I recently watched a group of women who had abortions. They were speaking with doctors who had performed abortions. Both groups felt repentant about what they had done. The details of an abortion are so gruesome..it shocks the mind, and breaks the heart and soul. It seriously is akin to the atrocities of WWII. As a society we need to do better in supporting women who feel they have no other option. We also need to make abortion illegal, only in cases on rape, incest, and life of the mother. This practice of abortion is a horror that I can only imagine is kindling God's anger.
Hes living to you and if it's fine for women to bleed out with a baby. She wanted The doctor told her your not close to dieing so l can't do anything if your fine with that you are one cruel women. More women r telling their story. It never surprises how how uneducated people r
She's made it clear that she sees the 1st and 2nd Amendments as obstacles that need to be overcome. Along with the electoral college and the supreme court.
Harris has made it clear that she FULLY supports the 1st and 2nd Amendments, and you're being dishonest by saying she doesn't. The electoral college will be voted out and scrapped, as was the ban on women's and black citizen's right to vote.
The shift of some later-day saints to the left is beyond comprehension for me. Each politician has made their stance on abortion clear. That issue alone should make clear who we should support. There are many other issues that make the choice clear like you talked about. I’ve been hearing from latter-day saints that they have issues with Trump’s rhetoric as the main reason they are voting for Kamala. That logic makes no sense, if anything you should just not vote for either. At least that way you can be ideologically consistent.
Low information voters. They listen to rhetoric and skim headlines to form their political opinions, there are some in my own family and it drives me nuts, too. When you look at the platforms, you cannot support the policies of the Left and be able to honestly say you do not support or sympathize with groups or organizations that are contrary to the church doctrines.
It is one of the most weak minded arguments there is. There is always rhetoric in politics. They’re trying to get a message across. That’s called being a lazy learner. Look at history. It’s there. You can see where the proposed policies lead as they have been done before. And sorry, but the policies of the left don’t hold up in reality.
It's not Trump's rhetoric that makes me not vote for him... it's the raping. And the sexual assault, and the infidelity, and the embezzling, and the cheating, and the lying, and the disrespect for military and police, and the disdain for the poor, etc, etc, etc. He brags about breaking every single one of the 10 commandments and says he's never done anything he needs to repent of. But yeah, I guess his rhetoric is bad too.
I think it is a case of being sold a bunch of disinformation and hate by the media. The comment " I can't vote for a convicted felon." Did they forget Joseph Smith was charged in 30 criminal cases and as many civil cases and was pronounced guilty in at least one?
Trump has my vote, pro life,pro boarder control, knows the different between a man and a woman the list goes on, it's great to live in a country where we have a choice, get out and vote.
The best argument against Kamala on religious freedom is her bill the "Do no harm" act, which would literally force our church to fall in line on LGBTQ issues.
@wadewixom7029 do you think we can survive 4 more years of immigration and sending money to foreign countries with our taxes and not taking care of the citizens in this country though?
@@wadewixom7029 yes we can. We not only survived 4 years with him prior, we thrived. Life was good. And now we have the federal government forcing boys into my daughters bathroom at school. Im voting Trump. Its easy.
Maybe consider the "Muslim ban" that Trump attempted to implement that was so against religious freedom that the leaders of our church had to come out with a public statement against it.
I love your show and I agree with your points, but I disagree 100% with the comment on election fraud. There is plenty of evidence of coordinated voter fraud and I could list several things here. It's not my intention to start arguments but I think that subject is far from settled.
I wholeheartedly agree. There were many witnesses in several states who testified of fraud. As a Christian and as a Latter-day Saint whose religion is based on the power of testimony, this means a lot to me. Most of these witnesses' testimonies were downplayed or ignored by the courts and media, which reminded me of how the testimonies of the saints against their persecutors in Missouri were ignored by the media and the courts. If we believe in witnesses such as the early apostles who testified of Christ's resurrection, and the witnesses of the Book of Mormon, why are there Latter-day Saints who scoff at the many witnesses who claimed they saw fraud happening in the 2020 election?
@@Omhikmat Excellent point! Also for the record, the courts refused to hear EF cases on the basis of "lack of standing" not on the basis of the evidence, which they never even looked at. From the Cornell Law School site: "Standing, or locus standi, is the capacity of a party to bring a lawsuit in court. To have standing, a party must demonstrate a sufficient connection to and harm from the law or action being challenged." Pretty lame argument from the courts, but they all fell in line. Pretty weak, indeed.
@@Omhikmat I have been a county election official where I live for every election for almost 20 years - until now. Because of Gavinator New-scum making it so that a vote-by-mail ballot is sent to literally everyone in the state, he has completely opened the door for illegal voting! My position was called a "Roving inspector" and my responsibility was to go around to various the precincts to which I was assigned and make sure that they were doing everything according to law and correct procedures and now that position no longer exists. I went to vote in person yesterday and one of the higher up County election officials that is still working, saw me and said, "what are you doing on that side of the table?" We both had a sort of "sad chuckle" about it.
Absolutely! Truth, integrity, and the Constitution are all great values-too bad they often seem to get lost in the noise of political rhetoric. Let’s hope we can actually start seeing those principles reflected in our leaders’ actions, not just in catchy slogans!
I'm not even US citizen, but I have NEVER understood why many Americans say "I'm democrat" or "I'm republican" who in the world would vote for a political party and not for a candidate? voting should be per-candidate-basis not political party....
Some vote for the "policies" not an individuals (that come and go). Policies effect everyone and either "give" or "take away" things (regardless of the personality of that person). That is the difference between the democrats (voting for the person) vs repulicans (mostly voting for the policies - that effect our nation). One party gives freedom, the other...wants to regulate, fine, tax, punish, discriminate, abort, etc.
We vote for schools, city, county, state, federal, politicians, sheriff's, treasures, board members, etc. We have so many elections that we need a party to simplify the least important ones out. Most people don't vote party for high office like president. All the other times 2 party is all you need.
Agreed, but the current system separates this into stages. You vote for the individual in the primary elections within each party (and you have to choose one party first), then you choose between party nominees in the general election. It's not a good system, because it forces you into a party paradigm at both stages.
Each party has an official platform. It’s a detailed description of their policy positions. The Republican Party is a FAR better representative of Christian values than the Democrat party. That is why I do not hesitate in saying I VOTE REPUBLICAN.
It is sad that even among LDS members there is devision on this topic. The adversary is working overtime on this one and seems to be gaining some ground.. I hope that we can stand up and save our country and our constitution. We have been taught and seems reasonable that we vote for the person who’s views align more with ours, and that is what I must do. For me? it has to be Trump/Vance
@LG-lz1bp I completely understand where you are coming from. It's difficult to see members forget the importance of our country and how America 🇺🇸 is intertwined with our faith! The gospel was restored in America 🇺🇸 for a reason ! America has been called the new Jerusalem by many apostles. There is something very special ✨️ ❤️ about the land of the free and home of the brave. This is our Zions camp, and we need to stand up for our constitutional and freedom's. Religious freedom is being challenged all over the world. And it will come to America 🇺🇸 one day! I hear many members say that Trump has flaws and he's a horrible person and that he doesn't know God. But the truth of the matter is no one could possibly know how Trump feels about his relationship with Heavenly Father. I can't believe the prideful manner in which some members judge Trump! Alma, the younger did things that went against the gospel, and later, he returned to God! I went and saw Trump in Coachella California the crowd was incredibly large and happy to see him! God uses imperfect people to accomplish his work! None of us are perfect, and we never will be here on earth. 🙏🏻✨️It's beyond sad hearing members bad mouth Trump, only to be in favor of KAMALA, who has been running on abortion! Killing God's children is not okay! I stay close to my friends in the church that ❤️ America and the Lord. ✨️🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸🗽🎇Have a great evening!
100% agree. Watch what Glenn Beck has to say about it. He's a great Latter-day Saint, and he said in a fireside, we as Latter day Saints will be held accountable by God who we vote for!
I agree! Some people so hung up Trumps lack or morals in his personal life, when they should be focused on his policies. Just because he treats others poorly, is abrasive, is dishonest when it suits him, is willing to say just about anything for his own benefit regardless if whether it is truthful, has chastity issues, is divisive, and arrogant, doesn’t mean he can’t be a great leader for the right. Just like with our church leaders, we shouldn’t focus on who they are and the example they set in their personal lives, we should just stick to the doctrine they teach. It actually gives me hope that despite all of my weaknesses, the Lord can still use imperfect people to advance the gospel.
When I was 19 I was forced into having an abortion. Through out the whole procedure I cried and prayed to heavenly father for forgiveness and asked him to send my baby back to me when I could take care of her . Having the abortion was like having my soul ripped to shreds. I have never been the same. My heart still hurts for my sweet baby. I can only pray that I will be able to see her when I die. I do have 3 children and I'm sill very close to them. They know about Jamie that sweet baby that I was forced to abort. If Roe versus Wade had not been in place. Jamie would be here with me and her sisters and brother.. I was forced to do this unthinkable thing because of my Mother.. Yes I have forgiven her, but the pain will never go away... 😥
