Speaker 2: Wilson Institute, which is doing fantastic work and a Professor Arcis,

12
00:00:56,457 --> 00:01:00,057
Speaker 2: as I'm fond of telling my audience any lapses in

13
00:01:00,097 --> 00:01:03,977
Speaker 2: my political judgment or understanding could be squarely placed at

14
00:01:04,297 --> 00:01:05,257

15
00:01:05,857 --> 00:01:09,297
Speaker 3: This is absolutely But look, I just rad you're the

16
00:01:09,297 --> 00:01:13,737
Speaker 3: most favorite, my favorite favorite student of one of my

17
00:01:13,817 --> 00:01:18,537
Speaker 3: most favorite count places high school.

18
00:01:18,577 --> 00:01:19,617
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you.

19
00:01:19,657 --> 00:01:21,777
Speaker 2: Regis is a great as a great institution, and we're

20
00:01:21,777 --> 00:01:23,377
Speaker 2: still trying to fight that place.

21
00:01:23,217 --> 00:01:27,857
Speaker 3: From Yeah, but you are one of the two most

22
00:01:27,857 --> 00:01:30,377
Speaker 3: celebrated figures from Regis.

23
00:01:30,577 --> 00:01:32,617
Speaker 2: I know Fauci is the other one. Don't think you're

24
00:01:32,617 --> 00:01:35,097
Speaker 2: going to surprise me with that one among the I

25
00:01:35,137 --> 00:01:36,017
Speaker 2: have said, among the.

26
00:01:37,657 --> 00:01:39,537
Speaker 3: Yeah, your invitation is more enhanced though.

27
00:01:39,577 --> 00:01:42,937
Speaker 2: Yeahs Fauci, I think is And I really say this

28
00:01:43,417 --> 00:01:46,337
Speaker 2: in all honesty. I think that he may be the

29
00:01:46,537 --> 00:01:50,017
Speaker 2: single most destructive bureaucrat in the history of the bureaucrat

30
00:01:50,057 --> 00:01:52,217
Speaker 2: in the history of the United States. And I think

31
00:01:52,257 --> 00:01:56,737
Speaker 2: he may be personally responsible for, as a function of policy, uh,

32
00:01:56,977 --> 00:02:01,737
Speaker 2: more suffering misery and economic calamity than any other living

33
00:02:01,737 --> 00:02:04,137
Speaker 2: American today. So that that's how I try to line

34
00:02:04,137 --> 00:02:06,697
Speaker 2: it up. But a graduate of Regis High School.

35
00:02:07,537 --> 00:02:10,977
Speaker 3: That that that's said that what's it's uh the Telerance

36
00:02:11,457 --> 00:02:13,937
Speaker 3: remark when he heard that memory Antoinette had been executed,

37
00:02:13,937 --> 00:02:17,657
Speaker 3: he said, well, I'm nothing against her personally, you know, well,

38
00:02:17,897 --> 00:02:20,897
Speaker 3: I'm nothing. I'm nothing against it personally. He's in he's

39
00:02:21,057 --> 00:02:23,577
Speaker 3: remember the class of fifty eight, which would have been

40
00:02:23,577 --> 00:02:23,977
Speaker 3: my year.

41
00:02:24,537 --> 00:02:27,537
Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah, yes.

42
00:02:26,937 --> 00:02:29,497
Speaker 3: He played basketball there. But anyway, that's our way I went.

43
00:02:29,777 --> 00:02:30,297
Speaker 1: We are here.

44
00:02:30,337 --> 00:02:33,657
Speaker 2: We are here to figure out how we can uh

45
00:02:33,737 --> 00:02:36,457
Speaker 2: save the Republican Party and save a whole lot of law,

46
00:02:36,697 --> 00:02:38,697
Speaker 2: a whole lot of lives. Also in the process, Professor

47
00:02:38,817 --> 00:02:41,377
Speaker 2: arkis in the Fight for life layout. Let me give

48
00:02:41,417 --> 00:02:42,937
Speaker 2: you a premise and then I want to let you

49
00:02:42,977 --> 00:02:46,657
Speaker 2: just take take it away. Right now, the momentum is

50
00:02:47,377 --> 00:02:50,337
Speaker 2: the GOP cannot win going into this election on the

51
00:02:50,377 --> 00:02:54,417
Speaker 2: issue of being pro life or the fight for life.

52
00:02:55,057 --> 00:02:57,697
Speaker 2: That is the that is the the issue du jour

53
00:02:57,817 --> 00:03:00,017
Speaker 2: right now in a lot for a lot of people,

54
00:03:00,657 --> 00:03:02,817
Speaker 2: that is the where the political momentum is.

55
00:03:02,817 --> 00:03:03,497
Speaker 1: What do you say?

