00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:30,100
Speaker 1: Welcome back. to The Real Deal podcast with Abby Johnson

2
00:00:30,300 --> 00:00:34,510
Speaker 1: and Reagan Long, where we deliver The Real Deal to

3
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,330
Speaker 1: y'all completely unfiltered.

4
00:00:38,370 --> 00:00:44,470
Speaker 2: Welcome back. It's The Real Deal, the day after the election.

5
00:00:45,370 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: So November 4th, the day after the elections, and going

6
00:00:50,860 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: to say we woke up to a blue wave, but

7
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, went to sleep with a blue wave.

8
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:57,900
Speaker 2: Yeah.

9
00:00:58,260 --> 00:01:03,580
Speaker 1: I have so many thoughts on this, and I've had

10
00:01:03,660 --> 00:01:08,030
Speaker 1: so many different mixed emotions this morning. But honestly, Abby,

11
00:01:08,050 --> 00:01:11,569
Speaker 1: I have to say, and I think this is going

12
00:01:11,590 --> 00:01:14,950
Speaker 1: to be interesting too, because as we're covering this podcast,

13
00:01:15,030 --> 00:01:22,459
Speaker 1: unless this is somebody listening to us for the Christian, Catholic,

14
00:01:22,660 --> 00:01:30,670
Speaker 1: conservative moms, pro-life moms for the Constitution, for life. And

15
00:01:32,750 --> 00:01:36,650
Speaker 1: I can't say I'm shocked, though. I can't say I'm surprised. No.

16
00:01:36,970 --> 00:01:40,030
Speaker 3: I mean, I live in Texas, and I told everybody,

17
00:01:41,030 --> 00:01:45,220
Speaker 3: Tallarico is going to win. Tallarico is going to be

18
00:01:45,230 --> 00:01:46,820
Speaker 3: the reason our state turned blue.

19
00:01:47,940 --> 00:01:52,460
Speaker 2: And people were like, no, no.

20
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,730
Speaker 3: I said, I told people Abbott is not going to

21
00:01:55,770 --> 00:02:00,470
Speaker 3: be the governor anymore. And they were like, no, no,

22
00:02:00,810 --> 00:02:01,230
Speaker 3: that's not.

23
00:02:01,270 --> 00:02:03,990
Speaker 2: That's not going to happen. Abbott will, Abbott will stay

24
00:02:04,030 --> 00:02:09,730
Speaker 2: the governor. And I'm like, guys, I think Texas is blue.

25
00:02:09,750 --> 00:02:14,139
Speaker 2: It's probably the most type. Like I, I, I just

26
00:02:14,180 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 2: think that's almost comical. That doesn't, when you say out

27
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: of any state, Texas is blue. I, That doesn't make sense. Well,

28
00:02:23,780 --> 00:02:29,550
Speaker 2: but it's... Tallarico was so... Okay, so here's what happened.

29
00:02:30,450 --> 00:02:34,030
Speaker 2: It was a perfect storm because we had Ken Paxton,

30
00:02:34,930 --> 00:02:42,250
Speaker 2: who is the worst candidate. Worst. Worst. Ken Paxton....

31
00:02:42,370 --> 00:02:46,050
Speaker 3: So we had John Cornyn and Ken Paxton. They were

32
00:02:46,190 --> 00:02:47,669
Speaker 3: up against each other, right?

33
00:02:47,690 --> 00:02:48,530
Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.

34
00:02:49,250 --> 00:02:53,610
Speaker 2: John Cornyn is a seasoned politician. You know, is he like,

35
00:02:54,690 --> 00:02:57,410
Speaker 2: you know, is he like the best? Is, you know,

36
00:02:57,570 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: is he like who I would pick if I was

37
00:03:00,350 --> 00:03:04,020
Speaker 2: picking a politician? No, no, absolutely not. You know, he's

38
00:03:04,060 --> 00:03:06,980
Speaker 2: been soft on some places or whatever. Right. Is he

39
00:03:07,100 --> 00:03:14,299
Speaker 2: a better candidate than Ken Paxton? Yes. Would he have

40
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:21,930
Speaker 2: been a better candidate against James Tallarico? Ten gazillion thousand

41
00:03:22,050 --> 00:03:23,470
Speaker 2: times yes.

42
00:03:24,230 --> 00:03:30,019
Speaker 3: Because John Cornyn would have debated Tallarico.

43
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: Right.

44
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 3: Ken Paxton is a guy who's so slimy. He's so unattractive.

45
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,660
Speaker 3: I'm just going to be totally honest because that matters

46
00:03:41,860 --> 00:03:42,690
Speaker 3: in politics.

47
00:03:43,030 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: Okay. Sure.

48
00:03:43,650 --> 00:03:44,490
Speaker 1: I mean, the whole package.

49
00:03:44,510 --> 00:03:48,310
Speaker 2: The way you look, your aesthetic, all this kind of stuff.

50
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: How charismatic you are.

51
00:03:50,340 --> 00:03:53,660
Speaker 2: Ken Paxton's got that eye thing. He looks like he's

52
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:57,190
Speaker 2: had a stroke. Is he drunk? We're not sure.

53
00:03:57,210 --> 00:04:05,730
Speaker 3: He looks odd. He's unattractive. He's got a weird smirk

54
00:04:05,810 --> 00:04:10,130
Speaker 3: all the time. And he can't debate, right? He cheated

55
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,260
Speaker 3: on his wife, who is a doll, by the way.

56
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,220
Speaker 2: Yeah. Angela Paxton, who holds office here in the state

57
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,540
Speaker 2: of Texas. cheated on his wife, who's amazing, an amazing

58
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:27,020
Speaker 2: Christian woman. Everybody knows about it. Then, just this past

59
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:33,030
Speaker 2: 4th of July, was caught in London, I think it

60
00:04:33,070 --> 00:04:38,030
Speaker 2: was London, somewhere in Europe, with another woman who is married,

61
00:04:38,630 --> 00:04:42,410
Speaker 2: by the way, you know, screwing around with her. Like,

62
00:04:42,570 --> 00:04:46,050
Speaker 2: he's not a good person. Okay? He's not a good person.

63
00:04:46,490 --> 00:04:48,100
Speaker 2: He's had all of these, like.

64
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:54,110
Speaker 3: Weird, nefarious business deal things, not a good person, not

65
00:04:54,150 --> 00:04:58,289
Speaker 3: a good businessman, whatever. And that is who the state,

66
00:04:58,350 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 3: because of Trump, that was who the voters said we

67
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:08,460
Speaker 3: want over John Cornyn. As soon as we picked Ken

68
00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 3: Paxton over John Cornyn, I was like, Tallarico wins, Texas

69
00:05:13,339 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: turns blue.

