Movement that believes abortion should be illegal
POPULARITY
Categories
Most abortion debates fail to advance the conversation because the two sides aren't arguing on the same grounds — one side makes a moral or religious case, the other a case from women's rights; so they talk past each other. Kerry Baldwin argues that there's a better approach. In this FreedomFest debate with Michael Shermer, Baldwin makes her case. Shermer approaches abortion from a secular humanist perspective, making a moral-pragmatic case for pro-choice that centers the lived reality and full moral status of women. Baldwin, though a professing Christian, does not argue from religious or moral grounds. Instead, she argues from a natural law, libertarian legal-rights, and free-market perspective. Both are critical of the conventional pro-life argument, and both believe that reducing unwanted pregnancies through free-market solutions is the practical path forward. What they disagree on is whether a consistent defense of women's rights can stop short of recognizing fetal self-ownership. Rather than relitigating the familiar culture-war framing, this debate advances the liberty conversation by asking what libertarian principles actually require and what the net benefit is for women's rights more broadly.Be sure to bring your questions and participate in Kerry's post-debate live Q&A here: https://mereliberty.com/freedomfest-attendee-email-list/Kerry's main site: https://mereliberty.com/The Reformed Libertarians Podcast: https://libertarianchristians.com/shows/reformed-libertarians-podcast/Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs ★ Support this podcast ★
By adulthood, people start believing the real thing must also be cute.Then reality enters the chat.That's exactly how socialism gets sold."It's about fairness.""It's about compassion.""It's about everybody sharing."Right...Until the government eats everything in your refrigerator and starts charging you rent to use your own stove.Leftism always arrives wearing fuzzy slippers.It leaves wearing combat boots.That's why I always laugh when people say, "Well... it sounds nice."So does petting a bison.Until you discover frequent-flyer miles aren't supposed to be earned by your body.Speaking of Leftists discovering reality...There's a congressman named Shri Thanedar who's apparently getting thrown overboard by his own party.Now think about how hard that is.The man filed seven articles of impeachment against Donald Trump.Seven.At that point you're not trying to impeach him.You're trying to collect the whole set.And despite all that...Democrats still say he isn't left enough.His platform actually included government transparency.Transparency?Did he accidentally campaign as a Republican?That's like walking into a mafia meeting and saying, "I'd like to discuss better accounting."No wonder they're replacing him.He only wanted a fifteen-dollar minimum wage.Democrats are probably saying, "Fifteen? Grandpa... catch up."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Donald Trump has this uncanny ability to make Democrats tell on themselves without even trying. Barack Obama just gave us another example.[X] SB - Pres Trump Obama SOBObama recently decided to float the idea that Donald Trump has him "living rent-free" in Trump's head. That's rich. That's like the guy who burned your house down complaining that you keep bringing up the fire. "Kevin, why are you still talking about the arsonist?" Because I'm still rebuilding the kitchen, genius.Obama wants to turn accountability into obsession.Every time Trump has to fix another Obama disaster, somehow Obama translates that into, "See? He can't stop thinking about me."No, Barack. That's called cleaning up after you.If your teenager wrecks the family car, you don't spend six months in the body shop because you're obsessed with your teenager. You spend six months there because he drove it through the living room.Obama wants to frame history as psychology.Trump isn't haunted by Obama. America is still paying Obama's bills.And I have to laugh at the phrase "living rent-free."If anybody would understand rent-free housing, it'd be Democrats. If Obama were living anywhere inside Trump's mind, it'd have to qualify for Section 8. There'd be federal subsidies, three oversight committees, two NGOs, and somehow USAID would still send money overseas.Obama accomplished something remarkable. He convinced millions of Americans that decline was sophistication.[X] SB – DSA in their own words Act from the belly of the beast.

John Gerardi is joined by Jonathan Keller of California Family Council to unpack the disturbing expansion of Canada's euthanasia program, from proposals to euthanize infants with disabilities to recommendations that minors consent to their own deaths without parental input. This week's mystery clip reveals just how far the MAID program has gone, with roughly half of 2024 recipients citing feeling like a burden rather than terminal illness. The guys then break down how activists quietly corrupt language, sliding from physician assisted suicide to medical assistance in dying to simply assisted death, and why that shift matters. Finally, they take on a New England Journal of Medicine article arguing to contextualize the dead donor rule, a euphemism for harvesting organs from euthanasia patients before death, and explain why the slippery slope keeps proving pro-lifers right.
