00:04:36.260 Okay, let's get right into this.

00:04:37.760 I want to talk a little bit first about Stormy Daniels.

00:04:41.700 Can't go on.

00:04:42.440 Everything I had has gone, Stormy Daniels.

00:04:44.200 Let's address it. 0.99

00:04:45.380 Democrats are peddling some totally unreliable tabloid trash that 12 years ago, a porn star spanked the president with a copy of Forbes magazine. 0.98

00:04:54.520 Let me just state this for the record. 0.98

00:04:58.580 I would much rather have the president who is titillated by Forbes magazine over the one who's aroused by Saul Alinsky any day of the week.

00:05:06.360 Rules for radicals.

00:05:07.840 Give me the former.

00:05:09.040 What is the story here?

00:05:10.120 The mainstream media have been peddling this rumor that Trump had an affair with a porn star in 2006.

00:05:14.780 The porn star in question, Stormy Daniels, denies vehemently that anything took place.

00:05:20.100 She stated on January 10th, quote,

00:05:50.100 You wouldn't be reading about it in the news.

00:05:51.840 You would be reading about it in my book.

00:05:53.560 But the fact of the matter is these stories are not true.

00:05:56.460 It does kind of sound like Trump might have written that.

00:05:58.580 But it's got a Trumpian vibe.

00:06:00.080 But I don't know.

00:06:00.580 His friends might write that way, too.

00:06:02.220 Now, In Touch Weekly is claiming to have a 2011 interview in which Daniels described the affair in lurid detail.

00:06:10.160 What does this mean?

00:06:11.780 For one thing, it means that none of this story is credible.

00:06:15.600 Why is that?

00:06:16.100 Because if the 2011 interview is legitimate, the interviewee is a confirmed liar.

00:06:21.920 If the affair happened, she lied in the letter.

00:06:23.780 If the affair didn't happen, she lied in the interview.

00:06:25.940 Either way, if the interview is legitimate, her word is worthless.

00:06:30.560 Antonin Scalia explained this principle about leaked information at the Supreme Court.

00:06:34.540 Court clerks are prohibited from speaking to the press.

00:06:37.420 They promise not to speak to the press.

00:06:39.180 So when they do leak to the press, if someone does, their word isn't valuable.

00:06:43.340 And so their information is not reliable.

00:06:45.440 It doesn't mean it isn't true, necessarily.

00:06:47.560 It just means it isn't reliable.

00:06:49.160 The source that you're getting the information from is very much in question.

00:06:52.180 So on to the accusation itself.

00:06:54.120 There's nothing new here.

00:06:55.820 We know that Donald Trump has had extramarital affairs in past decades.

00:06:59.320 He's admitted to it.

00:07:00.280 He's even bragged about it.

00:07:01.660 President Trump's personal moral failings were built into the price of voting for him in 2016. 0.67

00:07:06.820 And at the end of that calculation, the American people preferred the loudmouth lech with a patriotic plan to the feckless leftist crook, particularly after Barack Obama spent eight years spanking our collective derriere with rules for radicals that left America less secure, less rich, and less free. 0.82

00:07:24.120 Let's also forget the Clinton comparisons. 0.74

00:07:26.640 Bill Clinton, rather.

00:07:28.120 Trump has not perjured himself about this.

00:07:30.460 He hasn't gotten creative with interns and cigars in the Oval Office.

00:07:33.320 We knew what we were getting when we hired that man, and that's the operative word.

00:07:38.020 I think frequently people make an idol out of the presidency, particularly people who are atheistic or anti-clerical in this culture, which is both.

00:07:45.680 Everybody's got to serve somebody, and so we imbue the presidency with papal magisterium.

00:07:51.260 Let's keep some perspective.

00:07:52.940 Let's keep some important perspective here.

00:07:55.080 We hire the president to do a job.

00:07:58.220 So he has to perform certain tasks.

00:08:00.880 He needs to command the military, make treaties, appoint ambassadors, judges, and other public officials, give to the Congress information on the State of the Union, recommend legislation, and faithfully execute the laws.