70
00:05:14,339 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: Right.

71
00:05:15,970 --> 00:05:19,070
Speaker 1: I mean, I remember texting you about Paxton, too. I'm like, oh,

72
00:05:19,110 --> 00:05:22,070
Speaker 1: my gosh. And that's the problem. The Republican Party, we

73
00:05:22,110 --> 00:05:25,870
Speaker 1: can't come up with decent choices. We can't come up

74
00:05:25,910 --> 00:05:27,030
Speaker 1: with decent candidates.

75
00:05:27,430 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: And so people got so behind Tallarico because Tallarico is

76
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,700
Speaker 2: so charismatic. He's like Obama. Yes. He reminds me so

77
00:05:37,740 --> 00:05:42,660
Speaker 2: much of Obama. Yes. He's so charismatic. He's young.

78
00:05:43,990 --> 00:05:47,349
Speaker 3: He's, you know, decent looking. I mean, compared to Paxton,

79
00:05:47,710 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 3: he's like a frigging model. He's decent looking. He'll talk

80
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 3: to anybody, right? He's always ready to have a town hall,

81
00:05:57,940 --> 00:05:59,820
Speaker 3: always ready to have a debate, always ready to have

82
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 3: a conversation. And Paxton wouldn't debate him, which honestly was

83
00:06:04,660 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 3: probably wise. It's like, this is what it's like, Reagan.

84
00:06:08,220 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 3: It's like when you're in a murder trial and you're

85
00:06:13,690 --> 00:06:16,670
Speaker 3: the attorneys are like, don't take the stand, right? They

86
00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:19,229
Speaker 3: tell the murderer, don't take the stand. Don't take the stand.

87
00:06:19,270 --> 00:06:21,230
Speaker 3: It'll make you look worse. It'll make you look worse.

88
00:06:21,850 --> 00:06:23,510
Speaker 3: That's what they were doing to Talrico.

89
00:06:23,540 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, that's what they were doing to Paxton.

90
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,180
Speaker 2: They were telling Paxton, don't take the stand. Right. Right.

91
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: You're just going to tip the... We're just going to

92
00:06:32,660 --> 00:06:35,740
Speaker 2: tip the... Because he would look so bad against Talrico. Right.

93
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,420
Speaker 2: They were like, just don't take the stand.

94
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 3: Don't get in a debate against this guy.

95
00:06:41,820 --> 00:06:45,910
Speaker 2: Right. Right. Right. They were hoping that they were just

96
00:06:45,950 --> 00:06:50,620
Speaker 2: like hoping that Texas was red enough. But what happens

97
00:06:50,740 --> 00:06:54,539
Speaker 2: is you've got this guy who's so charismatic, so willing

98
00:06:54,580 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: to talk. And he's like, you know, coming out like Obama, like,

99
00:06:59,140 --> 00:07:01,850
Speaker 2: you know, oh, I'm just I'm a moderate. Like, I

100
00:07:01,870 --> 00:07:05,330
Speaker 2: want to talk to anybody. I, you know, oh, I

101
00:07:05,350 --> 00:07:07,870
Speaker 2: want to find common ground. This he kept saying that

102
00:07:08,350 --> 00:07:11,510
Speaker 2: I want to find common ground, common ground, which is B.S.,

103
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,270
Speaker 2: Because at the end of the day, he's a democratic socialist, okay? Right.

104
00:07:16,630 --> 00:07:19,050
Speaker 2: And what's even more dangerous is that he throws this

105
00:07:19,070 --> 00:07:23,110
Speaker 2: like Christianity into it, right? Oh, yes. So he's like,

106
00:07:23,190 --> 00:07:25,890
Speaker 2: I'm a Christian. I'm a Christian. I'm a Christian. He's

107
00:07:25,930 --> 00:07:26,450
Speaker 2: not a Christian.

108
00:07:26,490 --> 00:07:29,810
Speaker 3: He says things like, you know, God is non-binary and

109
00:07:29,950 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 3: all this kind of BS. So, but that he's gathering

110
00:07:34,690 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 3: people who have poor theology, who are just looking for

111
00:07:40,340 --> 00:07:45,990
Speaker 3: something to believe in. And they get so excited that

112
00:07:46,050 --> 00:07:47,010
Speaker 3: they go out to.

113
00:07:46,950 --> 00:07:49,670
Speaker 2: Vote for Tallarico. Oh, yeah.

114
00:07:49,870 --> 00:07:50,310
Speaker 1: Thinking.

115
00:07:50,350 --> 00:07:54,950
Speaker 2: They don't just vote for Tallarico. They vote straight ticket Democrat.

116
00:07:55,530 --> 00:07:55,750
Speaker 1: Yeah.

117
00:07:56,390 --> 00:07:56,750
Speaker 2: Okay.

118
00:07:57,550 --> 00:08:01,670
Speaker 3: And that turns the state blue. And that's exactly what

119
00:08:01,730 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 3: happened in Texas. So because it's not just that Tallarico won.

120
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:14,990
Speaker 3: Every single state held office is Democrat. Every judge, our

121
00:08:15,030 --> 00:08:21,890
Speaker 3: lieutenant governor, our attorney general, our governor, Tallarico, every single,

122
00:08:21,970 --> 00:08:29,110
Speaker 3: our appeals court, every single statewide office is now Democrat.

123
00:08:29,870 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 3: Because they just showed up more voters. Because everybody came

124
00:08:35,429 --> 00:08:38,820
Speaker 3: out to vote for Tallarico. And when they showed up,

125
00:08:39,380 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 3: they voted straight take a Democrat.

126
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 2: And this... This is the danger of not voting. This

127
00:08:48,940 --> 00:08:52,780
Speaker 2: is the danger of people sitting out and not voting.

128
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,829
Speaker 2: This is the danger of Republicans saying, well, I don't

129
00:08:56,850 --> 00:09:00,870
Speaker 2: like the candidate, so I'm not voting. They showed up

130
00:09:01,450 --> 00:09:07,449
Speaker 2: in droves to vote for one guy and they voted

131
00:09:07,510 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: straight ticket and we have lost our state. Now, we'll

132
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 2: get it back in the With the presidential election, hopefully,

133
00:09:15,780 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: if we have a good guy, this is the importance

134
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: of us picking the right guy in the primary. That's

135
00:09:20,540 --> 00:09:24,750
Speaker 2: why the primaries are going to be so, so flipping important.

136
00:09:25,850 --> 00:09:26,570
Speaker 2: We'll get it back.

137
00:09:26,650 --> 00:09:30,750
Speaker 3: You expect midterms to go the opposite direction of the president.

138
00:09:31,690 --> 00:09:36,170
Speaker 3: So we expected to gain some seats. Like, we expected that.

