#129 Zuck Admits to Censorship Pressure, RFK Endorses Trump, Kamala's Awkward Interview

Hey everyone! Welcome to another episode of Chatting with Candice. This week, I'm flying solo and diving into some of the most talked-about topics right now. I share my thoughts on RFK's surprising endorsement of Trump and what that could mean moving forward. We'll also explore how Trump's approach seems to be evolving, especially with Tulsi Gabbard on his team. I get into some hot-button issues like states' rights in the abortion debate and why I think Trump’s stance on IVF subsidies is so important. Plus, I discuss Mark Zuckerberg’s recent admission about censorship during the pandemic and what that means for free speech. And if that’s not enough, there’s a deep dive into the rise of deepfake crimes in South Korea.

0 (0s): Hello everybody. You are listening or watching chatting with Candace. I'm your host Candice Horbacz. Before we jump into the episode, As, always make sure you hit that like and subscribe button please and thank you This week. We have a solo episode. Biggest piece of news is RFK officially dropped out and is now endorsing the Trump campaign, which I feel like if you go through my Twitter from at least a year ago, I was saying this needs to happen. I just wish he was a running mate. That is the only thing that could be better. Recently I had Chase Geiser on the episode and we went into this long thing where he thought that RFK was a CIA plant and he was purposely placed there to steal the votes from Trump in order to make sure that the Biden Harris are now just the Harris team won. 0 (45s): And he made this really long thread on H that he was admittedly wrong and how this is a great thing and this is, I think it's gonna be a slam dunk now. So I'm excited about it. And I think that it shows a huge shift in Trump recently. Like him or not, it's undeniable that something has changed. He has Tulsi Gabbard advising him and helping him with the debate. She's obviously amazing and I think he's not really known for taking advice. He kind of does his own thing, which is a, can be a really good thing, but it can also be a bit of an Achilles heel. So that shows a big shift. And then how welcoming he was to RFK and having him on stage and there's gonna be a place for him in the cabinet also just shows that he's much more of a team player I think. 0 (1m 25s): So I'm really excited about this. I would love to see where it goes. They suggested starting a unity party, which would work on three key issues. One would be ending the FDA corruption and chronic disease epidemic from chemicals in our food. I'm all for that ending the war in Ukraine. Instead using that funding, which is currently $200 billion, I think we could use that at home. What do you think? And three end Censorship as the people who were censoring throughout history have never been the good guys, says RF K's running mate, Nicole Shanahan. I completely agree. So we had the FDA that is responding to RFKs claim that 50% of the FDA's budget comes from pharma companies and not taxpayers. 0 (2m 7s): Let's see what their responses to this crazy claim. This figure is not accurate as industry users fees only make up about 47% of the FDA's total agency budget. It is important to note that food color additives fall under the foods program. 'cause we know that food coloring additives have no neurological effect on people and children and their behavior and attention and what we call attention deficit. Now what do you think? Do you want that stuff in your food or in your kids' food? 1 (2m 43s): Is your favorite president Donald J. Trump with some very exciting news by popular demand? I'm doing a new series of Trump digital trading cars. You all know what they are. We've had a lot of fun with 'em. It's called the America First Collection 50, all new stunning digital trading cards. It's really something. These cards show me dancing and even me holding some bitcoins. Here's the best part, I'm doing great things for my Trump digital card collectors. First, there's the real physical Trump cards purchase 15 or more of my Trump digital trading cards and we'll mail you a beautiful physical trading card. It's really, I think, quite something. 1 (3m 25s): Each physical trading card has an authentic piece of my suit that I wore for the presidential debate and people are calling it the knockout suit. I don't know about that, but that's what they're calling it. So we'll cut up the knockout suit and you're going to get a piece of it and we'll be randomly autographing, five of them a true collectors item. This is something to give your family, your kids, your grandchildren. Number two is to purchase 75 of my Trump digital trading cards and you will also be invited to join me for a gala dinner at my beautiful country club in Jupiter, Florida. We really have tremendous dinners with my collectors, have a lot of fun together, we're gonna have a good time. 1 (4m 7s): I'm keeping my Trump digital trading cards at the same price of $99 each. We've done that right from the beginning. So go to collect trump cards.com. It's really easy to buy. You just need an email address and a credit card or crypto. You know, they call me the crypto president. I don't know if that's true or not, but a lot of people are saying that's great. So don't miss out. Go to collect trump cards.com, go right now and collect your piece of American history. Let's have fun together and enjoy my Trump cards. We're gonna have a lot of fun. We'll be talking about it for a long time. Thank you very much. Have a good time. 2 (4m 44s): Let the begin. 