56
00:03:04,937 --> 00:03:09,017
Speaker 3: I say, this is this? They have this view. You know,

57
00:03:09,097 --> 00:03:12,257
Speaker 3: the Republican political class has always been kind of sheepish

58
00:03:12,257 --> 00:03:14,737
Speaker 3: and talking about this. You know, the genius of the

59
00:03:14,777 --> 00:03:19,497
Speaker 3: conservative jewisprudence is that we would return the issue to

60
00:03:19,497 --> 00:03:22,257
Speaker 3: the political arena. They return it to the political arena

61
00:03:22,457 --> 00:03:24,937
Speaker 3: where the culture had been now stacked against us for

62
00:03:24,937 --> 00:03:27,617
Speaker 3: fifty years with the Court have been teaching there's something

63
00:03:27,697 --> 00:03:31,457
Speaker 3: deeply rightful and necessary about abortion. So you're turning it

64
00:03:31,537 --> 00:03:35,457
Speaker 3: into that kind of culture without doing any teaching. And

65
00:03:35,497 --> 00:03:38,057
Speaker 3: the critical point is that no, there's a way of

66
00:03:38,217 --> 00:03:43,457
Speaker 3: returning tables on the Democrats and bringing forth, as my

67
00:03:43,537 --> 00:03:46,457
Speaker 3: pitch is, the old Born Alive Infants Protection Act. This

68
00:03:46,617 --> 00:03:49,937
Speaker 3: was brought forth twenty years ago. Something I wrote for

69
00:03:50,017 --> 00:03:53,617
Speaker 3: the debating kid of the first first George Bush to

70
00:03:54,097 --> 00:03:56,617
Speaker 3: all write a panic among the Republican Party when the

71
00:03:56,737 --> 00:04:00,137
Speaker 3: question was an abortion could be returned to the States.

72
00:03:59,977 --> 00:04:03,937
Speaker 2: Tell everybody about what the Born Alive Protection Act is?

73
00:04:05,497 --> 00:04:08,297
Speaker 3: That was it a move to make the first most

74
00:04:08,457 --> 00:04:12,737
Speaker 3: modest step on abortion, to see if we could protect

75
00:04:12,777 --> 00:04:16,097
Speaker 3: simply the child who survived in abortion. Because there was

76
00:04:16,137 --> 00:04:19,337
Speaker 3: one federal court in nineteen seventy seven dealing with a

77
00:04:19,417 --> 00:04:22,217
Speaker 3: child who survived an abortion for twenty one days, undergone

78
00:04:22,217 --> 00:04:25,577
Speaker 3: a surgery, died. The question was where's there an obligation

79
00:04:25,657 --> 00:04:28,457
Speaker 3: to preserve the life that child? And the answer tended

80
00:04:28,457 --> 00:04:31,617
Speaker 3: by Judge Hainsworth was no, it is not a child

81
00:04:31,737 --> 00:04:35,697
Speaker 3: mark for for the protection of the law. That's a

82
00:04:35,697 --> 00:04:39,297
Speaker 3: fetus of mark for an abortion. In other words, the

83
00:04:39,377 --> 00:04:41,897
Speaker 3: right to an abortion was the right to a dead fetus.

84
00:04:42,337 --> 00:04:45,217
Speaker 3: So I had something the draft for President Bush saying

85
00:04:45,217 --> 00:04:47,577
Speaker 3: why don't we start there? Because the other side says

86
00:04:49,377 --> 00:04:53,297
Speaker 3: they're against infanticide, which means they're willing to protect the

87
00:04:53,377 --> 00:04:55,777
Speaker 3: child at some point, So let's invite them to tell

88
00:04:55,857 --> 00:04:59,057
Speaker 3: us when and if nothing else is forthcoming, what about birth?

89
00:04:59,417 --> 00:05:03,057
Speaker 3: Can we protect a child born alive? Well, we started that.

90
00:05:03,177 --> 00:05:05,137
Speaker 3: We brought that fourth in two thousand. It was passing

91
00:05:05,177 --> 00:05:08,657
Speaker 3: two thousand and two, and to say that even that

92
00:05:08,777 --> 00:05:13,737
Speaker 3: child marked for an abortion is a person protected under

93
00:05:13,777 --> 00:05:17,137
Speaker 3: the law. But for the sake of averting a veto

94
00:05:17,217 --> 00:05:20,897
Speaker 3: from Bill Clinton at the time, the drafters of the

95
00:05:20,937 --> 00:05:25,377
Speaker 3: bill dropped the penalties. But then in twenty thirteen, we

96
00:05:25,417 --> 00:05:29,257
Speaker 3: had this abutoire run by doctor Gosnoll in Philadelphia. We

97
00:05:29,257 --> 00:05:32,257
Speaker 3: were snipping the necks of babies who survived the abortion.

98
00:05:32,977 --> 00:05:34,617
Speaker 3: And one of the women who was helping us at

99
00:05:34,617 --> 00:05:39,297
Speaker 3: the time, just Stantic, a nurse in Illinois, was dealing

100
00:05:39,297 --> 00:05:41,857
Speaker 3: with a live birth abortion where the child was delivered

101
00:05:41,897 --> 00:05:44,937
Speaker 3: live and put in the refuse room to die. And

102
00:05:44,937 --> 00:05:47,337
Speaker 3: as she got on the air, nurses were calling in

103
00:05:47,377 --> 00:05:49,577
Speaker 3: all over the country saying, we've been doing those for

104
00:05:49,697 --> 00:05:52,937
Speaker 3: years in our hospital. More of this was going on

105
00:05:53,017 --> 00:05:56,457
Speaker 3: than we thought. Well, when the killing started again in

106
00:05:56,457 --> 00:06:00,057
Speaker 3: twenty thirteen, this was the moment to bring forth the

107
00:06:00,137 --> 00:06:03,377
Speaker 3: move to restore those penalties that had been stripped away

108
00:06:04,457 --> 00:06:07,777
Speaker 3: when we first enacted the bill. The Democrats were embarrassed

109
00:06:07,777 --> 00:06:12,377
Speaker 3: to oppose it, so they were the Democrats in controlled

110
00:06:12,417 --> 00:06:15,697
Speaker 3: the Senate. Harry Reid brought the bill to the floor

111
00:06:15,737 --> 00:06:19,137
Speaker 3: of the for the vote, and Kyl Rove asked me

112
00:06:19,177 --> 00:06:22,217
Speaker 3: when we were signing. The President was signed the bill,

113
00:06:22,257 --> 00:06:24,777
Speaker 3: Karl said, why do you think they let that happen?

