Dr. Ben Carson speaks at Freedom Night in America and speaks about the need for a black presidential candidate. Dr. Carson has been a Christian for over 30 years and has always been a voice for the voiceless, the poor, and the disenfranchised. He is a hero to many young people, especially the black youth, who have not been educated in Christian values and have not received the education they need in order to make informed decisions about their futures. He has a heart for the poor and is fighting for them to have access to the best education, health care, and a free and fair society. He is also a loving father, husband, and husband to his wife, and is a loving brother to his daughter and son-in-law, who are also a Christian and a loving husband to her husband, who also is a Christian, who is a good friend to her and her family. He also has a great relationship with his daughter, who was born in the late 19th century and raised in a Christian home in the early 20th century, and she is a great friend to his son, who died in the mid-20th century in a Korean War era. He was a great role model for the young people of his generation and a great father to his own daughter, and he is a friend to many other young people who are fighting for freedom and justice for all of us in this country. Charlie Kirk is an incredible man and a wonderful human being who has done so much for this country and I am lucky to have him as a friend and supporter of this country, and I hope you enjoy this episode of The Charlie Kirk Show.

00:01:45.000If all young people, but especially the black youth of this country, would be told and taught of Dr.
00:01:52.000Ben Carson as a role model, this country would be in a much, much better place.
00:01:56.000Well, you know, that used to be the case.
00:02:03.000They would tell a lot of the young black children about me until they became convinced that I was a conservative.
00:02:10.000And then all of that went away at that point.
00:02:13.000But let me just say this, and it's not just because he's sitting here, but when you read the Bible, ancient Israel had a lot of incredible people who helped to guide that society.
00:02:31.000God has given us someone as brave, courageous, and intellectually superior as Charlie Kirk.
00:02:41.000You know, we were talking about the fact that a lot of the Christian evangelicals are sitting on their hands Sitting on the sideline and complaining.
00:02:58.000I was reading recently about Billy Graham and how he felt about that and how he felt that it was very wrong to complain about what was going on in society and not get involved in helping to fashion the direction of society.
00:03:18.000And a lot of Christians in particular say, but both sides And I don't want to be in a position of voting for somebody who is not what I think should represent us.
00:03:38.000I don't want to vote between the lesser of two evils.
00:03:43.000You've heard that said, I'm sure, many times.
00:03:46.000Unless one of the candidates is Jesus Christ, you're always voting between the lesser of two evils.
00:03:57.000So that's why we should use these incredible brains that God has given us to distinguish between policies that are helpful and policies that are not because there are certain individuals that some people just detest because they don't like their tweets and things like that.
00:04:51.000And he famously said, a republic if you can keep it.
00:04:55.000Look how close we are to losing it right now.
00:04:59.000You have these crazy people who are using the justice system to go after their political enemies.
00:05:10.000Who would have ever thought that that would be possible In this country.
00:05:15.000And yet it is happening right before our eyes.
00:05:19.000Now, I hope that the person that they're going after actually goes up in the polls because people can see that.
00:05:27.000I'm not mentioning any names, but I hope that people can actually see what is going on.
00:05:34.000And isn't it interesting that our enemies, people like Iran, Are trying to kill this person.
00:05:45.000They wouldn't be trying to kill him if he wasn't an existential threat to them.
00:05:51.000And nor would the deep state be trying to kill him if he wasn't an existential threat to them.
00:05:58.000We have to get behind the right people.
00:06:05.000And look at the beginnings of our nation.
00:06:09.000Look at our founding document, the Declaration of Independence.
00:06:13.000It says that our rights come from our Creator, aka God.
00:06:19.000Rights like life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
00:06:26.000Now, you don't have to be a great intellectual or academician to figure out which side is for life, which side is for death.
00:06:39.000And this is something that is particularly sensitive for me because as a pediatric neurosurgeon, I spent many hours, sometimes up all night, operating on little babies, many times premature babies, 25, 26, 27 weeks gestation.
00:06:59.000And I will tell you, they needed anesthesia.
00:07:08.000And yet, when people go after them in late-term abortions, there's no anesthesia.
00:07:16.000They reach into that uterus with a forcep and grab a limb and pull and twist and out comes an arm or a leg or some other part of the body with no anesthesia.