Very touching story and thank you for being vulnerable. It’s often the most difficult to forgive ourselves of our mistakes. I pray that you may find that peace in your life as I’m sure you’ve been fully forgiven by Heavenly Father.
@@queenaranel6060 I'm so sorry for your loss. The mothers are the often forgotten victims of abortion. Your daughter and your Heavenly Father know your heart. ❤️
@queenaranel6060 Heavenly Father love's you still, nothing will change that! I'm so sorry you're Mom didn't see you're baby as the miracle she was and the joy of becoming a grandmother! Know that God is with you always! God has forgiven you by blessing you with more children❗️❤️🙏🏻
This video was fantastic. I am a legal immigrant who recently became a US citizen. I live in Rexburg, Idaho and I am astonished at how many of my neighbors who are faculty and staff at BYU-Idaho--including former bishops and current religion professors--have "Harris-Walz" signs in front of their houses. I love and respect them but I can't help wondering what is going on in their heads and hearts that are supporting a political party with such harmful policies.
The only explanation I can suggest is that academia all over the free world is immersed in leftist views ('progressive', if you prefer) and these views have become deep-rooted in even the most well-meaning of people.
@@mercedesbeard6974 Wait what? He's a good and decent man? I'm confident that not one LDS guy you know has cheated on every wife they've had, been found liable for sexual abuse, caught on tape discussing grabbing women by the private parts and having his way with them, or instigated an insurrection and watch for hours while it unfolded, or created false electors, or conspired to overturn his defeat in the state of Georgia, or made hush payments to an adult-film actress and found guilty of falsifying business records.
@@mercedesbeard6974 Yeah, that's a stretch. I am voting for him, but that's just not real. He's ok and does some ok stuff. But his character flaws are pretty serious. He's just not trying to control everone and take away their individual liberty like Kamala is.
Thank you for this. I hope every Latter-day Saint hears it. It is a wasted vote to vote for a third party candidate and Kamala does not stand for the things that we have been taught all our lives. I appreciate your courage!
I have not shared any political videos or made any political posts on social media this entire election season. But this was so well-executed and portrays how each candidate stands on the issues so well that this will be my one and only political share this year! Thanks for making such a clear-cut, well-thought out and concise comparison. The choice is obvious.
It's great to see you've found a video that resonates with you, but let’s be honest: calling it a “clear-cut” comparison might be a bit generous. It sounds more like a one-sided infomercial than an unbiased analysis. Maybe instead of sharing just this “one and only” political post, you could challenge yourself to dig a little deeper into the complexities of each candidate and their positions. Just a thought-after all, voting is a big deal, not a box to check off after a single share!
I was too young to vote in 2015, when my Trump ran against Clinton, but in the 2020 elections, when I was able to vote, my dad told me to vote for Trump instead of Biden. I didn't understand, seeing as how we were Mexican-Americans and the Democratic Party is usually the ones who help us. But my dad explained to me that during the times Trump was president, he and the President of Mexico had a great partnership and that Mexico was better for it, but it wasn't because Trump was a good person, so was the President of Mexico. My dad told me that while Obama was president for 8 years, Mexico had several problems. The cartel had risen up thanks to several policies that Obama made, and it became dangerous to be in certain cities in Mexico. For example, when I went to Culiacan, Sinaloa, to visit my grandma during summer breaks, I would often see trunks of armed military patrolling the streets. Yet, it was relatively safe because they were there, but eventually, my family had to stop going there. . .until 2017. Trump has my vote. He may be brash, but his policies and actions speak louder than his words. He has helped this nation and others as well. And not only that, in 2018, Trump even visited my small town by the Mexican border in 2018, to oversee the border patrol and even the military base we have here. He may not be infallible, but he sure is doing his best.
Yes, and maybe also consider that the 25 worst cities in America have been run by Democrats for decades, and the 25 best cities are mostly Republican run. Utah has also been named the best state to live in for the past two years and is usually in the top 5. Democrat cities and states are just not a functional or prosperous. This point has never changed.
@recsporteducation4594 except many Republican run states are ranked worst in the US for crime, poverty, education, and quality of life. What have conservative policies done for Mississippi, Alabama, Oaklahoma, West Virginia, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Arizona, and Tenessee? They all accept much more in government money than they give back, and still have lower quality of life than most states run with more liberal policies.
@@NoTimeForWargames An excellent point, and I'm glad you bring up those states. But you're making my point more clear. Yes, those states struggle a lot. Yet, they are very good places to live. Over the past 5 years, mass migration out of Democrat run states have seen citizens fleeing to those Republican states you mention. And where is the crime, poverty, etc. all centered in those states? It's centered in their largest cities; cities run by guess who, Democrats. Yes, Democrats have strongholds in those places. Even Texas is a good example. A well run prosperous state, but it has more debt than California. Why? Because its two largest Democrat populations suck the resources of the state dry!
This podcast was probably the very best podcast. I have listened to this entire election season. You stated my views to a T. I am going to share this video because it was so effective and powerful to me and promoting my very feelings that you discussed. Thank you so very much for the time you took to post this video. I hope that people can see the underlying views just like you expressed. Thank you. I was hoping we would have another choice between presidents, especially when it was just Trump and Biden. But when Kamala Harris came into the picture, I was even more shocked how she got into the position that she got into and I hope with all my heart that America will vote and stand against, the things that are taking place under blind eyes. Thank You again for sharing this information.
. . . Except for that part about caring for the poor (King Benjamin), loving your enemies, living the law of chastity, honesty and burying your weapons.
Obviously, I and MANY of my Latter-day Saint friends, have voted for Harris, the obvious choice to support democracy and liberty over a very old, senile insurrectionist, convicted criminal, rapist and malignant liar.
At this point I feel that it is nearly impossible to answer the question of “Do you support or promote any teachings, practices, or doctrine contrary to those of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?” While supporting democrats.
And that's a problem. While we are increasingly seeing conservatism is no guarantee of righteous living, or certain protection against apostasy, I have yet to meet a liberal/progressive member of the Church that has a solid understanding of the Gospel.
I served in the bishopric for years and asked the question many times and was asked, while I voted for Democrats and just voted for Harris, with a clear conscious. I FULLY support a woman's right to choose for her own body, I'm not a fundamentalist Christian Nationalist, that's exactly like the Taliban, forcing women to their religious beliefs. There are NO laws restricting men over their bodies, why do you restrict a woman's? Because of religious ideas. The right to an abortion is not doctrine or teaching, it's a basic human right of free agency which God gave to all.
@RussellFineArt perfect example of a comment above that said progressive Mormons do not understand the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is beyond a horrific take.
I was going to sit this one out. I don't like that man, but I hate what the left stands for and I would never vote for her. I am almost in tears because you spoke to my soul and I know what I need to do.
It's really hard to identify and choose between the lesser of two evils. It is the right thing to do though to avoid a world with a little more darkness than it could have had.
@peace.love.n.blessings Trump has done so many things for the American people! We had world 🌎 peace, and everything was more affordable. He helped black colleges get permanent funding, and our boarders were secured. We had lower gas prices and food prices, interest rates were much lower. Trump helped our veterans receive medical care whenever they needed it! So they don't have to wait to see a doctor! He lowered insulin cost to $60 dollars a month! He also supports our constitutional freedoms and our religious freedom! He also improved our military. These are a few things he did! I know that people say he has flaws, and I don't know why people seem to be so surprised about that, considering none of us are perfect ! And no one will ever be perfect in this life! Alma, the younger, did really bad things, but he changed over time! Trump is a child of God as well and deserves the same grace as we do.
I didn't vote for Trump in 2016. Then I watched what he did during those 4 years. And I noticed the behavior of those who fought against him. With Trump, since I LOVE his policies...I have to follow the saying..."What you DO speaks so loudly I cannot hear what you say."
Linda Just be careful you are listening to his actual words and not the twisted and edited snippets the media puts out there. They are being extremely deceptive and it’s clear they are bought and paid for by the machine.
Me as well. I didn't vote for him in 2016, but I found myself defending him from the ridiculous and vitriolic attacks by the Left out of intellectual honesty. By the time 2020 came around, I had become a supporter. Intelligence is light.
@@lindavancott5261 what he did is attempted a coup, got convicted of a felony, stole classified documents, bragged about sexual assault and buddied up to dictators. My political views are less important than my standards of decency and commitment to the rule of law.
Thank you. This topic definitely needs to be discussed. I don’t know if people understand the story of Sampson in the Old Testament. Are not, we all sinners? We know everything there is to know about President Trump. It’s all been exposed we know who he is. We also see who his kids are. If we all had kids that turned out like President Trump‘s the world would be a better place. I in my lifetime have never seen somebody so antagonized by the media by the left by those who called themselves Americans, I stand with President Trump!
@@michaelhutchings6602 Do you really think if he had something to hide they wouldn't have used it by now to take him out once and for all? With everything else they have tried, wouldn't that be the thing that finally puts him out of the lefts misery?