114
00:06:25,497 --> 00:06:27,657
Speaker 3: I said, I don't know. What's your surmise? They thought,

115
00:06:28,097 --> 00:06:31,137
Speaker 3: he thought people must have cared about this. Well, I

116
00:06:31,137 --> 00:06:34,737
Speaker 3: don't know. When the killings started again in twenty thirteen,

117
00:06:34,777 --> 00:06:37,937
Speaker 3: we'd bring it back. But now there's a dramatically altered situation.

118
00:06:38,617 --> 00:06:41,137
Speaker 3: The Democrats had were reluctantly gone wrong with us in

119
00:06:41,177 --> 00:06:44,137
Speaker 3: two thousand and two, but now the division between the

120
00:06:44,177 --> 00:06:49,297
Speaker 3: parties was utterly cohesive. Every Publican voting in this House

121
00:06:49,897 --> 00:06:53,137
Speaker 3: voted to restore the penalties to the Born Alive Act,

122
00:06:53,457 --> 00:06:58,297
Speaker 3: and virtually every Democrat voting that was in September twenty

123
00:06:58,417 --> 00:07:02,057
Speaker 3: fifteen voted against, except for a handful of pro life

124
00:07:02,097 --> 00:07:07,097
Speaker 3: Democrats still there. So that September twenty fifteen, who was

125
00:07:07,137 --> 00:07:10,297
Speaker 3: tried again in January twenty eighteen, with the republic can

126
00:07:10,337 --> 00:07:14,137
Speaker 3: still in control, same kind of vote, cohesive alignment, and

127
00:07:14,217 --> 00:07:16,777
Speaker 3: let's try it again in January twenty twenty three, when

128
00:07:16,777 --> 00:07:20,217
Speaker 3: the Republicans came back and the vote was that party

129
00:07:20,257 --> 00:07:23,857
Speaker 3: line down the way two twenty to two ten. There's

130
00:07:23,897 --> 00:07:28,177
Speaker 3: only one pro life Democrat, Henry Cooler, who came over. See.

131
00:07:28,217 --> 00:07:31,137
Speaker 3: So the point is for their Democrat, the cats right now,

132
00:07:32,857 --> 00:07:35,297
Speaker 3: the right to abortion does not even end at the

133
00:07:35,337 --> 00:07:38,337
Speaker 3: point of birth. And the curious point is that this

134
00:07:38,377 --> 00:07:41,457
Speaker 3: has never been picked up the even Fox News. I

135
00:07:41,497 --> 00:07:44,137
Speaker 3: heard Bett Bear doing an interview with Doug Showan saying

136
00:07:44,657 --> 00:07:47,737
Speaker 3: this is the issue abortion that will win it and

137
00:07:47,817 --> 00:07:51,417
Speaker 3: win it for Joe Biden. And what was amazing is

138
00:07:51,457 --> 00:07:53,897
Speaker 3: that Brett Bear could not turn and say, but don't

139
00:07:53,977 --> 00:07:56,617
Speaker 3: you to them, don't you think the Democrats have a

140
00:07:56,657 --> 00:08:00,217
Speaker 3: problem that they acknowledge no limits to the right to

141
00:08:00,257 --> 00:08:04,817
Speaker 3: abortion even when the child comes out alive. Fox News

142
00:08:04,857 --> 00:08:08,417
Speaker 3: will not cover it. Beth Bear was a participant in

143
00:08:08,577 --> 00:08:13,977
Speaker 3: three presidential bates over twenty sixteen to twenty sixteen and

144
00:08:14,017 --> 00:08:18,097
Speaker 3: then twenty twenty, and other debates among the Republicans never

145
00:08:18,177 --> 00:08:20,977
Speaker 3: raise the issue, so there's some kind of a blockage there.

146
00:08:21,777 --> 00:08:25,057
Speaker 3: But for Trump, this is tailor, This is tailor made

147
00:08:25,097 --> 00:08:25,377
Speaker 3: for him.

148
00:08:25,457 --> 00:08:27,617
Speaker 2: Can we, professor Ars, can we hold for one second

149
00:08:27,977 --> 00:08:29,377
Speaker 2: because I want I want to bring you back on

150
00:08:29,377 --> 00:08:33,017
Speaker 2: this specific issue of Trump, but just with a line

151
00:08:33,017 --> 00:08:34,617
Speaker 2: of the clock out A word from our sponsor here,

152
00:08:34,657 --> 00:08:36,977
Speaker 2: the Oxford Gold Group. I keep hearing that people are

153
00:08:37,017 --> 00:08:38,897
Speaker 2: on the fence about owning gold and silver, and look,

154
00:08:38,937 --> 00:08:41,177
Speaker 2: I get it right. This is something you want to do.

