00:00:00.000 About five years ago, Call Her Daddy was the biggest podcast in the U.S., and young women
00:00:09.280 across the nation watched this.
00:00:11.620 Now, what is Call Her Daddy?
00:00:14.400 It was a podcast that got famous for what they call the Gluck Gluck 9,000.
00:00:22.840 Now, basically, two young women who were living in New York City, again, it's the same concept,
00:00:28.260 were showing their dating escapades around New York City. So this was one of the hosts at the
00:00:35.540 time, Alex Cooper, talking about how to give a gluck gluck. I'm not going to play the whole
00:00:41.220 thing because it's a little raunchy, but I'm just going to play a little bit so you guys can see
00:00:45.000 what I'm talking about. The dick sucking was a grade C minus D. I'm rich. I'm going to tell anyone 0.99
00:00:51.160 listening. I can't describe it, but there's like all the fucking Cooper special. I know that's why 0.97
00:00:54.220 about to start talking about sucking dick super special you were here first partying in miami 0.99
00:00:59.100 please i'm currently packing from miami and new york my forehead looks extremely large and shiny 0.99
00:01:03.020 hello my boyfriend happens to be making a movie in miami at the same time as we have to do work
00:01:05.900 in miami we've been working at barstool for i think about a month ago yeah and things have
00:01:08.140 gone pretty great guys you know what's for our podcast and the podcast has been doing amazing
00:01:10.380 it's killing it yes with that said we are so psyched with our podcast oh my gosh you're such
00:01:13.340 perfectionists we overthink everything and we cry after every single recording i don't know i
00:01:16.940 feel like it's not funny either i think we're doing horrible i'm about to get her fast and
00:01:20.380 i'm all about it let's get that show okay i'm in a weird place right now and i've never in my life
00:01:24.220 really thought about this i've had a three-some before i've never had four-some i enjoyed myself
00:01:26.620 it was with another girl um and a guy but it was he was kind of he's just like a pig so like i just 0.61
00:01:31.260 was like it was like fun but it wasn't anything like i need to do this again yeah then with this 0.83
00:01:34.700 new guy he was sexual and we've had conversations about like it's the first real relationship that
00:01:37.980 i've been so like sexually pushing the limits like he pushes me to the limits and he's like
00:01:41.180 would i want to do everything with you because it makes me even if we do that's wild like you
00:01:44.620 like whatever it is it makes us closer so we've been talking about possibly like while we're
00:01:48.620 traveling because you can't do it in your bed at home no traveling
00:01:54.460 so he travels a lot for work and we are maybe going to a different country
00:01:56.460 together and he was like it could be hot like if we're like out one night and we
00:01:58.380 you go pick someone up and we bring them back and i've been thinking about it
00:02:00.300 it's early enough in the relationship that if it's ever going to happen it
00:02:02.220 would have to be now so that like i would have to see like did i like it
00:02:04.780 or would it be a thing that if you do like it do you think would be part of
00:02:06.540 your relationship like or like a holiday what he said is like if you
00:02:08.780 hated it he was like i'm down to do with another guy or another girl it's down to
00:02:10.460 you like you pick the person he's like i want you to pick them because it's 0.96
00:02:11.980 more so i want you to have sex with the industry some that like i want you to 0.98
00:02:14.940 attracted to the guy and he was like i wore the girl i want you it's not even for me because i 0.99
00:02:17.900 will be more turned on if you are having sex with this girl i'm having sex like it's so hot like 0.99
00:02:20.060 i don't have to her like whatever whatever it's all perspective he's making you see things in a 0.95
00:02:22.300 new light because he's like and if we hate it we never have to do it again okay so alex previously
00:02:26.140 teased her big day with a wedding themed lingerie shoot for kim kardashian's company skims but it
00:02:31.660 seems she was a bit more covered up for her actual ceremony the 29 year old podcast host 0.99
00:02:36.940 wore a custom-made gown by designer daniel frankel and when it came to planning the occasion it was
00:02:42.700 a quote dream for her oh my goodness now why does that lead to call her daddy having kamala on in 1.00
00:02:54.460 2024 now if you guys don't know kamala harris is our vice president and she's currently running 0.98
00:03:00.460 for president of the united states and many people have asked and i think it is a very valid question
00:03:07.180 how on earth does a sex podcast get a sitting vice president on the show? And the answer to
00:03:16.200 that question is because a lot of women relate to Alex Cooper. They relate to her. We look at
00:03:24.340 this woman, right? You can tell that she's not the best interviewer. It's not like she's cultivated 0.93
