25 human beings, sons and daughters, children being
0:04
sacrificed alive at the DNC in the name of abortion rights.
0:09
They've now done 25 abortions, 25 children, innocent human
0:13
beings whose lives are being ended at the DNCI.
0:16
Think about the Pagan rituals of child sacrifice and bringing
0:19
your baby to the idol and you sacrifice your child.
0:23
How is this any different? But the idol here is politics.
0:26
The idol here is this false idea of freedom.
0:33
Hey everybody, welcome to the special episode of the Lila Rose
0:36
podcast. I'm going to keep my eye on the
0:38
chat here. We're doing an interactive
0:41
special YouTube Live Today. We're going to put this up on
0:43
podcast app later so you guys can hear it because it's about
0:45
breaking news. It's about what's happening at
0:48
the Democratic National Convention this week.
0:51
It just kicked off yesterday and Oh my goodness, there's a lot to
0:54
talk about. Some really shocking and
0:56
breaking news coming out of the DNCI.
0:59
Think that actually it's a call to action for all people of good
1:03
conscience and good faith right now.
1:05
To be aware of what is taking place at the DNC and then also
1:08
to pray because lives are literally on the line right now.
1:12
So we're going to run through what that's looking like in just
1:15
the first 48 hours of the DNC. Some of the breaking news items
1:19
that are really urgent for us to be aware of.
1:21
And then I'm going to also be taking questions.
1:23
We're doing a live Q&A, so I'm in the chat right now.
1:26
Hey, John Henry, thank you for joining.
1:28
Thanks for being here. Hey, Alexandra, thanks for being
1:31
here. Put your questions in the chat
1:33
if you have any. I will be.
1:35
Paying attention to the chat throughout this live.
1:37
OK, this week, as everyone knows, the DNC is convening and
1:42
we now have a, it's clear Kamala Paris, of course, is the nominee
1:49
for the Democratic Party. And I was up last night till
1:52
midnight because I was listening to the DNC live programming.
1:56
It ended late. And then I was doing a news
1:59
media hit about the DNC, a live news media hit and what had just
2:02
transpired. But I want to start with this
2:04
headline, which completely breaks my heart.
2:08
It completely is a just a devastating headline coming out
2:12
of the DNC. Let's pull up the articles from
2:15
the New York Post. Some of you guys may know
2:18
Planned Parenthood is at the DNC.
2:21
They have a truck out there and they are doing live abortions
2:26
for free at the DNC, handing out chemical abortion pills to
2:30
start, forced the starving process, starvation process for
2:34
a developing baby and then a forced miscarriage.
2:37
And according to the reports, this is the New York Post
2:39
reporting here. According to Planned Parenthood,
2:42
if you can Scroll down here, Franco, you'll see the Planned
2:45
Parenthood lead at the truck is saying that they have done 20.
2:49
As of end of day today, Tuesday, they will have done 25
2:53
abortions. Just want to pause for a moment
2:58
because with all of the political rhetoric, all of the
3:01
chaos, this is a news article about 25 human beings, sons and
3:08
daughters, children who are being sacrificed alive at the
3:14
DNC in the name of abortion rights.
3:17
Because the reason Planned Parenthood is there is to make a
3:20
political statement. They're there because Planned
3:23
Parenthood, the biggest abortion chain, gets 1/2 of a billion
3:25
dollars from taxpayers through politics.
3:29
They are extremely influential. Among the Democrats and the
3:34
Planned Parenthood has an abortion truck at the DNC to
3:37
make a political statement and they are doing abortions at the
3:41
DNC. They've now done 25 abortions,
3:45
25 children, innocent human beings whose lives are being
3:48
ended at the DNC. And this is done as a political
3:54
statement. I think about, I think about the
3:58
Pagan rituals of child sacrifice and bringing your baby to the
4:02
idol to to pledge your allegiance to your idol, to your
4:06
God, and you sacrifice your child, child sacrifice you talk
4:10
about. And we think about that in the
4:12
Christian tradition, the Old Testament, and how God looked
4:15
with such anger and righteous indignation at the spilling of
4:19
innocent blood as a Pagan ritual.
4:21
How is this any different? But the idol here is politics.
4:25
The idol here is this false idea of freedom, women's rights.
4:30
How is it my right as a woman or as a mother to kill my child?
4:33
I do not have that right. They say my body, my choice.
4:36
When you are pregnant, there is another body inside your body.
4:40
It is not just your body. There's another human life
4:43
present that deserves rights. The right to life is the first
4:47
right. Devastating.
4:50
This is a spiritual battle, guys.
4:52
This is a spiritual battle. This is satanic.
4:55
You saw what happened at the Olympics, the opening ceremony,
4:58
the mockery, the abject mockery of Jesus Christ at his Last
5:02
Supper. The LGBTQ agenda present all of
5:06
these drag Queens mocking the Lord and having this
5:09
presentation. They said, oh, we weren't really
5:11
mocking the Lord. Well, the lead actor at the
5:13
Olympics, who was in the opening ceremony, one of the drag
5:16
Queens, as they're called, said on her, said on his or her
5:19
Instagram. That I was Jesus and that they
5:22
knew what they were doing. I think that this is a spiritual
5:25
battle and Satan, I think, knows that he has limited time and
5:29
limited rain on this earth. And they're not even hiding it
5:32
anymore. The the child sacrifice, the
5:34
mockery of faith, it's not even hidden anymore.