139
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,460
Speaker 3: But I expected this in Texas.

140
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,710
Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. But Democrats had a huge, I mean, they just

141
00:09:43,730 --> 00:09:44,510
Speaker 2: had a huge night.

142
00:09:44,530 --> 00:09:51,189
Speaker 1: I mean, North Carolina's blue now. So many states turned blue.

143
00:09:51,210 --> 00:09:52,850
Speaker 1: Because they showed up.

144
00:09:53,090 --> 00:09:59,130
Speaker 2: They showed up. And conservatives are sitting around going, well,

145
00:09:59,150 --> 00:09:59,950
Speaker 2: I'm just not going to vote.

146
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what, I've heard, I agree with that,

147
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:09,579
Speaker 1: but I also think this is such a complicated I mean,

148
00:10:09,780 --> 00:10:13,849
Speaker 1: I also think Trump is to blame so much. This

149
00:10:13,990 --> 00:10:20,229
Speaker 1: presidency is a SHIT show. American people, this is not

150
00:10:20,290 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: America first country. It is not. Trump, church is back

151
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: on us. This is Israel first. People can't afford to

152
00:10:31,820 --> 00:10:34,900
Speaker 1: prep for a 90 day power grid, let alone pay

153
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:42,089
Speaker 1: their monthly bills, okay? Then when you're in this situation,

154
00:10:42,110 --> 00:10:47,809
Speaker 1: not living the American dream, right? You have people, and Abby-

155
00:10:48,860 --> 00:10:52,060
Speaker 1: It's so great. I didn't think of this comparing Tallarico

156
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,059
Speaker 1: to Obama, but it was so perfect. This is how

157
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:02,090
Speaker 1: Satan works so slyly. When you mix a little truth

158
00:11:02,790 --> 00:11:07,510
Speaker 1: with your message, you make your whole lie stronger and believable.

159
00:11:08,090 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: And so last night in this morning, I probably watched

160
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: at minimum 30, interviews, 30 clips of Tallarico. I was

161
00:11:17,980 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: kind of enthralled. I was so enthralled, but disgusted, right?

162
00:11:22,860 --> 00:11:26,059
Speaker 1: But I was like, I'm putting myself in this position

163
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:32,980
Speaker 1: of watching and trying to think what an average fed

164
00:11:33,020 --> 00:11:37,700
Speaker 1: up Christian is thinking, right? So I'm trying to whatever. Again,

165
00:11:38,940 --> 00:11:42,300
Speaker 1: and if you take pieces of the message, it's so funny.

166
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:47,540
Speaker 1: He's like, When he's talking about pleading his case for abortion,

167
00:11:48,460 --> 00:11:51,660
Speaker 1: you know, he starts it by saying, well, let's look

168
00:11:51,700 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: at the Bible. Let's talk about the Blessed Mother. She's

169
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,950
Speaker 1: my favorite person in the whole Bible. So, you know,

170
00:11:59,830 --> 00:12:02,090
Speaker 1: people like you and I are like, oh, my gosh,

171
00:12:02,110 --> 00:12:04,870
Speaker 1: we love Mama Mary. The Blessed Mother is the best.

172
00:12:05,350 --> 00:12:06,650
Speaker 2: Yeah. You know what I mean?

173
00:12:06,730 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: So there's there in, you know, and then it's exactly

174
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,620
Speaker 1: what the devil would do. Exactly what the devil would do.

175
00:12:15,140 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: It's almost, it's so pristine. It's so perfect, Abby. He's like,

176
00:12:21,340 --> 00:12:22,380
Speaker 1: he's like Cornwood.

177
00:12:22,830 --> 00:12:26,550
Speaker 2: He's like, he is, I mean.

178
00:12:27,050 --> 00:12:31,350
Speaker 1: It's so perfect. Literally, it's, and it's like his charismatic

179
00:12:31,410 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: and softness and spitting out some of these things. It's

180
00:12:36,670 --> 00:12:43,730
Speaker 1: like watching a snake just, just sliver around. To get

181
00:12:43,770 --> 00:12:47,230
Speaker 1: to your bombs of when the snake's biting and saying

182
00:12:47,270 --> 00:12:51,189
Speaker 1: God's non-binary and randomly saying, you know, I saw at

183
00:12:51,230 --> 00:12:54,250
Speaker 1: least in a dozen interviews, tell us something you love

184
00:12:54,309 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: besides your faith and your family and your friends. Like,

185
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many things I saw. I

186
00:13:00,700 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: love trans children. Looks like a pedophile. You love trans children,

187
00:13:09,179 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: but you don't love... The normal children who are embodying

188
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: how God made them, but we don't love normal children

189
00:13:18,340 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: who accepted their gender at birth, how God created them.

190
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,660
Speaker 1: But you love the children who Satan is tormenting their

191
00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: minds and we're pumping them full of hormones. Oh, we

192
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,989
Speaker 1: love those ones. They're worthy of love.

193
00:13:31,190 --> 00:13:32,630
Speaker 2: Oh, well, perfect.

194
00:13:34,470 --> 00:13:39,429
Speaker 1: Yep. But I was just so enamored by the.

195
00:13:41,770 --> 00:13:46,390
Speaker 1: Literally, it was like, this is Satan's masterpiece. That's all

196
00:13:46,450 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 1: I could think about in every interview. He's like Orwood

197
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: in the Screwtape Letters.

198
00:13:52,500 --> 00:13:59,260
Speaker 2: He says enough to make people go, that sounds good.

199
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:05,290
Speaker 2: That sounds like something, that sounds like love. Right.

200
00:14:05,410 --> 00:14:07,650
Speaker 1: Oh, just so loving, so Christian-like.

201
00:14:08,890 --> 00:14:12,940
Speaker 3: And then you drop something that is really, really sinful,

202
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,020
Speaker 3: but you already love him.

203
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: So you're like, well, the majority is good. The majority

204
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: of the message works.

205
00:14:20,740 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: I guess I like that. Yeah.

206
00:14:23,060 --> 00:14:25,460
Speaker 1: Yeah. Like, oh, you're not going to get, you know,

207
00:14:25,580 --> 00:14:28,860
Speaker 1: and then we, you know, people justify, well, you're not

208
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: going to get a candidate who's like, perfect. So there's

209
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,710
Speaker 1: going to be a couple things that are off or

210
00:14:35,730 --> 00:14:37,950
Speaker 1: that we don't agree with. You know what I mean?

211
00:14:38,670 --> 00:14:43,770
Speaker 1: And he campaigned so masterfully.

212
00:14:44,810 --> 00:14:47,650
Speaker 2: Well, and here's the thing. Greg Abbott didn't campaign at all.

