is were made by pack us not to week and soft tardy, or peachy island by jails. former prime minister and brawn con, this part's warning, the majority of the seats in parliament deputy. i claim the results of at least a t national assembly seats for quote, falsely changed by election officers. the claim was, of course, dismissed by the incumbent government as base last saying it has maintained neutrality throughout the election process, but that did not stop angry supporters of the p t. i to take this freight st. before these have quotes to the overwhelming mandate of the people of pakistan, the party insists now that i'd be independent results show p t i's victory. they now demand that the results must be revised in their own favor. mattered to or by law have got that are on 64000 votes and my nearest 5. i'll get on the 17000 votes . we will continue this protest and also going to quotes. we have faith in the judiciary. we held that they will declare those candidates victorious, has,
11:31 pm
has been voted by the people they say. so it's a month that can be sent to your demand that we demand. but the results should be announced on the basis of the forms that were given to us earlier and according to which candidates of the pci one by a large martin. those results were changed in the morning. this was the recent and your jail term of p t i's leader hon over charges of leaving state secrets is also driving the party supporters over the edge. the ex prime minister was ousted by political opponents in 2022 and later arrested in may of 2023 and has ever since been serving, gets we your jail term on a corruption conviction which banned him from running for prime minister for 5 years. despite his absence from the rivalry his party secure most of the seats in this latest election based on the final vote counting, announced by the election commission, independent candidates, 1102 seats. the majority of them are backed by cons, party packaged on most of them. we now was party or p. m. a land headed by ex prime
11:32 pm
minister. now was sherry stood 2nd with the 73 seats and the pack us. then people's party 154 seats. now, here's the catch. none of the 3 major parties in the country have reached the required 169 seats to have a parliamentary majority. so according to the constitution, none of them will be able to form a government independently. as a result, it remains unclear who will be chosen as the next prime minister of pakistan within inconclusive and highly contentious road. pakistan is now expected to face weeks of political uncertainty and a potential violent protest. the head, as dozens of constituency resolves facing challenges in court and revival parties, negotiating possible coalitions. well, but, so for me, for today, my colleague shawn the advanced cable with you at the top of the al bye for now, the
11:33 pm
the following. the united states made terms, democrats see a portion as one of their most powerful campaign weapons, no arsenal, defeat republicans on sky. now here's an on this edition of $360.00 view. we're going to discuss whether a portion is really going to play a large factor in the 2024 election cycle. or if this is just the democrats strategy to distract from the lackluster results. so it's for an engine mastic divided 1st term. let's get started, the it's another election cycle and of course,
11:34 pm
the broken record of reproductive rights. more specifically, abortion rights is at the forefront of the democratic agenda. now 2022. when the supreme court overturn roe vs wade, i would have thought this would have eliminated the use of the abortion debate and federal elections. yet, following the recent wins of the democratic party on the backs of anti abortion limiting valid initiatives in virginia and ohio, it's obvious. democrats seen making the issue of abortion. a priority is a winning strategy for them. this isn't rocket science or anything new yet. the republicans, more specifically republican candidates, have not yet effectively been able to collaborate together to provide a good defense on this topic. ok, i want to break it all down for you on the strategy of both sides regarding abortion and the role it plays with the electric, the united states supreme court took away the constitutional rights, a funding, mental right and freedom from the people of america from the women of america
11:35 pm
on, once i do have democrats for hoping to use the topic really to distract from the current state of america, following the 1st term of the binding ministration. now poland 2022 showed over half of americans. father, an imminent danger at least once per day, and with recent headlines, showing an increase in carjackings and violent crimes all in major cities. americans definitely feel less safe today. that even 3 years ago, coming out of the pen demik, now coupled with increased inflation, the consistent threat of action by the american military and a foreign more $33.00 trillion dollars in debt, rising health care costs and a less secure southern border, which is already allowed more than $2500000.00 illegal immigrants across this year, you can see why democrats hope to make the only subject which they seem to be winning on the key issue. meanwhile, republicans on the other side, taking
11:36 pm