00:07:45.000It says in the book of Proverbs, the 24th chapter, verses 11 and 12, what about those who are drawn unto death, who are about to be slain, the innocent ones?
00:08:01.000And does not he who sees and knows everything know what you did?
00:08:07.000We have a responsibility to help those who cannot help themselves.
00:08:13.000And I'm not just talking about babies who haven't been born yet.
00:08:19.000I'm talking about people who are out there in our midst.
00:08:22.000You see all of these homeless people, for instance.
00:08:27.000Most of them are either addicted to drugs or are mentally ill.
00:08:36.000And Housing First doesn't really work.
00:08:39.000It gets them off the street temporarily, but 90% of them end up back on the street.
00:08:45.000And we have a gradually increasing number of such people.
00:08:50.000I talked to the head of the American Psychiatric Association who said that the vast majority of those people With medications and supervision could actually become functional individuals.
00:09:05.000And then as far as the addicts are concerned, unless you have familiarity with addiction, it's hard to understand what goes on with those people.
00:09:18.000But the vast majority of addicts, if they could push a button and they would no longer be addicted, they would wear that button out.
00:10:44.000It's not too hard to figure that out, is it?
00:10:47.000And you think about the fact that instead of allowing...
00:10:55.000What has worked so well in a capitalist society, which is letting market forces drive where the efforts are put.
00:11:06.000We use mandates, we short circuit the system, and we don't make the same kind of progress.
00:11:13.000It was because we had a system that encouraged entrepreneurship and innovation and rewarded people for their success That's why the vast, vast majority of inventions, starting in the middle of the 18th century, were starting to come from this country.
00:11:36.000And by the time we reached the 20th century, it was overwhelmingly from this country that those things were coming.
00:11:44.000Because we had a system that encouraged and rewarded it.
00:11:49.000There's nothing wrong with our system.
00:11:52.000But we allow the Marxists to convince our young people that it is.
00:11:57.000Can you imagine being a young person today and the things that they're being subjected to?
00:12:22.000Carson, Christians are in a place that is new.
00:12:28.000Billy Graham compared socialism and communism to the religion of Satan.
00:12:34.000Billy Graham was a crusader against Marxism and communism.
00:12:37.000We saw the moral majority in the 1980s and 1990s where pastors were willing to speak out.
00:12:43.000There are 34 days for the election here.
00:12:46.000There are many pastors in the audience and people that influence pastors and millions of people watching online.
00:12:52.000What should the message be and why is it that pastors have been reluctant to speak out like generations prior?
00:12:59.000I think the message should be that we, the people of faith, by sheer numbers, have the ability to control the direction of our country.
00:13:11.000But if we sit on our hands, it's not going to happen.
00:13:14.000So I think we have an obligation for all of those who are coming behind us to get off of our tissues and actually get out there and do something.
00:13:26.000Because you're doing it for your children and for your grandchildren, for all the people who are depending upon you.
00:15:25.000I go walking down there and Rusty sees me and his ears perk up and he starts licking his chops and he comes running after me, barking and snarling and ran right up to me and I said, this is a mistake.
00:15:45.000But then he just sniffed my leg, turned around and went back to the porch.
00:15:52.000And you know, from that day forward, Rusty never bothered me.
00:15:57.000He would bother other people, but when I walked by, he didn't bother to get up because he knew I wasn't afraid of him.
00:16:03.000And that's the same thing that will happen with these Marxists in our society.
00:16:07.000We just have to be brave enough to trust in God and get out there and do what we need to do and not worry about their silly threats.
00:16:19.000And I have to admit that, you know, not being fearful was key to my neurosurgical career as well.
00:16:36.000You know, there are many people in my field who wouldn't do things because they were afraid.
00:16:43.000And I remember there was one young man who had a disease called van Hippel-Lindau, where you develop these very vascular tumors throughout the nervous system.
00:16:54.000And he had developed one right in the palms, in the brain stem.
00:18:13.000I decided to take them to the operating room.
00:18:16.000Went down to the area of the brainstem.
00:18:18.000A lot of new blood vessels had grown in to feed the tumor.
00:18:22.000It was very complex, but I was, Ava, under the high-powered microscope, clear a small area on the brainstem and make a little incision and use a probe to find where the consistency was different because I would know that's where the tumor was.
00:18:40.000Use some micro forceps, reach in and grab the capsule.