5:37
It is out in the open for everyone to see.
5:40
I see some people in my timeline on XI have a tweet about this
5:43
reporting on what the New York Post has reported, what Planned
5:45
Parenthood has themselves said. They're they've killed 25 babies
5:48
so far at the DNC. And some people are saying it's,
5:50
it's not real. It couldn't possibly be real.
5:52
How crazy, how insane. People who don't want to believe
5:55
that this is true because it's so horrible.
5:57
It is true. It is happening and we can't
5:59
look away. We need to know and we need to
6:01
know, share this truth. And of course, we need to pray,
6:03
pray for conversion, pray for revival.
6:06
All right, a few other things you need to know about happening
6:08
at the DNC right now. I mean, this is an abortion
6:10
bonanza. Here's a clip of abortion pills
6:13
activists pro abortion activists at the DNC dressed up as
6:17
abortion pills to promote. Killing babies?
6:21
Turn the sound up here. So you see.
6:40
These are activists that are there to celebrate abortion at
6:43
the DNC. They're literally dressed up as
6:45
an abortion chemical pill that is designed to kill babies,
6:49
almost 60% of all US abortions. So there's almost 3000 abortions
6:53
a day. Over 1500 roughly of these
6:56
children killed by abortion in the first trimester are killed
6:58
via chemical abortion pills. This is the latest data that we
7:02
have, and they're dressed up as the abortion procedure, marching
7:06
through the streets to celebrate abortion.
7:09
Remember this whole thing of, oh, oh, we don't celebrate
7:11
abortions. We want abortions to be safe,
7:13
legal, and rare. This used to be the the talking
7:15
point of Hillary Clinton back in the 90s with the Democrats.
7:17
We want abortion to be safe, legal and rare.
7:20
This is no longer the case. It is now abortion without
7:23
restriction. Parade it through the streets.
7:27
Perform abortions at our political event Because we
7:31
pledge allegiance to abortion, we pledge allegiance to ending
7:36
the life of a human being as a core.
7:38
Part of our political identity. This is what the Democratic
7:42
Party has become. It's horrific.
7:44
Another clip here. This is Planned Parenthood
7:46
passing out merch at the DNC. Abortion girly.
7:49
It's not even about women anymore.
7:51
It's not even about empowering women.
7:53
I mean, they. Used to use.
7:54
This language, this euphemistic language, these false words, now
7:57
it's just saying I'm an abortion girly.
7:58
It's just I'm all for abortion. It's not even about my future
8:02
and my rights and my hope and my dreams.
8:04
It's just about abortion now. It's it's bald, it's in your
8:06
face. Here's a statue.
8:10
Here's a statue of an IUD that has been an inflatable IUD that
8:15
has been set up outside the DNC by activists.
8:20
What kind of a view of women is it that your whole idea of
8:24
womanhood and women's empowerment and women's rights
8:27
is sticking something into the core part of your body that
8:30
makes you a woman versus a man? Your womb to make it
8:33
inhospitable and inhabitable for a human being, a new life.
8:36
Because motherhood is that horrible to you.
8:39
That's this is and also that you demand sex without any
8:42
responsibility, so you. Need your birth control?
8:45
This is. This is the the bald
8:48
presentation of the ideology on display at the DNC.
8:53
Motherhood is not a burden and a threat.
8:57
Motherhood is not parenthood, is not something to be mocked or
9:01
belittled. That's what they're doing here.
9:03
They're belittling that even the idea of pregnancy.
9:06
They're belittling the idea of of a core aspect of what it
9:10
means to be a woman, that we can bring life into the world.
9:11
That's being belittled here. It's being mocked.
9:15
OK, one more, one more thing at the DNC.
9:17
We're going to do 2 more things we're going to show you.
9:19
And I'm sorry, I hate to be the bearer of this news, but some
9:21
people are saying this isn't happening.
9:22
They're saying this isn't true, this is fault.
9:24
Fake news. It's fake news that the
9:27
Democrats have gone so radical in abortion that some kind of
9:31
conservative talking point. This is not about conservative
9:33
versus liberal. This is about.
9:35
What's? Actually happening right now at
9:38
the DNC and every single voter needs to know.
9:41
I'm going to take a quick look at the chat here.
9:44
Catherine is saying, I've heard multiple people say that they're
9:46
going to be doing an abortion on stage.
9:50
I mean, I, I, they are effectively doing an abortion on
9:53
stage because they're staging abortions outside the DNC.
9:56
And, and let me just remind you, the chemical abortions that
9:59
they're doing live at the DNC right now, these chemical
10:02
abortions can take up to 2-3 days.
10:05
And sometimes the aftermath is weeks and it basically forces,
10:09
it kills the baby through starvation and then it forces a
10:11
miscarriage. This can lead to intense
10:14
bleeding. It for in many cases, it leads
10:15
to emergency room visits for these women.
10:18
We're talking about women who are now at this political
10:21
convention. That are going through abortion
10:24
procedures and they're going to be bleeding.
