Harris seized evidence of abortionists' lucrative butchery of babies. Activist reveals who helped him fight back.



Pro-life citizen journalist and Center for Medical Progress founder David Daleiden published undercover videos in 2015 showing Planned Parenthood officials callously talking about butchering, playing with, and trafficking baby parts.

Then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris, whose various campaigns have netted substantial contributions from Planned Parenthood, evidently could not tolerate this exposé of the abortion regime's apparently lucrative and unlawful repurposing of victims' remains.

After allegedly meeting with executives from the abortion organization, Harris targeted Daleiden and authorized a raid on his home, kicking off what would become a years-long effort to punish the pro-life activist and to hide his damning evidence from the American people.

Daleiden, who still faces eight felony charges, revealed Wednesday to "Blaze New Tonight" who in Washington, D.C., helped him surmount the Democratic suppression campaign and ultimately publish the videos for the edification of the American public: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and other Republican elements of the House Oversight Committee.

"Big shout-out goes to ... the House Oversight Committee and especially Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene for finally being able to release this footage unredacted, in full, which was subpoenaed by Congress during their initial investigations in 2015," said Daleiden.

'You can see exactly what they were so afraid of the public being able to see for themselves.'

Greene announced on July 30 that she was releasing the full versions of the undercover videos, which were previously featured at a March congressional hearing titled "Investigating the Black Market of Baby Organ Harvesting."

During the March hearing, Greene expressed concern that the abortion regime operates with little to no federal or independent oversight, meaning it can engage in the types of conduct alluded to in the undercover videos.

Blaze News reached out to Greene's office for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

Daleiden further explained to "Blaze News Tonight" that thanks in part to Greene and in large part to the perseverance of his team, "the cover-up plan by Planned Parenthood and Kamala Harris has not been totally successful. They tried to bury these facts and this evidence for the past eight years, but it's all starting to come out, and you can see exactly what they were so afraid of the public being able to see for themselves."

The videos

The Center for Medical Progress posted a video on July 14, 2015, showing a senior director of medical services at Planned Parenthood, Deborah Nucatola, state between sips of wine, "We've been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, 'I'm not gonna crush that part, I'm gonna basically crush below, I'm gonna crush above, and I'm gonna see if I can get it all intact.'"

"I'd say a lot of people want liver. And for that reason, most providers will do this case under ultrasound guidance, so they'll know where they're putting their forceps," continued Nucatola. "The kind of rate-limiting step of the procedure is calvarium. Calvarium — the head — is basically the biggest part."

Nucatola, who was later reprimanded but ultimately faced no actual consequence, indicated further that body parts could run interested parties anywhere from $30 to $100 per specimen.

It soon became clear that this would be nowhere near the CMP's most provocative undercover video.

'Oh, there's some lungs, there's some kidneys.'

An undercover reporter from the CMP recorded conversations at the National Abortion Federation's commercial trade show posing as a laboratory wholesaler. The reporter spoke with Ann Schutt-Aine, then chief medical officer of Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, as well as with the branch's vice president of abortion access, Tram Nguyen.

"I'm like, 'Yeah, I have a leg for you.' I'm like, 'Oh s**t, if other people were to hear me, they'd like, "You are f****** evil,"'" Nguyen says in the video. "You have to come and play with our tissue and see if it's cool enough for you."

Responding to the reporter's suggestion that there is competition for baby organs that are "more profitable," Schutt-Aine says, "You told me about the proposition, and so now every time I do a [dilation and extraction], I'm like, 'Oh, there's some lungs, there's some kidneys.'"

"If I can't get [the baby] out intact, I can still get you a good sample," Schutt-Aine boasted, adding that she can cannibalize livers and lungs for buyers "without much difficulty at all."

Rather than address the possible criminality raised in the videos, Kamala Harris and other Democratic officials have targeted the group that brought it to light.

The lawfare

"As California attorney general, Kamala Harris had a choice," Daleiden told "Blaze News Tonight." "When our reporting was first being released in the summer of 2015 showing Planned Parenthood's top-level leadership callously negotiating the harvesting and sale of aborted baby body parts from late-term, partial-birth abortions, Kamala Harris could have chosen to investigate Planned Parenthood and investigate the taxpayer-funded Planned Parenthood mega centers."

