12:02 am
a presidential contest will mean voice future in the united states, the race for the white house has reached what's traditionally been one of its pivotal moments super tuesday. that's the day when the largest number of states voted for the preferred democratic and republican presidential candidates. this time 15 state says voting, including the 2 most populous texas and california and the us territory of american symbol. the outcome of the democratic contest in i will also be announced. but there isn't really much of a context this time. donald trump, the 9 who tried to overturn his 2020 election last is the republican party sponsors on a former. are you in a box that are nikki haley who's drums, soul challenger, has lost decisively in almost all primary contest, including at home stage, south carolina. hayley has no clear path to plain to nomination, but she has about to stay in the re saying it's her duty to give voters a choice. now on the other hand, do you have joe biden,
12:03 am
who may be struggling and opinion polls, but he has no real challenge. and these primaries is support for his ras. one, gaza treated protests votes in michigan where people voted uncommitted in the primary until the tuesday activists have launched a similar campaign in colorado. but that will not really affect the presidential rematch like no other in november. donald trump, the 1st president in us history to be criminally charged, is going to be up against the oldest president joe biden. sounds familiar? well, for americans in a divided nation, there's much at stake, the economy cost of living, racial and income inequality and reproductive rights. i was just there as team of correspondence. i live in washington dc, florida, north carolina, virginia and texas. to take us to what matters most for americans and what americans choices mean for the rest of the world. they start with our white house
12:04 am
correspondent, kimberly hockey tours in washington. kimberly, again, not a major, you know, surprise expected in the super tuesday contest for the democrats present biden is on challenge, but a spacing trump with some really low approval numbers. this is the question that is a problem for joe biden. his approval ratings have been and remain among the lowest of his presidency. let's take a look at some of those numbers. in fact, as of last month, jo bivens approval rating has dropped to about 37 percent. and that's according to a reuters is suppose pull added has stayed below 50 percent since 2021. that's not what the white house wants. that's the typical threshold for income candidates who are seeking another term. now, in a poll conducted last month,
12:05 am
67 percent of respondents said by then was too old to serve another term and folly. only 37 percent said joe biden is mentally fit for another 4 years. but the u. s. media has often focused on joe by this age, while the sample also found but 51 percent of respondents said that the for president donald trump is also not mentally fit for the presidency. so what i can tell you is the message coming out of this white house has really been one trying to challenge that narrative, trying to focus on the successes of the last 4 years of the biden administration. take a listen of us president joe biden has always been known in washington as a man who speaks his mind. don't listen to rumsfeld. he doesn't know what the hell
12:06 am
he's talking about. but since his election in 2025 and his mind has shown signs of slowing down and, you know, initially present mexico, c. c did not want to open up the gate to law. he met the president of egypt, not mexico, but mixing up world leaders names. occasionally. i'm able to recall basic facts and even his walk all signal that it 815 in is every bit showing his age as the oldest president in us history. in fact, it's a concern for many american voters. it's definitely not something i really like the political powers from the ninety's and stayed in for too long. finding has plenty of good news to run on. the economy's improve steadily under his watch growing 3 percent in just the past year. his popular trillion dollar infrastructure bills creating jobs and revitalizing the nation's roads, airports,
12:07 am
and bridget's still biden's. declining cognitive ability is overshadowing his accomplishments. the white house's countering this with a social media campaign, including take talk videos to attract younger voters and down play perceptions about his age. you're kidding. biden's team says there's no need to defend the president's mental acuity. the president doesn't need a cognitive test. he passes the cognitive tests every day, every day as he moves from one topic to another topic. it's not like 5 and will likely be facing a young opponent come november. wow. all signs indicate another match up with former us president donald trump. but at age 77, trump also struggles publicly at times to remember basic information, a building on what you just said there in your report. kimberly, how much of
12:08 am
a concern are uncommitted voters, particularly in colorado for the democrats? well, it's a major concern, and we've already seen this as a problem with uncommitted voters and states like michigan where there is a sizable air of american population. more than a 100000 and voted uncommitted when that state has its primary, we're going to see the option for voting uncommitted and a handful of states. but colorado, as you mentioned, there's a major protest boat going on there. and it has a lot to do with the president's israel policies, particularly israel's war on gaza and the president's support of israel. and there is another factor involved there to in colorado. the fact that the supreme court handed donald trump a victory adding him and allowing him to appear on the ballot in colorado. so the fact that donald trump appears there and there could be this protest vote, has made it a brother problem addict for the president. you could see
12:09 am