10:27
Sometimes they pass out. I mean, there's a lot of
10:29
complications that can happen. And this is what they've turned,
10:32
they've turned the DNC into that.
10:34
I mean, I think people don't really realize what these
10:36
procedures even entail. Another comment is is folks are
10:42
saying we're praying this is satanic.
10:44
Yes, here's a comment from EM saying pray the rosary.
10:47
Yes, we need to pray in response to all of this.
10:50
I want to go to the ideology of what is actually being said,
10:52
though, by some of the speakers at the DNC, because they are
10:55
definitely leading with abortion at the convention.
10:58
It's being mentioned in all the speeches.
10:59
It was mentioned in Biden's speech last night.
11:01
It's going to be mentioned, of course, in Kamala Harris's
11:03
speech and Governor Walz's speech, who's her VP on the vice
11:07
president choice, her choice for vice president on the ticket, on
11:09
her ticket. But there's also all these
11:11
stories that are being told by attendees and by those that are
11:15
invited to speak on stage about abortion.
11:18
And keep in mind, despite the radicalism outside and around
11:21
the DNC, they still want to make it sound as winsome as possible
11:26
in the stories they're telling to persuade people that you need
11:29
abortion, right? This is the message of the
11:32
Democrats right now is you as a woman, you need abortion.
11:36
If you don't have abortion, then you're going to be oppressed and
11:40
you're going to be damaged. And it is core to your womanhood
11:43
to be able to kill your baby. And so I want to show this clip
11:46
because I think this is if you've heard of the idea and
11:49
debate of strong manning a person's or steel manning a
11:53
person's argument. So they say with a, if you have
11:56
an opposition in a debate, you can straw man them and create a,
12:00
an argument that that's not really what they say, that's
12:02
weaker than their own position and then take it down, right?
12:04
That would be a straw man. You come up with an argument
12:06
that's not exactly your opposition's argument, and then
12:09
you attack it and take it down because it's easy to dismantle
12:12
their position when it's not actually their position, right?
12:15
There's something called steel manning your opposition where
12:17
you take your opposition strongest argument for their
12:20
case and then you attack front on you.
12:24
You respond to and debate front on the strongest possible
12:28
argument that your opposition can have.
12:30
And so I wanted to do this in this live for you guys because I
12:33
think it's really important that we engage not just the insane,
12:37
insane extremism of the Democratic Party on abortion
12:41
with all of this free abortions at the DNC and inflatable Iuds,
12:44
etcetera, but that we look at what is their strongest
12:47
argument, the one that might persuade the most people.
12:50
And then let's respond to that, right?
12:53
So that's what we're going to do next.
12:56
This is a heartbreaking story of a young girl who shared about
13:00
her story at the Democratic National Convention.
13:02
I think this was yesterday. This is a clip that's going
13:05
viral. The media is really eager to
13:07
play this clip because they think it helps them make their
13:10
case that we need abortion on demand.
13:12
I'm going to respond, but let's take a look at the clip.
13:14
I was raped by my stepfather after years of sexual abuse.
13:20
At age 12, I took my first pregnancy test and it was
13:26
positive. That was the first time I was
13:29
ever told you have options. I can't imagine not having a
13:35
choice. But today, that's the reality
13:40
for many women and girls across the country because of Donald
13:44
Trump's abortion bans. He calls it a beautiful thing.
13:50
What is so beautiful about a child having to carry her
13:57
parents child? Kamala Harris will sign a
14:02
national law to restore the right to an abortion.
14:05
She will fight for every woman and every girl.
14:10
You can pause it. So, you know, what they did,
14:13
what the Democrats did here was in a way shrewd.
14:16
They had this young woman with this horrific story.
14:19
I mean, just devastating story. Get up and share and say, you
14:23
know, basically we need abortion on demand in America because
14:26
that's what Kamala Harris is going to do and we want her to
14:29
win, basically. And Trump won't do that.
14:31
So a few things to note here. First of all, sexual abuse of a
14:35
child is unbelievably horrific. It is unbelievably horrific and
14:40
she's sharing that she was sexually abused as a little girl
14:42
by her stepfather. And then she goes on to share
14:45
that she got pregnant at 12 and that was the first time she said
14:48
she had a choice. When I.
14:50
First heard this clip yesterday. My what rose up in me was a
14:55
righteous anger that she was not given options, choice or any
15:00
form of protection before she got pregnant by rape.
15:05
Meaning the focus of this clip is on her saying that she was
15:09
liberated basically by abortion. Where were the people preventing
15:12
her from being sexually molested by her own parent?
15:14
By her stepfather? Why wasn't this about the people
15:18
that should have intervened, whether they were doctors,
15:21
teachers, the other parent involved, relatives that should
15:25
have intervened in this young girl's life so that she was
15:27
never in the position in the 1st place to be sexually abused and
15:29
then impregnated by this stepfather?
15:32
I mean, the fact that she is making kind of her saving grace
15:35
be an abortion, What about removing her from the abuse?
15:39
Because abortion's not a saving grace.
15:42
Abortion doesn't heal the abuse. Abortion doesn't stop the abuse.
