00:00:37.740 Yesterday, President Trump announced that he would become the first president in American history

00:00:42.700 to attend and address the March for Life, which is taking place as we speak.

00:00:47.820 We will examine how a man who once called himself, quote,

00:00:50.740 very pro-choice became the most pro-life president in American history.

00:00:55.180 Then, Democrat impeachment manager Adam Schiff accidentally explains

00:00:58.940 why Democrats are so eager to oust Trump before November

00:01:03.080 as the impeachment trial enters its agonizing second day.

00:01:07.480 And Tulsi Gabbard sues Hillary Clinton for defamation

00:01:10.080 because we are living in the greatest timeline.

00:01:13.180 Finally, the mailbag. All that and more.

00:01:14.640 I'm Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:16.340 What a great day.

00:01:25.400 It's the March for Life.

00:01:26.660 This is going to be a huge, I'll use huge as a Trump word,

00:01:31.900 demonstration for life and for the pre-born in Washington, D.C.

00:01:35.620 And, speaking of the president, he will become the first president

00:01:39.220 to attend and address the March for Life.

00:01:42.660 The March for Life began in 1974.

00:01:45.260 That was the year after Roe v. Wade was decided

00:01:47.840 and invented the fictitious constitutional right

00:01:51.320 to kill your own child in the womb. 0.96

00:01:53.620 And the March for Life has exploded in recent years.

00:01:57.680 I mean, it is just, they call it the pro-life generation.

00:02:00.960 I used to think that was wishful thinking.

00:02:02.720 It's not.

00:02:04.020 Every year, more and more people show up to the March for Life.

00:02:07.060 And yet, for some reason, no U.S. president has ever attended.

00:02:10.700 It's been going on since 1974.

00:02:13.880 You've had a lot of Republican presidents since then.

00:02:17.020 You had Richard Nixon, didn't attend.

00:02:19.820 Jerry Ford, didn't attend.

00:02:22.000 You had the Democrat, Jimmy Carter.

00:02:23.800 But you've got to remember, Jimmy Carter was a very Christian, evangelical, right?

00:02:28.280 He was a social conservative in some ways, Democrat.

00:02:32.700 He didn't show up.

00:02:33.920 Ronald Reagan, the great conservative president, he didn't show up.

00:02:38.040 Bill Clinton, no surprise there.

00:02:40.420 Bush won, not really a surprise there.

00:02:43.120 He and his family had supported Planned Parenthood, at least in the past.

00:02:46.920 Then, by the time he became vice president for Reagan, he came around to the pro-life side.

00:02:52.100 George W. Bush was a very pro-life candidate.

00:02:54.480 He did not attend the March for Life.

00:02:57.040 Barack Obama obviously did not attend.

00:02:59.640 Not until we got to President Donald Trump.

00:03:03.880 Do you have a president attending the March for Life?

00:03:06.480 And this is very ironic because of all those candidates,

00:03:11.400 President Trump in the past may have been the most outspoken in his support of abortion.

00:03:17.220 When President Trump was considering running for president on the Reform Party ticket in the late 90s,

00:03:23.660 he did an interview with NBC's Tim Russert in which he described himself as a very pro-choice.

00:03:31.100 Here is then potential candidate Trump.

00:03:33.700 Partial birth abortion, the eliminating of abortion in the third trimester, big issue in Washington.

00:03:40.880 Would President Trump ban partial birth abortions?

00:03:43.440 Well, look, I'm very pro-choice.

00:03:46.880 I hate the concept of abortion.

00:03:49.020 I hate it.

00:03:49.780 I hate everything it stands for.

00:03:51.100 I cringe when I listen to people debating the subject.

00:03:54.220 But you still, I just believe in choice.

00:03:56.740 And again, it may be a little bit of a New York background because there is some different attitude in different parts of the country.

00:04:03.520 And, you know, I was raised in New York and grew up and work and everything else in New York City.

00:04:08.520 But I am strongly for choice.

00:04:10.660 And yet I hate the concept of abortion.

00:04:13.300 But you would not ban it?

00:04:14.780 No.

00:04:14.980 Keep in mind, by the way, they're not talking about abortion in the first trimester here or the second trimester.

00:04:20.420 They're talking about late-term partial birth abortion.

00:04:23.940 This is when the baby looks exactly like a baby and you kill it as he's coming out of his mother's womb. 1.00

00:04:31.240 And President Trump says, I would have kept that legal.

00:04:33.640 That is a very, very pro-abortion position.

00:04:36.700 And yet in the 90s, it was a popular position.

00:04:39.780 And look, I come from New York.

00:04:40.880 I was in New York in the 90s.

00:04:42.180 This was, I think, the mainstream idea.

00:04:45.640 And actually, it was a former governor of New York, Mario Cuomo, who came up with the excuse President Trump is using there,

00:04:50.820 which is I personally hate abortion, but publicly I support abortion on demand without apology whenever you want.

00:04:57.040 So people throw this in President Trump's face.

00:04:59.240 I think the fact that Trump went from being very pro-choice to the most pro-life president ever illustrates a central truth of the pro-life movement.

00:05:08.040 We'll get to that in a second.

00:05:08.760 First, I've got to thank our friends over at Lightstream.

00:05:13.360 I have friends of mine, family members of mine, who run huge credit card balances.

00:05:19.120 Or even if they're running small credit card balances, they're paying huge interest rates.

00:05:23.400 Don't do that.

00:05:24.320 It is extremely dumb to throw that money away.

00:05:28.020 I mean, it is actually like setting on fire when you're carrying these high-interest credit card balances.

00:05:32.620 You can pay off those high-interest credit card balances and save money with a credit card consolidation loan from Lightstream.

00:05:41.480 And this is the key.

00:05:43.620 There are absolutely no fees.

00:05:46.420 No fees.

00:05:46.980 I know you don't believe that, but no application fee, no origination fee, no transaction fee, no prepayment penalties, no fees.

00:05:56.300 You, right now, if you are carrying these high-interest credit card balances, you are just throwing your money away.

00:06:02.540 Do not do it.

00:06:03.540 Right now, by the way, just for my listeners, you can apply now to get a special interest rate discount.

00:06:10.120 The only way to get this discount is to go to Lightstream.com slash Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S.

00:06:17.380 You know, we all talk about being fiscal conservatives over here.

00:06:20.820 And just on a personal level, we don't want to throw our money away.

00:06:24.000 Well, start that in your own behavior.

00:06:26.000 Start that at home.

00:06:26.720 Let Me Help You, that is L-I-G-H-T-S-T-R-E-A-M.com slash Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S, Lightstream.com slash Knowles.

00:06:39.600 Subject to credit approval, rate includes 0.5% auto-pay discount.

00:06:44.080 Terms and conditions apply and offers are subject to change without notice.

00:06:47.260 Lightstream.com slash Knowles for more information.

00:06:50.720 So President Trump in the 90s says,

00:06:52.520 I'm very pro-choice, I support partial birth abortion as a matter of the law,

00:06:57.220 and I hate it personally, but I support it politically.

00:07:01.100 A lot of people held that view.

00:07:03.140 I know a lot of people who held that view.

00:07:05.400 Then he changed his mind.

00:07:07.780 I think it is great when people change their mind on the question of abortion.

00:07:13.020 I once defended abortion. 0.90

00:07:15.320 I, for years, when I was a teenager, when I was ignorant, more ignorant,

00:07:19.680 I defended abortion. 0.76

00:07:22.220 Then I realized abortion is indefensible.

00:07:25.360 So now I'm pro-life.

00:07:26.400 It actually happened in Washington, D.C.

00:07:27.920 I had a conversation with a bioethicist who was a teacher of mine in a summer program,

00:07:32.620 and she asked me my views on abortion, and I said,

00:07:36.960 oh, I think it's fine, and I gave all these dumb arguments.

00:07:39.340 And she shot down each and every one of them,

00:07:41.540 and I had my eyes opened on the subject.

00:07:43.680 I'm not the only one.

00:07:44.680 Some of the most prominent voices in support of abortion

00:07:49.260 have flipped and become some of the most prominent voices in support of life

00:07:54.900 when they examined the evidence, when they saw the reality of abortion.

00:07:59.180 I'm talking about Norma McCorvey.

00:08:01.120 You might not recognize that name,

00:08:03.360 but you would recognize her pseudonym, which is Jane Roe,

00:08:06.660 the woman who was used by opportunistic lawyers in Roe v. Wade,

00:08:11.860 the case that 47 years ago invented the fictional constitutional right to abortion.

00:08:18.520 That woman became one of the most prominent pro-life advocates in the country. 0.71

00:08:25.240 She said that her participation in Roe v. Wade,

00:08:28.500 her allowing herself to be used by those predator lawyers, 0.87

00:08:32.800 was the biggest regret of her life.

00:08:35.540 How about Dr. Bernard Nathanson?

00:08:37.780 Dr. Bernard Nathanson was the founder of NARAL.

00:08:40.840 That was the National Abortion Rights League.

00:08:43.380 They've changed what the letters mean over the years,

00:08:46.440 but it remains the most prominent pro-abortion advocacy organization in the country,

00:08:51.100 I suppose, other than Planned Parenthood.

00:08:53.460 That guy, co-founder of NARAL, became a very prominent pro-life advocate

00:08:58.160 because he saw the reality of abortion,

00:09:00.700 and he also exposed a lot of the lies that the abortion industry tells you.

00:09:04.800 Like, for instance, they would say,

00:09:05.980 before Roe v. Wade, 5,000 women a year were dying from back-alley abortions. 1.00

00:09:11.640 Turns out that's completely made up.

00:09:13.520 As Bernard Nathanson said,

00:09:14.800 that they plucked that number out of thin air.

00:09:16.580 It just sounded good.

