Trump's comments on abortion surprises both republicans and democrats

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
We're talking about a bunch of differentthings. Got a head to get to
this thing. Donald Trump went ontruth Social and there's only a four and
a half minute video. Thought aboutcutting it up for the audio. You
really just need to go watch thewhole thing if you really want to hear
it. But it's basically about abortionrights in the United States and legislation to

(00:25):
help people with fertility treatments that want. It four and a half minutes long,
and it's the former president just talkingabout this stuff. Abortion is that
thing that just I don't know ifthere is a more black and white issue,
like divisive issue. I don't knowif there's anything except maybe like experiencing

(00:53):
it yourself or being in that positionwhere you might think that you want an
abortion or you need an abortion,and maybe then you get help or you
get told or you have some experiencewith people, and then you don't have
the abortion. Maybe that's like theone way that you change your mind on
this stuff. But pretty much everybodyI know that is at all politically locked

(01:15):
in and has kind of a feelingabout like how politics are going and what
issues are most prevalent in our country. Abortions like the number one thing that
I just I never see people changetheir mind about Like, nobody ever changes
their mind. You either are oneway or the other way. And we

(01:37):
talk about this on our show,and we've had people on our show talking
about this where they've witnessed different things, or they've they have really strong faith,
or they know somebody who was thinkingabout it and then didn't, and
they use all that to say thatwe should just be banning it ourselves.

(01:57):
There should be absolutely zero abortion inour country. And obviously this all goes
back to Roe v. Wade andwhat that meant in the early seventies when
that happened. I don't think thatAnd this to me is it's difficult because
you want to know where people standon this stuff. But again, I
think former President Trump is an interestingcase study, not just on abortion,

(02:23):
but on a lot of different thingsbecause he was, you know, identified
with the Democratic Party in a lotof ways, even though he was not
directly involved in politics until the lastfifteen years or so. And then obviously
nobody really took him seriously as apolitician until he really started to put the

(02:44):
chips in the middle of the tablefor the twenty sixteen election cycle. That
was the summer of fifteen, aheadof the caucuses and primaries. And I
guess my thing is he's obviously seeminglyadjusted his viewpoints on this a few times.
But what he said today in hisvideo I think has got some Republicans

(03:06):
a little bit on edge, andthe Democrats also, I think are a
little confused as to why he wouldsay this out loud, because this kind
of goes against what we know aboutDonald Trump. He said today, and
I'll just take it right from whathe wrote in Truth Social that states should

(03:27):
have the ability to make their owndeterminations on this and it would be state
law. And what he said inthe video was the will of the people.
It's a really interesting conversation to have, especially when you talk about how
passionate people are on the subject.But the will of the people, I

(03:47):
mean, that's voting. It's votingin legislators that are going to make legislation.
That is the people like in Ohioand nov they voted on abortion and
basically said we want legal abortion upto twenty weeks I think it was,
and the people voted, and that'swhat they came to the determination for we

(04:10):
can see here all we want andsay that these people are out of their
mind and they shouldn't want to dothis because we don't agree with it.
But at some point we have tounderstand that this is America and the people
are going to vote the way thatthey want to vote, and isn't that
the way it was always supposed tobe. Even if there are more people
that maybe disagree with us than wethought there were, just pretending they don't

(04:30):
exist, and then trying to have, like our president overarching in the federal
level make all these rules. Itkind of goes against the whole conservative republicanism
thing. This is one of themore Republican things I think you could say
is the states should have the rightto do whatever they want, and that's
why the states are there, that'show this country was designed to be governed.
The federal government shouldn't have anything todo with this, and that again

(04:53):
puts the onus outside of the president'shands and puts it in the hands of
the people that we elect in ourstate and in our local jurisdictions, which
I have been on the record assaying, I think that should be more
important and is more important to ourdaily lives anyway, even though it's not
as sensational as voting for the president. So one of the posts that Donald

(05:14):
Trump made within the last couple ofhours about this said, by allowing the
states to make their decision and hopingthat most Republicans running for office will have
the sense, although they must alwaysfollow their heart, to require the exceptions
for rape incests and life of themother, we have taken the abortion issue
largely out of play. When theSupreme Court had the courage to do the
right thing legally and terminate Roe v. Wade. All of those people,

(05:36):
including Lindsay Graham and Marjorie Dana Felzerof Susan B. Anthony that were hardliners
one day after the victory, weregone and of absolutely no help as the
Democrats stage rallies and won elections theyshould never have won. Lindsay, Marjorie
and others fought for years unsuccessfully untilI came along and got the job done.