15:45
If anything, abortion's often used by abusers to continue
15:50
their abuse because they can, you know, pregnancy is evidence
15:53
of a crime. They can keep the girl
15:55
continuing to be available to them sexually.
15:57
She's not pregnant. No one knows.
15:58
We're going to keep on the abuse going.
16:00
I have interviewed, probably at this point, 10 different young
16:03
girls who've been through similar stories like this young
16:05
woman and who endured most of them forced abortions.
16:11
They were taken at age 12131415 to get secret abortions because
16:18
their abuser wanted to keep the abuse quiet.
16:22
Abortion does not heal a woman from abuse or rape or a girl
16:27
from abuse or rape. It does not liberate her from
16:30
abuse or rape. It is actually used as a tool to
16:32
continue abuse and rape. And we've documented this at
16:35
live action in the series called Aiding Abusers.
16:38
We hood did a whole documentary series on this.
16:41
We wrote a whole documentary report using the research about
16:44
sexually trafficked victims, young girls, court cases.
16:47
These are stories of girls who would later on sue Planned
16:51
Parenthood were covering up their abuse because their
16:54
abusers would take them to the abortion clinic.
16:56
The abortion clinic would not report anything, and the young
16:59
girl would continue a cycle of abuse being sent back into the
17:01
arms of her abuser after her abortion.
17:05
So already the narrative here is putting the the punishment in
17:10
the wrong place, right? The punishment in this girl's
17:13
story and in her world at age 12, was put the punishment on
17:16
the baby. Kill the baby.
17:17
That'll solve this. No, the punishment needs to be
17:20
on the abuser. And she should have been
17:22
protected from the abuser and she wasn't.
17:25
And it's so tragic that everyone's cheering for her in
17:27
the abortion she had instead of saying where what happened?
17:30
Why were you still in in the throes of abuse at age 12?
17:33
Who was, who failed you? Who wasn't there to protect you?
17:37
I want to address a couple more things here.
17:40
Look, as we said, sexual abuse is horrific.
17:44
But when there's a pregnancy, if there's a pregnancy, there's
17:46
another human life involved. Now there's another human life
17:49
involved and that human life is not responsible for the sins of
17:54
his or her father. They're not responsible.
17:57
I think about my friend Rebecca Keesling.
17:59
She's an accomplished attorney now at the mother of four
18:01
children. And she was conceived in rape.
18:04
Her mother was the victim of a brutal rape.
18:07
And at the time, abortion was illegal.
18:09
This was right before the passing of Roe V.
18:11
Wade. And she, I tried to get an
18:14
abortion, wasn't able to because abortion was illegal, ended up
18:17
giving birth to my friend Rebecca.
18:20
Rebecca thanks God for the abortion law that protected her
18:22
life. And later on, Rebecca's mother,
18:25
this rape survivor would say, I thank God myself when she met
18:28
Rebecca later on when I think Rebecca was in her 30s because
18:31
she placed her for adoption. I thank God that I wasn't able
18:34
to kill you because look at your beautiful life.
18:36
Look at your beautiful you. So when this young girl, I mean,
18:40
it's heartbreaking. But when this young girl says,
18:42
you know, there's nothing beautiful about me carrying my
18:45
stepfather's child, she's right. There's nothing beautiful about
18:49
sexual abuse. There's nothing beautiful about
18:51
the trauma that she endured. It is horrific.
18:54
And the people failed her around her to not protect her from
18:57
that. But when there's a new human
18:59
life involved, that life deserves protection.
19:02
That life deserves love and we need to be realistic that giving
19:06
a rape survivor or a incest survivor, giving them an
19:11
abortion, going and killing that baby, that's not healing them
19:14
from the trauma of their rape. That's adding a new and
19:17
additional trauma, an additional injustice on top of the original
19:21
injustice. So I think this is so important
19:24
that we talk about openly. It's so important that we are
19:27
bold on this and stand on this because every child, no matter
19:30
how they were conceived. Whether they were.
19:32
Conceived in sexual violence. Conceived in poverty, no matter
19:36
how they were conceived, Conceived in the worst
19:38
circumstances. That child conceived in a A.
19:42
Drunken stupor or whatever it was, that child is still a human
19:46
being. Your worst is not determined by
19:49
how you were conceived. Your worth is not affected by
19:53
the sins of your parents. You're worth.
19:55
You are as a human life, you are invaluable.
19:58
And I wish that that girl knew that about her worth and that I
20:01
wish that child that was killed, that someone advocated for that
20:05
child and that child. Someone could have looked at the
20:08
child in their eyes and said you are valuable.
20:10
It doesn't matter how you came into this world, you are
20:12
precious and we're going to fight for you.
20:14
That's the pro-life position. The pro-life position is that
20:17
every life, no matter your background, no matter your own
20:20
struggles, your own mistakes you may have made.
20:24
No matter what you look like, walk like, talk like, where
20:26
you're from, it doesn't matter, your disabilities doesn't
20:29
matter. You are a human being.
20:32
You are a child of God. You are made in God's image and
20:34
likeness and God has a plan for your life.
20:37
God has a plan for your life. I'm going to talk about this
20:41
more when we close out, but I do need to bring up two more clips
20:44
for you guys for you to be aware of this.
