00:00to be. What happened is we brought it back to the states and the country is now coming

00:05together on this issue. It's been a great thing. Thank you, President Biden. It's been

00:10a terrible thing what you've done. The fact is that the vast majority of constitutional

00:14scholars supported Roe when it was decided, supported Roe. And that was that's this idea

00:20that they were all against it. It's just ridiculous. And this is the guy who says the state should

00:24be able to have it. We're a state where in six weeks you don't even know whether you're

00:29pregnant or not, but you cannot see a doctor, have you and have him decide on what your

00:34circumstances are, whether you need help. The idea that states are able to do this is

00:38a little like saying we're going to turn civil rights back to the states, that each state

00:42have a different role. Look, there's so many young women who have been, including a young

00:47woman who just was murdered and he went to the funeral. The idea that she was murdered

00:54by a by by an immigrant coming in to talk about that. But here's the deal. There's a

00:59lot of young women to be raped by their other in-laws, by their by their spouses, brothers

01:06and sisters, by just it's just ridiculous. And they can do nothing about it. And they

01:11try to arrest them on the cross state line. Thank you. There have been many young women

01:16murdered by the same people he allows to come across our border. We have a border that's

01:22the most dangerous place anywhere in the world. Consider the most dangerous place anywhere

01:26in the world. And he opened it up. And these killers are coming into our country and they

01:30are raping and killing women. And it's a terrible thing. As far as the abortion is concerned,

01:36it is now back with the states. The states are voting. In many cases, the it's frankly

01:41a very liberal decision. In many cases, it's the opposite. But they're voting and it's

01:45bringing it back to the vote of the people, which is what everybody wanted, including

01:49the founders, if they knew about this issue, which, frankly, they didn't. But they would

01:54have everybody wanted brought back. Ronald Reagan wanted it brought back. He wasn't able

01:58to get it. Everybody wanted it brought back. And many presidents had tried to get it back.

02:04I was the one to do it. And again, this gives it the vote of the people. And that's where

02:09they wanted it. Every legal scholar wanted it that way.