00:03:31.240 a very unique talent but what she is is she's relatable women do not care about skill or they 1.00
00:03:38.440 don't have the tendency to care about skill they have the tendency to care about relatability at
00:03:44.440 which point my mother turned her head looked at me and had the biggest smile had the biggest smile 1.00
00:03:52.840 ever these women had very similar career cycles who knows maybe alex cooper will run for office 1.00
00:03:59.800 one day i don't say this to be cynical but if i had to predict the future i think we're going to
00:04:07.240 see more of this where we sell our sexuality young and then many of these women are going to cycle 1.00
00:04:16.920 into other areas as kamala did into politics you know she was a known 304 in the political scene 1.00
00:04:24.680 and she was even known to be a side chick of a married guy and now she's gets to run for office 1.00
00:04:32.280 without even getting elected that was my mother sitting across from you i think you know as women 1.00
00:04:39.340 we have to work 10 times harder we got to be smarter we got to play the game to even get our
00:04:43.200 foot in the door sometimes can you tell the daddy gang yeah when people tell you no now this is an
00:04:50.020 example of living in delusion. I am appalled by that question. This is a woman who kick-started 0.93
00:05:00.940 her career by giving blowjob advice, saying that women have it harder. What about the men 1.00
00:05:09.700 in the oil rig? What about the men in the coal mine? What about the men in construction? Those
00:05:17.360 are 99% male fields. And somehow a woman that has spent her 20s partying in New York City 0.94
00:05:26.460 and getting the privilege of getting paid to document it and get $60 million is going to
00:05:35.100 cry about women having it harder. This is appalling. This is ridiculous. This is living 1.00
00:05:43.120 in delusion. When people look at you and doubt you, what does that ignite in you?
00:05:50.760 So I've been told that many times. And through the course of my career, I've been told,
00:05:56.580 you know, at one point, you're too young. I've been told, oh, nobody like you has ever done that
00:06:01.660 before. Oh, they're not ready for you. Oh, and this is the one that kills me. Oh, it's going to
00:06:08.260 be a lot of hard work, right? As though we don't like hard work. And here's my response.
00:06:14.140 I don't hear no. I don't hear no. And I urge all the daddy gang, don't hear no. Just don't
00:06:22.940 hear it. Throughout this election, your identity has been called into question many times. Your
00:06:29.060 opponent has called you crazy, weak, fake, and dumb. How does that affect you? I think it's 1.00
00:06:35.220 really important not to let other people define you and usually those people who will attempt to
00:06:39.360 do it don't know you i want to talk about before your career in washington yes you mentioned you
00:06:44.520 worked as a prosecutor specializing in sexual assault cases and this is something obviously
00:06:50.480 i touch on on my show i have so many women that listen and i i want to talk to you because i know
00:06:55.100 you had a personal connection as to why you really sought that out can you talk about what led you to
00:07:00.140 taking on that career so when I was in high school my best friend her name is
00:07:05.720 Wanda I learned was being sexually assaulted by her stepfather and you know 0.66
00:07:11.480 I knew something was going on because she she didn't want to go home she you 0.90
00:07:15.500 know she just seemed sad and so she told me and I immediately said you have to
00:07:21.620 come and stay with us I called my mother was at work yes she has to come stay
00:07:25.260 listen she did now for the women that are watching I want to show you guys how
00:07:29.900 politicians manipulate us. I actually don't like that word because how we allow ourselves to be
00:07:36.260 manipulated by politicians. What they do is before every election season, they tell us some sad story
00:07:44.360 that has to do with SA, grape, or abortion to get us to run to the polls instead of thinking about
00:07:52.380 the issues that are actually important this election season. So I don't go too into politics
00:07:59.320 on this channel, but culture, politics, or culture, relationships, and sex absolutely affect every
00:08:08.100 political season. It absolutely does because that's what's important to women. If you look 1.00
00:08:14.100 at our media, that's what we care about. We care about relationships, sex. Those are the things
00:08:19.660 that women read on. Politicians know that. So what do they do? Every election season, they come in and 1.00
00:08:26.060 say, you're not going to be able to get your abortion. Somebody is going to grape or SA you 0.73
00:08:31.220 because they know we love true crime or whatever. They placate on what we consume as an audience
00:08:39.720 in order to get us to run to the polls and not pay attention to the important issues
00:08:44.580 that actually affect our day to day. And I just, it, it upset me so that someone
00:08:53.360 where they should feel safe and protected were being so horribly abused and violated, right?
