Daily Show Claims Pro-Life Men Are ';A Ridiculous Embarrassment';

Comedy Centrals The Daily Show brought out all the cringe on Thursday as temp host Michael Kosta labeled a recent Fox Business segment between Mark Simone and Larry Kudlow discussing abortion as a ridiculous embarrassment. That led him to do a sketch with Jordan Klepper where the two pretended to be stereotypical macho men who claimed to be pro-life‚ but also didnt know how babies are made or what an abortion is.Kosta wrapped up the straightforward monologue on the FBN segment by introducing the sketch‚ Now‚ a panel of men talking about abortion might seem like a ridiculous embarrassment for everyone involved‚ but I actually think it';s a great idea for our new segment‚ Men talk about abortion.";Kosta talks about abortion all the time‚ so he really means pro-life men discussing abortion. Still‚ complete with bad wigs and fake cigars‚ he asked‚ Alright‚ let';s get right to it‚ man to man. What';s your solution for abortion?Referencing remarks Simone made in the clip‚ Klepper replied‚ Okay‚ easy peasy‚ lemon squeezy. Alright‚ if a woman needs an abortion‚she should just take the bus toa state where it';s legal.After claiming that having had some testicular injury qualifies him to render such judgments‚ Kosta added that I know it';s frustrating for women‚ but we can';t allwe have rights some places and other places we don';t. For example‚ I';m not allowed to go to the Epcot food court anymore because apparently you can';t Do that to the funnel cakes. I mean‚ Double standards? Double standards?Klepper also urged women to accept their stance‚ Look‚ look‚ women are making too big a deal about all of this. Look‚ I';ve never had to walk through a line of protesters to get basic health care‚ but I have had to make eye contact with the woman at Walgreens while buying a pack of slim-fit Trojan condoms! So‚ sometimes you got to get past feeling judged‚ ladies!Kosta affirmed Klepper and wondered‚ You are brave‚ my broham and by the way‚ what about thefather';s rights?... Right!Are you a father?Klepper declared that he wasnt because I haven';t quite figured out how it works yet. I do know boobs are involved‚ though‚ you know. How about you?";Not only did Kosta report not being a father‚ he claimed to not be able to find a date‚ Yeah‚ I haven';t found the right lady. I was in a relationship for several years‚ but she turned out to be a raccoon and she tricked me out of my credit card!Starting to break character‚ Klepper relayed a similar expierence‚ Tale as old as time period‚ player‚ tale as old as time. In fact‚ my ex was three possums in a trench coat! Just‚ you knowpoint ispoint is when it comes to women';s rights‚ we get it!Wrapping it up‚ Kosta finally asked‚ What is an abortion?Klepper again pleaded ignorance‚ Not a clue.Not a clue.But‚ but‚ but‚ I think the boobs areonce again involved.The inverse of its funny because its true is its not funny because its not true‚ and this bit about pro-life men being irredeemably dumb fails because pro-life men are keenly aware of what abortion is and how babies are made.Here is a transcript for the April 11 show:Comedy Central The Daily Show4/11/202411:06 PM ETMICHAEL KOSTA: Now‚ a panel of men talkingabout abortion might seem like aridiculous embarrassment foreveryone involved‚ but Iactually think it';s a great ideafor our new segment‚ ";Men talkabout abortion.";KOSTA [IN CHARACTER]: Yeah‚ yeah‚ alright! alright‚ you know it!Yeah!Joining me now ismy main bro‚ my main man‚ youre just like me‚ arent you?