(05:57):
Then they were gone, never tobe heard from again until now.
We cannot let our country suffer anyfurther damage by losing elections on an issue
that should always have been decided bythe states and now will be. This
is pretty incredible to hear from DonaldTrump to say to openly say the reason

(06:17):
Republicans are losing elections is because you'reusing abortion at the forefront. This is
one thing that I was saying afterNovember. Republicans have to stop running on
abortion if we want to win,we as conservatives Republicans, because the Republicans
want to win, this is obviouslya losing issue right now. Society is

(06:38):
not wanting to hear what you're goingto do to ban abortion because more and
more people feel like that's an issuethat they disagree with those legislators on.
This makes it a state by stateprocess and really could create maybe a more
winnable scenario for trying to limit theaccess or try again. I'm not going

(07:02):
to speak for women. I knowhow I feel about abortion, but everybody
has their own taste and I'm notgoing to change anybody's mind, But you
can change how society views something whenthey are getting a chance with their local
legislation to make those rules. It'snot coming from some far away place like
Washington, DC. I got morefrom Donald Trump today on his true's social

(07:24):
account on abortion in his now likereal questioning disdain for Lindsey Graham on the
issue, and also kind of whereDonald Trump's history has been on abortion through
the years, because it has fluctuatedquite a bit in the way that he
at least has believed. And Ithink it's important to note this because this
is a man who obviously has adjustedwith society to understand what is important,

(07:46):
what the people want, and Ithink that's important for a leader to have.
I'll explain why it's important in whatexactly he said next right here on
news Radio eleven to ten kfab Emery'ssung on news Radio eleven ten KF A
B four O two five five eighteleven ten. Thanks so calling in,
Terry. Terry, thanks for beinga part of our show today. What
are you thinking about? Yeah,hey, I was. I was kind

(08:09):
of disappointed in the two Republicans thatvoted against that, uh voted with that
filibuster or whatever they did. Yeah, you're talking about the transgender bill,
right, Yes, yes, I'mtalking about that. You know, people
like to be like too, obviously, because you know, you've got you

(08:30):
tell kids they're they're they're if theywant to be a girl, you can
be a girl when you're a boy. That's just a big lie. The
whole thing is a lie. Andpeople don't realize that how stupid? How
the truth what? People don't realizewhat the truth really is? I mean,
and they don't want to hear thetruth if you tell them the truth,

(08:50):
right, you know, that's oursociety is screwed up. Well yeah,
Terry, I mean just on that, on that front, I suppose
my my big question then would be, so how to we change the culture
of that? I think the Democratsare changing that culture to for for people
to believe those lies. Well,right, but how do we change it

(09:11):
back? How do we change itback? We just you know what,
speak the truth and speak it inlove if you have to. But you
know, if a little if ifmy if my kid came up to me
and said, hey, I'm agirl, I'd say, no, you're
not. You're a boy. Andthat's what you are, as simple as
that. That's what the truth is. And when you got when you got

(09:33):
boys that want to go in girls'locker room to play sports teams, and
you know all that stuff is isuh, that's not right either. I
mean, you know how much howmuch that stuff we're going to put up
with before enough is enough? Youknow what I'm saying? Right? And
Terry, it's not even that bigof a problem yet, Wait till it

(09:54):
becomes a bigger problem because the NCAAhasn't said anything about it, you know
what I mean. The n ai A today said that that that is
no longer going to be allowed nextyear as far as competition is concerned.
Now, the schools can do whatthey want within their own school, but
as far as one school versus anotherschool, there can be no transgender females
playing female sports. But you know, wait until it becomes a bigger issue.