00:09:02.060 And anyway, I decided at a young age, I wanted to do the work of protecting vulnerable people.
00:09:08.220 I mean, look, I was raised, I'm the eldest of two daughters. I was raised with my mother saying
00:09:12.400 since practically the day my sister was born, you know, look out for your sister. So maybe it
00:09:17.060 started when i was two but um wanda and and her experience really um convinced me and made me
00:09:26.260 realize how this can happen and what we need to do to stand against it can you because again like
00:09:34.260 i have women write in being like i don't know who to tell i'm dming you and i'm telling you because 0.99
00:09:40.500 the shame and the terror and the where do i go from here and most of the time it is the people that
00:09:46.500 are closest to them that are doing this like it is what feelings do you have and like what is the
00:09:50.980 course of action in that moment that you take so the first thing that i would say to anyone
00:09:56.660 going through it is tell someone that you trust don't don't quietly suffer you have done nothing
00:10:04.100 wrong you have done nothing wrong and don't let anyone convince you you have often the abuser
00:10:11.620 will tell her that if she tells, then something worse will happen. And that is usually wrong.
00:10:19.720 And know that there are people that want you to be safe and will want to protect you.
00:10:25.560 But don't silently suffer. And know that you have a right to live in a place where you
00:10:32.800 feel safe and are actually safe. Unfortunately, I know that so many women 1.00
00:10:37.820 can relate to what we're talking about. One in three women has experienced some form of
00:10:41.400 sexual abuse in their life. That's exactly right. Now again, if you're a woman and you're watching
00:10:46.720 this channel, you know they want you to be a victim. So what they're going to convince you,
00:10:52.620 what they do is rape used to be, the definition of rape or grape used to be forced sex. They 0.85
00:11:01.800 switched that definition to sex without consent. And when they broadened it, it's to convince us
00:11:09.260 that we're victims and that any awkward sexual experience is an assault of some kind and
00:11:16.600 that's what and they put this in our institutions and even schools teach this stuff and the police
00:11:23.700 system they back it up and it's all in an attempt to get us to run to the polls because and paint
00:11:31.020 us as victims because there's power in victimhood and i feel like when we say that that number can
00:11:38.320 get lost because it's like one in three moment like this is happening this is real this is
00:11:41.800 happening right now but Alex let me just say this also thank you for talking about it because part
00:11:49.440 of the issue is that people don't talk about it and I don't mean the survivors of it I mean nobody
00:11:55.960 does and the more that we let anything exist in the shadows the more likely it is that people are
00:12:04.020 suffering and suffering silently and we need to talk about it we have to talk
00:12:09.600 about it child sexual assault is something that affects far more people
00:12:13.640 than the public discourse about it acknowledges and it the more we talk
00:12:21.520 about it the more we will address it and deal with it the more we will be
00:12:24.960 equipped to deal with it be it in terms of schools in terms of the society at
00:12:31.860 large right and to not stigmatize it i i agree i think like the power that we have is through
00:12:39.220 our voice over here like me trying to have a conversation any chance i can get the amount
00:12:43.380 of times i have conversations with women and then i have thousands of women reaching out being like 1.00
00:12:48.660 oh my god i just remembered something from watching this podcast episode and it brought
00:12:53.220 back the trauma but now i know i need to get help like years ago this wasn't even a conversation
00:12:57.860 let's see this is and that again because years ago there wasn't as many resources to convince us
00:13:04.580 that we're victims that's what it is they expand the definition and throw everything under essay
00:13:12.900 everything to the point that men are afraid to approach women because they don't want to be 1.00
00:13:17.700 accused of it this is how insane it's gotten that's exactly right and so when i talk about
00:13:21.940 when i say stigmatize it what i mean is stigmatize the survivor yeah we still have so far to go on
00:13:27.380 the issue of child sexual assault just like in a previous time the issue of domestic violence
00:13:33.540 people didn't talk about domestic violence and part of it was this really warped idea that well
00:13:40.260 what happens in the home is none of our business but if it happened on the street it would be our
00:13:47.140 business if we witnessed it on the street and so the point being that abuse of anyone is something
00:13:53.540 we should all take and again what they're doing is and and women i just once you hear this stuff
00:14:01.060 you will not unhear the pandering what they do is abuse used to be one person hitting the other
00:14:07.700 unreciprocated that's what it used to mean you know what it means now they have expanded the
00:14:13.540 definition to include things like emotional abuse emotional abuse financial abuse and all different
