"People like him cos he's learning as he goes". Can you imagine anyone on Fox saying that about Obama when he was running for office? Mindlessness personified.
+kyle What?! When a conservative complains about the "Liberal Media" they mean there is widespread, systematic bias towards liberal viewpoints. Not that one interviewer on one occasion a Republican candidate some challenging questions!
I'm a Brit and this was all over our papers and other news. I'd just like to say I'm disgusted, genuinely disgusted. I'm so confused that a man as stupid and bigoted as Trump could get this far in a supposed super power. I'm horrified that even when he says something as hideous as this, some of your citizens STILL support him. If he said that here he would be forced from his position, unquestionably. In fact most likely he would have been long before now. Greatest country in the word? That's not even remotely true, not any more.
+Jack Queen I'm an American btw, I agree. America is great and unique but best in the world? Saying this now is insane to even consider. It is worse that as an American that people legitimately believe in white supremacy and that abortion should be illegal - illegal in any sense, this includes teen rape victims that are too scared to look for the help and support that they need in a timely matter. Granted this is a worst case scenario, it can happen and the law should be ready for the worst. NOT TO MENTION getting an abortion is basically impossible in some states now, look at John Oliver's Last Week Tonight segment.
You miss the point, although I would not vote for Trump I have followed this election campaign closely and find that mainstream news in America is so biased, takes comments out of context and twist the facts. The are many issues you could challenge Trump on but instead news media go for sensationalism. Trump will make a unpractical statement about temporarily banning Muslims from potential insecure countries until better security measures are put in place and the media will say Trump is a racist because he wants to ban Muslims forever for no reason except their religion. Bush had a valid argument about isolating friendly Muslims countries but the media ignores rational arguments and goes for the Trump is a racist line.
+John Hart to even consider banning people of a religion for any amount of time is outrageous. Why don't Catholics get banned for the church sex scandal or groups like the ira, or how about banning Protestants for the nazis and kkk, or Jews for Zionism. That won't happen and shouldn't happen. That statement he said was as clear as day and as bigoted as it possibly could have been. Not to mention how impossible it would be to implement.
To be fair you all have a point on some level in my opinion. seagk1343 I have seen many John Oliver things regarding Trump and he's absolutely right about pretty much everything. As well as this, I think the irony of Trump saying he will make America great again whilst simultaneously destroying it has expired comically. Even the fact that you agreed with me regarding america not being the greatest country in the world and not attacking suggests the influence he has had. ***** It is outrageous, and the first time he said that (and we knew about it over here again due to his ignorance leading him to think he could comment on our country regarding the issue) I said that as well. I mean practically speaking it's ridiculous, never mind morally. You could say the exact same for his beloved "Wall" that he wants to build, considering how many illegal immigrants don't even enter that way (most travel by boat) and yet it will cost how much? And AGAIN you could say the same regarding his terrorist family killing policy considering 90% of terrorists families aid in efforts to capture said relations. We have a version of Trump over here. called Nigel Farage, and he's a joke. As in an actual punchline. He has little to no power or influence and every time he runs he looses by a greater margin. What I don't understand is why is that not happening with Trump over there? Why is he still being allowed to say these things and encourage violent behaviour? Why?
John Hart +John Hart Yes the media is biased and sensationalist, you're right, but the issue here is not that the media do that - it's that you and other Americans I've talked to don't EXPECT that. I mean why not? They're the media, of course they're going to do that. Personally I think this highlights a lack of critical thinking in America, a lack of critical thinking that allows people like Trump to gain power because he can say whatever he wants and people won't check it, they'll just believe. Maybe that's how fairies get their wings over there, I don't know the reason. I mean are you, as an American I presume, even aware that Trumps plans to create jobs (by slapping 35% tax on goods entering the US from offshore american businesses) will lead to mass inflation and unemployment? Are you aware that his tax plan will increase your national debt by a further $11 trillion by 2026, and raise GDP by 80% in the following decade? I mean why do I know that and I'm not even in America? Because I think critically and let evidence lead me to an opinion. Also a lack of critical thinking can be highlighted by the insistence on religion still not only being a thriving part of the society over there (in which believing blindly is encouraged no?) but influencing legislation such as the abortion issue for example. Why? Why is that happening? Religion, the best example there is of an organization based on no evidence and pure belief, still not only encouraged but almost a social requirement? Also despite the media being sensationalist, they also haven't been wrong - at least in the admittedly limited media press I have seen. I've seen quite a few now and I haven't disagreed. Why? Because all of them, even fox news, are against Trump. I don't think bias is really an issue regarding Trump in mainstream media over there any more, particularly whilst Trump makes it so incredibly easy for them.
I love my doctor he only took up practice a couple of months ago he spent all his life as an accountant and got bored. He says he doesn't need any medical qualifications because he is smart and he will know everything about open heart surgery after he has operated on me - what a guy!
Chad Boswell You're forgetting his response to questions in the interview where he couldn't tell Kurds from Quds and didn't care about the difference between Hamas and Hezbollah: "I will know far more than you know within 24 hours after I get the job." That's going to be a hell of a 24 hours.
It's crazy that they like Trump for just saying what he thinks people want to hear and when it isn't what people want to hear he changes it. I thought "flip flopping" was the biggest sin to the right? Lol
A "liberal media tactic" to ask questions about national issues and quote people accurately? Wow. Trump on this issue is just like all his other "positions." Whatever he pulls out of his posterior at the moment is where he "stands."
Trump once again proved he is a fool. The intelligent answer from Trump to Mathews would have been "Presidential candidates and presidents in the U.S. do not determine who should be punished or how. That is a job for the courts. And besides, you are asking a hypothetical question as abortion is presently legal. " It really was not fair for Mathews to trick someone with the intellect of a five year old, although I enjoyed it immensely. "Kids Say The Darnedest Things."
"He misspoke", "it was a trap"...if that is the case do we want someone that will misspeak and easily fall into a trap to be sitting across the table negotiating with Putin/China/fill in the blank. One of my favorite quotes every spoke by a president was, "I like to know what i'm talking about before i say it". BOOM!!!
Impressive feat of mental gymnastics by Andrea Tantaros. A less astute observer would just see another example of Trump being stunningly stupid and offensive all by himself, but Andrea thinks the Hillary camp somehow "trapped" Drumpf into being totally unfamiliar with the Constitution, Roe v Wade, or the fact that abortion is legal, and saying stupid, offensive nonsense; all as a clever part of their plot to unleash "their upcoming gender war". Who but brilliant Andrea saw the big "upcoming gender war" so far in advance; who else could have known that the candidate (Hillary) that has been a lucrative investment for banks, the oil industry, Monsanto, Wal Mart etc, for decades; the Democratic party corporate insider, is really just softening us all up for her real agenda: the Gender Jihad!? And who knew Hillary's power was so great she can force Trump into saying stupid things (the "trap" she set for him), when she and her campaign isn't even present?
+pingpong wigwom A fetus is not a grown baby, nor is an acorn a tree. You're pro birth, not pro life. Are you going to take care of the baby after it's born?
pingpong wigwom oh your poor poor brain, i pray that maybe someday you'll learn to use it,....Maybe you could find a new hobby besides getting worked up over youtube comments
I really don't believe pro-life people understand the outcome of outlawing abortion or they are just being disingenuous when they say they do not want to punish the mother. Criminalizing something requires a negative consequence to enforce. So if it becomes outlawed and doctors will not do it anymore, what happens when a woman does the abortion themselves??! Do we honestly believe that pro-lifers will not want to punish the mother. We already have evidence to the contrary when women are being prosecuted when miscarriages occur.