20:46
A couple more viral clips on this that everyone needs to see.
20:49
All right, there was a news clip recently.
20:51
I'm going to talk about the Republicans for a minute.
20:53
This is all about what's happening at the DNC.
20:54
It's important. But I do want to compare and
20:57
contrast this with the Republicans because there's this
21:00
is it. This is you could say night and
21:02
day. No, it's not night and day.
21:03
It's different, different degrees of night actually.
21:06
So let's show the invocations next that were done at both
21:11
conventions. So they both conventions had
21:14
priests come and pray. And I want to call attention to
21:17
what these priests said. Let's start with the Democratic
21:20
National Convention invocation. Let us pray.
21:30
We praise you, O God of all creation.
21:34
Quicken in us a resolve to protect your handiwork.
21:40
You are the source of every blessing that graces our lives
21:44
and our nation. We pray that you help us to
21:49
truly understand and answer the sacred call of citizenship.
21:55
We are a nation composed of every people and culture, united
22:02
not by ties of blood, but by the profound aspirations of life and
22:09
freedom, justice and unbound hope.
22:14
These aspirations are why our forebears saw America as a
22:19
beacon of hope. And with your steady guidance,
22:24
Lord, may we remain so. Today, in every generation, we
22:31
are called to renew these aspirations to reweave the
22:36
fabric of America. We do so when we live out the
22:40
virtues that dwell in our hearts, but also when we
22:45
confront our failures to root out ongoing injustices in our
22:50
national life, especially those created by moral blindness and
22:56
fear of the other. We pray for peace, especially
23:02
for people suffering the senselessness of war.
23:06
But as we pray, we must also act, for building up the common
23:11
good takes work. It takes love.
23:15
And so we pray. May our nation become more fully
23:20
a builder of peace in our wounded world, with the courage
23:24
to imagine and pursue a loving future together.
23:29
And may we, as individual Americans become more fully the
23:34
instrument of God's peace, Guide us, Lord, and taking up our
23:40
responsibility to forge this new chapter of our nation's history,
23:47
let it be rooted in the recognition that for us, As for
23:50
every generation, unity triumphing over division is what
23:56
advances human dignity and liberty.
24:00
Let it be propelled by the women and men elected to serve in
24:05
public life who know that service is the mark of true
24:09
leadership. And let this new chapter of our
24:15
nation's history be filled with overwhelming hope, a hope that
24:20
refuses to narrow our national vision, but rather, as Pope
24:24
Francis has said, to dream dreams and see visions of what,
24:29
by your grace, our world can become.
24:34
We ask all of this trusting in your ever Provident care for us.
24:41
Amen. OK, so we all listen to this.
24:44
This was Cardinal Kupich's Inco invocation at the Democratic
24:47
National Convention just yesterday.
24:50
And you know, there's a lot of words in here, and there's some
24:52
beautiful expressions of piety in here.
24:54
Like, Lord, we want to be effectively instruments of your
24:56
peace and things like this. There's a prayer against war in
24:59
here, which is good. We don't want war.
25:01
We should pray for peace. What is not in here?
25:06
And I'm just going to call out Cardinal Kupich for this.
25:08
With all respect, as a daughter of the Church, there is not a
25:11
moment of realization in here about what is actually happening
25:15
at the DNC. Imagine going to a ritualistic
25:19
sacrifice of infants and being asked to do a prayer and not not
25:24
performing an exorcism. There's no.
25:28
Exorcism. In here, there's flowery
25:30
language about unity and standing up and not fearing
25:33
other people. There's nothing in here about
25:38
the innocent 25 children who were being murdered outside the
25:41
doors as he prayed. It is an absolute travesty that
25:48
our shepherds are not shepherding and souls will go to
25:51
hell if our shepherds don't shepherd.
25:53
OK? And so I pray for their courage
25:57
and their moral clarity. But that's not what happened
25:59
here. We saw flowery prayers that
26:02
wouldn't offend anybody and a generalized prayer against war,
26:05
and not a shred of realization or recognition about what was
26:08
actually happening in that moment, which was the literal
26:11
blood sacrifice of infants outside the door.
26:13
This is unacceptable coming from shepherds of the church.
26:18
I want to show the next invocation from the RNC.
26:22
This happened, of course, a few weeks ago, and this was the
26:26
priest that was invited to give the invocation at the Republican
26:29
National Convention. And let us pray, Lord, we thank
26:38
you for our nation. Our founding fathers held the
26:42
truth self-evident that all are created equal, endowed by their
26:48
Creator with certain unalienable rights, including life, liberty
26:54
and the pursuit of happiness. For 248 years, we have sustained
27:00
this vision to guard the dignity of every life from conception to
27:05
natural death, to protect their liberty especially, to speak
27:10
freely and to worship you, and to support their pursuit of
27:14
happiness through this life to the next.
27:19
We pray that you assist our elected officials and candidates
27:25
always to protect our freedoms, to preserve our democracy, and
27:30
to govern fairly. Grant them the wisdom every day
27:34
to place the good of our nation above personal interests and to
27:39
cherish our union. Teach us all to respect justice
27:44
and our equality before the law. Lord, protect our military.
