DONALD TRUMP, OUR PRESIDENT IT IS NOW ALMOST CONFIRMED THAT
THEY ARE GOING TO SIGNING AN EXECUTIVE ORDER ON RELIGIOUS
LIBERTY AT THE WHITE HOUSE ON THURSDAY.
2 SENIOR ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS HAVE CONFIRMED THE
PLAN BUT NOT THAT IT IS HAPPENING TOMORROW AS AN
EXECUTIVE ORDER BUT PRETTY MUCH IT HAS BEEN INDICATED THAT WAY
AND OF COURSE OUR VICE PRESIDENT, THIS IS SOMETHING HE
IS REALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT SO HE IS SAID TO BE THE DESIGNER OF
THE EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT WOULD BE ON RELIGIOUS LIBERTY.
SO WHAT IS THIS DRAFT ARE HERE WHAT'S IN IT?
IT'S BEING KEPT VERY CLOSE.
NO ONE REALLY KNOWS WHAT'S IN IT BUT SOME SOURCES SAY THAT
THE DRAFT HAD ALSO PROTECTED THE TAX-EXEMPT STATUS OF ANY
RELIGIOUS ENTITY THAT BELIEVES, SPEAKS, OR ACTS OR DECLINES
TO ACT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BELIEF THAT MARRIAGE IS OR
SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS THE UNION OF ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN.
OTHER PROBLEMATIC FEATURES WERE THAT THE BELIEVED AN
INDIVIDUAL'S IMMUTABLE BIOLOGICAL SEX IS
OBJECTIVELY DETERMINED BY ANATOMY AND THAT HUMAN LIFE
BEGINS AT CONCEPTION AND MERITS PROTECTION AT ALL STAGES OF
LIFE FOR COVERED UNDER THE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM ORDER.
THE EXECUTIVE ORDER WOULD ALSO ESTABLISH A NEW BUREAU TO
PROTECT RELIGIOUS FREEDOM WITHIN THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT.
JEFF SESSIONS, JUSTICE DEPARTMENT.
IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER NOW.
FINALLY SOMEONE IS STANDING UP FOR THE CHRISTIANS IN THIS
COUNTRY AND IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE LET SOMEONE ELSE
DISCRIMINATE IN THE RELIGION THAT IS MADE UP.
EVEN THOUGH WE ARE SECULAR SOCIETY AND WERE SUPPOSED
TO HAVE DIVISION OF CHURCH AND STATE, WE NORMALLY HAVE
THAN AMERICA AND I THINK IT'S GREAT.
THE ACLU DOES NOT THINK IT'S GREAT THAT THEY TWEETED OUT
IF PRESIDENT TRUMP SIGNS IN ORDER THAT WOULD ALLOW
RELIGION TO BE USED AS AN EXCUSE TO DISCRIMINATE, WE WILL SUE.
HASHTAG SEE YOU IN COURT AGAIN.
THEY'RE GETTING SNARKY THERE.
THE PRECISE WORDING OF THIS ORDER IS GOING TO BE REALLY
IMPORTANT AND WE DON'T HAVE THAT YET WE DON'T EVEN REALLY KNOW IF
IT'S GOING TO BE COMING OUT TOMORROW BUT IT IS REALLY SORT
OF, IT'S A COMPLETED SUBJECT.
THE ACLU IN CERTAIN INSTANCES HAS COME DOWN ON THE SIDE OF
PEOPLE WHO FEEL LIKE THE GOVERNMENT IS INFRINGING ON
THEIR ABILITY TO FREELY PRACTICE THEIR RELIGION OR THAT THEY ARE
GETTING UNDO IMPOSITION FROM STATE AUTHORITIES AND
THEORETICALLY SOMETHING ALONG THESE LINES COULD REASONABLY
ADDRESS THE CONCERNS OF PEOPLE LIKE THAT WHO DO REALLY BELIEVE
THAT THEY ARE BEING ENCOURAGED UPON BY THE STATE BUT AT THE
SAME TIME IT SEEMS THAT WHAT IS RAY LIKELY TO HAPPEN IF AN
ORDER WITH THE WORDING THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE WERE TO BE
ISSUED IS THAT IT WOULD BE USED AS A COVER TO BASICALLY
DISCRIMINATE AGAINST LGBT PEOPLE AND IT WOULD BE USED TO
CIRCUMVENT LAWS WITH WHICH ACTUALLY PROTECT LB GT PEOPLE.
I THINK THERE'S A WAY TO ADDRESS RELIGIOUS LIBERTY CONCERNS WHICH
A LOT OF PEOPLE DO HAVE FOR SOME LEGITIMATE REASONS WITHOUT
FEARING INTO THE TERRITORY OF WE NEED TO JUST THROW A BONE TO
CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVES WHO FEEL LIKE THEIR VIEWS ON
SEXUALITY ISSUES AND SO FORTH SHOULD BE ENSHRINED IN
SECULAR LAW WHICH IS NOT TRUE
WHAT WOULD BE ONE OF THE LEGITIMATE REASONS, YOU SAID
SOME OF THE LEGITIMATE REASONS FOR THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT TO
WANTED DISCRIMINATE AGAINST LGBT WHAT WOULD BE SOME OF THOSE?