213
00:14:48,530 --> 00:14:49,860
Speaker 2: Our governor didn't campaign at all.

214
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: Right, right.

215
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,020
Speaker 3: I mean, he just thought, I'm going to win. Like,

216
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,700
Speaker 3: you know, Texas is red. I'm going to win.

217
00:14:59,420 --> 00:15:03,950
Speaker 2: So, and that's so foolish, you know? But I mean,

218
00:15:03,970 --> 00:15:08,530
Speaker 2: I'm not like, I mean, I'm not like super stressed

219
00:15:08,570 --> 00:15:10,930
Speaker 2: about it. I mean, right.

220
00:15:11,430 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 3: Honestly, like, it's, it's two years, basically. Texas has had Democratic,

221
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 3: this has happened in Texas before. Ann Richards was a

222
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 3: Democratic governor in Texas for many, many years. We've had

223
00:15:27,580 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 3: Democratic governors before. You know, Greg Abbott, I think a

224
00:15:32,540 --> 00:15:37,070
Speaker 3: lot of teachers voted against him. He's kind of, He's

225
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,690
Speaker 3: made a lot of people mad with public education here

226
00:15:40,730 --> 00:15:43,630
Speaker 3: in Texas. So I think there are a lot of

227
00:15:43,690 --> 00:15:47,230
Speaker 3: people that are just kind of fed up with him.

228
00:15:47,290 --> 00:15:51,090
Speaker 3: But it really was the– it was the Talrico thing.

229
00:15:51,110 --> 00:15:54,330
Speaker 2: This was the Talrico vote here in Texas.

230
00:15:55,550 --> 00:15:58,110
Speaker 3: And there are just a lot of people that sat

231
00:15:58,210 --> 00:16:01,090
Speaker 3: out the vote and didn't vote.

232
00:16:01,110 --> 00:16:03,370
Speaker 2: A lot of conservatives. A lot of people I know

233
00:16:04,110 --> 00:16:06,330
Speaker 2: that just sat out.

234
00:16:08,900 --> 00:16:15,580
Speaker 1: We need better candidates. We need people who are willing

235
00:16:15,940 --> 00:16:21,340
Speaker 1: to stick to what our party stands for, be unwavering

236
00:16:22,020 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: in that, and not be swayed. I have been disgusted

237
00:16:30,860 --> 00:16:34,420
Speaker 1: with our party on a whole for so many reasons.

238
00:16:34,930 --> 00:16:38,390
Speaker 1: Nobody doing and following through what they say they're going

239
00:16:38,450 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: to do. We constantly backpedal. Everyone's a sellout. I've just

240
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:51,140
Speaker 1: been disgusted with our party. It needs cleaned up.

241
00:16:51,140 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: That's true, but here's what happened, though. We do have

242
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,180
Speaker 2: good people in our party.

243
00:16:59,210 --> 00:17:05,750
Speaker 3: I'll tell you, my rep, Caroline Harris- She is my rep.

244
00:17:05,830 --> 00:17:09,130
Speaker 3: I think she lost to a guy I've never even

245
00:17:09,170 --> 00:17:12,410
Speaker 3: heard of. And I have to look it up. But

246
00:17:12,630 --> 00:17:14,209
Speaker 3: as of last night when I went to bed, she

247
00:17:14,260 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 3: was behind. She's been the rep here for years. And

248
00:17:21,340 --> 00:17:28,100
Speaker 3: I just thought, what in the world? I can't even

249
00:17:29,100 --> 00:17:31,859
Speaker 3: believe it. But anyway, she's been the rep here forever.

250
00:17:31,940 --> 00:17:36,690
Speaker 3: She is a good rep. solid rep for us here, right?

251
00:17:37,830 --> 00:17:40,169
Speaker 3: And there's a lot of good ones here in the

252
00:17:40,190 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 3: state of Texas that were overcome by really terrible Democrats

253
00:17:46,660 --> 00:17:52,860
Speaker 3: because people said, I don't like Ken Paxton, so I'm

254
00:17:52,900 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 3: not voting at all.

255
00:17:54,760 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. And because of that, Caroline Harris didn't win.

256
00:18:00,300 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 3: And now we have a Democrat Who's going to be

257
00:18:03,700 --> 00:18:04,660
Speaker 3: running our district.

258
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,940
Speaker 2: That is a fool's choice.

259
00:18:08,500 --> 00:18:08,740
Speaker 1: Yeah.

260
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:10,619
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter.

261
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,590
Speaker 3: I didn't, when I went to vote, I was like,

262
00:18:14,530 --> 00:18:18,609
Speaker 3: I don't love Ken Paxton, but I don't, I really,

263
00:18:18,650 --> 00:18:20,790
Speaker 3: really disliked how Rico more.

264
00:18:21,450 --> 00:18:23,890
Speaker 2: And so I'm voting for Ken Paxton.

265
00:18:24,450 --> 00:18:27,310
Speaker 3: I'm voting against how Rico and I am going to

266
00:18:27,369 --> 00:18:31,170
Speaker 3: show up and vote for a All of the people

267
00:18:31,570 --> 00:18:32,710
Speaker 3: in my district.

268
00:18:32,330 --> 00:18:36,050
Speaker 2: Who I really do love, I love Caroline Harris. And

269
00:18:36,070 --> 00:18:40,810
Speaker 2: so I'm voting for her. I'm voting for my state senators.

270
00:18:40,950 --> 00:18:43,389
Speaker 2: I'm voting for the people who I know are going

271
00:18:43,410 --> 00:18:46,429
Speaker 2: to do a good job. It's so much bigger than

272
00:18:46,490 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 2: just one race.

273
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 3: And now we have Democrats in all of these positions

274
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,379
Speaker 3: where we had Republicans, like they flipped so many seats.

275
00:18:57,790 --> 00:19:01,050
Speaker 2: In the state of Texas because people just didn't show up.

276
00:19:02,310 --> 00:19:06,710
Speaker 3: And so we've got to get out the vote. I mean,

277
00:19:06,750 --> 00:19:11,470
Speaker 3: that is, and that is a, that is biblical. Like

278
00:19:11,630 --> 00:19:15,659
Speaker 3: we are in charge of our government. We are, we

279
00:19:16,420 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 3: are people, we have been given a command to be

280
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 3: political people. And, and so, you know, we have to,

281
00:19:26,270 --> 00:19:28,609
Speaker 3: This is part of what we have to do as Christians.

282
00:19:29,390 --> 00:19:34,700
Speaker 3: And because we have sidestepped this responsibility and we have said,

283
00:19:35,140 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 3: we're washing our hands of this. We don't want to

284
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 3: be political. We don't like the system. We don't like

285
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,470
Speaker 3: the party. The party's corrupt. The system is corrupt, whatever.