00:18:45.000I could just have to fill it, take another micro instrument and start teasing the tumor away from the tissue and as I was starting to see the tumor as it was starting to come out of the hole the anesthesiologist announced that the brain stem potentials had gone flat the electrical activity that shows us that there is brain activity and he said I told you you were going to kill him because
00:19:16.000he had been very much opposed to the operation well I continued the operation and got the tumor completely out.
00:21:29.000These Border Patrol agents, they are now blowing the whistle, saying that they are told by their superiors, so Mayorkas and Kamala Harris, to get as many kids in the country as possible with people that are not their parents, that they have no idea who these people are.
00:21:43.000And these are unaccompanied minors that then just get thrown to a pimp, and this 13-year-old then just goes and is a sex slave for the rest of their life.
00:21:52.000And our government is co-sponsoring and facilitating it.
00:22:39.000But, you know, Jesus said, Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for if such is the kingdom of heaven.
00:22:48.000And that for anyone who led children astray, it would be better for a millstone to be placed around their neck and been thrown into the depths of the sea.
00:22:59.000That tells you how the Lord feels about children and about protecting those children.
00:24:13.000Now, think about the implications of what I just said.
00:24:16.000In our school systems and in other locations, you have adults telling 9, 10, 11, 12, 13-year-old kids with non-developed brains that they may not be a girl or a boy.
00:26:43.000And the families are where the values are passed through.
00:26:47.000So if children are not getting appropriate counseling from their parents and guidance from their parents, they're going to get it from somewhere else.
00:26:58.000And this is what you're seeing on these college campuses with these kids running around, you know, proclaiming Hamas as the victim when they're the ones who destroyed the lives of 1,400 Israelis on October the 7th about a year ago.
00:27:18.000But it's because they don't actually know the history of what's going on.
00:27:24.000They don't know about the Holocaust anymore.
00:28:06.000But the fact of the matter is, that has to be done for you to say things like, the border is secure, with millions of people coming across, some of whom are terrorists, by the way.
00:28:23.000And it is only the grace of God that is saving us right now, because we've got a lot of them in here right now.
00:28:33.000And we have to pray that God will honor His faithful and save our country, but also to give us some real leadership.
00:29:03.000And secondly, I'm going to keep on challenging you throughout the night to, after we're done, spend an extra five minutes before you run to your car and go to those tables and find out how you can make a difference this election.
00:29:15.000Even if it's two votes, three votes, five votes, ten votes, our team is ready, willing, and able to put you to work.
00:29:44.000I want to know if we can do something more than we're doing to show that Kamala Harris' rollout is not the person that she really is.
00:29:56.000There have been so many people that have been leaving her staff as Vice President that may have also been happening when she was Attorney General.
00:30:04.000We need to have someone come forward and tell us what it's really like to work and be around Kamala Harris.
00:30:47.000But the reason that you know that she has really not moved off of those far left-wing philosophies that she has is that her left base is not mad at her.
00:30:58.000If they really thought she had moved off, they would be piping mad, and they're not.
00:31:03.000So that tells you exactly what you need to know.
00:31:38.000I've been trying to weaponize people's voices with the greatest war in the covenant because I believe we're at war between Satan's marionettes and God's warriors.
00:31:59.000Why is the greatest war in the covenant not being talked about?
00:32:03.000It has God all over it, and you would think that that would be front and center.
00:32:07.000Well, I think more people are starting to talk about it, particularly more pastors.
00:32:13.000We were on a call today with thousands, probably tens of thousands of pastors, along with President Trump and Paula White, talking about How do we disseminate this information?
00:32:38.000But if everybody uses their sphere of influence in an appropriate way, I think we can make the difference.
00:32:45.000When you're looking at states where the difference between winning and losing is 5, 10, 15, 20,000 votes, that's not a lot of votes in a state.
00:33:00.000And if we can get organizations like this one, if everybody here makes it their goal not only to vote, but to get everybody in their sphere of influence to vote the right way, we're going to be just fine.
00:33:25.000When you ran for president, I was living in California.
00:33:28.000I went up to a rally in Sacramento for you, and I was so impressed I volunteered to be your campaign manager for Ventura County in California.
00:33:49.000Why aren't we stressing the baby, the baby that's inside the mother?
00:33:54.000Why aren't we talking about, you mentioned the anesthesia, you know, and that those babies are suffering tremendously in their womb.