Welcome back to The Kevin Jackson Show. Buckle up, where today we're diving into the greatest hits of Democratic projection, where the party that spent four years telling us Joe Biden was sprinting marathons and doing cartwheels now wants us to believe Donald Trump's health is a national emergency.You've got Maggie Haberman out here whispering that Trump's health is like a “black box” inside the administration. A black box? [X] SB – MSNOW Maggie HabermanMa'am, the man was more visible than a Vegas marquee for eight straight years—rallying, golfing, tweeting at 3 a.m., dodging bullets both literal and figurative. We saw more of Trump than we saw of our own families during COVID. But suddenly it's Schrödinger's President: alive and dead until the Democrats open the box and tell us what to think.Let's hop in the Wayback Machine, shall we? Remember when they warned us Trump would start World War III on day one? That he'd be a dictator? That Melania was secretly running the country? That he'd never leave the White House alive—wait, that last one they're still working on. Every prediction landed with the accuracy of a weatherman in a hurricane, yet here they are, dusting off the same script like it's a greatest-hits album nobody asked for.And speaking of greatest hits nobody asked for, we now learn there was yet another plot against Trump—and roughly 30% of this country, the usual suspects on the left, the DSA crowd, the blue-check revolutionaries, were low-key rooting for it to work. They weren't just hoping; they were practically taking pre-orders on the commemorative T-shirts. “Thoughts and prayers” my ass—they were doing cartwheels in the group chat.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Platner was their fresh face until reality caught up. ActBlue's Fifth Amendment parade shows the fundraising engine doesn't like basic questions. International fans experiencing America on the ground exposed how much of the doom narrative was always projection. The old reliable outrage props—abortion, police encounters, border stories—aren't landing like they used to because people have seen the pattern.The irony builds slow but lands hard: the side that spent years accusing everyone else of undermining democracy now panics at the idea of actual election security talk. Their only remaining cards are the same 2020 and January 6 lies, and those are the ones Trump is positioned to hit hardest. When those get debunked publicly, the ripple doesn't stay contained—it forces a harder look backward at how institutions and media handled things and forward at what they've pushed since.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The overall arc tonight is President Trump stepping to the mic in prime time with Democrats already feeling the squeeze—back in office, systematically taking them apart policy by policy, and now standing there like a guy who's lifted the hem on their whole operation and seen the pretenders underneath. No more hiding behind the same old scripts. This segment focuses on the pre-speech scramble: the media and Democratic apparatus spinning like tops before a single word drops, the anticipation of what “receipts” he might actually deliver, and why the very fact they're this rattled tells you the game has changed.Democrats are rightfully scared of what President Trump is going to say on Thursday. They've bet the ranch on the 2020 election lies and the January 6 bullsh*t holding forever. Now the guy they swore was finished is in the Oval Office again, dismantling their narrative machine piece by piece. The White House has signaled the speech centers on election security—voting machines, foreign interference angles from his first term, the whole apparatus that decides who actually wins. Reuters and the usual suspects are already framing it as recycled “complaints” and “false claims,” complete with the ritual “courts found no large-scale fraud” line. That's the spin cycle on full blast before he even clears his throat.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Republican voters are finally talking about surrogacy—but not for the reason you think...After a recent Supreme Court ruling sparked new concerns about birthright citizenship, many conservatives began questioning the security threats international surrogacy brings. But the real dangers go far beyond immigration.Whether you've never thought about surrogacy before or have followed the issue for years, this episode dives into the ethical, legal, and human costs.What do you think? Should Texas ban commercial surrogacy—or all surrogacy? Let us know in the comments.Contact your legislators here: https://wrm.capitol.texas.gov/home

It's Thursday, July 16th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus U.S. to Iran: Stop persecuting Christians The United States is calling for Iran to end its persecution of Christians. According to Open Doors, it's the tenth worst country in the world. In one case, authorities in the country sentenced a Christian convert to nearly 10 years in prison back in May. Forty-two-year-old Ghazal Marzban is now on a hunger strike. A State Department spokesman told Fox News Digital, “We are aware of these reports. It is reprehensible that the Iranian regime continues to persecute religious minorities, including Iranian Christians.” Dr. Hormoz Shariat with Iran Alive Ministries told Fox News that Christians in Iran are courageous in the face of persecution. Listen. SHARIAT: “Believers in Iran are full of [the] Holy Spirit. They are courageous. They're out there. Many of them are living, and some of them are dying for Jesus. I see such a courage among the Iranian Muslim background believers.” Revelation 12:11 says, “And they overcame [the Devil] by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” America restarted naval blockade against Iranian ports On Tuesday, the United States restarted its naval blockade against Iranian ports. This comes after the Islamic Republic continued to attack commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Yesterday, the U.S. military carried out more strikes on Iran. President Donald Trump threatened strikes on Iran's infrastructure next week unless the country reopens negotiations. Pro-life British Member of Parliament was killed A pro-life British politician was found dead at her home on July 9th. Seventy-eight-year-old Ann Widdecombe had served as a conservative member of Parliament from 1987 to 2010. The Catholic politician was an outspoken opponent of abortion. Counter-terrorism police report that she was clearly the victim of a targeted attack and are still investigating a motive. Supreme Court Justices ask for additional security Here in America, U.S. Supreme Court Justices testified before Congress about threats to their lives. The Supreme Court is requesting nearly $15 million in additional funds from Congress for the personal security of the justices. Justice Amy Coney Barrett talked about one incident when she was the victim of an erroneous call to her residence. BARRETT: “Roughly six weeks ago, I was the victim of a swatting incident. At that point, my teenage son, one of my teenage sons, opened the door to go out with friends and saw in our street it was full of police cars who had responded to a false report of gunshots and raised voices in my home. “I was very, very grateful that I had Supreme Court Police outside my home because they were able to stop and meet with, and explain to the county police, that it had been a false alarm. And so, the police did not actually attempt to enter our home.” Conservative justices faced intense threats surrounding the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022. For example, Justice Amy Coney Barrett had to be sent home with a bullet proof vest when threats were high. In Proverbs 8:35-36, Wisdom says, “For whoever finds me finds life, and obtains favor from the LORD; but he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; all those who hate me love death.” Christian student required to attend a perversion assembly A Christian middle schooler in Washington State is suing her school district for violating her faith. Highline Public School District in Burien, Washington held a mandatory so-called “Inclusion Assembly” back in May. The event covered topics that conflicted with the girl's Christian faith. So, she asked to be excused, but the school forced her to participate. The American Center for Law and Justice filed a lawsuit against the school last week on behalf of the Christian student. The ACLJ stated, “Our client is a little girl who has done nothing but live out her faith with kindness and respect for others.” Only 33% of Americans trust churches, down from 60% in 2001 A new Gallup survey found that Americans don't trust institutions in the United States. Only 27% of U.S. adults expressed confidence in major institutions. That's down from 43% in 2001. These institutions include banks, churches, Congress, the military, public schools, and the medical system. Thirty-three percent of Americans express confidence in churches and organized religion. That's down from 60 percent in 2001. Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil sold for $50 million A Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil sold for a record-breaking $50.1 million in New York on Tuesday. A paleontologist discovered the skeleton on a ranch in South Dakota in 2021. Known as “Gus”, it's one of the largest and most complete dinosaurs ever discovered. Paleontologists claim that Gus lived about 67 million years ago. However, scientists discovered a T. Rex fossil in 2005 that contained unfossilized soft tissue. Answers in Genesis noted, “Soft tissue is not compatible with an old Earth, and yes, it is indeed a powerful confirmation of the Biblical timeline.” Worldview listeners from Manitoba, Indiana and Kentucky weigh in Azalia Marten in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada wrote me and said, “I want to thank The Worldview team for writing the newscast every weekday. I greatly appreciate your views. Thank you for putting your lives into this!” John Martini in Moores Hill, Indiana wrote me and said, “I appreciate three things about your news program: First, important topics are covered. Second, the reporting is concise and includes primary sources. And third, there is a direct Biblical connection made in many of the news stories. We often pray about the topics presented.” And Megan Severe in Elizabeth Town, Kentucky, said, “I am a history teacher and it's very important to me to teach my students to be aware of current events in the world. What happens today is going to shape our history. I was delighted to find your podcast and have been listening to it every morning as I get ready for work over the past year. “The podcast helps prepare me to know what important world events I should tie into my lesson. I even played it for my classes to listen to so they could hear the news from a Christian perspective. I love how you tie in Bible verses. Thanks for what you do!” 13 Worldview listeners gave $2,817 And finally, by 9:00pm Central on Wednesday night, 13 Worldview listeners had stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the six-member team behind The Worldview for another year Our thanks to Marcia in Cairo, New York who gave $25, Augustine in Auburn, California who gave $30 as well as Tim in Newton, Kansas and Kevin and Lisa in Scottdale, Pennsylvania – both of whom gave $100. We were touched by the generosity of Chuck in Penticton, British Columbia, Canada and Josh in Davenport, Iowa – both of whom gave $150, as well as Leticia in Blum, Texas who pledged $15/month for 12 months for a gift of $180, and Gena in Huntsville, Alabama who gave $182. And we're grateful to God for Richard in Camden, Wyoming who emailed me to say he is continuing with his $25/month pledge for a gift of $300, Keith in Longview, Texas who gave $300, Pat in Park Ridge, Illinois who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a total gift of $300, Daniel in Raleigh, North Carolina who gave $400, and Dennis in Fort Worth, Texas who emailed me to say he is continuing with his $50/month pledge for a total gift of $600. Those 13 gifts add up to $2,817. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (drum roll sound effect) $26,620 (sound effect of people cheering) That means we need to raise $29,945 to hit our $56,565 goal in just two days by this Friday, July 17th. Remember, if you want to continue your monthly pledge to The Worldview that you started in a previous year, please let me know so we can count your generous ongoing gift toward our total -- like Richard and Dennis did. We need to find 8 Worldview listeners, who will pledge $100/month for 12 months, or give a one-time gift of $1,200, 16 folks who will pledge $50/month or give a one-time gift of $600 and 32 listeners who will pledge $25/month or give a one-time gift of $300. Go to TheWorldview.com, click on Give, select the dollar amount, and make sure to click on the “recurring” button if that's your wish. To be honest, the race to the finish line of funding the six-member Worldview team for another year is almost half way over and we are significantly behind! Can you help?

[X] SB – MSNOW Nicole Wallace on not covering Trump…[X] SB – Jim Acosta gives a responseComing out of covid.Meaner and nastier? Less sensitive. Fights on the planes. Pent up aggression and hostilityThe media keeps trying to convince America that Iran is somehow winning.Really?Iran could launch a paper airplane painted camouflage green...CNN would interrupt programming."Military analysts are concerned..."MSNBC would bring on eight professors to explain the symbolic significance of folded notebook paper.The New York Times headline would read..."Experts Warn Origami May Shift Regional Balance of Power."Meanwhile the paper airplane lands in a goat pasture.The goat isn't impressed.The media still gives Iran style points.And have you noticed something else?Where are all the anti-war Democrats?Where are the celebrities?Where's Hollywood recording another version of "Give Peace a Chance" while standing safely behind armed security?Remember the first time Trump hit Iran?You would've thought he'd personally challenged every yoga instructor in Santa Monica to a cage match.The Left screamed..."World War III!""He's reckless!""He's unstable!""This is the end of diplomacy!"Now?Trump has launched repeated strikes after exhausting diplomatic options......and suddenly the outrage meter is broken.Interesting.It's almost like context matters.Trump didn't begin with bombs.He began with diplomacy.Again.And again.And again.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Welcome, folks! We have a packed show today, because apparently the world decided to produce enough material in the last 24 hours to keep comedians employed for another decade.And for us, it's almost all good news. And while the “war” wages on with Iran, I say to you, “Don't panic”. Our president has things in check.More on that in a bit…But let's begin with Kamala Harris. I honestly believe her to be worse than Biden on saying stupid stuff.Let's begin with the Lesbian Basketball League, aka the WNBA.Kamala Harris recently praised the league for its "commitment to excellence."Really?Because I watched one of the league's recent highlights, and it looked less like basketball and more like a deleted scene from Fight Club: The Layup Edition.Apparently excellence now includes trying to choke out your biggest star.And who was the target? Caitlin Clark.Imagine if a group of white girls targeted a black girl and gave her beatdowns on the regular? CNN would already have a six-part documentary. MSNBC would have candlelight vigils. We'd have congressional hearings before halftime.Didn't we get enough of these movies where a race had to overcome adversity?Will Hollyweird pull a classic move and cast Caitlin Clark as Harriet Tubman?Instead?Crickets.The media suddenly developed the observational skills of a goldfish.So apparently we've reached a new definition of excellence. Sell tickets with a superstar...then let everybody mug her because she's too successful.Imagine the NBA treating Michael Jordan that way."Michael's too popular. Let's let Bill Laimbeer choke him for ratings."That's not excellence.That's envy with a scoreboard.And the WNBA won't be “excellent” until they allow transexuals in.