0 (4m 49s): How do you not like that guy? That is hilarious. Somehow he has been labeled the crypto president and I love that you can just say, oh, they're calling me this. I don't, I don't know about that. But that's what they're saying. And you can just like make these claims about yourself as if you're not making claims about yourself. I think it's beautiful. He does seem very bullish on Bitcoin, which is awesome. That's a really big community and I think that a lot of us are looking for sovereignty when it comes to currency. So a lot of people are politicizing cryptocurrency and we'll see who ends up being the most crypto friendly I think. Without question, it's going to be the Trump political party. They're gonna be the ones that are protecting your Bitcoin. 0 (5m 29s): This is great. So the Nel Boys go undercover as a Harris supporter and place campaign signs in front of people's houses. This woman's response is hysterical. 3 (5m 41s): Hi. Hello there. Hi. I work for the Harris and Waltz campaign. I want to take it off. Take it off? No, I'm gonna leave it there 'cause no, you're not gonna leave it there. Oh, why? Because I can't stand them. Do you not support tampons in men's bathrooms? No, I don't support tampons in men's bathrooms. Why? Because tampons are for women. Where are they gonna stick it up their ass? Get it the fuck outta here. Get it outta my property. It looks good there though. Wait, don't hurt. Don't touch my sign. That's my sign. I don't give a shit. There're a bunch of fucking communists. You didn't address me by my pronouns. What are you? He she fucking transgender. What? You are. I'm two Spirit. 0 (6m 16s): Oh no, that's funny. But she is also very angry. I'm not a a Harris fan. I think that's well established, but I would not, I wouldn't yell like that. Ooh, let's look at the rules for the September 10th debate. 4 (6m 33s): Former President Donald Trump has just announced that despite hedging and saying that he potentially may skip it, he does plan to go ahead with a debate with Vice President Kamala Harris just two weeks from today. 5 (6m 45s): He made this official just moments ago posting on true social that he has reached an agreement to face off with Harris in their first head-to-head debate on September 10th on a BC. And for more on this, let's bring in CNN's Kristin Holmes. Kristin, tell us what you're learning. 0 (6m 59s): He calls her comrade Harris. Well, 6 (7m 1s): Brianna, what we are told is that this impasse between the Harris and Trump campaign appears to be over. And the big remember issue that both sides were having was over whether or not the mics would be muted. In that first debate that Donald Trump did on with, excuse me, on CNN, they essentially had agreed to muting the mikes while the other candidate was talking. Donald Trump's team thought that that worked out well for him. Well then we heard from Harris's team saying they didn't actually want those mics muted. So this has led to a sort of impasse. They were not happy with it. Donald Trump's team said they wanted the CNN rules. Now they are saying that they have come to an agreement with Kamala Harris and that it's going to be broadcast on a b, C rules as we know the rules will be the same as the last CNN debate. 6 (7m 47s): This is what Donald Trump is saying, which seemed to work out well for everyone except Joe Biden. And then it says the debate will be standup, meaning they won't be seated. The candidates cannot bring notes or quote cheat sheets. We've also been given assurance by a BC that this will be a fair and equitable debate and that neither side will be given the questions in advance. I did call a senior advisor after Donald Trump put this out to make sure about this issue on muting the mics. They said Yes, it does mean that the mics will be muted while the other candidate is speaking. So this would be a win for Donald Trump's team here. 0 (8m 23s): I think that is gonna work out really well for Donald Trump because I think the biggest thing that gets him into trouble is him. So if he learns to not talk over her, especially because she's a woman, it's gonna just be used against him. So it's better for him to be polite during the debate, not do personal attacks. I think don't focus on like any of the race stuff, it's just I don't find it to be any helpful. So I think he right now is his biggest threat to the presidency. So if he can just kind of rein it in and stay calm and let her talk. If she's gonna talk in circles and she's gonna talk about coconuts and falling from coconut trees and time is space and space and time and just let her do her thing. 