Fox News Hosts: Women Don't Know What They Are Doing!
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld said, "I still think it's a sad state of affairs when the most important thing in a woman's life is abortion."
- 11 minutes
I'm going to leave the lady issues
to the ladies today.
But I have to say,
I still think it's a sad state of affairs
when the most important thing
in a woman's life is abortion.
And.
And you may be upset when a man says that,
but somebody has got to speak
for the unborn children if you're not.
[00:00:18]
I personally would not be upset
or even confused or bewildered
by a guy saying that because a guy
doesn't know what it's like to literally
have your entire life changed,
impacted by the fact that you are unable
to make a decision about your own body.
[00:00:36]
It impacts your life economically.
It could impact your life
in so many health-wise.
If you have a complication
but are unable to get an abortion because
of how restrictive the laws are, depending
on the state that you're living in.
So it doesn't shock me at all that Greg
Gutfeld doesn't understand why women
[00:00:55]
would care so deeply about this issue,
that they would put this issue
above everything else
the economic health of the country.
Immigration, all that stuff for a lot
of women falls by the wayside
when the government tells them,
hey, you don't get to make a decision
[00:01:11]
about your body, your future, your health.
Yeah. Yeah.
Women care about it a lot.
They care deeply.
Yeah.
I got to say one thing because,
I don't think it's that hard
to understand if you're a guy,
but that's why I'm amazed by Greg Gutfeld,
[00:01:28]
who has no empathy at all for anyone else.
So he's like, I don't get it
when it comes to guys.
He's like, freedom, man.
Freedom of speech.
Republicans are all about freedom.
I want the freedom to say racial slurs.
I want freedom when it comes to women.
Like this would affect their entire lives.
[00:01:46]
Are they going to raise this child for 18
years and beyond, or is the trajectory
of their life is going to be different?
What if they suffered rape, incest?
They said whatever,
all the different terms.
Besides which, it's none of your
goddamn business what they went through.
It's their business and their decision
and their bodies
[00:02:03]
and their entire lives are on the line.
And he's like, what's the big deal
about their freedom, anyway?
A bunch of girls, And then you wonder
why you have a giant gender gap.
And women don't want to vote for
Republicans because you keep saying
[00:02:19]
that they're irrelevant and useless, and
you don't give a damn about their rights.
Gee, I wonder why they don't like you.
And by the way, before we get
to other Fox News hosts
and what they had to say about this issue,
because he did get a lot of backup on
this, including from women, unfortunately.
[00:02:35]
Look, I mean, there's a gender gap
on the Democratic side
as it pertains to the male vote.
And rather than trash men, as someone
who delivers the news and does commentary
and analysis, you know what I did?
I went out of my way to understand
what is it about male voters that are
[00:02:56]
just totally turned off to the messaging
from the Democratic Party,
the policies from the Democratic Party.
And look, to be fair, it is true liberals
in this country, for I don't even know how
many years have been repeatedly talking
about toxic masculinity.
Being masculine is bad.
It's bad, it's bad, it's bad.
[00:03:12]
Men feel like Democrats don't like them,
that they're pariahs
within the Democratic Party.
That is a big reason why.
Okay, look, so I get it.
And there is definitely some of that.
Does that explain the entire gender gap
of why males have been supporting
[00:03:28]
Democrats, supporting Republicans more
over the last ten, 20 years?
No, that doesn't represent all of it.
It's not all of it.
But I think that's a big reason.
Let's keep it real. Okay.
So unfortunately,
a lot of things are tribal.
And so for the people who already have
power, if they sense that they're
[00:03:45]
losing power, they get upset about it.
They don't think about it consciously.
They don't think like, okay, I am a person
who has more power than other people.
Oh my God, now we're equal.
That really bothers me.
That's not how they think of it,
but subconsciously they're like,
I like the way things were. Why is things?
[00:04:01]
Why are things always changing?
There's so many immigrants
in this town, I didn't.
I didn't when I was growing up,
there wasn't that many immigrants.
They didn't all look different. ET cetera.
And in the case of men versus women. Now.
Okay, now that we care.
Have to care about their freedom
and their rights.
All right.
[00:04:16]
Okay, I guess I guess we have
to share and be equal.
And. Yeah, it bothers some men.
Is that all men? Of course not.
It's not even close
to the majority of men.
But that is an issue. But for.
So there's different factors that affect
men on how they vote for women.
[00:04:32]
I don't think it's as complicated.
The Republicans say we don't
want you to be able to control
your body or your lives.
We we want to control
that with our big government.
That makes it super clear that's not
there's no complication there at all.
[00:04:49]
Now, Jeanine Pirro argues that,
you know, all these dumb women
were just a little more educated.
They'd know better.
They'd vote for Trump over Kamala Harris
or the Republican over the Democrat.
Let's watch.
The most important issue for women
is the economy, followed by abortion,
[00:05:06]
followed by immigration.
Who is strongest on the economy?
You can make fun of Donald Trump, but he
at least explains more than Kamala Harris
that we are sitting on gold and energy.
And when we've got energy and we don't
have to buy it from other countries,
[00:05:23]
that we can use it to build things,
to use it to develop things,
to drive cars, to heat our homes,
to make stoves, all that other stuff.
He makes more sense than Kamala just
saying we need an opportunity economy.