155
00:08:41,377 --> 00:08:43,857
Speaker 2: A put a portion of your assets inswer. You want

156
00:08:43,897 --> 00:08:46,777
Speaker 2: to diversify. You want to have some precious metals on hand,

157
00:08:47,217 --> 00:08:50,377
Speaker 2: because just look at what can happen with the massive

158
00:08:50,457 --> 00:08:54,417
Speaker 2: changes in inflation in global economies. You could have a

159
00:08:54,457 --> 00:08:57,777
Speaker 2: war breakout. And if you look historically, gold and silver

160
00:08:57,937 --> 00:09:00,217
Speaker 2: have increase in value over time. You can use it

161
00:09:00,257 --> 00:09:03,937
Speaker 2: as a hedge against inflation. It's a tangible currency in

162
00:09:03,977 --> 00:09:06,417
Speaker 2: the event of things going really haywire, but also just

163
00:09:06,497 --> 00:09:09,257
Speaker 2: a store of historical value. That's what gold is. I

164
00:09:09,297 --> 00:09:11,737
Speaker 2: have gold and silver on hand. I think you should too.

165
00:09:11,817 --> 00:09:14,777

00:09:28,217 --> 00:09:30,737
Speaker 2: Professor Arkis, So bring us back to the wait.

173
00:09:31,577 --> 00:09:33,297
Speaker 3: I put it. I put in my order into the gold.

174
00:09:33,377 --> 00:09:35,297
Speaker 3: He was a sofas, Thank.

175
00:09:35,137 --> 00:09:35,537
Speaker 1: You, sir.

176
00:09:36,177 --> 00:09:40,257
Speaker 2: It's ever if you if you look, if you look

177
00:09:40,297 --> 00:09:42,577
Speaker 2: at a charge gold gold the last.

178
00:09:42,337 --> 00:09:44,737
Speaker 1: Thirty years pretty sound.

179
00:09:45,737 --> 00:09:49,097
Speaker 2: It turns out, you know what people you know what

180
00:09:49,137 --> 00:09:51,177
Speaker 2: people get concerned about, or rather when they ask me

181
00:09:51,217 --> 00:09:53,577
Speaker 2: what worries me? True story. Actually somebody called in once

182
00:09:53,617 --> 00:09:56,817
Speaker 2: and asked in twenty nineteen, twenty nineteen, what kept me

183
00:09:56,897 --> 00:10:00,377
Speaker 2: up late at night? And I said, uh, it was

184
00:10:00,417 --> 00:10:04,177
Speaker 2: actually back to your I said, a mutated bacterial pandemic,

185
00:10:04,337 --> 00:10:06,697
Speaker 2: something like a bubonic plague. And this is pre COVID

186
00:10:06,737 --> 00:10:09,457
Speaker 2: and everything else. But the one that I still now

187
00:10:09,457 --> 00:10:11,417
Speaker 2: we've been through that whole nightmare, but the one that

188
00:10:11,457 --> 00:10:13,377
Speaker 2: I still tell everybody. If you really want to feel

189
00:10:13,417 --> 00:10:15,657
Speaker 2: bad about the future, just look at the history of

190
00:10:15,697 --> 00:10:19,017
Speaker 2: Fiat currency over time. Look at what ends up happening

191
00:10:19,057 --> 00:10:22,177
Speaker 2: over time. It is not a happy story when governments

192
00:10:22,217 --> 00:10:24,577
Speaker 2: are able to print money, whether you're talking about ancient

193
00:10:24,697 --> 00:10:29,137
Speaker 2: Rome or or various iterations of French regimes, or just

194
00:10:29,137 --> 00:10:29,897
Speaker 2: go down the list.

195
00:10:30,457 --> 00:10:34,937
Speaker 3: But Professor Kay, talk about anchoring, talk about anchoring moral truths.

196
00:10:35,057 --> 00:10:35,737
Speaker 3: You've got one.

197
00:10:35,937 --> 00:10:38,857
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, someone's got to pay the bills.

198
00:10:38,857 --> 00:10:42,097
Speaker 3: Professor listen, I think the good news in the morning

199
00:10:42,217 --> 00:10:44,337
Speaker 3: was that people are still reluctant, were getting get more

200
00:10:44,337 --> 00:10:47,697
Speaker 3: reluctant to buy electric cars. That is, that's very helpful

201
00:10:47,737 --> 00:10:48,097
Speaker 3: news for.

202
00:10:48,057 --> 00:10:51,097
Speaker 2: This Well, I my favorite story of the last week

203
00:10:51,537 --> 00:10:54,257
Speaker 2: or the last couple of weeks wash you know, the

204
00:10:54,297 --> 00:10:56,657
Speaker 2: New Republic, which should just be called the new Communist

205
00:10:57,097 --> 00:10:59,857
Speaker 2: They they have admitted that recycling plastic.

206
00:10:59,537 --> 00:11:00,697
Speaker 1: Is a giant waste of time.

207
00:11:01,377 --> 00:11:04,497
Speaker 2: Finally, which is which is a huge, a huge benefit

208
00:11:04,537 --> 00:11:05,977
Speaker 2: I think, I think to mankind.

209
00:11:06,017 --> 00:11:09,537
Speaker 1: So all right, now back to the issue hand.

210
00:11:09,657 --> 00:11:11,817
Speaker 2: But I know some people I'm not going to say who,

211
00:11:11,857 --> 00:11:13,577
Speaker 2: I know some people who maybe can get in Trump's

212
00:11:13,657 --> 00:11:17,537
Speaker 2: year on some things. Professor arkis and he is our nominee,

213
00:11:17,737 --> 00:11:19,857
Speaker 2: and he is going to have to address this issue

214
00:11:19,897 --> 00:11:21,857
Speaker 2: of life. How can he do it? How do we

215
00:11:21,897 --> 00:11:25,177
Speaker 2: do the two things of maintaining principle, saving lives but

216
00:11:25,337 --> 00:11:28,457
Speaker 2: also winning because if you lose, then the lunatics are

217
00:11:28,457 --> 00:11:29,057
Speaker 2: in charge.

