>> Kayleigh: NEW DEVELOPMENTS
IN A STORY THAT GAINED NATIONAL
ATTENTION SINCE SUPREME COURT
OVERTURN ROE V. WADE.
BUT IT IS NOW UNDER SERIOUS
SCRUTINY.
IT IS THE HORRIFIC STORY OF A
10-YEAR-OLD RAPE VICTIM WITH
ALLEGEDLY FORCED TO TRAVEL
ACROSS STATE LINES FROM OHIO TO
INDIANA TO OBTAIN AN ABORTION.
IT FIRST APPEARED IN THE
INDIANAPOLIS STAR ON JULY 1ST.
AND IT CITES A SINGLE SOURCE.
A DOCTOR, DR. CAITLIN BERNARD IN
INDIANAPOLIS OBSTETRICIAN
GYNECOLOGIST TOOK A FALL FROM A
COLLEAGUE, A DOCTOR IN OHIO AND
OUT THIS DOCTOR HAD A
10-YEAR-OLD PATIENT IN THE
OFFICE WHO WAS SIX WEEKS AND
THREE DAYS PREGNANT.
CAN BERNARD HELP?
INDIANA LAWMAKERS POISED TO
FURTHER RESTRICT OR BAN ABORTION
IN NEAR WEEKS BUT FOR NOW, THE
PROCEDURE IS STILL LEGAL HERE.
AND THE GIRL SOON WAS ON HER WAY
TO INDIANA TO BERNARD’S CARE.
OUTRAGE SWEPT ACROSS MEDIA
OUTLETS.
>> IT IS HARD TO IMAGINE
ANYTHING MORE DISTURBING THAN
FORCING A CHILD, A 10-YEAR-OLD
STILL PLAYING WITH TOYS AND
TABLETS TO CARRY HER FATHER OR
HER BROTHER’S CHILD TO TERM.
FORCING HER TO TRAVEL ACROSS
STATE LINES FOR AN ABORTION.
AND YET, HERE WE ARE.
>> OHIO HAS OUTBOARD ABORTION
SIX WEEKS OF THE CHILD WILL HAVE
TO TRAVEL TO INDIANA TO GET THE
PROCEDURE.
IN THIS CASE, PUTTING IT
SPOTLIGHT ON AMERICA POST
ROE V. WADE.
>> A 10-YEAR-OLD RAPE VICTIM,
THAT IS A CHILD!
>> Kayleigh: REMEMBER, THIS
WAS BASED ON A SINGLE POOR SPEAR
THAN PRESIDENT BIDEN, HE PUSHED
THE STORY ON FRIDAY AS HE RAGED
AGAINST OHIO’S RESTRICTIVE
ABORTION LAW WITHOUT SEEKING ANY
EVIDENCE THAT THE STORY WAS EVEN
TRUE.
>> THIS IS AN IMAGINED WAR THAT
IS ALREADY HAPPENING.
JUST LAST WEEK, REPORTED THAT A
10-YEAR-OLD GIRL WAS A
RAPE VICTIM, TEN YEARS OLD!
AND SHE WAS FORCED TO TRAVEL OUT
OF THE STATE TO INDIANA TO SEEK
TO TERMINATE THE PREGNANCY.
IMAGINE BEING THAT LITTLE GIRL,
I’M SERIOUS, IMAGINE BEING THAT
LITTLE GIRL, TEN YEARS OLD!
>> Kayleigh: NOW OHIO’S
ATTORNEY GENERAL DAVID SAID HE
HASN’T HEARD A SINGLE THING
ABOUT THE CASE.
>> WE HAVE REGULAR CONTACT WITH
PROSECUTORS AND LOCAL POLICE AND
SHERIFFS AND NOT A WHISPER
ANYWHERE.
MY OFFICE RUNS THE STATE CRIME
LAB.
IN A CASE LIKE THIS YOU ARE
GOING TO HAVE A RAPE KIT,
BIOLOGICAL EVIDENCE, AND YOU
WOULD BE LOOKING FOR DNA PEER
THERE IS NO CASE REQUEST FOR
ANALYSIS THAT LOOKS ANYTHING LIK
>> Kayleigh: SO KELLYANNE,
"THE WASHINGTON POST"
FACT-CHECKED OR WOKE UP FROM HIS
SLUMBER AND DECIDED TO CHECK
THIS ONE.
UNDER OHIO LAW PHYSICIAN AS A
MANDATED REPORTER AND OHIO
GUIDE, IT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO
REPORT ANY CASE OF SUSPECTED
PHYSICAL OR EMOTIONAL ABUSE OF A
CHILD.
THEY CONTACTED THE SERVICE
AGENCY ACROSS OHIO, NOTHING,
ATTORNEY GENERAL, NOTHING.