00:14:21.780 types of abuse and again they do this so that we have more victimhood status now everyone can say
00:14:30.020 i was abused and they know that in the realm of women we operate on attention as our currency so
00:14:37.540 when we operate as when we operate on having attention as our currency and we can use the
00:14:43.700 victimhood status for attention it it's a no wonder that me too was a thing it's no wonder
00:14:50.740 because anybody could post it and get victimhood points seriously as opposed to saying
00:14:57.140 it's not our business it it it's something that we have to agree should not happen and whatever
00:15:02.900 resources and whatever attention we can put into reducing the likelihood that it happens is
00:15:08.580 worthwhile how do we make this country safer for women now this is what i call gaslighting 1.00
00:15:14.740 this is what i call what she's not asking is how immigration has affected safety for all people
00:15:22.580 but what i don't hear from her is thanking the men that protect us every day you if you have
00:15:30.340 a dispute in your home you can call the police you can walk alone at night in any major city
00:15:36.900 really with relatively no problems i know it's getting more dangerous nowadays but even if
00:15:42.500 something bad happens we still have the option to call the police and men will protect us we are a
00:15:49.300 protected class and still every day they will sell us victimhood none of us are doing the hard jobs
00:15:55.940 in society that there are men literally dying every day trying to get us oysters so we can eat
00:16:03.700 in alaska and yet still the question is how can women be safe men are killing themselves at nine
00:16:11.060 times the rate of women and yet we still have the tendency to make it all about us and the 0.92
00:16:18.020 politicians just buy into it or the politicians realize that we are the biggest swing voters so
00:16:25.060 again it's it's no wonder that we see so many adult women in a state of perpetual 1.00
00:16:32.100 child-like behavior because the politicians are catering to us the police force is catering to 0.97
00:16:39.620 us the media is catering to us they give us whatever we want corn stars get married sex 0.99
00:16:46.340 podcast gets 60 million dollars how what do we not have if we want to have kids at 35
00:16:55.060 ivf still works the majority of the time you can freeze your eggs and still do it they have
00:17:00.500 extended fertility by a decade what more do we need we have contraceptives that have a 99 0.91
00:17:07.460 percent rate of not getting pregnant. You can get an IUD and you will be fine. There's so many 1.00
00:17:14.900 options. And yet still we talk about how do we make it better for women? That's a big question.
00:17:21.140 There's a lot to unpack there. I mean, one of the things, for example, on domestic violence
00:17:25.220 that I can tell you is this. When a woman, and in particular, if she has children, 0.79
00:17:31.220 if she is economically reliant on her abuser, she's less likely to leave because most women 0.97
00:17:37.620 will endure whatever personal physical pain they must in order to make sure their kids have a roof
00:17:45.060 over their head or food. So one of the ways that we know that women are able to walk away 1.00
00:17:51.620 from abuse, and there are many layers to her being able to do that, but one of them is,
00:17:55.540 does she have the economic freedom to be able to do that right in 2024 you can work off of your 0.95
00:18:02.640 laptop we can go turn on a camera and make millions of dollars running a podcast we can
00:18:10.980 go get a tech job where you do virtually nothing we can go work at the oil rigs just like the men
00:18:17.600 we can go become police officers we have the ability to do all of these different jobs and yet
00:18:25.220 we still complain. Why? Why? So one of the ways that we know we can uplift the ability of women 1.00
00:18:33.980 to have choices is uplift the ability of women to have economic health and well-being. I'm going to
00:18:40.240 get more into that later, but about, you know, how we can make that possible. But I do want to
00:18:46.380 reference something I saw was at a rally in Pennsylvania, former President Trump recently
00:18:51.960 told women you will be protected and i will be your protector what do you make of that so he who
00:18:59.240 when he was president hand selected three members of the united states supreme court with the
00:19:04.120 intention that they would undo the protections of roe v wade and they did just as he intended
00:19:09.880 and there are now 20 states with trump abortion bans including bans that make no exception for
00:19:17.080 rape or incest which we just discussed which means that you're telling a survivor of a crime
00:19:23.320 of a violation to their body they don't have a right to make a decision about what happened so
00:19:28.680 99.5 percent of all abortions are elected rape and incest is not a primary reason for abortions
00:19:38.360 so what i would like to say to the maybe two women that are watching this is they sell these stories 1.00
00:19:45.160 to us to try to make us run to the polls. That's always what they do. It's always some
00:19:50.440 terrible, awful scenario that's going to happen if you don't vote for our party.