0 (9m 3s): Donald Kamala Harris, her latest interview, blames Trump for the border wall security failure despite being VP for three and a half years. 8 (9m 14s): Her issue big one is immigration. As vice president, you were tasked with addressing the root causes of migration in southern countries and 7 (9m 25s): Northern part of Central America, 8 (9m 26s): The northern part of of, of, of Central America that deals with that affects the southern border of the us. During the Biden Harris administration, there were record numbers of illegal border crossings. Why did the Biden Harris administration wait three and a half years to implement sweeping asylum restrictions? 7 (9m 45s): Well first of all, the root causes work that I did as vice president that I was asked to do by the president has actually resulted in a number of benefits including historic investments by American businesses in that region. The number of immigrants coming from that region has actually reduced since we began that work. But I will say this, that Joe Biden and I and our administration worked with members of the United States Congress on an immigration issue that is very significant to the American people and to our security, which is the border. And through bipartisan work, including some of the most conservative members of the United States Congress, a bill was crafted, which we supported, which I support and Donald Trump God word of this bill that would've contributed to securing our border. 7 (10m 40s): And because he believes that it would not have helped him politically. He told his folks in Congress don't put it forward, he killed the bill. 0 (10m 52s): Hmm. Even if that was true, even if it was true that Trump squashed a bill, she's been in office for three and a half years. So how exactly is that still his fault? Kamala does not regret lying about Biden's mental decline. Ooh, this is juicy. Let's look at this. 8 (11m 9s): Vice President Harris, you were a very staunch defender of President Biden's capacity to serve another four years. Right after the debate you insisted that President Biden is extraordinarily strong, given where we are now, do you have any regrets about what you told the American people? 7 (11m 25s): No, not at all. Not at all. I have served with President Biden for almost four years now and I'll tell you it's one of the greatest honors of my career. Truly. He cares so deeply about the American people. He is so smart and and loyal to the American people. And I have spent hours upon hours with him, be it in the Oval office or the situation room. He has the intelligence, the commitment, and the judgment and disposition that I think the American people rightly deserve in their president 0 (12m 7s): The disposition. And he's so sharp, sharpest guy in the room. How much more can you gaslight the people? Oh, Trump says a nuclear disaster is a problem, not global warming. 9 (12m 18s): I'd like to go to Russia, Ukraine. Yeah, that's a major concern of a lot of Americans. We've sent over $175 billion we've seen plus no progress. And so I think a lot of people want to know when you get into office, if you get into office, will you be able to sit zelensky and Putin down? Yeah. And have them negotiate a deal so that we can spend the next $175 billion on our own infrastructure. 1 (12m 44s): So let me tell you, two countries should have never happened. It would've never ever happened. And it didn't happen for four years. There was no talk about Russia going in. I knew Putin very well. I got along with him actually. Great. That's a good thing. Not a bad thing by the way. You know, people say, oh he got along with, with the stupid press, they go, some of the stupid press, some of the press is not stupid at all. But they say he got along with Putin. That's a terrible thing. He said, no, no, that's a good thing. He's got 1800 nuclear weapons. So do we. The biggest risk today, you know when I hear these poor fools talking about global warming, they don't call it that anymore. They call it climate change because you know, some parts of the planet are cooling and warming. It didn't work. So they finally got it right. 1 (13m 24s): They call it climate change. They used to call it global warming. You know, years ago they used to call it global cooling. In the 1920s they thought the planet was gonna freeze. Now they think the planet's gonna burn up and we're still waiting for the 12 years. You know, we're down almost to the end of the 12 year period. You understand that? Where these lunatics that know nothing, they weren't even good students at school. They didn't even study it. They predict. They said we have 12 years to live and people didn't have babies because they said we only have another. No, no, it's so crazy. But the problem isn't the fact that the oceans in 500 years, we'll raise a quarter of an inch. The problem is nuclear weapons. 