Donald Trump's Recent Abortion Comments Draw Fire From Left and Right, with Ric Grenell

let's talk about Trump and his abortion comments because he was asked by NBC in Michigan whether he's going to vote for a Florida law Florida made its abortion limit six weeks but there's a ballot measure in Florida and Nevada and Arizona this November to try to get Democrats to the polls and they're hoping to vote for kamla and other Dems that would expand the abortion procedure the abortion limits in Florida to be Beyond row levels I to 24 weeks they say viability which is 24 to 28 weeks that you can have an abortion up to and there's a he a health exception for the mother which any prolifer will tell you entirely swallows the ban any kind sort of ban you can find doctors who in the ninth month will say the mother's mental health requires an abortion so this is why pro lifers are recoiling in response to this amendment and Trump was asked about it by this reporter do we have it um his comments yes we do right here it is so 19 and you want abortion to be a state's rights issue in Florida the state that you are a resident of there's an abortion related Amendment on the ballot to overturn the six week ban in Florida how are you going to vote on that well I think the six week is too short uh it has to be more time and so that's and I've told them that I want more weeks so you'll vote in favor of the amendment I'm I'm voting that I am going to be voting that we need more than 6 weeks so he doesn't say he's going to vote for this amendment but he says I'm voting that we we need more than six weeks which I don't think is an option I think it's either you vote for the amendment or you don't but in any event now the campaign is trying to walk it back a bit Rick saying he wasn't saying he's in favor of the amendment and you know the left is having some some making some hay out of this saying he doesn't know where he stands he's a flip-flopper just like just like they say kamla is and then the pro-life side has spoken out quite a bit about this saying oh my like what is he doing well first of all you won't be surprised I'm not an expert on abortion but let me give you my opinion I I'm so thankful that Donald Trump uh has let this up to the states I think it's the right decision to not have a federal uh ban or uh some sort of a law that would mandate it federally what I do love is that there's an acquiescence to the states what works in some states doesn't work in others and so I think the media is correct in trying to say to president Trump you live in Florida how are you going to vote but one thing that we know is absolutely uh certain Donald Trump is pro-life look what he's done to the Supreme Court we I I do know that uh through my 25 years in politics pro-life Community has been asking to overturn roie Wade every single president promised to go after that and do that and there's only one that was able to do that and that's Donald Trump and so he's demonstrated that he is absolutely pro-life these questions now as we get into the details are very difficult and I think Donald Trump has been very respectful about the process and is now saying uh let's just make sure that the Democrats don't play games here we should have some guard rails but let the states figure out those guard rails well he's gotten articles like this from National Review uh Trump stabs Florida Pro lifers in the front uh they're unhappy about this and about the fact that he also said he wants he's going to put um some policy in place that mandates coverage of IVF either by the government or by insurance companies look those of us who are pro IVF it it sounds good in theory but how are we going to pay for that this sounds like an Obamacare mandate and Trump kind of veers sometimes toward big government which isn't great uh you know big spending bottomless you know bags of cash which we don't have look what what I would say about the ibf issue is that we definitely have a population problem if you dig deep into some of our labor issues and the future of the United States we have to have a labor force we have to have birth rates that go up and we're struggling with that a lot of countries around the world are struggling with that and so being able to you utilize technology in order to increase our birth rates through IVF I think it's fantastic we should celebrate technology God gave us the ability to use technology I grew up Evangelical Christian and I can tell you every single person in my family and there are a lot of Evangelical ministers support the idea that IVF is allowing families to be able to have kids utilizing the technology and the brain power that God gave us to be able to expand their family and and have uh you know a celebration of life right it's just and I don't mean to diminish your statement because there are some Republicans who disagree with that who don't like IVF because it creates embryos that may or may not get used but IVF costs about 20,000 bucks a cycle there were about 390,000 of them just in 2022 that averages out to about 7.8 billion ion uh for just that one year so where are we going to get the money right where are we going to get the money we're going to make the government pay we're going to make private insurance pay that's going to jack up prices and um premiums and you know it sounds to many just like a an empty campaign promise meant to shore up his vote with the women Rick well what let's let's be honest about one thing Donald Trump doesn't do empty campaign promises I could go through the list of foreign policy promises that he uh promised in the camp campaign and delivered when other people didn't and so I would take it to the bank that if Donald Trump says something he's going to deliver on it he's not a politician he is somebody who is thoughtful and I can tell you being in the Oval Office with him when there are big issues he's not thinking about partisan politics he is literally the guy who wants to find a solution to the problems and a lot of times as this example shows he's the guy that doesn't stick with whatever the partis lingo is he's looking at the situation and he's tries to say okay what's the solution he does get in trouble that he is not a partisan on all of these issues I'll give you that what do you make of the fact that you know Dasha Burns of NBC gets in Trump's face to ask him about a voter ballot initiative where Trump lives in Florida and I saw you raising this point on X what's kamla Harris's home state again my state of California and and she didn't say anything about the debacle that we just had two nights ago about reparations where Democrats promised black people in California that they would be paid for uh all of these problems of the past they promised them Megan for a year and a half we've been telling they've been telling the black voters in California you are going to get paid we've had Story upon story about it in the LA Times and the Sacramento be and then in the dead of night when it was time for a vote what did they do they pulled it they said we're not voting on it and people are Furious about the the the being duped they literally used black people in California for a year and a half to pretend like we've got something coming for you and and by the way let's re let's also State very clearly the Democrats have a super majority in Sacramento they don't even they can't be stopped by Republicans uh the state senate the State Assembly and the governor Gavin Newsome are all Democrats in a super majority and they can do anything they want they pulled the bill and people are Furious it's a big story in California and our media is still not covering it if you're tired of the same old coffee from those Mega corporations pushing their woke agendas listen up it's time to take a stand
