1
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: Lie from Vaal Heartland and the crossroads of America. It's

2
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: Tony Katz. Today. Seems that every year the March for

3
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: Life takes place, and the media goes the extra mile

4
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: in not covering it. A million people show up to

5
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: say we have no interest in being a nation so

6
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: willing nilly about abortion. However, they say in a much

7
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: stronger way they don't want abortion at all. But a

8
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 1: million people show up and our media acts like it's

9
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: not a story. I am a pro life guid I

10
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: do not pretend that there aren't situations of nuance and

11
00:00:55,400 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: there aren't hard decisions that get made. I argue that

12
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: a society that looks at abortion as eh, whatever, is

13
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: a bad society. I look at the comments of the

14
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: former governor of Virginia, Ralph Northam, who absolutely supported in fanticide,

15
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: and say that is everything we should not be. The

16
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: stories of Kermic Gosnell and others needed to be told.

17
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: The people who sing their abortion you remember those people,

18
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: disgusting and despicable and reprehensible. I favored the overturning of

19
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: Roe v. Wade. I am not in favor of going

20
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 1: any further than the states deciding for themselves. Some may

21
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: want federal legislation to put an end to abortion. I'm

22
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: gonna let others fight that fight. The overturning of Roe

23
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: for a state's rights issue was imperible, and the Dobbs

24
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: decision leading to the overturning of Row is proper. If

25
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: I didn't say, hello, I'm Tony Katz and the show

26
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: is Tony Cats today, I forget. Sometimes even the late

27
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: Ruth Bader Ginsburg admitted quite clearly that Row overstepped. It

28
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: was an overreach. And this is me now talking creating

29
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: the idea of a privacy right where it does not

30
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: exist is something else. She admitted that this was overreach,

31
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: it was going too far, and that pro life side

32
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: has some tactics that I don't like, some signage I

33
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: really don't like. And all they did was, day after day,

34
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 1: week after week, month after month, and year after year,

35
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: they stayed at it, and they looked at everyone who

36
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: said what about this, and what about that, and what

37
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 1: about the other, and they agreed, those things are horrible,

38
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: But the baby did nothing wrong. Let's bring the baby

39
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: into the world, let's not kill it. And it got

40
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: to the point where the other side wouldn't even agree

41
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: that what we're talking about as a baby wouldn't agree

42
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: that we were talking about is a life. What would

43
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: they say? They would say a clump of cells making

44
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: themselves look inhuman and obscene, making themselves look like people

45
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: who you would never ever want to be around, that

46
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: you would never want to be a part of. The

47
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: science started working against the left. More and more. You

48
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: can see the life getting created, and you could see

49
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:11,839
Speaker 1: reactions to life. You could see a smile. But when

50
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: you have taught an entire generation to generations that abortion

51
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: is religion and religion is terrible, well, one should not

52
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: be surprised to seeing the anger at the overturning of

53
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: Roe via the Dobbs decision, and of course the after

54
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: method had in the election. And yet the pro life people,

55
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: like those who show up in the Marks for Life,

56
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: continue down the road every hour, every day, every week,

57
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: every month, every year. They're maintaining we should protect life.

58
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: Life matters, even though I don't agree with everything, even

59
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: though I didn't agree with every tactic, even if I

60
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: didn't ask a question here and the state's right there, man,

61
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: I respect it. I do. Yeah there there, they hear you,

62
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: and they say yeah, but we believe this. It's impressive.

63
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: The Vice president, his name is jd. Vance. You've seen

64
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: pictures he attended this rally today. He's waving, he's cheering,

65
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: he's got a crowd, and it's freezing. By the way,

66
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: it is super super super cold.

67
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 2: Good morning, marchers. How we doing. It's great to be

68
00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 2: with you again.

69
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 3: It was vie very first speech as Vice President of

70
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 3: the United States was the March for Life last year,

71
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 3: and I'm proud to be back with much better weather

72
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 3: this time around.