Good morning, folks! You ever notice that nature has become the greatest political commentator in America? We spend billions on think tanks, cable news, polling, consultants, and focus groups... meanwhile, a bison says more in eight seconds than CNN has managed in eight years.Did you see the video?A giant male bison is lying there, minding his own business, probably thinking about grass, taxes, and whether Yellowstone has enough parking. Then along comes a couple who decide, "You know what this thousand-pound wild animal needs? Me... six feet away... with an iPhone."That's confidence bordering on a medical condition.The bison starts rolling around on the ground. He's giving every warning nature invented. He's basically saying, "I'm trying to remain a vegetarian today. Don't test me."Instead of taking the hint, they stick around.Then the bison gets up.Now, if a bison stands up and starts running at you, there are only two acceptable responses. One is run. The other is pray while running.These folks chose... photography.A white SUV drives between the bison and the couple, buying them precious seconds. They duck behind some trees. You can't see much. Then the man bolts toward the SUV, and just as he reaches safety...BOOM!That bison lowers his head and launches the guy about fifteen feet into the air.I've watched enough football to know that wasn't a tackle.That was assisted flight.I imagine the bison thinking, "What is WITH these white people?"Listen, I love my white friends. But there really should be a cable channel called Crazy Crap White People Do.Season One:Episode One: Selfie with the bison.Episode Two: Let's pet the bear.Episode Three: Honey, I bet that hippo is friendly.Spoiler alert... every season finale ends in the emergency room.And before anybody gets upset, relax. Every race has its thing.Black folks generally don't look at a wild animal and think, "I wonder if he's huggable."We're more likely to look at the bison and say, "That dude owns this neighborhood. Let's keep driving."See? That's called survival.But here's why this story matters.Because this isn't just about a bison.It's about Leftism.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Scott Klusendorf wraps up his series on the academic thinkers driving pro-abortion thought. Giubilini and Minerva shocked the world by arguing that if abortion is permissible, so is killing newborns—because neither fetus nor newborn is an "actual person." David Boonin takes a different path, conceding that you are identical to the embryo you once were, yet denying you had a right to life back then. Learn how to answer both arguments—one based on identity, the other on rights—and see why either way the conclusion is deadly, on this episode of The Case for Life.Be sure to subscribe to The Case for Life Podcast on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, or your favorite podcast app so you never miss a single episode.Follow Scott Klusendorf on Rumble, Youtube, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter to be kept up to date on everything God is doing through my pro-life work.Sign up for Pro-Life 101: 7 Days to Confident Engagement: https://scottklusendorf.com/prolife101/Book me for an event or partner with Life Training Institute as a donor at https://prolifetraining.com.

Funny how outrage always seemed to come with an invoice attached.Trump talks about Obama because Obama left behind a political Superfund site.You don't criticize the previous administration because you're nostalgic.You criticize it because the cleanup is expensive.Iran is a perfect example.Obama handed over billions.We were told it was diplomacy.We were told pallets of cash would moderate the ayatollahs.Apparently the theory was if you give terrorists enough allowance money they'll suddenly discover yoga and artisanal coffee.Instead, Iran funded proxies.Expanded influence.Accelerated its nuclear ambitions.Destabilized the region.Exactly what critics predicted.So when Trump reminds people about Obama's Iran policy, that's not personal.That's historical.Recently Trump joked that even the Iranians considered Obama... less than beloved.And Obama's response?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Folks, I have a question. And this one is just for the men listening.How cold... would you have to be... before you looked down and thought, "Well, I guess THIS is going into the fireplace."Seriously. What's the temperature? Negative 200? Ice Age? Penguins filing workers' comp claims? Because I can tell you right now, my survival instincts are going to lose that argument every single time.I ask because there's a story out of Indiana that reads like somebody gave ChatGPT a concussion.Police respond to a stabbing.Firefighters respond to a garage fire.At first you think, "That's a busy night."Then the investigations merge into one story, and somehow the missing family member turns out to be... well... only partially missing.According to investigators, this guy allegedly cut off his own penis... and then set it on fire.Now, I don't know who looked at that crime scene first, but imagine being the detective."So... we've got a fire.""Anything accelerate it?""Apparently poor decision-making."The reports say he admitted it.Admitted it?Sir, I don't think you needed a confession. I don't think CSI had to dust for fingerprints. There are some crimes where the evidence introduces itself.And here's what really gets me.He gets charged with... arson.Arson!That's adding insult to catastrophic injury.The prosecutor's reading the charges like it's any ordinary Tuesday."Sir, you're charged with destruction of property...""...and by the way... the State would also like to discuss the garage."Now, I have practical questions.Since when is that considered firewood?I grew up learning about kindling.Nobody ever said, "If the logs are damp..."And imagine the Boy Scouts handbook."Today we're earning the Fire Safety badge.""No, Kevin... NOT THAT!"The article says a family member was reported missing.Missing member?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Angela Weszely is the founder and CEO of ProGrace and the author of Becoming ProGrace: Expanding the Abortion Conversation Beyond Life Versus Choice. Twenty-one years ago she took a job at a Christian pregnancy center in Chicago and immediately felt the tension between what the organization said it believed and how it actually treated women. That tension became a decade-long journey that led her to found ProGrace. In this conversation, Angela and Markus explore what it looks like for the church to actually resemble Jesus in how it responds to abortion and unintended pregnancy.This Episode's Highlights Include:Angela's journey from a legalistic upbringing into leading a Christian pregnancy organizationThe four theological frameworks Christians get wrong about abortion: equal value and dignity, political identity over Christian identity, grace, and shared responsibilityWhy only 7% of women, and 16% of church-going women, ever approach a church before an abortion decisionThe narrative that shames women and lets partners off the hookWhat the story of the woman caught in adultery in John 8 actually reveals about grace and systemic injusticeWhat it means to be the beloved, and why that identity changes how we respond to people in crisisThe objectification hiding inside the abortion debateRelevant Resources and Links:Becoming ProGrace: Expanding the Abortion Conversation Beyond Life Versus Choice, by Angela WeszelyProGraceSend me a text!