27:51
Teach us gratitude that we may never forget their selfless
27:55
sacrifice and protect also our first responders, police,
28:00
firefighters and EMTs, for their bravery too gives us peace.
28:07
There is a sacrifice that all Americans make to participate in
28:11
the political process. We ask you to receive his
28:16
servant, Corey Compentadier, and we pray for those who were
28:21
injured, demonstrating their commitment to our democratic
28:26
process. Let us offer a moment of silence
28:41
in the words of George Washington.
28:43
Almighty God, keep the United States of America in thy holy
28:48
protection and incline the hearts of the citizens to a
28:52
brotherly affection and love for one another through Jesus Christ
28:57
our Lord. Amen.
29:02
I like that he ended the prayer with through Jesus Christ our
29:04
Lord that was missing in Archbishop Kupich's prayer.
29:08
But listen, I'm not here to quibble with the fine details of
29:12
the prayer, except to say this was Archbishop Jerome Listecki,
29:16
who led the opening prayer at the RNC.
29:18
Of course, it was Cardinal Kupich of Chicago that led it at
29:20
the DNC. We just listened to both those
29:21
prayers, and you'll notice that there was a reference to life,
29:26
the right to life, in Archbishop Listecki's prayer.
29:30
I thought that's nice. But again, at the even at the
29:35
RNC, abortion wasn't mentioned. There were no abortions being
29:37
performed outside, thanks be to God.
29:39
But unfortunately, they did change the platform at the RNC
29:42
to soften it on life, to say that some abortions might be
29:46
acceptable provided that the states vote on it and want it.
29:49
Saying that basically it's not an absolute right to life and
29:51
that it's up for the states to to to vote on who lives or dies
29:55
when it comes to abortion. So I think this was a missed
29:58
opportunity too, with all respect to our Good Shepherd,
30:01
Archbishop Jerome Mustecki, but it was also a missed
30:04
opportunity. We are living in the middle of
30:07
the greatest human rights crisis in American history because
30:11
there are almost 3000 children killed every single day by
30:14
abortion legally in this country. 3000 human beings.
30:18
Killed. This eclipses the death toll,
30:20
eclipses any other human rights struggle that has happened in
30:23
this country. Or happens globally.
30:26
The death toll of abortion, It's the leading cause of death.
30:29
And the victims are our children, the most vulnerable.
30:33
And instead of being protected and and cared for and loved,
30:36
they are thrown away like trash. That's what's happening.
30:40
And it's happening in our communities, by our churches, by
30:42
our schools. It's happening all across this
30:44
country. This should have been front and
30:47
center. This should have been at minimum
30:49
if you're going to pray for an end to war.
30:52
If you're going to pray for the protection of the military, if
30:54
you're going to get specific in your prayer, it's one thing if
30:56
the prayer is just a Bible verse and they they just said a Bible
30:58
verse, but this is an opportunity you have a national
31:00
platform to set the stage. For a whole political party in
31:04
the direction that they're veering right, this was an
31:07
opportunity. And Cardinal Kupich completely
31:10
blew it, refused to acknowledge the the the literal blood
31:13
sacrifice happening outside the walls.
31:16
And here Archbishop Lestucky, that there is nothing specific
31:19
calling for an end to the violence against children.
31:22
I don't understand how we can talk about the victims of a
31:26
shooting or talk about our Armed Services and caring for our
31:30
military and their protection and not have a word or a thought
31:34
about the greatest death toll of them all, which is the death
31:37
toll of children killed by abortion.
31:40
So may we have a huge awakening, especially among the church and
31:46
people of faith, to the reality of what is happening to God's
31:49
children because these are God's children.
31:50
They're not our children and they have been entrusted to us
31:54
and to this country and how we treat them is the definition of
31:57
who we are. This should be front and center.
32:02
I want to wrap up here, guys, because there's a lot, a lot
32:04
going here, going on here. And we, we've got to, we've got
32:07
to wrap soon. But I do want to talk about two
32:09
other quick things because I did share at length about what's
32:12
happening at the DNC with regard to abortion.
32:15
As I said, the RNC rarely mentioned it.
32:18
They did change their platform to soften it.
32:20
I do want to just note something though.
32:22
Vice President JD Vance is a Catholic.
32:25
From my understanding, he's a Catholic convert.
32:26
He actually entered the Catholic faith.
32:28
He wouldn't. Grow up in the faith.
32:30
I think that's a beautiful thing.
32:31
I encourage anybody entering or wanting to enter the faith.
32:34
I know it's a journey. I'm sure JD Vance is on a
32:36
journey. I pray for him.
32:38
I pray for all of the candidates.
32:40
It is our responsibility to pray for all of the candidates.
32:42
But I need to share that for whatever reason, and I think the
32:46
reason is clearly political, JD Vance has decided to come out
32:50
and say that he supports chemical abortions.
32:53
Let's play this clip. So at his press for this past
33:03
week, Donald Trump seemed to indicate he was open to
33:06
restrictions on method person. He was asked by a reporter about
33:09
this and he said there are many things on a humane basis that
33:13
you can do but also give a vote. So he did seem to be indicating
33:18
he's open to restrictions on this particular drug.