Daleiden indicated that Harris instead decided to investigate him and his undercover team.

Following the initial release of the footage, then-California AG Harris said she would look into whether the pro-life activist broke laws when exposing Planned Parenthood. Daleiden's house was reportedly raided, and his computer and hard drives were seized. She was cheered on by the abortion outfit and other activists.

"David Daleiden engaged in an elaborate criminal conspiracy to deceive the public and ban abortion in this country, and now he’s paying the price," a Planned Parenthood spokeswoman told Politico following the raid. "The only people who engaged in wrongdoing are the extremists who broke multiple laws to spread lies about Planned Parenthood — and it looks like they're finally being held accountable."

'What Kamala Harris did was unconstitutional and vindictive.'

Daleiden was slapped with multiple lawsuits and a raft of criminal charges, including those brought by Harris' replacement and future Health Secretary Xavier Becerra. Emails obtained by the Washington Times revealed that Harris' office also collaborated with Planned Parenthood to draft legislation effectively targeting Daleiden — to amend the law to criminalize the secret recording and dissemination of communications with health care providers.

The late legal scholar Ronald D. Rotunda noted at the time the correspondence between Harris' office and the abortion outfit made abundantly clear that the Democratic AG is a "tool of Planned Parenthood" and that she was "working with Planned Parenthood to protect it from criminal prosecution."

"The state attorney general is supposed to represent the people of California, not a particular industry in California," Mr. Rotunda told the Times. "What would people say if the attorney general would be working with the local slaughterhouses to help them cover up instances of cruelty to animals?"

Former Los Angeles District Attorney Steve Cooley, who has represented Daleiden, recently told the New York Post, "What Kamala Harris did was unconstitutional and vindictive."

"Kamala Harris opened this investigation at the behest of Planned Parenthood, and the two AGs that followed her have kept it alive," added Cooley.

The Post indicated that neither Harris' office nor the California Attorney General's Office responded to their requests for comment.

"There has been a lot of twists and turns with the lawfare over the year that really was engineered by Planned Parenthood and Kamala Harris," Daleiden told "Blaze News Tonight." "They are the first ones who started to use this really unprecedented kind of lawfare to try to suppress free speech."

Now, however, the cat is out of the bag.

Daleiden stated last week, "Planned Parenthood repeatedly told Congress, the courts, and the public that it had 'rebuffed' any opportunity to sell aborted baby body parts in Texas."

"This finally-released undercover footage shows that in reality, Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast was ghoulishly eager to rip healthy babies out of vulnerable patients whole and alive and mutilate their bodies after to sell body parts for top dollar," added Daleiden.

Utah AG Apologizes To Alleged Victims Of Anti-Human Trafficking Advocate, Will Not Seek Re-Election

'I wanted to be clear: I will serve my current term as AG throughout 2024 but will not be running for re-election'

'He died as a hero': Families begin opening up about Maine massacre victims, including those who went down fighting



A gunman opened fire in a bowling alley and a bar in Lewiston, Maine, Wednesday evening, slaughtering 18 people and grievously wounding 13 others. While authorities have waited to identify the victims, some family members have already begun to do so.

In addition to the names of the victims, stories of their heroism and defiance in the face of evil have begun to emerge.

Eight people were killed at Schemengees Bar and Grille, according to the Maine State Police. Among them was bar manager Joseph Walker.

Walker's dad, Leroy Walker, an Auburn city councilor, shared with NBC Nightly News what state police told his daughter-in-law, Tracey Walker, about the shooting.

The visibly devastated father indicated that after MSP told Joseph Walker's widow that he had been slain, they "went into telling her that he died as a hero because he picked up a butcher knife from somewhere — he has all that stuff near the bar anyways. And he tried to go at the gunman to stop him from shooting anybody else. The gunman shot him twice through the stomach."

NBC News' Lester Holt pressed the councilor on whether the knowledge that his son went down fighting changed his pain at all.

