I find it very amusing that this guy got all pissed off saying that David was trying to push an agenda when he himself was pushing his own agenda. Just like a typical fundamentalist conservative, can't stand dissenting opinion because they have no rebuttal to your argument. This guy was even talking over David while he was pushing his agenda not giving David a chance to offer a counter point, he was rude from the get go. I honestly don't know how David has the patience he does with some of the guests he has on, I would have hung up on him long before he quit the interview. David, you have the patience of a saint.
***** Actually, recent scientific studies have shown that there are no health benifits to circumcision (quite the contrary). It's just like how most Baby-Boomers got their tonsils unnecissarily removed durring the 1950s, because "it's normal". It took decades for people to accept the fact that there was no medical evidence that tonsilectomies reduced the risk of illness. But it finally happened; and now that is no longer the custom. I suggest that you watch Penn & Teller's "Bullshit" episode on circumcision.
I'm against abortion personally. It's because of my religious beliefs and the fact that I find it to be immoral. That's my personal belief and feeling on the subject. As a man and a person that believes in the freedoms that make this country great, I don't have the right to tell anyone else that they need to abide by my beliefs or feelings. That would be wrong and unAmerican.
I hope you don't get too much hate for that post because, although I disagree with the first part, the second (and maybe main) point is something that more people need to realize.
Im not a christian and i do do not agree with abortion but with so many political interest in keeping women down and giving more power to the church over a women's body then we will leave abortion before a certain trimester legal and a women's right. I feel when the baby is able to feel pain from is a development of a nervous system is where we should draw the line for a women to have a abortion but in the current irrational climate of politics and special interest im in favor of women to chose deemed by what the courts have stated.
He sees abortion as murder so he feels a deep responsibility to speak for the voiceless. Your "love" for seeing another person become emotive when defending his fellow human beings makes you appear unusually immature.
@@helenaville5939 Well he derailed the interview for three minutes to throw his hissy fit. He promptly became belligerent, so don’t try to make this about his values. The guy was just being a dick.
I don't think that you did anything wrong David. Frankly I think it is the duty of a good interviewer to ask difficult questions. This was hardly a difficult question and was a logical continuation of a statement that HE made. He had the option to answer it calmly and rationally, but instead chose to become aggressive. The question didn't 'sandbag' him, he intentionally sabotaged his own cause through his outrageous, pompous, victimisation-complex agenda. And hats off to you for behaving as collectedly and professionally as you did. I would have ended up rising to his level.
David, I have to say that I have a lot of respect for you as an interviewer. It can't be easy being so polite to someone that you not only disagree with vehemently, but is also so belligerent. How you conducted yourself is incredibly professional.
David, not only did you look like a 12 year-old kid back then, but were a professional & concise host. You did your job superbly, that's why I'm a subscriber to your channel.
Like any free-thinking human being, the very idea of abortion strikes at the center of my conscience. I have never found myself in a position where that could have been a question that had to be made. I am not of a gender that would have to deal with the actual physical aspect of such. The only thing I find of greater importance is the right of a woman to make that decision. The horror stories around the need to make that decision are legion. Forcing a woman, or often times a girl, to have to carry a child conceived by evil and ugly means is repugnant to the extreme. But that is the reality of banning abortions. The best thing about Planned Parenthood is that because of them, there is no need for an abortion to be discussed. It is the lack of education and 'planning' that this question becomes necessary.
Sean Whittle If you would, sir, what do you mean by, "The best thing about Planned Parenthood is that because of them, there is no need for an abortion to be discussed. It is the lack of education and 'planning' that this question becomes necessary."It feels counter to your prior statements that some women may need an abortion due to "evil and ugly means" causing conceptions. I also would note that you can heavily plan, by means of vasectomy and birth control, and still conceive. It's rare, but it does occur. Not that I am implying that Planned Parenthood is useless, I'm just saying it's not always because of a lack of education, rape, or inability to take preventative measures, that an abortion is necessary.
HUMC4L So how does that change the fact that instructions on how to perform an abortion is in the bible? The reason for the abortion doesn't matter. An abortion is still an abortion and how to perform one is in the bible.
Carol McKee Respectful? Carol, you don't know what real respect means. I will pray for you and ask that the Lord remove your stony heart and give you a new heart to serve him. You can't help that you are blind to the enemy. You're trapped like a rat with no way out.
He overreacted. You conducted your part of the interview in a very professional manner and asked follow up questions that related to the topic. He just didn't like looking like the bad guy to the audience and felt intimidated so he just chose the easy way out. He was the one to bring up his business as an alternative and he played the victim... he must be a special kind of stupid.
This was essentially all Slattery's fault. When he entered an interview with a journalist, he should have been prepared for tough questions that had any basic relevance to the issue. It wouldn't have been fair to ask him "if he liked to wear women's clothing," or something like that, but a question about pregnancy centers is perfectly valid in a discussion about abortion. He appeared to just want to pontificate on why his agenda was a great idea, which is the subject matter for an infomercial, not an interview. When you asked him a basic question about his alternative women's care solution, he strawmanned that you were accusing his company of providing NO medical services, when actually you were just asking about this one particular medical service. I think it was more a case of him misunderstanding the question than of him hanging up because he didn't want to try to defend his position, but he should have been prepared for that question, and should have keep talking until there was clarity on the issue, rather than simply hanging up on you. And you should have tried to clarify what you specifically meant by the question, but he hung up before you could, so that's pretty much on him also.
If you oppose abortion in all cases, what about this case: a 9 year old girl raped by her step-father who became pregnant with twins. She couldn't physically carry twins to term. She had an abortion. What alternatives were there?
Personally, I think abortion should be only legal for rape victims and people who for one reason or another will die or be severely injured due to the pregnancy. Anyone else (at least for the most part) made a decision to have unprotected sex and ended up pregnant because of it. They shouldn't have the right to kill the baby. If they can't take care of it, they can put it up for adoption.
JakvsMetalheads999 If they don't want the baby and are irresponsible, why should they be trusted to safely take the baby to term? Should they also be monitored for alcohol, drug, nicotine use?
Ashamed US Eagle 13,000 is a lot of people for you to push your morals on, based on ancient books, without knowing each and every situation. It's got nothing to do with you anyway, you can't dictate. What gives you that right? If you were in that tragic situation, you have no idea what decisions you might have to make, for many reasons.
Not that im surprised at the ending of this interview but the clown who couldn't take the heat was right there, are more individuals in our current administration that align there thinking with him then any other time in recent history. I find it incredible that another example of this administration wanting to dissolve organizations citing cost and morality isn't challenged. When I say challenged I don't mean continuously debating them I mean why not ask what there proposing instead or in place of ? Again here a scenario where the conservatives would rather no questions be asked about the replacement and the deception doesn't end there. Use ur brain the only goal for a place like EMC is to postpone a abortion there can't be many other courses of options considering there not licensed
He was projecting. He expected to rant his talking points freely without question and about how PP is "evil", and he acted like a big baby when asked tough questions that exposed his fake clinic.
There's no reason for anyone to get that upset about being questioned on their position unless they're intentionally being dishonest. He was full of shit and he knows it. He's just not used to the pushback and David threw him off his script. He's used to being surrounded by people who agree with him all the time.
What a difference time can make. when this interview originally happened, the guy seems like a lunatic. now he seems like, the people in charge of our fucking country, we are all doomed.
Stupid. Dude should have said "no, we're not a licensed medical facility, but we partner closely with a number of licensed medical facilities to make sure women get the care they need. We're a referral organization that helps women make good decisions about their health and follow through with those decisions." I came up with that in about 30 seconds. If this yoyo can't do as well, he shouldn't be doing interviews.
I find it very amusing that this guy got all pissed off saying that David was trying to push an agenda when he himself was pushing his own agenda.

