NOW, THIS IS A SICKENING PIECE OF THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA.
THEY'VE GOT MIKE PENCE ON MORNING JOE, AND THEY ARE
ALL GOING TO FALL ON OVER HIM.
HE GAVE PERFECTLY NORMAL BLAND ANSWERS, LARGELY EVADING
QUESTIONS; LOTS OF SIDE NOTES BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO
ANSWER THE UNCOMFORTABLE QUESTIONS.
IN FACT, THE SAME THING HE DID DURING THE DEBATE, AND
LYING ABOUT DONALD TRUMP'S RECORD.
DID HE SAY PUTIN IS A GREAT LEADER?
NO, NONSENSE.
DID HE SAY HE WOULD PUNISH WOMEN WHO WOULD GET AN ABORTION?
NO.
BUT HE DID.
MORNING JOE, THEY DON'T CARE.
WHAT THEY CARE ABOUT, WE HAVE ACCESS TO MIKE PENCE AND HE
TALKS LIKE AN ADULT INSTEAD OF DONALD TRUMP.
HERE'S THAT SEGMENT.
I'M GOING TO READ WHAT YOU WROTE ABOUT HIM.
NO, NO, NO.
I HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING.
HOLD ON, LET ME READ WHAT YOU WROTE ABOUT HIM.
GIVEN TO ME, COME ON, COME ON.
YOU ALWAYS SAY PEOPLE NEED TO BE TRANSPARENT.
I AM STUNNED BY HOW GOOD HE IS.
I HAVE TO TELL YOU, I WATCHED HIM THE OTHER NIGHT AND HE
CLEARLY WON THE DEBATE.
MONEY READ THIS AGAIN, I AM STUNNED, MIKA WRITES, BY
HOW GOOD HE IS.
I ACTUALLY DON'T THINK HE'S ACTUALLY ñ
QUALIFIERS, LEFT-WINGER.
I'M THE MOST PRO-CHOICE GUY IN THE WORLD, BUT THE WAY HE
PRESENTED HIS PRO LIFE FACTS WERE SO ELOQUENT.
I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH HIM.
EVEN A THING HE'S BEING CRITICIZED ON, THE WAY HE JUST
COMPLETELY DEFLECTED ALL THE
TRUMPISMS.
THAT IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF MAINSTREAM MEDIA, ALL ABOUT
STYLE, NOTHING TO DO WITH SUBSTANCE.
STUNNED BY HOW GREAT HE IS, HE CAN TALK LIKE AN ADULT, AND
HE HAS TALKING POINTS THAT HE DELIVERS.
BRAVO, BRAVO.
I'M THE MOST PRO-CHOICE GUY IN THE WORLD, BUT BOY I WAS
IMPRESSED BY HIS PRO-LIFE STANCE.
WHY DON'T YOU TALKED ABOUT THE SUBSTANCE OF WHO MIKE PENCE IS?
PERHAPS YOU WOULDN'T BE AS IMPRESSED THEN.
1ST LET'S START WITH A RANDOM ISSUE, IT'S SMOKING.
WHY WOULD MIKE PENCE TALK ABOUT THAT?
BACK IN 2000 HE WROTE, "TIME FOR A QUICK REALITY CHECK.
DESPITE THESE AREA FROM THE POLITICAL CLASS AND THE
MEDIA, SMOKING DOESN'T KILL.
IN FACT, TWO OUT OF EVERY THREE SMOKERS DOES NOT DIE FROM A
SMOKING RELATED ILLNESS, AND NINE OUT OF 10
SMOKERS DO NOT CONTRACT LUNG CANCER.
THIS IS THE GUY THAT YOU FIND STUNNING?
LET'S BREAK IT DOWN.
FIRST OF ALL, THESE KNUCKLEHEADS ñ LOOK, IT SNOWED IN THE
MIDDLE OF WINTER SO CLIMATE CHANGE MUST NOT BE REAL.
EVERYONE SMOKED A CIGARETTE DIDN'T DIE SO OBVIOUSLY
SMOKING MUST BE FINE.
THINK ABOUT EVEN HIS OWN NUMBERS.
HE SAYS, TWO OUT OF THREE SMOKERS DON'T DIE FROM
SMOKING RELATED ILLNESSES.
THAT MEANS A STUNNING 1 OF 3 PEOPLE WHO DIED FROM SMOKING.
YOU KNOW WHAT STUDIES HAVE SHOWN?
TWO OUT OF THREE PEOPLE DIED, BUT HEY, I'VE GOT TO DEFEND
HIM, THE POLITICAL CLASS DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THE GREAT
SMOKING AND TOBACCO IS.