Leroy Walker answered, "Oh. ... It made it worse. Yeah, it made it worse."

The Station Grill Restaurant, where Joseph Walker was also a manager, noted in a Meta post, "For those of you that don't know Joe. Let me tell you, this man would give the shirt off his back to help a total stranger. But last night he gave up more than that, he gave up his life."

"Somehow Joe made it to the kitchen. Most of you might not realize this but there is a door that he could have exited and saved his own life but not Joe. He grabbed a knife and went back out into danger to try and stop the shooter," said the Station Grill. "When I heard this, I was so upset but not surprised. I can ask myself 100 times. Why not leave Joe. Please take the door and you would be here. Joe would tell me that he would have to stop the shooter. That's Joseph Walker, the man that I know. Putting everyone first. He will alway be our hero."

Leroy Walker told MSNBC that it was not until 14 hours after the shooting that his family discovered his son's fate.

"None of us slept. We were up all night," said Walker. "We didn't know where to go, who to run to. They didn't notify any of us."

Finally, Walker's youngest son called him with the news.

"I almost fell to my knees," said the councilor. "I said, 'Don't tell me that.'"

Walker indicated his family is now "suffering and dying in a nightmare we don't understand," having lost "a great, great son, a loving husband."

"He had two grandchildren and a stepson," added Walker. "Thousands of people loved him. ... What are we gonna do tomorrow, the next day? How are we gonna handle this?"

Tricia Asselin, 53, was among the seven people slain at Just-In-Time Recreation in Lewiston. Although a part-time employee at the establishment, Asselin had the night off and was bowling with her sister Bobbi Nichols when the carnage began.

Nichols, who survived the massacre, told CNN, "We heard a loud noise and I wasn't sure what it was until I heard another shot and then I knew."

People began scrambling to escape the bowling alley amid the crackle of gunfire. In the chaos, Nichols said, "I couldn't see [Asselin] and everybody was running, and I got caught in people trampling."

Nichols indicated that after making it outside, "We just kept running and running and running. ... And it was dark out."

"I just ran as far as I could go until there was a fence and there were some trees and a bunch of us were hiding behind the trees wondering what was going on," said Nicholas.

Hours after police escorted the survivors out of the murky woods, Nichols said that "somebody came out and said that she called 911, and when she called 911 to save everybody, she lost her life because of it."

The New York Post reported that Asselin was a mother who worked three jobs.

"My sister's a hero," said Nichols. "She was a hero."

Asselin's brother DJ Johnson said, "If she there was an argument going on, she would be the one to calm everyone down. ... If somebody was having a bad day, she would be right on the phone to talk to you about it."

Upon learning Asselin had tried to call for help, Johnson said, "That was just her. She wasn't going to run. She was going to try and help."

Besides a tragic end, it appears many of the victims shared bravery in common.

Michael Deslauriers Sr. noted that his son, Michael Deslauriers II, was with "his dearest friend," Jason Walker, when they were "murdered last night at the bowling alley."

Deslauriers Sr. said that "they made sure their wives and several young children were under cover then they charged the shooter."

Also among the victims who have so far been identified:

  • 76-year-old retiree and well-loved volunteer bowling coach Bob Violette;
  • Peyton Brewer-Ross, a 40-year-old pipefitter and new father remembered for his good nature and sense of humor;
  • 44-year-old Bill Young and his 14-year-old son Aaron Young;
  • Bryan McFarlane, a dog-loving truck driver who had been participating in a deaf cornhole tournament at the bar;
  • 34-year-old Tommy Conrad, a manager at the bowling alley, who leaves behind a 9-year-old daughter;
  • Joshua Seal, a young father of four and an American Sign Language interpreter for the Pine Tree Society;
  • Ron Morin, remembered as "an upstanding man with a lot of joy in his heart," reported the Independent;
  • 42-year-old Arthur Strout, a father of five; and
  • Bill Brackett and Steve Vozzella, both of whom had been attending the deaf cornhole game.