NobodyNowhereKnowhow
I think David hit a nerve!
Against Abortion?
Then don't have one.
That response basically says I don't take a stand for anything unless it affects me personally, which is rather selfish and self serving.
until your mistress gets pregnant... then you force her to get one against her will.
*****

But how would I get the satisfaction of dictating how others, especially womenfolk, live their lives??
I don't think your questions crossed any lines. He did what cowards do - run.

JSwitchbladeBand I'm not sure you actually read his post.
I can 100% respect that.

Slattery hanging up is his way of putting his fingers in his ears and going "La la la la la la! I can't hear you! La la la la la!"
That was not an interview, that was just him trying to use the show as a means to push his 'pro-life' agenda.
Dyvim Tvar I find the term "Pro-birthers" to be more fitting.
Love how the jagoff starts shouting when challenged.
He sees abortion as murder so he feels a deep responsibility to speak for the voiceless. Your "love" for seeing another person become emotive when defending his fellow human beings makes you appear unusually immature.

Proof the terms 'pro-life' & 'dumbass' are interchangeable.
He could not explain his idiocy and did not want to be shown up as the fool he is!
When some people hear "Planned Parenthood" they think abortion but they offer so much more services that help so many people.
And I know people who have been to these places.

Fun Fact: Abortion is in the Bible. With instructions on how to have one.
You forgot to tell us the verse from the Bible. Is that because it doesn't exist?
Camille Lake It's the recommendation if your wife cheats on you

So how does that change the fact that instructions on how to perform an abortion is in the bible? The reason for the abortion doesn't matter. An abortion is still an abortion and how to perform one is in the bible.

I used to have to go to PP for my annual women's exam. I live in Texas and now they're shut down. Thanks a lot Trump/right-wing/republicans.
Great interview. The guy is a joke.
nothing wrong with the line of questioning but I think you scared him off when you got a trifle aggressive in tone at about 7:00
Never apologize for giving a tough interview. These people have been telling lies long enough without challenge.
David that was awesome, your questions were definitely valid. It was his own choice to rage quit, it's not your fault.
Our Congress is supposed to be "our people, just elected." It is not.
The problem is we no longer have a representative democracy.

BEAUTIFUL interview!!
that was an amazing interview. the thing is with people like him, they can't handle other angles and truths.
He was projecting. He expected to rant his talking points freely without question and about how PP is "evil", and he acted like a big baby when asked tough questions that exposed his fake clinic.
Maybe you could have still made a non-apology to have the guest-booker on your side. It's just 10 minutes.
Bring back Louis!
'I don't like those figures, so it mustn't be true!'
Nothing like watching a guy getting pissed when he gets his ass kicked.....
That was epic.
There's no reason for anyone to get that upset about being questioned on their position unless they're intentionally being dishonest. He was full of shit and he knows it. He's just not used to the pushback and David threw him off his script. He's used to being surrounded by people who agree with him all the time.
Why were you feeling nauseous while reading the guest booker's response?
You did that right thing by calling out his bullshit reasons for his hatred.
RE: Chris Slattery *does angry cat sound* "RREEEEEeeeERR!! pfft pfft"
This guy just wants money. These people don't have any morals. He wants to edge out the competition...
Lovely interview. LOL
Whoa, Luis is an atrocious dresser haha
Aww, I miss Louis... ✌🏼
What a difference time can make. when this interview originally happened, the guy seems like a lunatic. now he seems like, the people in charge of our fucking country, we are all doomed.
Im very against abortion, but wtf just happened
Be honest about the services u provide.
Stupid. Dude should have said "no, we're not a licensed medical facility, but we partner closely with a number of licensed medical facilities to make sure women get the care they need.