a lot of people just choosing not as important. so by and that's what we said in recent days. not only vice president comma harris calling for an immediate cease fire in israel's war in gaza, but also joe biden say we must get more aid to gaza and we need a cease fire. but skeptics are saying it's a little bit too much little too late in terms of the rhetoric. so this is certainly a problem registering on the president's radar again because he needs those voters, but again, a lot of skepticism poly. kimberly, thank you for that. kimberly hawk is live there at the white house on the republican side, more than one 3rd of the delegates are at stake tonight and for the trump campaign is not about whether he can change the presidential nomination. but how soon poll suggests he will gain an almost unbeatable lead in several contests around the country. it will be the 3rd time, a man who insists he is still an outside. we'll have won the nomination and a run for the country's top job. and as island fisher reports,
12:10 am
is the keywords is make america great. again, movements takeover of the republican party. years ago, he enters politics as a sales style disruptor. fighting against the democrats and the republican establishment. donald trump is the establishment, at least for conservatives, effectively seizing control of one of the oldest political parties in america. this was a hostile takeover. and so what you are seeing are people who are not necessarily republicans, but you are seeing people who are trapped loyalists. and so they have taken over the republican party despite losing a presidential election in 2020, his control is not even stronger. it punishes this loyalty, the new republicans feature in the house of representatives. our street was elected while one comp support. if one moment summed up crumbs complete control over his party, it was this. mitch mcconnell and good trump when he criticized them pretty full in
12:11 am
the january 6 the sold on capitol hill. what do you notice? he was stepping down as the senate republican leader renewed his party changed many falls. i just started sending politics and there's no one else knows a he parked the mechanism the on and see the republican national committee is expected to pass from someone who was loyal but not oil enough into the controlling hands of a huge trump supporter. i'm from his daughter in law adults in law, who said she would spend every penny to help donald trump in 2024. that was enough to anger. one republican donald trump is now turning the republican party into his own. trump still faces 90. 1 criminal charges across 4 separate court cases. 2 supporters, doesn't matter. they believe he's being politically targeted is pulling numbers go up. he makes frequent stumbles and errors doesn't matter. his numbers go up. and
12:12 am
there's a warning to those who think if trump loses, then the republican party goes back to what it was. over the next 234, possibly even 5 presidential election cycles. people attempting to try to emulate donald trump and his profit get ways. most republican, both to see the light comes policies. i'm well, many suggest the wish to talk to you to another stand to be to the new for the moment. he's the only game in time. oh, i'm for sure. i'll just go to washington and island is live now from west palm beach, florida at with trump. is that the moment? so here we are again. alan trump, the republican front runner, but they all those 91 case is facing that stop it of the yeah, there is a difficulty the, i mean the, the most important case is going to become a pro where the supreme court will hear arguments about whether or not donald trump
12:13 am
has absolute immunity in everything that he did while he was president, it cannot be clement, he prosecuted. it would be a huge surprise if the supreme court upheld that idea. remember, during the initial arguments, donald trump lloyd essentially argued that donald trump could also be assassination of a political arrival and not face any persecution. afterwards, we saw from the comment she has to be from donald trump, that immunity case is certainly waiting on them. but let's take a look at some of the other cases in new york. it will be later this month that he'll go on trial for paying money to an adult film star that cover cover up with a fear from the voters in 2016. so that's going to go ahead then that is the case in florida. the state here about the fact that donald trump had the documents from the government refused to give them back. unobstructed attempts to bring them back . no, that should have been taking place sometime in the next couple of months,
12:14 am
but that's unlikely to go ahead or not shuttle. then there's the case in florida in georgia rather which is my are in the prosecutor facing her own pass. no trouble is impossible. this barman from office, and then there is the case in washington dc where of course, he's accused of for mentoring the riot that started on january the 6th. and that should have started on monday. the fact that they didn't says everything about the delays and these cases and a place to tom's hand, when these cases are delayed, he would like to put it all for as long as possible, perhaps when the election, and then get rid of all these federal cases against them, there are still be of traps. they are real beer traps that could cause donald trump problems. but as i said in my report, as supporters don't care for his ratings, keep going up, the doing impact tim are told. and so it's unlikely that any of these will have any impact on his elect ability with republicans, the republican contender, donald trump, the front runner, of course, the other contender is nikki haley,
12:15 am
the former us ambassador to the you. and in many pundits island seem to have completely written our all faced super tuesday. amaica break moment for her. as it is, i mean the best chance she's got is probably in virginia, which is an open primary i i and even the are the polls are suggesting that donald trump is still going to win that you remember there were so many people who thought that they could challenge donald trump for the republican nomination, many of them by praising donald trump and saying, we don't need have style of politics. we just need his policies that didn't work. and the last person standing is nikki haley. now she won the d. c. primary on sunday that has are only victory despite the millions of dollars that she's poured into a presidential campaign. she said she's definitely in till super tuesday. if the results go badly tonight and the pool suggests they will,