@meccafilms7673 I personally like Vivek and Tulsi. However, I won't vote for anyone who isn't Christian. In God we trust is on our , we need someone who will support In God we trust in our currency and stand up for religious freedoms! This is just how I feel about it personally in honoring our founding Father's and our country!
@ I somewhat agree. But if I only chose Mormons, who I heavily favor over every Candidates religion, I would end up choosing Romney who I totally dislike. 👎🏽 I just stick with Candidates that acknowledge there’s a God. And so far every candidate on the republican side agrees.
@meccafilms7673 In my opinion, you can't just say you're a member of the church! For me, your actions have to show me that you're a member of the church! Romney has strange views on a lot of things and they don't necessarily align with the gospel! I don't see how he's even a Republican!
The prophet Joseph himself said it best: “I have sworn by the eternal gods that I will never vote for another Democrat again; and I intend to swear my children, putting their hands under the thigh, as Abraham swore Isaac, that they will never vote a Democratic ticket in all their generations. It is the meanest lowest party in all creation…the lowest, most tyrannical beings in the world. They opposed me in Missouri, and were going to shoot me for treason, and I had never committed any treason whatever.” (The Pittsburgh Weekly Gazette, September 15, 1843) - FOLLOW THE PROPHET.
Important to note that a vote for Trump is a vote for his broader team that includes Vivek and Musk as well as RFK and Gabbard. Kind of like buy one, get four free.
I would even say that his brashness and mean tweets make him into a real person instead of a fake. Also, Kamala and Walz have an unending list of lies that they are never asked about.
It’s funny how “brashness” and “mean tweets” are seen as authenticity-like being rude somehow makes you relatable. But hey, if you think that’s what makes someone “real,” then maybe we should all just start airing our dirty laundry on social media too. And as for Kamala and Walz not being questioned, maybe that’s because they focus on policy instead of theatrics. If you want real leadership, how about supporting candidates who prioritize substance over sensationalism? Just a thought!
@@alexmcmurray5262 Wow! ultimate face palm. You think Harris focusses on policy? What are you on? She had No policies listed on her campaign for months. When asked how she was going to implement her ideas, she obfuscates the issue, pivots to talking about her opponent, and avoids questions. She has no actionable policies. She doesn't answer questions. And Waltz is an idiot. He policies on display in his home state have made it a mess. Trumps policies have been posted, stated, and explained over and over, and are on his campaign site, agenda 47. They are good policies. Not only that, we have 4 years of policies from each. The country was objectively better under Trumps admin than under Biden/Harris, by every measurable metric. You're sound like you've been manipulated by state run media.
@@alexmcmurray5262 what policy do they focus on? They want to hide the policy that they support because it is horrible and unpopular. She has attempted to change her views on many issues but everyone knows she doesn’t mean it. Over the past few days she and her party have really shown their true colors by calling half the country fascists, Nazis, and garbage. That is a great way to win support. She is the worst candidate for President in US history or at least the top 3 worst.
Excellent. I’m not as confident as you that there wasn’t significant interference in the last election. I’d love for you to do an episode on how you’ve come to that conclusion. Now….do I share this on my social media? I have plenty of friends who will deem me as being divisive.
Dinesh D'Souza covered all of the interference in his documentary "2000 Mules". The interference was there. I am in AZ before we had a regeim change, our then governor and then attorney general were prosecuting people for voter fraud based on evidence used in this documentary.
I've never been overly animated by politics. Over the years I've had respect and disdain for politicians from both parties. But now it's not about what's good, better, or worse. It is a matter of good versus evil. And I'm firmly behind the person who's fighting for what's right, and for what is good for the US, even if they don't always have the best bedside manner. As for voter fraud, I thought it far-fetched at first, but I'm becoming increasingly convinced that it's happening and is working in the blue states and the swing states to bolster the Democrats. Whatever happens next Tuesday, I pray that God's will be done.
Look at what Trump did January 6, 2020, four people died. Trump said he will terminate parts of the constitution., Trump has promised bloodshed, if he is elected. Any one of the world who does not believe in Trump, he considers garbage ect ect ect.
@kevinbentley3790 Kevin, I'm a member of the church. I just want to share this experience of mine with you! God has always been by my side! I felt God testify to me that the gospel is true at 4 years old. I have been blessed to be sealed in the Temple and to be a Temple worker at a young age. When covid happened, I instantly felt sick to my stomach, I felt evil when it was talked about! I've been sensitive to the spirit from childhood as well! I kept getting feelings of covid being man made. Every day this happened to me! I prayed so hard for guidance on this issue. And did my research it's amazing what you can find out online. Anyways, trust what the spirit tells you and trust your gut! God speaks to all of his children just in different ways! My husband is Mayor of a very small town in California. This has been a huge learning experience for us! The Democrats refuse to work with Republicans and as a result our towns and cities suffer because of it! They don't do their jobs, and they sabotage our campaign events! They reserve all our tickets 🎟 so no one can attend them. And we have a reputable friend that witnessed voter fraud and reported it only to have them tell them they didn't care! I believe they have been cheating for a long time, pushing our country little by little into to there agenda! These are the latter day's and things are changing rapidly. Watching Ezra Taft Benson and all of his talks about America 🇺🇸 is incredibly important to our country. As members of the church our country is intertwined with our faith and knowing policies and praying and fasting are important! I'm voting for TRUMP because I saw him and felt truth from him! He stands up for our constitutional Rights and freedom's!
@ensignmjs7058 We're judged on every choice we make! I'm certain God wouldn't want us to 🗳 Vote for a party that fought to Keep Slavery or a party that 🤔 believes in killing God's children!
I totally disagree with your assesment of Trump's faults! I have great respect for the man, in spite of a few personal traits that are different. He has our backs! He is a man of high integrity and intelligence! Minor differences in his personality are of no consequence. There is a great deal at stake in this election! The constitution is hanging by a thread! At least you focused on the more imortant issues in this case, and recognized that Trump is the only intelligent choice in this Presidential race!
Great analysis brother. We must vote for policy that moves us closer to what’s best for our country and what moves us closer to what the Lord would ask. Vote policy not personality!
@michaelhutchings6602 People can charge anyone with a crime. It doesn't mean it's a conviction. Haven't you followed it. Each charge, each case is slowly falling apart or being dismissed. They just timed it, so it was questionable until the election. Seems they needed that, for some reason.
@@charlesfinn-z4d That cuts both ways. Please consider the things SHE has said and done, and how she has stated there isn’t a thing she would do differently. Trump’s not perfect, far from it, but he has also been _continuously slandered by the democrat-run media since he first won as a Republican._ Harris was not able to gain any substantial following on her own. The media had little to nothing good to say about her until she was suddenly installed (not voted) as the democrat-nominee, and was instantly transformed into Saint Kamala. Please consider how two-faced the media is and do your own research into what both has actually said and done _in the original context,_ and not through the biased (left or right) media filter.
As the son of Tongan LDS immigrants, we have always picked candidates who protect the sanctity of life, the right to religious freedom and any candidate that has practiced rearing up strong families with strong children. The choice is clear in 2024. Trump.
Could Jacob tell us the good things Trump is done since January 6, 2020. Could you give us the reasons that will not happen again. Could Jacob do an episode and explain trumps statement that he would terminate parts of the constitution?
@ considering Trump wasn’t president I’m not sure how much he could do other than say some things. Jacob‘s point is that there’s a difference between saying things and actually doing things and putting policy in place. I think he was trying to make his point clear that there are personalities that rub us wrong, but that shouldn’t keep us from looking at what they’re actually doing. I get it. No one wants to vote for someone that comes across as prideful or crude but I also don’t want to vote for someone that’s going to kill a few more hundred thousands in war and kill our economy and, promote things like abortion. I get it. I wish we could have it all this year but it looks like we don’t.
I am a Latter-day Saint, and I am definitely voting for Trump, because, he is the best one for the country. He believes in the Constitution, and the rule of law, and he wants to do the right things for the country. Is Trump perfect. No he is not perfect. But he believes in doing the right things for our country. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 If it's in the lords well, I hope he wins this election. Prayers for the country. 🙏🙏
From someone in the know regarding Trumps belief of the Constitution: Mike Pence "I believe anyone that puts themselves over the Constitution should never be president of the United States and anyone who asks someone else to put them over the Constitution should never be president of the United States again," and “It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year,”
Other brainwashed woman of this mormon cult. Your husband, your bishop, and other high ranking men of your church is telling you to vote chump. Sorry ass soul, you women are
I find it interesting that my LDS friends/family that were shouting “follow the Prophet” over the Covid vaccine will be casting a vote for a woman who wants no restrictions on abortions. What happened to follow the Prophet?
They worship another religion. They are missionaries of secularism into gospel rather than being disciples of christ and missionaries of the gospel to the world.
The Church's policy is that it “does not endorse, promote or oppose political parties and their platforms or candidates for political office." The question of the "why" of this policy is probably worthwhile to mull over.
As commented already, the worship secularism. They say follow the prophet only when his words align with their beliefs. If you really break down the prophets statement of the matter as a lawyer or judge, you will actually see it was a general statement that vaccines are good not specifically the C19 shot. Periods, commas, and new paragraphs are important in making statements.
@@PeggyWest1127 In the case of COVID, the prophet said: "To provide personal protection from such severe infections, we urge individuals to be vaccinated. Available vaccines have proven to be both safe and effective." In the church's public positions on abortion, they have laid out strict and specific guidelines for church members. To what extent should non-members be obligated by law to follow the same standards as members? The church has stated, "As states work to enact laws related to abortion, Church members may appropriately choose to participate in efforts to protect life and to preserve religious liberty." With regard to “protecting life,” there are a number of ways a church member could choose to protect the lives of unborn children, including ways outside of government force. With regard to “preserving religious liberty” I think it's possible for an LDS member in good conscience to judge that this also includes preserving the rights of people who do not profess our religion not to be forced by the government to make the same decisions as we would make. And if the prophet wanted the members to vote for a specific person, or NOT to vote for a specific person, to support a specific policy or NOT support a specific policy… surely he is free to say so, as he did with COVID? What is stopping him?
Here are my top 3 reasons why I can not vote for Kamala: 1) abortion 2) endorsement from and support for pornography (explicitly from p-hub) 3) LGBT issues If morality has any hold on your vote. You cannot vote for this woman. My top 3 reasons for voting for Trump: 1) illegal immigration 2) inflation 3) peace abroad
@kelleyturner6584 then you can not be an active member of the church and vote against your values. We are against the values expressed by the LGBT community. Against abortion. Against illegal immigration. Against the breakdown of the family. We are against going to war in the Ukraine. These are non-negotiable. You have no candidates in the Democrat party that are against these things. And if you find such a candidate: RFK, Elon, Tulsi, or Joe Mansion. They are all now Republicans or voting for Trump. You've clearly missed something that they are seeing. There is no reasonable moral case for Kamala Harris as a latter-day saint. "There are lots of us." Yeah, not an argument. "I am legion. For we are many"
@@katiew2234 over dramatic! Supreme Court is extremely conservative! President and congress would have an extremely hard time trying to pass an amendment to the constitution to over rule them!
You're a woman and you're supporting dump trump? Again your church has brainwashed you into being submissive to men and will tolerate the bullshit and the inequality and disrespect they will put you through. May God ( MY GOD) save your soul.
This is an awesome video/presentation. Thank you so much for taking the time to put in place a wonderful message to us all regardless of our faith. In good conscience I must support and encourage a vote for Donald J Trump and JD Vance. Mainly because of the points presented in this video.
But.. but.. his tweets are mean! Ugh, one thing I've found living in Utah 4 years now, is that members here place politeness far too high on the morality scale. And if you use a "swear word" you're avoided and ostracized like the plague 🙄 These prople need to go see what's happening other side of the world. What life is like. We've become far too soft.
Im not able to actually vote for him but my prayers are how I support him and his family. I love his desire to help me and others. I will keep praying for him. I live in the Philippines.
Why do we always have to preface a Trump comment with “there’s plenty of things I can say about him, I disagree with him about plenty of things” blah blah blah
Exactly! Liberals never preface their support of liberals with "Although I don't agree with Harris' sleeping with married men, or Liz Cheney's warmongering..." the supposed polite conservatives are expected to make clear they don't agree 100% with their candidate.
It has to do with seeing complexity. If a person is "voting by tribe," they tend to see black-and-white. Your person is all good, the other guys' person is all bad. If a person is thoughtful (and the title of this channel is "Thoughful Faith"), they are open to seeing grey areas. Trump has some good and some bad to him; Jacob is endorsing him because he believes the bad is acceptable in a package that comes with the good. There are others viewing this who believe that the bad that comes with Trump is unacceptable. We all draw our own lines. That’s kind of the deal we accept in order to have a democracy with human leaders in charge.
I am not voting for a prophet, I am voting for political leader and the proof is in the pudding these last 8 years. We’ve lived through both. The policies are blatant in literal blood around the world. Boarder security, defense of the unborn, gender clarity and the economy will decide my vote based off past experience. The choice is easy. TRUMP🇺🇸🙌🏻♥️ Loved this video!
Excerpt from the First Presidency letter, June 2023: "We urge you to spend the time needed to become informed about the issues and candidates you will be considering. Some principles compatible with the gospel may be found in various political parties, and members should seek candidates who best embody those principles. Members should also study candidates carefully and vote for those who have demonstrated integrity, compassion, and service to others, regardless of party affiliation. Merely voting a straight ticket or voting based on “tradition” without careful study of candidates and their positions on important issues is a threat to democracy and inconsistent with revealed standards (see Doctrine and Covenants 98:10). Information on candidates is available through the internet. debates, and other sources."
@@charlesfinn-z4d we’re a republic, so I don’t care if he’s a threat to democracy. Democracy is mob rule. Kinda like the BLM riots and the occupy movement.
I'm sorry, but just like the presidential elections in 2016 and 2020, I cannot stomach either of the two major candidates. Living in Utah, I know full well the electoral votes from my state will easily be going to Trump, and that is one of several reasons why, for the third presidential election in a row, I will be voting third party. Yes, I know, as I've been told a thousand times before from people on both the left and the right - a vote for a third-party candidate is really a half-a-vote for the opposition. My counter to that is, if the winner of the presidential election won based on the popular vote, that would probably be true, but the reality is, the electoral college is what truly determines the winner of the presidential election. Therefore, as a Latter-day Saint resident of Utah, I can vote third-party for President and my conscience will be clear. The left's woke agenda, which includes its relentless categorizing of people as either "oppressors" or "the oppressed" is a good enough reason for me to stay away from Kamala Harris. However, I have many issues with Trump that go way beyond the careless things he has said over the years, or his specific views on the major issues facing our country.
Thank you, Jacob, for a fair approach to a sensitive topic for many. I cannot vote for a person who wants to control speech. I lived through covid and witnessed the censorship, almost entirely supported by the political left. We must uphold free speech, religious liberty, and life.
Excellent overview. Thank you for sharing. As you point out, if we focus on POLICY (and I would add PRINCIPLES) that protect and provide America and her people with the best chance at future success, safety and prosperity, the answer for how we vote is overwhelming obvious... The decision becomes even more obvious when you consider the team that Trump has built around him - giving us a legitimate opportunity to overthrow the war, big pharma and big food industrial complexes. Now we all need to get out and actually cast our vote!
Doctrine & Covenants 98:9-10 “Nevertheless, when the wicked rule the people mourn. Wherefore, honest men and wise men should be sought for diligently, and good men and wise men ye should observe to uphold; otherwise whatsoever is less than these cometh of evil.”
In the beginning there were 2 people running for office: The 1st - campaigned for freedom of agency. Allow all to decide for themselves. The 2nd - wanted to take your agency away. The 1st - offered 2 genders: male & Female. The 2nd - promotes different genders- The 1st - award on merit. ( 3 different degrees ) The 2nd : wants equality- everyone equal regardless: The 1st - A plan to bring children into the world. The 2nd : wants Abortion “rights” The 1st - tells the truth, has a plan The 2nd - lies, has no plan, You check yourself at the voting booth and you decide who & what you stand for.
Trump has said he would terminate parts of the constitution, bloodshed, if he is elected. Four people died in our nations capital January 6, 2020. Trump said many heinous things . I am casting my vote to stop Donald Trump from doing the things he said he would..
I don't support abortion-as-birthcontrol, but I also don't support full bans on abortion which are contrary to LDS official positions allowances, full bans that lead to women dieing. I also don't like trumps corruption, trumps tax cuts for the rich, trumps anti immigrant rhetoric that is completely against treating the least of our brethren as we would christ; nor do it like his inflationary tariff plans, or the rights preference of free market over being stewards over the earth So yes I'll vote so abortion is allowed, and some may sinfully abuse the availability, but some will use it as church approved and save lives. So I believe in letting people have their agency, and a lot of the other policies concerning Trump are so much worse, and as a human he is so much worse One of them is more agency and respecting the people than the other, and the fact that you think it's Donold "I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful-I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything." Trump is disappointing
The liberal/progressive members who would vote for Harris (despite all that is presented in this video) simply use personal objections to Trump as an excuse. Their priorities are not those of the Church and never have been. I totally get someone not voting for either on moral grounds but the idea that Harris is somehow the lesser of the two evils is ludicrous. If Trump's personal failings offend you more than Harris' policies on abortion or the LGBTQ agenda, there's a problem.
For those that say they won’t take a stand by voting in an election that has clearly become a choice between God and evil I would suggest they consider these words: Revelation 3:16 (KJV) So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Refusing to vote over “mean tweets” or mean comments is beyond absurd and hypocritical.