>> I CERTAINLY HOPE THIS IS NOT
TRUE BECAUSE THE IDEA IT IS
HORRIFYING TO EACH AND EVERY
ONE OF US AND THAT IS
COMPLETELY NONPARTISAN, LEAF.
AT THE SAME TIME, THIS WOMAN,
THIS ONE DOCTOR WHO IS KIND OF
LIKE A PENDANT, ALWAYS AVAILABLE
FOR A QUOTE, AND APPEARANCE.
I DON’T KNOW WHEN SHE HAS TIME
TO DO ABORTIONS, BUT SHE HAS
GONE DARK.
WE HAVEN’T HEARD FROM HER.
IF SHE HAS A SINGLE SOURCE, WE
ALL DEMAND ANSWERS PEER THERE IS
NO QUESTION THAT IMMEDIATELY WE
THOUGHT ABOUT THE 10-YEAR-OLD,
BUT THE IDEA THAT THIS COULD --
WE DON’T KNOW THE FACTS, BUT THE
IDEA THAT THIS COULD OCCUR
RELATING TO ATTORNEY GENERAL OF
OHIO COULD BE WITH RUSSIAN
OCCLUSION, CNN HAD $275 MILLION
LAWSUIT.
IT’S JUST TOO RICH TO VERIFY.
IT IS JUST TOO GREAT.
IT HAS KICKS AND CLICKS.
SO IF THEY REALLY CARED HIM IF
THE WHITE HOUSE REALLY CARED
ABOUT THIS 10-YEAR-OLD, THEY
WOULD GET ON THE PHONE WITH OHIO
QUIETLY AND NOT IN FRONT OF A
PODIUM.
THEY WOULD SAY, "HOW CAN WE
HELP?
IS JUSTICE BEING SERVED?
WE ARE RIGHT ABOUT THIS
10-YEAR-OLD GIRL."
>> Kayleigh: WHERE IS THE
PERPETRATOR QUESTION MARKS ME
WHEN THAT IS AN EXCELLENT
QUESTION AND IF THERE WERE AN
INVESTIGATION GOING ON IN OHIO
ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE YOU
MIGHT GET ANSWERS BUT LIKE
HE SAID, THERE IS NO BIOLOGICAL
RAPE KIT OR NOTHING TO THIS CASE
HE CAN FIND IN YOU KNOW HE’S
LOOKING, RIGHT?
IS TELLING US THAT PEER THAT WAS
AN EXCELLENT INTERVIEW BY JESSE,
BY THE WAY.
THE OTHER QUESTION I WOULD HAVE
IS, WHEN ARE WE GOING TO PUT
PRESSURE ON THE INDIANAPOLIS
STAR?
I DON’T NEED TO KNOW WHO YOUR
SOURCES ARE.
I NEED TO KNOW THAT YOU HAVE
THEM.
I NEED TO KNOW THAT YOU HAVE
SOME EVIDENCE OR ACCESS TO
EVIDENCE THAT THIS ACTUALLY
HAPPENED.
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW YOU ARE MISS
REPORTING THIS INFORMATION
POTENTIALLY AND IT IS TAKING
DOWN THE PRESIDENT.
BECAUSE THE PRESENCE PEOPLE WERE
NOT SMART ENOUGH TO FIGURE THIS
OUT ON THEIR OWN THAT THEY
NEEDED MORE THAN ONE SOURCE
BEFORE HE WE WOULD REPEAT IT.
YOU CAN’T BAKE OFF AND SAY
AD-LIBBING.
CLEANUP ON AISLE SEVEN, GET
READY WITH MOP, BROOM AND
CATCHALL, RIGHT?
I MEAN, COME ON!
IF THEY CARED AS KELLYANNE SAID,
AND THE 10-YEAR-OLD THEY COULD
SAY YOU KNOW WHAT, WE HAVE
VERIFIED THE STORY.
WE ARE WORKING TO HELP THAT
FAMILY, THAT SORT OF THING.
BECAUSE THEY HAVEN’T COME OUT
AND SAID THAT, THEY DON’T KNOW
WHERE THIS CAME FROM EITHER.
WE KNOW THAT POTENTIALLY, IT IS
NOT TRUE!
>> Kayleigh: KARINE
JEAN-PIERRE WAS ASKED ABOUT THIS
AND HAVE FEW INDEPENDENTLY
VERIFIED THE STORY?
AND SHE AVOIDED THE QUESTION.
>> Charles: NOT HAVING
EVIDENCE THAT IT IS NOT TRUE IS
NOT EVIDENCE THAT IT IS TRUE.
THAT IS SORT OF WHERE THE MEDIA
HAS GONE TODAY.