12:16 am
then the clock is ticking or nikki haley is presidential bed in 2024 island. thank you very much for that. tallon fisher live there in west palm beach, florida eye surgeon migration at the us mexico border has become a focal point in the vote. republicans accused of binding the administration of neglecting border security, and democrats say the republicans are sabotaging their efforts to deal with the issue. heidi to costs are reports from texas, where candidates visited the board or this week. the it's still morning at the mercury. don't flea market in the gallon, but the sell sedan has already been playing for hours. the music drift over the knickknacks and the produce to wear 18 year old ana is working at her mother's vegetable stall. she does so much to provide for our little family because it's just me and her on. i was born in the united states, shortly after her pregnant mother across the border from mexico. she's asked us not
12:17 am
to use her last name. she says the candidates in this election have all turned demonizing immigrants to get votes, and that hurts for immigrants are here to work hard and try their best to get into this point. it helps. so basically our economy, we, she's looking forward to voting for the 1st time, but she says she wishes she had better options for president than donald trump and joe biden. but it's like, you know, to meet him like that. i guess i would just go provide a few stalls down our tools. santian almonza is selling tools to make his rent. he's 68 and works 2 jobs. just say your pick them up and i have my papers now. but migraines going through a hard time. they also need help, after all, they've gone through to make it here. a record number of migraines have crossed into the u. s. during biden's presidency. despite his administration's efforts to
12:18 am
block them, trump says he did a better job to secure the border. they like trump, and polls showed the majority of americans agree, and they'll bite and one the majority of the hispanic vote in 2020 trump now has a 6 point lead among that group. michael borden, yes. says spending a day at the flea market with his family helps distract from his worries about his trucking business. this current administration has um, has crippled to me. they have crippled me. i have to cut my trucking company in half. i've already sold half my fleet. he says he'd like republican nikki haley to become president, but he'd be happy to support trump to texas has voted for a republican to become president for more than 4 decades. analysts say this year the state may turn in even deeper shade of red, and that whoever wins over voters on immigration and the economy will win the
12:19 am
presidency. heidi jo, castro, elders, era, mac, allen, texas. as talk to heidi who's now in houston, texas, heidi, your. 6 in houston, a major gateway from migraine, leaving the border integration, driving voltage to the pulse. a holly. this is a harris county taxes, which is a major hub or a gateway even for migrant to arrive as a border and then go on further into the united states. and this is a very diverse county. one of the most diverse cities is houston in the united states, and here we are at a democratic heavy pulling place. and you can see that the line has been out the door all day, several dozen voters waiting to have their ballots cast in talking to them at least half have shared with us that immigration indeed is the top driver for them coming out to this primary and i want to bring our guest, this is a revisit service, a one who is running as
12:20 am
a democrat for congress. thank you so much for your time professor. how do you tell me about, you know, 80 percent of americans pulled say that they don't think the current administration is doing a good job of managing the border? is that an uphill battle for you and other democrats to overcome? no, i don't think so. you know, my dad came to this country with $5.00 in his pocket. 1979. this is a country of immigrants. this country is beautiful because it's made up of immigrants. gimme a tired gimme a report. give me your huddled masses yearning to be free. right. this country is beautiful because it's made up and we're going to ship case said, and i think we have to have a sympathetic ear, we need to make it easier for legal immigration to occur in this country. the border crisis only exist because there are no pathways or almost immediate pathways to citizenship anymore. for anybody that arrives, we have $11000000.00 on documented people as a democrat running. it's not, we're not supposed to make it harder for people to come here. we're supposed to make it easier and half of the people they are talking to today. you know, this is a, a 5050 percent split, republican democrats station democrats. we're not focused on immigration, we're focused on making this country better for everybody. you say that the
12:21 am
democrats should be focused on talking about how good immigration can be for the country, but we're seeing the opposite happen with president bided moving more toward the right with more restrictive policies on the border. you don't agree with that? no, i don't agree with it. i believe in open borders. i believe in love. i believe in anybody's living there who the country, something was wrong in the 1st place. we have to make it so that economies around the world aren't exploited by the global north. we have to look after the global south and make it easier for their countries to exist and then they won't be fleeing, right? and you don't make, if you don't want refugees, quit making them happen. if you look at what's happening and god, zine, syria and yemen, uh, south of the border and mexico. and so even central america, these are our results of field economic policy in nafta. and we really have to work to fix these issues. and the way we do it, quite frankly, is with an open heart, we accept people accept their huddled masses, give me your tired and your port. this is america is beautiful because it's 4 in the grades progress. if you were to win this, this race and you are trailing your opponent quite significantly. but if you were