I keep thinking about their honesty in the temple interview questions as well. I'm not the judge, but there is something that doesn't feel right about this. There are too many ideologies that Kamala has that in my opinion completely contradict the churches stance on so much.
This was absolutely incredible. Thank you for letting the true doctrine of Christ's church be the determining guide with this video. Every Latter-Day Saint MUST watch this!
Great, fair presentation Jacob. I saw this first on Greg Madsen’s Cwic Media channel and was happy to watch it again here. There are so many things we need to do to keep our country free and God-fearing and in my opinion, protecting the unborn is at the top of the list.
It’s mornoni title of liberty 🗽 that we are fighting for. In addition, I’ll quote from the family proclamation: “we warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets.”
Trumps a multiple times cheated and divorced. Accused of sexuel assault. I don't support abortion-as-birthcontrol, but I also don't support full bans on abortion which are contrary to LDS official positions allowances, full bans that lead to women dieing.

This should not even be a question. OF COURSE Latter-day Saints should elect Trump. His political priorities and values are WAY closer to Latter-day Saint priorities and values than those of Harris. It’s not even close. Great video, Jacob!
@@michaelhutchings6602 False. I don’t even know where to begin. How about this: every modern prophet has counseled us to vote. I can give about 20 more reasons, but who has time for that.

This was the best rundown on politics i have ever heard. It was straight to the point and honest . We as children of God need to follow the right path to humanity. Very honest, straight forth video!
Every political commentary tied to religion I have ever heard turns me off completely including this one. People simply see what they want and not what they don’t want to period. Any political decision could be “justified” by your religious beliefs, no matter what it was. It makes me feel defensive of the sacredness of seeking the divine being mixed with support for one side or the other both of which are entirely unholy and honestly, 90% of political reasoning is very lopsided and full of twisted ideas. Makes me want to vomit.
It shouldn't be a Trump/Harris issue. I don't vote by party. It goes to the basic reason we are all here. The plan of the adversary and current democrat policies are very similar. Cradle to grave entitlement. No matter what you do in life, You will be saved or be taken care of by the government. Socialism/Communism. No glory to God. We had a war in heaven over this issue. If Democrats can course correct, then I could understand LDS members being affiliated with that party. Their policies today are anti-family and worse.

Wow, lots of amazing points here! A lot of Latter-Day Saints like to feel good by opposing Trump, but what good does this do regarding peace, prosperity, and protecting life?
I am happy see a church member not being afraid to tackle this topic. I agree with you so much, although I think I like Trump more than you. I cannot imagine Harris negotiating with foreign powers when she cannot answer a single question from a journalist.
People need to remember that you don’t have to vote. If you really feel that each candidate has problems that conflict with your faith then don’t vote. Or write-in someone you would support.
Thankyou for this we in Australia see clearly that it’s important that we get a person that is strong against war we need world peace . Abortion is so wicked that any LDS who votes for her and has not worked out her abortion stand needs to repent.
Wow. Perhaps a well meaning analysis, but missing so much detail. Afghanistan: the decision to hand Afghanistan over to the Taliban occurred in 2019, yes many people were shocked that the Biden administration honoured that decision, but listening to US politics it hard to see how he really had a choice. Same solution he had planned for Russia, tell Ukraine to submit. Might over right. Russia also was prepping the invasion in 2019, leading up to Christmas people were trying to convince themselves they wouldn't actually do it. Meanwhile Trump had spent 4 years undermining the UN (and Europe) which was set up specifically to deter such actions. China, wel to be fair, that's been building since before Trump got into office, although I suspect your news headlines don't share a lot about that. Never mind the insider information about Trumps desired actions and when they had to talk him out of using nukes. Looking at it from a global perspective the world was another more on edge from Trumps actions on the global stage. And yes peace is important, and the fact that despite the efforts to deflect we are still looking down the barrel of ww3 is terrifying. But it also matters what side your on. Going back to Russia launching the invasion in early 2020, was that related to the election? Quite probably although likely not in the way you have perceived it. For example look at the group fitting the description of a secret combination / cabal ... Q-Anon. The trail to the centre of manipulations showed influence from Trumps right hand men... Steve Bannon anyone? Oh, and I'm sorry but I can see nothing peaceful about January 6th, nor all the strategies to incite mobs against minorities eg recently the Haitians (legal immigrants fyi) As well as a strong Russian control in the centre group. Meanwhile abortion, Trumps stance has changed repeatedly over the last 25yrs, before which he supported abortion, because it's politically expedient. This year he's suddenly come out claiming to be Christian, he's sold gold bibles for profit, he was unable to quote a single scripture, or even the general meaning of a scripture, but you know sometimes I can freeze, but then, he straight up declared that he had never repented to God, saw no need to do so. Blasphemy is serious in my book, and blaspheme for political gain is nothing I can countenance, reading Alma, certainly drives that point home. Personally, I care more about reducing abortion than punishment, and stat's suggest it's one or the other, not both. Immigration is a tricky one, and a lot more complex than you have suggested, and we have always been exhorted to care for the vulnerable.and the wayfarer. "For these were the sins of your sister Sodom, failure to show hospitality to the stranger". Ultimately it is a good video to see your perspective, it just seems to be cherry picking the information.
I'm trying to understand the LDS never trumpers better. Will you please help me understand? Do you think that we should have stayed in Afghanistan? Or pulled out more responsibly? Do you know about the oil pipeline that we most likely destroyed under Biden to start the Ukraine war? What did Trump do to undermine the UN? Are you referring to when he made countries that weren't living up to their obligations pay their fair share? I don't really understand your blasphemy comment. Has Trump committed the unpardonable sin in your estimation? What do you mean punishment for abortion? What border policy do you think would help reduce the trafficking of women and children more?
Seems like this makes absolute moral and common sense, which makes it all the more terrifying that there are any that would vote for Harris over Trump, especially a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
@@michaelhutchings6602And you're a brainwashed, intolerant child. I pray one day you will grow up and start thinking for yourself instead of regurgitating what your college professors preach.