a really odd approach of basically ignored no. maybe they feel it's a moot con diversity says roe vs wade on the federal level. my friends, let's be encouraged. let's press on in hope and then we can joined together and make this great difference. i believe that we can, we can stand with every woman for every child, and we can truly build a culture the cherishes and protects life. but this would be awfully short sighted because of democrats are able to motivate their electric enough to overwhelmingly control congress. make no mistake, they are going to push to grow the number on the bench. if this happens is almost guarantee there will be a nother abortion case, which will find its way to the supreme court and will be ruled and the democrats favor. now the national republican party has once again underestimated the power of single issues motivated and electorate at the state level. it is obvious, the democrats realize this and will continue to build an upstate level victory to
11:37 pm
counter any legislation made at the federal. and i want to continue this discussion with our panel of agitated guest angel mcardle his chair of the libertarian national committee and jesse k. robinson, health professional duleigh, and media commentary. thank you so much for joining me, ladies. i think this is a very interesting conversation that's happening americans the one that i think we've probably had since the day all of us were born is about abortion and reproductive rights of the united states. and yet, we still don't have a solution that is good for all parties involved. so i want to get to it later about whether this is all being done on purpose to divide, rather than actually just solution. but i want to start with you angela on this because more than the economy, more than the rise of crime or national security. do you believe abortion today is really at the top of women's minds? i don't think so. i think this is largely manufactured of the controversy over
11:38 pm
a portion of i think this is definitely something that's going to be played up heavily in the election. but i'm personally, i'm concerned with the economy. i'm concerned with putting food on the table, gas prices, nuclear war, you know, seeing our tax dollars shipped overseas to for and complex. i'm not thinking about abortion when i wake up every day. well, and dusty i have to ask, do you think this is more important? certain democratic demographics, men versus women, males young versus old. even if we're talking about various races, do you think it's more important to others rather than just the broad electorate in general? well, i think it does, it does resonate with multiple audiences for different reasons. i think younger people are recognizing that progressive issues are very much connected to each other. i do think that it does resonate largely with women because abortion is a health care issue. and to, to say that it's manufactured, you know,
11:39 pm
i think that's a bit of a scratch. i think that if you are understanding what progressive politics or about your recognizing that abortion is health care and health care is attached to the economy. and if we're really looking at these other issues that have to do with putting food on the table, having another mouth to feed is definitely an economic issue. it's social issue, it's an economic issue. it's a health issue. and so to narrow it down to this sort of singular, you know, issue doesn't really respect the place that it has amongst the lives of people who are trying to put the food on their table to live healthfully and live and, and progressive vote or is recognize that when you attack women's rights and health care rights, you know that other marginalized communities are coming gay rights,
11:40 pm
a marriage, all of that is on the table. when you start attacking reproductive rights does he, i can see exactly where you're coming from it. i see your point in that, but i have to ask you when you do talk, i agree. it is an economic issue. but why do you feel like it is as it was brought originally by angela was the fact that the economy is very important to us. national security is important to us when we're talking about the economy. if we're talking about abortion, why are we talking also about supporting a mother who does decide to have a baby? why is it that conversation in arguments just as important as the abortion issue? is it america today? why are we having put and put that much emphasis on that as a party, as a democrat and republican party, if that truly is what it is about the, the, the economy. i absolutely agree with you study. i absolutely agree with you and i think, you know, it's, it's unfortunate how sort of bifurcated this conversation is about abortion as opposed to pro life or pro choice or pro abortion which i don't think most people
11:41 pm
are pro abortion. i think most people approach boys, but if we're thinking about pro life, i think we're having a very narrow conversation amongst conservatives, which are really about pro birth the really just about birth. because if they were about life, they would be promoting and advocating for policies that ameliorate the lives of people who have children. i rarely, if ever see as part of the conservative platform of pro lived fair wages for women. improving health care universal, pre k, improving the family leave act, all of those things are part of being pro life. and so i would agree if we're really trying to make a case for the pro life platform, then it should really be about the living as well. as just bursting more people. and so if we are really trying to use this issue to a place where,
11:42 pm