A huge catalyst for our 2025 pivot towards courting a much wider audience was AOC's post-mortem of the 2024 election: “We can't just be right. We have to be effective.”But at the same time, we have to also agree on the fundamentals — human rights — and...
He changes the environment so completely that the original attack almost becomes irrelevant.And that's why his opponents always look like they're one move behind.They're not one move behind.They're reading yesterday's notes.Trump never had a playbook.He's writing the next page while they're still highlighting the last one.The Soviet Union wasn't defeated because Americans invaded Moscow.East Germany didn't collapse because somebody delivered a really angry tweet.Authoritarian systems eventually begin eating themselves. They become so obsessed with controlling everyone else that they forget to maintain themselves.It's political auto-cannibalism.I've never seen political opponents spend so much money marketing somebody else's brand.It's like Coca-Cola buying Pepsi commercials.Thank you for your contribution.Foreign adversaries make another interesting mistake.They assume America is divided enough that we won't defend ourselves.History suggests otherwise.Americans argue constantly.We debate taxes.We debate spending.We debate who ruined Thanksgiving.But when somebody outside decides America should lose?That conversation changes.Very quickly.The people betting against America usually discover they've mistaken cable television for national character.Those are not the same thing.Here's the larger lesson.Strength isn't about wanting conflict.Strength is convincing the other guy that conflict would be the dumbest decision he'll make all year.That's deterrence.It's cheaper than war.It's faster than war.And it usually prevents war.As for the Democratic Party, they're facing a different problem.They're discovering that the American people have become much harder to frighten.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Good morning, folks. Welcome to The Kevin Jackson Show. Lindsey Graham dead…I'm Kevin Jackson, and today we're talking about wars—plural. The ones President Trump is fighting inside this country and the ones he's refusing to lose outside of it.Let's start with the obvious one everybody's pretending to clutch pearls over: Iran. Can anybody seriously blame the man for finally treating them like the liars they've always been? These are the same people who've spent years swearing on a stack of whatever they don't believe in that they're not building bombs, not funding terror, not planning to turn the Middle East into their personal playground. Then they get caught red-handed and act shocked when somebody stops playing along. It's like catching the same guy breaking into your garage every other Tuesday and then getting mad when you finally change the locks. We're going to spend some time on Iran today because the story's bigger than one headline and the media would rather you not look too closely.Meanwhile, the polling numbers keep doing something the left swore would never happen again: they're going up. Trump's sitting at his highest levels in months. The only thing that's actually changed is the media occasionally running out of negative adjectives and being forced to report what's actually occurring. Wild concept, I know.I was on a panel the other day with a 37-year-old gentleman who insisted the DSA movement is growing. I asked him the same questions I've asked plenty of others. First one was simple: Who's the leader of the Republican Party? One hundred percent of the panel said Trump without blinking. Then I asked about the Democrats. He tried to be cute and said Joe Rogan. The room laughed. The problem is, it wasn't that funny—because when your party's brand is so damaged that a comedian with a podcast starts looking like the adult in the room, maybe the real joke is on the people still pretending everything's fine.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Money? Money is brutally honest. Money doesn't clap because it likes your speech.

John Gerardi is joined by his friend Kathryn Jean Lopez of National Review, the pro-life movement's leading chronicler and author of the Lifeline newsletter. The two dig into the biggest and most frustrating story in pro-life politics: Congress quietly letting Planned Parenthood's Medicaid funding come roaring back after just one year of defunding, and why, in KJL's words, "not enough raging" is happening in Washington. Along the way they cover the GOP's fading abortion plank and the legacy of platform warriors like Phyllis Schlafly, the New York Times' fascination with Heritage Foundation scholar "Mrs." Emma Waters and the rise of restorative reproductive medicine, and the courtroom showdown over abortion pill reversal, where the abortion lobby's star witness is crumbling under cross-examination. Then, in the final segment, John and Kathryn push back on the "toxic empathy" discourse. If pro-lifers become the movement known for being against empathy, we've lost the plot. They'll know we are Christians by our love, from the sidewalk to the Obria clinic in Fresno.