00:09:17.860 Actually, when you look at the numbers,

00:09:19.460 you're talking about a couple dozen or a few dozen women 1.00

00:09:21.920 who died from back-alley abortions.

00:09:23.840 And as just a percentage of the abortion procedures done in states

00:09:29.440 where abortion was legal and where it was illegal,

00:09:31.620 it was no less safe than legal abortions at that time.

00:09:35.300 It was just a complete lie peddled by the abortion industry. 0.81

00:09:38.940 Dr. Bernard Nathanson became a huge pro-life advocate.

00:09:41.980 Abby Johnson.

00:09:43.160 Abby Johnson is the focus of that movie, Unplanned. 0.85

00:09:46.300 Abby Johnson worked for Planned Parenthood.

00:09:48.460 She was being promoted up the ranks.

00:09:50.020 Then she saw the reality of abortion.

00:09:52.440 Now she is a major pro-life advocate.

00:09:55.720 We have changed our minds on that subject.

00:09:58.480 It's important to be able to change your minds

00:10:00.600 when new evidence presents itself.

00:10:02.260 And every single day,

00:10:05.300 the evidence becomes clearer on the side of life.

00:10:07.680 You know, if we were to just lock ourselves in a box

00:10:09.820 and just think abstractly about abortion,

00:10:13.580 still the arguments would be clearly on the side of life.

00:10:17.420 Still, they would all be against abortion.

00:10:21.080 But if you just locked yourself in a box and thought about it

00:10:23.980 or had a philosophical debate over a couple drinks with a friend,

00:10:27.760 maybe you could rationalize the case for abortion.

00:10:31.300 It's very easy to rationalize things, right?

00:10:34.180 But when you see a sonogram,

00:10:36.860 when you see a 3D sonogram,

00:10:38.280 which now are ubiquitous,

00:10:41.640 virtually everybody can access them.

00:10:43.520 You can see that it's not just a weird little gray clump on a screen.

00:10:47.440 It's a baby.

00:10:49.360 From very early on,

00:10:50.740 abortion in virtually every single case stops a beating heart.

00:10:55.660 Now, these are not exactly arguments.

00:10:57.380 I mean, the arguments from fetal pain.

00:10:58.700 We just heard the other day

00:10:59.560 that babies as early as 13 weeks can feel pain.

00:11:02.420 People used to think it was 24 or 26 weeks.

00:11:05.600 Those are not really arguments.

00:11:07.360 I mean, I don't think that the reason that we shouldn't kill babies

00:11:09.440 is because they can feel pain.

00:11:10.800 I think the reason we shouldn't kill babies is that they're babies.

00:11:12.780 I don't think the reason we shouldn't kill babies

00:11:14.740 is because their faces look pretty cute

00:11:17.100 and they look like a two-year-old baby's face.

00:11:20.400 I don't care how ugly their faces are.

00:11:22.240 I don't think you should kill babies because they're babies.

00:11:25.940 But the arguments are not enough.

00:11:28.180 They're insufficient.

00:11:29.180 You have to see it as well.

00:11:31.180 A picture is worth a thousand words,

00:11:32.580 and I think that's what's happened to a lot of people

00:11:34.720 who have changed their minds.

00:11:36.320 And I can tell you people change their minds on pro-life

00:11:39.040 because it's happened in my own experience.

00:11:40.860 President Trump now has the strongest pro-life record

00:11:43.340 of any president in American history.

00:11:46.240 Most importantly, the judges.

00:11:47.860 He's appointed textualist, originalist, conservative judges,

00:11:51.760 judges who will push back on the ridiculous invention

00:11:55.880 of a fictional right to abortion.

00:11:58.060 Trump defunded Planned Parenthood

00:11:59.520 to the tune of $60 million through Title X.

00:12:01.960 Now, obviously, Planned Parenthood receives

00:12:03.680 upwards of $500 million from the federal government,

00:12:07.220 so there's a long ways to go.

00:12:08.380 But he's defunded over 10% of it

00:12:10.800 through the mechanisms of the executive branch.

00:12:13.040 You would need the Congress to defund the rest of it.

00:12:16.820 He stopped taxpayer funding for abortion overseas,

00:12:19.280 also known as the Mexico City Policy.

00:12:22.460 He reinstituted that.

00:12:24.960 He has allowed states to deprive Planned Parenthood

00:12:27.620 of Medicaid funds.

00:12:28.860 He's defunded other pro-abortion organizations,

00:12:31.380 and now he's become the first president in U.S. history

00:12:34.760 to attend and address the March for Life.

00:12:38.680 That's a great record.

00:12:39.900 That is something we should all get behind.

00:12:41.840 And, you know, very often we hear critics of Trump

00:12:44.340 on the left and even some on the right

00:12:46.100 assail President Trump's character.

00:12:49.480 I think that record on pro-life,

00:12:52.360 on a central, crucial issue,

00:12:55.460 an issue literally of life and death,

00:12:57.780 speaks very well of his character,

00:12:59.680 and I think he deserves a lot of credit for it.

00:13:02.140 I think it's courageous.

00:13:03.600 I think there's a reason that previous Republican presidents

00:13:06.740 have not gone as far as he has,

00:13:09.180 and I think we should all tip our hats to him

00:13:11.700 and thank him for his great support of life.

00:13:14.800 Other people not so supportive of life.

00:13:16.700 For instance, at the New York Times,

00:13:18.360 there is an op-ed by a writer in the New York Times

00:13:21.580 just went up yesterday on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

00:13:24.880 The title is,

00:13:26.700 I'll Never Be Ashamed of My Abortion.

00:13:29.800 Just from the title,

00:13:31.700 something tells me this author is protesting

00:13:34.040 a little bit too much.

00:13:35.460 Something tells me the author maybe does regret her abortion,

00:13:39.140 and she's trying to insist that she doesn't,

00:13:42.560 but let's see what she writes.

00:13:44.100 She says, quote,

00:13:44.820 I want my daughters to have the same agency over their bodies as I did. 1.00

00:13:50.220 I'm worried they won't.

00:13:53.100 I am a medium brown-skinned,

00:13:55.360 neither rich dark chocolate nor creamy cafe au lait.

00:13:59.420 I'm a B-cup and have, for a black girl, a barely-there butt. 0.99

00:14:03.160 I have flat feet and oily skin,

00:14:04.860 and like so many American women of reproductive age, 0.94

00:14:07.660 I've had an abortion.

00:14:09.020 So, obviously, the first part of that is completely irrelevant.

00:14:15.960 The color of her skin and her breast size and her butt 1.00

00:14:19.520 and her feet and the oil on her skin,

00:14:23.660 none of that is relevant.

00:14:25.040 What she's trying to say is that these are all mundane,

00:14:27.620 sort of trivial characteristics,

00:14:29.440 and likewise, I've had an abortion,

00:14:33.120 and that's also irrelevant.

00:14:34.460 It doesn't really matter at all.

00:14:35.600 I think part of this, too,

00:14:37.600 is to check off some of the intersectional boxes

00:14:40.060 because the New York Times is obsessed

00:14:41.820 with racial and sexual identity politics.

00:14:44.580 But here's the money line, right?

00:14:47.000 She says,

00:14:48.160 I and I alone made the decision to terminate a pregnancy

00:14:51.400 more than a decade ago

00:14:52.820 so that I could be the best mother I could be

00:14:56.300 to the two children I already had.

00:15:00.980 This doesn't make any sense.

00:15:03.600 Killing your children can never make you a good mother.

00:15:09.880 I mean, it's not possible.

00:15:11.680 I'm not saying this woman is the devil,

00:15:13.320 that she's the worst person ever, 0.79

00:15:14.680 she can never be forgiven for her sins.

00:15:16.720 She could be forgiven for her sins,

00:15:18.180 and she might have other fine attributes. 1.00

00:15:22.000 But simply by definition,

00:15:24.300 if you kill your children,

00:15:27.420 that action cannot make you a better mother.

00:15:30.280 Being a mother means nurturing your children. 0.99

00:15:35.180 If you kill them,

00:15:36.440 that is the opposite of being a good mother.

00:15:40.500 Now, this is an argument you often hear from people.

00:15:42.680 They say,

00:15:42.960 look, I want to decide how many children I have.

00:15:45.940 So if I've already got two children

00:15:48.020 and then I get pregnant,

00:15:49.060 I only want two children,

00:15:50.300 so I'm going to decide how many children I have.

00:15:51.800 You lost the right to decide how many children you have

00:15:56.540 when you had another child.

00:15:58.880 The issue here isn't when you're going to give birth

00:16:00.940 or anything like that.

00:16:02.040 You already have the child.

00:16:03.600 The only question is,

00:16:04.480 do you kill the child,

00:16:05.620 do you give the child away in adoption,

00:16:07.300 or do you raise the child yourself?

00:16:09.380 If this woman didn't want to raise another child, 1.00

00:16:11.200 she could have just given it away for adoption.

00:16:13.040 There are way, way, way more couples in the United States

00:16:17.140 who want to adopt American children 0.98

00:16:18.640 than there are American children,

00:16:21.080 American babies out to be adopted.

00:16:23.320 So she could have just done that.

00:16:25.360 She didn't do that. 0.99

00:16:27.220 She took the path of killing her child. 0.98

00:16:31.280 It's a terrible thing.

00:16:32.220 I'm sure she faces a lot of regret

00:16:33.680 and a lot of shame about that.

00:16:36.740 We hear this a lot from people

00:16:38.440 who were pro-abortion advocates

00:16:39.600 and then became pro-life advocates.

00:16:40.840 They talk about the guilt

00:16:41.720 and how they were denying the guilt all the time.

00:16:43.800 So I actually have a lot of pity for the woman, 1.00

00:16:46.320 but she's lying when she said she didn't have a choice.

