don't hit down you've been listening to Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania the former president there speaking with supporters shortly after saying that he will be voting to keep Florida's six-week abortion ban in place now this comes just a day after he suggested that he opposed the six we ban let's bring in CNN's Jason Carroll he is there at the Trump rally in Johnstown Pennsylvania also with us is CNN fact cheer Daniel Dale uh so Jason walk us through uh what Trump said yesterday and and now what he and the campaign are saying today grossly incomp well as you recall it was yesterday when this subject matter was brought up in in an interview uh Trump seemed to suggest that he was not satisfied not happy with the six week time frame on that 6 we uh abortion ban that's in place saying that it is simply too restrictive but he left the door open he wasn't specific in terms of would he support uh overturning it would he give more specifics in terms of timing just a short while ago he gave an interview to Fox News where he once and for all was very clear in terms of where he stands take a listen to what he had to say are you voting yes or no on Amendment four in Florida so I think six weeks you need more time than six weeks I've disagreed with that right from the early primaries when I heard about it I disagreed with it at the same time the Democrats are radical because the N9 months is just a ridiculous situation that where you can do an abortion in the ninth month and you know some of the states like Minnesota and other states have it where you could actually execute the baby after birth and all of that stuff is unacceptable so I'll be voting no for that reason like English professors they say so a couple things there he says he will be voting no for that reason but you have to do a little bit of factchecking here once again we should just make it very clear it is illegal in every state in the nation to to kill a baby after it's born I mean something like that should go without saying but we have to keep repeating it because uh the former president keeps repeating that false claim uh but again at least now we have some clarity in terms of where Trump stands on this six week abortion Manan in the State of Florida he is now saying he does not support it and he would vote no yeah important clarification fact there and for more fact checking let's bring in Daniel Dale So Daniel what have you heard in these different sets of remarks by Trump he just keeps telling the same Lies Over and Over Alex so not only this postbirth execution nonsense that we just heard a very good fat check of but he also claimed the 2020 election was rigged we've been hearing that since 2020 it remains a lie uh he claimed that he signed an old law in 2020 that gave an automatic 10-year prison sentence to anyone who did so much as touch a monument during protests he did not sign any new law or an old law on that subject didn't sign anything he issued an executive order uh calling on the doj to enforce existing laws so nothing new he repeated his nonsense about Venezuela and the Congo emptying prisons to allow uh criminals to come here as migrants there is no proof for that in either case and both the Democratic Republic of Congo and the neighboring Republic of Congo have told me it is completely false uh he said that the numbers of over people we lost to drugs are fake and it's probably 350,000 per year the official number is about 110,000 last year and while experts have told me there is likely some undercount there is no reasonable way to get as high as 300,000 the figure he used to use let alone the 350,000 he used today one expert told me this is a quote made up number Alex yeah Donald Trump bringing Reproductive Rights right back to the center uh of this campaign uh Daniel Dale Jason Carol thank you so much