00:08:11.260 By all measures, President Trump has so far, rather, performed those duties ably, better than many, if not most, of his predecessors. 0.97

00:08:20.140 And that's why they're digging up this trash.

00:08:22.140 That's why it's coming up now.

00:08:23.480 Democrats, they can't hit Trump on substantive matters, because he's been great on substantive matters, and he's been highly conservative, and he's been highly effective.

00:08:31.500 So they have to abase themselves even further with this pornography.

00:08:34.920 They dig up and report a long-discarded tabloid interview, recanted by the very porn star who gave it. 0.98

00:08:40.520 With the economy soaring, with the world order in recovery, tax reform, deregulation, originalist judicial appointments, desperate Democrats and frivolous Republicans have to make themselves pimps to smack the man who made them look like fools. 0.97

00:08:54.640 Ignore the porn and let the good times roll. 0.96

00:08:57.400 Now, before we get to Joel, because I really want to talk about this movie.

00:09:00.380 It's very entertaining.

00:09:01.180 I also want to mention this story about an apparently explosive document that could undermine the Mueller investigation.

00:09:09.000 Here is Republican Congressman Gates describing it.

00:09:12.960 Well, Liz, the allegations contained in this important intelligence document go to the very foundations of our democracy, and they require an immediate release to the public, in my opinion.

00:09:24.400 Unfortunately, I cannot talk about the specific facts contained within this memo.

00:09:28.320 I can only share my observation that if the American people knew what was happening, if they saw the contents of this memo, a lot would become clear about the information that I've been talking about on television for the last several months.

00:09:41.340 And so I am calling on our leadership to immediately hold a vote on the floor of the House to make public the key contents of this intelligence memo regarding the FBI, the Department of Justice and President Trump.

00:09:53.540 The critical allegations, and I cannot stress how important they are in this memo.

00:09:58.500 The Judiciary Committee would likely find the contents of this memo very interesting, very revealing, and just essential to the way our government interacts with the duly elected president of the United States.

00:10:09.780 This is no small measure.

00:10:11.300 It is just as important as keeping the government open through the weekend, and we need to have a vote on it immediately.

00:10:16.020 Congressman Steve King has said,

00:10:18.020 I have read the memo.

00:10:19.020 The sickening reality has set in.

00:10:21.020 I no longer hold out hope that there is an innocent explanation for the information the public has seen.

00:10:26.020 I have long said it is worse than Watergate.

00:10:28.020 It was hashtag never Trump and hashtag always Hillary.

00:10:31.020 Hashtag release the memo.

00:10:33.020 Ron DeSantis has said,

00:10:35.020 The classified report compiled by House intelligence is deeply troubling and raises serious questions about the upper echelon of the Obama DOJ and Comey FBI as it relates to the so-called collusion investigation.

00:10:47.020 Congressman Scott Perry compared apparent government collusion with Democrats to the KGB.

00:10:53.020 Gates says there are criminal implications.

00:10:55.020 People will go to jail.

00:10:56.020 Even Lindsey Graham has referred the Fusion GPS author Christopher Steele for criminal investigation.

00:11:01.020 That's Lindsey Graham, a rather moderate Republican, no personal fan of Donald Trump.

00:11:06.020 What does this all mean?

00:11:07.020 One theory is that the entire FBI investigation began because of the Democrat-funded Fusion GPS dossier, meaning that the federal government became political enforcers for Democrats to throw an election.

00:11:19.020 I spoke to a high-level source this morning, and he informed me that Barack Obama's ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, may be implicated in all of this.

00:11:29.020 In October, Samantha Power denied that in the final months of the Obama administration, she initiated well over 100 unmaskings to identify Americans whose names turned up in foreign intelligence reporting, specifically members of the Trump campaign.

00:11:44.020 At the time, a spokesman for Power said, quote,

00:11:47.020 The anonymously sourced reports about Ambassador Power's intelligence requests are false.

00:11:52.020 Now, the source I spoke to this morning suggests that that was a lie.

00:11:56.020 The Russia collusion story always seemed like a distraction.