1 (14m 5s): It's nuclear warming. The level of power of the nuclear weapon. Today you take a look, go back many, many decades and look at Hiroshima Nagasaki, that was so many years ago. And now you look at today and multiply that, what took place there by 300 or 400 times is that, and that's the problem. That's the biggest risk today. Now with our country, the biggest risk is that always that, always that. But we also have some very bad people. You know, you have crazy Nancy Pelosi and all these lunatics within our government. They're lunatics and, and it's a real problem. 1 (14m 47s): The biggest problem we have and the world has is weaponry. Weaponry of other kinds too. Not just nuclear but nuclear. What kind of weaponry. But nuclear weapons are so massive and so powerful and so destructive. And these poor fools talk about global warming all the time. You know the planet's gonna get, it's gonna global warm to a point where the oceans will rise. 0 (15m 9s): Yeah, I think the biggest takeaway from that for me is that we need to be focusing on the immediate threats, the immediate issues. Even back to that clip that we shared with the N Boys. It's funny, but how mad that woman was about trans stuff and bathrooms and tampons and bathrooms. That doesn't mean anything like that Is that is the distraction and is the distraction from a potential World War ii. It's like, hey look at this inflammatory thing over here that's gonna get you enraged and don't focus on the thing we're actually trying to steal or the dangers that are knocking on your doorstep. So don't get distracted. I think just don't get distracted by like climate change and the world is gonna end and catch on fire and there's tampons in boys bathrooms. 0 (15m 52s): That's not important. What is important is that most people are really struggling to pay their bills right now. They can't put food on the table. The food that they're putting on their table is poison and the whole world might be in war because we have a giant military industrial complex that is in hungry ghosts and doesn't get enough. So yeah, maybe focus on bigger, more pressing issues. In other news we've got Zuck News Zuckerberg. He's been doing a really successful rebrand and everyone has been noticing. In a recent letter to the house judiciary committee chairman Jim Jordan met CEO Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged that his company was under pressure from the Biden administration. He made decisions to censor certain content, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. 0 (16m 35s): Zuckerberg expressed regret for not being more vocal against this pressure and admitted that meta demoted content such as the Height Hunter Biden laptop story due to government influence as the FBI claimed it was Russian propaganda. While he maintained that A, that the final Censorship decision were made by meta, he pressed the government's pressure, played a significant role. The admission has been celebrated by Republicans concluding Jim Jordan as a victory for free speech while the White House defended its actions as necessary due to the pandemic to protect public health. That is what you wanna be terrified of is the government saying that they are there to protect you and to help you because they are not. And all they're trying to do is make you less capable and them more powerful. 0 (17m 17s): So if someone is trying to restrict any of your freedoms for the sake of safety, you don't deserve it. If you allow it and that's not the reason that they're doing it and you'll never get it back. So immediately you should have your ears perk up and say this is bullshit and absolutely not. 10 (17m 33s): We have example after example of this administration coordinated apparently according to a federal court by your agency pressuring, coercing social media companies to engage in Censorship. Is that constitutional that is 11 (17m 48s): Unequivocally false 10 (17m 50s): Is what the emails show. 11 (17m 52s): It is unequivocally false. Senator, 10 (17m 54s): You are not pressuring the big tech companies to take down accounts. You are not meeting with them to ask them to censor on your behalf. 11 (18m 1s): That is correct. We are not. 10 (18m 2s): Here's my point Mr. Secretary. It has been established for years in this country as you very well know 'cause you're a lawyer, that the federal government may not use private third parties to engage in activities that are unconstitutional. That's exactly what you and this administration are doing. You are leveraging private companies to carry out Censorship on your behalf. It's dystopian but worse than that it's unconstitutional. 11 (18m 27s): It sounds so false. 12 (18m 29s): Turn now to a story breaking overnight. Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg claims he was pressured by the White House to censor content related to COVID-19 during the pandemic. Aaron Erky joins us now with details. Aaron, good morning. 