00:16:50.420 She's lying when she said it was about raising the children

00:16:52.500 she already had

00:16:53.620 rather than having to raise another child.

00:16:57.060 And she's lying about killing children, 0.99

00:16:59.460 making you a good mother.

00:17:00.440 It's just not possible.

00:17:02.080 And the lies that go along with Roe versus Wade

00:17:06.380 and abortion advocacy,

00:17:08.440 those lies have such pernicious effects,

00:17:10.740 not just on the individual,

00:17:13.860 not just on society,

00:17:15.760 but on our whole legal system,

00:17:17.380 on our whole politics.

00:17:18.340 We'll see how in a second.

00:17:20.240 The impeachment fight that we're in right now

00:17:22.300 in many ways can be traced right back to Roe versus Wade.

00:17:25.520 We'll get to that in a second.

00:17:26.280 First, I've got to thank our friends over at Rock Auto.

00:17:29.140 I love rockauto.com.

00:17:30.560 I like them from the very beginning

00:17:32.920 just because they're a family business.

00:17:34.440 Rockauto.com has been serving auto parts customers online

00:17:37.820 for 20 years.

00:17:39.100 And when you think about the history of online,

00:17:41.620 it's pretty much the whole time.

00:17:43.240 You can go to rockauto.com

00:17:44.880 to shop for auto and body parts

00:17:46.380 from hundreds of manufacturers.

00:17:48.600 from engine control modules and brake parts

00:17:50.680 to tail lamps, motor oil,

00:17:52.400 even new carpet.

00:17:54.020 They've got it all.

00:17:55.120 What I really like about Rock Auto

00:17:56.840 is that even I can understand this website.

00:17:59.680 Because here's what happens.

00:18:00.540 Your car breaks down.

00:18:01.300 This happened to me,

00:18:02.100 I guess now about five, six months ago.

00:18:04.340 Car breaks down.

00:18:05.020 You go to the auto body shop.

00:18:08.040 You say, okay, I need these parts.

00:18:09.680 They never have the parts in.

00:18:10.960 They just go online.

00:18:12.000 They order the parts

00:18:12.680 and then they charge you a huge markup.

00:18:14.140 You don't need to do that.

00:18:14.940 You can go to rockauto.com.

00:18:16.320 Their catalog is so easy to navigate.

00:18:39.640 in their How Did You Hear About Us box

00:18:40.900 so they can know that we sent you.

00:18:43.320 Rockauto.com.

00:18:45.440 AOC is pushing this kind of nonsense.

00:18:48.240 These incoherent arguments about abortion.

00:18:50.660 She tweeted out yesterday

00:18:51.840 with regard to a visa issue

00:18:55.580 from the Trump administration.

00:18:57.000 Trump administration is complicating visas

00:18:59.280 for pregnant women who are traveling here

00:19:02.180 as part of the longstanding immigration fight, right?

00:19:06.500 But it includes now pregnant women. 0.97

00:19:08.640 And she says, pregnant women. 0.93

00:19:11.780 This administration is now targeting pregnant women.

00:19:16.720 When you single out the most vulnerable,

00:19:20.000 the cruelty is the point.

00:19:22.220 Hashtag abolish ICE.

00:19:24.140 Hashtag break up customs and border protection.

00:19:27.160 The most vulnerable.

00:19:31.880 Why are pregnant women vulnerable? 1.00

00:19:35.800 How are pregnant women vulnerable?

00:19:39.120 Because what the left has been telling us

00:19:41.240 for 50 years now

00:19:42.420 is that pregnant women 0.99

00:19:45.560 are no different than you and me.

00:19:47.500 They've just got a little clump of cells in them.

00:19:49.800 You know, I've got my appendix.

00:19:51.220 Some people have had their appendix removed.

00:19:52.820 Some people have a clump of cells.

00:19:55.040 A fetus.

00:19:55.500 An embryo.

00:19:57.180 A zygote, they say.

00:20:00.320 A zygote is the very, very first stage of an embryo.

00:20:03.980 And the baby is a zygote for about five seconds.

00:20:07.260 But the pro-abortion people want to pretend

00:20:09.660 that it's just this little microscopic clump of cells

00:20:12.740 until a full nine months

00:20:13.860 and then a baby pops out all fresh.

00:20:17.460 That's what they say.

00:20:18.440 It's totally, it doesn't matter at all.

00:20:19.800 It's nothing.

00:20:20.340 It has no human dignity.

00:20:22.060 It's no different than a polyp or a tumor

00:20:24.940 or a parasite.

00:20:26.060 Parasite.

00:20:26.820 That's the word that they often use.

00:20:29.040 Well, okay.

00:20:29.640 If it's just a,

00:20:31.100 if it's just like a little polyp or something

00:20:33.520 or a little appendage that you don't need,

00:20:36.560 then why are pregnant women vulnerable? 0.92

00:20:39.040 They wouldn't be.

00:20:40.300 The reason pregnant women are vulnerable 1.00

00:20:42.080 is because they have a new life

00:20:44.980 forming inside of them.

00:20:46.640 That's the reason why

00:20:47.900 throughout most of this country,

00:20:50.260 if you murder a pregnant woman,

00:20:52.000 you're charged with double homicide.

00:20:54.900 Now, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense logically

00:20:57.060 that if you murder a pregnant woman,

00:20:58.520 you're charged with double homicide.

00:21:00.100 But if that woman goes to the Planned Parenthood clinic 1.00

00:21:02.140 and kills her own child, 1.00

00:21:03.500 that's all well and good.

00:21:04.820 And actually it's a wonderful thing

00:21:06.020 and you should shout your abortion 0.84

00:21:07.000 and never regret it.

00:21:08.500 Obviously those two things can't be true at once.

00:21:11.520 And so to resolve this cognitive dissonance,

00:21:14.040 in New York,

00:21:14.720 what they're doing is passing radical abortion laws, 0.97

00:21:16.920 like the one they passed just a couple years ago,

00:21:19.060 which changes the penal code

00:21:21.800 and says if you murder a pregnant woman,

00:21:23.500 it's not double homicide,

00:21:24.460 it's single homicide.

00:21:25.520 They're trying to resolve this in their heads,

00:21:27.420 but they're lagging in their arguments.

00:21:29.360 So AOC fell into this trap.

00:21:30.880 She said, oh, the pregnant women are so vulnerable. 1.00

00:21:33.220 Why are they vulnerable?

00:21:34.580 They are only vulnerable

00:21:35.740 if they've got a baby inside of them.

00:21:37.440 And if they've got a baby inside of them,

00:21:38.640 they should not be able to kill it.

00:21:42.120 Roe versus Wade has far worse implications,

00:21:44.600 not just on our argumentation,

00:21:48.060 on these stupid, incoherent arguments.

00:21:51.080 They've got terrible implications for our politics.

00:21:54.660 They've got terrible implications for our government.

00:21:56.520 They've got terrible implications

00:21:57.540 even for the impeachment trial, okay?

00:22:00.260 It's given us division,

00:22:01.760 political uncertainty, and impeachment.

00:22:04.320 How?

00:22:04.760 How has Roe versus Wade given us impeachment?

00:22:07.440 Because so much now of the presidential battles

00:22:10.640 are about the judges.

00:22:12.740 2016, the single most important issue in 2016

00:22:16.600 was the replacement of Antonin Scalia

00:22:19.140 on the Supreme Court.

00:22:21.000 And the left wanted to replace him

00:22:22.260 with a left-wing judge,

00:22:24.180 and the right wanted to replace him

00:22:26.540 with a textualist judge.

00:22:29.120 The court was almost perfectly balanced,

00:22:32.340 and so it really mattered

00:22:33.820 which way that was gonna swing.

00:22:36.040 Why do they care so much about the courts?

00:22:38.340 Time and again, the left admits it.

00:22:42.100 They say the reason that they care about the courts

00:22:44.040 is abortion, is Roe versus Wade,

00:22:45.960 because there is no constitutional argument

00:22:48.040 for legal abortion everywhere.

00:22:51.940 Show me in the Constitution

00:22:53.260 where James Madison outlined the right

00:22:55.620 to kill your own child. 0.75

00:22:57.000 It simply does not exist.

00:22:58.960 And now, even left-wing legal scholars

00:23:01.800 barely pretend that this exists.

00:23:05.200 Often they'll admit it doesn't exist,

00:23:06.740 but it was very important

00:23:08.660 for the Supreme Court to decide this,

00:23:11.120 to invent this legal right to abortion.

00:23:13.740 Well, it's caused a lot of division now.

00:23:16.040 It's caused a lot of anxiety

00:23:17.700 because we're no longer arguing

00:23:19.020 about what the Constitution says.

00:23:21.040 We're no longer arguing about

00:23:22.340 a reasonable and objective interpretation

00:23:24.780 of the Constitution.

00:23:26.280 We're just arguing about

00:23:27.700 how to push our own personal interests.

00:23:30.660 You know, Antonin Scalia,

00:23:31.500 I got to meet him twice before he died,

00:23:33.240 which was probably the coolest experience

00:23:35.480 I've ever had in politics.

00:23:36.820 And he had this category,

00:23:38.580 which was SBC.

00:23:41.880 He said, certain things can be stupid,

00:23:44.800 but constitutional.

00:23:46.740 Certain laws can be stupid,

00:23:48.360 but constitutional.

00:23:50.180 The Constitution does not address every problem.

00:23:53.120 Not everything hateful or odious

00:23:54.560 or wonderful and beautiful

00:23:56.060 is addressed by some provision

00:23:57.700 of the Constitution.

00:23:59.160 And a key example of this would be abortion.

00:24:02.240 The Constitution does not outlaw abortion.