00:34:02.000Why aren't we talking about them, doctor?
00:34:04.000Well, that's a very good question because have you noticed that when somebody murders...
00:34:10.000A pregnant woman, they get two counts of murder.
00:34:13.000But when they just murdered a baby, they're upholding women's rights.
00:34:17.000You know, that doesn't make a lot of sense.
00:34:19.000We need to start talking about how these things don't make sense.
00:34:23.000And, you know, a relationship that is one of the most sacred relationships on earth, that of the mother and child, should not be made into one of animosity, where one is inconvenient.
00:34:39.000And one of the things that we have to recognize as a society is that we have to provide alternatives.
00:34:49.000We have to make adoption much easier and less expensive.
00:35:33.000We have people who believe it starts at six weeks when there's a heartbeat.
00:35:39.000Some who think it starts at 15 weeks when there's sensation.
00:35:45.000It doesn't matter which one of those groups you belong to.
00:35:49.000We're all under the same pro-life umbrella and we need to stop fighting each other and recognizing that we're moving toward a society that honors life.
00:36:02.000And we're going to do much better with conversion of people than we are going to do with coercion of people.
00:36:14.000Just teach them what is going on and help them understand that.
00:36:18.000That's why so many young people are pro-life because they've seen Due to technology, what is actually in that uterus.
00:36:27.000And when you see those little arms and legs and that cute little face and that nose and lips, it's really hard to say that that's a meaningless bunch of cells.
00:36:36.000Hi, I saw a post from Fox News this last week that said men pour into church pews and flip the female trend on faith for the first time in modern American history.
00:36:53.000Why do you think men are gravitating to the faith so much more than women and do you see this as a hope for America's future?
00:37:31.000The culture that women are ingesting is complete poison.
00:37:35.000From the pop artists, yes, like Taylor Swift and many others that glorify a non-married, single, career-driven, boss-babe culture that is all about body sovereignty and autonomy, not about morals or objective truth.
00:37:52.000And the screed for that worldview is abortion.
00:37:55.000That abortion is the way that they tell the world that I'm in charge and you are not and that I have my own sovereignty.
00:38:03.000And nothing buttresses up against that worldview more than religion.
00:38:07.000Because by definition, when you enter a church, you actually aren't the boss of your own life.
00:38:13.000That there's a God and you aren't Him.
00:38:15.000And you should bow at the cross that Jesus died for you.
00:38:18.000And so that worldview comes in just complete contradiction to any person, but especially a young lady that is being told the entire life that you're the boss of your own life.
00:39:20.000And the way that you fit into those distinctions is a hierarchy.
00:39:24.000You're above the animals but below God.
00:39:26.000So you better get right with God because you aren't God.
00:39:29.000And so the through line of masculine content, and you see this with the rise of so many of these people, for example, the conversion of Russell Brand and people like that that are becoming more religious in their approach is that It leads you eventually to the cross.
00:39:47.000Where the cultural content that young ladies are putting in their life leads you further and further away from the cross.
00:39:54.000And so you see this in politics and religion.
00:40:00.000So if you were to say, Charlie, would you rather have young women be religious or young men?
00:40:05.000It's difficult, but probably young men because eventually once the young ladies get married, hopefully the men will lead them towards Christ.
00:40:12.000If they get married though, and that's the tragedy, is that young ladies are increasingly saying no to marriage, they're increasingly saying no to children, and it's a toxin.
00:40:22.000And we need better godly female role models that can be the female Jordan Petersons.
00:40:29.000That can lay out a deep and biblical and exciting and thoughtful philosophical worldview that a young woman that is currently, quite honestly, drowning in this sea of postmodernism can attach to.
00:40:47.000And I see it on these campuses where...
00:41:00.000So I don't want to, you know, paint with too broad of a brush, but we have never seen young men this conservative and young ladies this liberal.
00:41:20.000Feminizing your approach is watering down the truths of the gospel to make the emotionality and to make it seem as if you can't say something blunt that is true because you're worried about offending somebody else.
00:41:33.000I love women, of course, and I love all people, but women are far less likely to say something that might offend others because they are more agreeable because God made women more agreeable.
00:41:45.000Men are more likely to say something Blunt and not Angel.
00:41:49.000I know, Angel, you're the exception for that.