12:22 am
to, when you'd be the 1st muslim american to represent a district in texas, and part of your platform is a warrant. gaza, what do you want? motors to know about that. i think it's important that we have to recognize a genocide is happening. 30000 people had been killed on most. these are innocent civilians. how can anybody wake up and say it's okay for us to send more a to israel. we have to end a to is really immediately that con, that countries violating the human rights of native palestinians. and i'm the only candidate this raise calling for seas bar if elected. i would be the 1st to put bills on the floor, essentially nothing. y'all regime. thank you so much, that's progress. i have one who's again, a democrat running for congress and you're hearing all of this energy here. there's a large turn out. but if you look at the early voting numbers, fully, republicans are still turning out more even here in harris county, which is heavily democratic, then the democratic voters, which possibly could spell more trouble for president biden. heidi, thank you for that. heidi through castro live in houston,
12:23 am
texas. the state of the us economy is another big concern for americans. but here's the interesting fact. the data shows it's not doing badly. it grew a solid 3.2 percent in the last quarter. $353000.00 jobs were added in january and wages have thrown that skipped the unemployment rate at 3.7 percent the lowest in decades. the international monetary fund expects the u. s. economy to expand by 2 point one percent this year. that's more than it's forecasts for growth in other major economies. and yet there's frustration among many americans because of the high cost of living income and equality and lack of affordable housing. consumer prices are 17 percent higher and they were 3 years ago. and 41 percent of americans think the economy conditions off for that spring in john henry and in the valley, north carolina for more on the economy, your upholding station. in ronnie that john a key battleground, state, north carolina. of course, how much is the economy a concern for vote to say,
12:24 am
it was always the number one issue that people have been telling us matters to them. and as you pointed out, that inflation unemployment are both actually below their long term averages right now. but polls show that voters aren't very happy with the economy, and they tend to give donald trump higher marks then joe biden. one reason for that may be that there's generally a lag time of 6 to 12 months before people start to feel those economic changes. so the good news for joe biden is he's got a shot at the economy getting a little better before election day in november. but meanwhile, it means that he may not have visit ford. he wasn't donald trump, fuels of the strength of a swing state like north carolina state. they can go either way, but tends to vote conservative. joe biden thinks he's gotten a shot this time around, but i want to talk to a little bit about problems that can happen at the polls. and i've got
12:25 am
a guest with me. this is heather perkins who is with democracy in c and c for north carolina. let me ask you just a little bit. what is it that you do here? um, i come to the polls. volunteer non partisan to be sure every vote counts. so any vote or that shows up on election day or early voting, i can cancel their balance. so if they were a group agitating outside the poles and making it difficult for people to come in, let's say you intervene. how do you do that? i have a group of attorneys that i can reach on the phone and i'm supposed to call the police if it's an issue that feels threatening and and in the early voting you've seen of threatening situation or too. right. i mean, sometimes people just go a little, not they do, they can go a little, not you get
12:26 am
a man threatening total workers at one point. yes. um this weekend. um a voter came in and didn't want to be spoken to by anyone. and he did. he did get a little upset. so from time to time, you've got those kinds of things, but you've also got logistical problems, right? where people come and maybe they've gone to the wrong polling station. what do you do then? um, i can look up what pulling station they're, they're supposed to be at. everyone today here at the green road, green road part of the election officials inside have given them where they need to go to. so i didn't have to do a lot of that today. you can make sure they get their vote. the other for things i want to. thank you very much. i'll show you with a democracy ends. yeah. a group that is here voluntarily helping to make sure that everyone gets to vote here in a state that's going to be key in november. no surprise is expected here today,
12:27 am
but that is an important job that these people are doing is volunteers. thank you, john. john hendrick live in raleigh, north carolina. well, the issue of abortion access in the united states is motivating voters and candidates this election year. since the supreme court overturn nationwide of washing wise, nearly all stays in the sof impose restrictions. only one of them hasn't. and that's virginia. particle head is live in richmond force. so body, how big is the abortion issue still for americans almost a year after will be waived was overturn slow and tell you where i am and i'm in front of this part. quite possibly. the smaller state capital i've ever seen, but it really had an outside influence. the eyes of the entire nation were on it in 2023 because abortion accessing the south was on the line. they wanted to see if they would be able to. democrats would be able to use that issue to flip the legislature. it worked in 2023,
12:28 am
