the Dobbs decision.
What's your what's your messaging advice to republicans messaging abortion?
We'll lean into were the pro life party, we're going to protect the sanctity of
human life and democrats have the radical position.
They're the ones who think you should be able to take the unborn child's life right
up until their birthday for goodness sake.
And they had a governor in Virginia just a few years ago who said even
after that fact, you can take the life of a child That is frightening.
So lean into and talk about where the life that's going to protect the sanctity.
We're the party that's going to protect the sanctity of human life.
Like we've always been, as I watched that clip, I couldn't help but
think of that gift featuring Jack Nicholson doing this, you know, like Yeah,
yeah, because what jim Jordan is doing there is giving his republican
colleagues literally the worst advice so have at it.
Please lean into a policy that the vast majority of americans are not in favor of.
What do I mean by that?
Well, recent poll that was just brought to my attention.
This was a poll that was done in Texas specifically in regard to
the abortion restrictions, effective abortion ban.
That has now taken place in Texas.
And according to this recent poll by Perry and
which surveyed over 2000 voters across various demos,
60% of texas voters believe abortion should be available in all or
most cases with only 11% of Texans wanting abortion banned in all cases.
Nine out of 10 surveyed also agree that texas,
politicians are out of touch with their electorate on this issue.
And guess what?
So that's one poll you might be saying anna anna you're putting too much
weight on one pole.
What are you doing?
Okay, fine.
Why don't we take a look at republican politicians,
Republican candidates specifically,
who are very quietly erasing antiabortion language from their campaign websites.
Starting with blake Masters.
Until recently, blake Masters campaign website promoted him as a 100
percent pro life candidate and pledged support for a Federal Personhood law,
ideally a constitutional amendment that recognizes that unborn babies or
human beings that may not be killed.
Then recently his websites language had changed
the reference to Masters as a 100% pro life candidate.
Gone mention of the personhood law that vanished too.
And guess what? Masters ain't the only one.
Here's another one.
Something similar has happened in michigan where republican
state Senator Tom Barrett is running for a U.
S. House seat.
Barrett's website once touted his opposition to abortion under any
circumstance and has promised that quote,
I will always work to protect life from conception.
As recently as this past May, he told Melissa nan burke of the Detroit news,
he opposed allowing abortion in cases of rape or incest, but at some point,
the abortion section vanished from his website and both Masters and
Barrett later changed their messaging to focus solely on late term abortions.
I used to say this all the time on the show, dated,
someone who was Jamaican awhile back and
her uncle used to say whoever wants to stay, stay, whoever run, run, run, run.
Okay, so here's republicans run, run, run, run.
So every part of this is funny and very important by the way.
So I'm gonna get to the politics of this in a second, but
I'm gonna give you one more republican this from huffpost.
I'm quoting now and the website for Mark Franchetti GOP, candidate for
governor of New Mexico, who in a previous campaign said that quote,
life should be protected at all stages now promises a middle ground approach that
focused on prohibiting late term abortion all of a sudden whatever was wrong, wrong,
wrong run, he's apparently he's found the middle ground before,
couldn't find the middle ground when he was in the primary,
when the polling hadn't come out when republicans hadn't lost yet on this issue.
He was all, he was all stages prohibited.
No, to what we do, the polls say, the poll said that goddamn middle ground middle
middle ground, just scrub scrub scrub, scrub scrub middle ground Guys,
it isn't just that the tim Ryan one in new york,
with the 12 point swing that they didn't expect in the polling,
not tim Ryan Pat Ryan, tim Ryan's running in Ohio for the Senate.
It isn't just the Kansas results that were shocking 60 40 win for
pro choice in Kansas with more republicans voting than democrats and independents.
It's that they see the pulling in their own races and
they're in a cold sweat panic over which proves which proves something
that I've been saying on this show over and over again for years.
Which is that the abortion issue was never about life or
death for the politicians who purport to care about life.
Okay. It was always about power.
It was always about control.
I mean, I shared this on the show recently jake, but
I'm gonna repeat it because it took five years after the roe v wade ruling for
jerry Falwell to say anything about that ruling.
Five years went by.
He didn't, he didn't have any objections to it until he realized that he and
other evangelical leaders in the country could use it as a wedge issue
to galvanize religious extremists in this country, right?
And to organize them to ensure that there would be a religious voting block that
had some leverage in politics.