Republicans don't haven an exit ramp. Instead, they have a traffic circle with a lot of honking.And while Republicans absolutely have internal disagreement, they don't show the same pattern of sustained high-profile capital permanently relocating into the Democratic donor universe.That's the key distinction.One side is experiencing visible exits from elite donors.The other side is experiencing friction without mass departure.And yes, there are moments where Republican donors cool off or pause.But pause is not the same thing as departure.A paused checkbook can reopen.A relocated checkbook usually doesn't come back with interest.Now layer in the infrastructure.Because this is where it stops being about personalities and starts being about plumbing.Democrats still have one of the most powerful fundraising engines in modern politics. Small-dollar digital fundraising is fast, efficient, and deeply embedded in the system.But the broader environment around it is getting more complicated.Scrutiny is increasing around political fundraising pathways, nonprofit-linked funding structures, and the flow of money through organizations that sit adjacent to campaigns.And whether that scrutiny is fair, political, or overdue depends on who you ask.But donors don't wait for consensus.Donors react to friction.And friction, in financial language, is just another word for hesitation.Meanwhile, Republicans are operating with a different balance sheet reality.Not perfect dominance. Not uniform advantage.But a relatively stable high-dollar donor base, plus selective inflows from outside traditional Republican circles, especially from parts of tech and finance that once defaulted Democratic.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Democrats are watching their own party tear itself apart right now, and the fighting inside is uglier than anything they want to admit on television. When MAGA moved in and took over the Republican side, it was a straight-up battle royale. Trump came out on top three times, and that last one made it crystal clear who runs the show. America First stopped being talk and turned into the actual rulebook. They cleaned house on the establishment types, got rid of the Romneys and McConnells who kept steering the party into the same old ditches, and zeroed in on stuff that hits home with eighty percent of regular folks—securing the border, sending illegals home, cutting crime, and bringing manufacturing jobs back where they belong. Those wins keep stacking up because they match what most Americans want. In the 250th year of this country, that approach is firing people up instead of turning them off.The Democrats never went through anything like that reckoning. They're still pretending they can paper over the cracks while different factions pull in opposite directions. No obvious leader steps up when you ask. Is it Mamdani, the socialist mayor of New York who's done next to nothing but gets handed the biggest stage? Or somebody else? That vacuum tells you everything. One side figured out how to fight smart, purge what wasn't working, and deliver results.

There is no shortage of stories reminding us of one very important fact about the modern Left:They are incredibly committed to learning absolutely nothing.It's almost impressive. At this point, refusing to learn has become a core competency. If there were a college degree in “Ignoring Reality While Demanding Reality Apologize,” half of Washington would graduate with honors.And the bill for that stubbornness is coming due.A new national survey from I&I/TIPP, a pollster with a strong track record of accurately projecting presidential election outcomes, shows President Donald Trump's standing improving heading into July. The interesting part isn't just Trump's numbers. It's where the movement is happening.Republicans are consolidating. Independents are moving. And Democrats?Well, let's just say the political weather forecast is calling for more internal thunderstorms.The phrase used in the report was that “Democratic views worsened.”That is one of those polite phrases you see in political reporting. It's like saying a restaurant's food was “interesting” when everyone at the table is quietly reaching for the antacid.Democrats aren't just having a bad week. They're having the kind of identity crisis where the GPS says, “Recalculating,” but even the GPS sounds exhausted.And this is the part that should concern Democrats: they still seem to think the problem is messaging.No.The problem is that voters are looking around and saying, “Wait a minute. The people telling us how the world works don't seem to have noticed the world.”That's a dangerous place for any political party.Because voters can forgive mistakes. They can forgive bad ideas. They can even forgive politicians being politicians.But voters do not like being treated like they're too stupid to notice what's happening.And Democrats are finding out that voters have eyes.They see the economy. They see public safety. They see immigration. They see government institutions that have spent years telling them one thing while reality keeps filing complaints.Speaking of reality, we have to talk about some of the issues where the Left expected the public to stay permanently angry.Remember when enforcing immigration laws was supposed to be political poison?Apparently not.We were told that any serious enforcement of immigration laws would create some kind of national uprising. But as enforcement ramps up, the reaction from many Americans seems less like outrage and more like, “Wait, you mean the government is actually enforcing the law?”Imagine that.It turns out there are people who believe a country should know who is entering it. Wild concept. Somewhere a bureaucrat just dropped his coffee because he heard someone say the word “border” without immediately adding a 47-page disclaimer.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Folks, there's never a shortage of material when Leftism decides to put on a full-court press of crazy. Today's no different.We start with former NFL linebacker Jason Short, now accused of being a racist. In this day and age that charge gets tossed around like a bad handoff on fourth-and-one. Buckle up—we're going to take a look at this one because, trust me, the laughs are already writing themselves.Then there's Andrew Gillum, the man who came within a whisker of becoming governor of Florida. He just got himself arrested for dope. I'm not saying the state dodged a bullet… but did Florida dodge a bullet or WHAT? We'll check the scoreboard on what he's been up to since that narrow loss to DeSantis and see how the “almost governor” chapter is playing out.Over on the international side, Iran is back doing what Iran does best—acting like the neighborhood bully who keeps getting surprised when somebody finally punches back. This country has been a rolling disaster for decades, and I'm glad the guy in charge right now isn't treating them like a diplomatic science project. President Trump is putting another whoopin' on these folks, and he's calling them exactly what they are: liars and crazy. [X] SB – Pres Trump calls Iranians liarsIran's apparent game plan? Stretch this thing out until the midterms so Democrats can use it as campaign fuel. Good luck with that strategy.Word is Trump's also been giving Italian Prime Minister Meloni the business. That's not going to end well for her. Expect the back-channel calls to start immediately and a very public olive branch to show up in the next couple of weeks. She'll figure it out.Meanwhile, Trump is out here doing what he does—kicking over tables and making people deal with the consequences.In Florida a federal judge just reversed a ruling from Judge Sparkle Sooknanan—yes, Sparkle—who had blocked the federal government from using SSN searches and bulk uploads to verify citizenship on voter rolls. That roadblock just got removed. At the same time we're finally deporting people who've been treating America like an all-you-can-eat buffet they never intended to pay for.