A VOTE IS NOT A VALENTINE.YOU AREN’T CONFESSING YOUR LOVE FOR THE CANDIDATE. IT’S A CHESS MOVE FOR THE WORLD YOU WANT TO LIVE IN!!!!
Spot on that Pres Trump’s brashness is what made foreign adversaries think twice. Also many of these other Nations respect tough power and Pres Trump not only knows this, but portrays it.
Because of January 6, 2020, four people died in our nations capital. Because Trump is said he will terminate parts of the constitution.. Because Trump is promised bloodshed, if he is elected. because Trump said the people of the world who will not bow to him, our garbage ect ect etc.
@@jonduke4748 What? This is completely against what our church believes in... You think the church should excommunicate people based on who they vote for??
As a member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saint's, never before have I seen such a divide in church members politically! My husband currently serves as our shift coordinator on Friday nights at the Temple! He's served on the high council and in the bishopric! However he's currently serving as the Mayor of Beaumont Ca as well! He's also a veteran. During this time in our lives we have truly learned a lot. While he served on the high council his stake president during a meeting said we need good members of the church that follow God to serve in local government. My husband felt the call! Working with Democrats isn't easy! They don't want to contribute to our community or work with Republicans at all! So tax paying citizens don't get the resources they need for their communities! When we're trying to campaign Democrats reserve all of our tickets so no one attends! People wonder why nothing gets done, it's because they keep voting 🗳 for people who only care about money 💰 and power!
You are 100% correct about your analysis and conclusion. I’m voting for trump because his policies promote family values and make it easier for people to exercise their rights and provide for their families in safe and secure communities. He is a deeply flawed man but he promotes correct principles.
As a convert member of the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints I do remember that every member of the Church is at a different level or place with their intelligence level, understandings and comprehensions. That being said as members of the Lords Church we know and understand the Plan Of Happiness, the Plan Of Salvation presented in the here and now and prior to birth. I would say that we have been clearly taught, educated and instructed in the understanding of Free Angency and what that is. One simple truth we have been taught by the Prophets is this, that free agency isn’t free and free agency doesn’t mean you do what ever you want and there’s great examples and lessons that teach this in an understandable and intelligent way. Abortion except in cases of incest and rape and imminent harm or death to the mother may be considered by the Lord at Judgement Day as murder, He is the final judge, however unto us it is considered murder. As an independent voter I do find corruption in both parties however one political platform does want to make abortion easily access and inappropriate use of public funds. Without getting into lengthy details Mrs Harris does support abortion. So if you find yourself conflicted because you like Harris personality and do not care for President Trumps then skip that vote, better to do this then put yourself into potential conflict with the Lord at the Last day. Blessings
You got it Jacob, can't add much to that! Here in the UK we once had the Magna Carta it was the first document to put into writing the principle that the king and his government was not above the law. It sought to prevent the king from exploiting his power. The Democrats are currently exploiting their power. Under this document we had the right to bare arms incase a king over step his mark and became a tyrant! No longer can we use that document as a right. It is no longer legal. That's what will happen with the constitution of the USA if you leave this current government in power. Joseph Smith once said that the constitution would hang by a silken thread, I do believe we are living in that day one wrong decision and it's gone forever! We were supposed to be the people who would save it, vote accordingly. Remember an unarmed people is easier to control than an armed one. They want full control do not give it to them!
@@charlesfinn-z4dYou mean the misguided protest to disrupt the certification of the election? There was no "insurrection" like you Lefties keep claiming. Not a single Jan 6th prisoner has been charged with inciting an insurrection. Do you know why? Because their actions don't meet the legal definition. The insurrection garbage is just the Liberal media and Democrats trying to vilify Trump.
Character and morals in our elected leaders matter. Their words and actions matter. Abiding by the law matters. Especially with respect to the POTUS. Are either candidates perfect? No, of course not. Will either candidate’s policies align perfectly with our beliefs? No, of course not. Should we impose our beliefs on a diverse and free people who may think and believe and exercise their God given agency differently than we do and judge them for it? No, of course not. I think between the two major candidates there is a stark and clear contrast between them and their records, character, values, messaging, motivations for running, plans and vision for our country. No matter the outcome of the election or which policies of the winning candidate get enacted, we need to keep in mind our articles of faith (especially 11, 12) and not get caught up in the civil and political unrest and banter that is already here with more surely on the horizon. May God bless you all and have a great day!
I am a LDS, I am humiliated that this propaganda should have been shown. Our country’s freedom is in the balance., what side will the latter day Saints be on?
@@charlesfinn-z4d Jan 6 had many inside instigators. The girl who died was trying to stop so called agitators from destroying capitol property by a police officer. Totally uncalled for. The other deaths were not really related. Officers let peaceful protestors in the building. Pelosi denied all of Trump's requests for additional security down.
@@charlesfinn-z4dyou really are a Liberal troll, arent you. If Jan 6th was your defining moment, then you really need to factor in the 573 blm riots that left over 50 people dead, 1,000 police officers injured, $2 billion in damages to our cities, thiysands of businesses looted and burned, police precincts and federal buildings vandalized and burned, and which the Liberal media called "mostly peaceful protest[s]". How does that factor in to your support of Harris who defended the rioters and got a bunch of them out of jail to continue their reign of terror?
On abortion, let's not forget Governor Walz's position. He signed into law a measure that allows doctors who attempt to abort the baby, but fail and end up with a live child, to deny medical care to the child, letting it die. Moloch would be *so* proud. The Church has stayed clear of political decisions. Abortion is a moral decision, not a political one. Those who would make it so are disguising their intent, trying to force us into being merely "nice", too nice to argue.
Ya know Trump does live the word of wisdom, no drinking or smoking. I don't know that I believe all the stories about his adultery because a lot of it sounds like what a drunk man would do.

I recently watched a group of women who had abortions. They were speaking with doctors who had performed abortions. Both groups felt repentant about what they had done. The details of an abortion are so gruesome..it shocks the mind, and breaks the heart and soul. It seriously is akin to the atrocities of WWII. As a society we need to do better in supporting women who feel they have no other option. We also need to make abortion illegal, only in cases on rape, incest, and life of the mother. This practice of abortion is a horror that I can only imagine is kindling God's anger.

The shift of some later-day saints to the left is beyond comprehension for me. Each politician has made their stance on abortion clear. That issue alone should make clear who we should support. There are many other issues that make the choice clear like you talked about.
I’ve been hearing from latter-day saints that they have issues with Trump’s rhetoric as the main reason they are voting for Kamala. That logic makes no sense, if anything you should just not vote for either.
At least that way you can be ideologically consistent.
Low information voters. They listen to rhetoric and skim headlines to form their political opinions, there are some in my own family and it drives me nuts, too. When you look at the platforms, you cannot support the policies of the Left and be able to honestly say you do not support or sympathize with groups or organizations that are contrary to the church doctrines.
It is one of the most weak minded arguments there is. There is always rhetoric in politics. They’re trying to get a message across. That’s called being a lazy learner. Look at history. It’s there. You can see where the proposed policies lead as they have been done before. And sorry, but the policies of the left don’t hold up in reality.
It's not Trump's rhetoric that makes me not vote for him... it's the raping. And the sexual assault, and the infidelity, and the embezzling, and the cheating, and the lying, and the disrespect for military and police, and the disdain for the poor, etc, etc, etc. He brags about breaking every single one of the 10 commandments and says he's never done anything he needs to repent of. But yeah, I guess his rhetoric is bad too.
I think it is a case of being sold a bunch of disinformation and hate by the media. The comment " I can't vote for a convicted felon." Did they forget Joseph Smith was charged in 30 criminal cases and as many civil cases and was pronounced guilty in at least one?
it boggles my mind how many in the church are okay with this...sickening..some have left the church..but they are smart, intelligent people
Trump has my vote, pro life,pro boarder control, knows the different between a man and a woman the list goes on, it's great to live in a country where we have a choice, get out and vote.
The best argument against Kamala on religious freedom is her bill the "Do no harm" act, which would literally force our church to fall in line on LGBTQ issues.
Can we get a do no harm act for Trump? We can’t survive 4 more years of his antics.

@ yes, because we will still have a democracy- as long as Trump doesn’t succeed in trying to overturn another election.
I love your show and I agree with your points, but I disagree 100% with the comment on election fraud. There is plenty of evidence of coordinated voter fraud and I could list several things here. It's not my intention to start arguments but I think that subject is far from settled.
You said, "There is plenty of evidence of coordinated voter fraud" and I absolutely agree. There also has been for a very long time.
I wholeheartedly agree. There were many witnesses in several states who testified of fraud. As a Christian and as a Latter-day Saint whose religion is based on the power of testimony, this means a lot to me. Most of these witnesses' testimonies were downplayed or ignored by the courts and media, which reminded me of how the testimonies of the saints against their persecutors in Missouri were ignored by the media and the courts. If we believe in witnesses such as the early apostles who testified of Christ's resurrection, and the witnesses of the Book of Mormon, why are there Latter-day Saints who scoff at the many witnesses who claimed they saw fraud happening in the 2020 election?
@@Omhikmat Excellent point! Also for the record, the courts refused to hear EF cases on the basis of "lack of standing" not on the basis of the evidence, which they never even looked at. From the Cornell Law School site: "Standing, or locus standi, is the capacity of a party to bring a lawsuit in court. To have standing, a party must demonstrate a sufficient connection to and harm from the law or action being challenged." Pretty lame argument from the courts, but they all fell in line. Pretty weak, indeed.
@@Omhikmat I have been a county election official where I live for every election for almost 20 years - until now. Because of Gavinator New-scum making it so that a vote-by-mail ballot is sent to literally everyone in the state, he has completely opened the door for illegal voting! My position was called a "Roving inspector" and my responsibility was to go around to various the precincts to which I was assigned and make sure that they were doing everything according to law and correct procedures and now that position no longer exists.
I went to vote in person yesterday and one of the higher up County election officials that is still working, saw me and said, "what are you doing on that side of the table?" We both had a sort of "sad chuckle" about it.

Thanks Brother! Love the truth! We need to stand up for truth , the Constitution, honesty , integrity, life , and liberty!
Absolutely! Truth, integrity, and the Constitution are all great values-too bad they often seem to get lost in the noise of political rhetoric. Let’s hope we can actually start seeing those principles reflected in our leaders’ actions, not just in catchy slogans!
Absolutely 💯
Trump is the only candidate that called for the termination of the articles of the Constitution.
I'm not even US citizen, but I have NEVER understood why many Americans say "I'm democrat" or "I'm republican"
who in the world would vote for a political party and not for a candidate?
voting should be per-candidate-basis not political party....
Some vote for the "policies" not an individuals (that come and go). Policies effect everyone and either "give" or "take away" things (regardless of the personality of that person). That is the difference between the democrats (voting for the person) vs repulicans (mostly voting for the policies - that effect our nation). One party gives freedom, the other...wants to regulate, fine, tax, punish, discriminate, abort, etc.
We vote for schools, city, county, state, federal, politicians, sheriff's, treasures, board members, etc. We have so many elections that we need a party to simplify the least important ones out. Most people don't vote party for high office like president. All the other times 2 party is all you need.
Agreed, but the current system separates this into stages. You vote for the individual in the primary elections within each party (and you have to choose one party first), then you choose between party nominees in the general election. It's not a good system, because it forces you into a party paradigm at both stages.
Each party has an official platform. It’s a detailed description of their policy positions. The Republican Party is a FAR better representative of Christian values than the Democrat party. That is why I do not hesitate in saying I VOTE REPUBLICAN.
@@bkgoulding Yes, even though, sadly, even the Republican party has all kinds of problems now.
Great video. Very thoughtful and thought provoking. Nicely done. Thanks for the effort to address the election from a Christian perspective.