Gas THIEVES target gas stations and individual vehicles



Americans are painfully aware of how far thieves go to avoid legit employment and still make a few bucks. Many, myself included, have fallen victim to the catalytic converters thieves. But now, a new trend is popping up across the country - gas thieves.

Friday, in Fort Worth, Texas, KDFW reported that thieves driving a box truck outfitted with an extra tank in the bed stole 1,500 gallons of diesel fuel from a Chevron gas station, valued at $5,000.

KABC out of Los Angeles reported back in March 2022 that thieves were targeting gas stations and individual vehicles.

Imagine walking out to your car after a long day at work only to realize your vehicle is mysteriously out of gas. Then, adding insult to injury, you add the gallon of gas from your trusty gas station and notice the gas you just paid way too much for is leaking onto the pavement beneath your vehicle. Why? Because someone decided to drill a hole in your gas tank and steal your fuel.

Victims are left with a bill of approximately $1,000 to replace their gas tank, in addition to the devastating price at the pump.


GAS THIEVES: As gas prices continue to climb, thieves are turning to steal gas through a variety of ways that include targeting gas stations or individual vehicles. ⛽😖 https://t.co/XWmO4djTAe pic.twitter.com/3oHxvpBkHm

Judge in Kyle Rittenhouse case rules that men he fatally shot and wounded can't be called 'victims' — but defense can call them 'rioters' and 'looters'



The judge presiding over the Kyle Rittenhouse homicide trial ruled Monday that the prosecution can't refer two men he fatally shot — and another man he wounded — as "victims," the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported.

What's more, the paper said, Kenosha County Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder added that Rittenhouse's attorneys can refer to the three shot men as "rioters" and "looters."

What are the details?

The decision on courtroom semantics stems from Schroeder's "standard rule," the Journal-Sentinel said, as he prohibits use of the term "victim" until someone is convicted of a crime, which hasn't happened yet.

Rittenhouse, 18, was charged with homicide and attempted homicide after he fatally shot Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and wounded Gaige Grosskreutz in Kenosha, Wisconsin, NBC News said.

Rittenhouse — who was 17 on the night of the Aug. 25, 2020, shootings — is from Illinois and was in Kenosha to defend businesses from looting and arson amid rioting over the shooting of Jacob Blake, a black man, by a white police officer. Rittenhouse pleaded not guilty to the charges against him and said he acted in self-defense.

"I feel I had to protect myself," Rittenhouse said last fall during an interview from a juvenile detention center. "I would have died that night if I didn't."

Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger wanted Rittenhouse's lawyers barred from calling the Rosenbaum, Huber, and Grosskreutz "looters, rioters, arsonists or any other pejorative term," the Journal-Sentinel said.

More from the paper:

While looting, rioting and arson occurred in the two nights before the shooting, Binger argued that unless there's specific proof Rosenbaum, Huber and Grosskreutz were engaged in any of those actions, and that Rittenhouse had seen it, the labels are even more "loaded" than what judge ascribes to "victim."

Schroeder was not swayed. "Let the evidence show what it shows," he said, and declined to prohibit the defense from using the state's unwanted terms.

Not surprisingly, CNN talking heads were decidedly unhappy with the judge's ruling:

Judge says men Kyle Rittenhouse killed shouldn't be called 'victims'youtu.be

What the left will likely ignore

As TheBlaze reported last year, video recorded on the night of the shootings allegedly caught Rosenbaum antagonizing a gun-carrying group in town to defend property, glaring at them, and daring them to "shoot me!"

He even uttered the N-word as black people were feet away. (Content warning: Language, racial slurs):

In addition, video allegedly shows Rosenbaum — who apparently removed his red T-shirt to use as a head covering — chasing after a male armed with a rifle. Rosenbaum then allegedly throws a bag of tools at the guy with the gun and then lunges at him, after which the individual with the gun opens fire.

Rosenbaum was then seen in a graphic clip of the shooting aftermath dying in the street and wearing the same capri-length jeans, white sneakers with white socks, and tan belt as he's wearing in the video of him confronting militia members.

Anything else?

