that it put Pro lifers in a very strong

01:34

he's on the opposing side of what the

01:50

majority of Americans believe yet Fox

01:55

awful and yet it perhaps was one of the

01:57

most honest evenings we've seen in a

01:59

very long time we've always seen honesty

02:02

with President Trump what You' just said

02:05

is one of the most insanely idiotic

02:07

things I have ever heard Emily what he

02:09

said was take me on yourself don't use

02:14

those upper echelons of justic the doj

02:16

and all that permit me to to say this is

02:18

that joke between the scientist and God

02:21

in connection with promoting the God

02:23

Bless the USA Bible CU nothing is more

02:25

Christlike than the man who is currently

02:27

on trial for paying hush money to a pawn

02:30

star he allegedly had an affair with

02:31

while his wife was at home with their

02:33

child selling Bibles for $60 a pop am I

02:35

going insane first thing you say is oh

02:38

my God I mean it is not only culty it is

02:41

grifty it is so much on brand for Donald

02:44

Trump As Trump continues to boast that

02:46

he's responsible for one of the least

02:48

popular decisions in America the

02:50

overturning of row and yet another

02:52

election it was proven to be a losing

02:54

strategy for Republicans Democrat

02:56

Marilyn LS campaigned on abortion rights

02:59

in deeply conservative Alabama she won a

03:01

special election to the Alabama

03:03

legislature in a victory that well

03:05

perfectly illustrates vter backlash to

03:07

extreme reproductive restrictions

03:09

imposed by Republicans Lans decisively

03:11

defeated Republican Teddy pow to win the

03:13

seat in the House of Representatives in

03:15

a Suburban District that while yes has

03:17

been increasingly politically moderate

03:19

as of late had long been held by the GOP

03:22

people are underestimating women people

03:24

are underestimating how angry women are

03:26

people are underestimating how much

03:28

women particularly place like Michigan

03:31

mobilized and fought to codify row as a

03:34

constitutional right in our state and

03:36

there's no way we're going backwards on

03:38

that so I think we always look for you

03:40

know who do you love as a candidate

03:43

instead of the binary choice of at the

03:45

end of the day when it comes down to my

03:46

personal freedom and what I want moving

03:49

forward the person who's going to get it

03:51

done final word yeah yeah the main

03:52

headline is Democrats continue to

03:55

overperform in the Biden era just you

03:57

can't dispute it it is blowing the

04:00

polling out of the water um Republicans

04:04

haven't really had a good showing since

04:05

Trump won in 2016 and they really and I

04:08

know that there are a lot of them you

04:10

know deeply conservative people that are

04:12

coming around to the idea that Donald

04:14

Trump loses himself elections and he

04:17

loses the people that he endorses they

04:19

took the house in 2000

04:22

right 20 20 20 yeah two Yeah by three SE

04:27

so remember your no there 2022 that was

04:30

that was your Red Wave remember where

04:31

you said I'm getting a 40 seat wave and

04:33

then you got three seats and a George

04:35

Santos don't remind me okay anyway and

04:37

her Victory comes several weeks after

04:39

IVF Services were temporarily paused in

04:42

the state after the Alabama Supreme

04:44

Court issued a ruling equating Frozen

04:46

embryos to Children yes somehow

04:49

furthering their medieval suppression of

04:51

women's rights I mean the state already

04:53

bans abion at all stages of pregnancy

04:55

with no exception while discussing the

04:57

election on Fox host Brett B was fored

05:00

to report on yet another Fox News poll

05:02

that showcases just how out of touch

05:05

Maga Republicans are on the matter um

05:07

abortion IVF uh playing a role Democrat

05:11

running on abortion and IVF access wins

05:14

the special election in Alabama Marilyn

05:17

lands flipped a state house seat in the

05:19

Deep Red State by 25 percentage points

05:21

underscoring the continued political

05:23

potency of Reproductive Rights don't

05:26

know if that's a canary in the co mine

05:27

but it is interesting in Alabama if you

05:29

look at our poll Katie best describes um

05:33

the issues view on abortion always legal

05:37

35% mostly legal

05:39

24% uh there you see the breakdown I

05:42

mean let's put aside the cold H facts

05:44

that since 2016 Republicans have lost

05:46

every single election in which

05:48

reproductive Freedom was on the ballot

05:50

then as a republican I ask you please

05:52

send me a team in Richmond that will

05:54

work with me and not against me I think

05:57

we should progress a bill that protects

05:59

life and I I just wanted to make sure

06:00

people understand what we would deliver

06:02

in Virginia CNN projects Democrats will