I JUST WANT TO HEAR FROM THE MORNING JOE TEAM ONE MORE
TIME ABOUT MIKE PENCE.
I AM STUNNED BY HOW GOOD HE IS.
DONE, LET'S KEEP GOING.
NOW, ON THE ISSUE OF PRO-LIFE VERSUS PRO-CHOICE.
AT FOX THEY EXPLAINED THAT MIKE PENCE WORKED ON A BILL IN
INDIANA THAT IS NOTHING SHORT OF
SHOCKING.
"IT WOULD HAVE BASICALLY FORCED WOMEN TO SEEK FUNERAL
SERVICES FOR A FETUS ñ WHETHER SHE HAD AN ABORTION OR A
MISCARRIAGE, AND NO MATTER HOW FAR ALONG THE PREGNANCY WAS."
IF YOU DID IT JUST ON ABORTION, THAT WOULD BE SO BEYOND THE
PALE, IT'S AGAINST THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS THAT
WOMEN HAVE.
IT MAKES IT, BY THE WAY, FAR MORE EXPENSIVE.
IT'S ALWAYS TO DISCOURAGE THEIR ABILITY TO EXERCISE THEIR
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, BUT IT ALSO COULD APPLY TO
MISCARRIAGES.
I WILL BE DUE MORE.
"THE LAW PENCE BACKED WOULD HAVE REQUIRED ALL FETAL TISSUE TO BE
CREMATED OR BURIED, AN
UNPRECEDENTED MEASURE IN STATE LAW."
SO IS NOT LIKE OTHER RIGHT-WING GOVERNORS WERE DOING THIS.
MIKE PENCE IS LIKE, I'VE GOT A GREAT IDEA GUYS.
LET'S GO FOR A LAW, NO ONE HAS DONE THIS BEFORE, WHERE YOU
HAVE TO HAVE A FUNERAL AND BURIED THE REMAINS THAT YOU
HAVE AFTER AN ABORTION ñ OR A MISCARRIAGE.
I KNOW PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD MISCARRIAGES, DO YOU KNOW ANY?
SO ASKED THEM IF THEY WERE REQUIRED BY LAW TO DO A
BURIAL FOR THEIR MISCARRIAGE, HOW THEY WOULD FEEL ABOUT THAT.
THIS IS GROTESQUE.
ONE MORE ABOUT THIS FROM CROCKETT, "THE LAW ALSO
BANNED ABORTION IF THE FETUS HAD A DISABILITY ñ
WHICH WOULD HAVE DENIED WOMEN THE RIGHT TO AND A
PREGNANCY EVEN IN THE CASE OF SERIOUS FETAL ANOMALIES."
SOME OF THOSE FETUSES, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO EVEN MAKE IT
TO THE END OF THE PREGNANCY.
SOME OF THEM ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT AFTERWARDS, THESE
ARE KNOWN FACTS.
SOME ARE DEBATABLE, OTHERS ARE NOT DEBATABLE, THEY ARE NOT
GOING TO LIVE.
NO, NO, NO, DOESN'T MATTER, I'M BANNING YOU.
I DON'T CARE THAT IT'S YOUR BODY AND THAT YOU HAVE TO CARRY
IT, I DON'T EVEN CARE THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE BORN ALIVE.
NO, I, WHO CLAIM TO BE IN FAVOR OF SMALL GOVERNMENT, AM
GOING TO GO INSIDE YOUR UTERUS AND DICTATE EXACTLY WHAT
YOU DO AND DON'T DO.
BY THE WAY, SOME SAID AND EXPLAINED THAT ACTUALLY,
SOME OF THE PERIODS THAT WOMEN HAVE OUR MISCARRIAGES AND THEY
DON'T EVEN KNOW IT, SO IT'S
POSSIBLE UNDER THIS LAW THAT YOU WOULD HAVE TO BURY YOUR PERIODS.
THIS IS MIKE PENCE.
WHAT WE GET FROM THE PRESS?
THE WAY HE ARTICULATED ELOQUENTLY HIS PRO-LIFE
STANCE WAS SO GENUINE.
SO GENUINE.
HE LEFT OUT THE PORTION ABOUT THE FUNERALS RIGHT?
VIDEO BUFFERING ñ
HOW
SICK ARE YOU MAN?
IT'S NOT ABOUT SMALL GOVERNMENT, THAT'S FOR DAMN SURE.
IT'S ABOUT IMPOSING NORMALITY ON OTHERS.
YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE AN ABORTION?
GREAT, DON'T HAVE ONE.
I SUPPORT YOUR RIGHT TO DO THAT.
