Two pro-life Gen Z men are changing hearts and minds on abortion by going “live” on TikTok, where they reach hundreds of people every night. James Weigel, a 22-year-old aerospace engineer based on Long Island, and Tyler Smith, a 25-year-old construction worker in Rhode Island each spend hours of their personal time in the evenings debating abortion one-on-one with people. Both young men have separately built up considerable followings on TikTok — Weigel with nearly 12,000 followers and Smith with 5,300 followers — but they also reach hundreds more who come across their streams while scrolling. Meet the two pro-life Gen Z men who debate abortion on TikTok Live@James__Weigel and @tsmittttyyyy have changed countless hearts and minds on abortion Story coming… pic.twitter.com/XM0QoDFoNp — Mairead Elordi (@JohnsonHildy) October 24, 2024 Weigel goes live almost nightly, asking those who come up to debate him, “How do you justify abortion?” During Smith’s streams, the text on the screen reads, “Pro-choicers are on the wrong side of history.” Most of the people who come up to debate them simply regurgitate common pro-abortion talking points, arguing “my body, my choice,” or saying the unborn baby is not a person with rights yet, or bringing up rape, incest, and the life of the mother. Weigel and Smith are skillful at chipping away at their guests’ arguments, while hundreds of observers watch the popular abortion talking points they’ve heard all their lives fall apart. When someone says the unborn baby isn’t conscious or can’t feel pain yet, Weigel asks them, “Why is that so crucial for whether or not we can kill somebody? Because we can have a situation where I couldn’t feel pain, but that doesn’t mean you can do evil to me.” When someone tries to tell Smith the unborn baby “isn’t human,” he asks, “What species is it?” “A lot of pro-choicers, they say follow the science, but then they don’t believe a new human organism begins at conception,” Smith said in a phone interview with The Daily Wire. “I am so tired of debating 9th grade biology.” “You might not agree that’s when personhood begins, which is a totally made up word, when you get rights,” he said, but “that’s when you were created.” If someone brings up rape, Smith says he is willing to talk about it, but the real question is, “Are there hundreds of thousands of children being killed every single year in the United States, or not?” When someone brings up the tragic cases of women whose deaths were falsely blamed on pro-life state laws, Weigel explains the facts. This talking point has gained steam ahead of the election, he said. “There is a greater level of arrogance that the pro-choicers seem to be carrying with them,” Weigel said in a phone interview with The Daily Wire. “They feel that now they really have some merit to their case.” Weigel said he grew up non-denominational and “probably used to consider myself pro-choice,” but he had a “big transformation” in college at a time when he was feeling “lost and confused.” He “despised” the Catholic Church but eventually converted to Catholicism after attending a candlelit Mass at the St. John’s Catholic Newman Center at the University of Illinois. Shortly afterward, he was invited to a small pro-life group by one of his good friends. “That’s where I really got introduced to how evil abortion really is,” Weigel said. Now, Weigel is well versed in Thomistic theology and Aristotelian philosophy, and those who listen to him are unwittingly exposed to both. He is “very aware” of the risks of being so publicly pro-life. “There’s going to be a lot of clips of me out there, and one day people will pull up different moments where I was frustrated, or maybe I was a little too aggressive with somebody,” Weigel said. “I think at this point I’ve kind of gone past the point of no return, or at least I’m approaching it, so I’m committed,” he laughed. Weigel is wary of people trying to get his stream taken down by coming up to debate and then deliberately violating TikTok’s terms of service, such as saying banned words like “rape” or “suicide.” However, TikTok is also a great tool for reaching a large number of people, he said. “It’s really important to humanize the discussion and be willing to meet the person where they are,” Weigel said. “I take it very seriously. But it’s okay to be a bit funny, to exaggerate some things, to kind of show how ridiculous what someone is saying really is.” Both Weigel and Smith say their approach is working. “I have convinced a lot of people, and I don’t mean to come across as boastful in that,” Weigel said. “There are a lot of people that reach out to me daily at this point and say, ‘you know what, I kind of didn’t like you when I first heard you on stream. But after listening and seeing what the pro-choicers say and seeing how you approach the discussion, I think you’re right. I think that there is no justification for killing your child in the womb,’ and that’s quite beautiful.” Weigel has a more formal style than Smith, although his humor and kindness come through. Pro-abortion women who insult him on his stream might find themselves addressed as “Madam.” Meanwhile, on Smith’s stream, women who accuse him of “mansplaining” might find themselves teasingly called “sweetheart.” “I gotta stop that,” Smith laughed during an interview with The Daily Wire. “I only say those to people that I know are not open minded, but I know I need to stop that because I’m a Christian man.” Even with his good-natured snark, Smith’s knack for disarming people who disagree with him bears fruit, especially when he gets them to message him privately later. “Something that I find really productive and I wish more pro-lifers did is just say hey, DM me one-on-one,” Smith said. “I get so many messages after my lives sometimes.” During his streams, Smith puts an invitation to message him privately on the screen. Over on his Instagram, where Smith has a bigger audience of 56,000 followers, he has messaged with countless people. “That’s probably where I change the most minds is when it’s one on one, when I can kind of tell them, come on now. Like, let’s be real. You’re smarter than that. Cause they’ll bring up a really bad point, and I’ll call them out on it and they’ll be like, yeah I know,” he said. “Then they understand okay, he’s actually genuine about this [and] we can get a little bit of a friendly relationship going.” “I’ve been doing this for quite a few years now, and I’ve changed plenty of people’s minds,” Smith said. “I have a message actually, and I love going back and looking at it, it’s recent, of this girl DMing me after on TikTok saying it’s so funny, I went in there thinking I was going to change your mind and yet you changed my mind. It made me feel so happy.” He added that he makes an effort not to embarrass people. “If they stumble their words or they just don’t know, I’m like ‘hey, it’s no problem.’ I want them to feel comfortable,” he said. Smith said he became pro-life during his last year of college when he saw victim imagery of abortion, photos of aborted babies, and realized he was “totally against that.” Prior to that, he “would have probably sounded pro-choice for sure,” he said. “I had a moment where I was pretty down in my life and started praying again,” he said. He grew up Catholic but now attends a Christian church with a great pastor. “Now I have a relationship with Jesus, and I’m very happy. I see the light now,” he said, adding that he is also grateful for his “great friends.” He advocates strongly for using abortion victim imagery to change people’s minds. “That’s what’s going to change the most minds and there’s proof about that,” he said. “That’s probably where the pro-life community falls short the most is not showing enough victim imagery.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 Smith has protested abortion in person across the country, and he is a veteran sidewalk counselor in front of Planned Parenthood, where he urges people not to keep their abortion appointments. He views this work as more important than his TikTok streams. “TikTok, going live is fun, but what’s really important is going out there in front of these abortion clinics,” Smith said. “Just being in front of these Planned Parenthoods and helping these mothers in any way. That’s what shuts down these abortion clinics.” He argues that abortion will end up in the trash bin of American history as slavery did 160 years ago. “In middle school when we learn about slavery, we always think, what would we have done if we were born during that time. Would we be an abolitionist and do something to fight back and free the slaves? Or would we just let it happen? Or would we even be part of it and support the problem?” Smith said. “Well here’s your opportunity, and you’re not doing anything about it,” he continued. “I want to be able to tell my kids one day or my grandkids, hey I stood up and I fought against it.” Ultimately, the goal of both pro-life TikTokers is to save babies. Both Smith and Weigel say they don’t plan to stop anytime soon. “I want to save children, and I really do mean that. That’s really what’s fueling the passion and the long hours,” Weigel said.

