It's a battle out there. You know that. That doesn't mean you should hide or avoid the battle. In the political world, and the question of whether laws will protect vulnerable live, lives are at stake.
Don't drop out or shrink back from your responsibility to ensure that the vulnerable are protected. As a citizen it is your responsibility, and substituting emotional feeling-stuff instead of speaking up about your own laws is not facing the reality of the times in which we live.
As in our previous program, Brian uses the very specific election of 2018 to actually examine deeper, ongoing issues that tend to come up in most elections. Failure to understand these deeper issues only ensures that you will be confused about what to do the next time around.
Brian examines the most important race in California and how attempts by 'deep state players,' many of them billionaires from out of state, have been specifically designed to mislead and alienate pro-life voters. In California's primary system, only the top two go on to the fall ballot. These top two can actually be of one party, greatly limiting the choice of voters in November. In a state like California, if the Republicans should split their vote and the top Republican is prevented from being in the top two, because Republican votes were also siphoned off to other candidates, then two Democrats would be the only choice in the fall - in this case Mayor Gavin Newsom of San Francisco and Mayor Anthony Villaraigosa of Los Angeles, both pro-abortion, leftist Democrats.
A minor assemblyman is getting millions in out-of-state support to declare he is pro-life, even though he avoided the pro-life issue like the plague. Millions are being spent to suck votes away from the committed and solid pro-life candidate John Cox.
Brian tells how to determine when a candidate is lying to you for their own gain. The first rule is to look at what their commitments have been. The best indicator of what someone will do, is to look at what they have done.
If they are sorry for their past errors, it is possible to get them to renew commitments, but not to 'say words.' They need to commit to specific policies. John Cox has been a long-time advocate for life. He has also signed a specific pledge to pro-life policies and to appoint pro-life judges.
Travis Allen's avoidance and even negative votes, as well as his unwillingness to sign a specific pledge to pro-life policies, is an indicator that he is mouthing words in accommodation for the out-of-state players who seek to divide the Republican vote.
On May 14, 2018 the State Fair Political Practices Commission confirmed that the millions in backing Allen has received (much of it from progressive, pro-abortion billionaire Michael Bloomberg) is designed specifically to ensure Republicans split their vote and aid Villaraigosa. The disclaimer required by the FPPC states it expressly. Republicans are being snoockered into 'belief in Allen' for the express purpose of keeping Republicans from having a candidate on the fall ballot.
This is politics. You must learn how to see it clearly and fight in this very real battle of ideas.
Brian mentions other candidates and legislators that explicitly lied about their positions and showed that then by their votes. Congressman Brian Bilbray misrepresented what he would do in office. Right to Life voters opposed him in the next election, he needed them to win and made the deep mistake of lying to them.
Assemblyman Rocky Chavez is another candidate that turned-coat upon being in office. He is now opposed by those whom he turned on.
Politics is about digging deep into the battle of ideas, finding the truth, and fighting for the truth, especially on life, because life matters. The facts are indeed on our side, and facts are terrible things to waste!