00:24:04.360 Likewise, the Constitution does not create

00:24:07.420 some legal right to abortion.

00:24:08.940 It's simply not addressed.

00:24:10.360 And it was a question left to the states.

00:24:12.000 If the question had been left to the states,

00:24:14.040 you might have seen a greater liberalization

00:24:16.220 of abortion laws.

00:24:17.340 And then I suspect as sonogram technology got better,

00:24:19.840 you would probably see a greater restriction

00:24:22.820 on abortion.

00:24:23.660 And probably New York would have abortion 1.00

00:24:25.180 and probably Alabama wouldn't have abortion. 1.00

00:24:26.960 That would be a much healthier state

00:24:28.320 for the country.

00:24:29.280 We could then go fight for pro-life

00:24:30.940 in New York specifically.

00:24:32.000 It would make it much easier.

00:24:33.600 And you would not be in a situation

00:24:35.240 where the left is so desperate

00:24:36.720 to maintain their right to kill babies

00:24:38.560 that they're willing to throw out

00:24:40.560 the duly elected president for it.

00:24:44.160 That is how deep the rot runs.

00:24:49.040 On impeachment, by the way,

00:24:50.200 we have a little bit to cover on impeachment.

00:24:53.280 The rot of impeachment is spreading out

00:24:55.520 to the presidential race.

00:24:56.640 It's spreading out all throughout the Senate.

00:24:58.780 And the media aren't helping it either.

00:25:00.340 We will get to that in just one moment.

00:25:02.380 We will get to the greatest news story of the day,

00:25:04.600 Tulsi Gabbard suing Hillary Clinton for defamation.

00:25:07.980 And we will get to President Trump's

00:25:09.720 excellent comments on the environment.

00:25:11.020 We will get to the mailbag.

00:25:11.820 But first, I have got to thank our friends

00:25:13.960 over at First Leaf.

00:25:15.920 Oh, how I love First Leaf,

00:25:18.540 a sponsor near and dear to my heart.

00:25:21.740 First Leaf will send you excellent wine.

00:25:25.720 Wines often that you've never heard about,

00:25:27.700 wines that you wouldn't have been able

00:25:29.380 to pick out in a store.

00:25:30.360 How do you get started?

00:25:31.340 So I got started with First Leaf.

00:25:32.660 I took a wine quiz to assess

00:25:34.580 my exact wine drinking preferences,

00:25:37.400 whether that means sweetness, style,

00:25:39.640 how adventurous I am.

00:25:40.960 I put this all into the computer, right?

00:25:43.060 And so First Leaf takes that into consideration,

00:25:45.640 but they also don't totally believe me

00:25:47.500 because I don't know,

00:25:48.620 I can't really describe my palate that well.

00:25:50.820 So they create this introductory

00:25:52.320 six pack of wine for me,

00:25:53.480 all for just $29.95 total.

00:25:56.080 This is six bottles of wine for $29.95.

00:25:59.100 These wines usually sell for at least $20 each.

00:26:03.140 They send it to me and I try them.

00:26:04.700 And I say, okay, well, you know,

00:26:06.580 that's a really good wine.

00:26:07.460 I really, really like that.

00:26:08.760 That one, that one's okay.

00:26:09.960 Maybe I wouldn't do any more of those.

00:26:11.340 That's fine.

00:26:12.200 And then you go online and you rate them.

00:26:13.860 And based on your ratings,

00:26:15.060 First Leaf gets much, much more specific

00:26:16.840 on your taste.

00:26:18.040 And they start sending you the next shipment.

00:26:20.580 Look, First Leaf sends out more than 17,000

00:26:22.560 unique shipments of wine every month.

00:26:23.920 They know what they're doing

00:26:24.660 because everyone's tastes are different.

00:26:26.240 I try this second batch.

00:26:28.380 It's unbelievable.

00:26:29.760 So that's where my freebie was supposed to run out,

00:26:31.660 but I couldn't give it up.

00:26:32.620 So I now get this every month and it's fabulous.

00:26:34.940 And I just love it.

00:26:35.560 And you're going to love it too.

00:26:36.280 Sign up with my link

00:26:37.120 and you will get an exclusive intro offer,

00:26:52.580 On to impeachment.

00:26:53.640 Joe Biden thinks that impeachment

00:26:56.040 is going to make Trump harder to beat in November.

00:26:58.880 This is according to comments he made at a campaign stop

00:27:01.360 just the other day.

00:27:03.940 Many people, when they look at impeachment,

00:27:05.940 are suggesting that Joe Biden

00:27:07.460 is the great beneficiary of impeachment, right?

00:27:10.580 Because you've got Liz Warren, Amy Klobuchar,

00:27:15.440 Bernie Sanders are all stuck in the Senate

00:27:17.580 during the impeachment trial.

00:27:18.780 Joe Biden's out there in Iowa campaigning.

00:27:20.540 Now we're something like 15 days out

00:27:22.360 from the Iowa caucus.

00:27:25.100 Actually, Joe Biden might get hurt by impeachment.

00:27:27.360 This might backfire on him

00:27:29.140 because Hunter Biden might get dragged

00:27:30.980 before the Senate.

00:27:32.780 You know, I'm doing a new podcast with Ted Cruz

00:27:35.140 that is coming out every single night.

00:27:37.660 Senator Cruz is going to leave the Capitol

00:27:39.400 after the impeachment trial,

00:27:41.140 head on over to our studios here in Washington, D.C.

00:27:43.420 And then he's going to break down for us

00:27:45.040 exactly what happened last night.

00:27:46.760 And you can check this out on the second episode

00:27:49.240 of Verdict with Ted Cruz.

00:27:51.080 It's out now.

00:27:53.160 Senator Cruz pointed out that this all might backfire.

00:27:56.840 The House Democrats may have opened themselves up

00:27:58.900 to a major, major problem for Joe Biden

00:28:02.380 in the impeachment.

00:28:03.680 So none of these Democratic presidential candidates

00:28:05.980 are really doing very well here.

00:28:07.820 Nevertheless, Adam Schiff,

00:28:11.100 who is the leader of the House impeachment circus,

00:28:14.500 he accidentally yesterday

00:28:16.260 explained why the Democrats

00:28:17.820 are still really pushing for impeachment.

00:28:20.240 He said the reason is

00:28:21.280 they just don't think they can win it in November.

00:28:24.560 The president's misconduct

00:28:25.880 cannot be decided at the ballot box,

00:28:29.640 for we cannot be assured

00:28:31.420 that the vote will be fairly won.

00:28:34.920 All right, that's what he says.

00:28:36.880 We can't be assured

00:28:37.880 that the vote would be legitimate.

00:28:40.840 Look, if we took,

00:28:41.820 we would take it to the ballot box,

00:28:43.200 but, you know, then Trump might win.

00:28:46.060 And of course he wouldn't win fairly.

00:28:47.740 I mean, no Republican could ever, ever win fairly,

00:28:50.380 but still he might win

00:28:52.020 and we can't take that chance.

00:28:53.300 So we want to remove him from office now

00:28:55.160 before it's too late.

00:28:56.740 Give me a break.

00:28:57.900 Shows you a little bit about liberalism here.

00:29:01.660 The Harvard law professor Adrian Vermeule

00:29:04.340 posted this yesterday on Twitter.

00:29:07.660 Progressivism, liberalism,

00:29:09.460 just assumes that by definition,

00:29:12.520 it can never lose fair and square.

00:29:15.300 Because progressivism says

00:29:16.740 there is a clear path to progress.

00:29:18.600 There's a clear place we're going.

00:29:20.200 If you stop progress,

00:29:22.160 if you halt progress,

00:29:23.160 that is by definition wrong

00:29:25.400 and unjust and unfair.

00:29:27.280 And so it's always got to be a stolen election.

00:29:30.080 That's why Al Gore,

00:29:31.820 he couldn't possibly have fairly lost in 2000.

00:29:34.560 That's why he wouldn't give up the election.

00:29:37.180 Hillary Clinton in 2016,

00:29:38.540 same thing.

00:29:38.980 She lost.

00:29:39.480 She lost the electoral vote clearly.

00:29:41.500 And yet,

00:29:42.440 she refused to concede the election

00:29:44.520 for hours and hours.

00:29:45.500 She wouldn't even show up on election night.

00:29:47.900 Because it's not possible

00:29:49.000 to lose fair and square,

00:29:50.660 according to progressivism.

00:29:53.460 The media aren't helping this either.

00:29:54.820 They're actually further confusing this.

00:29:56.940 Joe Lockhart,

00:29:58.040 who is a CNN contributor

00:29:59.080 and former press secretary

00:30:00.360 for President Bill Clinton,

00:30:03.680 he posted on Twitter

00:30:04.900 a completely fabricated conversation,

00:30:07.600 totally fabricated conversation.

00:30:08.980 He says,

00:30:09.300 quote,

00:30:09.920 overheard convo between two Republican senators

00:30:12.380 who only watch Fox News.

00:30:14.080 Is this stuff real?

00:30:15.440 I haven't heard any of this before.

00:30:17.240 I thought it was all about a server.

00:30:19.160 If half the stuff Schiff is saying is true,

00:30:21.780 we're up Schiff's Creek.

00:30:24.060 Let's say Schiff.

00:30:24.920 He said a different word.

00:30:26.700 Hope the White House

00:30:27.480 has exculpatory evidence.

00:30:29.920 That got 8,000 retweets,

00:30:31.260 31,000 likes on Twitter.

00:30:33.080 Then,

00:30:33.480 afterward,

00:30:34.200 Lockhart says,

00:30:34.980 okay,

00:30:35.280 maybe I made up the convo.

00:30:36.740 But you know that's exactly

00:30:38.140 what they're thinking.

00:30:40.060 So he just admits,

00:30:41.220 I totally made that up.