MSNBC anchor Alex Wagner was clearly shocked by the brutal responses from black voters in Philadelphia when it came to why they were supporting former President Donald Trump instead of Vice President Kamala Harris. In the clip that aired on the network, Wagner sat down and talked to the voters in a blue county of the swing state of Pennsylvania who explained why they couldn’t support the Democratic candidate, with answers ranging from her not having enough experience to not being the right personality to be the leader of the free world. “She’s a woman of color. I’m not putting her down because of that,” one woman said. “I’m not putting her down because she’s a woman … but at the end of the day, I don’t think that [Kamala] has the personality.” “We all know she’s not black” – Surprised MSNBC aired this one. pic.twitter.com/U7mK7lofUO — Christy Kelly (@Kelly4Humanity) October 23, 2024 “I don’t think that she has what it takes to go up against Putin and go up against these other presidents that are built for this,” she added. “I don’t want to be scared because my president’s scared, I want my president to feel secure, and manly, and about it.” When asked if it was because Harris is a woman that she wasn’t supporting her, another woman said no — she just doesn’t “have the qualification or the education to really run America. Because she don’t have the experience. She don’t understand our struggles. And for me to believe you for another four years, you’re crazy. Like, you’re crazy. You’re saying the same thing that you said four years ago.” A third woman said, “The first time I heard the name Kamala Harris, it was in association to locking up parents for truancy … I really didn’t understand how this person claims to be a black woman, but yet she’s locking up black women and black men and separating families.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 Another voter was asked about Trump’s comments earlier in the campaign about how Harris previously embraced her Indian heritage before she embraced being black. “Absolutely! She’s sworn into the Senate, it was the first Indian American … and that’s fine, we don’t care,” one woman said. Another woman interjected, “We all know that she’s not black, let’s understand that. … But my point of view is, she’s already been there. She’s in office right now.” Later, a group voters explained why they were definitely pulling the lever for Trump. “For me, it’s immigration. I myself come from an immigrant family. I’m Guatemalan,” one person said. “And for us, seeing the new immigrants come in, they’re more violent, it’s more chaos.” “And we’ve been here for longer than them, and it’s starting to affect us more because stuff is getting stolen,” he added. “They’re making us look bad as immigrants and we’ve been here longer than them. And we’re getting more misrepresentation because of them.” Another person said they were voting for Trump “unequivocally, period. No one else is going to persuade us. We’re two weeks out, and we won’t sleep until November 6,” MSNBC reported.