73
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 2: Now, some of you may remember that in my remarks.

74
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 3: Last year, I told you all that one of the

75
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 3: things I most wanted in the United States of America

76
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 3: was more families and more babies. So let the record

77
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 3: show you have a vice president who practices what he preaches.

78
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: It's a funny line if you didn't know. Ushavan's the

79
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: second lady, the Vice President's wife, is pregnant with their

80
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: fourth child. So which is gonna bring us to a

81
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: whole thing about babies, which I'll get into in a

82
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: little bit.

83
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 2: Christi and I.

84
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 3: Announced this week that we're expecting our fourth and it

85
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 3: will be our third baby. Boys, So we'll take whatever

86
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 3: prayers you can give. We certainly need them. And when

87
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 3: I was here last year, I had one other piece

88
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 3: of advice for this group, and that was very simple,

89
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 3: to be joyful in your advocacy. And looking out at

90
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 3: this crowd today, it seems like you took that suggestion

91
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 3: very well to heart, because I see joyful people. I

92
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 3: see grandma's, I see parents, I see beautiful little kids

93
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 3: with incredible green hats. I now, did you all dress

94
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 3: like that so that if you lost.

95
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: Yourselves you could find everybody? Okay, that's good plan. I'm

96
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: gonna take that. I'm gonna take that advice back home.

97
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 3: The theme of this year's March for Life, as most

98
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 3: of you all know, is that life is a gift,

99
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 3: and I know for me personally this year, there is

100
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 3: own much to be thankful for. I'm grateful to my

101
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 3: own family from my beautiful wife Usha, and that God

102
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 3: has given us the miracle of new life again.

103
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 2: I'm greatful. I'm grateful for this.

104
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 3: Movement, for the truth that is on our side, and frankly,

105
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 3: I'm thankful for the technological breakthroughs that have allowed us

106
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 3: to affirm and protect life. Things like three D ultra

107
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 3: sounds that didn't exist just a few short decades ago,

108
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 3: things like the new medical technologies that have saved the

109
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 3: lives of countless premature babies. But let me today say

110
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 3: that I am especially grateful for all of you, even

111
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 3: the ones with Michigan hats, and there are a couple

112
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 3: of you out there.

113
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 2: For the thousands of men and women and.

114
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 3: Chill, for the church groups, the school groups, the grandparents

115
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 3: and the toddlers and everyone in between who braved this Chile, Washington, afternoon,

116
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 3: all of us, all of us in the Trump administration,

117
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 3: from the President on down, we thank you for your prayers,

118
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 3: we thank you for your perseverance, and we thank you

119
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 3: then for today we are.

120
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 2: All marching for life. I know a lot of us.

121
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 3: Heard from the President just before this, so you know

122
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 3: that he loves and cares deeply about this movement. And

123
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 3: it's why he has fought for the pro life cause

124
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 3: and why we do it in this administration. And it's

125
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 3: why three years ago we cannot forget he delivered and

126
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 3: his Supreme Court justices delivered the most important Supreme Court

127
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 3: decision of my lifetime. Because with the Dobbs decision, what

128
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 3: we did, what the president, it did, what the Supreme

129
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 3: Court did, was put a definitive end to the tyranny

130
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 3: of judicial rule on the question of human life.

131
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 2: He shattered a fifty year culture.

132
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 3: Of disposability, one that treated human life it's expendable the

133
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: moment that it became inconvenient, and he empowered our nation

134
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 3: and our movement to build a culture of life from

135
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 3: the grassroots up.

136
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: That is going to infuriate a lot of people on

137
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: the political left. I mean, make them very, very angry.

138
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: It is certainly a divide in America that is not

139
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: going to go anytime soon. I do not expect somehow,

140
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: in some magical way and all of a sudden people

141
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, we're done talking about abortion. We're done,

142
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: you know, thinking that this is something that divides us.