but it might not. now i'm proud to be one of the individuals to help help secure that victory. to be more precise, one of 3 delegate, michael sagan's when last november over an incumbent, gave democrats control virginia as house of delegates and put an end to the governor's plan to ban abortion. after 15 weeks, he credits his victory to the issue of abortion access. after the supreme court overturn the law that allowed for limited abortions nationwide get out of a weekend, you know, tv weekend the weekend before and a c bus loads of individuals. there was a line on snaking through the parking lot of people rates and knock doors that weekend. we had individuals coming from from washington in california that that came out on their own dime that knew what was on the life. when democrats took back control the state house politicians across the country side, a portion access was going to be the issue in 2024. but now, according to polls, people care mostly about immigration, then the economy, an 8 percent,
12:29 am
say abortion access will determine their vote. it's not just the politics. april green works for non profit that helps women pay for abortions. she says they've been losing support after the jobs decision. um, we had a lot of support, a lot of donations, a lot of folks reaching out saying we want to do what ever we need to do to, to make abortion and keep abortion accessible in virginia. and unfortunately, i will say, you know, some of that of fire has, has started to dampen a little bit to check if the polls might be right. we, as people casting their ballot early in virginia, what was driving their vote, stopping immigration and closing the border. the economy, you know, and have in a safe countries to live in not one mention of reproductive freedom. a potential sign that would happen in virginia might not be replicated nationwide in november. no l and mentioned that virginia could be
12:30 am
a key state for nicky healey. i want to go into that a little bit more. that's because this is an open primary. so basically, if you're a registered voter, you walk into your polling place and say, i either want to vote republican or either one of the democrats. and i've talked to a couple of democrats here that say they plan to go in today to vote and vote for nikki haley. so that could be decisive for her. but that's a risky strategy for democrats, because if you look at polls here in virginia were joe biden, b donald trump, by about 10 percent as far as last time. it shows inviting could be trump again here, but he loses pretty badly. nikki haley. so it's gonna be really interesting to see what happens when the results come in in about 2 and a half hours time. and we'll, we'll be checking in with you. of course for those results. scotty, thank you very much for that patio and live there in virginia. well, american women have voted at higher rates and men in every presidential election since 1980, making them a powerful political force. and yet their financial situation has only gotten worse
12:31 am
. more than half of all women say is worse and significantly in the past 3 years. 48 percent had to cut back on groceries while 18 percent delayed or cancelled. preventative health screenings? financial pressure has contributed to an overwhelming 60 percent of women who say they feel more burn town than usual for mothers and minority women. this problem is even worse. and after the supreme court overturned a law, that guaranteed abortion wise. nationwide, 2 years ago, 56 percent of women say they're less likely to vote for an anti abortion rights candidate. and about a 3rd of republican women are of the same view. let's speak to amanda hunter about all this. she's the executive director of the bumper and the family foundation that works in advancing women's equality and representation in american politics. and she's live from boston mass, just massachusetts amanda. very good to have you with us. american women of course, and not a monolithic role, but talk to us about the number one issue that they're concerned about,
12:32 am
o racial and social categories combined. so thank you so much for having me fully at the foundation. we have done research on the obstacles and opportunities, women face when seeking executive office for 25 years. and we've partnered with american universities, women in politics institute on the research that you mentioned, looking at women voters. and we've done this research for a number of years. and what we're seeing is that women are worried about the economy. they're worried about health care. they're feeling burned out and their mental health is suffering. but they're also hopeful for in 5 women that we surveyed believe that they would see a woman, presidents in their lifetime and 70 percent of independent women that we surveyed said that they didn't say that there are enough women in elected office. so women know that when we differently, and this is a critical time,
12:33 am
interesting that you point out that some of the women surveyed found that they're not enough women in elective office. you have in the republican party, a woman who's running for president, why they not more women supporting her backend as well. that's really interesting question. and it seems like nikki haley has really activated women voters on the campaign trail. she seems to have built a base around women and college educated voters. and i think that people are going to study her campaign for years to come. because we found that our research fully that when women seek executive office, they really have to satisfy both gender stereotypes. they have to show that they're strong enough to be commander, and she but not be too tough so that they can be likable. and nikki haley is really navigated that type roads throughout this campaign. she's been struggling, but she's on her show work to write interesting. now some of the most recent
12:34 am