218
00:11:30,497 --> 00:11:32,297
Speaker 3: Well, no, this is Taylor made for him, and my

219
00:11:32,377 --> 00:11:35,337
Speaker 3: dear friend Tom Klegenstein is supposed to be interviewing Trump.

220
00:11:35,377 --> 00:11:37,617
Speaker 3: He's been close to Trump. He'll try to get this

221
00:11:37,737 --> 00:11:40,377
Speaker 3: my piece in his hands. This is Taylor made for

222
00:11:40,417 --> 00:11:44,097
Speaker 3: Trump because he's come out with av of the sixteen

223
00:11:44,097 --> 00:11:47,937
Speaker 3: week bill on abortion, which is good because he's as

224
00:11:48,057 --> 00:11:50,657
Speaker 3: we can do something at the national level. But the

225
00:11:50,657 --> 00:11:52,817
Speaker 3: other side will just pound him on the matter of

226
00:11:52,817 --> 00:11:56,697
Speaker 3: your doing something to a national vote. What he could

227
00:11:56,737 --> 00:11:58,617
Speaker 3: do is just turn the tables on him. He doesn't

228
00:11:58,657 --> 00:12:01,177
Speaker 3: have to be on the defensive. He said, look, you

229
00:12:01,297 --> 00:12:05,897
Speaker 3: have something to explain. You will not acknowledge a limit

230
00:12:05,937 --> 00:12:08,817
Speaker 3: to abortion even at the point of birth. We're going

231
00:12:08,897 --> 00:12:12,097
Speaker 3: to start with that of all bill to put in

232
00:12:12,217 --> 00:12:16,217
Speaker 3: place that simplest point that even that child mark from

233
00:12:16,297 --> 00:12:19,897
Speaker 3: abortion is a human being, a small human being who

234
00:12:19,897 --> 00:12:23,297
Speaker 3: comes with the protection of the law. Can we he said,

235
00:12:23,537 --> 00:12:26,937
Speaker 3: we can bring together people on both sides, even he

236
00:12:26,977 --> 00:12:29,897
Speaker 3: wants to do that, even people who are pro choice.

237
00:12:30,217 --> 00:12:34,537
Speaker 3: Looks up some restrictions on abortion, he could bring them over. Now,

238
00:12:35,257 --> 00:12:37,817
Speaker 3: even if the Republicans take control of the Senate, it

239
00:12:37,817 --> 00:12:40,657
Speaker 3: will be very hard to get sixty votes to bring

240
00:12:40,697 --> 00:12:44,497
Speaker 3: that bill on sixteen weeks to the floor for the vote.

241
00:12:45,097 --> 00:12:47,377
Speaker 3: But you will be able to bring that bill on

242
00:12:48,457 --> 00:12:51,617
Speaker 3: saving life the child who survives. You will be able

243
00:12:51,617 --> 00:12:54,057
Speaker 3: to get that to the to the get sixty votes

244
00:12:54,097 --> 00:12:56,617
Speaker 3: to bring that to the floor finally, and what's that's

245
00:12:56,657 --> 00:12:58,737
Speaker 3: in place? Of course the other side, I said, wow,

246
00:12:58,737 --> 00:13:01,697
Speaker 3: you want to do some other things. See, of course

247
00:13:01,737 --> 00:13:03,737
Speaker 3: we're not hiding it from you. We're going to come

248
00:13:03,737 --> 00:13:06,417
Speaker 3: back and ask you what's the difference of that same

249
00:13:06,617 --> 00:13:11,817
Speaker 3: child five minutes earlier, five weeks, five days, five months earlier.

250
00:13:11,977 --> 00:13:15,297
Speaker 3: It's the same child. Now here's the point. If you

251
00:13:15,337 --> 00:13:17,657
Speaker 3: don't want to go with us, well then you don't

252
00:13:17,697 --> 00:13:20,977
Speaker 3: vote with us. It's our job to persuade you. You

253
00:13:21,017 --> 00:13:23,737
Speaker 3: have nothing to lose. But we're telling you. Once we

254
00:13:23,857 --> 00:13:26,857
Speaker 3: put in place that point, we've given you something to

255
00:13:26,897 --> 00:13:31,137
Speaker 3: think about. Look, just as Leader made the point in

256
00:13:31,177 --> 00:13:34,577
Speaker 3: that Dobb's decision that if we can protect the child

257
00:13:34,897 --> 00:13:39,857
Speaker 3: after viability, after the child could be survive outside the womb,

258
00:13:40,777 --> 00:13:43,817
Speaker 3: why can't we protect the same child before viability. It's

259
00:13:43,857 --> 00:13:47,937
Speaker 3: the same child. It's the same child. So whether we're

260
00:13:47,937 --> 00:13:51,937
Speaker 3: talking about fifteen weeks or six weeks, it's the same entity.

261
00:13:52,177 --> 00:13:54,297
Speaker 3: We think with the same child. Now, if you just

262
00:13:54,377 --> 00:13:59,137
Speaker 3: plant that first point that people are clear whatever this is, No,

263
00:13:59,657 --> 00:14:01,377
Speaker 3: we don't think that the right to abortion is the

264
00:14:01,457 --> 00:14:04,817
Speaker 3: right to kill a baby who survives. That's a real

265
00:14:04,897 --> 00:14:07,697
Speaker 3: human being with a claim to our concern and protection,

266
00:14:08,617 --> 00:14:12,937
Speaker 3: just plant simple point that the media refuse to cover

267
00:14:13,377 --> 00:14:14,577
Speaker 3: and refuse to acknowledge.

