00:00And I might have taken it because of their rhetoric.
00:03I might have taken it because of their rhetoric.
00:05Who knows?
00:06I withstood vicious attacks to pick and confirm three great Supreme Court justices, Neil Gorsuch,
00:12Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.
00:16They're great people.
00:17They're courageous people.
00:19We've also achieved what the pro-life movement fought to get.
00:23For 50 years, they've wanted to get this.
00:25For 50 years, they've been working so hard getting abortion out of the federal government.
00:31They wanted it out.
00:33That means everybody, Democrats, liberals, Republicans, conservatives, they wanted it
00:40out and they wanted to bring it back to the states for 51 years, to be exact.
00:45And that's the way everybody, all legal scholars, virtually everybody, they wanted it out of
00:50the federal government, brought back to the states.
00:53And now it's up to the will of the people in each state.
00:56It's up to the voters.
00:58They're doing it.
00:59And some, some states will be more conservative in what they vote for, and other states will
01:05be more liberal.
01:06I mean, Ohio, we love Ohio, but they voted quite a liberal law.
01:10Kansas, same thing, very liberal.
01:13Then you'll have a Texas and you'll have other places, but it's now being voted on all over.
01:19The people will decide, and that's the way they always wanted it.
01:24If Kamala Harris has her way, they will have a federal law for abortion to rip the baby
01:30out of the womb in the eighth, ninth month, and even after birth, execute the baby after
01:36birth.
01:37The baby is born.
01:38Remember the former governor of Virginia, he said, the baby is born.
01:44We sit with the mother and we discuss what you want to do with the baby.
01:50In other words, if you want, we'll execute the baby after birth.
01:54And they have laws and they want to pass laws to that effect.
01:58These people are radicalized and they're sick.
02:01They're sick people.
02:02So they're really, if you look at it, they're really the radical ones that like Ronald Reagan.
02:07I strongly believe in exceptions for life of the mother, rape and incest.
02:12I think it's very important.
02:14Don't forget, we have to, you have to go, you have to go with your heart, but you also
02:20have to win elections.
02:21Very important.
02:22You have to win.
02:23So go with your heart, do what you want, but you do have to win elections.
02:27We have elections that are very important to win.
02:31And if you don't, if you don't do certain things, you're not going to win elections
02:37and it'll be a very pyrrhic victory.
02:40It'll be a victory that's not really a victory at all.
02:43But Ronald Reagan felt that I felt that many people feel that.
02:49And we really did something that nobody thought was possible.
02:52I want to thank the six Supreme Court justices, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, John Roberts,
02:59Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett for the wisdom and the courage they
03:04showed on this long term and very, very contentious issue.
03:10And getting it back to the states puts the question where it belongs with a vote of the
03:14people.
03:15And it's happening all over the country.
03:16You're having the vote of the people.
03:19And over time, it will all work out.
03:21It's working out at a rapid rate already.
03:24You know that it's going to have many, many states are voting on it now and many have
03:28already voted.
03:29And sometimes, again, sometimes the vote will be as you like it.
03:33Sometimes it won't be quite as you like it.
03:35But our country can finally come together.
03:38This issue has been killing our country for 51 years.
03:43As soon as I take the oath of office, I will stop the Biden-Harris administration's weaponization
03:48of law enforcement against Americans of faith and against, frankly, their political opponent.