pollings amanda show that president biden is losing some of his 2020 voters to trump it. and he's logging in support among women. women were crucial to his election in 2020. why they changed their minds about it? well, i think that is still early, but as we sat a minute ago, women are feeling burns out. they're stressed out. we've seen in some of our pulling that women have been tuning out of politics because it's so stressful. and we also know that women are often a peace makers and their family. they don't like to create conflict. so we may see women become more engaged as we get closer to the election in a coal that we're talking about. a majority of women did say that they thought the 2024 election was going to be the most important of their life time. so i suspect that women will be tuning back into politics in the coming months. we've seen the 1st lady joe biden on the, on the campaign trail, something for, for
12:35 am
a husband and her language. her tone seems to have change in recent days. she's attacking donald trump more now describing him as dangerous for women as a threat to american women. does that resonate with most american women as well? i interesting to see the polling numbers on that, but i think that the larger issue for american women and looking at the fact that they believe that more women should be elected is that women believe that women elected to office bring the entirety of their lived experience. to the jobs. so when you have someone like nikki haley who is a mother or other women in congress using their lived experience to make policy decisions. that seems even more critical at a time when women are feeling such economic pressure and mental health stress. what about the, the abortion issue? amanda? that was a big deal when roe v wade was overturned. is that, is that still
12:36 am
a concern for female voters in the us today? it seems that it absolutely would be. and as you said in our poll, we did find that of women, large lease, that they would not support an anti choice presidential candidate. so that seems to be one issue looming large. but of course the economy and the people's everyday lives are also really important. but i do think fully no matter what happens in this primary and super tuesday, it's just important to remind everyone that nikki haley has already made history in her res, going further than any woman on a republican presidential ticket. and that's important to us because we found that our foundation that voters can have sometimes what we call an imagination barrier when it comes to picturing women at the highest levels of government. so even by launching this campaign and run a, she's chipping away at stereotypes and showing voters a new possibility of what a leader can look like. amanda is very interesting to your thoughts about all this
12:37 am
. amanda hunter from the properly family foundation. joining us there from boston, thank you very much for being with us. thank you. now, one of the decisions facing both is the super tuesday is which of the candidates will best advance us interest on the global stage? donald trump's policy is rooted in the slogan america 1st, joe biden adopted the phrase, america is back there. foreign policy positions appear complete opposites, but in terms of human rights, the gap between them is narrow. my kind of free for some washington the, as donald trump fights for a 2nd to him, he doubles down on some of the most controversial aspects of his 1st threatening to abandon nato allies. should they come under attack in the said match, and we compensation with a nato leda. but one of the hedge and the country set up and said, does that mean that if we don't pay the bills, then you're not going to protect us?
12:38 am
i should. that's exactly what it means. exactly. i'm not going to protect from continues to rail against international agreements from which you said ministration, unilaterally withdrew, and upon becoming president, go bite and attempted to repair global relations. america is back. diplomacy is back from supplier in fascination with dictators is bad on immigration from predominantly muslim countries is insistence on separating migrant children from the parents or reflected the world view in which human rights had no place. and not the position that by didn't pledge to reset. we must start with diplomacy routed in america's most cherished democratic values, defending freedom, champagne, an opportunity upholding universal rights, respecting the rule of law and treaty,
12:39 am
every person with dignity in this potential re match. the philosophy of global liberalism is up against that of nativist isolation administration now in the west wing portray, is the selves as morally and ethically superior to the last. this reduces the foreign policy and human rights positions of the 2 contenders to black and white. it's not that simple. finding all the withdrawal from a for gun he's done abandoning those who fought against a ton of bond in the name of the us along with millions of women who said men. so patient had been so brief. he's on questioning, support of israel has not waited, despite genocide and gaza, and trump's decision to break with decades of policy and recognize jerusalem as israel's capital has to not be robust whether he did or whether he didn't. he denies it vehemently, while trump openly stated that the relationship with saudi arabia was more important than the mood of journalist jamal could shoji by didn't condemn the
12:40 am
killing, but continues to embrace relationship. and if a leader is to be judged by the company he keeps, the jury is still out of the room. mike kinda, i'll just say around washington. so what, what america is choice mean for the rest of the world? let's bring it in 3 guess. now zayna astronomy has hutchinson is in chicago. she's the director of development and expansion for the american power of anti discrimination committee. inside soda, florida is carry sheffield, who is a conservative commentator and our shot her son is a democratic political strategist. joining us from burlington vermont, thank you to all 3 of you. thank you for joining us on the call. jessie, are they not? let me start with you and, and talk about biden. he came to power touting himself as a human rights president. he made human rights a central part of his policy. how has he done? how would you rate?