33:21
Look, I think what he said, are you saying that's wrong?
33:23
Well, I think what he said, Margaret, is, first of all, even
33:26
some of the reporters who were in the room in that press
33:28
conference said it wasn't clear what the reporter was asking.
33:31
Maybe he couldn't hear that person super clearly.
33:33
So I don't want to put words in President Trump's mouth.
33:35
What he has said very clearly in the debate is that he agrees
33:38
with the Supreme Court decision, but more importantly, he wants
33:41
these decisions to be made by the states.
33:43
I think that is the President Trump vision for the Republican
33:45
Party because you personally signed on as the senator to a
33:49
letter to the DOJ demanding it shut down all mail order
33:53
abortion operations under the Comstock Act.
33:57
So would you seek to enforce that law differently?
34:01
Well, we said in that letter, Margaret, is that we want
34:03
doctors to prescribe this stuff to ensure that it's safe.
34:05
And we do this with antibiotics. We do this with a lot of
34:08
presents. And we, we just want the FDA to
34:11
make sure that doctors are prescribing this in a Safeway.
34:14
That's all that we ever said. And I, I believe that that is
34:18
how President Trump feels about this is, again, you want the
34:21
states to make these determinations.
34:23
You also want to make sure the FDA is ensuring that these
34:25
medications are safe for anybody who's taken them.
34:27
It's been on the market for decades.
34:29
And the FDA does say it is safe, but would where an antibiotic,
34:33
Margaret, antibiotics are safe, but we want to make sure they're
34:36
prescribed by doctors and the doctors are properly monitoring
34:39
and stuff so that people don't get hurt.
34:40
And of course, we've talked now I think for six questions about
34:44
abortion. I'm still trying to get a clear
34:46
answer. So for I gave you a commissioner
34:48
that you would be part of choosing where that commissioner
34:51
stands on this drug. Would that determine whether or
34:55
not they are chosen to be put in this key role?
34:58
I think President Trump has clearly said there are no litmus
35:01
tests on this particular issue. He just wants to make sure that
35:04
drugs are safe and effective before they're out there in the
35:06
market and of course, that doctors are properly controlling
35:09
the stuff so that people don't get hurt.
35:11
And, and again, Margaret, I mean, we talk about abortion.
35:14
I think President Trump's views on abortion are extremely clear.
35:18
What's interesting, of course, is that President Trump is
35:20
trying to find some common ground on this issue.
35:23
And you have Democrats who have supported abortion right up to
35:26
the moment and sometimes even beyond the moment of birth,
35:29
which is just sick stuff. And I think it's such a
35:32
contract. It is accurate.
35:34
In fact, the Born Alive Act, multiple members of the current
35:37
Democratic administration, including our vice president,
35:40
supported that legislation. They've supported taxpayer fund
35:43
that abortions up to the moment of birth.
35:45
I just think it's bizarre. And you contrast it to Donald
35:48
Trump, who's trying to find some common ground on this issue.
35:51
What he's trying to actually, he's saying send it back to the
35:53
states so he doesn't have to stake out the position the
35:56
states so that the states work. That's an important part of our
35:58
federal process, is that states sometimes are going to make
36:01
these decisions for themselves. And I think that's how you find
36:04
some common ground. But on that, you were saying
36:06
both that it should be doctors who determine the safety of a
36:08
drug, but also that states should determine the
36:11
availability of that drug. Do I have that right?
36:13
States are going to determine their abortion policy and of
36:16
course doctors are going to, if 60% are through medication
36:19
abortion, it brings us back to the pill that that's why I was
36:21
asking you that. Well, but again, states are
36:24
going to make these decisions. I'm, I'm actually confused a
36:26
little bit by the question, Margaret, because if, if
36:28
Alabama, let's say, is going to have a different abortion policy
36:31
from California, that's not inconsistent with then saying
36:34
doctors are going to have to prescribe this stuff, whatever
36:36
the individual policy of the state is.
36:38
I'm, I'm not sure what the confusion is there.
36:41
I don't know. President Trump said there are
36:42
some humane things that could be done in addition to, again, in a
36:46
in a loud room where he couldn't hear the question super well.
36:48
But I think his view on this has been very clear and I've just
36:50
articulated it. We want to clarify what Senator
36:53
Vance said about the Born alive. All right, so you can hear JD
36:59
Vancey's trying to dodge, he's getting pummeled by this
37:01
reporter who's trying to get him to say that he supports banning
37:06
abortion pills because that is the pro-life position.
37:09
You should be against making these lethal drugs on the
37:12
market. It is insane that we have
37:14
abortion pills being sent via mail right now.
37:17
You can order them. If you're a sexual abuser of a
37:19
young girl, you can order a pill online and it can show up at the
37:21
door and you can force this little girl to take it.
37:23
I mean, that has happened. A boyfriend's putting a pills in
37:26
girlfriend's drugs cups to try to force abortions and what they
37:32
the correct answer should be no, we need to fight for life, stand
37:36
for life, and these lethal drugs should not be on the market.
37:38
These lethal drugs should not be on the market.
37:41
But what you're hearing instead is the position of the.