BUT THEN THEY SAY, NO NO NO, I'M GOING TO DO THIS WHOLE CEREMONY.
THIS IS SO VILE, SO MANY WOMEN IN INDIANA FOUGHT BACK THAT
HE FINALLY RELENTED.
OKAY FINE, MAYBE WE WON'T HAVE FUNERALS FOR MISCARRIAGES.
THAT'S WHO MIKE PENCE IS.
ONE MORE ON MIKE PENCE.
HE PROPOSED, WHEN HE WAS IN CONGRESS ñ RUNNING FOR CONGRESS,
THIS WAS ON HIS WEBSITE, HE SAID, "CONGRESS SHOULD OPPOSE
ANY EFFORT TO PUT GAY AND LESBIAN RELATIONSHIPS ON AN
EQUAL LEGAL STATUS WITH
HETEROSEXUAL MARRIAGE."
GAY AMERICANS HAVING THE SAME RIGHTS AS STRAIGHT AMERICANS?
THEY SHOULD BE LESSER THAN US.
THAT'S WHAT MY BIBLE SAYS, SO I'D LIKE TO THUMP YOU OVER
THE HEAD WITH IT.
THAT'S MY HATEFUL INTERPOSITION OF THE BIBLE, AND I'M TO
FORCE THAT ON YOU.
BUT WE'RE NOT EVEN WITH THAT, HE WENT ON TO SAY, "CONGRESS
SHOULD SUPPORT THE REAUTHORIZATION OF THE RYAN
WHITE CARE ACT ONLY AFTER DELETION OF AN AUDIT TO
ENSURE THAT FEDERAL DOLLARS WERE NO LONGER BEING GIVEN TO
ORGANIZATIONS THAT CELEBRATE AND ENCOURAGE THE TYPES OF
BEHAVIORS THAT FACILITATE THE SPREADING OF THE HIV VIRUS."
"RESOURCES SHOULD BE DIRECTED TOWARDS THOSE INSTITUTIONS
WHICH PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO THOSE SEEKING TO CHANGE
THEIR SEXUAL BEHAVIOR."
YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT THAT IS?
THE RYAN WHITE CARE ACT IS ABOUT THE RYAN WHITE ORGANIZATION,
WHICH HELPS ABOUT 52% OF THE
COUNTRY THAT HAS HIV/AIDS.
IT GIVES THEM HOPE, IT GIVES THEM TREATMENT, IT GIVES
THEM LIFE.
AND HE SAYING, NO NO NO, IF THEY ARE GOING TO GO AROUND AND
SAY THAT BEING GAY IS OKAY, WE SHOULD PULL THEIR FUNDING,
AND WE SHOULD GET THAT FUNDING TO GROUPS THAT DO GAY
CONVERSION THERAPY, WHICH IS BASICALLY PSYCHOLOGICAL TORTURE.
NO, YOU'RE NOT WHO YOU SAY YOU ARE, MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE OKAY?
DON'T BE YOU.
I'M GOING TO IMPOSE MY MORALS ON YOU.
SO THOSE PEOPLE SUFFERING WITH AIDS OR HIV?
NO, SORRY, YOU'RE NOT GETTING THAT MONEY ANYMORE.
SO MANY STATES HAVE BANNED GAY CONVERSION THERAPY BECAUSE
IT IS MENTAL TORTURE, IT IS OUTRAGEOUS, AND THAT'S WHO
MIKE PENCE IS.
BUT INSTEAD ON MSNBC, THIS IS WHAT WE HEAR.
I AM STUNNED, MIKA WRITES, BY HOW GOOD HE IS.
MAINSTREAM MEDIA, WITH NO SUBSTANCE WHATSOEVER.
AND THIS IS HOW THEY MISINFORM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
THEY NEVER TELL YOU WHAT THE REALITY OF THESE CANDIDATES ARE.
INSTEAD THEY GO, IT'S STUNNING HOW GREAT HE IS.
LOOK AT WHAT WE DIDN'T CALL OUT.
THE LIES WE DID NOT EXPLAIN.
HE SEEMS SO ELOQUENT.
WHAT'S THE REALITY?
WHO CARES?
I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU.
AND THEN LATER, IF HE'S IN OFFICE AND HE DOES THESE
THINGS, NOBODY COULD HAVE SEEN IT COMING.
YEAH, AS USUAL WE SAW IT COMING AND YOU HAVE DONE YOUR JOB
TO PROTECT THE ESTABLISHMENT.
MSNBC, THE NETWORK THAT PRETENDED TO BE PROGRESSIVE.
HILARIOUS.
YOUNG TURKS.