That's what it was always about, it was about power and control.
That's it.
So now let's talk about unsavory politicians on both sides.
Meanwhile, when row got overruled the democrats rushed out with their emails
telling you to donate to them.
But when asked if they would make a political issue out of it in the,
in the midterms.
They were very equivocal.
They were not at all sure.
And you saw them giving quotes about, well, we'll see in other words,
I'm gonna check the polling first.
What happened? I thought you cared about protecting
women's rights.
You were really gung ho about that.
No, it's always about power and money.
Okay. So and what did Pelosi do?
Right after the decision came out, she went and supported queer whose anti choice
and she and he barely barely won in a Democratic primary.
His primary opponent opponent was a perfectly good democrat who's pro choice,
but helped Pelosi helped to end her pro choice career, at least in that election.
Why?
Because he doesn't really care about the issue.
But now that the polling has come in, the democrats are like, yeah, yeah,
we met we're going to protect your rights.
Absolutely.
Okay.
So they're saying that.
Meanwhile, look at what jim jordans said.
The first clip we showed you guys there now switching to the only tenable
political position in napoleon indicates that, well,
americans do generally have a problem with late term abortion.
Well, good news row prohibited late term abortions.
So now they're republicans.
So they're in a tough spot because basically the american people
believe that roe is exactly right.
Okay.
So what do they do instead?
They just start lying there like, they're democrats want to do abortions right up to
the minute that the kid is going to be born.
Some of them claim that that abortions happen right after the baby is born,
which by the way, I believe we have laws against that, you know,
laws pertaining to murder, that would be considered murder, literal murder.
No, no, but
there's no end to how unintelligent republican voters are these days.
It's not just jim jordans who just implied it ted cruz outright said it.
So many republican policies are calling it post birth abortion.
That's literally not a thing that's you can't have a post birth abortion,
a post birth would be killing an independent viable
human beings right there outside the womb.
It is like that saying, you know what O.
J. Did a post term post birth abortion on
Nicole Simpson, etcetera, what they were in the thirties or forties, right?
It doesn't matter. It's a post birth abortion now,
it's not murder.
Like, what are you guys lunatics?
There is no such thing yet.
Republicans lie about us through their teeth.
And since the media has gotten so used to republicans being inveterate
liars that they don't even fact check them anymore.
They just I've seen now countless articles where republican will talk about post
birth abortion or will say in every article, they say the democrats want to do
abortions up to the minute that there's birth and the goddamn reporter doesn't
even bother correcting, it doesn't even bother saying, this is a lie.
It's obviously not remotely true, and that's not what roe v wade says at all.
It says the opposite, that you can't have one in the third trimester
because now we've just surrendered and it's said okay.
Yeah, republicans are allowed to lie.
Yeah. I mean the other lie that they love to
tell is that parents are like clamoring to do hysterectomies and
sex changes for their minor Children.
No, no one's doing that.
That's not happening.
Okay, miners are not getting hysterectomies in this country.
Just a brazen brazen lie.
And but if you on CNN if you say the Republicans rely on a regular basis and
this is provable on this issue and
on the issue that Ana mentioned very regular basis,
they say it more often than they don't say it and it is a provable 100% lie.
If you say that fact on CNN you'll be fired.
You were unfair to republicans by pointing out that they're not telling the truth.
You should allow them to lie.
But if a democrat ever says anything that isn't true.
Well if their corporate democrat also let that go.
But if they're a progressive bachelor, living crap out of them,
what part of this is fair or neutral or objective?
No, he's 1,000% lying.
And so is every Republican that says that.
But anyway, Hey guys it's your political funeral.
Republicans, you want to keep dying on that hill, go for it, go for it,
say it loud and say it proud.
Say like Jim Jordan, take his dumbass advice.
Look I want a guy that he worked with, took his advice and kept molesting kids.
He said, don't worry, I'm not gonna turn you in, you keep on going.
And a guy who molested dozens of more kids.
So now he's telling the Republican Party, Hey, take my advice.
Let's lean into running an abortion where we've lost at
least 70 percent of the country, but maybe way more have at it.
Hoss molested college wrestlers.
Let's be specific.
Okay, so they were, some of them were teenagers, but they were above age,
presumably since they were in college.
And so Jim Jordan, you should be really proud of that record rumor.