00:30:42.320 I was totally fictitious.

00:30:44.340 That second tweet got 800 retweets

00:30:46.520 and 8,500 likes.

00:30:48.660 There were an order of magnitude

00:30:50.420 more retweets to the fake news

00:30:52.400 than there was to the correction,

00:30:55.240 to the admission

00:30:55.780 that that was not true.

00:30:58.220 We've got to get to Tulsi suing Hillary, 0.98

00:31:00.140 which is just so, so great.

00:31:02.180 We'll get to an important line

00:31:03.420 from Trump on the environment,

00:31:04.440 and then we'll get to the mailbag.

00:31:05.500 But first,

00:31:06.420 before all of that,

00:31:07.720 I've got to tell you

00:31:09.600 about Paint Your Life,

00:31:10.520 which I absolutely love.

00:31:11.720 If you want to give a meaningful gift,

00:31:13.540 go to paintyourlife.com.

00:31:14.960 What is Paint Your Life?

00:31:15.880 You can have an original painting

00:31:17.120 of yourself,

00:31:18.060 your kids,

00:31:18.820 your family,

00:31:19.660 a place that you all love,

00:31:21.080 a favorite pet.

00:31:22.300 You can have an original painting

00:31:23.680 made at a price

00:31:25.080 that you can afford,

00:31:26.280 and that's at paintyourlife.com.

00:31:27.820 I want to be clear.

00:31:29.160 This is not some computerized gimmick.

00:31:31.020 This is a true painting

00:31:32.320 done by hand

00:31:33.300 by a world-class artist,

00:31:35.520 all created from a favorite photo.

00:31:37.660 It makes the perfect gift

00:31:38.600 for any holiday.

00:31:40.140 I was a little skeptical.

00:31:42.660 I didn't think you could get

00:31:43.400 a really good painting like this

00:31:44.520 through an online vendor,

00:31:46.800 so for my stepbrother's wedding,

00:31:49.280 I decided to try it out on him.

00:31:50.780 I uploaded one of his wedding photos.

00:31:52.820 You get to pick the artist.

00:31:53.900 You get to work with the artist

00:31:54.620 throughout the process.

00:31:55.460 You get to see a bunch

00:31:56.200 of different updates.

00:31:58.560 If you don't love the final painting,

00:32:00.020 your money is refunded,

00:32:00.940 so I get the painting.

00:32:01.680 I look at it.

00:32:02.480 It's absolutely beautiful.

00:32:04.000 Absolutely beautiful.

00:32:04.880 I mean, unbelievable work,

00:32:07.060 and I'm already planning

00:32:09.780 to use them again

00:32:10.840 for more paintings.

00:32:11.700 It's just so, so cool.

00:32:13.000 Right now is a limited-time offer.

00:32:14.320 You can get 30% off your painting.

00:32:16.660 That is 30% off,

00:32:19.020 3-0, and free shipping

00:32:20.280 to get this special offer.

00:32:21.680 Text Michael, M-I-C-H-A-E-L,

00:32:23.220 to 64,000.

00:32:24.260 You will not regret it.

00:32:25.640 Michael to 64,000.

00:32:26.960 Text M-I-C-H-A-E-L to 64,000.

00:32:29.820 All right.

00:32:30.760 Before we get into the mailbag,

00:32:33.420 before we get into Tulsi,

00:32:34.320 before we get into a great

00:32:35.320 environmental speech

00:32:37.020 that President Trump just gave

00:32:38.160 that no one's talking about,

00:32:39.700 I've got to say goodbye

00:32:40.560 to Facebook and YouTube.

00:32:42.300 We were talking about pro-life today,

00:32:43.680 obviously,

00:32:44.040 for the anniversary

00:32:44.820 of Roe v. Wade

00:32:45.720 and for the March for Life.

00:32:47.020 While the pro-abortion activists

00:32:48.360 are shouting their abortions

00:32:49.520 on national TV

00:32:50.440 and referring to pre-born babies

00:32:52.220 as parasites,

00:32:53.520 pro-lifers are fighting back.

00:32:54.900 All of us here at The Daily Wire

00:32:56.140 have spoken out for life.

00:32:57.840 Last year,

00:32:58.280 Ben Shapiro addressed

00:32:59.100 a crowd of 100,000

00:33:00.300 at the March for Life

00:33:01.580 in Washington, D.C.

00:33:03.680 Our advertisers,

00:33:04.960 as a result of those actions,

00:33:06.280 were targeted

00:33:06.940 by left-wing fake media

00:33:08.860 watchdogs and operatives,

00:33:10.300 and we lost a lot

00:33:11.320 of revenue from that.

00:33:12.080 This is a constant battle

00:33:13.440 to protect pro-life advocacy

00:33:15.120 from the forces of abortion.

00:33:17.940 Another group

00:33:18.360 that has experienced

00:33:19.000 this is live action.

00:33:20.260 Live action is one

00:33:21.000 of the most important voices

00:33:22.100 in the pro-life movement.

00:33:23.420 They have helped

00:33:23.740 to expose Planned Parenthood

00:33:25.060 and other abortion clinics

00:33:26.580 for the horrific crimes

00:33:27.760 they commit.

00:33:28.820 Pro-abortion activists

00:33:29.660 have targeted live action

00:33:30.960 and censored them

00:33:31.980 on social media platforms

00:33:33.460 when they don't succeed

00:33:34.560 in kicking them off

00:33:35.400 altogether.

00:33:36.280 That's why our Daily Wire members

00:33:38.960 are so important.

00:33:40.280 Your membership helps

00:34:00.220 Head on over,

00:34:00.920 we'll be right back

00:34:01.600 with a lot more.

00:34:14.480 I don't know

00:34:15.060 if you remember this,

00:34:16.940 but a little while ago,

00:34:18.760 Hillary Clinton

00:34:19.500 accused Democratic

00:34:22.500 presidential candidate

00:34:23.440 Tulsi Gabbard

00:34:24.280 of being a Russian asset,

00:34:27.700 of being a Russian stooge. 0.64

00:34:29.120 Here's Hillary Clinton. 1.00

00:34:30.520 I'm not making

00:34:31.780 any predictions,

00:34:33.000 but I think

00:34:33.680 they've got their eye

00:34:34.400 on somebody

00:34:34.820 who's currently

00:34:35.240 in the Democratic primary

00:34:36.780 and are grooming her

00:34:38.540 to be the third-party candidate.

00:34:40.300 She's the favorite

00:34:40.920 of the Russians.

00:34:42.280 They have a bunch

00:34:43.340 of sites and bots

00:34:44.900 and other ways

00:34:46.860 of supporting her so far.

00:34:48.860 They being Vladimir Putin

00:34:51.960 and the Russians.

00:34:53.060 And just in case

00:34:54.400 you were unclear

00:34:55.780 of whether she's really

00:34:56.640 talking about Tulsi Gabbard

00:34:57.700 because Clinton doesn't 0.66

00:34:58.840 refer to her by name,

00:34:59.860 Hillary Clinton's spokesman

00:35:01.300 came on later,

00:35:02.500 was asked specifically,

00:35:03.680 are you talking

00:35:04.180 about Tulsi Gabbard?

00:35:05.240 And he confirmed that

00:35:07.400 in no uncertain terms.

00:35:09.180 He said,

00:35:09.740 if the nesting doll fits.

00:35:11.400 Okay, so now,

00:35:12.600 Tulsi Gabbard

00:35:13.160 not going to take it

00:35:13.840 lying down.

00:35:14.460 She's not going to take it

00:35:15.180 like Jeffrey Epstein did.

00:35:17.620 Reportedly.

00:35:18.280 No, I don't,

00:35:18.840 I'm kidding.

00:35:19.500 Or am I?

00:35:20.000 I don't know.

00:35:21.180 Tulsi Gabbard

00:35:22.040 is suing Hillary Clinton

00:35:23.320 for defamation

00:35:24.060 over her remarks

00:35:26.220 about this,

00:35:27.040 this Russian asset accusation.

00:35:30.720 Tulsi Gabbard's lawyers

00:35:31.940 are saying that

00:35:33.200 Clinton's comments

00:35:33.980 smeared her political 0.82

00:35:35.720 and personal reputation.

00:35:37.820 Quote,

00:35:38.120 Tulsi Gabbard

00:35:38.640 is a loyal American

00:35:39.500 civil servant

00:35:40.160 who has also dedicated

00:35:41.300 her life to protecting

00:35:42.260 the safety of all Americans.

00:35:44.720 Absolutely true.

00:35:45.620 You got to remember,

00:35:46.320 Tulsi Gabbard's put on

00:35:47.180 a uniform.

00:35:47.740 Tulsi Gabbard has served

00:35:48.720 in the U.S. military.

00:35:50.180 The smear from Hillary

00:35:51.100 was totally expected

00:35:53.140 when you look at

00:35:54.280 Clinton's political history.

00:35:55.760 But it was still

00:35:56.340 so, so wrong.

00:35:57.160 I love that she's

00:35:57.820 fighting back.

00:35:58.700 This reminds me

00:35:59.440 of the Nick Sandman

00:36:01.040 Covington Kids

00:36:01.900 lawsuit against the press

00:36:03.460 who baselessly smeared them

00:36:04.980 as racists and bigots

00:36:06.440 for wearing a MAGA hat.

00:36:08.220 I wish Tulsi Gabbard

00:36:09.320 very well.

00:36:10.480 I don't think Tulsi Gabbard

00:36:11.560 should ever be president.

00:36:12.780 I don't think she should

00:36:13.980 get anywhere near

00:36:14.640 the Oval Office.