00:11:59.020 Democrat-ranking member of the Judiciary Committee Dianne Feinstein admitted they have no evidence of nefarious dealings, and Van Jones called the story a nothing burger.

00:12:07.020 Now we have to wonder if perhaps the Russia collusion story wasn't merely a distraction from more nefarious dealings on the part of Democrats and the corrupt Chicago machine politician sitting in the Oval Office when it all went down.

00:12:21.020 Okay, on a lighter note, all of this collusion and the government conspiring against Republicans and all, on a lighter note, let's bring on Joel Gilbert.

00:12:29.220 Joel is the filmmaker behind one of the most covfefe movies ever assembled, Donald Trump, The Art of the Insult.

00:12:36.580 I think I even have a copy right here.

00:12:38.200 I'm going to prop it up with my Fleckis Talks covfefe soup can.

00:12:41.180 It is, he's also released the films, oh my gosh, this is a disaster.

00:12:46.680 I blame the FBI and James Comey.

00:12:50.280 So, Joel has also released the films, Paul McCartney Really Is Dead, The Last Testament of George Harrison, Elvis Found Alive, and Dreams from My Real Father, A Story of Reds and Deception.

00:13:01.160 Here is a clip from his latest film. 0.99

00:13:02.620 You've called women you don't like fat pigs, dogs, slobs. 0.99

00:13:13.200 Only Rosie O'Donnell. 0.99

00:13:16.200 And they said that wasn't politically correct.

00:13:18.240 Who cares?

00:13:22.080 You haven't been called.

00:13:24.880 Go back to Univision.

00:13:27.460 I think Jeb is a nice person.

00:13:29.160 He's very low energy.

00:13:30.300 I'm not used to that kind of a person.

00:13:31.560 Throw them out. 0.94

00:13:35.480 Throw them out into the cold.

00:13:36.880 Don't give them their coat.

00:13:38.680 No coats.

00:13:41.040 L-Y-I-N apostrophe.

00:13:44.600 Lion 10.

00:13:49.140 I have never seen a human being eat in such a disgusting fashion. 0.97

00:14:10.780 Who, Pocahontas? 1.00

00:14:12.100 The Indian.

00:14:12.740 Very offensive.

00:14:13.760 I'm sorry about that.

00:14:15.300 Pocahontas? 0.98

00:14:16.640 Crazier than a bed bug. 0.87

00:14:18.040 Pocahontas.

00:14:18.500 Joel, thank you for being here.

00:14:19.540 Thanks for having me today.

00:14:20.120 Appreciate you doing it.

00:14:21.480 I really enjoyed watching the movie.

00:14:23.580 So let's get right into it.

00:14:25.560 My first question.

00:14:26.660 What is the secret of the art of the insult?

00:14:30.020 Donald Trump's secret, of course, I guess it starts with some New York chutzpah that he's willing to stand his ground.

00:14:37.420 And with that, he comes up with branding of his opponents.

00:14:41.220 People forget that Donald Trump was in the entertainment business for 30 years.

00:14:46.200 They think of him as a real estate guy.

00:14:48.000 But he was doing professional wrestling, pro boxing, Miss America, Miss Universe, of course, The Apprentice.

00:14:53.980 He owned a USFL football team.

00:14:55.920 So he had seen and done it all when it came to marketing and hype.

00:14:59.160 And being in New York, he knew how to manipulate the media very easily.

00:15:02.540 So he came up with these brand names for his opponents, and they were so effective because they had a little mix of truth and humor.

00:15:10.320 The first one that most people remember that was so effective was, of course, Low Energy Jeb.

00:15:15.080 It killed him.

00:15:15.720 It totally destroyed Jeb Bush's presidential campaign.

00:15:18.180 Yeah, I mean, $120 million in the bank.

00:15:20.640 And Trump came along with a marketing concept called Low Energy.

00:15:24.300 And he had very little money.

00:15:26.520 He had this massive office in Trump Tower with three guys in it.

00:15:29.420 And he would fly around in the Trump airplane and land at these hangers on this Trump-a-palooza tour.

00:15:35.580 And you'd have 20,000 people waiting five, six, seven times a day.