286
00:19:45,490 --> 00:19:50,110
Speaker 3: We're just not going to engage. We are allowing these.

287
00:19:49,770 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 2: Conflicts socialist people to take over. And that is going

288
00:19:54,500 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 2: to affect our children, our grandchildren. It's going to affect

289
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 2: the people that we love the most. And that is.

290
00:20:03,660 --> 00:20:08,890
Speaker 3: Shameful for us who have the ability to vote right

291
00:20:08,930 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 3: now that have the ability to make the change right now.

292
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,590
Speaker 3: And so my children can't vote right now, but I can.

293
00:20:18,310 --> 00:20:21,790
Speaker 3: And so we have the responsibility to do the right thing,

294
00:20:21,890 --> 00:20:24,950
Speaker 3: to do the biblical thing right now, to get out,

295
00:20:25,410 --> 00:20:28,689
Speaker 3: to vote. And so everybody needs to take that into

296
00:20:28,730 --> 00:20:32,140
Speaker 3: account in two years when we can go out and vote.

297
00:20:32,300 --> 00:20:34,020
Speaker 2: We have the responsibility.

298
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,790
Speaker 3: We have the duty as Christians to get out and

299
00:20:37,850 --> 00:20:42,630
Speaker 3: vote for the people that most align with us right now.

300
00:20:43,340 --> 00:20:46,899
Speaker 3: Because if you don't, you are not only affecting the

301
00:20:46,980 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 3: race that you really don't care about and you really

302
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 3: don't hate, you really hate that guy and you don't

303
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 3: like him, but you are affecting every other small race

304
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:57,450
Speaker 3: that really does matter.

305
00:20:58,170 --> 00:20:58,390
Speaker 2: Right.

306
00:20:59,030 --> 00:21:02,889
Speaker 1: So yesterday was my oldest daughter, Kendall, who's 18. It

307
00:21:02,910 --> 00:21:05,900
Speaker 1: was her first time voting. And she was like, mom, Like,

308
00:21:06,220 --> 00:21:09,210
Speaker 1: who do I vote for? And I'm like, and again,

309
00:21:09,430 --> 00:21:13,530
Speaker 1: people like get appalled by this. I'm like, straight Republican.

310
00:21:14,210 --> 00:21:19,429
Speaker 1: You vote straight Republican. Like that's, I, you know, and her,

311
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,460
Speaker 1: that's what you do. And it makes voting so much easier.

312
00:21:25,060 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: And I, again, I am very blunt. I am very

313
00:21:29,060 --> 00:21:32,420
Speaker 1: open in sharing the, the, you know, I always try

314
00:21:32,460 --> 00:21:35,770
Speaker 1: to address the elephants in the room, the very, many

315
00:21:35,869 --> 00:21:41,570
Speaker 1: flaws in our party. That being said, and this is

316
00:21:41,609 --> 00:21:46,609
Speaker 1: what I told Kendall too, is in so many priests

317
00:21:46,630 --> 00:21:50,270
Speaker 1: have said this in sermons, which you have to, because

318
00:21:50,490 --> 00:21:55,340
Speaker 1: people are like, oh, priests and pastors shouldn't bring politics

319
00:21:55,390 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: into the mix. And honestly, I've seen so many priests say,

320
00:22:00,100 --> 00:22:02,500
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of the time we are voting

321
00:22:02,820 --> 00:22:07,860
Speaker 1: between the lesser of two evils, right? However, when you

322
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,340
Speaker 1: are voting and you're like, okay, I don't like these

323
00:22:11,420 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: two options, right? You always vote for life. Then make

324
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: it simple. Then you have to vote for the choice

325
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:22,820
Speaker 1: that honors life.

326
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:24,180
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

327
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:29,859
Speaker 1: Again, like we see, you know, this person in the party,

328
00:22:30,020 --> 00:22:34,390
Speaker 1: like having affairs, just blah, blah, like all these things. Again,

329
00:22:35,450 --> 00:22:41,790
Speaker 1: But you have to go with the lesser of two evils.

330
00:22:41,869 --> 00:22:48,030
Speaker 1: It really is. It really is. And now, Abby, these

331
00:22:48,070 --> 00:22:55,020
Speaker 1: stats on a more broader perspective from this horrifying night's results.

332
00:22:56,730 --> 00:23:01,660
Speaker 1: Listen to these stats. America now has 11 Muslim mayors.

333
00:23:02,780 --> 00:23:07,090
Speaker 1: We have 98 Muslims on city council. We have 32

334
00:23:07,090 --> 00:23:11,750
Speaker 1: Muslims in the state House of Representatives. We have 14

335
00:23:11,750 --> 00:23:15,190
Speaker 1: Muslims in the state Senate, six Muslims in the House

336
00:23:15,230 --> 00:23:21,090
Speaker 1: of Representatives. We have... But this is what they said

337
00:23:21,130 --> 00:23:23,810
Speaker 1: they were going to do. Oh, yeah. This is what

338
00:23:23,850 --> 00:23:24,570
Speaker 1: they said they were.

339
00:23:24,550 --> 00:23:27,470
Speaker 2: Going to do. Yeah. This is what is so shocking

340
00:23:27,490 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 2: to me. This is what they said they were going

341
00:23:29,380 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 2: to do. Muslims said for decades... They were going to

342
00:23:35,530 --> 00:23:38,109
Speaker 2: out-populate us. They were going to out-produce us. Let me

343
00:23:38,130 --> 00:23:38,609
Speaker 2: tell you something.

344
00:23:38,990 --> 00:23:39,130
Speaker 1: Sure.

345
00:23:39,150 --> 00:23:41,330
Speaker 2: Let me tell you how many Muslims I saw. This

346
00:23:41,350 --> 00:23:42,430
Speaker 2: is something I've never talked about.

347
00:23:42,450 --> 00:23:45,330
Speaker 3: Do you know how many Muslims I saw come into

348
00:23:45,369 --> 00:23:47,790
Speaker 3: Planned Parenthood during my eight years to have abortions?

349
00:23:48,530 --> 00:23:49,010
Speaker 2: Zero.

350
00:23:49,570 --> 00:23:50,220
Speaker 1: Oh, I believe it.

351
00:23:50,550 --> 00:23:50,990
Speaker 2: Not one.

352
00:23:51,450 --> 00:23:54,230
Speaker 3: I never saw a Muslim come into Planned Parenthood to

353
00:23:54,250 --> 00:23:56,570
Speaker 3: have an abortion. They don't have abortions.

354
00:23:57,310 --> 00:24:00,229
Speaker 2: Oh, no. They don't have abortions. They don't kill their children.

355
00:24:00,950 --> 00:24:06,300
Speaker 2: And they don't use birth control. So... Not traditional Muslims. Right.

