GREG GUTFELD (CO-HOST): The other issue is, you know, the Dems are losing men faster than JLo. How does Harris address that in the debate? Is that even possible? Jesse mentioned all of these issues that have to do with safety and security -- defunding police, pro-BLM riots, she praised Jussie Smollett -- remember? Compared that to a lynching. She's done nothing about the crime wave. She's released illegals who reoffend, I don't think she's done much in terms of cop killers, in terms of pushing the death penalty.

Men care about this stuff, maybe it's biological, but shouldn't women care, as well? How come women don't care? I think they do, but they have been told to care about one thing and that is abortion. But thankfully, the Supreme Court and Trump have decoupled abortion, right? It's not a national issue anymore, it's off the table. So, women don't have to be single issue voter anymore, they don't have to ignore crime, immigration, inflation, energy, education -- all of these huge issues, what we would call the rest of the world. You don't have to just vote based on what Planned Parenthood demands of you. You know, he's already said he's against the national ban, so the right to choose is now a state issue which is closer to the voter.

I bring this up because this is going to come up tomorrow and Trump just needs to say, "This is not part of my decision-making, it's now back to you."

So, a vote for or against Trump, from a woman, has no impact on the issue of abortion. Has no impact, the Dems don't want you to know that. They're very reductive. If you're a woman, it has to be about abortion, how insulting is that? How stereotypical is that that you can't think about inflation, that you can't think about foreign policy? "Ooh, that's not important, it's my right to choose." Not on the table.

JESSICA TARLOV (CO-HOST): Well, why did Trump flip flop on it?

GUTFELD: He never did.

TARLOV: He did last week, on how he's going to vote in Florida.

GUTFELD: I just told you --

TARLOV: He said he knows that a six week abortion ban is draconian, and then when I guess he heard from his big donors, said, "Ah, you know what? I'm just going to let it go."

GUTFELD: That doesn't -- this is a state thing, it's closer to voters. I mean, you can bring that up, that doesn't -- that's like playing in the weeds. What I'm talking about right now is the issue is decoupled from the election.

JEANINE PIRRO (CO-HOST): Right, it's not an issue in terms of what has happened, it's left to the states. Women can vote in the states.