00:15:39.160 And he'd go into this hilarious performance art where he'd mimic and imitate the people that he was branding.

00:15:45.020 And it was so entertaining and so much fun.

00:15:47.460 He was able to use this performance art in combination with the branding to just destroy his opponents.

00:15:54.480 And the media just fell right into it.

00:15:57.160 And one of the funniest things I would always, you could just tell that the protesters would come to protest.

00:16:02.700 They'd say, we're going to stop Donald Trump.

00:16:04.020 We're going to embarrass him.

00:16:05.160 And, you know, we're going to make him look bad.

00:16:08.080 And as soon as they would start protesting, he would suddenly smile.

00:16:12.220 He'd say, look, look at the protesters.

00:16:14.280 And they didn't realize that they were the ones that were drawing all the media to Trump's events.

00:16:19.500 So he got $2 billion in free-earned media just by manipulating everybody.

00:16:25.320 It was masterful.

00:16:26.280 Well, his entire campaign, it seemed to me, was some insults, some fairly clear policy proposals, and cheap hats.

00:16:33.180 And that was it.

00:16:33.800 And he got $2 billion of free media out of it.

00:16:36.560 What was it about his insults that was so sticky?

00:16:39.760 Because they didn't all stick.

00:16:40.860 He tried out a few on Hillary.

00:16:42.320 He tried out low-stamina Hillary. 1.00

00:16:44.060 That didn't really stick. 0.75

00:16:45.820 But crooked Hillary was perfect. 1.00

00:16:48.040 Low-energy Jeb was perfect.

00:16:50.120 What was it about that wording that made it so highly effective?

00:16:55.360 Well, some of them were not as effective, like calling out Carly Fiorina for her face.

00:17:00.620 That was kind of off-limits for a woman to talk about her looks. 1.00

00:17:04.120 Pocahontas worked on Elizabeth Warren because it was something that had been around for a few years.

00:17:09.000 Lion Ted Cruz, it really required a lot of explanation.

00:17:12.140 It was particularly hurtful, and it was very skillful because Cruz's number one asset was he was considered to be very honest, constitutional Republican, and somebody who stood for principle.

00:17:23.980 So he was really going after his strength.

00:17:25.860 That was the brilliance of that one.

00:17:27.580 And it kind of unnerved Cruz.

00:17:29.240 He kind of fell apart.

00:17:30.840 And I felt that one was very aesthetic because I like Ted Cruz a lot.

00:17:34.200 I don't think he's a liar.

00:17:35.240 I thought he was a fairly serious and straightforward candidate. 0.98

00:17:39.480 But he looks like a liar. 0.98

00:17:40.780 He just has a look about him. 0.99

00:17:43.040 He even has talked about this.

00:17:44.800 And so it almost seemed to me that Donald Trump was playing on what you saw in front of your face rather even than what Cruz was doing in the campaigns or in his Senate career.

00:17:54.340 Well, let me take comments about Cruz.

00:17:56.200 Look, Ted, I spent a lot of time with Republican base voters over the past five, six years with my film I'm Known for Dreams of My Real Father, There's No Place Like Utopia.

00:18:03.680 And it was clear that the Republican base had moved far to the right of the establishment.

00:18:09.260 And Cruz played a big part in that.

00:18:10.960 He went around, of course, he was widely admired, first guy to stand up to Obama on the Obamacare, red, green, eggs, and ham on the Senate floor.

00:18:18.580 He was the anti-establishment hero.

00:18:20.280 And I actually advised Cruz, I worked with a campaign, and I told Ted and the campaign, I said, look, Ted just needs to be Ted Cruz, the rebel, the outsider.

00:18:29.120 Mr. Cruz goes to Washington.

00:18:30.740 I told him it was his to lose.

00:18:32.460 But they went for more of an establishment campaign, chairman in every state, every county, no strong marketing message.

00:18:40.360 He tried to move to the middle.

00:18:41.920 He kind of wanted to be Jeb Bush.

00:18:43.460 So Donald Trump came along and said, OK, if you don't want to be Ted Cruz, I'll be Ted Cruz.