13 (18m 40s): Good morning to you Whit. For years critics have taken aim at Facebook for silencing views that challenge the general consensus in the medical community, especially about the origin of COVID-19. Now, Facebook's founder, surprisingly says they're right. This morning, me Chief Mark Zuckerberg admitting he bowed to pressure from the Biden administration to censor content. The Facebook founder issuing a letter to the House Judiciary committee that said senior administration officials pushed the social media platform to censor posts about COVID-19. And expressed a lot of frustration when the company resisted Zuckerberg saying, I believe the government pressure was wrong. And I regret that we were not more outspoken about it adding, I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards due to pressure from any administration in either direction. 13 (19m 26s): And we're ready to push back if something like this happens again. House Judiciary committee chairman Jim Jordan celebrating the letter, calling it a big win for free speech that 0 (19m 35s): Was 2024. What is the difference between a conspiracy theory and the truth about 18 months? My question is why aren't these people behind bars? So you go to jail if you pick the wrong mushroom and you wanna sell that mushroom or you want to eat that mushroom. But you can lie to the American people, you can stifle free speech, you can tread on the Constitution and that's okay. Nothing for you lie to the people. Perjury. It doesn't, isn't perjury supposed to be taken seriously? Like if you're a civilian and you get caught as a like what would as a perjure, whatever the word would be like, isn't that jail time? So this is, this was just in Zuckerberg regrets working with the Biden Harris administration to censor COVID information. 0 (20m 22s): I hope this is true. I hope that he really has a newfound love for freedom. He seems to be pretty supportive of Trump. He was saying that that photo of him getting off of the stage when he had blood on his face and then flag behind him was the most badass thing that he's seen. I hope that this is true, especially with him being in charge of something so powerful like meta. It needs to be entirely unacceptable to have government interfering with private businesses and telling them that they need to be censoring the American people. That should not be okay, that should not be tolerated, that should not be accepted. And when that happens, I hope that more of these CEOs and whistleblowers will come forward and we can see what people are trying to do behind the scenes. 0 (21m 3s): And maybe that will help wake some people up. This is by Geiger Capital. Simply imagine if Zuckerberg had confessed that the Trump White House pressured his comp, his company to censor things that they didn't like. And then Trump had the C-I-A-F-B-I falsely claimed that the laptop story they knew was real was fake to help him win the election. It would be Watergate and it would be impeachment. This is true different rules for different administrations. Silly you, silly bird, 14 (21m 34s): Facebook and Instagram. New Mexico's attorney general is accusing the social media giant and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg of enabling child sex abuse and trafficking on its sites. CBS News, senior Business and technology correspondent Jolene Kent reports on the undercover investigation that used ai. 15 (21m 54s): It was shocking quite frankly to see the explosion of sexual interest in these in these kids almost immediately. 16 (22m 3s): New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torres says his investigation into meta found that Facebook and Instagram's algorithms created a marketplace for the sexual exploitation of children. The civil lawsuit alleges meta enabled adults to find message and groom minors soliciting them to sell pictures or participate in pornographic videos. Law enforcement set up an undercover operation using test accounts like this one showing AI generated photos of a fictional 13-year-old girl from Albuquerque. The complaint says a followers flooded the account with unsolicited messages filled with pictures and videos of genitalia, which she received 0 (22m 41s): At least three. So this person that made the tweet with the news story said, why aren't they arresting Zuckerberg for enabling this? That makes no sense to me whatsoever. He's not responsible for what people post. I think he is responsible for reporting anything that they find in order to try to protect these children and also find these monsters. It's interesting 'cause I recently did an episode where we talked to Layla McKelway and that got a lot of mixed feedback and I can't speak to her. There was some stuff that came out about her being an actress, I'm not really sure. But I do know is it doesn't matter. What matters is that we are protecting kids and we are finding the root of the sibel and we are trying to pluck it out. 0 (23m 25s): I don't think that a platform or especially the CEO or founder is responsible for what's on there, but they are again responsible for once they find it to report it and remove it. This is one of those problems that if you talk to anyone in the space, it is very hard. It is very hard to keep off of every platform. It's even harder to find out who's posting it because everything is so encrypted and if these kids are missing to be able to find them. And what's even worse is with developments and now there's a lot of AI content and some people were suggesting that as a solution that if AI content was allowed even, even if it was of minors, that that would somehow protect the kids. And it's actually false. 