election. What a masterstroke.