where both sides could agree, then we would also be talking about black material out numbers. black women are 3 times as likely as, as white women to die, having a baby in this country in the most advanced nation in the world. that is not part of the conservative platform about approving, improving and ameliorate in the lives of black and brown women who are dying, having children. and if you go into our major cities, that number is anywhere from 7 to 12 times as likely as their white counterparts to die having a baby. and that is so, and i can prove that conversation then would you be including that in the conversation? i agree with you, and i wanna bring angela in on this as a fact because you're right. republicans aren't talking about it, but neither our democrats, that's the thing, democrats are and also bringing that conversation. neither. do you think this is on purpose? um angela. the fact that you are saying it's either it's clear cut, you're either pro life your pro choice. we're not having that conversation that would actually make this be
11:43 pm
a solution for all involved and treat the other issues that are happening that are causing women to have abortions that are causing women to not be able to take care of their babies or make that choice so the national literature in party has removed abortion from our platform. we're silent on the issue because we think that it's divisive and we think that the country is out of gridlock, place politically and culturally we're, we're not going to have us a solid answer. there is no, yes or no unimportant right now people are undecided and i think that republican candidates generally shoot themselves in the foot when they go really hard on this issue. it seems to be that americans, one women to have access to abortion, but they do not. by the same token, they do not like it. when democrats go really hard on this issue and say that they are for the 3rd term, abortion partial birth, abortion. that's also a turn off. so you know, my personal perspective on this is we need to just completely step away from it. i would much rather let this be decided to culturally, is this something that is
11:44 pm
a cultural issue and by the same token. so is the respect for, for life, the respect for individual rights. i tried to almost like um to revamp the image of, of women and child care and normalizing and making it seem fun. right? to have a family and to support women at home. you know, there's a, there's a, there's an interesting kind of cultural phenomenon that i see happening on. i don't want to say like the far right, but some of the friend right with, with men who are better about women and they want to only date women with very little body accounts. they want to marry a woman who's like 22 years old and a virgin. and i think that this is sort of related to the abortion argument. it's sort of where is the woman's place culturally in the workplace, at home, or whatever. if we want to be very pro life, culturally, we have to start saying like, you know what, we were expected value women and also were gauging in a little bit of cultural whiplash right now. because what,
11:45 pm
what my generation has been told in generations before me is that a woman has to be, um, we have to be a 2 income household. you have to go to college, you have to have in addition, you have to have health streams and all of this. and it doesn't really, it doesn't paint a balance of view of what it is to be a woman. it doesn't include providing for a child and health care. and so i think if you're a young woman and you're in college and you get the, you get pregnant accidentally, there's a lot of social pressure on you to have an abortion. and there's not a lot of at least perceived support. so we have to really start at the root of this issue before we start having politicians decide arbitrarily. or maybe because of, you know, the faith based issue and they really have values on it. but right, we can't just be letting them call the shots. this isn't much deeper issue. and angela, you're right, i'm going to take a break. i just, it seems like a great point to take a break honest because we've probably had more of a civil conversation on this issue between the 3 of us finding common ground that i find most often. and capitol hill just down the street when they bring up a portion. so we're going to take our break because when we come back we're to
11:46 pm
continue with our panel and look at what it says about the american vote. or if they can be motivated just by one single issue, which does not affect their everyday life. or the, the russian states never see as tight as on the most sense community. best of all sense and up in the system must be the one else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin media mission,
11:47 pm
the state on the russians cruising and split the ortiz full neck, even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube tv services for what question did you say david twist, which is the welcome back to this very important discussion about the influence of abortion rights in america. and what it will have on the 2024 election with our guest panel . angel mccardle, chair, libertarian national committee and jessica robinson health professional duleigh, and media commentator. thank you. it's, you know, before we, we broke off, we went to the break. we were talking about what conversations neither party i believe is having right now. in regards to of course, it's real easy to throw
11:48 pm