0 (24m 6s): If you talk to anyone in the field right now, the excess amount of AI content that is depicting children makes it so much harder for them to see what is AI content gen? What is AI generated content versus what is actual child exploitation content? Some of it is so hyperrealistic they can't tell and that's actually putting the kids in danger. So I do think that that material, even though it's AI generated, needs to be illegal in order to protect the children. I think that that it's a very hard no, even though it's not real. I think it's doing a lot of damage. But again, I don't think this is a Zuckerberg thing, I think it's an internet problem and it's a predator problem. And you can do things like donate to Operation Rescue Children ORC, I'll donate that below. 0 (24m 50s): Child Rescue Coalition is also great. They do a lot of work online and there are countless other operations, underground Railroad, like all of these things we will link in the description below. You can donate to these people that are making a really big difference. Moving on, we have South Korea sex ring deep fake porn. South Korean President y I'm probably really butchered that I apologize, called for an investigation into deep fake porn on Tuesday, August 27th. Media previously reported that the telegram chat rooms, including ones with over 220,000 members, were sharing explicit images of minors at school and universities and sparked public outrage online. 0 (25m 31s): Deep fake sex crimes have surged according to South Korean police. A total of 297 cases were reported in the first se seven months of the year up to 180 in the whole of last year and 160 in 2021. Teenagers were responsible for more than two thirds of the offenses over the past three years. The Korean Teachers Union meanwhile believes more than 200 schools have been affected in the latest string of incidences. The number of DeepFakes targeting teachers has surged in the past couple of years according to the Ministry of Education man. So basically these kids are making content of other kids and faculty. So two thirds of the content is actually made being made by minors. 0 (26m 14s): I don't know what you do with that. I think, like I just said in the clip before this without even knowing is that because the content is so re realistic, it's so hyperrealistic that it's actually doing a lot of damage and confusion in the space of actually finding real victims. It needs to just be illegal. Now I'm not saying to put a kid in jail because their brain's not done, but there does need to be a pretty severe and swift consequence for that. And if you're raising the type of kid that's doing this, like shame on you as a parent and pay attention. We are in the future folks. And it's getting weird. This is from Jeff Benjamin. I read about the shocking news that a telegram sex crime ring in South Korea was discovered with 220,000 male users. 0 (26m 55s): AI was used to Photoshop women's faces into porn. Students are even worried about going to school in case their likeness is caught and turns them into victims. But what's all more shocking is why when you look at the number of users and remember the country had just 230,000 births in 2023. Yeah. What do you do again? Like are you just putting all these kids in jail or there's like a bigger issue here If you are so quick to dehumanize somebody, especially a young, like a minor, that's gonna be shocking for them to see themselves in that kind of situation. So I think there needs to be a pretty swift and harsh punishment, but I'm not saying that like the kids need to go to jail for the rest of their life. 0 (27m 34s): That doesn't make sense. It's shocking that a telegram channel could get that big and that this wasn't discovered. We say encrypted but nothing is. You know, they broke into Tucker Carlson's phone on signal, so nothing's encrypted. We just pretend. So an account that big that is questionable as to why that wasn't shut down much sooner. Whoa. This is a map. They say a feminist in South Korea has mapped out schools where deep fake child abuse content was created by male students using photos of girls on Telegram. That's a lot of schools. Why is all the weird sex stuff in Asia always? Does anyone know the answer to that? You know what my solution is? Stop giving your kid a phone. 