+CarbonAtom14 i think we do understand the outcome. it should be illegal still. either that or we should allow men to have an opt out. equality under the law.
Reporter: President Trump, why did you give the order to drop a battlefield nuclear weapon on a civilian population in Mississippi? Trump: I misspoke, I thought I was ordering coffee. Literally frighting that this guy could wield any true power ever!
His abortion comments were exactly what the anti-abortion fundamentalists wanted to hear and agree with. What Trump did not do was use coded language, and instead Trump just says it plainly. Ha Ha.
+Gregory Wonderwheel But, he said it in a hurtful way. The proper way to address it is , "women exercising their constitutional rights for reproductive freedom", or pro choice. Do not offend me again!!
He needs to be able to answer the questions regardless of whether he's "learning as he goes". He doesn't get a free pass to the presidency because he's new. If abortion became illegal, however, it would be because of the determination that an unborn child is considered a person, thus making abortion some form of murder. Thus, the mother would be conspiring to commit murder or whatever with the doctor. Trump saying that she should be punished makes sense under these circumstances, and I am no Trump supporter.
+Pascal Schackmann Oh I totally agree that he flip flops/lies. I just don't agree that women would be blameless in this situation with all that it implies. Both Ted Cruz and John Kasich said that women shouldn't be punished, but it doesn't make sense considering their pro-life stance. It just seems like those two are just trying to be politically correct, rather than think critically about the issue and what they really believe.
The question was, "If abortion was illegal......?" Well, if it was illegal, all involved with an abortion would face legal consequences. Women having an abortion would be complicit in the crime! Please, stop twisting the news against Trump!
+poptart 523 The entire justification for the argument against abortion is that it's "murder" of an unborn child. If people believe that argument, and they manage to make abortion illegal because of it, then how does it not follow that the doctor, the woman, and anyone else involved with helping to make that abortion happen should be punished? Frankly, the negative reaction Trump's getting from people who are otherwise calling for abortion to be illegal seems incredibly hypocritical. Note: I'm not one of those people.
+poptart 523 ~ No you moron. If abortion was illegal, the law would require that all who participated in it would be punished. That's what Trump should have said, and what he intended to say.
if Trump think before he speaks he wouldn't have this problem, who do he think he is??? l can't believe people do not have a mind of there own and can't see right though him.
What amazes me is that "right-to-lifers" think abortion is murder, but that soliciting someone to commit murder (i.e. hiring someone to perform an abortion) should not be considered a crime.
Why are the people who fight so hard against abortion not care about the children once their born? It's like they want to get you here then you're on your own who cares if your one day old.
+Kingsley Zissou It doesn't change the truth of what he said. It's the hypocrisy of those who argue against abortion. They care about the fetus inside the womb but do not care what happens to it later. It is a question that has not been answered, and probably will not be. Hence the whole red-versus-blue debate for years upon years.
In reality, Trump doesn't have a position on anything. It's just a persona he adopts that requires him to say things that ultimately are going to contradict themselves!
Fox certainly paints him as an underdog. Also, how do you convince people to switch from their candidate that the msm is against to your candidate that the msm is against, purely with the reason that the msm is against your candidate?
I am not the only person who finds Trump's mouthpiece "Scottie" completely odious, disingenuous and intellectually and morally repugnant, am I? I sincerely believe not. Like this post if you agree: let's just see how 'popular' she is...?
IF it is Illegal then there must be a trial in response to lawbreaking. Abortion should be free on demand , with an option for a stipend of 10K to have a tubal ligation concurrently.
***** Had a friend who left her abusive spouse with her two kids and birth control doesn't work on her. She wanted the procedure so she wouldn't have any more children, in case he y'know found her and raped her. Well she has 3 kids now he's in jail and she finally got her damned procedure. Their reasoning: "You might want more kids someday." She thought that was the most bullshit thing ever. She finally got out of the programs but seriously. Another baby costs waaaay more than that 10k in taxpayer money.
The fact that so many people are shocked by Trump's statement is ridiculous. Yes, if abortion was to be made illegal, then the women that had abortions would be punished. Obviously. This is a fundamental, basic idea for the enforcement of laws. Same thing with taxes, if you don't pay, you're punished. If you don't stop at a stop sign, you're punished, ad infinitum.
+Luke Hamilton But the modern left, as well as pussies on the right, put women on a pedestal and get offended at the slightest hint that women should be held to the same standards as men. It's completely insane, but that's what feminism has done to our society, one that used to be based on justice and equality, until feminism took over.
he was asked if it was illegal, should there be a punishment... stop twisting the truth... if it is illegal, it is illegal, and there will be punishment
if this was a court room its called leading the witness the reporter should of allowed Trump to say the women should be punished instead the reporter phrased it to be a yes or no answer and frankly i feel that the way the question was phrased he jumped the gun and answered what he thought the question was going to be , i even thought he was going to say the doctors should be punished he was rather quick to clarify what he intended to say. when you are defending yourself on three different fronts . THE democrats, THE MEDIA and the republican party that's a lot on someones plate he corrected it they should let it go . The obama administration which hilary is a major part of bold faced lied to the supreme court and gets caught she needs to go to prison. obama needs to be impeached and tried for treason for arming and aide to our sworn enemies that and releasing ISIS leader and 4 of their top military advisers should be plenty f grounds to try and convict obama NOT ALLOWW HIM ANOTHER 10 MONTHS TO FINISH OFF THIS COUNTRY
+jinitron i am pro life but just as i wouldn't want anyone to tell me i have to or i can't do something with my body its a woman's choice but if the law states you have a time limit to do it then both the doctor and the woman should have consequences for the doctor suspend their licences for a year and if caught again loose their licences the woman should have to attend classes first offence explaining the whole process of the abortion and if caught again she should not be allowed to have kids . that may seem harsh but so is killing a child twice if she doesn't want it get the abortion with in the time limit the law allows or even better put it up for adoption. Now as far as brain washed if you think that the politicians in Washington have any compassion for anyone but themselves and Obama isn't purposely undermining this country to the point of its destruction , he has all of our rights sewed up in all those executive orders, he released the leader of ISIS and 4 of his top military strategists with out consulting anyone, then he arms and funds them, our sworn enemies that we are at war with. He traded a deserter and a traitor who help kill members of his own squad by explaining what procedures they would and where to place the explosives, he is flooding this country with thousands of Muslims not knowing if they are affiliated with terrorist organizations or where they are really coming from with the majority of them males of fighting age, he gives iran 150 billion dollars and doesn't ask about our prisoners plus gives them the ability to start up their nuclear program again but , with the 150 billion he gave them they can just go buy a nuclear missile, he is forcing the US citizens to get the governments health care after making statements for months and months you can keep your doctor knowing that wasn't true, selling guns to Mexican drug cartels and at the same time trying to disarm he US citizens. They are all criminals with the same agenda and now they finally come out and say that we as citizens have no say on what they do and choose to represent us , and sadly we only find this out because they had to make it public so they can explain the outlandish corruption and illegal actions to keep Trump out of the White House for the sole purpose that he truly wants to try to save this country and isn't bought and paid for like almost every politician in Washington. he is a threat to unbelievable power and money that the special interests have , and is a threat to money flow they give all those politicians. If they are all against Trump it cant be just that he is unqualified its because he is not a part of all their corruption and illegal actions. oh if you are at war with someone you don't open your borders and flood your country with the same people you are at war with
+frank salifu if you believe abortion is murder, the one getting an abortion should logically be charged with murder. Don't see what Trump say is outrageous.