356
00:24:06,690 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 3: So they've been telling us this for decades. They've been saying,

357
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 3: we don't use birth control. We're not going to contracept ourselves.

358
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 3: We're not going to abort our children. We're not going

359
00:24:14,460 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 3: to kill our children. We are going to have our children.

360
00:24:17,859 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 3: We're going to outproduce you.

361
00:24:19,300 --> 00:24:20,610
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.

362
00:24:20,900 --> 00:24:25,570
Speaker 3: We're going to outfertility rate you, right? And then we're

363
00:24:25,590 --> 00:24:29,629
Speaker 3: going to, we've moved into your country. We're going to

364
00:24:29,770 --> 00:24:32,899
Speaker 3: outproduce you. We're going to outbreed you, outpopulate you. And

365
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,780
Speaker 3: then we're going to take over your cities. And we're

366
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:36,899
Speaker 3: going to take over your government.

367
00:24:37,060 --> 00:24:40,859
Speaker 2: And they said it so clearly. Oh, yeah.

368
00:24:40,900 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: They don't mince their words. They're not mincing words.

369
00:24:44,420 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 2: No.

370
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,330
Speaker 1: They've been saying it for decades. And for them, it's

371
00:24:47,369 --> 00:24:49,530
Speaker 1: not even a threat. They're like, this isn't a threat.

372
00:24:49,570 --> 00:24:52,710
Speaker 1: This is a promise. This is our plan. This is

373
00:24:52,770 --> 00:24:53,310
Speaker 1: our plan.

374
00:24:53,330 --> 00:24:54,350
Speaker 2: This is our plan.

375
00:24:54,609 --> 00:24:56,510
Speaker 1: This is what we're going to do. And then no

376
00:24:56,810 --> 00:24:57,750
Speaker 1: one will stop us.

377
00:24:58,050 --> 00:25:01,619
Speaker 2: And Christians are like, oh, oh, oh, oh, so funny. Oh.

378
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 2: We'll see if that happens. And meanwhile, Christians have been

379
00:25:06,540 --> 00:25:12,590
Speaker 2: contraception themselves and aborting themselves down to a fertility rate

380
00:25:13,390 --> 00:25:18,670
Speaker 2: that is so low. It's almost like non-replaceable. And here

381
00:25:18,690 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 2: are the Muslims taking over our government seats, taking over

382
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,500
Speaker 2: our cities. We now have completely Muslim cities now. And

383
00:25:27,540 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 2: Christians are like wringing their hands.

384
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh.

385
00:25:31,540 --> 00:25:34,220
Speaker 2: What's going on? We can't believe this is happening. And

386
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,899
Speaker 2: they are like, we've been freaking telling you we're going

387
00:25:37,980 --> 00:25:38,660
Speaker 2: to do this.

388
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: Right.

389
00:25:40,180 --> 00:25:42,310
Speaker 2: You know, and now we have all these Christians that

390
00:25:42,330 --> 00:25:43,929
Speaker 2: are like, oh, my God, but I.

391
00:25:43,930 --> 00:25:46,330
Speaker 1: Only I only had one child.

392
00:25:46,770 --> 00:25:49,090
Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh. I only had, you know, two children.

393
00:25:49,109 --> 00:25:51,429
Speaker 2: I only wanted to have two children. And I banked

394
00:25:51,510 --> 00:25:53,970
Speaker 2: all of my eggs in an IVF clinic so I

395
00:25:54,010 --> 00:25:57,210
Speaker 2: can have kids when I'm in my 50s. Like, well, like,

396
00:25:57,490 --> 00:26:01,190
Speaker 2: what are we doing? Like they've been telling us this

397
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 2: for years and now we're shocked and they're taking over

398
00:26:05,180 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 2: our government and we just can't believe it. Oh, we're

399
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 2: just sitting here. We just can't freaking believe it that

400
00:26:10,180 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 2: they're actually doing what they said they were going to do.

401
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:19,420
Speaker 1: It's, it's, it's, people should be mortified. They should be scared. Jeff. It's,

402
00:26:20,150 --> 00:26:26,210
Speaker 1: it's a, if, if, if, if we're not understanding everything

403
00:26:26,250 --> 00:26:29,350
Speaker 1: that goes along with our culture and, and what is

404
00:26:29,410 --> 00:26:35,270
Speaker 1: going to be not just impressed upon us and our children,

405
00:26:35,430 --> 00:26:40,470
Speaker 1: but enforced, that's one of the most horrifying things to me,

406
00:26:40,990 --> 00:26:44,670
Speaker 1: to be honest. Then when we see these, like, look

407
00:26:44,710 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: at Michigan. Oh my gosh. When I was watching Abdul talk,

408
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,580
Speaker 1: I just had a pit in my stomach.

409
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 2: I just....

410
00:26:59,330 --> 00:27:06,649
Speaker 1: See America slowly, like, disappearing. Like, it's, it is, it

411
00:27:08,030 --> 00:27:10,830
Speaker 1: is depressing. It's scary.

412
00:27:10,850 --> 00:27:12,770
Speaker 2: It's vomitatious.

413
00:27:13,770 --> 00:27:14,690
Speaker 1: It's vomitatious.

414
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,929
Speaker 2: It is vomitatious. That's really the best word for it.

415
00:27:17,940 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: And I, and I think.

416
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:20,060
Speaker 2: It makes me sick.

417
00:27:20,900 --> 00:27:23,980
Speaker 1: When I think of, you know, part of Tallarico's message when,

418
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,940
Speaker 1: you know, he's just like, what would Jesus do? And

419
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,210
Speaker 1: as far as helping our neighbors and so forth. So

420
00:27:31,490 --> 00:27:39,570
Speaker 1: would Jesus trip over the homeless veterans on our street

421
00:27:40,330 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: and the single mothers living out of their vehicles and

422
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: our own starving children? Would he just run past them

423
00:27:51,859 --> 00:27:59,860
Speaker 1: to go to another country? You're supposed to start with

424
00:27:59,890 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: who's nearest to you. While we have so many suffering

425
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:10,820
Speaker 1: and hurting and hungry and cold, why are we helping

426
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: our own first? That just doesn't make sense to me.

427
00:28:16,010 --> 00:28:21,930
Speaker 1: We have so many people suffering right here at home,

428
00:28:21,950 --> 00:28:27,699
Speaker 1: and yet Okay, here's the thing. Here's the thing. Let

429
00:28:27,740 --> 00:28:29,820
Speaker 1: me try to make this simpler because I feel like

430
00:28:29,859 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of going in a circle. If Abby

431
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,330
Speaker 1: and I had a knock at our door, like Abby

432
00:28:36,369 --> 00:28:39,150
Speaker 1: and I are the type, I don't care. If we

433
00:28:39,170 --> 00:28:42,270
Speaker 1: had a mother and child in need, it wouldn't matter

434
00:28:42,330 --> 00:28:46,910
Speaker 1: what color they were, what religion they were. Abby and

435
00:28:46,970 --> 00:28:49,410
Speaker 1: I would give the shirt off our backs to help anyone.

