folks there is nothing like the smell of an anti-choice arse kicking in the morning it feels good you were probably paying attention to the elections last night mostly primary elections in various states but some very important uh elections were taking place particularly a referendum in kansas you see kansas already had enshrined in its constitution that women have the right to control their bodies they have the right to choose what to do about that if you're a nutty forced birther who thinks 10 year olds should if they're raped have to give birth to a child and destroy their bodies and minds well what you do is you put a referendum on the ballot but you sneakily try to make sure that it is voted on uh during the primary period where turnout is much lower and if you can turn out your looniest craziest wackiest stupidest most pig ignorant followers you can win that was the republican party's plan i figured red kansas right state trump won by 15 points no problem except they got their asses handed to them that's right in what should be a blueprint for the midterms for republicans across the country uh republicans for democrats across the country um the referendum was won by the democratic side not just by five points or ten points or eighteen points it almost got sixty percent of the vote to protect the right to choose and to reject this cruel corrupt idiotic amendment uh props were were their deserved democratic democratic governor laura kelly came out strongly in favor and put really her career on the line she's running for re-election as governor a democratic governor who's who's center-left certainly progressive in a very red state and she knew that she understood the politics of this nobody in washington seems to they go to ohio diners hi i live in ohio i can show you a diner where not every person is a white working class stereotype with uh you know grab my pee on their shirt and like a big trucker hat and uh you know i'd love to trump to take care of my children and golden showers are wonderful and did i say that in any case um in most of the midwest not as it's portrayed by media who've never been out here see i grew up on the east coast i grew up in new york and i lived in washington dc went to college in philly and i actually came and lived out here before i made bold pronunciations about what goes on here turns out there's blue voters and purple voters and red voters just like everywhere else somewhat different proportions but not everyone's a troglodyte here and certainly in the big cities and and in the big uh in the suburbs these days because republicans have become such a just insane pile of crazy um you've seen many suburban moderates flee to the democratic party that's obviously what was happening here this was the revenge of sort of democratic turnout in suburban moderates turnout was up 14 in this primary republicans lost by 18 points on the referendum and trump had won the state by 15 points that's really the numbers you need to know so now you look beyond kansas we obviously have to re-elect the governor laura kelly in kansas but you look beyond kansas and you look in places like michigan where they elected where they nominated was their name tudor dixon we talked about her before she's that fine young lady it looks like they're almost trying to get like the evil sort of bizarro remember bizarro superman if you watch that kind of thing super friends early in the morning it's fun stuff when i was a kid um bizarro gretchen whitmer they've nominated this attractive well put together woman at least the way she dresses and then she's a crazy person when you talk to her that would be where she's unlike gretchen whitmer and they think that their anti-gretchen whitbear will beat gretchen we weren't well any case two interdiction is somebody who believes that uh she said that she thought it was it was a great opportunity um for a 14 year old molested by their uncle to give birth yeah she doesn't believe in any exceptions i don't think even in the case of the life of the mother um ectopic pregnancies and the rest like she will wait to the last minute and maybe if the mother is flatlining then her life is of some value even if you can't bring her back and maybe then you would abort a baby uh no i'm sorry let me say it again a fetus um but tudor dixon thinks if you're 14 and your uncles decide to molest you you're the perfect example that's her quote perfect example of someone who should be giving birth because it won't destroy your school career it won't destroy your career career it won't destroy your potential opportunities to find a mate it won't destroy your