It is kind of a trap question. But the problem is not "librels" who ask the question. It is to do with the orthodoxy of the right not being morally consistent. If abortion is the equivalent of killing or muder, then the woman should be held responsible to some extent.That is not my position. I am pro choice. But if you follow their bible logic to its ultimate conclusion, women should be held accountable. Of course, women would not like it so they go after the doctors and the clinics. Cowards.
+Haannibal777 Especially because some states in the US already punish women who miscarry if they think the woman "did something" to cause the miscarriage. We already have some women in jail over this. It's not a leap in logic.
+Ntwadumela So instead of taking a saying it is right or wrong to follow the law you give me a derogatory label? great debating skills!

For me the Pro Life movement doesn't make any sense. Why would you as a normal human being interfere with something that is literally none of your concern and doesn't affect you, your life or anyone else around you at all? When i think of supporters of this movement i imagine people that are frustrated and bored by their own lifes so they need to pick on someone else and the politicians that are also in favor of this movement giving in to those bored angry goons and channeling their voices just for their profit or maybe because they're also angry and bored.
+FolonRNG are you insane? do you realize it takes two to have a baby? The baby or fetus, if you want to dehumanize someone, is just as much a ;man's child, as it is the woman's. How about some equal rights for men? And what about the babies rights? the only reason why some men support abortion is they don't want to pay child support.
By the way, for people who weren't aware, Donald Trump also tweeted out the other day something along the lines of "We need to end video game violence - it's creating monsters!". So, yeah. That's the guy you're voting for.

+04mzwach Not this time. Making women criminals is not the kind of blow a politician can recover from in a Democratic/Capitalist society, even Trump. Women pack a lot of power these days and they are proactive on matters that affect them, especially on important matters such as this. Trump does not stand a chance now.
+TheLyon11 the problem with your opinion is that Trump didn"t say he wanted to punish women for abortion. The context was if they broke federal law, he would see them punished. As far as i know, despite saying he is pro-life, he doesn't have any plans to make abortion illegal nation wide.
TheLyon11 i am saying that because people are responding to trigger words, sound bites, and the opinions of the media instead of listening to what the candidates are actually saying and the context in which it was said. This is fairly evident in regards to trump and bernie sanders.
I left this comment on a different video on the Young Turks chanel... but it explains why I agree with him .. +the young turks and commentors. I think realistically there isn't a yes or no answer to a question like this. If you look at it from an unbiased point of view you can see how abortions can be both detrimental but also beneficial. On the beneficial side of abortions; if a woman gets pregnant as a result of rape then atleast she doesn't have to live with that "consequence" for the next 18+ years of her life. On the other hand, (from a personal experience) I know of a 18 year old girl who has had 5 abortions in her life already with her first one when she was just 15.. she admitted it herself and laughed it off! She was dating my best friend(21yo) and two of them were with him, both of which he was against. He dated another girl after her who also aborted his baby without any say from him what so ever(although it was her first one she was taking preventative measures like birth control and trying to use condoms in the first place and she wanted to go to school etc and had ambitions in her life that would be just impossible if she had a baby-- and was distraught by the whole experience!). For all three of his pregnancy's he was of sound mind, financially capable and independent and wanted his babies even if the mother didn't want to be involved. I think the solution to this would be that you can have the first one.. no questions asked because we do have to factor in the fact that everyone makes mistakes but every time after you have to obtain abortion via court order, unless the situation is life threatening to the mother similar to how they issue warrants for arrest/search etc. In this way a judge can form an unbiased decision weighing all the factors involved i.e.. the circumstances of the pregnancy, mental stability of the mother and father, and certainly the financial capabilities of the mother and father. In this way perhaps the father can have equal representation on the matter! If it takes two to make a baby, why only one to kill it? Im sorry but the moment my child is growing in another human being it is no longer JUST her body... that child is 50% mine and carrying my genes. This isn't even in the United States... this is in Canada where you can walk in and have an abortion whenever, free of charge with zero consequence & no questions asked ever. I don't think this is a religious debate rather a spiritual and logical one and at the end of the day many of these "pro-life" are hypocrites. they jump fences to defend unborn children meanwhile syrian refugees are turned away, african americans are shot every day, people are unjustly imprisoned and mexicans are kept out via the trump wall. But hey... (sarcastic tone -->)" I'm pro-life so ban abortions and punish women" **just to clarify I'm not saying a 18 year old girl should have kids... but 5 abortions and your only 18.. WTF does it take to learn to use a condom! Some form of punishment should be in order.** Id love to see you guys do an episode evaluating the abortion matter without the "Trump/Political" aspect involved! Anyways I love tyt and keep doing the great work!
Given Mr. Matthews question was hypothetical, its basis was that if abortion was "illegal". If it was illegal, not only would the one committing it be guilty, the person soliciting the crime would be associated as well. If you solicit someone to commit a crime you are guilty, not a victim. So given the premise of the fictitious question, if abortion was "illegal" both the solicitor and committer would be involved in the crime. If a woman was forced against her will that is outside of the question. There should be punishment for the solicitor of a crime like there is for other crimes. So punishment for the solicitor of crime is not out of the question or unreasonable given the nature of the question.
Is the point Trump saying not just that if the law is don't have an abortion and you break the law and have an abortion, you are liable to a punishment of some sort??
When trump was being interviewed they phrased the question like this...if abortion was illegal do you think women should be charged for getting them. and if a woman had a unlicensed abortion, back ally or basement style, should she be charged. and he answered yes. but they're saying it as though it was hypothetically illegal.
+D Snow You keep throwing this comment out that they present a hypothetical as if it were mere--but it's a hypothetical that Trump wants as a reality. If I say I want to make something illegal, reading let's say, then I better be prepared for answering how this law will be administered. And not, we'll just punish librarians.
Isn't part of illegalizing abortion making that action punishable ? Should the woman who performs an illegal act be subject to a penalty ? That's the heart of the abortion problem. Should it be a law like a traffic violation where the violator gets a penalty? Sometimes these are life and death decisions. Is a human right for a woman to have that choice over her own body? What are the rights of the unborn fetus? Does the mother have a right to abort a fetus that is so far along medical advancements could possibly allow the baby to live? We have politicized this conversation so much I don't think anybody really thinks about it senssibly much at all.
+WinterMint The Sage they don't disagree with you as the person above me said cenk calls it a talk show. This is supposed to be a multiperson longform version of the daily show just more substance less humor. Whether you agree that they have achieved this or not is af course up to debate but around 3 million people on youtube and around 20 million people including all forms of social media watch these guys religiously they outpace every cable news show.
I'm starting to get a bit worried about the leftist position on abortion in the USA. I don't know how you define abortion but I would say that aborting a baby (feutus) at 8 months comes very close to murder. however, aborting pregnancy at the first couple of weeks would be nothing like murder because we are basically talking about of lump of cells.
you can rip him without misrepresenting him. @1:52 It wasn't "Do you think women should be able to exercise their constitutional rights..." It was: IF it is ILLEGAL, what should the punishment be? @4:10 He didn't say that he is going to try to make it illegal nationally. What he said is that he's pro life. And Chris Mathews posed the hypothetical of if it was banned nationally.
I don't know how you could ban abortion without sending people to jail. This just brought to light an issue people have ignored and now everyone has to face the truth that banning abortion would have to to result in women being punished.