268
00:14:14,697 --> 00:14:16,977
Speaker 2: Oh, I was gonna say, I hopefully, but I can

269
00:14:17,017 --> 00:14:21,177
Speaker 2: assume that the the response to this, having been in

270
00:14:21,217 --> 00:14:24,417
Speaker 2: some of these public scuffles, Professor archis now for for

271
00:14:24,497 --> 00:14:26,617
Speaker 2: many years. You know what they will say, and this

272
00:14:26,697 --> 00:14:27,697
Speaker 2: is this is a tough one.

273
00:14:27,737 --> 00:14:28,777
Speaker 1: This is UH.

274
00:14:28,857 --> 00:14:32,777
Speaker 2: They will deny reality. They will say that this does

275
00:14:32,897 --> 00:14:36,137
Speaker 2: not happen, that there's no need for even what you

276
00:14:36,177 --> 00:14:39,257
Speaker 2: are talking about because it does not happen. And then

277
00:14:39,257 --> 00:14:41,097
Speaker 2: if we show them, well, here is a case of

278
00:14:41,137 --> 00:14:43,657
Speaker 2: it happening, they'll say, well, that was just one case.

279
00:14:43,697 --> 00:14:46,217
Speaker 2: You know, this is this is where it becomes impossible.

280
00:14:46,217 --> 00:14:50,177
Speaker 2: It's like arguing with the with the UH, the mass psychology,

281
00:14:51,057 --> 00:14:54,017
Speaker 2: and instead of any individual who can take your argument

282
00:14:54,057 --> 00:14:54,857
Speaker 2: at face value.

283
00:14:56,417 --> 00:14:59,297
Speaker 3: But the answer to that is it does happen. We

284
00:14:59,377 --> 00:15:01,737
Speaker 3: have the the case, the evidence about the case of

285
00:15:01,817 --> 00:15:05,657
Speaker 3: doctor Gosnell in Philadelphia snipping the nets of those babies.

286
00:15:05,857 --> 00:15:08,817
Speaker 3: We have Jenna Nessen and the people we've brought forth

287
00:15:08,817 --> 00:15:11,777
Speaker 3: in the hearings, the women, the people who've survived, the

288
00:15:11,857 --> 00:15:14,937
Speaker 3: survivors abortion who aren't here to tell the story that

289
00:15:15,017 --> 00:15:18,137
Speaker 3: it happened, and we have the kind of testimonies brought

290
00:15:18,137 --> 00:15:21,457
Speaker 3: in by Jill Staneka, by nurses throughout the country that yes,

291
00:15:21,657 --> 00:15:24,657
Speaker 3: it really is happening. It really is happening. We're not

292
00:15:24,697 --> 00:15:27,337
Speaker 3: collecting all the evidence on it, but it is happening.

293
00:15:27,537 --> 00:15:30,337
Speaker 3: And the point is, look, even if we're dealing with

294
00:15:30,417 --> 00:15:33,417
Speaker 3: only a handful of lives, buck, this is the argument.

295
00:15:34,097 --> 00:15:37,257
Speaker 3: Even if we're saving a handful of lives, and we

296
00:15:37,257 --> 00:15:40,177
Speaker 3: can carve out from that vast volume of eight hundred

297
00:15:40,257 --> 00:15:44,657
Speaker 3: thousand abortions a year, we can rescue a handful of lives.

298
00:15:44,977 --> 00:15:46,737
Speaker 3: There's nothing trifling about that.

299
00:15:47,657 --> 00:15:50,177
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, that's just one.

300
00:15:50,217 --> 00:15:52,817
Speaker 2: Life applies to democrats and a whole range of endeavors,

301
00:15:53,057 --> 00:15:53,617
Speaker 2: not this one.

302
00:15:53,697 --> 00:15:56,097
Speaker 1: So much, that said so much.

303
00:15:56,137 --> 00:15:57,057
Speaker 3: That's right, that's right.

304
00:15:57,137 --> 00:15:59,057
Speaker 2: I also want to ask you, professor, while we got you,

305
00:15:59,177 --> 00:16:00,697
Speaker 2: just to weigh in a little bit on the on

306
00:16:00,737 --> 00:16:04,097
Speaker 2: the campus issue. But first and a little bit of

307
00:16:04,137 --> 00:16:06,617
Speaker 2: ammerst the place we share in common and what things

308
00:16:06,937 --> 00:16:09,417
Speaker 2: how things turned after we left. We'll do a few

309
00:16:09,457 --> 00:16:12,177
Speaker 2: minutes on that here to come back. But first up,

310
00:16:12,217 --> 00:16:15,017
Speaker 2: you know, I want to tell everybody about Patriot Defender

311
00:16:15,137 --> 00:16:18,537
Speaker 2: It is a legal defense membership, and it's something that

312
00:16:18,697 --> 00:16:20,937
Speaker 2: you just want to have these days, no cost, legal

313
00:16:20,937 --> 00:16:24,137
Speaker 2: defense to protect your rights, freedom's reputation, and way of life.

314
00:16:24,337 --> 00:16:25,457
Speaker 1: Speak up at a school.