(10:16):
If the NCAA remains silent on it, and then we're going to have
an even bigger problem on our hands. But I appreciate your perspective on it,
Terry, thanks for calling in.Yeah, hopefully figures out the truth
on all that stuff right now.You know, one can only hope appreciate
the call. Yeah, and Ithink again, and this is what I
just want to I'm a little cautiousabout talking about stuff like this without having

(10:43):
somebody on the other side debate meon this because I want like I feel
that way too. I feel likethis shouldn't be that hard. This is
the common sense that we talk about. But everybody's common sense is a little
bit different and there, whether welike it or not, there is an
incredibly large portion of this population inour country that is on the opposite side

(11:03):
of that, and their common senseis like, well, everyone should have
a chance to play, and weshouldn't be the ones to tell people what
they are they are not, evenif scientifically it's pretty obvious what they are.
Their perspective is who are we totell them who they should be right?
And again, much like the abortionissue, and I'll get back to

(11:24):
that with Donald Trump in a second, people aren't generally changing their minds on
this, not now, and Ithink it's going to take a generation or
two for things to kind of figurethemselves out. There are a big amount
of young people, I think thatare trying to protect women's athletics because that's

(11:46):
kind of where this arena is beingfought. This is the arena that is
being fought in is the athletic arena. And I don't think, generally speaking,
I don't know anyone that does thisor has done this. I do
know that my wife, who wasyou know, coached, has encountered the

(12:07):
opposite. A biological female who iskind of just in confusion, is like
seventeen or eighteen years old, justcompletely confused about who they are. I
would be really reluctant if I wasa parent of somebody who felt this way,
or even a student, a schoolcounselor to push them or allow them

(12:28):
just to make rash decisions about whatthey are for their future biologically when they're
dealing with about of confusion right now, and I know that that's not helpful
in the moment for them. ButI had my own set of problems,
and I was going through my teenageyears. I didn't think that I was

(12:48):
a girl or anything, but therewere some things that I just thought I
was like I thought nobody like.I was super insecure about the way that
I looked. I was super insecureabout the way that I was perceived by
some of my classmates. I feltlike I got pushed around an off lock
because I didn't have big muscles,and I wasn't very good at sports,
even though I really wanted to be, And those kind of conversations that you

(13:09):
go home and you feel really sadabout them, but that's life as a
teenager. We got to find betterways to help out, and sad of
saying, hey, yeah, takethose pills and I'll be fine. That'll
help you out. We'll talk moreabout the abortion issue with Donald Trump's statement
when we come back. News Radioeleven teen KFAB and Rady's songer on news
Radio eleven ten KFAB. The eclipsestuff, Man, what an interesting thing

(13:30):
today. I did not know somany people were so excited about stuff like
this. And we had a lotof people email us their photographs from today.
They also emailed us. People emailedabout twenty seventeen in the pictures that
they got when they saw totality,when they went, you know, wherever
to see the total solar eclips.Pretty cool, pretty interesting now. I

(13:52):
think if there was ever a timefor us as a as a society to
you know, gather, I'm gladthey were doing this now. Whether you
were a person who greatly believes inconservative politics or liberal politics, this is
the one thing I think we allcould agree that this is pretty cool.
It's pretty cool now that I lovethe idea of bringing people together. You

(14:18):
know, the women's college basketball wetalked about earlier this show, and I'd
really encourage you to listen to someof what we talked about, because we
talked about the transgender athlete thing,which, by the way, if you
did not hear the NAIA, whichis not the NCAA, but it is
a kind of an offshoot version ofthat. With smaller schools. They have
officially outlawed trans females, which basicallyare men who are identifying or transitioning as

(14:43):
into being a woman. They havebanned them from competing in sports against women.
That came today. It's pretty interestingtiming, and that rule will go
into effect starting next school year.There are thirty two by the count I
saw account and I try to confirmthat thirty two trans female athletes right now

(15:05):
in in C DOUBLEAU sports, likein C double A women's sports, there
are thirty two athletes total. Andwe're talking in Division one there's like three
hundred and thirty total schools, andthen Division two and Division three there are
another you know, several dozen hundredschools in both of them, right and

(15:31):
over the entire list of all those, there's only thirty two trans females in
student athletics. It's a small number, but they haven't said anything about it,
and it makes you wonder, howlike is something going to have to
escalate in this conversation for them toactually do what the NAIA did today.