The problem is that politicians are fundamentally incapable of simply saying "I don't know.", so when a politician like Trump says something that is incompatible with a supporter's personal view, they have to create this scenario in which their candidate was tricked into saying it. Trump could've easily said "I don't know", and then used the line Scottie said about it being a highly complicated issue. He didn't have to take a solid stance, but he did. We see this with other politicians as well. They'll say something on an issue they have no clue about, and then backtrack when they realise they said something bad. I will respect a candidate, or a person in general, if they say "I don't know, but ask me again in a week, and I'll have an educated response for you" as oppose to someone just steamrolling into the wrong position, and then trying to frame it as them being tricked, or forced into saying something.
+Karn McCloud Sanders is the ONLY one running in the US that has ANY integrity, honesty or compassion. Trust me, I live in one of those "scary" socialist countries, what he's proposing is not pie eyed or unreasonable. The politics in the US have been pushed SO FAR to the right that someone who is considered a regular progressive elsewhere is a radical in the US.
You are not a true sanders supporter if you think Trump is better than Clinton. I rather have four years of nothing done, then have trump destroy 50 years of progression through civil rights.
if its not under the 3 exceptions then I agree the mother should be accountable reason being women should make better choices and be responsible for their actions. There are safe havens available...Never a dull moment,HAVE FAITH & VOTE TRUMP
Last time i checked it takes 2 for a pregnancy to happen. And there are a lot of morons out there who will get a girl pregnant and disappear. What "pro lifers" really want is to punish people for having sex. Thats retardet.
+myheartmadeafist Some states are looking into it. A woman whose cocaine habit maybe caused her to miscarry was charged with murder in Mississippi. Another woman who miscarried after accidentally falling down the stairs was investigated over whether or not it was intentional, though eventually not charged. And so on. Why people think anti choice wants to punish women sure is a mystery, though!
Abortion is the result of self love self interest and the denial of selfless motherly love. If it looks like a baby it's because it is and if you want the right to infanticide then do it but don't call it a right
Abortion is often self defense. When your husband or boyfriend starts beating you in the belly after finding out you're pregnant, THEN you can tell us how you bravely took the beatings & gave birth to a dead child. And how proud you are of it. Assuming you survive, of course. Or better yet, the child somehow survives, badly damaged unable to walk or talk & you are forced to have joint custody with your loving ex-husband, who will beat you any time he gets drunk, or resents having to pay child support for a child he only half killed.
all the great crimes against each other let alone mother against child is justified because of the crimes of the few. Back street abortions killed perhaps 1000's now abortion kills 1000,000's of babies every year. The crimes of the few are used to change the straight and narrow path of the many until the road has become so inclusive as to mean nothing other than selfishness and self righteousness. There will always be the few crimes but these must not over turn the fine balance of humanity and its yearning to justify selfishness and turn selfishness and degradation into virtue.
Marilyn Newman If your husband or boyfriend is beating you why are you still with him, and why are you taking out your bad relationship on the child by aborting it ?

+kyle back then he was known as a celebrity more then a politician. Stupid comment
I'm a Brit and this was all over our papers and other news. I'd just like to say I'm disgusted, genuinely disgusted. I'm so confused that a man as stupid and bigoted as Trump could get this far in a supposed super power. I'm horrified that even when he says something as hideous as this, some of your citizens STILL support him. If he said that here he would be forced from his position, unquestionably. In fact most likely he would have been long before now. Greatest country in the word? That's not even remotely true, not any more.
+Jack Queen I'm an American btw, I agree. America is great and unique but best in the world? Saying this now is insane to even consider. It is worse that as an American that people legitimately believe in white supremacy and that abortion should be illegal - illegal in any sense, this includes teen rape victims that are too scared to look for the help and support that they need in a timely matter. Granted this is a worst case scenario, it can happen and the law should be ready for the worst. NOT TO MENTION getting an abortion is basically impossible in some states now, look at John Oliver's Last Week Tonight segment.
You miss the point, although I would not vote for Trump I have followed this election campaign closely and find that mainstream news in America is so biased, takes comments out of context and twist the facts. The are many issues you could challenge Trump on but instead news media go for sensationalism. Trump will make a unpractical statement about temporarily banning Muslims from potential insecure countries until better security measures are put in place and the media will say Trump is a racist because he wants to ban Muslims forever for no reason except their religion. Bush had a valid argument about isolating friendly Muslims countries but the media ignores rational arguments and goes for the Trump is a racist line.
+John Hart to even consider banning people of a religion for any amount of time is outrageous. Why don't Catholics get banned for the church sex scandal or groups like the ira, or how about banning Protestants for the nazis and kkk, or Jews for Zionism. That won't happen and shouldn't happen. That statement he said was as clear as day and as bigoted as it possibly could have been. Not to mention how impossible it would be to implement.
To be fair you all have a point on some level in my opinion. seagk1343 I have seen many John Oliver things regarding Trump and he's absolutely right about pretty much everything. As well as this, I think the irony of Trump saying he will make America great again whilst simultaneously destroying it has expired comically. Even the fact that you agreed with me regarding america not being the greatest country in the world and not attacking suggests the influence he has had. ***** It is outrageous, and the first time he said that (and we knew about it over here again due to his ignorance leading him to think he could comment on our country regarding the issue) I said that as well. I mean practically speaking it's ridiculous, never mind morally. You could say the exact same for his beloved "Wall" that he wants to build, considering how many illegal immigrants don't even enter that way (most travel by boat) and yet it will cost how much? And AGAIN you could say the same regarding his terrorist family killing policy considering 90% of terrorists families aid in efforts to capture said relations. We have a version of Trump over here. called Nigel Farage, and he's a joke. As in an actual punchline. He has little to no power or influence and every time he runs he looses by a greater margin. What I don't understand is why is that not happening with Trump over there? Why is he still being allowed to say these things and encourage violent behaviour? Why?
John Hart +John Hart Yes the media is biased and sensationalist, you're right, but the issue here is not that the media do that - it's that you and other Americans I've talked to don't EXPECT that. I mean why not? They're the media, of course they're going to do that. Personally I think this highlights a lack of critical thinking in America, a lack of critical thinking that allows people like Trump to gain power because he can say whatever he wants and people won't check it, they'll just believe. Maybe that's how fairies get their wings over there, I don't know the reason. I mean are you, as an American I presume, even aware that Trumps plans to create jobs (by slapping 35% tax on goods entering the US from offshore american businesses) will lead to mass inflation and unemployment? Are you aware that his tax plan will increase your national debt by a further $11 trillion by 2026, and raise GDP by 80% in the following decade? I mean why do I know that and I'm not even in America? Because I think critically and let evidence lead me to an opinion. Also a lack of critical thinking can be highlighted by the insistence on religion still not only being a thriving part of the society over there (in which believing blindly is encouraged no?) but influencing legislation such as the abortion issue for example. Why? Why is that happening? Religion, the best example there is of an organization based on no evidence and pure belief, still not only encouraged but almost a social requirement? Also despite the media being sensationalist, they also haven't been wrong - at least in the admittedly limited media press I have seen. I've seen quite a few now and I haven't disagreed. Why? Because all of them, even fox news, are against Trump. I don't think bias is really an issue regarding Trump in mainstream media over there any more, particularly whilst Trump makes it so incredibly easy for them.
I love my doctor he only took up practice a couple of months ago he spent all his life as an accountant and got bored. He says he doesn't need any medical qualifications because he is smart and he will know everything about open heart surgery after he has operated on me - what a guy!