a portion out there because it's black and white. but there's several other issues that both parties could do. but prior to this, i'm going to throw this over to you angela. what is the effect of the ro versus weight rolling on this issue? i mean, it was supposed to send it back to the state. $60000000.00 babies have still been allowed to be aboard america since the ruling. so bush is still legal in the united states. would that not have confirmed that conversation finish that conversation elected to the states to decide i think that this is just emboldened democrats and help them supercharge their base. i. i mean, to the extent that the supreme court has to deal with these issues like i get it and i'm sympathetic, but they have to deal with that. and i'm not even going to say that they're, they're wrong in their decision. procedurally i didn't think that roe vs wade was a very well written argument. but the reality is they handed elections, you know, and, and excitement and enthusiasm to the democrats. so, you know, i think that's really where we're at right now. and republican candidates are just
11:49 pm
trying to catch up and they don't really understand how to navigate this. also, republicans are just typically there. and maybe it's because they're slightly more individually minded. the democrats make this because democrats are more collect the best and you can take that as an insult or a complement, depending on how you take it. but you know, they were clock stuff. they have an agenda, they stick to it and they know how to motivate them based. and i don't think that the republicans have any understanding of that. right, so very interesting. well, and then go into you jesse from a democrat standpoint, do you feel like that they are, the democrats have not given up hope on a federal law that will make abortion legal across the states. or they've more focused on individual states. small pieces of the pie as have going for the whole pizza. well, i think that there are collective efforts to bring this back to a federal conversation. you know, according to the center for reproductive rights, over the past 30 years, more than 60 countries have liberalize abortion was. united states is one of
11:50 pm
4 progressive um, more um, industrialized nations that have rolled back. and so we're really trying to get back into where the movement is going, according to the green wave, which is a collective among a latin american countries that are moving for more liberalized and progressive abortion laws. this is not just a single issue um where you're looking to sort as get this cantankerous conversation around angry women. people are recognizing more and more that abortion is health care. and that health care is connected to the economy. and it's connected to the progression of a nation if you want people to be healthy and well, we have to make sure that people have a right to say what they want with their bodies. and you know, i agree with the earlier comments. this is also a very gendered issue in terms of,
11:51 pm
you know, men saying who they want to, you know, be in a family with we have to have and i think with the per, with the progress of our eligibility to a community. we are really progressing in terms of what we understand families to be. we have to be moving forward not backwards in terms of who women are cool. women will be in this world and how we are very centered in the per, in the progress of our nation. this nation is built on the backs of labor and, and women are very much at the center of poor women. indigenous women are very much at the center of labor in this nation. and so all of these issues are deeply connected around the progress of a nation wide rather than rolling back people's rights. we should be moving forward, expanding the rights of people to live the lies that they need and that they want
11:52 pm
to. but i'm not just real women, i want to bring it as a friend. well, i want to bring the thought into and on his flight because you're, you're right. they kind of all do come together, except when you talk about the economy, angela, you said that's one of the, it's still on the for, for most women's minds. guess. is it not insulting to women to say, well, they're just going to go vote democrat, because the democrats are the ones fighting for reproductive rights. so the part of the reproductive rights, when most polls will show that they believe republicans handle the economy better. so is it not due ela so insulted to a stack that you're going to say as a woman, you're going to vote democrat just because they're pushing one single issue. so i'm not pro choice. well, i'm not saying you, but i'm saying that thursday or does that insulting to anita or a lot of other women in the country? there are so many women who don't believe that abortion is the right thing to do. i mean, the libertarian party, we just try not to touch this at the national level, but there are a lot of women who are still very much pro life. and they believe in individual
11:53 pm