And finally, when women talk about
immigration, when you put the economy
[00:05:42]
and immigration together,
it beats abortion by 32 points.
So what you've got here are women.
Sure, they're concerned about abortion,
but if they were educated a little more
than just this crazy dictate dictum
that comes from the Democrat women,
[00:05:58]
they would understand that a lot of
this isn't protected as it is, but women
want protection for their families.
They want to go to the supermarket and not
have to put things back on the shelves.
I know we're going to get a little
sidetracked, but I can't help myself.
[00:06:14]
I have to talk about the whole energy
independence point that she made in that
rant, because it's wholly inaccurate.
So we are the top oil producer
in the world and also the top oil exporter
in the world.
We, by the way, do buy oil from
other countries, including Canada, because
[00:06:32]
the oil we produce, we can't refine.
Did you guys know that our oil refineries
can't refine our oil?
Because the companies drilling for the oil
don't want to invest
in building the refineries
that are necessary to refine that oil?
[00:06:49]
And so as a result, why do they do that?
They want to provide a higher return
to their shareholders, of course.
And so we import a certain kind
of oil from Canada.
And we are the top exporter.
And by the way,
that's even more expensive to do.
But so and then we export more than any
other oil producing country in the world.
[00:07:08]
So like you want
to talk about go get educated.
How about you go get educated. Yeah.
And so her thesis is women.
You shouldn't care about being able to
control your own body or your own life.
The government should make that decision
for you, even if your life is on the line.
[00:07:24]
But the thing that's really important is
that we get the oil from under the ground
and give it to ExxonMobil
so they can sell it all over the world
and have higher profits.
Yeah. Oh, wow.
I didn't know you were
that educated, Jeanine.
- Okay.
- Totally keeps me up at night.
All I think about all night long
is are we drilling enough for oil?
[00:07:40]
I think about Mobil making enough money.
I don't know, because, you know,
if there's one protector of women's rights
in America, it's ExxonMobil.
Totally. Totally.
Yep.
What a winner. What a winning Argument.
Reproductive rights isn't simply about
being able to abort an unwanted pregnancy.
[00:07:59]
Having control of your body
means having control of your future.
Being able to make decisions
about when you want to have kids,
how you want to have kids, whether or not
you are ready to have children.
There's that economic factor of it,
but there's also the factor
[00:08:16]
of you don't know every instance in which
a woman might need to get an abortion.
And when you needlessly have
these ridiculous restrictions in place,
even when there are exceptions
for when the woman's life is in danger or
the future of her fertility is in danger,
[00:08:31]
or there is a huge chance
that she's going to deliver a stillborn
because of fetal abnormalities,
it is ridiculous to hear from people
like Jeanine Pirro and Greg Gutfeld
question why women would prioritize
this issue above all else.
[00:08:48]
Yeah, well, Greg Gutfeld
is the expert on women's issues.
So, yeah, I'm going to take his words
really seriously, but go ahead.
Look, this is the only reason why,
if I'm being honest.
And that's what we always do here,
that the Democrats are still in the race,
but keep digging that, you know,
[00:09:05]
into that wound
and keep telling women that their bodies
and their lives are irrelevant and they
should shut up and vote for Trump.
I bet that works out great for you.
Currently, 1 in 3 women and girls
of reproductive age,
around 21.5 million people live in states
which either completely ban abortions
[00:09:22]
or do so after six weeks of pregnancy,
which is effectively a ban.
Okay, most women do not know
that they're pregnant at six weeks.
Abortion is the top election issue
for young women in the 2024 election.
That's why we see this gender gap,
with around 40% now prioritizing
[00:09:39]
their reproductive rights
when they had to, when.
- They head to the polls.
- When they head to the polls.
According to a survey conducted
by Kaiser Family Foundation.
This is a significant increase from last
spring when this number sat around 20%.
I just.
This should be a cakewalk for Democrats.
[00:09:58]
I think that Pirro made one point
I agree with, which is Kamala Harris
is doing terrible in messaging
in regard to her economic plans.
People like to jump
down my throat about that.
Go ahead.
She has pivoted completely
to a pro-business message.
[00:10:14]
She went from being popular
with a more populist economic message
to now losing support as she keeps
talking about, oh, I want to provide
access to capital for businesses.
I want to provide bigger
tax cuts for for businesses.
Okay, great.
[00:10:29]
I mean, I could just vote
for the Republican if I wanted that.
Look, congratulations, Kamala.
There hasn't been that many elections
where the rights of Americans
have been this clear.
And if you vote for Trump
and the Republicans, they think that they
[00:10:47]
they should be able to take women's rights
away, including the right to control their
body, their reproductive rights, etc.
And they just tell you, yeah,
we don't think it's a big deal.
We don't think
you should have those rights.
We think men who run the government
should have the right
to control your bodies and your lives.
And we think you should shut up
about the fact
[00:11:04]
that you were taking away your rights.
And Trump brags
about taking away your rights.
I got rid of Rowe,
I got rid of Rowe, he says.
So he's super proud
about taking away your rights.
And the Democrats say that they won't.
You could disagree on many other issues.
You could debate many other issues.
[00:11:19]
But this was crystal clear.
One side is in favor of rights
and freedom,
and the other one is dead set against it.
And that's the Republicans
who hate freedom.
If it's women's freedom.