(15:54):
Pretty interesting. We also heard fromDon Staley which she gave credit to Caitlin
Clark when many legends of women's basketballare not. Don Stale, of course,
the head coach of South Carolina,who just won the national championship,
and she also said that she didn'tcare about the trans thing. If they
wanted to play, they could play, even though that's not something I think
she'll have to worry about a wholelot. So that conversation was really interesting,

(16:18):
and it was I can't wait tosee what happens because I don't know
if you knew this, but aweek from tonight is the WNBA Draft,
So you don't have to wait longif you're a big Caitlin Clark fan.
A week from today will know officiallyshe's going to the Indiana Fever and we'll
see where Angel rees. And youknow Cardoso who just killed Iowa inside for

(16:40):
South Carolina. She's going to bepicked pretty high. Cameron Brink, who's
a great player for Stanford, she'llbe picked probably in the top five.
A lot of great players are goingto be involved, and then we're like
a month away from the start ofthe WNBA season because they play during the
summer, so they don't compete withthe NBA. So if you really enjoyed
what you were watching with these collegewomen's basketball games, that WNBA is just

(17:02):
going to pick right up here withinthe next five six weeks the games are
going to start. But next weekis the official draft. So exciting times.
It's also interesting because now I'm gonnareally be divisive here, and not
necessarily with my own opinions, butthe opinion of one Donald Trump, who
many would say, oh, well, he's a divisive person anyway. Well,

(17:23):
a lot of people would argue thathe just says things that people are
too afraid to say. Well.On his truth social account today he posted
a four and a half minute video. I will not play the entire video.
It's really long and I don't wantto do that right. Talks about
a lot of stuff within like afertility treatments and the legalities of those and

(17:45):
trying to make sure people can havebabies if they want to have babies.
But this is it's pretty interesting becausehe is advocating against a national federal abortion
ban, the exact opposite of whata lot of Republicans have been talking about

(18:06):
It's like, okay, Roe v. Wade got overturned. Many Democrats said,
Okay, now states are just goingto attack us, or the federal
government is going to ban abortion ina way that they are going to try
to hurt us. And here isDonald Trump, of all people, saying,
I don't want a national ban.I think states should do what they
want. Now on the surface,let's just pretend like we're not talking about

(18:30):
abortion something this divisive, because Ihad an emailer say, this is one
thing that I think the federal governmentshould have a rule on. We shouldn't
just allow states to be able tomake their decisions for themselves. And I
hate to be this guy, butisn't that kind of conservative politics one oh

(18:51):
one, less federal government the better. I don't I know abortion is really
a hot button topic, but ifwe are truly conservative, state rights really
like they your local elections matter somuch more when you have people in your

(19:15):
own legislation who makes the rules forthe people of their state. Don't you
wouldn't you rather have the unicameral oryour local government or your city council making
the decisions for the people who livein those communities versus a bunch of bureaucrats

(19:36):
in Washington voting on this stuff.Of those people, if you're in Nebraska,
you have three of a four hundredand thirty five person body in the
House of Representatives, and in theSenate you have two of one hundred people
that are representing you, and thena president who you might have voted for,

(19:57):
you might like then signing bills intolaw that affect you personally. They
may never have even been to thisstate in recent times. Okay, so
less federal government generally for conservatives,the better. But this happens to be
a pretty hot button topic, andI'd love to talk to you about it,

(20:18):
so you can call in it.Four h two five five eight eleven
ten four roho two five five eighteleven ten. We'll get to the phones
momentarily here on news Radio eleven tenkfab em Ry's songer on news Radio eleven
ten kfab. Donald Trump posted ontruth Social a four and a half minute
video This was earlier this morning,talking about his viewpoints on the fact that