00:19:57.660 It's to their body next, which is immoral. So this is the same guy that is now saying that.
00:20:04.940 This is the same guy who said that women should be punished for having abortions. This is the
00:20:12.240 same guy who uses the kind of language he does to describe women. So yeah, there you go. I do want 0.85
00:20:18.440 to focus on abortion for a moment because two years ago, Roe v. Wade was overturned and women
00:20:23.860 lost their constitutional right to an abortion. I put out an episode about it. I flew to North
00:20:28.360 Carolina. I went to a preferred women's health center. I met with women. I get a little frustrated 1.00
00:20:35.920 because these are adult women. I mean, this woman's older than me. And you know that we have 0.91
00:20:41.980 plan B. You know that we have IUDs. You know that we have pills that we can take every day. You
00:20:49.180 know there's some shot they can put in your arm that you can take to prevent a pregnancy. We have
00:20:55.240 condoms. We have so many different forms of contraceptive. And even if you're in a state
00:21:01.200 where abortion is limited, you can still drive to another state and get an abortion. Yet we still
00:21:07.740 want to be victims an option is to be more responsible with who you have sex with or
00:21:15.840 more responsible with when you have sex you can only get pregnant like three days a month 0.94
00:21:21.500 or it's very unlikely otherwise so you can track your cycle there's so many options and
00:21:27.460 yet we still have the ability to play victim that we're getting screamed at and chanted
00:21:34.540 that and called baby killers. And it was the most eye-opening experience I've ever had
00:21:40.860 because I am a privileged white woman that lives in Los Angeles. And I am so aware of
00:21:44.780 that. I understand that a lot of the younger generation sees things online and is like,
00:21:50.240 what is right? What is wrong? What is real? What is not? Can you explain and talk about
00:21:55.460 what is actually happening to abortion access right now in this country?
00:22:00.720 Yeah. So again, I thank you for what you've been doing and at the earliest stage of this
00:22:05.760 and following the stories. So, you know, on public policy, I often tell my team, look,
00:22:13.280 I don't want to hear about public policy is a fancy kind of speech or paper. Tell me how it'll
00:22:21.100 affect a real person. So let's talk about how it affects a real person. The majority of women who 1.00
00:22:25.600 receive abortion care are mothers. So if she's in a state, and by the way, every state in the south,
00:22:32.520 except for Virginia, has an abortion ban. Okay. So imagine she's in a state with an abortion ban. 1.00
00:22:40.160 One out of three women are, by the way, in our country. And she's a mom. So she's going to have 0.98
00:22:46.020 to figure out, one, God help her if she has affordable child care. God help her if she has 1.00
00:22:51.740 paid leave and then she's going to have to go to the airport stand in a tsa line sit on a plane 1.00
00:22:58.380 next to a perfect stranger to go to a city where she's never been to receive the care she needs
00:23:06.220 she's going to probably have to get right back on that plane because she's got those kids her 1.00
00:23:10.380 best friend's probably not with her because that's who's taking care of the kids to get back in that 0.70
00:23:14.940 tsa line to get back on a plane to go home and again they're doing it again i am a victim that
00:23:23.260 is what she's selling you are a victim and you will not be able to abort your kid if trump is
00:23:30.220 elected that's what they're selling us it's interesting because the same people that talk
00:23:34.700 about empowering women never talk about all the options that we have and are empowered to take
00:23:41.660 if we so choose that this whole situation could be prevented from the beginning and that's all
00:23:49.260 if they can even afford the plane exactly or the bus exactly exactly because when roe v wade
00:23:57.180 was overturned i remember my dms were flooded with thousands of women begging me to help and 1.00
00:24:05.660 it's overwhelming and i can't even imagine i'm saying that in front of you but it's overwhelming
00:24:10.300 and i remember people begging me like i just need to afford a bus ticket so i can get out of this
00:24:15.660 abortion desert that i live in in the south so i can get to a state but they can't even if you 0.73
00:24:21.100 know what i mean so it's like these people are literally landlocked into a position that they
00:24:26.620 don't want to be and and here's the thing here's the thing is that you don't have to abandon your
00:24:32.620 faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government shouldn't be telling her what to do
