• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Thirty six minutes past the hour, joining me this morning
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: from Liberty Council as founder and just one of the
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: best people that helps more of you than you would
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: ever know in this country. Matt's daver or Matt welcome,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: How are you, sir?
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Very good, good to be with you again.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Matt. Give everybody a snapshot of the Center for Medical
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Progress and what Sandra Merritt and Dave Dallandoon were doing
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and how it landed them in trouble in California.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, David de Lighten and Santa Maria, both of those
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: back in twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, they got together. They
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: had never met each other before, but David reached out
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: to Sandra and they began to investigate the organ trafficking
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: scheme with Planned Parenthood abortion doctors and executives and then
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Oregon procurement companies as they would purchase them from the
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: abortion clinics and then sell them to the research lasse
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: that was actually funded by the NIH under doctor Fauci's
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: director and oversight. So this particular situation resulted in a
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: lot of investigation. They looked at all the recording laws
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: and they realized that if you did a recording undercover
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: where the other side didn't know you were filming them.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: There's an exception to the recording law if it's done
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: in a place where there's no expectation of privacy, like
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: a very heavily trafficked public place. So all of these
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: recordings were over dinner or at conferences, lots of people
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: coming to the table, lots of people around, and that's
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: what they did. And they sat down with these abortion
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: clinic doctors from Planned Parents and other executives in the
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: order procurement companies, and the videos were shocking. What we
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: found is that they were having late term abortions and
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: that even some of the abortion doctors. Doctor Nukotola was
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: changing the procedure of the abortion to grab the baby,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: bringing the baby out feet first in a breach position,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: and then leaving the rest of the body of the
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: head in side but everything outside, and then taking the
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: organs from the baby while the baby was still in
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: the mother's womb via the heads, so they would think, oh, well,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: it's not an abortion because the baby hasn't taken its
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: first breath yet. They did that to get more intact organs.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: More intact the organs, the higher the prices. Some of
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: these baby body parts sold for seventeen thousand dollars apiece,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: and they did this over and over again. They sold
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: them to these they did these abortions. The women oftentimes
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: most of the time, they didn't know, they didn't know
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: their babies were being aborted. For selling their baby body
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: parts while they're still out in front of the abortion
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: clinic throwing up. They're risking these body parts off in
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: various express trucks to be sold. So what happened is
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: as a result of those videos, there was a huge backlash,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: a huge outcry with what was going on with Planned
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Parenthood and these abortion clinics. Kamala Harris was the attorney general.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: She began to do the criminal investigation and she raided
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: David's house, took all of the rest of the videos
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: so none of them could be shown anymore. And then
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Xavier Besara took over her position, and then he got
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: sixteen felony charges against both Sandra and David. And that's
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: been going on now for eight years. So just recently,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: just this week Monday, after eight years of litigation, we
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: whittled the sixteen felonies down to about eight, but any
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: one of those could have sent Sandra and David to
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: prison for ten years. This would have been a jury
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: in San Francisco, a two month trial involving planned parent
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: and abortion, and any one of those could have been
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: a ten year prison sentence. So we have been defending, appealing,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: litigating over and over for eight years. Very intense, highly
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: expensive proposition. But you know, life has no value other
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: than it's You can't put a value on it, and
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: so to have these people thrown in jail be an injustice.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: On Monday, we had a dramatic breakthrough when we were
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: in court. The case is now over and that means
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Sandra Merritt will not She's entered a plea of no
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: contest to one count that will be wiped away, and
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: then she has no jail time, no fines, no restoration.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Sandra and David are now finally finally free after all
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: these years, with Damicle's sword hanging over their neck. Of
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: the extended prison sentences.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Matt, now, what happens to those videos, what happens to
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the work that they did?
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Well. The interesting thing is when we went to a
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: preliminary criminal hearing where they decide whether they will continue
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: the case, we were able to show a few of
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: the videos, but then we went to the other case
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: involving plant parented in the civil the judge didn't allow
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: us to show any So these videos have basically been
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: under court order because the Kamala Harris not to be
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: released for the past ten years since they were produced
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: in twenty fifteen. But last year Marjorie Taylor Green subpoena
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: these videos and showed them in Congress in a congressional hearing,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: and as a result of that, these videos are now public.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: So we haven't been able to share most of these videos,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: but now we can, and now you can see exactly
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: what we're talking about. The judge did not want in
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: these cases the juries to see these videos, and you'll
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: see why because they are absolutely disturbing.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I remember when they came out, they were horrific.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're horrific. I mean, there's one video and there's
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: one testimony in the case from an expert. She wasn't
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: an abortionist, but she was a research facility professor and
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: scientists out of the university in California, and she was
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: doing research on mice. But one day they got a
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: package delivery. Wasn't hers, it was one of her colleagues
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: sh open it up, but it was a baby beating heart.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Sandra and David spoke to her as part of their
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: investigation and then brought her on the stand. The state
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: threatened her that they would prosecute her if she even testified.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: She testified anyway thanks to her bravery, and what she
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: said was this heart beating while it got to the
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: lab had to still be beating when it was taken
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: out of the baby. She was shocked that this would
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: have been extracted from a baby that was still alive
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: when the heart was taken out. And they did that
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: so that they could get higher prices for their organ procurement. Now,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: some of the organ procurement companies, prosecutor in Orange County
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: came after them for violating state and federal laws. Some
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: of them went bankrupt because of the frines. Others are
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: still in existence. But Planned Parenthood and these doctors that
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: are part of this that were wearing the Planned Parenthood
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: abortioned his hat and the organ procurement hat and going
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: back and forth between the two, not a single one
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: of them have been charged. This is the injustice that
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: we see the weaponization of government. You know, Donald Trump's
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: talked about this, Sandra. David Lytton is an example of
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: California reponizing the government to protect abortion Planned Parenthood. They're
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: big campaign funder and try to stop pro life speech.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: You know, in this case, it's not going to work.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: It didn't work, and they're not going to silence or
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: intimidate those who want to bring out the truth.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Tell me, we've got about a minute left, Matt, and
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: thank you for the time, but just tell me what
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: you expect moving forward with this specific issue. Now that
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: we have a totally new administration, a new Congress, is
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Planned Parenthood going to get the scrutiny that it should
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: have gotten all along?
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I think Planned parent will get the scrutiny. We
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: had congressional inherents before because of these videos, but it
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: was during the Obama administration there were recommendations to go
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: and investigate and prosecute Planned Parents from the House and
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: the Senate. Now we've got a new sheriff in town, obviously,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: and I think not only will Planned Parenthood be defunded
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: in all their abortion providers, but also more scrutiny and frankly,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I hope justice happens so that Planned Parenthood's butchery. We'll
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: be brought to life, brought to light and ended. And
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I think now we have a great opportunity. Our team
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: in Marshton, DC is certainly working very hard across the
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: nation and certainly with the new administration on these and
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: other issues.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Matt, God bless you and your staff and the team
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: of attorneys representing people across the country. Thank you for
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: what you're doing well.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Scott. Good to be with you.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Matt Staver. And it's LIBERTYCOUNSELLC dot org. I'll
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: just go ahead and say we support it financially, and
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I'd love for you to consider doing the same. This
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: is the I don't know if you heard they won again,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: but there were no awarding of damages to Sandra Merritt
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and David Delighton. So Liberty Counsel did this pro bono
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: because of donations from people like you and me. Forty
• 8:53