0 (28m 16s): Unbridled access to the internet. How about that? That's the thing that makes the most sense that most people have been saying. That seems pretty commonsensical and we're not doing stop giving your idiot kid access to powerful technology that they're a little brains are not ready for. And if you catch them messing up, then you correct that behavior immediately. Immediately. But to me that just shows a whole bunch of people that have zero empathy because they're not thinking about the other person. So you already messed up there and then they're again having access to a technology that is way beyond what they should. So yeah, take the fricking devices away and if you give it to 'em, monitor it. There's your workable solution. 0 (28m 56s): Amendment four to abortion laws in Florida and Trump standing up for women's reproductive rights. I haven't read this yet, we're about to read this. But you know what I'm gonna say? I have had this conversation with so many people and I really think Trump used to be, and probably still is a little bit more what you would call liberal. I'm not saying he's a Democrat, but I'm saying he has probably more opinions that are in the middle than they are on the hard right? Let's see what this says. But I, I'm not surprised why this at all. I'm a little bit surprised that it's public. But let's find out. Amendment foreign Florida proposes to enshrine a right to abortion in the state constitution, allowing the procedure up to fetal viability. 0 (29m 38s): Typically around 24 weeks. This amendment would overturn the current six week abortion ban that was implemented under Governor Ron DeSantis, former president Donald Trump has expressed that he finds six week ban to be too restrictive suggesting support for extending the abortion timeline but has not clearly stated how he will vote on amendment four. His stance contrasts with DeSantis who strongly opposes the amendment and supports the existing ban. That is fascinating. I think a lot of people were under the assumption that because of the Supreme Court ruling that Donald Trump is not for freedom in any way in that department. And I think what he was saying and what he was doing by putting those judges in is that he just firmly believes in state's rights. 0 (30m 25s): And I do too. I think that states should be allowed to decide what they wanna do. If you have one state that wants to be a little bit crazy with it, then you know that state is gonna have a different constitution than one that wants to be more conservative. In the topic of state's rights and making decisions like that, I do support state's rights, Ben Shapiro's Tweet. Democrats attempt to legalize abortion to the point of birth in Florida via amendment four is a disgrace. They are trying to enshrine abortion on demand into in the state constitution. Every Republican and moderate should oppose this. What I read is the 24 weeks. So if it's up, that's very, very, very different up until the point of birth. 0 (31m 6s): I'm not sure which one that is. I think to the point of birth is disgusting and that should never be allowed. This one I found really fascinating. Trump believes IVF should be fully subsidized by the government or insurance. 1 (31m 18s): I'm announcing today in a major statement that under the Trump administration your government will pay for or your insurance company will be mandated to pay for all costs associated with IVF treatment fertilization for women IVF treatment because we want more babies to put it very nicely. And for this same reason, we will also allow new parents to deduct major newborn expenses from their taxes so that parents that have a beautiful baby will be able. 1 (31m 59s): So we're pro-family. Nobody's ever said that before, but the IVF treatments are expensive. It's very hard for many people to do it and to get it. But I've been in favor of IVF right from the beginning. 0 (32m 14s): Fascinating. Well I'm all about the subsidies and helping out new families. I think we need to be encouraging things that are helping create new life and we see a significant decline in birth globally. But it is, it's getting to a point where it is a little bit scary and whether or not we'll have enough people to support the infrastructure is come into question. So we definitely need, definitely need more babies and if we can help people make that decision by subsidies, I think that's great. IVF is a very tricky topic 'cause it's very charged. I don't necessarily know where I fall in line with that. I think it's great. Chase Geyser was recently on and I think he changed my mind the most. 0 (32m 56s): We briefly talked about it on his episode and I was asking him his opinion on it and I, the way that he described it actually made sense. And it's just, we need more babies, we need more families, we need to be more pro-family and whatever way that we can do that is a good thing right now. So I support that. I support people that who want kids to be able to have kids and the insurance companies take enough money. So it's about time they contribute something. Unless you're allowed to kill your baby whenever you want. 7 (33m 26s): Friends, I believe America cannot truly be prosperous unless Americans are fully able to make their own decisions about their own lives, especially on matters of heart and home. But tonight in America, too many women are not able to make those decisions. And let's be clear about how we got here. Donald Trump handpicked members of the United States Supreme Court to take away reproductive freedom. 