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Just stop for a moment and take in what's happening across the country right now. Conservatism isn't merely resurging — it's conducting a full forensic audit on the left's greatest hits, and the findings are hilarious.Start with the good stuff. Trump Accounts are live, giving kids — especially black and brown kids — a real shot at building generational wealth. The same guy the media spent eight years calling a raging racist is out here potentially turning minority children into millionaires. And what will the Democrats do once those kids cash in? Tax the hell out of them to fund another round of drag queen story hours and “equity” consultants. It's the circle of leftist life: Trump builds the ladder, Democrats show up to kick it over and charge rent on the rungs.Speaking of people who think they're above the law, meet Zohran Mamdani, the mayor who announced he won't let ICE arrest illegal immigrants in his city. Trump's reply was chef's kiss: “Then we'll arrest him.” The irony is thicker than Newsom's hair gel. The sanctuary-city tough guy who wants to shield lawbreakers from federal enforcement suddenly discovers that “sanctuary” doesn't come with diplomatic immunity for himself. Try playing border cop from city hall and see how fast the feds flip the script.Team Trump is also cleaning house on the judicial side. Articles of impeachment have been filed against foreign-born activist Judge Sparkle Sooknanan for blocking efforts to keep illegal immigrants from voting. Sparkle. A federal judge named Sparkle. Sounds less like jurisprudence and more like the headliner at a Reno casino revue. The left spent years screaming about “threats to democracy,” yet here they are defending judges who weaponize the bench to protect non-citizen voting. The hypocrisy is so thick you could spread it on toast.Now for RINO theater. Mitch McConnell has finally been exposed as the political corpse he's been for years. The establishment kept him upright like a Weekend at Bernie's routine — or should we call it Weekend at Biden's? Now sources confirm he's braindead and on life support. With actual Americans running things, his wife is suddenly getting the full investigative treatment.

Isn't it fun watching Democrats and other Leftists?[X] SB – Young woman gives rundown of Democratshttps://www.mediaite.com/politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-deletes-post-attacking-platner-accuser-for-doing-rape-for-politics/Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene lashed out on social media at a woman who accused Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner of rape.Greene has since deleted her post.In a piece published on Monday, 41-year-old Jenny Racicot told Politico that she met Platner on a dating app in 2019 and had consensual relations with him before he forced himself on her one night in 2021 when Platner came to her house after she texted him not to. Racicot said Platner, who she said reeked of alcohol, raped her despite her repeated objections.Here's what everyone knows happened: Graham Platner had lots of baggage yesterday, including allegations from other women. One more woman got added to the pile. Yes, it was a serious allegation. But he had plenty of other disqualifying allegations before - including that tattoo, being a Communist member of DSA, spousal and girlfriend misconduct, and others. I'm going to place my bet on what actually happened. Democratic leadership got spooked - not because of any particular accusation, but because of the DSA backlash threatening to take over their own party. They knew your Senate race is a critical key to taking over Congressional control. They'd either have to spend a whole electional season defending why they're backing a Communist, or … they could take the most convenient next item in a long list of disqualifying-in-any-sane-world criteria that you'd already racked up.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
I spoke of the money leaving Democrats, and the DSA message isn't helping the cause. For the record, Socialist don't usually have much money, except for Bernie Sanders and other so-called “Democrats” in Congress and elsewhere who have gotten rich off doing nothing.You can tell a lot about a political party by who writes the checks. Forget the polls for a minute. Polls are like New Year's resolutions. They make everybody feel optimistic until February. Money? Money is brutally honest. Money doesn't clap because it likes your speech. Money leaves when it thinks you're about to drive the company bus into a lake.And if you look at the donor migration over the last decade, Democrats have a problem that no amount of blue hair dye can cover up. “FOLLOW THE MONEY, FOLLOW THE ADDRESS CHANGE”If you want to understand American politics, stop staring at the candidates like they're the main event.They're not.They're just the delivery system.The real story is sitting in the back room with the checkbook, deciding whether it still believes in the neighborhood.Because money doesn't argue.

“Why do we lose people raised pro-life to the pro-choice side?” This question opens a discussion on the complexities of belief and autonomy in the abortion debate. Other topics include the argument that bodily autonomy supersedes the right to life and the moral implications of abortion in cases of rape or incest. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 03:25 – Why do we lose people raised pro-life to the prochoice side? 11:10 – I think that bodily autonomy supersedes the right to life. 17:38 – I am pro-choice because we should be able to allow women to abort in the case of rape or incest. 29:15 – Obviously you think abortion is murder. Do you think women who have had abortions should be charged with the same crimes as murderers? 44:25 – This issue is what drove me away from the Catholic faith.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to *The Kevin Jackson Show*. There are politicians who leave fingerprints.Gavin Newsom leaves monograms.If you're surprised that Gavin Newsom is swimming in corruption, you're the same folks who still think the tooth fairy and the Easter Bunny file taxes. Nobody should be surprised when Gavin Newsom's name surfaces around another controversy. What surprises me is how Democrats react every single time. Republicans hear the words "federal investigation" and start interviewing attorneys. Democrats hear "federal investigation" and immediately begin interviewing public relations firms.The statement isn't, "Let's find out what happened."It's, "Who's going on CNN?"What I relish most is watching Democrats defend their corruption the way a mama raccoon defends a dumpster full of week-old takeout — claws out, teeth bared, and zero shame. And now we've got the rest of the story.**The Wiretap Reveal:**The FBI had Gavin Newsom's inner circle wearing wires since June of 2024. That's right — while Newsom was still strutting around pretending to be the future of the Democratic Party, his own longtime Sacramento Democrat, Alexis Podesta — Newsom appointee, power broker, insider for decades — was secretly recording conversations for federal investigators.This isn't some random fishing trip. The probe targeted Newsom's former chief of staff, Dana Williamson. She's already pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud, filing a false tax return, and lying to the FBI. We're talking about siphoning money from a dormant campaign account — the kind of scheme that makes you wonder how many other “dormant” accounts in Sacramento are actually just slush funds with better branding.Phone calls were intercepted. Lobbyists across the capital got letters from the feds telling them their conversations had been recorded. They were stunned. And the wiretap was authorized under the Biden DOJ with a judge's approval. So Newsom can't spin this as some Trump-era gotcha. This was their own house, their own rules, their own people flipping like cheap pancakes.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

One side figured out how to fight smart, purge what wasn't working, and deliver results. The other side is busy arguing over how far left they can go without losing the voters they already hemorrhaged. That's the big picture here. Democrats' internal mess runs deeper than the polite coverage suggests, and it's leaving their whole operation looking shaky.A couple of facts that cut through the spin: Gallup's latest numbers show only about 39 percent of all Americans view socialism positively, but inside the Democratic Party that jumps way higher—around 66 percent like what they hear.