12:41 am
i mean, 1st of all, thanks for having me. it's a pleasure to be on the show with you fully, especially on the super tuesday today. it's a very important day to be quite frank, a, i read them as an s on, on that on, on, on human rights, an important policy. i think biden is great at using words that may mean one thing, but then he does the exact opposite of it. so when he says, you know, america is back or diplomacy is back. it's really how he uses the words to pretend that he is a center in human rights or pushing an agenda to to that fosters peace or prosperity for anybody. but the united states, which ultimately ends up being hurting the rest of the world. i also america. so, i mean, you think it's when he 1st drank i'm, he ran on the human rights issue. we pushed very hard to get the very basics of his platform and we can talk about that try, but it took everything we were a you know,
12:42 am
everything to, to get him to even address the issue on his platform. well, he specifically fail when it comes to human rights. i mean, the previous example is the genocide happening because they're right now and the rhetoric in the, in the and the talking points that he keeps using without actually doing any action at dropping a few parcels of food on a, on a population that is being starved and bombed by us weapons and using sort of israel as a, as a saying is, rose not locked into food and not locking the the 8th. meanwhile, just is it talking points and rhetoric just to get votes and points. this is not, this is the big example. but also when he was meeting with m b. s and doing other, i'm pulling out other nations for the humanitarian human rights violations it at the same time. he does the exact same thing when it comes to other countries that like like public stein or like iraq or like syria or yeah. and so, i mean there's,
12:43 am
there's a lot of examples across the world where the, this administration has done a very poor job of upholding. there are human rights. let's get, let's get our shots start. our sides. zayna says by didn't get an f from her, especially when it comes to the guys of war. how do you rate him? and i know this is where i'm supposed to defend the democratic president because i'm a democrat, but i think he continues to give him a d. yeah. but here's the thing. generally, american presidents are not particularly good on human rights, and i think every line and i said otherwise, this is the thing to bite and does need to understand that there are a lot of democrats who do believe that we can do a much better job around the world, the difference, one of the many differences between trump invite in is that those of us who do believe that are more often in the room with biden, and nowhere near the building with trump. so good victories. we do that,
12:44 am
we are that we do manage to get every now and then generally happen in places and among people who might not hear the names of the state department or us the id who can fight for some of the smaller victors that will not make the headlines, but are the small building blocks that we need to maintain our interests and also our, uh, our most stand a, you know, well, it doesn't seem to agree with you. i'll come back to it in just a moment. let me get carry into the conversation, carry as in a gave vitamin f, especially on gaza. arshad a de most americans don't like the way he's handled this war and his policies on israel as a conservative. how would you rate him? and you know, if joe biden, if donald trump brother was in power today, how would he of, and all this different i would give donald trump in a then i would give joe biden an f because president trump. and i was actually
12:45 am
there at the white house as a journalist, covering the white house the day that the abraham accords were signed at the trump white house. this was a historic accord that brokered piece it began a snowball effect for peace in the middle east between countries that had been for the evening today and what, what, what are the abram accords completely achieved? why is that piece? we have 30000 people that it killed in gaza by israel. what have you ever in the course achieved? well, that's what i'm saying that joe biden ministration completely failed to, to push through on that momentum he allowed, or ron. and that's essentially the biggest failure of the bite and restriction in the middle east is a ron, it is a ronald bank rolling this violence around his bank, rolling him off around his bank, rolling has below. and it's through biden's, breaking of the sanctions with a trumpet ministration. put in place. augusta ron that has enabled all of his blood shot to start because this all started in october 7th through money from a ron se,
12:46 am
due to not really starting october. second, i stayed there tonight. okay, let, let me bring dana in because i see zayna both being a and a shot disagreeing with using a, a, have a carrier. he says that binding ultimately is responsible for what happened. i mean, the abram accord, she said, had the region on the right path and then the bind administration and did all of it . i mean, 1st of all, i disagree with both. so let me, let me be very clear on certain issues, but the abraham records are particularly there to undermine the publicity and cause to push the better as to being a narrative, a side to side step. both sides of the goal is to mean people and force israel into a, into the air worlds. basically, to unfortunately, are the people the, their government to say that you know what? no, it's okay. we will forego on how this time we will for going to assume human rights
12:47 am
and for the favor of in favor of economic development. this is not how it works. normalization will never happen so long as opposed to means are under occupation, so long as there's been a part system, so long as there's ethnic cleansing and right now, so long as there's a genocide. so let's be very clear. the. the abraham accords is, is not to, for the sake of security and for the in the region. it's for the sake of economic development for the united states and certain air countries built on also weapons weapons sales. um, the military industrial complex is the thriving with the genocide and all the doors that are happening across the financed as well as supported by the united states and their investments in this. right. that's 1st with regard to the abraham a court. as far as you know, the increment of that we don't see behind the scenes, but vitamins doing. we are talking about the genocide, one over 330000 palestinians are killed and they are starved. they are besieged.
