<p>On Tuesday, pro-life journalist <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/california-finally-drops-prosecution-of-journo-who-exposed-planned-parenthood-with-damning-videos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Daleiden</a> gave his first interview since California stopped prosecuting him to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/the-michael-knowles-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Wire host Michael Knowles</a>.</p>
<p>Daleiden, the president of the Center for Medical Progress, was initially prosecuted nine years ago along with fellow journalist Sandra Merritt over undercover videos showing Planned Parenthood officials discussing the sale of aborted baby parts and organs, which is illegal. The prosecution was sparked by then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris, who was <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/08/02/us-news/kamala-harris-accused-of-weaponizing-calif-ags-office-against-activist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused</a> of weaponizing her office to bolster a “mega-sponsor” in Planned Parenthood.</p>
<p>Knowles, who&#8217;s been friends with Daleiden for years, recapped the case for his audience by underscoring how explosive the journalists&#8217; undercover videos were, and how corrupt the prosecution was from start to finish.</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s been prosecuted, because he had the temerity to film Planned Parenthood executives admitting their crimes on camera,&#8221; Knowles said on &#8220;The Michael Knowles Show.&#8221; These officials admitted &#8220;on camera that they violated the law by selling baby body parts to the highest bidder.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So what happened? Did the authorities prosecute the abortionists who were selling human body parts of little babies?&#8221; Knowles continued. &#8220;No, of course not. They prosecuted David, because he spilled the beans on this major crime.&#8221;</p>
<p>Daleiden told Knowles that it was Harris who chose to &#8220;go after the whistleblowers&#8221; instead of investigating the &#8220;taxpayer-funded abortion mega clinics across her state that were caught on camera selling aborted baby body parts from criminal late-term abortions.&#8221;</p>
<p>The journalist called the prosecution &#8220;unprecedented,&#8221; and noted that no other journalists have ever been prosecuted under the California video recording law.</p>
<p>Daleiden also pushed back against what Attorney General Rob Bonta&#8217;s office has said about the case. In a press release Tuesday, the office celebrated the plea deal as a win for &#8220;reproductive health clinics and providers.&#8221;</p>
<p>In court, however, Daleiden said the government agreed to have the entire case &#8220;dismissed and expunged&#8221; with &#8220;no admission of wrongdoing&#8221; from the journalists. &#8220;The AG&#8217;s office basically stated on the record in court yesterday that they&#8217;re dropping the case, they&#8217;re just doing it in slow motion — so it&#8217;s sort of a fig leaf for them,&#8221; he explained.</p>
<p>Knowles asked Daleiden if he thought President Donald Trump&#8217;s 2024 victory and actions in office over the last week played into the state dropping the case.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think it probably changes everything,&#8221; Daleiden said. The promotion of Harris to the highest office in the land, had she won, would have incentivized more of the same behavior, he added.</p>
<p>Daleiden also stated that there&#8217;s more work to be done, namely making sure the federal government stops funding Planned Parenthood. &#8220;That&#8217;s the next thing that we should see happen,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We need to stop propping up the nearly <a href="https://www.blackburn.senate.gov/2023/12/news/new-report-reveals-nearly-2-billion-funneled-to-big-abortion-providers#:~:text=WASHINGTON%2C%20D.C.%20–%20A%20new%20U.S.,abortion%2Don%2Ddemand%20agenda.">$2 billion</a> taxpayer funded illegal Planned Parenthood late-term abortion businesses.&#8221;</p>