It was totally a trap...he was asked a question by a journalist which required thinking, knowledge of the law and dare I say self reflection!
+Collene Kennedy Reality, a liberal trap.
Just the guy you want in the White House, a guy who learns as he goes.... fpalm
+Chad Boswell Wouldn't be so bad if he did learn. Anything. At all.
Paul Kennedy
Before or after he causes WW3? :P
Chad Boswell You're forgetting his response to questions in the interview where he couldn't tell Kurds from Quds and didn't care about the difference between Hamas and Hezbollah: "I will know far more than you know within 24 hours after I get the job."
That's going to be a hell of a 24 hours.
Reality baffles Fox News.
"He's learning as he goes" that's a terrible excuse.
It's crazy that they like Trump for just saying what he thinks people want to hear and when it isn't what people want to hear he changes it. I thought "flip flopping" was the biggest sin to the right? Lol
Trump perfectly embodies the statement "act first, think later."
IMO, Trump is having a party. He really could care less whether he wins or not.
+Mark A. Foster, Ph.D.
Free, 24/365 self promotion on all networks across the nation and the globe.
He's a knob but he knows how to play the game.
I agree. He can't be serious about this
He's a shit disturber.
to quote George Carlin, "Pro-life is anti-woman."
Trump's not the establishment? He's NOT the Establishment? He is LITERALLY THE ESTABLISHMENT.
+Jonatc87 He's not the establishment, because he's not party of the Republican party, he's just an independent running as a republican.
A "liberal media tactic" to ask questions about national issues and quote people accurately? Wow.
Trump on this issue is just like all his other "positions." Whatever he pulls out of his posterior at the moment is where he "stands."
I remember fox and friends saying. we don't need someone to learn on the job. When Obama ran the 1st time.
+Viper Venom (Snoopy3527) lol. I forgot about that, great point! I'll have to start pointing that out more.
Trump once again proved he is a fool. The intelligent answer from Trump to Mathews would have been "Presidential candidates and presidents in the U.S. do not determine who should be punished or how. That is a job for the courts. And besides, you are asking a hypothetical question as abortion is presently legal. " It really was not fair for Mathews to trick someone with the intellect of a five year old, although I enjoyed it immensely. "Kids Say The Darnedest Things."
+Mark Pork well said Mark!
hahaha very funny! and well said
What the American political process has become just sickens me.
For a second, I was expecting Andrea to blame Obama for Trump's abortion comment.
+Persis Johnson I just knew she was going to blame Obama. I am shocked that she did not do it.
They're basically saying "hey he hasn't learned how to lie like a politician yet give him time " lol smh you got to be kidding me ?
How is a person considered an outsider when they have been giving millions to politicians and running in this circle?
"He misspoke", "it was a trap"...if that is the case do we want someone that will misspeak and easily fall into a trap to be sitting across the table negotiating with Putin/China/fill in the blank. One of my favorite quotes every spoke by a president was, "I like to know what i'm talking about before i say it". BOOM!!!
Impressive feat of mental gymnastics by Andrea Tantaros. A less astute observer would just see another example of Trump being stunningly stupid and offensive all by himself, but Andrea thinks the Hillary camp somehow "trapped" Drumpf into being totally unfamiliar with the Constitution, Roe v Wade, or the fact that abortion is legal, and saying stupid, offensive nonsense; all as a clever part of their plot to unleash "their upcoming gender war".
Who but brilliant Andrea saw the big "upcoming gender war" so far in advance; who else could have known that the candidate (Hillary) that has been a lucrative investment for banks, the oil industry, Monsanto, Wal Mart etc, for decades; the Democratic party corporate insider, is really just softening us all up for her real agenda: the Gender Jihad!? And who knew Hillary's power was so great she can force Trump into saying stupid things (the "trap" she set for him), when she and her campaign isn't even present?
I'm an independent and socially liberal, and I was going to vote for Trump if nominated. But not now.
+Dorian McCloud All of his other ignorant comments didn't do it for you?
+Dorian McCloud why you are ok with baby murder?
+pingpong wigwom A fetus is not a grown baby, nor is an acorn a tree. You're pro birth, not pro life. Are you going to take care of the baby after it's born?
Lord Levrion a baby is not an adult. you have no argument. the parents should take care of their baby,
pingpong wigwom oh your poor poor brain, i pray that maybe someday you'll learn to use it,....Maybe you could find a new hobby besides getting worked up over youtube comments
I really don't believe pro-life people understand the outcome of outlawing abortion or they are just being disingenuous when they say they do not want to punish the mother. Criminalizing something requires a negative consequence to enforce. So if it becomes outlawed and doctors will not do it anymore, what happens when a woman does the abortion themselves??! Do we honestly believe that pro-lifers will not want to punish the mother. We already have evidence to the contrary when women are being prosecuted when miscarriages occur.
+CarbonAtom14 Also, you will just create a "market" for illegal abortions.
+CarbonAtom14 i think we do understand the outcome. it should be illegal still. either that or we should allow men to have an opt out. equality under the law.
I AM PRO CHOICE I THINK IT SHOULD BE THE LADY'S CHOICE...JUST SAYING
shut up idiot
Reporter: President Trump, why did you give the order to drop a battlefield nuclear weapon on a civilian population in Mississippi?
Trump: I misspoke, I thought I was ordering coffee.
Literally frighting that this guy could wield any true power ever!
+Mr Grumblebum Yeah that is scary. Whoops another bankrupted company? Whoops another nuke just got away.
His abortion comments were exactly what the anti-abortion fundamentalists wanted to hear and agree with. What Trump did not do was use coded language, and instead Trump just says it plainly. Ha Ha.
+Gregory Wonderwheel #ProLife
+Gregory Wonderwheel But, he said it in a hurtful way. The proper way to address it is , "women exercising their constitutional rights for reproductive freedom", or pro choice. Do not offend me again!!
+Gregory Wonderwheel lol, you speak the truth.
+Noel Makarth is reproductive freedom a constitutional right? I don't remember it being one. guess i will have to look unless you know where it is at
Aidan Hodge Talks that's what the guy in the video said.
He needs to be able to answer the questions regardless of whether he's "learning as he goes". He doesn't get a free pass to the presidency because he's new. If abortion became illegal, however, it would be because of the determination that an unborn child is considered a person, thus making abortion some form of murder. Thus, the mother would be conspiring to commit murder or whatever with the doctor. Trump saying that she should be punished makes sense under these circumstances, and I am no Trump supporter.
+Pascal Schackmann Oh I totally agree that he flip flops/lies. I just don't agree that women would be blameless in this situation with all that it implies. Both Ted Cruz and John Kasich said that women shouldn't be punished, but it doesn't make sense considering their pro-life stance. It just seems like those two are just trying to be politically correct, rather than think critically about the issue and what they really believe.
The question was, "If abortion was illegal......?" Well, if it was illegal, all involved with an abortion would face legal consequences. Women having an abortion would be complicit in the crime! Please, stop twisting the news against Trump!
+poptart 523 The entire justification for the argument against abortion is that it's "murder" of an unborn child. If people believe that argument, and they manage to make abortion illegal because of it, then how does it not follow that the doctor, the woman, and anyone else involved with helping to make that abortion happen should be punished?
Frankly, the negative reaction Trump's getting from people who are otherwise calling for abortion to be illegal seems incredibly hypocritical. Note: I'm not one of those people.