(20:40):
states should have the ability to legislatethemselves on abortion. He is not in
favor of a federal abortion ban,and over the last couple of hours has
really gone on truth social and hastalked about Lindsey Graham and some other staunch
people in the Republican Party keep pushingthis and this specific issue has caused multiple
Republicans elections, and that's something I'vebeen saying too. But it's quite interesting,

(21:06):
a lot of layers and a lotof levels to this on what is
an issue most people just kind ofhave a feeling about. They don't really
change their mind an awful lot.I'd love to hear what you think about
this. You can call in itfour roh two five five eight eleven ten.
Four roo two five five eight eleventen. We do have Jim on
the line. Jim, thanks forcalling in today. What do you think
about this? Hey, Emery,thanks for taking my call. Well,

(21:26):
the Supreme Court did overturn ro versusRow versus Waye. So we have to
realize that our three branches of governments, there are individuals that we put in
those positions. Of course, thePresident nominates the justices of the Supreme Court
and the lower justices, and theSenate confirms them. But we all are

(21:49):
Americans. The reason why they arepicked to be on Supreme Court is because,
as supposedly they have an education andthey're supposed to understand the Constitution Roe
versus Way in seventy three when itwas a decision. By the way,
I really laugh at my fellow Americans, especially some of those talk show hosts

(22:12):
on the morning show on TV.I'm not really going to mention the name
of the show. I do,unfortunately, listen to it so I can
see what both sides of my fellowAmericans on the spectrum think about things.
But I get a kick out ofthem calling it the law like it's law.
It's not a law. Roversus Waywas a decision. Nobody passed the

(22:34):
law that says you can have anabortionary you can't. So let's just be
clear. The issue on abortion,I feel, is more of an educational
thing that people need to understand.Abortion has been going on since beginning of
mankind. It just so happens thatour country, our nation that had developed

(22:55):
the Decoration of Independence and believed inlife, liberty and pursuit of happiness,
understood what life was all about.It just so happens that a lady in
Texas back in the sixties made abig deal Supreme Court should never took the
case but since they did. Nowfor fifty years, people think that,
well, well, I have thethey use the Fourth Amendment from what I
understand, the right to privacy.And there's nowhere in the Constitution that the

(23:21):
Supreme courture that took the case oreven made a judgment on it. So
it's an educational purpose. And sowhen when I listened to House members and
senators or even the President of theUnited States saying we're going to pass a
ban federal leg it's not your responsibility. The Tenth Amendment says it very clear,
what's not in the Constitution of theUnited States goes to the states and

(23:42):
the people respectably. Let's I've talkedto you before, Emory. Yeah,
I've told you about our founding documents. If we don't understand our founding documents,
we're going to go into the rabbithole. You know that. Yeah.
No, And Jim, I guessyou are really educated and you have
a lot of passion about our gainthe way that we do things, because
there is a right way to dothe government. It is outlined in the

(24:03):
Constitution. But how do you feelabout maybe the back last year from some
conservatives that say, well, thismight be the one thing that the federal
government needs to get involved in.Well, as far as I'm concerned that
the reason why they're saying that isbecause they want to be re elected into
the office that they are running for. They do that. This isn't about

(24:25):
them, This isn't about the ideathat I'm going to rep You don't represent
me to begin with, because youdon't represent me with the Constitution. You
represent me with your ideology. Idon't want your ideology. You don't know
what you're doing. You take anoath to the Constitution and you violate it
every day you get up to govote on things that you've got no responsibility

(24:48):
of the numerated powers of Article one, Section eight. Again, I'm going
back to the founding Document. I'mgoing back to the document that is a
blueprint of what we decide in seventeeneighty seven, seventeen eighty eight, to
be exactly where we ratified it onJune twenty first. Oh, I bet
you people didn't realize that one either. Well, here's the thing, Jim,
I will say this, It's alwaysgoing to be a debate, but

(25:08):
this is the thing with social mediaand the media that we are able to
intake people are going to be debatingthis stuff without truly understanding it, and
I appreciate you for helping us understandit today. Have a great day you
too. Thank you. Ever.Absolutely love to hear stuff like that from
people who are passionate one way orthe other. We got Mark on the
phone line. Mark, thanks forcalling in today. What do you got