00:18:48.200 So you can argue the drain the swamp candidate was Ted Cruz originally, but he dropped it off.

00:18:53.600 And Trump came and Ted won the election, but it was in the person of Donald Trump.

00:18:57.900 And on that, Trump was so unconciliatory.

00:19:02.440 There was no moment.

00:19:03.580 I loved that moment when he said something about anchor babies.

00:19:07.220 And the journalist interviewing him said, don't you know that's offensive?

00:19:09.700 He said, well, I know it's not politically correct, but what would you prefer?

00:19:13.560 And the guy says, you know, I don't know, future American, undocumented, whatever.

00:19:19.660 Trump looks at him.

00:19:20.360 He goes, yeah, I'm going to stick with anchor baby.

00:19:22.700 What is it about that cutting through the politically correct, pristine images we see from politicians, totally constructed in a laboratory?

00:19:33.860 Trump cut through that like butter.

00:19:35.320 Is it something about our moment that we're in right now that made that work?

00:19:39.680 Or could a candidate have done it 10 years ago?

00:19:42.000 It would work just as well.

00:19:43.460 I think it would have worked as well.

00:19:44.960 The American public had been had, abused by Barack Obama for eight years.

00:19:49.720 Don't forget he ran as a mainstream candidate.

00:19:51.560 I'm going to cut the deficit in half.

00:19:52.840 I'm going to obey the Constitution.

00:19:54.360 Marriage is between a man and a woman and God. 0.94

00:19:56.380 He made it clear that he's mainstream.

00:19:58.520 He never intended to do any of that.

00:20:00.080 It was an intentional lie.

00:20:01.460 And think of how evil a plan that is to come up with a fake agenda to try to get elected.

00:20:07.720 And that Obama is really the story of how American socialism changed from the late 60s.

00:20:12.780 It was calls for open revolution.

00:20:15.060 Let's destroy the Constitution. 1.00

00:20:16.940 Let's put 50 million Americans in camps and murder half of them. 0.98

00:20:20.720 And that's what the Weather Underground and Bill Ayers were pushing. 0.71

00:20:23.820 They went to jail because it was so evil.

00:20:25.800 They went into the underground.

00:20:26.380 You're talking about Barack Obama's buddy, Bill Ayers.

00:20:28.060 Correct.

00:20:28.380 So the way American socialism evolved was these guys came out of jail and out of prison in the early 80s,

00:20:34.940 went back to Chicago into these educational institutions.

00:20:38.160 And the old radicals taught the new group of young radicals like Barack Obama.

00:20:41.720 They said, look, you cannot overthrow the government from the outside.

00:20:45.060 It won't work.

00:20:46.080 So keep your socialism to yourself.

00:20:48.420 Keep your Marxism inside.

00:20:49.820 And just tell people you want to help families.

00:20:51.600 You want to give them free health care.

00:20:53.620 And once you take power, you'll throw them under the bus and pursue the radical agenda that nobody voted for.

00:20:59.340 We saw this in Obama.

00:21:00.740 Obama said, my health care plan is going to lower costs for everybody.

00:21:05.960 Not a tax.

00:21:06.580 It's not a tax and no one's costs are going to go up.

00:21:08.920 And then when obviously costs rose precipitously, he said, well, you didn't think you were going to get all that good stuff for free, did you?

00:21:15.840 He said, yes, we did.

00:21:16.700 You told us that we would.

00:21:17.860 So there was a collective rage in the public that we've been had.

00:21:21.100 We've been abused.

00:21:21.860 We've been lied to.

00:21:22.700 Barack Obama interfered in the 2012 election with the IRS.

00:21:26.420 The conservatives were suppressed from organizing while the left could organize.

00:21:32.340 And then, you know, we didn't need any Russian interference in 2012.

00:21:35.180 We had our own Bolshevik in the White House using the tools of state to maintain power. 0.75

00:21:39.880 And now we're seeing he did it again with the DOJ and FBI.

00:21:43.120 And he promised us in 2012, right, he said to Medvedev, he said, I'm going to have more flexibility after my election.