NBC News reported that Grosskreutz — who has not been charged with a crime — sued the city, the county, and law enforcement this month for enabling a "band of white nationalist vigilantes" amid unrest following Blake's shooting.

While a spokesperson representing Kenosha and its police department declined to comment, the network said that an attorney representing Kenosha County and the sheriff called Grosskreutz's allegations false.

"The lawsuit also fails to acknowledge that Mr. Grosskreutz was himself armed with a firearm when he was shot, and Mr. Grosskreutz failed to file the lawsuit against the person who actually shot him," attorney Sam Hall said, according to NBC News.

Indeed, Grosskreutz allegedly told a friend that he regretted "not killing the kid" who shot him at close range — and tore off a chunk of his arm — and "emptying the entire mag."

Here's a clip showing both Huber and Grosskreutz getting shot shortly after Rosenbaum was shot. (Content warning: Language):

Death toll from West Coast wildfires reaches 7



At least seven people have lost their lives in the devastating wildfires that continue to rage in several Western U.S. states, with reports of victims coming from California, Oregon and Washington.

What are the details?

The first reported death was out of Washington on Wednesday, where a 1-year-old boy died and his parents were severely burned as the family fled wildfires in the northern part of the state. The mother and father were hospitalized for their injuries.

Three people have been killed by the fires in Oregon. The Oregonian reported that a 13-year-old boy, Wyatt Tofte, and his grandmother, Peggy Mosso, were the first fatalities in the state. CBS News reported that Wyatt fled as a fire approached his home on Tuesday night, and his body was later found inside a vehicle along with the remains of his dog. The boy's mother was hospitalized and remains in critical condition.

The third victim in Oregon was found on Thursday in the southern part of the state from a fire that is now being investigated as arson. That person's identity has not been made public.

Another three people were found dead in Butte County, California, according to Mercury News. One of them was discovered late Wednesday morning, and authorities believe the individual was overcome by flames after fleeing their vehicle. Another two victims were found together in a separate area, but they have not been identified positively according to Sheriff Kory Honea.

"Time and again we have seen how dangerous wildfires can be," Honea said during a press conference. "So I ask that you please, please, please be prepared, maintain situational awareness and heed the warnings."

The The New York Times noted that "California's wildfire season is already the most severe in modern history, measured by acres burned." The outlet reported, "More than 2.5 million acres of land have burned in the state this year, nearly 20 times what had burned at this time last year."

The Associate Press reported that since mid-August in California, "fires have killed 12 people, destroyed more than 3,600 buildings, burned old growth redwoods, charred chaparral and forced evacuations in communities near the coast, in wine country north of San Francisco and along the Sierra Nevada."

Tens of thousands of people have been ordered to evacuate their homes in recent days to escape the West Coast fires that have been called "unprecedented" as high winds fan the flames amid drought conditions.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) expressed some cautious optimism on Thursday, saying a "We're encouraged that the wind activity appears to be dying down. The rest of the week looks a little more favorable."

Crowder's latest 'Change my Mind' features shocking story of legal immigrant fearful of illegal immigrant crime

In the latest video in CRTV host Steven Crowder's popular "Change My Mind" series, Crowder takes on border security, asking people to sit down for a conversation and change his mind about immigration reform and building a border wall.

"We didn't get many sit-down interviews in this one; we got a lot of drive-by yellings," he says, including one person telling him to "build the wall with your a**."

But one individual who sat down with Crowder had an amazing story to tell. She says she is a Mexican-American immigrant, and while she told him she doesn't support the wall, she did explain her fear of illegal immigrants committing crimes in her neighborhood. Her face was blurred for her safety.

"I know a lot of people that are, like, um, are criminals!" she said, adding that they haven't been deported. She even asked Crowder how she can report these people to the authorities.

Crowder spoke with her further off-camera. "It breaks your heart, it really does," he says. "Keep in mind, this lady was a legal immigrant subdued into fear by illegal immigrants in her neighborhood."

Crowder says her story shows how the liberal narrative on sanctuary cities can hurt people.

"The fake victim culture creates real victims, usually the ones following the rules," Crowder says.
