Notorious grifter, Matt Walsh, claims to care so much about human fetuses.
Human fetuses like top priority, right?
So you would assume if you care a lot about human fetuses,
you should be able to identify them, right?
Well, last weekend he got tricked into admitting something that
didn't really show that he cares all that much about fetuses.
So here's how it all went down, started with him sharing this, right?
It's a quote tweet, has a photo of a fetus of some sort.
You truly believe this is a person, he quote tweets it and says, yes, do you?
Well, it turns out that it's an elephant fetus, right?
So this has been an ongoing strategy for
people on the left that I actually find super amusing because it
really cuts to the core, it cuts to what the real issue here is.
Which is the very thing that right wingers claim to care so
much about human life, right?
Zygotes, embryos, fetuses,
they care so much about protecting that precious, precious human life.
We know they're full of it because we see the way they treat
viable humans outside the womb, viable children outside the womb.
I mean, they totally defended a cop who shot and killed a black 12 year old boy,
Tamir rice, as he was playing with a toy gun at a public park.
They shot and killed him within two seconds, and
the anti choice Republican Party defended that.
In fact, I can't think of an unarmed black person that cops murdered,
that the right wing didn't find worth defending the cop on.
We know that they're obvious hypocrites when they're cutting
government programs that help children who live in poverty stay alive,
whether it's food stamps welfare, you get the point, school lunches.
So I love this strategy, because it's quick, it's easy, and
it shows just how full of it these right wingers are, Jessica.
>> It really illustrates that a fetus fundamentally is not a human life.
And that's at the core of this argument.
They keep saying abortion is murder, abortion is murder, and I think it's gonna
be kinda funny if like Pita is like yes, we believe the elephant is a person,
we believe in defending the elephant fetuses life.
But honestly on the point of the fetus not being a person yet,
let's think about what right wingers and
people who wanna defend fetuses right to life do.
They go outside of abortion clinics and hold up signs and
shame the people going in.
If you saw a person that you knew was on the way to commit a murder,
would you be like, don't do it?
Please don't go in there.
No, they don't believe this is murder.
It's very clear in their behavior when they thought an election was being stolen,
they stormed a building violently and were beating up cops.
If they believed thousands and thousands of baby murders were happening every day,
do we think that they would just be protesting and trying to pass legislation?
No, they would be outraged.
It's just very clear that even they don't believe it's murder and they're sticking
with this argument because it hinges on this misinterpretation of the bible.
Many Christians would say I'm not a Christian, so I can't speak to what
the bible really means or not, but thou shall not kill, right?
So it has to be murder for the bible to apply and for
them to galvanize the evangelical community.
And so there are countless arguments for
the reality that they don't even believe a fetus is a human life.
>> I mean, absolutely.
There's so many examples of right wing voters in America
putting their own personal interests and
hobbies above actual human lives that are viable outside the womb.
So in the case of Republican lawmakers, I've mentioned this over and
over again and I'll just say it one more time.
They have no problem carrying out the interests of their corporate
overlords by cutting taxes, which ultimately translates to austerity.
Okay, cuts to social programs, social spending programs
that help keep people in poverty alive, including children.
You also have the issue of guns in America where God forbid,
there are any restrictions there are any gun laws that would prevent them or
make it even a little bit convenient.
Maybe they have to go through an actual background check if they're buying from
a private dealer or if they're buying guns at a gun show, God forbid,
God forbid they'd be inconvenienced with the background check.
We can't have that.
We can't have that even though, we know that lax gun laws
translate to more shootings, more gun related suicides.
They don't, I mean, do lives matter in that regard?
No, their hobby matters more, convenience matters more.
And the same goes for what we experienced over the last two plus years
during a global pandemic, dealing with a highly contagious virus.
Again, something as simple, simple as briefly and
temporarily putting a mask on their faces, was just one of the most outrageous
things you could ask them to do even though they knew full well that doing so
prevented the spread of this lethal and contagious virus.
So they have shown through their actions over and
over again that they do not care about human lives.
They just don't.
And so for them to look at photos of fetuses and say, no, no, it's human life.
It's about control.
It's about controlling women.
It's about political power.
Don't let them lie to you and tell you otherwise.
Finally, Michael Knowles responded to this whole controversy saying,
quote, you looked like that once.
You kinda look like that now Michael Knowles,
doesn't change the fact that that's an elephant fetus, not a human life.
And even if that were a human fetus, it would not be viable outside the womb and
should not have the same constitutional protections that a viable human being has,
just might take.
>> I love this.
I love dunking on the right in a comedic way because we
really need comedic relief right now.
And Ben Gleib did it so well when he held up the dolphin fetus to Charlie Kirk and
was like, so you really believe this is a human life?
And Charlie Kirk says yes.
And he says this is a dolphin fetus and it's so good.
>> Let's actually go to that video we have, it's fantastic.
I love it.
Let's give the homie, Ben Gleib a shout out.
Let's watch.
>> Let me even show you a photo, if I may, okay?
Do you truly in your heart of hearts truly believe that this is a human being, this.
>> Without a doubt.
>> Without a doubt, this is a dolphin fetus.
Without a doubt, a dolphin fetus of human being.
This is a human fetus.
Look how similar they look, but quite different, dolphin.
You just confirmed that a dolphin.
In life, do you confuse dolphins for human babies often?
You go to Seaworld and
you're like someone's got human babies in that aquarium.
>> I mean, my favorite part of that video is when Charlie Kirk says without a doubt,
without a doubt, like the ignorance in regard to like human anatomy and
health science.
All of that stuff is also just front and center in all of this.
>> Yeah, I think we need more of this of going to the counter protest, if they're
gonna hold counter protests, let's go with a microphone and ask them basic questions.
Let's hold up charts of women's anatomy.
Let's hold up charts of dolphin fetuses and
ask them questions and ask them to identify parts of the anatomy.
Ask them about women's reproductive organs.
There was a TikTok very recently, where this guy thought that every time a woman
menstruates, she's releasing a literal egg, eggs like chicken eggs.
I mean, the people that are making decisions about our bodies,
don't even know what's going on inside of them.
And I think we need more of this pointing out that they actually don't
understand it.
And it actually gets really deep.
And there's a cognitive neuroscientist who wanted to really figure out,
why is there all this political polarization in the United States?
And he found that human beings are really tribal.
We have this thing called the knowledge curse.
We believe that other people we trust have knowledge that is our own.
So because I know that I can call a plumber to fix my toilet.
I think that I understand the toilet a little bit better.
They proved it in a really interesting way where they asked people,
Congress has this policy, they fully understand its impact.
How well do you understand it?
People rated their understanding much higher than when they asked them,
Congress has this policy, they don't understand it.
How well do you understand it?
We have this idea that others knowledge is our own.
And so if you can get people to realize that they've based some of their political
beliefs on what they've heard from others, people they identify with,
people in their ideological faction.
If you expose that, you can encourage them to actually look into the issue and
come up with their own conclusion, which I think is really necessary right now.