00:24:38.060 if she chooses she'll talk to her priest her pastor or rabbi her imam but not the government
00:24:43.820 telling you what to do and that's what's so outrageous about it is a bunch of these guys up
00:24:48.700 in these state capitals are writing these decisions because they somehow have decided
00:24:54.620 that they're in a better position to tell you what's in your best interest than you are to
00:24:58.780 know what's in your own best interest it's outrageous it's outrageous i mean daddy gang
00:25:03.740 to put it in our tick tock terms um i have seen girls on the street walk up to men and be like 1.00
00:25:09.740 do you know where a tampon goes do you know how many tampons we use do you even know how like do
00:25:15.900 you know what a x or y or z is of a part of our and they don't know the answer i was the first
00:25:22.940 vice president or president to ever in office go to a reproductive health care clinic ever really
00:25:31.420 yes yes yes i didn't know that but i guess that makes sense to your point and yet the men are
00:25:38.460 making the decisions and what's so interesting is what they don't talk about is that men
00:25:46.220 have conscription now it hasn't been used in years right but if the government decides that
00:25:54.300 a war has broken out and it's bad enough men can still be put in the military right
00:25:59.340 where they have no choice. Here's the other thing about this point, that it's
00:26:04.020 about IVF treatments and access. It's about access to contraception, which is
00:26:08.580 very much at risk with these folks. It is about, back to the point about
00:26:12.840 reproductive health clinics, you know what those clinics also do? They do PAPs. 1.00
00:26:16.340 They do breast cancer screenings. They do HIV testing. So this is the same thing.
00:26:22.400 Plausible deniability. No, no, no, no. It's not abortion. It's the PAPs. It's the 0.98
00:26:27.580 testing how dumb do they think we are this is what the the same way i i think how dumb is ross to 0.99
00:26:35.840 accept that deal i think the same thing when we listen to this stuff you're telling me an abortion 0.99
00:26:40.400 clinic yes they have other services but let's be honest the main service that they are selling
00:26:46.900 at places like planned parenthood is abortion there have been whistleblowers that have come out
00:26:52.440 and said this. And they're having to close in many places with these bans. So think about the fact
00:27:00.080 that for anyone who has gone to one of these clinics, you understand that it is sometimes
00:27:05.200 the most trusted place where people receive that kind of health care because they walk into those
00:27:11.080 places that are generally staffed by people who create a safe place for people to come in without
00:27:17.840 judgment so anyone seeking any kind of reproductive health care and and wanting to go to a place where
00:27:25.440 they feel safe and without judgment these clinics have often been the place that people can go
00:27:30.720 and many of them are having to close because of these laws i was raised catholic and
00:27:38.080 abortion is a sin and when i put out that episode i had a lot of women reach out to me saying like
00:27:43.280 wow, I live in the South and I never thought about it that way. Maybe I am pro-choice because
00:27:50.240 I won't get an abortion because of my religion, but why should we control what someone else wants
00:27:54.880 to do? And you know what's interesting, Alex, to your point, what I'm finding as I travel,
00:27:59.760 people who before two years ago, before Roe v. Wade was overturned, people who felt very strong
00:28:08.080 about that they are anti-abortion anti-abortion are now seeing what's happening and saying
00:28:15.520 i didn't intend for all this to happen and i think that's also why in state after state so-called
00:28:21.680 red states and so-called blue states when this issue has been on the ballot the american people
00:28:26.720 are voting for freedom because ultimately it's about look this is not about imposing
00:28:32.400 my thoughts on you in terms of what you do with your life or your body it's it's actually quite
00:28:37.200 the opposite it's saying the government shouldn't be telling people what to do i think that
00:28:42.080 unfortunately we have these these real life names we have these horrific moments that these people
00:28:49.600 are losing their lives right we have a woman named amber thurman who died in georgia because
00:28:55.520 the abortion bans in that state the doctors were too afraid to treat her do you guys believe that
00:29:01.120 i mean someone will have to send me the story but come on every election cycle they find some sob
00:29:08.800 story to scare us into the polls and there has to be a point where we realize that other issues are
00:29:17.040 are more important this election season.
