00:00Beautiful voice to thank you when I return to the White House

00:03I will once again aggressively defend religious freedom and all of its forms and many forms

00:09But we will defend it in every single one of its forms

00:13We will protect Christians in our schools and our military and our government and our workplaces in our hospitals

00:19and in our public square

00:23And my next term I will once again appoint a rock-solid

00:27Conservative and we are putting in you know, we put in almost 300 judges and three Supreme Court justices

00:33To interpret the law and the Constitution as written

00:38It was being interpreted slightly different than that as you probably noticed in my first four years

00:43We totally transformed the federal bench and putting in all of these judges and nobody's ever seen anything like it actually a record

00:52pro-constitution judges

00:53I withstood vicious attacks to pick and confirm three great Supreme Court justices

00:59Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett

01:03good people too

01:08I took a lot of heat. I took a lot of heat a lot of hits, but we did the right thing

01:13They're great people. Thanks to these justices

01:17we have also achieved what the pro-life movement fought to get for 49 years and

01:22We've gotten abortion out of the federal government and back to the state

01:27The way everybody in all legal scholars always said it should be

01:34Nobody thought that would happen

01:36That's why they wanted it

01:37the whole thing was they wanted the Roe v. Wade was federal and they wanted it all back in the states where the people could

01:44Vote and make their decisions. It's now up to the will of the people in each state

01:49Some states will be more conservative other states will be more liberal that's happening now

01:53you see the votes are all taking place and

01:56it's the way every legal scholar and just about all the Democrats and all the

02:01Republicans and conservatives and liberals they all wanted it that way and we did something that was

02:06Amazing the big problem was it was caught up in the federal government

02:09but the people will decide and that's the way it should be the people are now deciding and some states are a

02:16Little bit more conservative and some states are much more liberal if the radical Democratic streams get their way

02:23they will have a federal law for

02:25Abortion to rip the baby out of the womb in the seventh eighth and ninth month and even execute the baby

02:32After birth they have that you know that the governor

02:36The governor think of it the governor of Virginia previous governor. We have a great governor of Virginia right now, but

02:44Glenn Youngkin is doing a great job

02:47But the previous governor of Virginia you don't want to make that very clear because he's doing great

02:53The previous was not so good

02:55But he actually made that safe and we'll put the baby down after the babies will put that and you'll decide what to do

03:01and there are states that

03:03Allow that they're the radical ones on this issue far and away the radical ones not us every voter

03:09Has to go with your heart and do what's right

03:12But we also have to get elected because we have a lot of other things we have to get elected

03:16You have to be able to win like Ronald Reagan. I believe in exceptions for the life of the mother rape and incest

03:22Some people do I think most people do actually but some people don't you have to go with your heart

03:28But you have to also remember you have to get elected. I want to thank the six Supreme Court justices Clarence Thomas Samuel Alito

03:35John Roberts Brett Kavanaugh Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett for the wisdom and the courage they showed on this

03:43Long-term very contentious issue. This has been a long time. It's been fought

03:50Getting it back to the states puts the question where it belongs with the vote of the people and over time

03:55It will all work out. It's working out right now

03:58But it's all gonna work out and it's where everybody wanted including the legal scholars

04:03But it's where everybody wanted it to be and it's taken actually they say 49, but it's probably 51 years

04:10It's taken to get this done above all in the Republican Party. We will always

04:16support families babies life and

04:19very very important to the