rights. and they don't believe that abortion and health care are the same thing. and primarily they're concerned with the children that they already have. and their concern was putting food on the table and they're going to vote for the parties that they believe is going to deliver the best economic package for them. and that doesn't necessarily mean that they won't government health care, it means that they want to see gas prices drop. they want to see fuel prices, you know, be negotiated, that are, they want to see the tracking dams lift and they just, they don't really care about how it's done. they just want to see things more affordable. and i think that for, for the ladies in this conversation here, like we are, we are so involved in politics. you know, we see every little thing that happens. we're paying attention to the nuance of the details, but there are millions of women out there. and then to certainly who they don't care, they just want to know what happens at the end of the day. the bottom one is the country more affordable place to live. can i buy more christmas presents for my children? yes, now, and that's how they load. well, and that's interesting, we ended up because there is a lot of money that's also involved in that. you know,
11:54 pm
the, the national, it looks like the pro abortion rights group spent about a $150000000.00 on the mid term $9000000.00 on those state valid initiatives that they were victorious and in ohio and virginia duffy, could this just be more about and effective messaging on i called action the democrats are able to mobilize and use this as their mobilize or the necessarily, the other issues that republicans are failing to mobilize their based on, you know, i think both parties can be effective in single issues with their voters i think when republicans want to scare folks into believing that documented people are coming here to ruin our country. i think what fear mongering is involved. republicans do a very good job. i think in terms of abortion and rallying and motivating people to recognize that this is a human rights issue. i think democrats do pretty well on that too,
11:55 pm
but i would agree with the earlier comment. i think that a lot of people in this nation, i don't care how the sausages need. they want, they want a better life, and they don't recognize or care really about how all of those mechanics work. but i do believe that at the end of the day, if we, if, if democrats and progresses are looking to do really good messaging, they're going to recognize how to connect these issues to how people live their everyday lives. if people recognize that abortion is connected to health care, which it is and, and the concern on that a little bit for me, how do you think that abortion is connected to the health care of everyone? not just necessarily women of childbearing age, it is connected to everyone because health care is connected to reproductive, reproductive care and maternal care. and that's absolutely important to women's
11:56 pm
care. so all of those things are connected uh, having uh, reproductive choice, having birth control, making sure that you have that. um, in most cases when you have a insurance, you get a g y n as well as a general practitioner, the doctor. and so women's health care is, is very connected to general health care. and so when we put it this way, when you ameliorate the lives of people who are the most marginalized, then everybody wins. everybody wins when you improve health care for women? men do well very they do. they do very well. childrens do to do well and, and people in general will get more of the expansive and holistic care that's necessary when you begin to recognize how attached women's reproductive rights are to health care. angela, we only have about 2 minutes left, especially coming from the libertarian perspective. do you agree with that, that when you attach things like birth control, does that help everyone and is it right to attach birth control to abortion?
11:57 pm
i to, to, to put the 2 in the same category. are they 2 separate subjects? is totally separate to me. health care for me is about human flourishing. and, and, you know, especially deregulation and allowing people to get the access, they need the things that are going to improve and, and help their lives, you know, to me in portion is the ending of life. and so i don't include that in health care, and i recognize that and you know, 3 percent or less of circumstances. it's necessary to save the life of the mother by the rest of the time. i do not agree that the, that is any way attached to help. i definitely want people to have access to good health care though, and i hope that our government will use restrictions and regulatory burdens that benefit insurance companies over individuals. you know, i'd like everybody to have affordable health care well, and i don't include that in a portion. well angela cart all turn, libertarian national committee and dessie robinson health professional do law. and me to come to thank you so much for having this. very simple,
11:58 pm
very important discussion today when it comes to abortion rights, the parties do not look at it based on the actual act of abortion, is justification or even the need. they're not doing this to help make a woman's life better or help a woman or a desperate situation. because of so the conversation would, would be more about what medically is needed to help support endangered pregnancies or what type of system needs to be in place to support a mother adequately after the baby is born. the conversation would be also focused on what could be done to help prevent a woman from being put in the situation in the 1st place, which would also involve a very strong conversation about preventing domestic violence and crime. the sad part is both parties do not see the issue of abortion in personal terms, rather is just a tool to accomplish or ultimate goal of gaining power the sky, you know, hughes, thank you for watching. the 360 view,