00:36:15.580 But I really,

00:36:16.380 really like

00:36:16.900 that the infighting

00:36:18.160 among Democrats

00:36:18.780 is now so intense

00:36:20.020 that you've got

00:36:20.960 a presidential candidate

00:36:22.360 suing

00:36:23.620 the former

00:36:25.240 presidential nominee

00:36:26.320 for millions and millions

00:36:27.500 and millions of dollars.

00:36:28.440 That is just too sweet.

00:36:29.460 Before we go,

00:36:30.020 I want to highlight something

00:36:31.220 that President Trump

00:36:33.220 said at Davos.

00:36:34.800 He was at the

00:36:35.100 World Economic Forum.

00:36:36.880 Group of all of these

00:36:37.860 kind of crazy

00:36:38.600 Western elites,

00:36:40.500 businessmen,

00:36:41.600 politicians,

00:36:42.280 they all gather

00:36:42.820 and talk about

00:36:43.340 how wonderful they are

00:36:44.200 and why they should

00:36:45.080 all run our lives.

00:36:46.540 And President Trump

00:36:47.460 was there.

00:36:47.940 He gave a speech

00:36:48.480 about how America's

00:36:49.300 come back

00:36:49.880 and how he got

00:36:51.160 the last laugh here

00:36:52.080 on the World Economic Forum.

00:36:54.300 He also gave a speech

00:36:55.520 about the environment.

00:36:56.940 Environmentalism,

00:36:57.540 climate change,

00:36:58.220 hysteria has become

00:36:59.380 the most famous

00:37:02.080 religious issue

00:37:03.060 of the left.

00:37:03.980 The left speaks of it

00:37:04.980 in religious terms,

00:37:05.880 right?

00:37:06.360 They talk about

00:37:06.960 the end of days,

00:37:07.980 the world is all ending

00:37:08.980 in 12 years

00:37:10.200 or 18 months

00:37:11.500 if you ask

00:37:12.320 some of those politicians

00:37:13.920 and public figures.

00:37:15.580 They talk about

00:37:16.700 how you need to

00:37:17.600 confess your climate sins.

00:37:19.360 I mean,

00:37:19.680 NBC News set up

00:37:20.420 a website

00:37:20.860 that was a confessional

00:37:22.680 for all of your sins

00:37:24.260 against the environment.

00:37:25.520 You can even buy

00:37:26.160 indulgences

00:37:26.880 in the form

00:37:27.320 of carbon tax credit.

00:37:28.720 It has a full

00:37:29.840 religious system

00:37:33.200 to it,

00:37:34.180 this environmentalism.

00:37:35.300 And President Trump

00:37:36.080 totally put the kibosh

00:37:38.000 on it.

00:37:38.540 He exposed it

00:37:39.560 for what it was

00:37:40.200 and he said,

00:37:41.100 we are charting

00:37:41.620 a different course

00:37:42.300 in America.

00:37:42.840 Here is President Trump.

00:37:44.240 But to embrace

00:37:45.240 the possibilities

00:37:46.120 of tomorrow,

00:37:46.960 we must reject

00:37:47.800 the perennial prophets

00:37:49.000 of doom

00:37:49.700 and their predictions

00:37:51.300 of the apocalypse.

00:37:54.480 They are the heirs

00:37:55.800 of yesterday's foolish

00:37:56.880 fortune tellers

00:37:57.840 and I have them

00:37:58.840 and you have them

00:37:59.700 and we all have them

00:38:00.740 and they want to see us

00:38:02.840 do badly

00:38:03.340 but we don't let that happen.

00:38:06.120 They predicted

00:38:06.800 an overpopulation crisis

00:38:08.920 in the 1960s,

00:38:10.440 mass starvation

00:38:11.240 in the 70s

00:38:12.280 and an end of oil

00:38:14.300 in the 1990s.

00:38:16.640 These alarmists

00:38:17.500 always demand

00:38:18.340 the same thing,

00:38:19.260 absolute power

00:38:20.040 to dominate,

00:38:21.080 transform and control

00:38:22.100 every aspect

00:38:22.840 of our lives.

00:38:24.160 We will never let

00:38:25.180 radical socialists

00:38:26.600 destroy our economy,

00:38:28.000 wreck our country

00:38:28.820 or eradicate

00:38:30.660 our liberty.

00:38:32.840 America will always 0.98

00:38:33.700 be the proud,

00:38:34.860 strong and unyielding

00:38:36.840 bastion of freedom.

00:38:38.640 Great, great speech

00:38:40.320 and I encourage you

00:38:40.880 to watch the whole thing.

00:38:42.660 What Trump points out

00:38:44.300 explicitly is that

00:38:45.680 these environmental

00:38:47.100 doomsdayers

00:38:48.360 always get their

00:38:50.160 predictions perfectly wrong.

00:38:52.800 They get their

00:38:54.060 priorities perfectly wrong

00:38:55.660 and we see that today.

00:38:58.000 You know,

00:38:58.760 the New York Times

00:38:59.660 clamoring

00:39:00.560 on a daily basis

00:39:02.040 with hysterical predictions

00:39:04.380 about global warming,

00:39:06.280 how we have to stop

00:39:07.200 using plastic straws

00:39:08.580 or else the world

00:39:09.540 is going to end.

00:39:10.640 Hysterical stuff.

00:39:12.740 And in that very same paper,

00:39:14.720 they'll talk about

00:39:15.400 how we have to kill babies

00:39:16.620 and we should never

00:39:17.280 regret killing babies.

00:39:19.080 They cry,

00:39:20.280 they sob,

00:39:21.040 they weep

00:39:21.680 if you accidentally

00:39:23.000 put too much salt

00:39:24.920 in the water

00:39:25.480 for the Delta smelt

00:39:26.640 in California.

00:39:27.880 They're so furious.

00:39:30.140 They're rending

00:39:31.180 their garments

00:39:31.780 if you use

00:39:32.600 a plastic straw

00:39:33.680 because they're afraid

00:39:35.220 of the sun monster.

00:39:36.180 If you put a little

00:39:36.920 carbon dioxide

00:39:38.280 into the air,

00:39:39.360 if you cut down

00:39:40.520 a tree,

00:39:41.400 they will cry.

00:39:42.140 And they will celebrate

00:39:44.320 when you kill

00:39:45.520 a million babies

00:39:46.860 a year

00:39:47.220 in the United States alone.

00:39:49.520 They care more

00:39:50.340 about the rocks

00:39:51.060 than about human beings.

00:39:53.080 This is perennial

00:39:54.200 with the left.

00:39:55.340 The left always says

00:39:56.280 they love humanity

00:39:57.060 but they don't seem

00:39:57.660 to like individual humans

00:39:59.040 all that very much.

00:40:01.780 They don't seem

00:40:02.460 to have a whole lot

00:40:02.900 of compassion

00:40:03.380 for the individual human

00:40:04.580 whose life is about

00:40:05.320 to be snuffed out

00:40:06.120 in his mother's womb.

00:40:06.920 Those are two

00:40:09.540 completely opposite ways

00:40:11.320 of viewing the world.

00:40:12.600 One version

00:40:13.280 in which

00:40:13.940 we prioritize

00:40:16.640 trees

00:40:17.540 and little fish

00:40:19.160 and rocks

00:40:20.620 over human beings

00:40:22.300 and one

00:40:23.420 in which we say

00:40:24.420 man has inherent dignity

00:40:26.100 and we should respect

00:40:27.800 that dignity

00:40:28.380 and we should take care

00:40:29.620 of our environment

00:40:30.320 in so much

00:40:30.940 as we're stewards

00:40:31.660 of our environment

00:40:32.500 and in so much

00:40:33.220 as that would be pleasing

00:40:34.080 and beneficial

00:40:34.660 to human beings.

00:40:35.900 Do you want

00:40:36.440 a world view

00:40:38.280 focused on the trees

00:40:39.600 and on the rocks

00:40:40.460 or do you want

00:40:41.080 a world view

00:40:41.720 that elevates

00:40:43.480 and respects

00:40:44.060 human beings?

00:40:44.920 That's the choice.

00:40:45.600 You got the left

00:40:46.120 on one hand

00:40:46.640 you got the right

00:40:47.420 on the other

00:40:47.920 and the current

00:40:49.180 right wing leader

00:40:50.160 in the United States

00:40:50.980 President Trump

00:40:51.740 is making that

00:40:52.840 very clear

00:40:53.300 and he's going

00:40:53.580 to make it clear

00:40:54.020 today at the March for Life.

00:40:54.980 Let's get into

00:40:55.320 the mailbag

00:40:55.820 in our remaining time

00:40:56.840 from Jason.

00:40:57.960 Hi Michael.

00:40:58.940 A few months ago

00:40:59.660 I definitely made a mistake

00:41:01.000 especially because

00:41:02.200 I'm Catholic

00:41:02.720 resulting in my

00:41:04.400 girlfriend's pregnancy.

00:41:05.300 Ah, I think I know

00:41:06.880 what mistake

00:41:07.320 you're talking about.

00:41:08.720 She and I are both

00:41:09.280 pro-life

00:41:09.800 and despite being

00:41:10.760 17 and 18

00:41:11.600 I know she won't

00:41:12.640 abort the child. 0.59

00:41:14.220 About two weeks

00:41:14.880 after finding out

00:41:15.700 she left me

00:41:16.560 wants nothing to do

00:41:17.540 with me

00:41:17.920 including refusing

00:41:18.920 to contact me

00:41:19.880 and giving updates

00:41:21.160 about the child.

00:41:22.080 I'm graduated

00:41:22.800 not in college.

00:41:24.020 I'm currently working

00:41:24.760 into a decent

00:41:25.380 financial lifestyle

00:41:26.340 but for all I know

00:41:27.420 my ex could already

00:41:28.660 have an adoption plan

00:41:29.840 set up.

00:41:30.540 I don't know.