315
00:16:25,177 --> 00:16:28,897
Speaker 2: Board meeting about vaccine mandate, suffer consequences, your legal defense

316

Speaker 2: is covered, your right to free speech is denied, You

00:16:31,097 --> 00:16:34,057
Speaker 2: suffer consequences. Legal defense covered. Have to use a second

318
00:16:34,057 --> 00:16:37,977
Speaker 2: amendment to defend yourself, IRS, audit assistance, a whole range

319
00:16:38,097 --> 00:16:42,217
Speaker 2: of things that involve your essential liberties, your constitutionally protected rights.

320
00:16:42,497 --> 00:16:45,377
Speaker 2: Patriot Defender is there for you. I'm a believer in

321

326
00:17:01,457 --> 00:17:04,737
Speaker 2: Go to Patriot Defender dot com. Professor Arkis this is

327
00:17:04,817 --> 00:17:08,297
Speaker 2: the we go through this exercise. Sometimes when it comes

328
00:17:08,337 --> 00:17:12,377
Speaker 2: to the way the media covers Trump with how is it,

329
00:17:12,377 --> 00:17:15,217
Speaker 2: it almost becomes metaphysical. They say Trump is hitler, and

330
00:17:15,217 --> 00:17:17,777
Speaker 2: then he's worse than Hitler, and then we say, well,

331
00:17:17,777 --> 00:17:19,897
Speaker 2: how can you be worse than worse than Hitler? You know,

332
00:17:20,017 --> 00:17:22,417
Speaker 2: where do they go? Where does where does when they

333
00:17:22,497 --> 00:17:24,657
Speaker 2: go to eleven on the dial and there is no twelve.

334
00:17:25,537 --> 00:17:28,617
Speaker 2: That's a bit how I felt about about the politics

335
00:17:28,657 --> 00:17:30,897
Speaker 2: that reigned at Amherst twenty years ago.

336
00:17:31,657 --> 00:17:33,457
Speaker 1: What happens? What happened since?

337
00:17:35,697 --> 00:17:38,017
Speaker 3: Oh, it's just it's it's just it's just been hideous.

338
00:17:38,057 --> 00:17:40,417
Speaker 3: I remember when nine to eleven occurred when you were

339
00:17:40,417 --> 00:17:42,617
Speaker 3: a student. Yeah, I remember, I didn't. I didn't go

340
00:17:42,697 --> 00:17:44,857
Speaker 3: to the faculty meeting because I knew what was going on.

341
00:17:45,177 --> 00:17:47,737
Speaker 3: We're gonna have colleagues telling us somehow that thing in

342
00:17:47,777 --> 00:17:51,257
Speaker 3: nine to eleven it was somehow our fault, and I

343
00:17:51,297 --> 00:17:53,697
Speaker 3: think it was. I thought it was either you or

344
00:17:53,777 --> 00:17:55,777
Speaker 3: Ted Hertzberg who got up in the middle of that

345
00:17:55,857 --> 00:17:58,897
Speaker 3: crowd and said, I can't believe we're hearing this from

346
00:17:58,937 --> 00:18:03,217
Speaker 3: grown ups now in the Amherst. Amherst.

347
00:18:03,457 --> 00:18:05,857
Speaker 2: It was feisty little Hertzburg, by the way, shout out

348
00:18:05,857 --> 00:18:07,057
Speaker 2: to feisty little Herzburg.

349
00:18:08,377 --> 00:18:10,857
Speaker 3: Okay, that's it, wasn't it.

350
00:18:10,937 --> 00:18:13,057
Speaker 2: I was there with him, I was sitting with him,

351
00:18:13,057 --> 00:18:14,297
Speaker 2: and he got up and dinner and then we got

352
00:18:14,297 --> 00:18:14,977
Speaker 2: out and we left.

353
00:18:15,057 --> 00:18:18,257
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought it was either you or Ted who

354
00:18:18,297 --> 00:18:21,137
Speaker 3: got that line off. It was great. And then people

355
00:18:21,257 --> 00:18:26,057
Speaker 3: came showed up for Republican meeting. Look and Amherst, it

356
00:18:26,137 --> 00:18:29,657
Speaker 3: is inconceivable you could have a meeting for the burning

357
00:18:29,697 --> 00:18:33,577
Speaker 3: of crosses. If there's anything said, any incident that indicates

358
00:18:33,937 --> 00:18:38,177
Speaker 3: racial animus. Classes are called off, there's a fake cross bred,

359
00:18:38,217 --> 00:18:40,497
Speaker 3: there's a cross brain at Ambers. Before you were a student,

360
00:18:41,017 --> 00:18:44,497
Speaker 3: it had classes were called off. And I raised the

361
00:18:44,577 --> 00:18:46,897
Speaker 3: question at the time, well what if the ACLU says

362
00:18:46,977 --> 00:18:49,977
Speaker 3: this is protected speech, Well, it doesn't matter to us.

363
00:18:50,177 --> 00:18:52,737
Speaker 3: Then it came out there were black students who burned

364
00:18:52,737 --> 00:18:55,497
Speaker 3: the cross for the sake of getting something going. People

365
00:18:55,497 --> 00:18:58,857
Speaker 3: had to change. But the point is it's just it.

366
00:18:59,657 --> 00:19:03,057
Speaker 3: Even though Scalia would say that it's right at the

367
00:19:03,057 --> 00:19:05,697
Speaker 3: First Amendment to burn crosses, I think a serious mistake.