+poptart 523 ~ No you moron. If abortion was illegal, the law would require that all who participated in it would be punished. That's what Trump should have said, and what he intended to say.
if Trump think before he speaks he wouldn't have this problem, who do he think he is??? l can't believe people do not have a mind of there own and can't see right though him.
What amazes me is that "right-to-lifers" think abortion is murder, but that soliciting someone to commit murder (i.e. hiring someone to perform an abortion) should not be considered a crime.
+Paul Peterson Exactly! I don't get it either.
Everyone in the process should be subject to miser charges. Including the father who pressures the women to have an abortion.
I wish I was american so I could vote for Bernie Sanders
+andres lora I wish you were, too.
Intelligent.
Why are the people who fight so hard against abortion not care about the children once their born? It's like they want to get you here then you're on your own who cares if your one day old.
+rockyea85 I hope English is not your first language.
+Kingsley Zissou It doesn't change the truth of what he said. It's the hypocrisy of those who argue against abortion. They care about the fetus inside the womb but do not care what happens to it later. It is a question that has not been answered, and probably will not be. Hence the whole red-versus-blue debate for years upon years.
rockyea85
Because bad grammar indicates stupidity. If you don't care about grammar than you can just ignore people's comments about your bad grammar.
Or you could ignore my bad grammar. Either way abortion is not murder and it should remain legal.
+rockyea85 i think its murder, and that it should still be legal.
Honestly I'm surprised they haven't blamed Obama yet.
+Person Oisels Just wait. TYT always proves that they are the uncrowned kings of the intellectual low of the internet.
+Bálint Czuppon Your comment makes no sense.
In reality, Trump doesn't have a position on anything. It's just a persona he adopts that requires him to say things that ultimately are going to contradict themselves!
Parents have been Fox News watchers my whole life. Never have I been so disgusted with the channel than with their attempts to excuse Trump.
+Cherrie Getison My 18 yr old and his friends like Bernie. They think Trump is just an attention-seeking idiot.
+Leek Alicious I've succeeded in convincing my pro-Bernie friends to switch to trump, it's not that hard when you reveal the media bias against him.
Fox certainly paints him as an underdog. Also, how do you convince people to switch from their candidate that the msm is against to your candidate that the msm is against, purely with the reason that the msm is against your candidate?
Black_Wink Whatever. I guess the fact that he insulted Mexico doesn't bother you. www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/
Cherrie Getison They seem to. My son doesn't like the racism and the way the protesters are treated. The younger ones don't put up with that old shit.
did she said 'he's learning has he goes"... learning how to be the president of a super power ????
+Antonio Alvarez Learning as he goes? Great! "Hey, Melania....what does this button do?"
I am not the only person who finds Trump's mouthpiece "Scottie" completely odious, disingenuous and intellectually and morally repugnant, am I? I sincerely believe not. Like this post if you agree: let's just see how 'popular' she is...?
Hypothetically speaking, if marijuana where made illegal, should we prosecute those who try to buy it?
IF it is Illegal then there must be a trial in response to lawbreaking. Abortion should be free on demand , with an option for a stipend of 10K to have a tubal ligation concurrently.
+Jeff Brasfield They won't even let women on social services get a tubal ligation in case they want more kids in the future. It's ridiculous.
They should give them 10K to do it.
***** Had a friend who left her abusive spouse with her two kids and birth control doesn't work on her. She wanted the procedure so she wouldn't have any more children, in case he y'know found her and raped her. Well she has 3 kids now he's in jail and she finally got her damned procedure. Their reasoning: "You might want more kids someday." She thought that was the most bullshit thing ever.
She finally got out of the programs but seriously. Another baby costs waaaay more than that 10k in taxpayer money.
Okay, hands up who thought Fox was going to blame Obama for Trump's comment.
ok for DRUMPF to know nothing about anything as a 68 year old according to Fox
The fact that so many people are shocked by Trump's statement is ridiculous. Yes, if abortion was to be made illegal, then the women that had abortions would be punished. Obviously. This is a fundamental, basic idea for the enforcement of laws. Same thing with taxes, if you don't pay, you're punished. If you don't stop at a stop sign, you're punished, ad infinitum.
+Luke Hamilton But the modern left, as well as pussies on the right, put women on a pedestal and get offended at the slightest hint that women should be held to the same standards as men. It's completely insane, but that's what feminism has done to our society, one that used to be based on justice and equality, until feminism took over.
I'm here to do . Vote for me. My is better than other solutions. Let's make our country .
again
is your profile picture an ugly dude you just earned my vote
basically.
he was asked if it was illegal, should there be a punishment... stop twisting the truth... if it is illegal, it is illegal, and there will be punishment
Fox news baffled. The tide comes in, the tide goes out. It's all baffling :)
if this was a court room its called leading the witness the reporter should of allowed Trump to say the women should be punished instead the reporter phrased it to be a yes or no answer and frankly i feel that the way the question was phrased he jumped the gun and answered what he thought the question was going to be , i even thought he was going to say the doctors should be punished he was rather quick to clarify what he intended to say. when you are defending yourself on three different fronts . THE democrats, THE MEDIA and the republican party that's a lot on someones plate he corrected it they should let it go . The obama administration which hilary is a major part of bold faced lied to the supreme court and gets caught she needs to go to prison. obama needs to be impeached and tried for treason for arming and aide to our sworn enemies that and releasing ISIS leader and 4 of their top military advisers should be plenty f grounds to try and convict obama NOT ALLOWW HIM ANOTHER 10 MONTHS TO FINISH OFF THIS COUNTRY
+jinitron i am pro life but just as i wouldn't want anyone to tell me i have to or i can't do something with my body its a woman's choice but if the law states you have a time limit to do it then both the doctor and the woman should have consequences for the doctor suspend their licences for a year and if caught again loose their licences the woman should have to attend classes first offence explaining the whole process of the abortion and if caught again she should not be allowed to have kids . that may seem harsh but so is killing a child twice if she doesn't want it get the abortion with in the time limit the law allows or even better put it up for adoption. Now as far as brain washed if you think that the politicians in Washington have any compassion for anyone but themselves and Obama isn't purposely undermining this country to the point of its destruction , he has all of our rights sewed up in all those executive orders, he released the leader of ISIS and 4 of his top military strategists with out consulting anyone, then he arms and funds them, our sworn enemies that we are at war with. He traded a deserter and a traitor who help kill members of his own squad by explaining what procedures they would and where to place the explosives, he is flooding this country with thousands of Muslims not knowing if they are affiliated with terrorist organizations or where they are really coming from with the majority of them males of fighting age, he gives iran 150 billion dollars and doesn't ask about our prisoners plus gives them the ability to start up their nuclear program again but , with the 150 billion he gave them they can just go buy a nuclear missile, he is forcing the US citizens to get the governments health care after making statements for months and months you can keep your doctor knowing that wasn't true, selling guns to Mexican drug cartels and at the same time trying to disarm he US citizens. They are all criminals with the same agenda and now they finally come out and say that we as citizens have no say on what they do and choose to represent us , and sadly we only find this out because they had to make it public so they can explain the outlandish corruption and illegal actions to keep Trump out of the White House for the sole purpose that he truly wants to try to save this country and isn't bought and paid for like almost every politician in Washington.
he is a threat to unbelievable power and money that the special interests have , and is a threat to money flow they give all those politicians. If they are all against Trump it cant be just that he is unqualified its because he is not a part of all their corruption and illegal actions. oh if you are at war with someone you don't open your borders and flood your country with the same people you are at war with
wht is wrong about punishing someone who does abortion, which is in a way a murderer.
