Summary
Even pro-life critics of Donald Trump credit him with appointing three Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v Wade. But now Trump is calling further restrictions to abortion a “terrible thing.” Why are pro-life conservatives still overwhelming supporting the ex-President? David French discusses the shifting politics of the pro-life movement, the risk of aligning with Trump, and why abortions are on the rise after overturning Roe. Plus, data shows most Americans have always been ignorant about how their own government is structured and works, so why is civic ignorance now more dangerous than before? French says it’s because the civic ignorance of the citizens has now infected our government leaders as well, and these elites no longer police themselves or defend institutional norms.

| 0:00.0 | Yes. What day it is. Oh, it's French Friday. It's French Friday. So grab your prize and say, |
| 0:08.1 | array, date of French is here to play on French Friday. It's French Friday. |
| 0:17.2 | David, welcome back to the Holy Post. Well, thanks so much for having me back. I always |
| 0:21.3 | enjoy these conversations. As do I. Okay. A couple months ago, I think it was, gosh, |
| 0:28.4 | maybe February, we talked about abortion and we talked about a rebuttal to the abortion |
| 0:35.1 | abolitionists. So for people who can go back and listen to it. And normally I wouldn't |
| 0:39.2 | bring up the same topic so soon, but it's a huge topic right now. Ever since the end of |
| 0:44.8 | Roe v. Wade with the Dobbs decision last year, things are moving quickly on the abortion |
| 0:49.7 | front. And the thing that triggered this conversation in my mind was Donald Trump was recently |
| 0:55.5 | interviewed by Meet the Press. And he in that interview, riled up people because he |
| 1:02.1 | basically said the Republicans are making a huge mistake in their approach to the post |
| 1:06.5 | Dobbs abortion political landscape. He said that calling for six week abortion bans |
| 1:12.7 | was quote unquote terrible. And that he would figure out a compromise position and basically |
| 1:18.3 | settle this issue for everyone forever. So before we get into the weeds here and talk about |
| 1:23.2 | other dynamics that are happening in the post Dobbs world, your response to the Trump |
| 1:28.6 | comments. And either morally or politically, what do you think is the fallout here? Yeah. |
| 1:35.3 | Boy, that's a rich topics guy. But first can I just notice he's going to be really busy |
| 1:40.2 | because he's already said he can settle the Ukraine war in 24 hours. And then he's going |
| 1:44.8 | to settle the most hot button culture war topic of the last 50 years, lickety split. When |
| 1:50.5 | he never did it before. But I guess that's why you got to vote for him again, Sky, just |
| 1:56.3 | watch that magic happen. Art of the deal. Art of the deal. So this is a really rich topic |
| 2:03.1 | on it for a couple of reasons. One, Trump is putting his finger on a political reality |