06:04

gain full control of the state

06:06

legislature and a major setback for

06:08

Republican Governor Glenn yunan in

06:10

Virginia who had been pushing to

06:12

restrict abortion many races defined

06:15

heavily by the issue of abortion which

06:17

drove dramat de Democratic voters

06:20

dramatically to the polls big numbers

06:23

Virginia state house will be fully under

06:25

Democrat control now remember the

06:29

governor there Glen yunen was saying

06:31

that he really wanted that not to happen

06:33

he wanted to flip one side the whole

06:35

house by the way was up for

06:37

grabs he wanted one side to flip the

06:40

whole Senate up for grabs none of that

06:43

happened that will prevent State

06:45

Republicans from passing new abortion

06:48

restrictions and again yunan and

06:50

Republicans that hoped the state house

06:52

and to flip the state senate Governor

06:55

yunan had projected razor thin margins

06:58

but that Republicans would win

07:01

these races are going to be decided by

07:02

hundreds of votes in large in large

07:05

turnout but even going into next year I

07:07

I expect the exact same issues will of

07:09

course be so important to Virginians and

07:11

Americans um because this is what

07:13

impacts everybody's daily life I do this

07:16

Donald Trump lost in

07:18

2017

07:19

2018

07:21

2019

07:23

2020

07:24

2021

07:26

2022

07:28

2023 and last

07:31

night wow okay but it's just fascinating

07:34

that they know this yet still cow to the

07:36

needs of the man who continues to take

07:38

credit for such an unpopular stance

07:40

going to be honest about this and I

07:42

consider myself pro-life but I

07:44

understand that's not where the country

07:46

is uh I would say first trimester or

07:49

Do's 15 weeks seems to be where the

07:52

country is Kaye I want to stay with you

07:54

on this issue and and these issues will

07:57

be decided by the states you asked you

08:00

talk to the speaker of the house I talk

08:02

to the speaker of the house it is not

08:03

going to be an issue in in the House of

08:06

Representatives this is not going to be

08:07

decided any longer Washington DC the

08:10

states will decide so if States say that

08:13

okay 15 weeks is is the legal time

08:17

period where women can have an abortion

08:19

and according to reporting is

08:21

considering a nationwide abortion ban if

08:23

he gets back in office I mean talk about

08:25

attaching yourself to a sinking ship but

08:28

its consequences it's impact could be

08:30

just as devastating consider this new

08:32

reporting from Politico so right now the

08:35

Heritage foundation's 2025 presidential

08:38

transition project the sprawling

08:40

Coalition made up of nearly a 100

08:42

anti-abortion and conservative groups is

08:44

in the process of Designing a

08:46

far-reaching anti-abortion agenda for

08:48

Trump's second term their drafting

08:51

executive orders Trump could use to roll

08:53

back abortion protections orders that he

08:55

could Implement as early as day

08:57

want under a second Trump term federal

09:00

agencies could be empowered to and tele

09:02

medicine for abortion pills they could

09:04

penalize and prosecute virtual clinics

09:06

that prescribe abortion pills to

09:08

patients and states with a ban federal

09:10

agencies could stop health clinics that

09:12

receive federal Family Planning funds

09:15

from advising patients of all their

09:17

options including abortion and they

09:19

could classify ingredients in abortion

09:21

pills as so-called forever chemicals

09:23

which of course are subject to stricter

09:26

regulations they also want to require

09:28

doctors who prescribe the pill even for

09:30

miscarriages to collect and dispose of

09:33

the aborted fetus but there's more

09:36

project 2025 is also pushing Trump to

09:38

enforce a 19th century era law known as

09:41

Kong act which could not only cut access

09:44

to the pills used in the majority of

09:46

abortions but access to the medical

09:48

equipment used for the procedure and of

09:51

course strict enforcement of the law

09:52

could lead to criminal prosecutions of

09:54

both providers and patients and yes

09:57

they're also going after medically

09:58

necessary abortions calling on Trump to

10:01

resend Biden Administration guidance

10:03

that requires hospitals to offer

10:05

abortions to patients experiencing

10:07

medical emergencies regardless of State

10:10

bans on the procedure for many that can

10:13

be a matter of life and death so do not

10:15

let Donald Trump fool you with the

10:17

so-called moderate talk on abortion I

10:19

mean you'd think the results in Alabama

10:21

would have alarm bells ringing right but

10:23

if it means they're speaking out against

10:25

the cult leader they'll just pull a my

10:27

pillow over their head and read their go

10:29