00:41:53.000But generally, and we see this, a man is more likely to say something that might offend a group and be an outlier where a young woman is far less likely because they want to fit in.
00:42:05.000This is why women are more likely to be part of social contagions, more likely to be trans, more likely to be, you know, cut themselves, more likely to be goth, more likely to be part of suicide cults, so on and so forth, because young ladies are more agreeable Towards the kind of hive-mindedness where young men are not.
00:42:24.000The solution is the church needs to get back to preaching word of God as it is written, not trying to put it through a worldly secular lens.
00:42:32.000You know, that might explain that might explain why women don't seem to be upset about men playing in women's sports.
00:43:01.000It was about we're okay with anyone who sympathizes with the struggle of a woman.
00:43:09.000That was always the Betty Friedan kind of creed.
00:43:13.000If you go back to the feminine mystique, you go back to the original complaints of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, they're okay with the trans thing because they say, oh, they want to be like us.
00:43:26.000When again, that is against biological reality, but also, by definition, they're also afraid of the fight and the ostracization that opposing the trans jihadis bring.
00:43:39.000So if you stand up against a trans zealot...
00:43:43.000By definition, you are being disagreeable in this culture, right?
00:43:47.000You are inviting cancellation, ostracization.
00:44:07.000And that is why I've said all along, it should be up for the dads of these daughters to fight on behalf of their daughters to make sure that men are not in their sports.
00:44:24.000Carson, I just want to say I'm so thrilled that you did not listen to the people that tried to discourage you from publishing your book, The Perilous Fight.
00:44:35.000Like you, I did not grow up in a traditional nuclear family.
00:44:39.000Our parents divorced when we were young.
00:44:41.000And like you, I'm also a huge advocate.
00:44:45.000My question tonight is about government agencies and the data that they put out.
00:44:52.000So Charlie, on your podcast recently, you said, it's not a quote, but you said, we can't trust the FBI, the CDC, the DOJ, Department of Education, Secret Service.
00:45:07.000So if we can't trust these government agencies, and I don't, Then why should I trust the data that they put out when they say that 70% of children born in this country that look like me are born into a home without a father, and more than 50% of the violent crime in this country is committed by people that look like me?
00:47:05.000From the crime statistics, a lot of that is locally sourced.
00:47:08.000So it's state and local and county crime statistics that are then set up to the FBI. So that's usually more accurate and it's been third or four-party checked.
00:47:18.000But the biggest problem with the institutions is less about the data and it's more about what they do with the data.
00:47:26.000With COVID, Within 30 days, we knew what the COVID death rate was for people that did not have pre-existing conditions, that were not chronically overweight, and were under the age of 50.
00:47:39.000And the CDC knew it, and you knew it, yet they still decided to lock down the entire country and mask your kid and to make you wear a mask when you shower and shut down all the schools, all that stuff.
00:47:55.000It's more about, number one, the way our institutions are constituted, because we want strong institutions, is that it's a reverse meritocracy, that you ascend by failure, not by excellence, that Anthony Fauci climbed the ladders of NIH by failing and covering up on scandals his entire career.
00:48:13.000Read Bobby Kennedy's book, by the way, The Real Anthony Fauci.
00:48:17.000And not by having great ideas, but instead being a creature and an organism of Washington.
00:48:22.000So it's the way that we choose personnel.
00:48:25.000And then number two, the culture of our government agencies is far more about status quo protection and elite capture than it is about serving the interests of the American people.
00:48:36.000So the CDC is far more interested in making sure that Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, Johnson& Johnson are never held accountable for vaccine injuries.
00:48:45.000Than they are actually trying to promote the public health.
00:48:49.000And the best person on this, again, is Bobby Kennedy.
00:48:51.000So a final example, I could talk about this all day long, is the FDA. So the FDA will, we all agree on the data.
00:48:58.000You go to the FDA, they will say, okay, half of all kids are chronically obese.
00:49:25.000The FDA says what we need is we need taxpayer-funded Medicaid for kids to inject themselves on a permanent injection for the rest of their life.
00:49:34.000Only if you are a proxy or a employee of a Danish drug company could you believe something as insane as that, right?
00:49:43.000So I don't trust the institutions for those reasons.
00:49:45.000Some of the data I do trust, but it's more what they do with the data that I think is the biggest problem.