A vote for Trump is a vote against freedom. You cannot have freedom of religion in a country that is not free.
It is sad that even among LDS members there is devision on this topic. The adversary is working overtime on this one and seems to be gaining some ground..
I hope that we can stand up and save our country and our constitution. We have been taught and seems reasonable that we vote for the person who’s views align more with ours, and that is what I must do.
For me? it has to be Trump/Vance
@LG-lz1bp I completely understand where you are coming from. It's difficult to see members forget the importance of our country and how America 🇺🇸 is intertwined with our faith! The gospel was restored in America 🇺🇸 for a reason ! America has been called the new Jerusalem by many apostles. There is something very special ✨️ ❤️ about the land of the free and home of the brave.
This is our Zions camp, and we need to stand up for our constitutional
and freedom's. Religious freedom is being challenged all over the world. And it will come to America 🇺🇸 one day! I hear many members say that Trump has flaws and he's a horrible person and that he doesn't know God. But the truth of the matter is no one could possibly know how Trump feels about his relationship with Heavenly Father. I can't believe the prideful manner in which some members judge Trump! Alma, the younger did things that went against the gospel, and later, he returned to God! I went and saw Trump in Coachella California the crowd was incredibly large and happy to see him!
God uses imperfect people to accomplish his work! None of us are perfect, and we never will be here on earth.
🙏🏻✨️It's beyond sad hearing members bad mouth Trump, only to be in favor of KAMALA, who has been running on abortion! Killing God's children is not okay! I stay close to my friends in the church that ❤️ America and the Lord. ✨️🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸🗽🎇Have a great evening!
100% agree. Watch what Glenn Beck has to say about it. He's a great Latter-day Saint, and he said in a fireside, we as Latter day Saints will be held accountable by God who we vote for!
I agree! Some people so hung up Trumps lack or morals in his personal life, when they should be focused on his policies. Just because he treats others poorly, is abrasive, is dishonest when it suits him, is willing to say just about anything for his own benefit regardless if whether it is truthful, has chastity issues, is divisive, and arrogant, doesn’t mean he can’t be a great leader for the right. Just like with our church leaders, we shouldn’t focus on who they are and the example they set in their personal lives, we should just stick to the doctrine they teach. It actually gives me hope that despite all of my weaknesses, the Lord can still use imperfect people to advance the gospel.
Don't worry, the Sex Offender in Chief was reelected.
When I was 19 I was forced into having an abortion. Through out the whole procedure I cried and prayed to heavenly father for forgiveness and asked him to send my baby back to me when I could take care of her . Having the abortion was like having my soul ripped to shreds. I have never been the same. My heart still hurts for my sweet baby. I can only pray that I will be able to see her when I die. I do have 3 children and I'm sill very close to them. They know about Jamie that sweet baby that I was forced to abort. If Roe versus Wade had not been in place. Jamie would be here with me and her sisters and brother.. I was forced to do this unthinkable thing because of my Mother.. Yes I have forgiven her, but the pain will never go away... 😥
I’m so sorry to hear that. I can only imagine the heaviness in your heart. I hope that you find peace and knowledge that God loves you.
Very touching story and thank you for being vulnerable. It’s often the most difficult to forgive ourselves of our mistakes. I pray that you may find that peace in your life as I’m sure you’ve been fully forgiven by Heavenly Father.
Thanks for sharing! God Bless You! ❤️
@@queenaranel6060 I'm so sorry for your loss. The mothers are the often forgotten victims of abortion. Your daughter and your Heavenly Father know your heart. ❤️

This video was fantastic. I am a legal immigrant who recently became a US citizen. I live in Rexburg, Idaho and I am astonished at how many of my neighbors who are faculty and staff at BYU-Idaho--including former bishops and current religion professors--have "Harris-Walz" signs in front of their houses.

It's great to see you've found a video that resonates with you, but let’s be honest: calling it a “clear-cut” comparison might be a bit generous. It sounds more like a one-sided infomercial than an unbiased analysis. Maybe instead of sharing just this “one and only” political post, you could challenge yourself to dig a little deeper into the complexities of each candidate and their positions. Just a thought-after all, voting is a big deal, not a box to check off after a single share!
@@alexmcmurray5262thank you, my thoughts well expressed.
I was too young to vote in 2015, when my Trump ran against Clinton, but in the 2020 elections, when I was able to vote, my dad told me to vote for Trump instead of Biden.
I didn't understand, seeing as how we were Mexican-Americans and the Democratic Party is usually the ones who help us. But my dad explained to me that during the times Trump was president, he and the President of Mexico had a great partnership and that Mexico was better for it, but it wasn't because Trump was a good person, so was the President of Mexico.
My dad told me that while Obama was president for 8 years, Mexico had several problems. The cartel had risen up thanks to several policies that Obama made, and it became dangerous to be in certain cities in Mexico. For example, when I went to Culiacan, Sinaloa, to visit my grandma during summer breaks, I would often see trunks of armed military patrolling the streets. Yet, it was relatively safe because they were there, but eventually, my family had to stop going there. . .until 2017.
Trump has my vote. He may be brash, but his policies and actions speak louder than his words. He has helped this nation and others as well. And not only that, in 2018, Trump even visited my small town by the Mexican border in 2018, to oversee the border patrol and even the military base we have here.
He may not be infallible, but he sure is doing his best.
Is it possible mass deportation might impact you?
Thank you for what you said, especially the last paragraph. It's exactly what every American needs to understand.

I much appreciate your thoughtful comments, particularly as they come from your personal experience.

A vote for Trump is a vote against freedom. You cannot have freedom of religion in a country that is not free.
Yes, and maybe also consider that the 25 worst cities in America have been run by Democrats for decades, and the 25 best cities are mostly Republican run. Utah has also been named the best state to live in for the past two years and is usually in the top 5. Democrat cities and states are just not a functional or prosperous. This point has never changed.
@recsporteducation4594 except many Republican run states are ranked worst in the US for crime, poverty, education, and quality of life. What have conservative policies done for Mississippi, Alabama, Oaklahoma, West Virginia, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Arizona, and Tenessee? They all accept much more in government money than they give back, and still have lower quality of life than most states run with more liberal policies.
@@NoTimeForWargames An excellent point, and I'm glad you bring up those states. But you're making my point more clear. Yes, those states struggle a lot. Yet, they are very good places to live. Over the past 5 years, mass migration out of Democrat run states have seen citizens fleeing to those Republican states you mention. And where is the crime, poverty, etc. all centered in those states? It's centered in their largest cities; cities run by guess who, Democrats. Yes, Democrats have strongholds in those places. Even Texas is a good example. A well run prosperous state, but it has more debt than California. Why? Because its two largest Democrat populations suck the resources of the state dry!
@@NoTimeForWargameswe don't have a lot of crime in Oklahoma
This podcast was probably the very best podcast. I have listened to this entire election season. You stated my views to a T. I am going to share this video because it was so effective and powerful to me and promoting my very feelings that you discussed. Thank you so very much for the time you took to post this video. I hope that people can see the underlying views just like you expressed. Thank you. I was hoping we would have another choice between presidents, especially when it was just Trump and Biden. But when Kamala Harris came into the picture, I was even more shocked how she got into the position that she got into and I hope with all my heart that America will vote and stand against, the things that are taking place under blind eyes. Thank You again for sharing this information.

Obviously, I and MANY of my Latter-day Saint friends, have voted for Harris, the obvious choice to support democracy and liberty over a very old, senile insurrectionist, convicted criminal, rapist and malignant liar.
Do you believe that everyone in the world who does not support Trump is garbage.
At this point I feel that it is nearly impossible to answer the question of “Do you support or promote any teachings, practices, or doctrine contrary to those of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?” While supporting democrats.
Never be a Bishop in Europe or South America
And that's a problem. While we are increasingly seeing conservatism is no guarantee of righteous living, or certain protection against apostasy, I have yet to meet a liberal/progressive member of the Church that has a solid understanding of the Gospel.
Do you believe everyone in the world who does not support Trump is garbage.
I served in the bishopric for years and asked the question many times and was asked, while I voted for Democrats and just voted for Harris, with a clear conscious. I FULLY support a woman's right to choose for her own body, I'm not a fundamentalist Christian Nationalist, that's exactly like the Taliban, forcing women to their religious beliefs. There are NO laws restricting men over their bodies, why do you restrict a woman's? Because of religious ideas. The right to an abortion is not doctrine or teaching, it's a basic human right of free agency which God gave to all.
@RussellFineArt perfect example of a comment above that said progressive Mormons do not understand the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is beyond a horrific take.
I was going to sit this one out. I don't like that man, but I hate what the left stands for and I would never vote for her. I am almost in tears because you spoke to my soul and I know what I need to do.
It's really hard to identify and choose between the lesser of two evils. It is the right thing to do though to avoid a world with a little more darkness than it could have had.
@peace.love.n.blessings Trump has done so many things for the American people! We had world 🌎 peace, and everything was more affordable. He helped black colleges get permanent funding, and our boarders were secured. We had lower gas prices and food prices, interest rates were much lower. Trump helped our veterans receive medical care whenever they needed it! So they don't have to wait to see a doctor! He lowered insulin cost to $60 dollars a month! He also supports our constitutional freedoms and our religious freedom! He also improved our military. These are a few things he did!
I know that people say he has flaws, and I don't know why people seem to be so surprised about that, considering none of us are perfect ! And no one will ever be perfect in this life!
Alma, the younger, did really bad things, but he changed over time! Trump is a child of God as well and deserves the same grace as we do.
I didn't vote for Trump in 2016.
Then I watched what he did during those 4 years.
And I noticed the behavior of those who fought against him.
With Trump, since I LOVE his policies...I have to follow the saying..."What you DO speaks so loudly I cannot hear what you say."

Just be careful you are listening to his actual words and not the twisted and edited snippets the media puts out there. They are being extremely deceptive and it’s clear they are bought and paid for by the machine.
Me as well. I didn't vote for him in 2016, but I found myself defending him from the ridiculous and vitriolic attacks by the Left out of intellectual honesty. By the time 2020 came around, I had become a supporter. Intelligence is light.
That is right!
Too bad many do not look at what Harris has done the past 4 years, because they too speak much more loudly than what her lips say.

They opposed me in Missouri, and were going to shoot me for treason, and I had never committed any treason whatever.”

Dinesh D'Souza covered all of the interference in his documentary "2000 Mules". The interference was there. I am in AZ before we had a regeim change, our then governor and then attorney general were prosecuting people for voter fraud based on evidence used in this documentary.
Share it! We are supposed to stand for something. We are supposed to “contend” for what’s right even while we avoid have the spirit of contention.
60 court cases have shown no significant fraud in the 2020 election. Why would you take the word of a proven liar?
I've never been overly animated by politics. Over the years I've had respect and disdain for politicians from both parties. But now it's not about what's good, better, or worse. It is a matter of good versus evil. And I'm firmly behind the person who's fighting for what's right, and for what is good for the US, even if they don't always have the best bedside manner.
As for voter fraud, I thought it far-fetched at first, but I'm becoming increasingly convinced that it's happening and is working in the blue states and the swing states to bolster the Democrats.
Whatever happens next Tuesday, I pray that God's will be done.