Javier Milei, the president of Argentina said:“I THOUGHT BEING ON THE LEFT WAS A MENTAL PROBLEM. THE EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE IS SO OVERWHELMING THAT IT NEVER WORKED ANYWHERE, AND THEY REFUSED TO ACCEPT IT.”“BUT WHAT I DISCOVERED IS THAT BEING ON THE LEFT IS A DISEASE OF THE SOUL. THE LEFT IS BUILT ON ENVY, HATRED, RESENTMENT, AND UNEQUAL TREATMENT UNDER THE LAW. THEY ARE VERY VIOLENT, AND SINCE THEY HAVE NO WAY OR ARGUMENTS TO ANSWER, THEY GO FOR PHYSICAL VIOLENCE.”I don't think I've heard a more divisive commentary on American than the Muslim communist that NY elected as mayor.I LOVED that Mamdani took time during America's 250th birthday to talk much smack about our country.Mamdani will do more to expose the Muslim infiltration of America than any single person. He will be the undoing of the Left.The 250th anniversary comes at a cataclysmic time in our history. Leftism had sank its fangs into our culture, and I have highlighted the many examples,Before I explain why we should be happy about what Mamdani did, and bad things are for Democrats because of him, let me give you other news that happened over the weekend.'Over the July 4th weekend, busloads of Somalis were flown from Minneapolis back to their shithole country. And many more will follow.Newsom is in BIG trouble…FBI mole.Pedophilia for them is the norm. And when they are not sexualizing children, they are encouraging their demented mental health with sex changes.If Joe Biden represented anything for Democrats and Leftists, it's that like him, they are happy to be deranged.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the show—where sharp comedy cuts through the noise, and unapologetic conservatism fuels the fire. This is your daily dose of truth with a punchline, because loving America isn't just allowed—it's required.The 250th anniversary of the United States of America. Even the Brits are quietly glad we kicked their butts 250 years ago after seeing what we built. Who wouldn't celebrate this great country? A nation that survived two world wars, economic storms, and at least two spectacularly clueless presidents: Barack Obama and Joe Biden. If we can survive those two clowns, we can survive anything—including the mess they left behind.I was already energized about our country, but this weekend I had to reroute some of that power straight to the grid. Melissa dragged me out to Hoover Dam hours before sunset to watch that massive flag light up—the one the size of a football field, draped across that engineering marvel for America250. I grumbled the whole drive—until we hit the bridge. Truckers blasting horns, cars joining in, people from every corner of the world standing shoulder to shoulder, speaking every language. Pure, electric American pride. We left around 8:45, and there was already a three-mile backup of folks who wouldn't make it. Melissa looked at me and said, “See? I told you!” She was right. And from what I hear, it's packed like that every night.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
I've seen companies kill products. I've seen politicians kill careers. But watching people try to kneecap the very thing making them relevant? That's an entirely different level of self-sabotage. That's not shooting yourself in the foot. That's hiring a marching band to provide the soundtrack while you do it.For years the league needed that one transcendent star. Somebody who could move ratings, sell jerseys, fill arenas, and get people arguing at Thanksgiving dinner about pick-and-roll defense. Success arrives carrying flowers, and somebody immediately starts looking for the return receipt.It feels like the office finally hires the employee who doubles profits, and management responds by assigning her a desk in the parking lot.If she leaves the WNBA today, she might play in the men's league. For sure, her future is SET.Not that long ago, the WNBA featured some obscure women that nobody knows, refusing to promote their best-known player.Sports aren't unique, either. Politics does the exact same thing, as Democrats are trying with Trump.A politician wins and 30% of the country lose their minds. This despite all his successes.Nobody gets to simply be... good. You're either saving civilization or personally responsible for humidity.We've become a nation where every accomplishment comes with an asterisk and a congressional investigationSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In this episode, we welcome Seth Gruber back to the studio. He is a Pro-Life advocate, author, and filmmaker. He is the creator of “The 1916 Project” book and film and his new book and film “The Last Stand”. In this interview, we discuss why the end of America as we know it is closer than we think, the incalculable impact of Charlie Kirk, how we have gone from the “militant church” to the “flatulent church” and soon to the “irrelevant church”, how modern Big Fertility connects to the moral failure of the Roman Empire, the role that abortion and gay marriage plays in our downfall, why the West is underestimating the murderous religion of Islam, and much more.