(25:29):
Hey, Here's what I as faras this abortion deal, it is right
that it went back to the states. We keep forgetting about we the people
within our country, and you're right, the federal government is getting way too
big a visit already. But here'sthe thing I wanted to say. If
we was to ever treat immigration likethis, this is what you would be

(25:55):
seeing is what Texas is doing rightnow. Right. Really believe immigration itself
should be put up to the statesitself. Let the states take there.
Yeah. Well, the only thingMark that there would be some kickback on
that is because it is outlining theConstitution that one of the federal government's responsibilities
is national security. And this,technically you could say, is a national

(26:19):
security problem, right, No,No, it isn't. It's a state
problem. When it happens to Texasborder states should not be suffering this from
this if the national security was doingits job. So this is why I
know this is never going to happen, But I would definitely like to see

(26:44):
if the federal government cannot treat thiscorrectly, then let the states go ahead
and take care of it. Butyou're right, it is. It is
a federal issue. Immigration is supposedto be sure. But we need to
stop all this, We need tostop all this stupid power ticking, and
we need to put country first.I'm tired about The Democrats are good about

(27:06):
this. Their party comes before country, it doesn't, you know, we
don't look at our country first,right. Well, And that's the thing
that I think you have to commendDonald Trump for this if you're just a
political, you know, strategist,because he's going he's going against the grain
of what conservatives are going to generallyfavor and say no, if you're really

(27:29):
a conservative, you would say thestates should decide this stuff. And I
think I'm there with him. Iam too. But if who is the
female that was running and she justdropped out, she's the one that brought
this up originally, Nicki Haley.Nicki Haley, she said she was against
abortion but hey, the states aregoing to do what they do, and

(27:51):
she is cracked. And I thinkDonald Trump ran with this because he never
said anything about this originally. Edensee anything about the states taking care of
it. So if anything, NickyHaley that she was definitely correct about all
of this. Oh yeah, Iwould like to think I'd like to see
the states get their hands on awhole lot more. I think what was
originally supposed to be in what's theconstitution of our country, and this has

(28:18):
got way out of hand and gotto the federal level for sure. Man,
that's just my no, and Iappreciate it. Mark, thanks for
calling in. Have a great day. I think that I'm there now.
I'll tell you more about the specificsof what Donald Trump said about abortion and
how he says I am not infavor of a federal ban. It's the
will of the people, and thepeople in the States need to make these

(28:40):
determinations. Is this going to bea thing that kind of you know,
like, if you're an independent voter, say, maybe this guy isn't just
trying to take control of everything.Maybe he's not trying to turn into a
dictator, Because this is the kindof thing that makes a lot of sense
from conservative politics. If any otherconservative would have said this, I think
Democrats would have been applauding, butthey're not because he's Donald Trump. You

(29:03):
can call it a four h twofive five eight to eleven ten with your
thoughts on it. Four h twofive five eight to eleven ten. It's
news Radio eleven ten KFAB and Marieon news Radio eleven ten KFAB. Another
thing that has kind of permeated intothe news as the afternoon is worn on.
Donald Trump has been very active onhis True Social account talking about abortion
this afternoon, and he's talking aboutthere shouldn't be a federal abortion ban.

(29:29):
And this is so completely against whatpeople thought he was going to say on
this issue, especially considering that I'vesaid this too. Abortion is just not
an issue Republicans are winning on rightnow, and here he is basically neutralizing
any sort of weaponization of the issueagainst him by saying, look, if
you are in a blue state andyou want people to make that dissemination in

(29:51):
your state, then that should behow it goes, and the same thing
with the red states. But thefederal government shouldn't be making these decisions for
everyone. Pretty interesting and quite aturnaround from more probably I think most people
expected on both sides of the aisle. Well, we want to know what
you think. You can call usa four oh two five five eight eleven
ten. Four h two five fiveeight eleven ten. Mike's on our phone
line. Mike, thanks for thecall. What do you think about this?