As a lds temple holder I voted for Trump and proud! All Lds members should be voting for a political party that is Pro Life never Pro Abortion
Perfectly said,!! That's why I'm voting for Trump
Politics in the past was politics... today it is good vs evil.
I think we are voting for a dictator versus freedom. Under a dictator no freedoms are safe.
Thank you I know this takes a lot of work. I really appreciate it.
Could Jacob tell us the good things Trump is done since January 6, 2020. Could you give us the reasons that will not happen again. Could Jacob do an episode and explain trumps statement that he would terminate parts of the constitution?
@ considering Trump wasn’t president I’m not sure how much he could do other than say some things. Jacob‘s point is that there’s a difference between saying things and actually doing things and putting policy in place. I think he was trying to make his point clear that there are personalities that rub us wrong, but that shouldn’t keep us from looking at what they’re actually doing. I get it. No one wants to vote for someone that comes across as prideful or crude but I also don’t want to vote for someone that’s going to kill a few more hundred thousands in war and kill our economy and, promote things like abortion. I get it. I wish we could have it all this year but it looks like we don’t.
I am a Latter-day Saint, and I am definitely voting for Trump, because, he is the best one for the country. He believes in the Constitution, and the rule of law, and he wants to do the right things for the country. Is Trump perfect. No he is not perfect. But he believes in doing the right things for our country. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 If it's in the lords well, I hope he wins this election. Prayers for the country. 🙏🙏
From someone in the know regarding Trumps belief of the Constitution: Mike Pence "I believe anyone that puts themselves over the Constitution should never be president of the United States and anyone who asks someone else to put them over the Constitution should never be president of the United States again," and “It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year,”
You believe Mike Pence? What a liar & traitor!
Other brainwashed woman of this mormon cult. Your husband, your bishop, and other high ranking men of your church is telling you to vote chump. Sorry ass soul, you women are
He believes in himself, and having yes-men around him.
I find it interesting that my LDS friends/family that were shouting “follow the Prophet” over the Covid vaccine will be casting a vote for a woman who wants no restrictions on abortions.
What happened to follow the Prophet?
They worship another religion. They are missionaries of secularism into gospel rather than being disciples of christ and missionaries of the gospel to the world.
The Church's policy is that it “does not endorse, promote or oppose political parties and their platforms or candidates for political office." The question of the "why" of this policy is probably worthwhile to mull over.
As commented already, the worship secularism. They say follow the prophet only when his words align with their beliefs. If you really break down the prophets statement of the matter as a lawyer or judge, you will actually see it was a general statement that vaccines are good not specifically the C19 shot. Periods, commas, and new paragraphs are important in making statements.
@ I’m not talking about the church and its policies. I’m talking about people who pick and choose when they will cry follow the prophet.
@@PeggyWest1127 In the case of COVID, the prophet said: "To provide personal protection from such severe infections, we urge individuals to be vaccinated. Available vaccines have proven to be both safe and effective." In the church's public positions on abortion, they have laid out strict and specific guidelines for church members. To what extent should non-members be obligated by law to follow the same standards as members? The church has stated, "As states work to enact laws related to abortion, Church members may appropriately choose to participate in efforts to protect life and to preserve religious liberty."
With regard to “protecting life,” there are a number of ways a church member could choose to protect the lives of unborn children, including ways outside of government force.
With regard to “preserving religious liberty” I think it's possible for an LDS member in good conscience to judge that this also includes preserving the rights of people who do not profess our religion not to be forced by the government to make the same decisions as we would make.
And if the prophet wanted the members to vote for a specific person, or NOT to vote for a specific person, to support a specific policy or NOT support a specific policy… surely he is free to say so, as he did with COVID? What is stopping him?
Sad that this video EVEN NEEDS TO BE MADE.😔
Agreed! A good consecrated saint will realize that the state is evil and they should build up Zion instead of Babylon.
A vote for Trump is a vote against freedom, you cannot have freedom of religion in a country that it’s not free.
🎉AMEN! Trump 2024... I didn't vote for him in 2016... But I will vote for him now like I did in 2020!

This is an awesome video/presentation. Thank you so much for taking the time to put in place a wonderful message to us all regardless of our faith. In good conscience I must support and encourage a vote for Donald J Trump and JD Vance. Mainly because of the points presented in this video.
But.. but.. his tweets are mean!
Ugh, one thing I've found living in Utah 4 years now, is that members here place politeness far too high on the morality scale.
And if you use a "swear word" you're avoided and ostracized like the plague 🙄
These prople need to go see what's happening other side of the world. What life is like. We've become far too soft.
You are 100% correct!
❤I am voting for Donald J Trump
Im not able to actually vote for him but my prayers are how I support him and his family. I love his desire to help me and others. I will keep praying for him. I live in the Philippines.
Why do we always have to preface a Trump comment with “there’s plenty of things I can say about him, I disagree with him about plenty of things” blah blah blah
Wonderful comment!. I will tell you why: Cowardice. Another: Many followers of Christ love appearances more than the truth.
Exactly! Liberals never preface their support of liberals with "Although I don't agree with Harris' sleeping with married men, or Liz Cheney's warmongering..." the supposed polite conservatives are expected to make clear they don't agree 100% with their candidate.
It has to do with seeing complexity. If a person is "voting by tribe," they tend to see black-and-white. Your person is all good, the other guys' person is all bad.
If a person is thoughtful (and the title of this channel is "Thoughful Faith"), they are open to seeing grey areas. Trump has some good and some bad to him; Jacob is endorsing him because he believes the bad is acceptable in a package that comes with the good.
There are others viewing this who believe that the bad that comes with Trump is unacceptable.
We all draw our own lines. That’s kind of the deal we accept in order to have a democracy with human leaders in charge.
Thanks so much for spelling out the obvious for so many who can not see it. I hate politics, but you are 100% spot on here.
I am not voting for a prophet, I am voting for political leader and the proof is in the pudding these last 8 years. We’ve lived through both. The policies are blatant in literal blood around the world. Boarder security, defense of the unborn, gender clarity and the economy will decide my vote based off past experience. The choice is easy. TRUMP🇺🇸🙌🏻♥️ Loved this video!
Are you saying anyone in the world who disagrees with Trump has bad blood. That is what he is saying.
I’m not sure what you’re saying, put a vote for Trump is a vote against freedom. We cannot have freedom of religion in a country that it’s not free.
Excerpt from the First Presidency letter, June 2023:
"We urge you to spend the time needed to become informed about the issues and candidates you will be considering. Some principles compatible with the gospel may be found in various political parties, and members should seek candidates who best embody those principles. Members should also study candidates carefully and vote for those who have demonstrated integrity, compassion, and service to others, regardless of party affiliation. Merely voting a straight ticket or voting based on “tradition” without careful study of candidates and their positions on important issues is a threat to democracy and inconsistent with revealed standards (see Doctrine and Covenants 98:10). Information on candidates is available through the internet. debates, and other sources."
They need to re-issue this.

Who thinks Trump is not a threat to democracy?
@@charlesfinn-z4d we’re a republic, so I don’t care if he’s a threat to democracy. Democracy is mob rule. Kinda like the BLM riots and the occupy movement.
@@charlesfinn-z4d He is the defender and protector of the Constitutional Republic as apposed to the mob fanatics.
I'm sorry, but just like the presidential elections in 2016 and 2020, I cannot stomach either of the two major candidates. Living in Utah, I know full well the electoral votes from my state will easily be going to Trump, and that is one of several reasons why, for the third presidential election in a row, I will be voting third party. Yes, I know, as I've been told a thousand times before from people on both the left and the right - a vote for a third-party candidate is really a half-a-vote for the opposition. My counter to that is, if the winner of the presidential election won based on the popular vote, that would probably be true, but the reality is, the electoral college is what truly determines the winner of the presidential election. Therefore, as a Latter-day Saint resident of Utah, I can vote third-party for President and my conscience will be clear.
The left's woke agenda, which includes its relentless categorizing of people as either "oppressors" or "the oppressed" is a good enough reason for me to stay away from Kamala Harris. However, I have many issues with Trump that go way beyond the careless things he has said over the years, or his specific views on the major issues facing our country.
You expressed my feelings into words better than I could myself. Thank you!
Thank you, Jacob, for a fair approach to a sensitive topic for many. I cannot vote for a person who wants to control speech. I lived through covid and witnessed the censorship, almost entirely supported by the political left. We must uphold free speech, religious liberty, and life.
What has trump said he will do to those who disagreed with him.
@@charlesfinn-z4dhe never locked up Hillary…a shame really
Excellent overview. Thank you for sharing. As you point out, if we focus on POLICY (and I would add PRINCIPLES) that protect and provide America and her people with the best chance at future success, safety and prosperity, the answer for how we vote is overwhelming obvious... The decision becomes even more obvious when you consider the team that Trump has built around him - giving us a legitimate opportunity to overthrow the war, big pharma and big food industrial complexes. Now we all need to get out and actually cast our vote!
Rrrrrriiiight 84 million (more than BObama) votes for Biden. I hope you delve into that subject.
Doctrine & Covenants 98:9-10
“Nevertheless, when the wicked rule the people mourn.
Wherefore, honest men and wise men should be sought for diligently, and good men and wise men ye should observe to uphold; otherwise whatsoever is less than these cometh of evil.”
A bad tree cannot give good fruit
SO well said.
In the beginning there were 2 people running for office:
The 1st - campaigned for freedom of agency. Allow all to decide for themselves.
The 2nd - wanted to take your agency away.
The 1st - offered 2 genders: male & Female.
The 2nd - promotes different genders-
The 1st - award on merit. ( 3 different degrees )
The 2nd : wants equality- everyone equal regardless:
The 1st - A plan to bring children into the world.
The 2nd : wants Abortion “rights”
The 1st - tells the truth, has a plan
The 2nd - lies, has no plan,
You check yourself at the voting booth and you decide who & what you stand for.
Trump has said he would terminate parts of the constitution, bloodshed, if he is elected. Four people died in our nations capital January 6, 2020. Trump said many heinous things . I am casting my vote to stop Donald Trump from doing the things he said he would..
I don't support abortion-as-birthcontrol, but I also don't support full bans on abortion which are contrary to LDS official positions allowances, full bans that lead to women dieing.
I also don't like trumps corruption, trumps tax cuts for the rich, trumps anti immigrant rhetoric that is completely against treating the least of our brethren as we would christ; nor do it like his inflationary tariff plans, or the rights preference of free market over being stewards over the earth
So yes I'll vote so abortion is allowed, and some may sinfully abuse the availability, but some will use it as church approved and save lives. So I believe in letting people have their agency, and a lot of the other policies concerning Trump are so much worse, and as a human he is so much worse
One of them is more agency and respecting the people than the other, and the fact that you think it's Donold "I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful-I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything." Trump is disappointing
The one I think you labelled first in your 'cute' little passage only has concepts of a plan
Thank you so much for making this video and presenting the policies of each candidate so clearly.
The liberal/progressive members who would vote for Harris (despite all that is presented in this video) simply use personal objections to Trump as an excuse. Their priorities are not those of the Church and never have been. I totally get someone not voting for either on moral grounds but the idea that Harris is somehow the lesser of the two evils is ludicrous. If Trump's personal failings offend you more than Harris' policies on abortion or the LGBTQ agenda, there's a problem.
For those that say they won’t take a stand by voting in an election that has clearly become a choice between God and evil I would suggest they consider these words:
Revelation 3:16 (KJV)
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Refusing to vote over “mean tweets” or mean comments is beyond absurd and hypocritical.
I don't support abortion-as-birthcontrol, but I also don't support full bans on abortion which are contrary to LDS official positions allowances, full bans that lead to women dieing.