AND NOT TO BE GLIB ABOUT IT, BUT
YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHAT YOU GET
FROM PEOPLE WHO LOOK AT HISPANIC
VOTERS AND SEE THEM ALL AS TACOS
OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
EVERYTHING, THERE IS NO
SITUATION BUT THESE PEOPLE ARE
NOT WILLING TO EXPLOIT.
AND YOU KNOW, NOTHING RIVALS THE
ATROCITY OF A 10-YEAR-OLD
RAPE VICTIM.
BUT THE IDEA THAT YOU WOULD HAVE
POLITICIANS IN AMERICA TRYING TO
EXPLOIT A STORY LIKE THIS AND
MAKE UP A STORY LIKE THIS IN
ORDER TO ADVANCE THEIR OWN SICK
AGENDA TELLS YOU THEY ARE NOT
SERIOUS ABOUT THE ISSUE.
AND THEY ARE NOT SERIOUS ABOUT
THE PEOPLE WHO ARE AFFECTED BY
THE ISSUE.
AND YOU KNOW, I THINK IT IS --
SORT OF DISCREDITS THEM ABOUT A
FIELD OF DECENT DEBATE ABOUT IT.
>> Kayleigh: IF THE POINT OF
INDIANAPOLIS STAR, NO INDICATION
OF THE NEWSPAPER MADE ATTEMPTS
TO CONFIRM HER ACCOUNTS.
THE STORY LEAD REPORTER, YOU
MADE THIS POINT DURING BREAK,
DID NOT RESPOND TO A QUERY
ASKING WHETHER ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION AND THANK YOU FOR
REACHING OUT, I’M SORRY BUT I
DON’T HAVE INFORMATION TO SHARE.
>> Emily: THAT IS AGAINST THE
BACKDROP OF CODED ETHICS, WHICH
INCLUDES CONFIDENTIAL SOURCES AS
A SOLE BASE FOR PUBLISHING
INFORMATION ONLY AS A LAST
RESORT.
UNDER SPECIFIC PROCEDURES THAT
BEST SERVE THE PUBLIC’S RIGHT TO
KNOW PEER THAT GOES TO WHAT YOU
WERE SAYING.
THEY HAVE DEEMED THE PUBLIC’S
RIGHT TO KNOW IS FOLDED IN WITH
THEIR AGENDA.
TAKE IT FROM ME BECAUSE MY
WHEELHOUSE WAS CRIMINAL LAW AS
AN ATTORNEY.
THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF
10-YEAR-OLD RAPE VICTIMS.
THERE ARE VICTIMS FROM INFANTS
TO THE ELDERLY BOTH GENDERS AND
MORE YOU CAN COUNT.
THERE ARE SO MANY MONSTERS OUT
THERE.
WHAT I FIND SO DEEPLY OFFENSIVE,
THEY HAD TO MAKE UP A FAKE ONE.
THERE IS ACTUALLY SO MANY PEER
THERE ARE COUNTLESS REAL ONES
THAT I WOULD LOVE FOR THEM TO US
AS ADVOCACY FOR LAW AND
ORDER OR ACTUALLY COMMITMENT TO
PROSECUTION TO FINDING THE
PERPETRATOR.
BUT THE FACT THAT THIS ALLEGED
SITUATION WAS CREATED AND THAT
WAS TO SERVE THE PUBLIC’S RIGHT
TO KNOW AND TO FURTHER THEIR
POSITION ON ABORTION BY A SORT
OF SENSATIONALIST POSITION NOW
THAT HAS GONE DARK WITH ZERO
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE PERP AND
THE VICTIM HERE AND SO MUCH MORE
COMPONENTS TO THIS THAT PEOPLE
HAVE DEDICATED THEIR CAREERS AND
DOGMATIC EFFORTS TO ON A DAILY
BASIS THAT THEY THINK WE ARE
THAT SIMPLE AND REDUCE US, OH,
YOU EAT THIS UP AND NOT ASK ANY
QUESTIONS.
IT WILL BE REALLY GOOD FOR YOUR
TALKING POINT AND THEN IT GETS
AMPLIFIED?
IT IS HORRIFYING!
AMERICANS KNOW BETTER THAN THAT
AND ARE MORE HONORABLE THAN
THAT.
>> Harris: AND INSIDE THE
PARTY, YOU MIGHT SAY
"THE WASHINGTON POST" FLAGGED
THE TALKING POST.
>> Kayleigh: YES.
>> Harris: NOTES.
>> Kayleigh: LEFT-WING
FACT-CHECKED OR SAYS THEY CAN’T
VERIFY AND I HOPE IT IS NOT
TRUE.
>> Harris: WE ALL HOPE IT’S
NOT TRUE.
>> Emily: MY GOODNESS.
>> Harris: BUT I HOPE THEY