00:41:31.580 What advice

00:41:32.120 do you have for me?

00:41:33.020 Thanks.

00:41:33.460 Love the show.

00:41:34.000 Jason.

00:41:35.280 Okay, you're in a tough spot.

00:41:37.900 I'm not going to minimize that.

00:41:39.620 Obviously

00:41:40.060 it's very hard

00:41:43.040 to imagine

00:41:43.520 that there's a perfect

00:41:44.400 solution to all of this.

00:41:46.200 However

00:41:46.640 you should rest easy.

00:41:49.200 You should

00:41:49.640 lie back and relax.

00:41:50.960 You should be so happy

00:41:52.040 that you

00:41:53.440 it does not seem like

00:41:54.520 you're going to make

00:41:54.940 this huge mistake

00:41:55.800 of killing your child 0.63

00:41:56.680 that you will regret

00:41:57.840 for the rest of your life

00:41:58.900 and that your

00:41:59.760 ex-girlfriend

00:42:00.700 will regret

00:42:01.260 for the rest of her life.

00:42:02.600 Now, you've got to

00:42:03.900 own your mistakes.

00:42:05.700 Right?

00:42:06.000 You, along with

00:42:06.820 pretty much every other

00:42:07.640 teenager in America

00:42:08.540 had

00:42:10.060 had some sexual

00:42:12.740 experiences before marriage.

00:42:14.100 Right?

00:42:14.320 That happens

00:42:14.860 all the time.

00:42:15.760 You're not the only one

00:42:16.380 that that's happened to

00:42:17.120 and there are consequences

00:42:18.620 for that.

00:42:19.800 One of the consequences is

00:42:21.080 your girlfriend

00:42:21.960 gets pregnant. 0.92

00:42:22.980 Now, I guess

00:42:23.480 in a perfect world

00:42:24.500 you guys would

00:42:25.460 get married

00:42:26.020 and raise the kid

00:42:26.700 but maybe

00:42:27.980 that's not going to happen.

00:42:28.860 I mean, she's

00:42:29.480 she's got the right

00:42:30.820 not to marry you.

00:42:32.740 She could do that.

00:42:33.820 That's one of the risks

00:42:34.480 you run with

00:42:35.120 sex outside of marriage.

00:42:37.760 Now, if she gives

00:42:38.880 the child away

00:42:39.540 for adoption

00:42:40.200 that's going to take away

00:42:41.740 a lot of your rights.

00:42:42.860 If she decides

00:42:43.680 to raise the child herself 0.66

00:42:44.940 you will very likely

00:42:46.820 have more rights.

00:42:47.940 So you'll have to try

00:42:48.780 to discuss that with her.

00:42:50.440 Now, she might not

00:42:51.220 want to talk to you right now.

00:42:52.260 She might be under 0.80

00:42:52.740 a lot of pressure.

00:42:53.600 I suspect

00:42:54.120 she is.

00:42:55.020 She's 17 years old

00:42:56.060 and she's pregnant. 0.95

00:42:56.820 So I would have

00:42:58.120 some empathy

00:42:58.740 for her there

00:42:59.420 or at least

00:43:00.020 some sympathy rather

00:43:00.820 because she's in

00:43:02.860 an emotionally

00:43:03.960 very difficult spot

00:43:05.080 and already

00:43:05.900 you two

00:43:06.520 have made

00:43:07.320 the single

00:43:08.980 most important choice

00:43:09.780 you can

00:43:10.100 which is not

00:43:10.800 to kill

00:43:11.680 the child.

00:43:13.400 If that is

00:43:14.400 all you get out of this

00:43:15.340 and she gives the child

00:43:16.140 away for adoption

00:43:16.820 or she raises it

00:43:18.020 on her own

00:43:18.420 or she raises it

00:43:19.180 with a stepfather

00:43:20.220 you could still

00:43:21.520 rest easy.

00:43:24.380 What I would recommend

00:43:25.480 is

00:43:26.060 give her a little bit 0.95

00:43:27.860 of time

00:43:28.280 be respectful

00:43:29.140 she's in

00:43:30.040 just as much stress

00:43:30.920 as you are

00:43:31.320 she's in probably

00:43:32.020 a lot more stress

00:43:32.740 than you are

00:43:33.300 and then

00:43:34.260 try to discuss

00:43:35.800 what will happen

00:43:36.460 into the future

00:43:37.200 and you need to be

00:43:38.040 willing to accept

00:43:38.920 the prospect

00:43:39.860 that your child

00:43:40.940 is given away

00:43:41.940 for adoption

00:43:42.520 or

00:43:42.980 if you would prefer

00:43:43.800 to raise the child

00:43:44.440 yourself

00:43:44.800 you have to make

00:43:45.860 that argument

00:43:46.480 to her.