368
00:19:06,097 --> 00:19:10,137
Speaker 3: It is inconceivable that the burning of crosses would be

369
00:19:10,257 --> 00:19:13,937
Speaker 3: permitted Amist College. So now I raise the question, why

370
00:19:14,137 --> 00:19:17,657
Speaker 3: would it be legitimate for people come out in a

371
00:19:17,657 --> 00:19:22,017
Speaker 3: mass meeting to say that the Jews have to be

372
00:19:22,097 --> 00:19:27,457
Speaker 3: cleared out of the Palestine, not that the Palestinians are

373
00:19:27,457 --> 00:19:29,737
Speaker 3: being ruled without their consent, because being ruled out with

374
00:19:29,857 --> 00:19:32,697
Speaker 3: art that consent without three elections in Gaza and the

375
00:19:32,697 --> 00:19:36,737
Speaker 3: Palestinian authority. It's that Israel's occupied because there are Jews

376
00:19:36,777 --> 00:19:39,897
Speaker 3: living there. And so what we're telling you is we

377
00:19:39,977 --> 00:19:43,817
Speaker 3: think that this savage killing of parents in front of

378
00:19:43,817 --> 00:19:46,697
Speaker 3: their children, the beheading of bab, we think that is

379
00:19:46,697 --> 00:19:51,377
Speaker 3: a justified move for the sake of clearing, of making

380
00:19:51,817 --> 00:19:55,817
Speaker 3: Palestine uten free. I don't understand why that would be

381
00:19:55,857 --> 00:19:59,057
Speaker 3: permitted any more than the burning of crosses on the canvas.

382
00:19:59,737 --> 00:20:02,657
Speaker 3: Now on another day, we might say, look, even Justice

383
00:20:02,657 --> 00:20:06,657
Speaker 3: Black greats of defender freedom, did not think it's legitimate

384
00:20:06,657 --> 00:20:09,657
Speaker 3: to have a mass meeting outside of a court room,

385
00:20:10,257 --> 00:20:13,337
Speaker 3: live the impression any decision there would be effected. A

386
00:20:13,337 --> 00:20:16,977
Speaker 3: mass meeting is simply a mass meeting. A college can say, look,

387
00:20:17,697 --> 00:20:19,857
Speaker 3: a mass meeting is simply a mass meeting. If you

388
00:20:19,897 --> 00:20:22,857
Speaker 3: have an argument to make, let's get together and have

389
00:20:22,937 --> 00:20:25,537
Speaker 3: a teaching as we used to have teachings, make an

390
00:20:25,657 --> 00:20:29,417
Speaker 3: argument and confront people on the other side. It's it's

391
00:20:29,817 --> 00:20:31,697
Speaker 3: it could be it's a moment where the colleges, the

392
00:20:31,737 --> 00:20:34,577
Speaker 3: university is gonna have to face up to something and

393
00:20:34,617 --> 00:20:39,377
Speaker 3: ask themselves just how serious is it to have a

394
00:20:39,497 --> 00:20:42,817
Speaker 3: critical portion of the students really making the case for

395
00:20:42,897 --> 00:20:46,377
Speaker 3: genocide on the campus. It would be inconceivable doing that

396
00:20:46,457 --> 00:20:49,777
Speaker 3: about blacks. So what is getting in the way of

397
00:20:49,897 --> 00:20:51,057
Speaker 3: their reasoning about this.

398
00:20:51,057 --> 00:20:53,417
Speaker 1: Matter, Professor Arcus?

399
00:20:53,417 --> 00:20:57,377
Speaker 2: Everybody where can folks go to follow more of the

400
00:20:57,377 --> 00:20:59,897
Speaker 2: work that you're doing the James Wilson Institute.

401
00:21:00,577 --> 00:21:04,137
Speaker 3: Oh, thanks for the thanks for the thanks for that book.

402
00:21:04,497 --> 00:21:08,937
Speaker 3: It's called the Date James Wilson Institute, named after one

403
00:21:08,937 --> 00:21:12,457
Speaker 3: of the premiere minds of the founders, James Wilson in

404
00:21:12,457 --> 00:21:16,217
Speaker 3: Philadelphia doesn't remember this first Supreme Court who doesn't get

405
00:21:16,377 --> 00:21:20,017
Speaker 3: enough celebration. So it's you could you could just dial

406
00:21:20,377 --> 00:21:24,297
Speaker 3: me have le Arcus or the James Wilson Institute James

407
00:21:24,297 --> 00:21:27,177
Speaker 3: Wilson Institute dot org, and you'll be filled in on

408
00:21:27,257 --> 00:21:30,017
Speaker 3: everything we're doing, everything we're publishing. Oh, there's my new book,

409
00:21:30,617 --> 00:21:35,217
Speaker 3: Mere Natural Law. It's like Sam Goldwin's O line. We said,

410
00:21:35,257 --> 00:21:36,697
Speaker 3: I don't care if I make a nickel on this

411
00:21:36,817 --> 00:21:39,017
Speaker 3: movie as long as every Man, Woman and the Child

412
00:21:39,097 --> 00:21:43,537
Speaker 3: the Country season. Okay, So it's Mere Natural Law done

413
00:21:43,537 --> 00:21:48,297
Speaker 3: by Regnery. And the point is we're talking about nothing theoretical,

414
00:21:48,417 --> 00:21:52,297
Speaker 3: nothing abs true, talking about those maxims of common sense

415
00:21:52,937 --> 00:21:57,177
Speaker 3: that ordinary people not only grasp readily, just have to

416
00:21:57,257 --> 00:21:59,657
Speaker 3: understand just in getting on with the business of life.

417
00:21:59,817 --> 00:22:03,217
Speaker 3: That's the pitch of the book. I don't I don't.

418
00:22:03,217 --> 00:22:05,017
Speaker 3: I don't see enough. I don't see enough of you.