436
00:28:49,950 --> 00:28:56,050
Speaker 1: Let me be clear. We just would without hesitation. But

437
00:28:56,470 --> 00:29:00,990
Speaker 1: two things can be true at the very same time.

438
00:29:01,670 --> 00:29:08,500
Speaker 1: While we also, again, heaven has borders, it is wise

439
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:14,180
Speaker 1: for us to have borders to protect our own without

440
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:19,220
Speaker 1: letting these people into our country who look at our cameras,

441
00:29:19,300 --> 00:29:21,090
Speaker 1: make fun of us, and tell us they want to

442
00:29:21,140 --> 00:29:25,540
Speaker 1: rape and kill us. And yet we're called unchristian-like for

443
00:29:25,580 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: not welcoming that. It just, I don't know. It just is,

444
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:37,010
Speaker 1: it's daunting. And then when we have these elected candidates, Abby,

445
00:29:37,050 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: who aren't even speaking to us in English. Omar, when

446
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,810
Speaker 1: I was watching her last night, she had like seven

447
00:29:45,630 --> 00:29:49,290
Speaker 1: microphones in her hand as she's speaking in what, Arabic

448
00:29:49,550 --> 00:29:54,450
Speaker 1: or whatever it is. It's like we've got to be

449
00:29:54,490 --> 00:30:01,990
Speaker 1: a laughing stock. This is America, right? Where we speak English. Where,

450
00:30:02,870 --> 00:30:05,410
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? It is, and again, when

451
00:30:05,450 --> 00:30:07,980
Speaker 1: you let a snake in the door, you just need

452
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,959
Speaker 1: to let one snake in the door. And we have been,

453
00:30:11,980 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: you know, how many times have we been told, you know,

454
00:30:14,780 --> 00:30:18,660
Speaker 1: Satan doesn't show up. It's this vicious monster burning on

455
00:30:18,700 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: fire with a pitchfork. Being like, here I am. I'm Satan. No,

456
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,950
Speaker 1: he comes dressed as everything. that you think you want.

457
00:30:29,150 --> 00:30:34,870
Speaker 1: He is the father of lies, so deceptive. And so

458
00:30:34,970 --> 00:30:40,190
Speaker 1: many of these people who were voted into seats of power, Abby,

459
00:30:40,210 --> 00:30:46,050
Speaker 1: are just that. They are, I mean, Satan has to

460
00:30:46,090 --> 00:30:51,290
Speaker 1: be thrilled with the trance that so many of these

461
00:30:51,470 --> 00:30:54,050
Speaker 1: Democrats pulled off on people.

462
00:30:55,110 --> 00:30:59,220
Speaker 3: It's Well, you know, we should talk about all of

463
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 3: these ballot initiatives, these like life initiatives, these ballot initiatives.

464
00:31:04,020 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 3: So there were a bunch that, so all these ballot

465
00:31:08,770 --> 00:31:14,350
Speaker 3: initiatives that were on the ballot to make abortion legal,

466
00:31:14,430 --> 00:31:19,070
Speaker 3: so ratified state constitutions to make abortion legal up until

467
00:31:19,090 --> 00:31:22,150
Speaker 3: the date of birth, up until the moment of birth.

468
00:31:23,370 --> 00:31:27,510
Speaker 3: All of them passed and did indeed ratify state constitutions,

469
00:31:27,570 --> 00:31:33,010
Speaker 3: except for one. Idaho was the only one that didn't pass.

470
00:31:33,650 --> 00:31:39,219
Speaker 2: So now, just for the count, okay, since Roe v.

471
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 2: Wade has been overturned, 25 states, 25 states plus D.C., have.

472
00:31:48,100 --> 00:31:53,940
Speaker 3: Protections for abortion up until the date of birth. So,

473
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 3: so much for, you know, Roe v. Wade being the solution,

474
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:04,060
Speaker 3: overturning Roe v. Wade being the solution to ending abortion

475
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 3: in our country. Now, more than half of the states

476
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:16,070
Speaker 3: in the U.S. have ratified their constitution, state constitution, which

477
00:32:16,140 --> 00:32:21,850
Speaker 3: can basically not be undone, to allow abortion through all

478
00:32:21,910 --> 00:32:23,090
Speaker 3: nine months of pregnancy.

479
00:32:24,450 --> 00:32:31,010
Speaker 1: As we see women, mothers and grandmothers, cheering at that.

480
00:32:31,030 --> 00:32:36,450
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah. Ida has been the only one.

481
00:32:36,470 --> 00:32:46,180
Speaker 3: So last night, Virginia, Nevada, and Missouri both voted to

482
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:50,500
Speaker 3: allow abortion through all nine months of pregnancy.

483
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 2: So, yeah.

484
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, one of the most grave evils of

485
00:32:57,460 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: our time, half of our states in this country. I just,

486
00:33:05,740 --> 00:33:10,380
Speaker 1: how did we get here? How did we get here?

487
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: And the only one thing that keeps coming to my mind,

488
00:33:13,700 --> 00:33:19,820
Speaker 1: what you have always said, Abby, is our party compromises.

489
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:20,660
Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.

490
00:33:21,930 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: We continually compromise.

491
00:33:24,620 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 3: Well, and even in Missouri, you know, everybody was like, oh,

492
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 3: but we've got to get this thing in Missouri.

493
00:33:31,580 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 2: Well, Missouri, I mean, Missouri put in an exception. Exceptions

494
00:33:37,010 --> 00:33:38,030
Speaker 2: were put in by, you.

495
00:33:39,650 --> 00:33:45,170
Speaker 3: Know, pro-lifers to allow abortions in cases of rape.

496
00:33:45,230 --> 00:33:45,300
Speaker 1: So.

497
00:33:48,140 --> 00:33:50,380
Speaker 2: I was like, I was asked, you know, to help

498
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 2: on that one. And I was like, no, I'm not

499
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,540
Speaker 2: helping you. Right.

500
00:33:54,060 --> 00:33:58,100
Speaker 3: Because I'm not going to, I'm not, like, I'm not

501
00:33:58,120 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 3: going to come out against it, but like, I'm not

502
00:33:59,660 --> 00:34:05,740
Speaker 3: going to help you with this amendment that supports killing

503
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,100
Speaker 3: children conceived in rape.

