1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: There is a reality that has not talked enough about 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:08,239 Speaker 1: in America, and it's this. No man would tolerate this 3 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:16,280 Speaker 1: politics tramples women's dignity, their human rights, their bodies, their agency. 4 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: And this project, this effort is underway here in America. 5 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: It must be opposed, it must be stopped. It is 6 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: April the eighth, two hundred and ten days remain until 7 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,239 Speaker 1: the American people decide who the next president of the 8 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: United States will be. This is the warning. Donald Trump 9 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: has laid out his position on abortion. He claims that 10 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: he wants the States to decide the issue. Understand something. 11 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is surrounded by a phalanx of religious fanatics 12 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: like Jerry Folwell Junior, people like Pastor Paula, people who 13 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: are fraudsters, people who are extremists, people who do not 14 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:18,839 Speaker 1: believe in the separation of church and state, which is 15 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: one of the greatest achievements for human freedom in all 16 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: of the animals of human history. It's an American invention. 17 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:37,839 Speaker 1: Trump is a huckster surrounded by religious hucksters. The religious 18 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: extremists around Donald Trump have only ever wanted one thing 19 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: from him. The bargain their support. The quid pro quo 20 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: was a return on an investment, and the investment was 21 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: the overthrowing of Roe v. Donald Trump when he says 22 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party believes in abortion after the birth, where 23 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: Democrats supposedly, according to Trump, believe that the infant can 24 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: be murdered, and that's an abortion as opposed to murder. 25 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: It's all insanity, it's nonsense. No Democrat supports this. Nobody 26 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: in America believes this. This is a lie, a slur, 27 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: a defamation, a figment of Trump's imagination, any imagination of 28 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: the religious zealous around him. But millions of Americans believe 29 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: that the Democratic Party believes as a core principle that abortion, 30 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 1: elective abortion can happen right up to the moment of birth. 31 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: And that is not true. That is not real. There 32 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: are no elective abortions that take place in America in 33 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: the eighth month, in the ninth month, up until the 34 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: moment of birth. There are tragic circumstances that require medical 35 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: intervention for non viable pregnancies, tragedies late in the pregnancy 36 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: where a husband and wife go to the doctor together 37 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: and they learned that the child they were expecting that 38 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: they had laid out the room for built the group 39 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: for was catastrophically deformed, not viable, unable to take their 40 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: first breath and survive. What do you do? This is 41 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: a medical procedure. You don't need Lindsey Graham in the 42 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: room for this. You don't need Marjorie Taylor Green in 43 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: the room for this. You don't need Mike Pence or 44 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: the Mike Pences of the world in the room for this. 45 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: Don't need Josh Holly or Ted Cruz in the room 46 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: for these decisions. The Republican Party that I grew up 47 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: in and was part of for many years, was supposed 48 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: to be the limited government party, the small government party, 49 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: but it has become deformed and hideous. It is the 50 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: ultimate big government party. It is the big government party 51 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: that can't stop looking, that can't stop peering, can't stop 52 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: keeping through the bedroom windows. And always there is a 53 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: lust for control. Control over women, over their bodies, over 54 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 1: their reproductive organs, over their rights, their autonomy, the pills 55 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: they can take, the medical procedures they may have, the 56 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: advice that their doctors are allowed to or not allowed 57 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: to give. There is a reality that has not talked 58 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: enough about in America, and it's this. No man would 59 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: tolerate this. It is not conceivable that men would tolerate 60 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: a political regime where there is a constant imposition by 61 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: politicians of their sensibilities on our male bodies. We would 62 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 1: not abide it. For thousands of years of history, it 63 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: would not be tolerated. Yet, in American culture and in 64 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: cultures all over the world, politics tramples women's dignity, their 65 00:05:55,240 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: human rights, their bodies, their agency. And this pro this 66 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: effort is underway here in America. It must be opposed, 67 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,799 Speaker 1: It must be stopped. What Donald Trump is saying about 68 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: abortion is untrue. It's hideously untrue. Donald Trump is an 69 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: extremist on this issue. He is appointed extremists to the 70 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: highest court in the land. They have decimated the bonds 71 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: of trust between the American people and the judiciary. They 72 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: have eradicated belief and fairness in the concept of the 73 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: rule of law through their interference, their intervention, their constant 74 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: playing of politics. Donald Trump is trying to find a 75 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: middle position on this abortion question. He is the person 76 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: who has instigated the extremism. He is the person who 77 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 1: initiated the repeal of Roe v. Wade by nominating justices 78 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: who overtly pledged to him a political result from a 79 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: judicial outcome that badly corrupted faith and belief in the 80 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: rule of law by the American people. It was a 81 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: terrible decision by Trump, who has constantly tried to play 82 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: a double game on these social issues. This is all related. 83 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: When he says there are good people on both sides, 84 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: meaning the Nazis at Charlottesville, it's a wink and nod. 85 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: And now on this issue of abortion, what he's trying 86 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: to signal is that he's not Mike Johnson. He doesn't 87 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: believe that people in dinosaurs were walking around together five 88 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: thousand years ago. What Trump is trying to say is 89 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: that he's a moderating influence against the extremists. You can 90 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: trust him, He'll keep them in check. So this is 91 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: a wink and nod double game where Trump is appeasing 92 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: his base and also trying to deceive moderates into saying that, hey, 93 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: when it comes to this position, I'm not on the 94 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: side of people that want to make abortion illegal. Though 95 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: the fact that abortion is on its way to being 96 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: illegal and there's a legal regime that now says that 97 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: women who have an abortion are criminals in a lot 98 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: of states, and that doctors may probably and that doctors 99 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: may be prosecuted and other people involved may be prosecuted. 100 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: This is as a result of trump Ism. This is 101 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: his achievement. It is his accomplishment. He can't walk away 102 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: from it, but he's trying to mitigate it. Rhetorically, does 103 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: President Biden's criticism of Donald Trump measure up When President 104 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 1: Biden says, Donald Trump, when he becomes president again, if 105 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:05,839 Speaker 1: he does, will sign immediately legislation that bans abortion. Of course, 106 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: he's telling the truth. Donald Trump does not believe American 107 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: women should be able to have a direct relationship with 108 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: a doctor. He believes politicians should be engaged, need to 109 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: be involved, need to be in the middle of it. 110 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:25,719 Speaker 1: In this dogma, this doctrine that says women in America 111 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: need a male guardian, a custodianship of sort, a political 112 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: consulting of sorts about what to do with their bodies 113 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 1: is an extremely extreme position and the American people should 114 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: recognize it for what it is. It is extreme. This 115 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: is a dangerous moment in America where freedom is being 116 00:09:53,760 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: trampled upon, and the groups that are most vulnerable or women, 117 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: black people, brown people, any minority group that has historically 118 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: been downtrodden in America is in the danger zone. We 119 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: should understand this. Women are at risk. There are at 120 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: risk from a disease. The disease is fascism, because fascism 121 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 1: is a dogma, a doctrine of control. And there has 122 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: never been a political doctrine or dogma of control that 123 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: has not landed very heavily on women who should remember 124 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: that as a first principle in this most momentous election 125 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: that lies just two hundred and ten days ahead.