143
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: We're fine, We're good. Now. This is going to remain

144
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: in large measure. The question, of course, is what is

145
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: the actual desire here. If one were to argue that

146
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:21,239
Speaker 1: the desire is there might be something that requires terminating

147
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 1: a life, that would be scientific, that would be emotional

148
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: in a way that is comprehendible because we're weighing these

149
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: weighty things, that is not how the left has gone

150
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: about it. The left has gone about it by saying

151
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: that it is nothing, that it is nonchalantness, and they

152
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: have gone from what is it safe and and and

153
00:11:54,480 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: accessible to just an afterthought. He doesn't need a pill

154
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: to remove that thing. You should be able to go in.

155
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: It should be free and the government should pay for it.

156
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: Should be so easy without any regard to culturally what

157
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: it is that we're saying about a society. If there

158
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: was just a rationality and a recognition, and even with

159
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: the recognition, decisions got made that maybe you and I

160
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: would disagree with, it would be a lot more palatable

161
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: than what it is we see, which is a total

162
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: dismissiveness of these people who gathered a million strong. These

163
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: people get dismissed as kooks and as zealots, as radical

164
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: Christians wanting people to say alive, protecting life is radical,

165
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: well compared to ISAs sure compared to rational people, not

166
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: so much. JD. Vance wasn't the only speaker. The Speaker

167
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: of the House, Mike Johnson was there.

168
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: Wow, thanks so much.

169
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 4: What a great crowd and right on the verge of

170
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 4: a polar vortex. Your commitment is greatly appreciated. I want

171
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 4: to congratulate my friend JD for the big announcement on

172
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 4: the baby that's due in July. Yeah, I told him backstage.

173
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 4: My wife Kelly's with me, Kelly Rejihan, my wife, Kelly.

174
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 4: We have four children as well. We all celebrate life

175
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 4: and word and indeed, and we're so glad that you

176
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 4: were here to prove that this is an important weekend.

177
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 2: It always is because.

178
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 4: We welcome the opportunity to recommit ourselves to this cause

179
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 4: of life and to remember why it is we gather

180
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 4: in March in the cold weather. It's important for us

181
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 4: to stand together, and my friends, it's especially important this

182
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 4: year because, as you know, this is the year we

183
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 4: celebrate our nation's two hundred and fifty at birthday, the

184
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 4: greatest nation in the history of the world.

185
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 3: The thing that we.

186
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 4: Celebrate about America, there's so much, so much for which

187
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 4: we are blessed and we're thankful for. But the thing

188
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 4: that we remember, especially at this time, is the foundational

189
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 4: truth of America, the bold statement of faith that said,

190
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 4: this experiment in self governance, this independent country along its way,

191
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 4: we celebrate the self evident truth that all people, every

192
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 4: single person, is made by God. We are made by

193
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 4: our Creator.

194
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: Yes, I only hope that the political left understands these people.

195
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: They're never going to stop. They're never ever going to stop.

196
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: You can't intimidate them, you can't scare them. You can't.

197
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: You can't. You can threaten, and you can fight, and

198
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: you can attack, you can kill. They're coming back tomorrow.

199
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: These are true believers. And I admit that's a phrase

200
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: that isn't necessarily one that drives with me all the time,

201
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: but they are. And the left has to accept the

202
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: fact that the overturning of Roe was fifty years of

203
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: these people saying the hell you will. Well, they probably said,

204
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: the heck you will, but you get my gift. And

205
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: every minute, every hour, and every day and every month,

206
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: in every year, there they were. And it has been

207
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: how many years since the overturning of Row, and they're

208
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: still there in the cold. They're not going anywhere. And

209
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: maybe there's something very important to learn from this movement

210
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: about how one organizes, how one finds vision and shares it.

211
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: Because we should be a society of life, we should

212
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: be a society of liberty. Now, we just got to

213
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: organize people to push back against the mark system. We'll

214
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: be quite all right. I'm Tony Katz and this is

215
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: Tony Katz today