(30:15):
Yeah, thanks for taking my call. One hundre percent agree with you.
I think this really exemplifies how muchDonald Trump is actually, you know,
despite what people would have you thinkis very reasonable. And the fact
that we're willing to accept this asconservatives shows that we have gravitated towards the

(30:41):
left along with everybody else who's kindof fallen off the cliff. I mean,
realistically, conservatism, conservativism right now, we're we're nineties liberals, So
we've budged, and so I thinkthat it's a I think it's a correct
movement. I agree with you.You but that's my biggest point is the

(31:03):
amount that the right has budged andkeeps moving further and further left right.
So I guess, Mike, mybiggest question, let's just remove And this
is something I brought up earlier,but I just want to get your thoughts
on it. I know you agreewith me, but just to explore the
thought a little further, I don'tthis probably isn't even a discussion if this
is any other issue, like adomestic issue, except for abortion right,

(31:30):
because that's what conservatism is is thatthe state should have the ability to decide.
Local governments should have more power todetermine what their people should be governed
by, and not people in Washington, d C. Don't you think?
Yeah, I completely agree with that. I think the only thing that should
be federally streamlined is any sort offederal election. Aside from that, just

(31:51):
it's no different than having your armyNational Guard. It's all administered at the
state level, and I think theyshould be too. I love the fact
that we can talk about this andfeel like, hey, you know what,
we are talking about things with thelevel head here and not just trying
to, you know, throw haterhetoric in there. I don't know.
I can't wait to see how theDemocrats try to respond to this, because

(32:13):
obviously they're going to be like,but wait, he's going to change his
mind. I promise you he will. He's a dictator, I tell you.
Yeah, it's ridiculous. Thanks Mikefor the call. Appreciate you being
a part of the show. Thanks. Yeah. So if you want to
call it and you can't four rowtwo, five to five, eight eleven,
ten if you're wondering specifically about whatDonald Trump said, and this could
be tough for people, right becauseDonald Trump, in his abortion views have

(32:36):
kind of morphed over time. He'snot been a super staunch like anti abortion
person or pro life person. Hesays he didn't. He's never and we
have evidence that he's never been afan of like he's never been telling people,
yeah, go get abortions, buthe is. This is a man
that was identifying as a Democrat formost of his professional life until the last
fifteen years or so, and nowhe's Mike makes a great point if you

(33:00):
look at kind of liberal politics andthe eighties and into the nineties, it's
kind of the conservative rhetoric that wehave now. And I don't think that's
bad. And this is why Idon't think it's bad, and hear me
out, it's because progress has alwayshappened. Think about what conservative politics were
one hundred years ago, and you'dbe like, well, you'd never be

(33:21):
able to get away with some ofthat stuff. Now, Well, society
changes, life changes. That's partof what we do here in this thing
that we call life. At thesame time, I think that it's really
important for us to understand that it'sstill important to be conservative. And the
number one conservative thing that I thinkyou could do when you're in the federal
government is to give power to thestates. And if Donald Trump was this

(33:45):
radical dictator that the Democrats have madehim out to be for the better part
of the last decade, don't youthink he would be telling people we are
going to ban abortions no matter what. He wouldn't be saying actively I want
the states to make the determination.He wouldn't and actively be saying something along
the lines of I am greatly infavor of protecting the mother, and in

(34:09):
situations of rape or incest, thisshould be an option. I mean,
he says this on his truth Socialand I'm just going to read this post
real quick before we move on tofinish out the show. This is what
Donald Trump said on his truth SocialSo any Democrat friends that you have in
your life or enemies, depending onhow serious you are about this stuff,

(34:30):
I want you to understand what thisis. This is Donald Trump saying This
is basically him saying, I'm nota dictator. I want to be the
most effective president that I can befor the United States of America. And
anybody who says otherwise, point themto this. This is what he said
today. This is on his truthsocial within the last couple of hours.
By allowing the states to make theirdecision and hoping that Republicans running for office

(34:52):
will have the sense, although theymust always follow their heart, to require
the exceptions for rape incests in thelife of the mother, we have taken
the abortion issue largely out of play, he said this. And you know
why he said this, because Republicansand Republican values have been losing. Conservative
values have been losing when abortion hasbeen at the forefront. He goes on