7 (34m 8s): And now he brags about it in his words quote, I did it and I'm proud to have done it. End quote. Well, I'll tell you, over the past two years I've traveled across our country and women have told me their stories. Husbands and fathers have shared theirs. Stories of women miscarrying in a parking lot, developing sepsis, losing the ability to ever again have children. All because doctors are afraid they may go to jail for caring for their patients. 7 (34m 50s): Couples just trying to grow their family cut off in the middle of IVF treatments. 0 (34m 56s): This is crazy because if you're gonna make these audacious claims, I wanna see some evidence. I don't think, I was talking to a girlfriend the other day at dinner and she was asking on the abortion topic, there is not a single state where you are forced to carry a baby to term if it's not viable, if the mother's health is at risk or if you have been assaulted. Not a single state. Not a single state. There are people out there that disagree with those things, but they're not, they're not the majority. So none of that is true. And then as you saw with the clip, he's very supportive of IVF and that being cut off, it's gonna be cut off for probably a reason that the people can't afford to pay pay it anymore. 0 (35m 38s): 'cause it's just wildly expensive. There's no one coming in and saying you can't do this. I think there was that case in Arkansas or Alabama where they are trying to change it to murder if something happens to the embryos. And that's a little bit crazy. The thing about the abortion topic that I find so fascinating is people are so attached to it, like it is the thing that is gonna make or break their decision as to who they're voting for. And if you were to ask most of these people that are like so supportive of it and like means so much to them, like have you ever had an abortion? Most of them are gonna say no. Do you ever see yourself having an abortion? Most of them are gonna say no. So then why is this something that you're, that is deciding who you vote for and who's gonna run the country. 0 (36m 18s): I don't understand why this is the thing that people are so obsessed with. Like the obsession of being able to have access to an abortion to me is just so weird. There are so many options. You can track your cycle and that you can do really, really accurately. Especially if you have a typ, a normal cycle, a normal like 28 ish day cycle and they have apps, then you've got condoms, then you've got birth control, then you've got plan B, you've got pullout, you have don't like, you have abstinence. Like there are so many options that prevent a pregnancy and the obsession around the topic is just bonkers to me. I think everything that we said in the couple clips before just shows that none of this is even true. 0 (37m 0s): He thinks six weeks is too early, so he's, we don't know how he's gonna vote. But he did say that he thinks that's too early. Again, I think he's just more for states rights. It has nothing to do with not allowing women access to an abortion period. It's, he just wanted states to make that decision for themself. And I think that they should, like California shouldn't be Texas and Texas shouldn't be California. Like the people that reside in that state should dictate the ecosystem in the environment. Their voice should be the thing that matters. You shouldn't have California deciding for the entire country what is right or wrong. And the same for Texas. You shouldn't have Texas deciding for the entire country, right? What is right or wrong? I think power belongs to the people. And that is, that shows through state's rights. 0 (37m 41s): And I think overreach happens when you say, I am so, so certain that my perspective is the only perspective that I'm going to pass laws in the land that every single state has to abide by and think that's dangerous. But let's end on a good note. This is a cute little boy getting a new heart. 18 (37m 58s): Happy for you. What? And a haircut. And a haircut. Oh, I didn't know you was saying fancy guy. A new Henry. Henry. A new Henry. Oh you not matching the, not matching the John Henry. Congratulations. Congratulations. Woohoo. Hey. Okay. A new yes. You still wanna go on an ice cream date? Yeah. Alright. 18 (38m 39s): I'm a new art. Yay. That's wonderful. That's good to see you. What flavor you want? What do you gonna tell her? Yeah. 0 (38m 55s): Oh. Oh my gosh. That little guy is so cute. I love a happy ending. Ah, if you want the water works, just give me clips with little, little babies like that and I can't stand it. Oh my gosh. I hope you enjoyed this episode.