00:21:50.420 As if to say, I am going to lie to the American public about my plans, but then I'll be nicer to you when I'm in office.

00:21:56.720 And the classic response was, duh, I will transmit this information to Vladimir.

00:22:01.500 Yeah, it was like an old spy movie, almost Cold War, you know, unbelievable.

00:22:05.500 You almost think that maybe the Russians had something on Obama.

00:22:08.860 But Donald Trump picked up on that wave, and he was part of that.

00:22:11.880 And that's why middle America fell in love with this Manhattan billionaire.

00:22:16.060 And I think in the movie, Trump, the Art of the Insult, it takes you through this rollicking ride.

00:22:20.160 You just can't stop laughing and kind of cheering.

00:22:22.800 And I thought I understood Trump.

00:22:24.520 I read books about him.

00:22:25.740 I talked to people who knew him for 30 years.

00:22:27.720 I thought I knew Trump.

00:22:29.100 Only when I put the movie together where you see all of this back to back, you see him reacting from and how authentic he is.

00:22:35.680 And that's why he said what he said and he meant what he said.

00:22:38.080 And even if it was a little odd or off the wall sometimes, you still wanted to vote for him.

00:22:44.600 Whereas when Hillary spoke, you really couldn't figure out what she was saying.

00:22:47.960 And if you did, you didn't believe her.

00:22:49.260 And, yeah, you had to parse what she really meant.

00:22:52.400 She said this and, well, I know that in Clintonese, this really means that and this really means that.

00:22:58.380 And you had to try to parse it.

00:22:59.480 With Trump, you didn't really have to.

00:23:01.200 And that's one thing I really like about the movie is that it provides this great collection of just all of these hilarious Trump moments,

00:23:09.240 very effective Trump moments.

00:23:10.460 Critics of President Covfefe say that he is debasing the moral and political discourse of the United States

00:23:17.740 because he has these zingers and he's a brash billionaire from Queens.

00:23:21.600 Do you think there's a moral hazard to this loose talk from the president, this straight talk from the president,

00:23:27.120 or let the good times roll, we're getting great government out of it, stop your pearl clutching?

00:23:32.640 You got to, look, all Trump is doing is standing up for himself.

00:23:36.460 He's standing his ground, he's standing his turf.

00:23:38.240 If people violate the rules, like Dianne Feinstein, you know, she's sneaky Dianne Feinstein, so he's branding her.

00:23:45.500 He's continuing to do what he does best, which is to call out his opponents and defend himself.

00:23:51.780 Don't forget that, what did Barack Obama do?

00:23:54.180 He abused the electorate every single day, called Americans racist on every occasion that he could.

00:24:00.120 He used the government to do all kinds of nefarious things, telling people there's an evil boogeyman that has your money.

00:24:09.960 The top 1% is taking all your money.

00:24:11.820 Give me the power.

00:24:12.720 Raise tax.

00:24:13.400 So what Trump has done in comparison to Obama's transgressions is nothing.

00:24:18.860 He's standing his ground, and I think if he continues to do that and, you know, stays the authentic Queens street fighter that people voted for,

00:24:28.440 that he wanted a fighter, it didn't matter.

00:24:29.980 When he told Jorge Ramos, you know, go back to Univision, right there you could say the election was over.

00:24:36.440 It was early on because people wanted a fighter, and it wasn't about Jorge Ramos.

00:24:41.700 It was about this guy will stand up to Hillary.

00:24:44.020 We see the strength here, and we want to see the next episode of the show, and so my last question, can he win in 2020, and how will he do it?

00:24:52.760 Look, he's up against a Democrat party that is an anti-democracy party.

00:24:59.600 They're now a radical socialist party.

00:25:01.280 As soon as Trump was elected, 2 million anti-democracy protesters took to the streets.

00:25:06.140 The Democrat leaders called for resistance.

00:25:08.540 Now, resistance is a military term.

00:25:10.860 The anti-Nazi partisans use resistance.

00:25:13.960 Hamas terrorists, they're in resistance.

00:25:16.980 Now, in a democracy, it's called opposition, not resistance, like an opposing opinion.