12:48 am
the united states has vetoed 3 times the spire resolutions statements resolutions a vetoed statements of the night, the united nations security council as well. so it's not the increment of behind the scenes. stuff won't waste past that. all right, but the united let me allow our shots to respond briefly before we move on to other foreign policy issues are shot to, to respond to what dana said, but also what carries it before. it looks like it was it, it was not really that wrong. but it is true, we are facing a genocide in the united states. these do better is not in the united states interest to aid and abet. something like this. it never is, but it particularly is not now. it doesn't matter who uh, who the president, the executive uh, just on the general level put into the different sort of branches of government throughout the executive branch of government. because so much of what happens in the lives of data explorer affected by our government happened not at the very top,
12:49 am
but the people are pointed all the way down and through which slight matters have confident governance. in to address the point about the erie mccord's and it's failure or success is just strange, credulity. to say that everything that's happened in the middle east or where everything that's not working in the middle east is true biden's fault. just it is the early american exceptions way of looking at it. not that we are deeply involved, but it's wildly unrealistic to say that all right, we, we unfortunately have to use the response. i didn't respond please. yeah, go ahead and respond. we don't have a lot of time left. going to get in either of my co panelists address the issue of a ron or ronald is the one that is being rolling, but who teasing young man has the law and him off. the entire conflict started because of ron. and until we addressed that elephant in the room, which joe biden has been an utter weak person, donald trump was the one who showed strength against
12:50 am
a ron. he could increase the sanctions. that is why you did not have this level of blood sugar in the middle east under donald trump. that's how the dominos fell. and so i'm sorry, but that's the elephant, but no one's address and we can ignore it. and the fact that it's the slaughter of innocence in the middle east. it's tragic. but at the end of the day, her moss is the one who is responsible for this. they have been repressing their people per day. at the end of the dining. ashley, there's no met and interrupt you. there is no occupation of israel in garza. they have left in 2005. there was no presence of israel anywhere on the left in 2005, but the guy is still under a blow. k j not allow you to have the last word. i mean, this just shows how either intentionally or willfully ignorant people are or this fear mongering. an absolutely racist empties palestinian sentiment, has taken
12:51 am
a hold of not just the republican party, but also the, the sort of the national composition as a whole when it comes to palestinians impersonating right. this is not starting on october 7. this started way before this. the occupation has been ongoing for decades. there's a big lensing and a part started happening. and the genocide right now is not the fault of anybody but is really occupation in apartheid system. and ethnic cleansing, that have, has been happening for 75 years on which if we want to talk about human rights as a, as a sort of global issue that, that is protection for everybody just happened to study and wrecked as an exceptional to this rule. but then we have, we have a serious soul searching to do it may not that they both democrats and republicans . this is not either or both have failed. okay, not just the police to new people, but the american people by hiding the truth from the zayna. arshad, carrie, i wish we had more time to talk about other foreign policy issues, but we're gonna leave it there for now. thank you very much for joining us. on i'll
12:52 am
just there have you. thank you. the the i sent out of world news now and haiti's prime minister is reportedly informed to rico as he tries to return home. i don't, he hasn't been seen since he left kenya over the weekend. but officials say he arrived in san juan after being denied permission to land in the dominican republic . eighties, and the state of emergency after gang leaders announced they were going to overdraw the government. stephanie deca has more the international airport has stopped operating, no flights in or out, paralyzed by gang biden's like much of the country. a gang leader and former police officer jimmy sherry's. a nick named barbecue is claimed responsibility for the attacks. seeing the aims to force the prime minister of yellow only to stand down in an unusual move,
