Media Matters has the transcript: CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): So, Matt, can you comment on the conservative movement and some Republicans that have been telling us they’re pro-life and they’re being revealed they’re actually not very pro-life, especially in this last week, the last couple days where people say, well, I’m not that pro-life.

“The word ‘Christian’ means ‘Like Christ,’ and it was given to the followers of Christ because they acted just like Jesus. Remember those bracelets from the 2000s that asked, ‘WWJD?’ If Jesus Christ led Trinity, would HE have an Autism Awareness Week? Of course not! Why?

“Killing babies is always wrong. President Trump is not a pro-life candidate. He’s far less pro-abortion than Biden, but he supports killing some preborn children and will even make that his position in an attempt to get pro-abortion votes. “Mario Cuomo was infamous for popularizing the framework of being ‘personally pro-life, but politically pro-choice.’ “Former President Trump has taken this …

“Throughout the Bible we see solar and lunar eclipses connected to events that surround major turning points on the timeline of mankind with most having to do with the end of time.

“We are deeply disappointed in President Trump’s position. Unborn children and their mothers deserve national protections and national advocacy from the brutality of the abortion industry.