I keep thinking about their honesty in the temple interview questions as well. I'm not the judge, but there is something that doesn't feel right about this. There are too many ideologies that Kamala has that in my opinion completely contradict the churches stance on so much.
This was absolutely incredible. Thank you for letting the true doctrine of Christ's church be the determining guide with this video. Every Latter-Day Saint MUST watch this!
Great, fair presentation Jacob. I saw this first on Greg Madsen’s Cwic Media channel and was happy to watch it again here. There are so many things we need to do to keep our country free and God-fearing and in my opinion, protecting the unborn is at the top of the list.
So well articulated. Thanks for sharing and including credible sources of clips about what the candidates are actually saying. Great analysis!
It’s mornoni title of liberty 🗽 that we are fighting for. In addition, I’ll quote from the family proclamation: “we warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets.”

This was the best rundown on politics i have ever heard. It was straight to the point and honest . We as children of God need to follow the right path to humanity. Very honest, straight forth video!
Every political commentary tied to religion I have ever heard turns me off completely including this one. People simply see what they want and not what they don’t want to period. Any political decision could be “justified” by your religious beliefs, no matter what it was. It makes me feel defensive of the sacredness of seeking the divine being mixed with support for one side or the other both of which are entirely unholy and honestly, 90% of political reasoning is very lopsided and full of twisted ideas. Makes me want to vomit.
It shouldn't be a Trump/Harris issue. I don't vote by party. It goes to the basic reason we are all here. The plan of the adversary and current democrat policies are very similar. Cradle to grave entitlement. No matter what you do in life, You will be saved or be taken care of by the government. Socialism/Communism. No glory to God. We had a war in heaven over this issue. If Democrats can course correct, then I could understand LDS members being affiliated with that party. Their policies today are anti-family and worse.

Wow, lots of amazing points here! A lot of Latter-Day Saints like to feel good by opposing Trump, but what good does this do regarding peace, prosperity, and protecting life?
I feel that a vote for Trump is a vote against freedom. We cannot have freedom of religion in a country that it’s not free.
Opposing Trump protects the democracy of our country
I am happy see a church member not being afraid to tackle this topic. I agree with you so much, although I think I like Trump more than you. I cannot imagine Harris negotiating with foreign powers when she cannot answer a single question from a journalist.
People need to remember that you don’t have to vote. If you really feel that each candidate has problems that conflict with your faith then don’t vote. Or write-in someone you would support.
Thankyou for this we in Australia see clearly that it’s important that we get a person that is strong against war we need world peace . Abortion is so wicked that any LDS who votes for her and has not worked out her abortion stand needs to repent.
Wow. Perhaps a well meaning analysis, but missing so much detail. Afghanistan: the decision to hand Afghanistan over to the Taliban occurred in 2019, yes many people were shocked that the Biden administration honoured that decision, but listening to US politics it hard to see how he really had a choice. Same solution he had planned for Russia, tell Ukraine to submit. Might over right. Russia also was prepping the invasion in 2019, leading up to Christmas people were trying to convince themselves they wouldn't actually do it. Meanwhile Trump had spent 4 years undermining the UN (and Europe) which was set up specifically to deter such actions. China, wel to be fair, that's been building since before Trump got into office, although I suspect your news headlines don't share a lot about that. Never mind the insider information about Trumps desired actions and when they had to talk him out of using nukes. Looking at it from a global perspective the world was another more on edge from Trumps actions on the global stage. And yes peace is important, and the fact that despite the efforts to deflect we are still looking down the barrel of ww3 is terrifying. But it also matters what side your on. Going back to Russia launching the invasion in early 2020, was that related to the election? Quite probably although likely not in the way you have perceived it. For example look at the group fitting the description of a secret combination / cabal ... Q-Anon. The trail to the centre of manipulations showed influence from Trumps right hand men... Steve Bannon anyone? Oh, and I'm sorry but I can see nothing peaceful about January 6th, nor all the strategies to incite mobs against minorities eg recently the Haitians (legal immigrants fyi) As well as a strong Russian control in the centre group. Meanwhile abortion, Trumps stance has changed repeatedly over the last 25yrs, before which he supported abortion, because it's politically expedient. This year he's suddenly come out claiming to be Christian, he's sold gold bibles for profit, he was unable to quote a single scripture, or even the general meaning of a scripture, but you know sometimes I can freeze, but then, he straight up declared that he had never repented to God, saw no need to do so. Blasphemy is serious in my book, and blaspheme for political gain is nothing I can countenance, reading Alma, certainly drives that point home. Personally, I care more about reducing abortion than punishment, and stat's suggest it's one or the other, not both. Immigration is a tricky one, and a lot more complex than you have suggested, and we have always been exhorted to care for the vulnerable.and the wayfarer. "For these were the sins of your sister Sodom, failure to show hospitality to the stranger". Ultimately it is a good video to see your perspective, it just seems to be cherry picking the information.
It never was THAT we withdrew, it has always been HOW Biden blundered it.
I'm trying to understand the LDS never trumpers better. Will you please help me understand? Do you think that we should have stayed in Afghanistan? Or pulled out more responsibly? Do you know about the oil pipeline that we most likely destroyed under Biden to start the Ukraine war? What did Trump do to undermine the UN? Are you referring to when he made countries that weren't living up to their obligations pay their fair share? I don't really understand your blasphemy comment. Has Trump committed the unpardonable sin in your estimation? What do you mean punishment for abortion? What border policy do you think would help reduce the trafficking of women and children more?
Seems like this makes absolute moral and common sense, which makes it all the more terrifying that there are any that would vote for Harris over Trump, especially a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

You are 100% correct about your analysis and conclusion. I’m voting for trump because his policies promote family values and make it easier for people to exercise their rights and provide for their families in safe and secure communities. He is a deeply flawed man but he promotes correct principles.
So right on!!! Great review of all the important issues! Worth sharing!!!
As a convert member of the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints I do remember that every member of the Church is at a different level or place with their intelligence level, understandings and comprehensions. That being said as members of the Lords Church we know and understand the Plan Of Happiness, the Plan Of Salvation presented in the here and now and prior to birth. I would say that we have been clearly taught, educated and instructed in the understanding of Free Angency and what that is. One simple truth we have been taught by the Prophets is this, that free agency isn’t free and free agency doesn’t mean you do what ever you want and there’s great examples and lessons that teach this in an understandable and intelligent way. Abortion except in cases of incest and rape and imminent harm or death to the mother may be considered by the Lord at Judgement Day as murder, He is the final judge, however unto us it is considered murder. As an independent voter I do find corruption in both parties however one political platform does want to make abortion easily access and inappropriate use of public funds. Without getting into lengthy details Mrs Harris does support abortion. So if you find yourself conflicted because you like Harris personality and do not care for President Trumps then skip that vote, better to do this then put yourself into potential conflict with the Lord at the Last day. Blessings

You got it Jacob, can't add much to that! Here in the UK we once had the Magna Carta it was the first document to put into writing the principle that the king and his government was not above the law. It sought to prevent the king from exploiting his power. The Democrats are currently exploiting their power. Under this document we had the right to bare arms incase a king over step his mark and became a tyrant! No longer can we use that document as a right. It is no longer legal. That's what will happen with the constitution of the USA if you leave this current government in power. Joseph Smith once said that the constitution would hang by a silken thread, I do believe we are living in that day one wrong decision and it's gone forever! We were supposed to be the people who would save it, vote accordingly. Remember an unarmed people is easier to control than an armed one. They want full control do not give it to them!
The only one attempting to go above the law is Trump, no? I don't recall any other presidential candidate attempting a coup.

Should we impose our beliefs on a diverse and free people who may think and believe and exercise their God given agency differently than we do and judge them for it? No, of course not. I think between the two major candidates there is a stark and clear contrast between them and their records, character, values, messaging, motivations for running, plans and vision for our country. No matter the outcome of the election or which policies of the winning candidate get enacted, we need to keep in mind our articles of faith (especially 11, 12) and not get caught up in the civil and political unrest and banter that is already here with more surely on the horizon. May God bless you all and have a great day!
We could not be more on the same page, Sir! I was totally understand and agree with you in these issues
I am a LDS, I am humiliated that this propaganda should have been shown. Our country’s freedom is in the balance., what side will the latter day Saints be on?
Trump all the way!
Do you think January 6, 2020(four people died) was a day of peace? How much bloodshed has trump promised.
From January 6, 2020, until the time in America experiences, the bloodshed that Trump has promise , if he is elected.
@@charlesfinn-z4d Four people did not die on Jan. 6, 2020 your facts are as wrong as your perception of Trump.
@@charlesfinn-z4d Jan 6 had many inside instigators. The girl who died was trying to stop so called agitators from destroying capitol property by a police officer. Totally uncalled for. The other deaths were not really related. Officers let peaceful protestors in the building. Pelosi denied all of Trump's requests for additional security down.
@@charlesfinn-z4dyou really are a Liberal troll, arent you. If Jan 6th was your defining moment, then you really need to factor in the 573 blm riots that left over 50 people dead, 1,000 police officers injured, $2 billion in damages to our cities, thiysands of businesses looted and burned, police precincts and federal buildings vandalized and burned, and which the Liberal media called "mostly peaceful protest[s]".
How does that factor in to your support of Harris who defended the rioters and got a bunch of them out of jail to continue their reign of terror?
Only vote for Trump
I just listened to part of JBP’s psychological analysis of Trump, and it’s awesome!
Trump has said he will terminate parts of the United States Constitution, Trump has promised bloodshed, if he elected ect ect etc.
Thanks for all the work to make this
On abortion, let's not forget Governor Walz's position. He signed into law a measure that allows doctors who attempt to abort the baby, but fail and end up with a live child, to deny medical care to the child, letting it die. Moloch would be *so* proud. The Church has stayed clear of political decisions. Abortion is a moral decision, not a political one. Those who would make it so are disguising their intent, trying to force us into being merely "nice", too nice to argue.
Extremely well done and well presented. Loved it
Ya know Trump does live the word of wisdom, no drinking or smoking. I don't know that I believe all the stories about his adultery because a lot of it sounds like what a drunk man would do.