37:43
Unfortunately, this new kind of compromise position that the
37:47
Republican side is taking, Trump's campaign is taking is
37:51
saying, well, we're going to let the states decide and we're
37:53
going to not stop the abortion pills from being used.
37:59
I mean, that's up to the states if they want to do it and they
38:01
it's fine for them to be used. And I think the point here is we
38:05
no abortion pill, no lethal drug designed to kill a baby is
38:09
medication, is actual medicine. It's designed to kill.
38:11
Medicine should be designed to heal.
38:13
And so the correct answer should should be.
38:15
We should not allow these. Drugs in the.
38:16
Market. These should not be on the
38:18
market. That should be the correct
38:19
answer. We should fight for life.
38:21
We should stand boldly for life. And unfortunately, we're not
38:23
seeing that. And it's completely
38:25
heartbreaking that we see the softening from the Republican
38:30
side. This is an opportunity.
38:31
You know, if I could be giving campaign advice right now to the
38:34
Trump campaign, this is an opportunity.
38:36
Look at the extremism on the left right now.
38:39
Look at the extremism at the DNC.
38:41
Now's the time to say this is insane.
38:43
We need to fight for life. Children's lives matter.
38:45
We need to fight for families and we're not going to.
38:47
Put up with this. But instead, we see the language
38:50
of compromise and the language of let states decide and figure
38:53
it out because we're going to basically wash your hands of
38:56
this. And I think that is not a
38:59
motivating message for the base. I know a lot of people who are
39:02
pro-life are concerned and and quite frankly, disappointed
39:06
about the fact that there's a softening on the right right now
39:11
among former pro-life champions. There's one more clip I need to
39:15
share with you, though, about from JD Vance talking about
39:19
abortion pills. So that kind of shares with you
39:21
how he's trying to message on this.
39:23
I mean, he maybe feels like he's between a rock and a hard place
39:26
because the Trump administration wants to soften on abortion.
39:29
He's a Catholic, he should be pro-life.
39:30
There's one more clip we're going to play here.
39:32
I'm going to, if you can, you pull this up, Frank, it just
39:35
came through. OK perfect.
39:36
Let's let's play this clip next. On the question of the abortion
39:41
pill, what so many of us have said is that look, we, we
39:44
certainly don't. The Supreme Court made a
39:46
decision saying that the American people should have
39:50
access to that medication. Donald Trump has supported that
39:53
opinion. I support that opinion.
39:55
I think it's important to say that we we actually have to have
39:59
an important conversation in this country about what are
40:02
abortion. You can pause it right there.
40:04
So this is this is the fruit of the waffling from JD Vance.
40:08
It's totally tragic the the Supreme Court has decided that
40:12
Americans should have access to the pill.
40:15
They should have the right to access the pill.
40:17
Ultimately, if they make that decision, they they want that
40:20
Donald Trump supports that and I.
40:21
Support that why I, I just, I just, I'm I'm so saddened to see
40:29
this, quite frankly, from someone who has formerly
40:32
professed the pro-life position. And it's not necessary.
40:35
I mean, it's not principled. And I don't think even on a
40:38
political standpoint, anything unprincipled, I don't think is
40:42
actually necessary. I think you need to stand by the
40:44
truth regardless of whether you're running for office.
40:47
But if you're running for office and you want to win, you want to
40:50
galvanized pro family, pro-life people, this is not the way.
40:54
This is not the way to show that you're different than the
40:55
Democrats by saying, yeah, we support access to abortion
40:58
pills, abortion pills which kill almost 60% of children killed by
41:01
abortion in this country. So it's deeply disappointing to
41:05
see this from JD Vance. I hope that he changes course on
41:08
this. I hope that President Trump
41:10
changes course on this. And of course, I hope as well
41:13
that Kamala Harris has a conversion, that Governor Tim
41:16
Walls has a conversion. Let's pray for the conversion of
41:18
all of them. And I'm going to close, close us
41:20
here because we are dealing with, we're dealing with evils
41:24
here. And as voters, sometimes we have
41:26
to choose the lesser of two evils and vote our conscience in
41:29
the voting booth. But I'm going to pray for the
41:33
best way, which would be conversion daily conversion for
41:36
all of us, and conversion for our shepherds, for our bishops,
41:38
for our leaders, our pastors, and conversion for our political
41:42
candidates. And so in the spirit of that, I
41:45
want to end us with a prayer. Some of you might be familiar
41:48
with the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.
41:50
And this is a very beautiful prayer that the church has given
41:54
to us through Saints. Actually, it's an incredible,
41:56
we're not going to get into the history of the, of the Chaplet,
41:58
but St. Faustina is a beautiful St. that
42:02
I love. And this is a beautiful prayer
42:04
that she gave us, that she was given by God to give us and
42:07
share with us. And it's about praying for
42:09
mercy. It's a prayer of repentance and
42:12
it's a prayer for mercy on this country.
42:15
And so I'm going to just pray one decade of the Chaplet of
42:18
Divine Mercy. You basically have it's like a
42:22
rosary. You have 5 decades, each has 10
42:24
beads, but there's ten small prayers that you pray.
42:26
And this meditation helps us again ask God for mercy and it.
42:31