+frank salifu if you believe abortion is murder, the one getting an abortion should logically be charged with murder. Don't see what Trump say is outrageous.
+stevenjm12 because your an Idiot!
I love how Trump will always answers questions with unclear or unjust logic about the law, are sweep under the rug by saying "miss spoke".
It is kind of a trap question. But the problem is not "librels" who ask the question. It is to do with the orthodoxy of the right not being morally consistent. If abortion is the equivalent of killing or muder, then the woman should be held responsible to some extent.That is not my position. I am pro choice. But if you follow their bible logic to its ultimate conclusion, women should be held accountable. Of course, women would not like it so they go after the doctors and the clinics. Cowards.
+Haannibal777 Especially because some states in the US already punish women who miscarry if they think the woman "did something" to cause the miscarriage. We already have some women in jail over this. It's not a leap in logic.
If anything, I love how pro-lifers are now scrambling to defend their position when Trump pushed it to it's logical conclusion.
I'm legit surprised that Andrea Tantaros didn't blame Obama in that clip. xD
......If the question was hypothetical then the answer is fine. If its illegal, and you do it, then you should be punished.
I don't get why Trumps comments were such a big surprise
+Sienna Barlow i agree, he's said many stupid things before
so let me get this right. Ppl who do illegal things shouldn't face the courts and punishment, you Americans r crazy.
+Ntwadumela So instead of taking a saying it is right or wrong to follow the law you give me a derogatory label? great debating skills!
Fox viewers are old retards full of hate who want to hear bull shit 24/7 because they think that if Fox lies about something, somehow it's the truth and the rest of the country is watching the same bull shit too and will now understand how things really are and it's liberals fault.
+Fay Ryuujin Tell them bro
+Fay Ryuujin It's the classic, 'throw shit against the wall and see if some of it will stick.' Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly, Beck, Faux all use that strategy.
limit viagra clinics to 1 per state until women truly receive ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE FOR THEIR RIGHTS AS A HUMAN.
You could limit Viagra clinics to one for the whole United States and then we would still have more than we need.
For me the Pro Life movement doesn't make any sense. Why would you as a normal human being interfere with something that is literally none of your concern and doesn't affect you, your life or anyone else around you at all? When i think of supporters of this movement i imagine people that are frustrated and bored by their own lifes so they need to pick on someone else and the politicians that are also in favor of this movement giving in to those bored angry goons and channeling their voices just for their profit or maybe because they're also angry and bored.
+FolonRNG murder effects all of us.
+pingpong wigwam Abortion isn't murder. Go back to your 10th grade biology class.
+eve n They are cells, they are living things. Go back to your 9th grade biology class.
eve n i have an undergraduate degree in biology. abortion kills a human being. maybe you should go to college biology.
+FolonRNG are you insane? do you realize it takes two to have a baby? The baby or fetus, if you want to dehumanize someone, is just as much a ;man's child, as it is the woman's. How about some equal rights for men? And what about the babies rights? the only reason why some men support abortion is they don't want to pay child support.
By the way, for people who weren't aware, Donald Trump also tweeted out the other day something along the lines of "We need to end video game violence - it's creating monsters!". So, yeah. That's the guy you're voting for.

I'm losing track of the number of times Trump has 'mispoke'
tea partiers and trumpists should be best friends with taliban. they have so much in common.
I agree with Hilary's "It's a gender war" statement. Thats what they want..
4.55 its a trap...how dare they ask trump a complicated question XD
I can't believe Trump fell for this trap; Hillary drooled over this for sure. I go as far to say that Trump will never recover from this blow.
+TheLyon11 he's gotten through just about every blow the media has used to alter his message so i doubt this will stop him.
+04mzwach Not this time. Making women criminals is not the kind of blow a politician can recover from in a Democratic/Capitalist society, even Trump. Women pack a lot of power these days and they are proactive on matters that affect them, especially on important matters such as this. Trump does not stand a chance now.
+TheLyon11 the problem with your opinion is that Trump didn"t say he wanted to punish women for abortion. The context was if they broke federal law, he would see them punished. As far as i know, despite saying he is pro-life, he doesn't have any plans to make abortion illegal nation wide.
+Aidan Hodge Talks I don't know if you are saying that because you want to protect Trump or because you are 100% ignorant. Which is it?
TheLyon11 i am saying that because people are responding to trigger words, sound bites, and the opinions of the media instead of listening to what the candidates are actually saying and the context in which it was said. This is fairly evident in regards to trump and bernie sanders.
LMAO@"learning as he goes" btw, here's the country.
"It's obvious he misspoke"! LMFAO! Brilliant ! Fox 'News' ought to keep that quote on standby! He's gonna keep saying jackass stuff for months to come
surprisingly i agree with trump on this...
+Sunny Davison Why?
I left this comment on a different video on the Young Turks chanel... but it explains why I agree with him ..
+the young turks and commentors. I think realistically there isn't a yes or no answer to a question like this. If you look at it from an unbiased point of view you can see how abortions can be both detrimental but also beneficial. On the beneficial side of abortions; if a woman gets pregnant as a result of rape then atleast she doesn't have to live with that "consequence" for the next 18+ years of her life. On the other hand, (from a personal experience) I know of a 18 year old girl who has had 5 abortions in her life already with her first one when she was just 15.. she admitted it herself and laughed it off! She was dating my best friend(21yo) and two of them were with him, both of which he was against. He dated another girl after her who also aborted his baby without any say from him what so ever(although it was her first one she was taking preventative measures like birth control and trying to use condoms in the first place and she wanted to go to school etc and had ambitions in her life that would be just impossible if she had a baby-- and was distraught by the whole experience!). For all three of his pregnancy's he was of sound mind, financially capable and independent and wanted his babies even if the mother didn't want to be involved. I think the solution to this would be that you can have the first one.. no questions asked because we do have to factor in the fact that everyone makes mistakes but every time after you have to obtain abortion via court order, unless the situation is life threatening to the mother similar to how they issue warrants for arrest/search etc. In this way a judge can form an unbiased decision weighing all the factors involved i.e.. the circumstances of the pregnancy, mental stability of the mother and father, and certainly the financial capabilities of the mother and father. In this way perhaps the father can have equal representation on the matter! If it takes two to make a baby, why only one to kill it? Im sorry but the moment my child is growing in another human being it is no longer JUST her body... that child is 50% mine and carrying my genes. This isn't even in the United States... this is in Canada where you can walk in and have an abortion whenever, free of charge with zero consequence & no questions asked ever. I don't think this is a religious debate rather a spiritual and logical one and at the end of the day many of these "pro-life" are hypocrites. they jump fences to defend unborn children meanwhile syrian refugees are turned away, african americans are shot every day, people are unjustly imprisoned and mexicans are kept out via the trump wall. But hey... (sarcastic tone -->)" I'm pro-life so ban abortions and punish women" **just to clarify I'm not saying a 18 year old girl should have kids... but 5 abortions and your only 18.. WTF does it take to learn to use a condom! Some form of punishment should be in order.** Id love to see you guys do an episode evaluating the abortion matter without the "Trump/Political" aspect involved! Anyways I love tyt and keep doing the great work!