504
00:34:07,980 --> 00:34:14,550
Speaker 2: Right. Right. It's just, it's, to me, that's evil. Absolutely.

505
00:34:14,630 --> 00:34:15,290
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

506
00:34:16,070 --> 00:34:17,189
Speaker 2: I'm not going to help you do that.

507
00:34:17,370 --> 00:34:20,969
Speaker 3: So to me, like it failed, but I'm like, it

508
00:34:21,010 --> 00:34:23,450
Speaker 3: may not have failed if they would have put that in.

509
00:34:24,870 --> 00:34:28,430
Speaker 3: But when you, when you start compromising and putting in

510
00:34:28,489 --> 00:34:32,020
Speaker 3: wicked things, like God's not going to bless that.

511
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:33,439
Speaker 2: No, no.

512
00:34:33,980 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: He's going to be like, well, pretty well, this is,

513
00:34:37,580 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: this is what you're, this is what you want. This

514
00:34:39,860 --> 00:34:41,760
Speaker 1: is what you're begging for. Yeah.

515
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,830
Speaker 2: I kind of feel like in elections, we kind of

516
00:34:44,850 --> 00:34:45,650
Speaker 2: give what we deserve.

517
00:34:46,820 --> 00:34:47,450
Speaker 1: Sure.

518
00:34:48,730 --> 00:34:51,230
Speaker 2: And, you know, I just kind of feel like, well,

519
00:34:52,150 --> 00:34:54,210
Speaker 2: maybe this is what we deserve. Maybe this is what

520
00:34:54,250 --> 00:34:56,210
Speaker 2: we need. Maybe this is just kind of what we

521
00:34:56,250 --> 00:34:57,290
Speaker 2: get right now.

522
00:34:57,989 --> 00:34:58,250
Speaker 1: Right.

523
00:34:58,730 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 3: Maybe things need to get worse before people. It really

524
00:35:03,260 --> 00:35:08,620
Speaker 3: hits what they see. People really wake up and realize like, wow,

525
00:35:09,020 --> 00:35:11,180
Speaker 3: like we really need better leadership.

526
00:35:12,070 --> 00:35:12,310
Speaker 2: Right.

527
00:35:13,370 --> 00:35:16,830
Speaker 3: And we need. We need better leadership and we need

528
00:35:16,870 --> 00:35:21,230
Speaker 3: better leaders. And, you know, the next big election is

529
00:35:21,250 --> 00:35:23,980
Speaker 3: going to be our presidential primary.

530
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

531
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:30,339
Speaker 3: And hopefully we will get a really good, we'll have

532
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:31,900
Speaker 3: some really good people come forward.

533
00:35:31,980 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 2: I hope it's Marco Rubio. Yes. And I hope everybody

534
00:35:36,020 --> 00:35:37,260
Speaker 2: rallies around Marco Rubio.

535
00:35:38,010 --> 00:35:43,790
Speaker 1: You know, I saw some Democrats that actually said that

536
00:35:43,950 --> 00:35:48,470
Speaker 1: they could get behind him. Which is kind of funny

537
00:35:48,550 --> 00:35:52,310
Speaker 1: because I don't consider him to be liberal at all.

538
00:35:52,350 --> 00:35:53,130
Speaker 2: No, not at all.

539
00:35:53,150 --> 00:35:53,850
Speaker 1: But he's a good one.

540
00:35:54,030 --> 00:35:58,060
Speaker 2: He is a good one, yeah. Well, I mean, him

541
00:35:58,100 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 2: or DeSantis, you know. I mean, come on. Right. Totally. Totally.

542
00:36:05,580 --> 00:36:06,020
Speaker 2: Either way.

543
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 3: But I think it's going to be the next election

544
00:36:10,300 --> 00:36:13,780
Speaker 3: is going to be particularly important. I think that's going

545
00:36:13,890 --> 00:36:19,820
Speaker 3: to kind of put us on pace for the future.

546
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 3: In the next two years, though, it's going to help

547
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:24,940
Speaker 3: people see, like, what kind of leadership do.

548
00:36:24,900 --> 00:36:27,260
Speaker 2: You want, right, you know, moving forward.

549
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

550
00:36:28,780 --> 00:36:32,450
Speaker 3: And it's going to help galvanize the party as well,

551
00:36:32,510 --> 00:36:33,470
Speaker 3: the Republican Party.

552
00:36:33,530 --> 00:36:36,430
Speaker 2: Like, what do you want now? Like, look at what

553
00:36:36,450 --> 00:36:41,549
Speaker 2: you've gotten. You've compromised. You've compromised. Look at where you are.

554
00:36:41,690 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 3: And I think it also helps us see, like, Just

555
00:36:45,260 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 3: the leadership, even influencers and stuff like, guys, who are

556
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:50,580
Speaker 3: you listening to?

557
00:36:51,580 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 2: Who are we putting forward?

558
00:36:53,700 --> 00:36:56,779
Speaker 3: Like, do you really want all of these cutesy little

559
00:36:56,820 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 3: blonde girls as influencers in your party? Or do you

560
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 3: actually want people who know what they're talking about, who

561
00:37:02,620 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 3: know the strategy, who know how to win?

562
00:37:05,700 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 2: Right.

563
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 3: Like, let's have some serious conversations about strategy moving forward.

564
00:37:11,660 --> 00:37:13,620
Speaker 2: Yeah. And how we're going to win this thing.

565
00:37:14,370 --> 00:37:16,790
Speaker 3: Like, do you really want a porn star up at

566
00:37:16,830 --> 00:37:19,230
Speaker 3: the RNC telling you how to vote?

567
00:37:20,030 --> 00:37:20,350
Speaker 1: You know?

568
00:37:20,870 --> 00:37:25,290
Speaker 2: Yeah. Or can we have some serious conversations about strategy? Yeah.

569
00:37:25,630 --> 00:37:28,110
Speaker 2: And how to move forward. Amen.

570
00:37:28,550 --> 00:37:31,010
Speaker 1: Yeah. May God be with us the next two years.

571
00:37:31,430 --> 00:37:32,170
Speaker 1: That's for sure.

572
00:37:32,770 --> 00:37:34,930
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, definitely. Okay.

573
00:37:35,670 --> 00:37:39,109
Speaker 1: Well, more to come, guys. But yeah, we just had to,

574
00:37:39,370 --> 00:37:43,150
Speaker 1: we had to do a little, some decompressing after this.

575
00:37:44,210 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 1: After these midterms. Yeah. So keep saying your prayers. And

576
00:37:49,700 --> 00:37:51,420
Speaker 1: until next time.

577
00:37:52,140 --> 00:37:53,500
Speaker 2: Keep raising your little saints.

578
00:37:54,219 --> 00:37:58,690
Speaker 1: Take heart.
