| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Walboater show. This is the intersection of faith and culture. We're taking on those hot topics of the day from a biblical, historical and constitutional perspective. And you found us on Friday, which means it's good news Friday. Rick Green here with David Barton and Tim Parton. and I can't even, I'm glad I don't have your |
| 0:21.4 | jobs, guys, because there's so much good news. How y'all are going to pick what to do today? I don't |
| 0:25.5 | know, but let's just get after it. So what's our first piece of good news? Well, Rick, I want to hit an |
| 0:30.3 | issue that was talked about a lot over the last really four or five months leading up to the election. It goes back to the Republican National Convention back in the summer. |
| 0:39.8 | And so, man, that seems like a long time ago. |
| 0:42.1 | And I guess it was. |
| 0:42.9 | What was that six months ago or seven months ago? |
| 0:45.6 | But at that point in time, it was a real shocker for a lot of conservative Republicans |
| 0:50.0 | that the strong pro-life language came out of the Republican platform. Language has been there |

| 1:14.4 | he came out and said, well, this shouldn't be a federal issue. |
| 1:17.0 | This should be a state issue. |
| 1:18.3 | And, of course, we've disagreed with that saying, no, no, an atlable right is an issue. |
| 1:22.8 | It's a right that goes to every individual. |
| 1:25.8 | It doesn't because you live in a pro-life state, it's because you're |
| 1:28.3 | human. It's like slavery is not a state's rights issue, the right to liberty out of the Declaration |
| 1:34.2 | of Independence. That belongs to every individual. And so there was a lot of people really concerned |
| 1:39.5 | about Trump not going to be pro-life anymore. And it looked like it was not going to be that in his |
| 1:43.8 | administration. And I had a different take not going to be that in his administration. |
| 1:44.7 | And I had a different take back then. |