Given Mr. Matthews question was hypothetical, its basis was that if abortion was "illegal". If it was illegal, not only would the one committing it be guilty, the person soliciting the crime would be associated as well. If you solicit someone to commit a crime you are guilty, not a victim. So given the premise of the fictitious question, if abortion was "illegal" both the solicitor and committer would be involved in the crime. If a woman was forced against her will that is outside of the question. There should be punishment for the solicitor of a crime like there is for other crimes. So punishment for the solicitor of crime is not out of the question or unreasonable given the nature of the question.
I remember when Ana destroyed Scottie Hughes on CNN.
+musicksol she didnt destroy anything other than her career.
I'm surprised no one blamed Obama.
Andrea Tantaros is now Admiral Akbar " Its a trap!!"
Is the point Trump saying not just that if the law is don't have an abortion and you break the law and have an abortion, you are liable to a punishment of some sort??
+Mary Hollingsworth Yes, and whether or not it SHOULD be a law.
When trump was being interviewed they phrased the question like this...if abortion was illegal do you think women should be charged for getting them. and if a woman had a unlicensed abortion, back ally or basement style, should she be charged. and he answered yes. but they're saying it as though it was hypothetically illegal.
+D Snow You keep throwing this comment out that they present a hypothetical as if it were mere--but it's a hypothetical that Trump wants as a reality. If I say I want to make something illegal, reading let's say, then I better be prepared for answering how this law will be administered. And not, we'll just punish librarians.
Isn't part of illegalizing abortion making that action punishable ? Should the woman who performs an illegal act be subject to a penalty ? That's the heart of the abortion problem. Should it be a law like a traffic violation where the violator gets a penalty? Sometimes these are life and death decisions. Is a human right for a woman to have that choice over her own body? What are the rights of the unborn fetus? Does the mother have a right to abort a fetus that is so far along medical advancements could possibly allow the baby to live? We have politicized this conversation so much I don't think anybody really thinks about it senssibly much at all.
To be honest TYT is more of a talk show then a news show.
+WinterMint The Sage You're just coming to this conclusion? I've heard Cenk call it a talk show before.
+WinterMint The Sage they don't disagree with you as the person above me said cenk calls it a talk show. This is supposed to be a multiperson longform version of the daily show just more substance less humor. Whether you agree that they have achieved this or not is af course up to debate but around 3 million people on youtube and around 20 million people including all forms of social media watch these guys religiously they outpace every cable news show.
+Eli Gutman sorry had to go check. They outpace every cable news show added up* not just individually.
I'm starting to get a bit worried about the leftist position on abortion in the USA. I don't know how you define abortion but I would say that aborting a baby (feutus) at 8 months comes very close to murder. however, aborting pregnancy at the first couple of weeks would be nothing like murder because we are basically talking about of lump of cells.
+Tom Geurken No1 has an abortion at 8 months unless it is because the mother will die if not, or severe deformities. IE actual medical reasons.
guhhhh i really wanted to watch this video, until i noticed it was by TYT..
you can rip him without misrepresenting him.
@1:52
It wasn't "Do you think women should be able to exercise their constitutional rights..."
It was: IF it is ILLEGAL, what should the punishment be?
@4:10
He didn't say that he is going to try to make it illegal nationally.
What he said is that he's pro life. And Chris Mathews posed the hypothetical of if it was banned nationally.
A Trap!?! Whatever Andrea Akbar
I don't know how you could ban abortion without sending people to jail. This just brought to light an issue people have ignored and now everyone has to face the truth that banning abortion would have to to result in women being punished.
TRUMP 2016!
If something is illegal and someone is committing that illegal act, should they be excused based on their sex?
+MrTruam
Apparently to many, if the sex is female, yes.
Trump 2016 and 2020 !!
Then its all over for the USA.
I meant terrorist scummm! sorry franko-roni
You tell that to the families that are wiped out.
We really don't need arrabs living here moron. You talk about fires. You going to see a lot of them.
Again. I wont you back here when there is another Mass Killing in the USA. Okay.?
The problem is that politicians are fundamentally incapable of simply saying "I don't know.", so when a politician like Trump says something that is incompatible with a supporter's personal view, they have to create this scenario in which their candidate was tricked into saying it. Trump could've easily said "I don't know", and then used the line Scottie said about it being a highly complicated issue. He didn't have to take a solid stance, but he did.
We see this with other politicians as well. They'll say something on an issue they have no clue about, and then backtrack when they realise they said something bad. I will respect a candidate, or a person in general, if they say "I don't know, but ask me again in a week, and I'll have an educated response for you" as oppose to someone just steamrolling into the wrong position, and then trying to frame it as them being tricked, or forced into saying something.
Still rather vote for Trump than Hillary.
+Karn McCloud Sanders is the ONLY one running in the US that has ANY integrity, honesty or compassion. Trust me, I live in one of those "scary" socialist countries, what he's proposing is not pie eyed or unreasonable. The politics in the US have been pushed SO FAR to the right that someone who is considered a regular progressive elsewhere is a radical in the US.
+Karn McCloud Oh no, its retarded.
MLGMagnesium Wow, way to prove your point!
Lori Burnip I am a Bernie Supporter, but worst comes to worst, i'm not going to vote for Hillary.
You are not a true sanders supporter if you think Trump is better than Clinton. I rather have four years of nothing done, then have trump destroy 50 years of progression through civil rights.
if its not under the 3 exceptions then I agree the mother should be accountable reason being women should make better choices and be responsible for their actions. There are safe havens available...Never a dull moment,HAVE FAITH & VOTE TRUMP
So, what do you do with women who miscarry? How do you prove it wasn't intentional?
Last time i checked it takes 2 for a pregnancy to happen. And there are a lot of morons out there who will get a girl pregnant and disappear. What "pro lifers" really want is to punish people for having sex. Thats retardet.
+myheartmadeafist Some states are looking into it. A woman whose cocaine habit maybe caused her to miscarry was charged with murder in Mississippi. Another woman who miscarried after accidentally falling down the stairs was investigated over whether or not it was intentional, though eventually not charged. And so on. Why people think anti choice wants to punish women sure is a mystery, though!
Trump 2016 bitches!
Trump and Fox noise are trying to out stupid the other.
Abortion is the result of self love self interest and the denial of selfless motherly love. If it looks like a baby it's because it is and if you want the right to infanticide then do it but don't call it a right
Abortion is often self defense. When your husband or boyfriend starts beating you in the belly after finding out you're pregnant, THEN you can tell us how you bravely took the beatings & gave birth to a dead child. And how proud you are of it. Assuming you survive, of course.
Or better yet, the child somehow survives, badly damaged unable to walk or talk & you are forced to have joint custody with your loving ex-husband, who will beat you any time he gets drunk, or resents having to pay child support for a child he only half killed.
all the great crimes against each other let alone mother against child is justified because of the crimes of the few. Back street abortions killed perhaps 1000's now abortion kills 1000,000's of babies every year. The crimes of the few are used to change the straight and narrow path of the many until the road has become so inclusive as to mean nothing other than selfishness and self righteousness. There will always be the few crimes but these must not over turn the fine balance of humanity and its yearning to justify selfishness and turn selfishness and degradation into virtue.
Marilyn Newman If your husband or boyfriend is beating you why are you still with him, and why are you taking out your bad relationship on the child by aborting it ?
Olesya .Leary they can do whatever they want unless your ass is a woman stfu
slapmyfunkybass why do u care
Since republicans like Donald trump because he speaks his mind, it's no doubt that their perfect ticket would feature a drunk who's running mate is a 5 year old
+DCMBR I can't wait to see who is stupid enough to be his running mate ... I don't know how they could get worse than Palin, but a Trump running mate simply has to be worse ...