00:25:22.840 But they're always shocked to find out that anyone holds a different opinion than they do.

00:25:26.140 They're very tolerant until someone has a different opinion.

00:25:28.680 Exactly, but they use this violent rhetoric, and that's why we saw that guy, James Hutchinson,

00:25:33.460 the leftist activists, tried to murder the top Republican leaders and gravely injured Steve Scalise.

00:25:41.920 So Trump has the entire media complex against him, the Democrat party willing to shut down the government,

00:25:48.240 willing to do anything to stop him.

00:25:49.640 Because if he's successful, it reveals how bankrupt their policies are, their economics, and their leftist agenda

00:25:57.500 to divide the country and pit people against each other.

00:26:00.480 So he's up against a very formidable array of very entrenched enemies.

00:26:07.360 I think he can prevail because the American people understand him and they're on his side.

00:26:11.260 And if he continues to just be himself and stand his ground, I think the Republicans will be very successful in 2018.

00:26:18.720 Despite the constant negative press, covfefe.

00:26:20.820 Where can people get the movie, Trump the Order of the Insult?

00:26:23.380 Well, if they're in the L.A. area, they can see the world premiere screening in Encino on Tuesday night, next week, the 23rd.

00:26:29.520 It is available, Amazon.com, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, everywhere you find digital downloads or DVDs.

00:26:36.120 This coming Tuesday, the 23rd, you can buy the DVD or stream it online.

00:26:39.900 Check it out. You're going to enjoy it.

00:26:40.980 Joel, thank you for being here.

00:26:41.880 Thanks so much.

00:26:42.460 All right. We've got to close off.

00:26:44.160 I've got a little bit to say about the March for Life, you know, that thing that the mainstream media refused to cover,

00:26:48.380 the largest, longest continual protest in the history of America.

00:26:51.700 But before we do that, I have to say goodbye to you.

00:26:53.780 I'm sorry.

00:26:54.540 If you're on thedailywire.com, we appreciate it.

00:26:57.620 You help us keep the covfefe in our cup and the lights on.

00:27:01.540 If you are on Facebook and YouTube, I've got to say goodbye, guys.

00:27:05.540 Go to Daily Wire right now.

00:27:06.720 What do you get?

00:27:07.100 You get me.

00:27:08.000 You get the Andrew Klavan Show.

00:27:08.860 You get the Ben Shapiro Show.

00:27:09.720 You get to ask questions in the conversation.

00:27:11.800 Next episode is going to be little old me.

00:27:13.640 You get no ads on the website.

00:27:15.160 Forget all of that.

00:27:16.620 Once Trump, the art of the insult debuts next Tuesday in Encino, there's going to be a flood.

00:27:21.080 We had a lot of fires and L.A. has been dry for decades.

00:27:24.800 It is going to flood.

00:27:25.700 And you're going to need this.

00:27:27.240 This is the Leftist Tears Tumblr.

00:27:29.000 It is going away.

00:27:29.880 You do not know the day or the hour, but make sure you get your copy of it before it is gone.

00:27:35.220 Otherwise, you and your family could drown.

00:27:37.980 We will be right back.

00:27:39.480 Go over to dailywire.com.

00:27:40.960 The March for Life.

00:27:53.040 Tens of thousands of people right now are marching on Washington, D.C. for the 45th annual March for Life.

00:27:58.760 Never heard of it?

00:27:59.600 You're not alone.

00:28:00.560 Even many conservatives don't really know anything about it because the mainstream media generally black the event out.

00:28:07.120 Which is really incredible, by the way, as the March for Life is the longest continual protest in American history.

00:28:12.420 They've been marching ever since the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade that made up a constitutional right to abortion.

00:28:18.480 You know, you know, that thing where the framers were so concerned about abortion.

00:28:21.720 Give me abortion or give me death. 0.99

00:28:23.960 I forget exactly which article that right to abortion is in.

00:28:26.860 But if you read the Constitution very, very closely, and then you invent that right out of whole cloth, you should find it.

00:28:33.900 Pro-life supporters have come in from all over the country, and their efforts have not been in vain.