(35:14):
and he says stuff like Lindsey Graham, especially, who's been really at the
forefront that's trying to shove this intothe government, say that we need a
national ban on abortion for X,Y, and Z. And you might
agree with that, but there arestates, there are people, there are
places that they don't feel the sameway, and Republicans lose in big numbers

(35:35):
over the last decade running on thisissue, and Donald Trump says, look,
now the states get to decide.Talk to your state legislator about this,
but as far as the federal electionis concerned, we're not worrying about
it. One of the most divisiveissues that could possibly exist, and no
longer he's taken it out of play. It's a brilliant move and independent voters
like, oh, okay, nowI don't have to worry about that from

(35:57):
Donald Trump. That's a brilliant move. Conservative candidate, and anybody who says
otherwise, they're just a hater.They just are. I'm sorry, you
don't have to like the man,but this is a great move for the
electability of Donald Trump in November.There's no doubt about it. You can
call us four h two five five, eight, eleven ten and we'll wrap
up the show next and I'll makemy pick for tonight's men's National Championship game
next on news radio eleven to tenKFAB. Emery Songer on News Radio eleven

(36:22):
ten KFAB. All right, it'sEmery Snger here and we're wrapping the show
up before we get to my gamepick for tonight's National Championship game between Yukon
and Purdue. I want to finishour conversation about Donald Trump's view on abortion
in saying that it should be astate issue and not a federal ban.
And on our phone line right nowwe have Jeremy. Jeremy, first of

(36:43):
all, thanks so much for beingon our show today. Hey, Emory,
thanks for having me. I gottwo quick points. One I think
is incredibly simple that a lot ofpeople are overlooking. I feel like we
need a civic lesson again. Buteither you agree with the Supreme Court decision
or don't. And that Supreme Courtdecision was not whether or not abortion was

(37:05):
right or wrong. It was whohad the power to decide, and it
said that the federal government does nothave that authority. So either you agree
with some way you don't. That'sa great point, Jeremy. I guess
my question would be, do youagree with that? Oh, I definitely
agree with that. Now, Ithink you know, at the state level,

(37:27):
there's another conversation to be had onon the exact question of what should
be allowed related to abortion. Andthat's absolutely a conversation that everyone in their
respective state could have. But atthe federal level, especially when you know,
buying for the presidency of the UnitedStates. I think it's important to
bring people back to understand what thatrole is and what the responsibilities of our

(37:52):
federal government is. And you know, I have the conservative part of being
conservative is understanding where and what wehave given the federal government the rights and
the power to control, and thatthey only have what we allow them to
have. And one other point thatI want to bring up is a pretty
quick one, and that is Ithink I literally I might have heard it

(38:14):
on your show or another one ofthe shows during the day on your channel,
but abortion was lifted number ten onthe top ten things people care about
in this election season. It's anon starter and the only reason it's being
talked about is because the top eightthings on that list the Democrats don't want

(38:35):
to talk about. So great gratefullywe started talking about more of those will
be doing better. Jeremy appreciate thecall man, Thank you so much.
Thank you. Yeah, no,I completely agree. And this is why
everybody who runs on the platform ofabortion usually loses, because there are a
lot of people out here just disagree, and a lot of people in the
world that just disagree about this issue. A lot of people in this country
that disagree. This is a greatmove for the electability of Donald Trump moving

(38:59):
into November, and it'll be interestingto see how the Democrats respond because they
can't be mad about this. Idon't think. By the way, Yukonum
Purdue, you Kona six and ahalf point favorite eight to twenty ish is
gonna be the tip off? That'sa TBS is the channel that's going to
be on. I got the HuskiesBig East. I think they're gonna finish
it off and do the repeat,but I would I'm actually pulling for Purdue
tonight. I really would like tosee Matt Paynter get one along with Zach

(39:20):
Edy. Anyway, we'll talk aboutthat and plenty more tomorrow, So find
us two o'clock tomorrow afternoon on newsradio eleven ten KFAB