00:50:02.000My question today is, I got a lot of friends at GCU that frankly believe their vote doesn't matter.
00:50:08.000And the stakes this election, you know, they say it every year that the stakes, this is the biggest election ever held.
00:50:14.000And this one, that might be very true for us.
00:50:17.000So how can I lovingly convince them That their vote does matter and it actually is going to count towards something and just, you know, get involved with politics without, you know, being super corrupt.
00:50:30.000I would suggest you have them look up the congressional record for January the 10th, 1963, in which Congressman Herlong of Florida read in the 45 goals of communism in America and see how many of them are true in which Congressman Herlong of Florida read in the 45 goals of communism in America and see how many of them are true
00:50:56.000And the only way that we can stop it is exercising the power of the vote, which our founding fathers left in the hands of we the people, knowing that one day we would reach this stage, that there might be a time when government could not be trusted, that there might be a time when government could not be trusted, but that the people That's the only way.
00:51:19.000And you've got to convince them of that.
00:51:21.000Yeah, so are these people that think that their vote is going to be stolen or is that...
00:51:28.000I think they also think that they frankly just don't matter and there's too many other opinions that differ from them.
00:51:34.000Okay, so, yeah, again, this is, I don't know the specific details of this case.
00:51:40.000I gotta be honest, though, of all the objections that I hear in my career, someone telling me that they don't have four minutes to fill out a piece of paper to save the country is the one where I have, like, no patience, okay?
00:51:51.000These people will wait in a 45 minute TSA line to go on vacation in Orlando and they won't fill out a piece of paper that is 4 minutes so that we can save the civilization.
00:52:01.000I have no patience for that whatsoever and I honestly believe...
00:52:07.000I think it's an unclean spirit from the pit of hell to hypnotize us to believe that it's somehow a big waste of time to fill out a piece of paper.
00:53:36.000And it's very clear she doesn't have Jesus in her life.
00:53:38.000And so, I don't look at her as an obstacle, but as an opportunity, and I hope that Christ comes into her life, because that's no way that someone should talk, right?
00:53:47.000But you asked the question, and I think Dr.
00:53:50.000Carson would agree, because he has much better self-control than I do.
00:54:05.000And so when you invite the Holy Spirit in your life, you get things that your flesh does not have.
00:54:11.000I could tell you what my flesh wanted to do in that moment, but we are more than flesh when we invite the Spirit into us.
00:54:18.000You become, as in Romans 12, 2, it says, do not conform to the ways of this world, but instead be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
00:54:26.000And I like to believe that when I encounter some of these very hostile, aggressive college students, That it's not my flesh, but it's the Holy Spirit that is transforming me into a much better, hopefully holier version of myself.
00:54:43.000Because my flesh would love to kind of remark in that instance.
00:54:46.000But we all have things we need to work on.
00:54:50.000Self-control has definitely been mine.
00:54:52.000And praise God, the last 12 years, the Holy Spirit's been at great work on me in that regard.
00:55:31.000Me and a bunch of other people that I know some of them are here somewhere that I can't find but I know they're here.
00:55:36.000My question for you is I'm a senior graduate in college in April and I know how important it is to speak out about this election and our politics but there's a part of me that worries because I'm trying to find a job after I graduate and there's so many companies that will discriminate against people like me for Being vocal about my beliefs, especially in the field that I'm in, which is cybersecurity, which is very woke.
00:56:04.000So what's your advice on kind of facing persecution in the job market for your beliefs?
00:56:11.000Yeah, I would say if they're going to persecute you for your beliefs, you don't want to work for them anyway.
00:57:01.000It might be difficult, but that is a early test in your life of what you believe and why you believe it.
00:57:08.000Because if you take the job at, you know, CrowdStrike or some cybersecurity company, and you have to all of a sudden attend transgender trainings...
00:57:19.000And do mandatory white privilege seminars.
00:57:56.000Carson, I'm so grateful to be able to ask you this question.
00:57:59.000It's come to my attention recently that pregnant women, young women, are using marijuana while they're pregnant for morning sickness or whatever reason.
00:58:13.000In your professional opinion and what you know about the neurology and the development, how does marijuana affect the fetus?
00:58:21.000Well, there's not a tremendous amount of research on what it does to the fetus, but there is a growing body of evidence that it It's very deleterious for the developed brain.