00:28:38.160 Five years ago, in 2013, the number of annual abortions fell below one million for the first time in 40 years.

00:28:44.600 And that number has slowly continued to drop.

00:28:47.080 Of course, that means there are still roughly one million babies killed in the womb each year,

00:28:50.920 with maniacal ghouls like Cecile Richards at Planned Parenthood snuffing out a third of them.

00:28:56.100 Planned Parenthood alone has killed more than 7 million babies in the womb since Roe v. Wade.

00:29:01.860 And as the Center for Medical Progress expose showed us, Planned Parenthood has profited marvelously

00:29:07.460 by selling babies' body parts on the black market to the highest bidder.

00:29:11.680 Since Roe v. Wade, well over 60 million abortions have occurred in the United States.

00:29:15.800 To put that in perspective, that's the total population of South Carolina, Louisiana, Kentucky, Oregon,

00:29:22.160 Oklahoma, Connecticut, Iowa, Mississippi, Arkansas, Utah, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, Nebraska, West Virginia,

00:29:29.280 Idaho, Hawaii, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota,

00:29:36.220 Washington, D.C., Vermont, and Wyoming combined.

00:29:39.660 Today, as many people identify as pro-life as pro-choice, up tremendously over the past four decades,

00:29:47.840 despite the constant slew of pro-abortion propaganda from the mainstream media and Hollywood.

00:29:53.120 Cynical politicians scaremonger, they say that without abortion, before Roe v. Wade,

00:29:57.760 without Roe v. Wade, thousands of women would die each year from back-alley abortions, from coat-hanger abortions. 1.00

00:30:04.540 The former head of the National Abortion Rights Action League, Bernard Nathanson,

00:30:10.220 has since admitted that he and his pro-abortion conspirators completely invented that number.

00:30:15.140 It was totally made up. It's a total lie.

00:30:17.800 In reality, by 1972, the year before Roe v. Wade, when abortion was still illegal in the majority of the country,

00:30:25.720 the actual number of women who died from illegal abortions was 39. 0.99

00:30:29.760 Not 39,000. Not 3,900. 39.

00:30:35.960 The Wilder statistic is that that same year, 24 women died from legal abortions,

00:30:41.680 despite legal abortion only existing in a small percentage of states.

00:30:46.040 The mass slaughter has taken a disproportionate toll on racial minorities.

00:30:49.660 In New York City, more black babies are aborted than born. 0.53

00:30:52.620 This is no coincidence. 0.97

00:30:54.360 Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood,

00:30:57.420 was a committed eugenicist who explained,

00:30:59.700 quote,

00:30:59.960 To understand the difficulties and the obstacles to be overcome

00:31:03.800 before the dream of a greater race in America can be attained 1.00

00:31:07.760 is to understand something of the task before the women who shall give birth to that race.

00:31:12.560 Among our more than 100 million population are Negroes, Indians, Chinese,

00:31:18.160 and other colored people to the number of 11 million.

00:31:20.960 There are also 14,500,000 persons of foreign birth.

00:31:24.460 There were 1,600,000 illiterate foreigners in the United States when the 1910 census was taken.

00:31:31.360 Do these elements give promise of a better race?

00:31:34.560 Are we doing anything genuinely constructive to overcome this situation?

00:31:40.000 That's from her book, Woman and the New Race.

00:31:42.000 And they did get very constructive, reaching the climax during Roe v. Wade.

00:31:47.300 Future generations will look on our tolerance of abortion with the same horror and moral opprobrium

00:31:52.640 with which we view slaveholders in the antebellum South.

00:31:55.960 Which side will that history record you as having taken?

00:31:59.800 Good luck to everybody in the March on Life doing great work.

00:32:02.440 And it's really great that our president, President Trump,

00:32:05.840 has for the first time as a sitting president,

00:32:08.500 a sitting president has addressed that March of Life in D.C.

00:32:11.620 Really good stuff.

00:32:14.200 Thank you very much for being here.

00:32:15.440 I'm glad this is nice to do a Friday show today.

00:32:17.280 I usually don't do that.

00:32:18.600 We'll be back on Monday.