I'M SAYING RELIGIOUS LIBERTY CONCERNS OVER ALL THERE ARE
SOME LEGITIMATE CONCERNS DIET DEPENDS ON SPECIFIC EXAMPLES.
OH THINK THERE'S EVER A LEGITIMATE REASON TO
DISCRIMINATE AGAINST LGBT PEOPLE BUT FOR EXAMPLE, THERE WAS A
SUIT THAT CATHOLIC NUNS HAD INITIATED AGAINST OBAMA
CARE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO BE REQUIRED TO BE PROVIDED
CONTRACEPTION.
I THINK IT'S JUST A MUDDLED, IS A HAZY ISSUE AND THIS WOULDN'T
BE THE RIGHT APPROACH TO ADDRESS IT, THAT'S FOR SURE BUT I
TRIED TO WARN PROGRESSIVES AND LEFTISTS NOT TO BE OVERLY
DISMISSIVE OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE SINCERELY HELD RELIGIOUS BELIEFS
AND FEEL LIKE THEY ARE BEING ENCROACHED UPON BY THE STATE.
DON'T JUST DISMISS OUT OF HAND.
I THINK THERE'S SOME WAY TO FORGE A CONSENSUS ON THOSE
ISSUES THAT DOESN'T ALLOW FOR DISCRIMINATION BUT ALSO
DOESN'T UNDULY BURDEN PEOPLE WHO JUST WANT TO PRACTICE THEIR
BELIEFS AND PRIVATE.
THINK THE DANGER IS A BECOMES A VEHICLE'S EVEN WITH A
CATHOLIC NUN SITUATION YOU HAVE CATHOLIC HOSPITALS AND I
WILL USE AN EXAMPLE IN PHOENIX.
OF ALL PEOPLE TO GO UP AGAINST THIS CINDY MCCAIN, SENATOR JOHN
MCCAIN'S WIFE WAS AGAINST THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES, THEY WERE NOT
GOING TO BE CONDUCTING ABORTIONS AND SHE, EVEN IF IT WAS IN THE
CASE OF RAPE, INCEST OR A WOMAN WHO HAD ISSUES DURING HER
CHILDBIRTH THEY WERE LIKE NO, WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO IT
AND SHOW SHE WENT FORWARD AND SAID YOU CAN'T DO THIS,
THIS IS THE ONLY HOSPITAL IN MILES FOR MANY PEOPLE
BECAUSE IT WAS IN WEST PHOENIX.
THIS IS JUST ONE CASE AND THEY SAID IT'S A RELIGIOUS ISSUE
BECAUSE WE ARE A CATHOLIC HOSPITAL.
YOU ARE THE ONLY HOSPITAL WITHIN 15
MILES SO WHAT IS THE WOMAN SUPPOSED TO DO?
DIE?
AND CINDY MCCAIN STEPPED UP AND SHE FOUGHT BY AND SHE WON THE
SITUATION SO I THINK IT BECOMES A VEHICLE, TOOL FOR POLITICAL
AGENDA IN ARIZONA PARTICULAR, IT'S NOT A CATHOLIC STATE
BUT IS A CONSERVATIVE STATE AND IT IS A SLIPPERY SLOPE.
IT DEFINITELY CAN BECOME A VEHICLE FOR THAT BUT I'M JUST
SAYING IN PRINCIPLE THERE ARE WAYS TO PROTECT RELIGIOUS
LIBERTY THAT DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BECOME A VEHICLE TO
ENABLE DISCRIMINATION DIE THINK IT'S WORTH MAKING A DISTINCTION
THERE RATHER THAN JUST DISMISSING OUT RIGHT THE NOTION
THAT CERTAIN PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT THEIR RELIGIOUS LIBERTIES ARE
BEING INFRINGED UPON DIDO THINK THIS ORDER WOULD BE THE BEST WAY
TO ADDRESS IT BY ANY STRETCH BUT IN TERMS OF THE PRINCIPLE OF THE
MATTER, THERE IS SOMETHING THERE THAT PEOPLE ON THE LEFT SHOULD
HAVE LEGITIMATE REASON TO BE NOT DISMISSIVE OF.
I HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING BUT AS A NIGHTCLUB COMEDIAN OF
30 YEARS, MY SHOCK AND TRADE WAS MOCKING THE RELIGIOUS.
JUST A NOTE THAT
I'M IN FAVOR OF MOCKING THEIR RELIGIOUS TIMEOUT EASTER
AND I SPENT PROBABLY THE FULL DAY TAKING JUST INCREDIBLE
CONDEMNATIONS THAT
I HATE THAT MONEY TO DON WITH YOU.
I COLLEGE IS A RESURRECTION DAY.