'Increasing problems for the Democratic Party'

'charred remains were found inside the walk in oven'

Former independent presidential candidate  Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was terrified to hear of renowned  Dr. Robert Epstein’s study uncovering Google's election interference and censorship. On the Oct. 22 edition of the RFK Podcast, Kennedy learned from Epstein about Alphabet's attempt to influence the upcoming presidential election through its search engine Epstein is widely celebrated for his research involving big tech censorship, influence, and monopolization. Epstein began the conversation by sharing how Google’s homepage disproportionately incentivizes Democrats to vote and warned of the control this gives it. “They’re sending out various kinds of vote reminders—register to vote, mail in your ballot, go vote—to Democrats at about two and a half times they’re doing to Republicans,” he told Kennedy. “Now think about that. Think how that impacts the vote over time, that’s why Google can control so many votes”  Kennedy inquired about methods Google employs to impact the thinking of undecided voters during an election year. Epstein shared the disturbing reality. “The one way they do it is by censorship. In other words, they suppress content and again, you don't know what they don't show,” he said.  Kennedy shared recent research Epstein had exposed to the public from a study done on Google’s bias: “A Google search suggestion can shift undecided voters' opinions from a 50/50 split to almost 90/10, all without user awareness. That is terrifying. That is the end of democracy” Epstein followed this comment by sharing the minimum it could influence voters, stating: “So 4% is the absolute bare minimum that Google alone can shift without anyone knowing.”  This research Epstein and Kennedy cite is directly from his testimony on December 13, 2023, before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Competition Policy, Antitrust, and Consumer Rights.  MRC released a study on Oct. 15 that put this to the test. The results were disturbing. They displayed Google’s bias as the tech giant buried former President Donald Trump’s campaign website under an array of news stories by leftist outlets. On the contrary, Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign website came first in results, any conservative media did not appear until page eight of the results.  Epstein shifted the conversation to Google’s subsidiary, YouTube, which reaches an audience of over 120 million users daily. “Google has admitted that 70% of the content people watch on YouTube has been recommended by their algorithm,” Epstein said. He then warned about the particular danger it poses to a younger audience, unaware of the attempt to persuade their thinking. Epstein once more made the glaring connection between Google and the Democratic party clear. “These people, by the way, are very determined—Google more than the other companies because Google has a very very strong progressive left culture,” he shared, going on to share the disturbing metrics regarding political donations coming from Google employees. “More than 96% of their donations go from their employees go to Democrats.” Conservatives are under attack!

Earlier this week, leaked documents from Britain’s nonprofit Center for Countering Digital Hate sparked a massive scandal when it was discovered that the organization’s top priority is to “kill Musk’s Twitter.” In other words, its top priority is to eliminate the only social media platform left that acknowledges free speech. The founder of CCDH, Morgan Sweeney, not only helped install current Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who he now serves under as chief of staff, he also has close ties to the Biden-Harris administration. The Labour Party, which has been destroyed by socialism, even paid to send Sweeney to the DNC this year. The leaked documents also revealed the nonprofit’s intentions to strengthen its ties to America’s Democratic Party. And it certainly seems that’s happening. In addition to the CCDH meeting with U.S. lawmakers to influence legislation regarding platform regulation and censorship, nearly 100 Labour Party staffers are currently in the United States campaigning for Kamala Harris. That certainly seems like foreign election interference. However, it’s “apparently legal here in the United States as long as there’s no money changing hands,” says Glenn Beck. Former U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss, however, suspects that whatever is going on is far from legal. — (@) “These people who are coming over. Who's paying for their airfare? Who’s paying for their accommodation? Has that been properly accounted for? Have the receipts been produced?” she asks. Under U.S. Federal law, “contributions, donations, expenditures (including independent expenditures) and disbursements solicited, directed, received or made directly or indirectly by or from foreign nationals in connection with any federal, state or local election” are strictly prohibited. England’s Electoral Law states the same — that only British citizens can donate to U.K. campaigns. Truss says that if the situation were reversed and Americans were flown to the U.K. to campaign in a British election, “that would count towards election expenses, and it would be classed as a foreign donation, which is illegal.” To hear more of the conversation, watch the clip above.