00:43:47.340 You don't have

00:43:47.640 a ton of rights

00:43:48.160 in this situation

00:43:48.960 that's one of the

00:43:49.880 consequences

00:43:50.420 of your actions

00:43:52.400 and you'll

00:43:53.480 have to live with that

00:43:54.720 but I think

00:43:56.340 once the emotion

00:43:57.280 of the situation

00:43:57.900 has died down

00:43:58.600 a little bit

00:43:59.100 you may be able

00:44:00.380 to speak this

00:44:00.980 with her

00:44:01.440 you just have

00:44:01.980 to do it

00:44:02.500 respectfully

00:44:03.300 you have to do it

00:44:04.680 responsibly

00:44:06.400 acknowledging that

00:44:07.640 some of this

00:44:09.200 is your fault

00:44:09.940 some of the

00:44:10.800 problems that

00:44:11.760 you're having

00:44:12.140 here are

00:44:12.680 your fault

00:44:13.600 and you should

00:44:15.240 do it with hope

00:44:15.820 and you should

00:44:16.280 do it at least

00:44:17.560 joyful in the

00:44:18.560 knowledge that

00:44:19.260 your child

00:44:19.840 is not going

00:44:20.300 to be killed

00:44:20.740 from Joshua

00:44:22.240 Michael

00:44:23.720 as a well-dressed

00:44:24.960 fellow yourself

00:44:25.700 what are your

00:44:26.720 thoughts on the

00:44:27.500 three-piece suit

00:44:28.200 is it too much

00:44:29.580 for an attorney

00:44:30.200 thanks for your

00:44:31.160 wisdom

00:44:31.460 I love the

00:44:33.860 three-piece suit

00:44:34.500 but it depends

00:44:35.760 how you wear it

00:44:36.480 you don't want

00:44:37.020 to end up

00:44:37.500 in one of these

00:44:37.960 my cousin

00:44:38.480 Vinny kind of

00:44:39.080 situations

00:44:39.660 you look ridiculous

00:44:41.380 or like you're

00:44:42.040 some dandy

00:44:42.560 from the 19th

00:44:43.340 century

00:44:43.700 but if you

00:44:45.140 if you wear

00:44:45.860 a modest

00:44:46.680 three-piece suit

00:44:47.580 that that

00:44:48.180 isn't

00:44:49.360 you know

00:44:49.860 wouldn't fit in

00:44:50.900 on like

00:44:51.460 Liberace

00:44:52.020 playing in

00:44:52.760 Las Vegas

00:44:53.220 or something

00:44:53.740 then I think

00:44:54.740 it can work

00:44:55.100 very well

00:44:55.560 when you wear

00:44:56.180 the three-piece

00:44:56.700 suit

00:44:56.980 I would recommend

00:44:58.480 do not button

00:44:59.260 the jacket

00:44:59.780 I think that

00:45:00.700 the waistcoat

00:45:01.880 being buttoned

00:45:02.560 and the jacket

00:45:03.000 being open

00:45:03.500 is a much

00:45:03.880 nicer look

00:45:04.440 it's a little

00:45:05.060 more casual

00:45:05.700 it's a little

00:45:06.660 easier to pull

00:45:08.860 off today

00:45:09.280 but I'm a big

00:45:09.760 fan of it

00:45:10.200 absolutely

00:45:10.620 go for it

00:45:11.340 people dress

00:45:12.000 like schlubs 1.00

00:45:12.600 all over this

00:45:13.160 country

00:45:13.480 you could bring

00:45:14.480 a little class

00:45:15.160 from Dylan

00:45:16.060 dear Michael

00:45:16.700 do you believe

00:45:17.980 that the left

00:45:18.600 has become

00:45:19.420 so radical

00:45:20.060 that there

00:45:20.780 are millions

00:45:21.320 of Democrats

00:45:21.900 who will vote

00:45:22.940 for Trump

00:45:23.400 in 2020

00:45:24.060 I always hear

00:45:24.680 vote blue

00:45:25.140 no matter who

00:45:25.880 yet I've seen

00:45:26.800 people in my

00:45:27.400 personal life

00:45:28.000 such as my mom

00:45:28.780 who's a Democrat

00:45:29.440 stating that she

00:45:30.180 will most likely

00:45:30.740 vote for Trump

00:45:31.440 in 2020

00:45:32.380 just because

00:45:33.300 of how the

00:45:34.580 Democrats have

00:45:35.080 acted in the past

00:45:35.720 three to four years

00:45:36.460 do you think

00:45:36.880 she is the exception

00:45:37.680 or the norm

00:45:38.320 thanks for everything

00:45:39.040 I think there are

00:45:40.960 a lot of Democrats

00:45:41.660 who could vote for Trump

00:45:42.580 because Trump

00:45:43.880 is not a normal

00:45:44.500 Republican

00:45:45.000 I mean he's a guy

00:45:45.580 who in the 90s

00:45:46.220 said I'm very very

00:45:46.840 pro-choice

00:45:47.360 because I'm from New York

00:45:48.200 he's a guy

00:45:49.640 who supported

00:45:50.120 Democratic politicians

00:45:51.160 he's a guy

00:45:52.000 who talks

00:45:52.580 differently

00:45:53.240 than other Republicans

00:45:54.480 and he's a guy

00:45:55.180 who on substantive

00:45:56.000 policy matters

00:45:56.880 has behaved

00:45:58.300 in a different way

00:45:59.340 from other Republicans

00:46:00.180 in the way he talks

00:46:01.160 about economics

00:46:01.760 in the way he talks

00:46:02.340 about trade deficits

00:46:03.660 in the way he talks

00:46:04.480 about tariffs

00:46:05.160 the way he talks

00:46:06.620 about foreign policy

00:46:07.420 so certainly

00:46:08.680 they could get

00:46:09.400 Democrats

00:46:10.200 I think

00:46:11.340 part of the reason

00:46:13.040 Democrats

00:46:13.680 and normal

00:46:14.940 left winger

00:46:15.420 maybe that's a

00:46:16.480 contradiction in terms

00:46:17.260 people who are typically

00:46:18.380 left wing

00:46:19.000 could go over

00:46:20.820 to the Republican side

00:46:21.720 this time

00:46:22.120 is in part because of Trump

00:46:23.100 he is a unique candidate

00:46:24.080 but I think in part

00:46:25.480 it's actually beyond

00:46:27.700 these practical

00:46:28.420 political issues

00:46:29.140 and it comes down

00:46:29.820 to things like

00:46:30.540 Democrats won't admit 0.65

00:46:32.520 that there are only

00:46:33.160 two biological sexes

00:46:34.460 Democrats

00:46:35.560 had a whole debate

00:46:37.480 over LGBTQ 0.99

00:46:38.660 issues

00:46:40.400 in which they pretended

00:46:41.720 that men can be women

00:46:42.740 Julian Castro

00:46:44.320 a Democratic presidential

00:46:45.400 candidate

00:46:45.880 endorsed abortion rights 0.76

00:46:47.400 not only for women

00:46:48.260 but for men

00:46:48.980 trans women

00:46:50.980 you know men

00:46:52.620 who now pretend

00:46:53.500 to be women

00:46:53.960 that's probably

00:46:55.680 a little bit too far

00:46:56.620 and I think

00:46:58.500 in particular

00:46:59.160 in some of these states

00:47:00.060 that President Trump

00:47:01.600 needs to win

00:47:02.200 some of the states

00:47:02.720 that are going to decide

00:47:03.340 the election

00:47:03.740 Wisconsin, Michigan,

00:47:04.860 Pennsylvania

00:47:05.220 these are places

00:47:08.140 that are

00:47:09.720 pretty normal

00:47:11.180 you know

00:47:11.520 they're not as radical

00:47:12.580 as Los Angeles

00:47:13.540 or New York City

00:47:15.260 and so

00:47:16.520 those social

00:47:18.920 questions

00:47:19.660 are really going

00:47:20.540 to matter

00:47:21.020 that radicalism

00:47:22.380 is not going to

00:47:22.920 play very well

00:47:23.640 in those places

00:47:24.640 and I think

00:47:25.680 it gives Trump

00:47:26.260 a big advantage

00:47:27.360 and it's going to

00:47:27.800 give him advantage

00:47:28.340 by taking votes

00:47:29.060 from Democrats

00:47:29.920 and centrist voters

00:47:31.240 and independent voters

00:47:32.220 from Margo

00:47:32.980 hey Michael

00:47:33.500 in light of your show

00:47:35.020 theme from earlier

00:47:35.820 this week

00:47:36.300 about wanting royalty

00:47:37.960 without the responsibility

00:47:39.420 I was thinking

00:47:40.860 that idea

00:47:41.400 could also be connected

00:47:42.360 with abortion

00:47:42.960 most of the time

00:47:44.020 abortion goes back

00:47:44.760 to wanting the pleasure

00:47:45.520 of sex

00:47:45.860 without the responsibility

00:47:46.780 of parenthood

00:47:47.440 what are your thoughts

00:47:48.580 and is it possible

00:47:49.440 to convince leftists

00:47:50.980 that taking responsibility

00:47:52.080 is a good thing

00:47:52.960 keep the great shows

00:47:54.300 coming as you get closer

00:47:55.260 to 500 episodes

00:47:56.780 thank you very much Margo

00:47:57.860 yes of course

00:47:58.880 I mean of course

00:47:59.460 people

00:47:59.800 the reason you have sex 0.95

00:48:01.320 outside of marriage

00:48:01.880 is because you

00:48:02.380 because sex is extremely fun

00:48:03.760 and marriage

00:48:04.760 requires accountability

00:48:06.140 and responsibility

00:48:07.000 and duty

00:48:07.920 and obligation

00:48:08.460 and people want to have fun

00:48:09.840 and they don't want to

00:48:10.440 they want to lock

00:48:11.760 themselves down

00:48:12.420 it's perfectly

00:48:13.160 understandable

00:48:13.840 totally get it

00:48:14.900 however

00:48:16.260 people are falling

00:48:19.240 into a very

00:48:20.440 easy temptation

00:48:22.840 which is

00:48:24.280 to believe

00:48:25.460 that duty

00:48:27.000 is unpleasant

00:48:27.860 that obligation

00:48:28.580 is unpleasant

00:48:29.440 that if we were free

00:48:30.900 from our jobs

00:48:32.140 and our obligations

00:48:33.020 and the things

00:48:33.960 we have to do

00:48:34.500 for our loved ones

00:48:35.640 and our families

00:48:36.260 if we could just do

00:48:37.020 whatever the hell

00:48:37.660 we wanted

00:48:38.080 all day long

00:48:38.900 we would be so happy

00:48:40.420 and live such a good life

00:48:41.680 and that is just BS

00:48:43.240 the playwright

00:48:44.980 George Bernard Shaw

00:48:45.840 said that

00:48:47.080 hell is the place 0.80

00:48:48.500 where you've got

00:48:49.000 nothing to do

00:48:49.620 but amuse yourself

00:48:50.520 and that's true

00:48:51.980 when people don't have

00:48:53.280 anything to do

00:48:53.940 when they don't have

00:48:54.300 any obligations

00:48:54.920 when they don't have

00:48:55.340 any demands on them

00:48:56.220 they get depressed

00:48:57.660 you know

00:48:59.660 I waited for a long time

00:49:00.840 to get married

00:49:01.380 considering

00:49:02.980 I met my wife

00:49:04.160 when we were like

00:49:04.680 10 years old

00:49:05.220 I waited until

00:49:07.080 my late 20s

00:49:07.820 to get married

00:49:08.360 because in this culture

00:49:09.880 especially where I come

00:49:10.620 from New York

00:49:11.240 and I live in Los Angeles

00:49:12.120 I was just always told

00:49:13.200 oh don't get married

00:49:14.020 until you're in your 30s

00:49:14.860 try not to get married

00:49:15.900 until you're 40

00:49:16.620 or even later

00:49:17.440 that'll be so much better

00:49:18.880 you just focus only on you

00:49:20.340 and don't tie yourself down

00:49:21.900 and don't have any commitments

00:49:22.820 and your life will be

00:49:23.460 a lot better

00:49:23.880 and I realize

00:49:24.960 that's just completely untrue

00:49:26.040 I wish I'd gotten married

00:49:26.960 earlier

00:49:27.380 because you find meaning

00:49:29.180 in your life

00:49:29.860 precisely through obligation

00:49:31.960 precisely through duty

00:49:33.800 when you just pursue

00:49:35.380 your own desires

00:49:36.400 and appetites all day long

00:49:37.740 that doesn't leave you

00:49:38.840 feeling very satisfied

00:49:40.120 it's actually insatiable

00:49:41.900 you're not going to think

00:49:43.520 gosh I lived a great life

00:49:44.740 I'm glad I did

00:49:45.300 whatever I wanted

00:49:46.000 you actually find meaning

00:49:48.720 in life

00:49:49.240 through obligation

00:49:50.680 and duty

00:49:52.480 and

00:49:53.180 it's always going to be

00:49:55.120 a temptation

00:49:55.600 just to pursue

00:49:56.300 your own selfish desires

00:49:57.460 but if you want to live

00:49:58.540 a good life

00:49:59.100 and be pleased with yourself

00:50:00.260 in the end

00:50:00.760 pleased with how you lived it

00:50:01.820 it's going to be

00:50:03.160 through responsibility

00:50:04.040 and speaking of meaning

00:50:05.940 you know

00:50:06.700 I'm leaving you now

00:50:07.820 for the weekend

00:50:08.380 we'll be back

00:50:09.720 on the Michael Knowles show

00:50:10.580 on Monday

00:50:11.020 but I'm not leaving you

00:50:12.700 completely without any content

00:50:14.060 because we've got

00:50:14.980 the first episode out now

00:50:16.020 of my new show

00:50:16.680 with PragerU

00:50:17.460 it's called The Book Club

00:50:19.020 and the book that we will

00:50:20.240 be examining

00:50:20.820 is Man's Search for Meaning

00:50:22.740 a really important book

00:50:24.480 so go check that out

00:50:25.440 that's by Viktor Frankl

00:50:26.340 and it's going to be

00:50:26.960 Dennis Prager and I

00:50:27.800 discussing that

00:50:28.400 so you can find that

00:50:28.920 at PragerU

00:50:29.480 and then I've got another show

00:50:30.900 that is going to be coming out

00:50:31.740 every single night now

00:50:44.280 and tomorrow

00:50:55.440 Andrew Klavan's

00:50:56.120 narrative podcast

00:50:57.080 that I think

00:50:57.760 is just absolutely

00:50:59.400 terrific stuff

00:51:00.260 and I'm so glad

00:51:01.160 I had the privilege

00:51:01.780 to read it
